PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report (including, but not limited to, the information contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”) contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used, statements which are not historical in nature, including those containing words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. This report also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data. This data involves several assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties contained in this report, and accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in this report.
These forward-looking statements are subject, but not limited, to various risks and uncertainties, including those relating to:
•defaults on the mortgage loans securing our mortgage revenue bonds (“MRBs”) and governmental issuer loans (“GILs”);
•the competitive environment in which we operate;
•risks associated with investing in multifamily, student, senior citizen residential properties and commercial properties;
•general economic, geopolitical, and financial conditions, including the current and future impact of changing interest rates, inflation, and international conflicts on business operations, employment, and financial conditions;
•current financial conditions within the banking industry, including the effects of recent failures of financial institutions, liquidity levels, and responses by the Federal Reserve, Department of the Treasury, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to address these issues;
•uncertain conditions within the domestic and international macroeconomic environment, including monetary and fiscal policy and conditions in the investment, credit, interest rate, and derivatives markets;
•adverse reactions in U.S. financial markets related to actions of foreign central banks or the economic performance of foreign economies, including in particular China, Japan, the European Union, and the United Kingdom;
•the general condition of the real estate markets in the regions in which we operate, which may be unfavorably impacted by increases in mortgage interest rates, slowing economic growth, persistent elevated inflation levels, and other factors;
•changes in interest rates and credit spreads, as well as the success of any hedging strategies we may undertake in relation to such changes, and the effect such changes may have on the relative spreads between the yield on our investments and our cost of financing;
•persistent inflationary trends, spurred by multiple factors including expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, higher commodity prices, a tight labor market, and low residential vacancy rates, which may result in further interest rate increases and lead to increased market volatility;
•our ability to access debt and equity capital to finance our assets;
•current maturities of our financing arrangements and our ability to renew or refinance such financing arrangements;
•exercising of redemption rights by the holders of the Series A Preferred Units;
•local, regional, national and international economic and credit market conditions;
•recapture of previously issued Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTCs”) in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”);
•geographic concentration of properties related to our investments; and
•changes in the U.S. corporate tax code and other government regulations affecting our business.
Other risks, uncertainties and factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
All references to “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Partnership” in this report mean Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP, its wholly owned subsidiaries and our consolidated Variable Interest Entities ("VIE" or "VIEs").

GREYSTONE HOUSING IMPACT INVESTORS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The Partnership was formed on April 2, 1998, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act primarily for the purpose of acquiring, holding, selling and otherwise dealing with a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds (“MRBs”) that have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily and student housing residential properties and commercial properties. The Partnership has also invested in governmental issuer loans (“GILs”), which are similar to MRBs, to provide construction financing for affordable multifamily properties. The Partnership expects and believes the interest earned on these MRBs and GILs is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Partnership may also invest in other types of securities, including taxable MRBs and taxable GILs secured by real estate and may make property loans to multifamily residential properties which may or may not be financed by MRBs or GILs held by the Partnership and may or may not be secured by real estate.
The Partnership also makes noncontrolling equity investments in unconsolidated entities for the construction, stabilization, and ultimate sale of market-rate multifamily properties. The Partnership is entitled to distributions if, and when, cash is available for distribution either through operations, a refinance or a sale of the property. In addition, the Partnership may acquire and hold interests in multifamily, student and senior citizen residential properties (“MF Properties”) until the “highest and best use” can be determined by management.
The Partnership has issued Beneficial Unit Certificates (“BUCs”) representing assigned limited partnership interests to investors (“BUC holders”). The Partnership has designated three series of non-cumulative, non-voting, non-convertible preferred units (collectively, the “Preferred Units”) that represent limited partnership interests in the Partnership consisting of the Series A Preferred Units, the Series A-1 Preferred Units, and the Series B Preferred Units. The outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series A-1 Preferred Units are redeemable in the future (Note 20). The Partnership had not yet issued Series B Preferred Units as of March 31, 2023. The holders of the BUCs and Preferred Units are referred to herein collectively as “Unitholders."
On December 5, 2022, America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two (the “General Partner” or “AFCA 2”), in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, and Greystone ILP, Inc. (the “Initial Limited Partner”), in its capacity as the initial limited partner of the Partnership, entered into the Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”). Mortgage investments, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, consist of MRBs, taxable MRBs, GILs, taxable GILs and property loans. The Partnership Agreement authorizes the Partnership to make investments in tax-exempt securities other than mortgage investments provided that the tax-exempt investments are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a national securities rating agency. The Partnership Agreement also allows the Partnership to invest in other securities whose interest may be taxable for federal income tax purposes. Total tax-exempt investments and other investments cannot exceed 25% of the Partnership's total assets at the time of acquisition as required under the Partnership Agreement. Tax-exempt investments and other investments primarily consist of real estate assets and investments in unconsolidated entities. In addition, the amount of other investments is limited based on the conditions to the exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
AFCA 2 is the sole general partner of the Partnership. Greystone Manager, the general partner of AFCA 2, an affiliate of Greystone & Co. II LLC (collectively with its affiliates, “Greystone”).
All disclosures of the number of rental units for properties related to MRBs, GILs, property loans and MF Properties are unaudited.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

•Lindo Paseo LLC, a wholly owned limited liability company, which owns 100% of the Suites on Paseo MF Property.
The Partnership also consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Partnership is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
Investments in Mortgage Revenue Bonds and Taxable Mortgage Revenue Bonds
The Partnership accounts for its investments in MRBs and taxable MRBs under the accounting guidance for certain investments in debt and equity securities. The Partnership’s investments in these instruments are classified as available-for-sale debt securities and are reported at estimated fair value. The net unrealized gains or losses on these investments are reflected on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses do not affect the cash flow of the bonds, distributions to Unitholders, or the characterization of the interest income. See Note 23 for a description of the Partnership’s methodology for estimating the fair value of MRBs and taxable MRBs. The Partnership reports interest receivables for MRBs and taxable MRBs separately from the reported fair value within “Interest receivable, net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Investments in Government Issuer Loans and Taxable Governmental Issuer Loans
The Partnership accounts for its investment in governmental issuer loans (“GILs”) and taxable GILs under the accounting guidance for certain investments in debt and equity securities. The Partnership’s investment in these instruments are classified as held-to-maturity debt securities and are reported at amortized cost, which is net of unamortized loan origination costs, discounts, and allowance for credit losses. The Partnership evaluates its outstanding principal and interest receivable balances associated with its GILs for collectability. If collection of these balances is not probable, the loan is placed on non-accrual status and either an allowance for credit loss will be recognized or the outstanding balance will be written off. The Partnership reports interest receivables for GILs and taxable GILs separately from the amortized cost basis within “Interest receivable, net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Property Loans
The Partnership invests in property loans made to the owners of certain multifamily, student housing and skilled nursing properties. The property loans are considered held-for-investment and are reported at amortized cost, which is net of unamortized loan origination costs, discounts, and allowance for credit losses. Most property loans have been made to multifamily properties that secure MRBs and GILs owned by the Partnership. The Partnership recognizes interest income on the property loans as earned and the interest income is reported within “Other interest income” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is not recognized for property loans that are deemed to be in nonaccrual status. If collection of outstanding principal and interest receivable balances is not probable, the loan is placed on non-accrual status and either an allowance for credit loss will be recognized or the outstanding balance will be written off. Interest income is recognized upon the repayment of these property loans and accrued interest which is dependent largely on the cash flows or proceeds upon sale or refinancing of the related property. The Partnership reports interest receivables for property loans separately from the amortized cost basis within “Interest receivable, net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
11
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, the Partnership adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, and subsequent related amendments (“ASC 326”), which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model establishes a single allowance framework for financial assets carried at amortized cost which reflects an estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of financial assets. The adoption of the ASU 2016-13 requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to Partners’ Capital upon adoption. Additionally, ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced disclosures, included additional disclosures regarding credit quality. The allowance for credit losses is presented as a valuation reserve to the corresponding assets on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Expected credit losses related to non-cancelable unfunded commitments and financial guaranties are accounted for as separate liabilities and are included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption on January 1, 2023, the Partnership recorded a cumulative effect of accounting change of approximately $5.9 million as a direct reduction to Partners’ Capital. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recognized through “Provision for credit losses” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities, Held-for-Investment Loans and Related Unfunded Commitments
The Partnership estimates allowances for credit losses for its GILs, taxable GILs, property loans and related non-cancelable funding commitments using a Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method loss-rate model, combined with qualitative factors that are sensitive to changes in forecasted economic conditions. The Partnership applies qualitative factors related to risk factors and changes in current economic conditions that may not be adequately reflected in quantitatively derived results, or other relevant factors to ensure the allowance for credit losses reflects the Partnership’s best estimate of current expected credit losses. The WARM method pools assets sharing similar characteristics and utilizes a historical annual charge-off rate which is applied to the outstanding asset balances over the remaining weighted average life of the pool, adjusted for certain qualitative factors to estimate expected credit losses. The Partnership has minimal history with GILs, taxable GILs, and property loans to date and has had minimal historical credit losses to date. As such, the Partnership uses historical annual charge-off data for similar assets from publicly available loan data through the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (“FFEIC”). The Partnership adjusts for current conditions and the impact of qualitative forecasts that are reasonable and supportable. The Partnership assesses qualitative adjustments related to, but not limited to, credit quality changes in the asset portfolio, general economic conditions, changes in the affordable multifamily real estate markets, changes in lending policies and underwriting, and underlying collateral values.
The Partnership will elect to separately evaluate an asset if it no longer shares the same risk characteristics as the respective pool or the specific investment attributes do not lend to analysis with a model-based approach. For collateral-dependent assets when foreclosure is probable, the Partnership will apply a practical expedient to estimate current expected credit losses as the difference between the fair value of collateral and the amortized cost of the asset.
Charge-offs to the allowance for credit losses occur when losses are confirmed through the receipt of cash or other consideration from the completion of a sale, when a modification or restructuring takes place in which the Partnership grants a concession to a borrower or agrees to a discount in full or partial satisfaction of the asset, when the Partnership takes ownership and control of the underlying collateral in full satisfaction of the asset, or when significant collection efforts have ceased and it is highly likely that a loss has been realized.
The Partnership has elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivables related to its GILs, taxable GILs and property loans because uncollectable accrued interest receivable is written off in a timely manner pursuant to policies for placing assets on non-accrual status.
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
The Partnership periodically determines if allowances of credit losses are needed for its MRBs and taxable MRBs under the applicable guidance for available-for-sale debt securities. The Partnership evaluates whether unrealized losses are considered impairments based on various factors including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
•The severity of the decline in fair value;
•The Partnership’s intent to hold and the likelihood of it being required to sell the security before its value recovers;
•Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, its collateral, or both;
•The likelihood of the borrower being able to make scheduled interest and principal payments; and
12
•Failure of the borrower to make scheduled interest or principal payments.
While the Partnership evaluates all available information, it focuses specifically on whether the estimated fair value of the security is below amortized cost. If the estimated fair value of an MRB is below amortized cost, and the Partnership has the intent to sell or may be required to sell the MRB prior to the time that its value recovers or until maturity, the Partnership will record an impairment through earnings equal to the difference between the MRB’s carrying value and its fair value. If the Partnership does not expect to sell an other-than-temporarily impaired MRB, only the portion of the impairment related to credit losses is recognized through earnings as a provision for credit loss, with the remainder recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. In determining the provision for credit loss, the Partnership compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost basis of the MRB and records any provision for credit losses as an adjustment to the allowance for credit losses. The Partnership has elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivables related to its MRBs and taxable MRBs because uncollectable accrued interest receivable is written off in a timely manner pursuant to policies for placing assets on non-accrual status.
The recognition of an impairment, provision for credit loss, and the potential impairment analysis are subject to a considerable degree of judgment, the results of which, when applied under different conditions or assumptions, could have a material impact on the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements. If the Partnership experiences deterioration in the values of its MRB portfolio, the Partnership may incur impairments or provisions for credit losses that could negatively impact the Partnership’s financial condition, cash flows, and reported earnings. The Partnership periodically reviews any previously impaired MRBs for indications of a recovery of value. If a recovery of value is identified, the Partnership will report the recovery of prior credit losses through its allowance for credit losses as a provision for credit losses (recoveries). For MRB impairment recoveries identified prior to the adoption of the CECL model, the Partnership will accrete the recovery of prior credit losses into investment income over the remaining term of the MRB.
Estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such SEC rules and regulations, although the Partnership believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The most significant estimates and assumptions include those used in determining: (i) the fair value of MRBs and taxable MRBs; (ii) investment impairments; (iii) impairment of real estate assets; and (iv) allowances for credit losses.
The Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared consistently with the 2022 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Partnership’s financial position as of March 31, 2023, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited annual consolidated financial statements but does not contain all the footnote disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Federal Reserve announced seven increases in short-term interest rates totaling 425 basis points during 2022 and additional increases totaling 50 basis points in February and March 2023. The Federal Reserve has signaled further future short-term interest rate increases may be needed to combat inflation in the broader economy. In addition, geopolitical conflicts continue to impact the general global economic environment. These factors have caused volatility in the fixed income markets, which has impacted the value of some of the Partnership’s investment assets, particularly those with fixed interest rates. In addition, increases in short-term interest rates will generally result in increases in the interest cost associated with the Partnership’s variable rate debt financing arrangements and for construction debt of properties underlying our investments in unconsolidated entities. The extent to which general economic, geopolitical, and financial conditions will impact the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations in the future is uncertain and actual results and outcomes could differ from current estimates.
The current inflationary environment in the United States may increase operating expenses at properties securing the Partnership’s investments and general operations, which may reduce net operating results of the related properties and result in lower debt service coverage or higher than anticipated capitalized interest requirements for properties under construction. Such occurrences may negatively
13
impact the value of the Partnership’s investments. Higher general and administrative expenses of the Partnership and real estate operating expenses of the MF Properties may adversely affect the Partnership’s operating results, including a reduction in net income.
Furthermore, the potential for an economic recession either globally or locally in the U.S. or other economies could further impact the valuation of our investment assets, limit the Partnership’s ability to obtain additional debt financing from lenders, and limit opportunities for additional investments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, which enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses for financial assets to include the use of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to better estimate credit losses. In general, the allowance for credit losses is expected to increase when changing from an incurred loss to expected loss methodology. ASU 2016-13 also includes changes to the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities such as the Partnership’s MRBs and taxable MRBs. ASU 2016-13 became effective for the Partnership on January 1, 2023 and was adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to Partners’ Capital as of that date. See the Allowance for Credit Losses accounting policy above and Note 13 for further details.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited period meant to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reform to LIBOR and certain other reference rates. The standard is effective for all entities from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 is only applicable to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, and that were entered into or evaluated prior to January 1, 2023. The Partnership has evaluated its population of instruments indexed, either directly or indirectly, to LIBOR and does not currently expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Partnership Income, Expenses and Distributions
The Partnership Agreement contains provisions for the distribution of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, for the allocation of income or loss from operations, and for the allocation of income and loss arising from a repayment, sale, or liquidation of investments. Income and losses will be allocated to each Unitholder on a periodic basis, as determined by the General Partner, based on the number of Preferred Units and BUCs held by each Unitholder as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is to be made. Distributions of Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds will be made to each Unitholder of record on the last day of each distribution period based on the number of Preferred Units and BUCs held by each Unitholder on that date. Cash distributions are currently made on a quarterly basis. The holders of the Preferred Units are entitled to distributions at a fixed rate per annum prior to payment of distributions to other Unitholders.
For purposes of the Partnership Agreement, income and cash received by the Partnership from its investments in MF Properties, investments in unconsolidated entities, and property loans will be included in the Partnership’s Net Interest Income, and cash distributions received by the Partnership from the sale or redemption of such investments will be included in the Partnership’s Net Residual Proceeds.
Net Interest Income (Tier 1) is allocated 99% to the limited partners and BUC holders as a class and 1% to the General Partner. Net Interest Income (Tier 2) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 2) are allocated 75% to the limited partners and BUC holders as a class and 25% to the General Partner. Net Interest Income (Tier 2) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 2) in excess of the maximum allowable amount as set forth in the Partnership Agreement are considered Net Interest Income (Tier 3) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 3) and are allocated 100% to the limited partners and BUC holders as a class.
4. Net income per BUC
The Partnership has disclosed basic and diluted net income per BUC in the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unvested RUAs issued under the Plan are considered participating securities and are potentially dilutive. There were no dilutive BUCs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
14
5. Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)
The Partnership has determined the Tender Option Bond (“TOB”), Term TOB and TEBS financings are VIEs where the Partnership is the primary beneficiary. In determining the primary beneficiary of each VIE, the Partnership considered which party has the power to control the activities of the VIE which most significantly impact its financial performance, the risks that the entity was designed to create, and how each risk affects the VIE. The agreements related to the TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financings stipulate the Partnership has the sole right to cause the trusts to sell the underlying assets. If the underlying assets were sold, the extent to which the VIEs will be exposed to gains or losses would result from decisions made by the Partnership.
As the primary beneficiary, the Partnership reports the TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financings on a consolidated basis. The Partnership reports the senior securities related to the TOB, term TOB, and TEBS financings as secured debt financings on the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets (Note 16). The investment assets securing the TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financings are reported as assets on the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets (Notes 6, 7, 8 and 12).
The Partnership has determined its investment in Vantage at San Marcos is a VIE and the Partnership is the primary beneficiary. The Partnership may currently require the managing member of the VIE to purchase the Partnership’s equity investment in the VIE at a price equal to the Partnership’s carrying value. If the Partnership were to redeem its investment, the underlying assets of the property would likely need to be sold. If the underlying assets were sold, the extent to which the VIE will be exposed to gains or losses would result from decisions made by the Partnership. The Partnership’s option to redeem its investment in Vantage at San Marcos became effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021. As the primary beneficiary, the Partnership reports the assets and liabilities of Vantage at San Marcos on a consolidated basis, which consist of a real estate asset investment (Note 10), mortgage payable (Note 17), and current liabilities associated with the construction costs of a market-rate multifamily property (Note 14). If certain events occur in the future, the Partnership’s option to redeem the investment will terminate and the VIE may be deconsolidated.
Non-Consolidated VIEs
The Partnership has variable interests in various VIEs in the form of MRBs, taxable MRBs, GILs, taxable GILs, property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities. These variable interests do not allow the Partnership to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIEs. As a result, the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the financial statements of these VIEs in the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Partnership held variable interests in 31 and 35 non-consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The following table summarizes the Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss associated with its variable interests as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Maximum Exposure to Loss of Non-consolidated VIEs | |
| | March 31, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
Mortgage revenue bonds | | $ | 77,127,750 | | | $ | 71,629,581 | |
Taxable mortgage revenue bonds | | | 4,038,780 | | | | 3,044,829 | |
Governmental issuer loans | | | 244,527,738 | | | | 300,230,435 | |
Taxable governmental issuer loans | | | 11,000,000 | | | | 8,000,000 | |
Property loans | | | 128,173,126 | | | | 169,002,497 | |
Investments in unconsolidated entities | | | 111,135,056 | | | | 115,790,841 | |
| | $ | 576,002,450 | | | $ | 667,698,183 | |
The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss for non-consolidated VIEs associated with MRBs and taxable MRBs as of March 31, 2023 is equal to the Partnership’s cost adjusted for paydowns. The difference between the MRB carrying value in the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets and the maximum exposure to loss is a function of the unrealized gains or losses. The Partnership has future MRB and taxable MRB funding commitments related to non-consolidated VIEs totaling $102.5 million and $25.9 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023 (Note 19).
The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss for non-consolidated VIEs associated with GILs, taxable GILs, property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities as of March 31, 2023 is equal to the Partnership’s carrying value. The Partnership has future GIL, taxable GIL, property loan and investment in unconsolidated entities funding commitments related to non-consolidated VIEs totaling $87.5 million, $56.2 million, $49.1 million, and $32.9 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023 (Note 19).

6. Mortgage Revenue Bonds
The Partnership’s MRBs provide construction and/or permanent financing for income-producing multifamily rental properties and a commercial property. MRBs are either held directly by the Partnership or are held in trusts created in connection with debt financing transactions (Note 16). The MRBs predominantly bear interest at fixed interest rates and require regular principal and interest payments on either a monthly or semi-annual basis. The Partnership had the following investments in MRBs as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

(1)The Partnership has a remaining MRB funding commitment of $39.3 million as of December 31, 2022. The MRB and the unfunded MRB commitment are accounted for as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value. The reported unrealized loss includes the unrealized loss on the current MRB carrying value (based on current fair value) as well as the unrealized loss on the Partnership’s remaining $39.3 million funding commitment outstanding as of December 31, 2022 (also based on current fair value). The Partnership determined the unrealized loss is a result of increasing market interest rates and that the cumulative unrealized loss is not considered a credit loss.
The Partnership has accrued interest receivable related to its MRBs of $5.1 million and $4.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, that is reported as interest receivable, net in the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

7. Governmental Issuer Loans
The Partnership invests in GILs that are issued by state or local governmental authorities to finance the construction of affordable multifamily properties. The Partnership expects and believes the interest earned on the GILs is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The GILs do not constitute an obligation of any government, agency or authority and no government, agency or authority is liable for them, nor is the taxing power of any state government pledged to the payment of principal or interest on the GILs. Each GIL is secured by a mortgage on all real and personal property of the affordable multifamily property. The GILs share first mortgage lien positions with property loans and/or taxable GILs owned by the Partnership (Notes 8 and 12). Sources of the funds to pay principal and interest on a GIL consist of the net cash flow or the sale or refinancing proceeds from the secured property and limited-to-full payment guaranties provided by affiliates of the borrower. The Partnership has committed to provide total funding for certain GILs on a draw-down basis during construction.
All GILs were held in trust in connection with TOB trust financings as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (Note 16). At the closing of each GIL, Freddie Mac, through a servicer, has forward committed to purchase the GIL at maturity at par if the property has reached stabilization and other conditions are met.

9. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
The Partnership has non-controlling investments in unconsolidated entities. The Partnership applies the equity method of accounting by initially recording these investments at cost, subsequently adjusted for accrued preferred returns, the Partnership’s share of earnings (losses) of the unconsolidated entities, cash contributions, and distributions. The carrying value of the equity investments represents the Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss. The Partnership is entitled to a preferred return on invested capital in each unconsolidated entity. The Partnership’s preferred return is reported as “Investment income” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
An affiliate of the Vantage unconsolidated entities guarantees a preferred return on the Partnership’s Vantage investments through a date approximately five years after commencement of construction.

In January 2023, the Partnership sold the land held for development in Omaha, NE and received proceeds of $442,000 which is approximately the Partnership's carrying value.
In December 2022, the Partnership sold 100% of its ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property to an unrelated non-profit organization. The Partnership received an unsecured property loan upon sale (Note 8) payable from future net cash flows of the property. The buyer assumed two mortgages payable associated with the property and the Partnership agreed to provide certain recourse support for the assumed mortgages. The remainder of the purchase price was funded by the issuance of a seller financing property loan to the Partnership in the amount of $4.8 million (Note 8). As a result of the sale, the Partnership deconsolidated The 50/50 MF Property assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements. The Partnership incurred costs of approximately $404,000 related to the sale which reduced the Partnership's gain on sale. The Partnership has deferred its entire gain on sale of approximately $6.6 million which is reported within accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Partnership will recognize the deferred gain upon collection of principal of the unsecured property loan (Note 14).
Net loss, exclusive of the gains on sale, related to The 50/50 MF Property for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 is as follows:

See Note 19 for further information regarding the Partnership’s remaining taxable GIL and taxable MRB funding commitments.
On January 1, 2023, the Partnership adopted ASU 2016-13 which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss model known as the CECL model. See Note 13 for information regarding the Partnership’s allowance for credit losses related to its taxable GILs.
See Note 23 for a description of the methodology and significant assumptions for determining the fair value of derivative instruments, taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments. Unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments are reported as “Interest expense” in the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gain or losses on taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments are recorded in the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income to reflect changes in their estimated fair values resulting from market conditions and fluctuations in the present value of the expected cash flows from the assets.
As of March 31, 2023, two taxable MRBs and four taxable GILs with a reported value totaling $20.0 million were held in trust in connection with TOB trust financings (Note 16).

Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities, Held-for-Investment Loans and Related Unfunded Commitments

The Partnership considers key credit quality indicators when estimating expected credit losses for assets recorded at amortized cost. Such assets primarily finance the construction or rehabilitation of affordable multifamily properties. The GILs are primarily repaid through a conversion to permanent financing pursuant to a forward commitment from Freddie Mac dependent on completion of construction and various other conditions that each property must meet. The property loans related to GILs are primarily to be repaid from future equity contributions by investors and other forward financing commitments provided by various parties. If Freddie Mac is not required to purchase the GIL and payment of the property loans from available sources is not made, the GIL and associated property loan will have defaulted, and the Partnership has the right to foreclose on the underlying property, the associated low income housing tax credits, and enforce the guaranty provisions against affiliates of the individual property borrower. Accordingly, the Partnership’s key credit quality indicators include, but are not limited to, construction status of the property, financial strength of borrowers and guarantors, adequacy of capitalized interest reserves, lease up and occupancy of the property, the status of other conversion conditions, and operating results of the underlying property. The property loans secured by other multifamily properties are repaid through property operations or future sales proceeds.
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 effective date of January 1, 2023, there is a lack of comparability in both the allowance and provisions for credit losses for the periods presented. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented using the CECL methodology, while comparative period information continues to be reported in accordance with the incurred loss methodology in effect for prior years.
The following table summarizes the changes in the Partnership’s allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 | |
| | Governmental Issuer Loans | | | Taxable Governmental Issuer Loans | | | Property Loans | | | Unfunded Commitments | | | Total | |

Current provision for expected credit losses | | | (65,000 | ) | | | 10,000 | | | | (153,000 | ) | | | (337,000 | ) | | | (545,000 | ) |
Balance, end of period | | $ | 2,080,000 | | | $ | 89,000 | | | $ | 2,450,000 | | | $ | 1,280,000 | | | $ | 5,899,000 | |
At adoption, on January 1, 2023, the Partnership recorded an allowance for credit losses of approximately $5.9 million as a reduction to Partners’ Capital, or approximately 0.85% of the Partnerships carrying value of GILs, taxable GILs and property loans and total unfunded commitments. This amount does not include the Live 929 Apartments property loan that had a previous asset-specific allowance of $495,000.
The Partnership recorded a recovery of provision for credit losses of approximately $545,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which caused a decrease in the allowance for credit losses by the same amount. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average life of the asset portfolio and updates of market data used as quantitative assumptions in the Partnership’s model to estimate the allowance for credit losses.
Risk Ratings
The Partnership evaluates all GILs, taxable GILs and property loans on a quarterly basis and assigns a risk rating based upon management’s assessment of the borrower’s ability to pay debt service and the likelihood of repayment through the GIL’s conversion to Freddie Mac financing and the property loan’s payment from future equity contribution commitments. The assessment is subjective and based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, construction status of the property, financial strength of borrowers and guarantors, adequacy of capitalized interest reserves, lease up and occupancy of the property, the status of other conversion conditions, and operating results of the underlying property. The credit risk analysis and rating assignment is performed quarterly in conjunction with the Partnership’s assessment of its allowance for credit losses. The Partnership uses the following definitions for its risk ratings:
•Performing – The underlying property currently meets or exceeds management’s performance expectations and metrics. There are currently no material indicators that current debt service or repayment of the GILs and property loans is at risk.
•Watch – The underlying property associated with the GILs and property loans currently has certain performance or other risk factors that require specific attention from management. The Partnership could experience loss if these factors are not resolved in a timely or satisfactory manner. The Partnership currently estimates that such factors will be adequately resolved and that current debt service and final repayment of the GILs and property loans is not at material risk.
31
•Nonperforming – The underlying property associated with the GILs and property loans is not current on debt service payments and/or has material performance or other risk factors. The Partnership currently believes that full collection of debt service and final repayment is questionable and/or improbable.

The Partnership evaluates its outstanding principal and interest receivable balances associated with its GILs and property loans for collectability. If collection of these balances is not probable, the loan is placed on non-accrual status and either an asset-specific allowance for credit loss will be recognized or the outstanding balance will be written off. There are no GILs, taxable GILs, or property loans that are currently past due on contractual debt service payments and the Partnership considered all GILs, taxable GILs and property loans to be performing as of March 31, 2023, except as noted below. The Partnership currently has two property loans on nonaccrual status.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the interest to be earned on the Live 929 Apartments property loan was in nonaccrual status. The discounted cash flow method used by management to establish the net realizable value of the property loan determined the collection of the interest accrued was not probable and the loan is considered to be nonperforming. The Live 929 Apartments property loan has outstanding principal of approximately $495,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which was fully reserved with an asset-specific allowance.
In December 2022, the Partnership received a property loan in exchange for the sale of its 100% interest in The 50/50 MF Property in the amount of $4.8 million. See Note 10 for further information on the property sale. The property loan is unsecured, will be repaid from net cash flows of the property, and is subordinate to the mortgage debt of the property which was assumed by the buyer as described in Note 10. The property loan is in non-accrual status as of March 31, 2023 because payments under the loan are not required immediately and are expected to be paid from future net cash flows of the property as previously described in Note 10. As such, the loan is considered to be performing. The property loan associated with the 50/50 MF Property had outstanding principal of approximately $5.2 million and $4.8 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
The Partnership will record an impairment for MRBs and taxable MRBs through allowance for credit losses for the portion of the difference between the estimated fair value and amortized cost that is related to expected credit losses. The following table summarizes the changes in the Partnership’s allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:
32

Balance, end of period (3) | | | $ | 9,961,924 | | | $ | 10,030,736 | |
(1)The other addition is related to a re-allocation of the loan loss allowance upon restructuring of the Live 929 Apartments MRBs and property loan.
(2)The Partnership compared the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost basis of the Live 929 Apartments Series 2022A MRB, which indicated a recovery of value. As the recovery was identified prior to the effective date of the CECL standard, the Partnership will accrete the recovery of prior credit loss into investment income over the term of the MRB.
(3)The allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2023 and 2022 relate to the Provision Center 2014-1 MRB and the Live 929 Apartments – 2022A MRB.

33
(4)The variable rate is equal to 2.50% plus a variable component based on the 1-month forward looking term Secured Overnight Financing Rate as published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (“Term SOFR”).
The Partnership has entered into a secured Credit Agreement (“Secured Credit Agreement”) of up to $40.0 million with BankUnited and Bankers Trust Company, and the sole lead arranger and administrative agent, BankUnited, for a general secured line of credit (the “General LOC”). The aggregate available commitment cannot exceed a borrowing base calculation, that is equal to 40% multiplied by the aggregate value of a pool of eligible encumbered assets. Eligible encumbered assets consist of (i) the net book value of the Suites on Paseo MF Property, and (ii) 100% of the Partnership’s capital contributions to equity investments, subject to certain restrictions. The proceeds of the General LOC will be used by the Partnership to purchase additional investments and to meet general working capital and liquidity requirements. The Partnership may borrow, prepay and reborrow amounts at any time through the maturity date, subject to the limitations of the borrowing base.
The General LOC is secured by first priority security interests in the Partnership’s Vantage investments, a mortgage and assignment of leases and rents of the Suites on Paseo MF Property, and a security interest in a bank account at BankUnited, in which the Partnership must maintain a balance of not less than $5.0 million. In addition, an affiliate of the Partnership, Greystone Select Incorporated (“Greystone Select”), has provided a deficiency guaranty of the Partnership’s obligations under the Secured Credit Agreement. Greystone Select is subject to certain covenants and was in compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2023. No fees were paid to Greystone Select related to the deficiency guaranty agreement.
The Partnership is subject to various affirmative and negative covenants under the Secured Credit Agreement that, among others, require the Partnership to maintain a minimum liquidity of not less than $5.0 million, maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of $100.0 million, and to notify BankUnited if the Partnership’s consolidated net worth declines by (a) more than 20% from the immediately preceding quarter, or (b) more than 35% from the date at the end of two consecutive calendar quarters ending immediately thereafter. The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2023.
In addition, the Partnership and Bankers Trust Company have entered into an amended and restated credit agreement for a secured non-operating line of credit (the “Acquisition LOC”) with a maximum commitment of up to $50.0 million. The Acquisition LOC may be used to fund purchases of multifamily real estate, tax-exempt or taxable MRBs, and tax-exempt or taxable loans issued to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation, or construction of affordable housing or which are otherwise secured by real estate or mortgage-backed securities (collectively, the “financed assets”). The financed assets acquired with the proceeds of the Acquisition LOC will be held in a custody account and the outstanding balances of the Acquisition LOC will be secured by a first priority interest in the financed assets and will be maintained in the custody account until released by Bankers Trust Company.
Advances on the Acquisition LOC are due on the 270th day following the advance date but may be extended for up to three additional 90-day periods, but in no event later than the maturity date by providing Bankers Trust Company with a written request for such extension together with a principal payment of 5% of the principal amount of the original acquisition advance for the first such extension, 10% for the second such extension, and 20% for the third such extension. The Partnership is subject to various affirmative and negative covenants related to the Acquisition LOC, with the principal covenant being that the Partnership’s Leverage Ratio (as defined by the Partnership) will not exceed a specific percentage. The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2023.

(1)The tax treatment of interest paid to the trust senior trust securities is dependent on the structure of the trust financing. Debt financings designated as “tax-exempt” in the table above are such that the Partnership expects and believes the interest on the senior securities is exempt from federal income taxes, which typically requires a lower remarketing rate to place the senior securities at each weekly reset.
(2)The remarketing senior securities rate is the market interest rate determined by the remarketing agent to ensure all senior securities tendered by holder for weekly remarketing are purchased at par.
(3)Facility fees have a variable component.
(4)The M45 TEBS has an initial interest rate of 3.82% through July 31, 2023. From August 1, 2023 through the stated maturity date, the interest rate is 4.39%. These rates are inclusive of credit enhancement fees payable to Freddie Mac.
(5)The Secured Notes have a stated rate of 9.25% plus SOFR which resets monthly. The Partnership has entered into a total return swap transaction with the Secured Notes as the reference security and a notional amount totaling the outstanding principal on the Secured Notes. The total return swap effectively nets down the interest rate on the Secured Notes. Considering the effect of the total return swap, the effective net interest rate of the Secured Notes is 8.75% as of March 31, 2023. See Note 18 for further information on the total return swap.
(6)The Partnership has restricted cash totaling approximately $103,000 related to its total net position with Mizuho Capital Markets.
(7)The TOB trust is securitized by the Scharbauer Flats Apartments and Centennial Crossings property loans.
(8)The TOB trust is securitized by the Legacy Commons at Signal Hills property loan, Hilltop at Signal Hills property loan, Hope on Avalon
taxable GIL, and the Oasis at Twin Lakes property loan.
(9)The TOB trust is securitized by the Residency at the Mayer taxable MRB, Ocotillo Springs taxable MRB, and Osprey Village property loan.
(10)The TOB trust is securitized by the Willow Place GIL and property loan, Lutheran Gardens MRB, Magnolia Heights GIL and property loan, Poppy Grove I taxable GIL, Poppy Grove II taxable GIL and Poppy Grove III taxable GIL.

The TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financing arrangements are consolidated VIEs of the Partnership (Note 5). The Partnership is the primary beneficiary due to its rights to the underlying assets. Accordingly, the Partnership consolidates the TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financings on the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements. See information regarding the MRBs, GILs, property loans, taxable MRBs and taxable GILs securitized within the TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financings in Notes 6, 7, 8 and 12, respectively. As the residual interest holder in the arrangements, the Partnership may be required to make certain payments or contribute certain assets to the VIEs if certain events occur. Such events include, but are not limited to, a downgrade in the investment rating of the senior securities issued by the VIEs, a ratings downgrade of the liquidity provider for the VIEs, increases in short term interest rates beyond pre-set maximums, an inability to re-market the senior securities, or an inability to obtain liquidity for the senior securities. If such an event occurs in an individual VIE, the Partnership may be required to deleverage the VIE by repurchasing some or all of the senior securities. Otherwise, the underlying collateral will be sold and, if the proceeds are not sufficient to pay the principal amount of the senior securities plus accrued interest and other trust expenses, the Partnership will be required to fund any such shortfall. If the Partnership does not fund the shortfall, the default and liquidation provisions will be invoked against the Partnership. The shortfall on each TEBS financing is limited to the Partnership’s residual interest. The Partnership has never been, and does not expect in the future, to be required to reimburse the VIEs for any shortfall.
The Partnership has entered into various TOB trust financings with Mizuho and Barclays secured by various investment assets. The TOB trusts and Secured Notes with Mizuho and the TOB trusts with Barclays are subject to respective master agreements that contain certain covenants and requirements. The TOB trust financings with Mizuho and Barclays require that the Partnership's residual interests in each TOB trust maintain a certain value in relation to total assets in each TOB trust. The Mizuho and Barclays master agreements also require the Partnership's partners' capital, as defined, to maintain a certain threshold and that the Partnership remain listed on the NYSE. The master agreement with Barclays also puts limits on the Partnership's Leverage Ratio (as defined by the Partnership). In addition, both Mizuho and Barclays master agreements specify that default(s) on the Partnership’s other senior debts above a specified dollar amount, in the aggregate, will constitute a default under the master agreement. If the Partnership is not in compliance with any of these covenants, a termination event of the financing facilities would be triggered. The Partnership was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2023.
The Partnership is subject to mark-to-market collateral posting provision for positions under the ISDA master agreements with Mizuho and Barclays related to the TOB Trusts and Secured Notes. The amount of collateral posting required is dependent on the valuation of the securitized assets and interest rate swaps (Note 18) in relation to thresholds set by Mizuho and Barclays at the initiation of each transaction. There were no requirements to post collateral to Mizuho or Barclays as of March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Partnership posted restricted cash as contractually required under the terms of the four TEBS financings. In addition, the Partnership has entered into an interest rate cap agreement to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the variable-rate M31 TEBS financing (Note 18). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the restricted cash associated with the Secured Notes is collateral posted with Mizuho according to the terms the total return swap that has the Secured Notes as the reference security (Note 18).
The Term TOB trust financing with Morgan Stanley is subject to a Trust Agreement and other related agreements that contain covenants with which the Partnership or the underlying MRB are required to comply. The underlying property must maintain certain occupancy and debt service covenants. A termination event will occur if the Partnership’s net assets, as defined, decrease by 25% in one quarter or 35% over one year. The covenants also require the Partnership’s partners’ capital, as defined, to maintain a certain threshold and that the Partnership remain listed on a nationally recognized stock exchange. If the underlying property or the Partnership, as applicable, is out of compliance with any of these covenants, a termination event of the financing facility would be triggered. The Partnership was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2023.
The Partnership’s variable rate debt financing arrangements include maximum interest rate provisions that prevent the debt service on the debt financings from exceeding the cash flows from the underlying securitized assets.

In February 2023, the Partnership made certain structural modifications to the TOB trust financing for Residency at the Entrepreneur MRBs. The only material changes associated with the modifications were the interest on senior securities changed from taxable to tax-exempt and the deleveraging of approximately $800,000 of debt financings. The structural modifications required cash settlement of the initial TOB trust financings and receipt of cash proceeds from the new TOB trust financings. The cash settlements and proceeds are reported on a gross basis in the cash flows from financing activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Deferred financing costs of approximately $584,000 were written off in connection with the modifications.

The total return swap has the Partnership’s Secured Notes with Mizuho as the specified reference security (Note 16), with the total return swap notional amount equal to the outstanding principal on the Secured Notes. The rate received on the total return swap is equal to the interest rate on the Secured Notes such that they offset one another, resulting in a net interest cost equal to the rate paid under the total return swap. Under the total return swap, the Partnership is liable for any decline in the value of the Secured Notes under the ISDA master agreement with Mizuho, when netted with the value of the Partnership's other positions with Mizuho.
The Partnership was required to initially fund cash collateral with Mizuho for the total return swap. The total return swap with a notional amount of $102.6 million initially required the Partnership to maintain cash collateral equal to 35% of the notional amount. In February 2023, the cash collateral requirement was reduced to 30% of the notional amount. In December 2022, the Partnership amended certain terms associated with the remaining total return swap, including an update in the variable rate index from 3-month LIBOR to SOFR. There were no fees associated with the amendments.
Interest Rate Cap Agreement
The Partnership has entered into an interest rate cap agreement to mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk associated with a variable-rate debt financing facility. The following tables summarize the Partnership’s interest rate cap agreement as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

19. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Partnership, from time to time, is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are frequently covered by insurance. If it has been determined that a loss is probable to occur and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated amount of the loss is accrued in the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements. If the Partnership determines that a loss is reasonably possible, the Partnership will, if material, disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate of loss can be made. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Partnership currently believes there are no pending legal proceedings in which the Partnership is currently involved the outcome of which will have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Bond Purchase Commitments
The Partnership may enter into bond purchase commitments related to MRBs to be issued and secured by properties under construction. Upon execution of the bond purchase commitment, the proceeds from the MRBs will be used to pay off the construction related debt. The Partnership bears no construction or stabilization risk during the commitment period. The Partnership accounts for its bond purchase commitments as available-for-sale securities and reports the asset or liability at fair value. Changes in the fair value of bond purchase commitments are recorded as gains or losses on the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The following table summarizes the Partnership’s bond purchase commitments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Bond Purchase Commitments | | Commitment Date | | Maximum Committed Amounts Remaining | | | Interest Rate | | | Estimated Closing Date | | Fair Value as of March 31, 2023 | | | Fair Value as of December 31, 2022 | |

Investment Commitments
The Partnership has remaining commitments to provide additional funding of certain MRBs, taxable MRBs, GILs, taxable GILs, and property loans while the secured properties are under construction or rehabilitation. The Partnership’s remaining non-cancelable commitments for GILs, taxable GILs and property loans are subject to a reserve for credit losses, which was approximately $1.3 million as of March 31, 2023. See Note 13 for additional information on the reserve for credit losses on such commitments. The Partnership also has outstanding commitments to contribute additional equity to unconsolidated entities.

Other Guaranties and Commitments
The Partnership has entered into guaranty agreements with unaffiliated entities under which the Partnership has guaranteed certain obligations of the general partners of certain limited partnerships upon the occurrence of a “repurchase event.” Potential repurchase events include LIHTC tax credit recapture and foreclosure. The Partnership’s maximum exposure is limited to 75% of the equity contributed by the limited partner to each limited partnership. No amount has been accrued for these guaranties because the Partnership believes the likelihood of repurchase events is remote. The following table summarizes the Partnership’s maximum exposure under these guaranty agreements as of March 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | |
Limited Partnership(s) | | End of Guaranty Period | | Partnership's Maximum Exposure as of March 31, 2023 | | |
Ohio Properties | | 2026 | | $ | 2,310,609 | | |
Greens of Pine Glen, LP | | 2027 | | | 1,662,397 | | |
In December 2022, the Partnership sold 100% of its ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property to an unrelated non-profit organization. The buyer assumed two mortgages payable associated with the property and the Partnership agreed to provide certain recourse support for the assumed mortgages. The TIF Loan support is in the form of a payment guaranty. The Mortgage support is in the form of a forward loan purchase agreement upon maturity of the Mortgage. The reported value of the credit guaranties was approximately $358,000 and $363,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included within other liabilities in the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements. No additional contingent liability has been accrued because the likelihood of claims is remote. The following table summarizes the Partnership’s maximum exposure under these credit guaranties as of March 31, 2023:
| | | | | | |
Borrower | | End of Guaranty Period | | Partnership's Maximum Exposure as of March 31, 2023 | |

20. Redeemable Preferred Units
The Partnership has designated three series of non-cumulative, non-voting, non-convertible Preferred Units that represent limited partnership interests in the Partnership consisting of the Series A Preferred Units, the Series A-1 Preferred Units, and the Series B Preferred Units. The Partnership previously issued Series A Preferred Units via a private placement to five financial institutions. In April 2022, October 2022, and February 2023 the Partnership issued Series A-1 Preferred Units in exchange for previously issued Series A Preferred Units. These Series A-1 Preferred Units were issued in a registered offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 6, 2021, and subsequently amended pursuant to a Post-Effective Amendment to the Form S-4, which was declared effective by the Commission on April 13, 2022. In February 2023, the Partnership issued new Series A-1 Preferred Units to a financial institution in a registered offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 9, 2021, and subsequently amended pursuant to a Post-Effective Amendment to the Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Commission on April 13, 2022. The Partnership had not issued any Series B Preferred Units as of March 31, 2023. The Preferred Units have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund requirements, and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by the Partnership or by the holder.
Upon the sixth anniversary of the closing of the sale or issuance of Series A Preferred Units or Series A-1 Preferred Units to a subscriber, and upon each anniversary thereafter, the Partnership and each holder have the right to redeem, in whole or in part, the Series A Preferred Units or Series A-1 Preferred Units held by such holder at a per unit redemption price equal to $10.00 per unit, plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid distributions through the date of the redemption. Each holder desiring to exercise its redemption rights must provide written notice of its intent to so exercise no less than 180 calendar days prior to any such redemption date.
Upon the eighth anniversary of the closing of the sale or issuance of Series B Preferred Units to a subscriber, and upon each anniversary thereafter, the Partnership and each holder have the right to redeem, in whole or in part, the Series B Preferred Units held by such holder at a per unit redemption price equal to $10.00 per unit, plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid distributions through the date of the redemption. Each holder desiring to exercise its redemption rights must provide written notice of its intent to so exercise no less than 180 calendar days prior to any such redemption date.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Partnership, the holders of the Series A Preferred Units, Series A-1 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units are entitled to a liquidation preference in connection with their investments. With respect to anticipated quarterly distributions and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or the winding-up of the Partnership’s affairs, the
45
Series A Preferred Units and Series A-1 Preferred Units will rank: (a) senior to the Partnership's BUCs, the Series B Preferred Units, and to any other class or series of Partnership interests or securities expressly designated as ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Units or Series A-1 Preferred Units; (b) junior to the Partnership's existing indebtedness (including indebtedness outstanding under the Partnership's senior bank credit facility) and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Partnership; and (c) junior to any other class or series of Partnership interests or securities expressly designated as ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Units or Series A-1 Preferred Units. The Series B Preferred Units will rank: (a) senior to the BUCs and to any other class or series of Partnership interests or securities that is not expressly designated as ranking senior or on parity with the Series B Preferred Units; (b) junior to the Series A Preferred Units and Series A-1 Preferred Units and to each other class or series of Partnership interests or securities with terms expressly made senior to the Series B Preferred Units; and (c) junior to all the Partnership's existing indebtedness (including indebtedness outstanding under the Partnership's senior bank credit facility) and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Partnership.

21. Restricted Unit Awards
The Partnership’s Plan permits the grant of restricted units and other awards to the employees of Greystone Manager, the Partnership, or any affiliate of either, and members of the Board of Managers of Greystone Manager for up to 1.0 million BUCs. As of March 31, 2023, there were approximately 376,000 restricted units and other awards available for future issuance. RUAs have historically been granted with vesting conditions ranging from three months to up to three years. Unvested RUAs are typically entitled to receive distributions during the restriction period. The Plan provides for accelerated vesting of the RUAs if there is a change in control related to the Partnership, the General Partner, or the general partner of the General Partner, or upon death or disability of the Plan participant.
The fair value of each RUA is estimated on the grant date based on the Partnership’s exchange-listed closing price of the BUCs. The Partnership recognizes compensation expense for the RUAs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. The compensation expense for RUAs totaled approximately $350,000 and $174,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Compensation expense is reported within “General and administrative expenses” in the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table summarizes the RUA activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Restricted Units Awarded | | | Weighted average Grant-date Fair Value | |
Unvested as of January 1, 2022 | | | 77,523 | | | $ | 18.18 | |
Granted | | | 96,321 | | | | 19.33 | |
Vested | | | (81,073 | ) | | | 18.26 | |
Forfeited | | | (5,437 | ) | | | 18.76 | |
Unvested as of December 31, 2022 | | | 87,334 | | | | 19.33 | |
Granted | | | 102,087 | | | | 17.70 | |
Unvested as of March 31, 2023 | | | 189,421 | | | $ | 18.45 | |
The unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RUAs granted under the Plan was approximately $2.5 million as of March 31, 2023. The remaining compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years. The total intrinsic value of unvested RUAs was approximately $3.3 million as of March 31, 2023.

23. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Current accounting guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides for expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance:
•Defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and
•Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities.
The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Investments in MRBs, Taxable MRBs and Bond Purchase Commitments
The fair value of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs, taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, is based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing services, which are estimates of market prices. There is no active trading market for these securities, and price quotes for the securities are not available. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing services incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. The valuation methodology considers the underlying characteristics of each security as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, illiquidity, legal structure of the borrower, collateral, seniority to other obligations, operating results of the underlying property, geographic location, and property quality. These characteristics are used to estimate an effective yield for each security. The security fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis by applying the effective yield to contractual cash flows. Significant increases (decreases) in the effective yield would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value estimate. Changes in fair value due to an increase or decrease in the effective yield do not impact the Partnership’s cash flows.
The Partnership evaluates pricing data received from the third-party pricing services by evaluating consistency with information from either the third-party pricing services or public sources. The fair value estimates of the MRBs, taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments are based largely on unobservable inputs believed to be used by market participants and requires the use of judgment on the part of the third-party pricing services and the Partnership. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurements of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs, taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments are categorized as Level 3 assets.
49
The range of effective yields and weighted average effective yields of the Partnership’s investments in MRBs, taxable MRBs and bond purchase commitments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Range of Effective Yields | | Weighted Average Effective Yields (1) | |
Security Type | | March 31, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 | | March 31, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
Mortgage revenue bonds (2) | | 2.3% - 7.5% | | 2.6% - 20.3% | | | 4.5 | % | | | 5.1 | % |
Taxable mortgage revenue bonds | | 6.3% - 11.0% | | 6.5% - 11.4% | | | 8.1 | % | | | 7.6 | % |
Bond purchase commitments | | 4.1% | | 4.5% | | | 4.1 | % | | | 4.5 | % |
(1)Weighted by the total principal outstanding of all the respective securities as of the reporting date.
(2)Mortgage revenue bonds excludes the Provision Center 2014-1 MRB for figures as of March 31, 2023 as the proton therapy center securing the MRB was successfully sold out of bankruptcy in July 2022 and we received liquidation proceeds of $3.7 million in January 2023. The valuation as of March 31, 2023 is based on expected additional liquidation proceeds of approximately $930,000 at final liquidation.
Derivative Instruments
The effect of the Partnership’s interest rate swap agreements is to change a variable rate debt obligation to a fixed rate for that portion of the debt equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement. The Partnership uses a third-party pricing service that incorporates commonly used market pricing methods to value the swap positions. The fair value is based on a model that considers observable indices and observable market trades for similar arrangements and therefore the interest rate swaps are categorized as Level 2 assets or liabilities.
The effect of the Partnership’s interest rate cap is to set a cap, or upper limit, subject to performance of the counterparty, on the base rate of interest paid on the Partnership’s variable rate debt financings equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement. The Partnership uses a third-party pricing service to value the cap positions. The inputs into the interest rate cap agreements valuation model include three-month LIBOR rates, unobservable adjustments to account for the SIFMA index, as well as any recent interest rate cap trades with similar terms. The fair value is based on a model with inputs that are not observable and therefore the interest rate cap is categorized as a Level 3 asset.
The effect of the Partnership’s total return swap is to lower the net interest rate related to the Partnership’s Secured Notes equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement. The Partnership uses a third-party pricing service to value the total return swap position and the inputs in the total return swap valuation model include changes in the value of the Secured Notes and the associated changes in value of the underlying assets securing the Secured Notes, accrued and unpaid interest, and any potential gain share amounts. The fair value is based on a model with inputs that are not observable and therefore the total return swaps are categorized as Level 3 assets or liabilities.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Partnership utilized a third-party pricing service to determine the fair value of the Partnership’s GILs, taxable GILs, and construction financing property loans that share a first mortgage lien with the GILs, which is an estimate of their market price. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. The valuation methodology considers the underlying characteristics of the GILs and property loans as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, the progress of construction and operations of the underlying properties, and the financial capacity of guarantors. The valuation methodology also considers the probability that conditions for the execution of forward commitments to purchase the GILs will be met. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurements of the Partnership’s GILs, taxable GIL, and construction financing property loans are categorized as Level 3 assets. The estimated fair value of the GILs and taxable GILs was $322.3 million and $10.1 million as of March 31, 2023, respectively. The estimated fair value of the GILs and taxable GILs was $305.0 million and $6.8 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the construction financing property loans approximated amortized cost as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Partnership utilized a third-party pricing service to determine the fair value of the Partnership’s financial liabilities, which are estimates of market prices. The valuation methodology of the Partnership’s third-party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods. The valuation methodology considers the underlying characteristics of each financial liability as well as other quantitative and qualitative characteristics including, but not limited to, market interest rates, legal structure, seniority to other obligations, operating results of the underlying assets, and asset quality. The financial liability values are then estimated using a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis.

The Partnership evaluates pricing data received from the third-party pricing service, including consideration of current market interest rates, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the underlying collateral, and other information from either the third-party pricing service or public sources. The fair value estimates of these financial liabilities are based largely on unobservable inputs believed to be used by market participants and require the use of judgment on the part of the third-party pricing service and the Partnership. Due to the judgments involved, the fair value measurements of the Partnership’s financial liabilities are categorized as Level 3 liabilities. The TEBS financings are credit enhanced by Freddie Mac. The TOB trust financings are credit enhanced by either Mizuho or Barclays.

24. Segments
As of March 31, 2023, the Partnership had four reportable segments: (1) Affordable Multifamily MRB Investments, (2) Seniors and Skilled Nursing MRB Investments, (3) MF Properties, and (4) Market-Rate Joint Venture Investments. The Partnership separately reports its consolidation and elimination information because it does not allocate certain items to the segments.
Affordable Multifamily MRB Investments Segment
The Affordable Multifamily MRB Investments segment consists of the Partnership’s portfolio of MRBs, GILs, and related property loans that have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for multifamily residential and commercial properties in their market areas. Such MRBs and GILs are held as investments and the related property loans, net of loan loss allowances, are reported as such in the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023, the Partnership reported 77 MRBs and 13 GILs in this segment. As of March 31, 2023, the multifamily residential properties securing the MRBs and GILs contain a total of 11,042 and 2,419 multifamily rental units, respectively. In addition, one MRB (Provision Center 2014-1) was collateralized by commercial real estate prior to a sale of the underlying real estate in July 2022 (Note 6). All “General and administrative expenses” on the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of operations are reported within this segment.
Seniors and Skilled Nursing MRB Investments Segment
The Seniors and Skilled Nursing MRB Investments segment consists of an MRB and a property loan that have been issued to provide acquisition, construction and/or permanent financing for seniors housing and skilled nursing properties. The property loan was redeemed in September 2022. Seniors housing consists of a combination of independent living, assisted living and memory care units. As of March 31, 2023, the property securing the MRB contains a total of 154 seniors housing units.
Market-Rate Joint Venture Investments Segment
The Market-Rate Joint Venture Investments segment consists of the operations of ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, ATAX Freestone Holdings, LLC and ATAX Senior Housing Holdings I, LLC, which make noncontrolling investments in unconsolidated entities for the construction, stabilization, and ultimate sale of market-rate multifamily and seniors properties (Note 9). The Market-Rate Joint Venture Investments segment also includes the consolidated VIE of Vantage at San Marcos (Note 5).
53
MF Properties Segment
The MF Properties segment consists primarily of a student housing residential property held by the Partnership (Note 10). During the time the Partnership holds an interest in an MF Property, any excess cash flow will be available for distribution to the Partnership. As of March 31, 2023, the Partnership owned one MF Property containing a total of 384 rental units. Income tax expense for the Greens Hold Co is reported within this segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, all references to “we,” “us,” and the “Partnership” refer to Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP, its consolidated subsidiaries, and consolidated VIEs for all periods presented. See Note 2 and Note 5 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further disclosure.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions include those used in determining (i) the fair value of MRBs and taxable MRBs; (ii) investment impairments; (iii) impairment of real estate assets; and (iv) allowance for credit losses.
The Partnership’s critical accounting policies and estimates are the same as those described in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for certain policies regarding the allowance for credit losses. The Partnership’s critical accounting policy for allowance for credit losses is as follows:
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, the Partnership adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, and subsequent related amendments (“ASC 326”), which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model establishes a single allowance framework for financial assets carried at amortized cost which reflects an estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of financial assets. The adoption of the ASU 2016-13 requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to Partners’ Capital upon adoption. Additionally, ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced disclosures, included additional disclosures regarding credit quality. The allowance for credit losses is presented as a valuation reserve to the corresponding assets on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Expected credit losses related to non-cancelable unfunded commitments and financial guaranties are accounted for as separate liabilities and are included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption on January 1, 2023, the Partnership recorded a cumulative effect of accounting change of approximately $5.9 million as a direct reduction to Partners’ Capital. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recognized through “Provision for credit losses” on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities, Held-for-Investment Loans and Related Unfunded Commitments
The Partnership estimates allowances for credit losses for its GILs, taxable GILs, property loans and related non-cancelable funding commitments using a Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method loss-rate model, combined with qualitative factors that are sensitive to changes in forecasted economic conditions. The Partnership applies qualitative factors related to risk factors and changes in current economic conditions that may not be adequately reflected in quantitatively derived results, or other relevant factors to ensure the allowance for credit losses reflects the Partnership’s best estimate of current expected credit losses. The WARM method pools assets sharing similar characteristics and utilizes a historical annual charge-off rate which is applied to the outstanding asset balances over the remaining weighted average life of the pool, adjusted for certain qualitative factors to estimate expected credit losses. The Partnership has limited history with its GILs, taxable GILs, and property loans portfolio and has had minimal credit losses to date. As such, the Partnership uses historical annual charge-off data for similar assets from publicly available loan data through the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (“FFEIC”). The Partnership adjusts for current conditions and the impact of qualitative forecasts that are reasonable and supportable. The Partnership assesses qualitative adjustments related to, but not limited to, credit quality changes in the asset portfolio, general economic conditions, changes in the affordable multifamily real estate markets, changes in lending policies and underwriting, and underlying collateral values.
The Partnership will elect to separately evaluate an asset if it no longer shares the same risk characteristics as the respective pool or the specific investment attributes do not lend to analysis with a model-based approach. For collateral-dependent assets when foreclosure is probable, the Partnership will apply a practical expedient to estimate current expected credit losses as the difference between the fair value of collateral and the amortized cost of the asset.
Charge-offs to the allowance for credit losses occur when losses are confirmed through the receipt of cash or other consideration from the completion of a sale, when a modification or restructuring takes place in which the Partnership grants a concession to a borrower or agrees to a discount in full or partial satisfaction of the asset, when the Partnership takes ownership and control of the underlying
56
collateral in full satisfaction of the asset, or when significant collection efforts have ceased and it is highly likely that a loss has been realized.
The Partnership has elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivables related to its GILs, taxable GILs and property loans because uncollectable accrued interest receivable is written off in a timely manner pursuant to policies for placing assets on non-accrual status.
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
The Partnership periodically determines if allowances of credit losses are needed for its MRBs and taxable MRBs under the applicable guidance for available-for-sale debt securities. The Partnership evaluates whether unrealized losses are considered impairments based on various factors including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
•The severity of the decline in fair value;
•The Partnership’s intent to hold and the likelihood of it being required to sell the security before its value recovers;
•Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, its collateral, or both;
•The likelihood of the borrower being able to make scheduled interest and principal payments; and
•Failure of the borrower to make scheduled interest or principal payments.
While the Partnership evaluates all available information, it focuses specifically on whether the estimated fair value of the security is below amortized cost. If the estimated fair value of an MRB is below amortized cost, and the Partnership has the intent to sell or may be required to sell the MRB prior to the time that its value recovers or until maturity, the Partnership will record an impairment through earnings equal to the difference between the MRB’s carrying value and its fair value. If the Partnership does not expect to sell an other-than-temporarily impaired MRB, only the portion of the impairment related to credit losses is recognized through earnings as a provision for credit loss, with the remainder recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. In determining the provision for credit loss, the Partnership compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost basis of the MRB and records any provision for credit losses as an adjustment to the allowance for credit losses. The Partnership has elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivables related to its MRBs and taxable MRBs because uncollectable accrued interest receivable is written off in a timely manner pursuant to policies for placing assets on non-accrual status.
The recognition of an impairment, provision for credit loss, and the potential impairment analysis are subject to a considerable degree of judgment, the results of which, when applied under different conditions or assumptions, could have a material impact on the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements. If the Partnership experiences deterioration in the values of its MRB portfolio, the Partnership may incur impairments or provisions for credit losses that could negatively impact the Partnership’s financial condition, cash flows, and reported earnings. The Partnership periodically reviews any previously impaired MRBs for indications of a recovery of value. If a recovery of value is identified, the Partnership will report the recovery of prior credit losses through its allowance for credit losses as a provision for credit losses (recoveries). For MRB impairment recoveries identified prior to the adoption of the CECL model, the Partnership will accrete the recovery of prior credit losses into investment income over the remaining term of the MRB.
Executive Summary
The Partnership was formed in 1998 primarily for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds (“MRBs”) that are issued by state and local housing authorities to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily, seniors housing and commercial properties. We also invest in governmental issuer loans (“GILs”), which are similar to MRBs, to provide construction financing for affordable multifamily housing properties. We expect and believe the interest received on these MRBs and GILs is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. We also invest in other types of securities and investments that may or may not be secured by real estate and may make property loans to multifamily properties which may or may not be financed by MRBs or GILs held by us and may or may not be secured by real estate.
We also make noncontrolling equity investments in unconsolidated entities (“JV Equity Investments”) for the construction, stabilization, and ultimate sale of market-rate multifamily properties. We are entitled to distributions if, and when, cash is available for distribution either through operations, a refinance or sale of the property. In addition, the Partnership may acquire and hold interests in multifamily, student and senior citizen residential properties (“MF Properties”) until their “highest and best use” can be determined by management.

The Partnership includes the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Partnership, our wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs. All significant transactions and accounts between us and the consolidated VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 2 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.
As of March 31, 2023, we had four reportable segments: (1) Affordable Multifamily MRB Investments, (2) Seniors and Skilled Nursing MRB Investments, (3) Market-Rate Joint Venture Investments and (4) MF Properties. We separately report our consolidation and elimination information because we do not allocate certain items to the segments. All “General and administrative expenses” on the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of operations are reported within the Affordable Multifamily MRB Investments segment. See Notes 2 and 24 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details. The following table presents summary information regarding activity of our segments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Corporate Responsibility
We are committed to corporate responsibility and the importance of developing environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) policies and practices consistent with that commitment. We believe the implementation and maintenance of such policies and practices benefit the employees that serve the Partnership, support long-term performance for our Unitholders, and have a positive impact on society and the environment.
Environmental Responsibility
Achieving environmental and sustainability goals in connection with our affordable housing investment activity is important to us. Opportunities for positive environmental investments are open to us because private activity bond volume cap and LIHTC allocations are key components of the capital structure for most new construction or acquisition/rehabilitation affordable housing properties financed by our MRB and GIL investments. These resources are allocated by individual states to our property sponsors through a competitive application process under a state-specific qualified allocation plan (“QAP”) as required under Section 42 of the IRC. Each state implements its public policy objectives through an application scoring or ranking system that rewards certain property features. Some of the common features rewarded under individual state QAPs are transit amenities (proximity to various forms of public transportation), proximity to public services (parks, libraries, full scale supermarkets, or a senior center), and energy efficiency/sustainability. Some state-specific QAPs have minimum energy efficiency standards that must be met, such as the use of low water need landscaping, Energy Star appliances and hot water heaters, and GREENGUARD Gold certified insulation. Since we can only finance properties with successful applications, we work with our sponsor clients to maximize these environmental features such that their applications can earn the most points possible under the individual state’s QAP. During 2022, properties related to our MRB investments in Residency at the Entrepreneur and Residency at the Empire and our GIL investments in Magnolia Heights, Poppy Grove I, Poppy Grove II, and Poppy Grove III were awarded both private activity bond cap and LIHTC allocations through state-specific QAPs.
In 2021, we acquired an MRB investment secured by Meadow Valley, a to-be-constructed 154-unit seniors housing facility in Traverse City, MI. Part of the construction financing is provided through a Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) program, which is a state policy-enabled financing mechanism that allows developers to access the capital needed to make renewable energy accessible and cost-effective. In the case of Meadow Valley, C-PACE financing of $24.8 million will be provided to finance energy conservation features including high efficiency windows, roof, walls, heating, cooling, indoor and outdoor lighting, water heating and low-flow fixtures. The C-PACE financing is repaid through a property tax assessment over the life of the property. Many lenders are averse to financing properties with C-PACE financing as the tax assessment is a senior obligation of the property. We have developed
58
underwriting procedures that allow for the borrower to obtain C-PACE financing and still meet our security and underwriting requirements. We will continue to evaluate investment opportunities related to properties that utilize C-PACE financing for future investment as we want to encourage our borrowers to utilize clean energy design and construction practices.
The Suites on Paseo MF Property, which is wholly owned by the Partnership, is a LEED Silver Certified property. LEED provides a framework for healthy, efficient, carbon and cost-saving green buildings. To achieve LEED certification, a property earns points by adhering to prerequisites and credits that address carbon, energy, water, waste, transportation, materials, health and indoor environmental quality. In addition, the property has three rooftop solar panel arrays to generate renewable energy for the local power system. Two of the arrays are owned by the local utility provider on roof space leased by the property and the third array is owned by the property.
We are committed to minimizing the overall environmental impact of our corporate operations. The Partnership’s operations are primarily managed by 14 employees of Greystone Manager, so we have a relatively modest environmental impact and have adequate facilities to grow our employee base without acquiring additional physical space.
Social Responsibility
Our MRB and GIL investments directly support the construction, rehabilitation, and stabilized operation of decent, safe, and sanitary affordable multifamily housing across the United States. The development of affordable multifamily housing has relatively broad legislative support at the federal and state levels. Each of the properties securing our MRB and GIL investments is required to maintain a minimum percentage of units set-aside for a combination of extremely low-income (30% of area median income or “AMI”), very low-income (50% of AMI), and low-income (80% of AMI) tenants in accordance with IRC guidelines, and the owners of the properties often agree to exceed the minimum IRC requirements. The rent charged to income qualified tenants at MRB or GIL properties is often restricted to a certain percentage of the tenants’ income, making them more affordable. For any newly originated MRBs or GILs associated with a low-income housing tax credit property, restrictions regarding tenant incomes and rents charged to those low-income households are required. In addition, certain borrowers related to our MRB investments are non-profit entities that provide affordable multifamily housing consistent with their charitable purposes. These properties provide valuable housing and support services to both low-income and market-rate tenants and create housing diversity in the geographic and social communities in which they are located.
The following table summarizes, by investment asset class, the number of residential rental units associated with the affordable multifamily properties financed by the Partnership that have some form of tenant income or rent restrictions as evidenced by a regulatory agreement recorded on the local government land records as of March 31, 2023:

Certain investments may be eligible for regulatory credit under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they exist, including low- and moderate-income (LMI) neighborhoods. See "Community Investments" in this Item 2 below for further information regarding assets of the Partnership the General Partner believes are eligible for regulatory credit under the CRA.
We and Greystone are committed to supporting our workforce. Greystone has implemented evaluation and compensation policies designed to attract, retain, and motivate employees that provide services to the Partnership to achieve superior results. Greystone also provides formal and informal training programs to enhance the skills of employees providing services to the Partnership and to instill Greystone’s corporate policies and practices. We are also committed to ensuring the safety of personnel that work for third-party contractors that perform services at properties that underlie our investment assets. Specifically for properties under construction, we consider the safety record of contractors and monitor safety incidents through reviews of independent construction monitoring reports.
Greystone and the Partnership are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”). Specific Greystone DEI initiatives include formal diversity training and employee resources groups to support a diverse workforce as well as a formal DEI committee and DEI Leadership Council to lead and advise all DEI related work, events, and learning. Of the 14 employees of Greystone Manager responsible for the Partnership’s operations, three are women and one employee identifies as ethnically diverse.
Corporate Governance
59
Greystone Manager, as the general partner of the Partnership’s general partner, is committed to corporate governance that aligns with the interests of our Unitholders and stakeholders. We set high ethical standards for our related employees and partners. We regularly review and update, as appropriate, our policies governing ethical conduct and responsible behavior in order to support our sustainable and continued success. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is applicable to all Greystone personnel that provide services to the Partnership and is available on the Partnership’s website. All employees are required to annually affirm that they have read and understood the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Employees are encouraged to share any ethics or compliance concerns with their supervisors or confidentially through our third-party managed hotline. We maintain a formal compliance policy to investigate ethics or compliance concerns and to protect whistleblowers. Our policy is designed to meet the requirements and standards of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2022 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
The Board of Managers of Greystone Manager brings a diverse set of skills and experiences across industries in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. The composition of the Greystone Manager Board of Managers is in compliance with the NYSE listing rules and SEC rules applicable to the Partnership. All the members of the Audit Committee of Greystone Manager are independent under the applicable SEC and NYSE independence requirements, two of whom qualify as “audit committee financial experts.” Of the six Managers of Greystone Manager, one Manager is female.
The Greystone Manager Board of Managers is highly engaged in the governance and operations of the Partnership. Our non-independent Managers are employees of Greystone that regularly monitor developments in our operating environment and capital markets and discuss such developments with management on a regular basis. One of our Managers is a member of our investment committee that pre-approves all new investments. We regularly monitor and assess risks to achieving our business objectives and such risk assessments are discussed with both the Audit Committee and the full Board of Managers at regularly held meetings and in regular informal discussions. The Audit Committee and Board of Managers have had 100% attendance during 2022 and 2023.

Conditions within the Banking System
In March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank were closed and taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which created significant market disruption and uncertainty for those companies and individual customers who bank with those institutions, and which raised significant concerns regarding the stability of the banking system in the United States, particularly with respect to regional and community banks. We did not hold our cash with, were not borrowing customers of, and did not otherwise bank with Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, or First Republic Bank. Based on publicly available information, the banks we use in connection with our business activities are well capitalized. If the banks and financial institutions at which we hold our cash enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking
61
system and financial markets, our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents may be reduced and such events could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Affordable Multifamily MRB Investments Segment
The Partnership’s primary purpose is to acquire and hold as investments a portfolio of MRBs which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for residential properties and commercial properties in their market areas. We have also invested in taxable MRBs, GILs, taxable GILs and property loans which are included within this segment. All “General and administrative expenses” on the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of operations are reported within this segment.
The following table compares operating results for the Affordable Multifamily MRB Investments segment for the periods indicated (dollar amounts in thousands):

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Total revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to:
•An increase of approximately $3.5 million in interest income from higher GIL investment balances and higher average interest rates;
•An increase of approximately $3.0 million in interest income from recent MRB advances, offset by a decrease of approximately $988,000 in interest income due to MRB redemptions;
•An increase of approximately $2.9 million in other interest income due to additional property loan, taxable MRB and taxable GIL investments and higher average interest rates;
•An increase of approximately $739,000 of other interest income due to increasing interest earned on cash balances; and
•A decrease of approximately $1.9 million in other interest income for payments received on the Ohio Properties and Live 929 Apartments property loans in the first quarter of 2022 that did not recur.
Total interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to:
•An increase of approximately $6.9 million due to higher average interest rates on variable-rate debt financing;
•An increase of approximately $770,000 due to an increase in the average outstanding principal of approximately $246.1 million;
•An increase of approximately $556,000 in amortization of deferred financing costs, which includes approximately $584,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs that were recognized as interest expense upon the redemption of a TOB in February 2023; and
•An increase of approximately $6.0 million due to a decrease in the fair market value of interest rate derivative instruments attributable to declining forward interest rates.
Segment net income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of the following factors:
•The changes in total revenues and total interest expense detailed in the tables below;
•A decrease in the provision for credit losses of $545,000 (it is noted that there was no provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2022 as it was prior to our adoption of the CECL standard effective January 1, 2023. See Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for addition information); and
62
•An increase in general and administrative expenses due to increases of approximately $626,000 in employee compensation related to higher transactional bonuses and higher salaries, approximately $176,000 in restricted unit compensation expense, and approximately $360,000 in administration fees paid to AFCA2 due to greater assets under management.
The following table summarizes the segment’s net interest income, average balances, and related yields earned on interest-earning assets and incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as other income included in total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Operational Matters
The multifamily properties securing our MRBs were all current on contractual debt service payments on our MRBs and we have received no requests for forbearance of contractual debt service payments as of March 31, 2023.
Our sole student housing property securing an MRB, Live 929 Apartments, was 94% occupied as of March 31, 2023, is current on MRB debt service and is currently preleasing for Fall 2023 at a pace ahead of the prior year.
The proton therapy center securing the Provision Center 2014-1 MRB was successfully sold out of bankruptcy in July 2022 and we received partial liquidation proceeds of $3.7 million in January 2023. We expect to recover additional liquidation of proceeds of approximately $930,000 at final liquidation.
Construction and rehabilitation activities continue at properties securing our GILs, taxable GILs and related property loans. Seven of the 13 underlying affordable multifamily properties had commenced leasing operations as of March 31, 2023. To date, these properties have not experienced any material supply chain disruptions for either construction materials or labor or incurred material construction cost overruns.
As many of our GIL investments and certain MRB investments have variable interest rates, we regularly monitor interest costs in comparison to capitalized interest reserves in each property’s development budget, available construction budget contingency balances, and the funding of certain equity commitments by the owners of the underlying properties. Though original development budgets are sized to incorporate potential interest rate increases, the pace of recent interest rate increases has caused actual interest costs during construction to exceed original projections. We have noted that some properties that are complete or nearing completion have incurred interest costs that have exceeded capitalized interest reserves. In such instances, the developer has either reallocated other available reserves and contingencies, deferred their developer fees, or made direct cash payment during construction to ensure all interest is paid and avoid enforcement of our recourse guaranties against the developers and their affiliates. In addition, such projects have developer
64
completion guaranties as well as capital contributed by LIHTC equity investors that will only receive their tax credits upon completion and stabilization of the projects.
Freddie Mac, through a servicer, has forward committed to purchase each GIL at maturity at par if the property has reached stabilization and other conditions are met. The Freddie Mac forward commitment includes a forward committed interest rate that was set at the original closing of the GIL, with many committed rates being well below current market interest rates. Such forward committed rates significantly reduce refinance risk and incentivize borrowers to convert to the Freddie Mac loan to realize interest savings.
Seniors and Skilled Nursing MRB Investments Segment
The Seniors and Skilled Nursing MRB Investments segment provides acquisition, construction and permanent financing for seniors housing and skilled nursing properties. Seniors housing consists of a combination of independent living, assisted living and memory care units.
As of March 31, 2023, we owned one MRB with aggregate outstanding principal of $7.8 million, with an outstanding commitment to provide additional funding of $36.3 million on a draw-down basis during construction. This MRB was issued to finance the construction and stabilization of a combined independent living, assisted living and memory care property in Traverse City, MI, with 154 total units. Furthermore, in 2021 we funded a property loan secured by a skilled nursing facility in Houston, TX, which was redeemed in September 2022.

The decrease in total revenues and segment net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is due to the redemption of the Magnolia Crossing property loan in September 2022. The Meadow Valley property securing our MRB is currently drawing on our investment commitment to fund construction costs.
Market-Rate Joint Venture Investments Segment
The Market-Rate Joint Venture Investments segment consists of our noncontrolling joint venture equity investments in market-rate multifamily properties, also referred to as our investments in unconsolidated entities or JV Equity Investments, and property loans due from market-rate multifamily properties. Our joint venture equity investments are passive in nature. Operational oversight of each property is controlled by our respective joint venture partners according to each respective entity’s operating agreement. All properties are managed by property management companies affiliated with our joint venture partners. Decisions on when to sell an individual property are made by our respective joint venture partners based on their views of the local market conditions and current leasing trends.
An affiliate of our Vantage joint venture partner provides a guaranty of our preferred returns on our Vantage equity investments through a date approximately five years after commencement of construction. We account for our joint venture equity investments using the equity method and recognize our preferred returns during the hold period. Upon the sale of a property, net proceeds will be distributed according to the entity operating agreement. Sales proceeds distributed to us that represent previously unrecognized preferred return and gain on sale are recognized in net income upon receipt. Historically, the majority of our income from our JV Equity Investments is recognized at the time of sale. As a result, we may experience significant income recognition in those quarters when a property is sold and our equity investment is redeemed.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
The decrease in total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to the following:
•A decrease of approximately $1.4 million of investment income related to the sales of Vantage at Murfreesboro in March 2022, Vantage at Westover Hills in May 2022, Vantage at O’Connor in July 2022, Vantage at Stone Creek in January 2023, and Vantage at Coventry in January 2023; and
•An increase of approximately $648,000 in investment income from equity contributed to JV Equity Investments during 2022 and 2023.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is related to our General LOC that is primarily secured by our JV Equity Investments. The increase in interest expense is primarily due a higher variable interest rate on outstanding balances.
The gain on sale of JV Equity Investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily consisted of the following:
•The sale of Vantage at Stone Creek in January 2023 for a gain of approximately $9.1 million; and
•The sale of Vantage at Coventry in January 2023 for a gain of approximately $6.3 million.
The gain on sale of JV Equity Investments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily consisted of the following:
•The sale of Vantage at Murfreesboro in March 2022 for a gain of approximately $16.4 million.
The change in segment net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to the change in total revenues and gains on sales of unconsolidated entities discussed above.
Operational Matters
We have noted no material construction cost overruns to date, despite generally volatile market prices for construction materials, particularly lumber and commodities. In addition, we have noted no material issues in securing materials and labor needed to construct the properties underlying our JV Equity Investments, despite general supply chain constraints noted in the current business environment. The construction loans associated with our JV Equity Investments typically have variable interest rates, so we regularly monitor interest costs in comparison to capitalized interest reserves in each property’s development budget and available construction budget contingency balances. Though original development budgets were sized to incorporate potential interest rate increases, the pace of recent interest rate increases has caused actual interest costs during construction to exceed original projections. We have noted that some properties that are complete or nearing completion have incurred interest costs that have exceeded capitalized interest reserves, but there are either sufficient construction contingencies or the developer has deferred a portion of its developer fees until completion or there are otherwise funds to pay the earned developer fee. Such interest costs overrun may, absent other developments, result in lower returns on our JV Equity Investments.
As of March 31, 2023, the Vantage at Conroe property had stabilized occupancy of 88%. Vantage at Tomball, Vantage at Helotes, and Vantage at Fair Oaks have completed construction, are in the initial leasing phase, and are 85%, 69%, and 10% occupied as of March 31, 2023, respectively.
In February 2023, we executed an $8.2 million commitment for Valage Senior Living Carson Valley, a to-be-constructed seniors housing property in Minden, NV. The structure and terms of this JV Equity Investment are very similar to our Vantage and Freestone JV Equity Investments. The managing member of the property is an experienced seniors housing developer and operator. We believe
66
our initiation of JV Equity Investments for seniors housing properties diversifies the exposure of our portfolio of JV Equity Investment while offering risk-adjusted returns similar to our current portfolio.
We continue to look for other opportunities to deploy capital in this segment. We are evaluating opportunities to expand beyond our traditional multifamily investment footprint in Texas. We are seeking other experienced joint venture partners for potential expansion into other markets, or other asset classes, in order to achieve more scale in this segment.
MF Properties Segment
As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Partnership owned the Suites on Paseo MF Property containing a total of 384 rental units that serve primarily university students. The Partnership also owned The 50/50 MF Property which was sold to an unrelated non-profit organization in December 2022.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
The decrease in total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is primarily due to the sale of the Partnership's ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property in December 2022. Revenues for The 50/50 MF Property were approximately $810,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was partially offset by an increase of approximately $109,000 due to higher rents at the Suites on Paseo.
The decrease in real estate operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is due primarily to the sale of the Partnership's ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property in December 2022. Operating expenses for The 50/50 MF Property were approximately $467,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is due to the sale of the Partnership's ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property in December 2022 and the buyers assumption of debt outstanding at the property. The Suites on Paseo MF Property had no direct debt obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
The improvement in segment net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was due to the changes in total revenue and interest expense described above. Included in segment net income (loss) is depreciation expense of $399,000 and $688,00 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in depreciation expense is primarily due to the sale of the Partnership's ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property in December 2022. Depreciation expense for The 50/50 MF Property was approximately $292,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Operational Matters
In December 2022, we sold 100% of our ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property to an unrelated non-profit organization. We received an unsecured property loan in return upon sale payable from future net cash flows of the property. The buyer assumed two mortgages payable associated with the property and we agreed to provide certain recourse support for the assumed mortgages. As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated The 50/50 MF Property in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of the date of sale. We have deferred a gain on sale of approximately $6.6 million and will recognize the gain upon collection of principal of the unsecured property loan.
The Suites on Paseo MF Property has generated sufficient operating cash flows to meet all operational obligations through March 31, 2023. The Suites on Paseo MF Property, which is adjacent to San Diego State University, was 91% occupied as of March 31, 2023.

(1)Physical occupancy is defined as the total number of units occupied divided by total units at the date of measurement.
(2)Economic occupancy is defined as the net rental income received divided by the maximum amount of rental income to be derived from each property. This statistic is reflective of rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units. Physical occupancy is a point in time measurement while economic occupancy is a measurement over the period presented. Therefore, economic occupancy for a period may exceed the actual occupancy at any point in time.
(3)A property is considered stabilized once it reaches 90% physical occupancy for 90 days and an achievement of 1.15 times debt service coverage ratio on amortizing debt service for a period after construction completion or completion of the rehabilitation.
(4)Prior year occupancy data is not available as the related investment was recently acquired and not owned by the Partnership during the prior year.
(5)The MRB is defeased and as such, the Partnership does not report property occupancy information.
Physical occupancy as of March 31, 2023 decreased slightly from the same period in 2022 due to modest declines across various properties in the portfolio. Economic occupancy for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased slightly from the same period in 2022 in line with the decrease in physical occupancy. A significant property performance decline was noted at Bruton Apartments due to higher than historical bad debt reserve write-offs and decreased physical occupancy. Esperanza at Palo Alto experienced a significant decline in economic occupancy due to increased loss to lease and decreased physical occupancy. We will continue to monitor and discuss property operations with the individual borrowers.
On an overall basis, we noted same-property maximum rental income amounts increased 6.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period 2022, which is higher than historical annual rent increases. Net rental revenue will typically increase similarly though on a lag as rent increases will be realized upon annual lease renewals. This is consistent with our observed increase in same-property net rental revenue of 4.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period 2022. We expect economic occupancy to increase as leases are renewed at higher rates.

JV Equity Investments
We are the noncontrolling equity investor in various unconsolidated entities formed for the purpose of constructing market-rate, multifamily real estate properties. The Partnership determined the JV Equity Investments are VIEs but that the Partnership is not the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Partnership does not report the assets, liabilities and results of operations of these properties on a consolidated basis. The one exception is Vantage at San Marcos, for which the Partnership is deemed the primary beneficiary and reports the entity's assets and liabilities on a consolidated basis. Our JV Equity Investments entitle us to shares of certain cash flows generated by the entities from operations and upon the occurrence of certain capital transactions, such as a refinance or sale. The amounts presented below were obtained from records provided by the property management service providers.

(1)Physical occupancy is defined as the total number of units occupied divided by total units at the date of measurement.
(2)Economic occupancy is defined as the net rental income received divided by the maximum amount of rental income to be derived from each property. This statistic is reflective of rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units. Physical occupancy is a point in time measurement while economic occupancy is a measurement over the period presented. Therefore, economic occupancy for a period may exceed the actual occupancy at any point in time.
The physical occupancy and economic occupancy as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 remained relatively stable as compared to the same period in 2022.

Discussion of Total Revenues and Other Income for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Investment income. The increase in investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was due to the following factors:
•An increase of approximately $3.5 million in interest income from higher GIL investment balances and higher average interest rates;
•An increase $3.1 million in interest income from recent MRB advances, offset by a decrease of approximately $988,000 in interest income due to MRB redemptions;
72
•A decrease of approximately $739,000 of investment income related to JV Equity Investments. This decrease consisted of:
oA decrease of approximately $1.4 million of investment income related to the sales of Vantage at Murfreesboro in March 2022, Vantage at Westover Hills in May 2022, Vantage at O’Connor in July 2022, Vantage at Stone Creek in January 2023, and Vantage at Coventry in January 2023; and
oAn increase of approximately $648,000 in investment income from equity contributed to JV Equity Investments during 2022 and 2023.
Property revenues. The decrease in property revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is primarily due to the sale of the Partnership's ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property in December 2022. Revenues for The 50/50 MF Property were approximately $810,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was partially offset by an increase of approximately $109,000 due to higher rents at the Suites on Paseo.
Other interest income. Other interest income is comprised primarily of interest income on our property loan, taxable MRB, and taxable GIL investments. The increase in other interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was due to the following factors:
•An increase of approximately $2.7 million from higher average property loan, taxable MRB and taxable GIL investment balances of $102.4 million and higher average interest rates;
•An increase of approximately $739,000 of other interest income due to increasing interest earned on cash balances; and
•A decrease of approximately $1.9 million in other interest income for payments received on the Ohio Properties and Live 929 Apartments property loans in the first quarter of 2022 that did not recur.
Gain on sale of investments in unconsolidated entities. The gain on sale of JV Equity Investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily consisted of the following:
•The sale of Vantage at Stone Creek in January 2023 for a gain of approximately $9.1 million; and
•The sale of Vantage at Coventry in January 2023 for a gain of approximately $6.3 million.
The gain on sale of JV Equity Investments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily consisted of the following:
•The sale of Vantage at Murfreesboro in March 2022 for a gain of approximately $16.4 million.

Discussion of Total Expenses for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Real estate operating expenses. Real estate operating expenses are related to MF Properties and are comprised principally of real estate taxes, property insurance, utilities, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, and salaries and related employee expenses of on-site employees. Real estate operating expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to the sale of the Partnership's ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property in December 2022. Operating expenses for The 50/50 MF Property were approximately $467,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Provision for credit losses. The Partnership adopted the CECL standard effective January 1, 2023 and we recorded a cumulative effect of accounting change of approximately $5.9 million directly to Partners’ Capital as of the effective date. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 relates to declining expected credit losses for our portfolio of GIL, taxable GIL and
73
property loan investments and is primarily due to the shortening average remaining life of such investments. There was no provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was prior to the effective date of the CECL standard.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization relate primarily to the MF Properties. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 due primarily to the sale of the Partnership's ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property in December 2022. Depreciation expense for The 50/50 MF Property was approximately $292,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Interest expense. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was due to the following factors:
•An increase of approximately $6.9 million due to higher average interest rates on variable-rate debt financing;
•An increase of approximately $497,000 due to higher average principal outstanding of $221.4 million;
•An increase of approximately $556,000 in amortization of deferred financing costs, which includes approximately $584,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs that were recognized as interest expense upon the redemption of a TOB in February 2023; and
•An increase of approximately $6.0 million due to a decrease in the fair market value of interest rate derivative instruments attributable to declining forward interest rates.
General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to increases of approximately $626,000 in employee compensation related to higher transactional bonuses and higher salaries, approximately $176,000 in restricted unit compensation expense, and approximately $360,000 in administration fees paid to AFCA2 due to greater assets under management.
Discussion of Income Tax Expense for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
A wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, the Greens Hold Co, is a corporation subject to federal and state income tax. The Greens Hold Co owns certain property loans. The Greens Hold Co sold its ownership interest in The 50/50 MF Property to an unrelated non-profit organization in December 2022 and deferred a gain on sale of approximately $6.6 million. There was minimal taxable income for the Greens Hold Co for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Cash Available for Distribution
The Partnership believes that Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) provides relevant information about the Partnership’s operations and is necessary, along with net income, for understanding its operating results. To calculate CAD, the Partnership begins with net income as computed in accordance with GAAP and adjusts for non-cash expenses or income consisting of depreciation expense, amortization expense related to deferred financing costs, amortization of premiums and discounts, fair value adjustments to derivative instruments, provisions for credit and loan losses, impairments on MRBs, GILs, real estate assets and property loans, deferred income tax expense (benefit) and restricted unit compensation expense. The Partnership also deducts Tier 2 income (see Note 3 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements) distributable to the General Partner as defined in the Partnership Agreement and distributions and accretion for the Preferred Units. Net income is the GAAP measure most comparable to CAD. There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and the Partnership’s computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies. Although the Partnership considers CAD to be a useful measure of the Partnership’s operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure that should not be considered as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following table shows the calculation of CAD (and a reconciliation of the Partnership’s net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to CAD) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (all per BUC amounts are presented giving effect to the one-for-three Reverse Unit Split and the BUCs Distributions on a retroactive basis for all periods presented):

(1)The adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflects the change in our allowances for credit losses under the CECL standard that was effective for the Partnership effective January 1, 2023 which requires us to update estimates of expected credit losses for our investments portfolio at each reporting date. The accounting for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was subject to previous accounting guidance that was generally applied incurred loss model rather than expected credit losses. There were no credit losses incurred using prior accounting guidance for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
(2)As described in Note 3 to the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements, Net Interest Income representing contingent interest and Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest (Tier 2 income) will be distributed 75% to the limited partners and BUC holders, as a class, and 25% to the General Partner. This adjustment represents the 25% of Tier 2 income due to the General Partner.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Tier 2 income allocable to the General Partner consisted of approximately $3.8 million related to the gain on sale of Vantage at Stone Creek and Vantage at Coventry in January 2023, offset by a $1.4 million Tier 2 loss allocable to the General Partner related to the Provision Center 2014-1 MRB realized in January 2023 upon receipt of the majority of expected bankruptcy liquidation proceeds. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Tier 2 income allocable to the general partner related to the gain on sale of Vantage at Murfreesboro in March 2022.
(3)The Partnership determined there was a recovery of previously recognized impairment recorded for the Live 929 Apartments Series 2022A MRB prior to the adoption of the CECL standard effective January 1, 2023. The Partnership is accreting the recovery of prior credit loss for this MRB into investment income over the term of the MRB consistent with applicable guidance. The accretion of recovery of value is presented as a reduction to current CAD as the original provision for credit loss was an addback for CAD calculation purposes in the period recognized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continually evaluate our potential sources and uses of liquidity, including current and potential future developments related to market interest rates and the general economic and geopolitical environment. The information below is based on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends, which could materially differ from actual results.
Our short-term liquidity requirements over the next 12 months will be primarily operational expenses, investment commitments net of leverage secured by the investment assets; debt service (principal and interest payments) related to our debt financings; repayments of our secured lines of credit balances; the exercise of redemption rights by the holders of the Series A Preferred Units; and distribution payments to Unitholders. We expect to meet these liquidity requirements primarily using cash on hand, operating cash flows from our investments and an MF Property, and potentially additional debt financing issued in the normal course of business. In addition, we will consider the issuance of additional BUCs, Series A-1 Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, or other series of limited partnership interests in the Partnership based on needs and opportunities for executing our strategy.
Our long-term liquidity requirements will be primarily for maturities of debt financings and mortgages payable; the exercise of redemption rights by the holders of the Series A Preferred Units; and funding and purchase of additional investment assets, net of leverage secured by the investment assets. We expect to meet these liquidity requirements primarily through refinancing of maturing debt financings with the same or similar lenders; contractual principal and interest payments from investments in MRBs, GILs and property loans; and proceeds from asset sales and redemptions. In addition, we will consider the issuance of additional BUCs, Series A-1 Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, or other series of limited partnership interests in the Partnership based on needs and opportunities for executing our strategy.
Sources of Liquidity
The Partnership’s principal sources of liquidity consist of:
•Unrestricted cash on hand;
•Operating cash flows from investments in investment assets;
•Net operating cash flows from our MF Property;
•Secured lines of credit;
•Proceeds from the sale or redemption of assets;
•Proceeds from obtaining additional debt; and
•Issuances of debt securities, BUCs, Series A-1 Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, or other series of limited partnership interests.
Unrestricted Cash on Hand
As of March 31, 2023, we reported unrestricted cash on hand of approximately $52.1 million. There are no contractual restrictions of the Partnership’s ability to use unrestricted cash on hand.
Operating Cash Flows from Investments
Cash flows from operations are primarily comprised of regular principal and interest payments received on our investment assets that provide consistent cash receipts throughout the year. All MRBs, taxable MRBs, GILs, taxable GILs and property loans are current on contractual debt service payments as of March 31, 2023, except for the Provision Center 2014-1 MRB. Investment receipts, net of interest expense on related debt financings and lines of credit, are available for our general use. We also receive distributions from JV Equity Investments if, and when, cash is available for distribution.
Receipt of cash from our investments in MRBs, taxable MRBs, and JV Equity Investments is dependent upon the generation of net cash flows at multifamily properties that underlie these investments. These underlying properties are subject to risks usually associated with direct investments in multifamily real estate, which include (but are not limited to) reduced occupancy, tenant defaults, falling rental rates, and increasing operating expenses.
Receipt of cash from our investments in GILs, taxable GILs, and construction financing and mezzanine property loans is dependent on the availability of funds in the original development budgets. The current rising interest rate environment is resulting in higher interest costs for properties with variable rate construction financing. We regularly monitor capitalized interest costs in comparison to capitalized
76
interest reserves in the property’s development budget, available construction cost contingencies balances, and the funding of certain equity commitments by the owners of the underlying properties. The developers may also make cash payments to pay interest due to avoid claims under their payment and completion guaranties.
Net Operating Cash Flows from our MF Property
Cash flows generated by the Suites on Paseo MF Property, net of operating expenses, are unrestricted for our use. Such cash flows are subject to risk usually associated with direct investments in student multifamily real estate, which include (but are not limited to) reduced occupancy, tenant defaults, falling rental rates, and increasing operating expenses.
Secured Lines of Credit
We maintain a secured line of credit (“General LOC”) with two financial institutions of up to $40.0 million to purchase additional investments and to meet general working capital and liquidity requirements. We may borrow, prepay and reborrow amounts at any time through the maturity date, subject to the limitations of a borrowing base. The aggregate available commitment cannot exceed a borrowing base calculation, which is equal to 40% multiplied by the aggregate value of a pool of eligible encumbered assets. Eligible encumbered assets consist of (i) the net book value of the Suites on Paseo MF Property, and (ii) 100% of our equity capital contributions to Vantage JV Equity Investments, subject to certain limits and restrictions. The General LOC is secured by first priority security interests in our Vantage JV Equity Investments, a mortgage and assignment of leases and rents of the Suites on Paseo MF Property, and a security interest in a bank account at BankUnited, N.A., in which we must maintain a balance of not less than $5.0 million. We are subject to various affirmative and negative covenants that, among others, require us to maintain liquidity of not less than $5.0 million, maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of not less than $100.0 million, and to notify BankUnited, N.A. if our consolidated net worth declines by (a) more than 20% from the immediately preceding quarter, or (b) more than 35% from the date at the end of two consecutive calendar quarters ending immediately thereafter. We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2023. The balance of the General LOC was $6.5 million with the ability to draw an additional $33.5 million as of March 31, 2023. The General LOC has a maturity date of June 2023, with options to extend for up to two additional years.
We maintain a secured non-operating line of credit (“Acquisition LOC”) with a financial institution of up to $50 million. The Acquisition LOC may be used to fund purchases of MRBs, taxable MRBs, or loans issued to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation, or construction of affordable housing or which are otherwise secured by real estate or mortgage-backed securities (i.e., GILs, taxable GILs, and property loans). Advances on the Acquisition LOC are due on the 270th day following the advance date but may be extended for up to an additional 270 days by making certain payments. The Acquisition LOC contains a covenant, among others, that our senior debt will not exceed a specified percentage of the market value of our assets to be consistent with the Leverage Ratio (as defined by the Partnership). We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2023. There was no outstanding balance on the Acquisition LOC and approximately $50.0 million was available as of March 31, 2023. The Acquisition LOC has a maturity date of June 2024, with two one-year extension options, subject to certain terms and conditions.
Proceeds from the Sale or Redemption of Assets
We may, from time to time, sell or redeem our investments in MRBs, GILs, property loans, JV Equity Investments and MF Properties consistent with our strategic plans. Our MRB portfolio is marked at a premium to cost, adjusted for paydowns, primarily due to higher stated interest rates when compared to current market interest rates for similar investments. We may consider selling certain MRB investments in exchange for cash at prices that approximate our currently reported fair value. However, we are contractually prevented from selling the MRB investments included in our TEBS financings.
Our ability to dispose of investment assets on favorable terms is dependent upon several factors including, but not limited to, the number of potential buyers and the availability of credit to such potential buyers to purchase investment assets at prices we consider acceptable. Recent volatility in market interest rates, recent inflation and the potential for an economic recession may negatively impact the potential prices we could realize upon the disposition of our various assets.
The following table summarizes the proceeds from sales of our JV Equity Investments during 2023, inclusive of the return of our initial equity investments:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Property Name | | Location | | Units | | | Month Sold | | Gross Proceeds to the Partnership | |
Vantage at Stone Creek | | Omaha, NE | | | 294 | | | January 2023 | | $ | 14,689,244 | |
Vantage at Coventry | | Omaha, NE | | | 294 | | | January 2023 | | | 13,220,218 | |
| | | | | | | | | $ | 27,909,462 | |
77
In February 2023, the Greens of Pine Glen MRBs and property loans were redeemed. We received approximately $10.9 million of cash proceeds upon redemption of the MRBs and property loan. Related TEBS financing principal of $7.6 million was paid down upon redemption.
Proceeds from Obtaining Additional Debt
We hold certain investments that are not associated with our debt financings, mortgages payable, or secured LOCs. We may obtain leverage for these investments by posting the investments as security. As of March 31, 2023, our primary unleveraged assets were certain MRBs and taxable MRBs with outstanding principal totaling approximately $23.0 million.
Issuances of Debt Securities, BUCs, Series A-1 Preferred Units or Series B Preferred Units
We may, from time to time, issue additional BUCs, Preferred Units, or debt securities, in one or more offerings, at prices or quantities that are consistent with our strategic goals. In December 2022, the Partnership’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (“Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the SEC under which the Partnership may, from time to time, offer and sell BUCs, Preferred Units, or debt securities, in one or more offerings, with a maximum aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. Debt securities issued under the Registration Statement may be senior or subordinate obligations of the Partnership. The Registration Statement will expire in December 2025.
We are currently party to a Capital on DemandTM Sales Agreement to offer and sell, from time to time at market prices on the date of sale, BUCs up to an aggregate offering price of $30 million via an “at the market offering.” As of March 31, 2023, we have not sold any BUCs under this program. We will continue to assess if and when to issue BUCs under this program going forward.
We have two registration statements on Form S-3 covering the offering of Preferred Units that have been declared effective by the SEC. The following table summarizes the Partnership's current Preferred Unit offerings:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Preferred Unit Series | | Initial Registration Effectiveness Date | | Expiration Date | | Unit Offering Price | | | Distribution Rate | | Optional Redemption Date | | Units Available to Issue as of March 31, 2023 | | | Units Issued as of March 31, 2023 | |
Series A-1 | | September 2021 | | September 2024 | | $ | 10.00 | | | 3.00% | | Sixth anniversary | | | 2,700,000 | | (1) | | 800,000 | |
Series B | | September 2021 | | September 2024 | | | 10.00 | | | 3.40% | | Eighth anniversary | | | 10,000,000 | | (2) | | - | |
Total | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 12,700,000 | | | | 800,000 | |
(1)The Partnership is able to issue Series A-1 Preferred Units so long as the aggregate market capitalization of the BUCs, based on the closing price on the trading day prior to issuance of the Series A-1 Preferred Units, is no less than three times the aggregate book value of all Series A Preferred Units and Series A-1 Preferred Units, inclusive of the amount to be issued.
(2)The Partnership is able to issue Series B Preferred Units so long as the aggregate market capitalization of the BUCs, based on the closing price on the trading day prior to issuance of the Series B Preferred Units, is no less than two times the aggregate book value of all Series A Preferred Units, Series A-1 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units, inclusive of the amount to be issued.
In February 2023, we sold 800,000 Series A-1 Preferred Units under the registration statement for the Series A-1 Preferred Units offering referenced in the table above for gross proceeds of $8.0 million.
We may also designate and issue additional series of preferred units representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
Uses of Liquidity
Our principal uses of liquidity consist of:
•General and administrative expenses;
•Investment funding commitments;
•Debt service on debt financings, Secured Notes, mortgages payable, and secured lines of credit;
•Distributions paid to holders of Preferred Units and BUCs;
•Redemptions of Series A Preferred Units; and
•Other contractual obligations.

General and Administrative Expenses
We use cash to pay general and administrative expenses of our operations and real estate operating expenses of our MF Properties. For additional details, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the section captioned “Cash flows from operating activities” in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows set forth in Item 1 of this report. General and administrative expenses are typically paid from unrestricted cash on hand and operating cash flows.
Investment Funding Commitments
Our overall strategy is to invest in quality multifamily properties through the acquisition of MRBs, GILs, property loans and JV Equity Investments in both existing and new markets. We evaluate investment opportunities based on, but not limited to, our market outlook, including general economic conditions, development opportunities and long-term growth potential. Our ability to make future investments is dependent upon identifying suitable acquisition and development opportunities, access to long-term financing sources, and the availability of investment capital. We may commit to fund additional investments on a draw-down or forward basis. The following table summarizes our outstanding investment commitments as of March 31, 2023:

Debt Service on Debt Financings, Secured Notes, Mortgages Payable, and Secured Lines of Credit
Our debt financing arrangements consist of various secured financing transactions to leverage our portfolio of MRB, taxable MRB, GIL, taxable GIL and certain property loan investment assets. The financing arrangements generally involve the securitization of these investment assets into trusts whereby we retain beneficial interests in the trusts that provide us certain rights to the underlying investment assets. The senior securities are sold to unaffiliated parties in exchange for debt proceeds. The senior securities require periodic interest payments that may be fixed or variable, depending on the terms of the arrangement, and scheduled principal payments. We are required to fund any shortfall in principal and interest payable to the senior securities of the TEBS financings in the case of non-payment, forbearance or default of the borrowers’ contractual debt service payments of the related MRBs, up to the value of our residual interests. In the case of forbearance or default on an underlying investment asset in a Term TOB or TOB trust financing, we may be required to fund shortfalls in principal and interest payable to the senior securities, repurchase a portion of the outstanding securities, or repurchase the underlying investment asset and seek alternative financing. We anticipate that cash flows from the securitized investment assets will fund normal, recurring principal and interest payments to the senior securities and all trust-related fees.
Our debt financing arrangements include various fixed and variable debt arrangements. Recent increases in short-term interest rates have resulted in increases in the interest costs associated with our variable debt financing arrangements. We actively manage our portfolio of fixed and variable rate debt financings and our exposure to changes in market interest rates. The following table summarizes our fixed and variable rate debt financings as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | March 31, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |

Total | | | | $ | 1,146,101,042 | | | | | | $ | 1,061,506,394 | | | | |
(1)The securitized assets and related debt financings each have variable interest rates, though the variable rate indices may differ on individual transactions. As such, the Partnership is largely hedged against rising interest rates.
(2)The variable-rate debt financing is hedged through our interest rate swap agreements. Though the variable rate indices may differ, these interest rate swaps have effectively synthetically fixed the interest rate of the related debt financing. See further discussion of our interest rate hedging activities below.
The interest rate paid on our variable debt financings are generally determined by the senior trust certificate remarketing agent as the rate necessary to remarket any senior trust securities tendered by holders thereof for remarketing that week at a price of par. Interest on the senior securities is either taxable or tax-exempt to the holders based on the structure of the TOB financing. The senior securities rate on TOB financings structured as tax-exempt to the senior securities holders are typically correlated to tax-exempt municipal short-term securities indices, such as SIFMA. The senior securities rate on TOB financings structured as taxable to the senior securities holders are typically correlated to taxable short-term securities indices, such as SOFR.
We have hedged a portion of our overall exposure to changes in market interest rates on our variable-rate debt financings through eight interest rate swaps. Our interest rate swaps are subject to monthly settlements whereby we pay a stated fixed rate and our counterparty pays a variable rate equal to the compounded SOFR rate for the settlement period. We are currently a net receiver on our interest rate swaps and received net settlement proceeds totaling $829,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The majority of our variable-rate debt financings that are hedged through interest rate swaps have interest that is tax-exempt to the senior securities holders. In order to account for the differential between our interest rate swaps which are indexed to SOFR (a taxable rate) and our debt financing rate (which is correlated to short-term tax-exempt municipal securities rates), we assume that, over the term of our debt financing, the tax-exempt senior securities interest rate will approximate 70% of the SOFR rate. This assumption aligns with common market assumptions and the historical correlation between taxable and tax-exempt municipal short-term securities rates. However, such ratio may not be accurate in the short term or long term in the future. We apply a 70% conversion ratio when determining the notional amount of our interest rate swaps such that, as an example, a $7.0 million notional amount indexed to SOFR is the equivalent to $10.0 million notional amount for tax-exempt debt financing. As such, the reported amount of variable debt financing in the table above exceeds the stated notional amount of the SOFR-indexed interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2023. The following table summarizes the average stated SOFR-denominated notional amount by year for our existing interest rate swaps (does not consider our assumed 70% ratio of tax-exempt municipal securities rates to SOFR):

2029 | | | 90,194,299 | |
The table above includes two interest rate swaps with a forward starting date in April 2023. These interest rate swaps were executed in October 2022 and March 2023 to hedge variable rate TOB financing costs beginning in April 2023.
We may be required to post collateral if the value of investment assets securitized in TOB trust financings, plus our net exposure on our interest rate derivatives, drops below a threshold level in the aggregate. Though market interest rates were relatively volatile during the first quarter of 2023, we were not subject to any collateral posting requirements during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Continuing volatility in market interest rates and potential deterioration of general economic conditions may cause the value of our investment assets to decline and result in the posting of additional collateral in the future. Our Secured Notes are secured by the cash flows from the residual certificates of our TEBS financings. Interest due on the Secured Notes, net of amounts due to the Partnership on the related total return swap transactions, will be paid from receipts related to the TEBS financing residual certificates. Future receipts of principal related to the TEBS financing residual certificates will be used to pay down the principal of the Secured Notes. The Partnership has guaranteed the payment and performance of the responsibilities under the Secured Notes and related documents.
Our General LOC and Acquisition LOC require monthly interest payments on outstanding balances and certain quarterly commitment fees. Such obligations are paid primarily from operating cash flows. The Acquisition LOC requires principal payments as previously described in this Item 2. The General LOC does not require principal payments until maturity in June 2023 as long as the outstanding principal does not exceed the borrowing base calculation.
The following table summarizes contractual maturities by year for our secured lines of credit, debt financings, and mortgages payable as of March 31, 2023:

When possible, we structure the debt financing maturity dates associated with our GIL, taxable GIL, and property loan investments to match the investment maturity dates such that investment redemption proceeds will paydown the outstanding debt financing.
Distributions Paid to Holders of Preferred Units and BUCs
Distributions to the holders of Series A Preferred Units and Series A-1 Preferred, if declared by the General Partner, are paid quarterly at an annual fixed rate of 3.0%. If the Partnership were to issue Series B Preferred Units, holders of such units will be paid quarterly distributions, if declared by the General Partner, at an annual fixed rate of 3.4%. The Series A Preferred Units, Series A-1 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units are non-cumulative, non-voting and non-convertible.
On March 15, 2023, we announced that the Board of Managers of Greystone Manager, which is the general partner of the General Partner, declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.37 per BUC to unitholders of record on March 31, 2023 and payable on April 28, 2023.
The Partnership and its General Partner continually assess the level of distributions for the Preferred Units and BUCs based on cash available for distribution, financial performance and other factors considered relevant.

Redemptions of Series A Preferred Units
Upon the sixth anniversary of the closing of the sale of Series A Preferred Units to a subscriber, and upon each anniversary thereafter, each holder of Series A Preferred Units has the right to redeem, in whole or in part, the Series A Preferred Units held by such holder at a per unit redemption price equal to $10.00 per unit plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid distributions through the date of the redemption. The next optional redemption dates for the currently outstanding Series A Preferred Units range from August 2023 through March 2024 and the holders must provide notice of the election to redeem no less than 180 days prior to such redemption dates. If the holders of the Series A Preferred Units elect to redeem, we will be required, subject to certain restrictions, to secure funds to redeem from unrestricted cash on hand, proceeds from our General LOC, additional borrowings or through additional capital raising options.
In February 2023, we received notice from a holder of Series A Preferred Units of its intent to redeem 2,000,000 Series A Preferred Units for redemption proceeds of $20.0 million in August 2023. In April 2023, we received notice from a holder of Series A Preferred Units of its intent to redeem 1,000,000 Series A Preferred Units for redemption proceeds of $10.0 million in October 2023.
In July 2021, our registration statement on Form S-4 to register the offering and issuance of up to 9,450,000 of Series A-1 Preferred Units under a shelf registration process was declared effective by the SEC. The Form S-4 was subsequently amended pursuant to a Post-Effective Amendment to the Form S-4, which was declared effective by the Commission on April 13, 2022. Under this offering, the Partnership may issue up to 9,450,000 Series A-1 Preferred Units in exchange for the Partnership’s outstanding Series A Preferred Units. If unitholders elect to exchange Series A Preferred Units for Series A-1 Preferred Units, the new Series A-1 Preferred Units will not be eligible for redemption until the sixth anniversary of the date of the exchange, except in certain limited circumstances.
In February 2023, we issued 700,000 Series A-1 Preferred Units in exchange for 700,000 outstanding Series A Preferred Units, held by a financial institution which was effectuated under the Form S-4 registration statement referenced above. A total of 3,700,000 of Series A Preferred Units have been exchanged for Series A-1 Preferred Units through March 31, 2023. The remaining 2,750,000 of outstanding Series A Preferred Units, exclusive of redemption requests received, are eligible for exchange under the registration statement on Form S-4 through July 2023.
Other Contractual Obligations
We are subject to various guaranty obligations in the normal course of business, and, in most cases, do not anticipate these obligations to result in significant cash payments.
Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we used cash of $4.3 million, which was the net result of $199,000 provided by operating activities, $35.9 million used in investing activities, and $31.4 million provided by financing activities.
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $199,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $9.3 million generated for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change between periods was primarily due to the following factors:
•A decrease of $9.5 million in net income, offset by the $1.1 million adjustment for the gain on sale of unconsolidated entities that is considered cash from investing activities;
•A decrease of $5.2 million of cash related to changes in interest receivable;
•A decrease of $1.7 million related to changes in the preferred return receivable from unconsolidated entities; and
•An increase of $5.9 million related to a reduction in the unrealized gain on interest rate derivatives.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $35.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to cash used of $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change between periods was primarily due to the following factors:
•A decrease of $66.3 million of cash due to less MRB paydowns and redemptions, offset by an increase of $8.7 million of cash due to less MRB acquisitions and draw-down funding;
•A decrease of $3.0 million of cash due to advances on taxable GILs;
•A decrease of $1.0 million of cash due to less proceeds from the sale of investments in unconsolidated entities;
•An decrease of $843,000 of cash due a reduction in return of investments in unconsolidated entities;
83
•An increase of $30.7 million of cash due to less advances on property loans;
•An increase of $15.1 million due to property loan principal payments received;
•An increase of $8.1 million of cash due to less contributions to unconsolidated entities; and
•An increase of $4.5 million of cash due to less taxable MRB acquisitions and draw-down funding.
Cash provided by financing activities totaled $31.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to cash provided of $32.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change between periods was primarily due to the following factors:
•A net decrease of $33.5 million of cash due to an increase in payments on the secured lines of credit;
•A net increase of $21.8 million of cash due to proceeds from debt financing;
•An increase of $8.0 million of cash related to proceeds from the issuance of Series A-1 Preferred Units; and
•An increase of $1.9 million of cash due to lower distributions paid.
We believe our cash balance and cash provided by the sources discussed herein will be sufficient to pay, or refinance, our debt obligations and to meet our liquidity needs over the next 12 months.
Leverage Ratio
We set target constraints for each type of financing utilized by us. Those constraints are dependent upon several factors, including the assets being leveraged, the tenor of the leverage program, whether the financing is subject to mark-to-market collateral calls, and the liquidity and marketability of the financed collateral. We use target constraints for each type of financing to manage to an overall maximum leverage level (the “Leverage Ratio”), as established by the Board of Managers of Greystone Manager. In February 2023, the Board of Managers of Greystone Manager approved an increase in the maximum Leverage Ratio from 75% to 80%. The Board of Managers of Greystone Manager retains the right to change the maximum Leverage Ratio in the future based on the consideration of factors the Board of Managers considers relevant. We calculate our Leverage Ratio as total outstanding debt divided by total assets using cost adjusted for paydowns for MRBs, GILs, property loans, taxable MRBs and taxable GILs, and initial cost for deferred financing costs and real estate assets. As of March 31, 2023, our overall Leverage Ratio was approximately 73%.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held MRB, GIL, taxable MRB, taxable GIL and certain property loan investments that are secured by affordable multifamily and seniors housing properties and one commercial property, which are owned by entities that are not controlled by us. We have no equity interest in these entities and do not guaranty any obligations of these entities.
We have entered into various financial commitments and guaranties. For additional discussions related to commitments and guaranties, see Note 19 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
We do not have any relationships or transactions with persons or entities that derive benefits from their non-independent relationships with us or our related parties, other than those disclosed in Note 22 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The primary components of our market risk as of March 31, 2023 are related to interest rate risk and credit risk. Our exposure to market risks relates primarily to our investments in MRBs, GILs, property loans and our debt financing and mortgages payable. We seek to actively manage these and other risks and to acquire and hold assets that we believe justify bearing those risks, and to maintain capital levels consistent with those risks.
The current rising interest rate environment, the recent inflationary environment, and the risk of a potential recession have contributed to increasing market risk. See the information under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information.
Interest Rate Risk
Volatility in the fixed income markets continued into the first quarter of 2023. The Federal Reserve announced Federal Funds Rate increases totaling 475 basis points during 2022 and through March 31, 2023, and signaled future short term interest rate increases may be needed to combat inflation in the broader economy. In May 2023, the Federal Reserve announced an additional 25 basis point increase in short term interest rates. The Federal Reserve has also stated its intention to reduce its balance sheet of US treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities which may cause further upward pressure on interest rates. Increases in short-term interest rates will generally result in similar increases in the interest cost associated with our variable debt financing arrangements.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental, monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. The nature of our MRB, GIL, and property loan investments and the debt used to finance these investments, exposes us to financial risk due to fluctuations in market interest rates. The majority of our MRB investment bear interest at fixed rates. Our GIL and property loan investments predominantly bear interest at variable rates and all are subject to interest rate floors.
The following table sets forth information regarding the impact on our net interest income assuming various changes in short-term interest rates as of March 31, 2023:

(1)The net interest income change per BUC calculated based on 22,538,878 BUCs outstanding as of March 31, 2023.
The interest rate sensitivity table above (the “Table”) represents the change in interest income from investments, net of interest on debt and settlement payments for interest rate derivatives over the next twelve months, assuming an immediate parallel shift in the SOFR yield curve and the resulting implied forward rates are realized as a component of this shift in the curve. Assumptions include anticipated interest rates; relationships between different interest rate indices such as SOFR, LIBOR and SIFMA; and outstanding investment, debt financing and interest rate derivative positions. The amounts in the table above do not consider any potential non-cash derivative fair value adjustments in determining the net interest income impact or per BUC impact. No assurance can be made that the assumptions included in the Table presented herein will occur or that other events will not occur that will affect the outcomes of the analysis. Furthermore, the results included in the Table assume we do not act to change our sensitivity to the movement in interest rates. As the above information incorporates only those material positions or exposures that existed as of March 31, 2023, it does not consider those
87
exposures or positions that have arisen or could arise after that date. The ultimate economic impact of these market risks will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our risk mitigation strategies at that time and the overall business and economic environment.
We employ leverage to fund the acquisition of many of our fixed income assets. Approximately 77% of our leverage bears interest at short term variable interest rates. Our remaining 23% of leverage has fixed interest rates. Of those assets funded with short term variable rate debt facilities, more than half bear interest at a variable rate as well. While there is some basis risk between the interest cost associated with our debt financing arrangements and the short-term interest rate indices on our variable rate assets, this portion of our portfolio is substantially match funded with rising short term interest rates having a minimal impact on our net interest income.
For those fixed rate assets where we have variable rate funding, hedging instruments such as interest rate caps and interest rate swaps have been utilized to hedge some, but not all, of the potential increases in our funding cost that would result from higher short term interest rates. In some cases, these positions have been hedged to their expected maturity date. In others, a shorter-term hedge has been executed due to uncertainty regarding the time period over which the individual fixed rate asset might be outstanding.
LIBOR and certain other variable rate benchmark indices to which some of our asset and liabilities remain tied, are the subject of recent national, international, and regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. The ICE Benchmark Association, or IBA, intends to cease publication of our relevant U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023. Further, on March 15, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, which includes the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act, was signed into law in the U.S. This legislation establishes a uniform benchmark replacement process for financial contracts that mature after June 30, 2023 which do not contain clearly defined or practicable fallback provisions. The legislation also creates a safe harbor that shields lenders from litigation if they choose to utilize a replacement rate recommended by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the SOFR index as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR. As of March 31, 2023, LIBOR indices are utilized as the variable benchmark rate on one MRB, one taxable MRB, three property loans, and our General LOC. At this time, it is not possible to predict how markets will respond to SOFR or other alternative reference rates as the transition away from USD LIBOR proceeds. Despite the LIBOR transition in various markets, multi-rate environments may persist in the near term as regulators and working groups have suggested market participants adopt alternative reference rates.
For information on our debt financing and interest rate derivatives see Notes 15 and 17, respectively.
Credit Risk
88
Our primary credit risk is the risk of default on our investment in MRBs, GILs and property loans collateralized by multifamily residential, seniors housing and skilled nursing properties. The MRB and GIL investments are not direct obligations of the governmental authorities that issue the MRB or GIL and are not guaranteed by such authorities or any issuer. In addition, the MRB, GIL and the associated property loan investments are non-recourse obligations of the property owner. As a result, the primary sources of principal and interest payments on our MRB, GIL and property loan investments are the net operating cash flows generated by these properties or the net proceeds from a sale or refinance of these properties. Affiliates of the borrowers of our GIL and construction financing property loan investments have full to limited guaranties of construction completion and payment of principal and accrued interest on the GIL and property loan investments, so we may have additional recourse options for these investments.
If a property is unable to sustain net rental revenues at a level necessary to pay current debt service obligations on our MRB, GIL or property loan investments, a default may occur. A property’s ability to generate net operating cash flows is subject to a variety of factors, including rental and occupancy rates of the property and the level of its operating expenses. Occupancy rates and rents are directly affected by the supply of, and demand for, multifamily residential, single-family rentals, seniors housing and skilled nursing properties in the market area where the property is located. This is affected by several factors such as local or national economic conditions, the amount of new apartment construction and the affordability of single-family homes. In addition, factors such as government regulation (e.g. zoning laws and permitting requirements), inflation, real estate and other taxes, labor issues, and natural disasters can affect the economic operations of a multifamily residential property. Rental rates for set-aside units at affordable multifamily properties are typically tied to certain percentages of the area median income. Increases in area median income are not necessarily correlated to inflationary increases in operating expenses. A significant mismatch between area median income growth and increased property operating expenses could negatively impact net operating cash flows available to pay debt service. If AMI declines on a year-over-year basis, rents could need to be reduced.
Certain MRB, GIL, and construction financing property loan investments fund the construction of new affordable multifamily properties and have variable interest rates. Since there are little to no operating cash flows during the construction and lease-up periods for new properties, borrowers utilize capitalized interest reserves to fund debt service prior to stabilization. Increases in market interest rates will cause an increase in debt service costs. If interest rate increases are large enough, such capitalized interest reserves and other budgeted contingencies may be insufficient to pay all debt service through stabilization. Such cost overruns may cause defaults on our construction financing investments if other funding sources are not available to the borrowers or if related guarantors fail to meet their obligations.
89
Defaults on our MRB, GIL, or property loan investments may reduce the amount of future cash available for distribution to Unitholders. In addition, if a property’s net operating cash flow declines, it may affect the market value of the property, which may result in net proceeds from the ultimate sale or refinancing of the property to be insufficient to repay the entire principal balance of our MRB, GIL or property loan investment. In the event of a default, we will have the right to foreclose on the mortgage or deed of trust on the property securing the investment. If we take ownership of the property securing a defaulted MRB or GIL investment, we will be entitled to all net operating cash flows generated by the property and will be subject to risks associated with ownership of multifamily real estate. If such an event occurs, these investments will not provide tax-exempt income. In the event of default, we will likely be required to repay debt secured by our investment using available liquidity or arrange alternative financing, if available, which is likely to be at less favorable terms. Such occurrences will negatively impact our overall available liquidity.
We actively manage the credit risks associated with our MRB, GIL, and property loan investments by performing a complete due diligence and underwriting process of the owners and the properties securing these investments prior to investing. In addition, we carefully monitor the on-going performance of the properties underlying these investments.
Credit risk is also present in the geographical concentration of the properties securing our MRB investments. We have significant geographic concentrations in Texas, California, and South Carolina. The table below summarizes the geographic concentrations in these states as a percentage of the total MRB principal outstanding:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
Texas | | | 35 | % | | | 37 | % |
California | | | 25 | % | | | 26 | % |
South Carolina | | | 22 | % | | | 17 | % |
Mortgage Revenue Bonds Sensitivity Analysis
Third-party pricing services are used to value our MRB investments. The pricing service uses a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity or call analysis which encompasses judgment in its application. The key assumption in the yield to maturity or call analysis is the range of effective yields of the individual MRB investments. The effective yield analysis for each MRB considers the current market yield of similar securities, specific terms of each MRB, and various characteristics of the property collateralizing the MRB such as debt service coverage ratio, loan to value, and other characteristics.
We completed a sensitivity analysis which is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time. The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution. The table below summarizes the sensitivity analysis metrics related to our MRB investments as of March 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Description | | Estimated Fair Value (in 000's) | | | Range of Effective Yields used in Valuation | | Range of Effective Yields if 10% Adverse Applied | | Additional Unrealized Losses with 10% Adverse Change (in 000's) | |
Mortgage Revenue Bonds (1) | | $ | 867,384 | | | 2.3% | - 7.5% | | | 2.5 | % | -8.3% | | $ | 21,250 | |
(1)Mortgage revenue bonds excludes the Provision Center 2014-1 MRB for figures as of March 31, 2023 as the proton therapy center securing the MRB was successfully sold out of bankruptcy in July 2022 and we received liquidation proceeds of $3.7 million in January 2023. The valuation as of March 31, 2023 is based on expected additional liquidation proceeds of approximately $930,000 at final liquidation.
Real Estate Valuation Risk
We own multifamily real estate and our JV Equity Investments fund the construction, stabilization and sale of market-rate multifamily real estate. The realizable property values for such investments are primarily dependent upon the value of a property to prospective buyers at the time of its sale, which may be impacted by, among other factors, the operating results of the property, cap rates, local market conditions and competition, and interest rates on mortgage financing. Operating results of real estate properties may be affected by many factors, such as the number of tenants, the rental and fee rates, operating expenses, the cost of repairs and maintenance, taxes, debt service requirements, competition from other similar multifamily rental properties and general and local economic conditions. In addition, all outstanding financing directly secured by such real estate properties must be repaid upon sale. Lower sales proceeds may prevent us from collecting our accrued preferred return or the return of our original investment equity, which would result in realized losses on our investments.
Reinvestment Risk
MRB investments may have optional call features that may be exercised by either the borrower or the Partnership that are earlier than the contractual maturity These optional call features may be at either par or premiums to par. In addition, our GIL and most property
90
loan investments are prepayable at any time without penalty. Borrowers may choose to redeem our investments if prevailing market interest rates are lower than the interest rate on our investment asset or for other reasons. In order to maintain or grow our investment portfolio size and earnings, we must reinvest repayment proceeds in new assets. New MRB, GIL and property loan investment opportunities may not generate the same returns as our current investments such that our reported operating results may decline over time. In addition, rising interest rates and construction costs could limit the ability of developers to initiate new projects for us to finance with MRB, GIL, and property loan investments.
Similarly, we are subject to reinvestment risk on the return of capital from sales of JV Equity Investments. Our strategy involves making JV Equity Investments for the development, stabilization and sale of market-rate multifamily rental properties. Our initial equity contributions are returned upon sale of the underlying properties, at which time we will look to reinvest the capital into new JV Equity Investments or other investments. Fewer new investment opportunities may result from negative changes in various economic factors and those new investments that we do make may not generate the same returns as our prior investments due to factors including, but not limited to, increasing competition in the development of market-rate multifamily rental properties, rising interest rates and increasing construction costs. We have observed declining availability of credit and tighter credit underwriting standards for banks similar to those that provide construction financing for our JV Equity Investments, which may result in lower loan proceeds and higher rates on construction loans in the near-term such that new investment profitability is negatively impacted or more difficult to originate. Lower returns on new investment opportunities will result in declining operating results over time.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Partnership’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The risk factors affecting the Partnership are described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference herein. There have been no material changes from these previously disclosed risk factors for the three months ended March 31, 2023, except those as follows:
Adverse developments affecting the banking industry, such as actual events or concerns regarding bank failures, liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our current and projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations.
Recent events involving bank failures, reduced or limited liquidity within the banking industry, defaults, non-performance, and other adverse developments affecting financial institutions or other companies within the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors regarding any of these types of events, have recently led to market-wide disruptions and dislocations, and may in the future lead to further liquidity constraints affecting the banking industry. In particular, during 2023, Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank were taken over by the FDIC as receiver. Although we did not have any cash or cash equivalent balances on deposit with Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank or First Republic Bank, and we did not have any borrowing relationships with these banks, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international banking industries could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any decline in available funding or access to our cash and liquidity sources could, among other risks, adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, contractual funding commitments, and other financial obligations. Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above, could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and our current and/or projected business operations, financial condition, and results of operations.
