Financial Highlights
The Partnership reported the following results for the three months ended June 30, 2022:
In June 2022, the Partnership announced that the Board of Managers of Greystone AF Manager LLC declared a cash distribution to the Partnership’s BUC holders of $0.57 per BUC. The distribution consists of a regular quarterly distribution of $0.37 per BUC, a 12% increase from the previous quarterly distribution of $0.33 per BUC, plus a supplemental distribution of $0.20 per BUC. The distribution was paid on July 29, 2022 to BUC holders of record as of the close of trading on June 30, 2022. While the Board has not yet declared any distributions for subsequent quarters, the Partnership currently expects to continue to be in a position to make supplemental distributions, in addition to the regular quarterly distributions, for the remaining quarterly periods in 2022.
Management Remarks
We are extremely pleased with the reported results for the second quarter as we continue to execute on our strategies, said Kenneth C. Rogozinski, the Partnerships Chief Executive Officer. The successful sales of Vantage at Westover Hills in May and Vantage at OConnor in July continue the series of significant returns on our Vantage joint venture equity investments. We also continue to strategically invest in our affordable multifamily and joint venture equity asset classes where we believe we can earn attractive leveraged returns. We also believe our current liquidity position will allow us to capitalize on additional investment opportunities in our pipeline.
Recent Investment and Financing Activity
The Partnership reported the following notable transactions during the second quarter of 2022:
In July 2022, Vantage at OConnor was sold at the direction of its managing member. The Partnership received proceeds totaling $19.4 million upon sale, inclusive of the Partnerships initial investment of $7.4 million, and will recognize a gain on sale of approximately $10.6 million, before settlement of final proceeds and expenses, during the third quarter.
In July 2022, the Partnership executed an amendment to its secured acquisition line of credit facility with Bankers Trust Company that, among other items, extended the maturity date of the facility to June 2024; added two optional one-year extensions, subject to certain conditions and fees; eliminated certain restricted payment provisions; and modified certain financial covenants and events of default to be consistent with the Partnerships other secured financing arrangements.
Investment Portfolio Updates
The Partnership announced the following updates regarding its investment portfolio:
Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
This report refers to Cash Available for Distribution (CAD), which is identified as a non-GAAP financial measure. The Partnership believes CAD provides relevant information about our operations and is necessary, along with net income, for understanding its operating results. Net income is the GAAP measure most comparable to CAD. There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and the Partnerships computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies. Although the Partnership considers CAD to be a useful measure of our operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. See the table at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP and the Partnerships CAD for the periods set forth.

(1) The provision for credit loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 relates to impairment of the Provision Center 2014-1 MRB.
(2) The provision for loan loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 relates to impairment of the Live 929 Apartments property loan.
(3) As described in Note 3 to the Partnerships 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 six months ended June 30, 2022, Tier 2 income allocable to the General Partner consisted of approximately $2.6 million related to the gain on sale of Vantage at Murfreesboro in March 2022 and approximately $190,000 related to the gain on sale of Vantage at Westover Hills in June 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Tier 2 income allocable to the General Partner consisted of approximately $703,000 related to the gain on sale of Vantage at Germantown in March 2021 and approximately $1.4 million related to the gain on sale of Vantage at Powdersville in May 2021.
(4) 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 as of March 31, 2022, which indicated a recovery of value. The Partnership will accrete the recovery of prior credit loss into investment income over the term of the MRB. 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.
(5) The three month period ended June 30, 2022 includes a quarterly distribution of $0.37 per BUC and a supplemental distribution of $0.20 per BUC. The six month period ended June 30, 2022 includes quarterly distributions of $0.70 per BUC and a supplemental distribution of $0.20 per BUC. During 2021, the first and second quarterly distributions were $0.27 and $0.33 per BUC, respectively, for total distributions of $0.60 per BUC for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
