SCHEDULE L PART IV BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS WITH INTERESTED PERSONS
The Organization has entered into an agreement with Steele Properties Asset Management I LLC which was assigned to Steele Properties Asset Management II LLC (Steele) on May 13, 2010 pursuant to which Steele agreed to assist the Organization with the latter's attempts to identify and acquire low-income housing projects, obtain financing for such acquisitions or any rehabilitations of projects, provide services related to qualification for low-income housing tax credits, and provide asset management services. The fees for such services vary. For example, Steele is entitled to a development fee to the extent allowed by the governmental authority issuing low-income housing tax credits with respect to a particular project on which Steele has secured such credits on the Organization's behalf. Steele is also entitled to an asset management fee equal to 5% of monthly collected gross rental revenues from a project for each month that Steele provides asset management services with respect to such project. Steele is also entitled to a fee of 1% of gross financing obtained by Steele on behalf of the Organization with respect to a particular project. These fees were reviewed in detail and compared against the fees charged by other providers of such services, and the disinterested directors determined that such fees were as good or lower than those charged by other firms providing similar services to other organizations in the Rocky Mountain Region. In certain instances, depending on the circumstances, Steele Properties LLC, the sole member of Steele, may perform development, construction management and/or other services directly with respect to a project, in which case Steele Properties LLC, rather than Steele is paid the fees relating to such services pursuant to the terms of written agreements. The amount of the transaction for Steele is set forth in Form 990, Part VII, Section B. Hud Karshmer, a director of the Organization, is a 33% member in Steele Properties, LLC, which is the sole member of Steele. The above arrangement was approved by the disinterested directors of the Organization, following Mr. Karshmer's recusal from the review of the arrangement and vote to approve or disapprove the arrangement, and all aspects of the Organization's conflict of interest policies were fully complied with. Monroe Group Ltd. serves as the property management company for several projects owned by the Organization or its subsidiaries. Monroe Group Ltd. is paid a fee for managing each project. This fee is based primarily upon a percentage of gross revenues collected from a project, with such percentage established in advance by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and not set by Monroe Group, Ltd. Mr. Karshmer is an employee, but not an owner, of Monroe Group, Ltd. Nevertheless, in keeping with the Organization's policies concerning conflicts of interests, Mr. Karshmer recused himself from any of the Organization's decisions to employ Monroe Group, Ltd. as a property manager. Steele, as the Organization's asset manager, also may engage Monroe Group, Ltd. as the property manager with respect to such projects. Monroe Group, Ltd. is not the only property management company that serves the Organization, but is the only property management company that serves the organization to be disclosed pursuant to Form 990, Part IV, line 28c. The amount of the transaction for Monroe Group, Ltd. is set forth in Form 990, Part VII, Schedule B.
