Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 39, September 25, 2024
(a) Beginning November 1, 1963, all
partnerships, corporations, trusts, joint ventures, associations and other
groups or entities, persons and offerors who were required heretofore since
January 1, 1961 or who hereafter are required by article 23-A of the General
Business Law to file an offering statement under section 352-e thereof, or who
have obtained an exemption therefrom under section 352-g of article 23-A, or
are granted such exemption hereafter, are hereby required to transmit to each
of the then owners of securities of said issuer, who are residents of this
State, at the end of each quarter thereafter of its respective fiscal year, but
not later than 60 days from such date, a statement to be known as a "Source of
Distribution Statement", when such owners have been paid distributions from any
source by such issuer for or during such quarterly period, which shall indicate
clearly to each investor in the manner and form set forth in form SD-1 issued
by the Attorney-General:
(1) Whether or not
any payments of cash to any investors, partners, stockholders, etc., were made
from any of the following sources, and the amounts thereof with full details:
(i) borrowed monies (secured or
unsecured);
(ii) loans or
additional contributions from officers or partners or other principals or
agents thereof;
(iii) proceeds from
the sale, transfer, option, exchange or other disposition (including
involuntary conversion and insurance proceeds) of property or other assets,
contracts, etc. (including monies received as deposit on contracts, returnable
and nonreturnable). In the determination of such "proceeds", deferred payments
and purchase money mortgages should be treated on the basis of accepted
installment accounting principles;
(iv) funds generated from operations, which
funds should be defined to include net income as ascertained through the use of
standard accounting practices adjusted so that depreciation allowances are not
treated as an expense and payment of principal due on debt is deducted.
However, in the case of motels, hotels, nursing homes, furnished apartment
houses and similar properties, personalty recurrently acquired for use in
connection with real property should be deducted as an expense;
(v) monies paid to the issuer by lessees or
other obligors as a result of a transaction where rent or other obligations due
are intended to be made primarily from the operations of a particular property
or properties where the issuer or any principal of the issuer has a material
direct or indirect interest in the lessees or obligors when it is known to the
issuer or principal thereof that all or part of such monies emanated from
sources other than recurrent business earnings of such obligors or lessees in
connection with the operation of the particular property or properties
concerned.
(2) In the
event any payments of distributions were made solely from current or retained
earnings (or similar classifications) for a prior fiscal or calendar year, the
information required by paragraph (1) need not be given. In the determination
of current or retained earnings for this purpose deferred payments and purchase
money mortgages should be treated on the basis of accepted installment
accounting principles.
(3) In the
preparation of the information called for in paragraphs (1) and (2) above it
may be assumed that such payments were made first from current earnings for the
period involved to the extent available; secondly from retained earnings to the
extent available; and thirdly from funds generated from operations to the
extent available. In regard to distributions from sources in excess of funds
generated from operations, the specific sources should be determined.
(4) Whether during the aforesaid period of
time there has been any material default by the issuer in payment of any
mortgage, taxes, interests or other obligation or obligations on secured or
unsecured debt. If not, no express representation need be made.
(5) Whether any reserve set up for a purpose
other than the payment of distributions to investors has been reduced or
terminated by application of funds therein for purposes materially different
from that for which said reserve was established. If not, no express
representation need be made.
(6)
Whether the principal officers or directors of the issuer have received any
notice from any lessee or other person or firm of a material fact which may
substantially affect future distributions. If not, no express representation
need be made.
(7) Whether any loans
or advances have been made to officers, partners, or directors of the issuer
during the reporting period of time, indicating the authority upon which such
monies were disbursed, and the full terms of such loans or advances. If not, no
express representation need be made.
(8) Whether any general partner, officer,
director or other principal has pledged or collateralized any of his stock,
shares or interests in the issuer during the reporting period of time. Any such
general partner, director or other principal shall provide such information to
the issuer not later than 30 days from the end of each quarter of the issuer's
fiscal year. If no such pledge or collateralization has taken place, no express
representation need by made.
