They are sold for 92 cents on the dollar to high net worth individuals or corpoarations. Fed. tax law permits a buyer to take a full dollar off of their taxable income even though they paid a discounted amount on the dollar. Your company accountant is probably aware of this program. The sale of these tax credits creates cash which becomes equity into the project. Buying discounted historic tax credits is not a risk proposition; directly investing in a project always has some degree of risk. Please show this to your com an accountant to see if he/she would be interested in this purchase of historic tax credits. I can be reached at . Thank you. Philip G.
