8.01.  Other Events.
On November 30, 2009, NTS Mortgage
Income Fund (the "Fund") received notice that the Supreme Court of Florida
("Supreme Court") declined to accept jurisdiction and denied a petition for
review of the decision of the District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth
District ("FLDCA5") in the lawsuit captioned,
Lake Forest Master Community
Association, Inc. v. Orlando Lake Forest Joint Venture, et. al.
(the
"Lawsuit").
On August 3, 2007, Orlando Lake Forest
Joint Venture (the "Joint Venture") was served with notice of the Lawsuit in
Seminole County, Florida, by Lake Forest Master Community Association, Inc. (the
"Association"), naming as defendants the Joint Venture, fifty percent (50%) of
which is owned by the Fund, the Fund and certain affiliated entities (the
"Defendants").  The Lawsuit alleges that bridges, roadways, retaining
walls, storm drains and other constructed facilities turned over by the Joint
Venture to the Association in September 2005 had construction defects and
deficiencies.  The alleged estimated value of the purported defects is
approximately $4.5 million.  Defendants have denied the existence of
any material defects or deficiencies and any liability for the
claims.
On May
27, 2008, the trial court issued an order granting a motion for summary judgment
filed by Defendants. On June 20, 2008, the Association filed a notice of appeal
of the order to the FLDCA5.  On April 3, 2009, FLDCA5 reversed the
trial court's summary judgment ruling and remanded the case to the trial
court.  Defendants filed Motions for Rehearing, Rehearing En Banc and
for Certification to the Supreme Court, all of which were denied on June 10,
2009.  Thereafter on June 29, 2009 Defendants filed a Petition with
the Supreme Court seeking a discretionary review of the FLDCA5
decision.  The Supreme Court's denial of Defendants' petition was
issued on November 25, 2009.
Based on
the Supreme Court decision, the Fund in conjunction with the other Defendants
are assessing the various options available to them, but plan to continue to
vigorously defend themselves in the Lawsuit as they believe the claims asserted
are without merit.  It is not possible to predict the outcome of the
Lawsuit at this time.  It is possible, however, the Lawsuit may
materially impact on the Fund's financial condition and its Plan of
Liquidation.
