Forward-Looking Statements

This report (including, but not limited to, the information contained in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”) contains forward-looking statements.  All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.  When used, statements which are not historical in nature, including those containing words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  We have based forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.  This report also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data.  This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.  We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this report and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness.  

These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those relating to:

• defaults on the mortgage loans securing our tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and mortgage-backed securities;

• risks associated with investing in multifamily apartments, including changes in business conditions and the general economy;

• changes in short-term interest rates;

• our ability to use borrowings to finance our assets;

• current negative economic and credit market conditions

• changes in government regulations affecting our business; and

• changes in the appropriation amounts received by the Public Housing Authorities from the United States Department of Housing and Development Capital Fund Program which are used by the Public Housing Authorities to make interest and principal payments for the Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts' Certificates.

Other risks, uncertainties and factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the headings “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and in Item 1A of Part II of this document.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

(UNAUDITED)

1.  Basis of Presentation

General

America First Tax Exempt Investors, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed on April 2, 1998, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of acquiring, holding, selling and otherwise dealing with a portfolio of federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential properties.  Interest on these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.  As a result, most of the income earned by the Partnership is exempt from federal income taxes.  The Partnership may also invest in other types of tax-exempt securities that may or may not be secured by real estate and may make taxable property loans secured by multifamily properties which are financed by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership.  The Partnership generally does not seek to acquire direct interests in real property as long term or permanent investments.  The Partnership may, however, acquire real estate securing its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds or taxable mortgage loans through foreclosure in the event of a default.  In addition, the Partnership may acquire interests in multifamily apartment properties (“MF Properties”) in order to position itself for future investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued to finance these properties. The Partnership expects to sell its interest in these MF Properties in connection with the future syndication of low income housing tax credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code ("LIHTCs") or to a tax-exempt organization and to acquire tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds on these properties to provide debt financing to the new owners.

Our general partner is America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two (“AFCA 2” or “General Partner”).  The general partner of AFCA2 is The Burlington Capital Group LLC ("Burlington"). The Partnership has issued Beneficial Unit Certificates (“BUCs”) representing assigned limited partner interests to investors (“unitholders”).  The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2050, unless terminated earlier under provisions of its Agreement of Limited Partnership.

The "Company" refers to the consolidated financial statements reported in this Form 10-Q which include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Partnership, its Consolidated Subsidiaries (defined below) and three entities in which the Partnership does not hold an ownership interest but which own multifamily apartment properties financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership and which are treated as variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which the Partnership has been determined to be the primary beneficiary (the “Consolidated VIEs”). The Consolidated Subsidiaries of the Partnership currently consist of:

• ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to hold tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in order to facilitate the Tax Exempt Bond Securitization (“TEBS”) Financing with Freddie Mac (Note 10).

• Nine multifamily apartments ("MF Properties") which are either wholly or majority owned by subsidiaries of the Partnership.

Stand alone financial information of the Partnership reported in this Form 10-Q includes only the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (hereafter the “Partnership”) without the Consolidated VIEs.  In the Company’s consolidated financial statements, all transactions and accounts between the Partnership, the Consolidated Subsidiaries and the Consolidated VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Partnership does not believe that the consolidation of VIEs for reporting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) affects the Partnership’s status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or the status of unitholders as partners of the Partnership, the treatment of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds on the properties owned by Consolidated VIEs as debt, the tax-exempt nature of the interest payments received on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the properties owned by Consolidated VIEs or the manner in which the Partnership’s income is reported to unitholders on IRS Form K-1.

The unallocated deficit of the Consolidated VIEs is primarily comprised of the accumulated historical net losses of the Consolidated VIEs since the applicable consolidation date. The unallocated deficit of the VIEs and the VIEs' net losses subsequent to that date are not allocated to the General Partner and unitholders as such activity is not contemplated by, or addressed in, the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

7

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared consistently with the 2012 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2013, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.  Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions

The Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership contains provisions for the distribution of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, for the allocation of income or loss from operations and for the allocation of income and loss arising from a repayment, sale, or liquidation of investments.  Income and losses will be allocated to each unitholder on a periodic basis, as determined by the General Partner, based on the number of BUCs held by each unitholder as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is to be made. Distributions of Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds will be made to each unitholder of record on the last day of each distribution period based on the number of BUCs held by each unitholder as of such date. For purposes of the Agreement of Limited Partnership, cash distributions, if any, received by the Partnership from its indirect interest in MF Properties (Note 7) will be included in the Partnership’s Interest Income and cash distributions received by the Partnership from the sale of such properties will be included in the Partnership Residual Proceeds.

Cash distributions are currently made on a quarterly basis but may be made on a monthly or semiannual basis at the election of AFCA 2.  On each distribution date, Net Interest Income is distributed 99% to the unitholders and 1% to AFCA 2 and Net Residual Proceeds are distributed 100% to unitholders except that Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest in an amount equal to 0.9% per annum of the principal amount of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds on a cumulative basis (defined as Net Interest Income (Tier 2) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 2), respectively) are distributed 75% to the unitholders and 25% to AFCA 2.

In June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby four of the MF Properties, Crescent Village, Post Woods (I and II), and Willow Bend apartments in Ohio (the “Ohio Properties”), were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity and in October 2011, the three limited partnerships that own the Ohio Properties admitted two entities that are affiliates of Boston Capital ("BC Partners") as new limited partners as part of a syndication of LIHTCs. The Company acquired 100% of the $18.3 million tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency as part of a plan of financing for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Ohio Properties. The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Ohio Properties were acquired by the Company at par and consisted of two series. The Series A bond had a par value of $14.7 million and bears interest at an annual rate of 7.0%. The Series B bond had a par value of $3.6 million and bears interest at an annual interest rate of 10.0%. Both series of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds mature in June 2050. The BC Partners agreed to contribute equity to these limited partnerships, subject to the Ohio Properties meeting certain debt service coverage ratios specified in the applicable limited partnership agreements. As such, there was not sufficient equity invested at closing by the not-for-profit or BC Partners into the Ohio Properties to allow the Company to recognize a real estate sale.

During the first quarter of 2013, BC Partners contributed $6.5 million of capital into the Ohio Properties which was sufficient to allow the Company to recognize the sale pursuant to the accounting guidance. The Company determined that the approximate $1.8 million gain from the sale of the Ohio Properties was Tier 2 income in 2010, the year in which the Ohio Properties were sold to the unaffiliated not-for-profit. As such, 25% of that gain was distributed to AFCA 2 in 2010 and there was no Tier 2 income reported in 2013 related to the Ohio Properties.

8

The deposit method of accounting for real estate sales required both the deferral of the gain from the real estate sale and also did not allow recognition of the tax-exempt interest payments by the Ohio Properties to the Company between June 2010 and the date of the equity contribution by BC Partners. In conjunction with the recognition of the real estate sale, approximately $3.5 million of tax-exempt interest was recognized within investment income in the first quarter of 2013 which represents the tax-exempt interest payments received from the Ohio Properties between June 2010 and December 2012. In addition, the Partnership reported approximately $1.1 million in taxable note interest income and $250,000 guarantee fee from the general partner of the Ohio Properties during the first quarter of 2013 (Note 9). The deposit method of accounting also deferred the recognition of the sale of the the Ohio Properties and the purchase of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds they secure in the consolidated statement of cash flows. As such, these transactions were recognized in the consolidated statement of cash flows in 2013.

3.  Variable Interest Entities

The Partnership invests in federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential apartments.  The Partnership owns 100% of these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and each bond is secured by a first mortgage on the property.  In certain cases, the Partnership has also made taxable property loans to the property owners which are secured by second mortgages on these properties.  Although each multifamily property financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership is owned by a separate entity in which the Partnership has no equity ownership interest, the debt financing provided by the Partnership creates a variable interest in these ownership entities that may require the Partnership to report the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of these entities on a consolidated basis under GAAP.   

The Partnership determined that five of the entities financed by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership are held by VIEs as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  These VIEs are Ashley Square, Bent Tree, Cross Creek, Fairmont Oaks, and Lake Forest. At December 31, 2012, the Partnership also determined that the Exchange Accommodation Titleholder ("EAT (Maples on 97th)") was also a VIE based on the Qualified Exchange Accommodation Agreement and Master Lease Agreement between the Partnership and EAT (Maples on 97th).

The Partnership does not hold an equity interest in these VIEs and, therefore, the assets of the VIEs cannot be used to settle the general commitments of the Partnership and the Partnership is not responsible for the commitments and liabilities of the VIEs.  The primary risks to the Partnership associated with these VIEs relate to the entities ability to meet debt service obligations to the Partnership and the valuation of the underlying multifamily apartment property which serves as bond collateral.

The following is a discussion of the significant judgments and assumptions made by the Partnership in determining the primary beneficiary of the VIE and, therefore, whether the Partnership must consolidate the VIE.

Consolidated VIEs

In determining the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, the Partnership considers the activities of the VIE which most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance, who has the power to control such activities, the risks which the entities were designed to create, the variability associated with those risks and the interests which absorb such variability.  The Partnership also considers the related party relationship of the entities involved in the VIEs.  It was determined that the Partnership, as part of the related party group, met both of the primary beneficiary criteria and was the most closely associated with the VIEs and; therefore, was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the following VIEs at September 30, 2013: Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, and Lake Forest. The capital structure of Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, and Lake Forest consists of senior debt, subordinated debt, and equity capital.  The senior debt is in the form of a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and accounts for the majority of each VIE's total capital. As the bondholder, the Partnership is entitled to principal and interest payments and has certain protective rights as established by the bond documents.  The equity ownership of the consolidated VIEs is ultimately held by corporations which are owned by four individuals, two of which are related parties.  Additionally, each of these properties is managed by an affiliate of the Partnership, America First Properties Management Company, LLC (“Properties Management”) which is an affiliate of Burlington Capital Group, LLC ("Burlington").

In August 2012, the EAT (Maples on 97th), a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Title Company which owned a multi-family property located in Omaha, Nebraska, executed a Master Lease Agreement and Construction Management Agreement with the Partnership. These two agreements gave the Partnership the rights and obligations to manage this property as well as the rehabilitation during the six month hold period which contractually ended in February 2013. The Partnership determined that it was the primary beneficiary of the EAT (Maples on 97th) and consolidated the EAT as a VIE as of December 31, 2012. Based on the terms of the Master Lease Agreement, the Partnership reported the rental income and related real estate operating expenses for the Maples on 97th property during the six month holding period as an MF Property since it had all the rights and obligations of landlord for the property. In February 2013, title to the Maples on 97th property transferred to the Partnership from the EAT (Maples on 97th) and the property is reported as an MF Property in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013.

Non-Consolidated VIEs

The Company did not consolidate two VIE entities, Ashley Square and Cross Creek as of September 30, 2013 based on its determination of the primary beneficiary of these two VIE entities. As discussed below, while the capital structures of these VIEs resulted in the Partnership holding a majority of the variable interests in these VIEs, the Partnership determined it does not have the power to direct the activities of these VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and, as a result, is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.

Ashley Square –  Ashley Square Housing Cooperative acquired the ownership of the Ashley Square Apartments in December 2008 from Ashley Square LLC through a warranty deed of transfer and an assumption of debt.  This transfer of ownership constituted a reconsideration event as outlined in the consolidation guidance which triggered a re-evaluation of the holders of variable interests to determine the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  The capital structure of the VIE consists of senior debt, subordinated loans and equity capital.  The senior debt is in the form of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds that are 100% owned by the Partnership and account for the majority of the VIE’s total capital.  As the bondholder, the Partnership is entitled to principal and interest payments and has certain protective rights as established by the bond documents.  The VIE is organized as a housing cooperative and the 99% equity owner of this VIE is The Foundation for Affordable Housing (“FAH”), an unaffiliated Nebraska not-for-profit organization.  Additionally, this property is managed by Properties Management.

Cross Creek –  Cross Creek Apartments Holdings LLC is the owner of the Cross Creek Apartments.  On January 1, 2010, Cross Creek Apartment Holdings LLC entered into a new operating agreement and admitted three new members.  These new members committed approximately $2.2 million of capital payable in three installments including $563,000 on January 1, 2010.  The new operating agreement and admission of new owner members constituted a reconsideration event as outlined in the consolidation guidance which triggered a re-evaluation of the holders of variable interests to determine the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  The capital structure of the VIE consists of senior debt, subordinated loans, and equity capital at risk.  The senior debt is in the form of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds that are 100% owned by the Partnership and account for the majority of the VIE’s total capital.  As the bondholder, the Partnership is entitled to principal and interest payments and has certain protective rights as established by the bond documents.  The three newly admitted members of this VIE are each unaffiliated with the Partnership and have contributed significant equity capital to the VIE.  These members collectively control a 99% interest in the VIE.  The other 1% member of this VIE is FAH, which is also unaffiliated with the Partnership.  Additionally, this property is managed by Properties Management.

The following table presents information regarding the carrying value and classification of the assets held by the Partnership as of September 30, 2013, which constitute a variable interest in Ashley Square and Cross Creek.

	Balance Sheet Classification	Carrying Value		Maximum Exposure to Loss
Ashley Square Apartments
Tax Exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond	Bond Investment	$	5,224,000	$	5,224,000
Taxable Property Loan	Other Asset	1,462,000		7,032,123
		$	6,686,000	$	12,256,123
Cross Creek Apartments
Tax Exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond	Bond Investment	$	7,616,316	$	6,033,317
Taxable Property Loans	Other Asset	3,383,615		3,383,615
		$	10,999,931	$	9,416,932

The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are classified on the balance sheet as available for sale investments and are carried at fair value while taxable property loans are presented on the balance sheet as Other assets and are carried at the unpaid principal and interest less any loan loss reserves.  See Note 4 for additional information regarding the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and Note 8 for additional information regarding the taxable property loans.  The maximum exposure to loss for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds is equal to the unpaid principal balance as of September 30, 2013.  The difference between the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond's carrying value and the maximum exposure to loss is a function of the fair value of the bond.  The difference between the taxable property loan's carrying value and the maximum exposure is the value of loan loss reserves that have been previously recorded against the outstanding taxable property loan balances.

(2) Tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by Deutsche Bank in a secured financing transaction, Note 10

In August 2013, the Partnership acquired a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by the Vantage at Harlingen Apartments, a 288 unit multifamily apartment complex located in Harlingen, Texas which is under construction. The Series C bond was purchased for approximately $6.7 million par value, carries a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum, and matures on August 1, 2053. The Partnership also acquired a $1.3 million subordinate taxable bond which is recorded as an Other Asset. The Vantage at Harlingen Apartments has a construction loan with an unrelated bank and the Partnership's tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are second lien borrowings to that construction loan.

Under the terms of a Forward Delivery Bond Purchase Agreement ("Bond Purchase Commitment"), the Partnership has agreed to purchase a new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond between $18,000,000 to $24,692,000 (“Harlingen Series B Bond”) secured by the Vantage at Harlingen apartments which will be delivered by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond issuer once the property meets specific obligations and occupancy rates. The final amount of the Series B Bond will depend on the appraisal of the stabilized property. The Harlingen Series B Bond will have a stated annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and bond proceeds must be used to pay off the construction loan to the bank and all or a portion of the $6.7 million subordinate Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the change in the estimated fair value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $1.8 million.

In July 2013, the limited partner property owner contributed an approximate additional $800,000 of capital into the Greens Property which allowed the Company to recognize a sale of the discontinued operations (Note 9). As such, the Partnership is reporting the approximate $9.1 million fair market value of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds related to the Greens Property as assets for the first time as of September 30, 2013.

In June 2013, the Partnership redeemed its interest in the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond for approximately $21.9 million. This redemption resulted in the realization of approximately $6.5 million in tax-exempt contingent interest income and approximately $4.6 million realized loss on a taxable property loan. The trust indenture for this bond had a waterfall feature which stipulated that all unpaid contingent interest must be paid prior to making payment on any taxable loan between the owner of the bond and the property.

The Partnership, as sole bondholder, previously directed the bond trustee to file a foreclosure action on the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. On February 28, 2013, the court granted Summary Judgment in the bond trustee's favor confirming that the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond is senior to mechanic's liens filed on the property. Subsequently, the court ordered a sale of the Woodland Park property and on April 23, 2013, the Partnership made a bid to purchase the property for the amount of the outstanding principal and interest it is owed. The Partnership's Motion of Confirmation was approved by the court on May 2, 2013. The bond trustee assigned its right to the property to the Partnership on May 8, 2013 and the Partnership received the Sheriff's deed conveying title to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership on May 29, 2013. Woodland Park became an MF Property upon title conveyance (Note 7). The Partnership now has the option of converting the property to a market rate rent execution or maintain it as an affordable rental property.  The Partnership will continue to assess its long-term strategy for the property to maximize its economic value.

In June 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas. The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond purchases are as follows: approximately $5.9 million par value Series A and approximately $2.5 million par value Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (formerly known as ("f/k/a") Dublin Apartments), a 156 unit multifamily apartment complex; approximately $3.1 million Series A and approximately $2.3 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), a 129 unit multifamily apartment complex; and approximately $5.5 million Series A and approximately $1.7 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), a 133 unit multifamily apartment complex. The three Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and mature on August 1, 2050. The three Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on September 1, 2050. The Partnership also acquired approximately $831,000 of taxable mortgage revenue bonds which also carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on September 1, 2050. The Company has determined that the entity which owns the three properties is an unrelated not-for-profit which under the accounting guidance is not subject to applying the VIE consolidation guidance. As a result, the properties' financial statements are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In April 2013, the Partnership acquired the Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by the Renaissance Gateway Apartments, a 208 unit multifamily apartment complex located in New Orleans, Louisiana for approximately $2.9 million par value. In July and September 2013, the Partnership purchased $1.3 million par value Series B and $2.6 million par value Series A, respectively, tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond carries a base interest rate of 12.0% per annum and matures on June 1, 2015. The Series A and Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds carry a base interest rate of 6% and 12% per annum, respectively, maturing on June 1, 2030. This property is undergoing a major rehabilitation and the Partnership has agreed to fund a total of approximately $8.6 million of a Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond during construction which is estimated to be completed on June 30, 2014. Upon completion of construction and stabilization, the approximate $2.9 million Series C bond will be paid back on the earlier of when the property receives its final equity contribution by the limited partner or June 1, 2015. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the change in estimated fair value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $567,000.

During the first quarter of 2013, the BC Partners contributed $6.5 million of capital into the Ohio Properties which allowed the Company to recognize a sale of the discontinued operations (Note 9). As such, the Partnership is reporting the approximate $19.8 million fair market value of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds related to these Ohio Properties as assets for the first time at each quarter end of 2013.

In February 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas. The bond purchases are as follows: approximately $13.8 million par value Series A and approximately $3.2 million par value Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar on the Boulevard, a 344 unit multifamily apartment complex; approximately $9.0 million Series A and approximately $2.0 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar at Chase Hill, a 232 unit multifamily apartment complex; and approximately $8.8 million Series A and approximately $1.7 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by Avistar at the Crest, a 200 unit multifamily apartment complex. The three Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and mature on March 1, 2050. The three Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on April 1, 2050. The Partnership also acquired approximately $804,000 of taxable mortgage revenue bonds which also carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on April 1, 2050. The Company has determined that the entity which owns the three Avistar properties is an unrelated not-for-profit which under the accounting guidance is not subject to applying the VIE consolidation guidance. As a result, the properties' financial statements are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In December 2012, the Partnership purchased a $6,049,000 subordinate tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and a $934,000 subordinate taxable bond both secured by the Vantage at Judson apartments. This property is located in San Antonio, Texas and is currently under construction. Both bonds mature on February 1, 2053 and carry an annual cash interest rate of 9.0% per annum plus allow for an additional 3.0% per annum of interest calculated on the property's cash flows after debt service. The Vantage at Judson apartments has a construction loan with an unrelated bank and the Partnership's tax-exempt mortgage revenue and taxable bonds are second lien borrowings to that construction loan. The property will have 288 units when construction is completed in the spring of 2014.

Under the terms of a Bond Purchase Commitment, the Partnership has agreed to purchase a new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond of between $20,638,000 to $26,687,000 (“Judson Series B Bond”) secured by the Vantage at Judson apartments which will be delivered by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond issuer once the property meets specific obligations and occupancy rates. The final amount of the Series B Bond will depend on the appraisal of the stabilized property. The Judson Series B Bond will have a stated annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and bond proceeds must be used to pay off the construction loan to the Bank and all or a portion of the $6,049,000 subordinate tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. If the property does not meet its specific obligations and required occupancy rate before January 1, 2015, the Partnership has the right to terminate the Bond Purchase Commitment. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the change in estimated fair value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $2.0 million.

In June 2012, the Partnership acquired a $10.0 million par value tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by Arbors at Hickory Ridge Apartments, a 348 unit multifamily apartment complex located in Memphis, Tennessee, which represented 100% of the bond issuance for approximately $10.2 million. In December 2012, the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by Arbors at Hickory Ridge Apartments was restructured to an $11.5 million par value tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond with an annual interest rate of 6.25% per annum and maturity of December 1, 2049. The Partnership then purchased 100% of this bond issuance plus a taxable property loan of approximately $191,000 for a payment of approximately $1,041,000 made at closing.

Valuation - As all of the Company’s investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are classified as available-for-sale securities, they are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values.  Due to the limited market for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, these estimates of fair value do not necessarily represent what the Company would actually receive in a sale of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  There is no active trading market for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and price quotes for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are not generally available.  As of September 30, 2013, all of the Company’s tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds were valued using discounted cash flow and yield to maturity analyses performed by management.  Management’s valuation encompasses judgment in its application.  The key assumption in management’s yield to maturity analysis is the range of effective yields on the individual tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  The effective yield analysis for each tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond considers the current market yield on similar tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds as well as the debt service coverage ratio of each underlying property serving as collateral for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. At September 30, 2013, the range of effective yields on the individual tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds was 6.3% to 9.8% per annum.  At December 31, 2012, the range of effective yields on the individual tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds was 5.7% to 8.4% per annum. Additionally, the Company calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  Assuming a 10% adverse change in the key assumption, the effective yields on the individual tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds would increase to a range of 6.9% to 10.8% per annum and would result in additional unrealized losses on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond portfolio of approximately $16.1 million.  This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time.  The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution.  If available, the general partner may also consider price quotes on similar tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds or other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  Pricing services, broker quotes and management’s analyses provide indicative pricing only.

Unrealized gains or losses on these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to reflect changes in their estimated fair values resulting from market conditions and fluctuations in the present value of the expected cash flows from the underlying properties. As of September 30, 2013, none of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond investments has been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months.  In addition, the Company has the intent and ability to hold the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds until their final maturity.

5. Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates

In July 2012, the Company purchased 100% of the residual participation receipts (“LIFERs”) in tender option bond trusts (“PHC TOB Trusts”) for approximately $16 million. The PHC TOB Trusts own approximately $65.3 million of Public Housing Capital Fund Certificates (“PHC Certificates”) issued by three trusts ("PHC Trusts") sponsored by Deutsche Bank ("DB"). The assets held by the PHC Trusts consist of custodial receipts evidencing loans made to a number of local public housing authorities. Principal and interest on these loans are payable by the respective public housing authorities out of annual appropriations to be made to the public housing authorities by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) under HUD's Capital Fund Program established under Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (the “Capital Fund Program”). The PHC Trusts have a first lien on these annual Capital Fund Program payments to secure the public housing authorities' respective obligations to pay principal and interest on their loans. The loans payable by the public housing authorities are not debts of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America or HUD. Interest payable on the public housing authority debt held by the PHC Trusts is exempt from federal income taxes. The PHC Certificates issued by each of the PHC Trusts have been rated investment grade by Standard & Poor's.

The Company determined that the three PHC TOB trusts are variable interest entities and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of each of the three PHC TOB trusts. As a result, the Company reports the PHC TOB Trusts on a consolidated basis and the senior floating-rate participation interest (“SPEARS”) as debt financing. In determining the primary beneficiary of these specific VIEs, the Company considered who has the power to control the activities of the VIEs which most significantly impact their financial performance, the risks that the entity was designed to create, and how each risk affects the VIE. The indenture for the PHC TOB trusts stipulates that the Company has the sole right to cause the PHC TOB trusts to sell the PHC Certificates. If they were sold, the extent to which the VIEs will be exposed to gains or losses associated with variability in the PHC Certificates' fair value arising from changes in municipal bond market rates therefore would result from decisions made by the Company.

The Company had the following investments in the PHC Certificates on September 30, 2013:

Valuation - As all of the Company’s investments in PHC Certificates are classified as available-for-sale securities, they are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values.  Due to the limited market for the PHC Certificates, these estimates of fair value do not necessarily represent what the Company would actually receive in a sale of the certificates.  The estimates of the fair values of these PHC certificates is based on a yield to maturity analysis which begins with the current market yield rate for a “AAA” rated tax-free municipal bond for a term consistent with the weighted-average life of each of the Public Housing Capital Fund trusts adjusted largely for unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants. Management’s valuation encompasses judgment in its application and pricing as determined by pricing services, when available, is compared to Management's estimates.  The PHC Certificates are AA and BBB rated. The Company has concluded that the PHC Certificates are not other than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2013 as it has the intent and ability to hold this investment until its final maturity.

20

At September 30, 2013, the range of effective yields on the PHC Certificates was 4.2% to 5.4% per annum.  At December 31, 2012, the range of effective yields on the PHC Certificates was 4.6% to 5.9% per annum. Additionally, the Company calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of these PHC Certificates.  Assuming a 10% adverse change in the key assumption, the effective yields on the PHC Certificates would increase to a range of 5.9% to 7.2% per annum and would result in additional unrealized losses on the PHC Certificates of approximately $2.9 million.  This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time.  The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution.  If available, the general partner may also consider other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  Pricing services and management’s analysis provide indicative pricing only.

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the PHC Certificates held in the PHC TOB Trusts on September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

6. Mortgage-Backed Securities ("MBS")

In April 2013, the Company executed a sixth securitization of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS TOB Trusts"). This securitization was of three additional state-issued MBS with a par value of approximately $10.0 million. The Company purchased the LIFERS issued by the MBS TOB Trust for approximately $2.2 million and pledged the LIFERS to the trustee to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Company as the holder of LIFERS.

In January 2013, the Company executed an extension of one of the securitization of MBS TOB Trusts. This extension securitized additional state issued MBS with a par value of approximately $2.5 million. The Company purchased the LIFERS issued by the MBS TOB Trust for approximately $500,000 and pledged the LIFERS to the trustee to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Company as the holder of LIFERS.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company purchased 100% of the LIFERs in five MBS TOB Trusts which securitized state issued MBS with a par value of $31.6 million. The Company purchased the LIFERS issued by the MBS TOB Trust for approximately $6.5 million and pledged the LIFERS to the trustee to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Company as the holder of LIFERS.

Each of the six MBS TOB Trusts issued SPEARS to unaffiliated investors. The SPEARS represent senior interests in the MBS TOB Trusts and have been credit enhanced by DB. The LIFERS entitle the Company to all principal and interest payments received by the MBS TOB Trust on the securitized MBS after payments due to the holders of the SPEARs and trust costs. The SPEARS bear interest at a variable rate based on Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association ("SIFMA").

The Company determined that the six MBS TOB Trusts are variable interest entities and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of each of them. As a result, the Company reports the MBS TOB Trusts on a consolidated basis and the SPEARS as debt financing. In determining the primary beneficiary of these specific VIEs, the Company considered who has the power to control the activities of the VIEs which most significantly impact their financial performance, the risks that the entity was designed to create, and how each risk affects the VIE. The indenture for the MBS TOB Trusts stipulates that the Company has the sole right to cause the MBS TOB Trusts to sell the MBS. If they were sold, the extent to which the MBS TOB Trusts will be exposed to gains or losses associated with variability in the MBS' fair value arising from changes in municipal bond market rates therefore would result from decisions made by the Company. Interest earned on the MBS held by the six MBS TOB Trusts is exempt from federal income taxes.

The carrying value of the Company's MBS as of September 30, 2013 is as follows:

Agency Rating of MBS (1)	Cost adjusted for amortization of premium		Unrealized Gain		Unrealized Loss			Estimated Fair Value
"AAA"	$	23,182,932	$	—	$	(2,596,666	)	$	20,586,266

	$	44,292,716	$	—	$	(5,411,720	)	$	38,880,996

⁽¹⁾MBS are reported based on the lowest rating issued by a Rating Agency, if more than one rating is issued on the security, at the date presented.

The carrying value of the Company's MBS as of December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Agency Rating of MBS (1)	Cost adjusted for amortization of premium		Unrealized Gain		Unrealized Loss			Estimated Fair Value

⁽¹⁾MBS are reported based on the lowest rating issued by a Rating Agency, if more than one rating is issued on the security, at the date presented.

Valuation - The Company values each MBS based upon prices obtained from a third party pricing service, which are indicative of market activity. The valuation methodology of the Company's third party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods, incorporates trading activity observed in the market place, and other data inputs. The methodology also considers the underlying characteristics of each security, which are also observable inputs, including: coupon; maturity date; loan age; reset date; collateral type; geography; and prepayment speeds. Management analyzes pricing data received from the third party pricing service by comparing it to valuation information obtained from at least one other third party pricing service and ensuring they are within a tolerable range of difference which the Company estimates as 7.5%. Management also looks at observations of trading activity observed in the market place when available. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the range of effective yields on the individual MBS was 3.6% to 5.4% per annum.  Additionally, the Company calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of the MBS which is the effective yield on new issuances of similarly rated MBS.  Assuming a 10% adverse change in that key assumption, the effective yields on the MBS would increase to a range of 4.4% to 5.6% per annum and would result in additional unrealized losses on the bond portfolio of approximately $2.0 million.  This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time.  The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution.  Pricing services and management’s analysis provide indicative pricing only. The MBS have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and the Company does not believe the investment is other than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2013.

The MBS are backed by residential mortgage loans and interest payable from the MBS is exempt from federal income taxation. Description of certain terms of the Company's MBS is as follows:

Agency Rating of MBS	Principal Outstanding September 30, 2013	Weighted Average Maturity Date	Weighted Average Coupon Interest Rate
"AAA"	22,710,000	January 14, 2036	4.22	%
"AA"	20,600,000	January 18, 2036	4.00	%

7.  Real Estate Assets

MF Properties

To facilitate its investment strategy of acquiring additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by MF Properties, the Company has acquired through its various subsidiaries 99% limited partner positions in three limited partnerships and 100% member positions in six limited liability companies that own the MF Properties. The financial statements of these properties are consolidated with those of the Company.  The general partners of these partnerships are unaffiliated parties and their 1% ownership interest in these limited partnerships is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as noncontrolling interests. The Company expects each of these MF Properties to eventually be sold either to a not-for-profit entity or in connection with a syndication of LIHTCs. The Company expects to purchase tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by the new property owners as part of the restructuring.

Recent Transactions

The Partnership, as sole bondholder, previously directed the bond trustee to file a foreclosure action on the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. On February 28, 2013, the court granted Summary Judgment in the bond trustee's favor confirming that the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond is senior to mechanic's liens filed on the property. Subsequently, the court ordered a sale of the Woodland Park property and on April 23, 2013, the Partnership made a bid to purchase the property for the amount of the outstanding principal and interest it is owed. The Partnership's Motion of Confirmation was approved by the court on May 2, 2013. The bond trustee assigned its right to the property to the Partnership on May 8, 2013 and the Partnership received the Sheriff's deed conveying title to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership on May 29, 2013. Woodland Park became an MF Property at a net asset value of approximately $15.7 million upon conveyance of title. The Partnership now has the option of (i) requesting the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond issuer to remove the LURA on the property and thereby be free to convert it to 100% market-rate rents or (ii) allow the LURA to remaining in place, maintaining the property as a rent restricted property, and seek to place new tax-exempt financing on the property and acquire the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The Partnership is still assessing its long-term strategy for this property.

In March 2013, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company executed a 35-year ground lease with the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (“Lessor”) with an annual lease payment of $100. The leased property will have a mixed-use development consisting of a 1,605 stall parking garage and 475 bed student housing complex constructed on it. The Lessor will own the parking garage for which it will contribute approximately $16.7 million to its construction. The Company will own the student housing complex (named "The 50/50") and currently estimates that construction will cost approximately $34.0 million. The Company executed a guaranteed maximum price contract with the general contractor for the construction on the mixed-use development. The Company expects to restructure its ownership of The 50/50 into a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond holding after the construction is completed (which is estimated as August 1, 2014) and when the development has a sufficient history of operating results. The Company has secured approximately $29.8 million in financing facilities to cover the majority of the construction costs. The Company has borrowed approximately $1.8 million on this facility as of September 30, 2013 (Notes 11 and 16).

In August 2012, the Company closed on the purchase of the Maples on 97^th property, a 258 unit facility located in Omaha, Nebraska, for a purchase price of approximately $5.5 million through the execution of a Qualified Exchange Accommodation Agreement that assigned the right to acquire and own the Maples on 97^th property to a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Title Company, ("EAT (Maples on 97th)"), for a period not to exceed six months. The Company lent the EAT (Maples on 97th) the necessary funds to purchase the replacement property; there was no other capital within that entity. The EAT (Maples on 97th) then executed a Master Lease Agreement and Construction Management Agreement with the Company. These two agreements gave the Company the rights and obligations to manage the replacement property as well as the rehabilitation during the six month hold period. During this six month holding period, the Partnership completed the majority of the rehabilitation of the property. At December 31, 2012 the EAT (Maples on 97th) was reported as a VIE. In February 2013, title to the Maples on 97th property transferred to the Partnership from the EAT (Maples on 97th) and the property is reported as an MF Property as of September 30, 2013.

8. Other Assets

The Company had the following Other assets as of dates shown:

	September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Taxable property loans receivable	$	15,245,140		$	20,328,927
Less: Loan loss reserves	(10,864,148		)	(18,134,902		)
Deferred financing costs - net	2,735,065			2,764,734
Fair value of derivative contracts	867,643			378,729
Taxable bonds at fair market value	4,139,878			1,524,873
Other assets	1,229,857			1,353,934
Total Other assets	$	13,353,435		$	8,216,295

In addition to the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Company, taxable property loans have been made to the owners of the properties which secure the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and are reported as taxable property loans receivable in Other assets, net of loan loss reserves.  The Company periodically, or as changes in circumstances or operations dictate, evaluates such taxable property loans receivable for impairment.  The value of the underlying property assets is ultimately the most relevant measure of value to support the taxable property loan values.  The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow model in estimating a property fair value.  Discounted cash flow models containing varying assumptions are considered.   The various models may assume multiple revenue and expense scenarios, various capitalization rates and multiple discount rates.  Other information, such as independent appraisals, may be considered in estimating a property fair value.  If the estimated fair value of the property after deducting the amortized cost basis of any senior tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond exceeds the principal balance of the taxable property loan then no potential loss is indicated and no loan loss reserve for taxable property loans is needed. In estimating the property valuation, the most significant assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model remained the same as discussed in the Form 10-K and include revenue and expense projections and capitalization rates.

26

In August 2013, the Partnership acquired a Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and a forward contract to support the construction of Vantage at Harlingen Apartments in Harlingen, Texas. In conjunction with this contract, the Partnership acquired an approximate $1.3 million taxable mortgage revenue bond which carries a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and matures on August 1, 2053. This taxable mortgage revenue bond is reported as part of the Taxable bonds at fair value in Other assets. Please see the Fair Value Measurements footnote (footnote 15) for the detailed description of the fair value estimation process for the taxable mortgage bonds.

The Partnership received the Sheriff's deed conveying title of Woodland Park to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership on May 29, 2013. Woodland Park is now reported as an MF Property and the fully allowed taxable property loan was written off (Note 7).

In June 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas, Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), and Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments). The Partnership also acquired approximately $831,000 of taxable mortgage revenue bonds which carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on September 1, 2050. These are reported as part of the Taxable bonds at fair value in Other assets.

In February 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, and Avistar at the Crest. The Partnership also acquired approximately $804,000 of taxable mortgage revenue bonds which carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on April 1, 2050. These are reported as part of the Taxable bonds at fair value in Other assets.

During the first nine months of 2013, the Partnership advanced additional funds to Ashley Square, Cross Creek, the Greens Property and the Ohio Properties of approximately $164,000, $168,000, $26,000 and $44,000, respectively. Due to the recognized sale of the Ohio and Greens Properties, the taxable property loans receivable with the Ohio and Greens Properties are no longer eliminated upon consolidation (Note 9). During the first nine months of 2013, the Partnership recorded loan loss reserves equal to the accrued interest on the Ashley Square, Cross Creek, Greens and the Ohio Properties taxable property loans receivable because the Partnership has determined they are not reasonably assured. The Partnership also reserved against the $168,000 advanced to the Cross Creek property in 2013 based on the quarterly impairment analysis.

In June 2013, the Partnership redeemed its interest in the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond for approximately $21.9 million. This redemption resulted in the realization of approximately $6.5 million in tax-exempt contingent interest income and approximately $4.6 million realized loss on taxable property loans.

The following is a summary of the taxable property loans receivable, accrued interest and loan loss reserves on the amounts due at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively:

9.  Discontinued Operations

In June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby the Ohio Properties were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity and in October 2011, the three limited partnerships that own the Ohio Properties admitted two entities that are affiliates of BC Partners as new limited partners as part of a syndication of LIHTCs. The BC Partners agreed to contribute equity to these limited partnerships, subject to the Ohio Properties meeting certain debt service coverage ratios specified in the applicable limited partnership agreements. As such, there was not sufficient equity invested at closing by the not-for-profit or BC Partners into the Ohio Properties to allow the Company to recognize a real estate sale for accounting purposes. During the first quarter of 2013, BC Partners contributed $6.5 million of capital into the Ohio Properties which was sufficient to allow the Company to recognize the sale for accounting purposes. This gain on sale of discontinued operations was approximately $1.8 million. The sale of this discontinued operation allowed the Company to begin reporting the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds related to the Ohio Properties as assets beginning with the March 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements.

The deposit method of accounting for real estate sales required both the deferral of the gain from the real estate sale and also did not allow recognition of the tax-exempt interest payments by the Ohio Properties to the Company between June 2010 and the date of the equity contribution by BC Partners. In conjunction with the recognition of the real estate sale, approximately $3.5 million of tax-exempt interest has been recognized within investment income in the first nine months of 2013 which represents the tax-exempt interest payments received from the Ohio Properties between June 2010 and December 2012. In addition, the Partnership reported approximately $1.1 million in taxable note interest income received from the Ohio Properties and $250,000 guarantee fee from the general partner of the Ohio Properties during the first quarter of 2013 (Note 2). The Ohio Properties contributed approximately $142,000 and $400,000 to income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

In October 2012, the limited partnership that owns the Greens Property admitted two entities that are affiliates of BC Partners as new limited partners as part of a syndication of LIHTCs on the Greens Property. Prior to the execution of the admittance of the new limited partners, the Company had entered into an agreement to sell the Greens Property for approximately $7.3 million to an unaffiliated not-for-profit which is the general partner of the limited partnership that now owns the Greens Property.  That sale was conditional on securing the tax-exempt bond and low-income housing tax credits from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency.  The $961,000 BC Partners equity contribution made into this limited partnership in October 2012 was not sufficient to allow the Company to recognize a real estate sale for accounting purposes. In July 2013, BC Partners made their required $800,000 capital contribution into the Greens Property as construction was 75% complete.

The Company purchased 100% of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued as part of the agreement to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Greens Property. The Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond has approximately $8.5 million par value and bear interest at 6.5% per annum. The Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond has a $950,000 par value and bears interest at 12.0% per annum. Both series of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds mature in October 1, 2047. The Company also obtained an $850,000 taxable property loan secured by the Greens Property at closing. 

28

The July 2013 equity payment provided sufficient invested equity to recognize a real estate sale for accounting purposes and the Company recorded the sale of this discontinued operation. This gain on sale of discontinued operations was approximately $1.4 million. The deposit method of accounting for real estate sales required both the deferral of the gain from the real estate sale and also did not allow recognition of the tax-exempt interest payments by the Greens Property to the Company between October 2012 and the July 2013, the date of the second equity contribution by BC Partners. In conjunction with the recognition of the real estate sale, approximately $523,000 of tax-exempt interest has been recognized within investment income in the third quarter of 2013 which represents the tax-exempt interest payments received from the Greens Property between October 2012 and July 31, 2013. The net fixed assets and total assets of the Greens Property were approximately $12.2 million at December 31, 2012. The Greens Property contributed a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $59,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and an approximately $6,000 in income for three months ended September 30, 2012, and approximately $265,000 and $32,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Eagle Ridge property was sold in November 2012 and resulted in the property being reported as a discontinued operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. As such, there were no assets of the Eagle Ridge property reported as discontinued operations at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. Eagle Ridge contributed approximately $40,000 and $106,000 to income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The Commons at Churchland property was sold in August 2012 which resulted in the property being reported as a discontinued operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. As such, there were no assets of the Churchland property reported as discontinued operations at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. Churchland contributed approximately $62,000 and $198,000 to income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

There were no assets and liabilities of discontinued operations to report at September 30, 2013. The following represents the components of the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations at December 31, 2012.

10.  Debt Financing

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company reported outstanding debt financing of approximately $226.6 million and approximately $177.9 million, respectively, under separate credit facilities.

Other Financings

In March 2013, the Partnership obtained a $10.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit.

On September 30, 2013, the Partnership reported an approximate $7.5 million balance at an approximate 3.5% interest rate. This line of credit is utilized to help with short-term working capital needs and to fund new investments during the periods of time that Company is working with its lender to finalize new TOB financings of assets.

In February 2013, the Partnership obtained a debt facility secured by the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond with total available borrowings of up to $6.0 million. Any borrowed amount carried a fixed interest rate of 5.0% per annum and matured on February 25, 2014. On June 29, 2013 the Partnership retired this debt facility.

In July 2011, the Company executed a Master Trust Agreement with DB which allows the Company to execute multiple Tender Option Bond ("TOB Trust") structures upon the approval and agreement of terms by DB. Under each TOB Trust structure issued through the Master Trust Agreement, the TOB trustee issues SPEARS and LIFERS. Theses SPEARS and LIFERS represent beneficial interests in the securitized asset held by the TOB trustee. The Company will purchase the LIFERS from each of these TOB Trusts which will grant them certain rights to the securitized assets. The Master Trust Agreement with DB has covenants with which the Company is required to maintain compliance. At September 30, 2013, the most restrictive covenant was that cash available to distribute for the trailing twelve months must be at least two times trailing twelve month interest expense. The Company was in compliance with all of these covenants as of September 30, 2013. If the Company were to be out of compliance with any of these covenants, it would trigger a termination event of the financing facilities. The Company expects to renew each of the TOB financing facilities for another one year term at its discretion per the terms of the agreements. DB can require the posting of cash collateral under the terms of the Master Trust Agreement.

In June 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, and Avistar at the Crest Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The amount borrowed was $20.0 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA. The facility matures in June 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the variable rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately 0.4% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.5%. The outstanding balance remains at $20.0 million on September 30, 2013.

In March 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Arbors at Hickory Ridge tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The amount borrowed was $7.0 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA maturing in February 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the variable rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately .5% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.6%. The outstanding balance remains at $7.0 million on September 30, 2013.

In February 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Greens Property tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The amount borrowed was approximately $5.8 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA maturing in December 2013. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the variable rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately .5% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.6%. The outstanding balance was $5.7 million on September 30, 2013.

In the fourth quarter of 2012 through the second quarter of 2013, the Company purchased the LIFERS issued by the trustee over six additional TOB Trusts. The LIFERS entitle the Company to all principal and interest payments received by these TOB Trusts on the mortgage-backed securities after payments due to the holders of the SPEARS and trust costs ("MBS TOB Trusts"). The SPEARS represent senior interests in the MBS TOB Trusts and some have been credit enhanced by DB. The Company reports the MBS TOB Trusts on a consolidated basis as it has determined it is the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities (Note 6). A summary of the six MBS TOB Trusts are as follows:

• During fourth quarter of 2012, the Company purchased approximately $6.5 million of LIFERS from securitized MBS TOB Trusts with a par value of approximately $31.6 million of MBS. The MBS TOB Trusts also issued SPEARS of approximately $25.1 million to unaffiliated investors. The approximate outstanding amount at September 30, 2013 is $24.5 million which mature in April 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately .9% per annum and the variable rate paid on the SPEARS of approximately .4% is tied to SIFMA which results in the total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.3%.

• In January 2013, the Company purchased an additional $540,000 of LIFERS from one of the five MBS TOB Trusts which is a securitization of MBS with a par value of $2.5 million. SPEARS of approximately $2.0 million were issued by the MBS TOB Trust which is currently outstanding at September 30, 2013. This MBS TOB Trust matures in April 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately .9% per annum and the variable rate paid on the SPEARS of approximately .3% is tied to SIFMA which results in the total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.2%.

• In April 2013, the Company purchased approximately $2.2 million of LIFERS issued by a new MBS TOB Trust which is the securitization of MBS with a par value of approximately $10.0 million. The MBS TOB Trusts issued SPEARS of approximately $7.8 million to unaffiliated investors which is the outstanding amount at September 30, 2013. This facility matures in February 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately .9% per annum and the variable rate paid on the SPEARS of approximately .3% is tied to SIFMA which results in the total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.2%.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company has posted approximately $4.2 million of cash collateral in connection with the six MBS TOB Trusts. This collateral is recorded as restricted cash in the consolidated financial statements.

31

In July 2012, the Company purchased the PHC Certificate LIFERS issued by the PHC TOB Trusts for approximately $16.0 million and pledged the LIFERS to the trustee to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Company as the holder of LIFERS. The Company is consolidating the PHC TOB Trust as it has determined it is the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities. The PHC TOB Trusts issued SPEARS of approximately $49.0 million to unaffiliated investors. The SPEARS represent senior interests in the PHC TOB Trusts and have been credit enhanced by DB. The LIFERS entitle the Company to all principal and interest payments received by the PHC TOB Trusts on the $65.3 million of PHC Certificates held by it after payments due to the holders of the SPEARS and trust costs. The amount owed to the SPEARS owners is approximately $49.0 million at September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company hast posted approximately $349,000 of cash collateral in connection with one of the PHC TOB Trusts which is recorded as restricted cash.

The Company is accounting for these TOB Trust financing transactions as secured financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2013, the total cost of borrowing averaged approximately 2.3% and 1.0%, on the PHC TOB Trusts and MBS TOB Trusts, respectively.

TEBS Financing

As of September 1, 2010, the Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiary ATAX TEBS I, LLC, entered into a number of agreements relating to a new long-term debt financing facility provided through the securitization of thirteen tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the ATAX TEBS I, LLC (the “Sponsor”) pursuant to the TEBS Financing. The TEBS Financing essentially provides the Partnership with a long-term variable-rate debt facility at interest rates reflecting prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates.

Effective September 1, 2010, the Partnership transferred the following tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds to ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity controlled by the Partnership pursuant to the TEBS Financing. The par value of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds included in this financing facility as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Total	$	122,835,514	$	124,648,502

(1) Collateralized by Crescent Village, Postwoods, and Willow Bend (Note 2 and Note 9)

The securitization of these assets occurred through two classes of certificates. The Class A TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of $95.8 million and were sold through a placement agent to unaffiliated investors. The Class B TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of $20.3 million and were retained by the Sponsor. The holders of the Class A TEBS Certificates are entitled to receive regular payments of interest from Freddie Mac at a variable rate which resets periodically based on the weekly SIFMA floating index rate plus certain credit, facility, remarketing and servicing fees (the “Facility Fees”). The total Facility Fees are 1.9% per annum, and as of September 30, 2013, the SIFMA rate was equal to approximately 0.1% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.0% on the outstanding balance on the TEBS Financing facility of $93.3 million. The TEBS Financing and the associated TEBS Trust are presented as secured financings within the consolidated financial statements.

32

The term of the TEBS Financing coincides with the terms of the assets securing the TEBS Certificates, except that the Partnership may terminate the TEBS Financing at its option on either September 15, 2017 or September 15, 2020. Should the Partnership not elect to terminate the TEBS Financing on these dates, the full term of the TEBS Financing runs through the final principal payment date associated with the securitized tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, or July 15, 2050.

The Company’s debt financing as of September 30, 2013 contractually matures over the next five years and thereafter as follows: 

2013	$	6,000,000
2014	128,673,000
2015	1,139,000
2016	1,192,000
2017	89,565,000
Thereafter	—
Total	$	226,569,000

The Company expects to renew each TOB financing facility for another one year term when it matures in 2013 as it has the discretion to renew for another one year period per the terms of the agreement with DB.

In September 2013, the Partnership executed a $7.0 million promissory note related to the Woodland Park property. This promissory note carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.8% per annum plus 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") which was approximately .2%, resulting in approximately 3.0% at the date of closing and September 30, 2013. The Partnership has borrowed approximately $6.0 million as of September 30, 2013.

In April 2013, the Company executed an interest-only loan to borrow up to $25.5 million for a three year term at a variable interest rate secured by the student housing complex in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Company also secured a $4.3 million tax-incremental financing loan which is for a term of five years, carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 4.7% per annum, requires principal payments commencing after 24 months and has a balloon payment due at maturity. The Company has borrowed approximately $1.8 million on the three year term facility as of September 30, 2013 (Notes 7 and 16).

In February 2013, the Partnership obtained a $7.5 million loan secured by the Maples on 97th property. This loan is with an unrelated third party and carries a fixed annual interest rate of approximately 3.6% per annum through June 30, 2013 switching to approximately 4.4% per annum beginning on July 1, 2013, maturing on February 10, 2016.

12.  Transactions with Related Parties

The general partner of the Partnership, AFCA 2, is entitled to receive an administrative fee from the Partnership equal to 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of any of its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, taxable property loans collateralized by real property, and other tax-exempt investments for which the owner of the financed property or other third party is not obligated to pay such administrative fee directly to AFCA 2. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership paid or accrued administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $388,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Partnership paid or accrued administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $265,000 and $643,000, respectively. In addition to the administrative fees paid directly by the Partnership, AFCA 2 receives administrative fees directly from the owners of properties financed by certain of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership.  These administrative fees also equal 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and totaled approximately $33,000 and $99,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, these fees totaled approximately $33,000 and $100,000, respectively.

AFCA 2 earns mortgage placement fees in connection with the acquisition of certain tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  These mortgage placement fees were paid by the owners of the respective properties and, accordingly, have not been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements because these properties are not considered VIEs.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, AFCA 2 earned mortgage placement fees of approximately $338,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. In June 2012 the Company executed an investment placement agreement with AFCA 2 in connection with the Company's acquisition of the PHC Certificates investment (Note 5). AFCA 2 received a fee of approximately $653,000 from the Company in connection with this agreement which was paid in July 2012. The Company executed a separate investment placement agreement with AFCA 2 in connection with the Company's acquisition of the Arbors at Hickory Ridge tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond during the second quarter of 2012. In connection with that agreement, AFCA 2 received an origination fee of $100,000. These fees have been recorded into the cost basis of the PHC Certificates and tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and are being amortized against interest income on an effective yield basis. Both of these fees are consistent with the mortgage placement fees that AFCA 2 has earned previously in connection with the acquisition of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds by the Company.

An affiliate of AFCA 2, America First Properties Management Company, LLC (“Properties Management”) provided property management services for the eight MF Properties, the three Consolidated VIEs and six of the properties collateralized by the tax-exempt revenue bonds, earning management fees of approximately $300,000 and $907,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Properties Management provided property management services for seven MF Properties, the three VIEs, the six properties classified as discontinued operations and four of the properties collateralized by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, earning management fees of approximately $288,000 and $879,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  These property management fees are not Partnership expenses, but are paid in each case by the owner of the multifamily apartment property.  For properties owned by entities treated as Consolidated VIEs and for MF Properties, the property management fees are reflected as real estate operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The property management fees are paid out of the revenues generated by all properties financed by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and taxable mortgages prior to the payment of debt service on the Partnership’s tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and taxable property loans.

The Partnership executed a Developer and Construction Management Agreement with two affiliates of AFCA 2 during the second quarter of 2013 in connection with the mixed-use development at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (Note 7). These affiliates received approximately $588,000 in the first nine months of 2013 under the terms of this Agreement.

Two of the owners of the limited-purpose corporations which own three of the Consolidated VIEs held by the Company are employees of Burlington who are not involved in the operation or management of the Company and who are not executive officers or managers of Burlington.

13. Issuances of Additional Beneficial Unit Certificates

In May 2012, the Partnership issued an additional 12,650,000 BUCs through an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $5.06 per BUC pursuant to a then existing Registration Statement on Form S-3. Net proceeds realized by the Partnership from this issuance of these BUCs were approximately $60 million after payment of an underwriter's discount and other offering costs of approximately $4.0 million.

34

14.  Interest Rate Derivative Agreements

As of September 30, 2013, the Company has four derivative agreements in order to mitigate its exposure to increases in interest rates on its variable-rate debt financing. The terms of the derivative agreements are as follows:

Date Purchased	Notional Amount		Effective Capped Rate		Maturity Date	Purchase Price		Counterparty
September 2, 2010	$	31,936,667	3.00	%	September 1, 2017	$	921,000	Bank of New York Mellon
September 2, 2010	$	31,936,667	3.00	%	September 1, 2017	$	845,600	Barclays Bank PLC
September 2, 2010	$	31,936,667	3.00	%	September 1, 2017	$	928,000	Royal Bank of Canada
August 15, 2013	$	93,305,000	1.50	%	September 1, 2017	$	793,000	Deutsche Bank

On July 30, 2013, the Company purchased a new interest rate derivative with a notional amount of $93.3 million which represents the amount outstanding on the TEBS financing facility at August 1, 2013.  The maturity date of this interest rate derivative is September 1, 2017 and the effective capped interest rate is 1.5%.  On July 30, 2013, the Company also sold a new interest rate derivative to the same counterparty which had the same notional amount of $93.3 million and an effective capped interest rate of 3.0%.  The total cost of these two interest rate derivatives was approximately $800,000 and the derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, therefore, changes in the estimated fair value of the interest rate derivatives are included in earnings.  This interest rate corridor transaction effectively reduced the capped interest rate from 3.0% to 1.5% on the TEBS financing facility through the maturity date of the interest rate derivative contracts.

These interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense. The change in the fair value of these derivative contracts resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $440,000 and $304,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The change in the fair value of these derivative contracts resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $275,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

15.   Fair Value Measurements

Current accounting guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides for expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  The guidance:

• Defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and

• Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

35

Investments in Tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds.  The fair values of the Company’s investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds have each been based on a discounted cash flow or yield to maturity analysis. The Company uses this same valuation methodology to estimate the fair value market adjustment for its mortgage bond purchase commitments. There is no active trading market for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and price quotes for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are not available.  If available, the General Partner may also consider price quotes on similar tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds or other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  The estimates of the fair values of these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, whether estimated by the Company or based on external sources, are based largely on unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants.  Additionally, the calculation methodology used by the external sources and the Company encompasses the use of judgment in its application. To validate changes in the fair value of the Company's investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds between reporting periods, management looks at the key inputs such as changes in the current market yields on similar bonds as well as changes in the operating performance of the underlying property serving as collateral for each bond. We validate that the changes in the estimated fair value of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds move with the changes in these monitored factors. Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds is categorized as a Level 3 input. The approximately $4.9 million estimated fair market value adjustment - mortgage bond purchase commitment liability is also categorized as a Level 3 input. This unrealized loss was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Investment in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates. The fair value of the Company’s investment in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates has been based on a yield to maturity analysis performed by the General Partner. There is no active trading market for the trusts' certificates owned by the Company but the General Partner will look at estimated values as determined by pricing services when available. The estimates of the fair values of these trusts' certificates begin with the current market yield rate for a “AAA” rated tax-free municipal bond for a term consistent with the weighted-average life of each of the Public Housing Capital Fund trusts adjusted largely for unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants. Additionally, the calculation methodology used by external pricing services and the Company encompasses the use of judgment in its application. We validate that the changes in the estimated fair value of Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates move with the changes in the market yield rates of investment grade rated tax-exempt municipal bonds with similar length of terms. Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates is categorized as a Level 3 input.

Investment in Mortgage-Backed Securities. The fair value of the Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities is based upon prices obtained from a third party pricing service, which are indicative of market activity. The valuation methodology of the Company's third party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods, incorporates trading activity observed in the market place, and other data inputs. The methodology also considers the underlying characteristics of each security, which are also observable inputs, including: coupon; maturity date; loan age; reset date; collateral type; geography; and prepayment speeds. Management analyzes pricing data received from the third party pricing service by comparing it to valuation information obtained from at least one other third party pricing service and ensuring they are within a tolerable range of difference which the Company estimates as 7.5%. Management also looks at observations of trading activity observed in the market place when available. Given these facts, the fair value measurements of the Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities are categorized as Level 2 inputs.

Taxable bonds. The fair values of the Company’s investments in taxable bonds have each been based on a discounted cash flow or yield to maturity analysis. There is no active trading market for the taxable bonds and price quotes are not available. The estimates of the fair values of these taxable bonds, whether estimated by the Company or based on external sources, are based largely on unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants.  Additionally, the calculation methodology used by the external sources and the Company encompasses the use of judgment in its application. To validate changes in the fair value of the Company's investments in taxable bonds between reporting periods, management looks at the key inputs such as changes in the current market yields on similar bonds as well as changes in the operating performance of the underlying property serving as collateral for each bond. We validate that the changes in the estimated fair value of the taxable bonds move with the changes in these monitored factors. Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in taxable bonds is categorized as a Level 3 input.

Interest rate derivatives.  The effect of the Company’s interest rate caps is to set a cap, or upper limit, on the base rate of interest paid on the Company’s variable rate debt equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement.  The effect of the Company’s interest rate swap is to change a variable rate debt obligation to a fixed rate for that portion of the debt equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement.  The interest rate derivatives are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense.  The fair value of the interest rate derivatives is based on a model whose inputs are not observable and therefore are categorized as a Level 3 input. The inputs in the valuation model include three-

36

month LIBOR rates, unobservable adjustments to account for the SIFMA index, as well as any recent interest rate cap trades with similar terms.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The Company calculates a fair market value of each financial instrument using a discounted cash flow model based on the debt amortization schedules at the effective rate of interest for each period represented. This estimate of fair value is based on Level 3 inputs. Below represents the fair market value of the debt held on the balance sheet for September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company, from time to time, may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are frequently covered by insurance. If it has been determined that a loss is probable to occur, the estimated amount of the loss is accrued in the consolidated financial statements. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Certain of the MF Properties own apartment properties that generated LIHTCs for the previous partners in these partnerships.  In connection with the acquisition of partnership interests in these partnerships by subsidiaries of the Company, the Company has agreed to reimburse the prior partners for any liabilities they incur due to recapture of these tax credits to the extent the recapture liability is due to the operation of the properties in a manner inconsistent with the laws and regulations relating to such tax credits after the date of acquisition. No amount has been accrued for this contingent liability because management believes that the likelihood of any payments being required there under is remote.

39

In connection with the sale of the Greens Property, the Company entered into guarantee agreements with the BC Partners under which the Company has guaranteed certain obligations of the general partner of the Greens of Pine Glen limited partnership, including an obligation to repurchase the interests of the BC Partners if certain “repurchase events” occur. A repurchase event is defined as any one of a number of events mainly focused on the completion of the property rehabilitation, property rent stabilization, the delivery of LIHTCs, tax credit recapture and foreclosure. No amount has been accrued for this contingent liability because the likelihood of a repurchase event is remote. The maximum exposure to the Company at September 30, 2013, under the guarantee provision of the repurchase clause is approximately $1.3 million which represents 75% of the equity contributed by BC Partners to date.

In connection with the Ohio Properties transaction in 2011, the Company entered into guarantee agreements with the BC Partners under which the Company has guaranteed certain obligations of the general partner of these limited partnerships, including an obligation to repurchase the interests of the BC Partners if certain “repurchase events” occur. A repurchase event is defined as any one of a number of events mainly focused on the completion of the property rehabilitation, property rent stabilization, the delivery of LIHTCs, tax credit recapture and foreclosure. Even if a repurchase event should occur, 25% of the BC equity would remain in the Ohio Properties and thus BC, a third party, would have sufficient equity in the Ohio Properties for the Company to recognize the sale discussed in Note 9. No amount has been accrued for this contingent liability because the likelihood of a repurchase event is remote. The maximum exposure to the Company at September 30, 2013, under the guarantee provision of the repurchase clause is approximately $4.9 million which represents 75% of the equity contributed by BC Partners.

In March 2013, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company executed a 35-year ground lease with the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (“Lessor”) with an annual lease payment of $100. The leased property will have a mixed-use development consisting of a 1,605 stall parking garage and 475 bed student housing complex constructed on it. The Lessor will own the parking garage and the Company will own the student housing. The Company currently estimates the construction of the student housing will cost approximately $34.0 million and executed a guaranteed maximum price contract with the general contractor for the construction. The lease agreement has a stipulation that if the parking garage is not completed by August 1, 2014, the Company will pay damages of $6,000 per day of delayed completion to the Lessor. The Company's construction contract with the general contractor also stipulates that the general contractor will pay the Company $6,000 per day of liquidated damages for each day subsequent to August 1, 2014 that the parking garage is not completed. Construction has commenced and is estimated to be completed before the August 1, 2014 deadline.

To finance the construction of the student housing complex, the Company has executed an interest-only loan to borrow up to $25.5 million for a three year term at a variable interest rate. The Company also secured $4.3 million tax-incremental financing loan which is for a term of five years, carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 4.7% per annum, requires principal payments commencing after 24 months and has a balloon payment due at maturity. The Company has borrowed approximately $1.8 million on the first facility as of September 30, 2013 (Notes 7 and 11).

In June 2013, the Partnership executed a Bond Purchase Commitment agreeing to purchase an $8.0 million new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and a $500,000 taxable bond both secured by a multifamily property under construction in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The tax-exempt bond will have a stated annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum, the taxable bond will have a stated rate of 12% per annum, and bond proceeds must be used to pay off the third party construction loan. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the change in estimated fair value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership has estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $560,000.

The Partnership has also executed a Guarantee Agreement with the construction lender for this Albuquerque project. The terms of the Guarantee Agreement requires the Partnership to guarantee that all construction costs are paid when due and pay any remaining outstanding principal and unpaid interest on the construction loan on or before July 1, 2015. Construction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015 when the Partnership anticipates purchasing the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and taxable bond. No amounts have been accrued for this Guarantee Agreement as the Partnership expects that the construction loan will be sufficient to pay all costs during the construction period and that the proceeds from the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond, taxable bond, and third party equity contribution to be sufficient to pay off all outstanding principal and interest on the construction loan on or before July 1, 2015.

40

As the holder of residual interests issued in connection with its TEBS and TOB bond financing arrangements, the Partnership is required to guarantee certain losses that can be incurred by the trusts created in connection with these financings. These guarantees may result from a downgrade in the investment rating of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the trust or of the senior securities issued by the trust, a ratings downgrade of the liquidity provider for the trust, increases in short term interest rates beyond pre-set maximums, an inability to re-market the senior securities or an inability to obtain liquidity for the trust. In each of these cases, the trust will be collapsed. If the proceeds from the sale of the trust collateral are not sufficient to pay the principal amount of the senior securities with accrued interest and the other expenses of the trusts, the Partnership will be required to fund any such shortfall pursuant to its guarantee.

17. Subsequent Events

On October 21, 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Avistar at the Oaks, Avistar in 09, and Avistar on the Hills Series A and Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The amount borrowed was $13.2 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA. The facility matures in October 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 1.9% per annum and the variable rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately 0.4% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.3%.

18.  Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which adds additional disclosure requirements for significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2013 and only impacted disclosure requirements and did not have any effect on the operating results or financial condition of the Partnership.

19.  Segment Reporting

The Company consists of five reportable segments, Tax-Exempt Bond Investments, MF Properties, Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, MBS Investments, and Consolidated VIEs.  In addition to the five reportable segments, the Company also separately reports its consolidation and elimination information because it does not allocate certain items to the segments.

Tax-Exempt Bond Investments Segment

The Tax-Exempt Bond Investments segment consists of the Company’s portfolio of federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential apartments.  Such tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are held as long-term investments.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company held thirty-two tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds not associated with Consolidated VIEs and three tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds associated with Consolidated VIEs which are bonds that are eliminated in consolidation on the Company's financial statements. The multifamily apartment properties financed by the thirty-five tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds contain a total of 4,488 rental units. Three of the bonds' properties are not operational and are under construction (Note 4).

MF Properties Segment

The MF Properties segment consists of indirect equity interests in multifamily apartment properties which are not currently financed by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership but which the Partnership eventually intends to finance by such bonds through a restructuring.  In connection with any such restructuring, the Partnership will be required to dispose of any equity interest held in such MF Properties.  The Partnership's interests in its current MF Properties are not currently classified as Assets held for sale because the Partnership is not actively marketing them for sale, there is no definitive purchase agreement in existence that, under current guidance, can be recognized as a sale of real estate assets and, therefore, no sale is expected in the next twelve months. During the time the Partnership holds an interest in an MF Property, any net rental income generated by the MF Properties in excess of debt service will be available for distribution to the Partnership in accordance with its interest in the MF Property.  Any such cash distribution will contribute to the Partnership's CAD.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company consolidated the results of eight MF Properties containing a total of 1,582 rental units plus the student housing complex in Lincoln, Nebraska that is currently under construction (Note 7).

41

Other Tax-Exempt Investments

The Partnership Agreement authorizes the Company to make investments in tax-exempt investments other than tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds provided that these other tax-exempt investments are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a national securities rating agency and do not constitute more than 25% of the Company's assets at the time of acquisition as required under the Agreement of Limited Partnership. In addition, the amount of other tax-exempt investments are limited based on the conditions to the exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that is relied upon for the Partnership. The Company currently owns other tax-exempt investments, PHC Certificates and MBS, which are reported as two separate segments. The PHC Trusts segment consists of the assets, liabilities, and related income and expenses of the PHC Trusts. The Partnership consolidates the PHC Trusts due to ownership of the LIFERS issued by the three PHC Trusts, which hold custodial receipts evidencing loans made to a number of local public housing authorities. Principal and interest on these loans are payable by the respective public housing authorities out of annual appropriations to be made to the public housing authorities by the HUD. This investment was acquired in July 2012. The MBS segment consists of the assets, liabilities, and related income and expenses of the MBS TOB Trusts that the Company consolidated due to its ownership of the LIFERs issued by the MBS TOB Trusts. These MBS TOB Trusts are securitizations of state-issued mortgage-backed securities which are backed by residential mortgage loans. These investments were acquired during the fourth quarter of 2012 through the second quarter of 2013 (Note 6).

The Consolidated VIE Segment

The Consolidated VIE segment consists of multifamily apartment properties which are financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership, the assets, liabilities and operating results of which are consolidated with those of the Partnership as a result of consolidation guidance.  The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds on these Consolidated VIE properties are eliminated from the Company’s financial statements as a result of such consolidation, however, such bonds are held as long-term investments by the Partnership which continues to be entitled to receive principal and interest payments on such bonds.  The Company does not actually own an equity position in the Consolidated VIEs or their underlying properties.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company consolidated three VIEs containing a total 650 units (Note 3).

Management closely monitors and evaluates the financial reporting associated with and the operations of the Consolidated VIEs and the MF Properties and performs such evaluation separately from the other operations of the Partnership through interaction with the affiliated property management company which manages the multifamily apartment properties held by the Consolidated VIEs and the MF Properties.

Management's goals with respect to the properties constituting the Company's Consolidated VIE and MF Properties reportable segments is to generate increasing amounts of net rental income from these properties that will allow them to (i) make all payments of base interest, and possibly pay contingent interest, on the properties included in the Tax-Exempt Bond Investments segment and the Consolidated VIE segment, and (ii) distribute net rental income to the Partnership from the MF Properties segment until such properties can be refinanced with additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds meeting the Partnership's investment criteria.  In order to achieve these goals, management of these multifamily apartment properties is focused on: (i) maintaining high economic occupancy and increasing rental rates through effective leasing, reduced turnover rates and providing quality maintenance and services to maximize resident satisfaction; (ii) managing operating expenses and achieving cost reductions through operating efficiencies and economies of scale generally inherent in the management of a portfolio of multiple properties; and (iii) emphasizing regular programs of repairs, maintenance and property improvements to enhance the competitive advantage and value of its properties in their respective market areas.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the “Partnership” refers to America First Tax Exempt Investors, L.P. and its Consolidated Subsidiaries which consist of:

• ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to hold tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in order to facilitate the Tax Exempt Bond Securitization (“TEBS”) Financing with Freddie Mac (see Note 10).

• Nine multifamily apartments ("MF Properties") are majority owned by two limited partnerships in which a subsidiary of the Partnership holds a 99% limited partner interest in three and four limited liability companies of which a subsidiary of the Partnership owns a 100% member interest.

The “Company” refers to the condensed consolidated financial statements reported in this Form 10-Q which include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Partnership, the MF Properties owned by two limited partnerships in which one of the Partnership's wholly-owned subsidiaries (each a “Holding Company”) holds a 99% limited partner interest, three entities in which the Partnership does not hold an ownership interest but which own multifamily apartment properties financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership and which are treated as variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which the Partnership has been determined to be the primary beneficiary (the “Consolidated VIEs”). All significant transactions and accounts between the Partnership and the VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s critical accounting policies are the same as those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Executive Summary

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company generated Net income of approximately $3.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company generated Net income of approximately $15.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company realized approximately $634,000 in tax-exempt revenue mortgage bond interest and a $1.4 million gain on sale of discontinued operations due to the recognition of the sale of the Greens Property. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company realized approximately $6.5 million in contingent tax-exempt interest income offset by approximately $4.6 million in a realized loss on a taxable property loan related to the redemption of the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond, approximately $5.3 million in tax-exempt revenue mortgage bond and taxable property loan interest income, a $250,000 guarantee fee, and an approximate $1.8 million gain on the sale of discontinued operations due to the recognition of the sale of the Ohio Properties. The Company realized an approximately $1.3 million gain on sale of discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2012 due to the sale of Churchland. In addition, new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds purchased in the second half of 2012 and the first nine months of 2013 resulted in the Company reporting an approximate $2.1 million and $6.1 million in additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond interest income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company had a significant increase in property revenues, real estate operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization expenses related to new property activity with respect to the following properties; Woodland Park (foreclosed in May 2013), the Maples on 97th (acquired in August 2012), Weatherford (lease-up commenced in the second quarter of 2012), and DeCordova (34 new units leased-up in the third quarter of 2012). Overall economic occupancy (which is adjusted to reflect rental concessions, delinquent rents, and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units) of the apartment properties that the Partnership has financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds was approximately 87% for the first nine months of 2013 and approximately 88% for the first nine months of 2012.  Overall economic occupancy of the MF Properties was approximately 82% for the first nine months of 2013 and approximately 76% for the first nine months of 2012.

The Company generated Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) of approximately $3.8 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and approximately $14.5 million and $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See further discussion of CAD in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Included in the $14.5 million of CAD for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is income from transactions which may not recur in future quarters:

45

• In the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized approximately $1.9 million of net income - America First Tax Exempt Investors, LP related to the redemption of the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond of which 25% was distributed to the General Partner as this was determined to be Tier 2 income.

• In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company also recognized approximately $1.4 million of taxable interest and other income related to the recognition of the sale of the Ohio Properties.

Recent Investment Activity

In August 2013, the Partnership acquired a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by the Vantage at Harlingen Apartments, a 288 unit multifamily apartment complex located in Harlingen, Texas which is under construction. The Series C bond was purchased for approximately $6.7 million par value, carries a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum, and matures on August 1, 2053. The Partnership also acquired a $1.3 million subordinate taxable bond which is recorded as an Other Asset. The Vantage at Harlingen Apartments has a construction loan with an unrelated bank and the Partnership's tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are second lien borrowings to that construction loan. Under the terms of a Forward Delivery Bond Purchase Agreement ("Bond Purchase Commitment"), the Partnership has agreed to purchase a new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond between $18,000,000 to $24,692,000 (“Harlingen Series B Bond”) secured by the Vantage at Harlingen apartments which will be delivered by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond issuer once the property meets specific obligations and occupancy rates. The final amount of the Series B Bond will depend on the appraisal of the stabilized property. The Harlingen Series B Bond will have a stated annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and bond proceeds must be used to pay off the construction loan to the bank and all or a portion of the $6.7 million subordinate Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the estimated value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $1.8 million (see Note 4).

In July 2013, the limited partner property owner contributed an approximate additional $800,000 of capital into the Greens Property which allowed the Company to recognize a sale of the discontinued operations (see Note 9). As such, the Partnership is reporting the approximate $9.1 million fair market value of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds related to the Greens Property as assets for the first time as of September 30, 2013 (see Note 4).

In June 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas. The bond purchases are as follows: approximately $5.9 million par value Series A and approximately $2.5 million par value Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (formerly known as ("f/k/a") Dublin Apartments), a 156 unit multifamily apartment complex; approximately $3.1 million Series A and approximately $2.3 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), a 129 unit multifamily apartment complex; and approximately $5.5 million Series A and approximately $1.7 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), a 133 unit multifamily apartment complex. The three Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and mature on August 1, 2050. The three Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on September 1, 2050. The Partnership also acquired approximately $831,000 of taxable mortgage revenue bonds which also carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on September 1, 2050 (see Note 4).

The Partnership, as sole bondholder, previously directed the bond trustee to file a foreclosure action on the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. On February 28, 2013, the court granted Summary Judgment in the bond trustee's favor confirming that the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond is senior to mechanic's liens filed on the property. Subsequently, the court ordered a sale of the Woodland Park property and on April 23, 2013, the Partnership made a bid to purchase the property for the amount of the outstanding principal and interest it is owed. The Partnership's Motion of Confirmation was approved by the court on May 2, 2013. The bond trustee assigned its right to the property to the Partnership on May 8, 2013 and the Partnership received the Sheriff's deed conveying title to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership on May 29, 2013. Woodland Park became an MF Property at a net asset value of approximately $15.7 million upon conveyance of title. The Partnership now has the option of converting the property to a market rate rent execution or maintain it as an affordable rental property.  The Partnership will continue to assess its long-term strategy for the property to maximize its economic value (see Note 7).

46

In April 2013, the Partnership acquired the Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by the Renaissance Gateway Apartments, a 208 unit multifamily apartment complex located in New Orleans, Louisiana for approximately $2.9 million par value. In July and September 2013, the Partnership purchased $1.3 million par value Series B and $2.6 million par value Series A, respectively, tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond carries a base interest rate of 12.0% per annum and matures on June 1, 2015. The Series A and Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds carry a base interest rate of 6% and 12% per annum, respectively, maturing on June 1, 2030. This property is undergoing a major rehabilitation and the Partnership has agreed to fund a total of approximately $8.6 million of a Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond during construction which is estimated to be completed on June 30, 2014. Upon completion of construction and stabilization, the approximate $2.9 million Series C bond will be paid back on the earlier of when the property receives its final equity contribution by the limited partner or June 1, 2015. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the estimated value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $567,000 (see Note 4).

In March 2013, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company executed a 35-year ground lease with the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (“Lessor”) with an annual lease payment of $100. The leased property will have a mixed-use development consisting of a 1,605 stall parking garage and 475 bed student housing complex constructed on it. The Lessor will own the parking garage for which it will contribute approximately $16.7 million to its construction. The Company will own the student housing complex and currently estimates that construction will cost approximately $34.0 million. The Company executed a guaranteed maximum price contract with the general contractor for the construction on the mixed-use development. The Company expects to restructure its ownership of the student housing complex into a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond holding after the construction is completed (which is estimated as August 1, 2014 and when the project has a sufficient history of operating results) (see Note 7).

In February 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas. The bond purchases are as follows: approximately $13.8 million par value Series A and approximately $3.2 million par value Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar on the Boulevard, a 344 unit multifamily apartment complex; approximately $9.0 million Series A and approximately $2 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar at Chase Hill, a 232 unit multifamily apartment complex; and approximately $8.8 million Series A and approximately $1.7 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by Avistar at the Crest, a 200 unit multifamily apartment complex. The three Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and mature on March 1, 2050. The three Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on April 1, 2050. The Partnership also acquired approximately $804,000 of taxable bonds which also carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on April 1, 2050 (see Note 4).

Recent Financing and Derivative Activities

In September 2013, the Partnership executed a $7.0 million promissory note related to the Woodland Park property. This promissory note carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.8% per annum plus 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") which was approximately .2%, resulting in approximately 3.0% at the date of closing and September 30, 2013. The Partnership has borrowed approximately $6.0 million as of September 30, 2013 and the facility matures in March 2014 (see Note 11).

In July 2013, the Company purchased a new interest rate derivative with a notional amount of $93.3 million which represents the amount outstanding on the TEBS financing facility at August 1, 2013.  The maturity date of this interest rate derivative is September 1, 2017 and the effective capped interest rate is 1.5%.  On July 30, 2013, the Company also sold a new interest rate derivative to the same counterparty which had the same notional amount of $93.3 million and an effective capped interest rate of 3.0%.  The total cost of these two interest rate derivatives was approximately $800,000 and the derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, therefore, changes in the estimated fair value of the interest rate derivatives will be included in earnings in future quarters.  This interest rate corridor transaction effectively reduced the capped interest rate from 3.0% to 1.5% on the TEBS financing facility through the maturity date of the interest rate derivative contracts (see Note 14).

In June 2013, the Company executed a new Tender Option Bond ("TOB Trust") under its credit facility with Deutsche Bank ("DB") securitizing the Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, and Avistar at the Crest Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The amount borrowed and the balance at September 30, 2013 was $20.0 million. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum plus a variable interest rate paid on the TOB Trust on the senior floating-rate participation interest (“SPEARS”) of approximately .4% which is tied to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.5%. The facility matures in June 2014 (see Note 10).

47

In April 2013, the Company borrowed approximately $7.8 million through a sixth securitization of mortgage-backed security ("MBS TOB Trust") with a par value of approximately $10.0 million. On the date of closing the total fixed MBS TOB Trust fee was approximately .9% per annum and the variable rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS of approximately .3% which is tied to SIFMA resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.2%. This MBS TOB Trust matures in February 2014 (see Note 10).

In April 2013, the Company executed an interest-only loan to borrow up to $25.5 million for a three year term at a variable interest rate secured by the student housing complex in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Company also secured a $4.3 million tax-incremental financing loan which is for a term of five years, carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 4.7% per annum, requires principal payments commencing after 24 months and has a balloon payment due at maturity. The Company has borrowed approximately $1.8 million on the three year term facility as of September 30, 2013 (see Notes 11 and 16).

In March 2013, the Partnership obtained a $10.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit. This revolving line of credit carries a variable interest rate which was approximately 3.5% at the date of closing and matures in March 2014. On September 30, 2013, the Partnership reported an approximate $7.5 million balance at an approximate 3.5% interest rate (see Note 10). This line of credit will be utilized to help with short-term working capital needs and to fund new investments during the periods of time that the Company is working with its lender to finalize new TOB financings of assets.

In March 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Arbors at Hickory Ridge tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The amount borrowed on date of closing and on September 30, 2013 was $7.0 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA maturing in February 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately .5% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.6% (see Note 10).

In February 2013, the Partnership obtained a $7.5 million loan secured by the Maples on 97th property. This loan is with an unrelated third party and carries a fixed annual interest rate of approximately 3.6% per annum through June 30, 2013 switching to approximately 4.4% per annum beginning on July 1, 2013, maturing on February 10, 2016 (see Note 11).

In February 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Greens Property tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The amount borrowed was approximately $5.8 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA maturing in December 2013. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately .5% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.6%. The outstanding balance was $5.7 million at September 30, 2013 (see Note 10).

In February 2013, the Partnership obtained a debt facility secured by the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond with total available borrowings of up to $6.0 million. Any borrowed amount carried a fixed interest rate of 5.0% per annum and the facility had a stated maturity of February 25, 2014. On June 29, 2013 the Partnership retired this debt facility (see Note 10).

In January 2013, the Company borrowed approximately $2.0 million through a TOB securitizing state issued mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") with a par value of approximately $2.5 million. At the date of closing this borrowing carried a total fixed MBS TOB Trust fee of approximately .9% per annum plus a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA of approximately .3% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.2%. This facility matures in April 2014 (see Note 10).

As of September 30, 2013, the total costs of borrowing by investment type are:

• range between approximately 1.0% and 1.3% for the MBS TOB Trusts

• 2.3% for the PHC Trust Certificates' TOB Trusts

• range between approximately 2.0% and 2.5% for the TOB Trusts securitized by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds

• 3.6% per annum for the revolving line of credit; and

• range between approximately 2.0% and 3.6% between the revolving line of credit, the mortgage payables and other financing facilities related to MF Properties that have been executed since December 31, 2012.

Discussion of the Tax-Exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond Holdings as of September 30, 2013

The Partnership’s primary purpose is to acquire and hold as long-term investments a portfolio of federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential apartments. At September 30, 2013, the Partnership held 35 tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by 27 properties of which 13 bonds are owned by ATAX TEBS I, LLC and six are held in trust facilities with DB (see Note 10).  Twenty-four of the properties securing the bonds contain a total of 4,488 rental units and three of the bonds' properties are not operational and are under construction. Three of the entities that own the apartment properties financed by three of the Partnership’s tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds were deemed to be Consolidated VIEs of the Partnership at September 30, 2013 and, as a result, these bonds are eliminated in consolidation on the Company’s financial statements.  

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the tax-exempt bond investment segment reported revenue of approximately $4.6 million and $23.4 million, respectively, interest expense of approximately $1.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and income from continuing operations of approximately $2.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the tax-exempt bond investment segment reported revenue of approximately $2.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively, interest expense of approximately $1.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and income from continuing operations of approximately $931,000 and $2.7 million, respectively. The increase in income from continuing operations quarter over quarter resulted from the net increase from the acquisitions of new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held in the portfolio. The increase in income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012 resulted from the approximate $1.9 million net realized gain on the redemption of the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond (see Note 4), approximately $5.3 million of tax-exempt and taxable interest income and a guarantee fee of $250,000 realized from the recognition of the sale of the Ohio Properties, and the net increase from the acquisitions of new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held in the portfolio during the first nine months of 2013.

Discussion of the MF Property Holdings as of September 30, 2013

To facilitate its investment strategy of acquiring additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by multifamily apartment properties, the Partnership may acquire ownership positions in MF Properties in order to ultimately restructure the property ownership through a sale of the MF Properties.  The Partnership expects each of these MF Properties to eventually be sold to a not-for-profit entity or in connection with a syndication of Low Income Housing Tax Credits ("LIHTCs"). The Partnership expects to acquire tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued to provide debt financing for these properties at the time the property ownership is restructured. The Partnership expects to provide the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds to the new property owners as part of the restructuring.  Such restructurings will generally be expected to be initiated within 36 months of the Partnership’s investment in an MF Property and will often coincide with the expiration of the compliance period relating to LIHTCs previously issued with respect to the MF Property. 

At September 30, 2013, the Partnership’s consolidated subsidiaries owned eight MF Properties which contain a total of 1,582 rental units plus the student housing complex in Lincoln, Nebraska that is currently under construction (see Note 7). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the MF Properties segment reported approximately $478,000 and $1.2 million loss from continuing operations, respectively, and approximately $1.4 million and $3.2 million gain on sale of MF Properties, respectively, which was recognized within income from discontinued operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, this segment reported $924,000 and $2.0 million of net income, respectively.

At September 30, 2012, the Partnership’s consolidated subsidiaries owned seven MF Properties which contain a total of 1,346 rental units reported within continuing operations. Woodland Park was not included in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, loss from continuing operations or net income as the foreclosure was completed effective June 1, 2013. However, the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond was presented as an investment in the prior year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the MF Properties segment reported an approximately $115,000 and $654,000 loss from continuing operations, respectively, and approximately $1.3 million and $961,000 net income, respectively. The difference between loss from continuing operations and the net income is attributed to the income from discontinued operations.

The increase in loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year can be attributed to the increase in real estate, depreciation, and amortization expenses due to the foreclosure of Woodland Park and the acquisition of Maples on 97th properties and the finalization of the construction of other properties.

America First Properties Management Company (“Properties Management”), an affiliate of AFCA 2, provides property management services for the eight MF Properties, the three VIEs, and six of the properties collateralized by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  Management believes that this relationship provides greater insight and understanding of the underlying property operations and their ability to meet debt service requirements to the Partnership.

The following table outlines certain information regarding the apartment properties on which the Partnership holds tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds (separately identifying those owned by entities treated as Consolidated VIEs) and the MF Properties.  The narrative discussion that follows provides a brief operating analysis of each property during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012.

⁽¹⁾  Economic occupancy is presented for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, and is defined as the net rental income received divided by the maximum amount of rental income to be derived from each property. This statistic is reflective of rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units. Actual occupancy is a point in time measure while economic occupancy is a measurement over the period presented, therefore, economic occupancy for a period may exceed the actual occupancy at any point in time.

⁽²⁾  This property finished construction during the first quarter of 2012; was in the lease-up stage during 2012 and therefore occupancy data was not provided until property reached stabilization.

⁽³⁾  Previous period occupancy numbers are not available as these are new investments. In addition, these properties are under renovations so the properties are not considered stabilized at this time. Physical and economic occupancy will be reported when construction is substantially complete on renovations.

⁽⁴⁾  The Partnership holds approximately $18.2 million of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by Crescent Village, Willow Bend and Postwoods (Ohio Properties). Crescent Village is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, Willow Bend is located in Columbus (Hilliard), Ohio and Postwoods is located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

The approximate $928,000 increase was attributable to the acquisition of Maples on 97th in August 2012, Weatherford which began leasing in 2012, DeCordova which began leasing 34 newly constructed rental units in the third quarter of 2012, and Woodland Park which became an MF Property effective June 1, 2013. In addition, approximately $201,000 was attributable to Arboretum's increased occupancy. The MF Properties averaged monthly rent of approximately $608 per unit in the third quarter of 2013 as compared with $538 per unit in the third quarter of 2012. The Consolidated VIEs averaged $601 per unit in monthly rent in 2013 as compared to $586 per unit in 2012.

Investment income.   Investment income includes interest earned on tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates, and MBS. This income increased during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012 by approximately $2.1 million due to offsetting factors. Approximately $2.7 million of the increase in interest income is the result of the addition of the Ohio Properties, Greens Property, Arbors at Hickory Ridge, Vantage at Judson, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, Avistar at the Crest, Renaissance Apartments, Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), and Vantage at Harlingen Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates, and MBS. These increases were offset by the loss of approximately $508,000 of investment income due to the redemption of Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and the completion of the foreclosure of Woodland Park mortgage bond in the second quarter of 2013.

Other interest income. Other interest income is comprised mainly of interest income on taxable property loans held by the Partnership. The increase in other interest income from the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012 is attributable to taxable interest income from the taxable property loans which are securitized by the Ohio Properties.

55

Real estate operating expenses.  Real estate operating expenses associated with the MF Properties and the Consolidated VIEs is comprised principally of real estate taxes, property insurance, utilities, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, and salaries and related employee expenses of on-site employees. A portion of real estate operating expenses are fixed in nature, thus a decrease in physical and economic occupancy would result in a reduction in operating margins. Conversely, as physical and economic occupancy increase, the fixed nature of these expenses will increase operating margins as these real estate operating expenses would not increase at the same rate as rental revenues.  The types of real estate operating expenses are consistent for both the consolidated Company and Partnership Only formats. The increase in real estate operating expenses from the third quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2012 was partly due to approximately $443,000 of real estate operating expenses related to Maples on 97th which was acquired in August 2012 and Woodland Park which became an MF Property effective June 1, 2013 (see Note 7). Arboretum, Eagle Village, and Weatherford reported approximately $93,000 greater real estate taxes when comparing the third quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2012. The remaining increase was related to the existing VIEs and MF Properties normal operating increases in salaries, utilities, insurance and repair and maintenance expenses. These increases were offset by approximately $150,000 in acquisition costs reported by the EAT (Maples on 97th) VIE in 2012, the year in which that property was acquired.

Provision for loan loss. The Company periodically, or as changes in circumstances or operations dictate, evaluates its investments for impairment. The value of the underlying property assets is ultimately the most relevant measure of value to support the investment carrying values. Investments tested for impairment include all fixed assets, bond investments and taxable property loans made to various properties and other amounts due to the Company. Such evaluation is based on cash flow and discounted cash flow models. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company determined a portion of the taxable property loans were potentially impaired and an additional provision for loan loss should be recorded.   A provision for loan loss and an associated loan loss reserve of $72,000 was recorded against the Cross Creek taxable property loan in the third quarter of 2013. There was no provision for loan loss or associated loan loss reserve in the third quarter of 2012.

Provision for loss on receivables. A quarterly provision for loss was recorded on the interest receivable from the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond until the foreclosure was completed on May 29, 2013. As a result, there is no quarterly expense for the third quarter of 2013. During the third quarter of 2012, Woodland Park remitted a portion of the 2012 interest that was due on their bond which had been previously reserved against; all remaining accrued interest for 2012 was reserved.

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation results primarily from the apartment properties of the Consolidated VIEs and the MF Properties. Amortization consists of in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the acquisition-method of accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties and deferred finance cost amortization related to the closing of the TEBS and TOB Credit Facilities. Approximately $470,000 of the increase in depreciation and amortization expense from the third quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2013 is related to Woodland Park which became an MF property effective June 1, 2013, Maples on 97th which was acquired at the end of August 2012 and the additional depreciation recorded once the Residences at Weatherford's construction was completed and placed in service in the third quarter of 2012. The majority of the remaining increase is related to the additional amortization expense reported on the Partnership's financing.

Interest expense. The net increase in interest expense during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012 was due to offsetting factors. An approximate $165,000 increase between the two quarters resulted from the change in the mark to market adjustment of the Company's derivatives. These interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense. In addition, an increase of approximately $658,000 resulted from higher average outstanding debt principal between the two quarters. Offsetting these increases was a decrease of approximately $48,000 resulted from a decrease in interest rates. The Company's borrowing cost decreased to approximately 2.6% per annum for the third quarter of 2013 as compared to approximately 2.7% per annum in the third quarter of 2012.

General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses is mostly attributable to an approximate $147,000 increase in administrative fees payable to AFCA 2 related to the acquisition of the Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, MBS, and tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Arbors at Hickory Ridge Apartments, Vantage at Judson, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, Avistar at the Crest, Renaissance Apartments, Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), and Vantage at Harlingen Apartments. The remaining increase is comprised of increased professional fees, printing expenses and travel expenses during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to third quarter 2012.

56

Income from discontinued operations. The difference between the third quarters of 2013 and 2012 relates to the number of properties reported as discontinued operations. The Greens Property is the single property reported as discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2013 (only one month of activity). Eagle Ridge, Churchland, the Ohio Properties and the Greens Property results of operations are all reported as discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2012. The Company recognized a gain from the sale of the Greens Property in the third quarter of 2013 and a gain from the sale of Churchland in the third quarter of 2012.

Net income - America First Tax Exempt Investors, L. P.	$	15,687,845	$	3,148,047	$	12,539,798

Property revenues.  Property revenues increased approximately $2.9 million between the years mostly attributable to the acquisition of Maples on 97th in August 2012, Weatherford which began leasing in the second quarter of 2012, DeCordova which began leasing 34 newly constructed rental units in the third quarter of 2012, and Woodland Park which became an MF Property effective June 1, 2013. In addition, approximately $479,000 of the increase is attributable to the improved occupancy at Arboretum. The MF Properties averaged monthly rent of approximately $557 per unit in 2013 as compared with $535 per unit in 2012. The Consolidated VIEs averaged $597 per unit in monthly rent in 2013 as compared to $586 per unit in 2012.

57

Investment income.   Investment income includes interest earned on tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates, and MBS. This income increased during the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012 by approximately $9.8 million due to various factors. Approximately $5.2 million of the increase is tied to the recognition of the sale of the Ohio and Greens Properties in the first nine months of 2013. This income is tax-exempt interest payments received by the Partnership since it acquired the Ohio Properties' tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in June 2010 and the Greens Property's tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in October 2012 which previously was deferred due to the deposit method of accounting (see Note 9). Approximately $5.7 million of the increase in interest income is the result of the addition of the Arbors at Hickory Ridge, Vantage at Judson, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, Avistar at the Crest, Renaissance Apartments, Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), and Vantage at Harlingen Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates, and MBS. These increases were offset by the loss of approximately $1.0 million from the sale of GMF-Madison Tower and GMF-Warren/Tulane tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in 2012, redemption of Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond in 2013, and the completion of the foreclosure of Woodland Park in May 2013.

Contingent interest income. The Company realized approximately $6.5 million of contingent tax-exempt interest income upon the redemption of the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond in June 2013 (see Note 4). There was no contingent interest income realized in 2012.

Other interest income. Other interest income is comprised mainly of interest income on taxable property loans held by the Partnership. The majority of the increase in other interest income is attributable to approximately $1.1 million in taxable interest income realized from the taxable property loans securitized by the Ohio Properties. This resulted from the Partnership recognizing the sale of the Ohio Properties during the first nine months of 2013 (see Note 9).

Gain on sale of bonds.  The gain on the sale of bonds is the result of the sale of the GMF-Madison Tower and GMF-Warren/Tulane tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in May, 2012. There was no gain realized on the sale of bonds in 2013.

Other income.  Other income recognized in 2013 is a guarantee fee received from the General Partner owner of the Ohio Properties (see Note 9). There was no other income recognized in 2012.

Real estate operating expenses. The increase in real estate operating expenses was partly due to approximately $984,000 of real estate operating expenses related to Maples on 97th which was acquired in August 2012 and Woodland Park which became an MF Property effective June 1, 2013 (see Note 7). Glynn Place reported approximately $110,000 of additional repair expenses for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012. Arboretum, Eagle Village, and Weatherford reported approximately $275,000 greater real estate taxes when comparing the first nine months of 2013 to the same period in 2012. The remaining increase was related to the existing VIEs and MF Properties normal operating increases in salaries, utilities, insurance and repair and maintenance expenses. These increases were offset by approximately $150,000 in acquisition costs reported by the EAT (Maples on 97th) VIE in 2012.

Realized loss on taxable property loan. In June 2013, the Partnership redeemed its interest in the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond for approximately $21.9 million. This redemption resulted in the realization of approximately $4.6 million loss on a taxable property loan. There was no realized loss on taxable property loans reported in the first nine months of 2012.

Provision for loan loss. The Company periodically, or as changes in circumstances or operations dictate, evaluates its investments for impairment. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company determined a portion of the taxable property loans were potentially impaired and an additional provision for loan loss should be recorded.   A provision for loan loss and an associated loan loss reserve of $168,000 was recorded against the Cross Creek taxable property loan in the second quarter of 2013. There was no provision for loan loss or associated loan loss reserve in the first nine months of 2012.

Provision for loss on receivables. A provision for loss was recorded on the interest receivable from the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond until the foreclosure was completed on May 29, 2013. Any cash receipts of interest income was recorded as received.

58

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation results primarily from the apartment properties of the Consolidated VIEs and the MF Properties. Amortization consists of in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the acquisition-method of accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties and deferred finance cost amortization related to the closing of the TEBS and TOB Credit Facilities. Approximately $1.3 million of the increase in depreciation and amortization expense from the first nine months of 2012 to the first nine months of 2013 is related to Woodland Park which became an MF property effective June 1, 2013, Maples on 97th which was acquired at the end of August 2012, the additional depreciation recorded once the Residences at Weatherford's construction was completed and placed in service in second quarter of 2012, and the additional depreciation recorded once the Residences of DeCordova's new unit construction was completed in the third quarter of 2012. The remaining increase is related to the additional amortization expense reported on the Partnership's financing.

Interest expense. The net increase in interest expense during the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012 was due to offsetting factors. An increase of approximately $2.0 million resulted from higher average outstanding debt principal when comparing the first nine months of 2013 to the first nine months of 2012. An approximate $751,000 decrease between the two nine month periods resulted from the change in the mark to market adjustment of the Company's derivatives. These interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense. In addition, a decrease of approximately $244,000 resulted from a decrease in interest rates. The Company's borrowing cost decreased to approximately 2.5% per annum for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to approximately 2.7% per annum in the first nine months of 2012.

General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to offsetting factors. An approximate $492,000 is related to increased administrative fees payable to AFCA 2 related to the acquisition of the Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, MBS, and the Arbors at Hickory Ridge Apartments, Vantage at Judson, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, Avistar at the Crest, Renaissance Apartments, Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), Avistar in 09 (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), and Vantage at Harlingen Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The remaining increase is comprised of increased professional fees, printing expenses and travel expenses during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to third quarter 2012 offset by incentive compensation recorded in 2012 which did not recur in 2013.

Income from discontinued operations. The majority of the increase is attributable to the gain of approximately $1.8 million from the recognition of the sale of the Ohio Properties and approximately $1.4 million from the recognition of the sale of the Greens Property in the first nine months of 2013. The Company sold Churchland during third quarter of 2012 and recognized a gain of approximately $1.3 million.

Property revenues. The property revenues increased approximately $1.1 million comparing the third quarter of 2013 and the third quarter of 2012. The approximate $928,000 increase was attributable to the acquisition of Maples on 97th in August 2012, Weatherford which began leasing in 2012, DeCordova which began leasing 34 newly constructed rental units in the third quarter of 2012, and Woodland Park which became an MF Property effective June 1, 2013. In addition, approximately $201,000 was attributable to Arboretum's increased occupancy. The MF Properties averaged monthly rent of approximately $608 per unit in the third quarter of 2013 as compared with $538 per unit in the third quarter of 2012.

Investment income.  Investment income includes interest earned on tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates, and MBS. This income increased during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012 by approximately $2.1 million due to offsetting factors. Approximately $2.7 million of the increase in interest income is the result of the addition of the Ohio Properties, Greens Property, Arbors at Hickory Ridge, Vantage at Judson, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, Avistar at the Crest, Renaissance Apartments, Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), and Vantage at Harlingen Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates, and MBS. These increases were offset by losses of approximately $508,000 from the redemption of Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and the completion of the foreclosure of Woodland Park in the second quarter 2013.

60

Other interest income. Other interest income is comprised mainly of interest income on taxable property loans held by the Partnership. The increase in other interest income from the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012 is attributable to taxable interest income from the taxable property loans which are securitized by the Ohio Properties.

Real estate operating expenses. The increase in real estate operating expenses from the third quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2012 was partly due to approximately $443,000 of real estate operating expenses related to Maples on 97th which was acquired in August 2012 and Woodland Park which became an MF Property effective June 1, 2013 (see Note 7). Arboretum, Eagle Village, and Weatherford reported approximately $93,000 greater real estate taxes when comparing the third quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2012. The remaining increase was related to the existing MF Properties normal operating increases in salaries, utilities, insurance and repair and maintenance expenses.

Provision for loan loss. The Company periodically, or as changes in circumstances or operations dictate, evaluates its investments for impairment. The value of the underlying property assets is ultimately the most relevant measure of value to support the investment carrying values. Investments tested for impairment include all fixed assets, bond investments and taxable property loans made to various properties and other amounts due to the Company. Such evaluation is based on cash flow and discounted cash flow models. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company determined a portion of the taxable property loans were potentially impaired and an additional provision for loan loss should be recorded.   A provision for loan loss and an associated loan loss reserve of $72,000 was recorded against the Cross Creek taxable property loan in the third quarter of 2013. There was no provision for loan loss or associated loan loss reserve in the third quarter of 2012.

Provision for loss on receivables. A quarterly provision for loss was recorded on the interest receivable from the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond until the foreclosure was completed on May 29, 2013. As a result, there is no quarterly expense for third quarter of 2013. During the third quarter of 2012, Woodland Park remitted a portion of the 2012 interest owed on the mortgage bond; all remaining accrued interest for 2012 was reserved.

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation results primarily from the apartment properties of the MF Properties. Amortization consists of in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the acquisition-method of accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties and deferred finance cost amortization related to the closing of the TEBS and TOB Credit Facilities. Approximately $470,000 of the increase in depreciation and amortization expense from the third quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2013 is related to Woodland Park which became an MF property effective June 1, 2013, Maples on 97th which was acquired at the end of August 2012 and the additional depreciation recorded once the Residences at Weatherford's construction was completed and placed in service in third quarter of 2012. The majority of the remaining increase is related to the additional amortization expense reported on the Partnership's financing.

Interest expense. The net increase in interest expense during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012 was due to offsetting factors. An approximate $165,000 increase between the two quarters resulted from the change in the mark to market adjustment of the Company's derivatives. These interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense. In addition, an increase of approximately $658,000 resulted from higher average outstanding debt principal between the two quarters. Offsetting these increases was a decrease of approximately $48,000 resulted from a decrease in interest rates. The Company's borrowing cost decreased to approximately 2.6% per annum for the third quarter of 2013 as compared to approximately 2.7% per annum in the third quarter of 2012.

General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses is mostly attributable to an approximate $147,000 increase in administrative fees payable to AFCA 2 related to the acquisition of the Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, MBS, and tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Arbors at Hickory Ridge Apartments, Vantage at Judson, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, Avistar at the Crest, Renaissance Apartments, Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), Avistar in 09 (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), and Vantage at Harlingen Apartments. The remaining increase is comprised of increased professional fees, printing expenses and travel expenses during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to third quarter 2012.

Income from discontinued operations. The difference between the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 relates to the number of properties reported as discontinued operations. The Greens Property is the single property reported as discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2013 (only one month of activity). Eagle Ridge, Churchland, the Ohio Properties and the Greens Property results of operations are all reported as discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2012. The Company recognized a gain from the sale of the Greens Property in the third quarter of 2013 and a gain from the sale of Churchland in the third quarter of 2012.

Property revenues.  Property revenues increased approximately $2.9 million between the years mostly attributable to the acquisition of Maples on 97th in August 2012, Weatherford which began leasing in the second quarter of 2012, DeCordova which began leasing 34 newly constructed rental units in the third quarter of 2012, and Woodland Park which became an MF Property effective June 1, 2013. In addition, approximately $479,000 of the increase is attributable to the improved occupancy at Arboretum. The MF Properties averaged monthly rent of approximately $557 per unit in 2013 as compared to $535 per unit in 2012.

Investment income.   Investment income includes interest earned on tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates, and MBS. This income increased during the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012 by approximately $9.8 million due to various factors. Approximately $5.2 million of the increase is tied to the recognition of the sale of the Ohio and Greens Properties in the first nine months of 2013. This income is tax-exempt interest payments received by the Partnership since it acquired the Ohio Properties' tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in June 2010 and the Greens Property's tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in October 2012 which previously was deferred due to the deposit method of accounting (see Note 9). Approximately $5.7 million of the increase in interest income is the result of the addition of the Arbors at Hickory Ridge, Vantage at Judson, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, Avistar at the Crest, Renaissance Apartments, Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), and Vantage at Harlingen Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates, and MBS. These increases were offset by decreases of approximately $1.0 million from the sale of GMF-Madison Tower and GMF-Warren/Tulane tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in 2012, redemption of Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond in 2013, and the completion of the foreclosure of Woodland Park in May 2013.

Contingent interest income. The Company realized approximately $6.5 million of contingent tax-exempt interest income upon the redemption of the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond in June 2013 (see Note 4). There was no contingent interest income realized in 2012.

62

Other interest income. Other interest income is comprised mainly of interest income on taxable property loans held by the Partnership. The majority of the increase in other interest income is attributable to approximately $1.1 million in taxable interest income realized from the taxable property loans securitized by the Ohio Properties. This resulted from the Partnership recognizing the sale of the Ohio Properties during the first nine months of 2013 (see Note 9).

Gain on sale of bonds.  The gain on the sale of bonds is the result of the sale of the GMF-Madison Tower and GMF-Warren/Tulane tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in May, 2012. There was no gain realized on the sale of bonds in 2013.

Other income.  Other income recognized in 2013 is a guarantee fee received from the General Partner owner of the Ohio Properties (see Note 9). There was no other income recognized in 2012.

Real estate operating expenses. The increase in real estate operating expenses was partly due to approximately $984,000 of real estate operating expenses related to Maples on 97th which was acquired in August 2012 and Woodland Park which became an MF Property effective June 1, 2013 (see Note 7). Glynn Place reported approximately $110,000 of additional repair expenses for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012. Arboretum, Eagle Village, and Weatherford reported approximately $275,000 greater real estate taxes when comparing the first nine months of 2013 to the same period in 2012. The remaining increase was related to the existing MF Properties normal operating increases in salaries, utilities, insurance and repair and maintenance expenses.

Realized loss on taxable property loan. In June 2013, the Partnership redeemed its interest in the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond for approximately $21.9 million. This redemption resulted in the realization of approximately $4.6 million loss on a taxable property loan. There was no realized loss on taxable property loans reported in the first nine months of 2012.

Provision for loan loss. The Company periodically, or as changes in circumstances or operations dictate, evaluates its investments for impairment. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company determined a portion of the taxable property loans were potentially impaired and an additional provision for loan loss should be recorded.   A provision for loan loss and an associated loan loss reserve of $168,000 was recorded against the Cross Creek taxable property loan in the third quarter of 2013. There was no provision for loan loss or associated loan loss reserve in the first nine months of 2012.

Provision for loss on receivables. A provision for loss was recorded on the interest receivable from the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond until the foreclosure was completed on May 29, 2013. Any cash receipts of interest income was recorded as received.

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation results primarily from the apartment properties of the MF Properties. Amortization consists of in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the acquisition-method of accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties and deferred finance cost amortization related to the closing of the TEBS and TOB Credit Facilities. Approximately $1.3 million of the increase in depreciation and amortization expense from the first nine months of 2012 to the first nine months of 2013 is related to Woodland Park which became an MF property effective June 1, 2013, Maples on 97th which was acquired at the end of August 2012, the additional depreciation recorded once the Residences at Weatherford's construction was completed and placed in service in second quarter of 2012, and the additional depreciation recorded once the Residences of DeCordova's new unit construction was completed in the third quarter of 2012. The remaining increase is related to the additional amortization expense reported on the Partnership's financing.

Interest expense. The net increase in interest expense during the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012 was due to offsetting factors. An increase of approximately $2.0 million resulted from higher average outstanding debt principal when comparing the first nine months of 2013 to the first nine months of 2012. An approximate $751,000 decrease between the two nine month periods resulted from the change in the mark to market adjustment of the Company's derivatives. These interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense. In addition, a decrease of approximately $244,000 resulted from a decrease in interest rates. The Company's borrowing cost decreased to approximately 2.5% per annum for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to approximately 2.7% per annum in the first nine months of 2012.

63

General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to offsetting factors. An approximate $492,000 is related to increased administrative fees payable to AFCA 2 related to the acquisition of the Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, MBS, and the Arbors at Hickory Ridge Apartments, Vantage at Judson, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, Avistar at the Crest, Renaissance Apartments, Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), Avistar in 09 (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), and Vantage at Harlingen Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The remaining increase is comprised of increased professional fees, printing expenses and travel expenses during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to third quarter 2012 offset by incentive compensation recorded in 2012 which did not recur in 2013.

Income from discontinued operations. The majority of the increase is attributable to the gain of approximately $1.8 million from the recognition of the sale of the Ohio Properties and approximately $1.4 million from the recognition of the sale of the Greens Property in the first nine months of 2013. The Company sold Churchland during third quarter of 2012 and recognized a gain of approximately $1.3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Tax-exempt interest earned on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, including those financing properties held by Consolidated VIEs, and tax-exempt investment income earned on the PHC Certificates and the MBS represents the Partnership's principal source of cash flow.  The Partnership may also receive interest payments on its taxable property loans, earnings on temporary investments and cash distributions from equity interests held in MF Properties.  Tax-exempt interest is primarily comprised of base interest payments received on the Partnership’s tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, PHC Certificates and MBS.  Certain of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds may also generate payments of contingent interest to the Partnership from time to time when the underlying apartment properties generate excess cash flow.  Because base interest on each of the Partnership’s tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and MBS is fixed, the Partnership’s cash receipts tend to be fairly constant quarter to quarter unless the Partnership acquires or disposes of its investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  Changes in the economic performance of the properties financed by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds with a contingent interest provision will affect the amount of contingent interest, if any, paid to the Partnership. 

Similarly, the economic performance of MF Properties will affect the amount of cash distributions, if any, received by the Partnership from its ownership of these properties.  The economic performance of a multifamily apartment property depends on the rental and occupancy rates of the property and on the level of operating expenses.  Occupancy rates and rents are directly affected by the supply of, and demand for, apartments in the market area in which a property is located. This, in turn, is affected by several factors such as local or national economic conditions, the amount of new apartment construction and the affordability of single-family homes.  In addition, factors such as government regulation (such as zoning laws), inflation, real estate and other taxes, labor problems and natural disasters can affect the economic operations of an apartment property.  The primary uses of cash by apartment properties are the payment of operating expenses and debt service.

Other sources of cash available to the Partnership include proceeds from debt financing, mortgages, and the sale of additional Beneficial Unit Certificates ("BUCs").  The Company currently has outstanding debt financing of $226.6 million under separate credit facilities and mortgages of $51.8 million secured by eight MF Properties.

In June 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, and Avistar at the Crest Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The amount borrowed and the balance at September 30, 2013 was $20.0 million. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum plus a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS of approximately .4% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.5%. The facility matures in June 2014 (see Note 10).

In April 2013, the Company borrowed approximately $7.8 million through a sixth securitization of the MBS TOB Trust with a par value of approximately $10.0 million. On the date of closing the total fixed MBS TOB Trust fee was approximately .9% per annum and the variable rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS of approximately .3% which is tied to SIFMA resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.2%. This MBS TOB Trust matures in February 2014 (see Note 10).

In April 2013, the Company executed an interest-only loan to borrow up to $25.5 million for a three year term at a variable interest rate secured by the student housing complex in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Company also secured a $4.3 million tax-incremental financing loan which is for a term of five years, carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 4.7% per annum, requires principal payments commencing after 24 months and has a balloon payment due at maturity. The Company has borrowed approximately $1.8 million on the three year term facility as of September 30, 2013 (see Notes 11 and 16).

64

In March 2013, the Partnership obtained a $10.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit. This revolving line of credit carries a variable interest rate which was approximately 3.5% at the date of closing and matures in March 2014. On September 30, 2013, the Partnership reported an approximate $7.5 million balance at an approximate 3.5% interest rate (see Note 10). This line of credit will be utilized to help with short-term working capital needs and to fund new investments during the periods of time that Company is working with its lender to finalize new TOB financings of assets.

In March 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Arbors at Hickory Ridge tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The amount borrowed on date of closing and on September 30, 2013 was $7.0 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA maturing in February 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately .5% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.6% (see Note 10).

In February 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Greens Property tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The amount borrowed was approximately $5.8 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA maturing in December 2013. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately .5% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.6%. The outstanding balance was $5.7 million at September 30, 2013 (see Note 10).

In February 2013, the Partnership obtained a debt facility secured by the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond with total available borrowings of up to $6.0 million. Any borrowed amount carried a fixed interest rate of 5.0% per annum and the facility had a stated maturity of February 25, 2014. On June 29, 2013 the Partnership retired this debt facility (see Note 10).

In January 2013, the Company borrowed approximately $2.0 million through a TOB securitizing state issued MBS with a par value of approximately $2.5 million. At the date of closing this borrowing carried a total fixed MBS TOB Trust fee of approximately .9% per annum plus a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA of approximately .3% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.2%. This facility matures in April 2014 (see Note 10).

As of September 30, 2013, the total costs of borrowing by investment type are:

• range between approximately 1.0% and 1.3% for the MBS TOB Trusts

• 2.3% for the PHC Trust Certificates TOB Trusts

• range between approximately 2.0% and 2.5% for the TOB Trusts securitized by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds: and

• 3.6% per annum for the revolving line of credit.

In addition to the debt facilities, the Company has eight outstanding mortgage loans collaterized by eight MF Properties. The total outstanding mortgage loan principal is approximately $51.8 million. These mortgages carry current interest rates ranging from 2.8% to 5.9% with maturity dates ranging from March 2014 to February 2017 (see Note 11).

In September 2013, the Partnership executed a $7.0 million promissory note related to the Woodland Park property. This promissory note carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.8% per annum plus 30-day LIBOR which was approximately .2%, resulting in approximately 3.0% at the date of closing and September 30, 2013. The Partnership has borrowed approximately $6.0 million as of September 30, 2013 and the facility matures in March 2014 (see Note 11).

In February 2013, the Partnership obtained a $7.5 million loan secured by the Maples on 97th property. This loan is with an unrelated third party bank and carries a fixed annual interest rate of approximately 3.6% per annum through June 30, 2013 switching to approximately 4.4% per annum on July 1, 2013, maturing on February 10, 2016. Title to the Maples on 97th property also transferred to the Partnership from the EAT (Maples on 97th) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of an unrelated title company) in February 2013 (see Note 11).

The Partnership is authorized to issue additional BUCs to raise additional equity capital to fund investment opportunities.  In May 2012, the Partnership issued an additional 12,650,000 BUC's through an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $5.06 per BUC. Net proceeds realized by the Partnership from the issuance of these BUCs were approximately $60.0 million after payment of an underwriter's discount and other offering costs of approximately $4.0 million.

65

The Partnership’s principal uses of cash are the payment of distributions to unitholders, interest and principal on debt financing, and general and administrative expenses. The Partnership also uses cash to acquire additional investments.  Distributions to unitholders may increase or decrease at the determination of the General Partner.  The per unit cash available for distribution primarily depends on the amount of interest and other cash received by the Partnership from its portfolio of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and other investments, the amount of the Partnership's outstanding debt and the effective interest rates paid by the Partnership on this debt, the level of operating and other cash expenses incurred by the Partnership and the number of units outstanding. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership generated cash available for distribution of $0.09 and $0.34 per unit, respectively, as compared to a distribution of $0.125 and $0.375 per unit, respectively. See “Cash Available for Distribution,” after the next section heading. The General Partner believes that upon completion of its current investment and financing plans, the Partnership will be able to meet its liquidity requirements, including the payment of expenses, interest on its debt financing, and cash distributions to unitholders at the current level of $0.50 per unit per year without the use of unrestricted cash. However, if actual results vary from current projections and the actual CAD generated is less than the new regular distribution, such distribution amount may need to be reduced.

The Partnership's operating policy is to use securitizations or other forms of leverage to maintain a level of debt financing between 40% and 60% of the total par value of the Partnership's tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond portfolio.   As of September 30, 2013, the total par value of the Partnership's total bond portfolio is approximately $235.7 million. The outstanding debt financing arrangements securitized with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds include the four TOB facilities with DB and the TEBS financing agreement with Freddie Mac. These debt financing arrangements have an outstanding balance of $135.8 million in total as of September 30, 2013.  This calculates to a leverage ratio of 58%.  The Partnership's operating policy is to use securitizations or other forms of leverage to maintain a level of debt financing between 60% and 80% of the total par value of the Partnership's other tax-exempt investments. The Partnership also has nine outstanding PHC and MBS TOB facilities at September 30, 2013, which have total outstanding borrowings of $83.2 million. These are securitizations of its PHC Certificates and MBS. The par value of its PHC Certificates and MBS is $108.6 million, which calculates to a leverage ratio of 77%. Additionally, the MF Properties are encumbered by mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $51.8 million.  These mortgage loans mature at various times from March 2014 through February 2017 (see Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements). The debt financing plus mortgage loans total of $278.4 million results in a leverage ratio to Partnership Total Assets of 60%.

The Consolidated VIEs’ and MF Properties' primary sources of cash are net rental revenues generated by their real estate investments. Net rental revenues from a multifamily apartment property depend on the rental and occupancy rates of the property and on the level of operating expenses. Occupancy rates and rents are directly affected by the supply of, and demand for, apartments in the market area in which a property is located. This, in turn, is affected by several factors such as local or national economic conditions, the amount of new apartment construction and the affordability of single-family homes. In addition, factors such as government regulation (such as zoning laws), inflation, real estate and other taxes, labor problems and natural disasters can affect the economic operations of an apartment property.

The Consolidated VIEs’ and MF Properties' primary uses of cash are the payment of operating expenses and the payment of debt service.

66

On a consolidated basis, cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately $7.3 million for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012 due to the increase in income from continuing operations and changes in working capital components.  Cash used for investing activities increased approximately $22.8 million for first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012. In the first nine months of 2013 the Company used approximately $100.5 million for the purchase of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and related taxable bonds, MBS, addition to restricted cash related to investments, interest rate derivative, and renovations on the MF Properties. Offsetting the use of cash, the Company received approximately $2.5 million from the release of construction restricted cash in connection with the Greens Property, approximately $4.0 million in net cash related to the realization of the Ohio Properties sale, approximately $21.9 million from the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond redemption, and approximately $1.8 million from principal repayments related to investments. In the first nine months of 2012 the Company used approximately $86.4 million for the purchase of the Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates, the purchase of Arbors at Hickory Ridge tax-exempt revenue bond, the purchase of the Maples on 97th property, and the renovations on the MF Properties. Offsetting the use of cash, the Company received approximately $33.1 million from the sale of the GMF-Madison Tower and GMF-Warren/Tulane tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, the sale of the Churchland property, and the release of restricted cash that had originally been restricted in connection with the TEBS financing arrangement. The Company had approximately $38.2 million less cash available from financing activities for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012.  Financing cash flows in the first nine months of 2013 included approximately $50.0 million of cash from the TOB Trust and Line of Credit borrowings and $15.3 million of cash from borrowing on Maples on 97th, Woodland Park and the University of Lincoln mixed use project, offset by the use of cash to pay distributions and principal payments on debt. Financing cash flows in the first nine months of 2012 included approximately $60.0 million of cash from the equity raise in second quarter 2012 and approximately $52.8 million from the PCH TOB Trust borrowing, offset by the use of cash to pay off the GMF Warren/Tulane TOB facility and the mortgage on the Churchland property which was sold.

Market Opportunities and Challenges

We believe the current credit environment continues to create opportunities to acquire existing tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds from distressed holders at attractive yields.  The Partnership continues to evaluate potential investments in bonds which are available on the secondary market.  We believe many of these bonds will meet our investment criteria and that we have a unique ability to analyze and close on these opportunities while maintaining our ability and willingness to also participate in primary market transactions.

Current credit and real estate market conditions also create opportunities to acquire quality MF Properties from distressed owners and lenders.  Our ability to restructure existing debt together with the ability to improve the operations of the apartment properties through our affiliated property management company can position these MF Properties for an eventual financing with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  We believe we can selectively acquire MF Properties, restructure debt and improve operations in order to create value to our unitholders in the form of a strong tax-exempt bond investment.

On the other hand, continued economic weakness in some markets may limit our ability to access additional debt financing that the Partnership uses to partially finance its investment portfolio or otherwise meet its liquidity requirements.  In addition, the economic conditions including slow job growth and low home mortgage interest rates have had a negative effect on some of the apartment properties which collateralize our tax-exempt bond investments and our MF Properties in the form of lower occupancy.

While some properties have been negatively affected, overall economic occupancy (which is adjusted to reflect rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units) of the apartment properties that the Partnership has financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds was approximately 87% for the first nine months of 2013 and approximately 88% for the first nine months of 2012.  Overall economic occupancy of the MF Properties was approximately 82% for the first nine months of 2013 and approximately 76% for the first nine months of 2012. Based on the growth statistics in the markets these property operate, we expect to see modest improvement in property operations and profitability.

Increases in interest rates on investment-grade rated tax-exempt municipal debt securities resulted in a decrease in the estimated valuation of the Company's mortgage revenue bonds, public housing capital fund trusts, and mortgage-backed securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. As such, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of approximately $24 million in other comprehensive income for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company has the intent and the ability to own all of its available for sale securities until final maturity. The Company will continue to monitor the estimated valuation of these available for sale securities as well as the availability and terms of it's current debt financing facilities to ensure that it has the ability to own these securities through final maturity.

67

Cash Available for Distribution

Management utilizes a calculation of Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) as a means to determine the Partnership’s ability to make distributions to unitholders.  The General Partner believes that CAD provides relevant information about its operations and is necessary along with net income for understanding its operating results.  To calculate CAD, the Partnership adds back non-cash expenses consisting of amortization expense related to debt financing costs and bond reissuance costs, interest rate derivative expense or income, provision for loan losses, impairments on bonds, losses related to VIEs including depreciation expense, and income received in cash from transactions which have been eliminated in consolidation, to the Partnership’s net income (loss) as computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and deducts Tier 2 income attributable to the General Partner as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership,. Net income is the GAAP measure most comparable to CAD. There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and the Partnership’s computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies.  Although the Company considers CAD to be a useful measure of its operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure that should not be considered as an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities which are calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

In July 2013, the Company recognized the sale of the Greens Property. The Company was required to follow the deposit method of accounting and had to defer to the gain until sufficient equity was invested by the new unaffiliated owners (which occurred in July 2013). Tax-exempt mortgage interest income of approximately $135,000 was received by the Partnership between October 2012 and December 31, 2012 and reported in 2012 CAD, and as such, the amount was reversed in the first nine months of the 2013 CAD calculation. An additional approximately $330,000 was received between January 1, 2013 and June 30, 2013 and reported within the first and second quarterl CAD in 2013. As such, approximately $465,000 of CAD is being reversed out in the third quarter of 2013 calculation of CAD.

CAD for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included income from certain transactions which may not recur in future quarters as detailed in the following paragraphs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Partnership reported $0.34 of CAD per unit which includes $0.065 of CAD per unit (approximately $2.8 million of CAD) from the redemption of the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and interest and other income recognized from the Ohio Properties.

In June 2013, the Partnership redeemed the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and realized approximately $6.5 million in contingent tax-exempt interest. This was offset by approximately $4.6 million in a realized taxable property loan loss. As such, a net gain of approximately $1.9 million is included in the net income before impact of VIE consolidation for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to this redemption (see Note 4). This net gain met the definition of Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest (Tier 2 income) and was distributed 75% to the unitholders and 25% to the General Partner in the third quarter of 2013.

During June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby the Ohio Properties were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity (see Notes 2 and 9). The Company was required to follow the deposit method of accounting and had to defer to the gain until sufficient equity was invested into the Ohio Properties by the new unaffiliated owners. That equity was contributed and the gain was recognized in the consolidated financial statements during the first nine months of 2013. As there were no on-going legal obligations related to the Ohio Properties or potential obligation to repay any sales proceeds, the deferred gain was shown as an addition in the CAD Calculation in 2010. Therefore the gain has been reversed in the first nine months of 2013 CAD calculation. This gain met the definition of Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest (Tier 2 income) and was distributed 75% to the unitholders and 25% to the General Partner in 2010.

In addition to realizing the gain on sale of discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements, the recognition of the sale of the Ohio Properties also allowed the Company to 1) realize approximately $4.2 million of tax-exempt interest income on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, 2) recognize approximately $1.1 million of taxable interest income on taxable property loans receivable it holds with the Ohio Properties, and 3) realize a $250,000 guarantee fee from the general partner owner of the Ohio Properties all in the first nine months of 2013 (see Notes 2 and 9). Tax-exempt mortgage interest income of $3.5 million of the $4.2 million had been previously received by the Partnership and reported in CAD, and as such, the amount was reversed in the first nine months of the 2013 CAD calculation.

68

Distributions

The Partnership has made an annual cash distribution of $0.50 per unit since 2009. Since realized CAD per unit in 2012 was less than the amount necessary to make distributions at the annual rate $0.50 per unit, the Partnership used approximately $5.8 million of unrestricted cash to supplement the deficit in 2012. The Partnership has historically supplemented its cash available for distribution with unrestricted cash when necessary and expects to continue to do so until the Partnership is able to complete its current investment and financing plans. The General Partner has identified a pipeline of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which it began to acquire in first nine months of 2013 and is actively performing due diligence on the remaining tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds to ensure they meet the Partnership's investment criteria. During the first nine months of 2013, the Partnership acquired tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds with an approximate par value of $72.8 million and additional MBS with an approximate par value of $12.5 million. The General Partner is also working with the Partnership's primary lender to finance a portion of the acquisition of these bonds and believes that upon completion of its current investment plans, the Partnership will be able to generate sufficient CAD to maintain cash distributions to unitholders at the current level of $0.50 per unit per year without the use of other available cash. However, there is no assurance that the Partnership will be able to generate CAD at levels in excess of the current annual distribution rate. In that case, the annual distribution rate per unit may need to be reduced.

The following tables show the calculation of CAD for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	For Three Months Ended September 30, 2013			For Three Months Ended September 30, 2012			For Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013			For Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

⁽¹⁾ The Partnership sold the Greens Property in conjunction with the purchase of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the property. The sales price approximated the 2009 property purchase price and therefore the gain from the sale of the property related entirely to depreciation recapture. For this reason, the General Partner concluded that the gain should be excluded from the calculation of CAD.

⁽²⁾ As described in Note 2 to the 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 unitholders and 25% to the General Partner. This adjustment represents the 25% of Tier 2 income due to the General Partner. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company realized approximately $1.9 million in Tier 2 income from the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond redemption. The Company determined that the approximate $1.8 million gain from the sale of the Ohio Properties was Tier 2 income in 2010, the year in which the Ohio Properties were sold to the unaffiliated not-for-profit. As such, 25% of that gain was distributed to AFCA 2 in 2010 and there was no Tier 2 income reported in 2013 related to the Ohio Properties.

69

⁽³⁾ The developer income amount represents cash received by the Partnership for developer and construction management services performed on the University of Nebraska - Lincoln mixed-use project.  The development under construction at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln is accounted for as an MF property and the cash received for these fees has been eliminated within the consolidated financial statements.  For purposes of CAD, management is treating these fees as if received from an unconsolidated entity. 

Contractual Obligations

As discussed in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K, the debt and mortgage obligations of the Company consist of scheduled principal payments on the TOB financing facilities, the TEBS credit facility with Freddie Mac, and payments on the MF Property mortgages.

The Partnership has the following contractual obligations as of September 30, 2013:

	Payments due by period
			Less than			1-3			3-5			More than 5
	Total		1 year			years			years			years

(1) Interest rates shown are the average effective rates as of September 30, 2013 and include the impact of our interest rate derivatives.

(2) Interest shown is estimated based upon current effective interest rates through maturity.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which adds additional disclosure requirements for significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2013 and only impacted disclosure requirements and did not have any effect on the operating results or financial condition of the Partnership.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in market risk, except as discussed below, from the information provided under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 7A of the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In order to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rate TEBS Financing, the Partnership entered into interest rate cap agreements with Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of New York Mellon and Royal Bank of Canada, each in an initial notional amount of  approximately $31.9 million which effectively limits the interest payable by the Company on the TEBS Financing to a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum on the combined notional amounts of the interest rate cap agreements through August 2017.  The interest rate cap plus the Facility Fees result in a maximum potential cost of borrowing on the TEBS Financing of 4.9% per annum.  

The following table outlines the interest rate caps the Company has in place as of September 30, 2013:

			Effective		Maturity	Purchase
Date Purchased	Notional Amount		Capped Rate		Date	Price		Counterparty
September 2, 2010	31,936,667		3	%	September 1, 2017	921,000		Bank of New York Mellon
September 2, 2010	31,936,667		3	%	September 1, 2017	845,600		Barclays Bank PLC
September 2, 2010	31,936,667		3	%	September 1, 2017	928,000		Royal Bank of Canada
August 15, 2013	$	93,305,000	1.5	%	September 1, 2017	$	793,000	Deutsche Bank

70

On July 30, 2013, the Company purchased a new interest rate derivative with a notional amount of $93.3 million which represents the amount outstanding on the TEBS financing facility at August 1, 2013.  The maturity date of this interest rate derivative is September 1, 2017 and the effective capped interest rate is 1.5%.  On July 30, 2013, the Company also sold a new interest rate derivative to the same counterparty which had the same notional amount of $93.3 million and an effective capped interest rate of 3.0%.  The total cost of these two interest rate derivatives was approximately $800,000 and the derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and therefore, changes in the estimated fair value of the interest rate derivatives are included in earnings.  This interest rate corridor transaction effectively reduced the capped interest rate from 3.0% to 1.5% on the TEBS financing facility through the maturity date of the interest rate derivative contracts.

These interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense. The change in the fair value of these derivative contracts resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $440,000 and $304,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The change in the fair value of these derivative contracts resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $275,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

71

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  The Partnership's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership's current disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Partnership's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.  The Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there were no changes in the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Partnership’s most recent fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Discontinued Operations [Abstract]

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]

Discontinued Operations

In June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby the Ohio Properties were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity and in October 2011, the three limited partnerships that own the Ohio Properties admitted two entities that are affiliates of BC Partners as new limited partners as part of a syndication of LIHTCs. The BC Partners agreed to contribute equity to these limited partnerships, subject to the Ohio Properties meeting certain debt service coverage ratios specified in the applicable limited partnership agreements. As such, there was not sufficient equity invested at closing by the not-for-profit or BC Partners into the Ohio Properties to allow the Company to recognize a real estate sale for accounting purposes. During the first quarter of 2013, BC Partners contributed $6.5 million of capital into the Ohio Properties which was sufficient to allow the Company to recognize the sale for accounting purposes. This gain on sale of discontinued operations was approximately $1.8 million. The sale of this discontinued operation allowed the Company to begin reporting the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds related to the Ohio Properties as assets beginning with the March 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements.

The deposit method of accounting for real estate sales required both the deferral of the gain from the real estate sale and also did not allow recognition of the tax-exempt interest payments by the Ohio Properties to the Company between June 2010 and the date of the equity contribution by BC Partners. In conjunction with the recognition of the real estate sale, approximately $3.5 million of tax-exempt interest has been recognized within investment income in the first nine months of 2013 which represents the tax-exempt interest payments received from the Ohio Properties between June 2010 and December 2012. In addition, the Partnership reported approximately $1.1 million in taxable note interest income received from the Ohio Properties and $250,000 guarantee fee from the general partner of the Ohio Properties during the first quarter of 2013 (Note 2). The Ohio Properties contributed approximately $142,000 and $400,000 to income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

In October 2012, the limited partnership that owns the Greens Property admitted two entities that are affiliates of BC Partners as new limited partners as part of a syndication of LIHTCs on the Greens Property. Prior to the execution of the admittance of the new limited partners, the Company had entered into an agreement to sell the Greens Property for approximately $7.3 million to an unaffiliated not-for-profit which is the general partner of the limited partnership that now owns the Greens Property.  That sale was conditional on securing the tax-exempt bond and low-income housing tax credits from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency.  The $961,000 BC Partners equity contribution made into this limited partnership in October 2012 was not sufficient to allow the Company to recognize a real estate sale for accounting purposes. In July 2013, BC Partners made their required $800,000 capital contribution into the Greens Property as construction was 75% complete.

The Company purchased 100% of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued as part of the agreement to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Greens Property. The Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond has approximately $8.5 million par value and bear interest at 6.5% per annum. The Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond has a $950,000 par value and bears interest at 12.0% per annum. Both series of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds mature in October 1, 2047. The Company also obtained an $850,000 taxable property loan secured by the Greens Property at closing. 

The July 2013 equity payment provided sufficient invested equity to recognize a real estate sale for accounting purposes and the Company recorded the sale of this discontinued operation. This gain on sale of discontinued operations was approximately $1.4 million. The deposit method of accounting for real estate sales required both the deferral of the gain from the real estate sale and also did not allow recognition of the tax-exempt interest payments by the Greens Property to the Company between October 2012 and the July 2013, the date of the second equity contribution by BC Partners. In conjunction with the recognition of the real estate sale, approximately $523,000 of tax-exempt interest has been recognized within investment income in the third quarter of 2013 which represents the tax-exempt interest payments received from the Greens Property between October 2012 and July 31, 2013. The net fixed assets and total assets of the Greens Property were approximately $12.2 million at December 31, 2012. The Greens Property contributed a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $59,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and an approximately $6,000 in income for three months ended September 30, 2012, and approximately $265,000 and $32,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Eagle Ridge property was sold in November 2012 and resulted in the property being reported as a discontinued operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. As such, there were no assets of the Eagle Ridge property reported as discontinued operations at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. Eagle Ridge contributed approximately $40,000 and $106,000 to income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The Commons at Churchland property was sold in August 2012 which resulted in the property being reported as a discontinued operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. As such, there were no assets of the Churchland property reported as discontinued operations at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. Churchland contributed approximately $62,000 and $198,000 to income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

There were no assets and liabilities of discontinued operations to report at September 30, 2013. The following represents the components of the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations at December 31, 2012.

Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions [Abstract]

Partnership Income Expenses and Cash Distributions [Text Block]

Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions

The Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership contains provisions for the distribution of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, for the allocation of income or loss from operations and for the allocation of income and loss arising from a repayment, sale, or liquidation of investments.  Income and losses will be allocated to each unitholder on a periodic basis, as determined by the General Partner, based on the number of BUCs held by each unitholder as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is to be made. Distributions of Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds will be made to each unitholder of record on the last day of each distribution period based on the number of BUCs held by each unitholder as of such date. For purposes of the Agreement of Limited Partnership, cash distributions, if any, received by the Partnership from its indirect interest in MF Properties (Note 7) will be included in the Partnership’s Interest Income and cash distributions received by the Partnership from the sale of such properties will be included in the Partnership Residual Proceeds.

Cash distributions are currently made on a quarterly basis but may be made on a monthly or semiannual basis at the election of AFCA 2.  On each distribution date, Net Interest Income is distributed 99% to the unitholders and 1% to AFCA 2 and Net Residual Proceeds are distributed 100% to unitholders except that Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest in an amount equal to 0.9% per annum of the principal amount of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds on a cumulative basis (defined as Net Interest Income (Tier 2) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 2), respectively) are distributed 75% to the unitholders and 25% to AFCA 2.

In June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby four of the MF Properties, Crescent Village, Post Woods (I and II), and Willow Bend apartments in Ohio (the “Ohio Properties”), were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity and in October 2011, the three limited partnerships that own the Ohio Properties admitted two entities that are affiliates of Boston Capital ("BC Partners") as new limited partners as part of a syndication of LIHTCs. The Company acquired 100% of the $18.3 million tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency as part of a plan of financing for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Ohio Properties. The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Ohio Properties were acquired by the Company at par and consisted of two series. The Series A bond had a par value of $14.7 million and bears interest at an annual rate of 7.0%. The Series B bond had a par value of $3.6 million and bears interest at an annual interest rate of 10.0%. Both series of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds mature in June 2050. The BC Partners agreed to contribute equity to these limited partnerships, subject to the Ohio Properties meeting certain debt service coverage ratios specified in the applicable limited partnership agreements. As such, there was not sufficient equity invested at closing by the not-for-profit or BC Partners into the Ohio Properties to allow the Company to recognize a real estate sale.

During the first quarter of 2013, BC Partners contributed $6.5 million of capital into the Ohio Properties which was sufficient to allow the Company to recognize the sale pursuant to the accounting guidance. The Company determined that the approximate $1.8 million gain from the sale of the Ohio Properties was Tier 2 income in 2010, the year in which the Ohio Properties were sold to the unaffiliated not-for-profit. As such, 25% of that gain was distributed to AFCA 2 in 2010 and there was no Tier 2 income reported in 2013 related to the Ohio Properties.

The deposit method of accounting for real estate sales required both the deferral of the gain from the real estate sale and also did not allow recognition of the tax-exempt interest payments by the Ohio Properties to the Company between June 2010 and the date of the equity contribution by BC Partners. In conjunction with the recognition of the real estate sale, approximately $3.5 million of tax-exempt interest was recognized within investment income in the first quarter of 2013 which represents the tax-exempt interest payments received from the Ohio Properties between June 2010 and December 2012. In addition, the Partnership reported approximately $1.1 million in taxable note interest income and $250,000 guarantee fee from the general partner of the Ohio Properties during the first quarter of 2013 (Note 9). The deposit method of accounting also deferred the recognition of the sale of the the Ohio Properties and the purchase of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds they secure in the consolidated statement of cash flows. As such, these transactions were recognized in the consolidated statement of cash flows in 2013.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]

are frequently covered by insurance. If it has been determined that a loss is probable to occur, the estimated amount of the loss is accrued in the consolidated financial statements. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Certain of the MF Properties own apartment properties that generated LIHTCs for the previous partners in these partnerships.  In connection with the acquisition of partnership interests in these partnerships by subsidiaries of the Company, the Company has agreed to reimburse the prior partners for any liabilities they incur due to recapture of these tax credits to the extent the recapture liability is due to the operation of the properties in a manner inconsistent with the laws and regulations relating to such tax credits after the date of acquisition. No amount has been accrued for this contingent liability because management believes that the likelihood of any payments being required there under is remote.

In connection with the sale of the Greens Property, the Company entered into guarantee agreements with the BC Partners under which the Company has guaranteed certain obligations of the general partner of the Greens of Pine Glen limited partnership, including an obligation to repurchase the interests of the BC Partners if certain “repurchase events” occur. A repurchase event is defined as any one of a number of events mainly focused on the completion of the property rehabilitation, property rent stabilization, the delivery of LIHTCs, tax credit recapture and foreclosure. No amount has been accrued for this contingent liability because the likelihood of a repurchase event is remote. The maximum exposure to the Company at September 30, 2013, under the guarantee provision of the repurchase clause is approximately $1.3 million which represents 75% of the equity contributed by BC Partners to date.

In connection with the Ohio Properties transaction in 2011, the Company entered into guarantee agreements with the BC Partners under which the Company has guaranteed certain obligations of the general partner of these limited partnerships, including an obligation to repurchase the interests of the BC Partners if certain “repurchase events” occur. A repurchase event is defined as any one of a number of events mainly focused on the completion of the property rehabilitation, property rent stabilization, the delivery of LIHTCs, tax credit recapture and foreclosure. Even if a repurchase event should occur, 25% of the BC equity would remain in the Ohio Properties and thus BC, a third party, would have sufficient equity in the Ohio Properties for the Company to recognize the sale discussed in Note 9. No amount has been accrued for this contingent liability because the likelihood of a repurchase event is remote. The maximum exposure to the Company at September 30, 2013, under the guarantee provision of the repurchase clause is approximately $4.9 million which represents 75% of the equity contributed by BC Partners.

In March 2013, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company executed a 35-year ground lease with the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (“Lessor”) with an annual lease payment of $100. The leased property will have a mixed-use development consisting of a 1,605 stall parking garage and 475 bed student housing complex constructed on it. The Lessor will own the parking garage and the Company will own the student housing. The Company currently estimates the construction of the student housing will cost approximately $34.0 million and executed a guaranteed maximum price contract with the general contractor for the construction. The lease agreement has a stipulation that if the parking garage is not completed by August 1, 2014, the Company will pay damages of $6,000 per day of delayed completion to the Lessor. The Company's construction contract with the general contractor also stipulates that the general contractor will pay the Company $6,000 per day of liquidated damages for each day subsequent to August 1, 2014 that the parking garage is not completed. Construction has commenced and is estimated to be completed before the August 1, 2014 deadline.

To finance the construction of the student housing complex, the Company has executed an interest-only loan to borrow up to $25.5 million for a three year term at a variable interest rate. The Company also secured $4.3 million tax-incremental financing loan which is for a term of five years, carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 4.7% per annum, requires principal payments commencing after 24 months and has a balloon payment due at maturity. The Company has borrowed approximately $1.8 million on the first facility as of September 30, 2013 (Notes 7 and 11).

In June 2013, the Partnership executed a Bond Purchase Commitment agreeing to purchase an $8.0 million new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and a $500,000 taxable bond both secured by a multifamily property under construction in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The tax-exempt bond will have a stated annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum, the taxable bond will have a stated rate of 12% per annum, and bond proceeds must be used to pay off the third party construction loan. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the change in estimated fair value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership has estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $560,000.

The Partnership has also executed a Guarantee Agreement with the construction lender for this Albuquerque project. The terms of the Guarantee Agreement requires the Partnership to guarantee that all construction costs are paid when due and pay any remaining outstanding principal and unpaid interest on the construction loan on or before July 1, 2015. Construction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015 when the Partnership anticipates purchasing the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and taxable bond. No amounts have been accrued for this Guarantee Agreement as the Partnership expects that the construction loan will be sufficient to pay all costs during the construction period and that the proceeds from the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond, taxable bond, and third party equity contribution to be sufficient to pay off all outstanding principal and interest on the construction loan on or before July 1, 2015.

As the holder of residual interests issued in connection with its TEBS and TOB bond financing arrangements, the Partnership is required to guarantee certain losses that can be incurred by the trusts created in connection with these financings. These guarantees may result from a downgrade in the investment rating of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the trust or of the senior securities issued by the trust, a ratings downgrade of the liquidity provider for the trust, increases in short term interest rates beyond pre-set maximums, an inability to re-market the senior securities or an inability to obtain liquidity for the trust. In each of these cases, the trust will be collapsed. If the proceeds from the sale of the trust collateral are not sufficient to pay the principal amount of the senior securities with accrued interest and the other expenses of the trusts, the Partnership will be required to fund any such shortfall pursuant to its guarantee.

Debt Disclosure [Text Block]

Debt Financing

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company reported outstanding debt financing of approximately $226.6 million and approximately $177.9 million, respectively, under separate credit facilities.

Other Financings

In March 2013, the Partnership obtained a $10.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit. This revolving line of credit carries a variable interest rate which was approximately 3.5% at date of closing and matures in March 2014. On September 30, 2013, the Partnership reported an approximate $7.5 million balance at an approximate 3.5% interest rate. This line of credit is utilized to help with short-term working capital needs and to fund new investments during the periods of time that Company is working with its lender to finalize new TOB financings of assets.

In February 2013, the Partnership obtained a debt facility secured by the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond with total available borrowings of up to $6.0 million. Any borrowed amount carried a fixed interest rate of 5.0% per annum and matured on February 25, 2014. On June 29, 2013 the Partnership retired this debt facility.

In July 2011, the Company executed a Master Trust Agreement with DB which allows the Company to execute multiple Tender Option Bond ("TOB Trust") structures upon the approval and agreement of terms by DB. Under each TOB Trust structure issued through the Master Trust Agreement, the TOB trustee issues SPEARS and LIFERS. Theses SPEARS and LIFERS represent beneficial interests in the securitized asset held by the TOB trustee. The Company will purchase the LIFERS from each of these TOB Trusts which will grant them certain rights to the securitized assets. The Master Trust Agreement with DB has covenants with which the Company is required to maintain compliance. At September 30, 2013, the most restrictive covenant was that cash available to distribute for the trailing twelve months must be at least two times trailing twelve month interest expense. The Company was in compliance with all of these covenants as of September 30, 2013. If the Company were to be out of compliance with any of these covenants, it would trigger a termination event of the financing facilities. The Company expects to renew each of the TOB financing facilities for another one year term at its discretion per the terms of the agreements. DB can require the posting of cash collateral under the terms of the Master Trust Agreement.

In June 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, and Avistar at the Crest Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The amount borrowed was $20.0 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA. The facility matures in June 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the variable rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately 0.4% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.5%. The outstanding balance remains at $20.0 million on September 30, 2013.

In March 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Arbors at Hickory Ridge tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The amount borrowed was $7.0 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA maturing in February 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the variable rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately .5% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.6%. The outstanding balance remains at $7.0 million on September 30, 2013.

In February 2013, the Company executed a new TOB Trust under its credit facility with DB securitizing the Greens Property tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The amount borrowed was approximately $5.8 million with a variable interest rate tied to SIFMA maturing in December 2013. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB trust fee was approximately 2.1% per annum and the variable rate paid on the TOB Trust on the SPEARS was approximately .5% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.6%. The outstanding balance was $5.7 million on September 30, 2013.

In the fourth quarter of 2012 through the second quarter of 2013, the Company purchased the LIFERS issued by the trustee over six additional TOB Trusts. The LIFERS entitle the Company to all principal and interest payments received by these TOB Trusts on the mortgage-backed securities after payments due to the holders of the SPEARS and trust costs ("MBS TOB Trusts"). The SPEARS represent senior interests in the MBS TOB Trusts and some have been credit enhanced by DB. The Company reports the MBS TOB Trusts on a consolidated basis as it has determined it is the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities (Note 6). A summary of the six MBS TOB Trusts are as follows:

• During fourth quarter of 2012, the Company purchased approximately $6.5 million of LIFERS from securitized MBS TOB Trusts with a par value of approximately $31.6 million of MBS. The MBS TOB Trusts also issued SPEARS of approximately $25.1 million to unaffiliated investors. The approximate outstanding amount at September 30, 2013 is $24.5 million which mature in April 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately .9% per annum and the variable rate paid on the SPEARS of approximately .4% is tied to SIFMA which results in the total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.3%.

• In January 2013, the Company purchased an additional $540,000 of LIFERS from one of the five MBS TOB Trusts which is a securitization of MBS with a par value of $2.5 million. SPEARS of approximately $2.0 million were issued by the MBS TOB Trust which is currently outstanding at September 30, 2013. This MBS TOB Trust matures in April 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately .9% per annum and the variable rate paid on the SPEARS of approximately .3% is tied to SIFMA which results in the total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.2%.

• In April 2013, the Company purchased approximately $2.2 million of LIFERS issued by a new MBS TOB Trust which is the securitization of MBS with a par value of approximately $10.0 million. The MBS TOB Trusts issued SPEARS of approximately $7.8 million to unaffiliated investors which is the outstanding amount at September 30, 2013. This facility matures in February 2014. On the date of closing the total fixed TOB Trust fee was approximately .9% per annum and the variable rate paid on the SPEARS of approximately .3% is tied to SIFMA which results in the total cost of borrowing of approximately 1.2%.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company has posted approximately $4.2 million of cash collateral in connection with the six MBS TOB Trusts. This collateral is recorded as restricted cash in the consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the Company purchased the PHC Certificate LIFERS issued by the PHC TOB Trusts for approximately $16.0 million and pledged the LIFERS to the trustee to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Company as the holder of LIFERS. The Company is consolidating the PHC TOB Trust as it has determined it is the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities. The PHC TOB Trusts issued SPEARS of approximately $49.0 million to unaffiliated investors. The SPEARS represent senior interests in the PHC TOB Trusts and have been credit enhanced by DB. The LIFERS entitle the Company to all principal and interest payments received by the PHC TOB Trusts on the $65.3 million of PHC Certificates held by it after payments due to the holders of the SPEARS and trust costs. The amount owed to the SPEARS owners is approximately $49.0 million at September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company hast posted approximately $349,000 of cash collateral in connection with one of the PHC TOB Trusts which is recorded as restricted cash.

The Company is accounting for these TOB Trust financing transactions as secured financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2013, the total cost of borrowing averaged approximately 2.3% and 1.0%, on the PHC TOB Trusts and MBS TOB Trusts, respectively.

TEBS Financing

As of September 1, 2010, the Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiary ATAX TEBS I, LLC, entered into a number of agreements relating to a new long-term debt financing facility provided through the securitization of thirteen tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the ATAX TEBS I, LLC (the “Sponsor”) pursuant to the TEBS Financing. The TEBS Financing essentially provides the Partnership with a long-term variable-rate debt facility at interest rates reflecting prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates.

Effective September 1, 2010, the Partnership transferred the following tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds to ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity controlled by the Partnership pursuant to the TEBS Financing. The par value of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds included in this financing facility as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

(1) Collateralized by Crescent Village, Postwoods, and Willow Bend (Note 2 and Note 9)

The securitization of these assets occurred through two classes of certificates. The Class A TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of $95.8 million and were sold through a placement agent to unaffiliated investors. The Class B TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of $20.3 million and were retained by the Sponsor. The holders of the Class A TEBS Certificates are entitled to receive regular payments of interest from Freddie Mac at a variable rate which resets periodically based on the weekly SIFMA floating index rate plus certain credit, facility, remarketing and servicing fees (the “Facility Fees”). The total Facility Fees are 1.9% per annum, and as of September 30, 2013, the SIFMA rate was equal to approximately 0.1% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of approximately 2.0% on the outstanding balance on the TEBS Financing facility of $93.3 million. The TEBS Financing and the associated TEBS Trust are presented as secured financings within the consolidated financial statements.

The term of the TEBS Financing coincides with the terms of the assets securing the TEBS Certificates, except that the Partnership may terminate the TEBS Financing at its option on either September 15, 2017 or September 15, 2020. Should the Partnership not elect to terminate the TEBS Financing on these dates, the full term of the TEBS Financing runs through the final principal payment date associated with the securitized tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, or July 15, 2050.

The Company’s debt financing as of September 30, 2013 contractually matures over the next five years and thereafter as follows: 

2013	$	6,000,000
2014	128,673,000
2015	1,139,000
2016	1,192,000
2017	89,565,000
Thereafter	—
Total	$	226,569,000

The Company expects to renew each TOB financing facility for another one year term when it matures in 2013 as it has the discretion to renew for another one year period per the terms of the agreement with DB.

Segment Reporting

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2013

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

Segment Reporting

The Company consists of five reportable segments, Tax-Exempt Bond Investments, MF Properties, Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, MBS Investments, and Consolidated VIEs.  In addition to the five reportable segments, the Company also separately reports its consolidation and elimination information because it does not allocate certain items to the segments.

Tax-Exempt Bond Investments Segment

The Tax-Exempt Bond Investments segment consists of the Company’s portfolio of federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential apartments.  Such tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are held as long-term investments.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company held thirty-two tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds not associated with Consolidated VIEs and three tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds associated with Consolidated VIEs which are bonds that are eliminated in consolidation on the Company's financial statements. The multifamily apartment properties financed by the thirty-five tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds contain a total of 4,488 rental units. Three of the bonds' properties are not operational and are under construction (Note 4).

MF Properties Segment

The MF Properties segment consists of indirect equity interests in multifamily apartment properties which are not currently financed by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership but which the Partnership eventually intends to finance by such bonds through a restructuring.  In connection with any such restructuring, the Partnership will be required to dispose of any equity interest held in such MF Properties.  The Partnership's interests in its current MF Properties are not currently classified as Assets held for sale because the Partnership is not actively marketing them for sale, there is no definitive purchase agreement in existence that, under current guidance, can be recognized as a sale of real estate assets and, therefore, no sale is expected in the next twelve months. During the time the Partnership holds an interest in an MF Property, any net rental income generated by the MF Properties in excess of debt service will be available for distribution to the Partnership in accordance with its interest in the MF Property.  Any such cash distribution will contribute to the Partnership's CAD.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company consolidated the results of eight MF Properties containing a total of 1,582 rental units plus the student housing complex in Lincoln, Nebraska that is currently under construction (Note 7).

Other Tax-Exempt Investments

The Partnership Agreement authorizes the Company to make investments in tax-exempt investments other than tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds provided that these other tax-exempt investments are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a national securities rating agency and do not constitute more than 25% of the Company's assets at the time of acquisition as required under the Agreement of Limited Partnership. In addition, the amount of other tax-exempt investments are limited based on the conditions to the exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that is relied upon for the Partnership. The Company currently owns other tax-exempt investments, PHC Certificates and MBS, which are reported as two separate segments. The PHC Trusts segment consists of the assets, liabilities, and related income and expenses of the PHC Trusts. The Partnership consolidates the PHC Trusts due to ownership of the LIFERS issued by the three PHC Trusts, which hold custodial receipts evidencing loans made to a number of local public housing authorities. Principal and interest on these loans are payable by the respective public housing authorities out of annual appropriations to be made to the public housing authorities by the HUD. This investment was acquired in July 2012. The MBS segment consists of the assets, liabilities, and related income and expenses of the MBS TOB Trusts that the Company consolidated due to its ownership of the LIFERs issued by the MBS TOB Trusts. These MBS TOB Trusts are securitizations of state-issued mortgage-backed securities which are backed by residential mortgage loans. These investments were acquired during the fourth quarter of 2012 through the second quarter of 2013 (Note 6).

The Consolidated VIE Segment

The Consolidated VIE segment consists of multifamily apartment properties which are financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership, the assets, liabilities and operating results of which are consolidated with those of the Partnership as a result of consolidation guidance.  The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds on these Consolidated VIE properties are eliminated from the Company’s financial statements as a result of such consolidation, however, such bonds are held as long-term investments by the Partnership which continues to be entitled to receive principal and interest payments on such bonds.  The Company does not actually own an equity position in the Consolidated VIEs or their underlying properties.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company consolidated three VIEs containing a total 650 units (Note 3).

Management closely monitors and evaluates the financial reporting associated with and the operations of the Consolidated VIEs and the MF Properties and performs such evaluation separately from the other operations of the Partnership through interaction with the affiliated property management company which manages the multifamily apartment properties held by the Consolidated VIEs and the MF Properties.

Management's goals with respect to the properties constituting the Company's Consolidated VIE and MF Properties reportable segments is to generate increasing amounts of net rental income from these properties that will allow them to (i) make all payments of base interest, and possibly pay contingent interest, on the properties included in the Tax-Exempt Bond Investments segment and the Consolidated VIE segment, and (ii) distribute net rental income to the Partnership from the MF Properties segment until such properties can be refinanced with additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds meeting the Partnership's investment criteria.  In order to achieve these goals, management of these multifamily apartment properties is focused on: (i) maintaining high economic occupancy and increasing rental rates through effective leasing, reduced turnover rates and providing quality maintenance and services to maximize resident satisfaction; (ii) managing operating expenses and achieving cost reductions through operating efficiencies and economies of scale generally inherent in the management of a portfolio of multiple properties; and (iii) emphasizing regular programs of repairs, maintenance and property improvements to enhance the competitive advantage and value of its properties in their respective market areas.

The following table details certain key financial information for the Company’s reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 and as of December 31, 2012:

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]

Variable interest entities [Text Block]

Variable Interest Entities

The Partnership invests in federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential apartments.  The Partnership owns 100% of these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and each bond is secured by a first mortgage on the property.  In certain cases, the Partnership has also made taxable property loans to the property owners which are secured by second mortgages on these properties.  Although each multifamily property financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership is owned by a separate entity in which the Partnership has no equity ownership interest, the debt financing provided by the Partnership creates a variable interest in these ownership entities that may require the Partnership to report the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of these entities on a consolidated basis under GAAP.   

The Partnership determined that five of the entities financed by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership are held by VIEs as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  These VIEs are Ashley Square, Bent Tree, Cross Creek, Fairmont Oaks, and Lake Forest. At December 31, 2012, the Partnership also determined that the Exchange Accommodation Titleholder ("EAT (Maples on 97th)") was also a VIE based on the Qualified Exchange Accommodation Agreement and Master Lease Agreement between the Partnership and EAT (Maples on 97th).

The Partnership does not hold an equity interest in these VIEs and, therefore, the assets of the VIEs cannot be used to settle the general commitments of the Partnership and the Partnership is not responsible for the commitments and liabilities of the VIEs.  The primary risks to the Partnership associated with these VIEs relate to the entities ability to meet debt service obligations to the Partnership and the valuation of the underlying multifamily apartment property which serves as bond collateral.

The following is a discussion of the significant judgments and assumptions made by the Partnership in determining the primary beneficiary of the VIE and, therefore, whether the Partnership must consolidate the VIE.

Consolidated VIEs

In determining the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, the Partnership considers the activities of the VIE which most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance, who has the power to control such activities, the risks which the entities were designed to create, the variability associated with those risks and the interests which absorb such variability.  The Partnership also considers the related party relationship of the entities involved in the VIEs.  It was determined that the Partnership, as part of the related party group, met both of the primary beneficiary criteria and was the most closely associated with the VIEs and; therefore, was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the following VIEs at September 30, 2013: Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, and Lake Forest. The capital structure of Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, and Lake Forest consists of senior debt, subordinated debt, and equity capital.  The senior debt is in the form of a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and accounts for the majority of each VIE's total capital. As the bondholder, the Partnership is entitled to principal and interest payments and has certain protective rights as established by the bond documents.  The equity ownership of the consolidated VIEs is ultimately held by corporations which are owned by four individuals, two of which are related parties.  Additionally, each of these properties is managed by an affiliate of the Partnership, America First Properties Management Company, LLC (“Properties Management”) which is an affiliate of Burlington Capital Group, LLC ("Burlington").

In August 2012, the EAT (Maples on 97th), a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Title Company which owned a multi-family property located in Omaha, Nebraska, executed a Master Lease Agreement and Construction Management Agreement with the Partnership. These two agreements gave the Partnership the rights and obligations to manage this property as well as the rehabilitation during the six month hold period which contractually ended in February 2013. The Partnership determined that it was the primary beneficiary of the EAT (Maples on 97th) and consolidated the EAT as a VIE as of December 31, 2012. Based on the terms of the Master Lease Agreement, the Partnership reported the rental income and related real estate operating expenses for the Maples on 97th property during the six month holding period as an MF Property since it had all the rights and obligations of landlord for the property. In February 2013, title to the Maples on 97th property transferred to the Partnership from the EAT (Maples on 97th) and the property is reported as an MF Property in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013.

Non-Consolidated VIEs

The Company did not consolidate two VIE entities, Ashley Square and Cross Creek as of September 30, 2013 based on its determination of the primary beneficiary of these two VIE entities. As discussed below, while the capital structures of these VIEs resulted in the Partnership holding a majority of the variable interests in these VIEs, the Partnership determined it does not have the power to direct the activities of these VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and, as a result, is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.

Ashley Square –  Ashley Square Housing Cooperative acquired the ownership of the Ashley Square Apartments in December 2008 from Ashley Square LLC through a warranty deed of transfer and an assumption of debt.  This transfer of ownership constituted a reconsideration event as outlined in the consolidation guidance which triggered a re-evaluation of the holders of variable interests to determine the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  The capital structure of the VIE consists of senior debt, subordinated loans and equity capital.  The senior debt is in the form of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds that are 100% owned by the Partnership and account for the majority of the VIE’s total capital.  As the bondholder, the Partnership is entitled to principal and interest payments and has certain protective rights as established by the bond documents.  The VIE is organized as a housing cooperative and the 99% equity owner of this VIE is The Foundation for Affordable Housing (“FAH”), an unaffiliated Nebraska not-for-profit organization.  Additionally, this property is managed by Properties Management.

Cross Creek –  Cross Creek Apartments Holdings LLC is the owner of the Cross Creek Apartments.  On January 1, 2010, Cross Creek Apartment Holdings LLC entered into a new operating agreement and admitted three new members.  These new members committed approximately $2.2 million of capital payable in three installments including $563,000 on January 1, 2010.  The new operating agreement and admission of new owner members constituted a reconsideration event as outlined in the consolidation guidance which triggered a re-evaluation of the holders of variable interests to determine the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  The capital structure of the VIE consists of senior debt, subordinated loans, and equity capital at risk.  The senior debt is in the form of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds that are 100% owned by the Partnership and account for the majority of the VIE’s total capital.  As the bondholder, the Partnership is entitled to principal and interest payments and has certain protective rights as established by the bond documents.  The three newly admitted members of this VIE are each unaffiliated with the Partnership and have contributed significant equity capital to the VIE.  These members collectively control a 99% interest in the VIE.  The other 1% member of this VIE is FAH, which is also unaffiliated with the Partnership.  Additionally, this property is managed by Properties Management.

The following table presents information regarding the carrying value and classification of the assets held by the Partnership as of September 30, 2013, which constitute a variable interest in Ashley Square and Cross Creek.

	Balance Sheet Classification	Carrying Value		Maximum Exposure to Loss
Ashley Square Apartments
Tax Exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond	Bond Investment	$	5,224,000	$	5,224,000
Taxable Property Loan	Other Asset	1,462,000		7,032,123
		$	6,686,000	$	12,256,123
Cross Creek Apartments
Tax Exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond	Bond Investment	$	7,616,316	$	6,033,317
Taxable Property Loans	Other Asset	3,383,615		3,383,615
		$	10,999,931	$	9,416,932

The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are classified on the balance sheet as available for sale investments and are carried at fair value while taxable property loans are presented on the balance sheet as Other assets and are carried at the unpaid principal and interest less any loan loss reserves.  See Note 4 for additional information regarding the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and Note 8 for additional information regarding the taxable property loans.  The maximum exposure to loss for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds is equal to the unpaid principal balance as of September 30, 2013.  The difference between the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond's carrying value and the maximum exposure to loss is a function of the fair value of the bond.  The difference between the taxable property loan's carrying value and the maximum exposure is the value of loan loss reserves that have been previously recorded against the outstanding taxable property loan balances.

The following tables present the effects of the consolidation of the Consolidated VIEs on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

General

America First Tax Exempt Investors, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed on April 2, 1998, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of acquiring, holding, selling and otherwise dealing with a portfolio of federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential properties.  Interest on these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.  As a result, most of the income earned by the Partnership is exempt from federal income taxes.  The Partnership may also invest in other types of tax-exempt securities that may or may not be secured by real estate and may make taxable property loans secured by multifamily properties which are financed by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership.  The Partnership generally does not seek to acquire direct interests in real property as long term or permanent investments.  The Partnership may, however, acquire real estate securing its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds or taxable mortgage loans through foreclosure in the event of a default.  In addition, the Partnership may acquire interests in multifamily apartment properties (“MF Properties”) in order to position itself for future investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued to finance these properties. The Partnership expects to sell its interest in these MF Properties in connection with the future syndication of low income housing tax credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code ("LIHTCs") or to a tax-exempt organization and to acquire tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds on these properties to provide debt financing to the new owners.

Our general partner is America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two (“AFCA 2” or “General Partner”).  The general partner of AFCA2 is The Burlington Capital Group LLC ("Burlington"). The Partnership has issued Beneficial Unit Certificates (“BUCs”) representing assigned limited partner interests to investors (“unitholders”).  The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2050, unless terminated earlier under provisions of its Agreement of Limited Partnership.

The "Company" refers to the consolidated financial statements reported in this Form 10-Q which include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Partnership, its Consolidated Subsidiaries (defined below) and three entities in which the Partnership does not hold an ownership interest but which own multifamily apartment properties financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership and which are treated as variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which the Partnership has been determined to be the primary beneficiary (the “Consolidated VIEs”). The Consolidated Subsidiaries of the Partnership currently consist of:

• ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to hold tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in order to facilitate the Tax Exempt Bond Securitization (“TEBS”) Financing with Freddie Mac (Note 10).

• Nine multifamily apartments ("MF Properties") which are either wholly or majority owned by subsidiaries of the Partnership.

Stand alone financial information of the Partnership reported in this Form 10-Q includes only the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (hereafter the “Partnership”) without the Consolidated VIEs.  In the Company’s consolidated financial statements, all transactions and accounts between the Partnership, the Consolidated Subsidiaries and the Consolidated VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Partnership does not believe that the consolidation of VIEs for reporting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) affects the Partnership’s status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or the status of unitholders as partners of the Partnership, the treatment of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds on the properties owned by Consolidated VIEs as debt, the tax-exempt nature of the interest payments received on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the properties owned by Consolidated VIEs or the manner in which the Partnership’s income is reported to unitholders on IRS Form K-1.

The unallocated deficit of the Consolidated VIEs is primarily comprised of the accumulated historical net losses of the Consolidated VIEs since the applicable consolidation date. The unallocated deficit of the VIEs and the VIEs' net losses subsequent to that date are not allocated to the General Partner and unitholders as such activity is not contemplated by, or addressed in, the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared consistently with the 2012 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2013, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Mortgage-Backed Securities [Abstract]

Investments in Debt and Equity Investments, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Unrealized and Realized Gains (Losses), Mortgage Backed Securities [Text Block]

Mortgage-Backed Securities ("MBS")

In April 2013, the Company executed a sixth securitization of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS TOB Trusts"). This securitization was of three additional state-issued MBS with a par value of approximately $10.0 million. The Company purchased the LIFERS issued by the MBS TOB Trust for approximately $2.2 million and pledged the LIFERS to the trustee to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Company as the holder of LIFERS.

In January 2013, the Company executed an extension of one of the securitization of MBS TOB Trusts. This extension securitized additional state issued MBS with a par value of approximately $2.5 million. The Company purchased the LIFERS issued by the MBS TOB Trust for approximately $500,000 and pledged the LIFERS to the trustee to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Company as the holder of LIFERS.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company purchased 100% of the LIFERs in five MBS TOB Trusts which securitized state issued MBS with a par value of $31.6 million. The Company purchased the LIFERS issued by the MBS TOB Trust for approximately $6.5 million and pledged the LIFERS to the trustee to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Company as the holder of LIFERS.

Each of the six MBS TOB Trusts issued SPEARS to unaffiliated investors. The SPEARS represent senior interests in the MBS TOB Trusts and have been credit enhanced by DB. The LIFERS entitle the Company to all principal and interest payments received by the MBS TOB Trust on the securitized MBS after payments due to the holders of the SPEARs and trust costs. The SPEARS bear interest at a variable rate based on Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association ("SIFMA").

The Company determined that the six MBS TOB Trusts are variable interest entities and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of each of them. As a result, the Company reports the MBS TOB Trusts on a consolidated basis and the SPEARS as debt financing. In determining the primary beneficiary of these specific VIEs, the Company considered who has the power to control the activities of the VIEs which most significantly impact their financial performance, the risks that the entity was designed to create, and how each risk affects the VIE. The indenture for the MBS TOB Trusts stipulates that the Company has the sole right to cause the MBS TOB Trusts to sell the MBS. If they were sold, the extent to which the MBS TOB Trusts will be exposed to gains or losses associated with variability in the MBS' fair value arising from changes in municipal bond market rates therefore would result from decisions made by the Company. Interest earned on the MBS held by the six MBS TOB Trusts is exempt from federal income taxes.

The carrying value of the Company's MBS as of September 30, 2013 is as follows:

Agency Rating of MBS (1)	Cost adjusted for amortization of premium		Unrealized Gain		Unrealized Loss			Estimated Fair Value
"AAA"	$	23,182,932	$	—	$	(2,596,666	)	$	20,586,266
"AA"	21,109,784		—		(2,815,054		)	18,294,730
	$	44,292,716	$	—	$	(5,411,720	)	$	38,880,996

⁽¹⁾MBS are reported based on the lowest rating issued by a Rating Agency, if more than one rating is issued on the security, at the date presented.

The carrying value of the Company's MBS as of December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Agency Rating of MBS (1)	Cost adjusted for amortization of premium		Unrealized Gain		Unrealized Loss			Estimated Fair Value
"AAA"	$	13,127,402	$	—	$	(129,613	)	$	12,997,789

	$	32,535,077	$	—	$	(413,665	)	$	32,121,412

⁽¹⁾MBS are reported based on the lowest rating issued by a Rating Agency, if more than one rating is issued on the security, at the date presented.

Valuation - The Company values each MBS based upon prices obtained from a third party pricing service, which are indicative of market activity. The valuation methodology of the Company's third party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods, incorporates trading activity observed in the market place, and other data inputs. The methodology also considers the underlying characteristics of each security, which are also observable inputs, including: coupon; maturity date; loan age; reset date; collateral type; geography; and prepayment speeds. Management analyzes pricing data received from the third party pricing service by comparing it to valuation information obtained from at least one other third party pricing service and ensuring they are within a tolerable range of difference which the Company estimates as 7.5%. Management also looks at observations of trading activity observed in the market place when available. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the range of effective yields on the individual MBS was 3.6% to 5.4% per annum.  Additionally, the Company calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of the MBS which is the effective yield on new issuances of similarly rated MBS.  Assuming a 10% adverse change in that key assumption, the effective yields on the MBS would increase to a range of 4.4% to 5.6% per annum and would result in additional unrealized losses on the bond portfolio of approximately $2.0 million.  This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time.  The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution.  Pricing services and management’s analysis provide indicative pricing only. The MBS have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and the Company does not believe the investment is other than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2013.

The MBS are backed by residential mortgage loans and interest payable from the MBS is exempt from federal income taxation. Description of certain terms of the Company's MBS is as follows:

Agency Rating of MBS	Principal Outstanding September 30, 2013	Weighted Average Maturity Date	Weighted Average Coupon Interest Rate
"AAA"	22,710,000	January 14, 2036	4.22	%
"AA"	20,600,000	January 18, 2036	4.00	%

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements

Current accounting guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides for expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  The guidance:

• Defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and

• Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Investments in Tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds.  The fair values of the Company’s investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds have each been based on a discounted cash flow or yield to maturity analysis. The Company uses this same valuation methodology to estimate the fair value market adjustment for its mortgage bond purchase commitments. There is no active trading market for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and price quotes for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are not available.  If available, the General Partner may also consider price quotes on similar tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds or other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  The estimates of the fair values of these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, whether estimated by the Company or based on external sources, are based largely on unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants.  Additionally, the calculation methodology used by the external sources and the Company encompasses the use of judgment in its application. To validate changes in the fair value of the Company's investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds between reporting periods, management looks at the key inputs such as changes in the current market yields on similar bonds as well as changes in the operating performance of the underlying property serving as collateral for each bond. We validate that the changes in the estimated fair value of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds move with the changes in these monitored factors. Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds is categorized as a Level 3 input. The approximately $4.9 million estimated fair market value adjustment - mortgage bond purchase commitment liability is also categorized as a Level 3 input. This unrealized loss was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Investment in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates. The fair value of the Company’s investment in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates has been based on a yield to maturity analysis performed by the General Partner. There is no active trading market for the trusts' certificates owned by the Company but the General Partner will look at estimated values as determined by pricing services when available. The estimates of the fair values of these trusts' certificates begin with the current market yield rate for a “AAA” rated tax-free municipal bond for a term consistent with the weighted-average life of each of the Public Housing Capital Fund trusts adjusted largely for unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants. Additionally, the calculation methodology used by external pricing services and the Company encompasses the use of judgment in its application. We validate that the changes in the estimated fair value of Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates move with the changes in the market yield rates of investment grade rated tax-exempt municipal bonds with similar length of terms. Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates is categorized as a Level 3 input.

Investment in Mortgage-Backed Securities. The fair value of the Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities is based upon prices obtained from a third party pricing service, which are indicative of market activity. The valuation methodology of the Company's third party pricing service incorporates commonly used market pricing methods, incorporates trading activity observed in the market place, and other data inputs. The methodology also considers the underlying characteristics of each security, which are also observable inputs, including: coupon; maturity date; loan age; reset date; collateral type; geography; and prepayment speeds. Management analyzes pricing data received from the third party pricing service by comparing it to valuation information obtained from at least one other third party pricing service and ensuring they are within a tolerable range of difference which the Company estimates as 7.5%. Management also looks at observations of trading activity observed in the market place when available. Given these facts, the fair value measurements of the Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities are categorized as Level 2 inputs.

Taxable bonds. The fair values of the Company’s investments in taxable bonds have each been based on a discounted cash flow or yield to maturity analysis. There is no active trading market for the taxable bonds and price quotes are not available. The estimates of the fair values of these taxable bonds, whether estimated by the Company or based on external sources, are based largely on unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants.  Additionally, the calculation methodology used by the external sources and the Company encompasses the use of judgment in its application. To validate changes in the fair value of the Company's investments in taxable bonds between reporting periods, management looks at the key inputs such as changes in the current market yields on similar bonds as well as changes in the operating performance of the underlying property serving as collateral for each bond. We validate that the changes in the estimated fair value of the taxable bonds move with the changes in these monitored factors. Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in taxable bonds is categorized as a Level 3 input.

Interest rate derivatives.  The effect of the Company’s interest rate caps is to set a cap, or upper limit, on the base rate of interest paid on the Company’s variable rate debt equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement.  The effect of the Company’s interest rate swap is to change a variable rate debt obligation to a fixed rate for that portion of the debt equal to the notional amount of the derivative agreement.  The interest rate derivatives are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense.  The fair value of the interest rate derivatives is based on a model whose inputs are not observable and therefore are categorized as a Level 3 input. The inputs in the valuation model include three-month LIBOR rates, unobservable adjustments to account for the SIFMA index, as well as any recent interest rate cap trades with similar terms.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts [Abstract]

Investments in Debt and Equity Investments, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Unrealized and Realized Gains (Losses), Public Housing Capital Funds Trust [Text Block]

Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates

In July 2012, the Company purchased 100% of the residual participation receipts (“LIFERs”) in tender option bond trusts (“PHC TOB Trusts”) for approximately $16 million. The PHC TOB Trusts own approximately $65.3 million of Public Housing Capital Fund Certificates (“PHC Certificates”) issued by three trusts ("PHC Trusts") sponsored by Deutsche Bank ("DB"). The assets held by the PHC Trusts consist of custodial receipts evidencing loans made to a number of local public housing authorities. Principal and interest on these loans are payable by the respective public housing authorities out of annual appropriations to be made to the public housing authorities by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) under HUD's Capital Fund Program established under Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (the “Capital Fund Program”). The PHC Trusts have a first lien on these annual Capital Fund Program payments to secure the public housing authorities' respective obligations to pay principal and interest on their loans. The loans payable by the public housing authorities are not debts of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America or HUD. Interest payable on the public housing authority debt held by the PHC Trusts is exempt from federal income taxes. The PHC Certificates issued by each of the PHC Trusts have been rated investment grade by Standard & Poor's.

The Company determined that the three PHC TOB trusts are variable interest entities and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of each of the three PHC TOB trusts. As a result, the Company reports the PHC TOB Trusts on a consolidated basis and the senior floating-rate participation interest (“SPEARS”) as debt financing. In determining the primary beneficiary of these specific VIEs, the Company considered who has the power to control the activities of the VIEs which most significantly impact their financial performance, the risks that the entity was designed to create, and how each risk affects the VIE. The indenture for the PHC TOB trusts stipulates that the Company has the sole right to cause the PHC TOB trusts to sell the PHC Certificates. If they were sold, the extent to which the VIEs will be exposed to gains or losses associated with variability in the PHC Certificates' fair value arising from changes in municipal bond market rates therefore would result from decisions made by the Company.

The Company had the following investments in the PHC Certificates on September 30, 2013:

Valuation - As all of the Company’s investments in PHC Certificates are classified as available-for-sale securities, they are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values.  Due to the limited market for the PHC Certificates, these estimates of fair value do not necessarily represent what the Company would actually receive in a sale of the certificates.  The estimates of the fair values of these PHC certificates is based on a yield to maturity analysis which begins with the current market yield rate for a “AAA” rated tax-free municipal bond for a term consistent with the weighted-average life of each of the Public Housing Capital Fund trusts adjusted largely for unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants. Management’s valuation encompasses judgment in its application and pricing as determined by pricing services, when available, is compared to Management's estimates.  The PHC Certificates are AA and BBB rated. The Company has concluded that the PHC Certificates are not other than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2013 as it has the intent and ability to hold this investment until its final maturity.

At September 30, 2013, the range of effective yields on the PHC Certificates was 4.2% to 5.4% per annum.  At December 31, 2012, the range of effective yields on the PHC Certificates was 4.6% to 5.9% per annum. Additionally, the Company calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of these PHC Certificates.  Assuming a 10% adverse change in the key assumption, the effective yields on the PHC Certificates would increase to a range of 5.9% to 7.2% per annum and would result in additional unrealized losses on the PHC Certificates of approximately $2.9 million.  This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time.  The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution.  If available, the general partner may also consider other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  Pricing services and management’s analysis provide indicative pricing only.

Other assets	1,229,857			1,353,934
Total Other assets	$	13,353,435		$	8,216,295

In addition to the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Company, taxable property loans have been made to the owners of the properties which secure the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and are reported as taxable property loans receivable in Other assets, net of loan loss reserves.  The Company periodically, or as changes in circumstances or operations dictate, evaluates such taxable property loans receivable for impairment.  The value of the underlying property assets is ultimately the most relevant measure of value to support the taxable property loan values.  The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow model in estimating a property fair value.  Discounted cash flow models containing varying assumptions are considered.   The various models may assume multiple revenue and expense scenarios, various capitalization rates and multiple discount rates.  Other information, such as independent appraisals, may be considered in estimating a property fair value.  If the estimated fair value of the property after deducting the amortized cost basis of any senior tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond exceeds the principal balance of the taxable property loan then no potential loss is indicated and no loan loss reserve for taxable property loans is needed. In estimating the property valuation, the most significant assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model remained the same as discussed in the Form 10-K and include revenue and expense projections and capitalization rates.

In August 2013, the Partnership acquired a Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and a forward contract to support the construction of Vantage at Harlingen Apartments in Harlingen, Texas. In conjunction with this contract, the Partnership acquired an approximate $1.3 million taxable mortgage revenue bond which carries a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and matures on August 1, 2053. This taxable mortgage revenue bond is reported as part of the Taxable bonds at fair value in Other assets. Please see the Fair Value Measurements footnote (footnote 15) for the detailed description of the fair value estimation process for the taxable mortgage bonds.

The Partnership received the Sheriff's deed conveying title of Woodland Park to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership on May 29, 2013. Woodland Park is now reported as an MF Property and the fully allowed taxable property loan was written off (Note 7).

In June 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas, Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (f/k/a Dublin Apartments), Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), and Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments). The Partnership also acquired approximately $831,000 of taxable mortgage revenue bonds which carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on September 1, 2050. These are reported as part of the Taxable bonds at fair value in Other assets.

In February 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas, Avistar on the Boulevard, Avistar at Chase Hill, and Avistar at the Crest. The Partnership also acquired approximately $804,000 of taxable mortgage revenue bonds which carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on April 1, 2050. These are reported as part of the Taxable bonds at fair value in Other assets.

During the first nine months of 2013, the Partnership advanced additional funds to Ashley Square, Cross Creek, the Greens Property and the Ohio Properties of approximately $164,000, $168,000, $26,000 and $44,000, respectively. Due to the recognized sale of the Ohio and Greens Properties, the taxable property loans receivable with the Ohio and Greens Properties are no longer eliminated upon consolidation (Note 9). During the first nine months of 2013, the Partnership recorded loan loss reserves equal to the accrued interest on the Ashley Square, Cross Creek, Greens and the Ohio Properties taxable property loans receivable because the Partnership has determined they are not reasonably assured. The Partnership also reserved against the $168,000 advanced to the Cross Creek property in 2013 based on the quarterly impairment analysis.

In June 2013, the Partnership redeemed its interest in the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond for approximately $21.9 million. This redemption resulted in the realization of approximately $6.5 million in tax-exempt contingent interest income and approximately $4.6 million realized loss on taxable property loans.

The following is a summary of the taxable property loans receivable, accrued interest and loan loss reserves on the amounts due at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively:

(2) Tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by Deutsche Bank in a secured financing transaction, Note 10

In August 2013, the Partnership acquired a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by the Vantage at Harlingen Apartments, a 288 unit multifamily apartment complex located in Harlingen, Texas which is under construction. The Series C bond was purchased for approximately $6.7 million par value, carries a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum, and matures on August 1, 2053. The Partnership also acquired a $1.3 million subordinate taxable bond which is recorded as an Other Asset. The Vantage at Harlingen Apartments has a construction loan with an unrelated bank and the Partnership's tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are second lien borrowings to that construction loan.

Under the terms of a Forward Delivery Bond Purchase Agreement ("Bond Purchase Commitment"), the Partnership has agreed to purchase a new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond between $18,000,000 to $24,692,000 (“Harlingen Series B Bond”) secured by the Vantage at Harlingen apartments which will be delivered by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond issuer once the property meets specific obligations and occupancy rates. The final amount of the Series B Bond will depend on the appraisal of the stabilized property. The Harlingen Series B Bond will have a stated annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and bond proceeds must be used to pay off the construction loan to the bank and all or a portion of the $6.7 million subordinate Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the change in the estimated fair value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $1.8 million.

In July 2013, the limited partner property owner contributed an approximate additional $800,000 of capital into the Greens Property which allowed the Company to recognize a sale of the discontinued operations (Note 9). As such, the Partnership is reporting the approximate $9.1 million fair market value of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds related to the Greens Property as assets for the first time as of September 30, 2013.

In June 2013, the Partnership redeemed its interest in the Iona Lakes tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond for approximately $21.9 million. This redemption resulted in the realization of approximately $6.5 million in tax-exempt contingent interest income and approximately $4.6 million realized loss on a taxable property loan. The trust indenture for this bond had a waterfall feature which stipulated that all unpaid contingent interest must be paid prior to making payment on any taxable loan between the owner of the bond and the property.

The Partnership, as sole bondholder, previously directed the bond trustee to file a foreclosure action on the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. On February 28, 2013, the court granted Summary Judgment in the bond trustee's favor confirming that the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond is senior to mechanic's liens filed on the property. Subsequently, the court ordered a sale of the Woodland Park property and on April 23, 2013, the Partnership made a bid to purchase the property for the amount of the outstanding principal and interest it is owed. The Partnership's Motion of Confirmation was approved by the court on May 2, 2013. The bond trustee assigned its right to the property to the Partnership on May 8, 2013 and the Partnership received the Sheriff's deed conveying title to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership on May 29, 2013. Woodland Park became an MF Property upon title conveyance (Note 7). The Partnership now has the option of converting the property to a market rate rent execution or maintain it as an affordable rental property.  The Partnership will continue to assess its long-term strategy for the property to maximize its economic value.

In June 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas. The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond purchases are as follows: approximately $5.9 million par value Series A and approximately $2.5 million par value Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar at the Oaks Apartments (formerly known as ("f/k/a") Dublin Apartments), a 156 unit multifamily apartment complex; approximately $3.1 million Series A and approximately $2.3 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar on the Hills Apartments (f/k/a Kingswood Apartments), a 129 unit multifamily apartment complex; and approximately $5.5 million Series A and approximately $1.7 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by Avistar in 09 Apartments (f/k/a Waterford Apartments), a 133 unit multifamily apartment complex. The three Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and mature on August 1, 2050. The three Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on September 1, 2050. The Partnership also acquired approximately $831,000 of taxable mortgage revenue bonds which also carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on September 1, 2050. The Company has determined that the entity which owns the three properties is an unrelated not-for-profit which under the accounting guidance is not subject to applying the VIE consolidation guidance. As a result, the properties' financial statements are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In April 2013, the Partnership acquired the Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by the Renaissance Gateway Apartments, a 208 unit multifamily apartment complex located in New Orleans, Louisiana for approximately $2.9 million par value. In July and September 2013, the Partnership purchased $1.3 million par value Series B and $2.6 million par value Series A, respectively, tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The Series C tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond carries a base interest rate of 12.0% per annum and matures on June 1, 2015. The Series A and Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds carry a base interest rate of 6% and 12% per annum, respectively, maturing on June 1, 2030. This property is undergoing a major rehabilitation and the Partnership has agreed to fund a total of approximately $8.6 million of a Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond during construction which is estimated to be completed on June 30, 2014. Upon completion of construction and stabilization, the approximate $2.9 million Series C bond will be paid back on the earlier of when the property receives its final equity contribution by the limited partner or June 1, 2015. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the change in estimated fair value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $567,000.

During the first quarter of 2013, the BC Partners contributed $6.5 million of capital into the Ohio Properties which allowed the Company to recognize a sale of the discontinued operations (Note 9). As such, the Partnership is reporting the approximate $19.8 million fair market value of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds related to these Ohio Properties as assets for the first time at each quarter end of 2013.

In February 2013, the Partnership acquired six tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by three properties located in San Antonio, Texas. The bond purchases are as follows: approximately $13.8 million par value Series A and approximately $3.2 million par value Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar on the Boulevard, a 344 unit multifamily apartment complex; approximately $9.0 million Series A and approximately $2.0 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the Avistar at Chase Hill, a 232 unit multifamily apartment complex; and approximately $8.8 million Series A and approximately $1.7 million Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by Avistar at the Crest, a 200 unit multifamily apartment complex. The three Series A tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and mature on March 1, 2050. The three Series B tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds each carry an annual base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on April 1, 2050. The Partnership also acquired approximately $804,000 of taxable mortgage revenue bonds which also carry a base interest rate of 9.0% per annum and mature on April 1, 2050. The Company has determined that the entity which owns the three Avistar properties is an unrelated not-for-profit which under the accounting guidance is not subject to applying the VIE consolidation guidance. As a result, the properties' financial statements are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In December 2012, the Partnership purchased a $6,049,000 subordinate tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and a $934,000 subordinate taxable bond both secured by the Vantage at Judson apartments. This property is located in San Antonio, Texas and is currently under construction. Both bonds mature on February 1, 2053 and carry an annual cash interest rate of 9.0% per annum plus allow for an additional 3.0% per annum of interest calculated on the property's cash flows after debt service. The Vantage at Judson apartments has a construction loan with an unrelated bank and the Partnership's tax-exempt mortgage revenue and taxable bonds are second lien borrowings to that construction loan. The property will have 288 units when construction is completed in the spring of 2014.

Under the terms of a Bond Purchase Commitment, the Partnership has agreed to purchase a new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond of between $20,638,000 to $26,687,000 (“Judson Series B Bond”) secured by the Vantage at Judson apartments which will be delivered by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond issuer once the property meets specific obligations and occupancy rates. The final amount of the Series B Bond will depend on the appraisal of the stabilized property. The Judson Series B Bond will have a stated annual interest rate of 6.0% per annum and bond proceeds must be used to pay off the construction loan to the Bank and all or a portion of the $6,049,000 subordinate tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. If the property does not meet its specific obligations and required occupancy rate before January 1, 2015, the Partnership has the right to terminate the Bond Purchase Commitment. The Partnership accounts for the Bond Purchase Commitment as an available-for-sale security and, as such, records the change in estimated fair value of the Bond Purchase Commitment as an asset or liability with changes in such valuation recorded in other comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership estimated the value of this Bond Purchase Commitment and recorded a liability of approximately $2.0 million.

In June 2012, the Partnership acquired a $10.0 million par value tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by Arbors at Hickory Ridge Apartments, a 348 unit multifamily apartment complex located in Memphis, Tennessee, which represented 100% of the bond issuance for approximately $10.2 million. In December 2012, the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond secured by Arbors at Hickory Ridge Apartments was restructured to an $11.5 million par value tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond with an annual interest rate of 6.25% per annum and maturity of December 1, 2049. The Partnership then purchased 100% of this bond issuance plus a taxable property loan of approximately $191,000 for a payment of approximately $1,041,000 made at closing.

Valuation - As all of the Company’s investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are classified as available-for-sale securities, they are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values.  Due to the limited market for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, these estimates of fair value do not necessarily represent what the Company would actually receive in a sale of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  There is no active trading market for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and price quotes for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are not generally available.  As of September 30, 2013, all of the Company’s tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds were valued using discounted cash flow and yield to maturity analyses performed by management.  Management’s valuation encompasses judgment in its application.  The key assumption in management’s yield to maturity analysis is the range of effective yields on the individual tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  The effective yield analysis for each tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond considers the current market yield on similar tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds as well as the debt service coverage ratio of each underlying property serving as collateral for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. At September 30, 2013, the range of effective yields on the individual tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds was 6.3% to 9.8% per annum.  At December 31, 2012, the range of effective yields on the individual tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds was 5.7% to 8.4% per annum. Additionally, the Company calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  Assuming a 10% adverse change in the key assumption, the effective yields on the individual tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds would increase to a range of 6.9% to 10.8% per annum and would result in additional unrealized losses on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond portfolio of approximately $16.1 million.  This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time.  The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution.  If available, the general partner may also consider price quotes on similar tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds or other information from external sources, such as pricing services.  Pricing services, broker quotes and management’s analyses provide indicative pricing only.

Unrealized gains or losses on these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to reflect changes in their estimated fair values resulting from market conditions and fluctuations in the present value of the expected cash flows from the underlying properties. As of September 30, 2013, none of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond investments has been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months.  In addition, the Company has the intent and ability to hold the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds until their final maturity.

In September 2013, the Partnership executed a $7.0 million promissory note related to the Woodland Park property. This promissory note carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.8% per annum plus 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") which was approximately .2%, resulting in approximately 3.0% at the date of closing and September 30, 2013. The Partnership has borrowed approximately $6.0 million as of September 30, 2013.

In April 2013, the Company executed an interest-only loan to borrow up to $25.5 million for a three year term at a variable interest rate secured by the student housing complex in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Company also secured a $4.3 million tax-incremental financing loan which is for a term of five years, carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 4.7% per annum, requires principal payments commencing after 24 months and has a balloon payment due at maturity. The Company has borrowed approximately $1.8 million on the three year term facility as of September 30, 2013 (Notes 7 and 16).

In February 2013, the Partnership obtained a $7.5 million loan secured by the Maples on 97th property. This loan is with an unrelated third party and carries a fixed annual interest rate of approximately 3.6% per annum through June 30, 2013 switching to approximately 4.4% per annum beginning on July 1, 2013, maturing on February 10, 2016.

Real Estate Assets

MF Properties

To facilitate its investment strategy of acquiring additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by MF Properties, the Company has acquired through its various subsidiaries 99% limited partner positions in three limited partnerships and 100% member positions in six limited liability companies that own the MF Properties. The financial statements of these properties are consolidated with those of the Company.  The general partners of these partnerships are unaffiliated parties and their 1% ownership interest in these limited partnerships is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as noncontrolling interests. The Company expects each of these MF Properties to eventually be sold either to a not-for-profit entity or in connection with a syndication of LIHTCs. The Company expects to purchase tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by the new property owners as part of the restructuring.

Recent Transactions

The Partnership, as sole bondholder, previously directed the bond trustee to file a foreclosure action on the Woodland Park tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. On February 28, 2013, the court granted Summary Judgment in the bond trustee's favor confirming that the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond is senior to mechanic's liens filed on the property. Subsequently, the court ordered a sale of the Woodland Park property and on April 23, 2013, the Partnership made a bid to purchase the property for the amount of the outstanding principal and interest it is owed. The Partnership's Motion of Confirmation was approved by the court on May 2, 2013. The bond trustee assigned its right to the property to the Partnership on May 8, 2013 and the Partnership received the Sheriff's deed conveying title to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership on May 29, 2013. Woodland Park became an MF Property at a net asset value of approximately $15.7 million upon conveyance of title. The Partnership now has the option of (i) requesting the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond issuer to remove the LURA on the property and thereby be free to convert it to 100% market-rate rents or (ii) allow the LURA to remaining in place, maintaining the property as a rent restricted property, and seek to place new tax-exempt financing on the property and acquire the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The Partnership is still assessing its long-term strategy for this property.

In March 2013, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company executed a 35-year ground lease with the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (“Lessor”) with an annual lease payment of $100. The leased property will have a mixed-use development consisting of a 1,605 stall parking garage and 475 bed student housing complex constructed on it. The Lessor will own the parking garage for which it will contribute approximately $16.7 million to its construction. The Company will own the student housing complex (named "The 50/50") and currently estimates that construction will cost approximately $34.0 million. The Company executed a guaranteed maximum price contract with the general contractor for the construction on the mixed-use development. The Company expects to restructure its ownership of The 50/50 into a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond holding after the construction is completed (which is estimated as August 1, 2014) and when the development has a sufficient history of operating results. The Company has secured approximately $29.8 million in financing facilities to cover the majority of the construction costs. The Company has borrowed approximately $1.8 million on this facility as of September 30, 2013 (Notes 11 and 16).

In August 2012, the Company closed on the purchase of the Maples on 97^th property, a 258 unit facility located in Omaha, Nebraska, for a purchase price of approximately $5.5 million through the execution of a Qualified Exchange Accommodation Agreement that assigned the right to acquire and own the Maples on 97^th property to a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Title Company, ("EAT (Maples on 97th)"), for a period not to exceed six months. The Company lent the EAT (Maples on 97th) the necessary funds to purchase the replacement property; there was no other capital within that entity. The EAT (Maples on 97th) then executed a Master Lease Agreement and Construction Management Agreement with the Company. These two agreements gave the Company the rights and obligations to manage the replacement property as well as the rehabilitation during the six month hold period. During this six month holding period, the Partnership completed the majority of the rehabilitation of the property. At December 31, 2012 the EAT (Maples on 97th) was reported as a VIE. In February 2013, title to the Maples on 97th property transferred to the Partnership from the EAT (Maples on 97th) and the property is reported as an MF Property as of September 30, 2013.

The Company had the following investments in MF Properties as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements

As of September 30, 2013, the Company has four derivative agreements in order to mitigate its exposure to increases in interest rates on its variable-rate debt financing. The terms of the derivative agreements are as follows:

Date Purchased	Notional Amount		Effective Capped Rate		Maturity Date	Purchase Price		Counterparty
September 2, 2010	$	31,936,667	3.00	%	September 1, 2017	$	921,000	Bank of New York Mellon
September 2, 2010	$	31,936,667	3.00	%	September 1, 2017	$	845,600	Barclays Bank PLC
September 2, 2010	$	31,936,667	3.00	%	September 1, 2017	$	928,000	Royal Bank of Canada
August 15, 2013	$	93,305,000	1.50	%	September 1, 2017	$	793,000	Deutsche Bank

On July 30, 2013, the Company purchased a new interest rate derivative with a notional amount of $93.3 million which represents the amount outstanding on the TEBS financing facility at August 1, 2013.  The maturity date of this interest rate derivative is September 1, 2017 and the effective capped interest rate is 1.5%.  On July 30, 2013, the Company also sold a new interest rate derivative to the same counterparty which had the same notional amount of $93.3 million and an effective capped interest rate of 3.0%.  The total cost of these two interest rate derivatives was approximately $800,000 and the derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, therefore, changes in the estimated fair value of the interest rate derivatives are included in earnings.  This interest rate corridor transaction effectively reduced the capped interest rate from 3.0% to 1.5% on the TEBS financing facility through the maturity date of the interest rate derivative contracts.

These interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense. The change in the fair value of these derivative contracts resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $440,000 and $304,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The change in the fair value of these derivative contracts resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $275,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Transactions with Related Parties [Abstract]

Transactions with Related Parties

The general partner of the Partnership, AFCA 2, is entitled to receive an administrative fee from the Partnership equal to 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of any of its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, taxable property loans collateralized by real property, and other tax-exempt investments for which the owner of the financed property or other third party is not obligated to pay such administrative fee directly to AFCA 2. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership paid or accrued administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $388,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Partnership paid or accrued administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $265,000 and $643,000, respectively. In addition to the administrative fees paid directly by the Partnership, AFCA 2 receives administrative fees directly from the owners of properties financed by certain of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership.  These administrative fees also equal 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and totaled approximately $33,000 and $99,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, these fees totaled approximately $33,000 and $100,000, respectively.

AFCA 2 earns mortgage placement fees in connection with the acquisition of certain tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.  These mortgage placement fees were paid by the owners of the respective properties and, accordingly, have not been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements because these properties are not considered VIEs.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, AFCA 2 earned mortgage placement fees of approximately $338,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. In June 2012 the Company executed an investment placement agreement with AFCA 2 in connection with the Company's acquisition of the PHC Certificates investment (Note 5). AFCA 2 received a fee of approximately $653,000 from the Company in connection with this agreement which was paid in July 2012. The Company executed a separate investment placement agreement with AFCA 2 in connection with the Company's acquisition of the Arbors at Hickory Ridge tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond during the second quarter of 2012. In connection with that agreement, AFCA 2 received an origination fee of $100,000. These fees have been recorded into the cost basis of the PHC Certificates and tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and are being amortized against interest income on an effective yield basis. Both of these fees are consistent with the mortgage placement fees that AFCA 2 has earned previously in connection with the acquisition of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds by the Company.

An affiliate of AFCA 2, America First Properties Management Company, LLC (“Properties Management”) provided property management services for the eight MF Properties, the three Consolidated VIEs and six of the properties collateralized by the tax-exempt revenue bonds, earning management fees of approximately $300,000 and $907,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Properties Management provided property management services for seven MF Properties, the three VIEs, the six properties classified as discontinued operations and four of the properties collateralized by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, earning management fees of approximately $288,000 and $879,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  These property management fees are not Partnership expenses, but are paid in each case by the owner of the multifamily apartment property.  For properties owned by entities treated as Consolidated VIEs and for MF Properties, the property management fees are reflected as real estate operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The property management fees are paid out of the revenues generated by all properties financed by tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and taxable mortgages prior to the payment of debt service on the Partnership’s tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and taxable property loans.

The Partnership executed a Developer and Construction Management Agreement with two affiliates of AFCA 2 during the second quarter of 2013 in connection with the mixed-use development at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (Note 7). These affiliates received approximately $588,000 in the first nine months of 2013 under the terms of this Agreement.

Two of the owners of the limited-purpose corporations which own three of the Consolidated VIEs held by the Company are employees of Burlington who are not involved in the operation or management of the Company and who are not executive officers or managers of Burlington.
