Forward-Looking Statements This presentation incorporates information from two prospectuses filed by America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (the “Partnership”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the offerings to which this communication relates (the “Prospectus” or “prospectuses”) and contains forward-looking statements. All statements in this document other than statements of historical facts, 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. 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” beginning on page 25 of each Prospectus and page 14 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Measures This document refers to certain financial measures that are identified as non-GAAP. The Partnership believes that these non-GAAP measures are helpful to investors because they are the key information used by management to analyze the Partnership’s operations. This information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. A reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures can be found in Addendum C of this presentation.

ATAX – The Fund America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (NASDAQ:ATAX) (the “Fund” or the “Partnership”) was formed on April 2, 1998 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the initial purpose of acquiring, holding, selling and otherwise dealing with a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential properties.

Assumptions include anticipated interest rates, relationships between interest rate indices and outstanding investments, liabilities and interest rate derivative positions. No assurance can be made that the assumptions included in the Table presented herein will occur or that other events will not occur that will affect the outcomes of the analysis. Furthermore, the results included in the Table assume the Partnership does not act to change its sensitivity to the movement in interest rates. As the above information incorporates only those material positions or exposures that existed as of June 30, 2021, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. The ultimate economic impact of these market risks will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our risk mitigation strategies at that time and the overall business and economic environment.

Slide 17

Addendum C Cash Available for Distribution Calculation The Partnership believes that Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) provides relevant information about the Partnership’s operations and is necessary, along with net income, for understanding its operating results. To calculate CAD, the Partnership begins with net income as computed in accordance with GAAP and adjusts for non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation expense, amortization expense related to deferred financing costs, amortization of premiums and discounts, non-cash interest rate derivative expense or income, provisions for credit and loan losses, impairments on MRBs, governmental issuer loans, Public housing Capital Fund Trust Certificates, real estate assets and property loans, deferred income tax expense (benefit) and restricted unit compensation expense. The Partnership also deducts Tier 2 income distributable to the General Partner as defined in the Partnership Agreement and Series A Preferred Unit distributions and accretion. 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 Partnership considers CAD to be a useful measure of the Partnership’s operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure that should not be considered as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table shows the calculation of CAD (and a reconciliation of the Partnership’s net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to CAD) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016.
