NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2001 and 2000
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), the Managing General Partner, the
accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position of Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. (the Partnership) as of September 30,
2001, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, and its cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000. The results of operations for the interim periods
ended September 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Certain information and accounting
policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such instructions.
These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual
report on Form 10-KSB at December 31, 2000.
2. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS
a. Due on investments in partnerships and accrued interest payable
---------------------------------------------------------------
Interest expense on the Partnership's purchase money notes for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 was $12,687 and $236,869,
respectively, and $117,549 and $352,648 for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2000, respectively. The accrued interest payable on the
purchase money note of $1,002,313 as of September 30, 2001, is currently due
because the note has matured.
Frenchman's Wharf I
-------------------
The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money notes related to Lake
Properties Limited Partnership (Frenchman's Wharf I) on September 1, 1998 when
the notes matured and were not paid. The default amount included principal and
accrued interest of $3,778,800 and $6,086,253, respectively. As of June 22,
2001, principal and accrued interest of $3,778,800 and $7,368,725, respectively,
were due. The purchase money notes were initially due to mature on June 1, 1988,
but were extended to mature June 1, 1998.
In 1996, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sold
the mortgage loan on Frenchman's Wharf I to the same lender as Shallowford Oaks,
(see discussion concerning Shallowford Oaks, below). In May 2000, the local
managing general partner obtained a forbearance agreement from the lender which
was originally scheduled to expire on March 31, 2001, but which was subsequently
extended several times until June 25, 2001. The forbearance agreement allowed
for the discounted payoff of the mortgage loan.
In January 2001, the Local Partnership entered into a contract to sell the
property. However, the purchaser was unable to consummate the purchase. As a
result, in accordance with the forbearance agreement, on June 22, 2001, the
property was transferred to an assignee of the mortgagee. The transfer of the
property and resulting loss of the Partnership's interest in

2. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS - Continued
Frenchman's Wharf I resulted in extraordinary gain from extinguishment of debt
of $11,147,525 and loss on disposition of investment in partnerships of $144,293
for financial statement purposes in 2001, and a total gain of $17,244,566 for
federal tax purposes in 2001.
In recognition of the transfer of the Frenchman's Wharf I property, the net
unamortized amounts of acquisition fees and property purchase costs, which
totaled $144,293 as of December 31, 2000, were reclassified to investment in
partnerships held for sale or transfer in the accompanying balance sheet at
December 31, 2000.
Shallowford Oaks
----------------
The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money note relating to ARA
Associates-Shangri- La Ltd. (Shallowford Oaks) on January 1, 1997 when the note
matured and was not paid. The default amount included principal and accrued
interest of $700,000 and $761,389, respectively. The total amount due on the
purchase money note consisted of outstanding principal and accrued interest of
$700,000 and $1,002,313, respectively, as of September 30, 2001 and $700,000 and
$1,006,797, respectively, as of November 2, 2001. The Managing General Partner
proposed to extend the maturity date of the note until November 2001,
coterminous with the expiration of the Local Partnership's Provisional Workout
Agreement (PWA) related to its mortgage loan, and the noteholders have agreed in
principle to extend the purchase money note to December 2001, while the local
managing general partner negotiates to recast the mortgage loan on the property.
There is no assurance that any agreement for an extension will be reached with
the noteholders, or that the mortgage will be recast.
In addition, on November 3, 1997, Shallowford Oaks' mortgage lender
accelerated the maturity of the Local Partnership's mortgage loan and demanding
payment in full due to a purported nonmonetary default of the PWA with the
lender's predecessor, HUD. Subsequently, the local managing general partner
filed an action to enjoin the attempted foreclosure. The court entered an order
for equitable relief in Shallowford's favor on November 12, 1998. The lender
filed a motion for a new trial and a motion to alter or amend judgment in
December 1998. The court denied the lender's motions by order dated March 24,
1999. Subsequently, the lender filed an appeal to the order for equitable relief
and oral arguments were held on October 13, 1999. In February 2000, the
Partnership received written notification of the court's ruling in its favor. In
connection with the mortgage lender's attempt to foreclose on Shallowford Oaks,
the Partnership filed a countersuit against the mortgage lender. On October 6,
2000, the court of jurisdiction heard the mortgage lender's motion for dismissal
of the countersuit. On May 17, 2001, the court ruled in the lender's favor. For
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership
advanced Shallowford Oaks $270 and $4,285 (net), respectively, for legal costs.
Due to the uncertainties regarding the outcome of an extension of the
maturity date of the purchase money note, there is no assurance that the
Partnership will be able to retain its interest in Shallowford Oaks. In the
event of a foreclosure, the Partnership would also lose its share of any future
cash flow distributed by the Local Partnership from rental operations, mortgage
debt refinancings, or the sale of the real estate. The uncertainty regarding the
continued ownership of the Partnership's interest in Shallowford Oaks does not
adversely impact the Partnership's financial condition because the purchase
money note is nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's interest in
Shallowford Oaks. Therefore, should the investment in Shallowford Oaks
-5-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
2. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS - Continued
not produce sufficient value to satisfy the related purchase money note, the
Partnership's exposure to loss is limited because the amount of the nonrecourse
indebtedness of the matured purchase money note exceeds the carrying amount of
the investment in, and advances to, Shallowford Oaks. Thus, even a complete loss
of the Partnership's interest in Shallowford Oaks would not have a material
adverse impact on the financial condition of the Partnership. However, since the
note remains unpaid, the noteholder has the right to foreclose on the
Partnership's interest in Shallowford Oaks. In the event of a foreclosure, the
excess of the nonrecourse indebtedness over the carrying amount of the
Partnership's investment in Shallowford Oaks would be deemed cancellation of
indebtedness income, which would be taxable to Limited Partners at a federal tax
rate of up to 38.6%. Additionally, in the event of a foreclosure, the
Partnership would lose its investment in Shallowford Oaks and, likewise, its
share of any future cash flow distributed by the Local Partnership from rental
operations, mortgage debt refinancings, or the sale of the real estate. The
Partnership did not receive any distributions from Shallowford Oaks during the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, nor was there any income
or loss from the Local Partnership included in share of income from partnerships
in the statements of operations for the periods then ended.
b. Advances to Local Partnerships
------------------------------
As of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Partnership had
advanced funds, including accrued interest, totaling $289,363 and $772,989 to
Local Partnerships. For financial reporting purposes, these loans have been
reduced to zero by the Partnership as a result of losses at the related Local
Partnership level during prior years.
c. Property matters
----------------
Baltic Plaza
------------
On June 24, 2001, the local managing general partner entered into a
contract to sell the property owned by Sencit Baltic Associates (Baltic Plaza).
There is no assurance that a sale of the property will occur.
Due to the planned sale of the property related to the Partnership's
investment in Baltic Plaza, the Partnership's basis in the Local Partnership,
along with net unamortized acquisition fees and property purchase costs, which
totaled $1,171,741 as of September 30, 2001, have been reclassified to
investment in partnerships held for sale or transfer in the accompanying balance
sheet at September 30, 2001.
Winthrop Beach
--------------
On March 23, 2000, Winthrop Beach Associates (Winthrop Beach) sold its
property. The sale resulted in gain on disposition of investments in
partnerships of $527,850 for financial statement purposes in 2000, and a total
gain of $1,511,575 for federal tax purposes in 2000.

========== ========== =========== ===========
As of September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's share of cumulative
losses to date for seven and eight of the 15 and 16 Local Partnerships exceeded
the amount of the Partnership's investments in and advances to those Local
Partnerships by $5,803,805 and $8,476,833, respectively. As the Partnership has
no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to these Local
Partnerships, the excess losses have not been reflected in the accompanying
financial statements.
3. AFFORDABLE HOUSING LEGISLATION
Traverse City Elderly Limited Partnership (Hillview Terrace), ARA
Associates-Shangri-La Ltd. (Shallowford Oaks) and Warner Housing Partnership
(Warner House) have Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contracts
covering 92%, 20%, and 100%, respectively, of their apartment units, which
contracts expire or were to expire during 2001. Hillview Terrace will renew its
Section 8 HAP contract at current rents. The Shallowford Oaks Section 8 HAP
contract will not be renewed when it expires in November 2001. Warner House
entered the Mark-to-Market program in September 2001, and the Section 8 HAP
contract has been renewed through March 1, 2002 at current rents. In conjunction
therewith, the local managing general partner is currently marketing the
property related to Warner House to not-for-profit entities, which are viewed as
the most likely purchasers for this property. A Section 8 HAP contract
-7-
CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2001 and 2000
(Unaudited)
3. AFFORDABLE HOUSING LEGISLATION - Continued
provides rental subsidies to a property owner for units occupied by low income
tenants. If a Section 8 HAP contract is not extended, there would likely be a
temporary increase in vacancy during the 6 to 12 months after expiration and an
accompanying reduction in rental revenue. As residents in the low-income units
move out, the units would be made available to market-rate residents.
Most of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership is invested have
mortgage loans financed by various state housing agencies, and two Local
Partnerships have mortgage loans financed by the Rural Economic Community
Development (RECD) agency. Further, these Local Partnerships have Section 8 HAP
contracts in place for all or substantially all of their apartment units, which
Section 8 HAP contracts are generally regulated by HUD (the state housing
agencies, RECD and HUD, collectively, the Agencies). These Section 8 HAP
contracts begin to expire, or have been extended to expire, in 2001. Currently,
the Managing General Partner believes that the Agencies will strive to preserve
the units as low income, or affordable, housing by exercising their rights under
the mortgage and/or regulatory agreement to disallow prepayment of the mortgage
or conversion of the units to market rate housing. The Managing General Partner
continues to monitor the actions of the Agencies to assess how the Agencies will
deal with expiring Section 8 HAP contracts and what impact the Agencies'
strategies will have on the operations of the Local Partnerships and,
consequently, the impact on the Partnership's investments in the Local
Partnerships. As of September 30, 2001, the Partnership's remaining investment
in Local Partnerships with Section 8 HAP contracts expiring in the next 12
months was $519,973.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
is obligated to reimburse the Managing General Partner for its direct expenses
in connection with managing the Partnership. The Partnership paid $32,074 and
$93,501 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001,
respectively, and $22,771 and $78,375 for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000, respectively, to the Managing General Partner as direct
reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership. Such expenses
are included in the accompanying statements of operations as general and
administrative expenses.
In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
is obligated to pay the Managing General Partner an annual incentive management
fee (Management Fee) after all other expenses of the Partnership are paid. The
Partnership paid the Managing General Partner a Management Fee of $23,802 and
$71,406 for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001
and 2000.

or the property it owns, payable under certain conditions upon the sale of an
investment in a Local Partnership or the property it owns. The payment of the
fee is subject to certain restrictions, including the achievement of a certain
level of sales proceeds and making certain minimum distributions to limited
partners. No such fees were earned by the Managing General Partner or its
affiliates for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 or 2000.

Capital Realty Investors, Ltd.'s (the Partnership) Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section contains
information that may be considered forward looking, including statements
regarding the effect of governmental regulations. Actual results may differ
materially from those described in the forward looking statements and will be
affected by a variety of factors including national and local economic
conditions, the general level of interest rates, governmental regulations
affecting the Partnership and interpretations of those regulations, the
competitive environment in which the Partnership operates, and the availability
of working capital.
General
-------
C.R.I., Inc. (the Managing General Partner) continues to evaluate the
Partnership's underlying apartment complexes to develop strategies that make
sense for all parties involved. Issues that are at the forefront of the Managing
General Partner's strategic planning include: the maturity of purchase money
notes, the expiration of Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts,
the restrictions on properties with state housing agency financing or Rural
Economic Community Development (RECD) agency financing, the cessation of losses
to the Partnership due to the complete depletion of low-income housing
accelerated depreciation deductions on the Local Partnerships' properties, and
the reduction of mortgage interest deductions as the mortgage loans move closer
to maturity.
Traverse City Elderly Limited Partnership (Hillview Terrace), ARA
Associates-Shangri-La Ltd. (Shallowford Oaks) and Warner Housing Partnership
(Warner House) have Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contracts
covering 92%, 20%, and 100%, respectively, of their apartment units, which
contracts expire or were to expire during 2001. Hillview Terrace will renew its
Section 8 HAP contract at current rents. The Shallowford Oaks Section 8 HAP
contract will not be renewed when it expires in November 2001. Warner House
entered the Mark-to-Market program in September 2001, and the Section 8 HAP
contract has been renewed through March 1, 2002 at current rents. In conjunction
therewith, the local managing general partner is currently marketing the
property related to Warner House to not-for-profit entities, which are viewed as
the most likely purchasers for this property. A Section 8 HAP contract provides
rental subsidies to a property owner for units occupied by low income tenants.
If a Section 8 HAP contract is not extended, there would likely be a temporary
increase in vacancy during the 6 to 12 months after expiration and an
accompanying reduction in rental revenue. As residents in the low-income units
move out, the units would be made available to market-rate residents.
Most of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership is invested have
mortgage loans financed by various state housing agencies, and two Local
Partnerships have mortgage loans financed by the Rural Economic Community
Development (RECD) agency. Further, these Local Partnerships have Section 8 HAP
contracts in place for all or substantially all of their apartment units, which
Section 8 HAP contracts are generally regulated by HUD (the state housing
agencies, RECD and HUD, collectively, the Agencies). These Section 8 HAP
contracts begin to expire, or have been extended to expire, in 2001. Currently,
the Managing General Partner believes that the Agencies will strive to preserve
the units as low income, or affordable, housing by exercising their rights under
the mortgage and/or regulatory agreement to disallow prepayment of the mortgage
or conversion of the units to market rate housing. The Managing General Partner
continues to monitor the actions of the Agencies to assess how the Agencies will
deal with expiring Section 8 HAP contracts and what impact the Agencies'
strategies will have on the operations of the Local Partnerships and,
consequently, the impact on the Partnership's investments in the Local
Partnerships. As of September 30, 2001, the Partnership's remaining investment
in Local Partnerships with Section 8 HAP contracts expiring in the next 12
months was $519,973.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
------------------------------------
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued
------------------------------------------------
Sales of properties with state agency or RECD financing will be extremely
difficult. Since the Agencies are unlikely to allow mortgage prepayment and/or
sale for a conversion to market rate housing, prospective buyers are generally
limited to tax credit buyers or not-for-profit organizations. Generally,
purchase offers received from these organizations tend to be much lower per
apartment unit than those from profit-motivated companies.
Financial Condition/Liquidity
-----------------------------
The Partnership's liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $3,845,691
as of September 30, 2001, along with anticipated future cash distributions from
the Local Partnerships, is expected to be adequate to meet its current and
anticipated operating cash needs. As of November 2, 2001, there were no material
commitments for capital expenditures.
The Partnership is the maker of a purchase money note which has matured and
has not been paid with respect to ARA Associates-Shangri-La Ltd. (Shallowford
Oaks). The purchase money note accrues interest and requires payment in full of
all unpaid accrued interest and principal upon the occurrence of certain events,
such as the sale or refinancing of the underlying apartment complex or the
maturity of the purchase money note. The purchase money note, which is
nonrecourse to the Partnership is secured by the Partnership's interest in the
Local Partnership. The total amount due on the purchase money note consisted of
outstanding principal and accrued interest of $700,000 and $1,002,313,
respectively, as of September 30, 2001.
The Partnership's inability to pay the purchase money note principal and
accrued interest balances when due, and the resulting uncertainty regarding the
Partnership's continued ownership interest in Shallowford Oaks, does not
adversely impact the Partnership's financial condition because the purchase
money note is nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's interest in
Shallowford Oaks. Therefore, should the investment in Shallowford Oaks not
produce sufficient value to satisfy the related purchase money note, the
Partnership's exposure to loss is limited because the amount of the nonrecourse
indebtedness of the matured purchase money note exceeds the carrying amount of
the investment in, and advances to, Shallowford Oaks. Thus, even a complete loss
of the Partnership's interest in Shallowford Oaks would not have a material
adverse impact on the financial condition of the Partnership. However, since the
note remains unpaid, the noteholder may have the right to foreclose on the
Partnership's interest in Shallowford Oaks. In the event of a foreclosure, the
excess of the nonrecourse indebtedness over the carrying amount of the
Partnership's investment in Shallowford Oaks would be deemed cancellation of
indebtedness income, which would be taxable to Limited Partners at a federal tax
rate of up to 38.6%. Additionally, in the event of a foreclosure, the
Partnership would lose its investment in Shallowford Oaks and, likewise, its
share of any future cash flow distributed by Shallowford Oaks from rental
operations, mortgage debt refinancings, or the sale of the real estate. The
Partnership did not receive any distributions from Shallowford Oaks during the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, nor was there any income
or loss from the Local Partnership included in share of income from partnerships
in the statements of operations for the periods then ended. See the notes to
financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1, hereof, for additional
information concerning this purchase money note.
The Partnership closely monitors its cash flow and liquidity position in an
effort to ensure that sufficient cash is available for operating requirements.
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the receipt of
distributions from Local Partnerships was adequate to support operating cash
requirements. Cash and cash equivalents increased during the nine month period
ended September 30, 2001, as the receipt of distributions from partnerships
exceeded net cash used in operating activities.

------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
The Partnership's net income for the three month period ended September 30,
2001 increased from the corresponding period in 2000 primarily due to a decrease
in interest expense due to a lower purchase money note balance. Contributing to
the increase in the Partnership's net income was an increase of share of income
from partnerships generally due to higher income at three properties and lower
operating expenses at two properties, partially offset by higher operating
expenses at two properties. A decrease in amortization of deferred costs related
to the transfer of Lake Properties Limited Partnership (Frenchman's Wharf I)
also contributed to the increase in net income. Partially offsetting the
Partnership's increase in net income was a decrease in interest income due to
lower interest rates. Also partially offsetting the increase in net income were
an increase in general and administrative expenses due to higher reimbursed
payroll costs, and an increase in professional fees related to audit and legal
fees.
The Partnership's net income for the nine month period ended September 30,
2001 increased from the corresponding period in 2000 primarily due to
extraordinary gain from extinguishment of debt, and also due to lower interest
expense and lower amortization of deferred costs, all related to the transfer of
Frenchman's Wharf I, as discussed in the notes to financial statements.
Partially offsetting the increase in the Partnership's net income were a
decrease in share of income from partnerships generally related to an increase
in operating expenses at three properties, a decrease in interest income due to
lower interest rates, an increase in general and administrative expenses due to
higher reimbursed payroll costs, an increase in professional fees related to a
market study at one property, higher audit and legal fees, and a loss on
disposition of investments in partnerships in the 2001 period, compared to a
gain in the 2000 period.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership, as a limited partner in
the Local Partnerships, does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in
excess of its investment to the extent that the Partnership has no further
obligation to advance funds or provide financing to the Local Partnerships. As a
result, the Partnership's share of income from partnerships for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2001, did not include losses of $43,047
and $129,142, respectively, compared to the excluded losses of $133,803 and
$401,410 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000,
respectively.
No other significant changes in the Partnership's operations have taken
place during this period.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
-------------------------------
See Note 2.a. of the notes to financial statements contained in Part I,
Item 1, hereof, for information concerning the Partnership's defaults on two
purchase money notes.
Item 5. Other Information
-----------------
There is no established market for the purchase and sale of units of
limited partner interest (Units) in the Partnership, although various informal
secondary market services exist. Due to the limited markets, however, investors
may be unable to sell or otherwise dispose of their Units.
Tender offers
-------------
On October 2, 2000, Equity Resource Lexington Fund Limited Partnership
(Lexington) initiated an unregistered tender offer to purchase approximately
1,200 of the outstanding Units in the Partnership at a price of $20 per Unit;
the offer expired November 2, 2000. Lexington is unaffiliated with the
Partnership or the Managing General Partner. The price offered was determined
solely at the discretion of Lexington and does not necessarily represent the
fair value of each Unit.
On March 13, 2001, Bond Purchase, L.L.C. (Bond) initiated an unregistered
tender offer to purchase approximately 1,200 of the outstanding Units in the
Partnership at a price of $37 per Unit; the offer expired April 30, 2001. Bond
is unaffiliated with the Partnership or the Managing General Partner. The price
offered was determined solely at the discretion of Bond and does not necessarily
represent the fair market value of each Unit.
The Managing General Partner did not express any opinion and remained
neutral toward the offers for the purchase of Units described above.
On September 20, 2001, Lexington initiated a registered tender offer to
purchase 4,953 of the outstanding Units in the Partnership at a price of $75 per
Unit; the offer expired November 2, 2001. The price offered was determined
solely at the discretion of Lexington and does not necessarily represent the
fair market value of each Unit.
In response to this Lexington offer, on September 28, 2001, the Managing
General Partner filed a Schedule 14D-9. In that filing, the Managing General
Partner recommended that Limited Partners reject the Lexington offer because it
viewed the offer price as inadequate.
During 2001, a number of investors sold their Units in the Partnership to
other investors. If more than five percent of the total outstanding Units in the
Partnership are transferred due to sale in any one calendar year (not counting
certain exempt transfers), the Partnership could be taxed as a "publicly traded
partnership," with potentially severe tax implications for the Partnership and
its investors. Specifically, the Partnership could be taxed as a corporation
and, if so, the income and losses from the Partnership would no longer be
considered a passive activity. From January 1, 2001, through January 17, 2001,
the Partnership received sale transfer requests for approximately 4.7% of the
outstanding Units. Accordingly, to remain within the five percent safe harbor,
effective January 18, 2001, the Managing General Partner halted recognition of
any transfers that would exceed the safe harbor limit through December 31, 2001.
As a result, transfers of Units due to sales transactions are not being
recognized by the Partnership between January 18, 2001 and December 31, 2001.
The halt will be lifted effective January 1, 2002.
Cash distribution
-----------------
The Managing General Partner has approved a cash distribution of $496,400
to Additional Limited Partners who were holders of record as of October 1, 2001.
The distribution will be paid in November 2001.
