PART I

ITEM 1.                      BUSINESS

Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was formed under the District of Columbia Limited Partnership Act on June 1, 1981, and shall continue until December 31, 2030, unless sooner dissolved in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  On December 31, 1981, the Partnership commenced offering 30,000 units of limited partner interest through a public offering managed by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated.  The Partnership closed the offering on December 31, 1982, at which time 24,837 units of limited partner interest had become subscribed.  As of December 31, 2012, 90 units of limited partner interest had been abandoned.

The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (“CRI”), which is the Managing General Partner, current and former shareholders of CRI and Rockville Pike Associates, Ltd., a Maryland limited partnership which includes the shareholders of CRI and certain former officers and employees of CRI.  Services for the Partnership are performed by CRI, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.

The Partnership was formed to invest in real estate, which is the Partnership's principal business activity, by acquiring and holding limited partner interests in limited partnerships (“Local Partnerships”).  The Partnership originally made investments in eighteen Local Partnerships.  As of December 31, 2012, the Partnership retained investments in three Local Partnerships.  The original objectives of these investments, not necessarily in order of importance, were to:

(i) preserve and protect the Partnership's capital;

(ii) provide, during the early years of the Partnership's operations, current tax benefits to the partners in the form of tax losses which the partners could use to offset income from other sources;

(iii) provide capital appreciation through increases in the value of the Partnership's investments and increased equity through periodic payments on the indebtedness of the apartment complexes; and

(iv) provide cash distributions from sale or refinancing of the Partnership's investments and, on a limited basis, from rental operations.

See Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for a discussion of factors affecting the original investment objectives.

The Local Partnerships in which the Partnership invested were organized by private developers who acquired the sites, or options thereon, applied for mortgage financing and applicable mortgage insurance and/or subsidies, and who generally remain as the local general partners in the Local Partnerships.  In most cases, the local general partners of the Local Partnerships retain responsibility for maintaining, operating and managing the projects.  However, under certain circumstances, the Local Partnerships’ partnership agreements permit removal of the local general partner and replacement with another local general partner or with an affiliate of the Partnership's Managing General Partner.

As a result of its investment in the Local Partnerships, the Partnership became the principal limited partner in eighteen (three remaining as of December 31, 2012) Local Partnerships.  As a limited partner, the Partnership's legal liability for obligations of the Local Partnerships is limited to its investment.  In most cases, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership is also a general partner of the Local Partnerships.  The local general partners and affiliates of the Managing General Partner may operate other apartment complexes which may be in competition for eligible tenants with the Local Partnerships' apartment complexes.

(c) There was no distributions paid during 2012. However, a distribution was recommended and approved in December 2012 of $5,939,280 ($240 per Unit). This distribution was paid subsequent to December 31, 2012.

Item 6.             SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Capital Realty Investors, Ltd.’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is based on the financial statements, and 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Partnership has disclosed its selection and application of significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the notes to financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2012.  The Partnership accounts for its investments in partnerships (Local Partnerships) by the equity method because the Partnership is a limited partner in the Local Partnerships.  As such the Partnership has no control over the selection and application of accounting policies, or the use of estimates, by the Local Partnerships.  Environmental and operational trends, events and uncertainties that might affect the properties owned by the Local Partnerships would not necessarily have a significant impact on the Partnership’s application of the equity method of accounting, since the equity method has been suspended for one Local Partnership which has cumulative losses in excess of the amount of the Partnership’s investment in that Local Partnership.  The Partnership reviews property assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If an asset was determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss.

GAAP provides guidance on when a company should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE.  Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics:  (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the entity that will receive a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE’s expected residual returns, or both.

The Partnership does not consolidate the Partnership's interests in these VIE’s under this guidance, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. Accounting guidance requires continued reconsideration as to the consideration of the primary beneficiary.  The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheet, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements. 

II-1

The Partnership’s balance in investment in Local Partnerships represents its maximum exposure to loss.  The Partnership’s exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying properties as well as the strength of the local general partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement:Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS". This update amends the guidance on fair value measurements to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This ASU does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The Partnership adopted this update as of January 1, 2012 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Partnership's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2012.

General

The Partnership has invested, through Local Partnerships, primarily in federal or state government-assisted apartment complexes intended to provide housing to the elderly and/or to low and moderate income tenants.  In conjunction with such governmental assistance, which may include federal and/or state financing at below-market interest rates and rental subsidies, the Local Partnerships agreed to regulatory limitations on (i) cash distributions, (ii) use of the properties, and (iii) sale or refinancing.  These limitations typically were designed to remain in place for the life of the mortgage.

C.R.I., Inc. (the Managing General Partner) continues to evaluate the Partnership’s underlying apartment complexes to develop strategies that maximize the benefits to investors. Numerous variables, including adverse general economic conditions, as well as Local Partnership agreements and regulatory restrictions impact the ability and timing of effectuating the sale of certain properties owned by the Local Partnerships or the Partnership’s interests in the Local Partnerships.  The Managing General Partner continues to explore strategies that will result in the sale of properties owned by the Local Partnerships or the Partnership’s interests in the Local Partnerships at terms advantageous to the Partnership.  While the Managing General Partner cannot predict the outcome for any particular property at this time, the Managing General Partner will continue to work with the Local Partnerships to develop strategies that maximize the benefits to investors.

Financial Condition/Liquidity

As of December 31, 2012, the Partnership had approximately 1,276 investors who held a total of 24,747 units of limited partner interest which were originally sold for the aggregate amount of $24,747,000. The Partnership originally made investments in eighteen Local Partnerships, of which three remain at December 31, 2012.  The Partnership’s liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $7,674,174 as of December 31, 2012, 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 May 15, 2013, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures.

During 2012 and 2011, the Partnership received cash distributions of $27,437 and $51,316, respectively, from the Local Partnerships.

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 year ended December 31, 2012, existing cash resources and the receipt of distributions from Local Partnerships were adequate to support net cash used in operating activities.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $5,479,307 during 2012, primarily due to proceeds received related to the sale of Capital Commons and Hillview Terrace.

Results of Operations

2012 versus 2011

The Partnership recognized a net income of $1,767,053 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to a net income of $852,463 for the year ended 2011, primarily due to the gain recorded related to the sale of Capitol Commons and Hillview Terrace.

II-2

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 years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, did not include losses of $0 and $115,426, respectively.  Distributions of $0 and $7,219 were received from one Local Partnership during 2012 and 2011, respectively, for which the Partnership’s carrying value is zero (equity method suspended), were recorded as increases in the Partnership’s share of income from partnerships in the year received.

Inflation

Inflation allows for increases in rental rates, usually offsetting any higher operating and replacement costs.  Furthermore, inflation generally does not impact the fixed rate long-term financing under which the Partnership’s real property investments were purchased.  Future inflation could allow for appreciated values of the Local Partnerships’ properties over an extended period of time as rental revenues and replacement values gradually increase.

The combined rental revenues of the Partnership’s remaining properties for the two years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 follow.  Combined rental revenue amounts include rental revenue through the date of sale for the sale of a property or limited partner interest.

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012				2011
Combined Rental Revenue	$	4,925,744			$5,835,632

ITEM 8.          FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The information required by this item is contained in Part IV.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

The Partnership was informed by Reznick Group, P.C. ("Reznick Group"), the Partnership's independent registered public accounting firm, that it had entered into a business combination with J. H. Cohn LLP (J.H. Cohn). In connection with the business combination J. H. Cohn legally changed its name to CohnReznick LLP ("CohnReznick") and continues to be registered with the PCAOB. On November 8, 2012, Reznick Group resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Effective as of November 8, 2012, the Audit Committee of the Partnership's Board of Directors has appointed CohnReznick as the Partnership's independent registered public accounting firm.

Reznick Group's reports on the Partnership's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and through the subsequent interim period ended November 8, 2012 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the subsequent interim period through November 8, 2012, there were (i) no disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Partnership and Reznick Group on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,

II-3

or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Reznick Group would have caused Reznick Group to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company's financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period through November 8, 2012, neither the Partnership, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted CohnReznick regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the financial statements of the Partnership, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Partnership by CohnReznick that was an important factor considered by the Partnership in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Partnership's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures ( as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

The General Partner must rely on the Local Limited Partnerships to provide the Partnership with certain information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports. Factors in the accounting at the Local Limited Partnerships have caused delays in the provision of such information during past reporting periods, and resulted in the Partnership’s inability to file its periodic reports in a timely manner.

Once the Partnership has received the necessary information from the Local Limited Partnerships, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer believe that the material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is effectively recorded, processed, summarized and reported, albeit not in a timely manner. Going forward, the Partnership will use the means reasonably within its power to impose procedures designed to obtain from the Local Limited Partnerships the information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The General Partner is responsible for establishing and maintaining for the Partnership adequate internal control over financial reporting as that term is defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. The internal control process, as it is applicable to the Partnership, was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, and includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;

(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and that the Partnership’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of the management of the Partnership; and

(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements

II-4

PART II

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES - Continued

All internal control processes, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those processes determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Representatives of the General Partner assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, as it is applicable to the Partnership, as of the end of the Partnership’s most recent fiscal year. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its assessment, the General Partner has concluded that, for the reasons set forth above under “Disclosure controls and procedures,” the internal control over financial reporting, as it is applicable to the Partnership, was not effective as of December 31, 2012. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership's independent registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management's report in this annual report.

For purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the term “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in a reporting company’s internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  For the reasons discussed above in this Item 9A, sub-section (a) under the caption “Disclosure Controls and Procedures,” the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting has not been effective in permitting timely reporting of the Partnership’s financial information.  Accordingly, the management of the Partnership believes that this inability to generate timely reports constitutes a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Certain states may assert claims against the Partnership for failure to withhold and remit state income tax on operating profit or where the sale(s) of property in which the Partnership was invested failed to produce sufficient cash proceeds with which to pay the state tax and/or to pay statutory partnership filing fees.  The Partnership is unable to quantify the amount of such potential claims at this time. The Partnership has consistently advised its Partners that they should consult with their tax advisors as to the necessity of filing non-resident returns in such states with respect to their proportional taxes due.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership incurred professional fees for the services of the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firms of Reznick Group and CohnReznick as follows:

	2012		2011
Audit fees (1)	$	97,000	$	64,250
Tax fees (2)	13,000		13,000
Total billed	$	110,000	$	77,250

(1) Principally fees for the audit of the Partnership’s annual financial statements, the independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Partnership’s quarterly financial statements, and services provided in connection with the Partnership’s regulatory filings.

(1) Fees for preparation of Partnership federal and state tax returns.

The Partnership has no directors or officers.  The Board of Directors of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, serving as the Audit Committee, has approved in advance 100% of the fees paid to, and services provided by the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm. Prior to approving the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm providing any non-audit services, the Board of Directors of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership would assess whether the provision of those services would compromise the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm independence.

On November 8, 2012, Reznick Group resigned as the Partnership's independent registered public accounting firm after the filing of the Partnership's 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012. CohnReznick was engaged as the Partnership's new independent registered public accounting firm and performed the fiscal 2012 year end audit. CohnReznick also provided partnership tax return preparation services for the year ended December 31, 2012 and Reznick Group provided partnership tax return preparation services for the year ended December 31, 2011, which services it was determined did not compromise CohnReznick's or Reznick Group's independence.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS, LTD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.           ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Organization

Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. (the Partnership) was formed under the District of Columbia Limited Partnership Act on June 1, 1981, and shall continue until December 31, 2030, unless sooner dissolved in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership was formed to invest in real estate by acquiring and holding limited partner interests in limited partnerships (Local Partnerships) that own and operate federal or state government-assisted properties or properties which provide housing principally to the elderly or to individuals and families of low or moderate income, or conventionally financed apartment properties, located throughout the United States.

The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), which is the Managing General Partner, current and former shareholders of CRI, and Rockville Pike Associates, Ltd., a Maryland limited partnership which includes the shareholders of CRI and certain former officers and employees of CRI.

The Partnership sold 24,837 units at $1,000 per unit of limited partner interest through a public offering.  The offering period was terminated on December 31, 1982.  As of December 31, 2012, 90 units of limited partner interest had been abandoned.

b. Method of accounting

The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

c. Variable interest entities

GAAP provides guidance on when a company should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE.  Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics:  (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the entity that will receive a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE’s expected residual returns, or both.

The Partnership does not consolidate the Partnership's interests in these VIE’s under this guidance, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. Accounting guidance requires continued reconsideration as to the consideration of the primary beneficiary.  The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheet, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements.

The Partnership’s balance in investment in Local Partnerships represents its maximum exposure to loss.  The Partnership’s exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying properties as well as the strength of the local general partners.

IV-10

CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS, LTD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

d. Investments in and advances to partnerships

The Partnership’s investment in Local Partnerships is considered to be variable interest entities (VIEs) because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Local Partnerships since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities.  Therefore, and because the Partnership is a limited partner in the Local Partnerships, the Partnership accounts for the investment in its Local Partnerships using the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method, the initial investment is recorded at cost, increased or decreased by the Partnership’s share of income or losses, and decreased by distributions received and syndication costs.  The investment balance cannot be reduced below zero.  After the investment account is reduced to zero, receivables due from the Local Partnership are decreased by the Partnership’s share of losses.  Distributions received after the investment account is reduced to zero are recorded as income.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership's share of cumulative losses for three and four of the Local Partnerships exceeded the amount of the Partnership's investments in and advances to those Local Partnerships by $2,898,119 and $3,356,064, respectively.  Since 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.   The Partnership’s carrying value is zero and the equity method has been suspended for the following Local Partnership as of December 31, 2012: New Sharon Woods. The Partnership’s carrying value is zero and the equity method has been suspended for the following three Local Partnerships as of December 31, 2011: Hillview Terrace, New Sharon Woods and Shallowford Oaks. Distributions of $7,219 received from one Local Partnership during 2011, for which the Partnership’s carrying value is zero (equity method suspended) were recorded as increases in the Partnership’s share of income from partnerships in the year received.

Costs incurred in connection with acquiring these investments have been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties owned by the Local Partnerships.

e. Deferred Costs

Acquisition Fees and Property Purchase Costs incurred for services rendered to acquire the Local Partnerships are amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method, beginning upon commencement of operations of the Local Partnerships.  The Partnership regularly assesses deferred costs for the existence of impairment in conjunction with the assessment of its investment in Local Partnerships. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $4,884 and $7,631, respectively.  Estimated amortization expense for each of the ensuing years through December 31, 2017 is $2,139.

The Partnership sold its interest in two Local Partnerships during 2012. Therefore, deferred costs of $117,142 and associated accumulated amortization of $88,102 were written off. During 2012, this amount is included in gain on sale of interest in Local Partnership on the statements of operations.

One Local Partnership was foreclosed on during 2011.  Therefore, deferred costs of $123,079 and associated accumulated amortization of $91,816 were written off.  During 2011, this net amount of $31,263 is included in loss of foreclosure of Local Partnership on the statements of operations.

f. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market funds, time and demand deposits, and repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less.  Interest income is recognized as earned.

g. Income taxes

The Partnership has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Partnership’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Partnership is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Partnership has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

IV-11

CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS, LTD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

Accounting guidance conveys how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The guidance requires the evaluation of tax positions in the course of preparing the Partnership's tax returns to determine whether tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-than-likely threshold would not be recognized as tax expense in the current year. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership did not recognize any interest or penalties related to the income taxes in the its financial statements. Generally, the tax returns filed with the various taxing authorities remain available for audit subject to statutes of limitation specific to those jurisdictions. Income tax returns filed by the Partnership are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2009 remain open.

h. Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Partnership is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

i. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

1. Level 1 Inputs -- quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

2. Level 2 Inputs -- observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

3. Level 3 Inputs -- unobservable inputs.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The balance sheet carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

j. Impairment analysis

The Partnership reviews property assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  Impairment for investments in partnerships is determined by review of the performance of the underlying asset and expected proceeds from the sale of the investment.  If an asset were determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no impairment loss was recognized.

k. Allocation of net income (loss)

Net income (loss) is allocated based on respective partnership interest or units outstanding.  The Partnership has no dilutive interests.

l. Subsequent events

Events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements were available to be issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the balance sheet date require disclosure in the accompanying notes. Management evaluated the activity of the Partnership and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements. See Note 2.d. and Note 4 for disclosure of subsequent events.

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

m. Recent accounting pronouncements

In 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement:Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS". This update amends the guidance on fair value measurements to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This ASU does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The Partnership adopted this update as of January 1, 2012 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Partnership's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2012.

2.           INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS

a.           Interests in profits, losses and cash distributions made by Local Partnerships

The Partnership has a 98.00% to 98.98% interest in profits, losses and cash distributions (as restricted by various federal and state housing agencies) (collectively, the “Agencies”) of each Local Partnership.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership is also a general partner of each Local Partnership.  As stipulated by the Local Partnerships’ partnership agreements, the Local Partnerships are required to make annual cash distributions from surplus cash flow, if any.  During 2012 and 2011, the Partnership received cash distributions from rental operations of the Local Partnerships of $27,437 and $51,316, respectively.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, one and two of the Local Partnerships had aggregate surplus cash, as defined by their respective regulatory Agencies, in the amounts of $35,863 and $1,238,617, respectively, which may be available for distribution in accordance with their respective regulatory Agencies' regulations.

The cash distributions to the Partnership from the operations of the Local Partnerships may be limited by the Agencies' regulations.  Such regulations limit annual cash distributions to a percentage of the owner's equity investment in a rental property.  Funds in excess of those which may be distributed to owners are generally required to be placed in a residual receipts account held by the governing state or federal agency for the benefit of the property.  In addition, local general partners have the authority to withhold funds if needed for property repairs, improvements, or other property needs.

Upon sale or refinancing of a property owned by a Local Partnership, or upon the liquidation of a Local Partnership, the proceeds from such sale, refinancing or liquidation shall be distributed in accordance with the respective provisions of each Local Partnership's partnership agreement.  In accordance with such provisions, the Partnership would receive from such proceeds its respective percentage interest of any remaining proceeds, after payment of (i) all debts and liabilities of the Local Partnership and certain other items, (ii) the Partnership's capital contributions plus certain specified amounts as outlined in each partnership agreement, and (iii) certain special distributions to general partners and related entities of the Local Partnership.

fees and property purchase costs netted against the gain on sale of interest in Local Partnership were $21,575. The Partnership's investment basis at the date of sale was $5,183,461 and was written off and included in the gain on sale of interest in Local Partnership. The net gain recognized for the sale was $565,292.

c.         Advance to Local Partnership

As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership had advanced funds, including accrued interest, totaling $1,008,738 to ARA Associates-Shangri-La Ltd. (Shallowford Oaks). On April 15, 2010, the Partnership advanced $100,000 to Shallowford Oaks for operating expenses. The Partnership accrued $28,390 to interest receivable on the advances to Shallowford Oaks as of December 31, 2011. For financial reporting purposes, these loans have been reduced to zero by the Partnership as a result of losses at the Local Partnership level during prior years. As a result, the amount advanced and accrued interest has been reflected as a reduction of share of income from the Partnership in 2011.

In January 2011, the Shallowford Oaks property was unable to meet its debt service requirements and was therefore in default with regards to the mortgage encumbering the property. In February 2011, the mortgage lender for the mortgage encumbering the property sent notice accelerating the debt. On November 1, 2011, the mortgage holder for Shallowford Oaks, LSREF2, LLC, foreclosed on the property and became the new owner of the property pursuant to a non-judicial foreclosure sale under the power of sale clause contained in its law documents. As a result of the foreclosure all of the assets and liabilities of the Local Partnership were written off as of December 31, 2011. The resulting loss of the foreclosure was $31,263 and is recorded on the statements of operations as loss from foreclosure on Local Partnership. During 2011, the Local Partnership was wound up, and the Partnershiop no longer holds a limited partner interest in the Local Partnership.

d.           Property matters

Baltic Plaza

On December 19, 2002, the Local Partnership which owned the Baltic Plaza apartments sold the property. Cash proceeds received by the Partnership totaled $2,053,358.  As part of the consideration, the Local Partnership took back a 30-year purchase money note in the principal amount of $2,300,000, collateralized by the partnership interests of the general partner of the maker/purchaser.  The Local Partnership assigned the purchase money note to an escrow for the benefit of its partners (with CRI serving as escrow agent), so that the Local Partnership entity could be dissolved.  The purchase money note bears interest at 4.60% compounded annually, and requires a minimum annual payment equal to 50% of the maker/purchaser’s annual audited cash flow, as defined, with the balance of unpaid principal, if any, plus accrued interest, due and payable on December 31, 2032.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no payments of principal or interest have been received on this purchase money note.  The Partnership’s 98% beneficial interest in this purchase money note is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, at its original principal balance of $2,300,000 plus estimated accrued but unpaid interest, all discounted to $619,000 to provide for an effective interest rate commensurate with the investment risk.  The resulting discounted amount has been fully reserved due to uncertainty of collection of the purchase money note and related interest.

On November 28, 2012, the Partnership entered an agreement to sell the note to an affiliate of the SP Baltic Plaza, LP for a sale price of $2,000,000. The note sold on April 29, 2013. The Partnership received $1,960,000 in proceeds from the sale of the note.

e.           Summarized financial information

net income to taxable income

For federal income tax purposes, the Local Partnerships report on a basis whereby:  (i) certain revenue and the related assets are recorded when received rather than when earned; (ii) certain costs are expensed when paid or incurred rather than capitalized and amortized over the period of benefit; and (iii) a shorter life is used to compute depreciation on the property as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code and the underlying regulations.  These returns are subject to examination and, therefore, possible adjustment by the IRS.

3.           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership paid the Managing General Partner a fee for services in connection with the review, selection, evaluation, negotiation and initial acquisition of the original interests in the Local Partnerships.  The fee amounted to $993,480, which is equal to four percent of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the Partnership.  The acquisition fee was capitalized and is being amortized over a 40-year period using the straight-line method.

In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to reimburse the Managing General Partner or its affiliates for certain direct expenses and payroll expenses in connection with managing the Partnership.  Payroll expenses are reimbursed at a factor of 1.75 times base salary.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership paid $119,820 and $166,466 respectively, to the Managing General Partner or its affiliates as direct reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership.  In addition, certain employees of the Managing General Partner provided legal and tax accounting services to the Partnership.  These are reimbursed comparable to third party service charges.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership paid $138,538 and $69,420, respectively, to the Managing General Partner or its affiliates for these services.  Such reimbursed 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 amount of the Management Fee shall be equal to 0.25% of original invested assets, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and shall be payable from the Partnership's cash available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, as of the end of each calendar year, as follows:

(i) First, on a monthly basis as an operating expense before any distributions to limited partners in an annual amount equal to $95,208; and

IV-19

CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS, LTD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

(ii) Second, after distributions to the limited partners in the amount of one percent of the gross proceeds of the offering, the balance of such 0.25% of invested assets.

For each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership paid the Managing General Partner a Management Fee of $95,208.

In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Managing General Partner and/or its affiliates may receive a fee of not more than five percent of the sales price of an investment in a Local Partnership 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. During 2012, the fee was calculated based on the hypothetical sale of the properties. During the year ended December 31, 2012 fees of $567,000 were incurred and paid.

4.           PARTNERSHIP PROFITS AND LOSSES, AND DISTRIBUTIONS

All profits and losses are allocated 97% to the limited partners and 3% to the General Partners.  The net proceeds resulting from the liquidation of the Partnership or the Partnership's share of the net proceeds from any sale or refinancing of the Local Partnerships or their rental properties which are not reinvested shall be distributed and applied as follows:

(i) to the payment of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including all expenses of the Partnership incident to the sale or refinancing) other than loans or other debts and liabilities of the Partnership to any partner or any affiliate; such debts and liabilities, in the case of a non-liquidating distribution, to be only those which are then required to be paid or, in the judgment of the Managing General Partner, required to be provided for;

(ii) to the establishment of any reserves which the Managing General Partner deems reasonably necessary for contingent, unmatured or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership;

(iii) to the limited partners in the amount of their capital contributions without deduction for prior cash distributions other than prior distributions of proceeds from any sale or refinancing;

(iv) to the repayment of any unrepaid loans theretofore made by any partner or any affiliate to the Partnership for Partnership obligations and to the payment of any unpaid amounts owing to the General Partners pursuant to the Partnership Agreement;

(v) to the General Partners in the amount of their capital contributions;

(vi) thereafter, for their services to the Partnership, in equal shares to certain general partners (or their designees), whether or not any is then a general partner, an aggregate fee of one percent of the gross proceeds resulting from (A) such sale (if the proceeds are from a sale rather than a refinancing) and (B) any prior sales from which such one percent fee was not paid to the General Partners or their designees; and,

(vii) the remainder, 15% to the General Partner (or their assignees) and 85% to the limited partners (or their assignees). Fees payable to certain general partners (or their designees) under (vi) above, together with all other property disposition fees and any other commissions or fees payable upon the sale of apartment properties, shall not in the aggregate exceed the lesser of the competitive rate or six percent of the sales price of the apartment properties.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, all cash available for distribution, as defined, shall be distributed, not less frequently than annually,97% to the limited partners and 3% to the General Partners, after payment of the Management Fee (see Note 3), as specified in the Partnership Agreement.  On July 26, 2010, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $742,000 ($30 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of July 1, 2010. There was no distributions paid in 2012 or 2011. However, a distribution was recommended and approved in December 2012 of $5,939,280 ($240 per Unit). The distribution was paid subsequent to December 31, 2012.

As defined in the Partnership Agreement, after the payment of the distributions described in the previous paragraph, after the establishment of any reserves deemed necessary by the Managing General Partner and after payment of the Management Fee, the Partnership had no remaining cash available for distribution for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The Managing General Partner currently intends to retain all of the Partnership's remaining undistributed cash for operating cash reserves.

5.       RECONCILIATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT NET INCOME TO TAXABLE INCOME

For federal income tax purposes, the Partnership reports on a basis whereby:  (i) certain expenses are amortized rather than expensed when incurred; (ii) certain costs are amortized over a shorter period for tax purposes, as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code and underlying regulations, and (iii) certain costs are amortized over a longer period for tax purposes.  The Partnership records

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Investments In and Advances to Partnerships

  INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS

a.           Interests in profits, losses and cash distributions made by Local Partnerships

The Partnership has a 98.00% to 98.98% interest in profits, losses and cash distributions (as restricted by various federal and state housing agencies) (collectively, the “Agencies”) of each Local Partnership.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership is also a general partner of each Local Partnership.  As stipulated by the Local Partnerships’ partnership agreements, the Local Partnerships are required to make annual cash distributions from surplus cash flow, if any.  During 2012 and 2011, the Partnership received cash distributions from rental operations of the Local Partnerships of $27,437 and $51,316, respectively.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, one and two of the Local Partnerships had aggregate surplus cash, as defined by their respective regulatory Agencies, in the amounts of $35,863 and $1,238,617, respectively, which may be available for distribution in accordance with their respective regulatory Agencies' regulations.

The cash distributions to the Partnership from the operations of the Local Partnerships may be limited by the Agencies' regulations.  Such regulations limit annual cash distributions to a percentage of the owner's equity investment in a rental property.  Funds in excess of those which may be distributed to owners are generally required to be placed in a residual receipts account held by the governing state or federal agency for the benefit of the property.  In addition, local general partners have the authority to withhold funds if needed for property repairs, improvements, or other property needs.

Upon sale or refinancing of a property owned by a Local Partnership, or upon the liquidation of a Local Partnership, the proceeds from such sale, refinancing or liquidation shall be distributed in accordance with the respective provisions of each Local Partnership's partnership agreement.  In accordance with such provisions, the Partnership would receive from such proceeds its respective percentage interest of any remaining proceeds, after payment of (i) all debts and liabilities of the Local Partnership and certain other items, (ii) the Partnership's capital contributions plus certain specified amounts as outlined in each partnership agreement, and (iii) certain special distributions to general partners and related entities of the Local Partnership.

b. Pending and Completed Sales

Pending Sales

On June 29, 2012, the Partnership entered into a partnership purchase agreement to sell their partnership interest in New Sharon Woods for $1. The Partnership's investment basis in this Local Partnership at both December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0. The sale is expected to close during the second quarter of 2013.

On August 2, 2012, the Local Partnership entered into a purchase agreement to sell The Chestnut Apartments for $5,440,000. The Partnership's investment basis in this Local Partnership at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,171,612 and $1,024,547, respectively. The Partnership expects to receive approximately $3,500,000 as a result of the sale. The sale is expected to close during the second quarter of 2013.

On August 2, 2012, the Local Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell Westwood Village for $3,085,000. The Partnership's investment basis in this Local Partnership at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $425,415 and $155,120, respectively. The Partnership expects to receive approximately $2,100,000 as a result of the sale. The sale is expected to close during the third quarter of 2013.

Completed Sales

On August 29, 2012, the Partnership sold its limited partner interest in Traverse City Elderly, LP, which owns the Hillview Terrace Apartments, for $299,990. In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, in September 2012, the Managing General Partner paid a disposition fee of $92,000 related to the sale. The net proceeds received as a result of the sale of was $207,990. The Partnership's investment basis at the date of the sale was $0. Net acquisition fees and property purchase costs netted against the gain on sale of interest in Local Partnership were $7,465. The net gain recognized for this sale was $200,525.

On December 17, 2012, the Partnership sold its limited partner interest in Capitol Senior Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership, which owns the Capital Commons Senior Apartments. Total proceeds received as a result of the sale were $6,245,328. In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, in December 2012, the Managing General Partner paid a disposition fee of $475,000 related to the sale. The net proceeds received as a result of the sale was $5,770,328. Net acquisition fees and property purchase costs netted against the gain on sale of interest in Local Partnership were $21,575. The Partnership's investment basis at the date of sale was $5,183,461 and was written off and included in the gain on sale of interest in Local Partnership. The net gain recognized for the sale was $565,292.

c.         Advance to Local Partnership

As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership had advanced funds, including accrued interest, totaling $1,008,738 to ARA Associates-Shangri-La Ltd. (Shallowford Oaks). On April 15, 2010, the Partnership advanced $100,000 to Shallowford Oaks for operating expenses. The Partnership accrued $28,390 to interest receivable on the advances to Shallowford Oaks as of December 31, 2011. For financial reporting purposes, these loans have been reduced to zero by the Partnership as a result of losses at the Local Partnership level during prior years. As a result, the amount advanced and accrued interest has been reflected as a reduction of share of income from the Partnership in 2011.

In January 2011, the Shallowford Oaks property was unable to meet its debt service requirements and was therefore in default with regards to the mortgage encumbering the property. In February 2011, the mortgage lender for the mortgage encumbering the property sent notice accelerating the debt. On November 1, 2011, the mortgage holder for Shallowford Oaks, LSREF2, LLC, foreclosed on the property and became the new owner of the property pursuant to a non-judicial foreclosure sale under the power of sale clause contained in its law documents. As a result of the foreclosure all of the assets and liabilities of the Local Partnership were written off as of December 31, 2011. The resulting loss of the foreclosure was $31,263 and is recorded on the statements of operations as loss from foreclosure on Local Partnership. During 2011, the Local Partnership was wound up, and the Partnershiop no longer holds a limited partner interest in the Local Partnership.

d.           Property matters

Baltic Plaza

On December 19, 2002, the Local Partnership which owned the Baltic Plaza apartments sold the property. Cash proceeds received by the Partnership totaled $2,053,358.  As part of the consideration, the Local Partnership took back a 30-year purchase money note in the principal amount of $2,300,000, collateralized by the partnership interests of the general partner of the maker/purchaser.  The Local Partnership assigned the purchase money note to an escrow for the benefit of its partners (with CRI serving as escrow agent), so that the Local Partnership entity could be dissolved.  The purchase money note bears interest at 4.60% compounded annually, and requires a minimum annual payment equal to 50% of the maker/purchaser’s annual audited cash flow, as defined, with the balance of unpaid principal, if any, plus accrued interest, due and payable on December 31, 2032.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no payments of principal or interest have been received on this purchase money note.  The Partnership’s 98% beneficial interest in this purchase money note is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, at its original principal balance of $2,300,000 plus estimated accrued but unpaid interest, all discounted to $619,000 to provide for an effective interest rate commensurate with the investment risk.  The resulting discounted amount has been fully reserved due to uncertainty of collection of the purchase money note and related interest.

On November 28, 2012, the Partnership entered an agreement to sell the note to an affiliate of the SP Baltic Plaza, LP for a sale price of $2,000,000. The note sold on April 29, 2013. The Partnership received $1,960,000 in proceeds from the sale of the note.

f. Reconciliation of the Local Partnerships' financial statement

net income to taxable income

For federal income tax purposes, the Local Partnerships report on a basis whereby:  (i) certain revenue and the related assets are recorded when received rather than when earned; (ii) certain costs are expensed when paid or incurred rather than capitalized and amortized over the period of benefit; and (iii) a shorter life is used to compute depreciation on the property as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code and the underlying regulations.  These returns are subject to examination and, therefore, possible adjustment by the IRS.

A reconciliation of the Local Partnerships' financial statement net income reflected above to taxable income follows.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Organization

Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. (the Partnership) was formed under the District of Columbia Limited Partnership Act on June 1, 1981, and shall continue until December 31, 2030, unless sooner dissolved in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership was formed to invest in real estate by acquiring and holding limited partner interests in limited partnerships (Local Partnerships) that own and operate federal or state government-assisted properties or properties which provide housing principally to the elderly or to individuals and families of low or moderate income, or conventionally financed apartment properties, located throughout the United States.

The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), which is the Managing General Partner, current and former shareholders of CRI, and Rockville Pike Associates, Ltd., a Maryland limited partnership which includes the shareholders of CRI and certain former officers and employees of CRI.

The Partnership sold 24,837 units at $1,000 per unit of limited partner interest through a public offering.  The offering period was terminated on December 31, 1982.  As of December 31, 2012, 90 units of limited partner interest had been abandoned.

b. Method of accounting

The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

c. Variable interest entities

GAAP provides guidance on when a company should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE.  Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics:  (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the entity that will receive a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE’s expected residual returns, or both.

The Partnership does not consolidate the Partnership's interests in these VIE’s under this guidance, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. Accounting guidance requires continued reconsideration as to the consideration of the primary beneficiary.  The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheet, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements.

The Partnership’s balance in investment in Local Partnerships represents its maximum exposure to loss.  The Partnership’s exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying properties as well as the strength of the local general partners.

d. Investments in and advances to partnerships

The Partnership’s investment in Local Partnerships is considered to be variable interest entities (VIEs) because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Local Partnerships since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities.  Therefore, and because the Partnership is a limited partner in the Local Partnerships, the Partnership accounts for the investment in its Local Partnerships using the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method, the initial investment is recorded at cost, increased or decreased by the Partnership’s share of income or losses, and decreased by distributions received and syndication costs.  The investment balance cannot be reduced below zero.  After the investment account is reduced to zero, receivables due from the Local Partnership are decreased by the Partnership’s share of losses.  Distributions received after the investment account is reduced to zero are recorded as income.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership's share of cumulative losses for three and four of the Local Partnerships exceeded the amount of the Partnership's investments in and advances to those Local Partnerships by $2,898,119 and $3,356,064, respectively.  Since 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.   The Partnership’s carrying value is zero and the equity method has been suspended for the following Local Partnership as of December 31, 2012: New Sharon Woods. The Partnership’s carrying value is zero and the equity method has been suspended for the following three Local Partnerships as of December 31, 2011: Hillview Terrace, New Sharon Woods and Shallowford Oaks. Distributions of $7,219 received from one Local Partnership during 2011, for which the Partnership’s carrying value is zero (equity method suspended) were recorded as increases in the Partnership’s share of income from partnerships in the year received.

Costs incurred in connection with acquiring these investments have been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties owned by the Local Partnerships.

e. Deferred Costs

Acquisition Fees and Property Purchase Costs incurred for services rendered to acquire the Local Partnerships are amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method, beginning upon commencement of operations of the Local Partnerships.  The Partnership regularly assesses deferred costs for the existence of impairment in conjunction with the assessment of its investment in Local Partnerships. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $4,884 and $7,631, respectively.  Estimated amortization expense for each of the ensuing years through December 31, 2017 is $2,139.

The Partnership sold its interest in two Local Partnerships during 2012. Therefore, deferred costs of $117,142 and associated accumulated amortization of $88,102 were written off. During 2012, this amount is included in gain on sale of interest in Local Partnership on the statements of operations.

One Local Partnership was foreclosed on during 2011.  Therefore, deferred costs of $123,079 and associated accumulated amortization of $91,816 were written off.  During 2011, this net amount of $31,263 is included in loss of foreclosure of Local Partnership on the statements of operations.

f. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market funds, time and demand deposits, and repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less.  Interest income is recognized as earned.

g. Income taxes

The Partnership has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Partnership’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Partnership is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Partnership has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

Accounting guidance conveys how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The guidance requires the evaluation of tax positions in the course of preparing the Partnership's tax returns to determine whether tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-than-likely threshold would not be recognized as tax expense in the current year. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership did not recognize any interest or penalties related to the income taxes in the its financial statements. Generally, the tax returns filed with the various taxing authorities remain available for audit subject to statutes of limitation specific to those jurisdictions. Income tax returns filed by the Partnership are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2009 remain open.

h. Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Partnership is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

i. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

1. Level 1 Inputs -- quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

2. Level 2 Inputs -- observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

3. Level 3 Inputs -- unobservable inputs.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The balance sheet carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

j. Impairment analysis

The Partnership reviews property assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  Impairment for investments in partnerships is determined by review of the performance of the underlying asset and expected proceeds from the sale of the investment.  If an asset were determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no impairment loss was recognized.

k. Allocation of net income (loss)

Net income (loss) is allocated based on respective partnership interest or units outstanding.  The Partnership has no dilutive interests.

l. Subsequent events

Events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements were available to be issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the balance sheet date require disclosure in the accompanying notes. Management evaluated the activity of the Partnership and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements. See Note 2.d. and Note 4 for disclosure of subsequent events.

m. Recent accounting pronouncements

In 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement:Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS". This update amends the guidance on fair value measurements to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This ASU does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The Partnership adopted this update as of January 1, 2012 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Partnership's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Reconciliation of the Partnership's Financial Statement Net (Loss) Income to Taxable Income

 RECONCILIATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT NET INCOME TO TAXABLE INCOME

For federal income tax purposes, the Partnership reports on a basis whereby:  (i) certain expenses are amortized rather than expensed when incurred; (ii) certain costs are amortized over a shorter period for tax purposes, as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code and underlying regulations, and (iii) certain costs are amortized over a longer period for tax purposes.  The Partnership records its share of income or losses from its investments in limited partnerships for federal income tax purposes as reported on the Local Partnerships' federal income tax returns (see Note 2.f.), including losses in excess of related investment amounts.  These returns are subject to examination and, therefore, possible adjustment by the IRS.

A reconciliation of the Partnership's financial statement net income to taxable income follows.

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012		2011
Financial statement net income	$	1,767,053	$	852,463

Partners' Capital Notes [Abstract]

Partnership Profits and Losses, and Distributions

PARTNERSHIP PROFITS AND LOSSES, AND DISTRIBUTIONS

All profits and losses are allocated 97% to the limited partners and 3% to the General Partners.  The net proceeds resulting from the liquidation of the Partnership or the Partnership's share of the net proceeds from any sale or refinancing of the Local Partnerships or their rental properties which are not reinvested shall be distributed and applied as follows:

(i) to the payment of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including all expenses of the Partnership incident to the sale or refinancing) other than loans or other debts and liabilities of the Partnership to any partner or any affiliate; such debts and liabilities, in the case of a non-liquidating distribution, to be only those which are then required to be paid or, in the judgment of the Managing General Partner, required to be provided for;

(ii) to the establishment of any reserves which the Managing General Partner deems reasonably necessary for contingent, unmatured or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership;

(iii) to the limited partners in the amount of their capital contributions without deduction for prior cash distributions other than prior distributions of proceeds from any sale or refinancing;

(iv) to the repayment of any unrepaid loans theretofore made by any partner or any affiliate to the Partnership for Partnership obligations and to the payment of any unpaid amounts owing to the General Partners pursuant to the Partnership Agreement;

(v) to the General Partners in the amount of their capital contributions;

(vi) thereafter, for their services to the Partnership, in equal shares to certain general partners (or their designees), whether or not any is then a general partner, an aggregate fee of one percent of the gross proceeds resulting from (A) such sale (if the proceeds are from a sale rather than a refinancing) and (B) any prior sales from which such one percent fee was not paid to the General Partners or their designees; and,

(vii) the remainder, 15% to the General Partner (or their assignees) and 85% to the limited partners (or their assignees). Fees payable to certain general partners (or their designees) under (vi) above, together with all other property disposition fees and any other commissions or fees payable upon the sale of apartment properties, shall not in the aggregate exceed the lesser of the competitive rate or six percent of the sales price of the apartment properties.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, all cash available for distribution, as defined, shall be distributed, not less frequently than annually,97% to the limited partners and 3% to the General Partners, after payment of the Management Fee (see Note 3), as specified in the Partnership Agreement.  On July 26, 2010, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $742,000 ($30 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of July 1, 2010. There was no distributions paid in 2012 or 2011. However, a distribution was recommended and approved in December 2012 of $5,939,280 ($240 per Unit). The distribution was paid subsequent to December 31, 2012.

As defined in the Partnership Agreement, after the payment of the distributions described in the previous paragraph, after the establishment of any reserves deemed necessary by the Managing General Partner and after payment of the Management Fee, the Partnership had no remaining cash available for distribution for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The Managing General Partner currently intends to retain all of the Partnership's remaining undistributed cash for operating cash reserves.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Method of Accounting

Method of accounting

The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Variable interest entities

Variable interest entities

GAAP provides guidance on when a company should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE.  Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics:  (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the entity that will receive a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE’s expected residual returns, or both.

The Partnership does not consolidate the Partnership's interests in these VIE’s under this guidance, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. Accounting guidance requires continued reconsideration as to the consideration of the primary beneficiary.  The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheet, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements.

The Partnership’s balance in investment in Local Partnerships represents its maximum exposure to loss.  The Partnership’s exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying properties as well as the strength of the local general partners.

Investments in and advances to partnerships

Investments in and advances to partnerships

The Partnership’s investment in Local Partnerships is considered to be variable interest entities (VIEs) because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Local Partnerships since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities.  Therefore, and because the Partnership is a limited partner in the Local Partnerships, the Partnership accounts for the investment in its Local Partnerships using the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method, the initial investment is recorded at cost, increased or decreased by the Partnership’s share of income or losses, and decreased by distributions received and syndication costs.  The investment balance cannot be reduced below zero.  After the investment account is reduced to zero, receivables due from the Local Partnership are decreased by the Partnership’s share of losses.  Distributions received after the investment account is reduced to zero are recorded as income.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership's share of cumulative losses for three and four of the Local Partnerships exceeded the amount of the Partnership's investments in and advances to those Local Partnerships by $2,898,119 and $3,356,064, respectively.  Since 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.   The Partnership’s carrying value is zero and the equity method has been suspended for the following Local Partnership as of December 31, 2012: New Sharon Woods. The Partnership’s carrying value is zero and the equity method has been suspended for the following three Local Partnerships as of December 31, 2011: Hillview Terrace, New Sharon Woods and Shallowford Oaks. Distributions of $7,219 received from one Local Partnership during 2011, for which the Partnership’s carrying value is zero (equity method suspended) were recorded as increases in the Partnership’s share of income from partnerships in the year received.

Costs incurred in connection with acquiring these investments have been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties owned by the Local Partnerships.

Deferred Costs

Deferred Costs

Acquisition Fees and Property Purchase Costs incurred for services rendered to acquire the Local Partnerships are amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method, beginning upon commencement of operations of the Local Partnerships.  The Partnership regularly assesses deferred costs for the existence of impairment in conjunction with the assessment of its investment in Local Partnerships. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $4,884 and $7,631, respectively.  Estimated amortization expense for each of the ensuing years through December 31, 2017 is $2,139.

The Partnership sold its interest in two Local Partnerships during 2012. Therefore, deferred costs of $117,142 and associated accumulated amortization of $88,102 were written off. During 2012, this amount is included in gain on sale of interest in Local Partnership on the statements of operations.

One Local Partnership was foreclosed on during 2011.  Therefore, deferred costs of $123,079 and associated accumulated amortization of $91,816 were written off.  During 2011, this net amount of $31,263 is included in loss of foreclosure of Local Partnership on the statements of operations.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market funds, time and demand deposits, and repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less.  Interest income is recognized as earned.

Income taxes

Income taxes

The Partnership has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Partnership’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Partnership is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Partnership has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Partnership is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

1. Level 1 Inputs -- quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

2. Level 2 Inputs -- observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

3. Level 3 Inputs -- unobservable inputs.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The balance sheet carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

Impairment analysis

Impairment analysis

The Partnership reviews property assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  Impairment for investments in partnerships is determined by review of the performance of the underlying asset and expected proceeds from the sale of the investment.  If an asset were determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss.

Allocation of net income (loss)

Allocation of net income (loss)

Net income (loss) is allocated based on respective partnership interest or units outstanding.  The Partnership has no dilutive interests.

Subsequent events

Subsequent events

Events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements were available to be issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the balance sheet date require disclosure in the accompanying notes. Management evaluated the activity of the Partnership and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

In 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement:Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS". This update amends the guidance on fair value measurements to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This ASU does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The Partnership adopted this update as of January 1, 2012 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Partnership's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2012.

In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership paid the Managing General Partner a fee for services in connection with the review, selection, evaluation, negotiation and initial acquisition of the original interests in the Local Partnerships.  The fee amounted to $993,480, which is equal to four percent of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the Partnership.  The acquisition fee was capitalized and is being amortized over a 40-year period using the straight-line method.

In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to reimburse the Managing General Partner or its affiliates for certain direct expenses and payroll expenses in connection with managing the Partnership.  Payroll expenses are reimbursed at a factor of 1.75 times base salary.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership paid $119,820 and $166,466 respectively, to the Managing General Partner or its affiliates as direct reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership.  In addition, certain employees of the Managing General Partner provided legal and tax accounting services to the Partnership.  These are reimbursed comparable to third party service charges.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership paid $138,538 and $69,420, respectively, to the Managing General Partner or its affiliates for these services.  Such reimbursed 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 amount of the Management Fee shall be equal to 0.25% of original invested assets, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and shall be payable from the Partnership's cash available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, as of the end of each calendar year, as follows:

(i) First, on a monthly basis as an operating expense before any distributions to limited partners in an annual amount equal to $95,208; and

(ii) Second, after distributions to the limited partners in the amount of one percent of the gross proceeds of the offering, the balance of such 0.25% of invested assets.

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. During 2012, the fee was calculated based on the hypothetical sale of the properties. During the year ended December 31, 2012 fees of $567,000 were incurred and paid.
