1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), the Managing General Partner, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. (the Partnership) as of March 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.  The results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such instructions.  These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2009.

On August 18, 2006, the Partnership filed a Definitive Proxy Statement pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and mailed it to Limited Partners to solicit consents for approval of an amendment of the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement to permit the Managing General Partner, CRI, to be eligible to receive an increased property disposition fee from the Partnership on the same basis as such fees could be paid to Local General Partners, real estate brokers or other third party intermediaries employed to sell properties in which the Partnership holds interests, to the extent that CRI markets and sells the Partnership’s assets instead of such persons (a “Disposition Fee”).

The record date for voting was August 1, 2006, and the final voting deadline was October 17, 2006.  The Managing General Partner received consent from a majority of Limited Partners for the increased Disposition Fee.  A tabulation of votes received by the voting deadline follows.

2.           INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS

a.           Advance to Local Partnership

As of both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership had advanced funds, including accrued interest, totaling $872,636, to ARA Associates -- Shangri-La Ltd. (Shallowford Oaks).  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.

b.           Property matters

Baltic Plaza

On June 24, 2001, the Local Managing General Partner entered into a contract to sell the property owned by Sencit Baltic Associates (Baltic Plaza).  On December 19, 2002, Baltic Plaza was sold.  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 4.6% 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 June 9, 2010, 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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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.

2.           INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS - Continued

Cash distributions received from Local Partnerships which have investment basis (equity method) are recorded as a reduction of investments in partnerships and as cash receipts on the respective balance sheets.  Cash distributions received from Local Partnerships which have cumulative losses in excess of the amount of the Partnership’s investments in those Local Partnerships (equity method suspended) are recorded as share of income from partnerships on the respective statements of operations and as cash receipts on the respective balance sheets.  As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership's share of cumulative losses to date for four of six Local Partnerships exceeded the amount of the Partnership's investments in those Local Partnerships by $4,980,039 and $4,897,909, respectively.  As the Partnership has no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to these Local Partnerships, the excess losses have not been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

The Partnership has disclosed its selection and application of significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the notes to financial statements included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2009.  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 four Local Partnerships which have cumulative losses in excess of the amount of the Partnership’s investments in those Local Partnerships.  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 were determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss.

On August 18, 2006, the Partnership filed a Definitive Proxy Statement pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and mailed it to Limited Partners to solicit consents for approval of an amendment of the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement to permit the Managing General Partner, C.R.I., Inc., to be eligible to receive an increased property disposition fee from the Partnership on the same basis as such fees could be paid to Local General Partners, real estate brokers or other third party intermediaries employed to sell properties in which the Partnership holds interests, to the extent that CRI markets and sells the Partnership’s assets instead of such persons (a “Disposition Fee”).

General

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.  Issues that are at the forefront of the Managing General Partner's strategic planning include: the expiration of Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts, the restrictions on properties with state housing agency financing or the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development agency (RD) financing, the cessation of losses to the Partnership due to the complete depletion of low-income housing accelerated depreciation deductions on the Local Partnerships' properties, and the reduction of mortgage interest deductions as the mortgage loans move closer to maturity.

Most of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership is invested have mortgage loans financed by various state housing agencies, and one Local Partnership has a mortgage loan financed by the RD agency.  Four of the Local Partnerships have Section 8 HAP Contracts in place for all or substantially all of their apartment units, which Section 8 HAP Contracts are generally regulated by HUD (the state housing agencies, RD and HUD, collectively, the “Agencies”).  Currently, these Section 8 HAP Contracts expire through 2026, and the Managing General Partner believes that, at expiration,  the Agencies will strive to preserve the units as low income, or affordable, housing by exercising their rights under the mortgages and/or regulatory agreements to disallow prepayment of the mortgages or conversion of the units to market rate housing.  The Managing General Partner continues to monitor the actions of the Agencies to assess how the Agencies will deal with expiring Section 8 HAP Contracts and what impact the Agencies' strategies will have on the operations of the Local Partnerships and, consequently, the impact on the Partnership's investments in the Local Partnerships.

Item 2.                 Management's Discussion and Analysis
         of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued


In connection with renewals of the Section 8 HAP Contracts under current law and policy, HUD has determined that the amount of rental assistance payments will be based on market rental instead of above market rentals (as may be the case under existing Section 8 HAP Contracts). The payments under the renewed Section 8 HAP Contracts may provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of these properties to meet the debt service requirements of existing loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD ("FHA"). To address the reduction in payments under Section 8 HAP Contracts as a result of this  policy, HUD provides for the restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA. An FHA-insured mortgage loan can be restructured into a first mortgage loan which will be amortized on a current basis and a low interest second mortgage loan payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of the first mortgage loan. This restructuring results in a reduction in annual debt service payable by the borrower of the FHA-insured mortgage loan and is expected to result in an insurance payment from FHA to the holder of the FHA-insured loan due to the reduction in the principal amount.

Sales of properties with state agency or RD financing will be extremely difficult.  Since the Agencies are unlikely to allow mortgage prepayment and/or sale for a conversion to market rate housing, prospective buyers are generally limited to tax credit buyers or not-for-profit organizations.

As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership has no investment in Local Partnerships with Section 8 HAP Contracts expiring in 2010.

The Managing General Partner is working diligently on behalf of the Partnership to produce the best results possible under these difficult circumstances.  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

The Partnership's liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $3,690,054 as of March 31, 2010, 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 June 9, 2010, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures.

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 three month period ended March 31, 2010, existing cash resources was adequate to support net cash used in operating activities.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $159,979 during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to operating expenses.

On April 5, 2007, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $7,374,606 ($298 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of May 1, 2007 of which, on August 7, 2007, $6,818,248 was paid to the Limited Partners.  From the distribution amount, in April 2008, $155,574 was paid to the state of Maryland for non-resident withholding, and the excess amount of taxes withheld of $403,464 was paid to Limited Partners in July 2008.  This distribution consisted of proceeds received from the sales of Sundance Apartments and Frederick Heights.

On March 27, 2009, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $2,524,194 ($102 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of March 27, 2009.  The distribution consisted of a portion of the proceeds received from the sales of Linden Place, Court Place, Park Glen and Warner House.

Results of Operations

The Partnership recognized a smaller net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the first three months of 2009, primarily due to an increase in the share of income from partnerships.  Interest revenue decreased due to lower rates earned in 2010. General and administrative expenses were consistent with the prior year, however, professional fees increased primarily due to higher audit costs.

For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership, as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships, does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in excess of its investment to the extent that the Partnership has no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to the Local Partnerships.  As a result, the Partnership's share of income from partnerships for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, did not include losses of $68,813 and $27,579, respectively.

No other significant changes in the Partnership's operations have taken place during the three month period ended March 31, 2010.

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 4.
Controls and Procedures


In February 2010, representatives of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15.  The Managing General Partner does not expect that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, was recorded, processed, summarized or reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In addition, there have been no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Partnership’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
