General

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

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

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


•	ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to facilitate the Tax Exempt Bond Securitization (“TEBS”) Financing with Freddie Mac and


•	Nine multifamily apartments ("MF Properties") owned by various Partnership subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries hold a 99% limited partner interest in five limited partnerships and 100% member positions in four limited liability companies. Three apartment properties which are subject to a sales agreement and are also reported as MF Properties – Note 2.

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

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared consistently with the 2010 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2011, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions [Abstract]
Partnership Income Expenses and Cash Distributions [Text Block]	Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions The Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership contains provisions for the distribution of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, for the allocation of income or loss from operations and for the allocation of income and loss arising from a repayment, sale or liquidation of investments. Income and losses will be allocated to each unitholder on a periodic basis, as determined by the General Partner, based on the number of BUCs held by each unitholder as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is to be made. Distributions of Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds will be made to each unitholder of record on the last day of each distribution period based on the number of BUCs held by each unitholder as of such date. For purposes of the Agreement of Limited Partnership, cash distributions, if any, received by the Partnership from its indirect interest in MF Properties (Note 5) will be included in the Partnership’s Interest Income and cash distributions received by the Partnership from the sale of such properties will be included in the Partnership Residual Proceeds. Cash distributions are currently made on a quarterly basis but may be made on a monthly or semiannual basis at the election of AFCA 2. On each distribution date, Net Interest Income is distributed 99% to the unitholders and 1% to AFCA 2 and Net Residual Proceeds are distributed 100% to unitholders except that Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest in an amount equal to 0.9% per annum of the principal amount of the mortgage bonds on a cumulative basis (defined as Net Interest Income (Tier 2) and Net Residual Proceeds (Tier 2), respectively) are distributed 75% to the unitholders and 25% to AFCA 2. In June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby four of the MF Properties, Crescent Village, Post Woods (I and II) and Willow Bend apartments in Ohio (the “Ohio Properties”), were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity. The Company acquired 100% of the $18.3 million tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency as part of a plan of financing for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Ohio Properties. The tax-exempt mortgage bonds secured by the Ohio Properties were acquired by the Company at par and consisted of two series. The Series A bond has a par value of $14.7 million and bears interest at an annual rate of 7.0%. The Series B bond has a par value of $3.6 million and bears interest at an annual interest rate of 10.0%. Both series of bonds mature in June 2050. The Company had previously acquired a 99% interest in the Ohio Properties as part of its strategy of acquiring existing multifamily apartment properties that it expects will be partially financed with new tax-exempt mortgage bonds at the time the properties become eligible for the issuance of additional low-income housing tax credits. In addition to the new tax-exempt bonds acquired by the Company, the plan of financing for the acquisition included other subordinated debt issued by the Company. The new owners ultimately plan to sell limited partnership interests in the properties and syndicate LIHTCs as part of the overall plan of finance. The new owners have not contributed any capital to the transaction and the Company has effectively provided 100% of the capital structure to the new owners as part of the sale transaction. Pursuant to the guidance on property, plant, and equipment for real estate sales, the sale and restructure does not meet the criteria for derecognition of the properties or full accrual accounting for the gain. The guidance requires sufficient equity capital as part of a sales transaction to indicate a commitment from the buyer (typically a minimum of 3 to 5% investment by the new owners). As the buyer has no equity capital in this transaction and the property operations are the current support for the debt service, the Company, in substance, remains the owner for accounting purposes. As such, the Company will continue to consolidate the Ohio Properties. Under the sales agreement, the Ohio properties were sold for a total purchase price of $16.2 million. Cash received by the selling limited partnerships as part of the sale transaction represents a gain on the sale transaction of approximately $1.8 million. The properties will continue to be presented as MF Properties and no gain will be recognized until such time as the transaction meets the criteria for derecognition of the properties and gain recognition can be accounted for as a sale. The unallocated deficit of the Consolidated VIEs is primarily comprised of the accumulated historical net losses of the Consolidated VIEs since the applicable consolidation date. The unallocated deficit of the VIEs and the VIEs' net losses subsequent to that date are not allocated to the General Partner and unitholders as such activity is not contemplated by, or addressed in, the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]

Variable interest entities [Text Block]

Variable Interest Entities

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

On January 1, 2010, the Partnership determined that eight of the entities financed by tax-exempt bonds owned by the Partnership were held by VIEs. These VIEs are Ashley Square, Bent Tree, Cross Creek, Fairmont Oaks, Iona Lakes, Lake Forest, Residences at DeCordova ("DeCordova") and Residences at Weatherford ("Weatherford").

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Partnership began foreclosure proceedings related to the DeCordova and Weatherford properties. The foreclosure on these entities, replacing the ownership with a Partnership subsidiary, was completed in February 2011. The bonds are no longer in existence and the properties are reported as part of the MF Property portfolio (Note 5.) These two properties no longer meet the criteria of a variable interest entity.

The Iona Lakes Consolidated VIE entered into a merger agreement with Agape Iona Lakes Inc ("AIL"), an unaffiliated Florida not-for-profit affiliated with American Agape Foundation ("AAF"), whereby Iona Lakes was merged into AIL and AIL is the surviving entity. The merger was contingent upon AIL and AAF obtaining a tax abatement. The tax abatement was granted on June 17, 2011 and the merger was completed. The Partnership determined the merger was a reconsideration event and; therefore, re-evaluated this entity pursuant to the applicable consolidation guidance. The partnership determined the entity ceased to meet the criteria to be reported as a Consolidated VIE. The accounting guidance provides that a not-for-profit organization that is not a related party is not subject to the consolidation guidance. AIL, the surviving entity after the Iona Lakes merger, is a not-for-profit organization that meets the guidance requirements and therefore Iona Lakes no longer meets the criteria of a variable interest entity . For accounting purposes, the Partnership deconsolidated Iona Lakes as of May 31, 2011.

At June 30, 2011 the Partnership determined it is the primary beneficiary of three of the remaining VIEs; Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, and Lake Forest and has continued to consolidate these entities. During 2010, the Partnership reported six properties as Consolidated VIEs: Bent Tree, DeCordova, Fairmont Oaks, Iona Lakes, Lake Forest, and Weatherford.

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

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

Consolidated VIEs

In January 2011, the Partnership determined it was the primary beneficiary of the the following properties: Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, Iona Lakes, Lake Forest, DeCordova and Weatherford and reported these as Consolidated VIEs. Once the foreclosure and merger noted above were completed, only three properties met the primary beneficiary criteria, Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, and Lake Forest. The capital structure of each of these VIEs consists of senior debt, subordinated debt and equity capital. The senior debt is in the form of a tax-exempt multifamily housing mortgage revenue bond and accounts for the majority of the VIEs' total capital. As the bondholder, the Partnership is entitled to principal and interest payments and has certain protective rights as established by the bond documents. The equity ownership of the consolidated VIEs, Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, and Lake Forest, is ultimately held by corporations which are owned by four individuals, three of which are related parties. Additionally, each of these properties is managed by an affiliate of the Partnership, America First Properties Management Company, LLC (“Properties Management”) which is an affiliate of Burlington.

In determining the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, the Partnership considered the activities of the VIE which most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance, who has the power to control such activities, the risks which the entities were designed to create, the variability associated with those risks and the interests which absorb such variability. The Partnership also considered the related party relationship of the entities involved in the VIEs. It was determined that the Partnership, as part of the related party group, met both of the primary beneficiary criteria and was the most closely associated with the VIEs and, therefore, was determined to be the primary beneficiary.

Non-Consolidated VIEs

As a result of adopting the new accounting guidance in 2010, the Company deconsolidated two entities, the Ashley Square and Cross Creek VIEs. In determining the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, the Partnership considered the activities of each VIE which most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance, who has the power to control such activities, the risks which the entities were designed to create, the variability associated with those risks and the interests which absorb such variability. The significant activities of the VIE that impact the economic performance of the entity include leasing and maintaining apartments, determining if the property is to be sold, decisions relating to debt refinancing, the selection of or replacement of the property manager and the approval of the operating and capital budgets. As discussed below, while the capital structures of these VIEs resulted in the Partnership holding a majority of the variable interests in these VIEs, the Partnership determined it does not have the power to direct the activities of these VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and, as a result, is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.

Ashley Square – Ashley Square Housing Cooperative acquired the ownership of the Ashley Square apartments in December 2008 from Ashley Square LLC through a warranty deed of transfer and an assumption of debt. This transfer of ownership constitutes a reconsideration event as outlined in the consolidation guidance which triggers a re-evaluation of the holders of variable interests to determine the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The capital structure of the VIE consists of senior debt, subordinated loans and equity capital. The senior debt is in the form of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds that are 100% owned by the Partnership and account for the majority of the VIE’s total capital. As the bondholder, the Partnership is entitled to principal and interest payments and has certain protective rights as established by the bond documents. The VIE is organized as a housing cooperative and the 99% equity owner of this VIE is The Foundation for Affordable Housing (“FAH”), an unaffiliated Nebraska non-profit organization. Additionally, this property is managed by Properties Management.

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

The following tables presents information regarding the carrying value and classification of the assets held by the Partnership as of June 30, 2011, which constitute a variable interest in Ashley Square and Cross Creek.



	Balance Sheet Classification	Carrying Value		Maximum Exposure to Loss
Ashley Square Apartments
Tax Exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond	Bond Investment	$	5,192,745	$	5,332,000
Property Loan	Other Asset	1,190,000		5,995,170
		$	6,382,745	$	11,327,170
Cross Creek Apartments
Tax Exempt Mortgage Revenue Bond	Bond Investment	$	7,553,265	$	5,938,204
Property Loans	Other Asset	3,353,755		3,353,755
		$	10,907,020	$	9,291,959

The tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds are classified on the balance sheet as available for sale investments and are carried at fair value while property loans are presented on the balance sheet as other assets and are carried at the unpaid principal and interest less any loan loss reserves. See Footnote 4 for additional information regarding the bonds and Footnote 6 for additional information regarding the property loans. The maximum exposure to loss for the bonds is equal to the unpaid principal balance as of June 30, 2011. The difference between the carrying value and the maximum exposure to loss is a function of the fair value of the bond. The maximum exposure to loss for the property loans is equal to the unpaid principal and interest. The difference between the carrying value and the maximum exposure is the value of loan loss reserves that have been previously recorded against the outstanding loan balances.

Valuation - As all of the Company’s investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are classified as available-for-sale securities, they are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values. Due to the limited market for the tax-exempt bonds, these estimates of fair value do not necessarily represent what the Company would actually receive in a sale of the bonds. There is no active trading market for the bonds and price quotes for the bonds are not generally available. As of June 30, 2011, all of the Company’s tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds were valued using discounted cash flow and yield to maturity analyses performed by management. Management’s valuation encompasses judgment in its application. The key assumption in management’s yield to maturity analysis is the range of effective yields on the individual bonds. At June 30, 2011, the range of effective yields on the individual bonds was 6.6% to 8.3%. At December 31, 2010, the range of effective yields on the individual bonds was 7.2% to 8.7%. Additionally, the Company calculated the sensitivity of the key assumption used in calculating the fair values of these bonds. Assuming an immediate 10 percent adverse change in the key assumption, the effective yields on the individual bonds would increase to a range of 7.2% to 9.1% and would result in additional unrealized losses on the bond portfolio of approximately $11.0 million. This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and is as of a specific point in time. The results of the sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of actual changes in fair value and should be used with caution. If available, the general partner may also consider price quotes on similar bonds or other information from external sources, such as pricing services. Pricing services, broker quotes and management’s analyses provide indicative pricing only.

Unrealized gains or losses on these tax-exempt bonds are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to reflect changes in their estimated fair values resulting from market conditions and fluctuations in the present value of the expected cash flows from the underlying properties. As of June 30, 2011, the following bond investments have been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months; Ashley Square, Bella Vista, Bridle Ridge, Runnymede, Woodlynn Village and Woodland Park. The Company has reviewed each of its mortgage revenue bonds for impairment. Based upon this evaluation, the current unrealized losses on the bonds are considered to be temporary. Valuations have improved during the first half of 2011. If the credit and capital markets would deteriorate, the Company experiences deterioration in the values of its investment portfolio or if the Company’s intent and ability to hold certain bonds changes, the Company may incur impairments to its investment portfolio which could negatively impact the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, and reported earnings.

In June 2011, the Partnership acquired at par a $3.8 million tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and a $315,000 taxable revenue bond secured by the GMF-Madison Tower Apartments, a 147 unit multifamily apartment complex located in Memphis, Tennessee, which represented 100% of the bond issuance. These bonds were issued for the acquisition of the GMF-Madison Tower Apartments by an affiliate of the Global Ministries Foundation, an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity. The tax-exempt bond carries an annual interest rate of 6.75% and matures on December 1, 2046. The taxable bond carries an annual interest rate of 7.75% and matures on December 1, 2019. The bonds do not provide for contingent interest. The Company has determined that the entity which owns GMF-Madison Tower Apartments is an unrelated not -for-profit which under the accounting guidance is not subject to applying the VIE consolidation guidance. As a result, its financial statements are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In June 2011, the Partnership acquired at par a $11.8 million tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and a $485,000 taxable revenue bond secured by the GMF-Warren/Tulane Apartments, a 448 unit multifamily apartment complex located in Memphis, Tennessee, which represented 100% of the bond issuance. These bonds were issued for the acquisition of the GMF-Warren/Tulane Apartments by an affiliate of the Global Ministries Foundation, an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity. The tax-exempt bond carries an annual interest rate of 6.75% and matures on December 1, 2046. The taxable bond carries an annual interest rate of 6.5% and matures on December 1, 2015. The bonds do not provide for contingent interest. The Company has determined that the entity which owns GMF-Warren/Tulane Apartments is an unrelated not-for-profit which under the accounting guidance is not subject to applying the VIE consolidation guidance. As a result, its financial statements are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In May 2011, the outstanding Clarkson College tax-exempt revenue bond held by the Company was retired early for an amount equal to the outstanding principal and base interest plus accrued but unpaid contingent interest. As of March 31, 2011, the Company carried the investment in the Clarkson College bond at an estimated fair market value of approximately $5.1 million. The retirement of the bond resulted in a payment to the Partnership of approximately $6.1 million consisting of approximately $5.8 million in principal, approximately $16,000 of base interest and approximately $308,000 of accrued contingent interest.

In February 2011, the Partnership acquired the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond for a 100 unit multifamily apartment complex located in Montclair, California known as Briarwood Manor Apartments for approximately $4.5 million which represented 100% of the bond issuance. The bond's approximate outstanding par value is $5.5 million and earns interest at an annual rate of 5.3% with a monthly interest and principal payment and stated maturity date of June 1, 2038. Based on the purchase price discount, the bond will yield approximately 7.0% to the Partnership. The bond does not provide for contingent interest. The Company has determined that the entity which owns Briarwood Manor does not meet the definition of a VIE and, accordingly, its financial statements are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Partnership previously identified three tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds for which certain actions may be necessary to protect the Partnership’s position as a secured bondholder and lender. These bonds are Woodland Park, DeCordova and Weatherford. The Partnership foreclosed on the bonds secured by DeCordova and Weatherford in February 2011 and one of the Partnership's subsidiaries took full ownership of these two properties. These properties are now classified and presented as MF Properties of the Company as discussed in Note 5. The following is a discussion of the circumstances related to the Woodland Park property.

Woodland Park. Woodland Park was completed in November 2008, but has not yet reached stabilization which is defined in the bond documents as the generation of a 1.15:1 debt service coverage ratio for six straight months. Additionally, there were insufficient funds on deposit with the bond trustee to make the debt service payment of approximately $452,000 on the bonds which was due on May 3, 2010 and the property owner did not provide additional capital to fund the shortfall. As a result, a payment default on the bonds has occurred. In order to protect its investment, the Partnership has issued a formal notice of default through the bond trustee and has started the foreclosure process. The foreclosure process is expected to take months to complete. The Partnership would expect to remove and replace the general and limited partners of the property owner through foreclosure. This action would allow a new property owner to re-syndicate the LIHTCs associated with this property. If these LIHTCs can be successfully re-syndicated, it will provide additional capital to the project which can be used to support debt service payments on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds until property operations improve to the point that sufficient cash is generated to pay any past due amounts on the bonds as well as ongoing debt service. If the re-syndication of LIHTCs is not successful, the Partnership may pursue other options including making additional taxable loans to the property or completing the foreclosure process and taking direct ownership of the property. The Partnership believes that the most significant issue in the slow lease-up of the property and its failure to achieve stabilization has been the 100% set aside of the rental units for tenants that make less than 60% of the area median income. At the request of the Partnership, in April 2010, the property owner reduced the number of units set aside for affordable tenants to 75% and began leasing 59 units to market rate tenants. Additionally, the property owner has agreed that, if needed to stabilize the property, it would further reduce the units set aside for affordable tenants to 60% thereby making an additional 35 units available to market rate tenants. As of December 31, 2010, the property had 190 units leased out of total available units of 236, or 81% physical occupancy. As of June 30, 2011, occupancy has increased to 208 units, or 88% physical occupancy, and an additional five leases are pending. Based on the level of leasing activity resulting from the change in the mix of affordable and market rate tenants, the Partnership continues to believe that Woodland is capable of reaching stabilization.

The Company periodically, or as changes in circumstances or operations dictate, evaluates its investments for impairment. The value of the underlying property assets is ultimately the most relevant measure of value to support the investment carrying values. Investments tested for impairment include all fixed assets, bond investments and taxable loans made to various properties and other amounts due to the Company. Such evaluation is based on cash flow and discounted cash flow models. The Company concluded that there was no impairment of fixed assets or bond investments as of June 30, 2011 for any of the Company's investments. However, this evaluation did determine that a portion of the interest receivable on the Woodland Park bond was impaired and that an allowance for loss should be recorded. An allowance for loss and associated provision for loss of approximately $700,000 was recorded against the the accrued bond interest in the first half of 2011. In addition the Company plans to record a reserve against the interest income on the Woodland Park bonds beginning on July 1, 2011.

In June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby four of the MF Properties, Ohio Properties, were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity. The Company acquired 100% of the $18.3 million tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency as part of a plan of financing for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Ohio Properties. The tax-exempt mortgage bonds secured by the Ohio Properties were acquired by the Company at par and consisted of two series. The Series A bond has a par value of $14.7 million and bears interest at an annual rate of 7.0%. The Series B bond has a par value of $3.6 million and bears interest at an annual interest rate of 10.0%. Both series of bonds mature in June 2050. The guidance requires sufficient equity capital as part of a sales transaction to indicate a commitment from the buyer (typically a minimum of 3 to 5% investment by the new owners). As the buyer has no equity capital in this transaction and the property operations are the current support for the debt service, the Company, in substance, remains the owner for accounting purposes. As such, the Company will continue to consolidate the Ohio Properties as if the sale was not completed and the bonds are eliminated upon consolidation. (Note 2).

MF Properties

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

Recent Transactions

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company purchased a minority interest equal to 8.7% ownership in 810 Schutte Road LLC ("Eagle Village"), a 511 bed student housing facility located in Evansville, Indiana. The minority interest investment totaled approximately $1.1 million and was presented in other assets. On June 29, 2011, the Partnership acquired the remaining ownership interest in Eagle Village. Approximately $3.1 million of cash on hand plus a conventional mortgage of approximately $8.9 million was used to purchase the remaining ownership. The mortgage loan carries a variable interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.75% but will not be less than 3.5%. On June 30, 2011 this rate was 3.5%. This mortgage matures on June 1, 2013. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, Eagle Village returned $125,000 to the Company as a preferred return on their investment. Eagle Village is wholly owned by a subsidiary of the Partnership and was reported as an MF Property. The Partnership plans to operate the property as a student housing facility. Once stabilized as a student housing property, the Company will seek to restructure the ownership and capital structure through the sale of the property to a student housing not-for-profit entity. The Company anticipates it will purchase tax-exempt bonds issued as part of such a restructuring.

On March 31, 2011, the Partnership purchased The Arboretum on Farnam Drive ("Arboretum"), a 145 unit independent senior living facility located in Omaha, Nebraska, for approximately $20.0 million plus transaction expenses of approximately $449,000. The purchase price was funded through a conventional mortgage of $17.5 million and cash on hand. The mortgage payable is with Omaha State Bank, carries a 5.25% fixed rate and matures on March 31, 2014. The Partnership intends to restructure the property operations by shifting from an entrance fee rental income model utilized by the prior ownership to a current market rent model. Upon lease-up and stabilization of the property, projected to occur within the next 12 months, the Partnership expects to sell the property to a 501(c)3 not-for-profit entity and acquire tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds collateralized by the property.

Individually these acquisitions are not material but in the aggregate they must be disclosed pursuant to the business combinations guidance. A condensed balance sheet at the date of acquisition for each of the 2011 acquisitions is included below.

In February 2011, the Partnership foreclosed on the bonds secured by DeCordova and Weatherford and one of the Partnership's subsidiaries took 100% ownership interest in these limited liability companies. Both properties are reported as MF Properties. The following is a discussion of the circumstances related to the DeCordova and Weatherford properties.

Residences at DeCordova. This property is a senior (55+) affordable housing project located in Granbury, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As of June 30, 2011, the property had 76 units leased out of total available units of 76, or 100% physical occupancy. As of December 31, 2010, the property had 65 units leased out of total available units of 76, or 86% physical occupancy. At this time the Partnership expects to operate the property as a market rate rental property for the next 9 months when it will evaluate its options in order to recoup its investment.

Residences at Weatherford. Residences at Weatherford are currently under construction and will contain 76 units upon completion. This property is a senior (55+) affordable housing project located in Weatherford, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The construction of this property has begun and the expected completion date is February 2012. The Partnership intends to fund the construction and stabilization of the property. Further, the Partnership expects to operate the property as a market rate property and will evaluate its options in order to recoup its investment.

In July 2011, the Company obtained a $6.5 million construction loan secured by the DeCordova and Weatherford properties. This construction loan will be used to fund the completion of Weatherford and the planned future expansion of DeCordova. The construction loan is with Pinnacle Bank and carries a fixed annual interest rate of 5.9%, maturing on July 28, 2015.

In June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby four of the MF Properties were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity. As the buyer has no equity capital in this transaction and the property operations are the current support for the debt service, the Company, in substance, remains the owner for accounting purposes. As such, the Company will continue to consolidate the Ohio Properties as if the sale was not completed. The properties will continue to be presented as MF Properties and no gain will be recognized until such time as the transaction meets the criteria for derecognition of the properties and gain recognition can be accounted for as a sale.

Consoldidated VIE Properties

In addition to the MF Properties, the Company consolidates the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Consolidated VIEs in accordance with the accounting guidance on consolidations. Although the assets of these VIEs are consolidated, the Company has no ownership interest in the VIEs other than to the extent they serve as collateral for the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership. The results of operations of those properties are recorded by the Company in consolidation but any net income or loss from these properties does not accrue to the unitholders or the general partner, but is instead included in "Unallocated deficit of Consolidated VIEs.”

As discussed in Note 3, as of May 31, 2011 Iona Lakes is no longer consolidated as a Consolidated VIE but is now reflected as an investment in tax-exempt bonds and other assets.

The Company consolidated the following properties owned by Consolidated VIEs in continuing operations as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

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

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

As discussed in Note 3, the Company deconsolidated Iona Lakes on May 31, 2011. The deconsolidation resulted in the Company including Iona Lakes' $7.3 million taxable loan and accrued interest which is net of $1.7 million in allowance at June 30, 2011.

During the first half of 2011, the Partnership advanced additional funds to the Foundation for Affordable Housing, Cross Creek and Iona Lakes of approximately $144,000, $170,000 and $313,000, respectively. During the first six months of 2011, the Partnership recorded an loan loss reserves equal to the accrued interest on the Ashley Square, Cross Creek, Iona Lakes and Woodland Park property loans.

The TOB was structured as a securitization of the Company's $13.4 million Autumn Pines Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The Company transferred this bond to a custodian and trustee that are affiliates of DB. The TOB trustee then issued senior floating-rate participation interests ("SPEARS"), and residual participation interests, ("LIFERS"). The SPEARS and LIFERS represent beneficial interests in the securitized asset held by the TOB trustee. The SPEARS were credit-enhanced by DB and sold through a placement agent to unaffiliated investors. The gross proceeds from the sale of the SPEARS were remitted to the Company. The LIFERS were retained by the Company and are pledged to DB to secure certain reimbursement obligations.

The TOB trust receives all principal and interest payments on the bond. The holders of the SPEARS are entitled to receive regular payments from the TOB trust at a variable rate established by a third party remarketing firm that is expected to be similar to the weekly Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) floating index rate. Payments on the SPEARS will be made prior to any payments on the LIFERS held by the Company. As the holder of the LIFERS, the Company is not entitled to receive payments from the TOB trust at any particular rate, but will be entitled to all remaining principal and interest paid on the bond after payment due on the SPEARS and payment of trust expenses including trustee, remarketing and liquidity fees. Accordingly, payments to the Company on the LIFERS are expected to vary over time.

As a result, the TOB essentially provides the Company with a secured variable rate debt facility at interest rates that reflect the prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates paid by the TOB trust on the SPEARS. Payments made to the holders of the SPEARS and the amount of trust fees essentially represent the Company's effective cost of borrowing on the net proceeds it received from the sale of the SPEARS. At closing of the TOB, the rate paid on the SPEARS was 0.09% per annum and the total trust fees were 1.75% per annum, resulting in a total initial cost of borrowing of 1.84% per annum. The Company is evaluating the accounting treatment for this financing arrangement.

In June 2011, the Partnership entered into a general credit facility with Omaha State Bank ("OSB Facility") that allows the Company to borrow $4.0 million. This facility had an outstanding balance of $1.0 million at June 30, 2011. The OSB Facility is a term loan that matures on June 30, 2012, is collateralized by the Briarwood Manor tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.25% per annum.

In March 2011, the Partnership entered into a sale and repurchase transaction with DB related to the Autumn Pines tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond. The transaction was structured such that DB purchased the Autumn Pines bond for $10.0 million plus accrued interest on March 31, 2011. This transaction is a secured financing arrangement and is reflected as such in the June 30, 2011 financial statements. The proceeds of this structured financing were utilized to enable the Partnership to complete the investments in the Briarwood Manor tax-exempt bond and the Arboretum MF Property during the first quarter. On July 7, 2011, the Partnership repurchased the Autumn Pines bond for $10.0 million plus accrued interest in connection with the TOB facility, discussed above.

During 2010, the Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiary ATAX TEBS I, LLC, entered into a number of agreements relating to a long-term debt financing facility provided through the securitization of thirteen tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the ATAX TEBS I, LLC (the “Sponsor”) pursuant to the TEBS Financing. The TEBS Financing essentially provides the Company with a long-term variable-rate debt facility at interest rates reflecting prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates (Note 4)

The gross proceeds from TEBS Financing were approximately $95.8 million. After the payment of transaction expenses, the Company received net proceeds from the TEBS Financing of approximately $90.4 million. The Company applied approximately $49.5 million of these net proceeds to repay the entire outstanding principal of, and accrued interest on, its secured term loan from Bank of America.

The Class A TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of $95.8 million and were sold through a placement agent to unaffiliated investors. The holders of the Class A TEBS Certificates are entitled to receive regular payments of interest from Freddie Mac at a variable rate which resets periodically based on the weekly Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) floating index rate plus certain credit, facility, remarketing and servicing fees (the “Facility Fees”). As of closing, the SIFMA rate was equal to 0.25% and the total Facility Fees were 1.9%, resulting in a total initial cost of borrowing of 2.15%. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the SIFMA rate was equal to 0.14% and 0.34%, respectively, resulting in a total cost of borrowing of 2.14% and 2.24%, respectively.

The Company’s Debt Financing as of June 30, 2011, contractually matures over the next five years and thereafter as follows:



2011	$	10,390,584
2012	1,945,000

Transactions with Related Parties [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block]	Transactions with Related Parties The general partner of the Partnership, AFCA 2, is entitled to receive an administrative fee from the Partnership equal to 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of any of its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, taxable loans collateralized by real property, and other tax-exempt investments for which the owner of the financed property or other third party is not obligated to pay such administrative fee directly to AFCA 2. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Partnership paid administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $185,600 and $386,600, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Partnership paid administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $105,000 and $200,000, respectively. In addition to the administrative fees paid directly by the Partnership, AFCA 2 receives administrative fees directly from the owners of properties financed by certain of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership. These administrative fees also equal 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of these tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and totaled approximately $39,500 and $85,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, these fees totaled approximately $45,000 and $100,000, respectively. AFCA 2 earned mortgage placement fees in connection with the acquisition of certain tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. These mortgage placement fees were paid by the owners of the respective properties and, accordingly, have not been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements because these properties are not considered VIEs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, AFCA 2 earned mortgage placement fees of approximately $363,000 and $407,000 respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, AFCA 2 earned mortgage placement fees of approximately $339,000. An affiliate of AFCA 2, America First Properties Management Company, LLC (“Properties Management”), provides property management services for Arboretum, Ashley Square Apartments, Iona Lakes Apartments, Bent Tree Apartments, Lake Forest Apartments, Fairmont Oaks Apartments, Cross Creek, Clarkson College, Woodland Park, Residences at DeCordova, Eagle Ridge, Eagle Village, Crescent Village, Meadowview, Willow Bend, Postwoods, Churchland, Glynn Place and Greens of Pine Glen. Properties Management earned management fees of approximately $290,000 and $545,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, for the management of these properties. Properties Management earned management fees of approximately $245,000 and $483,000 for the management of Ashley Square Apartments, Iona Lakes Apartments, Bent Tree Apartments, Lake Forest Apartments, Fairmont Oaks Apartments, Cross Creek, Clarkson College, Woodland Park, Residences at DeCordova, Eagle Ridge, Crescent Village, Meadowview, Willow Bend, Postwoods, Churchland, Glynn Place and Greens of Pine Glen for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, repectively. These property management fees are not Partnership expenses, but are paid in each case by the owner of the multifamily apartment property. However, for properties owned by entities treated as Consolidated VIEs and for MF Properties, the property management fees are reflected as real estate operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The property management fees are paid out of the revenues generated by all properties financed by tax-exempt bonds and taxable mortgages prior to the payment of debt service on the Partnership’s tax-exempt revenue bonds and taxable loans. The owners of the limited-purpose corporations which own three of the Consolidated VIEs held by the Company are employees of Burlington who are not involved in the operation or management of the Company and who are not executive officers or managers of Burlington.

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has four derivative agreements in order to mitigate its exposure to increases in interest rates on its variable-rate debt financing and mortgages payable. The terms of the derivative agreements are as follows:



Date Purchased	Notional Amount		Effective Capped Rate		Maturity Date	Purchase Price		Counterparty
Date Purchased	Notional Amount		Effective Capped Rate		Maturity Date	Purchase Price		Counterparty

September 2, 2010	$	31,936,667	3.00	%	September 1, 2017	$	921,000	Bank of New York Mellon

September 2, 2010	$	31,936,667	3.00	%	September 1, 2017	$	845,600	Barclays Bank PLC

September 2, 2010	$	31,936,667	3.00	%	September 1, 2017	$	928,000	Royal Bank of Canada

October 29, 2008	$	4,480,000	6.00	%	November 1, 2011	$	26,512	Bank of America

These interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included in current period earnings within interest expense. The change in the fair value of these derivative contracts resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $656,000 and $889,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The change in the fair value of derivative contracts resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $14,000 and $129,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Segment Reporting

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2011

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

Segment Reporting

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

Tax-Exempt Bond Investments Segment

The Tax-Exempt Bond Investments segment consists of the Company’s portfolio of federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential apartments. Such tax-exempt bonds are held as long-term investments. The multifamily apartment properties financed by these tax-exempt bonds contain a total of 4,059 rental units. As of June 30, 2011, the Company held eighteen tax-exempt bonds (secured by eighteen properties) not associated with Consolidated VIEs and three tax-exempt bonds associated with Consolidated VIEs. Of these twenty-one tax-exempt bonds, seven are owned directly by the Partnership, thirteen are owned by the Partnership's Consolidated Subsidiary, ATAX TEBS I, LLC, and one is held in trust by Deutsche Bank. Additionally, two of these bonds secured by the three Ohio Properties subject to a sales agreement (Note 2) are eliminated in consolidation on the Company's financial statements.

MF Properties Segment

The MF Properties segment consists of indirect equity interests in twelve multifamily apartment properties which are not currently financed by tax-exempt bonds held by the Partnership but which the Partnership eventually intends to finance by such bonds through a restructuring. In connection with any such restructuring, the Partnership will be required to dispose of any equity interest held in such MF Properties. The Partnership's interests in its current MF Properties are not currently classified as Assets Held for Sale because the Partnership is not actively marketing them for sale, there is no definitive purchase agreement in existence that, under current guidance, can be recognized as a sale of real estate assets and, therefore, no sale is expected in the next twelve months. As discussed above, the Ohio Properties are subject to a sales agreement (Note 2). During the time the Partnership holds an interest in a MF Property, any net rental income generated by the MF Properties in excess of debt service will be available for distribution to the Partnership in accordance with its interest in the MF Property. Any such cash distribution will contribute to the Partnership’s Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”).

The Consolidated VIE Segment

The Consolidated VIE segment consists of multifamily apartment properties which are financed with tax-exempt bonds held by the Partnership, the assets, liabilities and operating results of which are consolidated with those of the Partnership as a result of consolidation guidance. The tax-exempt bonds on these Consolidated VIE properties are eliminated from the Company’s financial statements as a result of such consolidation, however, such bonds are held as long-term investments by the Partnership which continues to be entitled to receive principal and interest payments on such bonds. The Company does not actually own an equity position in the Consolidated VIEs or their underlying properties. As of June 30, 2011, the Company consolidated three VIE multifamily apartment properties containing a total of 650 rental units. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Company consolidated six VIEs containing 1,152 rental units.

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

The following table details certain key financial information for the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, and year ended December 31, 2010:

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Commitments and Contingencies The Company, from time to time, may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are frequently covered by insurance. If it has been determined that a loss is probable to occur, the estimated amount of the loss is accrued in the consolidated financial statements. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Certain of the MF Properties own apartment properties that generated LIHTCs for the previous partners in these partnerships. In connection with the acquisition of partnership interests in these partnerships by subsidiaries of the Company, the Company has agreed to reimburse the prior partners for any liabilities they incur due to recapture of these tax credits to the extent the recapture liability is due to the operation of the properties in a manner inconsistent with the laws and regulations relating to such tax credits after the date of acquisition. No amount has been accrued for this contingent liability because management believes that the likelihood of any payments being required there under is remote.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	6 Months Ended
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Jun. 30, 2011
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2010, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The new accounting guidance amends previously issued guidance and adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements related to Level 3 measurements. It also provides clarification about existing fair value disclosures, the level of disaggregation required, and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. ASU No. 2010-20 enhances the existing disclosure requirements providing more transparency of the allowance for loan losses and credit quality of financing receivables. The new disclosures that relate to information as of the end of a reporting period were effective for the first interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The new disclosures that relate to activity occurring during the reporting period will be effective for the first interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, or first quarter of fiscal 2011 and thereafter in the Company’s case. The adoption of ASU 2010-20 impacted the disclosures in Note 6 but did not affect financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2010-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The ASU is a result of joint efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") to develop a single, converged fair value framework that addresses how to measure fair value and the disclosures to be provided. The ASU expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-05, Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options previously allowed for in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU did not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements

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


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


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

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


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


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


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

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

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

Investments in Tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds. The fair values of the Company’s investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds have each been based on a discounted cash flow and yield to maturity analysis. There is no active trading market for the bonds and price quotes for the bonds are not available. If available, the General Partner may also consider price quotes on similar bonds or other information from external sources, such as pricing services. The estimates of the fair values of these bonds, whether estimated by the Company or based on external sources, are based largely on unobservable inputs the General Partner believes would be used by market participants. Additionally, the calculation methodology used by the external sources and the Company encompasses the use of judgment in its application. Given these facts the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds is categorized as a Level 3 input.

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

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