AMERICA FIRST TAX EXEMPT INVESTORS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
America First Tax Exempt Investors, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Delaware corporation formed for the 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 apartments.
The accompanying interim unaudited 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnerships Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2004, and the results of operations for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and variable interest entities (VIEs) for which the Partnership has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant transactions and accounts between the Partnership and the VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 Partnership does not presently believe that the consolidation of VIEs for reporting under GAAP will impact the Partnerships tax status, amounts reported to BUC holders on IRS Form K-1, the Partnerships ability to distribute tax-exempt interest to BUC holders, the current level of quarterly distributions or the tax-exempt status of the underlying properties.
During the second quarter of 2004, the Partnership discovered a bookkeeping error in the consolidation of VIEs related to the implementation of FIN46R. In the consolidation, tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds of the VIEs owned by the Partnership are eliminated. Certain deferred financing costs related to the eliminated debt were not identified and thus were not eliminated in the initial implementation of FIN46R as of January 1, 2004. As a result, the financial results as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, are being restated. The previously reported amounts and the restated amounts for the first quarter of 2004 are as follows:

The Partnership intends to file an amended Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB 51 (FIN 46). A modification to FIN 46 was released in December 2003 (FIN 46R). The Partnership is required to apply FIN 46R to variable interests in VIEs created after December 31, 2003. For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, the interpretation is to be applied by March 31, 2004. FIN 46, as revised by FIN 46R, clarifies the application of existing accounting pronouncements to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Such entities are considered VIEs.
FIN 46R is a complex standard that requires significant analysis and judgment. With respect to the multifamily properties which collateralize certain of the Partnerships investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, management has determined that all but one of the entities which own the multifamily properties are VIEs. In addition, management has determined that the Partnership is the primary beneficiary of such VIEs pursuant to the terms of each tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and the criteria within FIN 46R. Therefore, the Partnership is required to consolidate the results of each VIEs multifamily property into the Partnerships financial statements. Because each of the VIEs required to be consolidated was created before January 1, 2004, the assets and liabilities of the VIEs have initially been measured at their carrying amounts with the net amount added to the balance sheet being recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
6
The Partnership has elected to implement FIN 46R as of January 1, 2004 so as to provide a consistent presentation in all financial statements throughout 2004. As of January 1, 2004, the Partnership recorded a $38.0 million loss on the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as a result of recording the net deficit allocable to the Partnerships variable interest in the VIEs. As of January 1, 2004, the Partnership recorded net assets of these VIEs, before related applicable elimination entries, consisting primarily of $2.5 million in restricted cash, $0.5 million in unrestricted cash, $93.5 million in investments in real estate, $2.6 million in other assets, $3.7 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $10.7 million in notes and interest payable and $122.5 million in bonds payable.
The following updates the Partnerships accounting policies as a result of the consolidation of VIEs:
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include highly liquid securities and investments in federally tax-exempt securities with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash and cash equivalents, which are legally restricted to use, is comprised of resident security deposits, required maintenance reserves, escrowed funds and collateral for interest rate cap agreements. In addition, the Partnership must maintain unencumbered cash of $609,000 per the related collateral agreements.
Investments in Real Estate
The Partnerships investments in real estate are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of real estate is based on the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally 27-1/2 years on multifamily residential apartment buildings and five to fifteen years on capital improvements and is calculated using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while significant improvements, renovations and replacements are capitalized.
Management reviews each property for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based upon comparing the net book value of each real estate property to the sum of its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated fair value. There is no impairment losses incurred and/or recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Revenue Recognition on Investments in Real Estate
The Partnerships VIEs lease multifamily rental units under operating leases with terms of one year or less. Rental revenue is recognized as earned, net of rental concessions, which approximates the straight-line method over the related lease term.
2. 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 (as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership) and for the allocation of income and loss from operations and allocation of income and loss arising from a repayment, sale or liquidation.
7
The unallocated deficit of the VIEs is primarily comprised of the accumulated historical net losses of the VIEs as of January 1, 2004 (FIN 46R implementation date) and the VIEs net loss of $2,329,103 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The loss resulting from the consolidation of the VIEs is not allocated between the General Partner and BUC holders.
The Partnership plans to make cash distributions on a quarterly basis; however, distributions may be made on a monthly or semiannual basis if the General Partner so elects.
3. Investments in Tax Exempt Bonds
The Partnership had the following investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and other tax-exempt bonds as of June 30, 2004:

The Partnership had not recorded investments in real estate prior to the implementation of FIN46R on January 1, 2004.
5. Debt and Bond Financing
As of June 30, 2004, the terms of $25,250,000 of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, for which the Partnership holds an investment in, were restructured to reduce the base interest rate from 7.5% to 5.0% and create two separate issue series, Series A for $19,100,000 and Series B for $6,150,000. The Partnership subsequently sold $19,100,000 (Series A) of its investment in the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and used a portion of the proceeds to repay $14,000,000 in debt financing. The $19,100,000 in bonds payable included in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2004 is an obligation of a consolidated VIE which owns the property securing the bonds. The Partnerships investment in the Series B bonds for $6,150,000 and the VIEs related bonds payable eliminate in consolidation. The bonds mature in June 2034.
The Partnerships debt financing represents borrowings incurred to finance the acquisition of additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and other investments. Interest rates are reset weekly and averaged 1.87% and 1.97% (including various fees) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
6. Related Party Transactions
The General Partner is entitled to receive an administrative fee from the Partnership up to 0.45% of the outstanding principal balance of any tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond or other mortgage investment, unless the owner of the property financed by such tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond or other mortgage investment or another third party is required to pay such administrative fee. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, the Partnerships administrative fees to the General Partner were $17,887 and $37,044, respectively.
9
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, the Partnerships administrative fees to the General Partner were $4,387 and $8,775, respectively. This increase in the administrative fees in 2004 is due to the acquisitions of the tax-exempt bonds for Chandler Creek and Clarkson College. The Partnership may become obligated to pay additional administrative fees to the General Partner in the event the Partnership acquires additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds or other mortgage investments and is not able to negotiate the payment of these fees by the property owners or in the event the Partnership acquires title to any of the properties securing its existing tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds by reason of foreclosure. Additionally, the General Partner received administrative fees of $104,254 and $182,536, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and $78,291 and $147,460, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 from the owners of properties financed by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held by the Partnership. These administrative fees are payable by the property owners prior to the payment of any contingent interest on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by the respective properties.
The General Partner remains entitled to receive approximately $359,000 in administrative fees from the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 1989. The payment of these fees, which has been deferred by the General Partner, is contingent upon, and will be paid only out of future profits realized by the Partnership from the disposition of any Partnership assets. These deferred fees will be recorded as an expense by the Partnership when it is probable that these fees will be paid.
An affiliate of the General Partner was retained to provide property management services for Ashley Pointe at Eagle Crest, Ashley Square, Bent Tree Apartments, Clear Lake Colony Apartments, Chandler Creek Apartments (beginning in February 2004), Fairmont Oaks Apartments, Iona Lakes Apartments, Lake Forest Apartments and Northwoods Lake Apartments. The management fees paid by the property owners to the affiliate of the General Partner amounted to $173,785 and $339,261 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively, and $154,506 and $313,373 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively. These property management fees are paid by the respective properties prior to the payment of any interest on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and taxable loans held by the Partnership on these properties.
7. Interest Rate Cap Agreements
The Partnership has entered into three derivative agreements in order to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its variable rate debt financing.
On July 1, 2002, the Partnership purchased an interest rate cap from Bear Stearns Financial Products, Inc. The interest rate cap was purchased at a $489,000 premium, has a cap on the floating rate index of 3.0%, has a notional amount of $20,000,000 and matures on July 1, 2006. It effectively caps the floating rate index (the BMA Municipal Index) at 3.0%, so the maximum interest rate to be paid on $20,000,000 of debt financing is 3% plus remarketing, credit enhancement, liquidity and trustee fees which aggregate to approximately 90 basis points.
On November 1, 2002, the Partnership purchased a convertible interest rate cap from Bank of America. The convertible interest rate cap was purchased at a $250,000 premium, has a cap on the floating rate index of 3.0%, has a notional amount of $10,000,000 and matures on November 1, 2007. It effectively caps the floating rate index at 3.0%, so the maximum interest rate to be paid on $10,000,000 of debt financing is 3.0% plus remarketing, credit enhancement, liquidity and trustee fees which aggregate to approximately 90 basis points. At the option of Bank of America, the convertible cap may be converted to a fixed rate swap, in which event the
10
Partnerships interest expense would be converted to a fixed rate of 2.6% plus remarketing, credit enhancement, liquidity and trustee fees which aggregate to approximately 90 basis points for the remaining term of the agreement.
On February 1, 2003, the Partnership purchased a convertible interest rate cap from Bank of America. The convertible interest rate cap was purchased at a $608,000 premium, has a cap on the floating rate index of 3.5%, has a notional amount of $15,000,000 and matures on January 1, 2010. It effectively caps the floating rate index at 3.5%, so the maximum interest rate to be paid on $15,000,000 of debt financing is 3.5% plus remarketing, credit enhancement, liquidity and trustee fees which aggregate to approximately 90 basis points. At Bank of Americas option, the convertible cap may be converted to a fixed rate swap, in which event the Partnerships interest expense would be converted to a fixed rate of 2.95% plus remarketing, credit enhancement, liquidity and trustee fees which aggregate to approximately 90 basis points for the remaining term of the agreement.
These interest rate caps are recorded at fair market value. The result of marking the interest rate cap agreements to market was income of $405,076 and expense of $30,249 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and expenses of $521,304 and $783,988 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003. The income or expense recorded is included as a component of Interest expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
8. Consolidation of VIEs
With respect to the multifamily properties which collateralize certain of the Partnerships investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, management has determined that all but one of the entities (Chandler Creek) which own the multifamily properties are VIEs as defined by FIN 46R. In addition, management has determined that the Partnership is the primary beneficiary of such VIEs pursuant to the terms of each tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond and the criteria included in FIN 46R. Therefore, as required by FIN 46R, the Partnership must consolidate the results of each applicable multifamily property into its financial statements. The carrying amounts of the properties collateralizing the Partnerships investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are shown on the balance sheet as Investments in real estate and are detailed in Note 4.
The following table provides information regarding the occupancy of the properties included in the VIE consolidation as of June 30, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

(1) Economic occupancy is presented for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and is defined as the net rental income received divided by the maximum amount of rental income to be derived from each property. This statistic is reflective of rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units.
The Partnerships maximum exposure to loss from these VIEs is represented by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership and taxable loans made by the Partnership to the properties. The following tables provide information regarding the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and the taxable loans which have been eliminated in the consolidation of the VIEs.

(1) Elimination of interest income related to investment in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and interest expense related to bonds payable.
(2) Elimination of interest income related to taxable loans.
The Partnership does not presently believe that the consolidation of VIEs for reporting under GAAP will impact the Partnerships tax status, amounts reported to BUC holders on IRS Form K-1, the Partnerships ability to distribute tax-exempt income to BUC holders, the current level of quarterly distributions or the tax-exempt status of the underlying properties.
9. Segment Reporting
The Partnership defines each of the multifamily apartment properties consolidated under FIN 46R as an individual operating segment. It has determined that all multifamily apartment properties have similar economic characteristics and meet the other criteria which permit the multifamily apartment properties to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment of multifamily apartment properties. Prior to the application of FIN 46R as of January 1, 2004, the Partnership had a single reportable segment which consisted of the investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.
16
The revenues, net income (loss), net operating income and total assets for the Companys reportable segment as of or for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are summarized as follows:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report (including, but not limited to, the information contained in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) contains forward-looking statements that reflect managements current beliefs and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, the Partnerships performance and financial results. All statements, trend analysis and other information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Partnership and the investments it has made constitute forward-looking statements. BUC holders and others should understand that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and a number of factors could affect the future results of the Partnership and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained herein. These factors include general economic and business conditions such as the availability and credit worthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents, operating expenses, the terms and availability of financing for properties financed by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership, adverse changes in the real estate markets from governmental or legislative forces, lack of availability and credit worthiness of counter parties to finance future acquisitions and interest rate fluctuations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Partnerships critical accounting policies are the same as those described in the Partnerships Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 with the addition of the following:
Variable interest entities (VIEs)
When the Partnership invests in a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond which is collateralized by the underlying multifamily property, the Partnership will evaluate the entity which issued the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond to determine if it is a VIE as defined by FIN 46R. If it is determined that the entity is a VIE, the Partnership will then evaluate if it is the primary beneficiary of such VIE. If the Partnership determines itself to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, then the financial results of the related multi-family property will be consolidated in the Partnerships financial statements. As a result of such consolidation, the tax-exempt or taxable debt financing provided by the Partnership to such consolidated VIE will be eliminated as part of the consolidation process. However, the Partnership will continue to receive interest and principal payments on such debt and these payments will retain their characterization as tax-exempt or taxable, as the case may be.
General
The Partnership was formed 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 apartments. The Partnerships business objectives are to: (i) preserve and protect its capital; (ii) provide regular cash distributions to BUC holders; and, (iii) provide a potential for an enhanced federally tax-exempt yield as a result of a participation interest in the net cash flow and net capital appreciation of the underlying real estate properties financed by the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.
The Partnership is pursuing a business strategy of acquiring additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds on a leveraged basis in order to: (i) increase the amount of tax-exempt interest available for distribution to its BUC holders; (ii) reduce risk through asset diversification and interest rate hedging; and (iii) achieve economies of scale. The Partnership seeks to achieve its investment growth strategy by investing in additional tax-exempt
18
mortgage revenue bonds and related investments, taking advantage of attractive financing structures available in the tax-exempt securities market and entering into interest rate risk management instruments.
The Partnerships primary assets are its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, which provide permanent financing for eleven multifamily housing properties. A description of the multifamily housing properties collateralizing the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership as of June 30, 2004 is as follows:

(1) Economic occupancy is presented for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and is defined as the net rental income received divided by the maximum amount of rental income to be derived from each property. This statistic is reflective of rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2004, the consolidation of VIEs under FIN 46R changed the presentation of financial information in the Partnerships financial statements, but did not change the Partnerships primary purpose, business objectives or the primary assets the Partnership holds to meet its purpose and objectives. As a result of FIN46R, the Partnerships financial statements now present consolidated financial information of the underlying properties owned by the VIEs as compared to the interest income generated from the tax-exempt mortgage bonds and taxable mortgage loans made by the Partnership to finance these properties.
Executive Summary
The multifamily housing industry is experiencing soft market conditions which are attributable to three factors: (i) recessionary conditions in certain markets; (ii) over-building of apartment properties; and (iii) record levels of single family home purchases largely due to record low mortgage interest rates. These factors have reduced the availability and increased the competition for creditworthy tenants, which in turn reduces effective rents in the form of concessions and increases operating costs such as leasing incentives. As of June 30, 2004, all of the Partnerships tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds were paying their full amount of base interest; however, soft market conditions that result in a decline in net rental revenues from the Partnerships collateral of multifamily properties may negatively impact future interest income. At certain properties the decline in net rental income may last for an extended period. As a result, the Partnership has the ability and may restructure the terms of the related tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond to reduce the base interest rate.
Furthermore, the collection of contingent interest payable from the excess cash flow of the underlying properties may decrease significantly in times of economic slowdown. The Partnership remains aware of this potential and continues to monitor the performance of the multifamily properties collateralizing its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. Offsetting these weak conditions are the positive economic benefits the Partnership is experiencing from the record low interest rates it is paying on its variable-rate debt.
19
As of June 30, 2004, the terms of $25,250,000 of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, for which the Partnership holds an investment in, were restructured to reduce the base interest rate from 7.5% to 5.0% and create two separate issue series, Series A for $19,100,000 and Series B for $6,150,000. The Partnership subsequently sold $19,100,000 (Series A) of its investment in the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and used a portion of the proceeds to repay $14,000,000 in debt financing. The $19,100,000 in bonds payable included in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2004 is an obligation of a consolidated VIE which owns the property securing the bonds. The Partnerships investment in the Series B bonds for $6,150,000 and the VIEs related bonds payable eliminate in consolidation. The bonds mature in June 2034.
In April 2004, the Partnership converted $2,823,248 of the taxable loan to Clarkson College into tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued on April 1, 2004. The Partnership funded an additional $1,796,752 during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 for the project which is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2004. Currently the Partnership holds $4,620,000 of these bonds and expects to purchase the remaining amount of the anticipated $6.2 million in tax-exempt bonds to be issued on this project.
The following is a summary of significant items or events that have had or could have an effect on the Partnerships financial position, results of operations, and liquidity:
The VIEs for which the Partnership is the primary beneficiary have been consolidated into the Partnerships financial results effective January 1, 2004.
Physical occupancy at the Partnerships properties decreased from 92% as of December 31, 2003 to 89% as of June 30, 2004 while average economic occupancy decreased from 83% for the year ended December 31, 2003 to 80% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Additional funding in the amount of $4.6 million was advanced on the Clarkson student housing project in the form of other tax-exempt revenue bonds.
The Partnerships net income, basic and diluted, per BUC increased to $0.48 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $0.25 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The majority of the net increase consists of an increase of $1,960,000 resulting from the elimination, due to effects of consolidation resulting from the implementation FIN 46R, of a previously recorded loan loss reserve. The elimination of the loan loss reserve is included in the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of the Partnerships results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this report as well as the Partnerships Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003.
During the second quarter of 2004, the Partnership discovered a bookkeeping error in the consolidation of VIEs related to the implementation of FIN46R. In the consolidation, tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds of the VIEs owned by the Partnership are eliminated. Certain deferred financing costs related to the eliminated debt were not identified and thus were not eliminated in the initial implementation of FIN46R as of January 1, 2004. As a result, the financial results as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, are being restated. The previously reported amounts and the restated amounts for the first quarter of 2004 are as follows:

Rental income. Rental income in the current period is the result of consolidating the VIEs. No rental income was recorded in 2003 since the Partnership did not report the VIEs financial results on a consolidated basis in 2003. The rental income recognized in 2004 is reflective of current physical occupancy of 90% and economic occupancy of 82% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The rental income reported by the Partnership for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased slightly compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The Partnership expects both physical and economic occupancy to increase slightly during 2004 if mortgage interest rates continue to increase which in turn should cause rental income to increase.
Real estate operating expenses. Real estate operating expenses in the current period are the result of consolidating the VIEs. Real estate operating expenses are comprised principally of real estate taxes, property insurance, utilities, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, and salaries and related employee expenses of on-site employees. A portion of real estate operating expenses are fixed in nature, thus a decrease in physical and economic occupancy would result in a reduction of operating margins. Conversely, as physical and economic occupancy increase, the fixed nature of these expenses will increase operating margins as these real estate operating expenses would not increase at the same rate.
Depreciation expense. Depreciation expense in the current period is the result of consolidating the financial results of VIEs. This expense remained fairly consistent from quarter to quarter in 2004 and is expected to remain constant for the remainder of the year because no significant capital expenditures are planned for the real estate properties owned by the consolidated VIEs.
Mortgage revenue bond investment income. The decrease in mortgage revenue bond investment income from 2003 to 2004 is due almost entirely to the elimination of the interest income payments received by the Partnership from the VIEs as a result of consolidation. This income relates directly to the tax-exempt mortgage
21
revenue bond expense of the underlying properties which are owned by the VIEs. This decrease was offset by an increase in tax-exempt interest income due to the acquisition of the Clarkson College bonds in April of 2004
Interest expense. Interest expense on the Partnerships debt financing decreased primarily due to the mark to market adjustment recorded for the interest rate caps which is a component of interest expense. The mark to market adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2004 was a gain of $405,076 compared to a loss of $332,814 for the same period in 2003. The mark to market value may change significantly from quarter to quarter and impact the net income but not the actual cash flows. The interest expense, excluding the mark to market adjustment remained relatively constant for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The Partnerships average effective interest rate on its debt financing was 1.99% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 2.01 % for the three months ended June 30, 2003.
Amortization expenses. Amortization expenses increased primarily due to the bond and debt financing costs expensed for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 on the restructure of the Northwood Lakes bonds.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased due primarily to an increase in salaries and related expenses and higher administrative fees paid to the General Partner resulting from the acquisition of additional tax-exempt investments by the Partnership in accordance with its investment strategy.

The mark to market value may change significantly from quarter to quarter and impact the net income but not the actual cash flows. The interest expense, excluding the mark to market adjustment increased for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due to (i) an increase of approximately $66,000 in interest expense attributable to the additional $9.0 million of debt financing, and (ii) an increase of approximately $38,000 attributable to the debt financing completed in April 2003.
Amortization expenses. Amortization expenses increased primarily due to the bond and debt financing costs expensed for the six months ended June 30, 2004 on the restructure of the Northwood Lakes bonds.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased due primarily to an increase in salaries and related expenses and higher administrative fees paid to the General Partner resulting from the acquisition of additional tax-exempt investments by the Partnership in accordance with its investment strategy.

Mortgage revenue bond investment income. Mortgage revenue bond investment income increased due to: (i) interest earned from the acquisition of Chandler Creek tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds in December 2003; (ii) interest earned on the acquisition of the Clarkson College tax-exempt bonds issued in April 2004, (iii) an increase in past due interest received from Woodbridge at Louisville, offset by (iv) a decrease in interest earned on $19.1 million of the Northwoods Lake Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds sold in June 2004. The Partnership earned all of its base interest due in the second quarter of 2004 on all of its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held as of June 30, 2004.
Other bond investment income. Other bond investment income represents income earned on the Partnerships other tax-exempt bonds. The other bond investment income remained constant.
Other interest income. Other interest income represents income earned on the Partnerships taxable loans and cash and cash equivalents. The increase is primarily due to the interest earned on the taxable loan for Clarkson College prior to being converted to tax-exempt bonds in April 2004, offset by a decrease in interest income on cash and cash equivalents due to a decrease in the average cash balance and lower interest rates earned on cash and cash equivalents.
Interest expense. Interest expense on the Partnerships debt financing decreased primarily due to the mark to market adjustment recorded for the interest rate caps which is a component of interest expense. The mark to market adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2004 was a gain of $405,076 compared to a loss of $332,814 for the same period in 2003. The mark to market value may change significantly from quarter to quarter and impact the net income but not the actual cash flows. The interest expense, excluding the mark to market gain remained relatively constant for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The Partnerships average effective interest rate on its debt financing was 1.99% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 2.01 % for the three months ended June 30, 2003.
Amortization expenses. Amortization expenses increased primarily due to the bond and debt financing costs expensed for the three months ended June 30, 2004 on the restructure of the Northwood Lakes bonds.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased due primarily to an increase in salaries and related expenses and higher administrative fees paid to the General Partner resulting from the acquisition of additional tax-exempt investments by the Partnership in accordance with its investment strategy.

Mortgage revenue bond investment income. Mortgage revenue bond investment income increased due to: (i) interest earned on the Chandler Creek Apartments bond which was acquired in December 2003, (ii) an increase in interest earned on Fairmont Oaks Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds acquired in April 2003, and (iii) interest earned on the acquisition of the Clarkson College tax-exempt bonds issued in April 2004, offset by (iv) a decrease in interest earned on $19.1 million of the Northwoods Lake Apartments tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds sold in June 2004 and, (v) a decrease in past-due base interest earned. The Partnership earned all of its base interest due in the second quarter of 2004 on all of its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds held as of June 30, 2004.
Other bond investment income. Other bond investment income represents income earned on the Partnerships other tax-exempt bonds. The other bond investment income remained constant.
Other interest income. Other interest income represents income earned on the Partnerships taxable loans and cash and cash equivalents. The increase is primarily due to interest earned on the taxable loan for Clarkson College converted to tax-exempt bonds in April 2004 offset by a decrease in interest income on cash and cash equivalents due to a decrease in the average cash balance and lower interest rates earned on its cash and cash equivalents.
Interest expense. Interest expense on the Partnerships debt financing decreased primarily due to the mark to market adjustment recorded for the interest rate caps which is a component of interest expense. The mark to market adjustment recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was a loss of $30,249 compared to a loss of $783,989 for the same period in 2003. The mark to market value may change significantly from quarter to quarter and impact the net income but not the actual cash flows. The interest expense, excluding the mark to market adjustment increased for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due to (i) an increase of approximately $66,000 in interest expense attributable to the additional $9.0 million of debt financing, and (ii) an increase of approximately $38,000 attributable to the debt financing completed in April 2003.
Amortization expenses. Amortization expenses increased primarily due to the bond and debt financing costs expensed on the restructure of the Northwood Lakes bonds.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased due primarily to an
25
increase in salaries and related expenses and higher administrative fees paid to the General Partner resulting from the acquisition of additional tax-exempt investments by the Partnership in accordance with its investment strategy.
Cash Available for Distribution (CAD)
To calculate CAD, amortization expense related to debt financing costs and bond issuance costs, interest rate cap expense, provision for loan losses, realized losses on investments and net income (loss) from VIEs are added back to the Partnerships net income as computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Partnership uses CAD as a supplemental measurement of its ability to pay distributions.
There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and the Partnerships computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies.
Although the Partnership considers CAD to be a useful measure of its operating performance, CAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities which are calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The following sets forth a reconciliation of the Partnerships net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP and its CAD for the periods set forth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Tax-exempt interest earned on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds represents the Partnerships principal source of cash flow. Tax-exempt interest is primarily comprised of base interest on the mortgage revenue bonds. The Partnership will also receive from time to time contingent interest on the mortgage revenue bonds. Contingent interest is only paid when the underlying properties generate excess cash flow, therefore, cash in-flows are fairly fixed in nature and increase only when the underlying properties have strong economic performances and when the Partnership acquires additional tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.
The Partnerships principal uses of cash are the payment of distributions to BUC holders, interest on debt financing and general and administrative expenses. The Partnership also uses cash to acquire additional investments. Distributions to BUC holders may increase or decrease at the determination of the General Partner. The Partnership is currently paying distributions of $0.54 per BUC per year. The General Partner determines the amount of the distributions based upon the projected future cash flows of the Partnership. Future distributions to BUC holders will depend upon the amount of base and contingent interest received on the tax-exempt mortgage
26
revenue bonds and other investments, the effective interest rate on the Partnerships variable-rate debt financing, and the amount of the Partnerships undistributed cash.
The Partnership believes that cash provided by net interest income from its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and other investments, supplemented, if necessary, by withdrawals from its reserve, will be adequate to meet its projected short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including the payment of expenses, interest and distributions to BUC holders.
The VIEs primary source of cash is cash generated by its real estate investments. Cash generated by the multifamily apartment properties is a function of the net cash flow of the underlying properties. The amount of operating cash generated by the VIEs is substantially dependent on the net rental revenues generated by the properties. Net rental revenues from a multifamily apartment property depend on the rental and occupancy rates of the property and on the level of operating expenses. Occupancy rates and rents are directly affected by the supply of, and demand for, apartments in the market areas in which a property is located. This, in turn, is affected by several factors, such as: local or national economic conditions, the amount of new apartment construction and interest rates on single-family mortgage loans. In addition, factors such as government regulation (such as zoning laws), inflation, real estate and other taxes, labor problems and natural disasters can affect the economic operations of a property.
The VIEs primary uses of cash are: (i) the payment of operating expenses; and (ii) the payment of debt service on the VIEs bonds and mortgage notes payable.
Cash provided by the operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased $307,914 compared to the same period a year earlier mainly due to timing differences in the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses partially offset by an increase of interest receivable from the acquisition of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. Cash used in investing activities decreased $4,284,915 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due to no acquisitions of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds revenue bonds in the current period compared to $8 million of acquisitions in the same period in 2003. This was offset by advances for the Clarkson College taxable loan of $2.2 million in the current period and advances of $1.8 million on the Clarkson College tax-exempt bond after initial conversion of the taxable loan to a tax-exempt bond in April 2004. Cash provided by financing activities decreased $3,580,603 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the principal payments made on short and long term debt financing in June 2004.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Partnerships primary market risk exposures are interest rate risk and credit risk. The Partnerships exposure to market risks relates primarily to its investments in tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and its debt financing.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental, monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond the Partnerships control. The nature of the Partnerships investment in the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and the debt financing used to finance these investments exposes the Partnership to financial risk due to fluctuations in market interest rates. The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds bear base interest at fixed rates and may additionally pay contingent interest which fluctuates based upon the cash flows of the underlying property.
As of June 30, 2004, the Partnership had total debt financing outstanding of $62,330,000. The weighted average interest rate of the variable-rate financing was 1.87%, including fees, for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
The stated maturity dates of the Partnerships debt financing are as follows:

(2) The counterparty has the right to convert the cap into a fixed rate swap with an effective fixed interest rate to the Partnership of 3.85%.
Credit Risk
The Partnerships primary credit risk is the risk of default on its portfolio of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and taxable loans collateralized by the multifamily properties. The tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds are not direct obligations of the governmental authorities that issued the bonds and are not guaranteed by such authorities or any insurer or other party. In addition, the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and the associated taxable loans are non-recourse obligations of the property owner. As a result, the sole source of principal and interest payments (including both base and contingent interest) on the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and the taxable loans is the net rental revenues generated by these properties or the net proceeds from the sale of these properties.
If a property is unable to sustain net rental revenues at a level necessary to pay current debt service obligations on the Partnerships tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond or taxable loan on such property, a default may occur. A propertys ability to generate net rental income is subject to a wide variety of factors, including rental and occupancy rates of the property and the level of operating expenses. Occupancy rates and rents are directly affected by the supply of, and demand for, apartments in the market area in which a property is located. This, in turn, is affected by several factors such as local or national economic conditions, the amount of new apartment construction and the affordability of single-family homes. In addition, factors such as government regulation (such as zoning laws), inflation, real estate and other taxes, labor problems and natural disasters can affect the economic operations of an apartment property.
Defaults on its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and taxable loans may reduce the amount of future cash available for distribution to BUC holders. In addition, if a propertys net rental income declines, it may affect the market value of the property. If the market value of a property deteriorates, the amount of net proceeds from the ultimate sale or refinancing of the property may be insufficient to repay the entire principal balance of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond or taxable loan secured by the property.
In the event of a default on a tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond or taxable loan, the Partnership will have the right to foreclose on the mortgage or deed of trust securing the property. If the Partnership takes ownership of the property securing a defaulted tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond, it will be entitled to all net rental revenues generated by the property. However, such amounts will no longer represent tax-exempt interest to the Partnership.
The Partnerships primary method of managing the credit risks associated with its tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and taxable loans is to perform a complete due diligence and underwriting process of the properties
29
securing these mortgage bonds and loans and to carefully monitor the performance of such property on a continuous basis.
The Partnership is also exposed to a credit risk with respect to its debt financing. All of the Partnerships debt financing has been obtained using securitizations issued through the Merrill Lynch P-Float program. In this program, the senior interests sold are credit enhanced by Merrill Lynch or its affiliate. The inability of Merrill Lynch or its affiliate to perform under the program or impairment of the credit enhancement may terminate the transaction and cause the Partnership to lose the net interest income earned as a result. The Partnership recognizes the concentration of financing with this institution and periodically monitors its ability to continue to perform. In addition, the Partnerships interest rate cap agreements are with two other counterparties. The $20 million rate cap agreement is with Bear Stearns and the $10 million and $15 million rate cap agreements are with Bank of America.
As the above information incorporates only those material positions or exposures that existed as of June 30, 2004, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. The ultimate economic impact of these market risks on the Partnership will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, the Partnerships risk mitigating strategies at that time and the overall business and economic environment.
Cash Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Partnerships cash and cash equivalents are deposited primarily into trust accounts at multiple financial institutions and are not covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Except as described below, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of America First have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures are effective for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the Partnership is required to disclose in the Partnerships reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
During the second quarter of 2004, the Partnership discovered a bookkeeping error in the consolidation of VIEs related to the implementation of FIN46R. In the consolidation, tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds of the VIEs owned by the Partnership are eliminated. Certain deferred financing costs related to the eliminated debt were not identified and thus were not eliminated in the initial implementation of FIN46R as of January 1, 2004. As a result, the financial results as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, are being restated.
In response, the Partnership has modified its disclosure controls and procedures to place additional emphasis on the review of the consolidation of VIEs.
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There were no significant changes in the Partnerships internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls made during the quarter covered by this report, that have, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Partnerships internal control over financial reporting.
