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.

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 BUC holders 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 BUC holders 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, 2009. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared consistently with the 2009 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 September 30, 2010, and the results of operations for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted new provisions of the consolidation guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 Consolidations (“ASC 810”) that amended the consolidation guidance applicable to VIEs and the definition of a VIE, and requires enhanced disclosures to provide more information about an enterprise’s involvement in a VIE. Under the consolidation guidance included in the ASC, the Partnership must make an evaluation of these entities to determine if they meet the definition of a VIE. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

The revised accounting standard introduces a more qualitative approach to evaluating VIEs for consolidation and requires the Partnership to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a VIE. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary, the entity that must consolidate the VIE, as the entity that has (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In adopting this revised accounting standard, the Partnership has re-evaluated all of its investments to determine if the property owners are VIEs and, if so, whether the Partnership is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. ASC 810 also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. As a result, changes to the Consolidated VIEs may occur in the future based on changes in circumstances. The accounting guidance on consolidations is complex and requires significant analysis and judgment. The adoption of these provisions on January 1, 2010 resulted in the deconsolidation of certain entities previously included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Through the continual reconsideration criteria, effective March 1, two additional entities determined to be VIEs are consolidated (see Note 3).

The Company has evaluated the accounting guidance in regard to the TEBS Financing (see Note 8) and has determined that the securitization transaction does not meet the accounting criteria for a sale or transfer of financial assets and will, therefore, be accounted for as a secured financing transaction. More specifically, ASC Subtopic 860-10, Transfers and Servicing: Overall (ASC 860-10), sets forth the conditions that must be met to de-recognize a transferred financial asset. ASC 860-10 provides, in part, that the transferor has surrendered control over transferred assets if and only if the transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through either of the following:

The TEBS Financing agreements contain certain provisions that allow the Company to (1) cause the return of certain individual bonds under defined circumstances, (2) cause the return of all of the bonds by electing an Optional Series Pool Release or (3) cause the return of any defaulted bonds. The Optional Series Pool Release is defined in the agreements as two specific dates, September 15, 2017 or September 15, 2020, on which the Company has the option to repurchase all of the securitized bonds. Given these terms, the Company has concluded that the condition in item 2 above is present in the agreements and, therefore, effective control over the transferred assets has not occurred. As effective control has not been transferred the transaction does not meet the conditions to de-recognize the assets resulting in the TEBS Financing being presented on the Company consolidated financial statements as a secured financing.

In determining the primary beneficiary of the TEBS Trust, 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 entity was designed to create, the variability associated with those risks and the interests which absorb such variability. The Partnership has retained the right, pursuant to the TEBS Financing agreements, to either substitute or reacquire some or all of the securitized bonds at various future dates and under various circumstances. As a result, the Partnership determined it had retained a controlling financial interest in the TEBS Trust because such actions effectively provide the Partnership with the ability to control decisions pertaining to the VIEs management of interest rate and credit risk. While in the TEBS Trust, the bond assets may only be used to settle obligations of the trust and the liabilities of the trust do not provide the Class A certificate holders with recourse to the general credit of the Partnership. The Partnership also considered the related party relationship of the entities involved in the VIE. It was determined that the Partnership met both of the primary beneficiary criteria and was the most closely associated with the VIE and, therefore, was determined to be the primary beneficiary.

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 BUC holder on a periodic basis, as determined by the General Partner, based on the number of BUCs held by each BUC holder 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 BUC holder of record on the last day of each distribution period based on the number of BUCs held by each BUC holder 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.

During June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby four of the MF Properties, the Ohio Properties, were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity (See Note 5). The new owners did not contribute 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 ASC 360-20, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Real Estate Sales, ("ASC 360-20"), the sale and restructure does not meet the criteria for treatment as a sale. 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 can be accounted for as a sale. Although the operating results of the Ohio Properties continue to be presented as MF Properties, the net income or loss attributable to these properties is presented as income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests. 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 deferred gain on the sale transaction of approximately $1.8 million. As the deferred gain on the transaction represents cash paid to the Company and no on-going legal obligations related to the Ohio Properties or potential obligation to repay any amounts exists, the deferred gain represents income from a tax perspective and Cash Available for Distribution. This gain met the definition of Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest (Tier 2 income) and was therefore distributed 75% to the BUC holders and 25% to the General Partner. The accounting treatment under GAAP combined with the distribution of Tier 2 income under the Agreement of Limited Partnership results in a negative balance in the capital account of the General Partner as of September 30, 2010. The negative balance will reverse when the deferred gain is able to be recognized under GAAP which would result in a consistent treatment of the transaction between tax accounting, the allocations of income and distributions as outline in the Agreement of Limited Partnership and GAAP.

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.

The Partnership has determined that, as of January 1, 2010, six 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 and Lake Forest. Additionally, in January 2010, the Partnership issued a Notice of Default on two bond holdings, Residences at DeCordova ("DeCordova") (formerly known as ("f/k/a") The Gardens of DeCordova) and Residences at Weatherford ("Weatherford") (f/k/a The Gardens of Weatherford), and began foreclosure procedures. The foreclosure on these bonds was completed in March 2010. Simultaneous with the foreclosure, the properties were acquired through the assumption of liabilities by new ownership and the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds owned by the Partnership became the obligations of the new owners. Prior to the foreclosure and ownership transfer the owners of these properties were not considered VIEs. Based on the foreclosures and the lack of sufficient equity investment at risk by the new owners, these entities were determined to be Consolidated VIEs in March 2010.

The Partnership has determined it is the primary beneficiary of the Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, Iona Lakes, Lake Forest, DeCordova and Weatherford VIEs. 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 in four of these entities, Bent Tree, Fairmont Oaks, Iona Lake 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.

Residences at DeCordova. This property is a senior (55+) affordable housing project located in Granbury, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Construction was completed in April 2009 and lease-up continues, however, the property 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. In January 2010, the Partnership issued a Notice of Default through the bond trustee to begin foreclosure procedures in order to remove the limited partner. Such notice was issued in February 2010 and the foreclosure was completed in March 2010. Through this process the Partnership has removed the limited partner which will allow the property owner to “re-syndicate” the low income housing tax credits (“LIHTCs”) to a new limited partner thereby providing additional capital to the project. The Partnership believes that, if this can be accomplished, such new equity would be sufficient to allow for the current bonds to remain in place and operations be funded through an extended lease-up period. Until such time as additional capital, through the re-syndication of the LIHTCs, is contributed, the full impact of these developments will not be known. At the request of the Partnership, in April 2010, the property owner reduced the number of units set aside for affordable tenants to 60% and began leasing 30 units to market rate tenants. As of September 30, 2010, the property had 50 units leased out of total available units of 76, or approximately 66% physical occupancy and an additional eight leases are pending. As of December 31, 2009, the property had 31 units leased out of total available units of 76, or 41% physical occupancy. 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 DeCordova is capable of reaching stabilization

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. At this time infrastructure construction activities have been substantially completed but no construction has begun on the actual apartment buildings. In January 2010, the Partnership issued a Notice of Default through the bond trustee and began foreclosure procedures to remove the limited partner. Such notice was issued in February 2010 and the foreclosure was completed in March 2010. Through this process the Partnership has removed the limited partner which will allow the property owner to recapitalize the property by pursuing an alternative plan of financing. Specifically, the Partnership has worked with the general partner of the owner to identify available Tax Credit Assistance Program (“TCAP”) funding through application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (“TDHCA”). In March 2010, a TCAP Written Agreement with TDHCA was approved and entered into which committed TCAP funds to the project pending the completion of formal agreements. Formal agreements and funding were originally expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2010, however, the process has been delayed due to the large number of transactions involving TDHCA to be closed. During the delay, TDHCA identified certain issues in funding and compliance with other projects in which the General Partner of Residences at Weatherford is involved. As a result of these issues, in October 2010, TDHCA issued a Notice of Termination of TCAP Funding to the General Partner. Together with the General Partner, the Company has appealed the termination and will meet with the TDHCA Board in November 2010. Based on the termination notice, the Company has determined that the property fixed assets of Residences at Weatherford and the associated tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond which is eliminated in consolidation are impaired. As of September 30, 2010 the property fixed assets, consisting of land and land improvements, and the associated tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond owned by the Partnership have been written down. The resulting impairment charge of approximately $2.7 million is attributable to the BUC holders. Should the appeal related to the TCAP Funding not be successful, the Company expects to foreclose on the current ownership and would seek to liquidate all assets of Weatherford.

As a result of adopting the new accounting guidance, we 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 ASC 810 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 ASC 810 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 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 September 30, 2010. 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 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 September 30, 2010, 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 September 30, 2010, the range of effective yields on the individual bonds was 6.7% to 8.6%. 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 7.3% to 9.5% and would result in additional unrealized losses on the bond portfolio of approximately $7.6 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 September 30, 2010, all of the current bond investments except the Ashley Square, Brookstone, Cross Creek, Lost Creek, and South Park investments have been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. 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. Although valuations have generally improved during 2010, 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 May 2010, the Company acquired the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond for a 261 unit multi-family apartment complex in San Antonio, Texas known as The Villages at Lost Creek for approximately $15.9 million which represented 100% of the bond issuance. The bond par value is $18.5 million with an annual interest rate of 6.25%. The bond purchase price results in a yield to maturity of approximately 7.55% per annum. The bond matures in June 2041. The Company has determined that the entity which owns Lost Creek does not meet the definition of a VIE and, accordingly, its financial statements are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

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 ASC 360-20, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Real Estate Sales, ("ASC 360-20"), the sale and restructure does not meet the criteria for treatment as a sale. ASC 360-20 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. 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 can be accounted for as a sale (See Note 5).

Woodland Park. Woodland Park was completed in November 2008, but remains in its initial lease-up phase and 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 several 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, 2009, the property had 116 units leased out of total available units of 236, or 49% physical occupancy. As of September 30, 2010, occupancy has increased to 187 units, or 79% physical occupancy, and an additional eleven 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.

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 limited partnerships 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.

In June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby four of the MF Properties, 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.

As such, the Company will continue to consolidate the Ohio Properties as if the sale was not completed. 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 deferred 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 can be accounted for as a sale.

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 BUC holders or the general partner, but is instead included in "Unallocated deficit of Consolidated VIEs.”

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. 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. A number of different discounted cash flow ("DCF") 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 February 2009, the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by Ashley Pointe at Eagle Crest in Evansville, Indiana, Woodbridge Apartment of Bloomington III in Bloomington, Indiana, and Woodbridge Apartments of Louisville II in Louisville, Kentucky were redeemed. The properties financed by these redeemed mortgage revenue bonds were required to be consolidated into the Company’s financial statements as VIEs under the accounting guidance on consolidations. During the fourth quarter of 2008, these VIEs met the criteria for discontinued operations under the ASC on property, plant, and equipment and they were classified as such in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. In order to properly reflect the transaction under the ASC on consolidations, the Company recorded the redemption of the bonds as a sale of the properties as though they were owned by the Company. The transaction was completed for a total purchase price of $32.0 million resulting in a gain on sale for GAAP reporting to the Company of approximately $26.5 million. The redemption of the bonds did not result in a taxable gain to the Partnership. The redeemed bonds were collateral on the Company’s then existing debt financing facility. As of the closing date of the redemption, the Company placed $23.6 million on deposit with Bank of America as replacement collateral for the TOB Facility. This restricted cash was released to the Partnership in June 2009 when the existing debt financing facility was collapsed and the Company entered into a term loan agreement with Bank of America described in Note 8.

As of September 1, 2010, the Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiary ATAX TEBS I, LLC, entered into a number of agreements relating to a new 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. Effective September 1, 2010, the Company transferred the following bonds to ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity controlled by the Partnership pursuant to the TEBS Financing:

In order to meet Freddie Mac’s underwriting requirements with respect to the multifamily apartment properties financed by these bonds, the Sponsor was required to first place eight of the Bonds, with a total outstanding principal of approximately $70.5 million, into a separate custodial trust with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Custodial Trust”) that issued senior and subordinated custody receipts (“Custody Receipts”) representing beneficial interests in the Bonds held in the Custodial Trust to the Sponsor. The subordinated Custody Receipts with a total principal amount of approximately $9.5 million were retained by the Sponsor. The senior Custody Receipts, with a total principal amount of approximately $61.0 million, along with the remaining five Bonds that were not placed into the Custodial Trust, with a total principal amount of approximately $55.1 million, were then securitized by transferring these assets to the TEBS Trust sponsored by Freddie Mac in exchange for tax-exempt Class A and Class B Freddie Mac Multifamily Variable Rate Certificates (collectively, the “TEBS Certificates”) issued by Freddie Mac. The TEBS Certificates represent beneficial interests in the securitized assets held by Freddie Mac. 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 Class B TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of $20.3 million and were retained be the Sponsor. 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 September 30, 2010, the SIFMA rate was equal to 0.27% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of 2.17%.

Payment of interest on the Class A TEBS Certificates will be made from the interest payments received by Freddie Mac from the Bonds and Senior Custody Receipts held by Freddie Mac on designated interest payment dates prior to any payments of interest on the Class B TEBS Certificates held by the Sponsor. As the holder of the Class B TEBS Certificates, the Sponsor is not entitled to receive interest payments on the Class B TEBS Certificates at any particular rate, but will be entitled to all payments of principal and interest on the Bonds and Senior Custody Receipts held by Freddie Mac after payment of principal and interest due on the Class A TEBS Certificates and payment of all Facility Fees and associated expenses. Accordingly, the amount of interest paid to the Sponsor on the Class B TEBS Certificates is expected to vary over time, and could be eliminated altogether, due to fluctuations in the interest rate payable on the Class A TEBS Certificates, Facility Fees, expenses and other factors.

Freddie Mac has guaranteed payment of scheduled principal and interest payments on the Class A TEBS Certificates and also guarantees payment of the purchase price of any Class A TEBS Certificates that are tendered to Freddie Mac in accordance with their terms but which cannot be remarketed to new holders within five business days. The Sponsor has pledged the Class B TEBS Certificates to Freddie Mac to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Sponsor to Freddie Mac. The Company also entered into various subordination and intercreditor agreements with Freddie Mac under which Company has subordinated its rights and remedies to the rights of Freddie Mac, as the holder of the Bonds, with respect to the taxable loans made by the Company to the owners of properties securing certain of the bonds.

The Company reports the mortgage loans secured by certain MF Properties on its consolidated financial statements as Mortgages payable. As of September 30, 2010, outstanding mortgage loans totaled approximately $10.7 million. As of December 31, 2009, outstanding mortgage loans totaled approximately $30.1 million. In June 2010, prior to the sale of the Ohio Properties as discussed in Note 5, the Company repurchased the $12.8 million outstanding mortgage secured by the Ohio Properties at a discount. The early extinguishment of the mortgage debt resulted in a gain of approximately $439,000. In September 2010, the Company repaid the $6.5 million outstanding mortgage secured by the Greens of Pine Glen.

Beginning in 2007, the Partnership has issued BUCs from time to time to raise additional equity capital to fund investment opportunities. Through September 30, 2010, the Partnership had issued a total of 20,285,000 additional BUCs raising net proceeds of approximately $108.2 million after payment of an underwriter’s discount and other offering costs of approximately $7.8 million. In April 2010, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 was declared effective by SEC under which the Partnership may offer up to $200.0 million of additional BUCs from time to time. The most recent issuance, included above, was completed in April 2010. The Partnership issued an additional 8,280,000 BUCs through an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $5.37 per BUC pursuant to this new Registration Statement. Net proceeds realized by the Partnership from this issuance of these BUCs were approximately $41.6 million after payment of an underwriter's discount and other offering costs of approximately $2.8 million.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership paid administrative fees to AFCA 2 of approximately $246,000 and $446,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Partnership paid administrative fees to AFCA2 of approximately $69,000 and $207,000, 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 $56,000 and $156,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, these administrative fees totaled approximately $69,000 and $186,000, respectively. Additionally, in connection sale of the Ohio Properties and purchase of the new tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued as part of the transaction (See Note 5), the Ohio Properties paid accrued and deferred administrative fees to AFCA 2 totaling approximately $231,000.

An affiliate of AFCA 2, America First Properties Management Company, LLC (“Properties Management”), provides property management services for 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. Properties Management also provided management services for Ashley Pointe at Eagle Crest until the tax-exempt bond on that property was redeemed in February 2009. Properties Management earned management fees of approximately $247,000 and $730,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, for the management of these properties. The management fees paid to Properties Management during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 totaled approximately $237,000 and $735,000, respectively. 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.

In order to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rate TEBS Financing, the Sponsor entered into interest rate cap agreements with Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of New York Mellon and Royal Bank of Canada, each in an initial notional amount of approximately $31.9 million which effectively limits the interest payable by the Company on the TEBS Financing to a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum on the combined notional amounts of the interest rate cap agreements through August 2017. The interest rate cap plus the Facility Fees result in a maximum potential cost of borrowing on the TEBS Financing of 4.9% per annum. In conjunction with the TEBS Financing and the payment of the Bank of America credit facility, the $50.0 million interest rate derivative purchased on June 18, 2009, was terminated.

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 1,894 rental units. As of September 30, 2010, the Company held twelve tax-exempt bonds (secured by eleven properties) not associated with Consolidated VIEs and six tax-exempt bonds associated with Consolidated VIEs. Of these eighteen tax-exempt bonds, six are owned directly by the Partnership and twelve are owned by ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity owned and controlled by the Partnership, created to facilitate the new TEBS Financing with Freddie Mac. ATAX TEBS I, LLC and the impact of the TEBS Financing are presented in this segment.

The MF Properties segment consists of indirect equity interests in five 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 and three multifamily apartment properties which are financed by a single tax-exempt bond series of which the Series A bond is held by ATAX TEBS I, LLC and the Series B bond is held by the Partnership but for which sales accounting treatment has not been met (See Note 5). 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 or any purchase agreements do not meet the criteria in ASC 360-20 for sale treatment (Note 5) and, therefore, no sale is expected in the next twelve months. During the time the Partnership holds an interest in an MF Property, any net rental income generated by the MF Property 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 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 ASC 810-10. 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 September 30, 2010, the Company consolidated six VIE multifamily apartment properties containing a total of 1,152 rental units. At December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, the Company consolidated six VIEs containing 1,288 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.

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.

Effective January 1, 2010, we adopted ASC 810, Consolidations, which requires an entity to perform an analysis to determine whether the entity’s variable interest or interests give it a controlled financial interest in a VIE. The purpose of the analysis is to identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. See Note 3 for disclosures.

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 June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued pre-codification guidance Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This statement was codified into ASC 860. On and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities, as defined under the previous accounting standards, should be evaluated for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. The guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have an 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 will be 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 will only impact disclosures and will not affect financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

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.

The “Company” refers to the consolidated financial statements reported in this Form 10-Q which include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Partnership, its Consolidated Subsidiaries and six 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”). All significant transactions and accounts between the Partnership and the VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company generated Net Losses equal to approximately $2.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. This is compared to approximately $206,000 of Net Income reported for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and approximately $25.4 million of Net Income reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company reported net losses from continuing operations of approximately $2.4 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. This compares to approximately $205,000 income from continuing operations during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and approximately $1.3 million loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The net losses realized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, are the result of an asset impairment charge related to the Residences at Weatherford investment – see further discussion below. The principal reason for the higher net income during the nine months of 2009 were the gains realized upon the redemption of three tax-exempt mortgage bonds in February 2009. The Company generated Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) of approximately $2.6 million and $8.0 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Comparatively, CAD of approximately $2.2 million and $7.2 million was reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. See further discussion of CAD in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis on page 47.

CAD has been negatively affected over the past several quarters by higher financing costs and low levels of debt utilized by the Partnership to provide additional funds for investment in income generating assets. Because of the higher financing costs and our under-leveraged balance sheet, the Company has been exploring various options to provide more favorable debt financing. On September 1, 2010, the Company entered into a number of agreements relating to a new long-term debt financing facility provided through the securitization of thirteen tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds pursuant to Freddie Mac’s TEBS program. 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 TEBS Financing essentially provides the Company with a long-term variable-rate debt facility at interest rates reflecting prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates. Under the TEBS Financing, the Company transferred thirteen bonds, with a total outstanding principal amount of approximately $125.6 million, to ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity controlled by the Company (the “Sponsor”). In order to meet Freddie Mac’s underwriting requirements with respect to the multifamily apartment properties financed by certain of the bonds, the Sponsor was required to first place eight of the bonds, with a total outstanding principal of approximately $70.5 million, into a separate custodial trust with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Custodial Trust”) that issued senior and subordinated custody receipts (“Custody Receipts”) representing beneficial interests in the Bonds held in the Custodial Trust to the Sponsor. The subordinated Custody Receipts with a total principal amount of approximately $9.5 million were retained by the Sponsor. The senior Custody Receipts, with a total principal amount of approximately $61.0 million, along with the remaining five bonds that were not placed into the Custodial Trust, with a total principal amount of approximately $55.1 million, were then securitized by transferring these assets to Freddie Mac in exchange for tax-exempt Class A and Class B Freddie Mac Multifamily Variable Rate Certificates (collectively, the “TEBS Certificates”) issued by Freddie Mac. The TEBS Certificates represent beneficial interests in the securitized assets held by Freddie Mac.

Freddie Mac has guaranteed payment of scheduled principal and interest payments on the Class A TEBS Certificates and also guarantees payment of the purchase price of any Class A TEBS Certificates that are tendered to Freddie Mac in accordance with their terms but which cannot be remarketed to new holders within five business days. The Sponsor has pledged the Class B TEBS Certificates to Freddie Mac to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Sponsor to Freddie Mac. The Company also entered into various subordination and intercreditor agreements with Freddie Mac under which Company has subordinated its rights and remedies with respect to the taxable mortgage loans made by it to the owners of properties securing certain of the Bonds to the rights of Freddie Mac as the holder of the Bonds.

Recent credit and real estate market conditions have created significant investment opportunities which the Company intends to pursue. Beginning in 2007, the Partnership has issued Beneficial Ownership Units ("BUCs") from time to time to raise additional equity capital to fund investment opportunities. In April 2010, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 was declared effective by SEC under which the Partnership may offer up to $200.0 million of additional BUCs from time to time. In April 2010, the Partnership issued an additional 8,280,000 BUCs through an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $5.37 per BUC pursuant to this new Registration Statement. Net proceeds realized by the Partnership from the issuance of these BUCs were approximately $41.6 million after payment of an underwriter's discount and other offering costs of approximately $2.8 million.

Although there have been positive economic signs recently, challenging economic conditions continue to exist in many of the markets in which apartment properties financed by the Company are located. Negative economic conditions, high levels of unemployment, lack of job growth, low home mortgage interest rates and tax incentives provided to first time homebuyers have had a negative effect on some of the apartment properties which collateralize our tax-exempt bond investments and our MF Properties in the form of declining occupancy. Overall economic occupancy (which is adjusted to reflect rental concessions, delinquent rents and non-revenue units such as model units and employee units) of the apartment properties that the Partnership has financed with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds was approximately 84% for first nine months of 2010 and approximately 80% for the first nine months of 2009. Overall economic occupancy of the MF Properties was approximately 83% for first nine months of 2010 compared to approximately 84% during the first nine months of 2009.

In June 2010, 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 Crescent Village, Post Woods (I and II) and Willow Bend apartments in Ohio (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 bond at the time the properties become eligible for the issuance of additional low-income housing tax credits. In connection with the issuance of the new tax-exempt bonds, the Ohio properties were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit company that financed the acquisition through the issuance of the new bonds and other subordinated debt acquired and 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 Ohio properties were sold for a total purchase price of $16.2 million. 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. As such, the transaction does not meet accounting standards for treatment as a sale and the Company will continue to consolidate the Ohio Properties for accounting purposes as if they were owned. Cash received as part of the sale transaction represents a gain on the sale transaction of approximately $1.9 million (See Note 5 in the financial statements).

In October 2010, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (“TDHCA”) issued a Notice of Termination of Tax Credit Assistance Program (“TCAP”) Funding to the General Partner of Residences at Weatherford. Together with the General Partner, the Company has appealed the termination and will meet with the TDHCA Board in November 2010. Based on the termination notice, the Company determined that the property fixed assets of Residences at Weatherford and the associated tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond which is eliminated in consolidation are impaired. As of September 30, 2010 the property fixed assets, consisting of land and land improvements, and the associated tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond owned by the Partnership have been written down. The resulting impairment charge of approximately $2.7 million is attributable to the BUC holders. Should the appeal related to the TCAP Funding not be successful, the Company expects to foreclose on the current ownership and would seek to liquidate all assets of Weatherford.

There is a significant unmet demand for affordable multifamily housing in the United States. The types of revenue bonds in which the Partnership invests offer developers of affordable housing a low-cost source of construction and permanent debt financing for these types of properties. The disruptions in domestic and international financial markets, and the resulting restrictions on the availability of debt financing that have prevailed since 2008, have, in our view, created potential investment opportunities for the Partnership. Many participants in the multifamily housing debt sector have either reduced their participation in the market or are being forced to liquidate some or all of their existing portfolio investments in order to meet their liquidity needs. We believe this is creating opportunities to acquire existing tax-exempt bonds from distressed holders at attractive yields. The Partnership continues to evaluate potential investments in bonds which are available on the secondary market in addition to opportunities to acquire newly issued bonds.

Current credit and real estate market conditions also create opportunities to acquire quality MF Properties from distressed owners and lenders. The ability of the Partnership to restructure existing debt, together with the ability to improve the operations of the apartment properties through our affiliated property management company, can position these MF Properties for an eventual financing with tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds meeting our investment criteria and that will be supported by a valuable and well-run apartment property. We believe we can selectively acquire MF Properties, restructure debt and improve operations in order to create value to our shareholders in the form of a strong tax-exempt bond investment.

The Partnership’s purpose is to acquire and hold as long-term investments a portfolio of federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential apartments. At September 30, 2010, the Partnership held 20 tax-exempt mortgage bonds secured by 20 properties of which thirteen bonds are owned by ATAX TEBS I, LLC. The 20 properties securing the bonds contain a total of 3,408 rental units. Six of the entities that own the apartment properties financed by six of the Partnership’s tax exempt bonds were deemed to be Consolidated VIEs of the Partnership at September 30, 2010 and, as a result, these bonds are eliminated in consolidation on the Company’s financial statements. Additionally, two bonds secured by the three Ohio Properties subject to a sales agreement (See Note 5 and below) are eliminated in consolidation on the Company’s financial statements. At September 30, 2009, the Partnership held 16 tax-exempt bonds secured by 15 properties containing a total of 2,617 rental units. Six of the entities that owned apartment properties financed by six of the Partnership’s tax exempt bonds at September 30, 2009 were VIEs of the Partnership and, as a result, these bonds were eliminated in consolidated on the Company’s financial statements.

To facilitate its investment strategy of acquiring additional tax exempt mortgage bonds secured by multifamily apartment properties, the Partnership may acquire ownership positions in MF Properties in order to ultimately restructure the property ownership through a sale of the MF Properties. The Partnership expects each of these MF Properties to eventually be sold to a not-for-profit entity or in connection with a syndication of LIHTCs under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Partnership expects to acquire tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued to provide debt financing for these properties at the time the property ownership is restructured. The Partnership expects to provide the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds to the new property owners as part of the restructuring. Such restructurings will generally be expected to be initiated within 36 months of the Partnership’s investment in an MF Property and will often coincide with the expiration of the compliance period relating to LIHTCs previously issued with respect to the MF Property.

In June 2010, the Partnership completed the first planned restructuring by investing in two Ohio tax exempt bonds, collateralized by three existing Ohio MF properties, with a total of 362 rental units. The Company acquired 100% of the Series A bond with a par value of $14.7 million and the Series B bond with a par value of $3.6 million issued by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency as part of a plan of financing for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Ohio Properties. 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. As such, the transaction does not meet accounting standards for treatment as a sale and the Company will continue to consolidate the Ohio Properties as if they were owned and these bonds will be eliminated upon consolidation. Cash received as part of the sale transaction represents a deferred gain on the sale transaction of approximately $1.9 million (See Note 5).

(1) Economic occupancy is presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, 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. Actual occupancy is a point in time measure while economic occupancy is a measurement over the period presented, therefore, economic occupancy for a period may exceed the actual occupancy at any point in time.
(2) This property is still under construction as of Septebmer 30, 2010, and therefore has no occupancy data.
(3) Previous period occupancy numbers are not available, as this is a new investment.
(4) Construction on these properties has been completed and the properties are in a lease up and stabilization period. As of September 30, 2010, Residences at Decordova has leased 50 of a total of 76 units and Woodland Park has leased 187 of a total of 236 units.

Woodland Park. Woodland Park is located in Topeka, Kansas and was completed in November 2008, but remains in its initial lease-up phase and 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 several 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, 2009, the property had 116 units leased out of total available units of 236, or 49% physical occupancy. As of September 30, 2010, occupancy has increased to 187 units, or 79% physical occupancy, and an additional eleven 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. In the first nine months of 2010, Net Operating Income was $160,000 on net revenue of approximately $743,000.

Residences of DeCordova – This property is a senior (55+) affordable housing project located in Granbury, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Construction was completed in April 2009 and lease-up continues, however, the property 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. In January 2010, the Partnership issued a Notice of Default through the bond trustee to begin foreclosure procedures in order to remove the limited partner. Such notice was issued in February 2010 and the foreclosure was completed in March 2010. Through this process the Partnership has removed the limited partner which will allow the property owner to “re-syndicate” the low income housing tax credits (“LIHTCs”) to a new limited partner thereby providing additional capital to the project. The Partnership believes that, if this can be accomplished, such new equity would be sufficient to allow for the current bonds to remain in place and operations be funded through an extended lease-up period. Until such time as additional capital, through the re-syndication of the LIHTCs, is contributed, the full impact of these developments will not be known. At the request of the Partnership, in April 2010, the property owner reduced the number of units set aside for affordable tenants to 60% and began leasing 30 units to market rate tenants. As of September 30, 2010, the property had 50 units leased out of total available units of 76, or approximately 66% physical occupancy and an additional eight leases are pending. As of December 31, 2009, the property had 31 units leased out of total available units of 76, or 41% physical occupancy. 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 DeCordova is capable of reaching stabilization. In the first nine months of 2010, DeCordova realized a Net Operating Loss of $134,000 on net revenue of approximately $225,000.

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. At this time infrastructure construction activities have been substantially completed but no construction has begun on the actual apartment buildings. In January 2010, the Partnership issued a Notice of Default through the bond trustee and began foreclosure procedures to remove the limited partner. Such notice was issued in February 2010 and the foreclosure was completed in March 2010. Through this process the Partnership has removed the limited partner which will allow the property owner to recapitalize the property by pursuing an alternative plan of financing. Specifically, the Partnership has worked with the general partner of the owner to identify available Tax Credit Assistance Program (“TCAP”) funding through application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (“TDHCA”). In March 2010 a TCAP Written Agreement with TDHCA was approved and entered into which committed TCAP funds to the project pending the completion of formal agreements. Formal agreements and funding were originally expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2010, however, the process was delayed due to the large number of transactions involving TDHCA to be closed. During the delay TDHCA identified certain issues in funding and compliance with other projects in which the General Partner of Residences at Weatherford is involved. As a result of these issues, in October 2010, TDHCA issued a Notice of Termination of TCAP Funding to the General Partner. Together with the General Partner, the Company has appealed the termination and will meet with the TDHCA Board in November 2010. Based on the termination notice, the Company has determined that the property fixed assets of Residences at Weatherford and the associated tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond which is eliminated in consolidation are impaired. As of September 30, 2010 the property fixed assets, consisting of land and land improvements, and the associated tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond owned by the Partnership have been written down. The resulting impairment charge of approximately $2.7 million is attributable to the BUC holders. Should the appeal related to the TCAP Funding not be successful, the Company expects to foreclose on the current ownership and would seek to liquidate all assets of Weatherford.

Property revenues. Property revenues decreased mainly as a result of Ashley Square and Cross Creek Apartments no longer being reported as Consolidated VIEs in 2010. Accordingly, no revenues from the operation of these properties were included in property revenues reported by the Company in the third quarter of 2010 compared to approximately $379,000 of property revenues from these properties that were reported in the third quarter of 2009. The decline in property revenue due to the deconsolidation of Ashley Square and Cross Creek was partially offset by an increase of approximately $89,000 in property revenues generated by Residences at DeCordova which became a Consolidated VIE on March 1, 2010. Increased economic occupancy in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 resulted in higher revenues for the Consolidated VIEs which accounted for the remaining change. The MF Properties averaged $617 per unit in monthly rent in 2010 as compared with $607 per unit in 2009. Economic occupancy at the MF Properties was 83% during the third quarter of 2010 and 2009. The Consolidated VIEs averaged $572 per unit in monthly rent in 2010 as compared to $535 per unit in 2009. Economic occupancy of the Consolidated VIEs for the quarter was 73% in 2010 and 68% in 2009.

Mortgage revenue bond investment income. Mortgage revenue bond investment income increased during the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 due to several offsetting factors. The deconsolidation of Ashley Square and Cross Creek Apartments increased investment income by approximately $229,000. These properties are no longer treated as a Consolidated VIEs as of January 1, 2010, therefore the interest paid to the Company on the tax-exempt bonds is no longer eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Company realized additional tax-exempt interest income of approximately $920,000 due to the acquisition of three tax-exempt bonds, South Park Ranch Apartments, Brookstone Apartments and Villages at Lost Creek that were not owned during the third quarter of 2009. These increases were offset by interest income from Residences at DeCordova and Residences at Weatherford which became Consolidated VIEs on March 1, 2010. The interest income related to the bonds is now eliminated in consolidation. The elimination of DeCordova and Weatherford interest in the quarter totaled approximately $143,000.

Real estate operating expenses. Real estate operating expenses associated with the MF Properties and the Consolidated VIEs is 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 in 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 as rental revenues. When comparing the third quarter of 2010 to the third quarter of 2009, the decrease in real estate operating expenses was the result of offsetting factors. The deconsolidation of Ashley Square and Cross Creek Apartments reduced real estate operating expenses by approximately $391,000. This decrease was offset by an approximate $130,000 increase in expenses due to the consolidation of DeCordova and Weatherford. The remaining decrease is related to reductions of variable property expenses.

Asset impairment charge - Weatherford. In October 2010, TDHCA issued a Notice of Termination of TCAP Funding to the General Partner of Residences at Weatherford (See Note 5 and discussion above). Based on the termination notice, the Company has determined that the property fixed assets of Residences at Weatherford and the associated tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond which is eliminated in consolidation are impaired. As of September 30, 2010 the property fixed assets, consisting of land and land improvements, and the associated tax-exempt mortgage revenue bond owned by the Partnership have been written down. The resulting impairment charge of approximately $2.7 million is attributable to the BUC holders. Should the appeal related to the TCAP Funding not be successful, the Company expects to foreclose on the current ownership and would seek to liquidate all assets of Weatherford.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization consists primarily of depreciation associated with the apartment properties of the Consolidated VIEs and the MF Properties, amortization associated with in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties and deferred finance cost amortization written off upon retirement of the BOA Credit Facility in addition to new amortization of finance costs related to the closing of the TEBS Credit Facility. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense from the third quarter of 2009 to the third quarter of 2010 is attributable to a depreciation expense increase of approximately $63,000 due the consolidation of DeCordova and an increase of approximately $179,000 in deferred financing cost amortization, This was offset by a decrease of approximately $36,000 in in-place lease amortization which are fully amortized, and an approximate $179,000 decrease due to deconsolidation of Ashley Square and Cross Creek Apartments.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased approximately $133,000 during the third quarter 2010 compared to the third quarter 2009. The increase was due to offsetting factors. The Company’s borrowing cost decreased from approximately 4.0% per annum in 2009 to approximately 3.8% per annum in 2010 resulting in an approximate decrease of $39,000 in the quarter. Offsetting this was the approximate $205,000 increase which was the result of the mark to market adjustment of the Company’s derivatives. 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.

Property revenues. Property revenues decreased mainly as a result of Ashley Square and Cross Creek Apartments no longer being reported as Consolidated VIEs in 2010. Accordingly, no revenues from the operation of these properties were included in property revenues reported by the Company in the first nine months of 2010 compared to approximately $1.0 million of property revenues from these properties that were reported in the first nine months of 2009. The decline in property revenue due to the deconsolidation of Ashley Square and Cross Creek was partially offset by an increase of approximately $320,000 in property revenues generated by DeCordova which became a VIE on March 1, 2010 and the Greens of Pine Glen which was owned for the entire nine months of 2010 compared to seven months in 2009. The remaining difference is due to changes in economic occupancy and concessions. The MF Properties averaged $608 per unit in monthly rent in 2010 as compared with $593 per unit in 2009. Economic occupancy at the MF Properties was 83% during the first nine months of 2010 as compared to 84% in the first nine months of 2009. The Consolidated VIEs averaged $574 per unit in monthly rent in 2010 as compared to a $560 per unit average monthly rent for 2009. Economic occupancy of the Consolidated VIEs was 73% in the first nine months of 2010 and 72% in the first nine months of 2009.

Mortgage revenue bond investment income. Mortgage revenue bond investment income increased during the first nine months of 2010 compared to the first nine months of 2009 due to several offsetting factors. The deconsolidation of Ashley Square and Cross Creek Apartments increased investment income by approximately $746,000. These properties are no longer treated as a Consolidated VIEs as of January 1, 2010, therefore the interest paid to the Company on the tax-exempt bonds is no longer eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Company realized additional tax-exempt interest income of approximately $1.8 million due to the acquisition of three tax-exempt bonds, South Park Ranch Apartments, Brookstone Apartments and Villages at Lost Creek that were not owned during some or all of 2009. These increases were offset by two items. First, in March 2010 DeCordova and Weatherford became Consolidated VIEs, therefore, the interest income related to the bonds is now eliminated in consolidation. The elimination of DeCordova and Weatherford interest in the seven months totaled approximately $335,000. Second, in 2009 interest income of approximately $164,000 was recorded related to the Oak Grove and Prairiebrook bonds which were not held in 2010.

Real estate operating expenses. Real estate operating expenses associated with the MF Properties and the Consolidated VIEs is 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 in 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 as rental revenues. When comparing the first nine months of 2010 to the first nine months of 2009, a decrease of approximately $922,000 in real estate operating expenses is the result of the Ashley Square and Cross Creek Apartments deconsolidation and approximately $198,000 is attributable to decreases in MF Properties acquisition related expenses. These decreases are offset by approximately $295,000 of expenses due to the DeCordova and Weatherford consolidation, approximately $231,000 of administrative fees, and approximately $554,000 acquisition costs paid by the Ohio Properties. The acquisition costs were incurred by the Ohio Property owners represents expenses of non-controlling interests. In addition, reductions in VIE related real estate taxes and insurance claim reimbursements supports the remaining decrease.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization consists primarily of depreciation associated with the apartment properties of the Consolidated VIEs and the MF Properties, amortization associated with in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties and deferred finance cost amortization written off upon retirement of the BOA Credit Facility in addition to new amortization of finance costs related to the closing of the TEBS Credit Facility. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense from the first nine months of 2009 to the first nine months of 2010 is attributable to a decrease of approximately $65,000 in deferred financing cost amortization, a decrease of approximately $648,000 in in-place lease amortization, and an approximate $392,000 decrease due to deconsolidation of Ashley Square and Cross Creek Apartments. These were offset by a depreciation expense increase of approximately $146,000 due the consolidation of DeCordova and an increase of approximately $177,000 due to depreciation on assets added to the existing MF Properties and Consolidated VIEs.

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense during the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the first nine months of 2009 was due to offsetting factors. The Company’s borrowing cost increased from approximately 3.3% per annum in 2009 to approximately 4.0% per annum in 2010 resulting in an approximate increase of $461,000 in 2010. Partially offsetting this increase was an approximate $408,000 decrease resulting from the decrease in the average principal of outstanding debt. Additionally, an approximate $334,000 decrease was the result of the mark to market adjustment of the Company’s derivatives. 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.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased mainly due to increased professional fees and administration fees. Professional fees increased approximately $172,000 due mainly to accounting, legal and other professional fees associated with the process the Company utilized to respond to a comment letter received by the Company from the Securities Exchange Commission in the first quarter of 2010. Additional professional fees were also incurred for accounting consultation regarding the implementation of new accounting standards in 2010. Administration fees paid to AFCA 2 increased approximately $240,000 as the Company has a higher level of invested assets and taxable loans in 2010. Offsetting these expenses was a reduction in salary expense due to one-time bonuses paid in 2009.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization consists primarily of depreciation associated with the MF Properties, amortization associated with in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties and deferred finance cost amortization written off upon retirement of the BOA Credit Facility in addition to new amortization of finance costs related to the closing of the TEBS Credit Facility. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense from the third quarter of 2009 to the third quarter of 2010 is attributable to an increase of approximately $179,000 in deferred financing cost amortization and a decrease of approximately $36,000 in in-place lease amortization.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased approximately $133,000 during the third quarter 2010 compared to the third quarter 2009. The increase was due to offsetting factors. The Company’s borrowing cost decreased from approximately 4.0% per annum in 2009 to approximately 3.8% per annum in 2010 resulting in an approximate decrease of $39,000. Offsetting this was a decrease of approximately $205,000 as the result of the mark to market adjustment of the Company’s derivatives.

Mortgage revenue bond investment income. The decrease in mortgage revenue bond investment income during the first nine months of 2010 compared to 2009 is mainly the result of the redemption of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds secured by Ashley Pointe at Eagle Crest, Woodbridge Apartment of Bloomington III and Woodbridge Apartments of Louisville II in February 2009. These bond redemptions resulted in the recognition of $2.5 million of contingent and deferred interest plus approximately $313,000 of regular bond interest in 2009. In addition, approximately $164,000 of interest income was recorded in 2009 related to the Oak Grove and Prairiebrook bonds which were not held in 2010. These decreases were partially offset by additional tax-exempt interest payments of approximately $1.8 million received by the Partnership during the first nine months of 2010 due to the acquisition of new tax-exempt bonds on Cross Creek Apartments, South Park Ranch Apartments, Brookstone Apartments, and Villages at Lost Creek.

Real estate operating expenses. Real estate operating expenses associated with the MF Properties 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. Real estate operating expenses increased as a result of approximately $231,000 in additional administrative fees and approximately $544,000 in acquisition costs paid by the Ohio Properties during the first nine months of 2010. The acquisition costs incurred in 2010 by the Ohio Property owners represent expenses of non-controlling interests. These increases were offset decreases in MF Properties 2009 acquisition related expenses of approximately $198,000 to that did not recur in 2010. The remaining difference is directly related to increased variable expenses.

Loan loss reserve expense. The Partnership periodically, or as changes in circumstances or operations dictate, evaluates its investments for impairment. The value of the underlying property assets is ultimately the largest 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. Such evaluation is based on cash flow and discounted cash flow models. In June 2009, the Company evaluation determined that a portion of the Partnership taxable property loans were potentially impaired and that additional loan loss reserves should be recorded. As a result, $220,000 of additional loan loss reserves related to the taxable loans between various properties and the Partnership was recorded in 2009.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization consists primarily of depreciation associated with the MF Properties, amortization associated with in-place lease intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition of MF Properties and deferred finance cost amortization written off upon retirement of the BOA Credit Facility in addition to new amortization of finance costs related to the closing of the TEBS Credit Facility. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense from the first nine months of 2009 to the first nine months of 2010 is attributable to a decrease of approximately $65,000 in deferred financing cost amortization and a decrease of approximately $648,000 in in-place lease amortization which are fully amortized. The remaining difference is directly related to an increase in depreciation expense on the existing MF Properties due to newly capitalized assets.

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense was due to offsetting factors. The Company’s borrowing cost increased from approximately 3.3% per annum in 2009 to approximately 4.0% per annum in 2010 resulting in an approximate increase of $461,000. Offsetting this increase were decreases of approximately $408,000 resulting from a lower average outstanding debt principal and approximately $334,000 as a result of the mark to market adjustment of the Company’s derivatives. 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.

Tax-exempt interest earned on the mortgage revenue bonds, including those financing properties held by Consolidated VIEs, represents the Partnership's principal source of cash flow. The Partnership may also receive interest payments on its taxable mortgage loans, earnings on temporary investments and cash distributions from equity interests held in MF Properties. Tax-exempt interest is primarily comprised of base interest payments received on the Partnership’s tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. Certain of the tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds may also generate payments of contingent interest to the Partnership from time to time when the underlying apartment properties generate excess cash flow. Because base interest on each of the Partnership’s mortgage revenue bonds is fixed, the Partnership’s cash receipts tend to be fairly constant period to period unless the Partnership acquires or disposes of its investments in tax-exempt bonds. Changes in the economic performance of the properties financed by tax-exempt bonds with a contingent interest provision will affect the amount of contingent interest, if any, paid to the Partnership. Similarly, the economic performance of MF Properties will affect the amount of cash distributions, if any, received by the Partnership from its ownership of these properties. The economic performance of a multifamily apartment property depends 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 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. The primary uses of cash by apartment properties are the payment of operating expenses and debt service.

Other sources of cash available to the Partnership include debt financing and the sale of additional BUCs. As of September 1, 2010, the Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiary ATAX TEBS I, LLC, entered into a number of agreements relating to a new long-term debt financing facility provided through the securitization of thirteen tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds pursuant to Freddie Mac’s TEBS program. 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 TEBS Financing essentially provides the Company with a long-term variable-rate debt facility at interest rates reflecting prevailing short-term tax-exempt rates. Under the TEBS Financing, the Company transferred the thirteen bonds, with a total outstanding principal amount of approximately $125.6 million, to ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a special purpose entity controlled by the Company (the “Sponsor”). In order to meet Freddie Mac’s underwriting requirements with respect to the multifamily apartment properties financed by certain of the Bonds, the Sponsor was required to first place eight of the Bonds, with a total outstanding principal of approximately $70.5 million, into a separate custodial trust with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Custodial Trust”) that issued senior and subordinated custody receipts (“Custody Receipts”) representing beneficial interests in the Bonds held in the Custodial Trust to the Sponsor. The subordinated Custody Receipts with a total principal amount of approximately $9.5 million were retained by the Sponsor. The senior Custody Receipts, with a total principal amount of approximately $61.0 million, along with the remaining five Bonds that were not placed into the Custodial Trust, with a total principal amount of approximately $55.1 million, were then securitized by transferring these assets to Freddie Mac in exchange for tax-exempt Class A and Class B Freddie Mac Multifamily Variable Rate Certificates (collectively, the “TEBS Certificates”) issued by Freddie Mac. The TEBS Certificates represent beneficial interests in the securitized assets held by Freddie Mac.

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 Class B TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of $20.3 million and were retained be the Sponsor. 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 SIFMA floating index rate plus certain 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 September 30, 2010, the SIFMA rate was equal to 0.27% resulting in a total cost of borrowing of 2.17%.

Freddie Mac has guaranteed payment of scheduled principal and interest payments on the Class A TEBS Certificates and also guarantees payment of the purchase price of any Class A TEBS Certificates that are tendered to Freddie Mac in accordance with their terms but which cannot be remarketed to new holders within five business days. The Sponsor has pledged the Class B TEBS Certificates to Freddie Mac to secure certain reimbursement obligations of the Sponsor to Freddie Mac. The Company also entered into various subordination and intercreditor agreements with Freddie Mac under which Company has subordinated its rights and remedies with respect to the taxable mortgage loans made by it to the owners of properties securing certain of the Bonds to the rights of Freddie Mac as the holder of the Bonds.

The Partnership is authorized to issue additional BUCs to raise additional equity capital to fund investment opportunities. In April 2010, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 was declared effective by SEC under which the Partnership may offer up to $200.0 million of additional BUCs from time to time. In April 2010, the Partnership issued an additional 8,280,000 BUCs through an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $5.37 per BUC pursuant to this new Registration Statement. Net proceeds realized by the Partnership from this issuance of these BUCs were approximately $41.7 million after payment of an underwriter's discount and other offering costs of approximately $2.8 million.

The Partnership’s principal uses of cash are the payment of distributions to BUC holders, interest and principal 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. Distributions to BUC holders depend primarily upon the amount of base and contingent interest received on the Company’s tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and cash received from other investments, the amount of borrowings and the effective interest rate of these borrowings, and the amount of the Partnership’s undistributed cash. Recently, cash generated by the Partnership’s investments has not been sufficient to fund such expenditures and distributions without utilizing cash reserves to supplement the deficit. See discussion below regarding “Cash Available for Distribution.” The Partnership continued distributions during the quarter at an annual rate of $0.50 per BUC. Although CAD generated in recent quarters has not been sufficient to fully fund distributions at this rate without utilizing the Partnership’s cash reserves to supplement the deficit, the General Partner believes that distributions at the current level are sustainable. However, if the Partnership is unable generate CAD at levels in excess of the annual distribution; such distribution amount may need to be reduced.

The Consolidated VIEs’ and MF Properties' primary source of cash is net rental revenues generated by their real estate investments. 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 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.

On a consolidated basis, cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2010 as compared to first nine months of 2009, decreased approximately $6.1 million due to changes in working capital components. Cash from investing activities decreased approximately $56.0 million for first nine months of 2010 as compared to 2009. The largest change in investing activities relates to $32.0 million in cash proceeds realized in the first quarter of 2009 from the early redemption of the bonds on Ashley Pointe, Woodbridge – Louisville and Woodbridge – Bloomington. No proceeds from the sale or redemption of investments were realized in 2010. Restricted cash increased approximately $19.8 million in 2010 as compared to a decrease in restricted cash in 2009 of approximately $7.0 million resulting in an increase in cash utilized of approximately $26.8 million. Net cash utilized for the acquisition of new investments in bonds, property partnerships, and other assets totaled approximately $17.0 million in 2010 compared to approximately $22.5 million in 2009 resulting in a decrease in cash utilized for investments of approximately $5.5 million. Cash from financing activities increased approximately $73.2 million for the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the first nine months of 2009. Cash provided by debt financings increased approximately $45.8 million in 2010 as compared to 2009. Net cash provided by the sale of additional BUCs increased $25.5 million in 2010 over 2009. Principal payments on debt declined approximately $9.5 million in 2010 as compared to 2009. Cash used for interest rate derivatives and financing costs increased approximately $5.3 million and cash used for distributions increased approximately $2.2 million accounting for the remaining change in cash from financing activities. The main transactions driving the changes in financing cash flows were the TEBS Financing closed in September and the sale of additional BUCs closed in April.

Management utilizes a calculation of Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) as a means to determine the Partnership’s ability to make distributions to BUC holders. The general partner believes that CAD provides relevant information about its operations and is necessary along with net income for understanding its operating results. To calculate CAD, amortization expense related to debt financing costs and bond reissuance costs, Tier 2 income due to the general partner as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership, interest rate derivative expense or income, provision for loan losses, impairments on bonds and losses related to VIEs including depreciation expense are added back to the Company’s net income (loss) as computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and the Company’s computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies. Although the Company considers CAD to be a useful measure of its operating performance, CAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities which are calculated in accordance with GAAP.

During June 2010, the Company completed a sales transaction whereby four of the MF Properties, the Ohio Properties, were sold to three new ownership entities controlled by an unaffiliated not-for-profit entity (See Note 5). As part of the transaction, 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 new owners did not contribute 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 ASC 360-20, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Real Estate Sales, ("ASC 360-20"), the sale and restructure does not meet the criteria for treatment as a sale. As such, the Company will continue to consolidate the Ohio Properties as if the sale was not completed. 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 deferred 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 can be accounted for as a sale. As the deferred gain on the transaction represents cash paid to the Company and no on-going legal obligations related to the Ohio Properties or potential obligation to repay any amounts exists, the deferred gain is CAD and is shown as an adjustment in the CAD Calculation below. This gain meets the definition of Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest (Tier 2 income) and was therefore distributed 75% to the BUC holders and 25% to the General Partner.

(1) As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Net Interest Income representing contingent interest and Net Residual Proceeds representing contingent interest (Tier 2 income) will be distributed 75% to the BUC holders and 25% to the General Partner. This adjustment represents the 25% of Tier 2 income due to the General Partner. For the second quarter of 2010, the deferred gain on the sale of the Ohio partnerships generated approximately $1.8 million and contingent interest generated approximately $10K of Tier II income. For 2009, the Tier 2 income distributable to the General Partner was generated by the early redemption of Woodbridge - Bloomington and Woodbridge - Louisville bond investments, the sale of Oak Grove and from Fairmont Oaks and Lake Forest Apartments.

In order to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rate TEBS Financing, the Partnership entered into interest rate cap agreements with Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of New York Mellon and Royal Bank of Canada, each in an initial notional amount of approximately $31.9 million which effectively limits the interest payable by the Company on the TEBS Financing to a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum on the combined notional amounts of the interest rate cap agreements through August 2017. The interest rate cap plus the Facility Fees result in a maximum potential cost of borrowing on the TEBS Financing of 4.9% per annum. In conjunction with the TEBS Financing and the payment of the Bank of America credit facility, the $50.0 million interest rate derivative purchased on June 18, 2009, was terminated.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Partnership's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Partnership's current disclosure controls and procedures are effective, providing them with material information relating to the Partnership as required to be disclosed in the reports the Partnership files or submits under the Exchange Act on a timely basis.
