NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. The consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at
June 30, 2000, and results of operations for all periods presented have
been made. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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.
2. Stock Repurchase Plan
In connection with the Partnership's plan to repurchase up to $2,000,000 of
the Partnership's Beneficial Unit Certificates (BUCs), the Partnership
purchased and cancelled, in open market transactions, 138,300 BUCs at an
aggregate cost of $1,257,485 during the six months ended June 30, 2000
(97,300 BUCs at an aggregate cost of $901,949 for the quarter ended June
30, 2000).

5. Transactions with Related Parties
Substantially all of the Partnership's general and administrative expenses are
paid by AFCA 4 or an affiliate and reimbursed by the Partnership. The amount
of general and administrative expenses reimbursed to AFCA 4 for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2000, was $212,496 and 445,065 respectively.
The reimbursed expenses are presented on a cash basis and do not reflect
accruals made at quarter end.
Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, AFCA 4 is entitled to an
administrative fee from the Partnership based on the original amount of the
mortgage bonds which were foreclosed on by the Partnership and the purchase
price of any additional properties acquired by the Partnership. The amount of
such fees paid to AFCA 4 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000,
was $193,450 and $386,900, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, AFCA 4 is entitled
to receive a property acquisition fee from the Partnership in connection with
the identification, evaluation and acquisition of additional properties and
the financing thereof. There were no acquisition fees incurred during the
quarter or six months ended June 30, 2000.
An affiliate of AFCA 4 was retained to provide property management services
for the multifamily properties owned by the Partnership. The fees for
services provided represent the lower of (i) costs incurred in providing
management of the property, or (ii) customary fees for such services
determined on a competitive basis and amounted to $251,908 and $498,805 for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's short-term liquidity needs include the payment of operating
expenses, current debt service requirements, distributions to BUC holders and
the acquisition of Partnership BUCs. The Partnership's long-term liquidity
requirements consist of funding acquisitions and repayment of maturing secured
debt. While the Partnership anticipates that cash-on-hand and cash provided
by operating and investing activities will be sufficient to meet most of its
short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including distributions to
BUC holders, the Partnership does anticipate that future property acquisitions
will be financed by the assumption of existing taxable mortgage debt on
properties to be acquired, the origination of new debt or the issuance of
tax-exempt mortgage bonds. The Partnership currently does not anticipate
entering into short-term and long-term arrangements for purposes of paying
expenses and making distributions; however, the Partnership has the authority
to enter into such arrangements. The Partnership is not authorized to issue
additional BUCs to meet short-term or long-term liquidity requirements.
<PAGE> - 9 -
At June 30, 2000, the Partnership had debt obligations under nine financing
arrangements with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of approximately
$68,800,000. Such debt obligations consisted of seven tax-exempt mortgage
bonds with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of approximately
$50,400,000 and two mortgage notes payable with a combined principal amount
outstanding of approximately $18,400,000. Five of the debt obligations which
total approximately $32,400,000 require monthly, semiannual or annual payments
of principal and interest while four bonds with an aggregate principal amount
of approximately $36,400,000 require only semiannual payments of interest.
Maturity dates range from July 2004 to March 2022. Approximately 84% of the
Partnership's financing arrangements are fixed-rate obligations with a
weighted average interest rate of 5.99% at June 30, 2000. The remaining 16%
of the financing arrangements have variable rates which averaged 4.63% for the
six months ended June 30, 2000. Each financing arrangement is a
"non-recourse" obligation that is secured by a first mortgage or deed of trust
on one or two of the Partnership's apartment complexes. Principal and
interest payments on debt obligations are made solely from the net cash flow
and/or net sale or refinancing proceeds of the mortgaged properties.
In connection with the Partnership's plan to repurchase up to $2,000,000 of
the Partnership's Beneficial Unit Certificates (BUCs), The Partnership
purchased and cancelled, in open market transactions, through June 30, 2000,
138,300 BUCs at an aggregate cost of $1,257,485 and an average cost of $9.09
per unit.
Cash distributions paid or accrued to BUC holders for the periods
shown were as follows:

undistributed cash.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Quarters Ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Rental income increased $459,419 (approximately 9%) for the quarter ended June
30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. Approximately $271,000 of such
increase is due to the acquisition of Oakwell Farms Apartments in April 1999.
The remaining $188,000 increase is the net result of increased rental income
of $265,000 earned by 10 of the Partnership's other 13 properties which was
partially offset by decreased rental income of $77,000 earned by three
properties. Rental income increases for the 10 properties ranged from 1.7% to
21.4% and averaged 8.2% while rental income decreases for the three properties
averaged 5.4%. Average occupancy for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, was 97%
compared to 96% for the comparable period of 1999.
Interest income increased $110,078 (approximately 102%) for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999 due to an increase in the
average undistributed cash balance and an increase in the average interest
rate earned on such balances.
<PAGE> - 10 -
Real estate operating expenses increased $264,235 (approximately 11%) for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This
increase is attributable to: (i) an increase of $216,000 resulting from the
acquisition of Oakwell Farms Apartments in April 1999; (ii) an increase of
$41,000 for Coral Point Apartments due to higher repairs and maintenance
expenses, property improvements and salaries and related expenses; (iii) an
increase of $36,000 for The Hunt Apartments primarily due to estimated taxes,
higher salaries and related expenses and increased repairs and maintenance
expenses and property improvements and (iv) net decreases of $29,000 for the
Partnership's other properties.
Depreciation expense increased $46,326 (approximately 4%) for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is
primarily attributable to the acquisition of Oakwell Farms Apartments in April
1999.
Interest expense increased $100,497 (approximately 11%) for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is
primarily due to: (i) interest of $62,000 incurred on the mortgage note
payable on Oakwell Farms Apartments which was acquired in April 1999; (ii) an
increase of $46,000 on the variable-rate borrowings for The Hunt Apartments
and Greenbriar Apartments due to an increase in the average interest rate on
such financings partially offset by (iii) a decrease of $8,000 on other
borrowings due to the slight amortization of principal balances on such
borrowings.
General and administrative expenses decreased less than 1% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This decrease is
due to: (i) a $24,000 decrease in salaries and related expenses which was
virtually offset by (ii) a $9,000 increase in administration fees resulting
from the acquisition of Oakwell Farms Apartments in April 1999, and (iii)
slight increases in other general and administrative expenses totaling $14,000.
Funds from operations, (FFO) which, for the Partnership, consists of net
income plus depreciation of real estate assets, increased approximately
$206,000 or 13% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same
period in 1999. Funds from operations was $1,769,638 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $1,563,780 for the same period of 1999. FFO is not
defined by generally accepted accounting principles nor should it be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of operating
performance or to net cash provided by operating, investing and financing
activities as a measure of liquidity. The Partnership believes that FFO is
helpful in understanding the Partnership's results of operations in that such
calculation reflects the Partnership's ability to support interest payments
and general operating expenses before the impact of certain activities such as
changes in other assets and accounts payable. The Partnership's calculation
of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other
entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other entities.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Rental income increased $1,435,165 (approximately 15%) for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. Approximately
$988,000 of such increase is due to the acquisition of Oakwell Farms
Apartments in April 1999. The remaining $447,000 increase is the net result
of increased rental income of $460,000 earned by 11 of the Partnership's other
13 properties which was partially offset by decreased rental income of $13,000
earned by two properties. Rental income increases for the 11 properties
ranged from .1% to 13.8% and averaged 6.1% while rental income decreases for
the two properties averaged 1.6%. Average occupancy for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, was 97% compared to 96% for the comparable period of 1999.
Interest income increased $208,639 (approximately 75%) for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999 due to an increase in
the average undistributed cash balance and an increase in the average interest
rate earned on such balances.

Real estate operating expenses increased $793,030 (approximately 18%) for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This
increase is attributable to: (i) an increase of $536,000 due to the
acquisition of Oakwell Farms Apartments in April 1999; (ii) $58,000 increase
for The Hunt Apartments due primarily to estimated taxes, higher salaries and
related expenses, and increased repairs and maintenance expenses and property
improvements; (iii) increases of approximately $44,000 each for Jackson Park
Place and Coral Point Apartments due primarily to higher repairs and
maintenance expenses, property improvements, salaries and related expenses and
taxes and (iv) net increases of approximately $111,000 for the Partnership's
other properties.
Depreciation expense increased $195,238 (approximately 10%) for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is
primarily attributable to the acquisition of Oakwell Farms Apartments in April
1999.
Interest expense increased $341,977 (approximately 20%) for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is
primarily due to: (i) an increase of $289,000 due to the acquistion of Oakwell
Apartments in April 1999 and (ii) an increase of $65,000 on the variable-rate
borrowings of The Hunt Apartments and Greenbriar Apartments due to an increase
in the average interest rate on such borrowings partially offset by (iii) a
decrease of $12,000 on other borrowings due to the slight amortization of
principal balances on such borrowings.
General and administrative expenses decreased $47,719 (approximately 6%) for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. This
decrease is primarily due to; (i) a decrease of $76,000 in salaries and
related expenses, and (ii) slight decreases in other general and
administrative expenses totaling $6,000, partially offset by (iii) an increase
of $34,000 in administration fees due to the acquisition of Oakwell Farms in
April 1999.
Funds from operations, (FFO) which, for the Partnership, consists of net
income plus depreciation of real estate assets, increased approximately
$557,000 or 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same
period in 1999. Funds from operations was $3,532,530 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $2,976,014 for the same period of 1999. FFO is not
defined by generally accepted accounting principles nor should it be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of operating
performance or to net cash provided by operating, investing and financing
activities as a measure of liquidity. The Partnership believes that FFO is
helpful in understanding the Partnership's results of operations in that such
calculation reflects the Partnership's ability to support interest payments
and general operating expenses before the impact of certain activities such as
changes in other assets and accounts payable. The Partnership's calculation
of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other
entities and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other entities.
