AMERICA FIRST APARTMENT INVESTORS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
America First Apartment Investors, L.P. (the Partnership) was formed on March
7, 1996, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the
purpose of acquiring, holding, operating, selling or otherwise dealing with
multifamily residential properties and other types of commercial real estate
and interests therein. The Partnership commenced operations on August 20,
1996, when it merged with America First Tax Exempt Mortgage Fund 2 Limited
Partnership (the Prior Partnership). The Partnership will terminate on
December 31, 2016, unless terminated earlier under the provisions of its
Partnership Agreement. The General Partner of the Partnership is America
First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Four (AFCA 4).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A) Financial Statement 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 consolidated financial statements of the Partnership are prepared
without audit on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. 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 March 31, 2000, and results of operations
for all periods presented have been made.
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.
B) Investment in Real Estate
Each real estate property is recorded at the lower of the Partnership's
cost or fair value.
Management reviews each property for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property
may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an
estimate of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use
and eventual disposition. If impairment exists due to the inability to
recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded
to the extent that the carrying value of the property exceeds its
estimated fair value. There were no impairment losses recorded for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 or 1999.
Depreciation of real estate is based on the estimated useful life of the
property (27-1/2 years on multifamily residential apartments and 31-1/2
years on The Exchange at Palm Bay) using the straight-line method.
Depreciation of real estate improvements on The Exchange at Palm Bay is
based on the term of the related tenant lease using the straight-line
method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
C) Revenue Recognition
The Partnership leases multifamily rental units under operating leases
with terms of one year or less. Rental revenue is recognized as earned net
of any vacancy losses and rental concessions offered. Rental income on
commercial property is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term
of each operating lease.
D) Income Taxes
No provision has been made for income taxes since Beneficial Unit
Certificate (BUC) Holders are required to report their share of the
Partnership's taxable income for federal and state income tax purposes.
E) Cash and Temporary Cash Investments
Cash and temporary cash investments include cash on hand and highly liquid
investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted cash and temporary cash investments represent amounts which
serve as collateral for certain of the Partnership's bonds payable.
F) Net Income per BUC
Net income per BUC has been calculated based on the weighted average
number of BUCs outstanding during each period presented.
G) New Accounting Pronouncement
In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). This statement provides
new accounting and reporting standards for the use of derivative
instruments. Adoption of this statement, as amended, is required by the
Partnership effective January 1, 2001. Management is currently evaluating
the effects of adopting this statement.
3. Partnership Income, Expenses, Cash Distributions and Capital
The Partnership Agreement contains provisions for the distribution of Net
Operating Income, Net Sale Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds and for the
allocation of income and expenses for tax purposes among AFCA 4 and BUC
Holders.
Cash distributions were made on a monthly basis through December 31, 1999.
However, effective January 1, 2000, the Partnership began paying quarterly
distritutions with the first such distribution paid on March 31, 2000 to
holders of record as of March 15, 2000. Cash distributions included in the
financial statements represent the actual cash distributions made during each
period and the cash distributions accrued at the end of each period.
On January 11, 2000, management announced its intent to purchase and cancel up
to $1 million of Beneficial Unit Certificates (BUCs) as they become
available in the open market. Through March 31, 2000, 41,000 BUCs had been
acquired at a cost of $355,536.

6. 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 three
months ended March 31, 2000, was $232,569. 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 three months ended March 31, 2000,
was $193,450.
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
three months ended March 31, 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 $246,897 for
the three months ended March 31, 2000.

The Partnership anticipates that future property acquisitions will be financed
by the assumption of existing indebtedness on properties to be acquired or the
origination of new debt.
At March 31, 2000, the Partnership had debt obligations under nine financing
arrangements with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of approximately
$68,900,000. 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 $18,500,000. Five of the debt obligations which
total approximately $32,500,000 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 March 31, 2000. The remaining 16%
of the financing arrangements have variable rates which are based on the Bond
Market Association (BMA) rate index plus .6%. For the three months ended
March 31, 2000, such variable rates averaged 4.17%. 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.
On January 11, 2000, management announced its intent to purchase and cancel up
to $1 million of Beneficial Unit Certificates (BUCs) as they become
available in the open market. Through March 31, 2000, 41,000 BUCs had been
acquired at a cost of $355,536.
<PAGE> - 10 -
In addition to making property acquisitions, the Partnership requires cash to
pay its operating expenses, make periodic distributions to its BUC holders and
acquire Partnership BUCs. The following table sets forth information
regarding cash distributions paid or accrued to BUC holders for the periods
shown:

</TABLE>
As previously announced, effective January 1, 2000, the Partnership will pay
quarterly distributions at an annual rate of $.90 per BUC. The first quarterly
distribution was paid on March 30, 2000, to record holders as of March 15,
2000. Future quarterly distributions will be made on/or about the 15th of the
month following the end of a quarter to record holders as of the last day of
such quarter.
The principal sources of cash available for the payment of expenses and
distributions and for the purchase of Partnership BUCs are: (i) net rental
revenues generated by the Partnership's real estate, (ii) interest income
earned on investments and (iii) undistributed cash held by the Partnership.
Future distributions to BUC holders will depend on the amount of net rental
income and interest income earned by the Partnership and the amount of
undistributed cash. The Partnership believes that cash-on-hand and cash
provided by net rental income and interest income will be adequate to meet its
projected short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. Under the terms of
its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership has the authority to enter into
short-term and long-term debt financing arrangements. However, the
Partnership currently does not anticipate entering into such arrangements for
purposes of paying expenses and making distributions. However, in connection
with the acquisition of additional real estate, the Partnership does expect to
borrow additional amounts through the issuance of tax-exempt mortgage bonds,
through the assumption of existing taxable mortgage debt or the origination of
new long-term debt. The Partnership is not authorized to issue additional
BUCs to meet short-term or long-term liquidity requirements.
Asset Quality
It is the policy of the Partnership to make a periodic review of its real
estate, and adjust, when necessary, the carrying value of such real estate.
Each real estate property held by the Partnership is recorded at the lower of
cost or fair value.
The fair value of all real estate owned by the Partnership is based on
management's best estimate of the fair value of the properties which may vary
from the ultimate value realized from these properties.
Management reviews each property for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be
recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of
undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual
disposition. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the
carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent
that the carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated value.
Based on the foregoing methodology, internal valuation and reviews performed
during the three months ended March 31, 2000 indicated that the carrying value

</TABLE>
Rental income increased $975,746 for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is attributable to: (i) a
$716,000 increase resulting from the acquisition of Oakwell Farms Apartments
in April 1999 and (ii) a $260,000 increase resulting from increases in average
occupancy at most of the Partnership's properties and increases in rental
rates at several properties.
Interest income increased $98,561 for the three months ended March 31, 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 $528,795 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is
attributable to: (i) a $320,000 increase resulting from the acquisition of
Oakwell Farms Apartments in April 1999; (ii) a $107,000 increase in repairs
and maintenance expenses and capital improvements at eight of the Partnerships
properties; (iii) a $55,000 increase in salaries and related expenses at seven
properties and (iv) a $47,000 increase in other property operating expenses.
Depreciation expense increased $148,912 for the three months ended March 31,
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 $241,480 for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is primarily due to: (i)
interest of $227,000 incurred on the mortgage note payable on Oakwell Farms
Apartments; (ii) an increase of approximately $33,000 on the Partnership's
variable rate financings of The Hunt Apartments and Greenbriar Apartments,
partially offset by (iii) a decrease of approximately $19,000 in interest
expense on the Partnership's other mortgage obligations.
General and administrative expenses decreased $46,626 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. This decrease is
primarily due to: (i) a decrease of $52,000 in salaries and related expenses
(ii) a decrease of $20,000 in other general and administrative expenses.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $26,000 in
administrative fees resulting from the acquisition of Oakwell Farms Apartments.

Funds from operations (net income plus depreciation of real estate assets)
increased approximately $351,000 or 25% for the three months ended March 31,
2000, compared to the same period in 1999. Funds from operations was
$1,762,892 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $1,412,234
for the same period of 1999.
