Dear Limited Partner:

The Capital Source consent  solicitation is well under way.  Reminders are being
mailed to unit holders whose consents were still  outstanding as of December 29,
1999.  If you have not yet mailed  your  consent  card,  please do so as soon as
possible.

You probably  received a letter from a fellow unit holder expressing his and his
wife's  dislike of our proposal.  They  certainly have a right to their opinion,
yet we disagree with their conclusion.

As we explained in the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation Statement you received in
November 1999, we believe it is not the time to liquidate the Funds.  Rather, it
is a time to grow the Funds.  Keep in mind America First  acquired  ownership of
the general partners well after the date the Funds were formed.  Since then, our
primary  goal has been to  increase  value for you,  as a limited  partner.  The
merger  would give us the tools we believe  we need to  increase  the new Fund's
assets, cash flow and market value. Please refer to the benefits of the proposed
transaction and the detrimental aspects of liquidation, which are discussed more
fully on pages  34-35 and 41-48 of the  November  10,  1999,  Prospectus/Consent
Solicitation Statement.

Listing  the units will  create  liquidity  for all our  limited  partners.  The
liquidity  feature  also allows you to increase  your  holdings in the new Fund.
Delay in approval of the  transaction  will only postpone the liquidity  feature
and will add to the cost of  completing  the merger,  especially  if  litigation
interferes with the transaction.

If you have questions, please call 1-800/239-8787,  option 4. Thank you for your
prompt attention to this matter. We look forward to a new and better Fund in the
year 2000 and beyond.

Sincerely,

Michael B. Yanney
Chairman

                  PLEASE EXECUTE AND SIGN THE ENCLOSED CONSENT
                     AND RETURN IT IN THE ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

Dear Limited Partner:

As of January 13, 2000,  we still have not received  your consent  regarding the
proposed  merger of the Capital Source Funds.  If you have sent us your consent,
you can ignore this letter.  If you have not returned your consent card,  we, as
well as your fellow limited partners, would appreciate your help in bringing the
consent solicitation to a conclusion, as it is a costly process.

Please  consider the  following  points as  explained in the  Prospectus/Consent
Solicitation Statement:

*    The units of the new Fund will be traded on the NASDAQ.

*    The  general  partner  believes  building  the  Funds'  assets  create  the
     potential  for  increased   long-term  value.   Other  options,   including
     liquidation of the Funds, will eliminate the ability to increase value.

*    By consolidating  the operations of the two Funds, the general partner will
     be able to reduce the Funds' operating costs.

*    If the transaction is not approved, the two Capital Source Funds will
     continue on as separate entities foregoing:
     1)   the ability to grow,
     2)   a liquid open market and
     3)   saving in administration costs.

If you have questions, please call 1-800/239-8787 and select option 4.

Sincerely,

Michael B. Yanney
Chairman

          CAPITAL SOURCE FUNDS ANNOUNCE CONSENT SOLICITATION EXTENSION

(Omaha,  NE) The general  partners of Capital  Source L.P. and Capital Source II
L.P.-A announced today that they have extended the current Consent  Solicitation
until February 18, 2000.  Holders of record as of October 28, 1999, are eligible
to   participate  in  the  Consent   Solicitation.   As  of  January  19,  2000,
approximately  58% of the BAC holders have returned  their consent  cards,  with
approximately  44% granting their consent to approve the proposed  merger of the
two Funds.

The general  partners are asking the limited partners to approve a merger of the
two Capital Source Funds into a new limited partnership,  which will have as its
long-term  objective  increased  income  through the  acquisition  of additional
multifamily residential  properties.  Approval of the proposed merger would also
provide limited partners with liquidity,  as units of the new Fund will trade on
the NASDAQ.
