1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), the Managing General Partner, the
accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position of Capital Realty Investors, Ltd. (the Partnership) as of September 30,
1999, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, and its cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998.  The results of operations for the interim period
ended September 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB.  Certain information and accounting policies and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such instructions.  These condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB at December 31, 1998.


2.   INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS

a.   Due on investments in partnerships
     ----------------------------------

     The Partnership is the maker of purchase money notes which have matured and
have not been paid with respect to two Local Partnerships, Lake Properties
Limited Partnership (Frenchman's Wharf I) and ARA Associates-Shangri-La Ltd.
(Shallowford Oaks).  The purchase money notes accrue interest and require
payment in full of all unpaid accrued interest and principal upon the occurrence
of certain events, such as the sale or refinancing of the underlying apartment
complex or the maturity of the respective purchase money note.  The purchase
money notes, which are nonrecourse to the Partnership, are generally secured by
the Partnership's interest in the respective Local Partnerships.  The amounts
due on the purchase money notes consist of outstanding principal and accrued
interest of approximately $4.479 million and $7.546 million, respectively, as of
September 30, 1999, and $4.479 million and $7.194 million, respectively, as of
December 31, 1998.  The Managing General Partner is hopeful that an extension of
the purchase money notes' maturity dates can be negotiated.  It is possible,
however, that the noteholders could refuse to negotiate or, even if extensions
are obtained, that the underlying properties' values will be insufficient to pay
off the purchase money notes at the time of sale or refinancing.

     The Partnership's inability to pay these purchase money note principal and
accrued interest balances when due, and the resulting uncertainty regarding the
Partnership's continued ownership interest in the related Local Partnerships,
does not adversely impact the Partnership's financial condition because the
purchase money notes are nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's
interest in the related Local Partnerships.  Therefore, should the investment in
Frenchman's Wharf I and/or Shallowford Oaks not produce sufficient value to
satisfy the related purchase money notes, the Partnership's exposure to loss is
limited because the amount of the nonrecourse indebtedness of each of the

maturing purchase money notes exceeds the carrying amount of the investment in,
and advances to, the related Local Partnerships.  Thus, even a complete loss of
the Partnership's interest in one or both of these Local Partnerships would not
have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Partnership.
However, since these notes remain unpaid, the noteholders have the right to
foreclose on the Partnership's interest in the related Local Partnerships.  In
the event of a foreclosure, the excess of the nonrecourse indebtedness over the
carrying amount of the Partnership's investment in the related Local Partnership
would be deemed cancellation of indebtedness income, which would be taxable to
Limited Partners at a federal tax rate of up to 39.6%.  Additionally, in the
event of a foreclosure, the Partnership would lose its investment in the Local
Partnership and, likewise, its share of any future cash flow distributed by the
Local Partnership from rental operations, mortgage debt refinancings, or the
sale of the real estate.  The Partnership did not receive any distributions from
Frenchman's Wharf I or Shallowford Oaks during the nine months ended September
30, 1999 and 1998, and its aggregate share of income from these two Local
Partnerships was $0 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively, and $0 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.  See further discussion of these purchase money notes,
below.

     Interest expense on the Partnership's purchase money notes for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $117,549 and $352,647,
respectively, and $117,549 and $352,647 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998, respectively.  The accrued interest payable on the purchase
money notes of $7,546,423 and $7,193,776 as of September 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998, respectively, is due on the respective maturity dates of the purchase
money notes or earlier, in some instances, if (and to the extent of a portion
thereof) the pertinent Local Partnership has distributable net cash flow, as
defined in the relevant Local Partnership agreement.

                               Frenchman's Wharf I
                               -------------------

     The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money notes related to
Frenchman's Wharf I on June 1, 1998 when the notes matured and were not paid.
The default amount included principal and accrued interest of $3,778,800 and
$6,086,253, respectively.  As of October 29, 1999, principal and accrued
interest of $3,778,800 and $6,678,074, respectively, were due.  The purchase
money notes were initially due to mature on June 1, 1988, but were extended to
mature on June 1, 1998.  The Partnership has requested another extension of the
maturity date of the purchase money notes until May 2000, coterminous with the
expiration of the Local Partnership's provisional workout agreement related to
its mortgage loan.  As of October 29, 1999, the noteholders had not consented to
an extension agreement.  There is no assurance that any agreement will be
reached with the noteholders.  As such, there is no assurance that the
Partnership will be able to retain its interest in Frenchman's Wharf I.  In the
event of a foreclosure, the Partnership would also lose its share of any future
cash flow distributed by the Local Partnership from rental operations, mortgage
debt refinancings, or the sale of the real estate.  The uncertainty regarding
the continued ownership of the Partnership's interest in Frenchman's Wharf I

does not adversely impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed
above.

                                Shallowford Oaks
                                ----------------

     The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money note relating to
Shallowford Oaks on January 1, 1997 when the note matured and was not paid.  The
default amount included principal and accrued interest of $700,000 and $761,389,
respectively.  As of October 29, 1999, principal and accrued interest of
$700,000 and $904,740, respectively, were due.  The Managing General Partner has
proposed to extend the maturity date of the note until November 2001,
coterminous with the expiration of the Local Partnership's provisional workout
agreement related to its mortgage loan.  As of October 29, 1999, the Managing
General Partner is awaiting a response from the noteholders.  There is no
assurance that any agreement will be reached with the noteholders.

     In addition, Shallowford Oaks' mortgage lender filed notice on November 3,
1997 accelerating the maturity of the Local Partnership's mortgage loan and
demanding payment in full due to a purported nonmonetary default of the
provisional workout agreement.  Subsequently, the local managing general partner
filed an action to enjoin the attempted foreclosure.  The court entered an order
for equitable relief in Shallowford's favor on November 12, 1998.  The lender
filed a motion for a new trial and a motion to alter or amend judgment in
December 1998.  The court denied the lender's motions by order dated March 24,
1999.  The lender filed an appeal to the order for equitable relief and oral
arguments were held on October 13, 1999, and a ruling is expected in early 2000.
During 1998, the Partnership funded 50% of the legal costs and fees to defend
the foreclosure action with the balance funded by the local managing general
partner.  The Partnership expects to fund 50% of the continuing legal costs in
1999.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership
advanced Shallowford Oaks $19,148 and $49,143, respectively, for legal costs.

     Due to the uncertainties regarding the outcome of an extension of the
maturity date of the purchase money note, and the outcome of the foreclosure
proceedings on the Local Partnership's mortgage loan, there is no assurance that
the Partnership will be able to retain its interest in Shallowford Oaks.  In the
event of a foreclosure, the Partnership would also lose its share of any future
cash flow distributed by the Local Partnership from rental operations, mortgage
debt refinancings, or the sale of the real estate.  The uncertainty regarding
the continued ownership of the Partnership's interest in Shallowford Oaks does
not adversely impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed above.

b.   Advances to Local Partnerships
     ------------------------------

     As of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Partnership had
advanced funds, including accrued interest, totaling $745,847 and $692,102 to
Local Partnerships.  The advances during 1999 were made to Shallowford Oaks to
cover continuing legal costs ($49,143) and for interest accrued ($4,602) on

advances to Shallowford Oaks.  For financial reporting purposes, these advances
have been or will be reduced to zero by the Partnership as a result of losses
from the related Local Partnerships.

                                Frederick Heights
                                -----------------

     The Managing General Partner is currently exploring options to refinance
the property's first mortgage loan related to Frederick Heights Limited
Partnership (Frederick Heights).  There is no assurance that a refinancing will
be obtained.

                               Frenchman's Wharf I
                               -------------------

     The report of the auditors on the financial statements of Frenchman's Wharf
I for the year ended December 31, 1998 indicated that substantial doubt exists
about the ability of the Local Partnership to continue as a going concern due to
the Local Partnership's default on its mortgage and the expiration of its
Section 8 HAP contract with HUD on November 30, 1999.  The uncertainty about the
Local Partnership's continued ownership of the property does not adversely
impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed above.

d.   Summarized financial information
     --------------------------------

     Combined statements of operations for the 17 Local Partnerships in which
the Partnership has invested as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, follow.  The
combined statements have been compiled from information supplied by the
management agents of the projects and are unaudited.

     As of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Partnership's share of
cumulative losses to date for 11 of the 17 Local Partnerships exceeded the
amount of the Partnership's investments in and advances to those Local
Partnerships by $9,451,348 and $8,698,644, respectively.  As the Partnership has
no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to these Local
Partnerships, the excess losses have not been reflected in the accompanying
financial statements.


3.   AFFORDABLE HOUSING LEGISLATION

     Frenchman's Wharf I has a Section 8 HAP contract covering 10% of the
property's apartment units which expires during 1999.  The Section 8 HAP
contract provides rental subsidies to the property owner for units occupied by
low income tenants.  If the contract is not extended, there will likely be a
temporary increase in vacancy during the 6-12 months after it expires.  As
residents in the low-income units move out, the units will be made available to
market-rate residents, as market conditions allow.

     Eight Local Partnerships in which the Partnership is invested have mortgage
loans financed by various state housing agencies, and two Local Partnerships
have mortgage loans financed by the Rural Economic Community Development (RECD)
agency.  These Local Partnerships have Section 8 HAP contracts in place for all

or substantially all of their apartment units.  These Section 8 HAP contracts
begin to expire in September 2000.  Currently, the Managing General Partner
believes that the agencies will strive to preserve the units as low income, or
affordable, housing.  Therefore, it appears unlikely that the agencies will
allow a prepayment of the respective mortgage loans or a conversion of the units
to market rate housing.  The Managing General Partner continues to monitor the
actions of these financing agencies to assess how these agencies will deal with
expiring Section 8 HAP contracts and what impact these agencies' strategies will
have on the operations of the Local Partnerships and, consequently, the value of
these investments to the Partnership.


4.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
is obligated to reimburse the Managing General Partner for its direct expenses
in managing the Partnership.  The Partnership paid $18,326 and $73,786 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, and $23,380 and
$74,454 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as
direct reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership.  Such
expenses are included in the accompanying statements of operations as general
and administrative expenses.  Additionally, in accordance with the terms of the
Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to pay the Managing General
Partner an annual incentive management fee (the Management Fee) after all other
expenses of the Partnership are paid.  The Partnership paid the Managing General
Partner a Management Fee of $23,802 and $71,406 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, respectively, and like amounts for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

     Capital Realty Investors, Ltd.'s (the Partnership) Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section contains
information that may be considered forward looking, including statements
regarding the effect of governmental regulations.  Actual results may differ
materially from those described in the forward looking statements and will be
affected by a variety of factors including national and local economic
conditions, the general level of interest rates, governmental regulations
affecting the Partnership and interpretations of those regulations, the
competitive environment in which the Partnership operates, and the availability
of working capital.

                                     General
                                     -------

     C.R.I., Inc. (the Managing General Partner) continues to evaluate the
Partnership's underlying apartment complexes to develop strategies that make
sense for all parties involved.  Issues that are at the forefront of the
Managing General Partner's strategic planning include:  purchase money notes
which have matured, expiring Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP)
contracts, exploring options for dealing with properties with state housing
financing or Rural Economic Community Development (RECD) agency financing,
cessation of losses to the Partnership since the low-income housing accelerated
depreciation deductions are completely depleted at the property levels, and
declining mortgage interest deductions as the mortgage loans move closer to
maturity.

     Lake Properties Limited Partnership (Frenchman's Wharf I) has a Section 8
HAP contract covering 10% of the property's apartment units which expires during
1999.  The Section 8 HAP contract provides rental subsidies to the property
owner for units occupied by low income tenants.  If the contract is not
extended, there will likely be a temporary increase in vacancy during the 6-12
months after it expires.  As residents in the low-income units move out, the
units will be made available to market-rate residents, as market conditions
allow.

     Eight Local Partnerships in which the Partnership is invested have mortgage
loans financed by various state housing agencies, and two Local Partnerships
have mortgage loans financed by the Rural Economic Community Development (RECD)
agency.  These Local Partnerships have Section 8 HAP contracts in place for all
or substantially all of their apartment units.  These Section 8 HAP contracts
begin to expire in September 2000.  Currently, the Managing General Partner
believes that the agencies will strive to preserve the units as low income, or
affordable, housing.  Therefore, it appears unlikely that the agencies will
allow a prepayment of the respective mortgage loans or a conversion of the units
to market rate housing.  The Managing General Partner continues to monitor the
actions of these financing agencies to assess how these agencies will deal with
expiring Section 8 HAP contracts and what impact these agencies' strategies will
have on the operations of the Local Partnerships and, consequently, the value of
these investments to the Partnership.

     Sales of properties with state agency or RECD financing will be extremely
difficult.  Since the agencies are unlikely to allow prepayment and/or sale for
a conversion to market rate housing, the buyers are limited to non-profit
organizations.  Given the relative scarcity of interested buyers for such
properties, purchase offers received from non-profit organizations tend to be
much lower per apartment unit than those from profit-motivated companies.

               -----------------------------------

     The Managing General Partner is considering marketing, on a state-by-state
basis, one or more of the properties in which the Partnership invested with
properties in other portfolios sponsored by the Managing General Partner.  This
may enhance the opportunity to sell these properties.  Each property is
different, so it is impossible to predict if any of the Partnership's properties
might be included in such a combination sale.

     Two properties in which the Partnership has invested, Winthrop Beach and
Frederick Heights, consist of market rate apartment units which have no Section
8 HAP contracts.  Winthrop Beach, located in Chicago, Illinois, does not
generate positive cash flow.  Frederick Heights, located in Frederick, Maryland,
generated positive cash flow of approximately $100,000 in 1998.  The Managing
General Partner is monitoring Winthrop Beach for future sale potential and
Frederick Heights for a potential refinancing.

     The Managing General Partner is working diligently on behalf of the
Partnership to produce the best results possible under these difficult
circumstances.  While the Managing General Partner cannot predict the outcome
for any particular property at this time, the Managing General Partner will
continue to work with the Local Partnerships to develop strategies that make
sense for all parties involved.

                          Financial Condition/Liquidity
                          -----------------------------

     The Partnership's liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $2,730,080
($106.79 per Limited Partner unit) and $2,318,302 ($90.54 per Limited Partner
unit) as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, along with
anticipated future cash distributions from the Local Partnerships, are expected
to be adequate to meet its current and anticipated operating cash needs.  As of
both September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, $140,000 of cash equivalents were
restricted for the collateralization of a letter of credit which secured a
surety bond related to the stay of foreclosure action on Shallowford Oaks.  See
the notes to the financial statements for additional discussion concerning
Shallowford Oaks.  As of October 29, 1999, there are no material commitments for
capital expenditures.

     The Partnership is the maker of purchase money notes which have matured and
have not been paid with respect to two Local Partnerships, Lake Properties
Limited Partnership (Frenchman's Wharf I) and ARA Associates-Shangri-La Ltd.
(Shallowford Oaks).  The purchase money notes accrue interest and require
payment in full of all unpaid accrued interest and principal upon the occurrence
of certain events, such as the sale or refinancing of the underlying apartment
complex or the maturity of the respective purchase money note.  The purchase
money notes, which are nonrecourse to the Partnership, are generally secured by
the Partnership's interest in the respective Local Partnerships.  The amounts
due on the purchase money notes consist of outstanding principal and accrued
interest of approximately $4.479 million and $7.546 million, respectively, as of
September 30, 1999, and $4.479 million and $7.194 million, respectively, as of
December 31, 1998.  The Managing General Partner is hopeful that an extension of
the purchase money notes' maturity dates can be negotiated.  It is possible,
however, that the noteholders could refuse to negotiate or, even if extensions
are obtained, that the underlying properties' values will be insufficient to pay
off the purchase money notes at the time of sale or refinancing.

          -------------------------------------------------
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
               -----------------------------------

     The Partnership's inability to pay these purchase money note principal and
accrued interest balances when due, and the resulting uncertainty regarding the
Partnership's continued ownership interest in the related Local Partnerships,
does not adversely impact the Partnership's financial condition because the
purchase money notes are nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's
interest in the related Local Partnerships.  Therefore, should the investment in
Frenchman's Wharf I and/or Shallowford Oaks not produce sufficient value to
satisfy the related purchase money notes, the Partnership's exposure to loss is
limited because the amount of the nonrecourse indebtedness of each of the
maturing purchase money notes exceeds the carrying amount of the investment in,
and advances to, the related Local Partnerships.  Thus, even a complete loss of
the Partnership's interest in one or both of these Local Partnerships would not
have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Partnership.
However, since these notes remain unpaid, the noteholders have the right to
foreclose on the Partnership's interest in the related Local Partnerships.  In
the event of a foreclosure, the excess of the nonrecourse indebtedness over the
carrying amount of the Partnership's investment in the related Local Partnership
would be deemed cancellation of indebtedness income, which would be taxable to
Limited Partners at a federal tax rate of up to 39.6%.  Additionally, in the
event of a foreclosure, the Partnership would lose its investment in the Local
Partnership and, likewise, its share of any future cash flow distributed by the
Local Partnership from rental operations, mortgage debt refinancings, or the
sale of the real estate.  The Partnership did not receive any distributions from
Frenchman's Wharf I or Shallowford Oaks during the nine months ended September
30, 1999 and 1998, and its aggregate share of income from these two Local
Partnerships was $0 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively, and $0 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.  See the notes to the financial statements for
additional information concerning to these purchase money notes.

     The Partnership closely monitors its cash flow and liquidity position in an
effort to ensure that sufficient cash is available for operating requirements.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the receipt of
distributions from partnerships was adequate to support operating cash
requirements.  Cash and cash equivalents increased during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, as a receipt of distributions from partnerships exceeded net
cash used in operating activities and cash advanced to a local partnership.

                              Results of Operations
                              ---------------------

     The Partnership's net income for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1999 increased from the corresponding periods in 1998 principally due to an
increase in share of income from partnerships primarily due to increased rental
income and decreased operating expenses at five properties.  Contributing to the
increase in the Partnership's net income was an increase in interest income due
to higher interest-earning balances.  Also contributing to the increase in the
Partnership's net income was a decrease in professional fees due to the
Shallowford Oaks foreclosure litigation in 1998.

     For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership, as a limited partner in
the Local Partnerships, does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in
excess of its investment to the extent that the Partnership has no further
obligation to advance funds or provide financing to the Local Partnerships.  As
a result, the Partnership's recognized losses for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 did not include losses of $250,900 and $752,704,

respectively, compared to excluded losses of $336,831 and $774,388, for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

     No other significant changes in the Partnership's operations have taken
place during this period.

                            Year 2000 Computer Issue
                            ------------------------

     The Year 2000 ("Y2K") computer issue refers to the inability of many
computer systems in use today to recognize "00" in the date field as the year
2000 and to recognize the year 2000 as a leap year.  The Y2K problem arose
because, for many years, computer software programs, including programs embedded
in hardware, utilized only the last two digits to specify the year with the
assumption that the first two digits were "19."  As a result, such programs may
not be able to recognize and process dates beyond 1999; rather, they may
recognize and process "00," "01," "02,", etc., incorrectly as 1900, 1901, 1902,
instead of as 2000, 2001, 2002.  In the opinion of computer experts, this could
cause such programs to create erroneous results, malfunction, or fail completely
unless corrective measures are taken.

     The Partnership utilizes software and related computer technologies
essential to its operations that will be affected by the Y2K issue.  To address
the issue, the Managing General Partner has developed and is currently
implementing a plan (the "Y2K Project") designed to ensure that the Y2K date
change will not have an adverse impact on the Partnership's operations.  The Y2K
Project is on schedule and the Managing General Partner expects completion by
the end of 1999.  The Y2K Project consists of four phases -- Planning,
Assessment, Implementation and Testing.  The Planning Phase began early in 1998
and is complete.  Under the Planning Phase, the Managing General Partner
conducted an inventory of all internal hardware and software systems, data
interfaces, business operations and non-information technology functions which
may be susceptible to the Y2K issue.  This phase was completed at the end of
November 1998.  Under the next phase, the Assessment Phase, all applications and
functions identified in the Planning Phase were analyzed to determine Y2K
compliance and the materiality of each identified risk.  In the event of
noncompliance for material risks, timetables for corrective action, as well as
estimated costs to achieve compliance, were determined.  This phase was
completed during the first quarter of 1999.  The Implementation Phase is now
underway.  Renovation and replacement of existing internal hardware and software
systems has begun and completion is expected by December 1999.  Additionally,
the Managing General Partner is currently working with third party vendors,
service providers, Local Partnership managing general partners, and Local
Partnership property managers, to verify their Y2K compliance, with completion
expected by December 1999.  The Testing Phase, which includes testing of
internal applications as well as some third party systems, began during January
1999 and will continue throughout 1999.  Contingency planning commenced during
the fourth quarter 1998 and will be completed by year-end 1999.  The Managing
General Partner does not expect the expense associated with the Y2K Project to
be material.

                               -------------------

     The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money notes related to
Frenchman's Wharf I on June 1, 1998 when the notes matured and were not paid.
The default amount included principal and accrued interest of $3,778,800 and
$6,086,253, respectively.  As of October 29, 1999, principal and accrued
interest of $3,778,800 and $6,678,074, respectively, were due.  The purchase
money notes were initially due to mature on June 1, 1988, but were extended to
mature on June 1, 1998.  The Partnership has requested another extension of the
maturity date of the purchase money notes until May 2000, coterminous with the
expiration of the Local Partnership's provisional workout agreement related to
its mortgage loan.  As of October 29, 1999, the noteholders had not consented to
an extension agreement.  There is no assurance that any agreement will be
reached with the noteholders.  As such, there is no assurance that the
Partnership will be able to retain its interest in Frenchman's Wharf I.  In the
event of a foreclosure, the Partnership would also lose its share of any future
cash flow distributed by the Local Partnership from rental operations, mortgage
debt refinancings, or the sale of the real estate.  The uncertainty regarding
the continued ownership of the Partnership's interest in Frenchman's Wharf I
does not adversely impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed
above.

     The report of the auditors on the financial statements of Frenchman's Wharf
I for the year ended December 31, 1998 indicated that substantial doubt exists
about the ability of the Local Partnership to continue as a going concern due to
the Local Partnership's default on its mortgage and the expiration of its
Section 8 HAP contract with HUD on November 30, 1999.  The uncertainty about the
Local Partnership's continued ownership of the property does not adversely
impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed above.

                                ----------------

     The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money note relating to
Shallowford Oaks on January 1, 1997 when the note matured and was not paid.  The
default amount included principal and accrued interest of $700,000 and $761,389,
respectively.  As of October 29, 1999, principal and accrued interest of
$700,000 and $904,740, respectively, were due.  The Managing General Partner has
proposed to extend the maturity date of the note until November 2001,
coterminous with the expiration of the Local Partnership's provisional workout
agreement related to its mortgage loan.  As of October 29, 1999, the Managing
General Partner is awaiting a response from the noteholders.  There is no
assurance that any agreement will be reached with the noteholders.

     In addition, Shallowford Oaks' mortgage lender filed notice on November 3,
1997 accelerating the maturity of the Local Partnership's mortgage loan and
demanding payment in full due to a purported nonmonetary default of the
provisional workout agreement.  Subsequently, the local managing general partner
filed an action to enjoin the attempted foreclosure.  The court entered an order
for equitable relief in Shallowford's favor on November 12, 1998.  The lender
filed a motion for a new trial and a motion to alter or amend judgment in
December 1998.  The court denied the lender's motions by order dated March 24,
1999.  The lender filed an appeal to the order for equitable relief and oral
arguments were held on October 13, 1999, and a ruling is expected in early 2000.

During 1998, the Partnership funded 50% of the legal costs and fees to defend
the foreclosure action with the balance funded by the local managing general
partner.  The Partnership expects to fund 50% of the continuing legal costs in
1999.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership
advanced Shallowford Oaks $19,148 and $49,143, respectively, for legal costs.

     Due to the uncertainties regarding the outcome of an extension of the
maturity date of the purchase money note, and the outcome of the foreclosure
proceedings on the Local Partnership's mortgage loan, there is no assurance that
the Partnership will be able to retain its interest in Shallowford Oaks.  In the
event of a foreclosure, the Partnership would also lose its share of any future
cash flow distributed by the Local Partnership from rental operations, mortgage
debt refinancings, or the sale of the real estate.  The uncertainty regarding
the continued ownership of the Partnership's interest in Shallowford Oaks does
not adversely impact the Partnership's financial condition, as discussed above.
