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,
2000,  and the results of its  operations  for the three and nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000 and  1999,  and its cash  flows for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations  for the interim  periods
ended  September 30, 2000, are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

         The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States
and with the  instructions  to Form 10-QSB.  Certain  information and accounting
policies  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements
prepared in conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United  States 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, 1999.


2.       INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS

a.       DUE ON INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS AND ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE
         ---------------------------------------------------------------

         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  secured by the
Partnership's  interest in the respective Local Partnerships.  The total amounts
due on the purchase  money notes  consist of  outstanding  principal and accrued
interest of approximately $4.479 million and $8.017 million, respectively, as of
September 30, 2000, and $4.479 million and $7.664 million,  respectively,  as of
December 31, 1999. The Managing  General Partner is hopeful that an extension of
the purchase money notes' maturity dates can be negotiated with some but not all
of the noteholders.  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 the 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, each of the related Local Partnerships. Thus, even

                                       -4-

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.  The noteholders with respect to Frenchman's  Wharf I have already
filed  foreclosure  lawsuits.  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 month  periods  ended  September  30, 2000 and
1999, and its aggregate share of income from these two Local Partnerships was $0
for the three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and
$0 for the nine month periods ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.
See further discussion of these purchase money notes, below.

         Interest  expense on the  Partnership's  purchase  money  notes for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 was $117,549 and $352,648,
respectively,  and  $117,549  and  $352,647  for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999,  respectively.  The accrued interest payable on the purchase
money notes of $8,016,620  and  $7,663,972 as of September 30, 2000 and December
31, 1999, respectively, is currently due because all the notes have matured.

                               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 November 3, 2000, principal and accrued interest
of $3,778,800 and $7,103,449,  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  requested  another extension of the maturity date
of the  purchase  money  notes  until  May  2000,  to be  coterminous  with  the
expiration of the Local  Partnership's  provisional workout agreement (PWA) with
HUD related to its mortgage loan. The purchase money  noteholders  initiated two
separate  foreclosure  proceedings  in two states.  One group of plaintiffs  has
indicated  it  would  be  willing  to  stay  its  action  until  the  end of the
forbearance period with the Local Partnership's lender, so long as the plaintiff
in the other lawsuit does the same, but to date there has been no agreement with
that noteholder.  The Partnership has retained local counsel and intends to move
to dismiss the later filed suit and  consolidate it with the pending suit in the
state where the property is located.  However,  there is no  assurance  that the
Partnership will be able to retain its interest in Frenchman's Wharf I.

         In 1996,  HUD sold the mortgage loan to the same lender as  Shallowford
Oaks (see discussion  concerning  Shallowford Oaks,  below).  The local managing
general  partner has  obtained a  forbearance  agreement  from the lender  until
January 31, 2001, with two 30-day extension periods  available.  The forbearance
agreement allows for the discounted payoff of the mortgage loan. The Partnership
recently  received an offer to purchase the property,  which is currently  being
analyzed. Unless the sale can be consummated within the forbearance period, it

appears likely that the first mortgage lender will obtain the Frenchman's  Wharf
real estate through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in early 2001.

         In the event of a foreclosure,  the Partnership would 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. Should
the  Partnership  lose its  ownership  interest in  Frenchman's  Wharf I through
foreclosure of the purchase money note,  there would be no adverse impact on the
Partnership's financial condition, as discussed above. However, should the Local
Partnership lose its real estate through  foreclosure by its mortgage lender, it
is anticipated that there will be a severe adverse tax impact on the partners in
the  Partnership.  The total  federal  tax gain from  cancellation  of  mortgage
indebtedness  and  purchase  money  indebtedness  for the year 2001  related  to
Frenchman's Wharf I is estimated to be approximately $17 million.

                                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 November 3, 2000, principal and accrued interest of $700,000
and $956,208,  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 PWA related to its mortgage loan which
matures in November 2001. As of November 3, 2000, 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 PWA with
the lender's predecessor, HUD. 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.  Subsequently,  the  lender  filed an appeal  to the  order for  equitable
relief,  and oral arguments were held on October 13, 1999. In February 2000, the
Partnership received written notification of the court's ruling in its favor. In
connection with the mortgage  lender's attempt to foreclose on Shallowford Oaks,
the Partnership  filed a countersuit  against the mortgage lender. On October 6,
2000, the court of jurisdiction heard the mortgage lender's motion for dismissal
of the  countersuit.  As of  November  3, 2000,  there has been no ruling on the
motion.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership
advanced  Shallowford  Oaks $4,285  (net) 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,  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, 2000 and December 31, 1999,  the  Partnership  had
advanced funds,  including accrued  interest,  totaling $764,444 and $755,556 to
Local Partnerships.  For financial reporting purposes,  these loans have been or
will be  reduced  to zero by the  Partnership  as a result  of  losses  from the
related Local Partnerships.

c.       PROPERTY MATTERS

                               FRENCHMAN'S WHARF I

         The report of the auditors on the financial  statements of  Frenchman's
Wharf I for the year ended December 31, 1999 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 loan and the expiration
of its Section 8 Rental Housing  Assistance  Payments (HAP) contract with HUD on
November 30,  2000.  The  uncertainty  about the Local  Partnership's  continued
ownership of the property does not adversely impact the Partnership's  financial
condition, as discussed above.

                                 WINTHROP BEACH

         On March 23, 2000, Winthrop Beach Associates  (Winthrop Beach) sold its
property.  The sale resulted in a financial  statement gain of $527,850,  and an
estimated federal tax gain of $1.5 million.

         Combined  statements of operations for the 16 and 17 Local Partnerships
in which  the  Partnership  was  invested  as of  September  30,  2000 and 1999,
respectively,   follow.   The  combined   statements  have  been  compiled  from
information supplied by the management agents of the projects and are unaudited.
The  combined  statements  of  operations  for the three and nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 include  information  for Winthrop  Beach through the date of
sale.

</TABLE>


         As  of  September  30,  2000  and  1999,  the  Partnership's  share  of
cumulative losses to date for eight and eleven,  respectively,  of the 16 and 17
Local  Partnerships,  respectively,  exceeded  the  amount of the  Partnership's
investments  in and  advances  to those Local  Partnerships  by  $8,476,833  and
$9,451,348,  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 and Shallowford  Oaks have Section 8 HAP contracts
covering 10% and 20%,  respectively,  of their apartment units,  which contracts
expire  during  2000. A Section 8 HAP contract  provides  rental  subsidies to a
property owner for units occupied by low income  tenants.  If either contract is
not extended, there would likely be a temporary increase in vacancy during the 6
to 12 months after expiration, and a concomitant reduction in rental revenue. As
residents in the low-income units move out, the units would be made available to
market-rate residents.

         Most of the 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.  Further, these Local Partnerships have Section 8 HAP
contracts in place for all or  substantially  all of their apartment units which
are generally regulated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
(the state housing agencies,  RECD and HUD, collectively,  the Agencies).  These
Section 8 HAP contracts  begin to expire,  or have been  extended to expire,  in
November  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,  primarily  because the Agencies  have the right under 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 impact
on the Partnership's investments in the Local Partnerships.  As of September 30,
2000,  the  Partnership's  investment in Local  Partnerships  with Section 8 HAP
contracts expiring in the year 2000 was $0.


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 connection  with managing the  Partnership.  The Partnership
paid $22,771 and $78,375 for the three and nine month  periods  ended  September
30,  2000,  respectively,  and  $18,326 and $73,786 for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively,  to the Managing General Partner
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.

         In  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Partnership  Agreement,  the
Partnership is obligated to pay the Managing General Partner an annual incentive
management fee (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 each of the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         The Managing General Partner and/or its affiliates may receive a fee of
not more  than two  percent  of the  sales  price  of an  investment  in a Local
Partnership or the property it owns,  payable under certain  conditions upon the
sale of an  investment  in a Local  Partnership  or the  property  it owns.  The
payment of the fee is subject to certain restrictions, including the achievement
of a certain level of sales proceeds and making certain minimum distributions to
limited  partners.  No such fees were earned by the Managing  General Partner or
its affiliates for the three and nine month periods ended  September 30, 2000 or
1999.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
           of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


         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:  matured purchase money notes,
expiring Section 8 Housing Assistance  Payment (HAP) contracts,  properties with
state housing financing or Rural Economic  Community  Development  (RECD) agency
financing,  the  cessation  of losses  to the  Partnership  due to the  complete
depletion of low- income  housing  accelerated  depreciation  deductions  on the
Local  Partnerships'  properties,  and declining mortgage interest deductions as
the mortgage loans move closer to maturity.

         Lake  Properties  Limited  Partnership  (Frenchman's  Wharf  I) and ARA
Associates-Shangri-  La Ltd.  (Shallowford  Oaks) have  Section 8 HAP  contracts
covering 10% and 20%,  respectively,  of their apartment units,  which contracts
expire  during  2000. A Section 8 HAP contract  provides  rental  subsidies to a
property owner for units occupied by low income  tenants.  If either contract is
not extended, there would likely be a temporary increase in vacancy during the 6
to 12 months after expiration and a concomitant  reduction in rental revenue. As
residents in the low-income units move out, the units would be made available to
market-rate residents.

         Most of the 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 RECD agency.  Further,  these
Local   Partnerships   have  Section  8  HAP  contracts  in  place  for  all  or
substantially all of their apartment units which are generally  regulated by the
Department of Housing and Urban  Development  (HUD) (the state housing agencies,
RECD and HUD, collectively,  the Agencies).  These Section 8 HAP contracts begin
to expire,  or have been extended to expire,  in November 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,  primarily  because the Agencies
have the right under the mortgage  and/or  regulatory  agreement to disallow the
mortgage  prepayment.  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 impact
on the Partnership's investments in the Local Partnerships.  As of September 30,
2000,  the  Partnership's  investment in Local  Partnerships  with Section 8 HAP
contracts expiring in the year 2000 was $0.

         Sales  of  properties  with  state  Agency  or RECD  financing  will be
extremely  difficult.   Since  the  Agencies  are  unlikely  to  allow  mortgage
prepayment  and/or sale for a  conversion  to market rate  housing,  prospective
buyers are generally limited to non-profit  organizations.  Generally,  purchase
offers  received  from  non-profit  organizations  tend  to be  much  lower  per
apartment unit than those from profit-motivated companies.

PART I.           FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2.           Management's Discussion and Analysis
                    of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

         The  Managing   General   Partner  is  considering   marketing,   on  a
state-by-state  basis, one or more of the properties in which the Partnership is
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.

         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
$3,718,390  as of  September  30,  2000,  along  with  anticipated  future  cash
distributions  from the Local  Partnerships,  is expected to be adequate to meet
its current and anticipated  operating cash needs. As of November 3, 2000, there
were 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, Frenchman's Wharf
I and  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  secured by the
Partnership's  interest in the respective Local Partnerships.  The total amounts
due on the purchase  money notes  consist of  outstanding  principal and accrued
interest of approximately $4.479 million and $8.017 million, respectively, as of
September 30, 2000, and $4.479 million and $7.664 million,  respectively,  as of
December 31, 1999. The Managing  General Partner is hopeful that an extension of
the purchase money notes' maturity dates can be negotiated with some but not all
of the noteholders.  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 the 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,  each of 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.  The noteholders with respect to Frenchman's  Wharf I have already
filed  foreclosure  lawsuits.  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

                                      -11-

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
month periods  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  and its aggregate  share of
income  from these two Local  Partnerships  was $0 for the three  month  periods
ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively,  and $0 for the nine  month
periods ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  See the notes to the
financial statements for additional  information concerning 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 month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the
receipt  of  distributions  from  Local  Partnerships  was  adequate  to support
operating cash requirements. Cash and cash equivalents increased during the nine
months ended  September  30, 2000 due to proceeds  received from the sale of the
Winthrop Beach Associates  property  (Winthrop Beach), as discussed in the notes
to  the  financial  statements,   and  as  the  receipt  of  distributions  from
partnerships was in excess of net cash used in operating activities.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Partnership's net income for the three month period ended September
30, 2000  decreased from the  corresponding  period in 1999 due to a decrease in
share of income from partnerships as the result of lower distributions  received
from two  properties,  and of the exclusion  from share of income in 2000 of the
operating  results at two properties which had accumulated  unallowable  losses.
Offsetting the decrease in net income was an increase in interest  income due to
higher cash and cash equivalent balances and higher interest rates in 2000.

         The  Partnership's net income for the nine month period ended September
30, 2000 increased from the  corresponding  period in 1999 primarily due to gain
on disposition of investment in partnership  related to the sale of the Winthrop
Beach property in March 2000.  Contributing to the increase in net income was an
increase in interest income as discussed  above.  Offsetting the increase in the
Partnership's  net income was a decrease in share of income  from  partnerships,
also as discussed above.

         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  share of income from partnerships for the three and
nine month periods ended  September 30, 2000, did not include losses of $133,803
and $401,410, respectively, compared to excluded losses of $250,900 and $752,704
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5.  Other Information

     a.   On  October  2,  2000,  Equity  Resource  Lexington  Fund  (Lexington)
          initiated an unregistered tender offer to purchase approximately 1,200
          of the outstanding units of additional  limited  partnership  interest
          (Units)  in the  Partnership  at a price of $20 per  Unit;  the  offer
          expired November 2, 2000.  Lexington is unaffiliated with the Managing
          General  Partner.  The  price  offered  was  determined  solely at the
          discretion  of Lexington and does not  necessarily  represent the fair
          value of each Unit.  There is no  established  market for the purchase
          and  sale of  Units  in the  Partnership,  although  various  informal
          secondary market services exist. Due to the limited markets,  however,
          investors may be unable to sell or otherwise dispose of their Units in
          the Partnership.

     b.   On October 17,  2000,  the  Partnership  made a cash  distribution  of
          $247,670 ($10.00 per Unit) to Additional Limited Partners,  to holders
          of record as of September 30, 2000. The  distribution  was a result of
          cash resources  accumulated  from  operations and  distributions  from
          Local Partnerships, and from the sale of Winthrop Beach in March 2000.
