	    Item 1.  Business.  

    Capital Source L.P. (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership")hereby amends  
Items 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, and 14 of its Form 10-K filed for the fiscal 
year ended December 31, 1997, to restate its financial statements to reflect 
the Registrants investments in Operating Partnerships on the equity method of 
accounting.  Such investments had previously been consolidated by the 
Registrant as more fully described in Note 2.H. to the financial statements.  
Accordingly the financial statements, supplementary tables and related 
disclosures have all been restated to the new basis of accounting.  The 
financial statements appearing in the Partnership's 10K for the year ending 
December 31, 1997, should not be relied upon.

    Capital Source L.P. was formed in August 1985 under the Delaware Revised 
Uniform Limited Partnership Act to invest principally in federally-insured 
mortgages on multifamily housing properties and to acquire, hold, sell, 
dispose of and otherwise deal with limited partnership interests ("Partnership 
Equity Investments") in the limited partnerships (the "Operating 
Partnerships") which construct and operate these properties.  The Registrant's 
investment objectives are to:  (i) achieve long-term capital appreciation 
through increases in the value of the Partnership Equity Investments; (ii) 
provide quarterly cash distributions to investors; (iii) provide investors 
with federal income tax deductions that may offset, in part, taxable cash 
distributions subsequent to the initial closing on Beneficial Assignment 
Certificates ("BACs") representing a beneficial assignment of limited 
partnership interests in the Registrant; (iv) provide the potential for 
increases in cash distributions from income from Operating Partnerships and 
sale of the multifamily housing properties; and (v) preserve and protect the 
Registrant's capital.  The Partnership originally intended to qualify the BACs 
for quotation on NASDAQ within 24 to 36 months after it commenced operations 
in order to make the BACs freely transferable.  However, at a Special Meeting 
of BAC Holders on May 17, 1990, an amendment to the Partnership Agreement was 
approved to only allow limited transferability of BACs to preserve the tax 
status of the Partnership and avoid being designated as a "publicly traded 
partnership".

	    A total of 3,374,222 BACs were sold at $20 per BAC for total capital 
contributions of $67,484,440 prior to the payment of certain organization and 
offering costs.

	    The Registrant originally acquired (i) five mortgage-backed securities 
(the "GNMA Certificates") guaranteed as to principal and interest by the 
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") collateralized by first 
mortgage loans on multifamily housing properties located in five states, (ii) 
three first mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (the 
"FHA Loans") on multifamily housing properties located in two states and (iii) 
Partnership Equity Investments in eight limited partnerships which own the 
multifamily housing properties financed by the GNMA Certificates and the FHA 
Loans.  The Partnership has been repaid by the FHA on one of its first 
mortgage loans.  The Partnership has also been repaid by GNMA on one of its 
GNMA Certificates.  The Partnership no longer holds a Partnership Equity 
Investment in the Operating Partnership which owned the property 
collateralizing the repaid GNMA Certificate.  Collectively, the remaining GNMA 
Certificates, the FHA Loans and the Partnership Equity Investments are 
referred to as the "Permanent Investments."  A description of the properties 
financed by the Registrant at December 31, 1997, appears in Item 7 hereof.  
The Partnership has also invested amounts held in its reserve account in 
certain GNMA securities backed by pools of single-family mortgages ("Reserve 
Investments").

     While principal of and interest on the GNMA Certificates and the FHA Loan 
are ultimately guaranteed by the United States government, the amount of cash 
distributions received by the Registrant from the Partnership Equity 
Investments is a function of the net rental revenues generated by the 
properties owned by the Operating Partnerships.  Net rental revenues from a 
multifamily apartment complex depend on the rental and occupancy rates of the 
property and on the level of operating expenses.  Occupancy rate and rents are 
directly affected by the supply of, and demand for, apartments in the market 
area in which a property is located.  This, in turn, is affected by several 
factors such as local or national economic conditions, the amount of new 
apartment construction and interest rates on single-family mortgage loans.  In 
addition, factors such as government regulation (such as zoning laws), 
inflation, real estate and other taxes, labor problems and natural disasters 
can affect the economic operations of a property.
<PAGE>                              - 1 -

     In each city in which the Registrant's properties are located, such 
properties compete with a substantial number of other apartment complexes.  
Apartment complexes also compete with single-family housing that is either 
owned or leased by potential tenants.  The principal method of competition is 
to offer competitive rental rates.  The Registrant's properties also compete 
by emphasizing regular maintenance and property amenities.

     The Registrant believes that each of its properties is in compliance in 
all material respects with federal, state and local regulations regarding 
hazardous waste and other environmental matters and the Registrant is not 
aware of any environmental contamination at any of such properties that would 
require any material capital expenditure by the Registrant for the remediation 
thereof.  

     The Registrant is engaged solely in the business of owning mortgages and 
holding equity interests in real estate limited partnerships.  Accordingly, 
the presentation of information about industry segments is not applicable and 
would not be material to an understanding of the Registrant's business taken 
as a whole.

	    The Registrant has one employee.  In addition to this employee, certain 
services are provided to the Registrant by employees of an affiliate of the 
managing general partner of the Registrant, and the Registrant reimburses such 
affiliate for such services at cost.  The Registrant is not charged and does 
not reimburse for the services performed by managers and officers of the 
managing general partner of the Registrant.

	    Item 2.  Properties.  The Registrant does not directly own or lease any 
physical properties.  However, by virtue of its interest in the Partnership 
Equity Investments in the Operating Partnerships, the Registrant indirectly 
owns up to a 99% interest in six multifamily apartment projects.  In addition, 
the Registrant owns a 30.29% interest in another multifamily apartment project 
known as The Ponds at Georgetown.  The multifamily apartment projects are 
described in the following table:

     In the opinion of the Partnership's management, each of the properties is 
adequately covered by insurance.  For additional information concerning the

which these properties are subject is included in Item 1 hereof.

	    Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.  No matter 
was submitted during the fourth quarter of 1997 to a vote of the Registrant's 
security holders.

	                                   PART II

	     Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder 
Matters.

		          (a)	Market Information.  The BACs are subject to 
     various transfer restrictions imposed to prevent the Registrant from being 
     treated as a publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes 
     and, accordingly, there is no public trading market for the BACs.

            In the event the General Partners have reason to believe that a 
     requested sale, transfer or assignment of BACs would cause the 
     Partnership to be characterized as a publicly traded partnership for 
     federal income tax purposes, the General Partners will, pursuant to their 
     powers under Section 5.09 of the Partnership Agreement, refuse to process 
     such requested sale, transfer or assignment unless the General Partners 
     receive an unqualified opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale, 
     transfer or assignment of BACs, would not cause the Partnership to be 
     characterized as a publicly traded partnership for federal income tax 
     purposes.  Neither the General Partners nor the Partnership may be held 
     liable for any losses resulting to a holder of BACs or a purchaser of 
     Units as a result of a requested sale, transfer or assignment of BACs not 
     being processed due to these limitations.




<PAGE>                               - 3 -

            The foregoing restrictions are intended to prevent the trading 
     volume of BACs from reaching a level that would cause the Partnership to 
     be characterized as a publicly traded partnership under Section 7704 of 
     the Code.  In the event the Partnership were characterized as a publicly 
     traded partnership, the Partnership could be subject to entity level 
     taxation.  In such event, amounts otherwise distributable to holders of 
     BACs would be used to satisfy federal income tax liabilities of the 
     Partnership and, thus, amounts received by holders of BACs would be less 
     than anticipated.

		          (b)	Investors.  The approximate number of BAC 
     Holders on December 31, 1997, was 5,822.

		          (c)	Distributions.  Cash distributions are paid on a quarterly 
     basis to the record holders of BACs as of the last day of each month.  
     Total cash distributions paid or accrued to BAC Holders during the fiscal 
     years ended December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, equaled $3,407,965 
     each year.  The cash distributions paid per BAC during the fiscal years 
     ended December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996 were as follows:

     Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership originally acquired:  (i) five mortgage-backed securities 
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the Government National Mortgage 
Association (GNMA) collateralized by first mortgage loans on multifamily 
housing properties located in five states; (ii) three first mortgage loans 
insured as to principal and interest by the Federal Housing Administration 
(FHA) on multifamily housing properties located in two states; and (iii) 
Partnership Equity Investments in eight limited partnerships which own the 
multifamily properties financed by the GNMA Certificates and FHA Loans.   The 
Partnership subsequently received FHA Debentures in payment of the FHA Loan on 
Fox Hollow Apartments which were paid in full in 1993.  In 1994, foreclosure 
proceedings were initiated on Falcon Point Apartments and, accordingly, the 
Partnership no longer holds a Partnership Equity Investment in this property.  
In addition, during 1995, the GNMA Certificate related to Falcon Point 
Apartments was paid-in-full to the Partnership.  Collectively, the remaining 
GNMA Certificates, FHA Loans and Partnership Equity Investments are referred 
to as the "Permanent Investments".  The Partnership has also invested amounts 
held in its reserve account in certain GNMA securities backed by pools of 
single-family mortgages (Reserve Investments).  The obligations of GNMA and 
FHA are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.

Distributions

Cash distributions paid or accrued per BAC were as follows:

</TABLE>


Regular quarterly distributions to BAC Holders consist primarily of interest 
received on FHA Loans and GNMA Certificates.  Additional cash for 
distributions is received from other temporary investments.  The Partnership 
may draw on reserves to pay operating expenses or to supplement cash 
distributions to BAC Holders.  The Partnership is permitted to replenish 
reserves with cash flows in excess of distributions paid.  For the year ended 
December 31, 1997, a net amount of $189,014 of undistributed cash flow was 
added to reserves.  The total amount held in reserves at December 31, 1997, 
was $10,787,058 of which $1,088,526 was invested in GNMA Certificates.

The Partnership believes that cash provided by operating and investing 
activities and, if necessary, withdrawals from the Partnership's reserves will 
be adequate to meet its short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, 
including the payments of distributions to BAC Holders.  Under the terms of 
the 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.  The 
Partnership is not authorized to issue additional BACs to meet short-term and 
long-term liquidity requirements.

Year 2000

The Partnership does not own or operate its own computer system and owns no 
business or other equipment.  However, the operation of the Partnership's 
business relies on the computer system and other equipment maintained by 
America First Companies L.L.C., the parent company of its general partners 
("America First").  In addition, the Partnership has business relationships 
with a number of third parties whose ability to perform their obligations to 
the Partnership depend on such systems and equipment.  Some or all of these 
systems and equipment may be affected by the inability of certain computer 
programs and embedded circuitry to correctly recognize dates occurring after 
December 31, 1999.  America First has adopted a plan to deal with this 
so-called "Year 2000 problem" with respect to its information technology 
("IT") systems, non-IT systems and third party business relationships.

State of Readiness

The IT system maintained by America First consists primarily of personal 
computers, most of which are connected by a local area network.  All 
accounting and other record keeping functions relating to the Partnership that 
are conducted in house by America First are performed on this PC-LAN system.  
America First does not own or operate any "mainframe" computer systems.  The 
PC-LAN system runs software programs that America First believes are 
compatible with dates after December 31, 1999.  America First has engaged a 
third party computer consulting firm to review and test its PC-LAN system to 
ensure that it will function correctly after that date and expects that this 
process, along with any necessary remediation, will be completed by March 31, 
1999.  America First believes any Year 2000 problems relating to its IT 
systems will resolved without significant operational difficulties.  However, 
there can be no assurance that testing will discover all potential Year 2000 
problems or that it will not reveal unanticipated material problems with the 
America First IT systems that will need to be resolved.

Non-IT systems include embedded circuitry such as microcontrollers found in 
telephone equipment, security and alarm systems, copiers, fax machines, mail 
room equipment, heating and air conditioning systems and other infrastructure 
systems that are used by America First in connection with the operation of the 
Partnership's business.  America First is reviewing its non-IT systems along 
with the providers that service and maintain these systems, with initial 
emphasis being placed on those, such as telephone systems, which have been 
identified as necessary to America First's ability to conduct the operation of 
the Partnership's business activities.  America First expects that any 
necessary modification or replacement of such "mission critical" systems will 
be accomplished by mid-1999.

The Partnership has no control over the remediation efforts of third parties 
with which it has material business relationships and the failure of certain 
of these third parties to successfully remediate their Year 2000 issues could 
have a material adverse effect on the Partnership.  Accordingly, America First 
has undertaken the process of contacting each such third party to determine 
the state of their readiness for Year 2000.  Such parties include, but are not 
limited to, the obligors on the Partnership's GNMA Certificates and FHA Loans, 
the Partnership's transfer and paying agent and the financial institutions 
with which the Partnership maintains accounts.  America First has received 
initial assurances from certain of these third parties that their ability to 
perform their obligations to the Partnership are not expected to be materially 
adversely affected by the Year 2000 problem.  America First will continue to 
request updated information from these material third parties in order to 
access their Year 2000 readiness.  If a material third party vendor is unable 
to provide assurance to America First that it is, or will be, ready for Year 
2000, America First intends to seek an alternative vendor to the extent 
practical.











<PAGE>                               - 6 -

Costs

All of the IT systems and non-IT systems used to conduct the Partnership's 
business operations are owned or leased by America First.  Under the terms of 
its partnership agreement, neither America First nor the Partnership's general 
partners may be reimbursed by the Partnership for expenses associated with 
their computer systems or other business equipment.  Therefore, the costs 
associated with the identification, remediation and testing of America First's 
IT and non-IT systems will be paid by America First rather than the 
Partnership.  The Partnership will bear its proportionate share of the costs 
associated with surveying the Year 2000 readiness of third parties.  However, 
the Partnership's share of the costs associated with these activities are 
expected to be insignificant.  Accordingly, the costs associated with 
addressing the Partnership's Year 2000 issues are not expected to have a 
material effect on the Partnership's results of operations, financial position 
or cash flow.

Year 2000 Risks

The Partnership's general partners believe that the most reasonably likely 
worst-case scenario will be that one or more of the third parties with which 
it has a material business relationship will not have successfully dealt with 
its Year 2000 issues and, as a result, is unable to provide services or 
otherwise perform its obligations to the Partnership.  For example, if an 
obligor on the Partnership's GNMA Certificates or FHA Loan encounters a 
serious and unexpected Year 2000 issue, it may be unable to make a timely 
payment of principal and interest to the Partnership.  This, in turn, could 
cause a delay or temporary reduction in cash distributions to BAC holders.  In 
addition, if the Partnership's transfer and paying agent experiences Year 
2000-related difficulties, it may cause delays in making distributions to BAC 
holders or in the processing of transfers of BACs.  It is also possible that 
one or more of the IT and non-IT systems of America First will not function 
correctly, and that such problems may make it difficult to conduct necessary 
accounting and other record keeping functions for the Partnership.  However, 
based on currently available information, the general partners do not believe 
that there will be any protracted systemic failures of the IT or non-IT 
systems utilized by America First in connection with the operation of the 
Partnership's business.

Contingency Plans

Because of the progress which America First has made toward achieving Year 
2000 readiness, the Partnership has not made any specific contingency plans 
with respect to the IT and non-IT systems of America First.  In the event of a 
Year 2000 problem with its IT system, America First may be required to 
manually perform certain accounting and other record-keeping functions.  
America First plans to terminate the Partnership's relationships with material 
third party service providers that are not able to represent to America First 
that they will be able to successfully resolve their material Year 2000 issues 
in a timely manner.  However, the Partnership will not be able to terminate 
its relationships with certain third parties, such as the obligors on its GNMA 
Certificates and FHA Loans, who may experience Year 2000 problems.  The 
Partnership has no specific contingency plans for dealing with Year 2000 
problems experienced with these third parties.

All forecasts, estimates or other statements in this report relating to the 
Year 2000 readiness of the Partnership and its affiliates are based on 
information and assumptions about future events.  Such "forward-looking 
statements" are subject to various known and unknown risks and uncertainties 
that may cause actual events to differ from such statements.  Important 
factors upon which the Partnership's Year 2000 forward-looking statements are 
based include, but are not limited to, (a) the belief of America First that 
the software used in IT systems is already able to correctly read and 
interpret dates after December 31, 1999 and will require little or any 
remediation; (b) the ability to identify, repair or replace mission critical 
non-IT equipment in a timely manner, (c) third parties' remediation of their 
internal systems to be Year 2000 ready and their willingness to test their 
systems interfaces with those of America First, (d) no third party system 
failures causing material disruption of telecommunications, data transmission, 
payment networks, government services, utilities or other infrastructure, (e) 
no unexpected failures by third parties with which the Partnership has a 
material business relationship and (f) no material undiscovered flaws in 
America First's Year 2000 testing process.

Asset Quality 

The FHA Loans and GNMA Certificates owned by the Partnership are guaranteed as 
to principal and interest by FHA and GNMA, respectively.  The obligations of 
FHA and GNMA are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States 
government.  The Partnership Equity Investments, however, are not insured or 
guaranteed.  The value of these investments is a function of the value of the 
real estate owned by the Operating Partnerships.  

The fair value of the properties underlying the Operating Partnerships is 
based on management's best estimate of the fair value of such properties, 
however; the ultimate realized values may vary from these estimates.  The fair 
value of the properties is determined based on the discounted estimated future 
cash flows from the properties, including estimated sales proceeds.  The 
calculation of discounted estimated future cash flows includes certain 
variables such as the assumed inflation rates for rents and expenses, 
capitalization rates and discount rates.  These variables are supplied to 
management by an independent real estate firm and are based on local market 
conditions for each property.  In certain cases, additional factors such as 
the replacement value of the property or comparable sales of similar 
properties are also taken into consideration.  

The following table shows the occupancy levels of the properties financed by 
the Partnership at December 31, 1997:

Bluff Ridge Apartments

Bluff Ridge Apartments is a 108-unit complex located in Jacksonville, North 
Carolina.  Average occupancy was 96% in 1997, compared to 94% in 1996.  
Operations at Bluff Ridge are heavily dependent on demand from the local 
military personnel.  The Jacksonville rental market has remained relatively 
stable throughout 1997.  An increase in operating revenue resulting from 
rental rate increases and an increase in average occupancy was virtually 
offset by an increase in property operating costs.  The increase in operating 
costs was largely due to property improvements made during the year.  As a 
result net cash generated by the property in 1997, excluding interest, 
approximated that of 1996.  The property was current on its debt service 
payments during 1997 and generated cash flow in excess of debt service.

Fox Hollow Apartments

Fox Hollow Apartments is a 184-unit apartment community located in High Point, 
North Carolina.  Average occupancy was 96% in 1997, compared to 95% in 1996.  
Excluding interest, net cash flow generated by Fox Hollow Apartments decreased 
approximately 12% from 1996 to 1997.  This decrease is primarily due to 
increases of approximately 27% in repairs and maintenance expenses and 
property improvements and 18% in property taxes which were partially offset by 
a slight increase in operating revenue.  Not withstanding the decrease in net 
cash flow, the property remained in compliance with the terms of the Loan 
Modification Agreement (LMA) entered into with a mortgage holder in 1996.  
While there can be no assurance that the modified terms of the Fox Hollow 
mortgage will enable the property to remain current on its mortgage 
obligations, the restructuring allows the Partnership to retain its 
Partnership Equity Investment in the Fox Hollow Apartments and improves the 
property's ability to make its required mortgage payments from operating cash 
flow.

Highland Park Apartments

Highland Park Apartments contains 252 luxury garden apartments and is located 
in Columbus, Ohio.  Average occupancy was 93% in 1997, compared to 95% in 
1996.  Excluding interest, net cash flow generated by Highland Park 
Apartments, increased approximately 7% from 1996 to 1997.  This increase is 
due to a 2% increase in operating revenue resulting from rental rate increases 
and a 5% decrease in real estate operating expenses, primarily property 
improvements.  The property remained current on its mortgage obligations 
throughout 1997 and generated cash flow in excess of debt service.

Misty Springs Apartments

Misty Springs Apartments is a 128-unit apartment community located in Daytona 
Beach, Florida.  Average occupancy was 98% in 1997, compared to 94% in 1996.  
The net cash flow generated by the property, excluding interest, was 
approximately 22% higher in 1997, compared to 1996, due to an increase of 
approximately 9% in operating revenue accompanied by a decrease of 
approximately 2% in real estate operating expenses.  The increase in operating 
revenue was due to the increase in average occupancy and rental rate 
increases.  Real estate operating expenses were lower primarily due to a 
decrease in property taxes.

At December 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership was in compliance with the 
terms of a Reinstatement Agreement entered into in 1993.  The Operating 
Partnership was current on its debt service payments on its mortgage loan 
during 1997. 

The Ponds at Georgetown

The Ponds at Georgetown consists of 134 apartments located in Ann Arbor, 
Michigan.  Average occupancy was 97% in 1997 compared to 95% in 1996.  
Operating revenue increased approximately 8% in 1997, compared to 1996, 
primarily due to the increase in average occupancy, rental rate increases and 
an increase in corporate unit rentals.  Despite the increase in operating 
revenue the Operating Partnership remains in default on its mortgage loan and 
is delinquent in paying property taxes and insurance.  The Partnership 
continues to explore a number of alternatives with the mortgage holder to 
determine the best course of action to pursue, including a possible 
restructuring of the mortgage loan.

Waterman's Crossing

Waterman's Crossing is a 260-unit apartment community located in Newport News, 
Virginia.  Average occupancy was 98% in 1997, compared to 96% in 1996.    The 
Operating Partnership remains current on its mortgage obligations; however 
shortfalls of $95,000 were funded by Partnership reserves in 1997.  An 
increase in operating revenue resulting from an increase in average occupancy 
and rental rate increases was virtually offset by an increase in repairs and 
maintenance expenses and property improvements.  As a result, net cash flow 
generated by the property in 1997, excluding interest, approximated that of 
1996.

Water's Edge Apartments

Water's Edge Apartments is a 108-unit apartment complex located in Lake Villa, 
Illinois.  Average occupancy was 96% in 1997, compared to 91% in 1996.  The 
property's net cash flow, excluding interest, increased approximately 5% in 
1997 compared to 1996.  This increase resulted from a 7% increase in operating 
revenue due to the increase in average occupancy and rental rate increases 
which was partially offset by a 10% increase in real estate operating 
expenses, primarily real estate taxes.  The Operating Partnership remained 
current on its mortgage obligations in 1997.

</TABLE>

Mortgage-backed securities income decreased $38,020 from 1996 to 1997. The 
decrease was due to the continued amortization of the principal balances of 
the Partnership's mortgage-backed securities.

Mortgage-backed securities income decreased $554,728 from 1995 to 1996, 
primarily due to payoff of the GNMA Certificate related to Falcon Point 
Apartments in November 1995.  

Interest on temporary cash investments and U.S. government securities 
increased $30,968 from 1996 to 1997 due to an increase in the Partnership's 
cash reserve as additional cash was placed in reserves during 1996 and 1997. 
Interest on temporary cash investments and U.S. government securities 
increased $330,379 from 1995 to 1996.  This increase is the result of 
investing proceeds received from the payoff of the GNMA Certificate related to 
Falcon Point Apartments in November 1995 and to additions made to the 
Partnership's reserves during 1996.

The recognition of equity in losses of Operating Partnerships have been 
suspended, limited to the extent distributions are received and capital 
investments are made.

The Partnership made additional investments in certain Operating Partnerships 
of $178,550, $334,745 and $255,500 during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  
During 1996, the Partnership received a distribution of $77,233 from one of 
the Operating Partnerships.  The Partnership recorded equity in losses of 
Operating Partnerships for 1997, 1996, and 1995 to the extent of the 
additional investments in Operating Partnerships, net of distributions 
received.

Operating and administrative expenses increased $203,581 from 1996 to 1997.  
This increase was due to: (i) an increase of approximately $137,000 in 
salaries and related expenses, and (ii) an increase of approximately $44,000 
in professional fees incurred in connection with a review of various options 
available to the Partnership to improve total investment returns and provide 
liquidity to the Partnerhip's investors and (iii) an increase of approximately 
$23,000 in other operating and administrative expenses.  Operating and 
administrative expenses increased $64,188 from 1995 to 1996 primarily due to 
increases in salaries and related expenses.

directors or officers.  None of the directors or officers of the General 
Partners or the managers or officers of America First receive compensation 
from the Registrant and neither General Partner receives reimbursement from 
the Registrant for any portion of their salaries.  Remuneration paid by the 
Registrant to the General Partners pursuant to the terms of its agreement of 
limited partnership during the period ending December 31, 1997, is described 
in Note 7 to the Notes to the Financial Statements filed in response to Item 8 
hereof.

	    Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.  

     (a) No person is known by Registrant to own beneficially more than 5% of 
the BACs.

	    (b)	No director or officers of the General Partners or managers or 
officers of America First own any BACs.

     (c) There are no arrangements known to the Registrant, the operation of 
which may at any subsequent date result in a change of control of the 
Registrant.

	    Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.  The members of 
the America First General Partner are America First Companies L.L.C. and Mr. 
Yanney.  The IME General Partner is owned by America First.  Except as 
described herein, the Registrant is not a party to any transaction or proposed 
transaction with either General Partner or with any person who is:  (i) a 
member, director, or officer of the General Partners or manager or officer of 
America First; (ii) a nominee for election as a director or manager of a 
General Partner or a manager of America First; (iii) an owner of more than 5%

partnership administrative fee equal to 0.5% of invested assets per annum, 
payable only during such years that an 8% return has been paid to investors on 
a noncumulative basis.  Any unpaid amounts will accrue and be payable only 
after a 13% annual return to investors has been paid on a cumulative basis and 
the investors have received the return of their capital contributions.  During 
1997, distributions to investors represented less than an 8% return; 
accordingly, no fees were paid or accrued during 1997.

been retained to provide property management services with respect to the 
day-to-day operation of Waterman's Crossing, Misty Springs, Fox Hollow

provide that the Manager is entitled to receive a management fee equal to a 
stated percentage of the gross revenues generated by the property under 
management.  Management fees payable to the Manager range from 3% to 5% of 
gross revenues.  Because the Manager is an affiliate of the General Partners, 
the management fees payable by the Registrant to the Manager may not exceed 
the lesser of (i) the rates that the Registrant would pay an unaffiliated 
manager for similar services in the same geographic location or (ii) the 
Manager's actual cost for providing such services.  During the year ended 
December 31, 1997, the Registrant paid the Manager property management fees of

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Partners
Capital Source L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Capital Source L.P. as of 
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of income, partners' 
capital (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 1997.  These financial statements are the responsibility of 
the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements based on our audits.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatements.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of Capital Source L.P.  as of 
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2.H., the accompanying financial statements have been 
restated to reflect the investments made by Capital Source L.P. in Operating 
Partnerships on the equity method of accounting.  Such investments had 
previously been consolidated by Capital Source L.P..

CAPITAL SOURCE L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997

1.	Organization

Capital Source L.P. (the Partnership) was formed on August 22, 1985, under the 
Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  The General Partners of  
the Partnership are Insured Mortgage Equities Inc. and America First Capital 
Source I, L.L.C. (the General Partners).  


The Partnership was formed to invest principally in federally-insured 
mortgages on multifamily housing properties and limited partnership interests 
in the operating partnerships which construct and operate these properties.  
Each federally insured loan is guaranteed in amounts equal to the face amount 
of the mortgage, by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the Government 
National Mortgage Association (GNMA)  Hereinafter, the Partnership's 
investments in such mortgages are referred to as investments in 
mortgage-backed securities.  The Operating Partnerships are geographically 
located as follows:  (i) two in North Carolina; and, (ii) one each in Ohio, 
Florida, Michigan, Virginia and Illinois.

CS Properties I, Inc., which is owned by the General Partners, serves as the 
Special Limited Partner for the Operating Partnerships.  The Special Limited 
Partner has the power, among other things, to remove the general partners of 
the Operating Partnerships under certain circumstances and to consent to the 
sale of the Operating Partnerships' assets.  CS Properties I, Inc. also serves 
as the general partner of Misty Springs Apartments, Waterman's Crossing and 
Fox Hollow Apartments.

The Partnership will terminate subsequent to the sale of all properties but in 
no event will the Partnership continue beyond December 31, 2030.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 A) Financial Statement Presentation
    The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the accrual 
    basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
    principles.

				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 Mortgage-Backed Securities
    Investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity, 
    available-for-sale, or trading.  Investments classified as 
    held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost.  Investments classified as 
    available-for-sale are reported at fair value, as determined by reference 
				to published sources.  Any unrealized gains or losses are excluded from 
				earnings and reflected as a separate component of partners' capital.  
				Subsequent increases and decreases in the net unrealized gain/loss on the
			 available-for-sale securities are reflected as adjustments to the carrying
			 value of the portfolio and adjustments to the component of partners' 
				capital.  The Partnership does not have investment securities classified 
				as trading.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

	C)	Investment in Operating Partnerships    
    The investment in Operating Partnerships consists of interests in limited
    partnerships which own properties underlying the mortgage-backed securities
    and are accounted for using the equity method.  The investments 
				by the Partnership in the Operating Partnership were recorded at the cost 
				to acquire such interests.  Subsequently losses were recorded by the 
				Partnership as they were realized by the Operating Partnerships.  The 
				Partnerships suspended recognizing losses in the Operating Partnerships 
				when its entire initial investment had been consumed by such losses.  
				Subsequently, losses have been recognized only to the extent of additional 
				contributions net of distribution received,  to the Operating Partnerships
			 by the Partnership.  The	Operating Partnerships are not insured or 
				guaranteed.  The value of these investments is a function of the value of
			 the real estate underlying the Operating Partnerships.  With regard to the
			 Operating Partnerships, the Partnership has no legal obligation to provide
			 additional cash support as they are not the general partner, nor have they
			 indicated any commitment to provide this support; accordingly they have 
				not reduced their investment in these operating partnerships below zero.

 D) Income Taxes
    No provision has been made for income taxes since BAC Holders are required 
    to report their share of the Partnership's income for federal and state 
    income tax purposes.  The book basis of the Partnerships' assets and 
    liabilities exceeded the tax basis by $9,517,551 and $8,336,381 at 
    December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, respectively.

 E)	Temporary Cash Investments
    Temporary cash investments are invested in short-term debt securities 
    purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

 F) Net Income per Beneficial Assignment Certificate (BAC)
    Net income per BAC is based on the number of BACs outstanding (3,374,222) 
    during each year presented.

 G) New Accounting Pronouncement
    The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Financial Accounting 
    Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128).  FAS 128, which is 
    effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997, did not have an 
    impact on the Partnership's computation, presentation or disclosure of 
    earnings per BAC as no dilutive common share equivalents existed at 
    December 31, 1997.

 H) Restatement
    The Partnership holds a majority ownership interest and through CS 
    Properties I, Inc. can influence the decisions of the general partners of 
    the Operating Partnerships in certain circumstances.  Accordingly, the 
    Partnership had consolidated the Operating Partnerships since inception.  
    In 1998, it was determined that this influence did not constitute control 
    of the Operating Partnerhips.  Therefore, the accompanying financial 
    statements have been restated to deconsolidate the Operating Partnerships 
    and to account for the investments in Operating Partnerships under the 
    equity method of accounting rather than consolidation.

    Under the equity method of accounting, the Partnership's investments are 
    adjusted to reflect its share of Operating Partnership profits or losses 
				and distributions.  As required by consolidation accounting, the Partner-
				ship had recorded losses from the Operating Partnerships substantially in
			 excess of its investments.  As previously disclosed, the Partnership
			 is not the general partner, nor is it obliged to fund the negative balances.
		  Under equity accounting, the Partnership does not reduce the carrying value
			 of its investments below zero.  As restated, investments in the Operating 
    Partnerships are reflected at zero and profits and losses are recorded 
				based on capital contributions made and distributions received from the 
				Operating Partnerships.

                                                                      ===============
</TABLE>

The reserve account was established to maintain working capital for the 
Partnership and is available for distribution to BAC Holders and for any 
contingencies related to mortgage-backed securities and the operation of the 
Partnership.  See Note 5 regarding the investment in mortgage backed 
securities.

4.  Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions

Profits and losses from continuing operations and cash available for 
distribution will be allocated 99% to the investors and 1% to the General 
Partners.  Certain fees payable to the General Partners will not become due 
until investors have received certain priority returns.  Cash distributions 
included in the financial statements represent the actual cash distributions 
made during each year and the change in cash distributions accrued at the end 
of each year.

The General Partners will also receive 1% of the net proceeds from any sale 
of Partnership assets.  The General Partners will receive a termination fee 
equal to 3% of all sales proceeds less actual costs incurred in connection 
with all sales transactions, payable only after the investors have received a 
return of their capital contributions and a 13% annual return on a cumulative 
basis.  The General Partners will also receive a fee equal to 9.1% of all 
cash available for distribution and sales proceeds (after deducting from cash 
available or sales proceeds any termination fee paid therefrom) after 
investors have received a return of their capital contributions and a 13% 
annual return on a cumulative basis.

5.	Investment in Mortgage-Backed Securities

The mortgage-backed securities held by the Partnership represent Government 
National Mortgage Association (GNMA) Certificates and Federal Housing 
Administration (FHA) Loans. The GNMA Certificates are backed by first mortgage 
loans on multifamily housing properties and pools of single-family 
properties.  The GNMA Certificates are debt securities issued by a private 
mortgage lender and are guaranteed by GNMA as to the full and timely payment 
of principal and interest on the underlying loans.  The FHA Loans are 
guaranteed as to the full and timely payment of principal and interest on the 
underlying loans.

At December 31, 1997, the total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding 
gains, and aggregate fair value of available-for-sale securities were 
$1,044,910, $43,616 and $1,088,526, respectively.  The total amortized cost, 
gross unrealized holding gains and aggregate fair value of held-to-maturity 
securities were $35,010,659, $491,651 and $35,502,310, respectively.

At December 31, 1996, the total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding 
gains, and aggregate fair value of available-for-sale securities were 
$1,285,894, $41,502 and $1,327,396, respectively.  The total amortized cost, 
gross unrealized holding gains and aggregate fair value of held-to-maturity 
securities were $35,196,154, $369,253 and $35,565,407, respectively.

Prior to June 30, 1995, the Partnership classified all investment securities 
as held-to-maturity.  However, during the quarter ending June 30, 1995, the 
Partnership reassessed the appropriateness of the classification of securities 
held in the reserve account.  The Partnership concluded, given the nature of 
the reserve account, it would be more appropriate to classify securities held 
in the reserve account as available-for-sale rather than as held-to-maturity.  
Accordingly, on June 30, 1995, the Partnership transferred all securities held 
in the reserve account from the held-to-maturity classification to the 
available-for-sale classification.  The total amortized cost, gross unrealized 
holding gains and aggregate fair value of the securities transferred were 
$2,740,792, $57,052 and $2,797,844, respectively.

Descriptions of the Partnership's mortgage-backed securities held during the 
year ended December 31, 1997, are as follows:

7.	Transactions with Related Parties

The General Partners, certain of their affiliates and the Operating 
Partnerships' general partners have received or may receive fees, 
compensation, income, distributions and payments from the Partnership in 
connection with the offering and the investment, management and sale of the 
Partnership's assets (other than disclosed elsewhere) as follows.

The General Partners are entitled to receive an asset management and 
partnership administration fee equal to 0.5% of invested assets per annum, 
payable only during such years that an 8% return has been paid to investors on 
a noncumulative basis.  Any unpaid amounts will accrue and be payable only 
after a 13% annual return to investors has been paid on a cumulative basis and 
the investors have received the return of their capital contributions.  For 
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, distributions to investors 
represented less than an 8% return; accordingly, no fees were paid or accrued 
during these years.

Substantially all of the Partnership's general and administrative expenses and 
certain costs capitalized by the Partnership are paid by a General Partner or 
an affiliate and reimbursed by the Partnership.  The amount of such expenses 
reimbursed to the General Partner was $533,419, $347,522, and $309,826 for the 
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  These reimbursed 
expenses are presented on a cash basis and do not reflect accruals made at 
each year end.

OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS CASH FLOW

An affiliate of the General Partners has been retained to provide property 
management services for Waterman's Crossing, Misty Springs Apartments, Fox 
Hollow Apartments (beginning in June 1995) and The Ponds at Georgetown 
(beginning in November 1996).  The fees for services provided were $183,069, 
$165,721 and $136,529 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and represented 
the lower of costs incurred in providing management of the property or 
customary fees for such services determined on a competitive basis.  

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in 
estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

  Cash and temporary cash investments, interest receivable, other assets, 		
		accounts payable, distributions payable:  Fair value approximates the 
		carrying value of such assets.

  Investment in FHA Loans and GNMA Certificates:  Fair values are based on 
  prices obtained from an independent pricing source, adjusted for estimated 
		prepayments.
