AMERICA FIRST PARTICIPATING/PREFERRED EQUITY MORTGAGE FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
America First Participating/Preferred Equity Mortgage Fund (the Fund) was
formed on November 20, 1986, as a Nebraska general partnership for the purpose
of acquiring a portfolio of federally-insured multifamily mortgages or other
investments including preferred equity participations (PEPs). PEPs consist
of equity interests which are intended to provide the Fund with a
participation in the net cash flow and net sale or refinancing proceeds of the
properties collateralizing the mortgage loans. America First
Participating/Preferred Equity Mortgage Fund Limited Partnership (the
Partnership) was also formed on November 20, 1986, under the Delaware Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act to serve as the managing general partner of
the Fund. The Fund and the Partnership will continue in existence until
December 31, 2036, unless terminated earlier under the provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement forming the Fund and the Partnership Agreement
forming the Partnership. The General Partner of the Partnership is America
First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Three (AFCA 3).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A)Financial Statement Presentation
The financial statements include the combined statements of the Fund and
the Partnership and have been prepared without audit. The combined
financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Fund's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at
June 30, 1996, and results of operations for all periods presented have
been made.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
B)Investments in Mortgage-Backed Securities, U.S. Government Securities and
Participating Loans
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 with any unrealized gains or losses 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 Fund does not have investment securities classified as
trading.
The investment in Participating Loans is recorded at cost and reduced by
principal payments received. Participating Loans are not insured or
guaranteed. The value of these investments is a function of the value of
the real estate collateralizing the Participating Loans. Interest income on
Participating Loans is excluded from income when, in the opinion of
management, collection of such interest is doubtful. This interest is
recognized as income when it is received.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
C)Investment in Preferred Equity Participations (PEPs)
The investment in PEPs consist of interests in limited partnerships which
own the properties underlying the mortgage-backed securities and are
accounted for using the equity method. PEPs are not insured or guaranteed.
The value of these investments is a function of the value of the real estate
underlying the PEPs.
D)Allowance for Losses on Investment in PEPs and Participating Loans
The allowance for losses on investments in PEPs is a valuation reserve
which has been established at a level that management feels is adequate to
absorb potential losses on investments in PEPs. The allowance is based on
the fair value of the properties underlying the PEPs.
The allowance for losses on Participating Loans is a valuation reserve
which has been established at a level that management feels is adequate to
absorb potential losses on outstanding loans. Reserves are established for
loans which management considers impaired. Loans are considered impaired
when it is probable that the Fund will be unable to collect amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. Based on this
analysis, all Participating Loans were considered impaired at
June 30, 1996. A reserve is established for the difference between the
recorded investment in the Participating Loans and the fair value of the
underlying collateral.
The allowances are periodically reviewed and adjustments are made to the
allowances when there are significant changes in the estimated net
realizable value of the properties underlying the PEPs or the underlying
collateral for the loans.
E)Investment in Real Estate
The investment in real estate is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated
net realizable value at the date of acquisition.
F)Depreciation
Depreciation of real estate acquired in settlement of PEPs is based on the
estimated useful life of the properties (ranging from 6 to 27 1/2 years)
using the straight-line method.
G)Income Taxes
No provision has been made for income taxes since each Exchangeable Unit
Holder or Passthrough Certificate Holder is required to report their share
of the Partnership's or Fund's income for federal and state income tax
purposes.
H)Temporary Cash Investments
Temporary cash investments are invested in short-term debt securities
purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
I)Investment Evaluation Fees
The investment evaluation fees were incurred in connection with the
acquisition of assets. These fees are being amortized over the life of the
Fund.
J)Net Income Per Exchangeable Unit and Passthrough Certificate
Net income per Exchangeable Unit and Passthrough Certificate is allocated
based on the weighted average number of exchangeable units and passthrough
certificates outstanding during each period presented.

K)New Accounting Pronouncement
On January 1, 1996, the Fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 (FAS 121) "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". Among other things,
FAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an
asset may not be recoverable. The adoption of FAS 121 did not have a
material impact on the combined financial statements.
3. Fund and Partnership Income, Expenses and Cash Distributions
The Partnership Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement contain
provisions for distributing the cash available for distribution and for the
allocation of income and expenses for tax purposes among AFCA 3 and investors.
Cash distributions included in the combined financial statements represent the
actual cash distributions made during each period and the cash distributions
accrued at the end of each period.
4. Investment in Mortgage-Backed Securities
The mortgage-backed securities held by the Partnership represent Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA) Certificates and Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA) Certificates. The GNMA Certificates are backed by
first mortgage loans on multifamily residential properties and pools of single-
family properties. The FNMA Certificates are backed by 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 FNMA Certificates are
debt securities issued by FNMA and are guaranteed by FNMA as to the full and
timely payment of principal and interest on the underlying loans.
At June 30, 1996, the total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains
and aggregate fair value of held-to-maturity securities were $14,823,631,
$529,575 and $15,353,206, respectively.

The reserve account was established to maintain working capital for the Fund
and is available to supplement distributions to investors and for any
contingencies related to the ownership of the investments and the operation of
the Fund. The GNMA Certificates mature between 2008 and 2023 and the FNMA
Certificates mature in 2000.
At June 30, 1996, the total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding
gains, gross unrealized holding losses and the aggregate fair value of
available-for-sale securities were $24,710,674, $428,423, $468,678 and
$24,670,419 respectively.
On September 12, 1990, June 7, 1995 and July 25, 1995, management announced
its intent to utilize a portion of the reserve account to acquire a maximum of
200,000 Exchangeable Units (Units) in the over-the-counter market. Through
June 30, 1996, 180,010 Units (19,750 during the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996) had been acquired at a total cost of $1,691,601 ($162,219
during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996).

9. Transactions with Related Parties
Substantially all of the Fund's general and administrative expenses are paid
by AFCA 3 or an affiliate and reimbursed by the Fund. The amount of such
expenses reimbursed to AFCA 3 during 1996 was $406,876 ($145,540 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996). The reimbursed expenses are presented on a cash
basis and do not reflect accruals made at quarter end.
AFCA 3 is entitled to an administrative fee of .35% per annum of the
outstanding amount of investments of the Fund to be paid by the Fund to the
extent such amount is not paid by property owners. During 1996, AFCA 3 earned
administrative fees of $119,334 ($59,258 for the quarter ended June 30,
1996). Of this amount, $84,937 ($57,420 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996)
was paid by the Fund and the remainder was paid by property owners.
An affiliate of AFCA 3 has been retained to provide property management
services for Morrowood Townhouses, Avalon Ridge and Harmony Bay Apartments.
The fees for services provided represent the lower of: (i) costs incurred in
providing management of the property; or, (ii) customary fees for such
services determined on a competitive basis. Total fees amounted to $86,052 in
1996 ($43,468 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996).
10. Mortgage Notes Payable
The Fund assumed the following mortgage notes payable as a result of the
acquisition of real estate in settlement of PEPs.

These notes are payable to an unaffiliated party and are collateralized solely
by the foregoing properties. The notes are in default; however, the Fund
effectively has no risk with respect to the mortgage notes payable since the
Fund's net equity in the properties has previously been reduced to zero.
Therefore, for accounting purposes, the Fund records interest expense on these
notes only when it is paid.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Fund originally acquired: (i) ten 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 seven states, GNMA Certificates backed by pools of
single-family mortgages (the GNMA Certificates); (ii) a first mortgage loan
insured by the Federal Housing Administration (the FHA Loan) on a retirement
living center located in California; (iii) limited partnership interests
(PEPs) in eleven limited partnerships which own the multifamily properties
financed by the GNMA Certificates and the FHA Loan; and (iv) two participating
first mortgage loans (the Participating Loans) on multifamily housing
properties financed in part by an affiliated mortgage fund. The FHA Loan and
six of the GNMA Certificates collateralized by multifamily properties have
been repaid which left the Fund with only the PEPs on these properties. Under
the terms of the limited partnership agreements for the PEPs, the Fund has
removed the general partners of seven of the limited partnerships owning
multifamily properties. In three cases, the Fund acquired the general
partners' interest in the limited partnerships in addition to its PEP.
Accordingly, the Fund became the indirect owner of the entire equity interest
in these properties and began accounting for them as investments in real
estate (the "Real Estate Interests"). One of these properties was foreclosed
upon by GNMA in 1989 and, therefore, the Fund no longer holds an interest in
this property. In the remaining four limited partnerships, a substitute
limited partner was admitted and acquired a portion of the removed general
partner's interest. The Fund continued to own PEPs in these properties until
1995 when Casa Sandoval was sold in foreclosure and the Fund withdrew as the
limited partner from Moonraker Apartments. As a result of the foregoing, the
Fund continues to hold four GNMA Certificates, six PEPs, two Real Estate
Interests and two Participating Loans.
The following table shows the occupancy levels of the properties financed by
the Fund in which the Fund continues to hold an interest at June 30, 1996:

============= ============= ============= =============
</TABLE>
Regular monthly distributions to investors consist primarily of interest and
principal received on mortgage-backed securities. Additional cash for
distributions is received from PEPs and other investments. The Fund may draw
on reserves to pay operating expenses or to supplement cash distributions to
investors. The Fund is permitted to replenish its reserves through the sale
or refinancing of assets. During 1996, a net amount of $1,263,071 ($861,010
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996) of undistributed mortgage principal
payments was placed in reserves. In addition, during the quarter ended June
30, 1996, the Partnership withdrew $162,219 from reserves to purchase 19,750
Exchangeable Units (Units). The total amount held in reserves at June 30,
1996, was $32,280,614 of which $24,670,419 was invested in GNMA and FNMA
Certificates.
The Fund believes that cash provided by operating and investing activities
and, if necessary, withdrawals from the Fund's reserves will be adequate to
meet its short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including the
payments of distributions to investors. The Fund has no other internal or
external sources of liquidity. Under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
agreement, the Fund is not authorized to enter into short-term or long-term
debt financing arrangements or issue additional Units or Certificates to meet
short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.
Asset Quality
The Fund continues to receive the full amount of monthly principal and
interest payments on its GNMA and FNMA Certificates. The GNMA and FNMA
Certificates are fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by GNMA and
FNMA, respectively. The obligations of GNMA are backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States government.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
PEPs and Participating Loans, however, are not insured or guaranteed. The
value of these investments is a function of the value of the real estate
underlying the PEPs or collateralizing the Participating Loans. It is the
policy of the management of the Fund to make a periodic review of the real
estate underlying the PEPs or collateralizing the Participating Loans in order
to establish, when necessary, valuation reserves on investments in PEPs and
Participating Loans. The allowance for losses on investments in PEPs is based
on the fair value of the properties underlying the PEPs. A reserve for the
Participating Loans is established for the difference between the recorded
investment in the Participating Loans and the fair value of the underlying
collateral. The fair value of the properties underlying the PEPs and the
collateral for the Participating Loans is based on management's best estimate
of the net realizable value of such properties; however, the ultimate realized
values may vary from these estimates. The allowances are periodically
reviewed and adjustments are made to the allowances when there are significant
changes in the estimated net realizable value of the properties underlying the
PEPs or the underlying collateral for the loans. Internal property valuations
and reviews performed during 1996 indicated that the investment in PEPs and
Participating Loans recorded on the balance sheet at June 30, 1996, required
no adjustments to current carrying amounts.
The overall status of the Fund's Permanent Investments has remained relatively
constant since March 31, 1996.

============== ============== ==============
</TABLE>
The decrease in mortgage and mortgage-backed securities income for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same periods in 1995, is
due to the continued amortization of the principal balances of the
mortgage-backed securities.
Equity in earnings of property partnerships is a function of the cash flow
received by the Fund from its PEP interests in the operating partnerships
which own certain of the properties as well as the Fund's allocable share of
earnings generated by these properties. Equity in earnings of property
partnerships increased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996,
compared to the same periods in 1995, due primarily to an increase in earnings
generated by Grand Villa. This increase in earnings was due to a significant
increase in Grand Villa's average occupancy.
The decrease in interest income on Participating Loans for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same periods in 1995, is
attributable to the Fund recording income on the Avalon Ridge property when it
is received. The rate of interest received, which is lower than the base
interest rate, fluctuates with the cash flow generated by this property.
Rental income, net of real estate operating expenses and depreciation, from
the properties acquired by the Fund in settlement of PEPs increased by $11,049
for the quarter and $4,429 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to
the same periods in 1995. This increase resulted from an increase in rental
income resulting from an increase in average occupancy and a decrease in
depreciation expense partially offset by higher real estate operating expenses
due primarily to increases in repairs and maintenance expenses, property
improvements, real estate taxes and utility expenses. The increase in net
rental income was entirely offset by increases in interest paid by the Fund on
the mortgage loans it has assumed on these properties. Since interest is paid
only to the extent of available cash flow from these properties, the Fund
records more interest expense as such cash flow increases.

AND
AMERICA FIRST PARTICIPATING/PREFERRED EQUITY MORTGAGE FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Interest income on temporary cash investments decreased by $4,483 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995, primarily
due to the investment in U.S. government securities during 1995 earning a
higher rate of interest. The U.S. government securities were purchased on
March 30, 1995 and matured March 31, 1996.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June
30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995, was due to increases in:
(i) salaries and related expenses of approximately $30,000; (ii) professional
fees of approximately $7,000; (iii) other administrative expenses of
approximately $9,000; offset by a decrease of approximately $5,000 in
administrative fees paid to the general partner. The increase in general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to
the same period in 1995, is due to increases in: (i) salaries and related
expenses of approximately $61,000; (ii) professional fees of approximately
$14,000; and (iii) other general and administrative expenses of approximately
$13,000; offset by a decrease of approximately $24,000 in administrative fees
paid to the general partner due to the property owners incurring more of such
fees.
