PART I


ITEM 1.                      BUSINESS

Capital Realty Investors-IV Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was formed under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on December 7, 1983.  On June 13, 1984, the Partnership commenced offering 75,000 units of additional limited partner interest through a public offering managed by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated.  The Partnership closed the offering on August 31, 1984, at which time 73,500 units of additional limited partnership interest had become subscribed.  As of December 31, 2010, 163 units of additional limited partner interest had been abandoned.

The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (“CRI”), which is the Managing General Partner, and current and former shareholders of CRI.  Services for the Partnership are performed by CRI, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.

The Partnership was formed to invest in real estate, which is the Partnership's principal business activity, by acquiring and holding limited partner interests in limited partnerships (“Local Partnerships”).  The Partnership originally made investments in 47 Local Partnerships.  As of December 31, 2010, the Partnership retained investments in six Local Partnerships.  Each of these Local Partnerships owns either a federal or state government-assisted apartment complex, which provides housing principally to the elderly and/or to individuals and families of low or moderate income, or a conventionally financed apartment complex.  The original objectives of these investments, not necessarily in order of importance, were to:

(i)
 
preserve and protect the Partnership's capital;
(ii)
 
provide, during the early years of the Partnership's operations, current tax benefits to the partners in the form of tax losses which the partners could use to offset income from other sources;
(iii)
 
provide capital appreciation through increases in the value of the Partnership's investments and increased equity through periodic payments on the indebtedness of the apartment complexes; and
(iv)
 
provide cash distributions from sale or refinancing of the Partnership's investments and, on a limited basis, from rental operations.

See Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for a discussion of factors affecting the original investment objectives.

The Local Partnerships in which the Partnership invested were organized by private developers who acquired the sites, or options thereon, applied for mortgage financing and applicable mortgage insurance and/or subsidies and who generally remain as the local general partners in the Local Partnerships.  In most cases, the local general partners of the Local Partnerships retain responsibility for maintaining, operating and managing the projects.  However, under certain circumstances, the Local Partnerships' partnership agreements permit removal of the local general partner and replacement with another local general partner or with an affiliate of the Partnership's Managing General Partner.


I-1
 
 

 


PART I


ITEM 1.                      BUSINESS - Continued

As a result of its investment in the Local Partnerships, the Partnership became the principal limited partner in 44 (five remaining as of December 31, 2010) Local Partnerships.   As a limited partner, the Partnership's legal liability for obligations of the Local Partnerships is limited to its investment.  In another three (one remaining as of December 31, 2010) Local Partnerships which are general partnerships, the Partnership invested as a limited partner in intermediary partnerships which, in turn, invested as general partners in the Local Partnerships.  In all cases, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership is also a general partner of the ten Local Partnerships and one intermediary partnership.  The local general partners and affiliates of the Managing General Partner may operate other apartment complexes which may be in competition for eligible tenants with the Local Partnerships' apartment complexes.

The loan encumbering the property associated with the Partnership’s investment in Madison Square is in default.  As of December 31, 2010, the Local Partnership had received notice from the lender of its intent to foreclose on the property.  Accordingly, the Partnership’s basis, which totaled $0 at both December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, has been reclassified to investment in partnerships held for sale or transfer in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  (Acquisition fees and property purchase costs totaled $0 at both December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009).  The Partnership is not anticipating any loss resulting from the change in ownership.  There can be no assurance as to the ultimate timing of the foreclosure sale and/or transfer of ownership of the property.

The loan encumbering the property associated with the Partnership’s investment in Westport Village is in default.  The Managing General Partner of the Local Partnership was unable to reach an agreement with the Illinois Housing Development Authority (“IHDA”) to a mortgage restructuring.  IHDA has provided notice of foreclosure sale.  As of December 31, 2010, Westport Village is in receivership pending a foreclosure sale of the property.  Accordingly, the Partnership’s basis in the Local Partnership, which totaled $0 at both December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, has been reclassified to investment in partnerships held for sale or transfer in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.   (Acquisition fees and property purchase costs totaled $0 at both December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.)  The Partnership’s non-recourse purchase money notes and accrued interest thereon total $840,000 and $2,933,725, respectively, at December 31, 2010 relating to this property.  The Partnership is not anticipating any loss resulting from the change in ownership.  There can be no assurance as to the ultimate timing of the foreclosure sale and/or transfer of ownership of the property.

The amounts provided are the balances of first mortgage loans payable by the Local Partnerships as of December 31, 2010.
The Section 8 HAP contract expiration date reflects an extension from the original expiration date, in accordance with Federal legislation.
The totals for the percentage of units occupied and the average annual rental per unit are based on a simple average.
 
Effective July 15, 2010, the Partnership’s interest in Pilgrim Tower East was transferred to the purchase money noteholder as satisfaction of the note.  See the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information  concerning the transfer.

ITEM 5.                  MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
AND RELATED PARTNERSHIP MATTERS

 
(a)
There is no established market for the purchase and sale of units of additional limited partner interest (Units) in the Partnership, although various informal secondary market services may exist.  Due to the limited markets, however, investors may be unable to sell or otherwise dispose of their Units.

On January 28, 2009, Peachtree Partners (Peachtree) initiated an unregistered tender offer to purchase up to 4.9% of the outstanding Units in the Partnership at a price of $60 per Unit.  Aside from Limited Partner interests held by its affiliates in the Partnership, Peachtree is unaffiliated with the Partnership or the Managing General Partner.  The price offered was determined solely at the discretion of Peachtree and did not necessarily represent the fair market value of each Unit.

 
(b)
As of April 14, 2011, there were approximately 4,478 registered holders of Units in the Partnership.

 
(c)
On July 30, 2010, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $2,200,110 ($30 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of July 1, 2010.

On May 17, 2009, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $1,858,483 ($25 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of May 17, 2009, of which, in June 2009, $1,268,386 was paid to the Limited Partners.  From the distribution amount, in April 2009, $590,097 was paid to the State of New Jersey for non-resident withholding tax.  No distribution was paid in the year 2008.

PART II


ITEM 7.                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is based on the consolidated financial statements, and 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Partnership has disclosed its selection and application of significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2010.  The Partnership accounts for its investments in partnerships (Local Partnerships) by the equity method because the Partnership is a limited partner in the Local Partnerships.  As such, the Partnership has no control over the selection and application of accounting policies, or the use of estimates, by the Local Partnerships.  Environmental and operational trends, events and uncertainties that might affect the properties owned by the Local Partnerships would not necessarily have a significant impact on the Partnership’s application of the equity method of accounting, since the equity method has been suspended for four Local Partnerships which have cumulative losses in excess of the amount of the Partnership’s investments in those Local Partnerships.  The Partnership reviews property assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If an asset was determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which establishes the ASC as the source of authoritative accounting principles to be applied in preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted the new accounting standard which requires adoption of the fair value standards in the ASC for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Partnership adopted the new accounting standard which requires disclosure regarding the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements.

The ASC establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the Partnership issues financial statements or has them available to issue. The ASC defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The guidance became effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

II-2
 
 

 

PART II


ITEM 7.                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”s).  The amended guidance modifies the consolidation model to one based on control and economics, and replaces the current quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the amended guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE.  Additionally, the amendment requires enhanced and expanded disclosures around VIEs.  This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  The Partnership has determined that adoption of this guidance has no material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

General

The Partnership has invested, through Local Partnerships, primarily in federal or state government-assisted apartment complexes intended to provide housing to low and moderate income tenants.  In conjunction with such governmental assistance, which includes federal and/or state financing at below-market interest rates and rental subsidies, certain of the Local Partnerships agreed to regulatory limitations on (i) cash distributions, (ii) use of the properties, and (iii) sale or refinancing.  These limitations typically were designed to remain in place for the life of the mortgage.

The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) subsidies are provided principally under Sections 8 and 236 of the National Housing Act.  Under Section 8, the government pays to the applicable apartment partnership the difference between market rental rates (determined in accordance with government procedures) and the rate the government deems residents can afford.  Under Section 236, the government provides interest subsidies directly to the applicable apartment partnership through a reduction in the property’s mortgage interest rate.  In turn, the partnership provides a corresponding reduction in resident rental rates.  In compliance with the requirements of Section 8, and Section 236, residents are screened for eligibility under HUD guidelines.  Subsidies are provided under contracts between the federal government and the apartment partnerships.

Subsidy contracts for the investment apartment properties are scheduled to expire through 2029.  The Local Partnerships seek the renewal of expiring subsidy contracts, when appropriate, for their properties.  HUD has in the past approved new subsidy contracts on an annual basis subject to annual appropriations by Congress.  The initial HUD contract renewal process currently provides owners six options for renewing their Section 8 contract depending upon whether the owner can meet the eligibility criteria.

Historically, the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership is invested have met the criteria necessary to renew their Section 8 contracts.

Fairway Park Apartments had a Section 8 HAP contract which expired December 31, 2009.  The Section 8 HAP contract covered 42 of the apartment units in Fairway Park Apartments.  Fairway Park Apartments “opted out” of the Section 8 contract.

Tradewinds Terrace has a Section 8 HAP contract which expires April 30, 2011.  The Section 8 HAP contract covers 52 of the apartment units in Tradewinds Terrace.  It is anticipated that the Local Partnership will extend its Section 8 HAP contract for a one-year period at expiration.

PART II


ITEM 7.                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Continued

CRI continues to evaluate the Partnership’s underlying apartment complexes to develop strategies that maximize the benefits to investors. Numerous variables, including adverse general economic conditions, as well as, Local Partnership agreements and regulatory restrictions impact the ability and timing of effectuating the sale of certain properties owned by the Local Partnerships or the Partnership’s interests in the Local Partnerships.  The Managing General Partner continues to explore strategies that will result in the sale of properties owned by the Local Partnerships or the Partnership’s interests in the Local Partnerships at terms advantageous to the Partnership.  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 maximize the benefits to investors.

As of December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of the Partnership's investment in the Local Partnership with a Section 8 HAP contract expiring in 2011 was $1,058,968.

The Managing General Partner continues to seek strategies to deal with affordable housing policy.  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 maximize the benefits to investors.

Financial Condition/Liquidity

As of December 31, 2010, the Partnership had approximately 4,478 investors who held a total of 73,337 units of additional limited partner interest which were originally sold for the aggregate amount of $73,337,000.  The Partnership originally made investments in 47 Local Partnerships, of which six remain as of December 31, 2010.  The Partnership's liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $4,359,494 as of December 31, 2010, 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 April 14, 2011, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures.

During 2010 and 2009, the Partnership received distributions of $208,163 and $669,834, respectively, from the Local Partnerships.

The Partnership's obligations with respect to its investments in Local Partnerships, in the form of nonrecourse purchase money notes having an aggregate principal balance of $1,340,000, plus aggregate accrued interest of $6,755,717, as of December 31, 2010, are payable in full upon the earliest of:  (i) sale or refinancing of the respective Local Partnership's rental property; (ii) payment in full of the respective Local Partnership's permanent loan; or (iii) maturity.

Asbury Towers was paid off at a discount from proceeds of the sale of the property owned by the Local Partnership in 2008.  Effective January 1, 2009, the Partnership’s interest in Cedar Point and Thornwood House were transferred to the purchase money noteholders and/or their affiliates or assignees.  Effective July 15, 2010, the Partnership’s interest in Pilgrim Tower East was transferred to the purchase money noteholder and or its affiliates or assignees.

The remaining purchase money note related to Northridge Park matures in 2025.  As of December 31, 2010, principal and accrued interest balances were $500,000 and $3,821,992, respectively.

The Partnership has received notice from IHDA of foreclosure sale of the Westport Village property.  As of December 31, 2010, Westport Village is in receivership. The Partnership’s non-recourse purchase money notes and accrued interest totaled $840,000 and $2,933,725, respectively at December 31, 2010.  The Partnership is not anticipating any loss resulting from the change in ownership. The Partnership will reflect debt extinguishment when the foreclosure becomes finalized.

See the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning purchase money notes.

The purchase money notes, which are nonrecourse to the Partnership, are generally secured by the Partnership's interest in the respective Local Partnerships.  There is no assurance that the underlying properties will have sufficient appreciation and equity to enable the Partnership to pay the purchase money notes' principal and accrued interest when due.  If a purchase money note is not paid in accordance with its terms, the Partnership will either have to renegotiate the terms of repayment or risk losing its partnership interest in the respective Local Partnership.  In the event that a purchase money note remains unpaid upon maturity, the noteholders may have the right to foreclose on the Partnership’s interest in the related Local Partnership.

The Partnership's inability to pay certain of 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 any of the Local Partnerships with matured or maturing purchase money notes 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 matured or maturing purchase money notes exceeds the carrying amount of the investment in each of the related Local Partnerships.  Thus, even a complete loss of the Partnership's interest in one of these Local Partnerships would not have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Partnership.

Of the six Local Partnerships in which the Partnership is invested as of December 31, 2010, the one Local Partnership with an associated purchase money note which has matured, or which matures through December 31, 2010, and which remain unpaid or unextended as of April 14, 2011, represented 0% of the Partnership's total distributions received from Local Partnerships and share of income from Local Partnerships for the immediately preceding two calendar years.

 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 year ended December 31, 2010, existing cash resources and receipt of distributions from partnerships were adequate to support net cash used in operating and financing activities.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,300,976 during 2010 primarily due to cash used in operating activities and distributions paid, partially offset by the receipt of distributions from partnerships.  For the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, distributions of $208,163 and $669,834, respectively, were received from Local Partnerships.  The Partnership expects to receive a similar or lower amount of distributions from these Local Partnerships in future years as more Section 8 HAP contracts approach expiration, should the related properties enter the Mark-to-Market program with the resulting reduction in rental revenues.

On May 17, 2009, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $1,858,483 ($25 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of May 17, 2009, of which, in June 2009, $1,268,386 was paid to the Limited Partners.  From the distribution amount, in April 2009, $590,097 was paid to the State of New Jersey for non-resident withholding tax.

On July 30, 2010, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $2,200,110 ($30 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of July 1, 2010.

ITEM 7.                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Continued

Results of Operations

2010 Versus 2009

The Partnership’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2010, decreased compared to 2009, primarily due to decreases in gain from extinguishment of debt, decreased share of income from partnerships, partially offset by the disposition of an investment in a Local Partnership and decreased interest expense.  The gain in the prior year was related to the transfer of the Partnership’s interest in two Local Partnerships, whereas one Local Partnership was transferred and one was sold in 2010.  The decrease in share of income from partnerships is the result of significant reductions in the distributions from Local Partnerships in 2010.  Interest expense decreased due to a lower purchase money note balance.

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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, did not include losses of $732,225 and $655,564, respectively.  Distributions of $208,163 and $669,834 received from four Local Partnerships during 2010 and 2009, respectively, and for which the Partnership’s carrying value is zero (equity method suspended), were recorded as increases in the Partnership’s share of income from partnerships in the year received.

Inflation

Inflation generally does not impact the fixed rate long-term financing under which the Partnership's real property investments were purchased.  Future inflation could allow for appreciated values of the Local Partnerships' properties over an extended period of time as rental revenues and replacement values gradually increase.

The combined rental revenues for the Partnership’s remaining properties for the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 follow.  Combined rental revenue amounts have been adjusted to reflect property sales and interests transferred during 2010 and prior years.

ITEM 9.                  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On December 22, 2010, the Partnership dismissed Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The decision to change accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Partnership. 

Effective as of December 23, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Partnership engaged Reznick Group, P.C. (“Reznick”) as the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The decision to engage Reznick was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Partnership as of such date. 

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the subsequent interim period ended September 30, 2010, neither the Partnership nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Reznick regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Partnership’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Grant Thornton’s reports on the financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.  Grant Thornton has furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission that was included as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Form 8-K, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2010, stating its agreement with the statements concerning Grant Thornton made in that 8-K.

ITEM 9A.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

In February 2011, representatives of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15.  The Managing General Partner does not expect that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, was recorded, processed, summarized or reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on our evaluation, management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition, there have been no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Partnership’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B.                      OTHER INFORMATION

Certain states may assert claims against the Partnership for failure to withhold and remit state income tax on operating profit or where the sale(s) of property in which the Partnership was invested failed to produce sufficient cash proceeds with which to pay the state tax and/or to pay statutory partnership filing fees.  The Partnership is unable to quantify the amount of such potential claims at this time. The Partnership has consistently advised its Partners that they should consult with their tax advisors as to the necessity of filing non-resident returns in such states with respect to their proportional taxes due.

ITEM 14.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership incurred professional fees for the services of the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm Grant Thornton as follows:

   
2010
   
2011
 
             
Audit fees (1)
  $ 38,185     $ 140,500  
Audit-related fees (2)
    --       --  
Tax fees (3)
    23,685       22,500  
All other fees
    --       --  
                 
    Total billed
  $ 61,870     $ 163,000  
 

(1)
Principally fees for the audit of the Partnership’s annual financial statements, the independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Partnership’s quarterly financial statements, and services provided in connection with the Partnership’s regulatory filings.
(2)
Principally fees for assurance and related services performed by the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Partnership’s financial statements.
(3)
Fees for preparation of Partnership federal and state tax returns.


The Partnership has no directors or officers.  The Board of Directors of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, serving as the Audit Committee, has approved in advance 100% of the fees paid to, and services provided by the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm. Prior to approving the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm providing any non-audit services, the Board of Directors of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership would assess whether the provision of those services would compromise the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm independence.

Grant Thornton was dismissed as the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm after the filing of the Partnership’s 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. Reznick was engaged as the Partnership’s new independent registered public accounting firm and performed the fiscal 2010 yearend audit. Reznick provided partnership tax return preparation services for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Grant Thornton provided partnership tax return preparation services during the years ended December 31, 2010  and December 31, 2009, which services it was determined did not compromise Reznick’s or Grant Thornton’s independence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 

The Partners
Capital Realty Investors- IV Limited Partnership
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Capital Realty Investors - IV Limited Partnership and subsidiary (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ (deficit) capital, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Capital Realty Investors - IV Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2010, and the consolidated results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Partners
Capital Realty Investors – IV Limited Partnership
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Capital Realty Investors – IV Limited Partnership (a Maryland limited partnership) and subsidiaries (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ (deficit) capital, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These consolidated 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 did not audit the financial statements of the Local Partnerships.  The Partnership’s share of income from these Local Partnerships constitutes $0 and $2,191 of income in 2009, and 2008, respectively, included in the Partnership’s 2009 and 2008 net income.  The financial statements of these Local Partnerships were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amount included for these Local Partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial position of Capital Realty Investors – IV Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS-IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.           ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a.           Organization

Capital Realty Investors-IV Limited Partnership (the Partnership) was formed under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on December 7, 1983, and shall continue until December 31, 2038, unless sooner dissolved in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership was formed to invest in real estate by acquiring and holding limited partner interests in limited partnerships (Local Partnerships) that own and operate federal or state government-assisted apartment properties, which provide housing principally to the elderly or to individuals and families of low or moderate income, or conventionally financed apartment properties, located throughout the United States.

The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), which is the Managing General Partner, and current and former shareholders of CRI.  The Initial Limited Partner is Rockville Pike Associates Limited Partnership-IV, a limited partnership which includes certain current officers and former employees of CRI or its affiliates.  The Special Limited Partner had been Two Broadway Associates-III, a limited partnership comprised of an affiliate and employees of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith, Incorporated.  Effective January 1, 2002, Two Broadway Associates-III transferred its interest to MLH Merger Corporation and three individuals.

The Partnership sold 73,500 units at $1,000 per unit of additional limited partner interest through a public offering.  The offering period was terminated on August 31, 1984.  As of December 31, 2010, 163 units of additional limited partner interest had been abandoned.

b.           Method of accounting

The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

c.           Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of one intermediary limited partnership which has invested in one Local Partnership.  All activity between the intermediary limited partnership and the Partnership has been eliminated in consolidation.

d.           Variable interest entities

GAAP provides guidance on when a company should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE.  Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics:  (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the entity that will receive a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE’s expected residual returns, or both.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

The Partnership does not consolidate the Partnership's interests in these VIE’s under this guidance, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary.  The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheet, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements.

The Partnership’s balance in investment in Local Partnerships represents its maximum exposure to loss.  The Partnership’s exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying properties as well as the strength of the local general partners.

e.           Investments in and advances to partnerships

The Partnership’s investment in Local Partnerships is considered to be variable interest entities (VIEs) because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Local Partnerships since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities.  Therefore, and because the Partnership is a limited partner in the Local Partnerships, the Partnership accounts for the investment in its Local Partnerships using the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method, the initial investment is recorded at cost, increased or decreased by the Partnership’s share of income or losses, and decreased by distributions received and syndication costs.  The investment balance cannot be reduced below zero.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership's share of cumulative losses for four and six of the Local Partnerships, respectively, exceeded the amount of the Partnership's investments in those Local Partnerships by $7,237,563 and $7,066,408, respectively. Since 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 consolidated financial statements.  The Partnership’s carrying value is zero and the equity method has been suspended for the following four and six Local Partnerships as of December 31, 2010 and as of December 31, 2009, respectively: Fairway Park, Madison Square, Northridge, and Westport Village as of December 31, 2010, and Fairway Park, Madison Square, Northridge, and Westport Village, Hale Ohana, and Pilgrim Tower East as of December 31, 2009, respectively.  Distributions of $208,163, $669,834 and $549,270 received from three, four and four Local Partnerships during 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and for which the Partnership's carrying value is zero (equity method suspended), were recorded as increases in the Partnership's share of income from partnerships in the year received.

Costs incurred in connection with acquiring these investments have been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties owned by the Local Partnerships.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

f.           Investment in partnerships held for sale or transfer

When investments are reclassified to investment in partnerships held for sale or transfer, amortization of the acquisition fees and property purchase costs are discontinued.  Assets held for sale or transfer are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or expected sales price less costs to sell.

g.           Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market funds, time and demand deposits and repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less.  Interest income is recognized as earned.

h.           Income taxes

For federal and state income tax purposes, each partner reports on his or her personal income tax return his or her share of the Partnership's income or loss as determined for tax purposes.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in these consolidated financial statements.

i.           Use of estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Partnership is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

j.           Fair value of financial instruments

On January 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted the new accounting standard which requires adoption of the fair value standards in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Partnership adopted the new accounting standard which requires disclosure regarding the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements.

The ASC establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 
1.
Level 1 Inputs -- quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
 
2.
Level 2 Inputs -- observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
 
3.
Level 3 Inputs -- unobservable inputs.


IV-13
 
 

 

CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS-IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Partnership has determined that the fair value of the purchase money notes is de minimus, as the notes are secured by limited partnership interests only, are non-recourse to the Partnership and of which two are in default.

The balance sheet carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

k.           Impairment analysis

The Partnership reviews property assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  Impairment for investments in partnerships is determined by review of the performance of the underlying asset and expected proceeds from the sale of the investment.  If an asset were determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss.

l.           Allocation of net income (loss)

Net income (loss) is allocated based on respective partnership interest or units outstanding.  The Partnership has no dilutive interests.

m.           Debt Extinguishment

From time to time, the Partnership transfers its interests in certain equity investments to its purchase money noteholders in satisfaction of notes payable.  The Partnership records a gain on extinguishment of debt for the difference between the book value of the investment being transferred and the book value of the debt and associated acquisition fees and property purchase costs. 

n.           Subsequent events

Events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements were available to be issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the balance sheet date require disclosure in the accompanying notes. Management evaluated the activity of the Partnership and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

o.           Recent accounting pronouncements

On July 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, which establishes the ASC as the source of authoritative accounting principles to be applied in preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 1, 2009, the Partnership adopted the new accounting standard which requires adoption of the fair value standards in the ASC for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Partnership adopted the new accounting standard which requires disclosure regarding the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements.

The ASC establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the Partnership issues financial statements or has them available to issue. The ASC defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The guidance became effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs).  The amended guidance modifies the consolidation model to one based on control and economics, and replaces the current quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the amended guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE.  Additionally, the amendment requires enhanced and expanded disclosures around VIEs.  This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  The Partnership has determined that adoption of this guidance has no material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

The remaining purchase money notes have stated interest rates ranging from 8.17% to 9.00%, of which Northridge Park compounds annually and Westport Village has simple interest.  The purchase money notes are non- recourse, but their terms provide for payment in full upon the earliest of: (i) sale or refinancing of the respective Local Partnership's rental property; (ii) payment in full of the respective Local Partnership's permanent loan; or (iii) maturity.

Asbury Towers was paid off at a discount from proceeds of the sale of the property owned by the Local Partnership in 2008.  Effective January 1, 2009, the Partnership’s interest in Cedar Point and Thornwood House were transferred to the purchase money noteholders and/or their affiliates or assignees.  Effective July 15, 2010, the Partnership’s interest in Pilgrim Tower East was transferred to the purchase money noteholder and or its affiliates or assignees.

2.           INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS - Continued

The remaining purchase money note related to Northridge Park matures in 2025.  As of December 31, 2010, principal and accrued interest balances were $500,000 and $3,821,992, respectively.

The Partnership has received notice from IHDA of foreclosure sale of the Westport Village property.  As of December 31, 2010, Westport Village is in receivership. The Partnership’s non-recourse purchase money notes and accrued interest totaled $840,000 and $2,933,725, respectively at December 31, 2010.  The Partnership is not anticipating any loss resulting from the change in ownership.

The Partnership's inability to pay certain of 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 any of the Local Partnerships with matured or maturing purchase money notes 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 matured or maturing purchase money notes exceeds the carrying amount of the investment in each of the related Local Partnerships.  Thus, even a complete loss of the Partnership's interest in one of these Local Partnerships would not have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Partnership.

Of the six Local Partnerships in which the Partnership is invested as of December 31, 2010, the one Local Partnership with an associated purchase money note which has matured, or which matures through December 31, 2010, and which remain unpaid or unextended as of April 14, 2011, represented 0% of the Partnership's total distributions received from Local Partnerships and share of income from Local Partnerships for the immediately preceding two calendar years.

The Managing General Partner continues to address the maturity and impending maturity of the Partnership’s debt obligations and to seek solutions that will provide the most favorable outcome to the Limited Partners.  However, there can be no assurance that these strategies will be successful.

None of the debt extinguishments resulting from the sale or transfer of Local Partnerships (as described below) were with related parties.

Interest expense on the Partnership's purchase money note for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, was $560,519, $638,561 and $1,760,933, respectively.  The accrued interest payable on the purchase money notes of $6,755,717 and $11,225,330 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is due on the respective maturity dates of the purchase money notes or earlier, in some instances, if (and to the extent of a portion thereof) the related Local Partnership has distributable net cash flow, as defined in the relevant Local Partnership agreement.

The mortgage loan encumbering the property associated with the Partnership’s investment in Westport Village is in default.  The Managing General Partner of the Local Partnership was unable to reach an agreement with IHDA to a mortgage restructuring.  IHDA has provided notice of foreclosure sale of the property.  As of December 31, 2010, Westport Village is in receivership.

Due to the impending foreclosure, the Partnership’s basis in the Local Partnership, along with the net unamortized amount of acquisition fees and property purchase costs, which totaled $0 at both December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, has been reclassified to investment in partnerships held for sale or transfer in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The Partnership’s non-recourse purchase money notes and accrued interest thereon total $840,000 and $2,933,725, respectively, at December 31, 2010 relating to this property.  Accordingly, the purchase money note and the accrued interest thereon have been reclassified to as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  There can be no assurance as to the ultimate timing of the foreclosure sale and/or transfer of ownership of the property.

Pilgrim Tower East

The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money note secured by its interest in Pilgrim Tower East Associates (Pilgrim Tower East) on December 1, 1999, when the note matured and was not paid.  The default amount included principal and accrued interest of $1,650,000 and $2,719,372, respectively.  The Partnership and the noteholders signed a contract to sell the Partnership’s interest in Pilgrim Tower East to the noteholder in exchange for the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the purchase money note and two $100,000 payments on the purchase money note, one of which was paid in February 2002, and one of which was paid in January 2003.  The noteholders failed to obtain required regulatory consent to the sale within the required time frame and the contract for the sale of the Partnership’s interest expired in November 2003. Under the terms of the note and the Assignment and Security Agreement, the noteholders had the right to enforce their security interests in the Local Partnership subject to approval by California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA) and all other government agencies with jurisdiction over the property.  Effective July 15, 2010, the Partnership’s interest in Pilgrim Tower East was transferred to the purchase money noteholder as satisfaction of the note.  As of July 15, 2010, the principal and accrued interest balances were $1,450,000 and $4,944,423, respectively.  The sale resulted in gain from extinguishment of debt for financial statement purposes of $6,368,609 in 2010 and in gain of approximately $7.5 million for federal tax purposes.  Net acquisition fees and property purchase costs of $25,814 were written off associated with the sale and included in gain on disposition of investment in partnerships.

b.           Interests in profits, losses and cash distributions made by Local Partnerships

The Partnership has a 96.00% to 98.99% interest in profits, losses and cash distributions (as restricted by various federal and state housing agencies) (collectively, the “Agencies”) of each Local Partnership.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner of the Partnership is also a general partner of each Local Partnership or the intermediary limited partnership which invested in the Local Partnership.  As stipulated by the Local Partnerships’ partnership agreements, the Local Partnerships are required to make annual cash distributions from surplus cash flow, if any.  During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership received cash distributions from rental operations of the Local Partnerships totaling $208,163, $669,834 and $549,270, respectively.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, two and four of the Local Partnerships had aggregate surplus cash, as defined by their respective regulatory Agencies, in the amounts of $530,200 and $548,154, respectively, which may be available for distribution in accordance with their respective regulatory Agencies' regulations.

The cash distributions to the Partnership from the operations of the Local Partnerships may be limited by the Agencies’ regulations.  Such regulations limit annual cash distributions to a percentage of the owner's equity investment in a rental property.  Funds in excess of those which may be distributed to owners are generally required to be placed in a residual receipts account held by the governing state or federal agency for the benefit of the property.  In addition, local general partners have the authority to withhold funds if needed for property repairs, improvements, or other property needs.

Upon sale or refinancing of a property owned by a Local Partnership, or upon liquidation of a Local Partnership, the proceeds from such sale, refinancing or liquidation shall be distributed in accordance with the respective provisions of each Local Partnership's partnership agreement.  In accordance with such provisions, the Partnership would receive from such proceeds its respective percentage interest of any remaining proceeds, after payment of (i) all debts and liabilities of the Local Partnership and certain other items, (ii) the Partnership's capital contributions plus certain specified amounts as outlined in each partnership agreement, and (iii) certain special distributions to the general partners and related entities of the Local Partnership.

c.           Assets held for sale or transfer

Madison Square

On May 7, 2008, the Local Managing General Partner signed a contract to sell the property related to Madison Square, Ltd. Dividend Housing Associates (Madison Square) to a non-profit. The potential purchaser of the property defaulted on the contract.  The mortgage loan encumbering the property associated with the Partnership’s investment in Madison Square is in default.  The Michigan State Housing Development Authority is foreclosing on the property. Accordingly, the Partnership’s basis, which totaled $0 at both December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, has been reclassified to investment in partnerships held for sale or transfer in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at that date. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate timing of the foreclosure sale and/or transfer of ownership of the property.

d.           Completed sales

Asbury Tower

The purchase money note secured by the Partnership’s interest in Asbury Tower Associates Limited Partnership (Asbury Tower) was due to mature on August 31, 2004.  However, the noteholder orally agreed to extend the maturity date on a month to month basis until such time as the noteholder provides a 30 day advance notice to the Partnership.  Effective January 1, 2008 the interest rate was reduced to 4 percent.  On August 28, 2008, the property owned by Asbury Towers was sold to an affiliate of the Local Managing General Partner.  Proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the purchase money note at a discount.  As of August 28, 2008, the principal and accrued interest balances were $3,432,081 and $24,789,908, respectively.  The sale resulted in gain from extinguishment of debt for financial statement purposes of $28,168,263 in 2008 and total gain of $29,838,732 for federal tax purposes.

Hale Ohana

On March 15, 2008 the Local Partnership entered into a contract with a third party to sell its property for approximately $3,875,000.  The sale was completed on March 15, 2010.  The sale resulted in gain on disposition of investment in partnerships for financial statement purposes of $1,603,594 in 2010 and in gain of approximately $2,086,000 for federal tax purposes.  Net acquisition fees and property purchase costs of $7,074 were written off associated with the sale and included in gain on disposition of investment in partnerships.  In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, in March 2010, the Managing General Partner was paid a disposition fee of $77,500 related to the sale.  The fee was netted against the related gain on disposition of investment in partnerships.  As of December 31, 2010, The Local Partnership is in process of closing the business of the partnership and reconciling the final liquidation and termination of the Local Partnership. The Partnership believes that the local General Partner has retained approximately $100,000 which is intended to be escrowed for contingent liabilities.  It is anticipated that the Local Partnership will be terminated and any funds remaining in the escrow will be released to partners, pursuant to the Local Partnership agreement, in the second half of 2011.

For federal income tax purposes, the Local Partnerships report on a basis whereby: (i) certain revenue and the related assets are recorded when received rather than when earned; (ii) certain costs are expensed when paid or incurred rather than capitalized and amortized over the period of benefit; and (iii) a shorter life is used to compute depreciation on the property as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code and the underlying regulations.  These returns are subject to examination and, therefore, possible adjustment by the IRS.
