CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS-IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2012 and 2011
(Unaudited)


1.           ORGANIZATION

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.  The Partnership was formed for the purpose of raising capital by offering and selling limited partnership interests and then investing in limited partnerships ("Local Partnerships"), each of which owns and operates an existing rental housing project which was originally financed and/or operated with one or more forms of rental assistance or financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). The Partnership originally made investments in forty-seven Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 2012, the Partnership retained investments in four Local Partnerships.

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.


2.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such instructions.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2011.

In the opinion of CRI, the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Partnership as of March 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.  The results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


3.           INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS
 
At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership had limited partnership equity interests in four and five Local Partnerships respectively, each of which owned an apartment complex.

Under the terms of the Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership, the Partnership was required to make capital contributions to the Local Partnerships. These contributions were payable in installments upon each Local Partnership achieving specified levels of construction and/or operations. At March 31, 2012 and 2011, all such capital contributions had been paid to the Local Partnerships.

a.           Summarized financial information

Combined statements of operations for the four and five Local Partnerships in which the Partnership was invested as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, follow.  The combined statements have been compiled based on apportionment of the prior year’s actual operating activity and are unaudited.  The information for each of the periods is presented separately for those Local Partnerships which have investment basis (equity method), and for those Local Partnerships which have cumulative losses in excess of the amount of the Partnership’s investments in those Local Partnerships (equity method suspended).  Appended after the combined statements is information concerning the Partnership’s share of income from partnerships related to cash distributions recorded as income, and related to the Partnership’s share of income from Local Partnerships.

Cash distributions received from Local Partnerships which have investment basis (equity method) are recorded as a reduction of investments in partnerships and as cash receipts on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Cash distributions received from Local Partnerships which have cumulative losses in excess of the amount of the Partnership’s investments in those Local Partnerships (equity method suspended) are recorded as share of income from partnerships on the respective condensed consolidated statements of operations and as cash receipts on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets.  As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership's share of cumulative losses to date for three of the four and for three of the five Local Partnerships, respectively, exceeded the amount of the Partnership's investments in those Local Partnerships by $1,260,311 and $2,082,434, respectively.  As the Partnership has no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to these Local Partnerships, the excess losses have not been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.           INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS - Continued

a.           Due on investments in partnerships and accrued interest payable

Purchase money notes

The Partnership executed certain purchase money notes payable as part of the acquisition of its equity interests in certain Local Partnerships. The notes are nonrecourse notes secured by a security interest in the Partnership’s interests in the respective Local Partnership.  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 $7,349,714 as of March 31, 2012, 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.

The purchase money note related to the following property matured and has not been paid or extended as of March 31, 2012.

The remaining purchase money note related to Northridge Park matures in 2025.  As of March 31, 2012, principal and accrued interest balances were $500,000 and $4,270,589, respectively.

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 noteholder 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 notes 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 these Local Partnerships would not have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Partnership.

Interest expense on the Partnership's purchase money notes for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, was $124,569 and $117,357 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.  The accrued interest payable on these purchase money notes of $7,349,714 and $7,225,145 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, is due upon the earliest of:  (i) sale or refinancing of the respective Local Partnership’s rental property; (ii) payment in full of the respective Local Partnerships’ permanent loans; or (iii) maturity.

b.           Assets held for sale or transfer

Westport Village

The mortgage loan encumbering the property associated with the Partnership’s investment in Westport Village is in default.  As of March 31, 2012, Westport Village was in receivership pending a foreclosure sale of the property.  Accordingly, the Partnership’s basis in the Local Partnership, which totaled $0 at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, has been reclassified to investment in partnerships held for sale or transfer in the accompanying condensed 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.

c.           Completed sales

Mary Allen West Tower

On October 13, 2011, the Mary Allen West Tower property was sold.  The investment balance at December 31, 2011 was $4,767,709.  This represents the proceeds the Partnership received from the sale of the property.  The proceeds were received on February 22, 2012. The Local Partnership was terminated as of December 31, 2011.

From the sale proceeds, the Partnership is obligated to pay CRI, Inc. a fee in the amount of $70,000 for services provided in connection with the sale of the Mary Allen West Tower property.  At December 31, 2011 this fee had been accrued and was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fee was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

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 ($1,048,769 recognized in the period ended March 31, 2010 and $554,825 recognized in the period ended September 30, 2010).  In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, in March 2010, the Managing General Partner was paid a disposition fee or $77,500 related to the sale.  The fee was netted against the related gain on disposition of investment in partnerships. During the three month period ending June 30, 2012, the Partnership received a distribution of $45,671 relating to the final release of the Local Partnership reserves. As of March 31, 2012, the Local Partnership is in process of termination.

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 organization. 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.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, The Michigan State Housing Development Authority has sold the property via deed in lieu of foreclosure.  The Partnership’s basis in this Local Partnership was $0 at both December 31, 2011 and 2010. Acquisition fees and property purchase costs totaled $0 at both December 31, 2011 and 2010.  As of December 31, 2011, the Local Partnership was dissolved, and the Partnership no longer holds a limited partner interest in Madison Square.  The Partnership did not recognize any loss during 2011 from this transaction.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                   
The 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 financial statements included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2011.  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 three 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 were determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States 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.

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.  Accounting guidance requires continued reconsideration as to the consideration of 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements.

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

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.

Financial Condition/Liquidity

The Partnership's liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $9,024,617, along with anticipated future cash distributions from Local Partnerships, is expected to be adequate to meet its current and anticipated operating cash needs.  As of September 26, 2012, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures.

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 three month period ended March 31, 2012, existing cash resources, receipt of distributions from Local Partnerships and sale proceeds received adequate to support operating cash requirements.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $5,061,969 during the three month period ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to proceeds received from the disposition of Mary Allen West Tower and the distribution received from Fairway Park.

Results of Operations

The partnership recognized net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, compared to a net loss in 2011 primarily due to a cash distribution received from Fairway Park.

For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership, as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships, does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in excess of its investment to the extent that the Partnership has no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to the Local Partnerships.  As a result, the Partnership's share of income from partnerships for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 did not include income of $180,853, compared to excluded losses of $17,541 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.

Certain taxing authorities may assert claims against the Partnership for failure to withhold and remit 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.

No other significant changes in the Partnership's operations have taken place during the three month period ended March 31, 2012.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a)           Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalents of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of insufficient accounting systems and processes in place to ensure timely reports.

The Partnership must rely on the Local Limited Partnerships to provide the Partnership with certain information necessary for the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports. Factors in the accounting at the Local Limited Partnerships have caused delays in the provision of such information during past reporting periods, and resulted in the Partnership’s inability to file its periodic reports in a timely manner.

Once the Partnership has received the necessary information from the Local Limited Partnerships, the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that the material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is effectively recorded, processed, summarized and reported, albeit not in a timely manner. Going forward, the Partnership will use the means reasonably within its power to impose procedures designed to obtain from the Local Limited Partnerships the information necessary for the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports.
 
b)           Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Partnership is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation involving it or the underlying investment property of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership invests that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business or that would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Partnership.


Item 3.
Defaults upon Senior Securities

See Note 3.a. of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1, hereof, for information concerning the Partnership's defaults on certain purchase money notes.

Item 5. Other Information

There has not been any information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, but not reported, whether or not otherwise required by this Form 10-Q at March 31, 2012.

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 March 31, 2012, the Partnership issued a press release regarding a “mini-tender offer” commenced by MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, LP for up to 2.8% of the Units in the Partnership, including those already owned by the offeror and its affiliates.  The Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference.
