When used, statements which are not historical in nature, including those containing words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the headings “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

SUPPLEMENTAL LETTER FROM THE CEO

The trend in rising interest rates, post-election, was somewhat abated during the first quarter of 2017. Although the Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates, economic growth was muted during the first three months of 2017, which resulted in a decrease in longer-term rates. During the first quarter of 2017, the affordable housing market sector continued to assess the impact of the potential changes in the political and regulatory environments.

We are pleased by the results of our operations, the net income we have reported, and our Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) for the first quarter of 2017. Significant highlights during the first quarter of 2017 are as follows:

•

Acquisition of six mortgage revenue bonds of approximately $59.6 million,

•

Sale of an MF Property for approximately $13.8 million,

•

Contributions of approximately $9.5 million to Investment in Unconsolidated Entities,

•

Refinancing of short-term Lines of Credit of approximately $60 million to longer term, fixed-rate financings, and

•

Securitized 19 fixed-term, fixed-rate Term AB Trust financings of approximately $106.8 million.

In addition, the following results of operation, net income and CAD were realized in the first quarter of 2017, as compared to the first quarter of 2016:

•

Total revenue increased approximately 7.4% to $16.0 million, as compared to $14.9 million,

•

Net income per unit, basic and diluted, increased approximately 150.0% to $0.10 per unit, as compared to $0.04 per unit, and

•

CAD increased approximately 31.7% to $8.3 million ($0.14 per unit), as compared to $6.3 million ($0.10 per unit).

We continue to execute on our strategy of “fine tuning” our assets owned and continue to enhance our relationships with our business partners and Unitholders. This has allowed us to report positive results in net income, basic and diluted, and CAD for the first quarter of 2017.

We are very proud of our history of paying distributions to our Unitholders. We have not missed a regularly scheduled distribution since being listed as a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ market in 1986.

It has been a privilege to work with the many skilled and dedicated members of our ATAX team and experienced individuals that comprise our Board of Managers. We are encouraged by ATAX’s direction and would like to thank all of our Unitholders for their continued support.

Chief Executive Officer

FIRST QUARTER 2017 FACT SHEET

PARTNERSHIP DETAILS			We were formed for the primary purpose of acquiring a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds that are issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential properties. We continue to expect most of the interest paid on these bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Our business objectives are to (i) preserve and protect our capital (ii) provide regular cash distributions, and (iii) generate additional returns from appreciation of real estate or the opportunistic sale of the asset investments to our Unitholders. We also invest in other securities which 1) if not secured by a direct or indirect interest in a property must be rated in one of the four highest rating categories by at least one nationally recognized securities rating agency and 2) cannot be more than 25% of our total assets at acquisition. We have also acquired interests in multifamily apartments (“MF Properties”) in order to position ourselves for future investments in mortgage revenue bonds issued to finance these properties.
