PART I

Item 1.                 Business.

General Development of Business and Narrative Description of Business

Registrant is a limited partnership which was formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on October 10, 1986.  The general partners of Registrant (the "General Partners") are Wilder Richman Resources Corporation (“WRRC”), a Delaware corporation, Real Estate Equity Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and WRC-87A Corporation (“WRC-87A”), a Delaware corporation.

Registrant was organized to invest in multi-family residential housing complexes (the "Complexes") by acquiring approximately 99% of the limited partner interest (the "Operating Partnership Interest") in limited partnerships that own and operate such Complexes (the "Operating Partnerships").  Registrant invested in Carrollton X Associates Limited Partnership ("Carrollton"), which owns Fieldpointe Apartments (“Fieldpointe”), and Columbia Westmont Associates, L.P., formerly Columbia Associates ("Columbia"), which owned The Westmont.  Columbia sold The Westmont in July 2006.  WRC-87A is a special limited partner of each Operating Partnership and has certain rights in connection therewith.  Pursuant to Rule 12b-23 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) the description of Registrant’s business set forth under the heading "Investment Objectives and Policies" at pages 20 through 30 of Registrant’s prospectus, dated March 5, 1987 (as supplemented on October 2, 1987, December 15, 1987 and March 29, 1988, the “Prospectus”), is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Prospectus, Registrant offered up to $50 million of units of limited partnership interest in Registrant (the "Units") at an offering price of $20 per Unit. The Units were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 33-9602).

Registrant terminated the offering of Units (the "Offering") on February 29, 1988 upon raising sufficient capital from the sale of Units to fund the acquisition of the two properties specified for investment by Registrant as noted above.  The Offering raised $19,687,380 from the sale of 984,369 Units.  After payment of $1,378,117 of selling commissions and $1,378,116 of organization and offering expenses and acquisition fees, the net proceeds available for investment were $16,931,147.  Of such net proceeds, $16,734,273 was allocated to the acquisition of the Operating Partnership Interests which included investments in guaranteed investment contracts.  The remaining net proceeds of $196,874 were designated as working capital to be used for operating expenses of Registrant.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

Registrant is currently engaged solely in the business of owning an Operating Partnership Interest in Carrollton.  A presentation of information regarding industry segments is not applicable and would not be material to an understanding of Registrant’s business taken as a whole.  See Item 7 below for a summary of Registrant’s operations.
 
Competition

Information regarding competition, general risks, tax risks and partnership risks is set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" at pages 37 through 48 of the Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Compliance with Environmental Protection Provisions

Registrant is not aware of any non-compliance by Carrollton with respect to federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of material into the environment or otherwise relating to the pro­tection of the environment, and is not aware of any condition that would have a material effect on the capital expenditures or competitive position of Registrant.

Employees of Registrant

Registrant employs no personnel and incurs no payroll costs.  An affiliate of WRRC employs individuals who perform accounting, secretarial, transfer and other services on behalf of Registrant as are necessary in the ordinary course of business.  Such individuals also perform similar services for other affiliates of WRRC.

Item 1A.               Risk Factors.

Registrant is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this Item.

Item 1B.               Unresolved Staff Comments.

Not applicable.

Item 2.                 Properties.

Fieldpointe, which is owned by Carrollton, is located in Frederick, Maryland and is comprised of 252 apartment units totaling approximately 235,000 square feet with approximately 500 parking spaces.  On-site amenities include a clubhouse building with locker room and on-site management office, a swimming pool and two tennis courts.  The apartments feature numerous amenities, including dishwashers, disposals and fireplaces.

Registrant acquired its Operating Partnership Interest in Carrollton by making a capital contribution of $3,121,995.  Of this amount, $1,373,039 was invested in guaranteed investment contracts and $1,748,956 was contributed upon Registrant's acquisition of the Operating Partnership Interest, including the amount due upon the achievement of sustaining rental revenue.

The mortgage of Carrollton was financed from the sale of tax-exempt bonds pursuant to the terms of Section 103(b)(4)(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).  The mortgage in the original amount of $10,494,100, bearing fixed 6.09% interest and maturing in February 2028, is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, (“FHA”), an organizational unit within the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") under Section 221(d)(4) of the National Housing Act of 1934, as amended.  The mortgage will be fully amortized upon maturity.  Under the terms of the financing, 80% of the apartment units are permitted market rate rents and 20% of the apartment units are to be rented to people earning no more than the low or moderate income levels within the meaning of Section 103(b)(4)(a) of the IRC.  Fieldpointe’s occupancy rate was approximately 98% as of December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2011, the market rental rates of Fieldpointe were approximately as follows:

 
Monthly Rental Rates:
 
 
   One-Bedroom
$865 - $890
 
 
   Two-Bedroom
$920 - $1,020
 
 
   Three-Bedroom
$1,150 - $1,225
 

The low and moderate income rental rates as of December 31, 2011 fall within the ranges noted above.

The Westmont, which was owned by Columbia, was sold in July 2006.  Registrant acquired its Operating Partnership Interest in Columbia by making a capital contribution of $12,571,634.  Of this amount, $6,651,323 was invested in guaranteed investment contracts (which had a value of $5,610,679, including net accrued interest of $18,918, at the time of the acquisition as a result of principal amortization from the dates of purchase of such guaranteed investment contracts to the closing of the Columbia acquisition), $5,921,104 was contributed upon Registrant’s acquisition of the Operating Partnership Interest in Columbia and $1,039,851 was contributed to Columbia upon the achievement of sustaining rental revenue.

Further information regarding the Complexes and Registrant’s interest therein is set forth under the heading Specified Investments at pages 30 through 36 of Registrant’s prospectus dated March 5, 1987, and in the supplements thereto dated October 2, 1987 and March 29, 1988.

Item 3.                 Legal Proceedings.
   
In December 2010, The Equal Rights Center (“ERC” or “Plaintiff”) filed a Complaint in Federal District Court in Maryland (the “Initial Complaint”) against Carrollton, Carrollton’s management agent and two individual leasing agents (collectively, the “Defendants”), alleging that the Defendants had “engaged in a pattern and practice of discrimination on the basis of national origin in violation of the Fair Housing Act”.  The allegations of the Plaintiff were based on a sampling of three tester applicants sent to Fieldpointe in 2009, notwithstanding the fact that each of the tester applicants was offered an application to rent an apartment at Fieldpointe but never followed through with Fieldpointe. The Initial Complaint was not based on any individual complaint by any actual real tenant or prospective real tenant. Plaintiff sought to obtain injunctive relief and damages to ERC.  The Defendants were successful in obtaining a dismissal of the Initial Complaint. In February 2011, ERC recast the Initial Complaint and filed a second complaint (the “Second Complaint”) basically making the same allegations as in the Initial Complaint. Defendants timely answered the Second Complaint and denied all of ERC’s allegations. The parties are currently engaged in discovery, and the Defendants are vigorously defending the lawsuit and are preparing to move for summary judgment. The Defendants are optimistic that they will prevail in the lawsuit. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Carrollton has already incurred significant legal expenses as a result of this matter and anticipates incurring additional legal expenses in the future. Accordingly, an estimate of the ultimate loss or ultimate range of loss cannot be made at this time.

PART II

Item 5.                 Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Market

There is no developed public market for the purchase and sale of Units and Registrant does not anticipate that such a market will develop.

Holders

As of March 23, 2012, there were approximately 465 record holders of Units (the “Limited Partners”) holding an aggregate of 984,369 Units.

Distributions

The Agreement of Limited Partnership of Registrant (the "Partnership Agreement") provides that the Limited Partners receive an 8% annualized return on their outstanding Adjusted Capital Contribution (the “Limited Partners’ Adjusted Capital Contribution”), reduced by all distributions of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds.  In connection with the sale of The Westmont in July 2006, the Limited Partners received distributions totaling $42.10 per Unit, as compared with an initial investment of $20 per Unit, in addition to receiving an approximately 8% annualized return on their investment from inception through August 4, 2006, the date on which the full amount of the Limited Partners’ Adjusted Capital Contribution was paid.  The last three payments of the 8% return through August 4, 2006 were paid in May 2006, July 2006 and April 2007 to Unit holders of record as of March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Since the return of the Limited Partners’ Adjusted Capital Contribution in full, Registrant no longer makes regular quarterly cash distributions, but made distributions in the amount of approximately $0.25 per Unit on May 16, 2011 to Unit holders of record as of March 31, 2011 and on March 31, 2010 to Unit holders of record as of December 31, 2009 and $0.50 per Unit on July 21, 2009 to Unit holders of record as of June 30, 2009 and on July 25, 2008 to Unit holders of record as of June 30, 2008.  Registrant intends to continue to make periodic distributions of Cash Available for Distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). The ability to make future distributions, and the amount of such distributions, if any, will depend on Carrollton’s cash flow and reserve levels, among other things.  Accordingly, there can be no certainty as to the payment of future distributions or the amount and timing thereof. The distributions to the Limited Partners reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 include withholding taxes paid by Registrant to the State of Maryland on behalf of the Limited Partners of approximately $.05 per Unit for each year.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

None.

Item 6.                 Selected Financial Data.

Registrant is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this Item.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Secured Income L.P. (the “Registrant”) owns a 98.9 % interest in Carrollton X Associates Limited Partnership (“Carrollton”). Fieldpointe, the operating complex owned by Carrollton (the “Complex”), remains on the market for sale and, although it is not currently in an active marketing campaign, the Carrollton general partners (the “Carrollton General Partners”) continue to receive inquiries from brokers.  Management began a plan in mid 2011 to cautiously increase rents at the Complex while maintaining current occupancy levels in anticipation of re-testing the market for a possible sale of the Complex in mid 2012, after the higher rents have been phased in as leases expire and/or renew.  There can be no assurance that the Complex will be able to achieve the higher rents management is seeking, or that an acceptable offer may be received.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale of the Complex were to occur, Registrant intends to distribute the net proceeds received to its partners, less a reasonable reserve, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Registrant’s Partnership Agreement.  At such time, Registrant intends to dissolve.

Registrant made a distribution on May 16, 2011 in the amount of approximately $0.25 per Unit to Unit holders of record (the “Limited Partners”) as of March 31, 2011.  The ability to make future distributions, and the amount and timing of such distributions, if any, will depend on Carrollton’s cash flow and reserve levels, among other things.  Accordingly, there can be no certainty as to the payment of future distributions or the amount and timing thereof. The distributions reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 include withholding taxes paid by Registrant to the State of Maryland on behalf of the Limited Partners of approximately $.05 per Unit, distributions to Registrant’s general partners (the “General Partners”) and amounts distributed by Carrollton to the Carrollton General Partners.

Registrant's current primary source of funds is the rents generated by Carrollton.  Registrant's investment is considered highly illiquid.

In the event a sale of the Complex does not take place, Registrant is not expected to have access to additional sources of financing. Accordingly, if unforeseen contingencies arise that cause Carrollton to require capital in addition to that contributed by Registrant and any equity of the Carrollton General Partners, potential sources from which such capital needs will be able to be satisfied (other than reserves) would be additional equity contributions or voluntary loans from the Carrollton General Partners (which are not required to fund such amounts) or other reserves, if any, which could adversely impact distributions from Carrollton to Registrant of operating cash flow and any sale or refinancing proceeds.

Registrant formerly held an interest in Columbia Westmont Associates, L.P. (“Columbia”), which sold its underlying property in 2006.  After an appeal, Columbia received a real estate tax refund for a prior year in the amount of approximately $998,000, which amount is net of professional fees incurred in connection with the appeal.  Registrant and the general partners of Columbia are currently undergoing discussions and seeking guidance in an effort to determine how the funds received should be characterized and applied under the terms of Columbia’s partnership agreement, and the amount, if any, that should be paid to Registrant and the other partners of Columbia.
      
In December 2010, The Equal Rights Center (“ERC” or “Plaintiff”) filed a Complaint (the “Initial Complaint”) against Carrollton, Carrollton’s management agent and two individual leasing agents (collectively, the “Defendants”), alleging that the Defendants had “engaged in a pattern and practice of discrimination on the basis of national origin in violation of the Fair Housing Act”.  The allegations of the Plaintiff were based on a sampling of three tester applicants sent to the Complex in 2009, notwithstanding the fact that each of the tester applicants was offered an application to rent an apartment at the Complex but never followed through with the Complex. The Initial Complaint was not based on any individual complaint by any actual real tenant or prospective real tenant. Plaintiff sought to obtain injunctive relief and damages to ERC.  The Defendants were successful in obtaining a dismissal of the Initial Complaint. In February 2011, ERC recast the Initial Complaint and filed a second complaint (the “Second Complaint”) basically making the same allegations as in the Initial Complaint. Defendants timely answered the Second Complaint and denied all of ERC’s allegations. The parties are currently engaged in discovery, and the Defendants are vigorously defending the lawsuit and are preparing to move for summary judgment. The Defendants are optimistic that they will prevail in the lawsuit. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Carrollton has already incurred significant legal expenses as a result of this matter and anticipates incurring additional legal expenses in the future. Accordingly, an estimate of the ultimate loss or ultimate range of loss cannot be made at this time.
  
Although Registrant generated significant cash from operations during the year ended December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents and investment in bond decreased, in the aggregate, by approximately $94,000 during the year, (which includes the reclassification of unrealized gain on investment in bond of approximately $3,000 and amortization of premium on investment in bond and the write-off of the remaining unamortized premium on the date the bond was redeemed totaling approximately $7,000). The bond owned by Registrant was called during 2011; Registrant’s cumulative annualized return on the bond for the sixteen month holding period totaled approximately 2.94%.  Accordingly, Registrant did not experience any adverse impact in connection with such investment.  The decrease noted above is primarily the result of legal fees incurred by Carrollton in connection with the claim noted above, Carrollton making principal payments on its mortgage and the distributions noted above. In addition, Carrollton distributed approximately $419,000 to Registrant during the year, which distribution has been eliminated in consolidation.  Property and equipment decreased as a result of depreciation expense of approximately $428,000, partially offset by capital improvements of approximately $87,000. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased in the ordinary course of operations.  Mortgage payable decreased as a result of principal payments on Carrollton’s mortgage.

Results of Operations

The discussion below refers primarily to the operations of Carrollton and not to that of Registrant as a whole.

 
6

 

Year Ended December 31, 2011

During the year ended December 31, 2011, Carrollton’s operations resulted in net income of approximately $44,000, which includes financial expenses and depreciation and amortization of approximately $464,000 and approximately $443,000, respectively, but does not include capitalized capital improvements of approximately $87,000.  Accordingly, Carrollton generated income from operating activities prior to financial expenses and depreciation and amortization of approximately $951,000.  Mortgage principal payments during 2011 for Carrollton were approximately $265,000.  After considering the mandatory mortgage principal payments, required deposits net of withdrawals to mortgage escrows and the replacement reserve and capitalized capital improvements, among other things, Carrollton generated cash flow of approximately $181,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011.  There can be no assurance that the level of cash flow generated by Carrollton during the year ended December 31, 2011 will continue in future periods.

Registrant’s results of operations as a whole for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflect a decline as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily as a result of (i) an increase in Carrollton’s operating and maintenance expenses and (ii) legal fees incurred by Carrollton in connection with a recent claim, all partially offset by (i) a decrease in Carrollton’s financial expenses resulting primarily from a refund of overpaid mortgage insurance premiums in prior years and (ii) an increase in rental revenue resulting from an increase in market rental rates and higher average occupancy of the Complex.

As of December 31, 2011, the occupancy of the Complex was approximately 98%.  In the event a sale of the Complex does not take place, the future operating results of Carrollton will be extremely dependent on market conditions and therefore may be subject to significant volatility.

Year Ended December 31, 2010

During the year ended December 31, 2010, Carrollton’s operations resulted in net income of approximately $347,000, which includes financial expenses and depreciation and amortization of approximately $524,000 and approximately $431,000, respectively, but does not include capitalized capital improvements of approximately $81,000.  Accordingly, Carrollton generated income from operating activities prior to financial expenses and depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,302,000.  Mortgage principal payments during 2010 for Carrollton were approximately $249,000.  After considering the mandatory mortgage principal payments, required deposits net of withdrawals to mortgage escrows and the replacement reserve and capitalized capital improvements, among other things, Carrollton generated cash flow of approximately $464,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Registrant’s results of operations as a whole for the year ended December 31, 2010 improved as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily as a result of higher average occupancy of the Complex.  As of December 31, 2010, the occupancy of the Complex was approximately 98%.

Year Ended December 31, 2009

During the year ended December 31, 2009, Carrollton’s operations resulted in net income of approximately $211,000, which includes financial expenses and depreciation and amortization of approximately $538,000 and approximately $418,000, respectively, but does not include capitalized capital improvements of approximately $132,000.  Accordingly, Carrollton generated income from operating activities prior to financial expenses and depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,167,000.  Mortgage principal payments during 2009 for Carrollton were approximately $235,000.  After considering the mandatory mortgage principal payments, required deposits net of withdrawals to mortgage escrows and the replacement reserve and capitalized capital improvements, among other things, Carrollton generated cash flow of approximately $240,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009.  As of December 31, 2009, the occupancy of the Complex was approximately 90%.

Inflation

Inflation may have a material adverse impact on Registrant's operations.  A situation could arise in which rents on the 20% of Carrollton’s apartment units set aside as affordable, which rents are calculated as a percentage of median family income, are reduced as a result of falling median family incomes.  At the same time, Carrollton’s operating expenses, such as heating oil and real estate taxes, could increase due to inflation.  Such situation could lead to lower rental income, higher operating expenses, and lower income from continuing operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires Registrant to make certain estimates and assumptions.  A summary of significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The following section is a summary of certain aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of Registrant’s financial condition and results of operations.  Registrant believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Registrant records its real estate assets at cost less accumulated depreciation and, if there are indications that impairment exists, adjusts the carrying value of those assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360; Subtopic 10.  In accordance with ASC Topic 360; Subtopic 10, long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable.  Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets, Registrant recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.  No such adjustment for impairment losses is required as of December 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”), amending ASC Topic 820 to increase disclosure requirements regarding recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.  Registrant adopted ASU 2010-06 for the year ended December 31, 2010, except for the disclosures about activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which became effective for Registrant’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011.  The full adoption of ASC Topic 820 on January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on Registrant’s consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Information

As a cautionary note, with the exception of historical facts, the matters discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”).  Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, current expectations, forecasts of future events, future actions, future performance generally, business development activities, capital expenditures, strategies, the outcome of contingencies, future financial results, financing sources and availability and the effects of regulation and competition. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance signify forward-looking statements.  Registrant may also provide written forward-looking statements in other materials released to the public.  Such statements are made in good faith by Registrant pursuant to the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Reform Act.  Registrant undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Such forward-looking statements involve known risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Registrant’s actual results of operations or actions to be materially different from future results of operations or actions expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Off - Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the operating leases between Carrollton and its tenants, Registrant does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on Registrant’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

("RPS"), an affiliate of certain General Partners, was the managing agent of Carrollton in 2011 and 2010.  In connection with these services, RPS earned management and reporting fees of $126,874 and $120,843 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.  RPS has continued to earn management and reporting fees in 2012 as described in Note 7 to the audited consolidated financial statements of Registrant included under Item 8 hereto.

Indebtedness of Management

No officer or director of the General Partners or any affiliate of the foregoing was indebted to Registrant at any time during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties

Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, Registrant has specific rights and limitations in conducting business with the General Partners and affiliates.  To date, Registrant has followed such provisions of the Partnership Agreement.  Registrant's unwritten policies for transacting business with related parties are to first refer to the Partnership Agreement in connection with conducting such business or making payments and then, if circumstances arise for which a new related party transaction is contemplated, present the proposed transaction to certain officers of WRRC for review and approval.  If any matter in connection with such transaction might be unclear under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, such matter is presented to general or outside counsel for review prior to any such transaction being entered into by Registrant. 

Corporate Governance

As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, Registrant does not have any directors, although as noted above Mr. Richman, Mr. Hussey and Mr. Krafnick serve on a committee that performs the functions of an audit committee on behalf of Registrant. Under NASDAQ Stock Market independence standards, Mr. Richman, Mr. Hussey and Mr. Krafnick would not be considered independent as they serve as officers of WRRC, a General Partner. Although Mr. Richman, Mr. Hussey and Mr. Krafnick are not independent under NASDAQ rules, Registrant believes that each exercises his judgment in the best interest of Registrant with respect to matters that would ordinarily be passed upon by an audit committee. Registrant is not a listed issuer whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange, or an inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be independent, and Registrant is not required to have an audit committee which consists of independent directors and meets the other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder.

Item 14.                Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm billed Registrant the following fees for professional services rendered in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

 
    2011    
    2010    
     
Audit Fees

$ 23,900
Audit-Related Fees
--
--
Tax Fees
$   4,000
$   4,000
All Other Fees
--
--

Audit fees consist of fees for the annual audit and review of Registrant’s interim consolidated financial statements and review of documents filed with the SEC.  Tax fees generally represent fees for annual tax return preparation.  There were no other accounting fees incurred by Registrant in 2011 and 2010.

The Audit Committee has adopted a set of pre-approval policies and procedures under which, pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm require pre-approval by the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee approved all 2011 and 2010 principal accounting fees and services.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Secured Income L.P. and Subsidiary (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.  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 audits.
 
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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financing reporting.  Our audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Secured Income L.P. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations, changes in their partners’ equity (deficit) and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SECURED INCOME L.P. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Secured Income L.P. (the "Partnership"), was formed on October 10, 1986 under the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware for the purpose of acquiring real estate limited partner interests.  The Partnership filed a Form S-11 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission effective March 5, 1987 covering an offering of up to 2,500,000 limited partnership units (the “Units”) at $20 per Unit.  The admission of limited partners (the “Limited Partners”) occurred on October 9, 1987, December 18, 1987 and April 12, 1988.

Carrollton X Associates Limited Partnership ("Carrollton") was organized under the laws of the District of Columbia on December 18, 1985 for the purpose of constructing and operating a residential rental apartment complex and related facilities under Section 221(d) 4 of the National Housing Act.  The Partnership acquired a 98.9% limited partner interest in Carrollton in October 1987.  Fieldpointe Apartments (the “Complex”) consists of 252 apartment units located in Frederick, Maryland.

Columbia Westmont Associates, L.P., formerly Columbia Associates ("Columbia") was formed as a limited partnership on February 6, 1985 to acquire an interest in real property located in New York, New York and to construct and operate thereon a 163 unit apartment complex which also includes a parking garage and approximately 9,400 square feet of commercial space.  The Partnership acquired a 98.9% limited partner interest in Columbia in December 1988.  The complex operated under the name of The Westmont.  Columbia sold The Westmont in July 2006.

Columbia and Carrollton are referred to collectively as the “Operating Partnerships.”  Carrollton has an underlying mortgage that qualifies for tax-exempt financing as a result of restricting at least 20% of its apartment units for low to moderate income tenants as defined in applicable guidelines.  Columbia’s mortgages also had such qualifications and restrictions.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations that relate to the business of the Partnership and Carrollton.  All significant inter-partnership balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  A general partner and special limited partner noncontrolling interest of 1.1% is held in Carrollton.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Land, buildings and improvements are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Net realizable value represents a multiple of the net cash flow necessary to recover costs exclusive of debt service.  Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of buildings and improvements to operations over their estimated service lives by use of the straight-line method over a 25-year life.  Personal property is carried at cost and is being depreciated over its estimated service life of 7 years using the straight-line method.  Improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Upon disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate property accounts are reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360; Subtopic 10, long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable.  For long-lived assets, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.  No such adjustment for impairment losses has been required during the three year period ended December 31, 2011.

SECURED INCOME L.P. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes the following fair value hierarchy:

 
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access;

 
Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

 
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions as there is little, if any, related market activity.

For instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement will fall within the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Investment in Bond

Investment in bond was classified as available-for-sale and represented an investment that the Partnership intended to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity.  Any decision to sell such investment would have been based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates and liquidity needs.  Investment in bond was carried at estimated fair value and unrealized gains or losses are included as items of comprehensive income (loss) and are reported as a separate component of partners’ equity (deficit).

The premium on investment in bond was amortized using the effective yield method over the duration of the Partnership’s investment.  The amortized premium offsets interest revenue.  Realized gain (loss) on redemption or sale of investment in bond is included in, or offset against, interest revenue on the basis of the adjusted cost of the investment at the date of redemption or sale.

Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts

Tenant receivables are charged to bad debt expense when they are determined to be uncollectible based upon a monthly review of the accounts by management.  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require that the allowance method be used to recognize bad debts; however, the effect of using the direct write-off method is not materially different from the results that would have been obtained under the allowance method.

Intangible Assets and Amortization

Mortgage costs are amortized over the term of the loan using the straight-line method.  GAAP requires that the effective yield method be used to amortize such costs; however, the effect of using the straight-line method is not materially different from the results that would have been obtained under the effective yield method.  Acquisition fees are amortized over twenty-five years using the straight-line method. Estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years following December 31, 2011 is as follows: 2012 - $21,715; 2013 - $15,471; 2014 - $15,471; 2015 - $15,471; and 2016 - $15,471.

DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue is recognized as rentals become due.  Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between Carrollton and the tenants of the Complex are operating leases.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income and deductions are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns.  The Partnership's federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity.  The Partnership is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities.  Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Partnership has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.  In accordance with ASC Topic 740; Subtopic 10, the Partnership has included in Note 11 disclosures related to differences in the financial and tax bases of accounting.

Net Income (Loss) per Unit of Limited Partnership Interest

Net income (loss) per Unit of limited partnership interest is calculated based upon the weighted average number of Units outstanding, 984,369 for each of the years 2011, 2010 and 2009.  Losses are allocated to the Limited Partners until such time as the Limited Partners' equity reaches zero as a result of loss allocations, after which all losses are allocated to the general partners of the Partnership (the “General Partners”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”), amending ASC Topic 820 to increase disclosure requirements regarding recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.  The Partnership adopted ASU 2010-06 for the year ended December 31, 2010, except for the disclosures about activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which became effective for the Partnership’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011.  The full adoption of ASC Topic 820 on January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of December 31, 2011, the Partnership and Carrollton have cash and cash equivalents of $656,848.  Of such amount, $655,346 is held in accounts at three financial institutions, including both the Partnership and Carrollton, in which all non-interest bearing transaction accounts are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the aggregate amount of all other accounts at each institution is insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. Of such amount, $654,156 is FDIC insured as of December 31, 2011.

Note 8 - Partners' Equity (Deficit)

Partnership Allocation

Profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated 1% and 99% to the General Partners and Limited Partners, respectively, until such time as the Limited Partners' capital reaches zero as a result of loss allocations, after which all losses are allocated to the General Partners.

Partnership Distributions

In accordance with the respective partnership agreements, to the extent that Carrollton and Columbia generated net operating cash flow in any year at a level sufficient, when distributed to the Partnership, to enable the Partnership to satisfy the allocable portion of the Limited Partners' 8% preferred return for such year without utilizing amounts generated from guaranteed investment contracts (the last of which matured in January 1998), the excess amounts generated from the guaranteed investment contracts would be paid or distributed to the general partners of Carrollton and/or Columbia, whichever generated such level of operating cash flow.  No such excess distributions were generated during the terms of the guaranteed investment contracts.  The distributions in connection with the sale of The Westmont included a full return of the Limited Partners’ invested capital, originally $20.00 per Unit. An additional distribution made on April 4, 2007 resulted in the Limited Partners being paid at an annualized rate of 8% through August 4, 2006, the date the Limited Partners received the return of their invested capital.  The Partnership made distributions in the amount of approximately $0.25 per Unit on May 16, 2011 to Unit holders of record as of March 31, 2011 and on March 31, 2010 to Unit holders of record as of December 31, 2009 and $0.50 per Unit on July 21, 2009 to Unit holders of record as of June 30, 2009 and on July 25, 2008 to Unit holders of record as of June 30, 2008.  The distributions to the Limited Partners reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 include withholding taxes paid by the Partnership to the State of Maryland on behalf of the Limited Partners of approximately $.05 per Unit, $.05 per Unit and $.04 per Unit, respectively.  The distributions reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include distributions by the Partnership to the General Partners and by Carrollton to its general partners.


Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation
 
In December 2010, The Equal Rights Center (“ERC” or “Plaintiff”) filed a Complaint (the “Initial Complaint”) against Carrollton, Carrollton’s management agent, and two individual leasing agents (collectively, the “Defendants”), alleging that the Defendants had “engaged in a pattern and practice of discrimination on the basis of national origin in violation of the Fair Housing Act”.  The allegations of the Plaintiff were based on a sampling of three tester applicants sent to the Complex in 2009, notwithstanding the fact that each of the tester applicants was offered an application to rent an apartment at the Complex but never followed through with the Complex. The Initial Complaint was not based on any individual complaint by any actual real tenant or prospective real tenant. Plaintiff sought to obtain injunctive relief and damages to ERC.  The Defendants were successful in obtaining a dismissal of the Initial Complaint. In February 2011, ERC recast the Initial Complaint and filed a second complaint (the “Second Complaint”) basically making the same allegations as in the Initial Complaint. Defendants timely answered the Second Complaint and denied all of ERC’s allegations. The parties are currently engaged in discovery, and the Defendants are vigorously defending the lawsuit and are preparing to move for summary judgment. The Defendants are optimistic that they will prevail in the lawsuit. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Carrollton has already incurred significant legal expenses as a result of this matter and anticipates incurring additional legal expenses in the future. Accordingly, an estimate of the ultimate loss or ultimate range of loss cannot be made at this time.
