NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, when it is practicable to estimate that value. The notes payable and amounts due for partnership interests are collateralized by the Partnership’s investment in one Local Limited Partnership and are payable only out of cash distributions from the Local Limited Partnership. The operations generated by the Local Limited Partnership, which account for the Partnership’s primary source of revenues, are subject to various government rules, regulations and restrictions which make it impracticable to estimate the fair value of the notes and related accrued interest payable. At June 30, 2011, the carrying amounts of other assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require such disclosure approximated their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
