NOTE 6 - 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 whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The notes payable and amounts due for partnership interests are collateralized by the Partnership’s investment in two Local Limited Partnerships and are payable only out of cash distributions from the Local Limited Partnerships. The operations generated by the Local Limited Partnerships, 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 March 31, 2013, the Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its other assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated balance sheet that require such disclosure approximated their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
