YES NO X Part I. Financial Information Item 1. Financial Statements No financial statements for America First Tax Exempt Investors, L.P. (the "Registrant") have been included in this report because the Registrant has not yet been capitalized or begun operations. Accordingly, the Registrant had no assets or liabilities as of September 30, 1998, and no income or loss for the period then ended. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation." Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Registrant was formed as a Delaware limited partnership on April 2, 1998, but has not yet been capitalized or begun operations. On April 10, 1998, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") (which Merger Agreement was amended on June 12, 1998) with America First Tax Exempt Mortgage Fund 2 Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Tax Exempt Fund"), pursuant to which the Registrant and the Tax Exempt Fund will merge under Delaware law with the Registrant as the surviving limited partnership of the merger. Upon consummation of the merger, the Registrant will succeed to all of the assets, liabilities and business operations of the Tax Exempt Fund. The Merger Agreement contains a number of conditions precedent to the merger, including the receipt of the consent from a majority-in-interest of the limited partners of the Tax Exempt Fund. The Registrant expects that the merger with the Tax Exempt Fund will occur during the fourth quarter of 1998, subject to the receipt of such consents. Accordingly, the Registrant expects to begin business operations, as the successor-in-interest to the Tax Exempt Fund, during the fourth quarter of 1998. Such operations will be reflected in the report on Form 10-K filed by the Registrant with respect to such year. Part II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
