                                     PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

Development

         Winthrop Residential Associates I ("WRA I") was originally organized
under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Maryland on January
30, 1981, for the purpose of investing, as a limited partner, in other limited
partnerships which would develop, manage, own, operate and otherwise deal with
apartment complexes assisted by Federal, state or local government agencies
("Local Limited Partnerships") pursuant to programs which do not significantly
restrict distributions to owners or the rates of return on investments in such
complexes. On June 23, 1983, WRA I elected to comply with and be governed by the
Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Act") and filed its
Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement")
with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation. In accordance
with and upon filing its certificate of limited partnership pursuant to the Act,
WRA I changed its name to Winthrop Residential Associates I, A Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership").

         The General Partners of the Partnership are One Winthrop Properties,
Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("One Winthrop" or the "Managing General
Partner"), and Linnaeus-Hampshire Realty Limited Partnership (formerly known as
Linnaeus-Hampshire Realty Company), a Massachusetts limited partnership
("Linnaeus-Hampshire"). One Winthrop is a wholly-owned subsidiary of First
Winthrop Corporation ("First Winthrop"), a Delaware corporation, which in turn
is wholly-owned by Winthrop Financial Associates, A Limited Partnership ("WFA"),
a Maryland limited partnership. See "Employees" below.

         In 1981, the Partnership sold, pursuant to Registration Statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, 25,666 Units of limited partnership
interest ("Unit") at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit (an aggregate of
$25,666,000). Capital contributions net of selling commissions and sales
registration costs were utilized to purchase interests in 16 Local Limited
Partnerships and the remainder in temporary short-term investments.

         The only business of the Partnership is investing as a limited partner
in other limited partnerships that own apartment complexes originally subsidized
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). The Partnership
initially acquired equity interests in the form of limited partnership

                                       2
<PAGE>

interests in 16 Local Limited Partnerships owning and operating apartment
complexes. The Partnership completed its acquisitions in May 1982. The
Partnership has sold its interests in six properties: Greentree Apartments
(November 1986), Marsh Cove Apartments (December 1986), Orchard Hill (October
1988), Racquet Club (May 1989), Columbine (May 1989) and Heritage Hills
Townhouses (1997). See "Item 2. Description of Properties." A seventh property,
Copperfield Apartments, was sold in 1985 by its Local Limited Partnership which
provided seller financing with a second mortgage. The buyer subsequently
defaulted on the second mortgage in 1988, and the Local Limited Partnership
completed the reacquisition of the property in August 1991. In 1998, the
Partnership sold a portion of its interest in Copperfield Apartments (see
"Property Matters" below). The Partnership lost its ownership interests in The
Park Apartments, Candlewood Apartments and The Villas when HUD foreclosed on the
Local Limited Partnerships owning those properties in August 1993, January 1995,
and December 1999, respectively. The mortgage encumbering Stonewood Apartments
was foreclosed in March 1996 and Shadowbrook Apartments was effectively deeded
in lieu of foreclosure to the lender in August 1996. See "Defaults" below.

Property Matters

         Copperfield Apartments. The Partnership sold a portion of its interest
in First Investment Limited Partnership 1 ("First Investment"), the local
limited partnership which owns Copperfield Apartments, to the general partner of
First Investment. The Partnership now owns a 50% interest in First Investment.
The sales price of $175,000 was paid with a promissory note which matures on
December 31, 2008, and is secured by the purchaser's interest in First
Investment. The promissory note accrues interest at 8% per annum. As specified
in the promissory note, one half of the general partner's future distributions
from First Investment will be required to repay the note. During September 1998,
$70,000 of the principal balance and $5,000 of accrued interest was paid
resulting in an outstanding balance on the note at December 31, 1998 of $107,000
of principal and accrued interest. During 1997, the Partnership recorded a
$762,000 write-down of its investment in Copperfield Apartments to its net
realizable value.

         On August 31, 1998, Copperfield Apartments refinanced its mortgage. The
new mortgage in the amount of $1,200,000 replaced indebtedness of approximately
$725,000. The mortgage bears interest at 6.40%, requires monthly payments of
$8,000 and matures on September 1, 2008, with a balloon payment of approximately
$1,039,000. A premium is to be calculated under the terms of the mortgage if the
loan is prepaid. During


                                       3
<PAGE>

September 1998, Copperfield Apartments distributed $150,000 of refinancing
proceeds to the Partnership.

         Heritage Hills. In July 1997, the Local Limited Partnership owning
Heritage Hills Townhouses sold the property. Net proceeds distributed to the
Partnership as a result of the sale totaled $506,000.

Defaults

         As noted above, the Partnership holds limited partnership interests in
Local Limited Partnerships, which own apartment properties, all of which were
originally financed with HUD-insured first mortgages. If a Local Limited
Partnership defaults on a HUD-insured mortgage, the mortgagee can assign the
defaulted mortgage to HUD and recover the principal owed on its first mortgage
from HUD. HUD, in its discretion, may then either (i) negotiate a workout
agreement with the Local Limited Partnership, (ii) sell the mortgage to another
lender, or (iii) pursue its right to transfer the ownership of the property from
the Local Limited Partnership to HUD through a foreclosure action. The objective
of a workout agreement between an owner and HUD is to secure HUD's sanction of a
plan which, over time, will cure any mortgage delinquencies. While a workout
agreement is effective and its terms are being met, HUD agrees not to pursue any
remedies available to it as a result of the default. If the owner does default
under the terms of the workout agreement or if HUD concludes that a property in
default lacks the ability to generate sufficient revenue to cure its default, it
may pursue its right to assume ownership of the property through foreclosure.
HUD may also sell the mortgage to another lender. Some workout agreements
terminate upon the sale of the mortgage to another lender.

         The Local Limited Partnership owning Shadowbrook defaulted on its
mortgage in November 1987, and the mortgage was subsequently assigned by the
lender to HUD. In August 1996, unable to reach a resolution to cure the default,
this property was effectively deeded in lieu of foreclosure to the lender.

         The Local Limited Partnership owning The Villas defaulted on its
mortgage obligation in November 1991. The lender assigned the mortgage to HUD in
August 1992. On September 1, 1996, a provisional workout agreement was entered
into with HUD. This agreement expired on August 31, 1997. The provisional
workout agreement was extended through December 30, 1998. In December 1999, the
Local Limited Partnership and HUD were unable to reach a resolution to cure the
default or extend the workout, and HUD foreclosed on the Property.



                                       4
<PAGE>

         The Local Limited Partnership, which owns Albany Landings Apartments,
has incurred significant operating losses and cash flow deficits and, as a
result, is in default on its mortgage indebtedness. Accordingly, if the default
cannot be cured or the an agreement negotiated with the lender, this property
may be lost through foreclosure. The Partnership's investment in this Local
Limited Partnership had previously been written-down to zero.

         The Local Limited Partnership owning Stonewood defaulted on its
mortgage in February 1988, and the mortgage was assigned to HUD in September
1988. The Local Limited Partnership was unable to negotiate a workout proposal,
which HUD will approve. In May 1995, HUD sold the mortgage to Condor One, Inc.
The Local Limited Partnership signed a pre-negotiation agreement with the new
lender and submitted various proposals to the new lender all of which were
rejected. The new owner of the mortgage foreclosed on its mortgage on March 14,
1996.

         All of the Local Limited Partnerships face the possibility that HUD or
a new lender if HUD sells its mortgage, (collectively the "Lender") could
foreclose on the properties as long as (i) the Lender and the Local Limited
Partnerships have not entered into a workout agreement; and (ii) there is unpaid
interest and principal owed the Lender, and the Lender determines that it is
unlikely that the property can generate sufficient revenue to cure the mortgage
delinquency.

Employees

         The Partnership does not have any employees. Services were performed
for the Partnership until December 16, 1997 by the Managing General Partner, and
Winthrop Management LLC, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner.

         On December 16, 1997, the Managing General Partner and certain of its
affiliates entered into a Services Agreement with Coordinated Services of
Valdosta, LLC ("Coordinated Services") pursuant to which Coordinated Services
was retained to provide asset management and investor services to the
Partnership and certain affiliated partnerships. As a result of this agreement,
Coordinated Services has the right to direct the day to day affairs of the
Partnership, including, without limitation, reviewing and analyzing potential
sale, refinancing or restructuring proposals by Local Limited Partnerships,
preparation of all Partnership reports, maintaining Partnership records and
maintaining bank accounts of the Partnership. Coordinated Services is not
permitted, however, without the


                                       5
<PAGE>

consent of the Managing General Partner, or as otherwise required under the
terms of the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement") to, among other things, cause the Partnership to consent to a sale
of an asset or cause the Partnership to file for bankruptcy. As compensation for
providing these services, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates
assigned to Coordinated Services all of their right to receive fees from the
Partnership as provided in the Partnership Agreement. See "Item 12. Certain
Relations and Related Transactions."

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related
        Stockholder Matters.

         The Partnership is a partnership and thus has no common stock. There is
no active market for the Units. Trading in the Units is sporadic and occurs
solely through private transactions.

         As of March 1, 2000, there were 2,757 holders of Units holding 25,585
units.

         The Partnership Agreement requires that any Cash Available for
Distribution (as defined in said agreement) be distributed monthly or quarterly
to the Partners in specified proportions and priorities. There are no outside
restrictions on the Partnership's present or future ability to make
distributions of Cash Available for Distribution. There was no Cash Available
for Distribution in 1999 or 1998.

         Over the past few years many companies have begun making "mini-tenders"
(offers to purchase an aggregate of less than 5% of the total outstanding units)
for limited partnership interests in the Partnership. Pursuant to the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, when a tender offer is commenced for
Units the Partnership is required to provide limited partners with a statement
setting forth whether it believes limited partners should tender or whether it
is remaining neutral with respect to the offer. Unfortunately, the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission do not require that the bidders in certain
tender offers provide the Partnership with a copy of their offer. As a result,
the Managing General Partner often does not become aware of such offers until
shortly before they are scheduled to expire or even after they have expired.
Accordingly, the Managing General Partner does not have sufficient time to
advise you of its position on the tender. In this regard, please be advised that
pursuant to the discretionary right granted to the Managing General Partner of
your partnership in the Partnership Agreement to reject any transfers of units,
the Managing General Partner will not permit the transfer of any Unit in
connection with a tender offer unless: (i) the Partnership is provided with a
copy of the bidder's offering materials, including amendments thereto,
simultaneously with their distribution to the limited partners; (ii) the offer
provides for withdrawal rights at any time prior to the expiration date of the
offer and, if payment is not made by the bidder within 60 days of the date of
the offer, after such 60 day period; and (iii) the offer must be open for at
least 20 business days and, if a material change is made to the offer, for at
least 10 business days following such change.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

         The matters discussed in this Form 10-KSB contain certain
forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including
changing market conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed
in the disclosure contained in this Form 10-KSB and the other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Partnership from time to time.
The discussion of the Partnership's liquidity, capital resources and results of
operations, including forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters,
does not take into account the effects of any changes to the Partnership's
operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors,
including those identified herein.

         This Item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and other items contained elsewhere in the report.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership retained an equity interest in
six Local Limited Partnerships, five of which own one apartment complex. The
property owned by the other Local Limited Partnership was foreclosed upon by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") in December 1999. The
properties are located throughout the United States.

         The level of liquidity based on cash and cash equivalents experienced a
$9,000 decrease for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to December
31, 1998. The Partnership's distribution received from a Local Limited
Partnership of $73,000 (investing activities) was more than offset by $82,000 of
net cash used in operating activities. At December 31, 1999, the Partnership had
$446,000 in cash and cash equivalents, which had been invested primarily in
short-term certificates of deposit and a money market account.

         The Partnership's primary source of income is distributions from the
Local Limited Partnerships. The Partnership requires cash to pay management
fees, general and administrative expenses and to make capital contributions to
any of the Local Limited Partnerships which the Managing General Partner deems
to be in the Partnership's best interest to preserve its ownership interest. To
date, all cash requirements have been satisfied by interest income, cash
distributed by the Local Limited Partnerships to the Partnership or by loans.

         The loan payable to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner which
bears interest at prime plus 1% is repayable from cash flows generated by the
Local Limited Partnerships and the proceeds of any sales of real estate owned by
the Local Limited Partnerships. The outstanding principal balance and accrued
interest on the loan was approximately $354,000 and $328,000 at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The Partnership did not make cash distributions to
its partners during 1999 or 1998.

         The Partnership does not intend to make advances to fund future
operating deficits incurred by any Local Limited Partnership, but retains its
prerogative to exercise business judgment to reverse this position if
circumstances change. Moreover, the Partnership is not obligated to provide any
additional funds to the Local Limited Partnerships to fund operating deficits.
If a Local Limited Partnership sustains continuing operating deficits and has no
other sources of funding, it is likely that it will eventually default on its
mortgage obligations and risk a foreclosure on its property by the lender. If a
foreclosure were to occur, the Local Limited Partnership would lose its
investment in the property and would incur a tax liability due to the recapture
of tax benefits taken in prior years. The Partnership, as an owner of the Local
Limited Partnership, would share these consequences in proportion to its
ownership interest in the Local Limited Partnership.

         The Local Limited Partnership which owns The Villas Apartments
previously entered into a provisional workout agreement with HUD. This agreement
expired on December 30, 1998. In December 1999, HUD foreclosed on the Villas
Apartments. For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's investment in
this Local Limited Partnership had previously been written down to zero. For tax
reporting purposes, the Partnership will incur a tax liability due to the
recapture of tax benefits taken in prior years in proportion to its ownership
interest in the Local Limited Partnership.

         The Cedar Lake Ltd. Local Limited Partnership has incurred significant
operating losses and cash flow deficits, and is currently in default on its
mortgage. Therefore, this property may be lost through foreclosure. For
financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's investment in this Local Limited
Partnership had previously been written down to zero. For tax reporting
purposes, the Partnership would incur a tax liability due to the recapture of
tax benefits taken in prior years in proportion to its ownership interest in the
Local Limited Partnership.

         Results of Operations

         The Partnership's net loss increased by $43,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999, as compared to 1998, due to a decrease in revenues of $43,000
while expenses remained constant.



                                       11

         Income declined primarily due to an increase of $70,000 in equity in
loss from the Local Partnership owning Copperfield Apartments which was
partially offset by a loss on sale of investment in a Local Limited Partnership
of $23,000 which was recorded in 1998. During the year ended December 31, 1999,
the Partnership received $73,000 from the Local Limited Partnership which owns
the Lynwood property. During 1998, $51,000 was received from the Local Limited
Partnership which owns the Lynwood property and $23,000 from the Local Limited
Partnerships owning the Shadowbrook property. The Shadowbrook property was lost
through foreclosure during 1996.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


To the Partners
Winthrop Residential Associates I, A Limited Partnership

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Winthrop Residential
Associates I, A Limited Partnership (a Maryland limited partnership) as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of operations, partners'
capital and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not
audit the financial statements of certain Local Limited Partnerships, the
investments in which are reflected in the accompanying financial statements
using the equity method of accounting and were written down to zero (see Note
1). Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for those Local Limited Partnerships, is based solely on the reports of other
auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. 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 and the reports of other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Winthrop Residential Associates I, A Limited
Partnership as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

            WINTHROP RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATES I, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998


1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Organization

     Winthrop Residential Associates I, A Limited Partnership (the
     "Partnership") was organized on January 30, 1981 under the Uniform Limited
     Partnership Act of the State of Maryland to invest in limited partnerships
     (the "Local Limited Partnerships") that develop, manage, operate and
     otherwise deal in government-assisted apartment complexes. At December 31,
     1999, the Partnership has investments in six Local Limited Partnerships,
     five of which own one apartment complex. The property owned by the other
     Local Limited Partnership was foreclosed upon by the Department of Housing
     and Urban Development ("HUD") in December 1999. The properties are located
     throughout the United States.

     The Partnership was capitalized with approximately $25,667,000 of
     contributions representing 25,666 investor limited partnership units. The
     offering closed in September 1981. The general partners and the initial
     limited partner (10 units) contributed $12,000. At December 31, 1999 and
     1998, there were 25,595 limited partnership units issued and outstanding.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with an original
     maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
     equivalents. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates
     its fair value due to the short term nature of such instruments.

     Uses of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and
     accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Investments in Local Limited Partnerships

     The Partnership accounts for its investment in each Local Limited
     Partnership using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting,
     the investment cost is subsequently adjusted by the Partnership's share of
     the Local Limited Partnership's results of operations and by distributions
     received. Costs relating to the acquisition and selection of the investment
     in the Local Limited Partnerships are capitalized to the investment account
     and amortized over the life of the investment or until the investment
     balance has been written down to zero. Costs in excess of the Partnership's
     initial basis in the net assets of the Local Limited Partnership are
     amortized over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets. Equity
     in the loss of Local Limited Partnerships is not recognized to the extent
     that the investment balance would become negative since the Partnership is
     not obligated to advance funds to the Local Limited Partnerships.

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit

     Net loss per limited partnership unit is computed by dividing net loss
     allocated to the limited partners by the 25,595 units outstanding.

     Income Taxes

     Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax
     returns of its partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made
     in the financial statements of the Partnership.

     Concentration of Credit Risk

     Principally all of the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents consist of
     certificates of deposit and a money market account held by a bank, with
     original maturity dates of three months or less.

     Segment Reporting

     The Partnership has one reportable segment, residential real estate. The
     Partnership evaluates performance based on net operating income, which is
     income before depreciation, amortization, interest and non-operating items.

     Reclassification

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 amounts to conform to
     the 1999 presentation.

2.   ALLOCATION OF PROFITS, LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

     In accordance with the partnership agreement, profits and losses not
     arising from a sale and cash available for distribution from operations
     shall be allocated 5% to the general partners and 95% to the limited
     partners. Gains and distributions of proceeds arising from a sale or
     refinancing are allocated first to the limited partners to the extent of
     their Adjusted Capital Contribution (as defined) and then in accordance
     with the partnership agreement, however, the general partner is allocated
     at least 1% of the gain. Losses from a sale or refinancing are allocated 1%
     to the general partners and 99% to the limited partners. If there are no
     sale proceeds, gains from a sale are allocated 5% to the general partners
     and 95% to the limited partners.

3.   TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

     One Winthrop Properties, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner") is a wholly
     owned subsidiary of First Winthrop Corporation, which in turn is controlled
     by Winthrop Financial Associates, A Limited Partnership.

                                   (Continued)


3.   TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (Continued)

     The Managing General Partner and certain of its affiliates have a Services
     Agreement with Coordinated Services of Valdosta, LLC ("Coordinated
     Services") pursuant to which Coordinated Services provides asset management
     and investor services to the Partnership and certain affiliated
     partnerships. As a result of this agreement, Coordinated Services has the
     right to direct the day to day affairs of the Partnership. Coordinated
     Services is not permitted, however, without the consent of the Managing
     General Partner, or as otherwise required under the terms of the
     partnership agreement to, among other things, cause the Partnership to
     consent to a sale of an asset or cause the Partnership to file for
     bankruptcy. Coordinated Services is entitled to a management fee for these
     services equal to 10% of the Partnership's share of cash distributions from
     the Local Limited Partnerships, not to exceed one half of 1% of the sum of
     (a) the amount of the Partnership's aggregate total investment in all Local
     Limited Partnerships, plus (b) the Partnership's allocable share of all
     liens and mortgages secured by the projects of all Local Limited
     Partnerships. Coordinated Services, which is a related party for financial
     reporting purposes only, earned management fees of $7,000 and $5,000 for
     the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     The Partnership has a loan payable to an affiliate in the amount of
     $289,000 which bears interest at the prime rate plus 1% (9.5% and 8.75% at
     December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively), and is repayable from cash flows
     generated by the Local Limited Partnerships and the proceeds of any sales
     of real estate owned by the Local Limited Partnerships. The principal
     balance and accrued interest on the loan was $354,000 and $328,000 at
     December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Due to the nature of the loan
     payable, it is not practicable to estimate fair value because it cannot be
     determined whether financing with similar terms and conditions would be
     available to the Partnership.

4.   INVESTMENTS IN LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

     As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership has Limited Partnership equity
     interests in five Local Limited Partnerships each owning one apartment
     complex and one Local Limited Partnership which was foreclosed upon by HUD
     in December 1999. Such interests are summarized as follows:

                                                                      Percentage
             Local Limited Partnership                                Ownership

      The Villas, Ltd. (The Villas Apartments)
               (foreclosed upon in December of 1999)                      99%
      Lynndale Apartments, Ltd. (Lynwood Park Apartments)                 50%
      Stonegate Apartments Limited Partnership (Stonegate Apartments)     93%
      Cedar Lake, Ltd. (Albany Landing Apartments)                        99%
      College Green Limited Partnership (College Green Apartments)        95%
      First Investment Limited Partnership I (Copperfield Apartments)     50%

4.   INVESTMENTS IN LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (Continued)

     The above Local Limited Partnerships have outstanding mortgages totaling
     $15,276,000, which are secured by the Local Limited Partnerships' real
     property, security interests, liens and endorsements common to first
     mortgage loans.

     On May 1, 1998, the Partnership sold a portion of its interest in First
     Investment Limited Partnership I ("Copperfield Apartments"), to the general
     partner of the Local Limited Partnership. As a result, the Partnership's
     interest in Copperfield Apartments was reduced to a 50% interest. The sales
     price was $175,000, payable with a promissory note (the "Note"), maturing
     on December 31, 2008, and secured by the interest in the Local Limited
     Partnership. The promissory note accrues interest at 8% per annum. As
     specified in the Note, one half of the general partner's future
     distributions from Copperfield Apartments are required to repay the note.
     On August 31, 1998, Copperfield Apartments refinanced its mortgage. During
     September 1998, Copperfield Apartments distributed $150,000 of refinancing
     proceeds to the Partnership and the general partner of Copperfield
     Apartments repaid $70,000 of the principal balance and $5,000 of accrued
     interest due on the note. The balance of the note receivable consists of
     principal of $105,000 and accrued interest of $11,000 at December 31, 1999.

     During 1999 and 1998, the Partnership made no additional investments in the
     Local Limited Partnerships. As of December 31, 1998, the net cumulative
     operating deficit funded by the Partnership to the Local Limited
     Partnerships was $3,249,000, which the Partnership has recorded as capital
     contributions. However, the Local Limited Partnerships have accounted for
     $2,213,000 of these investments as operating deficit advances and $898,000
     as capital contributions. The remaining $138,000 represents a purchase of
     interests in a Local Limited Partnership, which is not accounted for by the
     Local Limited Partnership.

     The Local Limited Partnership which owns The Villas Apartments previously
     entered into a provisional workout agreement with HUD. This agreement
     expired on December 30, 1998. In December 1999, HUD foreclosed on the
     Villas Apartments. For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's
     investment in this Local Limited Partnership had previously been written
     down to zero.

     The Cedar Lake Ltd. Local Limited Partnership has incurred significant
     operating losses and cash flow deficits and is currently in default on its
     mortgage. Therefore, this property may be lost through foreclosure. For
     financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's investment in this Local
     Limited Partnership had previously been written down to zero.

                                       28

Forms, reports required by section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the most

Item 11. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

         (a)      Security ownership of certain beneficial owners.

         The General Partners own the entire general partnership interest. No
person or group is known by the Partnership to be the beneficial owner of more
than 5% of the outstanding Units at March 15, 2000. Under the Partnership
Agreement, the voting rights of the Limited Partners are limited and, in some
circumstances, are subject to the prior receipt of certain opinions of counsel
or judicial decisions.

         Under the Partnership Agreement, the right to manage the business of
the Partnership is vested in the General Partners and is generally to be
exercised only by the Managing General Partner, although approval of the other
General Partner, Linnaeus, is required as to all investments in Local Limited
Partnerships and in connection with any votes or consents arising out of the
ownership of a Local Limited Partnership interest.

         (b)      Security ownership of management.

         None of the officers, directors or general partners of the General
Partner or their respective officers, directors or general partners owned any
Units at March 15, 1999 in individual capacities; however, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of First Winthrop owns 100 Units and Winthrop Financial Associates, A
Limited Partnership owns 5 Units (.60% in the aggregate).

         (c)      Changes in control.

                  There exists no arrangement known to the Partnership the
operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the
Partnership. On December 16, 1997, the Managing General Partner and certain of
its affiliates entered into a Services Agreement with Coordinated Services
pursuant to which Coordinated Services was retained to provide asset management
and investor services to the Partnership and certain affiliated partnerships. As
a result of this agreement, Coordinated Services has the right to direct the day
to day affairs of the Partnership, including, without limitation, reviewing and
analyzing potential sale, refinancing or restructuring proposals by Local
Limited Partnerships, preparation of all Partnership reports, maintaining
Partnership records and maintaining bank accounts of the Partnership.
Coordinated Services is not permitted, however, without the consent of the
Managing General Partner, or as otherwise required under the terms of the
Partnership's Agreement of Limited

Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") to, among other things cause the
Partnership to consent to a sale of an asset or cause the Partnership to file
for bankruptcy. As compensation for providing these services, the Managing
General Partner and its affiliates assigned to Coordinated Services all of their
right to receive fees from the Partnership as provided in the Partnership
Agreement.

affiliates are entitled to receive various fees, commissions, cash
distributions, allocations of taxable income or loss and expense reimbursements
