                  Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   Investments in Local Limited Partnerships (continued)

The  Partnership's  ownership  interest  in each Local  Limited  Partnership  is
generally 99%. The Partnership's share of net loss for the six months ended June
30, 1997 is $168,990.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997,  the  Partnership
has not recognized  $459,211 of equity in losses relating to eight Local Limited
Partnerships where cumulative equity in losses and cumulative distributions have
exceeded its total investments. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 1997,
the  Partnership  recognized  $88,472 of equity in losses which were  previously
unrecognized.
               
As  previously   reported,   the  mortgagor  for  Oakdale  Manor  had  initiated
foreclosure  proceedings.  The  foreclosure  proceedings  for Oakdale Manor were
finalized on June 3, 1997. As the Local Limited Partnership had a carrying value
of zero, the only financial statement effect was as cancellation of indebtedness
income of $1,247,144 on a purchase  note payable and its accrued  interest.  See
Note 2 for additional detail.


2.   Disposition of Investment in Local Limited Partnership

As expected,  the new mortgagee for Oakdale Manor foreclosed on this property on
June  3,  1997.  The  only  effect  on  the  Partnership  was   cancellation  of
indebtedness  income  related  to a purchase  note  payable  and its  associated
accrued interest. No obligation was due on the purchase note payable as the note
was collateralized  only by the Partnership's  interest in Oakdale Manor, which,
at June 3, 1997, had a carrying value of zero. For tax purposes, the consequence
of the foreclosure is that investors may have a capital and/or ordinary gain and
resulting  taxable  income as a result of the  disposal  of this  Local  Limited
Partnership.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
                        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1997,  the  Partnership  had cash and cash  equivalents  of $157,915
compared  with  $124,878 at December  31,  1996.  The  increase in cash and cash
equivalents   is  due  to  cash   distributions   received  from  Local  Limited
Partnerships offset by purchases of marketable  securities in excess of proceeds
from sales and  maturities of marketable  securities and cash used for operating
activities.

At June 30, 1997,  approximately  $954,000 has been  reserved and is invested in
various securities.  The Reserves, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, were
established to be used for working capital of the Partnership and  contingencies
related to the ownership of Local Limited Partnership interests. Reserves may be
used to fund  Partnership  operating  deficits,  if the Managing General Partner
deems funding appropriate in order to protect its investment.

Since the  Partnership  has invested as a limited  partner in all Local  Limited
Partnerships,  it has no contractual  duty to provide  additional funds to Local
Limited Partnerships beyond its specified  investment.  At June 30, 1997, it did
not have any  contractual or other  obligation to any Local Limited  Partnership
which had not been paid or provided for.

Future cash  distributions will be derived almost exclusively from distributions
of net cash provided by operations of the Local Limited Partnerships.  Such cash
is not expected to be significant in 1997, and therefore,  there is no assurance
that  adequate  cash will be available to warrant cash  distributions  in future
years.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's  results of operations for the three and six months ended June
30 1997 resulted in net income of $1,338,701 and  $1,373,152,  respectively,  as
compared  to net  income of  $43,231  and  $22,887,  respectively,  for the same
periods in 1996.  These  increases in net income are primarily  attributable  to
cancellation  of indebtedness  income  resulting from the foreclosure on Oakdale
Manor  on  June  3,  1997.  Please  refer  to  the  section  entitled  `Property
Discussions'  for more detail.  This income was  supplemented  by an increase in
distribution income received from Local Limited Partnerships.

The equity in losses of Local  Limited  Partnerships  is zero due to  cumulative
losses and  cumulative  distributions  in excess of the  investment in the Local
Limited  Partnerships.  Distribution income was received from four Local Limited
Partnerships  during the six months  ended June 30,  1997.  Please  refer to the
section  entitled  `Property  Discussions'  section for more  information on the
property operations.


Property Discussions

The  Partnership  owns  limited  partnership  interests  in  ten  Local  Limited
Partnerships  which own and operate  multi-family  residential  properties.  The
Partnership also owns investments in securities in which its Reserves are held.

Three of the Local  Limited  Partnerships  are  operating at deficits  (net loss
adjusted for depreciation,  mortgage principal payments and replacement  reserve
payments).  In past years,  the Local  General  Partners  funded these  deficits
either through non-interest bearing project expense loans or subordinated loans,
repayable  only out of cash flow or proceeds from a sale or  refinancing  of the
given project.  Once a project achieves break-even,  substantial amounts of cash
flow derived from its operations will be used to repay project expense loans and
subordinated  loans  until the loans are  repaid  in full.  To  address  current
deficits or other financial difficulties,  Local General Partners are working to
increase rental income and reduce operating  expenses,  working with the lenders
to refinance property mortgages or seeking other sources of capital.  Management
may make voluntary  advances from the Partnership's  Reserves to a Local Limited
Partnership  encountering  operating  difficulties  if it is deemed to be in the
best interest of the Partnership to provide such funds.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Property Discussions (continued)

As previously reported, in March 1996 the local general partner of Mountain View
and Woodmeade  South  Apartments  placed both of the properties  into Chapter 11
bankruptcy.  The Partnership relinquished its equity interest in these two Local
Limited   Partnerships  which  had  no  impact  on  the  Partnership   financial
statements,  because  the  Partnership's  investment  in the two  Local  Limited
Partnerships  had  a  carrying  value  of  zero.   However,   the  Partnership's
relinquishment  of its interest in these  properties  means that the Partnership
will get no future cash distributions  from these properties.  For tax purposes,
the 1996 tax returns were the final return for these  partnerships.  There was a
taxable  gain  associated  with the disposal of the Local  Limited  Partnerships
which resulted in taxable income to the Partnership.

Since the August  1996 sale of Chelsea  Village's  mortgage,  the Local  General
Partner  continues to  negotiate a  satisfactory  arrangement  with the mortgage
buyer. The  Partnership's  ability to retain its interest,  currently carried at
zero on the Partnership's financial statements, in this Partnership depends upon
a satisfactory outcome to these negotiations.

As  previously  reported,  the mortgages of Oakdale Manor and Woods of Castleton
were sold to separate buyers in HUD's May 1996 non-performing loan auction.  The
Local  General  Partner of Woods of Castleton  is working  with various  lenders
seeking a source of capital to refinance  the  mortgage;  in the  meantime,  the
property has resumed  making debt service  payments to the new note holder.  The
Managing General Partner  completed  negotiations with the Local General Partner
and agreed to a modification of the  Partnership  Agreement.  This  modification
granted the Local General Partner the potential cash and residual  benefits from
the property in exchange for their input of the capital required to complete any
refinancing  transaction.  The modification also includes provisions which allow
the Fund to exit from its  interest in the  Property at a time of its  choosing.
The  Managing  General  Partner  believes  that these  concessions  will have no
material  affect  on the  Fund in the  future  given  the  current  value of the
property.  As expected,  the new mortgagee for Oakdale Manor  foreclosed on this
property  on June 3,  1997.  The  only  effect  on the  Partnership's  financial
statements  will  be  the  cancellation  of  indebtedness   income  because  the
Partnership  is a  limited  partner  and  the  purchase  note  payable  and  the
corresponding  interest accrued as of December 31, 1996 are collateralized  only
by the Partnership's  interest in Oakdale Manor,  which currently has a carrying
value of zero.  Investors may have a capital and/or  ordinary gain and resulting
taxable income as a result of the disposal of this Local Limited Partnership.
