                                                                PART I

Item 1.  Business

Boston Financial  Apartments  Associates,  L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership formed on July 21, 1981 under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of
the State of Delaware.  The  Partnership  raised  $21,910,000  of equity ("Gross
Proceeds") through the sale of limited partnership  interests of $1,000 per unit
with a minimum  purchase of five units.  Such amounts exclude five  unregistered
units  previously  acquired for $1,000 each by the initial limited  partner,  an
affiliate of the general partners.

The  Partnership  is engaged  solely in the business of real estate  investment.
Therefore, the Partnership's business is considered one segment and is presented
in that manner.

The Partnership has invested as a limited partner in other limited  partnerships
("Local Limited  Partnerships") which own and operate  multi-family  residential
properties  ("Properties")  which  are  assisted  by  federal,  state  or  local
government  agencies  pursuant to programs which do not  significantly  restrict
distributions to owners or the rate of return on investments in such Properties.
The  investment  objectives of the  Partnership  include the  following:  (i) to
preserve  and  protect  the  Partnership's  capital;  (ii)  to  provide  capital
appreciation through  appreciation in value of the Properties;  (iii) to provide
"tax losses" during the early years of the  Partnership's  operations  which the
Limited  Partner may use to offset  income from other  sources;  (iv) to provide
annual  cash  distributions  to  Partners  derived  from  distributions  to  the
Partnership from Local Limited Partnerships;  and (v) to build additional equity
through reduction of mortgage loans of the Local Limited Partnerships. There can
be no assurance that the Partnership  will attain any or all of these investment
objectives.

After completing its program of investment in Local Limited  Partnerships during
1983, the Partnership purchased interests in 15 Local Limited Partnerships, each
of which  owned a Property  with first  mortgage  financing  provided  under the
Section  221(d)(4)  insurance program of the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development  ("HUD").  The original cost of real estate owned by Local
Limited  Partnerships,  inclusive  of equity  payments by the  Partnership,  was
$86,660,000.

On December  31, 1993,  the  Partnership  transferred  its interest in Captain's
Landing  Associates,  Ltd. to an unrelated party for a nominal amount.  Also, on
January 12, 1994,  Oakwood  Terrace  Associates,  Ltd. was sold in a foreclosure
auction  conducted  by HUD.  As a result  of the  foreclosure,  the  Partnership
disposed of its  interest  in the  property.  The  Managing  General  Partner of
Overland Station  Investment Company sold the property on January 12, 1995. From
the sale,  the  Partnership  received  $1,274,833  which was used to pay down an
acquisition  note payable and make a  distribution.  In  addition,  on March 24,
1996, the Local General Partner of Mountain View, Ltd. and Woodmeade South, Ltd.
placed both of the  properties  into Chapter 11  bankruptcy.  Consequently,  the
Partnership  relinquished  its  equity  interest  in  these  two  Local  Limited
Partnerships.  A more detailed discussion of the transactions is contained under
Property Dispositions in Item 2 of this Report on Form 10-K.

Table A on the following page lists the Local Limited  Partnerships in which the
Partnership invested.  Other significant  information with respect to such Local
Limited Partnerships can be found in Item 2 of this Report on Form 10-K.

Although the  Partnership's  investments in Local Limited  Partnerships  are not
subject to  seasonal  fluctuations,  the  Partnership's  equity in loss of Local
Limited  Partnerships,  to the extent it reflects the  operations  of individual
properties, may vary from fiscal quarter to fiscal quarter based upon changes in
occupancy and operating expenses as a result of seasonal factors.

(A)    The  Partnership's  interest in profits and losses of each Local  Limited
       Partnership  arising from normal operations is approximately  99%, except
       for  Youngstoun  and  Oakdale  Manor,   for  which  the  percentages  are
       approximately 97% and 90%, respectively.  Profits and losses arising from
       certain  capital  transactions  are  allocated  in  accordance  with  the
       respective Local Limited Partnership Agreements.

(B)  Property  Occupancy  is  shown  as  of  each  Local  Limited  Partnership's
     respective fiscal year end, which is December 31, 1996.

(C)    Includes  equity  contributed to the Local Limited  Partnership  plus the
       outstanding  principal  balance  of its  mortgage  loan  at the  date  of
       purchase  (or,  in the case of new  construction  projects,  at HUD Final
       Endorsement)  and  any  notes  made  by the  Partnership  as  part of its
       original purchase.

(D)    The Partnership no longer holds an investment interest in Captain's
       Landing, Mountain View, Oakwood Terrace, Overland Station and Woodmeade
           South as of December 31,1996.

Approximately  $1,022,000  of the Gross  Proceeds was  originally  designated as
Reserves and invested in various  securities  to fund the ongoing  operations of
the Partnership. The Reserves were established to be used for working capital of
the  Partnership  and  contingencies  related to the  ownership of Local Limited
Partnership  interests.  As of  December  31,  1996,  the  General  Partner  has
designated  approximately  $810,000 as Reserves.  Management  believes  that the
investment income earned on the Reserves, along with cash distributions received
from Local Limited Partnerships,  to the extent available, will be sufficient to
fund  the  Partnership's  ongoing  operations.  Reserves  may be  used  to  fund
Partnership  operating  deficits if the Managing  General  Partner deems funding
appropriate.


The  Partnership's  primary  source of working  capital is income  earned on the
Reserves.  Additionally,  the Partnership expects to receive  distributions from
cash flows from operations of its Local Limited Partnership  interests in future
years. It is expected that these sources of funds will provide  adequate working
capital to the Partnership.

Each Local Limited  Partnership  has, as its general  partners  ("Local  General
Partners"),  one or  more  individuals  or  entities  not  affiliated  with  the
Partnership  or  its  General  Partners.  In  accordance  with  the  partnership
agreements under which such entities are organized  ("Local Limited  Partnership
Agreements"),  the  Partnership  depends on the Local  General  Partners for the
management  of each Local  Limited  Partnership.  Not more than 10% of the total
original investment of the Partnership in Local Limited Partnerships,  exclusive
of  disposed  properties,  is invested in Local  Limited  Partnerships  having a
common Local  General  Partner or affiliated  group of Local  General  Partners,
except  that  (i)  the   Castleton,   Chelsea  and   Woodbridge   Local  Limited
Partnerships, representing 33.03% of the total original investment, exclusive of
disposed  properties,  have  affiliates of Gene B. Glick Company,  Inc. as Local
General   Partners,   (ii)  the   Woodmeade  and  Mountain  View  Local  Limited
Partnerships, representing 13.02% of the total original investment, exclusive of
disposed properties, have Hardaway Management Company as Local General Partners,
(iii)  the  Bear  Creek  and  Youngstoun  Apartments,  Phase  II  Local  Limited
Partnerships, representing 11.05% of the total original investment, exclusive of
disposed properties, have Alco Group Limited Partners as Local General Partners,
and (iv) the Westpark  Partnership,  representing  11.77% of the total  original
investment,   exclusive  of  disposed  properties,  has  affiliates  of  Federal
Properties  Investment  Company as the Local General Partner.  The Local General
Partners  of  the  other  Local  Limited  Partnerships  were  identified  in the
Acquisition  Reports. In the event of bankruptcy or default of the Local General
Partners,  or other  conditions  as expressed in the Local  Limited  Partnership
Agreements, in certain cases, an affiliate of the Partnership's Managing General
Partner may elect to become an additional Local General Partner.

The Properties owned by Local Limited  Partnerships in which the Partnership has
invested are, and will continue to be, subject to competition  from existing and
future  apartment  complexes in the same areas.  The success of the  Partnership
will  depend  on many  factors,  most of which are  beyond  the  control  of the
Partnership  and which cannot be predicted  at this time.  Such factors  include
general economic and real estate market conditions, both on a national basis and
in those areas where the Properties are located,  the  availability  and cost of
borrowed funds,  real estate tax rates,  operating  expenses,  energy costs, and
government  regulations.  In  addition,  other  risks  inherent  in real  estate
investment may influence the ultimate success of the Partnership,  including (i)
possible  reduction  in rental  income  due to an  inability  to  maintain  high
occupancy  levels or adequate  rental levels,  (ii) possible  adverse changes in
general economic  conditions and adverse local  conditions,  such as competitive
overbuilding,  or a decrease  in  employment  or adverse  changes in real estate
laws,  including  building  codes,  and (iii) possible  future  adoption of rent
control legislation which would not permit the full amount of increased costs to
be  passed  on to the  tenants  in the form of rent  increases,  or which  would
suppress the ability of the Local  Limited  Partnerships  to generate  operating
cash flow. In particular, changes in federal and state income tax laws affecting
real estate ownership or limited  partnerships could have a material and adverse
effect on the business of the Partnership.

The  Partnership has invested in highly  leveraged  Local Limited  Partnerships.
Since debt service is a fixed  expenditure  as well as a significant  portion of
the  operating  expenses of a property,  changing  economic  forces  cause large
fluctuations in cash flow from operations; that is, highly leveraged investments
carry greater risk. As a result,  break-even operations require higher revenues,
but cash flow from  operations  increases  quickly as  operations  improve  over
break-even.  Conversely,  deficits  increase  quickly as  operations  fall below
break-even.

The Partnership is managed by BFTG  Residential  Properties,  Inc., the Managing
General Partner of the Partnership.  To economize on direct and indirect payroll
costs, the Partnership, which does not have any employees, reimburses The Boston
Financial Group Limited Partnership  ("Boston  Financial"),  an affiliate of the
General Partners, for certain expenses and overhead costs. A complete discussion
of the  management of the  Partnership is set forth in Item 10 of this Report on
Form 10-K.


Item 2.  Properties

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.

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.  In order for the  Partnership to retain an equity interest in these
properties,  the bankruptcy plan required that the  Partnership  make additional
contributions.   Management   of  the   Partnership   decided  that   additional
contributions   would  not  be  in  the  best   interest  of  the   Partnership.
Consequently,  the  Partnership  relinquished  its equity  interest in these two
Local  Limited  Partnerships.  The  Partnership's  relinquishment  of its equity
interest  in  these  Local  Limited  Partnerships  will  have no  impact  on the
Partnership financial  statements,  because the Partnership is a limited partner
and the two Local Limited Partnerships  currently have a carrying value of zero.
However,  the  Partnership  will be precluded  from realizing any residual value
upon  liquidation.  For tax  purposes,  the 1996 tax  returns  will be the final
return for these partnerships.  There will be a taxable gain associated with the
disposal of the Local Limited  Partnerships  which will result in taxable income
to the Partnership.

Since the August  1996 sale of Chelsea  Village's  mortgage,  the Local  General
Partner is  continuing  in its efforts to negotiate a  satisfactory  arrangement
with the 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
new  mortgagor  for Oakdale  Manor has  initiated  foreclosure  proceedings.  In
response,  the local general  partner filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy and received a
temporary Stay of Foreclosure. If the bankruptcy plan ultimately approved by the
lender requires the Partnership to make additional  capital  contributions,  the
Partnership  will  relinquish its interest in the Property.  If the  Partnership
does  relinquish its interest in Oakdale,  the only effect on the  Partnership's
financial  statements will be the cancellation of indebtedness  income since 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.  However,  the  Partnership  will be precluded from realizing any
residual value upon liquidation of Oakdale Manor.  Depending upon the outcome of
the foreclosure and bankruptcy  proceedings,  investors face significant risk of
incurring  taxable  gain  associated  with the  disposal  of the  Local  Limited
Partnership, which will result in taxable income for the limited partners.

Three of the Local Limited  Partnerships have submitted financial  statements to
the Partnership with modified reports  expressing  substantial doubt as to their
ability  to  continue  as  going  concerns  ("going  concern  reports").   These
partnerships are Chelsea Village, The Woods of Castleton,  and Oakdale Manor. In
general, auditors modify their reports in this regard when substantial doubt has
been  raised  about a  partnership's  ability  to  obtain  sufficient  financial
resources to meet its obligations.

Two of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships,  Woodmeade  South  Associates,  LP and
Mountain View  Associates,  Ltd.,  did not submit audited  financial  statements
because they are in bankruptcy.

At this time, the Partnership has a zero investment  balance in all of the Local
Limited  Partnerships.  A zero investment  balance occurs when the Partnership's
cumulative  losses and  distributions  from such investment  equal or exceed its
original investment in such Local Limited Partnership.

Property Dispositions

As previously  reported,  on December 31, 1993, the Partnership  transferred its
interest in Captain's  Landing to an unrelated  purchaser for an amount equal to
the  Partnership's  costs  associated  with the  transfer.  The  transfer of the
interest  resulted  in a capital  gain which  could be used by the  investor  to
offset passive losses, both current and suspended.

As previously  reported,  HUD foreclosed on Oakwood Terrace on January 12, 1994.
The disposition of this interest did not have any effect on income for financial
reporting  purposes,  as the net  investment  balance of the  interest  is zero.
However,  for tax  purposes,  a  consequence  of the  foreclosure  is  that  the
Partnership  received  allocations  of  capital  gain and  cancellation  of debt
income.  At the individual  investor level, the capital gain and cancellation of
debt income can be offset by passive losses, both current and suspended.

The managing  general partner of Overland  Station  Investment  Company sold the
property on January 12, 1995.  From the sale,  the  Partnership  has  recognized
$2,067,424  of equity in income.  This amount was offset by the  recognition  of
$18,627 of previously  unrecognized  equity in losses.  Also, as a result of the
sale, the Partnership  has recognized a loss on the sale of Overland  Station in
the amount of $773,964.  This amount represents the Local Limited  Partnership's
net book value on the Partnership's books.

The  Partnership  received  proceeds  from the  Overland  sale in the  amount of
$1,274,833.  The  Partnership  used a portion of the sales  proceeds to pay down
$624,833 of an  acquisition  note payable and accrued  interest  with respect to
this property which totaled  $685,833.  The $61,000 balance of these obligations
has been  canceled  and is  recorded  as income on the  Partnership's  financial
statements.  The  Partnership  has distributed the balance of the sales proceeds
plus accrued interest in the amount of $657,450.

On March 24, 1996,  the local  general  partner of Mountain  View and  Woodmeade
South   Apartments   placed  these   properties   into  Chapter  11  bankruptcy.
Consequently,  the Partnership  relinquished  its equity interest in these Local
Limited Partnerships,  the result of which had no effect on income for financial
reporting  purposes as the net  investment  balance on these  interests is zero.
However,  there is a taxable  gain  associated  with the disposal of these Local
Limited Partnerships.



Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

The  Partnership  is not a party to any pending legal or  administrative  
proceeding,  and to the best of its  knowledge,  no legal or  administrative
proceeding is threatened or contemplated against it.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.

                                     PART II


Item 5.  Market for the Registrant's Units and Related Security Holder Matters

There is no public market for the Units,  and it is not expected that any public
market will develop.

The  Partnership  Agreement  does not impose on the  Partnership  or its General
Partners any  obligation to obtain  periodic  appraisals of assets or to provide
Limited  Partners  with any  estimates  of the current  value of Units,  and the
Partnership  does not currently obtain such appraisals or provide such estimates
of value.

The Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership
of the Partnership,  as amended (the "Partnership  Agreement"),  imposes certain
restrictions  on the  transfer of Units.  For  example,  a transfer  will not be
permitted  if: (i)  counsel  for the  Partnership  is of the  opinion  that such
transfer  would result,  when  considered  with all other  transfers  within the
previous  twelve  months,  in the  Partnership's  being  considered to have been
terminated  within the meaning of Section 708 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of
1986,  as  amended,  or would  result in the  Partnership's  being  treated as a
corporation  for Federal income tax purposes;  (ii) counsel for the  Partnership
shall determine that such transfer would violate any applicable federal or state
securities laws (including those pertaining to investor suitability  standards);
or (iii)  transferor  or the  transferee  would  thereafter  hold less than five
Units,  except for  transfers by gift or  inheritance,  inter-family  transfers,
transfers resulting from family dissolutions and certain other transactions. The
Partnership  need not  recognize  any transfer of Units unless an  instrument of
assignment  complying  with certain  requirements  set forth in the  Partnership
Agreement is filed with the Partnership and recorded on the Partnership's books,
and the transferring parties reimburse the Partnership for any expenses incurred
by it in connection  with the  transfer.  Limited  Partners  seeking to transfer
Units  may also be  subject  to the  securities  laws of the  state in which the
transfer is to take place,  in that certain states have imposed  restrictions on
the transfer of Units in the Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995, and 1994, a total of 35, 82 and 36 Units,  respectively,  were transferred
on the resale market.  There were 2,324, 2,331 and 2,380 record holders of Units
of the Partnership at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Cash   distributions,   when  made,  are  paid  annually.   Cash  available  for
distribution  has been and, in the future,  will be derived  almost  exclusively
from   distributions   of  cash  flow  from  operations  of  the  Local  Limited
Partnerships.  Such cash is not  expected  to be  significant  in 1997,  and the
return on  investment to Limited  Partners will consist  primarily of net losses
for federal  income tax purposes used to offset Limited  Partner  passive income
from the  Partnership  and other  sources.  Information  concerning  the  actual
distributions  made in the current year and prior years is included in Item 6 of
this Report on Form 10-K.


Item 6.  Selected Financial Data

The  table on the  following  page sets  forth  selected  financial  information
regarding  the  Partnership's  financial  position and operating  results.  This
information  should be used in  conjunction  with  Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  and the  Financial
Statements and Notes thereto, which are included in this Report on Form 10-K.

       from the proceeds from the sale of Overland Station.  Cash  distributions
       in 1996  represent  cash  flow  generated  in 1994 and  1995.  Since  the
       inception of the Partnership,  distributions have represented a return of
       capital.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition andResults
 of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had cash and cash  equivalents of $124,878
compared  with  $121,361 at December  31,  1995.  The  increase in cash and cash
equivalents  is a result  of cash  distributions  received  from  Local  Limited
Partnerships  and the  proceeds  from  the  sale and  maturities  of  marketable
securities.  These  increases  are  offset by net cash used by  operations,  the
purchase of marketable  securities  and cash  distributions  paid to the limited
partners.

At December 31, 1996,  approximately  $810,000 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.

As of December 31, 1996,  investment in Local Limited  Partnerships  remained at
zero from December 31, 1995.

Since April 1, 1985, the Partnership has been obligated to pay interest from its
own funds on the Oakdale note.  The  Partnership  negotiated  with the seller of
Oakdale to defer these payments, and as such, since October 1, 1986 interest has
been accrued but not paid.  The note was due on April 1, 1995.  During 1996, the
local  general  partner of Oakdale  Manor filed  chapter 11  bankruptcy.  If the
bankruptcy  plan  approved  by the  lender  requires  the  Partnership  to  make
additional capital  contributions,  the Partnership will relinquish its interest
in Oakdale Manor.  If the  Partnership  does relinquish its interest in Oakdale,
the Partnership will not repay the Oakdale note and accrued  interest.  The only
effect on the  Partnership's  financial  statements will be the  cancellation of
indebtedness income, since the Partnership is a limited partner and the note and
interest are collateralized only by the Partnership's interest in Oakdale Manor,
which  currently  has a  carrying  value of zero.  However,  if the  Partnership
relinquishes  its  interest,  it will be precluded  from  realizing any residual
value of Oakdale upon liquidation.  If the  Partnership's  interest is retained,
the note will be repaid as cash flow allows. For tax purposes,  a consequence of
the foreclosure will be that the Partnership will receive allocations of capital
gain and cancellation of indebtedness  income. At the individual investor level,
the  capital  gain and  cancellation  of  indebtedness  income  can be offset by
passive losses, both current and suspended.

Since the Partnership has invested as a limited  partner,  it has no contractual
duty to  provide  additional  funds to Local  Limited  Partnerships  beyond  its
specified investment.  The Partnership's contractual obligations have been fully
met,  except for a limited  recourse  note  described in Note 5 to the Financial
Statements in Item 14(a) of the Report on Form 10-K. Thus, at December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, 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. As of December 31, 1996,  approximately  $17,000 of unpaid  distributions
are due to the General Partners and will be paid in 1997.

Results of Operations

1996 versus 1995

The  Partnership's  results of operations  for the year ended  December 31, 1996
resulted in a net loss of $3,906,  as compared to a net income of  $1,404,655 in
1995.  The net  income  position  in 1995 is due to  equity  in  income of Local
Limited  Partnerships  generated  by the sale of Overland  Station as  discussed
below.  Distribution  income also  decreased in 1996 due to decreased cash flows
from property operations.

1995 versus 1994

The  Partnership's  results of operations  for the year ended  December 31, 1995
resulted in net income of  $1,404,655,  as compared to a net loss of $233,134 in
1994. The change to a net income position is due to the 1995 equity in income of
Local Limited Partnerships generated by the sale of Overland Station. The income
was  supplemented  by  cancellation  of  indebtedness  income,  also  due to the
Overland  Station sale, an increase in cash  distribution  income  received from
Local  Limited  Partnerships  and an increase in investment  income.  Offsetting
these  increases  in income  items was the loss on the  disposition  of Overland
Station and an increase in asset  management fees, as defined by the Partnership
Agreement.


Inflation and Other Economic Factors

Inflation had no material impact on the operations or financial condition of the
Partnerships for the three years ended December 31, 1996.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The equity  securities  registered by the Partnership under Section 12(g) of the

(unregistered) Units.

Except as described  in the  preceding  paragraph,  neither  BFTG,  Milk Street,
Boston Financial,  nor any of their executive officers,  directors,  partners or
affiliates is the beneficial owner of any Units.  None of the foregoing  persons
possesses a right to acquire beneficial ownership of Units.

There exists no arrangement known to the Partnership, the operation of which may

management  services in connection with the  Partnership's  investments in Local
Limited  Partnerships  and receives  certain  reimbursements  for such services.
Currently,  Boston Financial receives an annual fee (the "Management Fee") equal
to 10% of the Partnership's share of cash flow from Local Limited  Partnerships.
However,  the Management Fee is subject to certain  limitations and to reduction
under  certain  circumstances  and is  non-cumulative  and

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners of
Boston Financial Apartments Associates, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership)


We have audited the balance sheets of Boston  Financial  Apartments  Associates,
L.P. (a limited  partnership)  ("the  Partnership")  as of December 31, 1996 and
1995 and the related  statements of operations,  partners' equity  (deficiency),
and cash flows and the  financial  statement  schedule  listed in Item 14 (a) of
this  Report  on Form  10-K for each of the  three  years  in the  period  ended
December 31, 1996. These financial  statements and financial  statement schedule
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express  an  opinion  on these  financial  statements  and  financial  statement
schedule based on our audits.  The  Partnership  accounts for its investments in
Local Limited Partnerships, as discussed in Note 2 of the notes to the financial
statements,  using the equity method of  accounting.  In each of the three years
ended  December  31,  1996,  1995,  and 1994,  100  percent  of equity in income
(losses),  reflected in the financial statements of the Partnership,  relates to
investments  in  Local  Limited  Partnerships  for  which we did not  audit  the
financial   statements.   The  financial   statements  of  these  Local  Limited
Partnerships were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to
us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to those investments in Local Limited
Partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 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 the Partnership at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its  operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.  In  addition,  in our opinion,  the  financial  statement  schedule
referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole,  presents fairly,  in all material  respects,  the information
required to be included therein.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Organization

Boston Financial  Apartment  Associates,  L.P. ("the  Partnership") is a limited
partnership formed on July 21, 1981 under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of
the State of Delaware.  The  Partnership  was organized to invest,  as a limited
partner, in other limited partnerships ("Local Limited  Partnerships") which own
and operate multi-family residential properties.

BFTG Residential  Properties,  Inc. ("the Managing General Partner") is an 
affiliate of The Boston Financial Group Limited  Partnership  
("Boston  Financial").Milk Street Housing Associates,  L.P. (originally  
organized under the name Franklin Housing  Associates),  the other general 
partner, is a limited partnership of which the partners are employees or former 
employees of Boston  Financial.  The initial  limited partner is BFTG Property 
Ventures,  Inc., an affiliate of
Boston Financial.

During 1981 and 1982, the Partnership sold limited  partnership  units producing
gross offering  proceeds of $21,910,000.  Such amounts exclude five unregistered
units previously acquired for $1,000 each by the initial limited partner.

Profits  and losses are  allocated  95% to the  Limited  Partners  and 5% to the
General  Partners.  In the case of certain  events  defined  in the  Partnership
Agreement,  the allocation of the related  profits and losses would be different
from that described above. Profits and losses arising from a sale or refinancing
are  generally  allocated  99% to the  Limited  Partners  and 1% to the  General
Partners.

Cash Available for  Distribution,  as defined in the Partnership  Agreement,  is
allocated  95%  to  the  Limited  Partners  and  5%  to  the  General  Partners.
Approximately  $17,000 of unpaid  distributions  to the  General  Partners as of
December 31, 1996 will be paid in 1997.

Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, as defined in the Partnership  Agreement,  will be
allocated first to the Limited  Partners in the amount of their Adjusted Capital
Contribution,  as defined,  and then 85% to the Limited  Partners and 15% to the
General Partners, after adjustment for certain priority distributions.

At December 31, 1996, the General Partner has designated  approximately $810,000
as Reserves.  Such Reserves may be increased or decreased as deemed  appropriate
from time to time by the Managing  General Partner.  Substantially  all of these
Reserves are invested  for the purpose of providing  revenue to the  Partnership
for ongoing operations and contingencies.


2.       Significant Accounting Policies

The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local Limited Partnerships using
the equity method of  accounting.  Under the equity  method,  the  investment is
carried at cost,  adjusted for the Partnership's share of net income or loss and
for cash distributions from the Local Limited Partnerships;  equity in income or
loss  of  the  Local  Limited   Partnerships   is  included   currently  in  the
Partnership's  operations.  Under the equity method, a Local Limited Partnership
investment  will not be carried  below zero. To the extent that equity in losses
are incurred  when the  Partnership's  carrying  value of the  respective  Local
Limited  Partnership  has been  reduced to a zero  balance,  the losses  will be
suspended and offset against future income. Income from Partnership  investments
where cumulative equity in loss plus cumulative  distributions have exceeded the
total investment in Local Limited Partnerships will not be recorded until all of
the  related  unrecorded  losses  have been  offset.  To the extent that a Local
Limited  Partnership  with a  carrying  value  of zero  distributes  cash to the
Partnership,  that  distribution  is  recorded  as  income  on the  books of the
Partnership  and is  presented  as  "Distribution  Income"  in the  accompanying
financial statements.

To the extent that the Partnership's  investment in a Local Limited  Partnership
exceeded the Partnership's share of fair value of net assets at the time of such
investment, such amounts are being amortized over the life of the

principal assets of the Local Limited Partnership (39 years). Such amortization
is included in the equity in loss of the Local Limited Partnership.

Cash and cash equivalents  consist of short-term  money market  instruments with
maturities of ninety days or less at acquisition.

Marketable securities consists primarily of U.S. Treasury Notes, mortgage-backed
and various other asset-backed investment vehicles. The Partnership's marketable
securities  are  classified as "Available  for Sale"  securities and reported at
fair value as reported by the brokerage  firm at which the  securities are held.
All marketable  securities have fixed maturities.  Realized gains or losses from
the  sales of  securities  are  based  on the  specific  identification  method.
Unrealized  gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in separate
components of partners' equity.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amount of  assets  and  liabilities,  the  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

No provision  for income taxes has been made as the  liability for such taxes is
an obligation of the partners of the Partnership.

Certain amounts in the prior year financial  statements  have been  reclassified
herein to conform with current year presentation.

                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

4.   Investment in Local Limited Partnerships (continued)

As  discussed  in Note 8, the  managing  general  partner  of  Overland  Station
Investment  Company,  a Local Limited  Partnership in which the  Partnership has
invested,  sold the property on January 12, 1995. From the sale, the Partnership
has  recognized  $2,067,424  of equity in income.  This amount was offset by the
recognition of $18,627 of previously unrecognized equity in losses.

The  Partnership  has not recognized  equity losses of $890,665,  $1,556,474 and
$1,786,335 in the years ended  December 31, 1996,  1995 and 1994,  respectively.
These unrecognized losses relate to Local Limited  Partnerships whose cumulative
equity  in  losses  and  cumulative  distributions  have  exceeded  their  total
investment.


5.   Notes Payable and Accrued Interest

Purchase Notes, bearing interest at 10%, had been issued by the Partnership with
respect to its  investments  in certain Local Limited  Partnerships.  Subject to
conditions of the note  agreements,  interest is payable  principally  from cash
distributions  received  from the  respective  Local Limited  Partnerships.  The
principal amounts, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, will be due at
maturity or earlier upon sale of the Local  Limited  Partnership's  assets.  The
notes and interest are collateralized by the Partnership's interest in the Local
Limited  Partnership,  with recourse limited to such  collateral.  For the years
ended  December  31,  1996,  1995,  and 1994  interest in the amount of $55,000,
$55,000 and $85,000, respectively, has been charged to operations.

As  discussed  in Note 8, the  managing  general  partner  of  Overland  Station
Investment  Company,  a Local Limited  Partnership in which the  Partnership has
invested,  sold the property on January 12, 1995. The Partnership received sales
proceeds  in the amount of  $1,274,833.  The  Partnership  used a portion of the
sales proceeds to pay down $624,833 of an  acquisition  note payable and accrued
interest which totaled  $685,833.  The $61,000 balance of these  obligations has
been canceled and is recorded as such on the Partnership's financial statements.

Since April 1, 1985, the Partnership has been obligated to pay interest from its
own funds on the Oakdale note.  The  Partnership  negotiated  with the seller of
Oakdale to defer these payments, and as such, since October 1, 1986 interest has
been accrued but not paid.  The note was due on April 1, 1995.  During 1996, the
local  general  partner of Oakdale  Manor filed  chapter 11  bankruptcy.  If the
bankruptcy  plan  approved  by the  lender  requires  the  Partnership  to  make
additional capital  contributions,  the Partnership will relinquish its interest
in Oakdale Manor.  If the  Partnership  does relinquish its interest in Oakdale,
the  only  effect  on  the  Partnership's   financial  statements  will  be  the
cancellation of  indebtedness  income since the Partnership is a limited partner
and the note and interest are collateralized only by the Partnership's  interest
in Oakdale Manor, which currently has a carrying value of zero.  However, if the
Partnership  relinquishes its interest,  it will be precluded from realizing any
residual value of Oakdale upon liquidation.  For tax purposes,  a consequence of
the foreclosure will be that the Partnership will receive allocations of capital
gain and cancellation of indebtedness  income. At the individual investor level,
the  capital  gain and  cancellation  of  indebtedness  income  can be offset by
passive  losses,  both current and suspended.  The balances of notes payable and
accrued interest are as follows:

The carrying value of the Partnership's Investment in Local Limited Partnerships
for financial  reporting purposes was approximately  $37,120,000 and $44,400,000
greater  than the  carrying  value of such  assets for tax  purposes in 1996 and
1995,  respectively.  The differences  were partially a result of the fact that,
for financial  reporting  purposes,  the Partnership  does not recognize  equity
losses  from a Local  Limited  Partnership  once a Local  Limited  Partnership's
carrying  value has been  reduced  to zero.  Such  unrecognized  losses  totaled
approximately  $15,900,000  and  $19,391,000  at  December  31,  1996 and  1995,
respectively.   The  remaining   differences  were  mainly  due  to  accelerated
depreciation taken for tax purposes.  The carrying value of all other assets and
liabilities was the same for financial reporting and tax purposes.


7.   Transactions with Affiliates

Included in general and administrative expenses are amounts that the Partnership
has paid or are payable to an  affiliate  of the  Managing  General  Partner for
reimbursement of salaries and benefits.

In  accordance  with  the  Partnership  Agreement,  Boston  Financial  currently
receives a Management Fee equal to 10% of the  Partnership's  share of Cash Flow
from  Local  Limited  Partnerships.  However,  the  fee is  subject  to  certain
limitation   and  to  reduction   under  certain   circumstances.   The  fee  is
non-cumulative and is payable only from available Partnership funds.  Management
Fees totaling  $13,228,  $26,059 and $10,098 were incurred during 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively,  which relate to cash distributions received in those years.
At  December  31,  1996,  $8,361  of  Management  Fees  were  payable  to Boston
Financial.

8.   Disposition of Investments in Local Limited Partnership

Bankruptcy  plans for Woodmeade  South  Apartments and Mountain View  Apartments
became  effective on March 24, 1996. In order for the  Partnership  to retain an
equity  interest in these  properties,  the  bankruptcy  plan  required that the
Partnership make additional contributions. Management of the Partnership decided
that  additional  contributions  would  not  be in  the  best  interest  of  the
Partnership.  Consequently,  the Partnership relinquished its equity interest in
these two Local Limited Partnerships.  These bankruptcies did not have an effect
on the Partnership for financial  reporting  purposes since the Partnership is a
limited partner and the two Local Limited  Partnerships  had a carrying value of
zero.  However,  the  Partnership  will be precluded from realizing any residual
value of the properties upon liquidation.

The managing  general partner of Overland  Station  Investment  Company sold the
property on January 12, 1995.  From the sale,  the  Partnership  has  recognized
$2,067,424  of equity in income.  This amount was offset by the  recognition  of
$18,627 of previously  unrecognized  equity in losses.  Also, as a result of the
sale, the Partnership  has recognized a loss on the sale of Overland  Station in
the amount of $773,964.  This amount represents the remaining  carrying value of
the partnership's investment in the Local Limited Partnership.

The Partnership received sales proceeds in the amount of $1,274,833, $450,000 of
which was received in 1994. The Partnership used a portion of the sales proceeds
to pay down $624,833 of an acquisition  note payable and accrued  interest which
totaled $685,833. The $61,000 balance of these obligations has been canceled and
is recorded as such on the Partnership's  financial statements.  The Partnership
has distributed  the balance of the sales proceeds plus accrued  interest in the
amount of $657,450.

On  January  12,  1994,  the  United  States  Department  of  Housing  and Urban
Development  held a  foreclosure  auction to dispose  of the  property  owned by
Oakwood Terrace Associates,  Ltd. The property sold for $1,790,000, all of which
was remitted to HUD to repay a portion of the mortgage.  The disposition of this
interest  did not have any  effect on income of the  Partnership  for  financial
reporting purposes, as the net investment balance of the interest was zero.

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 audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in

                     ACCOUNTANTS' COMPILATION REPORT



To the Partners
Oakdale Manor, Ltd.
Beaumont, Texas

We have compiled the accompanying  balance sheet of Oakdale Manor, Ltd. (a Texas
limited  Partnership)  as of December 31, 1996,  and the related  statements  of
operations  and changes in partners'  capital  (deficit)  and cash flows for the
year then ended,  in accordance  with Statements on Standards for Accounting and
Review   Services  issued  by  the  American   Institute  of  Certified   Public
Accountants.

A  compilation  is limited to  presenting  in the form of  financial  statements
information  that is the  representation  of management.  We have not audited or
reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly,  do not express
an opinion or any other form of assurance of them.

On August 5, 1996,  the Project  filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of
the  federal  bankruptcy  laws in the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Court for the
Eastern  District  of  Texas,   Beaumont,   Texas.  The  accompanying  financial
statements  have been  prepared  assuming the Project  will  continue as a going
concern. As shown in the financial  statements,  the Project incurred a net loss
of $199,550  during the year ended December 31, 1996,  and, as of that date, the
Project's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $1,880,903. The Project
defaulted on the  mortgage in 1987 and the  mortgage  was placed for  collection
with HUD who  subsequently  sold the  mortgage  in 1996.  These  factors,  among
others,  raise  substantial  doubt about the Project's  ability to continue as a
going  concern.  The financial  statements do not include any  adjustments  that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                           Report of Independent Auditors



The Partners of Youngstoun Apartments, Phase II
   and the Federal Housing Administration

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Youngstoun  Apartments,  Phase
II, FHA Project No.  052-35323-PM-L8  as of December 31,  1994,  and the related
statements of profit and loss (HUD Form 92410), changes in partners' deficit and
cash  flows  for  the  year  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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally  accepted auditing standards
and  Government  Auditing  Standards  issued by the  Comptroller  General of the
United  States.  These  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 audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of Youngstoun  Apartments,  Phase
II, as of December  31,  1994,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

Our audit was  conducted  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The  supplementary  information  listed on pages 12
through 18 is  presented  for the purpose of  additional  analysis  and is not a
required part of the financial  statements.  Such information has been subjected
to the auditing  procedures  applied in the audit of the  financial  statements,
and, in our opinion,  is fairly  stated in all material  respects in relation to
the financial statements taken as a whole.

The Partners
Woodmeade South Associates, Ltd.

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheet of Woodmeade South  Associates,
Ltd. (a limited partnership), F.H.A. Project No. 087-35104-PM as of December 31,
1994,  and the  related  statements  of profit and loss,  changes  in  partners'
deficit and cash flows for the year 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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally  accepted auditing standards
and  Government  Auditing  Standards  issued by the  Comptroller  General of the
United  States.  These  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 audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of Woodmeade South  Associates,
Ltd. (a limited  partnership),  as of December 31, 1994,  and the results of its
operations,  changes in partners' deficit and cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Partnership  will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in notes 5 and 7 to
the  financial  statements,  the  Partnership  is in default on the  mortgage at
December 31, 1994 primarily as a result of continuing operating losses in excess
of the amounts funded by the general  partners.  As a result,  the mortgage note
has been assigned to the Department of Housing and Urban  Development  (HUD). On
September  14, 1992, a provisional  workout  agreement was approved by HUD. This
situation  raises  substantial  doubt  about the ability of the  Partnership  to
continue  as a going  concern.  The  financial  statements  do not  include  any
adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our audit was made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the  financial
statements taken as a whole. The supporting data included in Schedules 1 through
4 is  presented  for the purpose of  additional  analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial  statements of Woodmeade South  Associates,  Ltd. (a
limited  partnership).  Such  information  has been  subjected  to the  auditing
procedures  applied in the audit of the basic financial  statement,  and, in our
opinion,  is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.
