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 losses for the six months ended
June  30,  1998 is  $326,529.  For the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998,  the
Partnership  has not  recognized  $640,965 of equity in losses  relating to nine
Local Limited  Partnerships  where  cumulative  equity in losses and  cumulative
distributions have exceeded its total  investments.  Also, during the six months
ended June 30, 1998,  the  Partnership  recognized  $115,830 of equity in losses
which were previously unrecognized.

2.   Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standard

The Financial  Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive  Income. The Partnership
has adopted the new  standard  effective  January 1, 1998.  The adoption of this
standard  had no effect on the  Partnership's  net income or  partner's  equity.
Comprehensive  income was $152,092 and  $1,370,186 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Comprehensive  income  includes the change in
unrealized  gains and  losses on  marketable  securities  available  for sale of
$2,607  and  ($2,966)  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997,
respectively.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1998,  the  Partnership  had cash and cash  equivalents  of $251,379
compared  with  $142,840 at December  31,  1997.  The  increase in cash and cash
equivalents  is a result  of cash  distributions  received  from  Local  Limited
Partnerships and proceeds from the sale and maturities of marketable securities.
These  increases are offset by net cash used for  operations and the purchase of
marketable securities.

At June 30, 1998,  approximately  $1,069,000  has been reserved and is partially
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 June 30, 1998,  investment in Local Limited Partnerships remained at zero,
unchanged from December 31, 1997.

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. Thus, at June 30, 1998, 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 1998 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,  1998  resulted in net income of $56,092  and  $149,485,  as compared to net
income of $1,338,701  and  $1,373,152 for the same periods in 1997. The decrease
is primarily due to  cancellation  of  indebtedness  income  resulting  from the
foreclosure on Oakdale Manor on June 3, 1997.

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 three Local Limited
Partnerships  during the six months  ended June 30,  1998.  Please  refer to the
section  entitled  `Property  Discussions'  for  more  information  on  property
operations.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (continued)


Property Discussions

The  Partnership  owns  limited   partnership   interests  in  9  Local  Limited
Partnerships  which own and operate  multi-family  residential  properties.  The
Partnership also owns investments in securities in which its Reserves are held.

Four 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,  the  Local  General  Partner  of Woods  of  Castleton
successfully  refinanced  the  mortgage  during the third  quarter of 1997.  The
Managing General Partner  completed  negotiations with the Local General Partner
and agreed to a modification  of the Partnership  Agreement in conjunction  with
the  refinancing.  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  the  refinancing  transaction.  The
modification  also includes  provisions which allow the Partnership 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  effect on the
Partnership in the future given the current value of the property.
