                                   (Unaudited)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), the Managing General Partner, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial position of Capital Realty Investors-III Limited Partnership (the
Partnership) as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and its consolidated
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and its
consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

     These unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. While the Managing General Partner believes that
the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading,
it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in
the Partnership's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

2.   INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS

     As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership's obligations with respect to its
investments in Local Partnerships, in the form of purchase money notes of
$27,827,896 (exclusive of unamortized discount on purchase money notes of
$10,950,164) plus accrued interest of $40,819,213, are payable upon the earliest
of: (i) sale or refinancing of the respective Local Partnership's rental
property; (ii) payment in full of the respective Local Partnership's permanent
loan; or (iii) maturity.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate principal amount
of $3,861,070 matured on January 1, 1996, but not have been paid, as discussed
below.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,100,000
mature on May 1, 1996, as discussed below.  The remaining purchase money notes
mature from 1997 to 2015.  The purchase money notes are generally secured by the
Partnership's interest in the respective Local Partnership.  There is no
assurance that the underlying properties will have sufficient appreciation and
equity to enable the Partnership to pay the purchase money notes' principal and
accrued interest when due.  If a purchase money note is not paid in accordance
with its terms, the Partnership will either have to renegotiate the terms of
repayment or risk losing its partnership interest in the Local Partnership.  The
Managing General Partner is continuing to investigate possible alternatives to
reduce the Partnership's long-term debt obligations.  These alternatives
include, among others, retaining the cash available for distribution to meet the
purchase money note requirements, buying out certain purchase money notes at a
discounted price, extending the due dates of certain purchase money notes, or
refinancing the respective properties' underlying debt and using the
Partnership's share of the proceeds to pay off or buy down certain purchase
money note obligations. 

     Interest expense on the Partnership's purchase money notes for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was $2,108,633 and $2,265,456,
respectively.  Amortization of the imputed interest on purchase money notes
increased interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
by $929,070 and $932,556, respectively.

     As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Partnership's obligations

     (A)  On June 15, 1994, the Local Managing General Partner of Briar Crest I,
          Briar Crest II, Briar Hills and Indian Hills filed a notice of intent
          to participate under the Low Income Housing Preservation and Resident
          Homeownership Act of 1990 (LIHPRHA)  in hopes of refinancing the
          existing first mortgages of each property.  As a result of the recent
          changes in the LIHPRHA program, as discussed below, the Managing
          General Partner asked the Local Managing General Partner to pursue a
          sale of the properties under the LIHPRHA program.  On February 20,
          1996, the Local Managing General Partner filed a notice with HUD to
          amend the plan of action under the LIHPRHA program requesting a sale
          of the properties.  The Local Managing General Partner is also the
          noteholder of the related purchase money notes.  The Partnership
          defaulted on its purchase money notes relating to Briar Crest I, Briar
          Crest II, Briar Hills and Indian Hills on January 1, 1996 when the
          notes matured and were not paid.  The default amounts included
          principal and accrued interest as follows:

          The Managing General Partner has offered to extend the maturity dates
          to coincide with the possible future sale of the properties under the
          LIHPRHA program.  No agreement has been reached as of April 17, 1996. 
          There can be no assurance that an agreement will be reached, or that
          the eventual sale of the properties will occur.   As such, there is no
          assurance that the Partnership will be able to retain its interests in
          the Local Partnerships.

     (B)  On January 5, 1994 the local general partners of Park Heights Towers
          Limited Partnership (Park Heights) filed a notice of intent to
          participate under the LIHPRHA program.  On February 2, 1996, the local
          general partners of Park Heights sold the property to a non-profit
          entity.  The sale of the property generated net proceeds to the
          Partnership of approximately $1.27 million.  The proceeds were net of
          $2.135 million used to retire, at a discount, the Partnership's
          purchase money note obligation with respect to the property.  The sale
          provided proceeds to the Partnership in excess of its investment in
          the Local Partnership, and resulted in a net financial statement gain
          and a net tax gain in 1996 of approximately $5.1 million and $7.0
          million, respectively.  The Partnership intends to distribute $579,000
          (or approximately $9.65 per Additional Limited Partner unit) to the
          Additional Limited Partners as return of capital on a generally
          accepted accounting principles basis by April 30, 1996.  The Managing
          General Partner intends to retain all of the Partnership's remaining
          undistributed net sale proceeds for the possible repayment, prepayment
          or purchase of the outstanding purchase money notes of other Local
          Partnerships.  The General Partner and/or its affiliates earned net
          fees of $117,028 for its services relating to the sale of the
          property.  As of April 17, 1996, these fees have not been paid.

     (C)  On March 1, 1996, the local general partner of Village Squire I & II
          and Village Squire III refinanced the respective properties' existing
          first mortgages.  On March 1, 1996, proceeds provided to the
          Partnership from the properties' mortgage refinancings, along with
          approximately $560,000 of existing Partnership cash resources, were
          used to pay off the related purchase money note obligations. 
          Approximately $4.1 million in refinancing proceeds provided to the
          Partnership were in excess of the Partnership's investment in the

          respective Local Partnerships and are included in share of income from
          Local Partnerships in the consolidated statement of operations.

     (D)  The Managing General Partner is currently negotiating with the
          noteholders to extend the Cedar Valley purchase money note due dates
          to coincide with a potential future LIHPHRA sale.  There is no
          assurance that any agreement will be reached with the noteholders or
          that a sale of the property will eventually occur.

     (E)  The uncertainty about the continued ownership of the Partnership's
          interest in the Briar Crest I, Briar Crest II, Briar Hills, Indian
          Hills and Cedar Valley Local Partnerships does not impact the
          Partnership's financial condition because the related purchase money
          notes are nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's interest
          in the respective Local Partnerships.  Should the investment in any or
          all of the above listed Local Partnership's, excluding Indian Hills,
          not produce sufficient value to satisfy the related purchase money
          notes, the Partnership's exposure to loss is limited since the amount
          of the nonrecourse indebtedness exceeds the carrying amount of the
          investment in and advances to the Local Partnerships.  Thus, even a
          complete loss of these investments would not have a material impact on
          the operations of the Partnership.  However, should the Partnership be
          unable to retain its interest in these Local Partnerships, the
          investments in Local Partnerships would be reduced by the
          Partnership's basis in these Local Partnerships, which at March 31,
          1996, was approximately 5% of the total investment in Local
          Partnerships.  In the case of Indian Hills, the carrying amount of the
          investment exceeds the amount of nonrecourse indebtedness, however,
          the Partnership's exposure to loss is limited to this excess, which at
          March 31, 1996 was approximately $840,000.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107), requires the disclosure of fair
value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value.  The Partnership implemented SFAS 107 in 1995.  The
Partnership has determined that the carrying amount of its cash and cash
equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the related
financial instruments.   The Partnership has determined that it is not
practicable to estimate the fair value of its purchase money notes, either
individually or in the aggregate, due to:  (i) the lack of an active market for
this type of financial instrument, (ii) the variable nature of purchase money
note interest payments as a result of fluctuating cash flow distributions
received from the related Local Partnerships, and (iii) the excessive costs
associated with an independent appraisal of the purchase money notes.

     Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships have
mortgages which are federally insured under Section 236 or Section 221(d)(3) of
the National Housing Act, as amended.  These properties may be eligible for
sale, subject to numerous requirements, under the LIHPRHA program.  This program
may provide incentives to owners of qualifying multifamily housing who commit to
permanently maintain their properties as low to moderate income housing. 
Incentives originally available under LIHPRHA included selling the property to
qualified buyers or obtaining supplemental financing for the property.  On March
28, 1996, Congress enacted the Housing Opportunity Program Extension Act of 1996
which includes revisions to the LIHPRHA program.  These revisions include:  (i)

severely limiting the availability of the supplemental financing option for
owners of qualifying multifamily housing, (ii) allowing owners who no longer
qualify for supplemental financing under the revised guidelines to elect to
pursue a sale of the property under the LIHPRHA program, provided that the
election to sell was made by April 15, 1996, and (iii) continuing the funding of
sale transactions under the LIHPRHA program through October 1, 1996, but only
for transactions in which the owner's plan of action is approved by HUD by
August 15, 1996.  As of April 17, 1996, there can be no assurance that Congress
will extend the LIHPRHA program beyond the October 1 deadline, or that a
modified program will be developed in place of the existing program.  Also,
there is no assurance that the sale of any of the properties owned by the Local
Partnerships will occur.

     Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships are financed
by state housing agencies.  The Managing General Partner has been working to
develop a strategy to sell or refinance certain properties pursuant to programs
developed by these agencies.  These programs may include opportunities to sell
the property to a qualifying purchaser who would agree to maintain the property
as low to moderate income housing in perpetuity, or may include opportunities to
refinance the property or obtain supplemental financing.  The Managing General
Partner continues to monitor these programs to ascertain whether the properties
would qualify within the parameters of the programs and whether the programs
would provide an appropriate economic benefit to the limited partners of the
Partnership.

     Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships are dependent
on the receipt of housing assistance payments guaranteed by contract under the
HUD Section 8 program.  The level of funding for the Section 8 program, and HUD-
insured multifamily housing in general, is dependent upon the continuation of
appropriations approved by Congress for subsidy payments.  In the event that the
rental subsidy programs are reduced or phased out, there is no assurance that
the rental properties will be able to maintain the occupancy levels necessary to
pay debt service and operating costs or that the rents necessary to pay debt
service and operating costs will be competitive with rents for comparable units
in the rental properties' respective market areas.  While the Managing General
Partner has no reason to believe that HUD will not honor its obligations under
the contracts, some uncertainty exists in light of the recent Congressional
scrutiny of appropriations for HUD programs.

     The following are combined statements of operations for the Local
Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. These statements are
compiled from information supplied by the management agents of the projects and
are unaudited.

     As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Partnership's share of
cumulative losses to date for eleven of the thirty-five Local Partnerships
exceeds the amount of the Partnership's investments in these Local Partnerships
by $11,577,722 and $11,371,859, respectively. As the Partnership has no further
obligation to advance funds or provide financing to these Local Partnerships,
the excess losses have not been reflected in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
is obligated to reimburse the Managing General Partner for its direct expenses
in managing the Partnership and to pay an annual incentive management fee (the
Management Fee) after all other expenses of the Partnership are paid. The
Partnership paid $35,054 and $21,037 for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively, as direct reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf
of the Partnership.  Such expenses are included in the statement of operations
as general and administrative expenses.  Additionally, the Partnership paid the
Managing General Partner a Management Fee of $75,000 for each of the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

     The Managing General Partner and/or its affiliates may receive a fee of not
more than 2% of the sales price of an investment in a Local Partnership or the
property it owns, payable under certain conditions upon the sale of an
investment in a Local Partnership or the property it owns.  The payment of the
fee is subject to certain restrictions, including the achievement of a certain
level of sales proceeds and making certain minimum distributions to limited

partners.  The Managing General Partner and/or its affiliates earned net fees
for services relating to the sale of the Partnership's interest in Park Heights
of $117,028 on February 2, 1996.  These fees have not been paid as of April 17,
1996.

4.   CONTINGENCIES

     In 1990, CRI, as managing general partner of the Partnership and various
other entities, subcontracted certain property-level asset management functions
for certain properties to Capital Management Strategies, Inc. (CMS).  Among
these properties were properties owned by some of the Local Partnerships in
which the Partnership invested.  CMS was formed by Martin C. Schwartzberg, a
nominal general partner of the Partnership and a former stockholder of CRI, when
he retired from and cashed out of CRI and its related businesses as of January
1, 1990.  Mr. Schwartzberg agreed not to act as a general partner with respect
to any of the CRI-sponsored partnerships, including this Partnership, and has
not done so since that time.  In late 1995, a dispute arose between CRI and CMS
over the funding level of the 1996 contract for CMS.  On November 9, 1995, CRI
filed a complaint against CMS to determine the proper amount of fees to be paid
in 1996 under the asset management agreement.  CMS answered on January 10, 1996,
but asserted no counterclaims.

     Thereafter, Mr. Schwartzberg launched a hostile consent solicitation to be
designated as managing general partner of approximately 125 private partnerships
sponsored by CRI.  On January 18, 1996, Mr. Schwartzberg and CMS filed a
complaint in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland (the Circuit
Court), against CRI and Messrs. Dockser and Willoughby (who are general partners
of the Partnership) alleging, among other things, that CRI and Messrs. Dockser
and Willoughby have breached the asset management agreement pursuant to which
Mr. Schwartzberg's company, CMS, agreed to perform limited functions related to
property-level issues for a portion of CRI's subsidized housing portfolio
(including some of the properties in which the Partnership invested), by
reducing the proposed budget for 1996.  The Partnership is not named as a
defendant in this action.  Messrs. Dockser and Willoughby have entered an answer
denying all of Mr. Schwartzberg's claims.  Messrs. Dockser and Willoughby have
publicly responded that Mr. Schwartzberg's suit is motivated by his budget
dispute with CRI and personal animosity.  On February 6, 1996, CRI terminated
the CMS contract for cause.  Mr. Schwartzberg and CMS responded by filing a
motion for injunctive relief in the Circuit Court, asking the court to enjoin
CRI from terminating the contract.  In a ruling issued on February 12, 1996, the
Circuit Court, among other things, refused to grant the injunction requested by
CMS.  A hearing in this case is scheduled for April 29, 1996.  On February 12,
1996, the Circuit Court also issued a memorandum opinion and order enjoining CMS
and Mr. Schwartzberg from disclosing information made confidential under the
asset management agreement.

     On February 1, 1996 and February 16, 1996, Mr. Schwartzberg sent letters to
the Partnership requesting investor lists and other forms of investor
information.  On February 5, 1996, the Partnership, acting through its managing
general partner, CRI, denied Mr. Schwartzberg's request.  On February 20, 1996,
counsel for the Partnership responded to Mr. Schwartzberg's second request,
denying that Mr. Schwartzberg had standing or a proper purpose for requesting
the investor lists.  In view of Mr. Schwartzberg's solicitation efforts against
other CRI-sponsored partnerships, CRI anticipates that litigation may arise from
this request.

liquidity, with cash resources of $3,413,837 and $2,897,013 as of March 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995, respectively, along with anticipated future cash
distributions from the Local Partnerships, is expected to meet its current and
anticipated operating cash needs. As of April 17, 1996, there are no material
commitments for capital expenditures.

     As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership's obligations with respect to its
investments in Local Partnerships, in the form of purchase money notes of
$27,827,896 (exclusive of unamortized discount on purchase money notes of
$10,950,164) plus accrued interest of $40,819,213, are payable upon the earliest
of: (i) sale or refinancing of the respective Local Partnership's rental
property; (ii) payment in full of the respective Local Partnership's permanent
loan; or (iii) maturity.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate principal amount
of $3,861,070 matured on January 1, 1996, but not have been paid, as discussed
below.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,100,000
mature on May 1, 1996, as discussed below.  The remaining purchase money notes
mature from 1997 to 2015.  The purchase money notes are generally secured by the
Partnership's interest in the respective Local Partnership.  There is no
assurance that the underlying properties will have sufficient appreciation and
equity to enable the Partnership to pay the purchase money notes' principal and
accrued interest when due.  If a purchase money note is not paid in accordance
with its terms, the Partnership will either have to renegotiate the terms of
repayment or risk losing its partnership interest in the Local Partnership.  The
Managing General Partner is continuing to investigate possible alternatives to
reduce the Partnership's long-term debt obligations.  These alternatives
include, among others, retaining the cash available for distribution to meet the
purchase money note requirements, buying out certain purchase money notes at a
discounted price, extending the due dates of certain purchase money notes, or
refinancing the respective properties' underlying debt and using the
Partnership's share of the proceeds to pay off or buy down certain purchase
money note obligations. 

     As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Partnership's obligations
with respect to its investment in Local Partnerships included $119,544 due to
local general partners, plus accrued interest on these obligations of $33,976.

     Purchase money notes, plus accrued interest, relating to the following
properties have matured or will mature in 1996:

     (A)  On June 15, 1994, the Local Managing General Partner of Briar Crest I,
          Briar Crest II, Briar Hills and Indian Hills filed a notice of intent
          to participate under the Low Income Housing Preservation and Resident
          Homeownership Act of 1990 (LIHPRHA)  in hopes of refinancing the
          existing first mortgages of each property.  As a result of the recent
          changes in the LIHPRHA program, as discussed below, the Managing
          General Partner asked the Local Managing General Partner to pursue a
          sale of the properties under the LIHPRHA program.  On February 20,
          1996, the Local Managing General Partner filed a notice with HUD to
          amend the plan of action under the LIHPRHA program requesting a sale
          of the properties.  The Local Managing General Partner is also the
          noteholder of the related purchase money notes.  The Partnership
          defaulted on its purchase money notes relating to Briar Crest I, Briar
          Crest II, Briar Hills and Indian Hills on January 1, 1996 when the
          notes matured and were not paid.  The default amounts included
          principal and accrued interest as follows:

          assurance that the Partnership will be able to retain its interests in
          the Local Partnerships.

     (B)  On January 5, 1994 the local general partners of Park Heights Towers
          Limited Partnership (Park Heights) filed a notice of intent to
          participate under the LIHPRHA program.  On February 2, 1996, the local
          general partners of Park Heights sold the property to a non-profit
          entity.  The sale of the property generated net proceeds to the
          Partnership of approximately $1.27 million.  The proceeds were net of
          $2.135 million used to retire, at a discount, the Partnership's
          purchase money note obligation with respect to the property.  The sale
          provided proceeds to the Partnership in excess of its investment in
          the Local Partnership, and resulted in a net financial statement gain
          and a net tax gain in 1996 of approximately $5.1 million and $7.0
          million, respectively.  The Partnership intends to distribute $579,000
          (or approximately $9.65 per Additional Limited Partner unit) to the
          Additional Limited Partners as return of capital on a generally
          accepted accounting principles basis by April 30, 1996.  The Managing
          General Partner intends to retain all of the Partnership's remaining
          undistributed net sale proceeds for the possible repayment, prepayment
          or purchase of the outstanding purchase money notes of other Local
          Partnerships.  The General Partner and/or its affiliates earned net
          fees of $117,028 for its services relating to the sale of the
          property.  As of April 17, 1996, these fees have not been paid.

     (C)  On March 1, 1996, the local general partner of Village Squire I & II
          and Village Squire III refinanced the respective properties' existing
          first mortgages.  On March 1, 1996, proceeds provided to the
          Partnership from the properties' mortgage refinancings, along with
          approximately $560,000 of existing Partnership cash resources, were
          used to pay off the related purchase money note obligations. 
          Approximately $4.1 million in refinancing proceeds provided to the
          Partnership were in excess of the Partnership's investment in the
          respective Local Partnerships and are included in share of income from
          Local Partnerships in the consolidated statement of operations.

     (D)  The Managing General Partner is currently negotiating with the
          noteholders to extend the Cedar Valley purchase money note due dates
          to coincide with a potential future LIHPHRA sale.  There is no
          assurance that any agreement will be reached with the noteholders or
          that a sale of the property will eventually occur.

     (E)  The uncertainty about the continued ownership of the Partnership's
          interest in the Briar Crest I, Briar Crest II, Briar Hills, Indian
          Hills and Cedar Valley Local Partnerships does not impact the
          Partnership's financial condition because the related purchase money
          notes are nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's interest
          in the respective Local Partnerships.  Should the investment in any or
          all of the above listed Local Partnership's, excluding Indian Hills,
          not produce sufficient value to satisfy the related purchase money
          notes, the Partnership's exposure to loss is limited since the amount
          of the nonrecourse indebtedness exceeds the carrying amount of the
          investment in and advances to the Local Partnerships.  Thus, even a
          complete loss of these investments would not have a material impact on
          the operations of the Partnership.  However, should the Partnership be
          unable to retain its interest in these Local Partnerships, the

          investments in Local Partnerships would be reduced by the
          Partnership's basis in these Local Partnerships, which at March 31,
          1996 was approximately 5% of the total investment in Local
          Partnerships.  In the case of Indian Hills, the carrying amount of the
          investment exceeds the amount of nonrecourse indebtedness, however,
          the Partnership's exposure to loss is limited to this excess, which at
          March 31, 1996 was approximately $840,000.

     The Partnership closely monitors its cash flow and liquidity position in an
effort to ensure that sufficient cash is available for operating requirements. 
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the receipt of distributions from
Local Partnerships, which included proceeds from the refinancing of the Village
Squire I & II and Village Squire III first mortgages, along with proceeds from
the sale of Park Heights was adequate to support operating cash requirements and
the pay-off of the related purchase money notes.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107), requires the disclosure of fair
value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value.  The Partnership implemented SFAS 107 in 1995.  The
Partnership has determined that the carrying amount of its cash and cash
equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the related
financial instruments.   The Partnership has determined that it is not
practicable to estimate the fair value of its purchase money notes, either
individually or in the aggregate, due to:  (i) the lack of an active market for
this type of financial instrument, (ii) the variable nature of purchase money
note interest payments as a result of fluctuating cash flow distributions
received from the related Local Partnerships, and (iii) the excessive costs
associated with an independent appraisal of the purchase money notes.

                              Results of Operations
                              ---------------------

     The Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996
increased from the comparable period in 1995 primarily as a result of the gain
on disposition of Park Heights, as discussed above.  Contributing to the
increase in net income was an increase in share of income from Local
Partnerships principally due to the receipt of refinancing proceeds from Village
Squire I & II and Village Squire III which were in excess of the Partnership's
investments in the respective Local Partnerships, as discussed above.  Also
contributing to the increase in the Partnership's net income was a decrease in
interest expense resulting from the retirement of the Park Heights, Village
Squire I & II and Village Squire III purchase money notes, as discussed above.

     For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership, as a limited partner in
the Local Partnerships, does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in
excess of its investment. As a result, the Partnership's recognized income for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 did not include losses of $205,863
compared to excluded losses of $234,553 for the three months ended March 31,
1995, respectively.

     Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships have
mortgages which are federally insured under Section 236 or Section 221(d)(3) of
the National Housing Act, as amended.  These properties may be eligible for
sale, subject to numerous requirements, under the LIHPRHA program.  This program
may provide incentives to owners of qualifying multifamily housing who commit to

permanently maintain their properties as low to moderate income housing. 
Incentives originally available under LIHPRHA included selling the property to
qualified buyers or obtaining supplemental financing for the property.  On March
28, 1996, Congress enacted the Housing Opportunity Program Extension Act of 1996
which includes revisions to the LIHPRHA program.  These revisions include:  (i)
severely limiting the availability of the supplemental financing option for
owners of qualifying multifamily housing, (ii) allowing owners who no longer
qualify for supplemental financing under the revised guidelines to elect to
pursue a sale of the property under the LIHPRHA program, provided that the
election to sell was made by April 15, 1996, and (iii) continuing the funding of
sale transactions under the LIHPRHA program through October 1, 1996, but only
for transactions in which the owner's plan of action is approved by HUD by
August 15, 1996.  As of April 17, 1996, there can be no assurance that Congress
will extend the LIHPRHA program beyond the October 1 deadline, or that a
modified program will be developed in place of the existing program.  Also,
there is no assurance that the sale of any of the properties owned by the Local
Partnerships will occur.

     Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships are financed
by state housing agencies.  The Managing General Partner has been working to
develop a strategy to sell or refinance certain properties pursuant to programs
developed by these agencies.  These programs may include opportunities to sell
the property to a qualifying purchaser who would agree to maintain the property
as low to moderate income housing in perpetuity, or may include opportunities to
refinance the property or obtain supplemental financing.  The Managing General
Partner continues to monitor these programs to ascertain whether the properties
would qualify within the parameters of the programs and whether the programs
would provide an appropriate economic benefit to the limited partners of the
Partnership.

     Some of the rental properties owned by the Local Partnerships are dependent
on the receipt of housing assistance payments guaranteed by contract under the
HUD Section 8 program.  The level of funding for the Section 8 program, and HUD-
insured multifamily housing in general, is dependent upon the continuation of
appropriations approved by Congress for subsidy payments.  In the event that the
rental subsidy programs are reduced or phased out, there is no assurance that
the rental properties will be able to maintain the occupancy levels necessary to
pay debt service and operating costs or that the rents necessary to pay debt
service and operating costs will be competitive with rents for comparable units
in the rental properties' respective market areas.  While the Managing General
Partner has no reason to believe that HUD will not honor its obligations under
the contracts, some uncertainty exists in light of the recent Congressional
scrutiny of appropriations for HUD programs.

     No other significant changes in the Partnership's operations have taken
place during this period.

     In 1990, CRI, as managing general partner of the Partnership and various
other entities, subcontracted certain property-level asset management functions
for certain properties to Capital Management Strategies, Inc. (CMS).  Among
these properties were properties owned by some of the Local Partnerships in
which the Partnership invested.  CMS was formed by Martin C. Schwartzberg, a
nominal general partner of the Partnership and a former stockholder of CRI, when

he retired from and cashed out of CRI and its related businesses as of January
1, 1990.  Mr. Schwartzberg agreed not to act as a general partner with respect
to any of the CRI-sponsored partnerships, including this Partnership, and has
not done so since that time.  In late 1995, a dispute arose between CRI and CMS
over the funding level of the 1996 contract for CMS.  On November 9, 1995, CRI
filed a complaint against CMS to determine the proper amount of fees to be paid
in 1996 under the asset management agreement.  CMS answered on January 10, 1996,
but asserted no counterclaims.

     Thereafter, Mr. Schwartzberg launched a hostile consent solicitation to be
designated as managing general partner of approximately 125 private partnerships
sponsored by CRI.  On January 18, 1996, Mr. Schwartzberg and CMS filed a
complaint in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland (the Circuit
Court), against CRI and Messrs. Dockser and Willoughby (who are general partners
of the Partnership) alleging, among other things, that CRI and Messrs. Dockser
and Willoughby have breached the asset management agreement pursuant to which
Mr. Schwartzberg's company, CMS, agreed to perform limited functions related to
property-level issues for a portion of CRI's subsidized housing portfolio
(including some of the properties in which the Partnership invested), by
reducing the proposed budget for 1996.  The Partnership is not named as a
defendant in this action.  Messrs. Dockser and Willoughby have entered an answer
denying all of Mr. Schwartzberg's claims.  Messrs. Dockser and Willoughby have
publicly responded that Mr. Schwartzberg's suit is motivated by his budget
dispute with CRI and personal animosity.  On February 6, 1996, CRI terminated
the CMS contract for cause.  Mr. Schwartzberg and CMS responded by filing a
motion for injunctive relief in the Circuit Court, asking the court to enjoin
CRI from terminating the contract.  In a ruling issued on February 12, 1996, the
Circuit Court, among other things, refused to grant the injunction requested by
CMS.  A hearing in this case is scheduled for April 29, 1996.  On February 12,
1996, the Circuit Court also issued a memorandum opinion and order enjoining CMS
and Mr. Schwartzberg from disclosing information made confidential under the
asset management agreement.

     On February 1, 1996 and February 16, 1996, Mr. Schwartzberg sent letters to
the Partnership requesting investor lists and other forms of investor
information.  On February 5, 1996, the Partnership, acting through its managing
general partner, CRI, denied Mr. Schwartzberg's request.  On February 20, 1996,
counsel for the Partnership responded to Mr. Schwartzberg's second request,
denying that Mr. Schwartzberg had standing or a proper purpose for requesting
the investor lists.  In view of Mr. Schwartzberg's solicitation efforts against
other CRI-sponsored partnerships, CRI anticipates that litigation may arise from
this request.

     The Managing General Partner has offered to extend the maturity dates to
coincide with the possible future sale of the properties under the LIHPRHA
program.  No agreement has been reached as of April 17, 1996.  There can be no
assurance that an agreement will be reached, or that the eventual sale of the
properties will occur.   As such, there is no assurance that the Partnership
will be able to retain its interests in the Local Partnerships.

     The uncertainty about the continued ownership of the Partnership's interest
in the Briar Crest I, Briar Crest II, Briar Hills, Indian Hills and Cedar Valley
Local Partnerships does not impact the Partnership's financial condition because
the related purchase money notes are nonrecourse and secured solely by the
Partnership's interest in the respective Local Partnerships.  Should the
investment in any or all of the above listed Local Partnership's, excluding
Indian Hills, not produce sufficient value to satisfy the related purchase money
notes, the Partnership's exposure to loss is limited since the amount of the
nonrecourse indebtedness exceeds the carrying amount of the investment in and
advances to the Local Partnerships.  Thus, even a complete loss of these
investments would not have a material impact on the operations of the
Partnership.  However, should the Partnership be unable to retain its interest
in these Local Partnerships, the investments in Local Partnerships would be
reduced by the Partnership's basis in these Local Partnerships, which at March
31, 1996, was approximately 5% of the total investment in Local Partnerships. 
In the case of Indian Hills, the carrying amount of the investment exceeds the
amount of nonrecourse indebtedness, however, the Partnership's exposure to loss
is limited to this excess, which at March 31, 1996 was approximately $840,000.
