1.      Organization of Partnership

        Liberty Housing Partners Limited  Partnership  (the  "Partnership")  was
formed under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act on March 20, 1984
for the primary purpose of investing in other limited partnerships which own and
operate government  assisted  multi-family  rental housing complexes (the "Local
Limited Partnerships").

        The General  Partners of the Partnership  through December 27, 1995 were
Liberty Real Estate  Corporation,  which served as the Managing General Partner,
and LHP Associates  Limited  Partnership,  which served as the Associate General
Partner.  On  December  27,  1995,  Liberty  Real  Estate  Corporation  and  LHP
Associates  Limited  Partnership  withdrew from the Partnership and assigned and
transferred all of their  interests in the Partnership to the Successor  General
Partner, TNG Properties Inc., which was admitted to the Partnership as Successor
General Partner. TNG Properties Inc. serves as the Managing General Partner.

        The Partnership  Agreement  authorized the sale of up to 30,010 units of
Limited  Partnership  Interest ("Units") of which 21,616 were subscribed for and
sold as of the completion of the offering on July 12, 1985.

        Pursuant to terms of the  Partnership  Agreement,  Profits or Losses for
Tax Purposes (other than from sales or refinancings) and Distributable Cash From
Operations,  both as defined in the Partnership Agreement,  are allocated 99% to
the Limited Partners and 1% to the General  Partners.  Different  allocations of
profits  or losses  and cash  distributions  resulting  from  other  events  are
specified in the Partnership Agreement.

2.      Significant Accounting Policies

        In the  opinion of the  General  Partners,  the  accompanying  unaudited
financial  statements  contain all normal  recurring  adjustments  necessary  to
present fairly the financial  position of the  Partnership as of March 31, 1996.
The  financial  statements,  which do not  include  all of the  information  and
footnote  disclosures  required by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,
should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's  Annual Report for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

(loss) in Local Limited Partnership  investments in the Partnership's  Statement
of  Operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the  Partnership's
$59,674 share of loss in the above Summarized  Statements of Operations consists
of the Partnership's  unrecorded share of losses in Linden Park, Brierwood Ltd.,
Brierwood II, Ltd., Pine Forest Apartments,  Ltd. and Surry Manor in the amounts
of $64,660,  $1,300, $3,408, $9,573, and $1,825 respectively.  Unrecorded losses

Forest  Apartments--  $9,958.  The  Partnership's  investment in Surry Manor was

Ltd.,  Brierwood II, Ltd., Pine Forest  Apartments,  Ltd., and Surry Manor until
its related  investment was reduced to zero.  Subsequent to that point, any cash
distributions  received  from  these  five  partnerships  have  been  or will be
recognized  as  investment  income  rather than as a reduction in  Investment in
Local Limited  Partnerships on the Partnership's  Balance Sheet. The Partnership
is not obligated to make additional capital contributions to fund the deficit in
its capital accounts in these Local Limited Partnerships.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The aggregate  outstanding principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest
on the Purchase Money Note obligations of the Partnership, as of March 31, 1995,
was approximately $14,470,480. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Purchase Money Notes reported on the Partnership's  Balance Sheet ($8,570,926 at
March  31,  1996),  reflects  a  discount  using  an  imputed  interest  rate of
approximately  19%,  which was  applied  to the face  amount of the notes on the
respective  investment  purchase  dates and which is used to calculate an annual
interest  accrued in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles
that will equate to the legal obligation expected at maturity of the notes.

  As of March 31, 1996,  the unpaid  principal  amount of and accrued and unpaid
interest  on the Linden  Park  Associates  Limited  Partnership  Notes  equalled
$2,703,106.

  At March 31, 1996, the Partnership's  had reserves of $274,706,  cash and cash
equivalents  of $399,712,  less  interest  payments due on the related  Purchase
Money  Notes  from  distributions   received  from  Local  Limited  Partnerships
totalling $125,006. By April 30, 1996, distributable cash flow from seven of the
Local Limited  Partnerships  to which the Partnership  delivered  purchase money
notes was distributed to the Partnership in the amount of $288,086. On April 30,
1996,  the  Partnership  used such cash  distributions  to pay a portion  of the
accrued and unpaid interest on the related Purchase Money Notes.

  In 1996, the Partnership received $2,919 of interest payments on the long-term
purchase money notes of Linden Park Associates  Limited  Partnership held by the
Partnership,  and accrued unpaid interest of $102,210. As of March 31, 1996, the
outstanding  balance of principal and accrued and unpaid interest  receivable on
these notes amounted to $276,013.

Partnership Operations

       The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of owning  interests in
the Local Limited  Partnerships rather than the direct ownership of real estate.
The  Partnership's  interest  income  reflects  interest  earned on reserves and
interest net of discount  amortization on the long term notes receivable.  Total
interest  income  decreased $734 to $7,451 in the first quarter of 1996 from the
first quarter of 1995.  This decrease is  attributable  mainly to slightly lower
interest rates.

       The  Partnership's  interest  expense  increased to $419,190 in 1996 from
$356,721 in the first  quarter of 1995.  Such  increase is  attributable  to the
accrual of interest under the Purchase Money Notes.

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


Partnership Operations, continued

       The  Partnership's  equity  in  income  (loss)  from  the  Local  Limited
Partnerships was $21,092 in the first quarter of 1996 and $(16,100) in the first
quarter  of 1995.  The  recognition  of income in the first  quarter of 1996 and
decrease in equity in loss of Local Limited  Partnership  investments since 1993
is primarily attributable to the fact that the Partnership did not record losses
for four Local Limited  Partnerships  because its related  investment account in
such  partnerships  had already been reduced to zero and one for which a partial
recognition of loss reduced the related  investment account to zero in the first
quarter of 1996. The  Partnership  did not record  approximately  $81,000 of net
losses for five Local Limited  Partnerships in 1996; and $79,600 from four Local
Limited  Partnerships  in the first quarter of 1995.  Total net losses  reported
from the Local  Limited  Partnerships  for the first  quarter of 1996  decreased
approximately $32,000 from those recognized in the first quarter of 1995.

       Because of the above discussed factors, net loss increased to $420,311 in
the first quarter of 1996 from $393,835 in the first quarter of 1995.
