3.  Investments in Local Limited Partnerships, continued


        The Partnership  recorded its share of losses in Linden Park,  Brierwood
Ltd., Brierwood II, Ltd., Pine Forest Apartments, Ltd., Surry Manor and Glendale
Manor  until its related  investment  was  reduced to zero.  Subsequent  to that
point, any cash distributions  received from these six 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.

        Certain Local Limited  Partnerships  have made payments on behalf of the
Partnership for non-resident  state  withholding  taxes in accordance with state
income tax  regulations.  These  amounts  totaling  $2,233  during the first six
months  of 1997 have  been  treated  as  distributions  from the  Local  Limited
Partnerships  and a  distribution  to the partners of Liberty  Housing  Partners
Limited Partnership.

ITEM 2. 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 June
30, 1997, was approximately  $15,079,844.  The aggregate  outstanding  principal
amount of the Purchase Money Notes reported on the  Partnership's  Balance Sheet
($10,274,691  at June 30, 1997),  reflects a discount using an imputed  interest
rate of approximately  21%, 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 June 30,  1997,  the unpaid  principal  amount of and  accrued and
unpaid interest on the Linden Park Associates Limited Partnership Notes equalled
$2,477,620.

        At June 30, 1997,  the  Partnership  had reserves of $92,175 in cash and
cash  equivalents.  Accrued interest  totaling  $369,947 due on certain Purchase
Money  Notes  from  distributions   received  from  the  related  Local  Limited
Partnerships was distributed in the second quarter of 1997.

        In 1997, the Partnership  accrued  interest of $7,821 on the Linden Park
Associates  Limited  Partnership  Notes  held by the  Partnership  and  received
$13,720  of  interest  payments  on  these  notes.  As of  June  30,  1997,  the
outstanding  balance of principal and accrued and unpaid interest  receivable on
these notes amounted to $249,354.

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  net loss  increased to  $1,008,459  in the first six
months of 1997 from  $957,159  in the first six  months of 1996  primarily  as a
result of the increase in the Partnership's interest expense.

        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  increased  $12,007 to $26,579 in the first six months of
1997  compared  to  $14,572 in the first six months of 1996.  This  increase  is
primarily  attributable  to  interest  payments  received  on  the  Linden  Park
Associates Limited Partnership Notes held by the Partnership.

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


Partnership Operations, continued


        The Partnership's  interest expense increased to $1,052,742 in the first
six months of 1997 from $923,909 in the first six months of 1996.  Such increase
is attributable to the accrual of interest under the Purchase Money Notes.

       The  Partnership's  equity in income from the Local Limited  Partnerships
was  $84,860 in the first six months of 1997 and $10,810 in the first six months
of 1996.  The $74,050  increase in income  recognized in the first six months of
1997 is attributable  to the recognition of investment  income of $32,120 from a
cash  distribution  from Glendale  Manor which would have reduced its investment
amount balance below zero,  plus an increase in the  Partnership's  share of net
income recorded of $41,930.
