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 $566 during the first six months
of 1998 have been treated as distributions  from the Local Limited  Partnerships
and  a  distribution  to  the  partners  of  Liberty  Housing  Partners  Limited
Partnership.

interest on the Purchase Money Note obligations of the  Partnership,  as of June

amount of the Purchase Money Notes reported on the  Partnership's  Balance Sheet

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,  1998,  the unpaid  principal  amount of and  accrued  and
unpaid interest on the Linden Park Associates Limited  Partnership Notes equaled

       At June 30,  1998,  the  Partnership  had reserves of $56,260 in cash and
cash  equivalents.  Accrued interest  totaling  $186,617 due on certain Purchase
Money  Notes  from  distributions   received  from  the  related  Local  Limited
Partnerships was distributed in the second quarter of 1998.

         In 1998, the Partnership accrued interest of $19,475 on the Linden Park
Associates  Limited  Partnership  Notes  held by the  Partnership  and  received
$11,566  of  interest  payments  on  these  notes.  As of  June  30,  1998,  the
outstanding  balance of principal and accrued and unpaid interest  receivable on
these notes amounted to $243,347, prior to unamortized discount of $91,953.

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  $1,277,244  in the first six
months of 1998 from  $1,008,459  in the first six months of 1997  primarily as a
result of the increase in the  Partnership's  interest expense of $212,995,  and
the decrease in income of local limited  partnership  investments  recognized of
$57,885.

         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  $5,869 to $20,710 in the first six months of
1998  compared  to  $26,579 in the first six months of 1997.  This  decrease  is
attributable  to lower cash  balances  maintained by the  Partnership  and lower
interest  payments  received on the Linden Park Associates  Limited  Partnership
Notes held by the Partnership.

Partnership Operations, continued


         The Partnership's interest expense increased to $1,265,737 in the first
six  months  of 1998 from  $1,052,742  in the  first  six  months of 1997.  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  $26,975 in the first six months of 1998 and $84,860 in the first six months
of 1997.  The $57,885  decrease in income  recognized in the first six months of
1998 is  attributable  to an increase of $76,859 in the  Partnership's  recorded
share of the net loss of the Local Limited  Partnerships,  net of an increase of
$18,975 in cash  distributions  which would have reduced the related  investment
balances below zero. The increase in net loss of the Local Limited  Partnerships
is  attributable  principally  to an  increase  in the  expenses  for repairs at
certain of the Local Limited Partnerships.
