1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships
The Partnership has acquired interests in thirty-three Local Limited
Partnerships, excluding Hughes Apartments Ltd. ("Hughes"), which own and operate
multi-family housing complexes, all of which are government-assisted. The
Partnership, as Investor Limited Partner pursuant to the various Local Limited
Partnership Agreements, has generally acquired a 99% interest in the profits,
losses, tax credits and cash flows from operations of each of the Local Limited
Partnerships. Upon dissolution, proceeds will be distributed according to each
respective partnership agreement.
A summary of Investments in Local Limited Partnerships, excluding Hughes, at
September 30, 1997, is as follows:

BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1997, the Partnership, including the combined entity (Hughes
Apartments Ltd.), had cash and cash equivalents of $371,179 compared with
$453,264 at March 31, 1997. The decrease is attributable to purchases of
marketable securities in excess of proceeds from sales and maturities of
marketable securities and cash used for operations. These decreases to cash are
offset by cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships.
At September 30, 1997, approximately $1,687,000 of cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities has been designated as Reserves. The Reserves 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.
Since the Partnership invests as a limited partner, the Partnership has no
contractual duty to provide additional funds to Local Limited Partnerships
beyond its specified investment. Thus, at September 30, 1997, the Partnership
had no contractual or other obligation to any Local Limited Partnership which
had not been paid or provided for.
In the event a Local Limited Partnership encounters operating difficulties
requiring additional funds, the Partnership's management might deem it in its
best interest to provide such funds, voluntarily, in order to protect its
investment.
Cash Distributions
No cash distributions were made during the six months ended September 30, 1997.
Results of Operations
The Partnership's results of operations for the three and six months ended
September 30, 1997 resulted in a net loss of $453,111 and $1,042,021, as
compared to a net loss of $634,527 and $1,128,315 for the same periods in 1996.
The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to a decrease in equity in
losses of Local Limited Partnerships due to an increase in losses not recognized
by the Partnership for Local Limited Partnerships whose cumulative equity in
losses and cumulative distributions exceeded its total investment in these
partnerships. This decrease is offset by a decrease in the provision for
valuation of investments in Local Limited Partnerships and an increase in
general and administrative expenses. The provision for valuation of investments
in Local Limited Partnerships decreased because the investment in Pebble Creek
reached zero through equity in losses in 1997 making future provisions
unnecessary. General and administrative expenses increased because a
reclassification of Hughes expenses to a receivable account occurred in the 1996
period.
Property Discussions
Limited Partnership interests have been acquired in thirty-four Local Limited
Partnerships which own and operate rental properties located in nineteen states.
Fourteen of the properties with 774 apartments were newly constructed and twenty
of the properties with 2,091 apartments were rehabilitated.
Most of the thirty-four Local Limited Partnerships have stabilized operations.
The majority of these stabilized properties are operating at break-even or
generating operating cash flow.
A number of properties are experiencing operating difficulties and cash flow
deficits due to a variety of reasons. The Local General Partners of those
properties have funded operating deficits through project expense loans,
subordinated loans or payments from operating escrows. In certain instances
where the Local General Partners have stopped funding deficits because their
obligation to do so has expired or otherwise, the Managing General Partner is
working with the Local General Partners to increase operating income, reduce
expenses or refinance the debt at lower interest rates in order to improve cash
flow.

BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Property Discussions (continued)
Specifically, four of these properties are Graver Inn, 600 Dakota, Barrington
Manor and Duluth Apartments, located in North and South Dakota. Due to the
Managing General Partner's concerns regarding the long-term viability of these
projects, negotiations are underway with the Local General Partner to develop a
plan that will ultimately transfer ownership of the properties to the Local
General Partner. The plan includes provisions to maximize the Fund's ability to
retain tax credits going forward, while minimizing the risk of recapture.
As previously reported, the Managing General Partner was successful in reaching
a one year workout agreement with HUD on Pebble Creek, located in Arlington,
Texas effective June 1, 1997. The property had been experiencing significant
operating problems primarily due to considerable resident turnover and high
security and capital repair costs. The problems resulted in a mortgage default
and subsequent mortgage assignment to HUD. The workout included provisions for
substantial capital improvements to the property designed to stabilize
operations. The capital improvements were complete on time and in accordance
with the workout. Occupancy is currently 95%. The Managing General Partner
continues to work toward a long-term solution of the property issues.
As previously reported, Cass House and Verdean Gardens, Massachusetts properties
which share a common Local General Partner, continue to operate below break-even
in a slow rental market. Both properties, as well as Bittersweet Apartments,
have received SHARP subsidies in the past which have been an important part of
their annual income. Effective October 1, 1997, the Massachusetts Housing
Finance Agency (MHFA) which provided the SHARP subsidies, withdrew future SHARP
mortgage subsidies from its portfolio of 77 SHARP subsidized properties. The
Managing General Partner has joined a group of interested parties and is working
with MHFA to find a solution to the problems that will result as a result of
withdrawn subsidies. Given existing operating deficits and the dependence on
these subsidies by Cass House and Verdean Gardens, it is likely that both
properties will default on their mortgage obligations by the end of the year.
Bittersweet is also dependent upon these subsidies and default is a possibility.
It is possible that Partnership Reserves will be used to support these
properties until these issues can be resolved. The carrying value of the
Partnership's investment in these Local Limited Partnerships is zero at
September 30, 1997.
Hughes Apartments, located in Mandan, North Dakota, continues to generate
operating deficits. However, occupancy has increased to 98%. As we previously
reported, the Managing General Partner negotiated a forbearance agreement with
the lender which included an infusion of additional capital to cure the mortgage
default and fund capital repairs. A portion of the capital repairs is being
funded from Partnership Reserves. The Managing General Partner continues to
monitor property operations closely.
The Local General Partner for Brentwood Manor II, in Nashua, New Hampshire,
filed for protection under the provisions of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy laws. The
Managing General Partner's request to replace the Local General Partner with a
substitute general partner was denied by the lender. The Managing General
Partner continues to work towards replacing the Local General Partner. The
Managing General Partner is also seeking to replace the Local General Partner as
management agent of the property as well. As noted previously, although full
mortgage payments are being made at this time, partial mortgage payments were
made earlier in the year prior to the Local General Partner declaring
bankruptcy. The lender has required that the small deficit generated by the
deficient payments be cured immediately. The Managing General Partner is
negotiating with both the lender and the Local General Partner to develop a plan
for the payment of this amount. It is possible that Partnership Reserves will be
used to pay this deficit.
Boulevard Commons, located in Chicago, Illinois, is expected to generate a small
operating deficit in 1997. Although occupancy is currently 96%, expenses are
higher than expected due to increasing maintenance and capital needs, security
issues and high turnover at the property. The Managing General Partner, Local
General Partner and Property Manager are working to increase rents sufficiently
to provide for these needs.
