NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included with the Partnership's Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 1999. In the opinion of management, these financial
statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position
and results of operations. The results of operations for the periods may not be
indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
The Managing General Partner has elected to report results of the Local Limited
Partnerships on a 90 day lag basis because the Local Limited Partnerships report
their results on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, the financial information
about the Local Limited Partnerships that is included in the accompanying
financial statements is as of March 31, 1999 and 1998.
1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships
The Partnership has acquired limited partnership interests in thirty-three Local
Limited Partnerships, excluding 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 which contain certain operating and distribution restrictions, has
acquired a 99% interest in the profits, losses, tax credits and cash flows from
operations of each of the Local Limited Partnerships, with the exception of
Barrington Manor, Graver Inn, 600 Dakota and Duluth, in each of which the
Partnership's interest is only 49.5%. Upon dissolution, proceeds will be
distributed according to each respective partnership agreement.
A summary of Investments in Local Limited Partnerships, excluding Hughes, at
June 30, 1999, is as follows:

three months ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership has not recognized
$984,521 of equity in losses relating to twenty-seven Local Limited
Partnerships where cumulative equity in losses and cumulative distributions from
Local Limited Partnerships exceeded its total investments in these Local Limited
Partnerships.

BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain matters discussed herein constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
Partnership intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe
harbor provisions for forward-looking statements and are including this
statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Although
the Partnership believes the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, the Partnership can give no assurance that their expectations will
be attained. Actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially
from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to
a number of factors, including, without limitation, general economic and real
estate conditions, interest rates and unanticipated delays or expenses on the
part of the Partnership and their suppliers in achieving year 2000 compliance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1999, the Partnership, including the combined entity (Hughes
Apartments, Ltd.), has cash and cash equivalents of $119,063 as compared with
$225,822 at March 31, 1999. The decrease is primarily attributable to cash used
for operations and advances to Local Limited Partnerships. These decreases to
cash and cash equivalents are partially offset by cash distributions received
from Local Limited Partnerships and proceeds from sales and maturities of
marketable securities in excess of purchases of marketable securities.
At June 30, 1999, approximately $1,346,000 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 June 30, 1999, 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 interests to provide such funds, voluntarily, in order to protect its
investment. During the period ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership advanced
$159,558 to the Local Limited Partnerships for various property issues.
Cash Distributions
No cash distributions to Limited Partners were made during the three months
ended June 30, 1999. In the event that distributions are received from Local
Limited Partnerships, the Managing General Partner has decided that such amounts
will be used to increase Reserves. No assurance can be given as to the amounts
of future distributions from the Local Limited Partnerships since many of the
Properties benefit from some type of federal or state subsidy and, as a
consequence, are subject to restrictions on cash distributions. Therefore, it is
expected that only a limited amount of cash will be distributed to investors
from this source in the future.
Results of Operations
The Partnership's results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999
resulted in a net loss of $186,234 as compared to a net loss of $301,865 for the
same period in 1998. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to an
increase in distribution income and 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.
<PAGE>
BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Property Discussions
Currently the Partnership consists of 34 properties. Most of the 32 Local
Limited Partnerships have stabilized operations. The majority of these
stabilized properties are operating a breakeven or are generating positive
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.
As previously reported, the Local General Partner of 600 Dakota, Graver Inn and
Barrington Manor, located in North Dakota, and Duluth, located in South Dakota,
expressed to the Managing General Partner some concerns over the long-term
financial health of the properties. In response to these concerns and to reduce
possible future risk, the Managing General Partner consummated the transfer of
50% of the Partnership's capital and profits in the properties to an affiliate
of the Local General Partner in November 1997. Subsequently, the Local General
Partner transferred both its general partner interest and 48.5% of the
partnership interest in Barrington Manor and Duluth to a non profit general
partner effective June 17, 1999. As a result of this change, the date when the
Managing General Partner has the right to transfer the remaining interest to the
new Local General Partner was amended to reflect the June 17, 1999 effective
date. Accordingly, the Managing General Partner has the right to transfer the
Partnership's remaining interest to the new Local General Partner any time after
one year from June 17, 1999. In addition, the new Local General Partner has the
right to call the remaining interest after the tax credit period has expired.
On April 9, 1999, due to concerns over the financial viability of 600 Dakota and
Graver Inn and to avoid the potential risk of recapture of tax credits
associated with the properties, the Managing General Partner exercised its right
to transfer the Partnership's remaining interest in 600 Dakota and Graver Inn to
the Local General Partner. This transfer will not trigger a recapture event for
the Partnership nor have any impact on the Partnership's financial statement.
However, for tax purposes, this event will result in both Section 1231 gain and
cancellation of indebtedness income for the 1999 tax year. The Managing General
Partner continues to monitor closely the operations of Barrington Manor and
Duluth.
As previously reported, Boulevard Commons, located in Chicago, Illinois, is
experiencing operating deficits due to expenses increasing because of high
turnover at the property, security issues and increasing maintenance and capital
needs. As a result of these issues, Boulevard Common's mortgage went into
default. In October 1998, affiliates of the Managing General Partner replaced
the Local General Partners and a new unaffiliated non-profit general partner.
The interest of the original Local General Partners was converted to a special
limited partner interest with no right to participate in the management of the
Local Limited Partnership. Further, the Managing General Partner consummated the
transfer of 48% of the Partnership's capital and profits in the property to the
new Local General Partner. The Managing General Partner has the right to
transfer the Partnership's remaining interest to the new Local General Partner
any time after one year has elapsed.
Delmar, located in Gillette, Wyoming, has been experiencing operating deficits.
In addition, a significant amount of capital improvements on the property needs
to be completed in the very near future. In the past, deficits were funded by a
combination of the accrual of property management fees and the Local General
Partner. Due to the Managing General Partner's concerns regarding the long-term
viability of this property, the Managing General Partner negotiated with the
Local General Partner a plan that will ultimately transfer ownership of the
property to the Local General Partner. Effective January 1, 1998, the Managing
General Partner consummated the transfer of 49.5% of the Partnership's capital
and profits in the property to the Local General Partner. The Managing General
Partner has the right to transfer the Partnership's remaining interest in the
property to the Local General Partner any time after one year has elapsed.

(A Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Property Discussions (continued)
As previously reported, the Managing General Partner at Pebble Creek, located in
Arlington, Texas, the Managing General Partner is still negotiating with HUD to
extend and/or modify the existing workout agreement which expired May 31, 1998.
However, it is possible that the Partnership will not be able to retain its
interest in Pebble Creek. A foreclosure would result in recapture of credits,
the allocation of taxable income to the Partnership and loss of future benefits
associated with this property.
As previously reported, Cass House and Verdean Gardens, both located in
Massachusetts and share a common Local General Partner, continue to operate
below break-even. Both properties, as well as Bittersweet Apartments, receive a
subsidy through the State Housing Assistance Rental Program (SHARP), which is an
important part of their annual income. As originally conceived, the SHARP
subsidy was scheduled to decline over time to match expected increases in net
operating income. However, increases in net operating income failed to keep pace
with the decline in the SHARP subsidy. Many of the SHARP properties (including
Cass, Verdean and Bittersweet) structured workouts that included additional
subsidy in the form of Operating Deficit Loans (ODL's). Effective October 1,
1997, the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (MHFA), which provided the SHARP
subsidies, withdrew funding of the ODL's from its portfolio of 77 subsidized
properties. Properties unable to make full debt service payments were declared
in default by MHFA. The Managing General Partner has joined a group of SHARP
property owners called the Responsible SHARP Owners, Inc. (RSO) and is
negotiating with MHFA and the General Partners of Cass, Verdean and Bittersweet
to find a solution to the problems that will result from the withdrawn
subsidies. Due to the existing operating deficits and the dependence on these
subsidies, Cass and Verdean have defaulted on their mortgage obligations, and it
is likely that Bittersweet will default on its mortgage obligation in the near
future. On December 16, 1998, the Partnership joined with the RSO and about 20
SHARP property owners and filed suit against the MHFA (Mass. Sup. Court Civil
Action #98-4720). Among other things, the suit seeks to enforce the MHFA's
previous financial commitments to the SHARP properties. The lawsuit is complex
and in its early stages, so no predictions can be made at this time as to the
ultimate outcome. In the meantime, the Managing General Partner intends to
continue to participate in the RSO's efforts to negotiate a resolution of this
matter with MHFA.
As previously reported, the Local General Partner for Brentwood Manor II, in
Nashua, New Hampshire, filed for protection under the provisions of the Chapter
7 bankruptcy laws. Consequently, the Local General Partner was removed as
general partner of the Local Limited Partnership and replaced with an affiliate
of the Managing General Partner. In addition, the Managing General Partner
replaced the former Local General Partner as management agent of the property
with an unaffiliated third-party management agent. Although full mortgage
payments are being made at this time, partial mortgage payments were made
earlier in 1998 prior to the Local General Partner declaring bankruptcy. The
lender 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 former 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.
Sierra Pointe, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Terrace, located in Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma, which share a common Local General Partner, are experiencing
operating deficits due to occupancy issues. The March 31, 1999, occupancy for
Sierra Pointe was 85% and for Terrace was 91%. The Managing General Partner and
the Local General Partner are working with the local housing authorities in both
Nevada and Oklahoma to fill vacant units. The Managing General Partner continues
to work with the Local General Partner and management agent in an effort to
stabilize operations and improve occupancy. In addition, the Managing General
Partner is negotiating with the Local General Partner a plan that will
ultimately transfer ownership of the properties to the Local General Partner.
The plan includes provisions to minimize the risk of recapture.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of",
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, the
Partnership has implemented policies and practices for assessing impairment of
its real estate assets and

investments in local limited partnerships. Each asset is analyzed by real estate
experts to determine if an impairment indicator exists. If so, the carrying
value is compared to the future cash flows expected to be derived from the
asset. If the total undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, a
provision to write down the asset to fair value will be charged against income.
Impact of Year 2000
The Managing General Partner's plan to resolve year 2000 issues involves the
following four phases: assessment, remediation, testing and implementation. To
date, the Managing General Partner has fully completed an assessment of all
information systems that may not be operative subsequent to 1999 and has begun
the remediation, testing and implementation phase on both hardware and software
systems. Because the hardware and software systems of both the Partnership and
Local Limited Partnerships are generally the responsibility of obligated third
parties, the plan primarily involves ongoing discussions with and obtaining
written assurances from these third parties that pertinent systems will be 2000
compliant. In addition, neither the Partnership nor the Local Limited
Partnerships are incurring significant additional costs since such expenses are
principally covered under the service contracts with vendors. As of August 1999,
the General Partner is in the final stages of its Year 2000 remediation plan and
believes all major systems are compliant; any systems still being updated are
not considered significant to the Partnership's operations. However, despite the
likelihood that all significant year 2000 issues are expected to be resolved in
a timely manner, the Managing General Partner has no means of ensuring that all
systems of outside vendors or other entities that impact operations will be 2000
compliant. The Managing General Partner does not believe that the inability of
third parties to address their year 2000 issues in a timely manner will have a
material impact on the Partnership.
However, the effect of non-compliance by third parties is not readily
determinable.
Management has also evaluated a worst case scenario projection with respect to
the year 2000 and expects any resulting disruption of either the Managing
General Partner's activities or any Local Limited Partnership's operations to be
short-term inconveniences. Such problems, however, are not likely to fully
impede the ability to carry out necessary duties of the Partnership. Moreover,
because expected problems under a worst case scenario are not extensively
detrimental, and because the likelihood that all systems affecting the
Partnership will be compliant before 2000, the Managing General Partner has
determined that a formal contingency plan that responds to material system
failures is not necessary.
