                       (A Florida Limited Partnership)
                   NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

   Gateway  Tax Credit Fund, Ltd. ("Gateway"), a Florida Limited Partnership,
was  formed October 27, 1987 under the laws of Florida.  Operations commenced
on  June  30, 1988.  Gateway invests, as a limited partner, in other  limited
partnerships  ("Project  Partnerships"), each  of  which  owns  and  operates
apartment  complexes expected to qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax  Credits.
Gateway will terminate on December 31, 2040 or sooner, in accordance with the
terms  of the Limited Partnership Agreement.  Gateway closed the offering  on
March   1,   1990  after  receiving  Limited  and  General  Partner   capital
contributions  of $25,566,000 and $1,000 respectively.  The  fiscal  year  of
Gateway for reporting purposes ends on March 31.

   Raymond  James  Partners, Inc. and Raymond James Tax Credit  Funds,  Inc.,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc., are  the  General
Partner  and  Managing General Partner, respectively.  The  Managing  General
Partner manages and controls the business of Gateway.

   Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations  and  tax
credits  are  allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and  1%  to  the  General
Partners.   Profit  or loss and cash distributions from sales  of  properties
will be allocated as formulated in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Combined Statements

  The accompanying statements include, on a combined basis, the accounts of
Gateway, Village  Apartments of  Sparta  Limited  Partnership  and  Village
Apartments of Divernon Limited Partnership ("Combined Entities"),two Project
Partnerships  in which  Gateway has invested.  As of  October  1, 1996  and
October 1, 1997,  respectively,  an affiliate of Gateway's Managing General
Partner,  Value Partners, Inc. became the  general  partner of the Combined
Entities.  Since the  genera l partner of the  Combined  Entities is now an
affiliate  of Gateway, these  combined  financial  statements  include  the
financial  activity  of the  Combined  Entities  for the  six  months ended
September 30, 2000.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been  eliminated.  Gateway  has  elected  to  report  the  results  of
operations of the Combined Entities on a 3-month lag basis, consistent with
the  presentation  of financial  information  of  all  Project Partnerships.

Basis of Accounting

   Gateway  utilizes  the accrual basis of accounting  whereby  revenues  are
recognized  when  earned  and expenses are recognized  when  obligations  are
incurred.

   Gateway accounts for its investments as the sole limited partner in Project
Partnerships  ("Investments in Project Partnerships"), with the exception  of
the  Combined  Entities,  using  the equity  method  of  accounting,  because
management  believes  that Gateway does not have a majority  control  of  the
major  operating and financial policies of the Project Partnerships in  which
it invests, and reports the equity in losses of the Project Partnerships on a
3-month  lag  in the Statements of Operations.  Under the equity method,  the
Investments in Project Partnerships initially include:

  1)  Gateway's capital contribution,
  2)   Acquisition fees paid to the General Partner for services rendered  in
  selecting properties for acquisition, and
  3)    Acquisition   expenses  including  legal  fees,  travel   and   other
  miscellaneous costs relating to acquiring properties.

Quarterly  the Investments in Project Partnerships are increased or decreased
as follows:

  1)   Increased  for equity in income or decreased for equity in  losses  of
  the Project Partnerships,
  2)    Decreased   for   cash  distributions  received  from   the   Project
  Partnerships, and
  3)  Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and expenses.

   Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over 35 years, as this
is  the  average  estimated  useful  life  of  the  underlying  assets.   The
amortization   is  shown  as  amortization  expense  on  the  Statements   of
Operations.

    Pursuant   to  the  limited  partnership  agreements  for   the   Project
Partnerships, cash losses generated by the Project Partnerships are allocated
to  the  general partners of those partnerships.  In subsequent  years,  cash
profits, if any, are first allocated to the general partners to the extent of
the allocation of prior years' cash losses.

   Since Gateway invests as a limited partner, and therefore is not obligated
to  fund  losses  or  make  additional capital  contributions,  it  does  not
recognize  losses  from individual Project Partnerships to  the  extent  that
these  losses would reduce the investment in those Project Partnerships below
zero.   The  suspended losses will be used to offset future income  from  the
individual Project Partnerships.

  Gateway recognizes a decline in the carrying value of its investment in the
Project Partnerships when there is evidence of a non-temporary decline in the
recoverable  amount  of  the investment.  There is  a  possibility  that  the
estimates  relating to reserves for non-temporary declines in carrying  value
of  the  investments in Project Partnerships may be subject to material  near
term adjustments.

   Gateway,  as a limited partner in the Project Partnerships, is subject  to
risks  inherent  in the ownership of property which are beyond  its  control,
such as fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations in
rental  schedules,  proper  maintenance  and  continued  eligibility  of  tax
credits. If the cost of operating a property exceeds the rental income earned
thereon,Gateway  may  deem  it in its best interest to voluntarily provide
funds in order to protect its investment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

   It  is Gateway's policy to include short-term investments with an original
maturity  of  three months or less in Cash and Cash Equivalents.   Short-term
investments are comprised of money market mutual funds.

Capitalization and Depreciation

   Land,  buildings  and improvements are recorded at cost and  provides  for
depreciation using the modified accelerated cost recovery system  method  for
financial  and  tax reporting purposes in amounts adequate to amortize  costs
over the lives of the applicable assets as follows:

  Buildings                27-1/2 years
  Equipment                     7 years

   Expenditures  for  maintenance  and repairs  are  charged  to  expense  as
incurred.   Upon  disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate  property
accounts are reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation.   The
resulting gains and losses are reflected in the statement of income.

Rental Income

   Rental income, principally from short-term leases on the Combined Entity's
apartment  units,  is recognized as income under the accrual  method  as  the
rents become due.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

   Financial  instruments which potentially subject Gateway to concentrations
of credit risk consist of cash investments in a money market mutual fund that
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

   The  preparation  of  financial statements in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles requires the use of  estimates  that  affect
certain  reported  amounts and disclosures.  These  estimates  are  based  on
management's  knowledge and experience.  Accordingly,  actual  results  could
differ from these estimates.

Investment in Securities

   Effective April 1, 1995, Gateway adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities ("FAS 115"). Under FAS 115, Gateway is required to categorize its
debt  securities  as  held-to-maturity,  available-for-sale   or   trading
securities,  dependent  upon  Gateway's intent  in  holding  the  securities.
Gateway's intent dependent upon Gateway's intent in holding the securities.
Gateway's  intent is to hold all of its debt securities (U. S. Treasury
Security Strips) until maturity  and  to  use  these reserves to fund
Gateway's ongoing  operations. Interest income is recognized ratably on the
U.S. Treasury Strips using the effective yield to maturity.

Offering and Commission Costs

  Offering and commission costs were charged against Limited Partners' Equity
upon the admission of Limited Partners.

Income Taxes

   No provision for income taxes has been made in these financial statements,
as income taxes are a liability of the partners rather than of Gateway.

Reclassifications

   For comparability, the 1999 and 1998 figures have been reclassified, where
appropriate,  to  conform with the financial statement presentation  used  in
2000.

Basis of Preparation

   The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared  in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q 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, 2000.  In the opinion of management  these
financial statements include adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments,  necessary  to  fairly  summarize  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.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES:

   The  September 30, 2000 Balance Sheet includes Investments  in  Securities
equal to $1,641,725 ($430,073 and $1,211,652).  These investments consist  of

Item  7.   Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations:

Results of Operations

   As  disclosed on the Statements of Operations, interest income  and  total
expenses  were  comparable for the six and three months ended  September  30,
2000 and 1999.

   Gateway's  share  of  Equity  in  Losses  of Project Partnerships prior to
suspended  losses for the six  months ended September 30, 2000 decreased from
$1,604,382  for the six  months  ended  September 30, 1999 to $1,367,177 as a
result  of higher  occupancy  rates  this  quarter.  In general, it is common
in  the real  estate  industry  to  experience  losses for  financial and tax
reporting  purposes  because of the  non-cash  expenses  of  depreciation and
amortization.  As  a result,  management  expects  Gateway  will  continue to
report its  equity in Project  Partnerships  as a loss for  tax and financial
reporting purposes.

   In  total,  the Partnership had a net loss of $452,584 for the six  months
ended  September  30,  2000.   However,  after  adjusting  for  amortization,
accreted  interest income, the changes in operating assets  and  liabilities,
and  the equity in losses of Project Partnerships, net cash used in operating
activities  was $327,746.  The net cash provided by investing activities  was
$132,447  consisting of $63,989 in cash distributions received  from  Project
Partnerships and $68,458 from matured Zero Coupons.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Gateway's  capital  resources are used to pay General  and  Administrative
operating  costs including personnel, supplies, data processing, travel,  and
legal  and  accounting associated with the administration and  monitoring  of
Gateway and the Project Partnerships.  The capital resources are also used to
pay  the  Asset Management Fee due the Managing General Partner, but only  to
the  extent  that  Gateway's  remaining  resources  are  sufficient  to  fund
Gateway's ongoing needs.  (Payment of any Asset Management Fee due but unpaid
at  the  time  Gateway  sells its interests in the  Project  Partnerships  is
subordinated to the investors return of their original capital contribution.)

   The sources of funds to pay the operating costs are short term investments
and  interest  earned thereon, the maturity of U.S. Treasury Security  Strips
("Zero Coupon Treasuries") which were purchased with funds set aside for this
purpose,  and cash distributed to Gateway from the operations of the  Project
Partnerships.   At  September 30, 2000, Gateway had $628,195  of  short  term
investments  (Cash  and Cash Equivalents).  It also had  $1,641,725  in  Zero
Coupon  Treasuries  with maturities providing $463,000 in  fiscal  year  2001
increasing  to  $514,000  in  fiscal year 2004.   Management  believes  these
sources  of  funds  are  sufficient to meet  Gateway's  current  and  ongoing
operating  costs  for the foreseeable future, and to pay part  of  the  Asset
Management Fee.
