NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

    Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund Limited Partnership ("the  Partnership")
was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware as of June 1, 1988, for the
purpose of acquiring, holding, and disposing of limited partnership interests
in operating partnerships which have acquired, developed, rehabilitated,
operate and own newly constructed, existing or rehabilitated low-income
apartment complexes  ("Operating Partnerships").  On August 22, 1988, American
Affordable Housing VI Limited Partnership changed its name to Boston Capital
Tax Credit Fund Limited Partnership.  The general partner of the Partnership
is Boston Capital Associates Limited Partnership and the limited partner is
BCTC Assignor Corp. (the "Assignor Limited Partner").

    Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Partnership filed a Form S-11
Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective
August 29, 1988, which covered the offering (the "Public Offering") of the
Partnership's beneficial assignee certificates ("BACs") representing
assignments of units of the beneficial interest of the limited partnership
interest of the Assignor Limited Partner.  The Partnership registered
10,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in six series.  Offers
and sales of BACs in Series 1 through Series 6 of the Partnership were
completed and the last of the BACs in Series 6 were issued by the Partnership
on September 29, 1989.  The Partnership sold 1,299,900 of Series 1 BACs,
830,300 of Series 2 BACs, 2,882,200 of Series 3 BACs, 2,995,300 of Series 4
BACs, 489,900 of Series 5 BACs and 1,303,000 of Series 6 BACs.  The
Partnership is no longer offering and does not intend to offer any additional
BACs.

NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS  (continued)
      As of June 30, 1997, an affiliate of the general partner advanced a
total of $144,250 to the Partnership to pay certain operating expenses of some
of the series.  These advances are included in Accounts payable -affiliates.
These advances, and any additional advances, will be paid, without interest,
from available cash flow or the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the
Partnership's interests in Operating Partnerships.

      As of June 30, 1997, an affiliate of the general partner funded
$83,734, interest free, to the Partnership (Series 1 and 4) so that it could
make three separate loans to the Operating Partnerships Virginia Circle, Van
Dyck Estates and New Grand Hotel in the amounts of $10,130, $53,713 and
$19,892, respectively.  The loans to Operating Partnerships Virginia Circle
and Van Dyck Estates are being made to fund operating expenses of the
operating partnership.  The loan to Operating Partnership New Grand Hotel
enabled the operating partnership to refinance its mortgage at a more
favorable rate.  These advances will be repaid to the Partnership by the
Operating Partnerships with surplus cash from operations. New Grand Hotel paid
$45,054 to the Partnership in October 1996, which was repaid to the affiliate.

NOTE D - INVESTMENTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS
       At June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership had limited partnership
interests in one hundred and five Operating Partnerships which own operating
apartment complexes as follows:  nineteen in Series 1; eight in Series 2;
thirty-three in Series 3; twenty-five in Series 4; five in Series 5; and
fifteen in Series 6.

       Under the terms of the Partnership's investment in each Operating
Partnership, the Partnership was required to make capital contributions to
such Operating Partnerships.  These contributions were payable in installments
over several years upon each Operating Partnership achieving specified levels
of construction and/or operations.  At June 30, 1997 and 1996, all
capital contributions had been paid to the Operating Partnerships in all of
the Series.

       The Partnership's fiscal year ends March 31 of each year, while all the
Operating Partnerships' fiscal years are the calendar year. Pursuant to the
provisions of each Operating Partnership Agreement, financial results for each
of the Operating Partnerships are provided to the Partnership within 45 days
after the close of each Operating Partnership's quarterly period.
Accordingly, the current financial results available for the Operating
Partnerships are for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

       The combined unaudited summarized statements of operations of the
Operating Partnerships for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996

The variance in allowable loss from the Operating Partnerships for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 is mainly a result of the way the
Partnership accounts for its investment in Operating Partnerships.  The
Partnership accounts for its investments using the equity method of
accounting.  Under the equity method of accounting, the Partnership adjusts
its investment cost for its share of each Operating Partnership's results of
operations and for any distributions received or accrued.  However, the
Partnership recognizes individual operating losses only to the extent of
capital contributions.  Excess losses are suspended for use in future years to
offset excess income.

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

        The Partnership's taxable loss for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1998 is expected to differ from its loss for financial reporting
purposes.  This is primarily due to accounting differences in depreciation
incurred by the Operating Partnerships and also differences between the equity
method of accounting and the IRS accounting methods.  No provision or benefit
for income taxes has been included in these financial statements since taxable
income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the partners and
assignees individually.

- ---------
    The Partnership's primary source of funds was the proceeds of its
Public Offering.  Other sources of liquidity include (i) interest earned on
working capital reserves, and (ii) cash distributions from the Operating
Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested.  These sources of
liquidity are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership.

    The Partnership is currently accruing the annual partnership management
fee.  Partnership management fees accrued during the quarter ended June
30, 1997 were $238,677 and total partnership management fees accrued as of
June 30, 1997 were $4,774,735. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement,
such liabilities will be deferred until the Partnership receives sales or
refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships, which will be used to
satisfy such liabilities.

    An affiliate of the general partner has advanced $144,250 to the
Partnership to pay certain third party operating expenses.  Of this amount,
$10,000 was advanced in the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The amounts advanced
to four of the six series as are as follows:  $40,000 to Series 1; $15,000 to
Series 2; $84,250 to Series 3; and $5,000 to Series 4.  These and any
additional advances will be paid, without interest, from available cash flow,
reporting fees, or the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership's
interests in Operating Partnerships.  The Partnership anticipates that as the
Operating Partnerships continue to mature, more cash flow and reporting fees
will be generated.  Cash flow and reporting fees will be added to the
Partnership's working capital and will be available to meet future third party
obligation of the Partnership.  The Partnership is currently pursuing, and
will continue to pursue, available cash flow and reporting fees and
anticipates that the amount collected will be sufficient to cover third party
operating expenses.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

    At June 30, 1997 and 1996 the Partnership held limited partnership
interests in 105 Operating Partnerships.  In each instance the Apartment
Complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the
Federal Housing Tax Credit.  Occupancy of a unit in each Apartment Complex
which initially complied with the Minimum Set-Aside Test (i.e., occupancy by
tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage of area median
income) and the Rent Restriction Test(i.e., gross rent charged tenants does
not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to hereinafter
as "Qualified Occupancy."  Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the
respective Apartment Complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus or
applicable report on Form 8-K.  The General Partner believes that there is
adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

    The Partnership incurs an annual partnership management fee to the General
Partner and/or its affiliates in an amount equal to 0.375% of the aggregate
cost of the Apartment Complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the
amount of certain partnership management and reporting fees paid by
the Operating Partnerships.  The annual partnership management fee is
currently being accrued.  It is anticipated that all outstanding fees
will be repaid from the sale or refinancing proceeds.  The annual partnership
management fee charged to operations for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 were $231,758 and $223,944, respectively.  This amount is anticipated to
be lower in subsequent fiscal years as more of the Operating Partnerships
begin to pay annual asset management fees and reporting fees to the series


                                   37

    The Partnership's investment objectives do not include receipt of
significant cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has
invested.  The Partnership's investments in Operating Partnerships have been
made principally with a view towards realization of Federal Housing Tax
Credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.  The Results of
Operations reported herein are interim period estimates that may not
necessarily be indicative of final year end results.

    Series 1.
    ---------  As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the average Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 99.2% and 99.4%, respectively.  The series had a
total of 19 properties at June 30, 1997.  Out of the total, 17 were at
100% Qualified Occupancy.

    For the three months being reported, the series reflects a net loss from
Operating Partnerships of $591,791.  When adjusted for depreciation, which
is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect a net loss of $155,376.
Substantially all of the net loss for both years is attributable to accrued
mortgage interest not payable currently by Kingston Property Associates,
Genesee Commons Associates, and Unity Park Associates.  All three
partnerships have closed on mortgages which require minimum debt service
payments, the funds from which are being utilized exclusively for
completing structural repairs and upgrades.  The Operating General Partners
have continued to fund the majority of the balance of the net loss.

    The properties owned by Townhomes of Minnehaha Court and Virginia
Circle are experiencing high operating expenses which are resulting in
operating deficits.  The respective management companies are implementing
cost saving measures to mitigate these deficits and stabilize the
properties operations.

    Series 2.
    ---------  As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the average Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 100% and 98.8%, respectively.  The series had a
total of eight properties at June 30, 1997, all of which were at 100%
Qualified Occupancy.

    For the three months being reported the series reflects a net loss
from the Operating Partnerships of $117,858.  When adjusted for depreciation,
which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect a net loss of
$5,285.

    Annadale Housing Partners has reported net losses due to operational
issues associated with the property. The Operating Partnership continues to
stabilize since the completion of rehabilitation and occupancy has shown
steady improvement.  Occupancy is at 91% as of June 30, 1997.




                                   38

    Series 3.
    ---------  As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the average Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 99.6% and 99.7%, respectively.  The series had a
total of 33 properties at June 30, 1997, of which 31 were at 100%
Qualified Occupancy.

    For the three months being reported series reflects a net loss from the
Operating Partnerships of $683,342.  When adjusted for depreciation, which
is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect a net loss of $46,133.

      The General Partner is continuing to monitor the operations of Lincoln
Hotel Associates in an effort to improve the overall results of operations
of the series.  The new management company of Lincoln Hotel has secured a
100% project based subsidy and housing stabilization funds from the
Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development.  The
increased income afforded under the favorable subsidy contract should
allow for a stabilization of the project's net operating income.  The
subsidy will also increase affordability for prospective tenants thereby
increasing occupancy percentages.  The Housing Stabilization Funds will
be used to rehabilitate the property.

      The property owned by California Investors VI, L.P. has experienced
a reduction in occupancy, which stands at 80% at June 30, 1997.  The
management company is increasing their marketing efforts, as well as
implementing capital improvements to the property to attract tenants.
These efforts should improve occupancy and stabilize the property.

      The new management company at Hidden Cove continues to make
improvements to the tenant base and occupancy which stands at 92% at
June 30, 1997, however, the property is still generating operating
deficits.  As such, the management company is implementing cost saving
measures to mitigate these deficits and stabilize the property.

     Series 4.
    ---------  As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the average Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 100% and 100%, respectively.  The series had a
total of 25 properties at June 30, 1997, all of which were at 100%
Qualified Occupancy.

    For the three months being reported series reflects a net loss from
the Operating Partnerships of $620,407.  When adjusted for depreciation,
which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect a net loss of
$30,115.

    Unity Park Associates reflects a net loss which is attributable to
accrued mortgage interest which is not payable currently under the terms of
its mortgage.  Unity Park Associates has closed on a second mortgage, the
funds from which are being utilized exclusively for completing structural
repairs and upgrades. The Operating General Partners have continued to fund
the majority of the balance of the net loss.



                                    39


     The new Operating General Partner has discovered that there are
delinquent real estate taxes on the property owned by Van Dyke Estates
XVI.  These taxes are being paid resulting in operating deficits.  The
new Operating General Partner believes that once these taxes have been
paid operating deficits will be minimal.

    Series 5.
    ---------  As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the average Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 100% and 99.6%, respectively.  The series had a
total of five properties at June 30, 1997, all of which were at 100%
Qualified Occupancy.

    For the three months being reported the series reflects a net loss
from the Operating Partnerships of $57,309.  When adjusted for depreciation,
which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect positive
operations of $972.

    Annadale Housing Partners has reported net losses due to operational
issues associated with the property.  The Operating Partnership continues
to stabilize since the completion of rehabilitation and occupancy has
shown steady improvement.  Occupancy is at 91% as of June 30, 1997.  The
property owned by Glenhaven Park Partners is experiencing high operating
expenses which are resulting in operating deficits.  The management
company is implementing cost saving measures to mitigate these deficits
and stabilize the property's operations.

    Series 6.
    ---------  As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the average Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 99.7% and 100% respectively.  The series had a
total of 15 properties at June 30, 1997, of which 14 were at 100% Qualified
Occupancy.

    For the three months being reported the series reflects a net loss from
the Operating Partnerships of $251,142.  When adjusted for depreciation, which
is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect positive operations of
$51,187.
