NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

        The Partnership's taxable loss for the year ended
December 31, 1999 is expected to differ from its loss for
financial reporting purposes for the year ended March 31, 1999.
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.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and
   Results of Operations

Liquidity
- ---------
    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 December 31, 1998 were $238,677 and total partnership
management fees accrued as of
December 31, 1998 were $6,206,797. 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 $258,250 to
the
Partnership to pay certain third party operating expenses.  None
of the funds were advanced in the quarter ended December 31,
1998. The amounts
advanced to four of the six series as are as follows:  $61,810 to
Series 1;
$45,000 to Series 2; $102,250 to Series 3; and $262,265 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 December 31, 1998 and 1997 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

                                 44
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
fee will be repaid from the sale or refinancing proceeds.  The
annual partnership
management fee charged to operations for the quarters ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $233,677 and $223,203,
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.
     
     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 December 31, 1998 and 1997, the average
Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 100% and 99.7%, respectively.  The
series had a total of 19 properties at December 31, 1998.  Out of
the total, 19 were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

    For the nine months being reported, the series reflects a net
loss from
Operating Partnerships of $1,243,721.  When adjusted for
depreciation, which
is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflects a net
loss of $29,799. Substantially all of the net loss for both years
is attributable to accrued mortgage interest not currently
payable by Kingston Property Associates (Broadway East
Townhomes), Genesee Commons Associates (River Park Commons), and
Unity Park Associates (Unity Park Phase II).  All three Operating
Partnerships have forbearance agreements in place allowing the
property to pay minimal mortgage payments while the property
continues to accrue all interest payments due.  Occupancy remains
low due to a lack of rental assistance and a poor local economy.
The properties have received loans from the state housing agency,
which are being used to complete rehabilitation work.  This rehab
is ongoing and loan proceeds will continue to fund repairs until
the moneys are exhausted.  The management company feels these
repairs should have a positive effect on occupancy.

     The properties owned by Townhomes of Minnehaha Court
(Minnehaha Court Apartments) and Virginia Circle (Virginia Circle
Townhomes) have shown improved operating results but continue to
incur high operating expenses, which have resulted in operating
deficits. Minnesota Housing Finance Agency has continued their
commitment to support improved operations by granting interest
free mortgage loans to Townhomes of Minnehaha and Virginia Circle
to correct deferred maintenance issues.  Work on most of the
deferred maintenance items has been performed.  The management
company continues to complete the remaining list of
repairs/improvements as weather permits.  It is anticipated that
the improvements will allow for a reduction of operating expenses
in the future, which is essential for continued improvement in
the properties' performance.

                                 45
    Series 2.
    ---------  As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the average
Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 100% for both years.  The series had
a total of eight properties at December 31, 1998 all of which
were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

     For the nine months being reported the series reflects a net
loss
from the Operating Partnerships of $330,183.  When adjusted for
depreciation,
which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect a
net loss of
$40,532.

     The properties owned by Haven Park Partners III, A
California L.P. (Glenhaven Park III) and Haven Park Partners IV,
A California L.P. (Glenhaven Park IV) continue to suffer from
high operating expenses and occupancy issues. The management
company has said that the rental market is poor with an over
supply of housing.  As of December 31, 1998 physical occupancy at
the two properties were 80% and 75%, respectively.  The
management company will continue to actively conduct outreach to
generate new interest in the properties along with working
towards reducing the operating expenses.  The Investment General
Partner is also working with the Operating General Partner in
developing a capital needs plan to assess what can be done to the
properties in hopes of improving occupancy levels.

     Annadale Housing Partners (Kingsview Manor & Estates) has
reported net losses due to operational issues associated with the
property.  Although occupancy has stabilized, economic factors
relevant to the marketplace prevent the necessary rental income
from being generated to cover the operational expenses.  The
rental rates at the property were increased during the last
quarter of 1998, the Operating General Partner anticipates that
this will have a positive effect on overall cash flow for the
property.  In a step to cut costs even further the Operating
General Partner has initiated loan restructure discussions with
the first lender for more favorable terms.  The Investment
General Partner continues to monitor this situation closely.
Occupancy is at 92% as of December 31, 1998.

    Series 3.
    ---------  As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the average
Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 99.3% and 99.8%, respectively.  The
series had a total of 33 properties at December 31, 1998 of which
31 were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.
     
     For the nine months being reported series reflects a net
loss from the
Operating Partnerships of $1,883,157.  When adjusted for
depreciation, which
is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect a net loss
of $28,807.

     The Investment General Partner continues to monitor the
operations of Lincoln Hotel Associates (Lincoln Apartments) in an
effort to improve the overall results of operations of the
series.  A recent rehabilitation of the property has been
completed and should assist in attracting new tenants.  As of
December 31, 1998 the overall physical occupancy of the property
was 96%.  The management company, with the assistance of area
housing agencies and a
     
     
                                 46
more thorough screening process, has greatly improved occupancy
rates.  The improvement in occupancy is anticipated to have a
positive effect on net income.

     The property owned by California Investors VI L.P. (Orchard
Park)  continues to suffer from physical occupancy issues.
Occupancy at December 31, 1998 was at 88%.  The occupancy problem
appears to be related to the
marketplace, but the management company has replaced the site
manager in hopes that changes in personnel will stimulate a
better approach to renting units at the property.  The management
company continues to be aggressive with marketing the property
and conducting active outreach.  The Operating General Partner,
with the assistance of a consultant, has developed a new
marketing campaign, which was implemented during the last quarter
of 1998.  In addition, a large recreation facility is expected to
be built adjacent to the property at the end of 1999. Once this
park is opened, it is expected to enhance the appeal of Orchard
Park Apartments to families.

     The Operating General Partner of Hidden Cove Apartments
(Hidden Cove) continues to incur operating deficits due to high
operating expenses.  The Operating General Partner is funding a
capital improvement plan established by the new management
company in hopes of improving the property's appeal.  Average
occupancy at the property remains at 95%.  At this time, the
Operating General Partner is working with the management company
to develop the 1999 budget and an updated capital improvement
plan.  In addition, the Operating General Partner has begun to
approach several local lenders regarding refinancing the
properties permanent loan.

      Central Parkway Tower (Central Parkway Towers), continues
to experience occupancy problems.  As of December 31, 1998 the
physical occupancy is at 61%. The low occupancy continues to
result in operating deficits, accrued payables, and deferred
maintenance.  The property manager is currently trying to
increase occupancy by working with city, state, and federal
agencies to expand referrals and contracts, and restructuring
existing subsidies.

Series 4.
    ---------  As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the average
Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 100% for both years.  The series had
a
total of 25 properties at December 31, 1998, all of which were at
100%
Qualified Occupancy.

    For the nine months being reported series reflects a net loss
from
the Operating Partnerships of $1,687,165.  When adjusted for
depreciation,
which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflects
positive operations of $38,356.

     Unity Park Associates (Unity Park Phase II) reflects a net
loss, which is attributable to accrued mortgage interest.  The
Operating Partnership has a forbearance agreement in place
allowing the property to pay minimal mortgage
payments while the property continues to accrue all interest
payments
due.  Occupancy remains low due to a lack of rental assistance
and a
poor local economy.  The property has received loans from the
state
housing agency, which are being used to complete rehabilitation
work.  This rehab is ongoing and proceeds will continue to fund
repairs until the moneys

                                 47
are exhausted.  The management company feels these repairs should
have a positive effect on occupancy.

     The Operating Partnership, Van Dyck Estates XVI-A (Van Dyck
Estates XVI-A) continues to pay its delinquent real estate taxes
in accordance with the repayment plan.  The final installment of
delinquent real estate taxes will be due in April.  The Operating
General Partner believes that once these taxes have been paid
operating deficits should be minimal.  The property continues to
operate at nearly 100% occupancy every month.

      Central Parkway Tower (Central Parkway Towers), continues
to experience occupancy problems.  As of December 31, 1998 the
physical occupancy is at 61%.  The low occupancy continues to
result in operating deficits, accrued payables, and deferred
maintenance.  The property manager is currently trying to
increase occupancy by working with city, state, and federal
agencies to expand referrals and contracts, and restructuring
existing subsidies.
