Item 1.  Business

Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. III (the "Partnership") is a
limited  partnership  formed  on  August  9,  1988  under  the  Uniform  Limited
Partnership  Act of the State of  Delaware.  The  Certificate  and  Agreement of
Limited  Partnership  ("Partnership  Agreement")  authorized  the  sale of up to
100,000  units of Limited  Partnership  Interest  ("Units")  at $1,000 per Unit,
adjusted for certain  discounts.  The  Partnership  raised  $99,610,000  ("Gross
Proceeds"),  net of discounts of  $390,000,  through the sale of 100,000  Units.
Such amounts exclude five unregistered  Units previously  acquired for $5,000 by
the Initial  Limited  Partner,  which is also one of the General  Partners.  The
offering  of Units  terminated  on May 30,  1989.  No  further  sale of Units is
expected.

As described more fully under Item 7 -  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations,  affiliates  of the  Managing
General  Partner  assumed the Local  General  Partner  interest in several Local
Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested:  1) BF Harbour View,
Inc.  assumed the Local General Partner  interest in 241 Pine Street  Associates
L.P.  ("241 Pine  Street");  2) BF Willow Lake,  Inc.  assumed the Local General
Partner interest in Willow Lake Partners II, L.P.  ("Willow Lake");  3) BF Texas
Limited  Partnership  was admitted as an  additional  Local  General  Partner to
thirteen Local Limited Partnerships ("Texas Partnerships") and assumed the Local
General Partner  interest in the Temple Kyle,  L.P.,  Ltd. (the "Kyle");  and 4)
Boston  Financial  GP-I,  LLC.  assumed the Local  General  Partner  interest in
Breckenridge  Creste  Apartments,  L.P.  ("Breckenridge").   As  a  result,  the
Partnership  is deemed to have control over 241 Pine  Street,  Willow Lake,  the
Texas Partnerships, the Kyle and Breckenridge (the "Combined Entities"), and the
accompanying financial statements are presented in combined form to conform with
the  required   accounting   treatment  under  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.   However,  these  changes  only  affect  the  presentation  of  the
Partnership's   operating   results,   not  the  business  of  the  Partnership.
Accordingly,  a  presentation  of  information  about  industry  segments is not
applicable and would not be material to an  understanding  of the  Partnership's
business  taken as a whole.  As  described  more fully in Item 7 -  Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations,  the
Managing  General  Partner  has  transferred  all of the assets of twelve  Texas
Partnerships subject to their liabilities to unaffiliated  entities. As of March
31, 1998, the remaining Texas Partnership is presented in combined form.

The Partnership  has invested as a limited  partner in fifty-five  other limited
partnerships  ("Local Limited  Partnerships")  which own and operate residential
apartment  complexes  ("Properties"),  some of which  benefit  from some form of
federal,  state or local  assistance  programs and all of which  qualify for the
low-income  housing tax credits ("Tax  Credits") that were added to the Internal
Revenue  Code by the  Tax  Reform  Act of  1986  (the  "Code").  The  investment
objectives of the Partnership include the following:  (i) to provide current tax
benefits in the form of Tax Credits which qualified  limited partners may use to
offset  their  federal  income tax  liability;  (ii) to preserve and protect the
Partnership's capital; (iii) to provide limited cash distributions from property
operations  which are not  expected  to  constitute  taxable  income  during the
expected  duration of the  Partnership's  operations;  and (iv) to provide  cash
distributions  from  sale  or  refinancing  transactions.  There  cannot  be any
assurance  that the  Partnership  will  attain  any or all of  these  investment
objectives.

A more detailed discussion of these investment objectives,  along with the risks
in  achieving  them,  is  contained  in the section of the  prospectus  entitled
"Investment  Objectives and Policies - Principal  Investment  Policies" which is
herein incorporated by this reference.

Table A on the  following  pages  lists the  Properties  owned by Local  Limited
Partnerships  in which  the  Partnership  has  invested.  Item 7 of this  Report
contains  other  significant  information  with  respect to such  Local  Limited
Partnerships.  As required by applicable  rules, the terms of the acquisition of
Local Limited  Partnership  interests  have been described in supplements to the
Prospectus  and collected in one  post-effective  amendment to the  Registration
Statement,  in another  supplement to the Prospectus and in a report on Form 8-K
listed in Part IV of this Report (collectively, the "Acquisition Reports"); such
descriptions are incorporated herein by this reference.

      transfer will occur in July 1998.  In the meantime, operating deficits  
      continue to be funded from Partnership Reserves.

Although the  Partnership's  investments in Local Limited  Partnerships  are not
subject to seasonal  fluctuations,  the Partnership's  equity in losses of Local
Limited  Partnerships and rental operating revenues and expenses,  to the extent
they reflect the operations of individual  Properties,  may vary from quarter to
quarter based upon changes in occupancy  and  operating  expenses as a result of
seasonal factors.

With the exception of the Combined Entities, each Local Limited Partnership has,
as its general partners ("Local General  Partners"),  one or more individuals or
entities  not  affiliated  with the  Partnership  or its  General  Partners.  In
accordance  with the  partnership  agreements  under  which  such  entities  are
organized ("Local Limited Partnership  Agreements"),  the Partnership depends on
the Local General Partners for the management of each Local Limited Partnership.
As of March 31, 1998,  the following  Local Limited  Partnerships  have a common
Local General Partner or affiliated group of Local General  Partners  accounting
for the specified percentage of the total capital contributions in Local Limited
Partnerships:  (i) Boulevard Commons II and Boulevard Commons IIA,  representing
2.47%, have Carroll Properties,  Inc. and Robert King as Local General Partners;
(ii) Ellsworth, Syracuse, Satanta, Rossville, Humbolt, Smithville,  Brownsville,
Briarwood,  Billings,  Garden Plain, Wayne,  Horseshoe Bend, Bolivar, Oak Grove,
Westgate and  Altheimer,  representing  2.39%,  have The Lockwood Group as Local
General Partner; (iii) Elver Park II, Elver Park III, Tucson Trails I and Tucson
Trails II,  representing 6.38%, have Gorman Associates as Local General Partner;
(iv) Riverfront  Apartments and Susquehanna View,  representing 6.07%, have NCHP
as Local General Partner;  (v) West Dade and West Dade II,  representing  6.62%,
have Romat,  Inc. and Arbor,  Inc.,  respectively,  both of which have Aristedes
Martinez as  principal,  as Local  General  Partner;  (vi)  Elmwood and Fox Run,
representing  3.94%, have Delwood Ventures,  Inc. and R.S.F.  Ventures,  Inc. as
Local  General  Partners,  respectively,  both of which  have  Raymond  Baker as
principal; (vii) Eaglewood,  Lexington and Fulton, representing .77%, have Tommy
Harper,  Jerry Blurt and Chris  Turskey as Local  General  Partners;  and (viii)
Waterfront  and Shoreline,  representing  6.80%,  have M.B.  Associates as Local
General  Partner.  The Local  General  Partners of the  remaining  Local Limited
Partnerships are identified in the Acquisition  Reports,  which are incorporated
herein by reference.

The Properties owned by Local Limited  Partnerships in which the Partnership has
invested are and will  continue to be subject to  competition  from existing and
future  properties in the same areas.  The continued  success of the Partnership
will  depend  on many  factors,  most of which are  beyond  the  control  of the
Partnership  and which cannot be predicted  at this time.  Such factors  include
general economic and real estate market conditions, both on a national basis and
in those areas where the Properties are located,  the  availability  and cost of
borrowed  funds,  real estate tax rates,  operating  expenses,  energy costs and
government  regulations.  In  addition,  other  risks  inherent  in real  estate
investment may influence the ultimate success of the Partnership, including: (i)
possible  reduction  in rental  income  due to an  inability  to  maintain  high
occupancy  levels or adequate  rental levels;  (ii) possible  adverse changes in
general economic  conditions and adverse local  conditions,  such as competitive
overbuilding,  a decrease in employment  rates or adverse changes in real estate
laws,  including  building codes; and (iii) the possible future adoption of rent
control  legislation  which would not permit  increased costs to be passed on to
the tenants in the form of rent increases or which would suppress the ability of
the Local Limited Partnership to generate operating cash flow. Since most of the
Properties benefit from some form of government  assistance,  the Partnership is
subject  to the risks  inherent  in that  area  including  decreased  subsidies,
difficulties  in finding  suitable  tenants and  obtaining  permission  for rent
increases. In addition, any Tax Credits allocated to investors with respect to a
Property are subject to recapture to the extent that the Property or any portion
thereof  ceases to qualify for the Tax Credits.  Other future changes in Federal
and  state  income  tax  laws  affecting   real  estate   ownership  or  limited
partnerships  could have a material  and adverse  affect on the  business of the
Partnership.

The  Partnership  is managed by Arch  Street III,  Inc.,  the  Managing  General
Partner of the Partnership. The other General Partner of the Partnership is Arch
Street III Limited  Partnership.  To economize  on direct and  indirect  payroll
costs, the Partnership, which does not have any employees, reimburses The Boston
Financial Group Limited Partnership  ("Boston  Financial"),  an affiliate of the
General Partners, for certain expenses and overhead costs. A complete discussion
of the management of the Partnership is set forth in Item 10 of this Report.

Item 2.  Properties

The Partnership owns limited  partnership  interests in fifty-five Local Limited
Partnerships which own and operate  Properties,  some of which benefit from some
form of federal, state or local assistance programs and all of which qualify for
the  Tax  Credits  added  to the  Code  by the  Tax  Reform  Act  of  1986.  The
Partnership's  ownership interest in each Local Limited Partnership is generally
99%, except for Willow Lake, Breckenridge, Granite, Colony Apartments and 
Harbour View, where the Partnership's ownership interest is 98%, 98%,97%, 49% 
and 48.96%, respectively.

Each of the Local Limited Partnerships has received an allocation of Tax Credits
from its relevant state tax credit agency.  In general,  the Tax Credit runs for
ten years from the date the Property is placed in service.  The required holding
period (the  "Compliance  Period") of the  Properties is fifteen  years.  During
these fifteen  years,  the  Properties  must satisfy rent  restrictions,  tenant
income  limitations  and other  requirements,  as  promulgated  by the  Internal
Revenue Code, in order to maintain  eligibility  for the Tax Credit at all times
during  the  Compliance  Period.  Once a Local  Limited  Partnership  has become
eligible for the Tax Credits,  it may lose such  eligibility and suffer an event
of  recapture  if  its  Property   fails  to  remain  in  compliance   with  the
requirements.

In  addition,  some of the Local  Limited  Partnerships  have  obtained one or a
combination  of different  types of loans such as: i) below market rate interest
loans; ii) loans provided by a redevelopment agency of the town or city in which
the property is located at favorable  terms; and iii) loans which have repayment
terms that are based on a percentage of cash flow.

The schedules on the  following  pages provide  certain key  information  on the
Local Limited Partnership interests acquired by the Partnership.

*FmHA      This subsidy, which is authorized under Section 515 of the Housing 
           Act of 1949, can be one or a combination of different types of
           financing.  For instance,  FmHA may provide:  1) direct  below-market
           -rate  mortgage loans for rural rental housing;  2) mortgage interest
           subsidies which  effectively  lower the interest rate of the loan to 
           1%; 3) a rental  assistance  subsidy to tenants which allows them to 
           pay no more than 30% of their monthly income as rent with the balance
           paid by the federal government; or 4) a combination of any of the 
           above.

 Section   8 This subsidy,  which is  authorized  under Section 8 of Title II of
           the Housing and Community  Development Act of 1974,  allows qualified
           low- income  tenants to pay 30% of their monthly  income as rent with
           the balance paid by the federal government.

 (A)       As of March 31, 1998, the Managing  General  Partner has  transferred
           all of the  assets of twelve of the  Texas  Partnerships  subject  to
           their liabilities.  The one remaining Texas  Partnership,  Willowick,
           will  be   transferred   after  March  31,  1998.  The  twelve  Texas
           Partnerships  had total capital  contributions  and mortgage  payable
           amounts  of  $1,268,737  and  $5,365,807,  respectively,  as  of  the
           transfer dates.

(B)        As of March 31, 1998, the Managing  General  Partner has  transferred
           the title of  Rolling  Hills  Associates,  L.P.  and  Regency  Square
           Limited  Partnership to the lender.  These two Partnerships had total
           capital contributions and mortgagee payable amounts of $5,655,000 and
           $ 6,409,457, respectively, as of the transfer dates.

One Local Limited Partnership,  Quarter Mill Associates L.P., invested in by the
Partnership  represents more than 10% of the total capital  contributions  to be
made  to  Local  Limited  Partnerships  by the  Partnership.  Quarter  Mill is a
266-unit construction apartment complex located in Richmond, Virginia.

Quarter Mill is financed by a  combination  of private and public  sources.  The
first mortgage is at 8.75% interest,  has a 40-year term, and is insured by HUD.
The apartment  project is pledged as collateral for the note. In addition to the
first mortgage,  there is a subordinated  nonrecourse  note that is payable each
year only to the extent of 15% of the  property's  net cash flow,  as defined by
the note agreement.

Additional  information  required  under  this  item,  as  it  pertains  to  the
Partnership, is contained in Items 1, 7 and 8 of this report.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

Lone Oak Housing Associates, Ltd., as was previously reported, was the defendant
in a lawsuit in which the plaintiff had alleged  negligence and deceptive  Trade
Act violations.  This  litigation has been settled by the insurance  carrier and
the case dismissed.

Willow Lake  Partners  II, L.P.  ("Willow  Lake") is the  defendant in a lawsuit
relating  to  an  earlier  lawsuit   involving  Willow  Lake.  As  part  of  the
Partnership's  settlement with the former management agent, Willow Lake gave the
management  agent  two cash  flow  notes.  The  former  management  agent is now
claiming  that Willow Lake has cash flow (so  payments  should have been made on
the notes) and it is the  Partnership's  position that the property is running a
deficit. On June 25, 1998, the court found for Willow Lake on summary judgement 
and ruled that there has been no default on the note.  This litigation is no 
longer outstanding unless the former management agent decides to appeal.  


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.


                                                   PART II

Item 5.  Market for the Registrant's Units and Related Security Holder Matters

There is no public  market for the Units,  and it is not expected  that a public
market will develop.  If a Limited Partner  desires to sell Units,  the buyer of
those Units will be required to comply with the minimum  purchase and  retention
requirements and investor suitability standards imposed by applicable federal or
state  securities  laws and the  minimum  purchase  and  retention  requirements
imposed by the  Partnership.  The price to be paid for the Units, as well as the
commissions to be received by any participating broker-dealers,  will be subject
to negotiation by the Limited Partner seeking to sell his Units.  Units will not
be redeemed or repurchased by the Partnership.

The  Partnership  Agreement  does not impose on the  Partnership  or its General
Partners any  obligation to obtain  periodic  appraisals of assets or to provide
Limited Partners with any estimates of the current value of Units.

As of  June  15,  1998,  there  were  5,902  record  holders  of  Units  of  the
Partnership.

Cash distributions, when made, are paid annually.  No cash distribution was paid
in the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

     1998,  1997,  1996,  1995 and 1994  includes  $99,298, $166,606,  $173,408,
     $80,091 and $105,923,  respectively,  from the Combined  Entities that is 
     included on the Combined Balance sheets.  The total amount of long-term  
     debt is related to the  Combined  Entities.  Total  liabilities  for the
     years ended March 31,  1998,  1997,  1996,  1995 and 1994  includes

     Partnership with an original cost amount of $5,655,000.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Partnership  (including  the Combined  Entities) had a decrease in cash and
cash  equivalents of $67,747 for the year ended March 31, 1998. This decrease is
attributable to cash used for operations, purchases of marketable securities and
rental property.  These are partially  offset by sales of marketable  securities
and cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships.

The Managing  General Partner  initially  designated 3% of the Gross Proceeds 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.  The Managing  General  Partner may increase or decrease
such Reserves from time to time, as it deems appropriate.  During the year ended
March 31, 1993,  the Managing  General  Partner  decided to increase the Reserve
level to  3.75%.  Funds  approximating  $195,000  have been  withdrawn  from the
Reserves  to pay  legal  and  other  costs. Additionally,  professional  fees  
relating  to  various property issues totaling approximately  $1,636,000 have 
been paid from Reserves. This amount includes  approximately  $1,310,000 for the
Texas  Partnerships.  To date, Reserve funds in the amount of approximately  
$349,000 have also been used to make additional capital contributions to two 
Local Limited Partnerships,  and the Partnership has paid approximately 
$1,181,000 (net of paydowns) to purchase the mortgage of a Local Limited  
Partnership.  To date, the Partnership has used approximately  $1,309,000 of 
operating funds to replenish Reserves. At March 31, 1998, approximately $398,000
of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities have been  designated  as  
Reserves.  Reserves  may be used to fund  Partnership operating deficits,  if 
the Managing General Partner deems funding  appropriate. If  Reserves  are not 
adequate  to  cover  the  Partnership's  operations,  the Partnership will seek 
other financing sources including, but not limited to, the deferral of Asset  
Management Fees paid to an affiliate of the Managing  General Partner or working
with Local Limited Partnerships to increase cash distributions.

In the  event a Local  Limited  Partnership  encounters  operating  difficulties
requiring  additional funds, the Partnership might deem it in its best interests
to provide such funds, voluntarily, in order to protect its investment. To date,
in addition to the $1,310,000  noted above,  the  Partnership  has also advanced
approximately $638,000 to the Texas Partnerships and $662,000 to two other Local
Limited Partnerships to fund operating deficits.

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 March 31, 1998, the Partnership had no
contractual or other obligation to any Local Limited  Partnership  which had not
been paid or provided for.


Cash Distributions

No cash  distributions  were made in the three years ended March 31, 1998. As of
March 31,  1998,  all  required  capital  contributions  have been made to Local
Limited Partnerships. Based on the results of 1997 operations, the Local Limited
Partnerships are not expected to distribute  significant  amounts of cash to the
Partnership  because  such  amounts  will be needed to fund  Property  operating
costs. In addition,  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

1998 versus 1997

For the year ended March 31, 1998, Partnership operations resulted in a net loss
of  $3,597,835  as compared to a net loss of  $7,208,441  for the same period in
1997.  The  decrease  in net loss is  primarily  attributable  to a increase  in
extraordinary  gain on  cancellation  of  indebtedness,  an  increase  in rental
revenue,  a decrease in provision for valuation of real estate and a decrease in
equity  in  losses.  These  decreases  in net loss are  partially  offset  by an
increase in bad debt expense, rental operations and interest expense.

1997 versus 1996

For the year ended March 31, 1997, Partnership operations resulted in a net loss
of $7,208,441  as compared to a net loss of $5,440,551  for the year ended 1996.
The  increase  in  net  loss  is  primarily   attributable   to  a  decrease  in
extraordinary  gain on  forgiveness  of  indebtedness  and the  recognition of a
provision  for  valuation  of  real  estate  by the  Texas  Partnerships.  These
increases are partially offset by a decrease in equity in losses.

The decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited  Partnerships is a result of a
decrease  in rental  operations  and  interest  expenses  at the  Local  Limited
Partnerships.  In addition, one of the Local Limited Partnerships contributed to
a decrease in equity in losses due to a reallocation of the net loss between the
Local and General Partners in 1997.

Effect of recently issued Accounting Standard

The Financial  Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.  The standard
requires that changes in comprehensive  income be shown in a financial statement
that is displayed with the same  prominence as other financial  statements.  The
standard is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1997. The
Partnership  will adopt the new standard  beginning in the first  quarter of the
fiscal year ending  March 31, 1999, but it is not expected to have a significant
effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credits

The 1997,  1996 and 1995 Tax  Credits  per Unit for  individuals  were  $123.94,
$136.50 and $138.47,  respectively. The 1997, 1996 and 1995 Tax Credits per Unit
for corporations were $129.80, $142.65 and $144.62,  respectively.  The credits,
which have  stabilized,  are expected to remain stable for the next three years,
and then they are  expected to decrease as certain  properties  reach the end of
the ten-year credit period.  The transfer of ownership of the Texas Partnerships
will result in nominal  recapture  of tax credits  since the Texas  Partnerships
represent only 2% of the Partnership's tax credits.

The Tax Credits per Unit for corporate investors will be slightly higher for the
remaining years of the credit period than that for individual  investors because
certain of the  Properties  took  advantage  of 1990  federal  legislation  that
allowed the  acceleration  of future tax credits to  individuals in the tax year
ended  December 31, 1990.  For those  Properties  that elected to accelerate the
individual credit, the accelerated portion is being amortized over the remainder
of the credit period,  thereby causing a reduction of this and future year's tax
credits  passed  through by those  Properties.  In total,  both  individual  and
corporate investors will be allocated equal amounts of Tax Credits.

Property Discussions

Prior to the transfer of the Texas Partnerships,  Limited Partnership  interests
had been acquired in sixty-nine Local Limited Partnerships which own and operate
rental properties in twenty-four states.  Forty-two of the properties,  totaling
3,935 units,  were  rehabilitated,  and twenty-seven  properties,  consisting of
1,614  units,  were newly  constructed.  All of the  properties  have  completed
construction  or  rehabilitation  and initial  lease-up.  Many of the  remaining
fifty-five Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested have
stable operations and are operating satisfactorily.

Several properties are experiencing  operating  difficulties and generating cash
flow  deficits  due to a variety of reasons.  In most cases,  the Local  General
Partners of these  properties are funding the deficits  through  project expense
loans and  subordinated  loans or payments from escrows.  In instances where the
Local General Partners'  obligations to fund deficits have expired or otherwise,
the  Managing  General  Partner is  working  with the Local  General  Partner to
increase  operating  income,  reduce  expenses  or  refinance  the debt at lower
interest rates.

Boulevard  Commons  IIA,  located in Chicago,  Illinois,  has been  experiencing
operating deficits.  Expenses have been increasing due to increasing maintenance
and capital needs, security issues and high turnover at the property.  The Local
General  Partner is  requesting  that the  Managing  General  Partner  assist in
funding  capital  improvements.  The Managing  General Partner is reviewing this
request and has requested that the Local General  Partner provide a workout plan
detailing  where and how these funds will be used.  In  addition,  the  Managing
General  Partner is working with the Local General  Partner to  restructure  the
current  debt.  Negotiations  between  the  Managing  General  Partner and Local
General Partner are ongoing.

As previously  reported,  Harbour View,  located in Staten Island, New York, had
defaulted on its HUD-insured loan. Subsequently, the lender assigned the loan to
HUD.  In  December  1996,  the  property's  mortgage  was sold at  auction to an
unaffiliated institutional buyer. The Managing General Partner and Local General
Partner  continue  to  participate  in  discussions  with  the new  lender.  The
Partnership's  ability to retain its interest in the property will depend on the
ability of the Local General  Partner or Partnership  affiliates to purchase the
mortgage or negotiate a satisfactory  workout agreement with the new lender. The
Partnership's carrying value of this investment for financial reporting purposes
is zero. Occupancy for this property as of 12/31/97 was 99%.

A  refinancing  application  was  submitted  for Kyle Hotel,  located in Temple,
Texas,  in December 1997. The potential  lender needs to approve  several issues
before the application  will be approved.  The Managing  General Partner will be
monitoring progress.

As previously reported, operations had been improving at Pleasant Plaza, located
in Malden, Massachusetts,  as a result of the 1995 SHARP subsidy restructuring.
The SHARP mortgage  subsidy has been an important part of the property's  annual
income.  However,  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  joined a group of interested  parties and is working
with MHFA to find a solution to the  problems that will occur as a result of
withdrawn subsidies.  Given the dependence on the mortgage  subsidy,  it is
possible that the  property will default on its  mortgage  obligation.  It is
possible that fund  reserves will be used to support the property  until these
issues can be resolved.  The Local General Partner is in  negotiations  with the
MHFA to fund debt service deficits that had been covered by the SHARP  mortgage
subsidies and avoid a default  on its  mortgage.  The  Local  General  Partner
believes it will cover the SHARP subsidy gap by  increasing  rents and some cost
containments.  In the meantime,  the Local General Partner has negotiated a 1998
budget with the MHFA. However, further negotiations to resolve these issues with
the MHFA are expected in the first half of 1998. As we previously reported,  the
Local General Partner was seeking bankruptcy protection. His reorganization plan
was approved in September  1997.  The plan will not materially  affect  property
operations or the Local General Partner's interest in the Partnership.

Another  property  affected by the  withdrawal  of the SHARP  subsidies is South
Holyoke,  located  in  Holyoke,  Massachusetts.  As  previously  reported,  this
property  continues to experience  occupancy  problems  resulting from increased
market competition and local economic conditions. The management agent, which is
currently  funding the deficits,  is trying to address these problems  through a
combination of increased  advertising,  community  outreach and tighter  expense
monitoring.

Waterfront and Shoreline,  both located in Buffalo,  New York,  continue to have
operating deficits as a result of a soft rental market, deferred maintenance and
security issues. As previously reported,  the Managing General Partner and Local
General Partner have successfully negotiated a Drug Elimination Grant (NOFA) for
Shoreline.  The grant  should be funded  during 1998 and will be used to support
drug  prevention,  educational  programs and increase  security on the property.
Waterfront was turned down for the NOFA grant,  however,  they will reapply next
year. For both  Waterfront and Shoreline,  the Management  Agent has applied for
consideration  for a Project  Improvement  Program  (PIP) and applied for a Safe
Neighborhood  Grant.  At this  point,  deficits  continue  to be  funded  by the
management agent. As noted previously,  the viability of the properties  depends
upon funding  deficits until receipt of the grants.  Both  properties  currently
carry cash flow mortgages with New York State.  The Managing  General Partner is
closely monitoring operations.  

As previously reported, Breckenridge Creste. located in Duluth, Georgia has been
operating below breakeven as a result of increased vacancy, a weak rental market
and deferred maintenance issues.  A capital improvement plan has been 
implemented to improve curb appeal of the property.  The capital improvements 
completed to date include exterior painting, exterior wood trim replacement,
landscaping, laundry room decorating and improvements, pool repairs, gutter
installation, interior unit rehab, carpet, vinyl floor and appliance re-
placements.  A special reserve account was set up at the property level to hold 
funds for capital improvements and operating deficits.  Expenditures from these 
funds are carefully monitored by property management and the Managing General
Partner.

Willow Lake,  located in Kansas, is experiencing  operating  difficulties due to
soft rental market  conditions.  As previously  reported,  The Managing  General
Partner had negotiated a workout in 1994. The two year extension to this workout
will expire on June 30, 1998 and a new three year extension has been negotiated 
and will expire on May 31, 2001.  The Managing  General  Partner is working with
the Local General Partner to negotiate  permanent debt service relief,  increase
rents and monitor property expenses.

As previously  reported,  the Managing  General  Partner  transferred all of the
assets of five of the  Texas  Partnerships,  subject  to their  liabilities,  to
unaffiliated entities in 1996. In 1997, The Managing General Partner transferred
all of the  assets of seven  more of the Texas  Partnerships,  subject  to their
liabilities, to unaffiliated entities. Negotiations between the Managing General
Partner, the Lender and prospective buyer for the remaining property, Willowick,
are  continuing  and a transfer is expected in early July 1998. In the meantime,
operating  deficits  continue to be funded from  Partnership  Reserves.  For tax
purposes, these events will result in both Section 1231 gain and cancellation of
indebtedness  income.  In addition,  the transfer of ownership  will result in a
nominal  amount of  recapture  of tax  credits  because  the Texas  Partnerships
represent only 2% of the Partnership's tax credits.

As previously discussed, the titles to both Regency and Rolling Hills in Dayton,
Ohio were  transferred  to the bank on May 2,  1997  after  prolonged  operating
difficulties  resulting from low occupancy,  capital  rehabilitation needs and a
depressed local economy.  The Local General Partner and Managing General Partner
were  involved in lengthy  workout  negotiations  with HUD, but  ultimately  the
mortgages  for  these  properties  were  sold to a bank  in  HUD's  August  1996
non-performing loan auction. Although negotiations continued with the bank in an
attempt to prevent foreclosure, a workout was not achieved, and the foreclosures
occurred.  This  transfer of title  resulted in a recapture  tax in 1997 and the
allocation of taxable income which was reported on the investors' 1997 K-1.

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 current value is compared to the fair value and if there is a
significant  impairment  in value,  a provision  to write down the asset to fair
value will be charged against income.

Inflation and Other Economic Factors

Inflation  had no material  impact on the  Partnerships  operations or financial
condition for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

As some  Properties  benefit  from  some  form  of  government  assistance,  the
Partnership is subject to the risks  inherent in that area  including  decreased
subsidies, difficulties in finding suitable tenants and obtaining permission for
rent increases. In addition, the Tax Credits allocated to investors with respect
to a Property  are  subject to  recapture  to the extent  that a Property or any
portion thereof ceases to qualify for Tax Credits.

Some of the properties listed in this report are located in areas suffering from
poor economic  conditions.  Such conditions  could have an adverse effect on the
rent or occupancy levels at such Properties.  Nevertheless, the Managing General
Partner  believes that the  generally  high demand for below market rate housing
will tend to negate such  factors.  However,  no assurance  can be given in this
regard.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners of
Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. III
(A Limited Partnership):

We have  audited  the  combined  balance  sheets of Boston  Financial  Qualified
Housing Tax Credits L.P. III (A Limited Partnership) ("BFQHIII") as of March 31,
1998 and 1997 and the related  combined  statements  of  operations,  changes in
partners' equity, and cash flows and the financial  statement schedule listed in
Item 14(a) of this  Report on Form 10-K, for the each of the three  years in the
period ended March 31, 1998. These financial  statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of BFQHIII's  management.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these  financial  statements  and  financial  statement
schedules  based on our audits.  As of March 31, 1998 and 1997,  82% and 72% of
total assets, and for the years ended March 31, 1998,  1997  and  1996,  100%,  
53%  and 88% of  net  loss, reflected in the combined financial statements of 
BFQHIII, relate to Local  Limited  Partnerships  for which we did not audit the
financial   statements.   The  financial   statements  of  these  Local  Limited
Partnerships were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to
us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to those investments in Local Limited
Partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements.  An
audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles  used and  significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.  We believe  that our  audits and the  reports of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  based on our audits and the  reports  of other  auditors,  the
combined financial  statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects,  the financial position of BFQHIII as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the results of its  operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended March 31, 1998, in conformity  with  generally  accepted  
accounting principles.  In addition, in our opinion the financial statement  
schedule referred to above,  when considered in relation to the basic combined  
financial statements taken as a whole,  presents  fairly,  in all material  
respects,  the information required to be included therein.

                   Notes to the Combined Financial Statements

1.   Organization

Boston Financial  Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. III (the "Partnership") was
formed on August 9, 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware for the primary
purpose  of  investing,  as a limited  partner,  in other  limited  partnerships
("Local  Limited  Partnerships"),  most  of  which  own  and  operate  apartment
complexes,  most of which  benefit  from  some form of  federal,  state or local
assistance program and each of which qualify for low-income housing tax credits.
The  Partnership's  objectives  are to: (i) provide  current tax benefits in the
form of tax credits  which  qualified  investors may use to offset their federal
income tax liability;  ii) preserve and protect the Partnership's  capital; iii)
provide limited cash distributions  which are not expected to constitute taxable
income during  Partnership  operations;  and iv) provide cash distributions from
sale or refinancing  transactions.  The General  Partners of the Partnership are
Arch Street III, Inc., which serves as the Managing  General  Partner,  and Arch
Street III L.P., which also serves as the Initial Limited  Partner.  Both of the
General   Partners  are  affiliates  of  The  Boston   Financial  Group  Limited
Partnership  ("Boston  Financial").  The fiscal year of the Partnership  ends on
March 31.

The Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership  ("Partnership  Agreement")
authorized  the sale of up to  100,000  units of  Limited  Partnership  Interest
("Units") at $1,000 per Unit,  adjusted for certain  discounts.  The Partnership
raised $99,610,000 ("Gross Proceeds"), net of discounts of $390,000, through the
sale of 100,000 Units. Such amounts exclude five  unregistered  Units previously
acquired  for $5,000 by the Initial  Limited  Partner,  which is also one of the
General  Partners.  The offering of Units terminated on May 30, 1989. No further
sale of Units is expected.

Generally,  profits,  losses,  tax  credits  and cash flow from  operations  are
allocated  99% to the  Limited  Partners  and 1% to the  General  Partners.  Net
proceeds  from a sale  or  refinancing  will  be  allocated  95% to the  Limited
Partners and 5% to the General Partners, after certain priority payments.

Under  the  terms  of  the  Partnership  Agreement,  the  Partnership  initially
designated  3% of the Gross  Proceeds  from the sale of Units as a  reserve  for
working  capital of the Partnership  and  contingencies  related to ownership of
Local Limited Partnership  interests.  During the year ended March 31, 1993, the
Managing  General  Partner  decided to increase the reserve  level to 3.75%.  At
March 31,  1998,  the  Managing  General  Partner has  designated  approximately
$398,000 of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as such Reserve.


2.   Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Combination

The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local Limited Partnerships, with
the exception of the Combined  Entities,  using the equity method of accounting,
because the Partnership  does not have a majority control of the major operating
and financial  policies of the Local Limited  Partnerships  in which it invests.
Under the equity  method,  the  investment is carried at cost,  adjusted for the
Partnership's  share  of  income  or loss  of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships,
additional   investments   and  cash   distributions   from  the  Local  Limited
Partnerships.  Equity in income or loss of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  is
included  currently in the  Partnership's  operations.  The  Partnership  has no
obligation  to fund  liabilities  of the Local Limited  Partnerships  beyond its
investment,  therefore,  a Local Limited  Partnership's  investment  will not be
carried  below zero.  To the extent that equity losses are incurred when a Local
Limited  Partnership's  respective  investment balance has been reduced to zero,
the losses will be  suspended to be used against  future  income.  Distributions
received from Local Limited  Partnerships whose respective  investment value has
been reduced to zero are included in income. For the years ended March 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership  did not recognize  $4,878,906,  $5,206,584 and
$5,122,569,   respectively,   of  equity   losses   relating  to  Local  Limited
Partnerships whose cumulative equity in losses and distributions  exceeded their
total investments.

             Notes to the Combined Financial Statements (continued)

2.   Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Excess investment costs over the underlying net assets acquired have arisen from
acquisition   fees  paid  and  expenses   reimbursed  to  an  affiliate  of  the
Partnership.   These  fees  and  expenses  are  included  in  the  Partnership's
Investment  in  Local  Limited   Partnerships  and  are  being  amortized  on  a
straight-line basis over 35 years.

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

The  Partnership,  as a limited  partner in the Local Limited  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 of facilities and continued
eligibility  of tax  credits.  If the cost of  operating a property  exceeds the
rental income earned  thereon,  the Partnership may deem it in its best interest
to voluntarily provide funds in order to protect its investment.

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
of the Local Limited Partnerships that is included in the accompanying  combined
financial statements is as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

On August 26, 1992, an affiliate of the Partnership's  Managing General Partner,
BF Harbour  View,  Inc.,  became the Local  General  Partner of 241 Pine  Street
Associates,  L.P. ("241 Pine Street"),  a Local Limited Partnership in which the
Partnership has invested. Since the Local General Partner of 241 Pine Street has
a controlling  financial interest in the Partnership,  as set forth in paragraph
22 of ARB 51, these combined financial statements include the detailed financial
activity of 241 Pine  Street for the years ended  December  31,  1995,  1996 and
1997.  All  significant   intercompany   balances  and  transactions  have  been
eliminated.

On April 2, 1993, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner,  BF Willow Lake,
Inc., became the Local General Partner of Willow Lake Partners II, L.P. ("Willow
Lake"). BF Willow Lake, Inc. replaced the previous  management agent with Boston
Financial  Property  Management,  an affiliate of the Managing  General Partner.
Since the Local  General  Partner  of Willow  Lake has a  controlling  financial
interest  in the  Partnership,  as set forth in  paragraph  22 of ARB 51,  these
combined financial  statements include the financial activity of Willow Lake for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997. All  significant  intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.

On October 6, 1993, an affiliate of the Partnership's  Managing General Partner,
BF Texas  Limited  Partnership,  became  an  additional  Local  General  Partner
responsible for all management  decisions in thirteen Local Limited Partnerships
(the "Texas  Partnerships")  in which the  Partnership  has invested.  Since the
Local General  Partner of the Texas  Partnerships  had a  controlling  financial
interest  in the  Partnership,  as set forth in  paragraph  22 of ARB 51,  these
combined  financial  statements include the financial activity of thirteen Texas
Partnerships for the years ended March 31, 1994 and 1995.  During the year ended
March 31, 1996,  control of six of these Texas  Partnerships were transferred to
unrelated  parties,  and as  such,  as of that  date,  these  partnerships  were
accounted  for on the equity  method (see Note 10).  During the year ended March
31, 1997, the Managing General Partner transferred all of the assets of five out
of these six Texas  Partnerships  subject to their  liabilities to  unaffiliated
entities.  Therefore,  as of March 31, 1997, one Texas Partnership was accounted
for on the equity method and the combined financial statements included detailed
financial  activity of seven Texas  Partnerships for the year ended December 31,
1996.  During  the year ended  March 31,  1998,  the  Managing  General  Partner
transferred  all of the  assets  of seven of the  remaining  Texas  Partnerships
subject  to their  liabilities  to  unaffiliated  entities,  six of  which  were
combined in prior years, one of which had been previously  carried at the equity
method.  Therefore as of March 31, 1998,  these  combined  financial  statements
included the detailed financial activity of one Texas Partnership, Willowick,for
the year ended  December 31, 1997.  All  significant  intercompany  balances and
transactions have been eliminated.

On September 29, 1995, an affiliate of the Managing  General  Partner,  BF Texas
Limited  Partnership,  became  the Local  General  Partner  responsible  for all
management  decisions in The  Temple-Kyle  L.P.  ("The  Kyle").  Since the Local
General  Partner  of  The  Kyle  has a  controlling  financial  interest  in the
Partnership,  (as set forth in paragraph 22 of ARB 51), these combined financial
statements  include the detailed  financial  activity of The Kyle for the period
from October 1, 1995 through  December 31, 1995 and for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1997. All significant  intercompany  balances and transactions have
been eliminated.

On August 20,  1996,  an  affiliate  of the  Managing  General  Partner,  Boston
Financial GP-1,  L.L.C.,  became the Local General  Partner  responsible for all
management  decisions in Breckenridge  Creste  Apartments,  L.P.  ("Breckenridge
Creste").  Since  the  Local  General  Partner  of  Breckenridge  Creste  has  a
controlling financial interest in the Partnership, (as set forth in paragraph 22
of ARB 51), these combined  financial  statements include the detailed financial
activity of  Breckenridge  Creste for the period from  September 1, 1996 through
December 31, 1996,  and for the year ended  December 31, 1997.  All  significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The  Partnership  has elected to report the results of 241 Pine  Street,  Willow
Lake,  The Kyle,  Breckenridge  Creste  and  Willowick  on a 90-day  lag  basis,
consistent  with the  presentation  of the  financial  information  of all Local
Limited Partnerships. As used herein, the "Combined Entities" refers to 241 Pine
Street, Willow Lake, The Kyle, Breckenridge Creste and Willowick.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents  consist of short-term money market instruments with maturities
when purchased of ninety days or less.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist primarily of U.S. Treasury instruments and various
asset-backed  investment vehicles.  The Partnership's  marketable securities are
classified  as  "Available  for Sale"  securities  and reported at fair value as
reported by the brokerage  firm at which the securities are held. All marketable
securities  have fixed  maturities.  Realized gains and losses from the sales of
securities are based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and
losses are  excluded  from  earnings  and  reported as a separate  component  of
partners' equity.

Effect of recently issued Accounting Standard


The Financial  Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.  The standard
requires that changes in comprehensive  income be shown in a financial statement
that is displayed with the same  prominence as other financial  statements.  The
standard is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1997. The
Partnership  will adopt the new standard  beginning in the first  quarter of the
fiscal year ending March 31, 1999,  but it is not expected to have a significant
effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

Rental Property

Real estate and  personal  property of the  Combined  Entities  are  recorded in
accordance with SFAS 121. The Combined  Entities provide for depreciation  using
primarily the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

             Notes to the Combined Financial Statements (continued)


2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Deferred Expenses

Willow Lake's deferred financing fees are amortized over 180 months, the term of
the related debt, using the straight-line method.

Breckenridge's permanent loan costs are amortized over 10 years, the term of the
related debt, using the straight-line method.

Breckenridge's  compliance  monitoring  fees are  amortized  over the  remaining
12-year term of the tax credit compliance period.

Rental Income

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosures  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statements  of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  No.  107  ("SFAS  No.  107"),
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial  Instruments,  requires disclosure for
the fair value of most on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments for which
it is  practicable  to estimate  that value.  The scope of SFAS No. 107 excludes
certain  financial  instruments,  such as trade receivable and payables when the
carrying value  approximates the fair value and investments  accounted for under
the equity method, and all nonfinancial  assets,  such as real property.  Unless
otherwise described, the fair values of the Partnership's assets and liabilities
which  qualify as financial  instruments  under SFAS No. 107  approximate  their
carrying amounts in the accompanying balance sheets.

Income Taxes

No provision  for income taxes has been made as the  liability for such taxes is
the obligation of the partners of the Partnership.

Reclassifications

Certain  reclassifications  have been made to prior year financial statements to
conform to the current year presentation.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual  maturities because some borrowers

4.   Investments in Local Limited Partnerships

The  Partnership  uses the equity  method to  account  for its  limited  partner
interests in  fifty-five  Local  Limited  Partnerships  (excluding  the Combined
Entities) which own and operate  multi-family  housing complexes,  most 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 generally acquired a 99% interest
in the profits,  losses,  tax credits and cash flows from  operations of each of
the Local  Limited  Partnerships,  except for  Granite,  Colony  Apartments  and
Harbour View, where the Partnership's ownership interest is 97%, 49% and 48.96%,
respectively.  Upon dissolution,  proceeds will be distributed according to each
respective partnership agreement.

in losses  and  distributions  exceeded  its total  investments  in these  Local
Limited Partnerships.

             Notes to the Combined Financial Statements (continued)

7.   Mortgage Notes Payable

Willow Lake

The original  mortgage  note  payable  consists of a 9.25% per annum note due in
monthly principal and interest installments of $22,878,  maturing on February 1,
2005. The original loan is  collateralized by a first deed of trust covering all
real and  personal  property.  The loan is also  collateralized  by an operating
deficit escrow of $58,387 provided by the Local General Partners as security for
the lender in the event of certain defaults under the mortgage loan agreement.

At December 31, 1993,  Willow Lake was in default of its  principal and interest
payments due under the mortgage agreement;  however,  the lender and Willow Lake
executed a workout  commitment  letter in June of 1993  designed  to address the
default.  On February 17, 1994, the parties closed the final workout  agreement.
The terms of the workout  agreement  which were effective June 1, 1993 include a
reduction  in the  interest  rate  payable to 7.25% for the period from June 1,
1993 through May 1, 1995 and a reduction in the interest rate payable to 8.25%
plus 95% of all net cash  flows,  as defined by the workout  agreement,  for the
period from June 1, 1995 through May 1, 1996.  Willow Lake  resumed  payments at
the original contract rate of 9.25%.  Under the terms of the workout  agreement,
the difference in the interest  payments at the original  contract rate of 9.25%
and the reduced payment rates required over the term of the workout period shall
be  payable  beginning  with  the  expiration  of the  workout  period  over the
remaining  term of the note.  The two year extension to this workout will expire
on June 30,  1998 and  there  are  negotiations  for an  additional  three  year
workout.

All delinquent  amounts under the original  mortgage were paid by Willow Lake on
February 17, 1994 upon closing of the final workout agreement. The delinquencies
were paid out of funds released from an escrow  deposit of $244,000,  which have
been held by an escrow agent pursuant to an operating  reserve escrow  agreement
requiring  deposits  be made to fund  certain  of the  obligations  of the Local
General  Partners  under Willow  Lake's  partnership  agreement,  including  the
payment of operating deficits.

Principal  payments  required under the above mortgage note which has a balance 
at December 31, 1997 and 1996 of $2,723,285 and $2,744,825,  respectively,  for
each of the next five years are as follows:

</TABLE>

The  terms of the  mortgage  note  and  other  contract  documents  require  the
establishment of restricted deposits and funded reserves to be held and invested
by the mortgagee. These financial instruments potentially subject Willow Lake to
a concentration of credit risk. Due to the  unavailability  of similar loans and
unique terms of the workout agreement, it is not practicable to determine the 
fair value of this note at March 31, 1998.

Texas Partnerships

The Texas  Partnerships  and RECD have entered into  Interest  Credit and Rental
Assistance Agreements that have stated interest rates ranging from 9.5% to 7.25%
and provide for an  effective  interest  rate on the notes  payable to FmHA of 1
percent, plus all rental income over basic rents as determined by the government
(overages)   with   maturities   ranging  from  2016  to  2030.  All  notes  are
collateralized by the respective properties. The principal balances of the Texas
Partnerships'  mortgages  at  December  31,  1997 and 1996  are  $1,150,688  and
$4,189,947,  respectively.  The  decrease is due to the transfer of seven of the
Texas  Partnerships in the year ended March 31, 1998. The Willowick  mortgage is
currently in default and, as a result, the entire balance is being accounted for
as current. Due to the unavailability of similar loans, it is not practicable to
determine the fair value of these notes at March 31, 1997.

$17,600,  including  interest  at prime plus 1%,  from July 1, 1997  through its
maturity  date on June 1, 2005.  The note is  collateralized  by the  respective
property.  $1,406,251  and $1,423,253 is outstanding as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The current value of this note approximates its fair value.

Breckenridge

Breckenridge's  mortgage note payable  consists of a 9.60% per annum note due in
monthly principal and interest installments of $42,408,  maturing on November 1,
2006. The liability of the partnership under the mortgage note is limited to the
underlying value of the real estate collateral plus other amounts deposited with
the  lender.  Principal  payments  required  under the above  note,  which has a
balance  at  December  31,  1997  and  1996  of   $4,762,502   and   $4,811,607,
respectively, for each of the next five years are as follows:

</TABLE>

Breckenridge's  second note  payable  bears no interest and is payable in annual
installments of $2,679 until April 15, 1999. The outstanding balance at December
31, 1997 and 1996 is $5,357 and $8,036, respectively.

Due to the  unavailability  of similar loans and lack of adequate refinancing 
information, it is not practicable to determine the fair value of this note at 
March 31, 1998.

8.   Due to affiliate

Under the terms of 241 Pine Street's development agreement, the Developer agreed
to  advance  to the  property  such  funds  as may be  required  to pay  certain
operating  expenses.  Any funds so advanced  are to be repaid by 241 Pine Street
upon sale or  refinancing  of the  property.  The  amount  due to  affiliate  at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 represents the net amount advanced to 241 Pine Street
under this  agreement.  In  connection  with these events the  Original  General
Partner, who was also the Developer, was replaced by an affiliated entity of the
Partnership . Therefore,  the amount previously reported as due to developer has
been  reclassified as a due to affiliate.  Due to the  unavailability of similar
loans,  it is not  practicable to determine the fair value of this note at March
31, 1998.

9.   General partner advances

Prior to 1995,  Willow  Lake  incurred  debt of  $662,306  payable to the former
general partners and their affiliates for developer fees,  Partnership  advances
and management fees. As a result of the settlement of litigation in 1995, Willow
Lake agreed to pay  $173,500  and issued two  promissory  notes in the amount of
$100,000 each.  Both notes have an annual interest rate of 6% and are payable in
full,  both as to accrued  interest and principal on January 1, 2005.  Principal
and  interest on these notes are due and payable out of cash flow which began in
June,  1996. If, in the event Willow Lake is unable to make a cash flow payment,
the  Partnership has guaranteed one note. The guarantee of the Partnership is an
interest  payment of $500 per month.  The Partnership paid $6,000 and $5,000 for
interest  during the years  ended  March 31,  1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The
remaining debt ($288,806) was forgiven.

10.  Liquidation of Interests in Local Limited Partnerships

As previously  reported,  the Managing  General  Partner  transferred all of the
assets of twelve of the Texas  Partnerships  subject  to their  liabilities,  to
unaffiliated entities. Crown Point, Godley Arms, Glenbrook Apartments, Quail Run
Apartments and Sherwood Arms Housing were  transferred  prior to March 31, 1997.
Lone Oak Apartments,  Hallet West Apartments and Lakeway Colony were transferred
on August 6, 1997,  September  23,  1997 and  October  30,  1997,  respectively.
Crestwood  Place,  Eagle  Nest  Apartments,  One  Main  Place  and  Pilot  Point
Apartments  were  transferred on October 28, 1997. If  negotiations  continue as
expected,  transfer of the remaining property will occur during early July 1998.
This property, with a carrying value of $774,053 at year end, incurred a loss of
$127,794 in 1997.  Until the property is transferred,operating deficits will 
continue to be funded from  Partnership Reserves.  For tax purposes,  these 
events will result in both Section 1231 gain and cancellation of indebtedness 
income. In addition,  the transfer of ownership will result in a nominal  amount
of recapture  of tax credits  because the Texas Partnerships represent only 2%
of the Partnership's tax credits.

For financial  reporting  purposes,  loss on  liquidation  of interests in Local
Limited  Partnerships  of $18,251  and  extraordinary  gain on  cancellation  of
indebtedness of $1,868,051 were recognized in the year ended March 31, 1998 as a
result of the transfer of Lone Oak Apartments,  Hallet West Apartments,  Lakeway
Colony,  Crestwood Place, Eagle Nest Apartments,  One Main Place and Pilot Point
Apartments.

As previously discussed, the titles to both Regency and Rolling Hills in Dayton,
Ohio were  transferred  to the lender on May 2, 1997 after  prolonged  operating
difficulties  resulting from low occupancy,  capital  rehabilitation needs and a
depressed local economy.  The Local General Partner and Managing General Partner
were  involved in lengthy  workout  negotiations  with HUD, but  ultimately  the
mortgages  for  these  properties  were sold to a lender  in HUD's  August  1996
non-performing loan auction.  Although negotiations continued with the lender in
an  attempt  to  prevent  foreclosure,  a  workout  was  not  achieved,  and the
foreclosures  occurred.  This  transfer of title  resulted in a recapture tax in
1997 and the  allocation of taxable  income which was reported on the investors'
1997 tax  return  (filed in 1998).  The  Partnership's  carrying  value of these
investments for financial reporting purposes was zero;  therefore,  the transfer
had no impact on the Partnership's operating results.

11.    Litigation

Lone Oak Housing Associates, Ltd., as was previously reported, was the defendant
in a lawsuit in which the plaintiff had alleged  negligence and deceptive  Trade
Act violations.  This  litigation has been settled by the insurance  carrier and
the case dismissed.

Willow Lake  Partners  II, L.P.  ("Willow  Lake") is the  defendant in a lawsuit
relating  to  an  earlier  lawsuit   involving  Willow  Lake.  As  part  of  the
Partnership's  settlement with the former management agent, Willow Lake gave the
management  agent  two cash  flow  notes.  The  former  management  agent is now
claiming  that Willow Lake has cash flow (so  payments  should have been made on
the notes) and it is the  Partnership's  position that the property is running a
deficit.  On June 25, 1998, the court found for Willow Lake on summary judgement
and ruled that there has been no default on the note.  This litigation is no 
longer outstanding unless the former management agent decides to appeal.  


12.  Extraordinary Item

For the year ended March 31, 1996,  the  Partnership  recognized  $1,279,618  of
cancellation of indebtedness  income attributable to three combined entities who
had restructured  their debt. For the year ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership
recognized  $51,595  of loss  which was an  adjustment  to the  cancellation  of
indebtedness income in the previous year. For the year ended March 31, 1998, the
Partnership recognized $1,868,051 of cancellation of indebtedness income.

from Local  Limited  Partnerships,  including  the  Combined  Entities,  for tax
reporting  purposes is  approximately  $27,716,000  greater  than for  financial
reporting   purposes,   including   approximately   $25,919,000  of  losses  the

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Partners of                                   HUD Field Office Director
DIVERSEY SQUARE ASSOCIATES II                         Chicago, Illinois
Chicago, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DIVERSEY SQUARE ASSOCIATES II
(An Illinois Limited  Partnership),  Project No.  071-35573,  as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the related  statements of profit and loss,  partners' equity
and cash flows for the years then  ended.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and generally accepted Government Auditing Standards,  issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States.  Those standards  require that we plan and perform
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles  used and  significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of DIVERSEY SQUARE ASSOCIATES II as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years  then  ended in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.


In accordance with the Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued 
reports dated January 30, 1998 on compliance with specific requirements  
applicable to major  HUD  programs, compliance with specific requirements  
applicable  to Affirmative Fair Housing, our consideration of the internal 
control  structure and on compliance with laws and regulations.

The  supporting  data  included in this  report  shown on pages 19 through 25 is
presented for purposes of additional  analysis and is not a required part of the
basic  financial  statements.  Such  information  has been subjected to the same
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements,  and
in our opinion, are presented fairly in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

years then ended.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the
partnership's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and  Government  Auditing  Standards  issued by the  Comptroller  General of the
United  States.  Those  standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  Eaglewood  VIII LP (A Limited
Partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash  flows  for the  years  then  ended in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits  were for the  purpose  of forming an opinion on the basic  financial
statements taken as a whole.  The  supplementary  information,  as listed in the
table of contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required  part of the basic  financial  statements.  Such  information  has been
subjected  to the same  auditing  procedures  applied  in the audit of the basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

In accordance with Government Auditing  Standards,  we have also issued a report
dated  February  11,  1997 on our  consideration  of the  limited  partnership's
internal control structure and a report dated February 9, 1996 on its compliance
with laws and regulations

United  States.  Those  standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of Columbia Townhouse  Associates
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the results of its operations,  changes in partners' capital (deficit)
and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

In accordance  with Government  Auditing  Standards and the  Consolidated  Audit
Guide for Audits of HUD Programs  issued by the U.S.  Department  of Housing and
Urban  Development,  we have also issued a report dated January 31, 1998, on our
consideration of the Partnership's internal control structure and reports, dated
January 31, 1998, on its  compliance  with specific  requirements  applicable to
major HUD Programs and specific  requirements  applicable  to  Affirmative  Fair
Housing.

As discussed in Note A, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the
financial  statements,  the Partnership has incurred  substantial  losses before
depreciation for each of the passed two years.  The financial  statements do not
include any adjustments  relating to the  recoverability  and  classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts of  classifications of liabilities that might be
necessary in the event the Partnership cannot continue in existence.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental information
(shown in Section II) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is
not a required  part of the basic  financial  statements  of Columbia  Townhouse
Associates Limited Partnership.  Such information has been subjected to the same
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are presented fairly in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Partnership's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally  accepted auditing standards

also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the 1997 financial statements referred to above present fairly,

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Partnership  will  continue as a going  concern.  As  discussed in Note 6 to the
financial statements, the Partnership has experienced recurring operating losses
and working capital  deficiencies that raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters are
also  described  in  Note  8.  The  financial  statements  do  not  include  any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In accordance with Government Auditing  Standards,  we have also issued a report
dated January 30, 1998 on our consideration of Waterfront Limited  Partnership's

the  year  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.

Our audit was conducted for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in
this report is  presented  for the purpose of  additional  analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial  statements of Quarter Mill Associates L.P.
Such  information has been subjected to the auditing  procedures  applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

In accordance with Government Auditing  Standards,  we have also issued a report
dated January 30, 1996,  on our consideration of the  Partnership's internal
control structure,  a report dated January  30, 1996 on its compliance  with
specific requirements applicable  to its major  Housing and Urban Development
program  and a report dated January  30,  1996 on compliance with specific
requirements applicable to affirmative fair housing.

To the Partners
Harbour View Associates

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Harbour View Associates as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations,  partners'
deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial  statements are
the  responsibility of the Partnership's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As more fully described in Note C to the financial  statements,  the Partnership
has not  recorded  certain  accrued  interest  on the  mortgage  payable  in the
accompanying  financial  statements which, in our opinion,  should be accrued in
order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles. If this interest
were  recorded,  accrued  interest  payable  would be increase  by $122,803  and
partners'  deficit  would be  increased  by $122,803 as of December 31, 1997 and
1996.

In our  opinion,  except for the  effects of not  accruing
certain  interest on the mortgage as discussed in the preceding  paragraph,  the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position Harbour View Associates as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the results of its operations, the changes in partners' deficit and its cash
flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.

<PAGE>

The  accompanying   financial   statements  have  been  prepared   assuming  the
Partnership  will  continue as a going  concern.  As  discussed in Note B to the
financial  statements,  the  Partnership  is in default of its  mortgage  due to
substantial  losses from operations and the unauthorized  withdrawal of funds by
the  former  managing  general  partner  and the  former  managing  agent of the
Partnership's   property.   These  events  raise  substantial  doubt  about  the
Partnership's  ability to  continue as a going  concern.  The  Management'  plan
regarding this matter is also  described in Note B. The financial  statements do
not  include  any  adjustments  that  might  result  from  the  outcome  of this
uncertainty.
