                   NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


The  unaudited  financial  statements  presented  herein  have been  prepared in
accordance  with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q and do not  include  all of the
information  and note  disclosures  required by  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  These  statements  should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included with the  Partnership's  10-K for the year
ended March 31, 1998. In the opinion of management,  these financial  statements
include  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of  normal  recurring  adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the Partnership's  financial position and results of
operations.  The results of operations  for the periods may not be indicative of
the results to be expected for the year.

The  General  Partners  have  elected  to report  results  of the Local  Limited
Partnerships  on a 90 day lag  basis,  because  the Local  Limited  Partnerships
report  their  results on a calendar  year  basis.  Accordingly,  the  financial
information  about the Local Limited  Partnerships  included in the accompanying
combined financial statements is as of March 31, 1998 and 1997.

1.   Investments in Local Limited Partnerships

The Partnership has acquired interests in twenty-six Local Limited Partnerships,
excluding Burbank, 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,  has generally
acquired a 99% interest in the profits,  losses, tax credits and cash flows from
operations  of each of the Local  Limited  Partnerships  with the  exception  of
Strathern Park/Lorne Park Apartments and Huguenot Park, which are 95% and 88.6%,
respectively.  Upon dissolution,  proceeds will be distributed according to each
respective partnership agreement.

The  following  is a  summary  of  Investments  in Local  Limited  Partnerships,
excluding Burbank, at June 30, 1998:

The  Partnership's  share of the net losses of the Local Limited  Partnership's,

The Financial  Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive  Income. The Partnership

standard  had no effect on the  Partnership's  net income or  partner's  equity.

1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Comprehensive  loss  includes  the  change in net
unrealized  gains and  losses on  marketable  securities  available  for sale of

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June  30,  1998,  the  Partnership  (including  Burbank)  had  cash  and cash
equivalents  of  $263,920,  as compared  with  $239,932 at March 31,  1998.  The
increase is primarily  attributable  to cash  distributions  received from Local
Limited  Partnerships.   The  increase  is  partially  offset  by  purchases  of
marketable  securities  in excess of  proceeds  from  sales  and  maturities  of
marketable securities and cash used for operating activities.

Approximately  $2,732,000  of  marketable  securities  has  been  designated  as
Reserves by the Managing  General  Partner.  The Reserves were established to be
used for working  capital of the Partnership  and  contingencies  related to the
ownership of Local Limited Partnership  interests.  Management believes that the
investment income earned on the Reserves, along with cash distributions received
from Local Limited  Partnerships,  will be sufficient to fund the  Partnership's
ongoing operations and any contingencies that may arise. Reserves may be used to
fund Local  Limited  Partnership  operating  deficits  if the  Managing  General
Partner deems such funding appropriate.

Since the  Partnership  invests as a limited  partner,  the  Partnership  has no
contractual  duty to  provide  additional  funds to Local  Limited  Partnerships
beyond its specified investment.  Thus, at June 30, 1998, the Partnership had no
contractual or other obligation to any Local Limited  Partnership  which had not
been paid or provided for.

In the  event a Local  Limited  Partnership  encounters  operating  difficulties
requiring  additional  funds, the Partnership might deem it in its best interest
to provide such funds, voluntarily,  in order to protect its investment. No such
event has occurred to date.

Cash Distributions

No cash distributions were made during the three months ended June 30, 1998.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998
resulted in a net loss of $893,230,  as compared to a net loss of $1,117,152 for
the same period in 1997. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to a
decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships.  Equity in losses of
Local Limited Partnerships  decreased due to an overall decrease in interest and
operating  expenses and an increase in losses not recognized by the  Partnership
for Local Limited  Partnerships whose cumulative equity in losses and cumulative
distributions exceeded its total investment in those partnerships.  In addition,
rental income,  rental operations,  interest and depreciation expenses increased
due to a full three  months of  operations  in 1998 as  compared to one month of
operations in 1997 for the Combined Entity, since this entity was combined as of
March 1, 1997.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Property Discussions

Limited  Partnership  interests have been acquired in twenty-seven Local Limited
Partnerships which are located in ten states and the Virgin Islands. At the time
of  acquisition,  five of the  properties,  totaling  612 units,  were  existing
properties undergoing  rehabilitation and twenty-two  properties,  consisting of
1,762 units, were new construction.  All properties have completed  construction
or rehabilitation and initial lease-up.

Historic New Center in Detroit, Michigan is generating operating deficits due to
low occupancy and  collection  problems.  The Managing  General  Partner,  Local
General  Partner and  property  manager are working to improve  collections.  In
October 1997, a new site manager was hired to focus on marketing and collections
as well  as  improvements  to the  appearance  of the  property.  As  previously
reported,  the Managing  General Partner and the Local General Partner have been
in  negotiations  with the lender to obtain debt service  relief  through a loan
modification.  In April 1998, an agreement  was reached in order to  restructure
the  mortgage  with a reduction in debt service by a paydown of the mortgage and
an interest rate  reduction.  This  restructuring  should enable the property to
cover the debt service and provide capital for physical improvements.  Occupancy
continues  to  fluctuate  due to  volatility  of the  tenant  profile.  However,
occupancy  as of June 30,  1998 was  97%.  The  Managing  General  Partner  will
continue to closely monitor property operations.

Westgate,  located in North Dakota, has been experiencing  declining  occupancy.
Occupancy  as of June 30,  1998  was 85%.  Affiliates  of the  Managing  General
Partner  have been working  with the Local  General  Partner who has raised some
concerns over the long-term  financial  health of the property.  In an effort to
reduce  possible  future risk,  the Managing  General  Partner  consummated  the
transfer of 50% of the Partnership's interest in capital and profits in Westgate
to the Local  General  Partner.  The Managing  General  Partner has the right to
transfer the Partnership's  remaining  interest to the Local General Partner any
time after one year has elapsed.  The Partnership  will retain its full share of
tax  credits  until  such  time as the  remaining  interest  is put to the Local
General  Partner.  In addition,  the Local General Partner has the right to call
the remaining interest after the tax credit period has expired.

In accordance with Financial  Accounting  Standard No. 121,  "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of",
which is  effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1995,  the
Partnership has implemented  policies and practices for assessing  impairment of
its real estate assets and investments in local limited partnerships. Each asset
is analyzed by real  estate  experts to  determine  if an  impairment  indicator
exists.  If so, the carrying  value is compared to future cash flows expected to
be derived from the asset.  If the total  undiscounted  cash flows are less than
the  carrying  value,  a provision to write down the asset to fair value will be
charged against income.
