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. Certain amounts in prior year's
financial statements have been reclassified herein to conform to the current
year presentation.
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 of the Local Limited Partnerships included in the accompanying
combined financial statements is as of June 30, 1998.
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 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 interests 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 September 30, 1998:

1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships (continued)
The Partnership's share of net losses of the Local Limited Partnerships,
excluding Burbank, for the six months ended September 30, 1998 is $1,798,528.

In June, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." The
Statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997, requires that the Partnership display an amount representing total
comprehensive income for the period in its financial statements. The Partnership
adopted the new standard effective April 1, 1998.

(A Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1998, the Partnership (including Burbank) had cash and cash
equivalents of $840,957, as compared with $239,932 at March 31, 1998. The
increase is primarily attributable to proceeds from sales and maturities of
marketable securities in excess of purchases of marketable securities. The
increase is also attributable to distributions received from Local Limited
Partnerships and is partially offset by cash used in the Partnership's operating
activities.
Approximately $2,731,000 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 September 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 may 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 six months ended September 30, 1998.
Results of Operations
The Partnership's results of operations for the three and six months ended
September 30, 1998 resulted in net losses of $715,274 and $1,608,504,
respectively, as compared to net losses of $946,002 and $2,063,154 for the same
respective periods 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 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 six months of operations in 1998
as compared to four months of operations in 1997 for Burbank, since this entity
was combined as of March 1, 1997.

(A Limited Partnership)
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. Five of the
properties, totaling 612 units, were existing properties that underwent
rehabilitation and twenty-two properties, consisting of 1,762 units, were new
construction.
Most of the twenty-seven Local Limited Partnerships have stabilized operations.
The majority of these stabilized properties are operating at break-even or
generating positive operating cash flow.
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 1998, 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 accomplished 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 September 30, 1998 was 91%. The Managing
General Partner will continue to closely monitor property operations.
Westgate, located in North Dakota, has been experiencing declining occupancy.
Occupancy as of September 30, 1998 was 82%. 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.
Impact of Year 2000
The Managing General Partner has assessed the Partnership's exposure to date
sensitive computer software programs that may not be operative subsequent to
1999 and has executed a requisite course of action to minimize Year 2000 risk
and ensure that neither significant costs nor disruption of normal business
operations are encountered. However, due to the inherent uncertainty that all
systems of outside vendors or other companies on which the Partnership and/or
Local Limited Partnerships rely will be compliant, the Partnership remains
susceptible to consequences of the Year 2000 issue.
