Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are dependent on such
unaudited information. In the opinion of the Manager, the financial
statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of September 29, 1997 and the results of operations and cash
flows for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six month
periods ended September 29, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the entire year.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Material Changes in Financial Condition
As of September 29, 1997, Registrant has not experienced a significant change in
financial condition as compared to March 30, 1997. Principal changes in assets
are comprised of periodic transactions and adjustments and anticipated equity in
loss from operations of the Local Partnerships. During the six months ended
September 29, 1997, Registrant received cash from interest earnings and
distributions from Local Partnerships and utilized cash for operating expenses
and investing in bonds. Cash and cash equivalents and investments in bonds
available-for-sale increased, in the aggregate, by approximately $130,000 during
the six months ended September 29, 1997, which increase includes a net
unrealized gain recorded on investments in bonds of approximately $48,000 and
the amortization of net premium on investments in bonds of approximately $2,000.
During the six months ended September 29, 1997, the investment in Local
Partnerships decreased as a result of Registrant's equity in the Local
Partnerships' net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1997 of $414,780 and
cash distributions received from Local Partnerships of $119,838. Payable to
manager represents accrued management fees.
The Properties are principally comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income
multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United States. The
rents of the Properties, certain of which receive rental subsidy payments,
including payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974 ("Section 8"), are subject to specific laws, regulations
and agreements with federal and state agencies. The subsidy agreements expire at
various times during and after the Compliance Periods of the Local Partnerships.
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has issued
notices which implement provisions to renew certain project based Section 8
contracts expiring during HUD's fiscal year 1997, where requested by an owner,
for an additional one year term generally at or below current rent levels,
subject to certain guidelines. HUD has an additional program which, in general,
provides for restructuring rents and/or mortgages where rents may be adjusted to
market levels and mortgage terms may be adjusted based on the reduction in
rents, although there may be instances in which only rents, but not mortgages,
are restructured. Registrant cannot reasonably predict legislative initiatives
and governmental budget negotiations, the outcome of which could result in a
reduction in funds available for the various federal and state administered
housing programs including the Section 8 program. Such changes could adversely
affect the future net operating income and debt structure of any or all Local
Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy or similar subsidies. Two Local
Partnerships' Section 8 contracts, which cover certain rental units, are
scheduled to expire in 1997, one of which expired during 1996 and was extended
for one year. In addition, the Local Partnerships have various financing
structures which include (i) required debt service payments ("Mandatory Debt
Service") and (ii) debt service payments which are payable only from available
cash flow subject to the terms and conditions of the notes, which may be subject
to specific laws, regulations and agreements with appropriate federal and state
agencies ("Non-Mandatory Debt Service or Interest"). In the event rents are not
sufficient to cover operating expenses and Mandatory Debt Service requirements
and other charges, the Local General Partners are obligated to provide advances
to cover deficits for a certain period of time up to certain amounts (the
"Deficit Guarantee"). A Local General Partner's funding of such Deficit
Guarantee is dependent on its liquidity or ability to borrow the required funds.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenue from operations, Local
General Partner advances and reserves of the Local Partnerships have generally
been sufficient to cover the operating expenses and Mandatory Debt Service. All
of the Local Partnerships have achieved full operational status and
substantially all of the Local Partnerships are effectively operating at or near
breakeven levels, although certain Local Partnerships' accounting information
reflects operating deficits that do not represent cash deficits due to their
mortgage and financing structure and the required deferral of property
management fees. However, as discussed below, one Local Partnership's operating
information indicates below break even operations after taking account its
mortgage and financing structure.
The terms of the partnership agreement of St. Christopher's Associates, L.P.V
(the "St. Christopher Local Partnership") require the Local General Partner
of the St. Christopher Local Partnership to advance funds to cover all
operating deficits through the Compliance Period. The St. Christopher
Local Partnershipincurred an operating deficit of approximately $11,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Of Registrant's total annual
Low-income Tax Credits, approximately 15% is allocated from the
St.ChristopherLocal Partnership.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
Results of Operations
Registrant's operating results are dependent upon the operating results of the
Local Partnerships and are significantly impacted by the Local Partnerships'
policies. In addition, the operating results herein are not necessarily the same
for tax reporting. Registrant accounts for its investment in Local Partnerships
in accordance with the equity method of accounting, under which the investment
is carried at cost which includes capital contributions payable, and is adjusted
for Registrant's share of the Local Partnership's results of operations and by
any cash distributions received. Equity in loss of each investment in Local
Partnership allocated to Registrant is recognized to the extent of Registrant's
investment balance in each Local Partnership. Any equity in loss in excess of
Registrant's investment balance in a Local Partnership is allocated to other
partners' capital in each such Local Partnership. As a result, the equity in
loss of investment in Local Partnerships is expected to decrease as Registrant's
investment balances in the respective Local Partnerships become zero. As of
September 29, 1997, no investment in any Local Partnership has reached a zero
balance.
Three Months Ended September 29, 1997
For the three months ended September 29, 1997, Registrant had a net loss of
approximately $190,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local
Partnerships of approximately $165,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Registrant's loss from operations for the three months ended September 29, 1997
of approximately $25,000 was attributable to interest revenue of approximately
$36,000, exceeded by operating expenses of approximately $57,000 and
amortization of organization costs of approximately $4,000.
The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $167,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 was attributable to rental and other revenue of
approximately $936,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses (including
Non-Mandatory Interest) of approximately $768,000 and approximately $335,000 of
depreciation and amortization expenses.
Three Months Ended September 29, 1996
For the three months ended September 29, 1996, Registrant had a net loss of
approximately $267,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local
Partnerships of approximately $250,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Registrant's loss from operations for the three months ended September 29, 1996
of approximately $17,000 was attributable to interest revenue of approximately
$43,000, exceeded by operating expenses of approximately $56,000 and
amortization of organization costs of approximately $4,000.
The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $252,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 was attributable to rental and other revenue of
approximately $865,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses (including
Non-Mandatory Interest) of approximately $809,000 and approximately $308,000 of
depreciation and amortization expenses. As a result of ongoing development and
construction, one Local Partnership completed construction and initial rent-up
during June 1996.
Six Months Ended September 29, 1997
For the six months ended September 29, 1997, Registrant had a net loss of
approximately $468,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local
Partnerships of approximately $415,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Registrant's loss from operations for the six months ended September 29, 1997 of
approximately $53,000 was attributable to interest revenue of approximately
$70,000, exceeded by operating expenses of approximately $115,000 and

of Operations (continued)
Six Months Ended September 29, 1996
For the six months ended September 29, 1996, Registrant had a net loss of
approximately $449,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local
Partnerships of approximately $407,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Registrant's loss from operations for the six months ended September 29, 1996 of
approximately $42,000 was attributable to interest revenue of approximately
$84,000, exceeded by operating expenses of approximately $118,000 and
amortization of organization costs of approximately $8,000.
The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $412,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was attributable to rental and other revenue of
approximately $1,700,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses (including
Non-Mandatory Interest) of approximately $1,522,000 and approximately $590,000
of depreciation and amortization expenses. As a result of ongoing development
and construction, one Local Partnership completed construction and initial
rent-up during June 1996.
Three and Six Month Periods Ended September 29, 1997 v.
Three and Six Month Periods Ended September 29, 1996
Registrant's operations for the three months ended September 29, 1997 resulted
in a net loss of approximately $190,000 as compared to a net loss of
approximately $267,000 for the three months ended September 29, 1996. The
decrease in net loss is primarily attributed to a decrease in equity in loss of
investment in Local Partnerships of approximately $84,000, which is primarily
the result of an increase in the net rental income of certain Local
Partnerships.
Registrant's operations for the six months ended September 29, 1997 resulted in
a net loss of approximately $468,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately
$449,000 for the six months ended September 29, 1996. The increase in net loss
is primarily attributed to (i) an increase in equity in loss of investment in
Local Partnerships of approximately $7,000 as a result of more Local
Partnerships experiencing full operations and (ii) a decrease in interest
revenue of approximately $14,000 as a result of Registrant's utilization of
Temporary Investments to pay capital contributions to Local Partnerships.
