NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Fund's taxable loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 is expected
to differ from its loss for financial reporting purposes primarily due
to accounting differences in depreciation incurred by the Operating 
Partnerships.  No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in
these financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and
is reportable by, the partners and assignees individually.

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

Liquidity
- ---------
The Fund's primary source of funds is the proceeds of its Public Offering. 
Other sources of liquidity will include (i) interest earned on capital
contributions held pending investment and on working capital and (ii)
cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the
Fund has and will invest.  The Fund does not anticipate significant cash
distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships. 

The Fund is currently accruing the fund management fee for Series 20, Series
21 and Series 22.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such liabilities
will be deferred until the Fund receives sales of refinancing proceeds from
Operating partnerships which will be used to satisfy such liabilities.  the
Fund's working capital and sources of liquidity coupled with affiliated party
liability accruals allow sufficient levels of liquidity to meet the third
party obligations of the Fund.  The Fund is currently unaware if any trends
which would create insufficient liquidity to meet future third party
obligations.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
As of June 30, 1996 and 1995 the Fund held limited partnership interests in
135 and 72 Operating Partnerships, respectively.  In each instance the
Apartment Complex owned by the  applicable Operating Partnership is eligible
for the Federal Housing Tax Credit.  Occupancy of a unit in each Apartment
Complex which initially complied with the Minimum Set-Aside Test (i.e.,
occupancy by tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage
of area median income) and the Rent Restriction Test (i.e., gross rent charged
tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to
hereinafter as "Qualified Occupancy."  Each of the Operating Partnerships and
each of the respective Apartment Complexes are described more fully in the
Prospectus or applicable report on Form 8-K.  The General Partner believes
that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

The Fund's results of operations for future periods will vary significantly
from those for the period ended June 30, 1996 as Series 22, Series 23,
Series 24, Series 25, and Series 26 continue to use the funds raised to invest
in partnership interests of additional Operating Partnerships and the Fund
begins to offer BACs in Series 27.  

The Fund incurred a fund management fee to Boston Capital Communications
Limited Partnership in an amount equal to .5 percent of the aggregate cost of
the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount
of certain asset management and reporting fees paid by the Operating
Partnerships.  The fund management fees incurred for the quarter ended June
30, 1996 for Series 20, Series 21, Series 22, Series 23, Series 24, Series 25
and Series 26 were $93,226, $56,460, $52,376, $59,064, $30,948, $19,497 and
$4,443 respectively. 





                                     53<PAGE>
The Fund's investment objectives do not include receipt of significant cash
distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested or
intends to invest.  The Fund's investments in Operating Partnerships have been
and will be made principally with a view towards realization of Federal
Housing Tax Credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.
