NOTE D - INVESTMENT IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS-CONTINUED

When comparing the results of operations from the Operating Partnerships for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 numerous variances,
some material in nature, exist.  The variances are the result of a number
of factors including an increase in the number of Operating Partnerships
owned, an increase in the number which have completed construction, and an
increase in the number which have completed the lease-up phase.

In prior quarters three Operating Partnerships were admitted to the Fund
without an initial outlay of capital.  One was admitted to Series 21 and
Series 22, and two were admitted solely to Series 22.  These short form
admissions were an agreement between the Operating Partnership General
Partners and the General Partner, that upon further due diligence, the Fund
had the Option to purchase the Operating Partnerships if it was in the best
interest of the Fund.  Subsequent studies indicated that the Operating
Partnerships would not generate the originally anticipated amount of credits,
and the General Partner elected to have the Fund's interest repurchased.


NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Fund's taxable loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 is expected
to differ from its loss for financial reporting purposes.  This is primarily
due to accounting differences in depreciation incurred by the Operating
Partnerships  and also differences between the equity method of accounting
and the IRS accounting methods.  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, Series 22, Series 23 and Series 24.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement,
such liabilities will be deferred until the Fund receives sales or 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, 1997 and 1996 the Fund held limited partnership interests
in 204 and 135 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, 1997 as Series 24, Series 25, Series
26, Series 27, Series 28, and Series 29 continue to use the funds raised
to invest in partnership interests of additional Operating Partnerships and
the Fund begins to offer BACs in Series 30.

The Fund incurred a fund management fee to Boston Capital Asset Management
Limited Partnership (formerly Boston 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, 1997 for Series
20, Series 21, Series 22, Series 23, Series 24, Series 25, Series 26, Series 27,
and Series 28 were $94,243, $54,872, $58,993, $58,663, $43,730, $64,718,
$56,902, $63,501 and $15,222, respectively.

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.

During 1996, the Operating General Partner of Breeze Cove Limited Partnership
experienced financial difficulties.  Shortly thereafter, the Operating General
Partner and its affiliated management company were replaced.  The new
Operating General Partner and management company have conducted extensive
research and prepared budgets and summaries of the physical condition of the
Operating Partnership with the goal of improving the overall operations and
appearance of the property.  Operations are anticipated to improve with the
change in management.

In August 1996, the General Partner was notified that Virginia Avenue Housing
Limited Partnership was named as defendant in a land encroachment complaint.

unsuccessful.  At this time, the Investment General Partner is examining the

settlement on behalf of the Operating Partnership.
