NOTE B - ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES

The condensed financial statements herein as of June 30, 1998 and
for the
three months then ended have been prepared by the Fund, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange
Commission.  The Fund accounts for its investments in Operating
Partnerships
using the equity method, whereby the Fund adjusts its investment
cost for its
share of each Operating Partnership's results of operations and
for any
distributions received or accrued.  Costs incurred by the Fund in
acquiring
the investments in the Operating Partnerships are capitalized to
the
investment account.

The Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies are in
conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles and include
adjustments in
interim periods considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the
results of operations.  Such adjustments are of a normal
recurring
nature.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted
accounting principals have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
such
rules and regulations.  It is suggested that these condensed
financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and
notes thereto included in the Fund's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Investment Securities

to be
categorized as securities available for sale.  Securities
classified as
available for sale are those debt securities that the Fund
purchased that may
be liquidated prior to the maturity date should the need arise.
These
securities are carried at approximate fair market value.  All of
the
investments held by the Fund are tax-exempt municipal bonds and
Certificates of Deposit.

The amortized cost of securities available for sale as of June
30, 1998
by contractual maturity are as follows:

NOTE D - INVESTMENT IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS-CONTINUED

When comparing the results of operations from the Operating
Partnerships for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 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.

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Fund's taxable loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999
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, Series 24, Series 25, Series 26 and
Series 27.  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, 1998 and 1997 the Fund held limited partnership
interests
in 276 and 204 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, 1998 as Series 24,
Series 25, Series 26, Series 27, Series 28, Series 29, Series 30,
Series 31 and Series 32 continue to use the funds raised to
invest in partnership interests of additional Operating
Partnerships, and the Fund continues to offer BACs in Series 33.

The final BACs in Series 32 were issued on June 23, 1998 bringing
the total
dollars raised for Series 32 to $47,431,000.  The Fund has
started offering BACs in Series 33 and has collected equity
totaling $$1,063,000 as of June 30, 1998.  No investors have been
admitted to Series 33 as of June 30, 1998.

The Fund incurred a fund management fee to Boston Capital Asset
Management
Limited Partnership (formerly 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, 1998 for Series 20, Series 21, Series 22, Series 23,
Series 24,
Series 25, Series 26, Series 27, Series 28, Series 29, Series 30,
Series
31 and Series 32 were $93,153, $42,460, $60,743, $58,816,
$58,287, $64,369, $88,830, $75,829, $69,177, $69,218, $30,359,
$63,361 and $20,037, 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.
