The gain (loss) described above is for financial statement purposes only. There are significant differences between the equity method of accounting and the tax reporting of income and losses from Operating Partnership investments. The largest difference is the ability, for tax purposes, to deduct losses in excess of the Fund's investment in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the amount of gain recognized for tax purposes may be significantly higher than the gain recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund's fiscal year ends March 31st of each year, while all the Operating Partnerships' fiscal years are the calendar year.  Pursuant to the provisions of each Operating Partnership Agreement, financial results for each of the Operating Partnerships are provided to the Fund within 45 days after the close of each Operating Partnerships quarterly period.  Accordingly, the current financial results available for the Operating Partnerships are for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

its investment cost for its share of each Operating Partnership's results of
operations and for any distributions received or accrued. However, the
Fund recognizes individual operating losses only to the extent of
capital contributions. Excess losses are suspended for use in future years to
offset excess income.

Fund recognizes individual operating losses only to the extent of
capital contributions. Excess losses are suspended for use in future years to
offset excess income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Fund's taxable loss for the calendar year ended December 31, 2010 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.

NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Fund has entered into agreements to either sell or transfer interests in eight Operating Partnerships. The estimated sales prices and other terms for the disposition of the Operating Partnerships have been determined. The estimated proceeds to be received for these eight Operating Partnerships are $1,012,637. The estimated gain on sales of the Operating Partnerships is $828,324 and the sales are expected to be recognized in the second or third quarter of fiscal year end 2011.



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

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including our intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies and predictions of our future activities, or other future events or conditions. These statements are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by these acts. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including, for example, the factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

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 reserves and (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund has invested and will invest.  Interest income is expected to decrease over the life of the Fund as capital contributions are paid to the Operating Partnerships and working capital reserves are expended. The Fund does not anticipate significant cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships.

The Fund is currently accruing the fund management fee.  Fund management fees accrued during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 were $404,146 and total fund management fees accrued as of June 30, 2010 were $23,679,306. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010 $397,634 of accrued fund management fees were paid. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, these liabilities will be deferred until the Fund receives proceeds from sales of the Operating Partnerships, which will be used to satisfy these 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 of any trends which would create insufficient liquidity to meet future third party obligations of the Fund.

As of June 30, 2010, an affiliate of the general partner of the Fund advanced a total of $793,696 to the Fund to pay some operating expenses of the Fund, and to make advances and/or loans to Operating Partnerships. These advances are included in Accounts payable-affiliates. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 there were no advances. Below is a summary, by series, of the total advances made to date.

|          | Three Months Ended | Total

Results of Operations

As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Fund held limited partnership interests in 166 and 181 Operating Partnerships, respectively.  In each instance the apartment complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the federal housing tax credit.  Initial occupancy of a unit in each apartment complex which complied with the minimum set-aside test (i.e., initial 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 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 of the Fund believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

The Fund incurs a fund management fee to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership (formerly Boston Capital Communications Limited Partnership), or BCAMLP, in an amount equal to .5 percent of the aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of various asset management and reporting fees paid by the Operating Partnerships. The fund management fees net of reporting fees incurred and the reporting fees paid by the Operating Partnerships for the three months ended June 30, 2010 are as follows:

|          | 3 Months
Management Fee Net of Reporting Fee | 3 Months
Reporting Fee
|--------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------
|Series 15 | 51,072                                       | 13,665                
|Series 16 | 101,870                                      | 16,027                
|Series 17 | 87,003                                       | 15,688                
|Series 18 | 34,997                                       | 36,190                
|Series 19 | 10,634                                       | 37,000

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 made principally with a view towards realization of federal housing tax credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.



Series 15

As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The series had a total of 40 properties June 30, 2010, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Series 15 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(247,813) and $(280,409), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $468,502 and $510,786, respectively. This is an interim period estimate; it is not indicative of the final year end results.

Beckwood Manor Eight Limited Partnership (Lakeside Apartments) is a 32-unit, senior property, located in Lake Village, Arkansas. The property receives rental assistance for 23 units and is generally able to keep those units occupied. There are several other low income tax credit developments in the area offering rental assistance, and this competition has contributed to the property's historically low occupancy. It remains difficult to rent units without rental assistance. The current leasing incentives include waiving the security deposit and offering two months of free rent. Management continues to heavily advertise in surrounding areas. Occupancy improved to 72% at the end of the second quarter of 2010. The property operated below breakeven in 2009 due to low occupancy and overly burdensome operating expenses. Through the second quarter of 2010, the property is operating above breakeven due to a decrease in maintenance and administrative expenses. In order to decrease the operating expenses, management completes a majority of work orders and property maintenance issues in-house. The investment general partner will conduct a site visit in the third quarter of 2010 to ensure the property is properly maintained. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits as needed. To allow for operational cash flow the Operating Partnership is accruing management fees and payroll fees, all of which are due to the operating general partner. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are all current.

Livingston Plaza, Limited (Livingston Plaza) is a 24-unit, family property located in Livingston, Texas. The property has struggled with occupancy levels for several years. Despite efforts to improve the reputation of the property and reduce resident turnover and evictions, occupancy averaged 62% in 2009 and was 52% at the end of the second quarter of 2010. The property operated below breakeven in 2009 and continues to operate below breakeven through the second quarter of 2010. The continued low occupancy is partially due to economic conditions in the area. There are also several competitive properties less than a mile from the property. Management reports that trailer home ownership is very affordable in the area and often the monthly mortgage payment is in line with the rent at Livingston Plaza. Management continues to evict between two and three residents each month. Marketing consists of advertisements in local newspapers and distributing fliers to local businesses, churches, and schools. Also, to maintain a safe environment for the residents, the site manager worked with the local police department and was successful in establishing regular afternoon and evening police patrols through the property. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are current. The operating general partner guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Livingston Plaza. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

In October 2009, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Osage Housing Associates LP to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $530,583 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $480,000. Of the total proceeds received, $7,600 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $472,400 will be returned to cash reserves held by Series 15. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding

obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies

will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $472,400 as of December 31, 2009.

Greentree Apartments Limited (Sue-Ellen Apartments) is a 24-unit, family property located in Utica, OH. The operating general partner passed away in the second quarter of 2007 and his widow assumed the responsibilities. During 2008, communication with the new operating general partner became extremely difficult while operations declined. The property operated below breakeven in 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the operating general partner learned that the current management company's contract had been terminated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, Rural Development has accelerated the note and started foreclosure proceedings. Although the operating general partner appealed, the appeal was denied. The investment general partner learned of these developments from the real estate broker engaged by the operating general partner. There is a reputable potential operating general partner that is interested in acquiring the operating general partner and investment general partner interests. The investment general partner anticipates an offer in the third quarter 2010. The affiliated management company of the potential operating general partner has already been placed on-site by Rural Development. This has improved the overall management of the property. The investment limited partner met with the operating general partner in September 2009 to discuss the potential sale. The investment general partner will continue to work with the potential incoming operating general partner and Rural Development until there is a resolution to the foreclosure proceedings. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Greentree Apartments. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Showboat Manor LDHA LP (Showboat Manor Apartments) is a 26-unit senior property located in Chesaning, MI. The property has historically operated with low occupancy, which has resulted in below breakeven operations. In 2009, the property continued to operate below breakeven. Marketing consists of advertisements in local newspapers and distributing fliers to local businesses, churches, and schools. Management has also contacted the local housing authority and has instituted a resident referral program. To help retain residents, management is offering on-site events to enhance the sense of community. Also, to maintain a safe environment for the residents, the site manager worked with the local police department and was successful in establishing regular afternoon and evening police patrols. Because of ongoing operating cash flow issues, the property was put under a workout plan with Rural Development in 2008. The goal of the plan was to fully fund the tax and insurance escrow as well as the replacement reserve. However, due to continued low occupancy, management was unsuccessful in fully funding the tax and insurance escrow and replacement reserve account. In December 2009 management informed Rural Development of the issue and at this time is waiting for their response. Through second quarter 2010, the property is continuing to operate with low occupancy and as a result is unable to breakeven. As of June 2010, the property was 73% occupied. The operating general partner's operating deficit guarantee has expired. The Operating Partnership's mortgage payments are current. On December 31, 2007, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Showboat Manor. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

The remaining proceeds from the sale of $103,709 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 15.

After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero.

Rainier Manor Apartments is a 104-unit family development located in Mount Rainier, MD. The property was constructed in 1993. At the time of construction, the general contractor installed the waterproofing system for the buildings improperly. As a result of the improper installation and subsequent slow leaks, the operating general partner recently became aware of severe structural deficiencies at the property. Two units are currently out of service, but there have been no reports of mold growth. An engineering report was conducted and estimated costs of repair are $1,300,000. The operating general partner has indicated an intention to refinance the debt and take out sufficient capital in order to make the necessary repairs. As there is a lockout period on the prepayment of the debt, the operating general partner is in negotiations with the lender to allow for early prepayment. To help expedite the negotiations, the operating general partner has not made the December or January mortgage payments, hoping to work out the issue and reduce the pre-payment penalty. The investment general partner is awaiting a response from the lender. The Operating Partnership's 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2007.

In February 2010, the operating general partner of Rainier Manor Associates LP approved an agreement to sell the property and the transaction was scheduled to close in July 2010 but the closing was extended to September 2010.

The transaction is scheduled to close in December 2010. Of the total proceeds estimated to be received, $20,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership; $21,451 represents a credit recovery loan due to the investment limited partner; and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, it is expected that $15,000 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs.

During 2009, additional advertising campaigns were started, including an ad in the local Hispanic newspaper, an online listing that reaches out to safe houses, rehab homes, etc., and new fliers, balloons and flags to enhance the property's visibility within the community.

Green Acres Limited Partnership (Green Acres Estates) is a 48-unit, (20 Low-Income Housing Tax Credit units) property located in West Bath, Maine. During the second quarter 2010, the property continued to operate below breakeven due to low occupancy. As of the end of the second quarter 2010, the property was 67% occupied.

The investment general partner will continue to monitor operations at the property to ensure maintenance and administrative expenses stablize and above breakeven operations are achieved in the third quarter of 2010.

Palmetto Properties Ltd. (Palmetto Villas) is a 49-unit property located in Palmetto, Florida. The property has historically suffered from low occupancy, high operating expenses, and deferred maintenance issues. Occupancy averaged 73% in 2009. The low occupancy was caused by the property's lack of rental assistance. Only 28 units had rental assistance, and rents on the remaining units were high relative to what the market could pay. Rural Development agreed to transfer 18 additional units of rental assistance to the property in 2009 and, as a result, occupancy increased to 88% by December. In 2010, occupancy has continued to increase and it was 92% as of June 30. Despite the increased occupancy, the property continues to operate well below breakeven. Taxes are in arrears, and were sold at a tax certificate sale. On January 5, 2010 Rural Development issued a notice of acceleration on the debt. The reasons for the acceleration were the failure to pay the real estate taxes, adequately fund replacement reserves, maintain the complex in a decent, safe, and sanitary condition, submit an operating budget, and maintain an acceptable occupancy rate. The operating general partner requested a meeting with Rural Development as a result of the acceleration. The meeting was held on February 10, 2010. The operating general partner offered several proposals to resolve the issues including Rural Development approving debt deferral for a period of two years, a rent increase of $30 per unit, and the deferral of the management fee. Rural Development responded that they did not believe any of the proposals were sufficient and that they were continuing to move forward with the acceleration. The operating general partner has requested mediation to resolve the dispute with Rural Development. The investment general partner will continue to monitor this situation closely. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Palmetto Properties Ltd.

Cypress Point LP (Laurel Ridge Apartments) is a 78-unit property located in Naples, FL. Occupancy averaged 94% in 2009, with below breakeven operations. As economic conditions have deteriorated in Florida, the property's struggles have continued. Prior to 2007, the Naples area had experienced significant growth in the construction industry, but in 2007 construction halted due to oversupply and declining property values. In efforts to avoid foreclosure, many private owners began competing with Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties by accepting Section 8 vouchers. As no additional Section 8 vouchers were being provided to area residents, the market became extremely competitive as properties were vying for the same dwindling tenant base. Concessions increased dramatically and effective rental rates declined significantly. In addition, the tourism market has slowed, resulting in many service employees losing their jobs or seeing their hours reduced. As a result, evictions increased in the area as rents became unaffordable to many. Management at Laurel Ridge has reduced rents and is offering a one-month concession broken out over the first two months of a twelve-month lease. Although the property has been able to maintain occupancy above 90%, operations have remained below breakeven. Management is working with tenants to make payment arrangements in an effort to reduce bad debt and evictions. At the end of the second quarter of 2010, occupancy was 95% with below breakeven operations. The investment general partner will work with the operating general partner to reduce bad debt and ensure that all deficits are funded. The mortgage, real estate taxes, and insurance payments are current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Cypress Point LP. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Lakeview Meadows II L.D.H.A. Limited Partnership (Lakeview Meadows II) is a 60-unit, elderly property located in Battle Creek, Michigan. In 2009, the Battle Creek economy weakened considerably, which ultimately impacted occupancy at the property. Throughout 2009, occupancy gradually declined. As of December 2009, occupancy was 77% and the property was not able to breakeven. Through second quarter of 2010 physical occupancy continued to decline. As of June 2010 the property was 74% occupied and operating below breakeven. In an effort to improve occupancy, management is aggressively advertising, causing a slight increase in administrative expenses. Also, to attract more traffic to the property, management is offering one month free rent to its new residents. The investment general partner will continue to monitor occupancy and operations. All real estate tax, mortgage, and insurance payments are current. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Lakeview Meadows II L.D.H.A. Limited Partnership.

Newton I, Limited Partnership (Newton Plaza Apartments) is a 24-unit family development in Newton, Iowa. Occupancy decreased in the second and third quarters of 2009 due to evictions for nonpayment of rent, but the property recovered and ended the year at 100% occupancy. A recent decrease in physical occupancy during the second quarter of 2010 is attributed to several tenants vacating without giving proper notice, which has caused lengthy turnaround times. Current marketing includes an ad in the Local Free Shopper, which circulates to 3000 households. The site is confident that 100% occupancy will be maintained once achieved in the near future. The high turnover resulted in higher than budgeted maintenance expenses in 2009, primarily for carpet and vinyl replacements, causing the property to operate below breakeven during the year. The property continues to operate below breakeven in 2010 due to high operating expenses. Operating cash flow is anticipated to gradually improve during 2010. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Newton I. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Bear Creek of Naples (Bear Creek Apartments) is a 120-unit family development located in Naples, Florida. The property operated below breakeven in 2009 due to high vacancy loss and high maintenance expenses associated with turning over vacant units and correcting deferred maintenance issues. Occupancy improved in the second quarter of 2010, with June occupancy ending at 93%. Despite an increase in occupancy, the property continued to operate below breakeven in the second quarter due to high administrative and maintenance expenses. These expenses are necessary in order to advertise the property and turn the units for incoming residents. Management is running advertisements in the local paper every weekend and has signs in front of the property displaying rents to drive-by traffic as the property is on a main road. Management attributes improving occupancy to the new property manager that started in the fourth quarter of 2009. The new manager has been making an effort to get to know the residents on a personal level and has implemented a resident retention program to reduce turnover costs. The program includes various social functions as well as a resident referral program and newsletter. The mortgage and insurance payments are current. The real estate taxes are currently delinquent. The investment general partner is monitoring the issue and continues to encourage the operating general partner to pay the taxes to ensure the Operating Partnership is not lost to a tax sale. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Bear Creek of Naples. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Parvin's L.P. (Parvin's Branch Townhouses) is a 24-unit family property located in Vineland, New Jersey. In 2008, occupancy averaged 91% and the property operated below breakeven. In 2009, average occupancy remained stable at 92%, but the property continued to operate below breakeven status. As of June 2010, the occupancy at the property was 83%. The property has experienced significant collection issues due to the current tenant profile and nature of eviction laws in the State of New Jersey. According to management, evictions can take up to 6 months to fully process in the State of New Jersey. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits as needed. The first mortgage matured in July 2009. After negotiating with the lender, a loan modification was finalized on April 30, 2010, that resulted in a lower interest rate and a three-year extension. The extension does not add additional debt. Mortgage payments were made during negotiations to keep the loan current. According to the operating general partner, the resulting lower interest rate and management's concerted effort to turn over the current tenant profile will allow the property's revenue to cover expenses in 2010. The real estate taxes and insurance payments are all current. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Parvin's L.P. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Preston Wood Associates, LP (Preston Wood Apartments) is a 62-unit property located in Bentonville, Arkansas. Occupancy has historically been an issue, dropping to an average of 47% in 2008. In January 2009, the operating general partner brought in a new management company with prior success in the market. Since the new company has assumed management duties, deferred maintenance has been performed and physical improvements have been made in an effort to make the property more attractive. In addition, new tenant programs and marketing outreach initiatives were introduced. However, the property remains unable to effectively compete with newer properties in the area due to its age and the fact that it offers fewer amenities than its competitors. Further adding to marketing challenges is a road-widening project the City is performing in front of the property. The property sign has been taken down and the construction activity limits drive-by traffic as the property entrance is typically blocked by construction equipment. The City does not allow temporary banners, balloons, or other signs in front of the property. Roadwork on the side of the road closest to the community was completed in the spring of 2010 but work on the opposite side of the road is not anticipated to be completed until 2011. At the end of the second quarter of 2010, occupancy was 65% and operations were below breakeven. The permanent debt matured in August 2009 and was initially extended to December 2009. At the end of the fourth quarter 2009 the operating general partner confirmed that the mortgage was extended again to August 2012. All deficits are being funded by the operating general partner. The investment general partner will continue to monitor occupancy and operations. The mortgage, real estate taxes, and insurance are all current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Preston Wood Associates, LP.

In March 2010, the operating general partner of Preston Wood Associates LP approved an agreement to sell the property and the transaction is scheduled to close in September 2010. The anticipated sales price for the property is $992,000, which includes the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $472,362 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $7,500. Of the total proceeds estimated to be received, it is expected that $7,500 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. There are no remaining proceeds from the sale anticipated to be returned to cash reserves held by Series 18.

Humboldt I, LP (Briarwood Apartments) is a 20-unit property located in Humboldt, IA. Operations have struggled at this property for the past several years due to low occupancy and high maintenance expenses related to resident turnover. Lack of cash flow has resulted in the replacement reserve not being funded to the required levels. Historical and ongoing challenges cited by management include problem tenants that require eviction, difficulty attracting quality tenants, and the poor state of the local economy. Management relies heavily on outside contacts and referrals from the local housing authority, but also runs advertisements on a weekly basis in a free weekly advertiser that is distributed throughout town. Advertising has been expanded into surrounding towns to increase interest and rental incentives and discounts are being offered. Occupancy increased in the second quarter as a result of management's efforts, and was 85% in June 2010. The low occupancy and unit turnover resulted in the property operating below breakeven in 2009 and into the second quarter of 2010. The replacement reserves account is underfunded due to the constant withdrawals of funds to finance capital expenditures and costs related to turnover. A Servicing Workout Plan was approved by Rural Development on September 28, 2009 and was intended to fully fund the replacement reserve, pay down accounts payable, and increase occupancy. Quarterly meetings are being held as a means of tracking progress as part of the plan. A new site manager was hired in August 2009 to assist with the property's overall improvement. A site visit was conducted in October 2009 by the investment general partner. The property was found to be in generally good condition. The mortgage, taxes, and insurance are current. The site continues to market to the surrounding areas and is holding an open house in late July with the hopes of filling the remaining vacancies.

Marengo Park Apartments LP (Marengo Park Apartments) is a 24-unit property located in Marengo Park, IA. Occupancy has historically been an issue for this property. Occupancy was at 71% at the end of the second quarter of 2010. The low occupancy was due to tenants vacating because of unemployment and evictions for nonpayment of rent. Management anticipates improvements in occupancy as a result of a new full time site manager who was recently hired. The site has recently changed its name with the hopes that, given the prior reputation of the development, a change in name would enhance traffic to the site. Current marketing includes advertising on Rent.com, an ad in the Local Free Shopper (which covers three cities/towns), posted fliers in the local community and frequent contacts with local agencies, as well as 'for rent' signs located on the property. The current property manager has several applications pending and is making concerted efforts to bring the physical occupancy over 90%. The property is operating slightly above breakeven as of the end of the second quarter. Management fees are being accrued and expenses have been cut. The property is operating under an approved workout plan dated March 3, 2009, which aims to fund the replacement reserves, make payables current, and resolve capital improvement issues. Management is working vigorously to achieve full occupancy by the summer of 2010. Payables are anticipated to be brought current by December 2010 provided that the property achieves and maintains full occupancy, and expenses remain within budget. The investment general partner continues to work closely with the operating general partner to monitor the property until occupancy improves and operations stabilize. A site visit was conducted in October 2009. The property was in good condition. Real estate taxes were paid in March 2010. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Marengo Park Apartments. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Martindale Apartments, Ltd. (Martindale Apartments) is a 24-unit property located in Martindale, Texas. In the past, inadequate rental rates did not cover normal operating expenses. In 2008, Rural Development approved a rent increase of approximately $15 per unit. The increased rents caused resident turnover and occupancy decreased to an average 87% in 2008. The property operated below breakeven in 2008 due to the low occupancy. In 2009 occupancy averaged 92%. Despite the improvement in occupancy, the property continued to operate below breakeven due to insufficient rental rates. Occupancy has continued to remain strong in 2010, averaging 90% for the year, but operations remain below breakeven status. All real estate tax, mortgage, and insurance payments are current. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Martindale.

Carrollton Villa, L.P. (Meadow Ridge Apartments) located in Carrollton, Missouri, has historically operated below breakeven, due to insufficient rental rates and few job opportunities in the property's rural location. The property also suffers from high operating expenses, specifically utilities. Over the past five years the City of Carrollton has dramatically increased water and sewer rates to cover the repair to water lines. Water and sewer rates have increased over 300% from 2005 levels. The average occupancy through June 30, 2010 has been 100%, but operations have remained consistently below breakeven. To alleviate the pressure on cash flow, the mortgage was made a cash flow only mortgage in 2004. This allowed the property to reduce operating deficits. Also, the maturity dates for the first and second mortgages were extended from December 2008 and November 2008 to December 2013 and November 2013, respectively. The real estate taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current. Operating deficits continue to be funded through operating general partner and investment limited partner contributions.

Forest Associates Limited (Sharon Apartments) is a 24-unit apartment complex for families located in Forest, OH. The operating general partner passed away in the second quarter of 2007 and his widow assumed the responsibilities. During 2008, communication with the new operating general partner became extremely difficult. The operations declined and the property operated below breakeven for 2008 with occupancy ending at 63% for December 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the investment general partner learned that the current management company's contract had been terminated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, Rural Development has accelerated the note and started foreclosure proceedings. Although the operating general partner appealed, the appeal was denied. The investment general partner learned of these developments from the real estate broker engaged by the operating general partner. There is a reputable operating general partner that is interested in acquiring the operating general partner and investment general partner interests. An offer to purchase is anticipated by the third quarter of 2010. The affiliated management company of the potential operating general partner has already been placed on-site by Rural Development. The investment general partner met with the operating general partner in September to discuss the potential sale. The investment limited partner will continue to work with the potential incoming operating general partner and Rural Development until there is a resolution to the foreclosure proceedings.

Jeremy Associates, LP (Coopers Crossing Apartments) is a 93-unit family development located in Las Colinas, Texas. In 2009, average occupancy was 95%; however, the property continued to operate below breakeven due to high operating expenses. Occupancy continues to be strong and was 100% at the end of the second quarter of 2010. Operating expenses are high mainly due to high maintenance costs as a result of severe physical deficiencies in a number of buildings on site. Since construction, a number of the buildings have had differential settlement issues resulting in cracked floor slabs, cracked brick veneer, cracking windows and doors and sagging balconies. These concerns have been addressed on an ongoing basis via advances by the operating general partner. Despite high occupancy and cost control efforts including staffing reduction, reduced marketing and the shutting down of one boiler during warmer months, the property continues to operate below breakeven in 2010. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits despite the expiration of the operating deficit guarantee. So far the operating general partner has advanced over $1,800,000 for repairs and operating deficits. The mortgage, trade payables, property taxes and insurance are current.

Northpointe, LP (Northpointe Apartments) is a 158-unit family property located in Kansas City, MO. In 2009, despite average occupancy of 92% and a slight decrease in operating expenses, the property operated below breakeven. Rents have been kept below the maximum allowable to remain competitive with two nearby tax credit properties developed within the past five years. Occupancy has improved to 94% as of May 2010, but rent levels remain insufficient to cover expenses. The operating general partner continues to fund deficits as needed; however, he has notified the investment general partner that his ability to continue funding is limited. The operating general partner and investment general partner have explored refinancing and disposition options, but the significant prepayment penalty of $770,000 associated with the debt has prevented a sale or refinance from being a feasible option. The operating general partner plans to continue funding the property to the best of his ability until the mortgage is closer to maturity date of August 2014. The property's mortgage, real estate taxes and insurance payments are all current.

Of the total proceeds received, $35,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $9,125 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $225,559 was returned to cash reserves held by Series 19. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $225,559 as of June 30, 2009.

In December 2009, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Wedgewood Lane Associates to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $937,637 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $26,500. Of the total proceeds received, $15,000 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $11,500 was returned to cash reserves held by Series 19. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of

the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. The sale proceeds were received on January 5, 2010; so a receivable in the amount of $11,500 has been recorded for Series 19 as of December 31, 2009. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $11,500 as of December 31, 2009.

In February 2010, the investment general partner of Series 19 entered into an agreement to transfer its interest in Ankeny Housing Associates Two LP to a non-affiliated entity for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $2,566,333 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $1,544,780. The transaction closed as of April 2010. Of the total proceeds received, $10,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $20,400 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $1,514,380 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 19. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $1,514,380 as of June 30, 2010.

Principal Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require the Fund to make various estimates and assumptions. The following section is a summary of some aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of the Fund's financial condition and results of operations. The Fund believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements.

The Fund is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which are primarily investments in limited partnerships. The Fund accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Fund does not control the operations of the Operating Partnerships. The purpose of an impairment analysis is to verify that the real estate investment balance reflected on the balance sheet does not exceed the value of the underlying investments.

If the book value of the Fund's investment in an Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, which generally consists of the remaining future Low-Income Housing Credits allocable to the Fund and the estimated residual value to the Fund, the Fund reduces its investment in the Operating Partnership and includes this reduction in equity in loss of investment of limited partnerships.

In accordance with the accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Fund determines when it should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements, and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE. The analysis that must be performed to determine which entity should consolidate a VIE focuses on control and economic factors.  A VIE is a legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if it is the primary beneficiary because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

Based on this guidance, the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund invests meet the definition of a VIE.  However, management does not consolidate the Fund's interests in these VIEs, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary.  The Fund currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheets, recognizes its share of fund income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements. The Fund's balance in investment in Operating Partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments, represents its maximum exposure to loss.  The Fund's exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying Housing Complexes as well as the strength of the local general partners and their guarantee against credit recapture.





Recent Accounting Changes

The Fund has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Fund's federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a Partnership. Accordingly, the Fund is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Fund is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Fund has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and shall be applied prospectively except for very limited transactions. In February 2008, the FASB delayed for one year implementation of the guidance as it pertains to certain non-financial assets and liabilities. The Fund adopted GAAP for Fair Value Measurements effective April 1, 2008, except as it applies to those non-financial assets and liabilities, for which the effective date was April 1, 2009. The Fund has determined that adoption of this guidance has no material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

In November 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance on Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations that addresses how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed, how an equity method investee's issuance of shares should be accounted for, and how to account for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. This guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Fund adopted the guidance for the interim quarterly period beginning April 1, 2009. The impact of adopting it does not have a material impact on the Fund's financial condition or results of operations.





Recent Accounting Changes - continued

In April 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance for Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  This requires disclosure about the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements.  It became effective for Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P. as of and for the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and has no impact on the Fund's financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding subsequent events, which was subsequently updated in February 2010. This guidance established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was therefore adopted by the Fund for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the subsequent events that the Fund reports, either through recognition or disclosure, in the financial statements. In February 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on subsequent events to remove the requirement to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, alleviating conflicts with current SEC guidance. This amendment was effective immediately and therefore the Company did not include the disclosure in this Form 10-Q.

In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification (Codification). Effective July 1, 2009, the Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Codification is intended to reorganize, rather than change, existing GAAP. Accordingly, all references to currently existing GAAP have been removed and have been replaced with plain English explanations of the Fund's accounting policies. The adoption of the Codification did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial position or results of operations.
