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 partnership's investment in the operating partnership.  As such, 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 six months ended June 30, 2006.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2006
(Unaudited)

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Fund's taxable loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 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 Reserves and (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund has 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 September 30, 2006 were $616,635 and total fund management fees accrued as of September 30, 2006 were $23,381,245.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, there liabilities will be deferred until the Fund receives sales of refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships which will be used to satisfy there liabilities.  The Funds 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 September 30, 2006, an affiliate of the general partner of the fund advanced a total of $726,462 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.  A total of $3,167 was advanced during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Below is a summary, by series, of the total advances made to date.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Fund held limited partnership interests in 235 and 237 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 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 various asset management and reporting fees paid by the Operating Partnerships. The fund management fees incurred, net of reporting fees received, for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 for Series 15, Series 16, Series 17, Series 18 and Series 19 were $103,927, $122,395, $119,502, $85,623, and $100,839 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 made principally with a view towards realization of federal housing tax credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.

Series 15

As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 99.9%.  The series had a total of 66 properties September 30, 2006.  Out of the total, 65 were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the period ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Series 15 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(496,550) and $(1,103,473), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,620,685 and $1,674,878, respectively.

In an attempt to capitalize on the strong California real estate market, the Operating General Partner of Hidden Cove Apartments (Hidden Cove) entered into an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed in May 2003.  As part of the purchase agreement, the buyer is required to maintain the property as affordable housing through the end of the tax credit compliance period and to provide a recapture bond to avoid the recapture of the tax credits that have been taken.  Sale proceeds due to Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund I-Series 3 and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III-Series 15 were $1,572,368 and $136,352, respectively.  The majority of the sale proceeds were received by the Investment Partnerships in May 2003, and the balance was received in September 2003.  Of the proceeds received, $1,240,404 and $107,565, for Series 3 and Series 15, respectively, was distributed to the investors in July 2004.  This represented a per BAC distribution of $.430 and $.028 for Series 3 and 15, respectively. The total returned to the investors was distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor.  The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership.  The remaining proceeds total of $360,750 was paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial reimbursement of amounts payable to affiliates. The breakdown of the amount to be paid to BCAMLP is as follows: $10,000 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $50,000 represents the reimbursement of overhead and expenses incurred for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property; and $300,750 represents a partial payment of outstanding asset management fees due to BCAMLP.  At the time of the sale, the Operating General Partners retained some funds in an account in the name of the Operating Partnership to cover costs that would be incurred in the process of dissolving the Operating Partnership entity.  These funds were not fully utilized and the Investment Limited Partnershipshare of the remaining funds was paid in April 2005.  The totals received were $9,163 for Series 3 and $795 for Series 15.   The amounts have been added to each Series available reserves and were recognized in the gain on the sale of the property as of March 31, 2005.  Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the Investment Limited Partnership's 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 for Series 3 and $66,166 for Series 15.  Accordingly, the gain on the sale of the property was recorded by Series 3 and Series 15 of $1,535,521 and $28,992, respectively.  The gains recorded represented the proceeds received by the Investment Limited Partnership, net of their remaining investment balance, unreimbursed advances to the Operating Partnership and their share of the overhead and expense reimbursement. In the prior year, March 31, 2006, $3,990 and $46,010 for Series 15 and Series 3 respectively of the sales proceeds were refunded to BCAMLP to pay accrued asset management fees.

School Street I Limited Partnership (School Street Apts. I) is a 24-unit complex located in Marshall, Wisconsin.  The property has struggled with low occupancy for several years.  Throughout 2005, management took numerous steps to increase occupancy, including: decreasing the rent levels, eliminating water and sewer surcharges, initiating a resident referral program, replacing the site manager, and advertising in local publications. Management is currently placing flyers at local malls and other public facilities and is offering incentives of two months free rent plus an additional $100 off if a flyer is returned.  Management's leasing efforts started to take effect, with improved cash flow and increased occupancy over the first two quarters of 2006. However, a number of evictions due to non-payment of rent, caused a decrease in occupancy from 85% in the second quarter to 76% in the third quarter.  The average 2006 occupancy is 81%, compared to 74% in 2005. The property continues to expend cash; however, the 2006 deficit has improved over that of 2005. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are current. The current mortgage for this property matured in December 2004. The Operating General Partner was able to refinance the original mortgage with a four-year loan with the first two years requiring only monthly interest payments. In April 2005, the Special Limited Partner of the Operating Partnership agreed, on behalf of the Limited Partners of the Operating Partnership, that the Investment General Partner would supplement the Operating General Partner's funding of operating deficits by advancing necessary funds at quarterly intervals through the end of the 2006 compliance period.  The Investment General Partner's advances are limited to 25% of the Operating General Partner's documented operating deficit funding advances and will not exceed $25,000 in aggregate.  The Investment General Partner has advanced $5,025 to the property during the first and second quarter of 2006, bringing the total advances made by the Investment General Partner under this agreement to $7,775. Prior to the April 2005 agreement, the Investment General Partner had funded $107,076. Therefore, the total funding to date from the Investment General Partner is $114,851.

Beckwood Manor Eight Limited Partnership (Lakeside Apartments) is a 32-unit, senior property, located in Lake Village, Arkansas.  Occupancy through the third quarter for 2006 was 75%.  Despite low occupancy, the property operated above breakeven by generating cash through the third quarter of 2006. The low occupancy is due to a lack of qualified residents in the Lake Village area.  To increase rental traffic to the property, the management company has been advertising heavily in surrounding area newspapers.  A rental increase is going to be submitted for approval this year to go into effect in 2007. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payables are current.

Livingston Plaza, Limited (Livingston Plaza) is a 24-unit, family property located in Livingston, Texas.  Although it is located within the Hurricane Rita affected area; the property did not suffer any damages.  Instead, some residents displaced from the southern part of the state evacuated to Livingston and are living at the property.  USDA Rural Development has provided temporary rental assistance. However, the rental assistance only runs through September 2006. To retain these evacuees as residents, the site manager referred them to agencies providing assistance with apartment furnishing, and to potential employment opportunities.  Despite management's best efforts, most evacuees chose to return to their hometowns after a few months. Average occupancy for 2005 was 87%. Despite a 2006 year to date average occupancy of 75%. The property continues to operate at breakeven through the third quarter. This is due to a reduction in maintenance expenses.  The site manager decreased maintenance expenses by hiring a resident to do maintenance work at the property instead of hiring a contractor, which was more expensive. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payables are current. The Operating General Partner guarantee is unlimited in time and amount.

Osage Housing Associates Limited Partnership (Spring Creek Apartments II) is a 50-unit family property located in Derby, Kansas, a suburb of Wichita. The property expended ($24,650) in 2005 with an annual occupancy average of 92%.  The property averaged 96% through the third quarter 2006.  Based on the third quarter 2006 financials and occupancy reports, the property should breakeven by year-end. The Operating General Partner, MRV, Inc. funded operating deficits in 2005 despite an expired guarantee and has stated that they will continue to fund any deficits if applicable. The mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance are current.

Greentree Apartments Limited, (Sue-Ellen Apartments) is a 24-unit apartment complex for families located in Utica, OH. In 2005 the property had an occupancy rate of 75% and had a loss of cash in the amount of ($3,816). In the third quarter of 2006 the property reflected an occupancy rate of 76%. The Operating General Partner changed managing agents effective January 1, 2006 without prior approval of the Investment General Partner.  After investigating this matter, the previous management agent informed the Investment General Partner that they terminated their contract.  The new managing agent is working to resolve the vacancy problem by preparing all vacant units to be market ready and networking with local businesses for income qualified applicants. The Operating General Partner continues to fund deficiencies despite an expired guarantee.

In October 2004, while attempting to capitalize on the strong California real estate market, the Operating General Partner of California Investors VII (Summit Ridge Apartments/Longhorn Pavilion) entered into an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed in the first quarter of 2005.  As part of the purchase agreement, the buyer is required to maintain the property as affordable housing through the end of the tax credit compliance period, and to provide a recapture bond to avoid the recapture of the tax credits that have been taken.

Of the total received, $211,638 is for payment of outstanding reporting fees due to an affiliate of the Investment Partnership, $183,283 is a reimbursement of funds previously advanced to the Operating Partnership by affiliates of the Investment Partnership and $3,643,494 is the estimated proceeds from the sale of the Investment Limited Partner's interests.  Of the proceeds, $612,758, $206,285, $940,482, and $865,445, for Series 12, Series 14, Series 15, and Series 17, respectively, are estimated to be distributed to the investors, or used to pay non-resident tax withholdings requirements of the State of California.  This represents a per BAC distribution of $.206, $.037, $.243, and $.173, for Series 12, Series 14, Series 15, and Series 17, respectively.  Of the remaining proceeds of $643,691 were paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial reimbursement for amounts owed to affiliates.  The breakdown of amounts paid to BCAMLP is as follows: $51,250 represents the reimbursement of overhead and expenses incurred for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property; $88,274 represents a reimbursement of estimated expenses incurred in connection with the disposition; and $504,167 represents a partial payment of outstanding Asset Management Fees due to BCAMLP.  The remaining proceeds of $374,833 will be returned to cash reserves. 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 Partnerships. Losses on the sale of the property were recorded by Series 12, Series 14, Series 15 and Series 17 of $(2,113,352), $(690,791), $(3,046,179) and $(2,791,520), respectively, in the quarter ended March 31, 2005.  As of December 2005 additional sales proceeds of $99,080 were received and allocated to Series 12, Series 14, Series 15 and Series 17 as follows: $23,128 to Series 12, $7,786 to Series 14, $35,500 to Series 15 and $32,666 to Series 17.  These proceeds will be retained by the Investment Limited Partner to improve their reserve balances as well.  The gain/(loss) recorded represented the proceeds received by the Investment Limited Partner, net of their remaining investment balance, unreimbursed advances to the Operating Partnership and their share of the overhead and expense reimbursement. In the prior year, March 31, 2006, $11,964, $4,028, $18,362 and $16,897 for Series 12, Series 14, Series 15 and Series 17 respectively of the sales proceeds were refunded to BCAMLP to pay accrued Asset Management Fees.



Wood Park Pointe, RRH, Limited (Wood Park Pointe) is located in Arcadia, Florida.  The property was hit by multiple hurricanes in the late fall of 2004 resulting in the total loss of habitability to all 37 residential units. Rural Development is requiring that the project be rebuilt.  The Operating General Partner received insurance proceeds for reconstruction in January 2005. The proceeds were less than the anticipated rebuilding costs; however, the

Operating General Partner has secured increased rental amounts per Rural Development so that the property can sustain additional debt.  A contractor has been selected to rebuild the property. The anticipated construction completion date is October 2006 well before the required completion date of December 2006. The Investment General Partner entered into an agreement with the Operating General Partner for the transfer of the Investment Limited Partner's interest in Wood Park Pointe. The Operating General Partner will assume the outstanding mortgage balance of $1,136,402 and the additional debt for the construction of the property and cash proceeds to the Investment General Partner of $37,000. The sale is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2007. Of the anticipated proceeds to be received, $7,500 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $29,500 will be returned to cash reserves held by BCTC Fund III LP - 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 obligation 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.

Lake View Associates (Lake View Green Apartments) is a 24-unit property located in Lake View, SC.  Low occupancy, due to a lack of rental assistance has hindered this property's performance.  Occupancy, which averaged 79% in 2005, has averaged 83% through the third quarter of 2006.  Management continues to have difficulty finding residents that are able to pay the rental rates necessary to sustain the property.  Due to federal and state cutbacks, residents are not receiving the rental assistance payments that were expected when the property was originally underwritten.  Current operating expense levels are in line with the state average. Operations have yielded annualized cash expenditure of $189 per unit, approximately $4,500. The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current. The compliance period for the property ends in 2007.  The Operating General Partner's obligation to fund operating deficits is unlimited in time and amount.

Buena Vista Apartments, Phase II (Buena Vista Apartments) is a 44-unit property located in Union, SC.  Industrial decline in the area has led to a dwindling population base from which to draw qualified residents.  The property has had trouble competing with properties that receive rental assistance.  As a result, management has been forced to reduce rents to maintain occupancy.  The reasons for the cash flow deficit include fluctuating occupancy, insufficient rental rates and additional replacement reserve funding per the Rural Housing workout plan.  Throughout the third quarter of 2006, the property has maintained a 94% average occupancy.  Management will continue to market through local media and civic organizations and will continue to monitor the possibility of a rental increase.  Mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables to non-related entities are current. The Operating General Partner's guarantee is unlimited in time and amount, with the compliance period for this property ending in 2007.

Sioux Falls Housing Association One, LP (Country Meadows II) is a 55-unit property located in Sioux Falls, SD.  Occupancy levels have averaged 92% through the third quarter 2006. Previous cash flow deficits were the result of increased administrative expenses for marketing the property to achieve stabilization, utilities, and low occupancy through the first quarter 2006. The 2005 audited financials indicate that the replacement reserve account is fully funded according to requirements. The Operating General Partner continues to fund operating deficits despite an expired guarantee. The mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance are current.

Series 16

As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The series had a total of 62 properties at September 30, 2006, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

Cass Partners, LP (The Fitzgerald Building) is a 20-unit apartment building located in Plattsmouth, NE.  This property continues to operate below break even due to low occupancy.  Through the third quarter of 2006 physical occupancy was 36%.  Due to the lack of cash flow, management has not been able to make ready the vacant apartments, which are in need of general maintenance and repairs, as well as updates to kitchen appliances.  Also affecting the marketing of the property is its downtown location, lack of parking and amenities such as washer/dryer hook-ups.  The Operating General Partner has taken the property management in-house with the objective of reducing operating expenses. In 2006 operating expenses decreased 37% mostly in administrative and maintenance expenses.  The taxes and insurance are current as of September 2006 and the mortgage is being paid one month behind schedule. Despite an expired operating deficit guaranty, the Operating General Partner has continued to fund operating deficits. However, the operating general partner has indicated that he will not be able to continue to fund deficits.  As a result, potential exit options are being explored with the Operating General Partner.

The management company currently maintains a significant waiting list of pre-qualified tenants waiting for rental assistance.  The Operating General Partner continues to monitor the Operating Partnership.

Losses on the sale of the property were recorded by Series 16 of $(108,072), in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The loss recorded represents the proceeds received by the Investment Limited Partner, net of their remaining investment balance. Accordingly, a loss on the sale of the Operating Partnership of the proceeds from the sale, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of ($23,530) as of March 31, 2006. At the time of the sale, the Operating General Partners retained some funds in an account in the name of the Operating Partnership to cover costs that would be incurred in the process of dissolving the Operating Partnership entity.  These funds were not fully utilized and the Investment Limited Partnership share of the remaining funds was paid in June 2006.  Accordingly, a gain was recorded for the total additional proceeds received in the amount of $2,521 as of June 30, 2006.

A 3% rent increase was approved by the state agency when current leases expire.  In 2006 it is estimated about 75% of the units will shift to the new rents.  This will increase revenues about $15,000 in 2006. The mortgage and taxes are current.

Summersville Estates (Summersville Estates Limited Partnership) is a 24-unit property located in Summersville, Missouri.  The property struggled in 2005, with an average occupancy of only 78% for the year.  This was largely due to a lack of rental assistance on four units.  The rent on these four units is more than the cost to rent many of the single family homes in the area.  Management has been in regular contact with the local housing authority to bring applicants with mobile vouchers to the property.  The property manager, who also performs maintenance, has concentrated on getting vacant units rent-ready in a timely manner and improving the curb appeal of the property.  As a result, occupancy through the third quarter of 2006 was 82%. The Investment General Partner will continue to work with Management on getting the vacant units leased and monitor operations closely until they have stabilized.  The mortgage, taxes and insurance are all current.

Greenfield Properties (Greenfield Properties, L.P.) is a 20-unit property located in Greenfield, Missouri. The property struggled to compete with single family home rentals in 2005, resulting in an average occupancy of only 85% for the year. In an effort to improve occupancy, Management is giving away a 27" television as incentive for signing a lease.  Management reports that occupancy as of September 2006 was 95% and the property is operating above breakeven. The Investment General Partner will continue to work with Management on maintaining improved occupancy and monitor operations closely until the property has stabilized.  The mortgage, taxes and insurance are all current.

Croix Commons Limited Partnership (St. Croix Commons Apartments) is a 40-unit, family property located in Woodville, Wisconsin.  The property operated with an average occupancy of 84% for the year 2005.  Based on the most recent information received occupancy has been consistent with the prior year through September 2006.  Operating expenses continue to stay below the state average. Because of the high vacancy rate and the low rental rates in the area, the property did not achieve breakeven operations through the third quarter 2006. The management agent continues to market the available units by working closely with the local housing authority and continues various marketing efforts to attract qualified residents.  The Operating General Partner continues to financially support the Operating Partnership.  The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current.

1413 Leavenworth Historic, L.P. (Lofts By The Market Apartments) is a 60-unit historic development located on the fringe of the historic warehouse district in downtown Omaha, Nebraska.  The property operated with positive cash flow through 1999, although unresolved tax credit compliance issues accumulated, including the receipt of 8823s.  Since 2000, ineffective management and the cost of repairing deferred maintenance items in 2002 resulted in the property operating with a substantial negative cash flow. The original developer/general partner is still in place and continues to fund the operating deficits.  Over the past three years, there have been four different management companies retained to manage the property.  This inconsistency contributed to the cash flow and compliance problems at the property.  On June 1, 2003, management of the property was transferred to Fieldcrest Management. Fieldcrest is an entity related to the Operating General Partner that was formed to take over the management of the Operating General Partner's assets. The Operating General Partner's close relationship with the managing agent has encouraged him to provide the resources and cooperation necessary to assure the management company's success in operating the property effectively. The management company has implemented expense controls and has worked to decrease payables.  Occupancy increased from 84% in the second quarter to 92% in the third quarter. The 2006-year to date occupancy is 90%. Despite the fluctuation in occupancy, the property is generating cash. The Investment Limited Partner will continue to monitor occupancy and cash flow.  The property refinanced at the beginning of September 2005 and paid down some payables from the proceeds of the refinance. Current tenant files have been audited for tax compliance standards and Management has found no violations. Prior year 8823s continue to be reviewed to determine if issues can still be addressed.

Sable Chase of McDonough L.P (Sable Chase) is a 225-unit property located in McDonough, GA. Occupancy fell to 81% in the fourth quarter of 2005 because of a highly competitive and overbuilt market saturated with move-in incentives. The property further suffered because of patchwork repairs performed on the roofs following tornado damage. In the second quarter of 2006, the Investment General Partner approved a substantial rehab of the roofs, funded from replacement reserves and insurance proceeds. Management anticipates that the new roofs will represent an aesthetic improvement that will help the property compete.  Occupancy in the third quarter 2006 is 80%. Despite generating $100,000 in 2005, the property stands to lose ($100,000) in 2006, largely due to an increase in marketing and pavement of the parking lot. The Operating General Partner's Guarantee is unlimited in time and amount, with the compliance period for this property ending in 2008.

Meadows of Southgate LDHA, is an 83 unit property located in Southgate, MI.  In 2005, the property suffered the effect of several new communities opening in the area, all offering lower rents with heavy concessions. In the second quarter of 2006, the rental market is beginning to stabilize; however, the rental market in this Michigan area still remains soft at times. The newly hired site manager is actively marketing the community in the surrounding areas and as a result more prospects are being attracted to the property. According to management, the property's occupancy should stabilize since the property is located in a convenient location. Average occupancy through third quarter 2006 was 80%. As a result of the low occupancy the property is operating with a slight deficit. The Operating General Partner continues to fund any operating deficits. The mortgage, taxes, and insurance are current.

Series 17

As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 99.7%.  The series had a total of 47 properties at September 30, 2006.  Out of the total 46 were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the period ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Series 17 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(642,700) and $(884,030), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,764,482 and $1,760,440, respectively.



In an attempt to capitalize on the strong California real estate market, the Operating General Partner of California Investors VI (Orchard Park) entered into an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed in June 2003.  As part of the purchase agreement, the buyer is required to maintain the property as affordable housing through the end of the tax credit compliance period, and to provide a recapture bond to avoid the recapture of the tax credits that have been taken.  Sale proceeds due to Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund I-Series 3 and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III-Series 17, after repayment of advances made to the Operating Partnership, were $453,144 and $31,790, respectively.  Of the proceeds received, $352,768 and $24,748, for Series 3 and Series 17, respectively, was distributed to the investors in July 2004. This represented a per BAC distribution of $.122 and $.005 for Series 3 and 17, respectively. The total returned to the investors was distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of the sale. The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership.  The remaining proceeds total of $107,418 was paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale, and partial reimbursement of amounts payable to affiliates. The breakdown of the amount paid to BCAMLP is as follows:  $10,000 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $50,000 represents the reimbursement of overhead and expenses incurred for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property; and $47,418 represents a partial payment of accrued asset management fees.  Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the Investment Limited Partnership's 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 for Series 3 and $28,682 for Series 17.  Accordingly, gains on the sale of the property were recorded as of March 31 2004 by Series 3 and Series 17 of $406,422 and $3,108, respectively.

The gains recorded represented the proceeds received by the Investment Limited Partnership, net of their remaining investment balance and their share of the overhead and expense reimbursement. In the prior year ended, March 31, 2006, $46,722 and $3,278 for Series 3 and Series 17, respectively, of the sales proceeds were refunded to BCAMLP to pay accrued asset management fees.

Midland Housing LP (Stratford Place Apartments) is a 53-unit, family/elderly property, located in Midland, MI.   The average occupancy for this property has steadily increased.  In 2004 it was 79%; it improved to an average of 84% in 2005, and through June 2006, the occupancy averaged 89%.  If occupancy remains steady in 2006, the property should generate positive cash flow in 2006.  The Operating General Partner continues to fund any operating deficits. The mortgage, real estate taxes and insurance are current.

Green Acres Limited Partnership (Green Acres Estates) is a 48 unit (20 LIHTC units) family property located in West Bath, ME.  The final year of tax credits was 2004 and the LIHTC compliance period runs through 2008.  The property was placed on watch effective January 2006 when the 2005 audit revealed the property expended $194 per unit, due to bad debt expenses, which amounted to $202 per unit.  This expenditure was funded through the use of cash held in the partnership operating account. Occupancy, which averaged 93% in 2005, has averaged 91% through the third quarter of 2006.  The Investment Limited Partner will continue to monitor collections and work with management and the Operating General Partner to implement a more effective resident screening and collections policy.  All taxes, insurance, and mortgage payments are current.  The Operating General Partner's obligation to fund operating deficits is unlimited in time and amount.

Palmetto Properties Ltd. (Palmetto Villas) is a 49-unit property located in Palmetto, Florida has historically suffered from low occupancy and significant deferred operation issues.  Occupancy improved during 2005, and continues to be strong in 2006 averaging 91% through the third quarter.  The property operated below breakeven in 2005, despite the occupancy improvement, due to an increase in operating expenses.  Utility expenses increased reflecting the increase in water and sewer fees.  Administrative costs also rose from prior year due to an increase in salaries.  Lack of cash flow is also responsible for the reserves being below average.  In September 2005, Rural Development completed a re-amortization of the debt, combining the previously vouched taxes, thus easing the burden of the monthly debt service payments.  The resulting annual cost savings is approximately $20,000. With the savings, management intends to fully fund the replacement reserve account and correct deferred maintenance issues.  Management has focused on funding the tax and insurance escrow to avoid any further delinquencies in paying the property taxes.  Management requested and received a rent increase of $35 per unit per month, which was effective January 1, 2006.  As a result of the increased revenues and the cost savings realized in the debt service, the Fund is operating above breakeven through the third quarter of 2006.  The management company has submitted a request to Rural Development for five additional units of rental assistance. The Operating General Partner has executed documents to withdraw from the Fund.  The documents admit an affiliate of the Management Company as the new Operating General Partner in the Fund.  It is anticipated that Rural Development is expected to approve both the Operating General Partner transfer and the additional units of rental assistance by November of 2006.  The Investment General Partner continues to monitor the situation.

Aspen Ridge Apartments, L.P. (Aspen Ridge Apartments) is a 42-unit development located in Omaha, Nebraska.  The property operated with positive cash flow through 1999, although unresolved tax credit compliance issues accumulated, including the receipt of 8823s.   Since 2000, ineffective management and the cost of repairing deferred maintenance items in 2002 resulted in the property operating with a substantial negative cash flow. The original developer/general partner is still in place and continues to fund the operating deficits.  Over the past three years, there have been four different management companies retained to manage the property.  This inconsistency contributed to the cash flow and compliance problems at the property.  On June 1, 2003, management of the property was transferred to Fieldcrest Management. Fieldcrest is an entity related to the Operating General Partner that was formed to take over the management of the Operating General Partner's assets. The Operating General Partner's close relationship with the managing agent has encouraged him to provide the resources and cooperation necessary to assure the management company's success in operating the property effectively. As a result, occupancy for the third quarter of 2006 was 98%. Management has implemented expense controls and has worked to decrease payables.  The property also refinanced at the beginning of September 2005 and was able to pay some expenses from the proceeds of the refinance. The property is now reporting positive cash flow. Current tenant files have been audited for tax compliance standards and management has found no violations. Past 8823s are being reviewed to determine if any corrections can be made.

In October 2004, while attempting to capitalize on the strong California real estate market, the Operating General Partner of California Investors VII (Summit Ridge Apartments/Longhorn Pavilion) entered into an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed in the first quarter of 2005.  As part of the purchase agreement, the buyer is required to maintain the property as affordable housing through the end of the tax credit compliance period, and to provide a recapture bond to avoid the recapture of the tax credits that have been taken.  The proceeds to the Investment Limited Partner received in the first quarter 2005 are $919,920, $312,959, $1,459,511, and $1,346,025, for Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund II-Series 12 and Series 14 (BCTC II) and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III-Series 15 and Series 17 (BCTC III), respectively. Of the total received, $211,638 is for payment of outstanding reporting fees due to an affiliate of the Investment Partnership, $183,283 is a reimbursement of funds previously advanced to the Operating Partnership by affiliates of the Investment Partnership and $3,643,494 is the estimated proceeds from the sale of the Investment Limited Partner's interests.  Of the proceeds, $612,758, $206,285, $940,482, and $865,445, for Series 12, Series 14, Series 15, and Series 17, respectively, are estimated to be distributed to the investors, or used to pay non-resident tax withholdings requirements of the State of California.  This represents a per BAC distribution of $.206, $.037, $.243, and $.173, for Series 12, Series 14, Series 15, and Series 17, respectively.  Of the remaining proceeds of $643,691 were paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial reimbursement for amounts owed to affiliates.  The breakdown of amounts paid to BCAMLP is as follows: $51,250 represents the reimbursement of overhead and expenses incurred for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property; $88,274 represents a reimbursement of estimated expenses incurred in connection with the disposition; and $504,167 represents a partial payment of outstanding Asset Management Fees due to BCAMLP.  The remaining proceeds of $374,833 will be returned to cash reserves. 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 Partnerships. Losses on the sale of the property were recorded by Series 12, Series 14, Series 15 and Series 17 of $(2,113,352), $(690,791), $(3,046,179) and $(2,791,520), respectively, in the quarter ended March 31, 2005.  As of December 2005 additional sales proceeds of $99,080 were received and allocated to Series 12, Series 14, Series 15 and Series 17 as follows: $23,128 to Series 12, $7,786 to Series 14, $35,500 to Series 15 and $32,666 to Series 17.  These proceeds will be retained by the Investment Limited Partner to improve their reserve balances as well.  The gain/(loss) recorded represented the proceeds received by the Investment Limited Partner, net of their remaining investment balance, unreimbursed advances to the Operating Partnership and their share of the overhead and expense reimbursement. In the prior year, March 31, 2006, $11,964, $4,028, $18,362 and $16,897 for Series 12, Series 14, Series 15 and Series 17 respectively of the sales proceeds were refunded to BCAMLP to pay accrued Asset Management Fees.

Shawnee Housing Associates Limited Partnership (Villa West South V) is a 52-unit development located in Topeka, KS.   The management company is an affiliate of the Operating General Partner. Occupancy has historically fluctuated and in 2005 the average occupancy was 90%. Occupancy has improved in 2006, averaging 94% in the third quarter. High maintenance expenses continue to contribute to the negative cash flow. The Operating General Partner continues to fund deficits despite an expired guarantee. The Investment Limited Partnership has been in discussions with the Operating General Partner to sell the property shortly after compliance ends in 2007.

Henson Creek Manor Associates Limited Partnership (Henson Creek Manor) is a 105-unit development located in Fort Washington, MD.  In December of 2004 a resident of the complex reported mold in windows of the unit. Inspection Connection was hired to inspect the unit in January 2005.  Their report confirmed high humidity levels and the presence of mold in 3 units.  Work orders were prepared for the maintenance staff to address moisture condensation and re-caulk the windows in those units.  The steps the maintenance staff took did not fully resolve the issue and a contractor was hired in October 2005 to install a pump system that would reduce the excess humidity in the units in an effort to stop mold growth.  On October 20, 2005 while the contractor was cutting into the floor to install the pump system, the steel beams that support the unit were cut causing structural issues to the units.  There were no injuries stemming from the collapse and the contractor's insurance company is covering the cost of repair.  An engineering company that deals with structural damage and mold remediation was hired in mid-March 2006.  It took management several months to find a company that deals with both issues.  The company has been working in the units and to date six units remain affected and vacant due to both the mold and structural damage.  The repairs will be completed by the first week of November 2006.The Investment General Partner continues to monitor the situation.

Brewer Street Apartments LP (West Oaks Apartments) is a 50 unit family development located in Raleigh, NC. The property operated at a deficit of ($7,609) in 2005.  The reasons for the loss include insufficient rental rates and high operating expenses, which exceeded the state average by 10% in 2005. Although occupancy averaged 98% in 2005, the property expended cash due to high operating costs.  The primary drivers of elevated operating expenses were maintenance and management fees. The 2005 deficit was covered by the under funding of the replacement reserve account and withdrawals from the replacement reserve for expensed improvements.  The Investment Limited Partnership alerted the Operating General Partner to the under funding of the reserve account, and proper funding promptly commenced in January of 2006.  Through the third quarter of 2006, occupancy has averaged 99%. The Investment Limited Partnership will monitor operating expenses closely in the fourth quarter of 2006. In June of 2006 the partnership accepted a "soft" preservation loan from the state of North Carolina, the proceeds of which are being used to rehabilitate the property, making it more competitive in the Raleigh affordable housing market and greatly reducing maintenance expenses.  The Investment Limited Partner will assess whether there is potential for a rent increase after rehabilitation work has been completed.  All real estate tax, insurance and mortgage payments remain current.  The Operating General Partner's obligation to fund operating deficits is unlimited in time and amount.









Series 18

As of September 30, 2006 and 2005 the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The series had a total of 34 properties at September 30, 2006, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the period ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Series 18 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(1,145,958) and $(873,159), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,357,618 and $1,298,650, respectively.

Series 18 has invested in 4 Operating Partnerships (the "Calhoun Partnerships") in which the Operating General Partner initially was Reimer Calhoun, Jr., or an entity, which was affiliated with or controlled by Reimer Calhoun (the "Reimer Calhoun Group").  The Operating Partnerships are: Leesville Elderly Apts., Lockport Elderly Apts., Natchitoches Elderly Apts., and Vivian Elderly Apts.  Lockport Elderly Apts. sustained major damage to shingles, roof vents and had water damage resulting from Hurricane Rita and Katrina.  Roof damage was covered by tarps. Missing shingles were replaced for $9,250. All repairs have been completed as of October 18, 2006. The deductible was not met and no insurance proceeds were received. The Investment General Partner is trying to ascertain how the Operating General Partner paid for repairs.  Natchitoches Elderly Apts. sustained minor damage to shingles and building gutters resulting from Hurricane Rita. All repairs for Natchitoches Elderly Apts. were completed on February 21, 2006 and were paid for out of operations. The affordable housing properties owned by the Calhoun Partnerships are located in Louisiana and consist of approximately 174 apartment units in total.  The low income housing tax credit available annually to Series 18 from the Calhoun Partnerships is approximately $523,397, which is approximately 11% of the total annual tax credit available to investors in Series 18.

In the summer of 2002, the US Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana notified the Investment General Partner that the Reimer Calhoun Group was under investigation by several federal agencies for the alleged manipulation of property cost certifications.  In early 2003, the Investment General

Partner learned that the US Attorney intended to bring criminal charges against certain members of the Reimer Calhoun Group for falsifying the certified cost basis upon which the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency determined the tax credit calculation with respect to approximately 40 Operating Partnerships in which Series 18 is not an investor.  The Investment

General Partner used these certifications in determining the tax credits investors would receive through their investment in the Calhoun Partnerships. In effect, it appears that the contractor that built the apartment properties (an affiliate of Mr. Calhoun's) overbilled the respective Operating

Partnerships, improperly inflating the cost certification and the amount of tax credit generated.

In late March, 2003, Reimer Calhoun, Jr. pleaded guilty to charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit equity skimming.  At that time, the Investment General Partner obtained $1,282,202 from Reimer Calhoun for the purpose of offsetting any potential losses to tax credits caused by Mr. Calhoun's fraud.



On September 25, 2003, judgment in a criminal case was entered against Reimer Calhoun, Jr. and TF Management, Inc.  On Count 1, alleging wire fraud, Reimer Calhoun, Jr. was sentenced to 60 months in the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons.  On Count 2, Mr. Calhoun received a concurrent 60 month sentence.  Mr. Calhoun's prison sentence began on October 13, 2003.  Mr. Calhoun was further fined $500,000 and ordered to pay restitution of $4,363,683 to various parties.  The amount of restitution ordered paid to the Investment General Partner was $1,559,723.  This amount includes the monies previously paid by Mr. Calhoun. The additional $277,521 was received in December 2003.  All monies received from the Calhoun settlement have been allocated back to the Operating Partnerships as of August 2005.



The Investment General Partner has cooperated fully with the US Attorney in the investigation, and there has been no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of it or any of its affiliates.

In 2003, the Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Calhoun Partnerships in order to determine the amount of overstated tax credits.  The Investment General Partner has reached a resolution with the IRS, so adjustments to tax credits will be made only for the tax years 2004 and later in order to avoid amending tax returns already filed for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003. Final Closing Agreements were entered into with the IRS for each of the partnerships on May 25, 2005. At this point, the Investment Partnerships have incurred substantial legal and accounting costs based upon Mr. Calhoun's fraud. It is further anticipated that the $1,559,723 will be sufficient to fully protect the investors and provide restitution to the Investment Partnerships affected.

With respect to each of the Calhoun Partnerships either (a) Reimer Calhoun's controlling interest in the Operating General Partner has been assigned to Murray Calhoun, the son of Reimer Calhoun or (b) in some cases the Operating General Partner entity itself has been replaced with a new entity controlled by Murray Calhoun and in which Reimer Calhoun has no interest.  Murray Calhoun is the principal of Calhoun Property Management, L.L.C., which has provided property level management services for the apartment properties owned by the Calhoun Partnerships.  Murray Calhoun also cooperated fully with the criminal investigation of his father, and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have confirmed directly with the US Attorney that no evidence was found of any wrongdoing on the part of Murray Calhoun.

Murray Calhoun and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have all undertaken discussions with the Rural Housing Service of the U.S.  Department

of Agriculture, in its capacity as first mortgage lender for each of the Calhoun Partnerships, to make sure that all of the mortgage loans are and will continue to be in good standing notwithstanding the overstated credit and the criminal prosecution.  Rural Housing Services has also indicated that it will consent to the replacement of general partners noted above.

In addition, Murray Calhoun and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have entered into agreements which (a) cause Murray Calhoun to guarantee performance of all of the obligations to limited partners previously

guaranteed by Reimer Calhoun, (b) tighten up the consent rights of the Investment General Partner in connection with changing general partners, management agents and partnership accountants, and (c) clarify the rights of the Investment General Partner to remove a general partner in the future in the event of certain various events.

Westminster Meadow L.D.H.A. LP (Westminster Meadow Apartments) is a 64-unit (63 LIHTC, 1 Market) property located in Grand Rapids, MI.  Historically the property has operated with high occupancy ranging in mid 90% and above break even.  However, in 2004 average occupancy declined to 85%, which resulted in operating deficits.  Occupancy levels through the fourth quarter of 2005 averaged 83%. In the first quarter 2006, average physical occupancy dropped to 78% and remained at the same level through the second quarter, however in third quarter physical occupancy dropped to 69%. The Operating General Partner has stated the market in Grand Rapids has been very soft since the beginning of 2004.  The Operating General Partner's management company, First Centrum Management took over the property management in February of 2006. First Centrum is working on implementing a new marketing plan to increase occupancy.  The plan includes an increase in their outreach marketing effort by hiring consultants to implement a new sales program.  The management company is also offering $126/month off scheduled rents, and $1 security deposits if prospective tenants move in within two weeks of application.  The site manager is also authorized to offer 1 month free rent to close a deal.   The current rent concessions make the one-bedroom units very competitive in the market place, which historically have commanded higher rents than older competing properties. The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current. The Operating General Partner continues to fund all operating deficits.

Glen Place Apartments (Glen Place Apartments) operated with an average occupancy of 92% through 2005. Based on the most recent information received occupancy through September 2006 has been consistent with the prior year average. The operating expenses continue to stay below the state average.  Despite the strong occupancy level, the low rental rates in the area prevented the property from achieving breakeven operations through the third quarter of 2006. The management agent continues to market the available units by working closely with the housing authority and continuing various marketing efforts to attract qualified residents.  The Operating General Partner continues to financially support the partnership.  The mortgage, taxes, insurance and payables are current.

Harris Housing Limited Partnership (Harris Music Building) is a property consisting of retail space and 38 units in West Palm Beach, Florida.  The rise in costs was a result of an increase in maintenance, insurance, and utility expenses. Throughout the third quarter of 2006, occupancy averages remain strong with an average of 97%. The third quarter unaudited financials show operating expenses have not continued to increase.  The Investment Limited Partner continues to work with property management to identify ways in which to lower operating costs.  The Operating General Partner's obligation to fund operating deficits has expired. Property mortgage, insurance, real estate taxes are current.  Replacement reserves are also adequately funded.  A site visit was performed in the second quarter 2006 and the property received an overall property score of 97%.  The final year of tax credit delivery was 2005 and the compliance period for the property ends in 2010.

Arch Development, LP, (Arch Apartments) is a 75-unit property located in Boston, Massachusetts providing low-income housing to homeless, HIV positive and very low income tenants.  Average occupancy through the third quarter of 2006 increased to 97% and the property continues to operate above breakeven.  Although payables and accrued expenses are lower than in previous years, the balances are still high, as are tenant and subsidy receivables.  As of September 30, 2006 the Operating General Partner has confirmed that water and sewer payments are current with the City of Boston and we are awaiting confirmation of payment of real estate taxes.  Management continues to work with the Boston Housing Authority to improve applicant processing and move-in; however the process is still averaging more than 60 days.  Additionally, the Boston Housing Authorities certification and recertification process is very slow and results in large tenant and subsidy receivables from retroactive rent changes.   Currently, the two vacant commercial spaces have not yet been leased.  In December 2005 the commercial spaces were appraised and the resulting report showed higher revenue potential than is currently being realized.  The Investment General Partner is closely monitoring the overall performance of this partnership and will continue to do so until operations have improved and stabilized. The Operating General Partner has an unlimited guarantee in time and amount.

Bear Creek of Naples (Bear Creek Apartments) is a 120-unit family development located in Naples, Florida.  The Management Company is a related entity to the Operating General Partner.  In late 2004, the Operating General Partner discovered mismanagement at the site level and took immediate steps to cure, including staffing changes.  During this process, it was discovered that the tax credit files were being inadequately kept.  The Investment General Partner dispatched its compliance department to conduct a full audit on all files, issuing a detailed report to the Operating General Partner.  The Operating General Partner subsequently hired a third-party tax credit compliance consultant to assist in the correction of all non-compliance issues.  The Investment General Partner has closely monitored the progress of this issue and all non-compliance issues have been addressed by the Florida housing agency's deadline of April 30, 2005.  On September 12, 2005, Florida Housing's monitoring agency completed an annual management review that noted the full compliance of the resident files.  However, they also noted minor physical violations, which had been ongoing and resulted in the issuance of ten 8823s rendering the entire development out of compliance.  Additionally, 24 days following the annual review and prior to the completion of the repair of the minor violations, Hurricane Wilma hit the development and resulted in extensive damage. In a letter dated February 28, 2006 from Florida Housing, the Finance Corporation stated that the property had been "granted relief" until January 17, 2007. As long as the related work is completed and inspected by that date, the 8823's will be rescinded. Insurance proceeds and available labor were delayed through the second quarter of 2006. Hurricane-related repairs were started in the third quarter of 2006 and are continuing into the fourth quarter. Despite the repair operations, occupancy averaged 93% through the third quarter of 2006.

Chelsea Square Development Limited Partnership (Chelsea Square Apartments) is a 6-unit property located in Chelsea, Massachusetts.  Although occupancy improved to 100% in the third and fourth quarters of 2005, the first quarter of 2006 saw a drop in average occupancy to 80% that further declined to 75% in the second and third quarters.  The commercial spaces are fully occupied and this revenue is sufficient to offset the loss of residential rental income and has enabled the property to breakeven. The Investment General Partner is closely monitoring the overall performance of this partnership and will continue to do so until operations have improved and stabilized. The property's mortgage and property insurance are current.  The Operating General Partner's operating deficit guarantee is unlimited as to time and amount.



Parvin's L.P. (Parvin's Branch Townhouses) is a 24-unit family property located in Vineland, New Jersey. Tax credit delivery began in 1993 and continued through 2003. The property operated below breakeven in 2005. The property expended cash due to high debt service (specifically high interest rate of 10.5%).  Operating expenses were in line with previous year state averages. Debt Service Payments represented 54% of the property's total income.  The average occupancy for 2005 was 98% and the property operated at a deficit of $26,054.  Occupancy is averaging 97% in 2006 and the property operated at a deficit of $64,489. The Operating General Partner continues to fund operating deficits.  Taxes, mortgage, and insurance are all current for this property.



Preston Wood Associates, LP is a 62-unit property located in Bentonville, Arkansas. Average occupancy was 78% for 2005 and as a result the property operated below breakeven. During the first quarter of 2006, problem residents were evicted and a miniature rehabilitation was begun.  The mini rehabilitation, which consists of $270,000 of capital improvements, will be completed by the end of 2006.  The improvements will be funded entirely by the Operating General Partner.  The Operating General Partner believes that Bentonville is a growing community and making the improvements to the property will increase occupancy and improve operations.  Due to the removal of problem residents and the plans to improve the property, occupancy levels increased in the second quarter to 68% and 79% during the third quarter. The Investment General Partner will continue to work with the Operating General Partner to stabilize the physical occupancy. The Operating General Partner continues to fund all operating deficits. The mortgage, accounts payable, property taxes, and insurance are all current.



Lathrop Properties, L.P. (Lathrop Properties) is a 24-unit property located in Lathrop, Missouri.  Average occupancy through the third quarter of 2006 was 87%. The property operated below breakeven due to high maintenance expense from unit turnovers. Currently an interim staff person from the regional office is managing the property.  The company is looking for a new full-time site manager and anticipates that focus on marketing and cost-containment by new staff will help stabilize the property. The Investment General Partner will continue to monitor occupancy and operations closely until they have stabilized.  The mortgage, taxes and insurance are all current.

Humboldt I, LP (Briarwood Apartments) is a 20-unit property located in Humboldt, IA.  The property operated below breakeven in 2005 due to low occupancy and high maintenance expenses related to resident turnover.  The Partnership complied with the Rural Development workout plan and funded reserves at a higher level in 2005.  Occupancy averaged 82% in 2005 and has improved to average 87% through September 30, 2006.  The challenges cited by Management include the inability to rent to full time students, competing senior developments that attract more traffic for one-bedroom units, past problem tenants that required eviction, and limitations due to the state of the local economy.  Historically, one-bedroom units have been the most difficult to fill at the property.  Management targets seniors for one-bedroom units through outreach with various housing programs.  Management relies heavily on word of mouth but also runs an ad for the property in a free weekly reminder that is distributed throughout town.  Traffic generated by these efforts is strong but the majority of potential residents do not pass initial background and income checks.  The property operated above breakeven before reserve deposits through September 30, 2006.  Representatives of the Operating General Partner visited the site during the fourth quarter of 2005 to meet with the management company and to consider a potential roof replacement.  The property has historically had problems with loose shingles.  In the third quarter of 2006, the Operating General Partner and Rural Development approved replacement of the west roof at Humboldt to be funded through a replacement reserve withdrawal.  The replacement of the two remaining roofs is planned for spring 2007.  Additionally, the Operating General Partner has been in contact with a non-profit organization, the National Affordable Housing Foundation, which has expressed a desire to assume the Operating General Partner interest in this Partnership.  The Investment General Partner is currently negotiating the transfer of interest and this transaction is expected to be complete by the end of 2006. Association with this Operating General Partner will benefit the Partnership, as they are a local presence and have a good working relationship with Rural Development, and the Iowa Finance Agency.  The Investment General Partner will continue to closely monitor the property until occupancy improves, operations stabilize, and the transfer of Operating General Partner interest is complete.

Marengo Park Apartments LP (Marengo Park Apartments) is a 24-unit property located in Marengo Park, IA.  The property operated above breakeven in 2005 but low occupancy in the first three quarters of 2006 resulted in considerable cash loss for year to date 2006.  As a result the property was unable to pay their September 2006 tax payment.  Average occupancy for 2006 was 68%.  Management attributes the large dip in occupancy to problem tenants at the property.  The police are called to the site frequently to deal with these tenants and over time, Marengo Park developed a poor reputation in the town.  In addition, an August 2006 inspection by Rural Development showed numerous deficiencies in the nine units that were vacant at the time; several of the units were not rent-ready.  Eight of these units had been vacant for at least four months with one sitting vacant for over a year.  A new site manager and maintenance technician was hired in mid-September 2006.  Management is working to remove the problem tenants and as of the end of the third quarter of 2006, the majority of these tenants had been evicted.  The new site manager prioritized making all units rent ready and as of the end of the third quarter of 2006, all vacant units were ready for move-in.  The Investment General Partner has been in contact with a non-profit organization, the National Affordable Housing Foundation (NAHF), which has expressed a desire to assume the Operating General Partner interest in this Partnership.  The Investment Limited Partner is currently negotiating the transfer of interest and this transaction is expected to be complete by the end of 2006.  Association with this Operating General Partner will benefit the Partnership, as they are a local presence and have a good working relationship with Rural Development, and the Iowa Finance Agency. The Investment General Partner will continue to closely monitor the property until occupancy improves, operations stabilize, and the transfer of Operating General Partner interest is complete.

Series 19

As of September 30, 2006 and 2005 the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%.  The series had a total of 26 properties at September 30, 2006, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the period ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Series 19 reflects net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(636,377) and $(759,276), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,314,541 and $1,388,095, respectively.

Series 19 has invested in 3 Operating Partnerships (the "Calhoun Partnerships") in which the Operating General Partner initially was Reimer Calhoun, Jr. or an entity, which was affiliated with or controlled by Reimer

Calhoun (the "Reimer Calhoun Group").  The Operating Partnerships are: Hebbronville Apts., Lone Star Seniors Apts., and Martindale Apts.  The

affordable housing properties owned by the Calhoun Partnerships are located in Texas and consist of approximately 68 apartment units in total.  The low income housing tax credit available annually to Series 19 from the Calhoun Partnerships is approximately $78,750, which is approximately 1% of the total annual tax credit available to investors in Series 19.

In the summer of 2002, the US Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana notified the Investment General Partner that the Reimer Calhoun Group was under investigation by several federal agencies for the alleged manipulation of property cost certifications.  In early 2003, the Investment General

Partner learned that the US Attorney intended to bring criminal charges against certain members of the Reimer Calhoun Group for falsifying the certified cost basis upon which the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency determined the tax credit calculation with respect to approximately 40 Operating Partnerships in which Series 18 is not an investor.  The Investment

General Partner used these certifications in determining the tax credits investors would receive through their investment in the Calhoun Partnerships. In effect, it appears that the contractor that built the apartment properties (an affiliate of Mr. Calhoun's) overbilled the respective Operating Partnerships, improperly inflating the cost certification and the amount of tax credit generated.

In late March, 2003, Reimer Calhoun, Jr. pleaded guilty to charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit equity skimming.  At that time, the Investment General Partner obtained $1,282,202 from Reimer Calhoun for the purpose of offsetting any potential losses to tax credits caused by Mr. Calhoun's fraud.



On September 25, 2003, judgment in a criminal case was entered against Reimer Calhoun, Jr. and TF Management, Inc.  On Count 1, alleging wire fraud, Reimer Calhoun, Jr. was sentenced to 60 months in the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons.  On Count 2, Mr. Calhoun received a concurrent 60 month sentence.  Mr. Calhoun's prison sentence began on October 13, 2003.  Mr. Calhoun was further fined $500,000 and ordered to pay restitution of $4,363,683 to various parties.  The amount of restitution ordered paid to the Investment General Partner was $1,559,723.  This amount includes the monies previously paid by Mr. Calhoun. The additional $277,521 was received in December 2003.  All monies received from the Calhoun settlement have been allocated back to the Operating Partnerships as of August 2005.



The Investment General Partner has cooperated fully with the US Attorney in the investigation, and there has been no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of it or any of its affiliates.

In 2003, the Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Calhoun Partnerships in order to determine the amount of overstated tax credits.  The Investment General Partner has reached a resolution with the IRS, so adjustments to tax credits will be made only for the tax years 2004 and later in order to avoid amending tax returns already filed for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003. Final Closing Agreements were entered into with the IRS for each of the partnerships on May 25, 2005. At this point, the Investment Partnerships have incurred substantial legal and accounting costs based upon Mr. Calhoun's fraud. It is further anticipated that the $1,559,723 will be sufficient to fully protect the investors and provide restitution to the Investment Partnerships affected.

With respect to each of the Calhoun Partnerships either (a) Reimer Calhoun's controlling interest in the Operating General Partner has been assigned to

Murray Calhoun, the son of Reimer Calhoun or (b) in some cases the Operating General Partner entity itself has been replaced with a new entity controlled by Murray Calhoun and in which Reimer Calhoun has no interest.  Murray Calhoun is the principal of Calhoun Property Management, L.L.C., which has provided property level management services for the apartment properties owned by the Calhoun Partnerships.  Murray Calhoun also cooperated fully with the criminal investigation of his father, and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have confirmed directly with the US Attorney that no evidence was found of any wrongdoing on the part of Murray Calhoun.

Murray Calhoun and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have all undertaken discussions with the Rural Housing Service of the U.S.  Department

of Agriculture, in its capacity as first mortgage lender for each of the Calhoun Partnerships, to make sure that all of the mortgage loans are and will continue to be in good standing notwithstanding the overstated credit and the criminal prosecution.  Rural Housing Services has also indicated that it will consent to the replacement of general partners noted above.

In addition, Murray Calhoun and the Investment General Partner and its affiliates have entered into agreements which (a) cause Murray Calhoun to guarantee performance of all of the obligations to limited partners previously guaranteed by Reimer Calhoun, (b) tighten up the consent rights of the Investment General Partner in connection with changing general partners, management agents and partnership accountants, and (c) clarify the rights of the Investment General Partner to remove a general partner in the future in the event of certain various events.

Carrollton Villa, L.P.  (Meadow Ridge Apartments) located in Carrollton, Missouri, has historically operated below breakeven as a result of low occupancy and very low rent levels.  Occupancy at the property averaged 70% in 2005 and 86% through the third quarter of 2006.  The primary problem is that Carrolton, Missouri, has experienced significant economic decline.  All of the major employers have relocated and rent decreases were required to attract potential residents.  The property has also suffered from a poor reputation in the community.  In October 2005, Cohen Esrey, the property manager stepped in as Operating General Partner.  Upon the transfer of the Operating General Partners interest, the lender provided the property with grants in the amount of $75,000 for capital improvement needs.  In the first quarter of 2006, management began the capital improvement plan that included painting all exterior doors, replacing shutters, installing new flag poles and other items that helped improve the property's curb appeal.  The capital improvements were completed in May 2006. The new Operating General Partner also changed the property's name to Meadow Ridge Apartments in an effort to distance the property from its poor reputation.  In an effort to improve occupancy, the property offered one-month free rent for a new resident as well as one-month free rent for resident referrals.  They expanded their outreach and advertising to attract potential residents from bordering communities.  As a result, occupancy improved significantly in the third quarter to 98%.  The property has also received an additional grant of $40,000 from the state to enable the property to reduce the rent for the residents but not lose any income.  Upon transfer of the Operating General Partner interests, the mortgage became a cash flow only mortgage, which has helped in significantly reducing the negative cash flow.  The taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current.

Forest Associates Limited (Sharon Apartments) is a 24-unit apartment complex for families locates in Forest, OH. In 2005 the property had an occupancy rate of 88%. In the third quarter of 2006 the property reflected an occupancy rate of 83%. The Operating General Partner changed managing agents effective January 1, 2006 without the approval of the Investment General Partner.  After investigating the change, the previous managing agent informed the Investment General Partner that they terminated the contract.  The new managing agent is working to make all vacant units market ready and is networking with local businesses to attract income qualified applicants.  The Operating General Partner continues to fund deficiencies despite an expired guarantee.

Jeremy Associates, LP (Coopers Crossing Apartments) is a 93-unit family development located in Las Colinas, Texas.  Average occupancy through the third quarter of 2006 was 95%. The property is operating below breakeven due to high operating costs.  The property experiences high operating costs attributed to foundation and stress cracks identified in an engineer's report conducted in 2003.  The report revealed foundation movement in five buildings. Between 2001 and 2003 a total of $61,310 in foundation work was completed.  In 2004 capital expenditures reflect monies for immediate repair to rebuild three stair towers and two landings related to foundation movement at total cost of $23,140; metal perimeter fence repair on the west side of the community that re-braced due to ground movement and car damage at total cost of $5,290 were completed in March 2004.  Other capital work consisted of carpet replacements, vinyl replacement, boiler repairs, a new heat exchanger and swimming pool repair work related to code changes. The overall estimate to complete the foundation work and address the interior issues as a result of the movement was estimated at $170,000.  Several emergency repairs were needed to rebuild three deteriorating stair towers, resulting from foundation movement.  The Operating General Partner continues to monitor movement in the five buildings identified in the engineer's report and address the issues as they presented. In 2006, $111,300 in repairs was included in the budget to address the structural issues, however to date the high operating expenses are not allowing for the cash to be available to make the improvements.  A soil test was completed in September and once the results from the soil test are received, the Operating General Partner will determine what course of action needs to be taken to fix the shifting buildings.  The Operating General Partner has stated they will fund the cost of necessary repairs to the foundations and buildings once the proper course of action is determined.  The Investment General Partner continues to visit the property and review the work completed to date. Discussions regarding the future improvements with the Operating General Partner are on going. The Investment General Partner will continue to work with the Operating General Partner through the completion of the improvements and the reduction of the operating expenses. The mortgage, trade payables, property taxes and insurance are current.

Munford Village, Ltd. (Munford Village) is a 24-unit family project in Munford, AL. The economy has declined due to a loss of industry causing additional competition in the market.  Lower than anticipated rents, rental concessions, and rental delinquency have resulted in low economic occupancy.  Physical occupancy continues to fluctuate and the property experienced an average of 86% physical occupancy throughout the third quarter 2006.  The current rent levels coupled with current concessions is not allowing the property to break even.  Management has implemented a more stringent resident selection plan and is working to minimize delinquency.  The property's mortgage is current and the replacement reserve is adequately funded.  However, the tax and insurance escrow account was under funded by $8,853, with insufficient cash to cover the accrued tax liability.  The operating deficit is being funded with a cash overdraft, which is currently at $12,290. The bank allows an overdraft in an unlimited amount and for an unlimited period without interest charges.  The operating deficit guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. The property's compliance period ends in 2009.

Tanglewood Park (Willowood Park, LP) is a 130-unit family development located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, approximately 26 miles from downtown Atlanta.  Occupancy suffered in the overheated competition of the Georgia market, hitting a low of 78% in July 2005. Consequently, the property expended ($82,590) in 2005 as revenue fell and the property increased spending on turnover and marketing. The related-party management company hired a Vice President of Marketing and this property is one of six on a high priority list. Marketing efforts included outreach at job fairs and visitations with local employers. The company also targeted low-risk evacuees from Hurricane Katrina. Since executing this plan, occupancy rose, averaging 90% in the first three-quarters of 2006 and currently 90% as of September 2006. Rental income in 2006 has risen by 13% over 2005. The Operating General Partner has continued to fund this property, with $158,718 in advances made to date, and taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current.

Martindale Apartments (Martindale Apartments, Ltd.) is a 24-unit development located in Martindale, TX. Occupancy averaged 96% during 2005. During the first three-quarters of 2006, occupancy has averaged 95%. The unaudited financial statements show a moderate decrease in operating expenses which has caused the property to produce positive cash flow. High expenses have been a problem in the past with Martindale Apartments and will require continued monitoring to ensure stabilized operations.  The Operating General Partner has an operating deficit guarantee, which is unlimited in time and amount.

Hebbronville Senior (Hebbronville Apartments, Ltd.) is a 20-unit development located in Hebbronville, TX. In the first quarter of 2006 occupancy remains excellent at 100% however rents are stagnant and expenses are higher than state averages. The Operating General Partner was able to secure rent increases at the property. On February 1, 2006 rents on one-bedroom units increased from $431 to $468 and two bedroom units increased from $508 to $555.  According to the unaudited financial statements, the property has produced $7,198 of positive cash flow during the second and third quarters of 2006. The property has sustained high occupancy, averaging 99%, income has increased and expenses are below state average. If the property continues to sustain high occupancy levels and maintains below state average expenses then 2006-year end will see positive cash flow. The Operating General Partner has an operating deficit guarantee, which is unlimited in time and amount.





The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the Fund to make certain estimates and assumptions.  A summary of significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to the financial statements.  The following section is a summary of various 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 is 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.

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 the reduction in equity in loss of investment of limited partnerships.

As of March 31, 2004, the Fund adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46 - Revised ("FIN46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46R provides guidance on when a company 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. 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 absorbs the majority of the entity's expected losses, the majority of the expected returns, or both.



Based on the guidance of FIN 46R, 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 under FIN 46R, 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 sheet, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statement 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 properties as well as the strength of the local general partners and their guarantee against credit recapture.
