                   NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Unaudited)



The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with the
Partnership's Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2006. In the opinion of
the Managing General Partner, these financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the Partnership's financial position and results of operations.
The results of operations for the periods may not be indicative of the results
to be expected for the year.

The Managing General Partner of the Partnerships has elected to report results
of the Local Limited Partnerships on a 90 day lag basis because the Local
Limited Partnerships report their results on a calendar year basis. Accordingly,
the financial information of the Local Limited Partnerships that is included in
the accompanying financial statements is as of June 30, 2006 and 2005.


1.   Investments in Local Limited Partnerships


The Partnership has limited partnership interests in fourteen Local Limited
Partnerships which were organized for the purpose of owning and operating
multi-family housing complexes, all of which are government-assisted. The
Partnership's ownership interest in each Local Limited Partnership is generally
99%, except for Huguenot Park and Westgate where the Partnership's ownership
interests are 88.55% and 49.5% respectively. The Partnership may have negotiated
or may negotiate options with the Local General Partners to purchase or sell the
Partnership's interests in the Local Limited Partnerships at the end of the
Compliance Period at nominal prices. In the event that Local Limited
Partnerships are sold to third parties or upon dissolution of the Local Limited
Partnerships, proceeds will be distributed according to the terms of each Local
Limited Partnership agreement.

The following is a summary of investments in Local Limited Partnerships at
September 30, 2006:

1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships (continued)


For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Partnership advanced $25,539 to
one of the Local Limited Partnerships, all of which was reimbursed. In addition,
$106,457 was also reimbursed from a Local Limited Partnership relating to
advances made in previous years. The Partnership has also recorded a valuation
allowance for its investments in certain Local Limited Partnerships in order to
appropriately reflect the estimated net realizable value of these investments.

The Partnership's share of the net losses of the Local Limited Partnerships for
the six months ended September 30, 2006 is $1,043,427. For the six months ended
September 30, 2006, the Partnership has not recognized $723,566 of equity in
losses relating to Local Limited Partnerships where cumulative equity in losses
and distributions exceeded its total investment in these Local Limited
Partnerships. Previously unrecognized losses of $6,717 were included in losses
recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2006.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Certain matters discussed herein constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
Partnership intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe
harbor provisions for forward-looking statements and is including this statement
for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Although the
Partnership believes the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, the Partnership can give no assurance that its expectations will be
attained. Actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially
from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to
a number of factors, including, without limitation, general economic and real
estate conditions and interest rates.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Partnership's accounting policies include those that relate to its
recognition of investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method
of accounting. The Partnership's policy is as follows:


The Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership invests are Variable
Interest Entities ("VIE"s). The Partnership is involved with the VIEs as a
non-controlling limited partner equity holder. Because the Partnership is not
the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, it accounts for its investments in the
Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting. As a result of
its involvement with the VIEs, the Partnership's exposure to economic and
financial statement losses is limited to its investments in the VIEs ($5,480,631
at September 30, 2006). The Partnership may be subject to additional losses to
the extent of any financial support that the Partnership voluntarily provides in
the future. Under the equity method, the investment is carried at cost, adjusted
for the Partnership's share of net income or loss and for cash distributions
from the Local Limited Partnerships; equity in income or loss of the Local
Limited Partnerships is included currently in the Partnership's operations.
Under the equity method, a Local Limited Partnership investment will not be
carried below zero. To the extent that equity in losses are incurred when the
Partnership's carrying value of the respective Local Limited Partnership has
been reduced to a zero balance, the losses will be suspended and offset against
future income. Income from Local Limited Partnerships, where cumulative equity
in losses plus cumulative distributions have exceeded the total investment in
Local Limited Partnerships, will not be recorded until all of the related
unrecorded losses have been offset. To the extent that a Local Limited
Partnership with a carrying value of zero distributes cash to the Partnership,
that distribution is recorded as income on the books of the Partnership and is
included in "other revenue" in the accompanying financial statements.

The Partnership has implemented policies and practices for assessing
other-than-temporary declines in values of its investments in Local Limited
Partnerships. Periodically, the carrying values of the investments are compared
to their respective fair values. If an other-than-temporary decline in carrying
value exists, a provision to reduce the asset to fair value, as calculated based
primarily on remaining tax benefits, will be recorded in the Partnership's
financial statements. Generally, the carrying values of most Local Limited
Partnerships will decline through losses and distributions in amounts sufficient
to prevent other-than-temporary impairments. However, the Partnership may record
similar impairment losses in the future if the expiration of tax credits
outpaces losses and distributions from any of the Local Limited Partnerships.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At September 30, 2006, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
$8,174,462, compared with $3,567,799 at March 31, 2006. The increase is
primarily attributable to proceeds received from the sale of investments in
Local Limited Partnerships, the maturity of investment securities, cash
distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships, and the reimbursement of
advances to Local Limited Partnerships.

The Managing General Partner initially designated 4% of the Gross Proceeds as
Reserves as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The Reserves were established
to be used for working capital of the Partnership and contingencies related to
the ownership of Local Limited Partnership interests. The Managing General
Partner may increase or decrease such Reserves from time to time, as it deems
appropriate. At September 30, 2006, approximately $1,865,000 of cash and cash
equivalents has been designated as Reserves.

To date, professional fees relating to various Property issues totaling
approximately $276,000 have been paid from Reserves. To date, Reserve funds in
the amount of approximately $128,000 have also been used to make additional
capital contributions to one Local Limited Partnership. In the event a Local
Limited Partnership encounters operating difficulties requiring additional
funds, the Partnership's management might deem it in its best interest to
voluntarily provide such funds in order to protect its investment. As of
September 30, 2006, the Partnership has advanced approximately $489,000 to Local
Limited Partnerships to fund operating deficits.


The Managing General Partner believes that the investment income earned on the
Reserves, along with cash distributions received from Local Limited
Partnerships, to the extent available, will be sufficient to fund the
Partnership's ongoing operations. Reserves may be used to fund Partnership
operating deficits, if the Managing General Partner deems funding appropriate.
If Reserves are not adequate to cover the Partnership's operations, the
Partnership will seek other financing sources including, but not limited to, the
deferral of Asset Management Fees paid to an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner or working with Local Limited Partnerships to increase cash
distributions.


Since the Partnership invests as a limited partner, the Partnership has no
contractual duty to provide additional funds to Local Limited Partnerships
beyond its specified investment. Thus, at September 30, 2006, the Partnership
had no contractual or other obligation to any Local Limited Partnership which
had not been paid or provided for.


Cash Distributions


No cash distributions were made during the six months ended September 30, 2006.


Results of Operations


Three Month Period

The Partnership's results of operations for the three months ended September 30,
2006 resulted in net income of $1,334,879 as compared to a net loss of $466,691
for the same period in 2005. The increase in net income is primarily
attributable to an increase in gain on sale of investments in Local Limited
Partnerships, a decrease in provision for valuation allowance on investments in
Local Limited Partnerships, and an increase in investment revenue. These effects
were partially offset by an increase in equity in losses of Local Limited
Partnerships. The increase in gain on sale of investments in Local Limited
Partnerships is the result of a gain on sale related to the sale of one Local
Limited Partnership during the current quarter. The decrease in provision for
valuation allowance on investments is due to the Partnership recording an
impairment allowance for its investments in certain Local Limited Partnerships
during the three months ending September 30, 2005. The increase in investment
revenue is primarily

Results of Operations (continued)

attributable to an increase in invested balances between the two periods arising
from the Partnership's sale of properties subsequent to September 30, 2005.
Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships increased due to an increase in
losses of Local Limited Partnerships actually recognized by the Partnership.

Six Month Period

The Partnership's results of operations for the six months ended September 30,
2006 resulted in net income of $1,694,325 as compared to a net loss of $917,329
for the same period in 2005. The increase in net income is primarily
attributable to an increase in gain on sale of investments in Local Limited
Partnerships, a decrease in provision for valuation of investments in Local
Limited Partnerships, a decrease in provision for valuation of advances to Local
Limited Partnerships, and an increase in investment revenue. The increase in
gain on sale of investments in Local Limited Partnerships is the result of a
gain on sale related to the sale of two Local Limited Partnerships during the
six months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in provision for valuation
allowance on investments is due to the Partnership recording an impairment
allowance for its investments in certain Local Limited Partnerships during the
six months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in provision for valuation of
advances to Local Limited Partnerships is the result of an increase in
reimbursements of advances made to Local Limited Partnerships during the six
months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in investment revenue is primarily
attributable to an increase in invested balances arising from the Partnership's
sale of properties subsequent to September 30, 2005.


Portfolio Update


The Partnership was formed on June 16, 1989 under the laws of the State of
Massachusetts for the primary purpose of investing, as a limited partner, in
Local Limited Partnerships, some of which own and operate apartment complexes
benefiting from some form of federal, state or local assistance, and each of
which qualifies for low-income housing tax credits. The Partnership's objectives
are to: (i) provide current tax benefits in the form of tax credits which
qualified investors may use to offset their federal income tax liability; (ii)
preserve and protect the Partnership's capital; (iii) provide limited cash
distributions which are not expected to constitute taxable income during
Partnership operations; and (iv) provide cash distributions from sale or
refinancing transactions. The General Partners of the Partnership are Arch
Street VIII, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, which serves as the Managing
General Partner, and Arch Street V Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts Limited
Partnership whose general partner consists of Arch Street V, Inc., which also
serves as the Initial Limited Partner. Both of the General Partners are
affiliates of MMA. The fiscal year of the Partnership ends on March 31.

As of September 30, 2006, the Partnership's investment portfolio consisted of
limited partnership interests in fourteen Local Limited Partnerships, each of
which owns and operates a multi-family apartment complex and each of which has
generated Tax Credits. Since inception, the Partnership has generated Tax
Credits, net of recapture, of approximately $1,513 per Limited Partner Unit,
with an immaterial amount of Tax Credits expected to be generated from 2006
through 2008. The aggregate amount of Tax Credits generated by the Partnership
is consistent with the objectives specified in the Partnership's prospectus.

Properties that receive low income housing Tax Credits must remain in compliance
with rent restriction and set-aside requirements for at least 15 calendar years
from the date the property is placed in service. Failure to do so would result
in the recapture of a portion of the property's Tax Credits. Between 2006 and
continuing through 2008, the Compliance Periods of the fourteen Properties in
which the Partnership has an interest will expire. The Managing General Partner
has negotiated agreements that will ultimately allow the Partnership to dispose
of its interest in six Local Limited Partnerships. It is unlikely that the
disposition of any of these six Local Limited Partnership interests

Portfolio Update (continued)

will generate any material cash distributions to the Partnership. Two of the
Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership had an interest was disposed
of during the six months ended September 30, 2006.

The Managing General Partner will continue to closely monitor the operations of
the Properties during the Compliance Periods and will formulate disposition
strategies with respect to the Partnership's remaining Local Limited Partnership
interests. It is unlikely that the Managing General Partner's efforts will
result in the Partnership disposing of all of its remaining Local Limited
Partnership interests concurrently with the expiration of each Property's
Compliance Period. The Partnership shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound
up upon the disposition of the final Local Limited Partnership interest and
other assets of the Partnership. Investors will continue to be Limited Partners,
receiving K-1s and quarterly and annual reports, until the Partnership is
dissolved.

On or about July 13, 2004, Park G.P., Inc. ("Park") commenced litigation against
Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. IV ("QH IV") and its
purported general partners (collectively, the "Defendants") in Clay County,
Missouri, claiming that the Defendants breached QH IV's partnership agreement
and their fiduciary duties owed to Park by, among other things, failing to
permit inspection of certain alleged "books and records" of QH IV. On or about
October 7, 2004, Park sought leave of the court to amend its Petition to include
claims for inspection of the alleged "books and records" against the
Partnership, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Limited Partnership, Boston
Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. II, Boston Financial Qualified
Housing Tax Credits L.P. III, Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund Plus, A Limited
Partnership, Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund VII, A Limited Partnership, and
their purported general partners (collectively, the "New Defendants"). On or
about October 8, 2004, Park moved the court for entry of a temporary restraining
order compelling the Defendants and the New Defendants to turn over the alleged
"books and records" in conjunction with a transaction Park was proposing
entering into. On October 12, 2004, the court denied Park's request for a
temporary restraining order, and on November 15, 2004 it granted the request to
amend the Petition.

In October, 2005, Park again sought leave of the court in the Missouri action to
amend its Petition, claiming that the Defendants were in violation of the
Partnership Agreement by disposing of interests in Local Limited Partnerships
following expiration of the Compliance Period(s) without first obtaining Limited
Partner consent. On or about October 11, 2005, Park moved the court for a
temporary restraining order prohibiting the Defendants from entering into any
agreement to sell, transfer, or otherwise convey any interest in Local Limited
Partnerships. On October 14, 2005, the court denied Park's request for a
temporary restraining order. In December 2005, the court granted Park's request
to amend its Petition to include the alleged claim regarding disposition of
Local Limited Partnership interests. The Defendants and New Defendants have
filed a motion to dismiss the second amended petition. The motion to dismiss has
not yet been decided. The originally scheduled final hearings in August and
October 2006 were adjourned at the request of the parties as discussions
concerning a possible negotiated resolution of the matter are ongoing. If a
settlement is not reached, the final hearing likely will take place in December
2006 or January 2007.

The Defendants and the New Defendants maintain that Park is not entitled to
review the materials requested and/or use the materials in secondary market
transactions because, among other things: (i) they are not "books and records"
of the Partnerships; (ii) Park does not seek to review them for a proper
purpose; and (iii) selective disclosure of the information to Park would give it
an unfair informational advantage in secondary market transactions and may
violate federal and/or state securities laws. The Defendants and New Defendants
accordingly intend on defending against the claims vigorously. The Defendants
and New Defendants have not formed an opinion that an unfavorable outcome is
either probable or remote, and their counsel refrains from expressing an opinion
as to the likely outcome of the case or the range of any loss.

Portfolio Update (continued)

On August 24, 2004, the Partnership, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Limited
Partnership, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. II, Boston
Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. III, Boston Financial Qualified
Housing Tax Credits L.P. IV, Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund Plus, A Limited
Partnership, Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund VII, A Limited Partnership, and
Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund VIII, A Limited Partnership (collectively, the
"Partnerships"), and their general partners commenced litigation against Everest
Housing Investors 2, LLC ("Everest 2") and several other Everest-related
entities (collectively, the "Everest Entities") in Massachusetts state court,
seeking a declaratory judgment that certain materials the Everest Entities
sought to inspect are not "books and records" of the Partnerships and that the
Everest Entities are in any case not entitled to inspect said information under
applicable partnership agreements, partnership law or otherwise. On October 7,
2004, the Everest Entities filed an answer and counterclaim against the
Partnerships and their purported general partners, claiming that they breached
applicable partnership agreements, partnership law and their fiduciary duties to
the Everest Entities by failing to make the purported "books and records"
available. On January 12, 2005, the Partnerships and the general partners moved
to amend their complaint to, among other things, add a claim based on Everest
2's breach of a November 24, 2003 letter agreement which compelled Everest 2 to
keep confidential certain information contemporaneously disseminated by four of
the Partnerships to Everest 2. The Court granted this Motion. Discovery is
continuing in this matter, but no activity has taken place in recent months as
the parties have been discussing whether a negotiated resolution of the matter
is possible.

The Partnerships and their general partners maintain that the Everest Entities
are not entitled to review the materials requested and/or use the materials in
secondary market transactions because, among other things: (i) they are not
"books and records" of the Partnerships; (ii) the Everest Entities do not seek
to review them for a proper purpose; and (iii) selective disclosure of the
information to the Everest Entities would give them an unfair informational
advantage in secondary market transactions and may violate federal and/or state
securities laws. The Partnerships and their general partners have not formed an
opinion that an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote, and their
counsel refrains from expressing an opinion as to the likely outcome of the case
or the range of any loss.

Property Discussions

Many of the Properties in which the Partnership has an interest have stabilized
operations and operated at above breakeven as of June 30, 2006. A few Properties
generate cash flow deficits that the Local General Partners of those Properties
fund through project expense loans, subordinated loans or operating escrows.
However, some Properties have had persistent operating difficulties that could
either: (i) have an adverse impact on the Partnership's liquidity; (ii) result
in their foreclosure; or (iii) result in the Managing General Partner deeming it
appropriate for the Partnership to dispose of its interest in the Local Limited
Partnership prior to the expiration of the Compliance Period. Also, the Managing
General Partner, in the normal course of the Partnership's business, may arrange
for the future disposition of its interest in certain Local Limited
Partnerships. The following Property discussions focus only on such Properties.

As previously reported, a property adjacent to Whispering Trace, located in
Woodstock, Georgia, began operations during 2001. That property's superior
amenities and curb appeal provided a competitive advantage. Other Tax Credit
properties as well as entry-level homes in the area further increased
competition for tenants. In addition, local employers implemented work force
reductions, forcing some tenants to leave the area in search of employment. As a
result, occupancy at the Property initially suffered, although occupancy had
reached 93% as of March 31, 2006. The Property had incurred significant capital
expenditures in order to remain competitive in the marketplace. As a result,
debt service coverage remained below an appropriate level as of December 31,
2005. Advances from the Local General Partner and Partnership Reserves allowed
the Property to remain current on its debt obligations. As a result of a prior
agreement, the Property was sold on June 23, 2006. This sale resulted in net
proceeds to the Partnership of $334,262, or $4.85 per Unit, and is expected to
generate 2006 taxable income of approximately $294,000, or $4.27

per Unit. The Partnership may receive an immaterial amount of additional
proceeds upon a final accounting of this transaction. The Managing General
Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement,
retained the entire amount of net proceeds in Reserves. The Partnership no
longer has an interest in this Local Limited Partnership.

As previously reported, the Managing General Partner negotiated an agreement
with an unaffiliated entity to have the ability to transfer the Partnership's
interest to the unaffiliated entity or its designee with respect to Cedar Lane
I, located in London, Kentucky, and Silver Creek II, located in Berea, Kentucky.
These Properties share a common Local General Partner. The Managing General
Partner had the right to put its interest in either of the Local Limited
Partnerships at any time in exchange for a Contingent Note that granted the
Partnership 50% of all future net cash receipts from such Local Limited
Partnership interest. Effective January 1, 2006, the Partnership put its
interest in both Properties to an unaffiliated entity for approximately $2,100
each in lieu of the Partnership carrying a remaining interest in the form of a
Contingent Note. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as
permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net
proceeds from the sale in Reserves. These transfers are projected to result in
2006 taxable income of approximately $223,000 and $196,000 for Cedar Lane I and
Silver Creek II, respectively, or a combined $6 per Unit. The Partnership no
longer has an interest in these two Local Limited Partnerships.

As previously reported, Bixel House, located in Los Angeles, California, had
experienced weak occupancy and operations for a number of quarters, and the
Property had suffered from deferred maintenance for a number of years. In an
effort to reduce the Partnership's risk and develop an exit strategy, a put
option agreement was entered into between the Managing General Partner and an
unaffiliated entity. The Partnership transferred its interest in this Local
Limited Partnership in June 2005, initially retaining a contingent receivable in
the amount of $100,000. The Partnership subsequently received $100,000 in July
2006. This transfer will result in a 2006 taxable loss projected to be
approximately $633,000, or $9 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an
interest in this Local Limited Partnership.

As previously reported, Hillwood Pointe, located in Jacksonville, Florida, was
sold in October 2005, with the Partnership receiving net proceeds of $1,707,382,
or approximately $25 per Unit. The sale resulted in 2005 taxable income of
$1,707,458, or $24.77 per Unit. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with
and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net
proceeds from the sale in Reserves. The Managing General Partner had posted a
Recapture Bond as this Property's Compliance Period expired on December 31,
2005. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited
Partnership.

As previously reported, Rosecliff, located in Sanford, Florida, was sold on
March 15, 2006, resulting in net proceeds to the Partnership of $899,193, or $13
per Unit. This sale will result in 2006 taxable income projected to be
approximately $2,400,000, or $35 per Unit. The Managing General Partner, in
accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the
entire amount of net proceeds from the sale in Reserves. The Compliance Period
for this Property expired on December 31, 2005. The Partnership no longer has an
interest in this Local Limited Partnership.

Property Discussions (continued)

As previously reported, effective January 1, 2006, the Partnership put its
interest to an unaffiliated party in Archer Village, located in Archer, Florida,
Ocean View, located in Fernandina Beach, Florida, Water Oak, located in Orange
City, Florida and Yester Oaks, located in Lafayette, Georgia, for approximately
$2,100 each. The Managing General Partner determined that these four Properties
had no residual value in excess of the Properties' debt and putting the
Partnership's interests in the Local Limited Partnerships was in the best
interest of the Partnership. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with
and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net
proceeds from the sale in Reserves. These transfers are expected to result in
2006 taxable income projected to be approximately $211,000, $303,000, $251,000
and $331,000 for Archer Village, Ocean View, Water Oak and Yester Oaks,
respectively, or a combined $16 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an
interest in these Local Limited Partnerships.

As previously reported, the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited
Partnership that owned Magnolia Villas, located in North Hollywood, California,
was disposed of on March 21, 2006, upon the sale of this Property. The
Partnership received net proceeds of $938,637, or $13.62 per Unit. The Managing
General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership
Agreement, retained the entire amount of net proceeds from the sale in Reserves.
This sale will result in 2006 taxable income projected to be approximately
$1,500,000, or $22 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this
Local Limited Partnership.

As previously reported, the Local General Partner of Westover Station, located
in Newport News, Virginia, reached an agreement with the Property's lender to
refinance the debt on the Property. As part of the refinancing, which closed on
February 1, 2002, the Partnership received Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, as
defined in the Local Limited Partnership Agreement, of approximately $668,000.
The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the
Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net proceeds in Reserves.
The Managing General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, also negotiated an
agreement with the Local General Partner that will allow the Partnership to
dispose of its interest in the Property after the end of its Compliance Period,
which is December 31, 2006.

As previously reported, New Center, located in Detroit, Michigan, has
experienced operating difficulties for several years. The Property suffers from
poor location and security issues. Vandalism has caused an increase in
maintenance and repair expenses and has negatively affected the Property's
occupancy levels and tenant profile. Occupancy was 11% at June 30, 2006. Efforts
to increase curb appeal and increase qualified tenant traffic have not improved
occupancy. Advances from the former Local General Partner and the Partnership
have enabled the Property to remain current on its mortgage obligations. The
Managing General Partner will continue to closely monitor the site manager's
efforts to improve Property operations. However, due to the Property's
continuing struggles, the Managing General Partner was concerned about its
long-term viability. Due to these concerns, the Managing General Partner
believed it was in the best interest of the Property to replace the Local
General Partner. Accordingly, the Managing General Partner worked with the Local
General Partner to identify an acceptable replacement. A replacement was
identified and admitted to the Local Limited Partnership during the first
quarter of 2005. As of June 30, 2006, the replacement Local General Partner has
contributed in excess of $300,000 toward capital improvements and has an
obligation to fund an unlimited amount of future capital improvement needs.
Effective February 2005, a put option agreement was in place on the Local
Limited Partnership that would allow for the transfer of the Partnership's
interest to the replacement Local General Partner for a nominal amount any time
after the Property's Compliance Period ends on December 31, 2006. The Managing
General Partner presently plans to transfer the Partnership's interest in early
2007. Although Partnership Reserves have been utilized in the past to fund the
Property's debt service obligations, no such advances were made during the six
months ended September 30, 2006.

Property Discussions (continued)

As previously reported regarding Westgate, located in Bismark, North Dakota, in
order to protect the remaining Tax Credits generated by the Property, the
Managing General Partner consummated the transfer of 50% of the Partnership's
capital and profits in the Local Limited Partnership to an affiliate of the
Local General Partner in November 1997. The Managing General Partner also had
the right to transfer the Partnership's remaining interest to the Local General
Partner any time after one year from the initial transfer. Due to subsequent
transfers by the Local General Partner of its interest in the Local Limited
Partnership, the date on which the Managing General Partner had the right to
transfer the remaining interest did not occur until December 1, 2001. The
agreement allowed the Partnership to retain its full share of the Property's Tax
Credits until such time as the remaining interest was put to the replacement
Local General Partner. The Property generated its last Tax Credits during 2001.
The replacement Local General Partner also has the right to call the remaining
interest after the Property's Compliance Period expires on December 31, 2006.

As previously reported, in April 2000, due to poor operations, the site
management company for Carib II and Carib III, located in St. Croix, Virgin
Islands, was replaced. However, operations continued to suffer. Despite high
occupancy, the Properties experienced operating deficits that were funded from
working capital or replacement reserves. In addition, despite several capital
improvements, the Properties are still in need of additional capital
expenditures. However, due to consistently high occupancy levels, Carib II
operated at above breakeven while Carib III operated at slightly below breakeven
for the six months ending June 30, 2006. In 2000, the replacement site
management company stated its desire to purchase the Local General Partner and
Partnership interests in the Local Limited Partnerships and, effective January
1, 2001, assumed the Local General Partner interest in the Local Limited
Partnerships. As part of this transaction, the Managing General Partner
negotiated a put agreement that ultimately would transfer the Partnership's
interest in the Local Limited Partnerships to the new Local General Partner
after the expiration of the Properties' Compliance Periods on December 31, 2006.
The plan includes provisions to minimize the risk of recapture.

As previously reported, Schumaker Place, located in Salisbury, Maryland,
continues to operate at above breakeven as a result of strong occupancy levels
and the effect of reduced interest expense resulting from the Local General
Partner's refinancing of the Property in July 2004. In connection with the
Partnership's approval of this refinancing, the Partnership and the Local
General Partner entered into a put agreement whereby the Partnership can
transfer its interest in the Local Limited Partnership to the Local General
Partner for a nominal amount any time after the Property's Compliance Period
ends on December 31, 2007.

As previously reported, although an agreement has not yet been reached, the
Managing General Partner continues to work with the Local General Partner of
Oaks of Dunlop, located in Colonial Heights, Virginia, on the sale of the
Partnership's interest.

As previously reported, the Managing General Partner and Local General Partner
were exploring an exit strategy that would allow for the Partnership's sale of
its interest in the Local Limited Partnership that owns and operates Strathern
Park, located in Los Angeles, California. In September 2006, the Partnership
assigned its interest to the Local General Partner in exchange for net sales
proceeds of $1,600,000 or $23.21 per Unit. This disposition is projected to
result in 2006 taxable income of approximately $10,800,000 or $157 per Unit. The
Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited Partnership.

Property Discussions (continued)

As previously reported, the Managing General Partner and Local General Partner
of Pinewood Pointe, located in Jacksonville, Florida have reached an agreement
that could result in the early 2007 sale of this Property. Under the current
terms, this sale is expected to result in net proceeds to the Partnership of
approximately $4,000,000 or $58 per Unit. This sale would result in 2007 taxable
income projected to be approximately $3,900,000, or $57 per Unit.

As previously reported, the Managing General Partner anticipates that the
Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership that owns Timothy House,
located in Towson, Maryland, will be terminated upon the sale of the Property in
2007. Under the current terms, this sale is expected to result in net proceeds
to the Partnership of approximately $1,500,000 or $22 per Unit. This sale would
result in 2007 taxable income projected to be approximately $230,000, or $3 per
Unit.

The Managing General Partner anticipates that the Partnership's interest in the
Local Limited Partnership that owns Park Caton, located in Catonsville,
Maryland, will be terminated upon the sale of the Property in 2007. Under the
current terms, this sale is expected to result in net proceeds to the
Partnership of approximately $1,500,000 or $22 per Unit. This sale would result
in 2007 taxable income projected to be approximately $2,600,000, or $38 per
Unit.
