                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q 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, 2008. 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 Partnership 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 March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Generally, profits, losses, tax credits and cash flows from operations are
allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners. Net
proceeds from a sale or refinancing will be allocated 95% to the Limited
Partners and 5% to the General Partners after certain priority payments. The
General Partners may have an obligation to fund deficits in their capital
accounts, subject to limits set forth in the Partnership Agreement. However, to
the extent that the General Partners' capital accounts are in a deficit
position, certain items of net income may be allocated to the General Partners
in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

1.   Investments in Local Limited Partnerships

The Partnership has limited partnership interests in two 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, where the Partnership's ownership interest is
88.55%. 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.

1. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships (continued)

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership was reimbursed
$160,000 from one of the Local Limited Partnerships for advances made in prior
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 three months ended June 30, 2008 is $226,083. For the three months ended
June 30, 2008, the Partnership has not recognized $144,441 of equity in losses
relating to certain Local Limited Partnerships in which cumulative equity in
losses and cumulative distributions exceeded its total investments in these
Local Limited Partnerships.

 2.  New Accounting Principle

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"), which provides enhanced
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157
establishes a common definition of fair value, provides a framework for
measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and
expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157", which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all
nonfinancial assets and liabilities except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis
until November 15, 2008. The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157
for financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring
basis effective April 1, 2008. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have
a material impact on the Partnership's Financial Statements. The Partnership
does not expect the adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157 to have
a material effect on the Partnership's financial position, operations or cash
flow. This standard requires that a Partnership measure its financial assets and
liabilities using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A
financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. The three levels are as follows:

     Level      1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
                identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the
                ability to access at the measurement date.

     Level      2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and
                liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
                similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,
                inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
                asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from
                or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or
                other means (market corroborated inputs).

     Level      3 - Unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership's judgments
                about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing
                the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The
                Partnership develops these inputs based on the best information
                available, including the Partnership's own data.

Financial assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30,
2008 include cash equivalents of $2,302,873.

                     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 use of
words like "anticipate, "intend," "project," "plan," "expect," "believe,"
"could," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. 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 ($3,323,401
at June 30, 2008). 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. A liability
is recorded for delayed equity capital contributions to Local Limited
Partnerships. 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. The tax benefits for each Local Limited Partnership
consist of future tax losses, tax credits and residual receipts at disposition.
Included in the residual receipts calculation is current net operating income
capitalized at the regional rate specific to each Local Limited Partnership.
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 June 30, 2008, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $2,302,873
compared with $2,185,265 at March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily
attributable to the reimbursement of advances and cash distributions received
from Local Limited Partnerships, partially offset by net cash used for
operations.

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 June 30, 2008, approximately $2,303,000 has been designated as
Reserves.

To date, professional fees relating to various Property issues totaling
approximately $304,000 have been paid from Reserves. To date, Reserve funds in
the amount of approximately $128,000 also have 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 June
30, 2008, the Partnership has advanced approximately $529,000 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, as of June 30, 2008, 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 three months ended June 30, 2008.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008
resulted in net income of $69,678 as compared to net income of $4,255,911 for
the same period in 2007. The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to
a decrease in gain on sale of investments in Local Limited Partnerships and an
increase in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships. These effects were
partially offset by a decrease in provision for valuation allowance on advances
to Local Limited Partnerships and a decrease in general and administrative
costs. The decrease in gain on sale of investments in Local Limited Partnerships
is the result of the sale of investments in two Local Limited Partnerships that
netted large sale proceeds during the three months ended June 30, 2007, as
compared with proceeds received from the sale of Local Limited Partnerships in
the current period. Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships increased due
to a decrease in unrecognized losses by the Partnership of Local Limited
Partnerships with carrying values of zero. The decrease in provision for
valuation allowance on advances to Local Limited Partnerships is the result of a
reimbursement of advances made from one Local Limited Partnership during the
three months ended June 30, 2008. General and administrative costs decreased
primarily due to a reduction in legal and salary expenses, partially offset by
an increase in accounting expense.

              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


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 June 30, 2008, the Partnership's investment portfolio consisted of limited
partnership interests in two 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 $1,514 per Limited Partner Unit, with an immaterial
amount of Tax Credits expected to be generated through 2008. The aggregate
amount of Tax Credits generated by the Partnership is consistent with the
objectives specified in the Partnership's prospectus.

In September 2007, the Partnership distributed $10,741,500 or $155.83 per unit
to Limited Partners. The source of this distribution was primarily from sale
proceeds of previously reported dispositions of the Partnership's interest in
four Local Limited Partnerships. In December 2006, the Partnership distributed
$5,353,027, or $77.66 per Unit to Limited Partners. The source of this
distribution is from sale or refinancing proceeds of previously reported
dispositions of the Partnership's interest in eleven Local Limited Partnerships
and the refinancing of debt on one Property.

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. The Compliance
Periods of the two remaining Properties in which the Partnership has an interest
expired on or before December 31, 2007. The Partnership disposed of two Local
Limited Partnership interests during the three month ending June 30, 2008.

The Managing General Partner will continue to closely monitor the operations of
the Properties and will formulate disposition strategies with respect to the
Partnership's remaining Local Limited Partnership interests. 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.

The Partnership is not a party to any pending legal or administrative
proceeding, and to the best of its knowledge, no legal or administrative
proceeding is threatened or contemplated against it.

Property Discussions

Two Properties in which the Partnership had an interest as of March 31, 2008
have stabilized operations and operated at above breakeven. Two 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. 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, Pinewood Pointe, located in Jacksonville, Florida, was
sold on June 15, 2007, resulting in net proceeds to the Partnership of
$4,162,299, or $60.39 per Unit. This sale resulted in 2007 taxable income of
$4,128,027, or $59.89 per Unit. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with
and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, initially retained the entire
amount of net proceeds from the sale in Reserves, and subsequently distributed
the proceeds, as noted in the Cash Distributions section above, in September
2007. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited
Partnership.

As previously reported, in February 2007, the Managing General Partner received
notification from the Local General Partner of Westover Station, located in
Newport News, Virginia, of its intent to exercise their right of first refusal
to purchase the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership. On June
30, 2007, the Local General Partner exercised their right to purchase the
Property. This transaction resulted in net sales proceeds to the Partnership of
$329,374, or $4.78 per Unit. This sale resulted in 2007 taxable income of
$1,178,311, or $17.09 per Unit. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with
and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, initially retained the entire
amount of net proceeds from the sale in Reserves, and subsequently distributed
the proceeds, as noted in the Cash Distributions section above, in September
2007. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited
Partnership.

As previously reported, in December 2006, the Local General Partner of Oaks of
Dunlop, located in Colonial Heights, Virginia, agreed to the purchase of the
Partnership's interest in this Local Limited Partnership. On August 9, 2007, the
Partnership sold its Local Limited Partnership interest for $2,400,000, or
$34.82 per Unit. This sale resulted in 2007 taxable income of $2,251,652, or
$32.67 per Unit. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as
permitted by the Partnership Agreement, initially retained the entire amount of
net proceeds from the sale in Reserves, and subsequently distributed the
proceeds, as noted in the Cash Distributions section above, in September 2007.
The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited Partnership.

As previously reported, the Managing General Partner anticipated that the
Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership that owned Timothy
House, located in Towson, Maryland, would be terminated upon the sale of the
Property in 2007. The Property was sold on September 1, 2007, effectively
terminating the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership. This
sale resulted in net proceeds to the Partnership of $1,849,083, or $26.83 per
Unit. This sale resulted in 2007 taxable income of $791,519, or $11.48 per Unit.
The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the
Partnership Agreement, initially retained the entire amount of net proceeds from
the sale in Reserves, and subsequently distributed the proceeds, as noted in the
Cash Distributions section above, in September 2007. The Partnership no longer
has an interest in this Local Limited Partnership.

As previously reported, the Managing General Partner anticipated a 2007
disposition of the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership that
owns Park Caton, located in Catonsville, Maryland. On December 21, 2007, the
property was sold, resulting in net sales proceeds to the Partnership of
$1,818,305, or $26.38 per Unit. The Managing General Partner initially expected
the Partnership to receive a nominal amount of additional proceeds, but due to
the Partnership's obligation to pay Maryland State Income taxes resulting from
this transaction, the Partnership will not receive additional proceeds. This
sale resulted in 2007 taxable income of $2,893,026, or $41.97 per Unit. The
Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership
Agreement, has initially retained the entire amount of net proceeds from the
sale in Reserves. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local
Limited Partnership.

As previously reported, in April 2000, due to poor operations, the site
management company for Carib II and Carib III, located in St. Croix, U. S.
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 were still in need of additional capital
expenditures. However, due to consistently high occupancy levels, Carib II and
Carib III, operated at above breakeven for the nine month period ending
September 30, 2007. In 2000, the replacement site management company stated its
desire to purchase the Local General Partner and Partnership interests in the
Local Limited

Property Discussions (continued)

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 allow
for the transfer of 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. As a result of this agreement, and the
United States Department of Agriculture/Rural Development Services ("RD")
approval allowing for the sale of the Property, the Partnership's interest in
these two Local Limited Partnerships was transferred in December 2007. As
expected, this transaction did not result in any net proceeds to the
Partnership. These dispositions resulted in 2007 taxable income of $806,275, or
$11.70 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an interest in these two Local
Limited Partnerships.

As previously reported, the Managing General Partner estimated an early 2008
disposition of the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership that
owned and operated Brookwood, located in Ypsilanti, Michigan. On December 31,
2007, the Partnership's interest in this Local Limited Partnership was
effectively terminated. The Partnership did not receive any proceeds from this
transaction, as the outstanding debt on the Property exceeded the realizable
value of the Property. This disposition resulted in 2007 taxable income of
$806,781, or $11.70 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this
Local Limited Partnership.

As previously reported, Schumaker Place, located in Salisbury, Maryland,
continued 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 could
transfer its interest in the Local Limited Partnership to the Local General
Partner, for $75,000, or $1.09 per Unit, any time after the Property's
Compliance Period, which expired on December 31, 2007. On April 18, 2008, the
Managing General Partner exercised the Partnership's option to transfer its
interest in Schumaker, for $75,000, or $1.90 per Unit. This disposition is
projected to result in 2008 taxable income of approximately $160,000, or $2.32
per Unit. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by
the Partnership Agreement, will retain the entire amount of proceeds in
Reserves. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited
Partnership.

In June 2008, Woodlake Hills, located in Pontiac, Michigan, was sold,
effectively disposing of the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited
Partnership that owned Woodlake Hills. The Partnership did not receive any net
sales proceeds from this transaction as outstanding debt on the Property
exceeded the sales price. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this
Local Limited Partnership.

As previously reported, with respect to the Partnership, a Settlement Agreement
providing an option, subject to various conditions, to purchase the
Partnership's interest in Circle Terrace Associates, L.P., located in Lansdowne,
MD for a price of $4,250,000, was not exercised. The Managing General Partner is
exploring an alternative exit strategy for this Local Limited Partnership
interest.

The Managing General Partner and Local General Partner of Huguenot Park, located
in New Paltz, New York, have begun to explore an exit strategy that may result
in the 2008 disposal of the Fund's interest in the Local Limited Partnership.
Net sales proceeds, if any, are unknown at this time.

                             CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange
Act, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports
filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities
Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, management
has concluded that as of March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our management conducted an assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment
was based upon the criteria for effective internal control over financial
reporting established in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework, issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The Partnership's internal control over financial reporting involves a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over
financial reporting includes the controls themselves, as well as monitoring of
the controls and internal auditing practices and actions to correct deficiencies
identified. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control over
financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. Based on this assessment, management
concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, the Partnership's internal control over
financial reporting was effective.
