                                EXPLANATORY NOTE


This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-QSB amends the Fund's report on Form 10-QSB
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ended June
30, 2007. The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-QSB is only to amend
the disclosure contained in Item 3. With the exception of this revision, no
other changes have been made to our Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30,
2007.

                             CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a) Evaluation of 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, as of June 30, 200, 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 June 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the
material weakness described below.


A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected. Management identified the following weaknesses in the Fund's
disclosure controls that existed as of June 30, 2007:

       o Controls over Monitoring of Contractual Agreements: The Fund did not
         maintain effective monitoring controls over the contractual agreements
         that were entered into on its behalf by the General Partner.
         Specifically, during the period from December 2006 to early February
         2007, the Fund's cash was invested in below market interest bearing
         accounts as part of a banking arrangement which resulted in financial
         benefits to affiliates of the General Partners. Management determined
         that this arrangement was inconsistent with the terms of the
         Partnership Agreement of the Fund.

       o Controls over Recording Equity in Income/Losses: The Fund did not
         maintain effective controls over the calculation of the Fund's equity
         in income/losses from investees. Specifically, certain non-recurring
         items were recorded in the wrong period due to an ineffective review of
         the investees' unaudited quarterly financial data and audited annual
         financial statements utilized to calculate equity in income/losses from
         investees. The control deficiency resulted in adjustments to the Fund's
         interim and annual financial statements for the year ended March 31,
         2007.

The Fund considered these matters in connection with the closing and preparation
of the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2007, and determined
that the financial statements for this period were not materially affected by
these control weaknesses.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2008, the Fund completed
implementation of the following control improvements to remediate the material
weaknesses existing as of March 31, 2007:

Controls over Monitoring of Contractual Agreements

   o As part of the remediation plan, management initiated changes in processes
     and controls including:

         o restricting authority to the corporate treasury department
           over the opening, closing, investment and movement of cash
           accounts in the quarter ended June 30, 2007;
         o the engagement of the corporate legal department to perform
           due diligence on new agreements to assure compliance with
           existing agreements in the quarter ended June 30, 2007;
         o the refund of lost interest in August, 2007; and
         o the development and implementation of a fiduciary and
           conflicts policy that provides guidance to personnel on
           conflict management in August, 2007.



Controls over Recording Equity in Income/Losses

o             Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, management will
              perform a more detailed review and analysis of quarterly financial
              data and audited financial statements received from its investees
              to assure proper accounting in the appropriate period.
              Specifically, investee audited financial statements are reviewed
              for unusual events (such as a fire) to assure proper accounting in
              the appropriate period. Quarterly, where warranted, commencing in
              the quarter ended September 30, 2007, management will expand the
              scope of line items tested for reasonableness in comparison to
              prior year financial statements.

There were no other changes in the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d)
of the Securities and Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during
the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that affected, or were reasonably likely to
affect, the Fund's internal control over financial reporting.

3.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and

     the small business issuer and have:

     (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
         supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the small
         business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
         to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period
         in which this report is being prepared;

         small business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business

         has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
         the small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting;
         and

4.   I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
     over financial reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the

     persons performing the equivalents functions):

    (a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
        operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
        reasonably likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's
        ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
        and

    (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
        employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's
       internal control over financial reporting.
