NOTE B - ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES

The condensed financial statements herein as of September 30, 2008 and for the six months then ended have been prepared by the Fund, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Fund accounts for its investments in Operating Partnerships using the equity method, whereby the Fund adjusts its investment cost for its share of each Operating Partnership's results of operations and for any distributions received or accrued.  Costs incurred by the Fund in acquiring the investments in the Operating Partnerships are capitalized to the investment account.

The Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include adjustments in interim periods considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations.  Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Fund's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Investment Securities

The Fund has determined that all of its investment securities are to be categorized as securities available for sale.  Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the Fund purchased that may be liquidated prior to the maturity date should the need arise.

These securities are carried at approximate fair market value.  All of the investments held by the Fund are tax-exempt municipal bonds.  As of September 30, 2008, all of the investment securities have been sold.

NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Fund has entered into several transactions with various affiliates of the general partner, including Boston Capital Holdings Limited Partnership, Boston Capital Securities, Inc., and Boston Capital Asset Management L.P. as follows:

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Fund's taxable loss for the calendar year ended December 31, 2008 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 Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including our intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies and predictions of our future activities, or other future events or conditions. These statements are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by these acts. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including, for example, the factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

Liquidity

The Fund's primary source of funds is the proceeds of the Offering. Other sources of liquidity will include (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment and on working capital, (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund has and will invest and (iii) a line of credit.  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, 2008 were $284,460 and total fund management fees accrued as of September 30, 2008, were $662,899. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, $250,000 of accrued fund management fees was paid.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, these liabilities will be deferred until the Fund receives proceeds from sales of the Operating Partnerships, which will be used to satisfy these liabilities.  The Fund's working capital and sources of liquidity coupled with affiliated party liability accruals allow sufficient levels of liquidity to meet the third party obligations of the Fund.  The Fund is currently unaware of any trends which would create insufficient liquidity to meet future third party obligations of the Fund.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2008 the Fund held limited partnership interests in 50 Operating Partnerships.  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 in an amount equal to .5 percent of the aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of certain asset

management and reporting fees paid by the Operating Partnerships.  The fund management fees incurred and the reporting fees paid by the Operating Partnerships for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 are as follows:



|          | 3 Months Fund Management Fee | 3 Months
Reporting Fee | 6 Months Fund Management Fee | 6 Months

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

Series 47

As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, the average Qualified Occupancy was 100%.  The series had a total of 15 properties at September 30, 2008, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the six month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Series 47 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(726,096) and $(669,982), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,285,530 and $982,392, respectively.  This is an interim period estimate; it is not indicative of the final year-end results.

CP Continental L.P. (Time Square on the Hill) is a 200-unit family development located in Fort Worth, TX. Despite an average physical occupancy of 94% in the third quarter of 2008, the property operated below breakeven due to low economic occupancy coupled with high operating expenses; specifically, administrative, real estate taxes and insurance. Of the 200 units at this property, only 62 have rental assistance and the operating general partner has found it difficult to compete with fully rent-assisted properties nearby. This property is in a very competitive market; competing properties offer significant specials to gain and retain occupants. In addition, this property does not have a swimming pool or washer/dryer hook-ups like many competitors. In response to the competition, management has intensified its leasing efforts by using concessions and other incentives, such as one month rent-free and increased resident referral rewards. Management feels that it is necessary to continue to offer concessions despite the strong occupancy.

Due to an increase in the cost of health insurance and other benefits the administrative expenses were higher than budgeted.  The real estate taxes increased by $31,537, an increase of 49.9% in 2007. The operating general partner has appealed the tax increase, but has not realized any significant savings. The property's insurance premium increased by $35,133, an increase of 40% in 2007. Management expects a slight reduction in insurance in 2008. Through the third quarter of 2008, the property continues to operate below breakeven. The property's mortgage, real estate taxes, and insurance are current. After rental achievement, the operating general partner is obligated to promptly advance funds to eliminate any operating deficit provided; however, the operating general partner shall not be obligated to have subordinated loans outstanding at any time in excess of $542,490. The management company, an affiliate of the operating general partner, is deferring all fees until operations improve.

Series 48

As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, the average Qualified Occupancy was 100%.  The series had a total of 11 properties at September 30, 2008, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the six month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Series 48 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(531,913) and $(654,613), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $884,534 and $945,912, respectively.  This is an interim period estimate; it is not indicative of the final year-end results.

Wyndam-Emporia Partners, LP (Wyndam Place Senior Residences) is a 42-unit elderly development, located in Emporia, KS. The investment general partner conducted a site visit in August 2008, and concluded that the property has a very favorable physical appearance and good curb appeal. Occupancy has averaged 88% through August 2008, down from an average occupancy of 93% in 2007.  The reduction in occupancy is due to some of the residents' need for assisted living housing and other affordable housing choices in the area.  The local economy in Emporia has experienced negative effects due to two of the largest employers reducing work force by approximately 2,600 jobs. The loss of jobs in the area has made it difficult for seniors to sell their homes.  Three applicants on the waitlist are financially unable to move into Wyndam Place, as they are unable to sell their homes.  The property rents are also higher than the fair market rents as stated by the operating general partner, which has caused other potential applicants to rent from the local housing authority at lower rents. Expenses are above the budgeted amounts due to unanticipated audit and administrative expenses that were not properly accrued and paid by the prior management company.  Taxes have increased and the operating general partner has appealed the valuation for 2008.  The operating general partner has funded deficits to date and the mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance are all current.  The operating general partner is currently paying down past due invoices as funds are available, and believes that operations will improve with time and increased efforts to reduce expenses and increase occupancy.  The property has been unable to meet rental achievement due to operations and the permanent loan amount being higher than the underwritten amount.  The investment general partner has remaining equity that will be released (in the form of a promissory note) in conjunction with the operating general partner reducing their principal debt balance to this original underwritten level.

Series 49

As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, the average Qualified Occupancy was 100% and 97.7%, respectively. The series had a total of 24 properties at September 30, 2008, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the six month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Series 49 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(1,321,369) and $(1,098,766), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,784,767 and $1,312,355, respectively.  This is an interim period estimate; it is not indicative of the final year-end results.

Columbia Blackshear Senior Residences L.P. (Columbia Blackshear Senior Residences) is a 78-unit senior development located in Atlanta, GA.  Substantial delays were encountered during the construction period, but construction was completed in July of 2007, six months behind schedule.  Due to the delays in the fourth quarter of 2006, the operating general partner reached an agreement with the State Credit Agency to exchange the Operating Partnership's reservation of 2004 tax credits for an allocation of 2005 tax credits.  This agreement shifted the Operating Partnership's reservation expiration date from December 31, 2006, to December 31, 2007, allowing ample time to complete construction without jeopardizing the Operating Partnership's allocation of tax credits.  The property achieved 100% qualified occupancy as of November 30, 2007, and was able to deliver the required credits for 2007.  As of September 30, 2008, occupancy is 100%.  The investment general partner conducted a site visit of this property in October 2008, and found that the property is very well maintained and is a highly sought-after residence for senior in the area. The conversion of the construction loan to permanent mortgage is expected in December 2008.

The Gardens of Athens, LP (The Gardens of Athens) is a 36-unit elderly development located in Athens, Texas.  Occupancy has been strong since lease-up in 2006, averaging 100% in 2007 and through the third quarter of 2008. The property operated above breakeven in 2007, but slightly below breakeven for the first three quarters of 2008.  Despite fairly strong operations, a shortfall of approximately $200,000 between the balance of the construction loan and the originally underwritten permanent loan principal resulted in a conversion delay. After several extensions to the term of the construction loan, the original permanent lender, which is also the construction lender, withdrew its commitment to provide permanent financing, and on May 6, 2008, issued a notice of default under the construction loan, due to an expiration of the loan's term. The lender later agreed to extend the term of the construction loan to September 30, 2008. The operating general partner is currently in discussions with the construction lender regarding a further extension.  Foreclosure proceedings have not yet begun. The operating general partner was also in discussions with a potential new permanent mortgage lender; however, to date the operating general partner has been unable to identify a replacement permanent lender. In addition, the operating partnership is delinquent on its 2007 real estate taxes, which were paid by October 31, 2008 to avoid a lien on the property. In an effort to delay further proceedings by the tax authority, the construction lender has agreed to pay the taxes and add the amount of approximately $20,000 to the principal balance of the construction loan.

This property is part of a portfolio which includes several troubled properties.  The operating general partner has explored a number of alternatives to raise cash and recapitalize the portfolio and the investment general partner allowed the operating general partner 60-90 days to demonstrate progress with this recapitalization plan; however, the operating general partner had not made progress by September 2008. As a result, the investment general partner is seeking a replacement operating general partner with sufficient (i) financial resources to cover the gap between the construction loan and the permanent mortgage loan as originally underwritten and (ii) management resources to maintain strong operations. If a replacement operating general partner is not identified by the end of the fourth quarter 2008, the investment general partner intends to replace the current operating general partner with an affiliate of the investment general partner and keep this affiliate in place until an unrelated third party replacement operating general partner can be identified.

Rosewood Place, LLC (Rosewood Senior Apartments) is a 144-unit elderly development in Lenexa, Kansas.  Construction cost overruns and delays pushed lease-up back by more than six months.  The property reached initial full occupancy in November 2007 and occupancy was strong through the first quarter of 2008; however, it slipped to 87% by June 2008. The 2008 average occupancy through the third quarter of 2008 was 89%. Operations were below breakeven for 2007 and have remained below breakeven for the first three quarters of 2008. The property has not yet converted the construction loan to permanent financing and the construction lender (also the permanent lender) issued a default notice on August 20, 2007, for violations of several covenants of the loan agreement, including, but not limited to (i) keeping the property free of liens, (ii) timely payment of real estate taxes, and (iii) maintaining reserves at required levels and obtaining lender approval for withdrawals from such reserves. The operating general partner is currently in discussions with the construction lender and no foreclosure proceedings have begun. In the second quarter of 2007, one of the subcontractors for the construction of the property filed a lien for non-payment of the construction retainage. In the fourth quarter of 2007, the subcontractor filed for arbitration which, in February 2008, resulted in a settlement award to the subcontractor of approximately $310,000. The settlement payment has not yet been made and accrues interest until paid in full. The operating general partner is attempting to enter into a long-term payment plan with the subcontractor for the settlement award, but agreement on such a plan has not yet been reached.

This property is part of a portfolio, which includes several troubled properties.  The operating general partner has explored a number of alternatives to raise cash and recapitalize the portfolio and the investment general partner allowed the operating general partner 60-90 days to demonstrate progress with this recapitalization plan; however, the operating general partner had not made progress by September 2008. As a result, the investment general partner is seeking a replacement operating general partner with sufficient (i) financial resources to cover operating deficits and convert to permanent financing and (ii) management resources to maintain strong operations.  If a replacement operating general partner is not identified by the end of the fourth quarter 2008, the investment general partner intends to replace the current operating general partner with an affiliate of the investment general parnter and keep this affiliate in place until an unrelated third party replacement operating general partner can be identified.

Principal Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

The Fund is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which 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 ("FIN 46R"), "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 statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements.



The Fund's balance in investment in Operating Partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments, represents its maximum exposure to loss.  The Fund's exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying properties as well as the strength of the local general partners and their guarantee against credit recapture.





Recent Accounting Changes

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and shall be applied prospectively except for very limited transactions, which for the Fund is April 1, 2008.  In December 2007, the FASB delayed the implementation of SFAS 157 as it pertains to non-financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which for the Fund is April 1, 2009. The Fund is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 157 on its financial statements.

In February 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The fair value election is designed to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Fund does not expect to elect the fair value option.

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141R").  This statement changes the accounting for acquisitions specifically eliminating the step acquisition model, changing the recognition of contingent consideration from being recognized when it is probable to being recognized at the time of acquisition, and disallowing the capitalization of transaction costs and delays when restructurings related to acquisitions can be recognized.  The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.  The Fund is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 141 R on its financial statements.  However, the Fund does not expect SFAS 141R to have a material impact on the Fund's statement of operations or financial position.

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160").  SFAS 160 replaces the concept of minority interest with noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries.  Noncontrolling interests will now be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated statement of financial position.  Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests will continue to be reported as a part of consolidated earnings; however, SFAS 160 requires that income attributable to both controlling and noncontrolling interests be presented separately on the face of the consolidated income statement.  In addition, SFAS 160 provides that when losses attributable to noncontrolling interests exceed the noncontrolling interest's basis, losses continue to be attributed to the noncontrolling interest as opposed to being absorbed by the consolidating entity.  SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests.  All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. However, the Fund does not expect SFAS 160 to have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.
