NOTE D - INVESTMENT IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS - (continued)

The Fund's fiscal year ends March 31st for each year, while all the Operating Partnerships' fiscal years are the calendar year.  Pursuant to the provisions of each Operating Partnership Agreement, financial results for each of the Operating Partnerships are provided to the Fund within 45 days after the close of each Operating Partnership's quarterly period.  Accordingly, the financial results available for the Operating Partnerships would be for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  Since the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund had invested as of June 30, 2004 were under construction, there are no financial results to report.

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Fund's taxable loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 is expected to differ from its loss for financial reporting purposes.  This is primarily due to accounting differences in depreciation incurred by the Operating Partnerships and also differences between the equity method of accounting and the IRS accounting methods.  No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the partners and assignees individually.

Item 2.   Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations



Liquidity

The Fund's primary source of funds is the proceeds of its Public Offering. Other sources of liquidity will include (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment and on working capital (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.

Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund V LP and other Funds sponsored and offered by Boston Capital Services, Inc. have entered into a line of credit financing agreement with Fleet National Bank whereby they can collectively borrow up to $40 million for up to 180 days to meet short-term cash needs required for the investment in certain Operating Partnerships.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Fund pledges their interest in a particular Operating Partnership in order to draw funds from the line.  The repayment of any draws is anticipated to be made once the Fund has received sufficient Investor proceeds.  Repayments on the line are tied to specific Operating Partnerships, which are then released as collateral by the bank.  As of September 30, 2004 Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund V LP did have any amounts outstanding on the line of credit.

The Fund is accruing a portion of the fund management fees for Series 47 and Series 48 in order to maintain adequate Fund reserves. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such liabilities will be deferred until the Fund receives sales or refinancing proceeds from the Operating Partnerships, which will be used to satisfy such 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.

Capital Resources

The Fund offered BACs in a Public Offering declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2004.  The Fund received $34,783,340, $22,993,720 and $6,226,075 representing 3,478,334, 2,299,372 and 622,608 BACs from investors admitted as BAC Holders in Series 47, Series 48 and Series 49, respectively, as of September 30, 2004.

The Fund commenced offering BACs in Series 47 on January 2, 2004.  Offers and sales of BACs in Series 47 were completed on April 30, 2004.  The Fund has committed proceeds to pay initial and additional installments of capital contributions to 12 Operating Partnerships in the amount of $24,331,909.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, Series 47 recorded capital contribution releases of $3,596,693. Series 47 has outstanding contributions payable in the amount of $11,945,462 as of September 30, 2004. Of the amount outstanding $1,743,013 has been loaned or advanced to some of the Operating Partnerships.  The loans and advances will be converted to capital, and the remaining contributions of $10,202,449 will be released from available net offering proceeds, when the Operating Partnerships have achieved the conditions set forth in their partnership agreements.

Series 48

The Fund commenced offering BACs in Series 48 on May 11, 2004.  Offers and sales of BACs in Series 48 were completed on August 12, 2004.  The Fund has committed proceeds to pay initial and additional installments of capital contributions to 7 Operating Partnerships in the amount of $11,947,885.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, Series 48 recorded capital contribution releases of $4,728,776. Series 48 has outstanding contributions payable in the amount of $6,441,945 as of September 30, 2004. The remaining contributions will be released from available net offering proceeds, when the Operating Partnerships have achieved the conditions set forth in their partnership agreements.

Series 49

The Fund has committed proceeds to pay initial and additional installments of capital contributions to 1 Operating Partnerships in the amount of $2,375,513.

Line of Credit

Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund V LP and other Funds sponsored and offered by Boston Capital Services, Inc. have entered into a line of credit financing agreement with Fleet National Bank whereby they can collectively borrow up to $40 million for up to 90 days to meet short-term cash needs required for the investment in certain Operating Partnerships.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Fund pledges their interest in a particular Operating Partnership in order to draw funds from the line.  The repayment of any draws is anticipated to be made once the Fund has received sufficient Investor proceeds.  Repayments on the line are tied to specific Operating Partnerships, which are then released as collateral by the bank.  As of September 30, 2004 Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund V LP did not have any amounts outstanding on the line of credit.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2004 the Fund held limited partnership interests in 20 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 hereinafter 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 believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

The Fund's results of operations for future periods will vary significantly from those for the period ended September 30, 2004 as Series 47, Series 48 and Series 49 continue to use the funds raised to invest in partnership interests of additional Operating Partnerships, and the Fund offers additional BACs in Series 49 and other series.

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 total fund management fee incurred for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $110,073.

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, 2004 the series had a total of 12 properties all of were under construction.  Since all of the properties were acquired after September 30, 2003, there is no comparative information to report.

The properties acquired as of June 30, 2004 were all under construction, therefore the series does not have any current property operations to report.

Series 48

As of September 30, 2004 the series had a total of 7 properties all of were under construction.  Since all of the properties were acquired after September 30, 2003, there is no comparative information to report.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

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 Partnership to make certain estimates and assumptions.  A summary of significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to the financial statements.  The following section is a summary of certain aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of Partnership's financial condition and results of operations.  The Partnership 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 Partnership is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which is primarily investments in limited partnerships.  The Partnership accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Partnership does not control the operations of the Operating Limited Partnership.

If the book value of the Partnership'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 Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership, the Partnership reduces its investment in any such Operating Limited Partnership and includes such reduction in equity in loss of investment of limited partnerships.
