This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-KSB amends the Fund's report on Form 10-KSB

no other changes have been made to our Form 10-KSB for the period ended March
31, 2007.

Item 8A.  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 March 31, 2007, 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, 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 March 31, 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 year ended March 31, 2007, and determined
that the financial statements for this period were not materially affected by
these control weaknesses.


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

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

          o the refund of lost interest;

          o restricting  authority to the  corporate  treasury  department  over
            the  opening,  closing,  investment  and movement of cash accounts;

          o the  engagement  of the corporate  legal  department to perform due
            diligence on new  agreements  to assure  compliance  with existing
            agreements; and

          o the  development  and  implementation  of a fiduciary  and conflicts
            policy that  provides  guidance to personnel on conflict management.



<PAGE>




Controls over Recording Equity in Income/Losses

         Management now performs 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, commencing in the quarter ended
         September 30, 2007, management will expand the scope of line items
         tested for reasonableness in comparison to prior year audited 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 March 31, 2007 that affected, or were reasonably likely to
affect, the Fund's internal control over financial reporting.

     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;

         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

         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
