                  ASSISTED HOUSING FUND L.P. I AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      For the Quarter Ended September 30, 1997

1.   General

Assisted Housing Fund L.P. I (the  Partnership) is a limited  partnership  which
was  organized  November  2, 1987 under the laws of the state of  Washington  to
acquire  limited  partnership  interests  in other  partnerships  (the  Property
Partnerships), each of which has been organized to develop or purchase a low- or
moderate-income  apartment complex. The Partnership's general partner is Murphey
Favre Properties,  Inc. (MFP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WM Financial,  Inc.,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual Bank (WMB).

The Partnership  completed its public offering of limited partnership  interests
and  commenced   operations  on  April  14,  1989.   Prior  to  that  date,  the
Partnership's  activities  consisted  solely of purchasing  limited  partnership
interests in Property  Partnerships which were in the development process. As of
December 31, 1996,  limited  partners held the 703 units of limited  partnership
interests outstanding.

The   Partnership   has  invested  as  a  limited  partner  in  eleven  Property
Partnerships.  The  developer of each  apartment  complex  serves as the general
partner  (DGP)  of  the  respective  Property   Partnership.   Additionally,   a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of MFP,  Murphey Favre Housing  Managers  (MFHM),  is a
special  limited  partner in each  Property  Partnership.  MFHM has the right to
oversee the  management of each Property  Partnership  and has certain  approval
rights over the actions of each DGP. The Partnership Agreement for each Property
Partnership sets forth the allocations of profits,  losses and  distributions of
net  cash  flow  from  operations  or from  sale or  refinancing  of the  rental
property.

The properties owned by the Property  Partnerships were financed and constructed
under  Section 515 of the  National  Housing  Act, as amended  (administered  by
Farmer's Home Administration,  now known as Rural Housing Services (RHS)). Under
this  program,   the  Property   Partnerships   provide   housing  to  low-  and
moderate-income  families.  Lower rental charges to tenants are recovered by the
Property  Partnerships  through an interest  reduction program which reduces the
effective  interest  rate over the  lives of the  mortgages  to 1 percent  and a
rental  assistance  program  whereby RHS pays the  Property  Partnerships  for a
portion of qualified tenant rents.

Construction of the rental properties began in June, 1988 and all were completed
by January 31, 1991. Rental operations began in April, 1989.
<PAGE>
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. The Partnership's  financial  statements are reported on a consolidated basis
with the Property  Partnerships in which it has invested because the Partnership
(as a limited  partner)  holds  approximately  99% profit and loss interests and
approximately  55% of the equity  interests  in each  Property  Partnership  and
because of the  aforementioned  rights of MFHM to restrict the authority of each
DGP.

The consolidated  financial statements,  include the financial statements of the
Partnership  and  eleven  Property  Partnerships:  Fairview  Apartments  Company
Limited  Partnership  (Fairview);  Ionia Limited  Dividend  Housing  Association
Limited  Partnership  (Ionia);  Logan  Apartments  Company  Limited  Partnership
(Logan);   Rolling  Brook  II  Limited  Dividend  Housing   Association  Limited
Partnership (Rolling Brook);  Wexford Manor Limited Dividend Housing Association
Limited  Partnership   (Wexford);   Blue  Heron  Apartment   Associates  Limited
Partnership (Blue Heron);  Glenwood  Apartment  Associates  Limited  Partnership
(Glenwood);  Pacific Place Apartment  Associates  Limited  Partnership  (Pacific
Place);  Cove Limited Dividend Housing  Association  Limited Partnership (Cove);
Washington  Street Limited  Dividend  Housing  Association  Limited  Partnership
(Washington); and, Fayette Hills Limited Partnership (Fayette).

All material  interpartnership  transactions  and balances have been eliminated.
The minority  partners'  interests  in the losses of the Property  Partnerships,
which  aggregate  $37,637 and $34,245 as of September  30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively, are included in other income.

b. The accrual  method of  accounting is used for both  financial  statement and
income tax purposes.

c.  Rental  property  and  equipment  is stated at cost  including  interest  of
$387,000, capitalized during construction.

The partnership  agreements for the Property  Partnerships  require the DGP's to
fund cost overruns on the development of the rental properties.  As of September
30,  1997 and  December  31,  1996,  $589,462  of such cost  overruns  have been
recorded as capital  contributions from DGP's and have been included in the cost
basis  of the  rental  property.  All  depreciation  related  thereto  has  been
specially allocated to the respective DGP's.

d.  Depreciation  is  computed  for  financial   statement  purposes  using  the
straight-line  method over the estimated  useful lives of the related  assets as
follows:

     Building shell and components.................... 27.5 years
     Land improvements.................................. 15 years
     Appliances......................................... 10 years
     Carpets and draperies.............................. 10 years

Depreciation    is    computed    for    income   tax    purposes    using   the
modified-accelerated-cost-recovery-system (MACRS).
<PAGE>
e. No income tax provision has been included in the financial  Statements  since
income or loss of a  Partnership  is required  to be reported by the  respective
partners on their income tax returns.

f. For  purposes of the  statement  of cash flows,  all  investment  instruments
purchased  with a maturity  of three  months or less are  considered  to be cash
equivalents.

g. Costs  aggregating  $71,921  incurred in  connection  with  organization  and
start-up of the partnerships  have been capitalized and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a five-year period.

h. Certain amounts as previously presented in the 1996 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation.

i. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments which are,
in the  opinion of  management,  necessary  to fairly  state the results for the
interim  periods  presented.  These  adjustments  are all of a normal  recurring
nature.

3.   Transactions with Affiliates

In connection with the offering of units of limited  partnership  interest,  the
acquisition  and  development of rental  property and the management of both the
rental property and the Partnership,  the Partnership and Property  Partnerships
have paid or accrued the following amounts to certain affiliates:

                                                  Quarter Ended     Year Ended
                                                  Sep 30, 1997      Dec 31, 1996

Murphey Favre Properties, Inc.
         Reimbursements, at cost                   $ 1,875           $  7,500
         Partnership administration                 11,178             44,710

Developer general partners and affiliates
         Property management fees                   31,554            119,365

The  Partnership  maintains  deposits  in  certain  of WMB's  interest-  bearing
accounts which aggregated  $11,708 and $7,197 at September 30, 1997 and December
31, 1996,  respectively.  Interest earned on such deposits  totaled $71 and $280
during the quarter ended  September  30, 1997 and year ended  December 31, 1996,
respectively.  Terms  of the RHS Loan  Agreements  require  each DGP to  provide
interest-free advances of stipulated amounts as initial operating capital to the
Property Partnerships.  Due to affiliates includes $152,107 and $152,107 of such
advances at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,  respectively,  which will
be repaid in two to five years upon  approval  of RHS,  or from the  proceeds of
future sales of the respective Properties.  The balance includes DGP advances of
$35,468  for land  improvements  and  $14,209 to fund  operating  deficits.  The
remaining  balance  due to  affiliates  includes  program  management  fees  and
reimbursements  payable to MFP.  <PAGE> Under the terms of  management  services
agreements,  affiliates of the DGP's provide management  services for the rental
properties and receive  compensation for such services in amounts  approximating
8% of gross rental revenue.

4.   Cash Held in Escrow Accounts

The partnership  agreements for the Property Partnerships require that specified
amounts be deposited by the  Partnership  into escrow  accounts.  Such funds are
released from escrow upon completion of certain  requirements in the development
of the  rental  properties  and paid to the  DGP's to  reduce  development  fees
payable.

5.   Cash in Reserve Accounts

The Loan  Agreements  between  the  Property  Partnerships  and RHS  require the
Property  Partnerships  to  deposit  into  separate  reserve  accounts  (savings
accounts)  $126,889 annually until the reserve accounts reach  $1,268,211.  With
the prior  approval of RHS,  these funds can be used for: (1) loan debt service,
if operating funds cannot meet these  obligations:  (2) repairs and replacements
caused by catastrophe or long-range depreciation; (3) improvements or extensions
to the buildings;  and, (4) any other reason RHS  determines  will promote or be
beneficial to the purpose of the loans.

6.   Mortgage Notes Payable

The  mortgage  notes are  payable to RHS in monthly  installments  stated in the
table below. In accordance with  provisions of Interest Credit  Agreements,  RHS
provides  monthly interest credits which reduce the interest rates stated in the
mortgage notes to effective  rates of 1 percent over the lives of the mortgages.
Amortization  of principal is based on the stated rates of 8.75% to 10.75% under
RHS's Predetermined  Amortization  Schedule System (PASS).  Substantially all of
the rental property and equipment is pledged as collateral on the mortgages.  No
partner is personally liable on the mortgage notes.

Amendments  enacted in 1979 and 1987 to Section 515 of the National  Housing Act
contain restrictive  provisions for prepayment of Section 515 loans. In summary,
RHS may refuse offers to prepay the mortgage notes and require that the projects
be used for the purpose of housing those  eligible,  as provided in Section 515,
for a period of 20 years. <PAGE>

The loan  balances,  net  monthly  payments,  and due  dates  for each  Property
Partnership are as follows:

7.   Limited Distributions to Partner

Limited  distributions  payable from funds provided by rental  operations of the
Property  Partnerships  are limited by the Loan  Agreements to eight percent per
year of the Property  Partnerships'  initial  equity,  as determined by the RHS.
Current RHS regulations limit the distribution payments in any year to a maximum
of the annual distribution for the current year and the prior year. Distribution
payments  are  also  subject  to  approval  by  RHS.  Prerequisites  to  limited
distributions  being paid by each Property  Partnership  are: (a) funding of the
reserve account must be current and (b) the mortgage note must be current.
<PAGE>
8.   Contingencies

In  September,  1995 the city of  Winslow  issued a L.I.D.  assessment  for Blue
Heron's share of street and utility  improvements in the amount of $68,569.  The
assessment is payable in 10 equal annual installments  together with interest at
the rate of 6.25  percent.  At December 31,  1996,  the fair value of the L.I.D.
assessment approximates the amount recorded in the financial statements.

Principal payments on the assessment for the next 5 years are as follows:

                  Year                             Amounts
                  1997                               6,857

                                                   $61,712

9.   Guarantees

Each of the  DGP's  has  made  certain  guarantees  to the  respective  Property
Partnership  which  include  the  following  : (i) the rental  property  will be
completed in accordance  with the approved plans and  specifications;  (ii) they
will fund construction cost overruns; (iii) they will fund operating deficits of

the  rental   property   through   December  31,  1991  or  1992,  by  providing

Advances made  pursuant to this  guarantee  shall be repayable  from proceeds of
future sale or dissolution.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

Assisted  Housing  Fund  L.P. I  (the  Partnership)  is  a  limited  partnership
organized under the laws of the state of Washington.

The  Partnership  has  invested  as a limited  partner in eleven  other  limited
partnerships (Property Partnerships) which develop, own, and operate residential
apartment  complexes which benefit from some form of federal assistance programs
and which qualify for low-income  housing credits (Tax Credits)  pursuant to the
Internal Revenue Code by the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

The Partnership's  general partner is Murphey Favre  Properties,  Inc., (MFP), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of WM Financial, Inc. which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Washington Mutual Bank (WMB).

The Partnership completed its public offering of units of limited partnership on
April 14, 1989 with proceeds totaling  $3,511,000 through the sale of 703 units.
There are 331 limited partners and one General Partner in the Partnership.

Each Property  Partnership has, as its general partner,  one or more individuals
or an entity not affiliated  with the Partnership or MFP. In accordance with the
Partnership Agreements under which such entities are organized,  the Partnership
depends on the DGP's for the management of each Property Partnership.

During the  quarter,  management's  emphasis was on the  continued  operation of
eleven  properties placed in service.  The properties  maintained high levels of
occupancy.  At September 30, 1997,  five  properties  were 100%  occupied,  five
properties were between 94% and 97% occupied, and one property was 79% occupied.

Results of Operations

On a consolidated basis, net income before depreciation and amortization for the
third quarter 1997 was ($7,771) compared with net income before depreciation and
amortization  in the third quarter of 1996 of $36,353.  Rental  revenues for the
third quarter of 1997 were dowm 1.3% from the third quarter 1996 while the third
quarter  1997  expenses  including  depreciation  were  down 2.0% from the third
quarter 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership completed its public offering of units of limited partnership on
April 14, 1989, with proceeds totaling $3,511,000 from 339 limited partners. The
Partnership   invested  $2,542,000  of  offering  proceeds  in  eleven  Property
Partnerships.

Offering proceeds equal to $175,750 were reserved by the Partnership to fund its
operating  expenses.  As of  September  30,  1997,  the  cash  reserves  of  the
Partnership  totaled  $11,708.  It is expected that the Partnership will draw on
the reserves in future quarters to fund accounting and other operating  expenses
of the Partnership.  Nominal cash distributions  from the Property  Partnerships
will  supplement the cash reserves.  It is expected that all cash  distributions
received  from the Property  Partnerships  will be used to defray the  operating
expenses of the Partnership and thus it is not likely any  distribution  will be
made to the limited partners.

The  Partnership  is not  required to fund  additional  amounts to the  Property
Partnerships based on each Property Partnership  agreement.  Additionally,  each
Property  Partnership  is operated  as an  individual  project,  and without any
contractual  arrangements of any kind between the Property Partnerships.  In the
third  quarter  1997,  four  properties  generated  deficit  cash flow and seven
generated  positive cash flow.  The deficits were funded by cash reserves of the
Property Partnerships.

Included in cash deposits on the  consolidated  balance  sheets were $11,708 and
$7,197,  held as deposits by the Partnership in Washington  Mutual Bank accounts
as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  Washington Mutual
Bank is affiliated with MFP, the general partner of the Partnership.

There are no additional acquisitions nor any dispositions planned.
