(UNAUDITED)





1.
            Basis
      of Presentation





The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) for interim financial information.  They do not include all
information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements.  The results of operations are impacted, in part, by the
combined results of operations of the Local Partnerships, which are provided by
the Local Partnerships on an unaudited basis during interim
periods.  Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
are dependent on such unaudited information.  In the opinion of the
General Partner, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 29,
2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature.  The results of operations for the three months ended June 29,
2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire year.





2.
            Investment
      in Local Partnerships





The
Partnership originally acquired limited partner interests (the “Local
Partnership Interests”) in nineteen Local Partnerships representing capital
contributions in the aggregate amount of $36,228,149, which includes voluntary
advances made to certain Local Partnerships and all of which has been
paid.  As of June 29, 2010, the Partnership holds a Local Partnership
Interest in ten Local Partnerships (see discussion below regarding the potential
sale of a Local Partnership Interest).  The Partnership has no legal
obligation to fund any operating deficits of the Local
Partnerships.





For the
three months ended June 29, 2010, the investment in local partnerships activity
consists of the following:

              In
      the event the operations of a Local Partnership result in a loss, equity
      in loss of each investment in Local Partnership allocated to the
      Partnership is recognized to the extent of the Partnership’s investment
      balance in each Local Partnership.  Equity in loss in excess of
      the Partnership’s investment balance in a Local Partnership is allocated
      to other partners’ capital in any such Local
  Partnership.





In
September 2009, the Partnership entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) to sell its Local Partnership Interest in Federal Apartments Limited
Partnership (“Federal”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner of Federal
for $334,000.  The Purchase Agreement is subject to the approval of
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and there
can be no assurance that the Local Partnership Interest will be sold under the
terms of the Purchase Agreement.  The Partnership’s investment balance
in Federal, after cumulative equity losses, became zero during the year ended
March 30, 1997.

2.
            Investment
      in Local Partnerships (Continued)




Cobbet
Hill Associates Limited Partnership (“Cobbet”) was originally financed with a
first mortgage with mandatory monthly payment terms with the Massachusetts
Housing Finance Agency (“MHFA”) and a second mortgage with MHFA under the State
Housing Assistance for Rental Production Program (the “SHARP Operating Loan”)
whereby proceeds would be advanced monthly as an operating subsidy (the
“Operating Subsidy Payments”).  The terms of the SHARP Operating Loan
called for declining Operating Subsidy Payments over its term (not more than 15
years).  However, due to the economic condition of the Northeast
region in the early 1990’s, MHFA instituted an operating deficit loan (the
“ODL”) program that supplemented the scheduled reduction in the Operating
Subsidy Payments.  Effective October 1, 1997, MHFA announced its
intention to eliminate the ODL program, such that Cobbet no longer receives the
ODL, without which Cobbetis unable to make the full mandatory debt
service payments on its first mortgage.  MHFA issued a formal notice
of default dated February 2, 2004.  The Local General Partners of
Cobbet have informed MHFA that they would transfer the ownership of the Property
to the unaffiliated management agent or to other parties, which might redevelop
and recapitalize the Property.  The Partnership does not believe that
it will receive any proceeds from such a transfer.  Since the date
MHFA ceased funding the ODL through December 31, 2009, Cobbet has accumulated
over $9,050,000 of arrearages and other charges on the first mortgage; as a
result of the default, principal and accrued interest in excess of $23,000,000
in connection with the first mortgage, the SHARP Operating Loan and the ODL are
considered currently due.  Cumulative voluntary advances made by the
Partnership to Cobbet as of June 29, 2010 total $392,829, none of which were
made during the three months then ended.  Such voluntary advances were
recorded as investment in local partnerships and were written off as additional
equity in loss of investment in local partnerships.  The Partnership’s
investment balance in Cobbet, after cumulative equity losses, became zero during
the year ended March 30, 1994.





3.
            Investment
      in Mutual Fund





The
Partnership carries its investment in mutual fund (the “Fund”) at estimated fair
value.  The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in mutual fund
is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy of the guidance on
Fair Value Measurements as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 820.  Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the
ability to access.  The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is $9.98 per
share as of June 29, 2010.  The unrealized loss of $3,110 is included
as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying
unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 29,
2010.





4.
            Investment
      in Bond





The
Partnership carries its investment in bond as available-for-sale because such
investment is used to facilitate and provide flexibility for its obligations,
including resolving circumstances that may arise in connection with the Local
Partnerships.  Investment in bond is reflected in the accompanying
unaudited balance sheet as of June 29, 2010 at estimated fair value and is
classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy of the guidance on
Fair Value Measurements (see discussion in Note 3 above).  The
unrealized loss of $1,615 is included as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive loss in the accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and
for the three months ended June 29, 2010.





As of
June 29, 2010, certain information concerning investment in bond is as

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





Material Changes in
Financial Condition





As of
June 29, 2010, American Tax Credit Properties L.P. (the “Registrant”) has not
experienced a significant change in financial condition as compared to March 30,
2010.  Principal changes in assets are comprised of periodic
transactions and adjustments and equity in income (loss) from operations of the
local partnerships (the “Local Partnerships”), which own low-income multifamily
residential complexes (the “Properties”) that qualified for the low-income tax
credit in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
“Low-income Tax Credit”).  During the three months ended June 29,
2010, Registrant received cash from interest revenue and distributions from
Local Partnerships and utilized cash for operating expenses and investments in a
mutual fund and a bond.  Cash and cash equivalents, investment in
mutual fund and investment in bond decreased, in the aggregate, by approximately
$80,000 during the three months ended June 29, 2010 (which includes unrealized
losses on investment in mutual fund and investment in bond in the aggregate of
approximately $5,000).  Registrant intends to hold the bond until its
call date (September 2013) and therefore does not expect to realize significant
gains or losses on its investment in bond, if any.  During the three
months ended June 29, 2010, the investment in local partnerships increased as a
result of Registrant's equity in the Local Partnerships' net income for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 of $7,941.  Payable to general
partner and affiliates represents deferred administration and management fees in
the accompanying unaudited balance sheet as of June 29, 2010.





Results of
Operations





Registrant’s
operating results are dependent, in part, upon the operating results of the
Local Partnerships and are impacted by the Local Partnerships’
policies.  In addition, the operating results herein are not
necessarily the same for tax reporting.  Registrant accounts for its
investment in local partnerships in accordance with the equity method of
accounting.  Accordingly, the investment is carried at cost and is
adjusted for Registrant’s share of each Local Partnership’s results of
operations and by cash distributions received.  In the event the
operations of a Local Partnership result in a loss, equity in loss of each
investment in Local Partnership allocated to Registrant is recognized to the
extent of Registrant’s investment balance in each Local
Partnership.  Equity in loss in excess of Registrant’s investment
balance in a Local Partnership is allocated to other partners’ capital in any
such Local Partnership.





Cumulative
losses and cash distributions in excess of investment in local partnerships may
result from a variety of circumstances, including a Local Partnership's
accounting policies, subsidy structure, debt structure and operating deficits,
among other things.  In addition, the book value of Registrant’s
investment in each Local Partnership (the “Local Partnership Carrying Value”)
may be reduced if the Local Partnership Carrying Value is considered to exceed
the estimated value derived by management.  Accordingly, cumulative
losses and cash distributions in excess of the investment or an adjustment to a
Local Partnership’s Carrying Value are not necessarily indicative of adverse
operating results of a Local Partnership.





Registrant’s
operations for the three months ended June 29, 2010 and 2009 resulted in net
losses of $106,433 and $126,882, respectively.  The decrease in net
loss from fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2010 is primarily attributable to an increase in
equity in income of investment in local partnerships of approximately $18,000,
which is attributable to an increase in the net operating income of the Local
Partnership in which Registrant continues to have an investment
balance.  Other comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 29,
2010 resulted from net unrealized losses on investment in mutual fund and
investment in bond of $3,110 and $1,615, respectively.

2.  Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Continued).





Local Partnership
Matters





Registrant's
primary objective, to provide Low-income Tax Credits to its limited partners
(the “Limited Partners”), has been completed.  The relevant state tax
credit agency allocated each of the Local Partnerships an amount of Low-income
Tax Credits, which are generally available for a ten year period from the year
the Property is placed in service (the “Ten Year Credit Period”).  The
Ten Year Credit Period was fully exhausted with respect to all of the Properties
as of December 31, 2003.  The required holding period of each
Property, in order to avoid Low-income Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years
from the year in which the Low-income Tax Credits commence on the last building
of the Property (the "Compliance Period").  The Compliance Period of
all of the Local Partnerships had expired as of December 31, 2004.  In
addition, certain of the Local Partnerships entered into agreements with the
relevant state tax credit agencies whereby the Local Partnerships must maintain
the low-income nature of the Properties for a period which exceeds the
Compliance Period (in certain circumstances, up to 50 years from when the
Property is placed in service, but commonly 30 years from the date any such
Property is placed in service), regardless of a sale of the Properties by the
Local Partnerships after the Compliance Period (the “Extended Use
Provisions”).  Although the Extended Use Provisions do not extend the
Compliance Period of the respective Local Partnerships, such provisions limit
the number and availability of potential purchasers of the
Properties.  Accordingly, a sale of a Property may happen well after
the expiration of the Compliance Period and/or may be significantly
discounted.  Registrant is in the process of disposing of its limited
partner interests in the Local Partnerships (the “Local Partnership
Interests”).  As of June 29, 2010, Registrant owns ten of the nineteen
Local Partnership Interests originally acquired (see discussion below regarding
the potential sale of a Local Partnership Interest).  Registrant has
served a demand on the local general partners (the “Local General Partners”) of
all remaining Local Partnerships to commence a sale process to dispose of the
Properties.  In the event a sale cannot be consummated, it is the
General Partner’s intention to sell or assign Registrant’s Local Partnership
Interests.  Following the final disposition of its Local Partnership
Interests, Registrant intends to dissolve.  It is uncertain as to the
amount, if any, that Registrant will receive with respect to each specific
Property from such sales or assignments.  There can be no assurance as
to when Registrant will dispose of its remaining Local Partnership
Interests.





The
Properties are principally comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income
multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United States and
Puerto Rico.  Many of the Local Partnerships receive rental subsidy
payments, including payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 ("Section 8”).  The subsidy
agreements expire at various times.  Since October 1997, the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) has issued a series
of directives related to project based Section 8 contracts that define owners’
notification responsibilities, advise owners of project based Section 8
properties of what their options are regarding the renewal of Section 8
contracts, provide guidance and procedures to owners, management agents,
contract administrators and HUD staff concerning renewal of Section 8 contracts,
provide policies and procedures on setting renewal rents and handling renewal
rent adjustments and provide the requirements and procedures for opting-out of a
Section 8 project based contract.  Registrant cannot reasonably
predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget negotiations, the
outcome of which could result in a reduction in funds available for the various
federal and state administered housing programs including the Section 8
program.  Such changes could adversely affect the future net operating
income before debt service (“NOI”) and debt structure of any or all Local
Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy or similar
subsidies.  Eight Local Partnerships’ Section 8 contracts are
currently subject to renewal under applicable HUD guidelines.  Of the
eight Local Partnerships noted above, five have entered into restructuring
agreements, resulting in a change to both rent subsidy and mandatory debt
service.





The Local
Partnerships have various financing structures which include (i) required debt
service payments ("Mandatory Debt Service") and (ii) debt service payments that
are payable only from available cash flow subject to the terms and conditions of
the notes, which may be subject to specific laws, regulations and agreements
with appropriate federal and state agencies ("Non-Mandatory Debt Service or
Interest").  Registrant has no legal obligation to fund any operating
deficits of the Local Partnerships.





In
September 2009, Registrant entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) to sell its Local Partnership Interest in Federal Apartments Limited
Partnership (“Federal”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner of Federal
for $334,000.  The Purchase Agreement is subject to the approval of
HUD and there can be no assurance that the Local Partnership Interest will be
sold under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.  Registrant’s
investment balance in Federal, after cumulative equity losses, became zero
during the year ended March 30, 1997.

Housing Assistance for Rental Production Program (the “SHARP Operating Loan”)
whereby proceeds would be advanced monthly as an operating subsidy (the

funding the ODL through December 31, 2009, Cobbet has accumulated over
$9,050,000 of arrearages and other charges on the first mortgage; as a result of
the default, principal and accrued interest in excess of $23,000,000 in
connection with the first mortgage, the SHARP Operating Loan and the ODL are
considered currently due.  Registrant’s investment balance in Cobbet,
after cumulative equity losses, became zero during the year ended March 30,
1994.





Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates





The
accompanying unaudited financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”), which requires Registrant to make certain estimates and
assumptions.  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 Registrant’s financial condition and
results of operations.  Registrant 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
accompanying unaudited financial statements.





·
            Registrant
      accounts for its investment in local partnerships in accordance with the
      equity method of accounting.





·
            If
      the book value of Registrant’s investment in a Local Partnership exceeds
      the estimated value derived by management, Registrant reduces its
      investment in any such Local Partnership and includes such reduction in
      equity in loss of investment in local partnerships.  Registrant
      makes such assessment at least annually in the fourth quarter of its
      fiscal year or whenever there are indications that a permanent impairment
      may have occurred.  A loss in value of an investment in a Local
      Partnership other than a temporary decline would be recorded as an
      impairment loss.  Impairment is measured by comparing the
      investment carrying amount to the estimated residual value of the
      investment.





·
            Registrant
      does not consolidate the accounts and activities of the Local
      Partnerships, which are considered Variable Interest Entities as defined
      by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
      Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810; Subtopic 10, because Registrant is not
      considered the primary beneficiary.  Registrant’s balance in
      investment in local partnerships represents the maximum exposure to loss
      in connection with such investments.  Registrant’s exposure to
      loss on the Local Partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial
      performance of the underlying Properties as well as the financial strength
      of the Local General Partners.





Forward-Looking
Information





As a
cautionary note, with the exception of historical facts, the matters discussed
in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking” statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform
Act”).  Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things,
current expectations, forecasts of future events, future actions, future
performance generally, business development activities, capital expenditures,
strategies, the outcome of contingencies, future financial results, financing
sources and availability and the effects of regulation and
competition.  Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,”
“seek,” “estimate” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection
with discussions of future operating or financial performance signify
forward-looking statements.  Registrant may also provide written
forward-looking statements in other materials released to the
public.  Such statements are made in good faith by Registrant pursuant
to the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Reform Act.  Registrant
undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.  Such forward-looking statements involve known risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause Registrant’s actual results of
operations or actions to be materially different from future results of
operations or actions expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements.

Item
3.  Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosure About Market Risk.





Registrant’s
investment in mutual fund (the “Fund”) is subject to certain
risk.  The fixed income securities in which the Fund invests are
subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, counterparty risk,
municipal securities risk, liquidity risk, management risk, government security
risk and valuation risk.  Typically, when interest rates rise, the
market prices of fixed income securities go down.  The Fund is
classified as “non-diversified,” and thus may invest most of its assets in
securities issued by or representing a small number of issuers.  As a
result, the Fund may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these
particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence
affecting these issuers.  These risks could adversely affect the
Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”), yield and total return.





The
market value of Registrant’s investment in bond is subject to fluctuation based
upon changes in interest rates relative to the investment’s maturity date and
the associated bond rating.  Since Registrant’s investment in bond is
callable in 2013, the value of such investment may be adversely impacted in an
environment of rising interest rates in the event Registrant decides to
liquidate the investment prior to its call date.  Although Registrant
may utilize the investment to pay for its operating expenses and/or for certain
Local Partnership matters, it otherwise intends to hold such investment to its
call date.  Therefore, Registrant does not anticipate any material
adverse impact in connection with such investment.





Item
4.  Controls
and Procedures.





Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by Registrant in reports that
Registrant files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and timely reported as provided in SEC rules and
forms.  Registrant periodically reviews the design and effectiveness
of its disclosure controls and procedures, including compliance with various
laws and regulations that apply to its operations.  Registrant makes
modifications to improve the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls
and procedures, and may take other corrective action, if its reviews identify a
need for such modifications or actions.  In designing and evaluating
the disclosure controls and procedures, Registrant recognizes that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.





Registrant
has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and the participation of
its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the general partner of the General Partner, of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of
the three months ended June 29, 2010.  Based upon that evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the general partner of
the General Partner concluded that Registrant’s disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of June 29, 2010.
