NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2014
(Unaudited)
Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P. (the "Fund") was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware as of September 19, 1991 for the purpose of acquiring, holding, and disposing of limited partnership interests in operating partnerships which will acquire, develop, rehabilitate, operate and own newly constructed, existing or rehabilitated low-income apartment complexes ("Operating Partnerships"). Effective as of June 1, 2001 there was a restructuring, and as a result, the Fund's general partner was reorganized as follows. The general partner of the Fund continues to be Boston Capital Associates III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The general partner of the general partner of the Fund is now BCA Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation whose limited partners are Herbert F. Collins and John P. Manning. Mr. Manning is the principal of Boston Capital Partners, Inc. The limited partner of the general partner is Capital Investment Holdings, a general partnership whose partners are various officers and employees of Boston Capital Partners, Inc. and its affiliates. The assignor limited partner is BCTC III Assignor Corp., a Delaware corporation which is wholly-owned by Herbert F. Collins and John P. Manning.
Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Fund filed a Form S-11 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective January 24, 1992 which covered the offering (the "Public Offering") of the Fund's beneficial assignee certificates ("BACs") representing assignments of units of the beneficial interest of the limited partnership interest of the assignor limited partner. The Fund registered 20,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in one or more series. On September 4, 1993 the Fund filed an amendment to Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which registered an additional 2,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in one or more series. The registration for the additional BACs became effective on October 6, 1993. Offers and sales of BACs in Series 15 through 19 of the Fund were completed and the last of the BACs in Series 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 were issued by the Fund on September 26, 1992, December 28, 1992, September 17, 1993, September 22, 1993, and December 17, 1993, respectively. The Fund sold 3,870,500 of Series 15 BACs, for a total of $38,705,000; 5,429,402 of Series 16 BACs, for a total of $54,293,000; 5,000,000 of Series 17 BACs, for a total of $50,000,000; 3,616,200 of Series 18 BACs, for a total of $36,162,000; and 4,080,000 of Series 19 BACs, for a total of $40,800,000. As of September 30, 2014, 3,865,900 BACs in Series 15, 5,423,102 BACs in Series 16, 4,995,887 BACs in Series 17, 3,616,200 BACs in Series 18, and 4,080,000 BACs in Series 19, respectively, are outstanding. The Fund issued the last BACs in Series 19 on December 17, 1993. This concluded the Public Offering of the Fund.

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

* Fund proceeds from disposition does not include the following amount which was due to a writeoff of capital contribution payable of $6,086 for Series 17.
The gain described above is for financial statement purposes only. There are significant differences between the equity method of accounting and the tax reporting of income and losses from Operating Partnership investments. The largest difference is the ability, for tax purposes, to deduct losses in excess of the Fund's investment in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the amount of gain recognized for tax purposes may be significantly higher than the gain recorded in the condensed financial statements.
The Fund's fiscal year ends March 31st of 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 Partnerships quarterly period. Accordingly, the current financial results available for the Operating Partnerships are for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS
The Fund's taxable loss for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014 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.
NOTE F - INCOME TAXES
The Fund has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Fund's federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a partnership. Accordingly, the Fund is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Fund is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Fund has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.Income tax returns filed by the Fund are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2010 remain open.
NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the Fund has entered into an agreement to sell the interest in two operating limited partnerships. The estimated sales prices and other terms for the disposition of the operating limited partnerships has been determined. The estimated proceeds to be received for the operating limited partnerships is $772,835. The estimated gain on sales of the operating limited partnerships is $597,835 and is expected to be recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.
Item 2. Management's Discussions 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, 2014. 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.
The Fund's primary source of funds was the proceeds of its Public Offering. Other sources of liquidity include (i) interest earned on capital contributions unpaid for the six months ended September 30, 2014 or on working capital reserves, (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund has invested and (iii) proceeds received from the dispositions of the Operating Partnership that are returned to fund reserves. These sources of liquidity, along with the Fund's working capital reserve, are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership. 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, 2014 were $190,341 and total fund management fees accrued as of September 30, 2014 were $17,417,281. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, $1,107,744 of accrued fund management fees were 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.
As of September 30, 2014, an affiliate of the general partner of the Fund advanced a total of $635,362 to the Fund to pay some operating expenses of the Fund, and to make advances and/or loans to Operating Partnerships. These advances are included in Accounts payable-affiliates. During the six months ended September 30, 2014 there were no advances. Below is a summary, by series, of the total advances made to date.

As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Fund held limited partnership interests in 90 and 98 Operating Partnerships, respectively. 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 incurs a fund management fee to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership (formerly Boston Capital Communications Limited Partnership), or BCAMLP, in an amount equal to .5 percent of the aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of various 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, 2014 are as follows:
| 3 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.

Series 15
As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 21 properties September 30, 2014, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.
For the six month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, Series 15 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(189,936) and $(178,076), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $463,641 and $577,821, respectively. This is an interim period estimate; it is not indicative of the final year end results.
Beckwood Manor Eight Limited Partnership (Lakeside Apartments) is a 32-unit senior property located in Lake Village, Arkansas. The property receives rental assistance for 23 units and is more successful renting these units. It remains difficult to rent the units that do not have rental assistance. There are several other low income tax credit developments in the area offering rental assistance, and the property's continued low occupancy is attributed to this competition. Management advertises the property in Lake Village's local paper and in several other regional newspapers. The property also distributes fliers to all surrounding communities; however, management believes word of mouth and referrals are the most effective forms of marketing. Management also noted that crime is an issue in the area and has hired two police officers to work at the property to offset potential security concerns. One officer serves as property manager while the other officer handles maintenance responsibilities. As there have been no major security incidents reported at the property, the addition of security is a proactive measure. Property occupancy averaged 57% in 2013 and was 56% at the end of September 2014. As a result of the low occupancy, the property continues to operate below breakeven. Deficits are primarily funded by accruing management fees and management payroll due to an affiliate of the operating partner. The mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance, are all current as of September 30, 2014. On December 31, 2010, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Beckwood Manor Eight.
Livingston Plaza, Limited (Livingston Plaza) is a 24-unit, family property located in Livingston, Texas. The property has struggled with occupancy level for several years. Despite efforts to improve the reputation of the property and reduce resident turnover and evictions, occupancy averaged 66% through September 30, 2014, compared to 66% in 2013. The continued low occupancy is partially due to economic conditions in the area and lack of qualified applicants. Management reports that trailer home ownership is very affordable in the area and often monthly mortgage payments are at a similar level as the rents at Livingston Plaza. There are also several competitive properties less than a mile from the property. Marketing consists of advertisements in local newspapers and distributing fliers to local businesses, churches, and schools. With the low occupancy and despite operating expenses tightly controlled by the operating general partner including its affiliated management company only charging a partial management fee to manage the property, Livingston Plaza continued to operate below breakeven through the third quarter of 2014. Mortgage payments, real estate taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are current as of September 30, 2014. The operating general partner guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Livingston Plaza. The investment general partner has investigated various disposition strategies for this property that would be consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership and has concluded that it is unlikely that any proceeds will be available for distribution to the investment limited partners from the disposition of the property or the Operating Partnership.
University Meadows L.D.H.A. Limited Partnership (University Meadows Apartments) is a 52-unit, elderly property located in Detroit, MI. The property struggled with low occupancy in 2013, but occupancy rebounded in 2014 due to increased marketing. Occupancy is averaging 97% year to date, ending September 2014 at 98%. However, the property continued to operate below breakeven as a result of increased operating expenses. Administrative expenses were high due to the increased marketing required to fill the vacant units. Maintenance costs increased due to unit turn costs and security expenses. University Meadows also operated below breakeven in 2013, mostly because of low occupancy. Operating cash available from previous years and the operating reserve have been used to fund the deficits. However, the operating reserve was depleted in January 2014. The property is currently funding the deficit by accruing payables. The investment general partner will monitor operations to ensure payables do not increase to unsustainable levels. On December 31, 2007, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to University Meadows.
In December 2013, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Ridgeview Apartments of Brainerd, LP to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $804,186 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $24,326. Of the total proceeds received, $1,080 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $2,500 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which include third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of approximately $20,746 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 15. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the transfer of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $20,746 as of December 31, 2013.
In February 2014, the investment general partner of East Park Apartments I, LP approved an agreement to sell the property to a third party buyer and the transaction closed in June 2014. The sales price for the property is $850,000, which includes the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $685,000 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $335,000. Of the proceeds received by the investment partnership, $21,300 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and $5,000 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which include third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds from the sale of approximately $308,700 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 15. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero.

Butler Rental Housing LP (Forest Pointe Apartments) is a 25-unit family property located in Butler, Georgia. In 2013 the property operated below breakeven due to low occupancy caused by a weak rental market. Occupancy began to decline in June 2011 and continued to show weakness through all of 2012, averaging 80% for the year. However, occupancy showed some improvement in 2013, averaging 84% for the year. The management company hired a new onsite and district manager in 2012. They improved operations by increasing marketing efforts and offering tenant referral incentives to counter the effects of the weak rental market. As a result, the property was 100% occupied as of September 30, 2014. The property operated below breakeven in 2013 primarily due to the high vacancy losses. Through the first nine months of 2014 the property has operated above breakeven. The property's cash flow is expected to continue to improve with the increased occupancy and reduced marketing costs. The mortgage, tax, and insurance payments are all current. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Butler Rental Housing LP.
Blairsville Rental Housing, Limited Partnership (Tan Yard Branch Apartments I) is a 24-unit family property located in Blairsville, GA. The property has performed poorly over the last several years due to locally weak economic conditions. As a result of the tenant base being largely composed of hourly-wage employees, evictions and move-outs continue to keep occupancy low. The property's rural location also limits property traffic and exposure, further contributing to the weak occupancy. Management has aggressively marketed the community by distributing fliers throughout the area and by having directional signage installed. In addition, a tenant referral program was implemented and move-in specials are being offered. Occupancy increased slightly from an average of 84% in 2012 to 85% in 2013. Through the third quarter of 2014 the property has averaged just 73% occupancy. The operating general partner continues to fund deficits as needed. The mortgage, real estate taxes, and insurance payments are all current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Blairsville Rental Housing.
Greenfield Properties, Limited Partnership (Greenfield Properties) is a 20-unit elderly property located in Greenfield, Missouri.

Occupancy has improved in the second and third quarters of 2014, with the property achieving 85% occupancy as of September 30, 2014. The improvement in occupancy can be attributed to an increase in the hours that the leasing office is open. The increased hours has allowed the manager to meet with more prospective residents. Management has worked to improve controllable expenses, but utility costs continue to be high as there was a city wide increase in sewer rates. There was also an underground water leak at the property in 2014. The leak was located and fixed, which has resulted in lower utility expenses in the third quarter. All taxes, insurance, and mortgage payments are current as of September 30, 2014. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Greenfield Properties, Limited Partnership. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Average occupancy increased slightly from 73% in the first quarter to 76% in the third quarter of 2014. The property continues to operate below breakeven. The Operating Partnership's balance sheet shows insufficient operating cash to cover accounts payable; however, the majority of payables are due to affiliated entities. The operating general partner has stated that operating deficits will continue to be funded by deferring related party management fees and, if necessary, they will advance funds to the Operating Partnership. The investment general partner inspected the property on March 17, 2014, and found it to be in fair condition, due to maintenance concerns including soil erosion and the upkeep of the common area corridors. The operating general partner stated that the areas of concern will be addressed and repaired within the year. The mortgage, tax, and insurance payments are all current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Natchitoches Elderly Apartments LP. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Newton I, Limited Partnership (Newton Plaza Apartments) is a 24-unit family development located in Newton, Iowa. Occupancy has trended downward since 2009, causing below breakeven operations. The management company attributed the poor occupancy to soft market conditions. Occupancy improved to an average of 85% in 2013 after the management company increased advertising in the local area and began offering rental incentives. However, the property operated below breakeven in 2013 primarily due to an increase in maintenance costs associated with flooring repairs. Occupancy in the third quarter of 2014 has improved to 92% and the property is operating above breakeven because of the increased occupancy and stabilized operating expenses. A site visit was completed in June 2012 and the property was found to be in good condition. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Newton I, LP. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
In November 2012, the operating general partner of Bear Creek of Naples entered into an agreement to sell the property to a non-affiliated third party buyer and the transaction closed on December 12, 2012. The sales price of the property was $6,960,000, which included the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $4,608,790 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $833,501. Of the total proceeds received by the investment partnership, $15,000 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which include third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds from the sale of $818,501 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 18. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $818,501 as of December 31, 2012. The gain on the sale includes a receivable in the amount of $70,000, which was recorded for Series 18 as of December 31, 2012. In February 2013, additional sale proceeds of $20,000 were received and returned to the cash reserves held by Series 18. In May 2013, additional sale proceeds of $13,000 were received and returned to the cash reserves held by Series 18.
Marengo Park Apartments LP (West Pine Homes) is a 24-unit property located in Marengo Park, IA. Occupancy has historically been an issue at the property, mainly due to evictions for nonpayment of rent and residents vacating because of job losses. Occupancy averaged 80% in 2013, but showed improvement in the last four months of the year. Occupancy continued to improve in 2014 and averaged 96% in the third quarter. The improvement in occupancy follows a recent increase in marketing efforts including advertising on Rent.com and in the Local Free Shopper (which covers three cities/towns), posting fliers in the local community, frequent contacts with local housing agencies, as well as 'for rent' signs located on the property. Due to expense control and the improvement in occupancy at year-end, the property operated above breakeven in 2013. The property continued to operate above breakeven through the third quarter of 2014. All debt service, taxes, and insurance are current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Marengo Park Apartments. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
In August 2013, the investment general partner of Series 18 and Series 19 transferred their interests in Clarke School LP, to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $2,716,511 and cash proceeds to the investment partnerships of $14,150 and $5,850, for Series 18 and Series 19, respectively. Of the total proceeds received, $9,150 and $5,850, for Series 18 and 19, respectively, represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnerships and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $5,000 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. No proceeds were returned to cash reserves held by Series 18 and Series 19, respectively. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership's investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, no gain or loss on the transfer of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded as of September 30, 2013. In addition, the investment general partner on behalf of the investment partnership entered into a residual receipt promissory note (the RRN) with the Operating Partnership for receipt of a residual payment. Under the terms of the RRN, if there were a capital transaction involving the property owned by the Operating Partnership at any time within five years from the initial transfer date, there would be residual payment of 50% of any net distributable proceeds due to the investment partnership in effect at the date the investment limited partners transferred their respective interests.
In December 2013, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Rio Grande Apartments, LTD. to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $1,767,137 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $63,305. Of the total proceeds received, $45,787 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $2,500 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which include third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of approximately $15,018 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 18. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership. After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the transfer of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $15,018 as of December 31, 2013. In addition, the investment general partner on behalf of the investment partnership entered into a residual receipt promissory note (the RRN) with the Operating Partnership for receipt of a residual payment. Under the terms of the RRN, if there is a capital transaction involving the property owned by the Operating Partnership at any time within 5 years from the initial transfer date, there would be residual payment distributable to the investment partnership in accordance with the Operating Partnership Agreement in effect at the date the investment limited partner transferred its interest.
Series 19
As of September 30, 2014 and 2013 the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 8 properties at September 30, 2014, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

Carrollton Villa, L.P. (Meadow Ridge Apartments), is a 35-unit family project in Carrollton, Missouri. The property entered into a mortgage modification agreement in 2010 that converted the hard debt note to a soft note payable from surplus cash. The Missouri Housing Development Commission approved a rent increase effective May 1, 2013. Occupancy is averaging 98% through September 30, 2014. High operating expenses, specifically administrative and maintenance costs have been the primary cause of the deficit. The increase in maintenance costs is due to unit turnover. The real estate taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Carrollton Villas. The investment general partner continues to look at various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Sherwood Knoll L.P. (Sherwood Knoll Apartments) is a 24-unit family project in Rainsville, Alabama. Management has struggled to maintain an average occupancy of 90% since 2011.

The operating deficit guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. Mortgage and insurance are all current.

The operating general partner and affiliated management company have been unresponsive to all calls and written attempts to discuss the property's operations. The 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2008.

Principal Accounting Policies and Estimates
The condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require the Fund to make various estimates and assumptions. 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 are 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. The purpose of an impairment analysis is to verify that the real estate investment balance reflected on the balance sheet does not exceed the value of the underlying investments.
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.
In accordance with the accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Fund determines when it 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. The analysis that must be performed to determine which entity should consolidate a VIE focuses on control and economic factors. 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 has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
Based on this guidance, the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund invests meet the definition of a VIE because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, management does not consolidate the Fund's interests in these VIEs, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities. The Fund currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheets, 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 advances made to Operating Partnerships 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 Housing Complexes as well as the strength of the general partners and their guarantee against credit recapture to the investors of the Fund.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in qualified affordable housing projects. The amendments provide guidance on accounting for investments by a reporting entity in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit. The amendments permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received, and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2014 and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to materially affect the Partnership's financial statements.

| (a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
|
| As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Fund's general partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of C&M Management Inc., carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Fund's "disclosure controls and procedures" as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole. Based on that evaluation, the Fund's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Fund's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information relating to any series or the Fund as a whole required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Fund's management, including the Fund's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole. |
