tender offer disclosed in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 dated 
July 24, 1997, as amended by the amendment thereto dated August 18, 1997, by

the competing tender offer by Everest Tax Credit Investors, LLC, a California 
limited liability company, and Everest Tax Credit Investors II, LLC, a 
California limited liability (together, Everest") disclosed in a Tender Offer 
Statement on Schedule 14D-1 dated August 11, 1997.  This Amendment amends the 
previously filed Schedule 14D-9 to reflect the changes to date in each of the 
tender offers.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the 
meaning ascribed to them in the Previously Filed Schedule 14D-9.

    Item 2.   Tender Offer of the Bidder.

    Item 2 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
 
    This Schedule 14D-9 relates to the following two offers:

    1.  The Oldham Offer:  The offer by Oldham Institutional Tax Credits LLC 
("Oldham"), a Massachusetts limited liability company and an affiliate of the 
General Partners, disclosed in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 
dated July 24, 1997, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated August 18, 
1997 and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated August 25, 1997 
(as amended the "Oldham Schedule 14D-1"), to purchase up to 17,200 issued and 
outstanding Units upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in 
the Offer to Purchase dated July 24, 1997, as supplemented by the Supplement 
thereto dated August 18, 1997 and as further supplemented by the Supplement 
thereto dated August 25, 1997, and the related Letter of Transmittal, as each 
may be supplemented, modified or amended from time to time (which 
collectively constitute the "Oldham Offer" and are contained within the 
Oldham Schedule 14D-1).  Oldham has increased the purchase price for the 
Oldham Offer from $635 per Unit to $675 per Unit, net to the seller in cash 
(the "Oldham Purchase Price"), without interest thereon.
 
    The address of Oldham's principal executive offices is 101 Arch Street, 
Boston, Massachusetts 02110.
 
    2.  The Everest Offer:  The offer by Everest Tax Credit Investors, LLC, a

LLC, a California limited liability company (together, "Everest"), disclosed 
in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 dated August 11, 1997 as 
amended by the amendment thereto dated August 20, 1997 (as amended the 
"Everest Schedule 14D-1"), to purchase up to 3,500 issued and outstanding 
Units upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to 
Purchase dated August 11, 1997 as supplemented by the Supplement thereto 
dated August 20, 1997, and the related 



Letter of Transmittal, as each may be supplemented, modified or amended from 
time to time (which collectively constitute the "Everest Offer" and are 
contained within the Everest Schedule 14D-1).  Everest has increased the 
purchase price for the Everest Offer  from $600 per Unit to $675 per Unit 
(the "Everest Purchase Price"), without interest thereon.

    The address of Everest's principal executive offices is 199 South Rubles 
Avenue, Suite 440, Pasadena, California 91101.
 
    Item 4.   The Solicitation or Recommendation.

    Item 4(a) is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

    (a)  1.  The Oldham Offer:  Following receipt of the terms of the Oldham 
Offer as supplemented on August 18, 1997 and as further supplemented on 
August 25, 1997, the General Partners again reviewed and considered the 
Oldham Offer. Because of the conflict of interest resulting from the 
affiliation between Oldham and the General Partners, the General Partners are 
expressing no opinion and are remaining neutral with respect to the Oldham 
Offer.
 
         2.  The Everest Offer:  Following receipt of the terms of the 
Everest Offer, as supplemented on August 20, 1997, the General Partners again 
reviewed and considered the Everest Offer.  Because of the conflict of 
interest resulting from the affiliation between Oldham and the General 
Partners, the General Partners are expressing no opinion and are remaining 
neutral with respect to the Everest Offer.

    Item 4(b) is hereby amended by replacing the fifth bullet paragraph in 
its entirety with the following bullet paragraph:

    - The Everest Offer is for $675 per Unit.  The Oldham Offer is also for 
      $675 per Unit.
