      If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

[X] [ ]     (a)   The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
                  form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
                  expense;

[_] [X]     (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
                  report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form
                  N-CSR, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the 15th
                  calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject

                  distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof will be

                  12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III - NARRATIVE

      State below in reasonable detail why the Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be

      Registrant submitted a letter to the SEC on August 1, 2006 requesting a
waiver for certain technical exceptions in advance of filing its Form 10-K for
the year ended March 30, 2006. Registrant intends to file its Form 10-K and the
Form 10-Q for which this Form 12b-25 has been prepared pending receipt of a
response from the SEC to Registrant's prior correspondence and any further
resolution that may be required.

      Although Registrant's Form 10-Q for the period ended June 29, 2006 has
been prepared, as a result of awaiting the response to the waiver request noted
above, Registrant cannot represent that such Form 10-Q will be filed within the
grace period provided for under Rule 12b-25.

                                  ATTACHMENT I



The net loss of Registrant decreased by approximately $155,000 as compared to
the year ended March 30, 2005, primarily as a result of an increase in other
income from local partnerships of approximately $142,000 and a gain on disposal
of a local partnership interest of $40,000, partially offset by an increase in
equity in loss of investment in local partnerships of approximately $30,000.
