PART I
Item 1. Business
Gateway Tax Credit Fund, Ltd. ("Gateway") is a Florida limited
partnership. The general partners are Raymond James Tax Credit Funds,
Inc., the Managing General Partner, and Raymond James Partners, Inc. both
of which are sponsors of Gateway Tax Credit Fund, Ltd. and wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc. Gateway was formed October
27, 1987 and commenced operations as of June 30, 1988 with the first
admission of Limited Partners.
Gateway is engaged in only one industry segment, to acquire limited
partnership interests in unaffiliated limited partnerships ("Project
Partnerships"), each of which owns and operates one or more apartment
complexes eligible for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits under Section 42 of
the Internal Revenue Code ("Tax Credits"), received over a ten year period.
Subject to certain limitations, Tax Credits may be used by Gateway's
investors to reduce their income tax liability generated from other income
sources. Gateway will terminate on December 31, 2040 or sooner, in
accordance with the terms of its Limited Partnership Agreement. Gateway
closed its initial offering of Limited Partnership Interests on March 1,
1990 after receiving capital contributions of $1,000 from the General
Partners and $25,566,000 from Limited Partners.
Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations and Tax
Credits are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners. Profit or loss and cash distributions from sales of interests in
Project Partnerships will be allocated as described in the Limited
Partnership Agreement.
Gateway has invested in 82 Project Partnerships, acquiring a 99% interest
in these properties by becoming the sole limited partner in the Project
Partnerships that own the properties. In October, 1997 Value Partners,
Inc., an affiliate of Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc., became the sole
general partner of one of the Project Partnerships, Village Apartments of
Divernon, Limited Partnership ("Divernon"). See Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for
additional details.
The primary sources of funds for the year ended March 31, 1998 were from
the maturity of Treasury Notes for $375,000, interest income of $19,151
earned on cash and cash equivalents, and $99,301 in distributions received
from Project Partnerships. As of March 31, 1998 Gateway had $545,367 of
Cash and Cash Equivalents and $2,166,945 in investments in securities with
annual maturities each year until 2004, which will be used to meet future
annual operating needs of Gateway.
All Project Partnerships are government subsidized. Most have mortgage
loans from the Farmers Home Administration (now called Rural Housing
Services) ("RHS") under Section 515 of the Housing Act of 1949. These
mortgage loans are made at low interest rates for multi-family housing in
rural and suburban areas, with the requirement that the interest savings be
passed on to low income tenants in the form of lower rents. A significant
portion of the Project Partnerships also receive rental assistance from
RECD to subsidize certain qualifying tenants.
The General Partners do not believe the Project Partnerships are subject
to the risks generally associated with conventionally financed
nonsubsidized apartment properties. Risks related to the operations of
Gateway are described in detail on pages 21 through 33 of the Prospectus,
as supplemented, under the caption "Risk Factors" which is incorporated
herein by reference.
The investment objectives of Gateway are to:
1) Provide tax benefits to Limited Partners in the form of Tax
Credits during the period in which each Project is eligible to
claim tax credits;
2) Preserve and protect the capital contributions of Investors;
3) Participate in any capital appreciation in the value of the
Projects; and
4) Provide passive losses to individual investors to offset
passive income from other passive activities, and provide passive
losses to corporate investors to offset business income.
The investment objectives and policies of Gateway are described in detail
on pages 33 through 38 of the Prospectus, as supplemented, under the
caption "Investment Objectives and Policies" which is incorporated herein
by reference.
Gateway's goal was to invest in a diversified portfolio of Project
Partnerships located in rural and suburban locations with a high demand for
low income housing. As of March 31, 1998 the capital contributions raised
from Limited Partner investors were successfully invested in Project
Partnerships which met the investment criteria. Management anticipates
that competition for tenants will only be with other low income housing
projects, and not with conventionally financed housing. With significant
number of rural American households living below the poverty level in
substandard housing, management believes there will be a continuing demand
for affordable low income housing for the foreseeable future.
Gateway has no direct employees. The General Partners have full and
exclusive discretion in management and control of Gateway.
Item 2. Properties
Gateway owns interest in properties through 99% limited partnership
interests in 82 Project Partnerships. There are no investments in
individual Project Partnerships which are material to Gateway taken as a
whole with the largest single investment comprising 11.7% of Gateway's
total assets. The following table provides certain summary information
regarding the Projects in which Gateway had an interest, excluding Sparta
and Divernon, as of December 31, 1997:

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations -
Gateway commenced operations June 30, 1988. During the offering period,
Gateway received $25,566,000 in capital contributions from investors. The
proceeds available for investment from the capital contributions were used
to acquire interests in Project Partnerships. At December 31, 1989,
Gateway owned an interest in 65 Project Partnerships, and since December
31, 1990, Gateway has owned an interest in 82 Project Partnerships. There
are no unusual events or trends to describe.
As disclosed on the Statements of Operations, interest income was
comparable for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. Total
expense for the year ended March 31, 1997 increased to $651,606 as compared
to $599,363 for the year ended March 31, 1996 primarily as a result of
combining three months of operating expenses of Sparta. Total expense for
the year ended March 31, 1998 increased to $791,121 primarily as a result
of combining a full year of operating expenses of Sparta and three months
of operating expenses of Divernon.
Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships for the year ended March 31,
1998 decreased from $1,365,627 for the year ended March 31, 1997 to
$905,818 as a result of not including losses of $1,540,871, as these losses
would reduce the investment in certain Project Partnerships below zero.
The Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships increased from $1,135,565 for
the year ended March 31, 1996 to $1,365,627 for the year ended March 31,
1997 as Gateway recognized prior suspended losses relating to the Combined
Entity. In general, it is common in the real estate industry to experience
losses for financial and tax reporting purposes because of the non-cash
expenses of depreciation and amortization. (For the twelve months ending
December 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1995, the Project
Partnerships reported depreciation and amortization expense of $3,317,626,
$3,685,935, and $3,316,673, respectively). As a result, management expects
Gateway will continue to report its equity in Project Partnerships as a
loss for tax and financial reporting purposes.
Overall, management believes Gateway is operating as expected and the
Project Partnerships are generating tax credits which meet projections.
However, there are two Project Partnerships that have experienced
significant operating problems which are described below. Management does
not expect any material adverse effect to Gateway from these Project
Partnerships.
On October 1, 1996 Value Partners, Inc. became the sole general partner
of Village Apartments of Sparta Limited Partnership, replacing the former
local general partners. Value Partners, Inc. is an affiliate of Raymond
James Tax Credit Funds, Inc., the managing General Partner of Gateway.
Sparta is a 24 unit property located in Sparta, Illinois in which Gateway
invested as the sole limited partner on August 1, 1989. High vacancy rates
due to the closure of a major area employer and excessive real estate taxes
caused Sparta to experience operating cash shortages and deferred
maintenance. Effective October 1, 1996, a problems resolution plan was
executed between the mortgage lender (RHS) and Sparta. Under the terms of
the plan, a new property management company was hired, Gateway agreed to
loan Sparta approximately $35,000 in 1996 and an additional $11,500 in 1997
to pay delinquent real estate taxes and to complete various maintenance
requirements and RHS reduced the loan payments for a 24 month period
beginning October 1996. Based on current occupancy, the property is
projected to require additional loans from Gateway of approximately $10,000
per year until additional rental assistance becomes available.
On October 1, 1997 Value Partners, Inc. became the sole general partner
of Village Apartments of Divernon Limited Partnership ("Divernon"),
replacing the former general partners. Value Partners, Inc. is an
affiliate of RJ Credit Partners, Inc., the managing general partner of
Gateway. Divernon is a 12 unit property located in Divernon, Illinois in
which Gateway invested as the sole limited partner on October 1, 1989.
There were no cash distributions paid in the fiscal years ended March 31,
1996, 1997, and 1998 and management does not anticipate distributions in
the foreseeable future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources -
Gateway's capital resources are used to pay General and Administrative
operating costs including personnel, supplies, data processing, travel, and
legal and accounting associated with the administration and monitoring of
Gateway and the Project Partnerships. The capital resources are also used
to pay the Asset Management Fee due the Managing General Partner, but only
to the extent that Gateway's remaining resources are sufficient to fund
Gateway's ongoing needs. (Payment of any Asset Management Fee due but
unpaid at the time Gateway sells its interests in the Project Partnerships
is subordinated to the investors return of their original capital
contribution.)
The sources of funds to pay the operating costs are short term
investments and interest earned thereon, the maturity of U.S. Treasury
Security Strips ("Zero Coupon Treasuries") which were purchased with funds
set aside for this purpose, and cash distributed to Gateway from the
operations of the Project Partnerships. At March 31, 1998, Gateway had
$545,367 of short term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also
had $2,166,945 in Zero Coupon Treasuries with maturities providing $397,000
in fiscal year 1999 increasing to $514,000 in fiscal year 2004. Management
believes these sources of funds are sufficient to meet Gateway's current
and ongoing operating costs for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of
the Asset Management Fee.
For the year ending March 31, 1998, Gateway received $100,935 in cash
distributions from the Project Partnerships and it received $375,000 from
the matured Zero Coupon Treasuries. The General and Administrative
operating costs were $80,681 and the Asset Management Fee actually paid was
$307,495.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Partners of
Gateway Tax Credit Fund, Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Gateway Tax
Credit Fund, Ltd. (a Florida Limited Partnership) as of March 31, 1998 and
1997 and the related combined statements of operations, partners' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31,
1998. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these combined financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit
the financial statements of certain underlying Project Partnerships owned
by Gateway Tax Credit Fund, Ltd. for each of the three years in the period
ended March 31, 1998, the investments in which are recorded using the
equity method of accounting. The investments in these partnerships
represent 47% and 52% of the Partnership's total assets as of March 31,
1998 and 1997, and the equity in their losses represents 79%, 88% and 73%
of the equity in losses of the Project Partnerships for the years ended
March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. Those financial statements were audited by
other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for such underlying
partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors,
the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Gateway Tax Credit Fund, Ltd.
as of March 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1998,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed under
Item 14(a)(2) in the index are presented for purposes of complying with the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic
financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in
our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, fairly
state in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth
therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

GATEWAY TAX CREDIT FUND, LTD.
(A Florida Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:
Gateway Tax Credit Fund, Ltd. ("Gateway"), a Florida Limited Partnership,
was formed October 27, 1987 under the laws of Florida. Operations
commenced on June 30, 1988. Gateway invests, as a limited partner, in
other limited partnerships ("Project Partnerships"), each of which owns and
operates apartment complexes expected to qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax
Credits. Gateway will terminate on December 31, 2040 or sooner, in
accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement. Gateway
closed the offering on March 1, 1990 after receiving Limited and General
Partner capital contributions of $25,566,000 and $1,000, respectively. The
fiscal year of Gateway for reporting purposes ends on March 31.
Raymond James Partners, Inc. and Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc.,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc., are the General
Partner and Managing General Partner, respectively. The Managing General
Partner manages and controls the business of Gateway.
Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations and tax
credits are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners. Profit or loss and cash distributions from sales of properties
will be allocated as formulated in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Combined Statements
The accompanying statements include, on a combined basis, the accounts of
Gateway ,Village Apartments of Sparta Limited Partnership and Village
Apartments of Divernon Limited Partnership ("Combined Entities"), two
Project Partnerships in which Gateway has invested. As of October 1, 1996
and October 1, 1997, respectively, an affiliate of Gateway's Managing
General Partner, Value Partners, Inc. became the general partner of the
Combined Entities. Since the general partner of the Combined Entities is
now an affiliate of Gateway, these combined financial statements include
the financial activity of the Combined Entities for the period from October
1, 1996 through December 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1997 for
Sparta and for the period from October 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997
for Divernon. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated. Gateway has elected to report the results of operations
of the Combined Entities on a 3-month lag basis, consistent with the
presentation of financial information of all Project Partnerships.
Basis of Accounting
Gateway utilizes the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are
recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when obligations are
incurred.
Gateway accounts for its investments as the sole limited partner in
Project Partnerships ("Investments in Project Partnerships"), with the
exception of the Combined Entities, using the equity method of accounting
and reports the equity in losses of the Project Partnerships on a 3-month
lag in the Statements of Operations. Under the equity method, the
Investments in Project Partnerships initially include:
1) Gateway's capital contribution,
2) Acquisition fees paid to the General Partner for services rendered
in selecting properties for acquisition, and
3) Acquisition expenses including legal fees, travel and other
miscellaneous costs relating to acquiring properties.
Quarterly the Investments in Project Partnerships are increased or
decreased as follows:
1) Increased for equity in income or decreased for equity in losses of
the Project Partnerships,
2) Decreased for cash distributions received from the Project
Partnerships and,
3) Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and expenses.
Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over 35 years, as
this is the average estimated useful life of the underlying assets. The
net amortization is as amortization expense on the Statements of
Operations.
Pursuant to the limited partnership agreements for the Project
Partnerships, cash losses generated by the Project Partnerships are
allocated to the general partners of those partnerships. In subsequent
years, cash profits, if any, are first allocated to the general partners to
the extent of the allocation of prior years' cash losses.
Since Gateway invests as a limited partner, and therefore is not
obligated to fund losses or make additional capital contributions, it does
not recognize losses from individual Project Partnerships to the extent
that these losses would reduce the investment in those Project Partnerships
below zero. The suspended losses will be used to offset future income from
the individual Project Partnerships.
Gateway recognizes a decline in the carrying value of its investment in
the Project Partnerships when there is evidence of a non-temporary decline
in the recoverable amount of the investment. There is a possibility that
the estimates relating to reserves for non-temporary declines in carrying
value of the investments in Project Partnerships may be subject to material
near term adjustments.
Gateway, as a limited partner in the Project Partnerships, is subject to
risks inherent in the ownership of property which are beyond its control,
such as fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations
in rental schedules, proper maintenance and continued eligibility of tax
credits. If the cost of operating a property exceeds the rental income
earned thereon, Gateway may deem it in its best interest to voluntarily
provide funds in order to protect its investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
It is Gateway's policy to include short-term investments with an original
maturity of three months or less in Cash and Cash Equivalents. Short-term
investments are comprised of money market mutual funds.
Capitalization and Depreciation
Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost and provides for
depreciation using the modified accelerated cost recovery system method for
financial and tax reporting purposes in amounts adequate to amortize costs
over the lives of the applicable assets as follows:
Buildings 27-1/2 years
Equipment 7 years
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. Upon disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate property
accounts are reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation.
The resulting gains and losses are reflected in the statement of income.
Rental Income
Rental income, principally from short-term leases on the Combined
Entity's apartment units, is recognized as income under the accrual method
as the rents become due.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject Gateway to concentrations
of credit risk consist of cash investments in a money market mutual fund
that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates are based on
management's knowledge and experience. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Investment in Securities
Effective April 1, 1995, Gateway adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities ("FAS 115"). Under FAS 115, Gateway is required to
categorize its debt securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or
trading securities, dependent upon Gateway's intent in holding the
securities. Gateway's intent is to hold all of its debt securities (U. S.
Treasury Security Strips) until maturity and to use these reserves to fund
Gateway's ongoing operations. Interest income is recognized ratably on the
U.S. Treasury Strips using the effective yield to maturity.
Offering and Commission Costs
Offering and commission costs were charged against Limited Partners'
Equity upon the admission of Limited Partners.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been made in these financial
statements, as income taxes are a liability of the partners rather than of
Gateway.
Reclassifications
For comparability, the 1997 and 1996 figures have been reclassified,
where appropriate, to conform with the financial statement presentation
used in 1998.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES:
The March 31, 1998 Balance Sheet includes Investments in Securities equal
to $2,166,945 ($374,098 and $1,792,847). These investments consist of U.
S. Treasury Security Strips at their cost, plus accreted interest income of
$964,792. The estimated market value at March 31, 1998 of these debt
securities is $2,354,792 resulting in a gross unrealized gain of $187,847.
As of March 31, 1998, the cost and accreted interest by contractual
maturities is as follows:
Due within 1 year $ 374,466
After 1 year through 5 years 1,384,458
After 5 years through 10 years 408,021
----------
Total Amount Carried on Balance Sheet $2,166,945
==========
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Payable to General Partners primarily represents the asset management
fees owed to the General Partners at the end of the period. It is
unsecured, due on demand and, in accordance with the limited partnership
agreement, non-interest bearing. Within the next 12 months, the Managing
General Partner does not intend to demand payment on the portion of Asset
Management Fees payable classified as long-term on the Balance Sheet.
The General Partners and affiliates are entitled to compensation and
reimbursement for costs and expenses as follows:
Asset Management Fee - The Managing General Partner is entitled to an
annual asset management fee equal to 0.45% of the aggregate cost of
Gateway's interest in the projects owned by the Project Partnerships. The
asset management fee will be paid only after all other expenses of Gateway
have been paid. These fees are included in the Statements of Operations.
Totals incurred for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
$499,712, $502,017 and $502,333, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses - Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc.,
the Managing General Partner, is reimbursed for general and administrative
expenses of Gateway on an accountable basis. These expenses are included
in the Statements of Operations. Totals incurred for the years ended March
31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $30,235, $25,316 and $25,447, respectively.

NOTE 6 - MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE
The mortgage note payable for Sparta is the balance due on the note dated
May 10, 1989 in the amount of $829,545. The loan is at a stated interest
rate of 9.5% for a period of 50 years, the loan also contains a provision
for an interest subsidy which reduces the effective interest rate to 2.4%.
At December 31, 1996 the development was in financial trouble and RHS
("Rural Housing Services") had adjusted loan payments to $700 per month for
24 months beginning October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1998. These
payments are expected to pay the interest due during this period and no
reduction to principal will occur. If the development is in compliance
with the terms of the subsidy agreement the monthly payments are expected
to be $1,760 beginning October 1, 1998.
Expected maturities of the mortgage note payable are as follows:
Year Ending Amount
----------- ------
12/31/98 $ 342
12/31/99 1,391
12/31/00 1,424

Total $822,897
===========
The mortgage note payable for Divernon is the balance due on the note
dated October 2, 1989 in the amount of $416,113. The loan is at a stated
interest rate of 8.75% for a period of 50 years, the loan also contains a
provision for an interest subsidy which reduces the effective interest rate
to 2.4%. At December 31, 1997 the development was in compliance with the
terms of the subsidy agreement and is receiving the reduced rate which
makes the monthly payment $883.
Expected maturities of the mortgage note payable are as follows:

=========== ============ ===========
The Partnership's Investment in Project Partnerships is approximately
$8,403,000 higher for financial reporting purposes than for tax return
purposes because (i) annual tax depreciation expense is higher than
financial depreciation, (ii) certain expenses are not deductible for tax
return purposes and (iii) losses are suspended for financial purposes but
not for tax return purposes.
NOTE 8 - INVESTMENTS IN PROJECT PARTNERSHIPS:
As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership had acquired a 99% interest in the
profits, losses and tax credits as a limited partner in 80 Project
Partnerships, excluding the Combined Entities, which own and operate
government assisted multi-family housing complexes.
Cash flows from operations are allocated according to each Partnership
agreement. Upon dissolution proceeds will be distributed according to each
Partnership agreement.
The following is a summary of Investments in Project Partnerships,
excluding the Combined Entities at March 31, 1998:

flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
Standards and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of River Road Apartments,
A Louisiana Partnership in Commendam at December 31, 1997 and December
31,1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
