Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011
(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 June 30, 2011 5,427,602 BACs in Series 16 are outstanding. The Fund issued the last BACs in Series 19 on December 17, 1993. This concluded the Public Offering of the Fund.

NOTE B - ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES
The condensed financial statements included herein as of September 30, 2011 and for the six months then ended have been prepared by the Fund, without audit. The Fund accounts for its investments in Operating Partnerships using the equity method, whereby the Fund adjusts its investment cost for its share of each Operating Partnership's results of operations and for any distributions received or accrued.

The Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include adjustments in interim periods considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Fund's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The gain (loss) 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, 2011.

* Amounts include $388,968 and $216,813 for 2011 and 2010, respectively, of loss not recognized under the equity method of accounting.
The Fund accounts for its investments using the equity method of
accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Fund adjusts
its investment cost for its share of each Operating Partnership's results of
operations and for any distributions received or accrued. However, the
Fund recognizes individual operating losses only to the extent of
capital contributions. Excess losses are suspended for use in future years to
offset excess income.
Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS
The Fund's taxable loss for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011 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.
NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Fund has entered into agreements to either sell or transfer interests in four Operating Partnerships. The estimated sales prices and other terms for the disposition of the Operating Partnerships have been determined. The estimated proceeds to be received for these four Operating Partnerships are $731,600. The estimated gain on sales of the Operating Partnerships is $250,050 and the sales are expected to be recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year end 2012.
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, 2011. 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 is the proceeds of its Public Offering. Other sources of liquidity will include (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment and on working capital reserves and (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund has invested and will invest. Interest income is expected to decrease over the life of the Fund as capital contributions are paid to the Operating Partnerships and working capital reserves are expended. 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, 2011 were $319,203 and total fund management fees accrued as of September 30, 2011 were $24,026,749. During the three and the six months ended September 30, 2011, $538,250 and $576,500 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, 2011, 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, 2011 there were no advances, however a payment in the amount of $158,334 was paid by Series 18. Below is a summary, by series, of the total advances made to date.

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Fund held limited partnership interests in 141 and 162 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's investment objectives do not include receipt of significant cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested or intends to invest. The Fund's investments in Operating Partnerships have been made principally with a view towards realization of federal housing tax credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.
Series 15
As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 34 properties September 30, 2011, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.
For the six month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Series 15 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(461,042) and $(467,060), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $823,651 and $917,551, 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 generally able to rent 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 obtaining potential residents. In 2010, occupancy averaged 65%, up 8% from 2009 levels. Through the third quarter 2011, the property averaged 56% occupancy and is operating slightly below breakeven. The property operated at breakeven in 2010 by controlling operating expenses, and has continued to minimize operating expenses in 2011 by completing a majority of work orders and property maintenance issues in-house. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits as needed. When necessary, the Operating Partnership has accrued management fees, all of which are due to the operating general partner, in order to fund operating deficits. In February 2011, the property experienced a common area fire on the second floor of the apartment complex. All displaced tenants are temporarily living with family or moved into vacant units at the property. The cost of the fire damage is estimated to be approximately $200,000 and will be covered entirely by insurance proceeds. Repairs are expected to be completed and all units should be back on line by mid-November 2011. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are all current. 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 levels for several years. Despite efforts to improve the reputation of the property and reduce resident turnover and evictions, occupancy averaged 52% in 2010 and was 58% as of September 30, 2011. The property operated at breakeven in 2010 due to tightly controlled operating expenses. 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 the monthly mortgage payment is in line with the rent 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. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are current. 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 is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership. It is unlikely that any proceeds will be available to the investment limited partners from the disposition of the property or partnership.
Greentree Apartments Limited (Sue-Ellen Apartments) is a 24-unit, family property located in Utica, OH. The operating general partner passed away in the second quarter of 2007 and his widow assumed the operating general partner responsibilities. During 2008, communication with the new operating general partner became extremely difficult while operations declined below breakeven. During the first quarter of 2009, the operating general partner learned that the current management company's contract had been terminated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, Rural Development accelerated the note and started foreclosure proceedings. Although the operating general partner appealed, the appeal was denied. The investment general partner learned of these developments from the real estate broker engaged by the operating general partner. The affiliated management company of a potential replacement operating general partner was placed on-site by Rural Development during May 2009. The potential operating general partner had been interested in acquiring the operating general partner and investment general partner interests but attempts by the potential operating general partner to develop a workout plan with Rural Development failed. The foreclosure was completed when the property was sold to a third party on June 8, 2011. The 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2009, and no recapture is anticipated. 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, no gain on the foreclosure of the Operating Partnership was recorded as of June 30, 2011.
In April 2011, the operating general partner of Showboat Manor LDHA entered into an agreement to sell the property to a non-affiliated entity and the transaction closed on July 7, 2011. The sales price of the property was $818,348, which included the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $772,998 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $11,000. Of the total proceeds received by the investment partnership, $6,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the sale. Of the remaining proceeds, $5,000 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. There are no remaining proceeds from the sale to be returned to cash reserves held by Series 15. 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, no gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership was recorded as of September 30, 2011.
In February 2010, the operating general partner of Rainier Manor Associates LP approved an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed on September 29, 2010. The sales price for the property was $3,300,000, which included the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $3,293,443 and cash proceeds to the investment partnerships of $0. No proceeds were returned to cash reserves held by Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund II, LP Series 14 and Series 15, respectively. 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, no gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership was recorded as of September 30, 2010.
In October 2010, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Hearthside II L.D.H.A. LP to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $1,698,026 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $120,000. Of the total proceeds received, $27,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $15,000 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of approximately $78,000 will be 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 sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $78,000 as of December 31, 2010.
In February 2010, the operating general partner of North Prairie Manor L.D.H.A. LP approved an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed on March 30, 2011. The sales price for the property was $939,566, which included the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $829,566 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $69,038. Of the total proceeds received by the investment partnership, $3,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the sale. Of the remaining proceeds, $15,000 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds from the sale of $51,038 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. The sale proceeds were received April 2011; so a receivable in the amount of $69,038 was recorded for Series 15 as of March 31, 2011. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $51,038 as of March 31, 2011.
In March 2011, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Monark Properties, LP to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $291,250 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $15,000. Of the total proceeds received, $7,500 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $7,500 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. There were no remaining proceeds returned to cash reserves held by Series 15. 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, no gain or loss on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded as of March 31, 2011.
In October 2011, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Autumnwood LP to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $1,187,795 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $128,000.

Series 16
As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 38 properties at September 30, 2011, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

This is an interim period estimate; it is not indicative of the final year end results.
Blairsville Rental Housing, Limited Partnership (Tan Yard Branch Apartments I) is a 24-unit Low Income Housing Tax Credit family property located in Blairsville, GA. Due to weak and declining economic conditions, which began in 2009 and have continued through 2011, many employers have closed or significantly reduced employee hours. As a result of a large portion of the tenant base being composed of hourly-wage employees, the number of move-outs and evictions has increased. Management reported that residents who are no longer able to afford rent continue to move back in with friends or family. In addition, other tenants requiring greater personal care have transferred to nursing home facilities, causing occupancy to decline further. Due to the property's rural location, traffic has been limited. Management has been aggressively marketing the community by distributing fliers throughout the area and having brightly colored directional signage installed. Additionally, a tenant referral program and move-in specials are being offered. With these programs in place, occupancy improved in the first quarter of 2011, averaging 86%, from a prior year annual average of 81%. Occupancy declined steadily throughout the second quarter of 2011, reaching a low of 63% in June 2011, but improved again in the third quarter, reaching 84% in September 2011. The investment general partner will continue to work with management in an effort to stabilize operations in 2011. The mortgage, real estate taxes, and insurance payments are current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Blairsville Rental Housing. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
St. Croix Commons Limited Partnership (St. Croix Commons Apartments) is a 40-unit family property located in Woodville, Wisconsin. The property is suffering from a weak rental market. Occupancy at the end of the third quarter of 2011 was 95%; however, low rental rates in the area continue to prevent the property from achieving breakeven operations. The operating general partner's operating deficit guarantee is unlimited in time and amount and he continues to fund operating deficits when necessary. The mortgage, taxes, insurance, and payables are current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to St. Croix Commons. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
In August 2011, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Sable Chase of McDonough to a non-affiliated entity for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $3,077,178 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $150,000.

Of the remaining proceeds, $17,500 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of approximately $68,510 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 16. 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.

Joiner Elderly, Limited Partnership (Joiner Manor) is a 25-unit development in Joiner, AR. In 2009, the property struggled with occupancy issues averaging 80% and the property operated below breakeven for the year. Management attributes the low occupancy to poor economic situations and a smaller tenant pool over the past few years. Newer properties in the area with rental assistance and better amenities are competing with Joiner Manor and are having a negative impact on occupancy. In November 2009, the property entered into a workout plan approved by Rural Development in an attempt to address the vacancy situation. In accordance with the workout plan, the previous site manager was let go and a temporary manager assumed the role. The temporary manager effectively increased occupancy to 76% through March 2010. A new full time manager has since been hired and resides on site. In addition to staffing changes, the management company has been advertising in the local paper and distributing fliers to combat the low occupancy. Occupancy fluctuated throughout 2010, averaging 81% for the year. Despite the low occupancy, the property operated above breakeven in 2010 and has continued to do so through the third quarter of 2011. During the first two quarters of 2011 occupancy dropped substantially averaging 60%. Occupancy has since improved averaging 92% in the third quarter of 2011. Management is currently offering referral fees and reduced rates on units with no Rental Assistance, and is waiving deposits. Management has been coordinating with the local Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) office in an effort to reach out to renters with housing vouchers but with no success. Rural Development approved a $15 rent increase effective January 1, 2011, which should help to improve operations once occupancy increases. Management has confirmed that the property received approval from the Arkansas Development Finance Authority and Rural Development in April 2011 to convert the property from senior tenancy to family. Management began advertising the tenancy change at the end of April 2011, and has reported that the increase in occupancy at the property is largely due to this tenancy change. Management expects occupancy will continue to improve and both regional management and the site manager are working hard to fill any vacant units at the property. The investment general partner will continue to work with the operating general partner to find ways to continue to stabilize operations. The real estate taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current. On December 31, 2007, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Joiner Elderly. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.

Occupancy has trended downward since 2006, and the increased vacancy along with high operating expenses has caused below breakeven operations. In 2010, management hired a new on-site manager to aid in stabilizing operations, and refocused its marketing efforts outside the local area. However, resident issues caused occupancy at the property to further decline. Average occupancy at the end of the year 2010 was 84%. Through the third quarter of 2011, average occupancy was 88%, and as of September 2011, the property was 92% occupied. The property continues to operate below breakeven, despite the recent increase in occupancy. Management is considering changing the name of the property in the hopes of improving the reputation of the site and attracting a better pool of applicants. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Newton I. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Bear Creek of Naples (Bear Creek Apartments) is a 120-unit family development located in Naples, Florida. Occupancy remained strong in the third quarter of 2011, with September occupancy ending at 94%. However, the property continued to operate below breakeven in the third quarter because of high administrative and maintenance expenses as well as a court ordered special assessment fee. Administrative expenses were high as a result of costly legal fees associated with the delinquent mortgage. Additionally, administrative and maintenance expenses were high as money was spent on advertising the property and turning the units for incoming residents. Management continues to run advertisements in the local newspaper and to utilize signs in front of the property displaying rents to drive-by traffic as the property is on a main road. The on-site manager continues to run a strong resident retention program to reduce turnover costs. The program includes various social functions as well as a resident referral program and newsletter. The investment general partner conducted a site visit at the end of the third quarter 2011 to assess the property's physical condition and meet with management to discuss operations. Overall, the property was found to be in adequate physical condition. During the site visit, the investment general partner discovered that the maintenance expenses associated with turnover continue to be high as the residents fail to report maintenance issues. In the fourth quarter 2011, the investment general partner intends to advise management to conduct more thorough monthly unit inspections to prevent major issues and educate residents on the importance of reporting work orders. The property's insurance payments are current but the real estate taxes and mortgage are delinquent. The local tax authority has issued a tax certificate for the delinquent taxes which will accrue interest until paid. The operating general partner has three years to pay the delinquent taxes before the property goes to tax sale. The operating general partner paid the 2010 real estate taxes in the first quarter of 2011 and anticipates paying the 2011 real estate taxes by December 31, 2011 and the 2009 real estate taxes in the beginning of 2012, which is within the allotted three year deadline before the property could face a tax sale. In addition to the delinquent taxes, the mortgage is delinquent as the operating general partner stopped making mortgage payments in June 2010 in an attempt to focus the lender's attention on the property. The operating general partner was attempting to force the lender to reconsider their previous decision to reject any workout plan. In the third quarter 2010, the lender initiated foreclosure proceedings. During the proceedings, the operating general partner argued that a foreclosure would terminate the Operating Partnership's Land Use Restriction Agreement and do a disservice to the community by eliminating the stipulation that the property remain affordable. This approach was successful in delaying foreclosure as the court issued a denial of the lender's motion to appoint a receiver on September 20, 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the operating general partner discussed with the investment limited partner whether the Operating Partnership should declare bankruptcy in order to delay a foreclosure and to maintain control of the property. The investment general partner advised the operating general partner not to file for bankruptcy. However, on June 6, 2011 Bear Creek of Naples, Ltd. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Authority to do so was vested solely with the operating general partner; the investment limited partner did not consent to this action. The court ordered a monthly "special assessments" payment of $20,000 to the lender starting in July 2011. There was a bankruptcy hearing and meeting of creditors on September 15, 2011. On December 13, 2011, there will be another hearing with regard to a motion to reach an agreement on the appraised value of the property. Once the value is determined, the new monthly payment of principal and interest can be calculated. The investment general partner will continue to monitor the process. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Bear Creek of Naples. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Parvin's L.P. (Parvin's Branch Townhouses) is a 24-unit family property located in Vineland, New Jersey. In 2010, occupancy averaged 82%, and the property continued to operate below breakeven. Through the third quarter of 2011, occupancy increased to 84%, but the property continues to operate below breakeven. The property has experienced significant collection issues due to the current tenant profile and the nature of eviction laws in the State of New Jersey. According to management, evictions can take up to 6 months to fully process in the State of New Jersey. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits as needed. The first mortgage matured in July 2009. Mortgage payments were made during the negotiating period, to keep the loan current. The operating general partner renegotiated the original loan effective April 30, 2010. This loan modification resulted in decreased interest and reduced monthly payments. The loan was extended three years and matures on March 27, 2013. This new loan alleviated some of the property's deficit, as it nearly broke even in 2010. The real estate taxes and insurance payments are all current through September 2011. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Parvin's L.P. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
In August 2011, the operating general partner of Parvin's Limited Partnership approved an agreement to sell the property to a non-affiliated entity and the transaction is scheduled to close in December 2011. The sales price for the property is $900,000, which includes the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $302,715 and estimated cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $450,000. Of the estimated proceeds to be received by the investment partnership, $435,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the sale. Of the remaining proceeds, $5,000 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds from the sale of approximately $10,000 will be 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.
In March 2010, the operating general partner of Preston Wood Associates LP approved an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed on August 9, 2010. The sales price for the property was $992,000, which included the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $449,928 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $7,500. Of the total proceeds received, $7,500 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. No proceeds were returned to cash reserves held by Series 18. 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, no gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership was recorded as of September 30, 2010.
Humboldt I, LP (Briarwood Apartments) is a 20-unit property located in Humboldt, IA. Operations have struggled at the property for the past several years due to low occupancy and high maintenance expenses related to resident turnover. Lack of cash flow and withdrawals to finance capital expenditures have resulted in an underfunding of the replacement reserve escrow. Historical and ongoing challenges cited by management include problem tenants that require eviction, difficulty attracting quality tenants, and the poor state of the local economy. Management relies heavily on outside contacts and referrals from the local housing authority, but also runs advertisements on a weekly basis in a free weekly advertiser that is distributed throughout town. Advertising has been expanded into surrounding towns to increase interest in the property. The property is operating under a Servicing Workout Plan approved by Rural Development on September 28, 2009. The Plan aims to fully fund the replacement reserve escrow, pay down accounts payable, and increase occupancy. Average occupancy in 2010 was 82%, and the property operated at breakeven. Through the third quarter of 2011, average occupancy has improved to 94%. As of August 2011 the property was 90% occupied and is operating above breakeven. On December 31, 2010, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Humboldt I, LP. The mortgage, taxes, and insurance are current.
Marengo Park Apartments LP (West Pine Homes) is a 24-unit property located in Marengo Park, IA. Occupancy has historically been an issue at this property, mainly due to evictions for nonpayment of rent and residents vacating because of job losses. The property is operating under a Servicing Workout Plan approved by Rural Development on March 3, 2009, which aims to fund the replacement reserves, make payables current, and resolve capital improvement issues. In the summer of 2010 the operating general partner hired a new property manager and changed the name of the community to West Pine Homes with the hopes of improving the reputation of the property. Current marketing includes advertising on Rent.com, advertising in the Local Free Shopper (which covers three cities/towns), posting fliers in the local community and frequent contacts with local agencies, as well as 'for rent' signs located on the property. Occupancy averaged 76% in 2010 and the property operated slightly below breakeven. Through the third quarter of 2011, occupancy averaged 80%. The property was 79% occupied as of September 2011 and continues to operate slightly below breakeven. Accounts payable remain high in 2011, and have increased from 2010. Continued below breakeven operations have hindered the operating general partner's ability to pay down these expenses. The investment general partner will continue to work closely with the operating general partner until occupancy improves and operations stabilize. 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 May 2010, the investment general partner of Series 18 and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund IV LP - Series 20, respectively, transferred their interests in Evergreen Hills Associates, Limited Partnership to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $2,635,694 and cash proceeds to the investment partnerships of $29,680 and $12,720 in Series 18 and Series 20, respectively. Of the total proceeds received, $22,680 and $9,720, for Series 18 and Series 20, respectively, represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnerships and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $7,000 and $3,000, for Series 18 and Series 20, respectively, 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 20, respectively. 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, no gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership was recorded as of June 30, 2010.
Series 19
As of September 30, 2011 and 2010 the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 17 properties at September 30, 2011, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.
For the six month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Series 19 reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $(392,897) and $(219,003), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $451,829 and $646,193, respectively. This is an interim period estimate; it is not indicative of the final year end results.
Carrollton Villa, L.P. (Meadow Ridge Apartments), is a 35-unit family project located in Carrollton, Missouri. The property has historically operated below breakeven, due to insufficient rental rates and low occupancy, resulting from few job opportunities in the property's rural location. The property also suffers from high operating expenses, specifically utilities. Over the past six years the City of Carrollton has dramatically increased water and sewer rates to cover the repair of water lines. Water and sewer rates have increased over 300% from 2005 levels. In 2010, the average annual occupancy was 99%. Occupancy has remained consistently high through the third quarter of 2011, averaging 98%. Despite high occupancy, the property has continued to operate below breakeven. To alleviate the pressure on cash flow, the lender agreed to make the mortgage a cash flow only mortgage in 2004. This has allowed the property to reduce operating deficits. Also, the maturity dates for the first and second mortgages were extended from December 2008 and November 2008 to December 2013 and November 2013, respectively. The real estate taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current. Operating deficits continue to be funded through operating general partner contributions. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Carrollton Villas. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Forest Associates Limited (Sharon Apartments) is a 24-unit apartment complex for families located in Forest, OH. The operating general partner passed away in the second quarter of 2007 and his widow assumed the operating general partner responsibilities. During 2008, communication with the new operating general partner became extremely difficult. The operations declined and the property operated below breakeven for 2008 with occupancy ending at 63% for December 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the investment general partner learned that the current management company's contract had been terminated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, Rural Development accelerated the note and started foreclosure proceedings. Although the operating general partner appealed, the appeal was denied. The investment general partner learned of these developments from the real estate broker engaged by the operating general partner. The affiliated management company of a potential replacement operating general partner was placed on-site by Rural Development during May 2009. The potential operating general partner had been interested in acquiring the operating general partner and investment general partner interests, but attempts by the potential operating general partner to develop a workout plan failed and Rural Development is proceeding with the foreclosure. Rural Development is currently paying for the property's caretaking expenses. On December 31, 2010, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Forest Associates.
Jeremy Associates, LP (Coopers Crossing Apartments) is a 93-unit family development located in Las Colinas, Texas. Despite an average occupancy of 99% in 2010, the property continued to operate below breakeven due to high operating expenses. Rental revenues increased in 2010, which allowed for a decrease in the amount of cash flow loss from prior years. Occupancy continues to be strong and was 99% as of September 30, 2011. Operating expenses are high mainly due to high maintenance costs as a result of severe physical deficiencies in a number of buildings on site. Since construction, a number of the buildings have had differential settlement issues resulting in cracked floor slabs, cracked brick veneer, cracking windows and doors and sagging balconies. These concerns have been addressed on an ongoing basis via advances by the operating general partner. Cost control efforts include staffing reduction, reduced marketing and the shutting down of one boiler during warmer months. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits despite the expiration of the operating deficit guarantee. So far the operating general partner has advanced over $2,000,000 for repairs and operating deficits. The mortgage, trade payables, property taxes and insurance are current. The low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2010. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Sherwood Knoll L.P. (Sherwood Knoll Apartments) is a 24-unit project in Rainsville, Alabama. The property operated below breakeven in 2009 with an average occupancy of 89%. Occupancy improved in 2010, averaging 95% for the year, but the property still operated below breakeven. For the three quarters of 2011, operations improved to just above breakeven with average occupancy of 89%. In the third quarter of 2011, occupancy improved to an average of 96%, but the property operated below breakeven for the quarter. In order to improve occupancy and increase traffic at the property, management has been advertising in the local newspaper as well as posting fliers throughout the immediate area. These methods have helped improve occupancy at the property from an average of 89% in the second quarter of 2011 to an average of 96% in the third quarter. A new site manager was also hired in the second quarter of 2011, and regional management reports that she is doing a good job and is proving to be very effective at collecting current and delinquent rents. In addition to the improved occupancy, Rural Development approved a $10 rent increase effective January 1, 2011. This rent increase along with high occupancy should help to improve the property's operations. The investment general partner will continue to work with the operating general partner to maintain above breakeven operations in 2011. The operating deficit guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. 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 Sherwood Knoll, L.P. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Northpointe, L.P. (Northpointe Apartments) is a 158-unit family property located in Kansas City, MO. In 2009 and 2010, despite averaging 92% occupancy, the property operated below breakeven. Rents have been kept below the maximum allowable to remain competitive with two nearby tax credit properties developed within the past five years. Occupancy in 2011 is averaging 88%, with operations remaining below breakeven status. Move-outs continue due to the struggling local economy. The main reason for residents moving out is that they cannot afford to pay the rent or eviction for non-payment. Rental rates remain insufficient to cover expenses. The operating general partner along with management has increased the size of their advertisement in the For Rent Magazine, enhanced online advertising, and temporarily reduced rents and value priced selected one and two bedroom apartments in order to improve occupancy. The operating general partner and investment general partner have explored refinancing and disposition options, but the significant prepayment penalty of $770,000 associated with the debt has prevented a sale or refinance from being a feasible option. The operating general partner plans to continue funding the property to the best of his ability until the mortgage maturity date of August 2014. The property's 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 Northpointe, LP. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Meadows of Southgate L.D.H.A., Limited Partnership, is an 83-unit elderly property located in Southgate, Michigan. During the third quarter of 2011 the property continued to operate below breakeven largely due to an ongoing occupancy challenge and weak rental market. As of September 2011, the property was 54% occupied, with an annual average occupancy of 52%. The management agent, an affiliate of the operating general partner, remains focused on improving occupancy through an aggressive applicant outreach and marketing initiatives as well as expanded leasing office hours of operation. The investment general partner will continue to monitor occupancy and operations. All real estate tax, mortgage, and insurance payments are current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Meadows of Southgate. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
In February 2010, the investment general partner entered into an agreement to transfer its interest in Ankeny Housing Associates Two LP to a non-affiliated entity for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $2,566,333 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $1,544,780. The transaction closed as of April 2010. Of the total proceeds received, $10,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $20,400 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $1,514,380 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 19. 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 $1,514,380 as of June 30, 2010.
In October 2010, the operating general partner of Vistas Associates LP approved an agreement to sell the property to a non-affiliated entity and the transaction closed on January 31, 2011.

Of the proceeds received by the investment partnership, $25,000 represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnership and the balance represents proceeds from the sale. Of the remaining proceeds, $15,000 will be paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds from the sale of $2,710,000 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 19.

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. In March 2011, the investment partnership received additional proceeds for its share of the Operating Partnership's cash in the amount of $722,500 which was returned to the cash reserves held by Series 19. 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 $3,432,500 as of March 31, 2011. In August 2011, the investment partnership received its final cash distribution from the Operating Partnership's remaining cash totaling $99,450, which was returned to the cash reserves held by Series 19. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $99,450 as of September 30, 2011.
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 Changes
In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). The amended guidance modifies the consolidation model to one based on control and economics, and replaced quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that 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 amended guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE. Additionally, the amendment requires enhanced and expanded disclosures around VIEs. This amendment was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Fund's financial statements.

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. |
