On August 22, 1988, American Affordable Housing VI Limited Partnership changed its name to Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund Limited Partnership. Effective as of September 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 Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership. The general partner of the General Partner is BCA Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a Massa chusetts corporation and 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 certain officers and employees of Boston Capital Partners, Inc., and its affiliates.

Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Partnership filed a Form S-11 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective August 29, 1988, which covered the offering (the "Public Offering") of the Partnership's beneficial assignee certificates ("BACs") representing assignments of units of the beneficial interest of the limited partnership interest of the Assignor Limited Partner. The Partnership registered 10,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in six series. Offers and sales of BACs in Series 1 through Series 6 of the Partnership were completed and the last of the BACs in Series 6 were issued by the Partnership on September 29, 1989. The Partnership sold 1,299,900 of Series 1 BACs, 830,300 of Series 2 BACs, 2,882,200 of Series 3 BACs, 2,995,300 of Series 4 BACs, 489,900 of Series 5 BACs and 1,303,000 of Series 6 BACs.

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Partnership's taxable loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 are expected to differ from its loss for financial reporting purposes for the year ended March 31, 2004. This is primarily due to accounting differences in depreciation incurred by the Operating Partnerships and differences between the equity method of accounting and the IRS accounting methods. No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the partners and assignees individually.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity

The Partnership's primary source of funds was the proceeds of its Public Offering. Other sources of liquidity include (i) interest earned on working capital reserves, and (ii) cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. These sources of liquidity are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership.

The Partnership is currently accruing the annual partnership management fee. Partnership management fees accrued during the quarter ended December 31, 2003 were $213,293 and total partnership management fees accrued as of December 31, 2003 were $10,565,708. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such liabilities will be deferred until the Partnership receives sales or refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships, which will be used to satisfy such liabilities.

The Partnership has also recorded other payables to affiliates of $1,017,602. The amount consists of advances to pay certain third party operating expenses of the Partnership, advances and/or loans to Operating Partnerships, and accrued overhead allocations. The breakout between Series are: $121,003 in Series 1, $112,520 in Series 2, $333,791 in Series 3, $423,856 in Series 4, none in Series 5, and $26,432 in Series 6. These and any future advances or accruals will be paid, without interest, from available cash flow, reporting fees, or proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership's interest in Operating Partnerships.

Capital Resources

The Partnership offered BACs in a Public Offering declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 1988. The Partnership received and accepted subscriptions for $97,746,940 representing 9,800,600 BACs from investors admitted as BAC Holders in Series 1 through Series 6 of the Partnership. Offers and sales of BACs in Series 1 through Series 6 of the Partnership were completed and the last of the BACs in Series 6 were issued by the Partnership on September 29, 1989. At December 31, 2003 and 2002 the Partnership had limited partnership equity interests in 100 and 103 Operating Partnerships, respectively.

As of December 31, 2003 the Partnership held $2,108,539 in cash and cash equivalents. Below is a table, which provides, by series, the equity raised, number of BACs sold, final date BACs were offered, number of properties currently held, and cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2003. $1,656,029 of Series 3 and $212,000 of Series 4 cash and cash equivalents represent proceeds being held from the sale of three Operating Partnerships as of December 31, 2003.

Initial occupancy of a unit in each Apartment Complex which initially 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 hereinafter 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 believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

The Partnership incurs an annual partnership management fee to the General Partner and/or its affiliates in an amount equal to 0.375% of the aggregate cost of the Apartment Complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of certain partnership management and reporting fees paid by the Operating Partnerships. The annual partnership management fee is currently being accrued. It is anticipated that outstanding fees will be repaid from sale or refinancing proceeds. The annual partnership management fee charged to operations for the quarters ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, net of reporting fees received were $203,928 and $201,459, respectively.

The Partnership's investment objectives do not include receipt of significant cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested. The Partnership'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. The Results of Operations reported herein are interim period estimates that may not necessarily be indicative of final year end results.

Series 1

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 18 properties at December 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the nine months being reported, the series reflects a net loss from Operating Partnerships of $1,184,471. When adjusted for depreciation, which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect positive operations of $22,346.

Genesee Commons Associates (River Park Commons) has not made the minimum debt service payments outlined in the forbearance agreement since 1997. At this time the mortgage holder has not taken adverse action. The State of New York filed 8823's the last year of compliance resulting in a total recapture of $4,871. Due to the project completing the compliance period, this will be the final amount of recapture for the Operating Partnership. The operations at Genesee Commons Associates remain weak with an occupancy level consistent with prior years. The first, second, and third quarter 2003 average occupancy levels were 78%, 74%, and 75%, respectively, fourth quarter numbers have been requested. The management company continues to work with local and state agencies to locate qualified residents. Also, the management company has developed a referral system with local non-profit agencies and churches.

Effective July 2003, the Operating General Partner interest for Kingston Property Associates Limited Partnership (Broadway East Townhouses) sold from TFG/New York Properties, Inc. to Kingston Winn Limited Partnership. Also, the management company changed from The Finch Group to an affiliate of the new Operating General Partner, Winn Residential. The Lender and the Operating General Partner have entered into a Forbearance Agreement, dated July 16, 2003, which prevents the Lender from filing foreclosure action or accelerating the indebtedness providing they follow the terms outlined. The new Operating General Partner, is trying to re-syndicate the property. The 15 year compliance period for Kingston Property Associates ended December 31, 2002. Kingston Property Associates has incurred operating deficits as a result of weak occupancy. Historically, Kingston Property Associates has operated with an occupancy level below 80%. However, operations at this property have improved with a 2002 average occupan cy level of 91%, and the first and second quarter of 2003 average occupancy was 93% and 91%, respectively. A request has been made for the third and fourth quarter numbers, but not received to date.

Series 2

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of eight properties at December 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the nine months being reported the series reflects a net loss from the Operating Partnerships of $69,674. When adjusted for depreciation, which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect positive operations of $234,605.

Annadale Housing Partners (Annadale Apartments) has historically reported net losses due to operational issues associated with the property. As a result of efforts by the Operating General Partner and the management company, operations have demonstrated improvements. In 2002 rental increases combined with improved rental collections resulted in a 9.8% increase in rental revenues. Expenses, particularly maintenance costs, continue to be high due to the provisions of the loan agreements which stipulate that the Operating Partnership must spend a minimum of $55,000 per year on capital improvements, with the funding coming from operations. As a result of the increased rental revenues, the property operated at breakeven despite the high level of expense. In 2003, occupancy has slipped from the previous year's level, averaging 81.92% through December. The majority of the vacancies are in the elderly designated units where the occupancy rate is 76%. This has historically been the case as the senior popula tion does not find the location a desirable one. There are no amenities in the area, and no transportation. Management has tried a variety of marketing approaches and has recently replaced the site staff in an effort to bring up occupancy. The new staff that has been in place for six months has just started to see improvements. Occupancy increased to 85% in December 2003 and will break 90% in January 2004. The staff has promoted events such as a food drive to bring the community together. A new advertisement has been running in the local paper offering the first months rent free at the Senior property. Managements goal is to reach occupancy of 95% by February 2004. As a result of the vacancies, revenues are slightly below 2002 levels. Operating expenses are at increased levels in 2003. Air conditioning expenses increased utility costs as late summer saw several days of triple digit heat. Maintenance expenses increased as management focused on completing some required capital improvements. Exterio r painting of the buildings, sprinkler installation and repairs were completed, and carpet replacement were some of the higher expenses noted. Management anticipates that they will increase the occupancy levels, and the property will be able to breakeven going into the first quarter of 2004. The Investment General Partner will continue to monitor this Operating Partnership until occupancy increases and property operations stabilize.

 

 

Series 3.

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100% and 99.9%, respectively. The series had a total of 31 properties at December 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the nine months being reported the series reflects a net loss from the Operating Partnerships of $1,245,616. When adjusted for depreciation, which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect positive operations of $286,009. The increase in net loss per BAC reported in the current quarter is primarily the result of the recording of the Sales and Prep Fees from the sale of two Operating Partnerships in the first quarter. The increase in net income per BAC reported in the current year is primarily the result of income reported from the sale of two Operating Partnerships in the first quarter. Additional information on the sale of the partnerships is provided below.

The Investment General Partner continues to monitor the operations of Lincoln Hotel Associates (Lincoln Apartments) in an effort to improve the overall operations of the Operating Partnership. Physical occupancy through the fourth quarter of 2003 averaged 93%. The stable occupancy, along with expense reductions, has resulted in improved operations. The mortgage is current under the terms of a forbearance agreement. The taxes, insurance and payables are also current. The Operating General Partner recently completed negotiations to replace management with a not-for-profit entity who is interested in assuming the ownership of the Operating Partnership once the tax credit compliance period has expired. A purchase option has been executed and recorded. The transfer of ownership is anticipated to occur during the first quarter of 2004.

In an attempt to capitalize on the strong California real estate market the Operating General Partner of California Investors VI (Orchard Park) entered into an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed in June 2003. As part of the purchase agreement, the buyer is required to maintain the property as affordable housing through the end of the tax credit compliance period, and to provide a recapture bond to avoid the recapture of the tax credits that have been taken. Sale proceeds due to Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund I-Series 3 (BCTC I) and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III-Series 17 (BCTC III) after repayment of advances made to the Operating Partnership are $453,144 and $31,790, respectively. Of the proceeds received it is estimated that approximately $397,078 and $27,857, respectively will be distributed to the investors. Provided that these are the actual amounts distributed, the per BAC distribution amounts will be .138 and .007 for Series 3 and 17, respectively. The total returned to the investors will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of the sale. The investor distributions will be made once the 2003 tax return for the Operating Partnership has been received and the appropriate non-resident withholding calculations are completed. The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership. The remaining proceeds total of $60,000 is anticipated to be paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale. The breakdown of the amount to be paid to BCAMLP is as follows: $10,000 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes but is not limited to due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $50,000 represents a fee for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property. Since the Investment in Operating Partnership balance of California Investors VI for Series 3 was not equal to the sale proceeds received by the series, Series 3 record ed a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership of $453,144

In an attempt to capitalize on the strong California real estate market the Operating General Partner of Hidden Cove Apartments (Hidden Cove) entered into an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed in May 2003. As part of the purchase agreement, the buyer is required to maintain the property as affordable housing through the end of the tax credit compliance period and, to provide a recapture bond to avoid the recapture of the tax credits that have been taken. Sale proceeds due to Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund I-Series 3 (BCTC I) and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III-Series 15 (BCTC III) are $1,572,368 and $136,352, respectively. The majority of the sale proceeds were received by the Investment Partnerships in May 2003, and the balance was received in September 2003. Of the proceeds received, it is estimated that approximately $1,240,404 and $107,565, for Series 3 and Series 15, respectively will be distributed to the investors. Provided that these are the actual amounts distributed, the per BAC distributions will be .430 and .028 for Series 3 and 15, respectively. The total returned to the investors will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor. The investor distributions will be made once the 2003 tax return for the Operating Partnership has been received and the appropriate non-resident withholding calculations are completed. The amounts for each series, while different in actual dollars, represent the same percentage of return to each Investment Partnership. The remaining proceeds total of $360,750 is anticipated to be paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial reimbursement of amounts payable to affiliates. The breakdown of the amount to be paid to BCAMLP is as follows: $10,000 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes but is not limited to due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $50,000 represents a fee for overseeing and managing the disposition of th e property; and $300,750 represents a partial payment of outstanding Asset Management Fees due to BCAMLP. Since the Investment in Operating Partnerships balances of Hidden Cove for Series 3 and Series 15 were not equal to the sale proceeds received by each series, Series 3 and Series 15 recorded gains on the sale of the Operating Partnership of $1,572,368 and $70,176, respectively.

Central Parkway Towers' (Central Parkway Towers) average occupancy decreased to 50% through December 2003 compared to 2002's average occupancy of 75%. The Management Company continues to work with the City of Cincinnati, the State of Ohio, as well as local non-profit agencies to expand tenant referrals and housing contracts. However, the City of Cincinnati has canceled support programs previously utilized by the property and the overall financial position has deteriorated significantly as a result of the decrease in occupancy. The Operating General Partner formally requested a release from his obligations as the Operating General Partner and property manager. Several alternative management companies were interviewed but none have expressed interest in assuming this responsibility. The Operating General Partner and the Investment Limited Partner have now agreed to stabilize the property to the best of their abilities in an attempt to reach the end of the complian ce period on December 31, 2004. Funding will be minimized, and will include $5,000 per month for lease payments, up to $26,000 for insurance which expires in July and other necessary payments to keep the project operational through the end of 2004.

Series 4

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 24 properties at December 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the nine months being reported the series reflects a net loss from the Operating Partnerships of $1,322,033. When adjusted for depreciation, which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect positive operations of $140,113. The decrease in net loss per BAC reported in the current quarter and year is primarily the result of income reported from the sale of one Operating Partnerships.

Central Parkway Towers' (Central Parkway Towers) average occupancy decreased to 50% through December 2003 compared to 2002's average occupancy of 75%. The Management Company continues to work with the City of Cincinnati, the State of Ohio, as well as local non-profit agencies to expand tenant referrals and housing contracts. However, the City of Cincinnati has canceled support programs previously utilized by the property and the overall financial position has deteriorated significantly as a result of the decrease in occupancy. The Operating General Partner formally requested a release from his obligations as the Operating General Partner and property manager.

Funding will be minimized, and will include $5,000 per month for lease payments, up to $26,000 for insurance which expires in July and other necessary payments to keep the project operational through the end of 2004.

Operations at Van Dyck Estates XVI-A, A California L.P. (Van Dyck Estates XVI-A) have struggled to improve despite maintaining high occupancy levels. Occupancy averaged 96.88% through the fourth quarter of 2003. Operating expenses, particularly maintenance, have continued to increase in 2003 and as a result the property is operating slightly below breakeven. Maintenance costs incurred in 2003 have included replacing and repairing fences, and scraping and repainting the eaves on the roof, both repairs were required by Section 8 inspectors. These are expected to be one time costs. Turnover costs have also been running over budget this year. Several units have needed carpet and tile replacement on turnover. The Investment General Partner has negotiated a sale of its interest to the Operating General Partner of the Van Dyck Estates Partnership. The sales proceeds to the Investment Partnership would be the equivalent amount if the individual homes were sold separately to third party purchasers . The Investment General Partner anticipates the sale to close late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2004.

Auburn Trace Limited (Auburn Trace) is a 256 unit property located in Delray Beach, Florida that operated below breakeven in 2002 and 2003. The primary cause of the negative cash flow is due to high operating expenses. The Operating General Partner is attempting to reduce operating expenses primarily in the areas of administration and maintenance. Maintenance costs have increased in 2002 and 2003 due to the replacement of air conditioner and water heater units and the addition of a security system at the property. Many units also had to be painted, carpeted and have cupboards replaced after tenant evictions. As these maintenance projects are completed, maintenance expense should decrease significantly. Physical occupancy has been consistently strong at this property, and is currently at 98% as of December 31, 2003. The Investment General Partner will work with the Operating General Partner to develop a plan to further reduce operating expenses and stabilize the property. The mortgage and property taxes, property insurance are current. The Operating General Partner continues to fund operating deficits.

During the quarter, Series 4 sold its Investment Partnership interest in Sunneyview II (Stoneridge Hill II) for total proceeds to the Investment Partnership or $212,000. Of the sale proceeds $175,000 was collected in August 2003 and the balance was collected in October 2003. Of the proceeds received it is anticipated $120,000 will be distributed to the investors. Provided that this is the actual amounts to be distributed, the per BAC distribution amounts will be $.04. The investor distributions will be made once the 2003 tax return for the Operating Partnership has been received and the appropriate non-resident withholding calculations are completed.

The remaining total of $92,000, is anticipated to be paid to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership (BCAMLP) for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial repayment of accrued asset management fees. The total returned to the investors will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of the sale. The breakdown of the amount to be paid to BCAMLP is as follows: $10,000 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes but is not limited to due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $20,000 represents a fee for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property; and $62,000 will be used to paydown outstanding accrued asset management fees. Since the Investment in Operating Partnership balance of Sunneyview II was not equal to the sale proceeds received by the series, Series 4 has recorded a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership.

Series 5

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of five properties at December 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the nine months being reported the series reflects a net loss from the Operating Partnerships of $87,133. When adjusted for depreciation, which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect positive operations of $81,507.

The Investment General Partner will continue to monitor this Operating Partnership until occupancy increases and property operations stabilize.

TKO Investment Properties V (Heather Ridge Apartments) is a 56-unit family property located in Redding, CA. Despite an average occupancy of 99% for 2003 the property is operating below breakeven. The operating deficit is due to high maintenance expenses associated with the age of this property. The property was originally rehabilitated in 1988. To improve the property's ability to generate cash, management has forfeited its management fee and implemented two rent increases; one in December of 2002 and the other during 2003. Management expects occupancy to remain strong; however, maintenance expenses are expected to be high for 2004. The Investment General Partner will closely monitor this property until it generates cash flow.

Series 6

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 15 properties at December 31, 2003, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.

For the nine months being reported the series reflects a net loss from the Operating Partnerships of $211,185. When adjusted for depreciation, which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect positive operations of $730,278. The increase in net income per BAC for the current quarter and year is primarily the result in an increase in Operating Partnership losses suspended due to the equity method of accounting.

Socorro Properties, Limited Partnership, (Los Pueblos Apartments) located in Socorro, New Mexico, operated below breakeven throughout 2003. The primary reason for its negative cash flow is low occupancy, which averaged 78.39% for 2003, although occupancy increased by the end of the year and averaged 86.46% for the fourth quarter 2003. Occupancy reached 91% by December 2003. Earlier in 2003, the property was without a maintenance technician and the property suffered from some deferred maintenance. The Operating General Partner sent a maintenance coordinator and another maintenance technician who cured most of the deferred maintenance in mid-2003. The property has a lot of traffic, but the turnover is very high. The property brought on a new maintenance technician at the beginning of the third quarter of 2003.

The Operating General Partner of the Partnership Sherburne Housing Redevelopment Company has negotiated a sale of its Operating General Partner interest. This transaction was completed in August 2003. In addition to the transfer of Operating General Partner interest, an exit strategy has been put in place that will allow for the sale of the Investment Limited Partner interest to the new Operating General Partner at the end of the 15-year tax credit compliance period in December 2004.

Auburn Trace Limited (Auburn Trace) is a 256 unit property located in Delray Beach, Florida that operated below breakeven in 2002 and 2003. The primary cause of the negative cash flow is due to high operating expenses. The Operating General Partner is attempting to reduce operating expenses primarily in the areas of administration and maintenance. Maintenance costs have increased in 2002 and 2003 due to the replacement of air conditioner and water heater units and the addition of a security system at the property.

Physical occupancy has been consistently strong at this property, and is currently at 98% as of December 31, 2003. The Investment General Partner will work with the Operating General Partner to develop a plan to further reduce operating expenses and stabilize the property. The mortgage and property taxes, property insurance are current. The Operating General Partner continues to fund operating deficits.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the Partnership to make certain estimates and assumptions. A summary of significant accounting policies is provided in Note A to the financial statements. The following section is a summary of certain aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of Partnership's financial condition and results of operations. The Partnership 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 Partnership accounts for its investment in local partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Partnership does not control the operations of an Operating Partnership.

If the book value of Partnership's investment in an Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, the Partnership reduces its investment in any such Operating Partnership and includes such reduction in equity in loss of investment in operating partnerships.
