PART I


Item 1. Business

Gateway Tax Credit Fund III Ltd. ("Gateway") is a Florida
Limited Partnership. The general partners are Raymond James
Tax Credit Funds, Inc., the Managing General Partner, and
Raymond James Partners, Inc., both sponsors of Gateway Tax
Credit Fund III Ltd. and wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond
James Financial, Inc. Gateway was formed October 17, 1991 and
commenced operations July 16, 1992 with the first admission of
Limited Partners.

Gateway is engaged in only one industry segment, to acquire
limited partnership interests in unaffiliated limited
partnerships ("Project Partnerships"), each of which owns and
operates one or more apartment complexes eligible for Low-
Income Housing Tax Credits under Section 42 of the Internal
Revenue Code ("Tax Credits"), received over a ten year period.
Subject to certain limitations, Tax Credits may be used by
Gateway's investors to reduce their income tax liability
generated from other income sources. Gateway will terminate
on December 31, 2040, or sooner, in accordance with the terms
of its Limited Partnership Agreement. As of March 31, 1997,
Gateway received capital contributions of $1,000 from the
General Partners and from the Limited Partners, $10,395,000 in
Series 7, $9,980,000 from Series 8, $6,254,000 from Series 9,
$5,043,000 from Series 10 and $5,127,000 from Series 11.

Gateway offered Limited Partnership units in series. Each
series is treated as though it were a separate partnership,
investing in a separate and distinct pool of Project
Partnerships. Net proceeds from each series are used to
acquire Project Partnerships which are specifically allocated
to such series. Income or loss and all tax items from the
Project Partnerships acquired by each series are specifically
allocated among the limited partners of such series.

Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from
operations and Tax Credits are allocated 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partners. Profit or loss and
cash distributions from sales of property will be allocated as
described in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

As of March 31, 1997, Gateway had invested in 39 Project
Partnerships for Series 7, 43 Project Partnerships for Series
8, 24 Project Partnerships for Series 9, 15 Project
Partnerships for Series 10 and 12 Project Partnerships for
Series 11. Gateway acquired its interests in these properties
by becoming a limited partner in the Project Partnerships that
own the properties. The primary source of funds for each
series is the capital contributions from Limited Partner
investors.

All but eight of the properties are financed with mortgage
loans from the Farmers Home Administration (now called Rural
Economic and Community Development) ("RECD") under Section 515
of the Housing Act of 1949. These mortgage loans are made at
low interest rates for multi-family housing in rural and
suburban areas, with the requirement that the interest savings
be passed on to low income tenants in the form of lower rents.
A significant portion of the project partnerships also receive
rental assistance from RECD to subsidize certain qualifying
tenants. One recently acquired property in Series 7 received
conventional financing. One property in Series 9, two
properties in Series 10 and one property in Series 11 are
fully financed through the HOME Investment Partnerships
Program. These HOME Program loans provide financing at rates
of 0 % to 0.5% for a period of 15 to 42 years. One property
in Series 11 is partially financed by HOME. Two properties in
Series 11 received conventional financing.

Risks related to the operations of Gateway are described in
detail on pages 29 through 38 of the Prospectus, as
supplemented, under the Caption "Risk Factors" which is
incorporated herein by reference. The investment objectives
of Gateway are to:

1) Provide tax benefits to Limited Partners in the form
of Tax Credits during the period in which each Project
is eligible to claim tax credits;

2) Preserve and protect the capital contribution of
Investors;

3) Participate in any capital appreciation in the value
of the Projects; and

4) Provide passive losses to i) individual investors to
offset passive income from other passive activities,
and ii) corporate investors to offset business income.

The investment objectives and policies of Gateway are
described in detail on pages 39 through 47 of the Prospectus,
as supplemented, under the caption "Investment Objectives and
Policies" which is incorporated herein by reference.

Gateway's goal is to invest in a diversified portfolio of
Project Partnerships located in rural and suburban locations
with a high demand for low income housing. As of March 31,
1997 the Series' investor capital contributions were
successfully invested in Project Partnerships which met the
investment criteria. Management anticipates that competition
for tenants will only be with other low income housing
projects and not with conventionally financed housing. With
a significant number of rural American households living below
the poverty level in substandard housing, management believes
there will be a continuing demand for affordable low income
housing for the foreseeable future.

Gateway has no direct employees. Services are performed by
the Managing General Partner and its affiliates and by agents
retained by it. The Managing General Partner has full and
exclusive discretion in management and control of Gateway.

Item 2. Properties

Gateway owns a majority interest in properties through its
limited partnership investments in Project Partnerships. The
largest single net investment in a Project Partnership in
Series 7 is 8.7% of the Series' total balance sheet assets,
Series 8 is 4.2%, Series 9 is 11.4%, Series 10 is 18.3% and
Series 11 is 19.9%. The following table provides certain
summary information regarding the Project Partnerships in
which Gateway had an interest as of December 31, 1996:

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operations commenced on July 16, 1992 with the first
admission of Limited Partners in Series 7. The proceeds from
Limited Partner investors' capital contributions available for
investment are used to acquire interests in Project
Partnerships. Project Partnership acquisitions and the status
of project operations are shown on the following table:

Series 10 - - 15 15
Series 11 - - 12 12

As disclosed on the statement of operations for each
Series, except as described below, interest income is
comparable for the years ended March 31, 1997, March 31, 1996
and March 31, 1995. General and Administrative expenses -
General Partner and General and Administrative expenses -
Other for the year ended March 31, 1997 are comparable to
March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995.

The capital resources of each Series are used to pay
General and Administrative operating costs including
personnel, supplies, data processing, travel and legal and
accounting associated with the administration and monitoring
of Gateway and the Project Partnerships. The capital
resources are also used to pay the Asset Management Fee due
the Managing General Partner, but only to the extent that
Gateway's remaining resources are sufficient to fund Gateway's
ongoing needs. (Payment of any Asset Management Fee unpaid at
the time Gateway sells its interests in the Project
Partnerships is subordinated to the investors' return of their
original capital contribution.)

The sources of funds to pay the operating costs of each
Series are short-term investments and interest earned thereon,
the maturity of U.S. Treasury Security Strips ("Zero Coupon
Treasuries") which were purchased with funds set aside for
this purpose, and cash distributed to the Series from the
operations of the Project Partnerships.

Series 7 - Gateway closed this series on October 16, 1992
after receiving $10,395,000 from 635 Limited Partner
investors. As of March 31, 1997, the series had invested
$7,732,089 in 39 Project Partnerships located in 14 states
containing 1,195 apartment units. Average occupancy of the
Project Partnerships was 97% at December 31, 1996.

Equity in losses of Project Partnerships decreased from
$1,118,343 for the year ended March 31, 1995 to $936,257 for
the year ended March 31, 1996 partially due to a reduction in
depreciation expense for three Project Partnerships' because
of an adjustment in the calculation method. Equity in losses
of Project Partnerships for the year ended March 31, 1997 of
$936,184 was comparable to the year ended March 31, 1996. In
general, it is common in the real estate industry to
experience losses for financial and tax reporting purposes
because of the non-cash expenses of depreciation and
amortization. (These Project Partnerships reported
depreciation and amortization of $1,625,748, $1,553,899 and
$1,647,762 for the periods ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.) As a result, management expects that
this Series, as well as the Series described below, will
report its equity in Project Partnerships as a loss for tax
and financial reporting purposes. Overall management believes
the Project Partnerships are operating as expected and are
generating tax credits which meet projections. However, one
Project Partnership experienced significant operating problems
worth noting.

A Project Partnership located in Bloomfifeld, Nebraska
experienced significant cash shortages from operations for the
years ending December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1996. In 1995
the average occupancy rate was 62% and in 1996 the average
occupancy rate was 76%. An occupancy rate of 90% is required
to breakeven. This occupancy problem was principally due to
a wage increase at a large local employer which pushed
potential tenant incomes above the compliance levels
established for tax credits. The management company continues
to make a significant effort to improve occupancy and the
local general partners loaned $60,000 to the Project
Partnership to cover the shortages, in accordance with their
guarantees. Management does not expect any material adverse
effect to Gateway from this Project Partnership.

At March 31, 1997, the Series had $267,980 of short-term
investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $466,776
in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing
$47,000 in fiscal year 1998 increasing to $86,000 in fiscal
year 2008. Management believes the sources of funds are
sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the
foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management
Fee.
As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had
a net loss of $1,026,918 for the year ending March 31, 1997.
However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project
Partnerships of $936,184 and the changes in operating assets
and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was
$50,721 of which $40,146 was the Asset Management Fee actually
paid. Cash provided by investing activities totaled $58,919
consisting of $27,181 in cash distributions from the Project
Partnerships and $35,342 from matured Zero Coupon Treasuries.
There were no unusual events or trends to describe.

Series 8 - Gateway closed this Series on June 28, 1993
after receiving $9,980,000 from 664 Limited Partner investors.
As of March 31, 1997, the series had invested $7,586,105 in 43
Project Partnerships located in 18 states containing 1,207
apartment units. Average occupancy of the Project
Partnerships was 95% at December 31, 1996.

Equity in losses of Project Partnerships increased from
$996,606 for the year ended March 31, 1995 to $1,110,855 for
the year ended March 31, 1996. This increase was due to
properties moving from the construction and rent-up phases to
becoming fully operational (7 from 1995 to 1996). Equity in
losses of Project Partnerships for the year ended March 31,
1997 of $999,833 was comparable to the year ended march 31,
1996. (These Project Partnerships reported depreciation and
amortization of $1,652,936, $1,521,763 and $1,269,512 for the
periods ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.)
Overall management believes the Project Partnerships are
operating as expected and are generating tax credits which
meet projections.

At March 31, 1997, the Series had $396,038 of short-term
investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $441,012
in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing
$42,000 in fiscal year 1998 increasing to $82,000 in fiscal
year 2008. Management believes the sources of funds are
sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the
foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management
Fee.

As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had
a net loss of $1,089,189 for the year ending March 31, 1997.
However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project
Partnerships of $999,833 and the changes in operating assets
and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was
$36,238 of which $26,810 was the Asset Management Fee actually
paid. Cash provided by investing activities totaled $137,255
consisting of $29,050 received in cash distributions from the
Project Partnerships, $32,178 from matured Zero Coupon
Treasuries and a collection of the receivable from Project
Partnerships of $75,574. Management believes the sources of
funds are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating
costs for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset
Management Fee. There were no unusual events or trends to
describe.

Series 9 - Gateway closed this Series on September 30, 1993
after receiving $6,254,000 from 406 Limited Partner investors.
As of March 31, 1997, the series had invested $4,914,116 in 24
Project Partnerships located in 11 states containing 624
apartment units. Average occupancy of the Project
Partnerships was 96% at December 31, 1996.

Equity in losses of Project Partnerships increased from
$271,414 for the year ended March 31, 1995 to $458,221 for the
year ended March 31, 1996 to $506,807 for the year ended March
31, 1997. These increases were due to properties moving from
the construction phase and rent-up phases to fully operating
phases. (These Project Partnerships reported depreciation and
amortization of $913,666, $863,953, and $418,865 for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.)

foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management
Fee.

As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had
net loss of $557,202 for the period ending March 31, 1997.

consisting of $16,934 received in cash distributions from the
Project Partnerships and $23,331 from matured Zero Coupon
Treasuries, collection of $8,545 receivables from Project
Partnerships and $18,076 from the reductions in amounts
invested in two Project Partnerships. Management believes the
sources of funds are sufficient to meet current and ongoing
operating costs for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of
the Asset Management Fee. There were no unusual events or
trends to describe.

Series 10 - Gateway closed this Series on January 21, 1994
after receiving $5,043,000 from 325 Limited Partner investors.
As of March 31, 1997, the series had invested $3,914,672 in 15

construction and rent-up phases to fully operational. (These
Project Partnerships reported depreciation and amortization of
$537,223, $198,591 and $5,747 for the periods ended December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.) Overall management believes the
Project Partnerships are operating as expected and are
generating tax credits which meet projections.

At March 31, 1997, the Series had $169,385 of short-term
investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $247,353
in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing
$21,000 in fiscal year 1998 increasing to $44,000 in fiscal
year 2010. Management believes the sources of funds are
sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the
foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management
Fee.

As disclosed on the statement of operations interest income
decreased from $158,326 for the eleven months ended March 31,
1995 to $69,130 for the year ended March 31, 1996 to $30,465
for the year ended March 31, 1997 due to the lowering of the
average cash balance available for investment. General and
Administrative expenses - General Partner and General and
Administrative - Other were comparable for the years ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, however these expenses increased from
the period ended March 31, 1995 as that period consisted of
only eleven months and only two Project Partnerships were
fully operating.

As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had
net loss of $196,029 for the year ending March 31, 1997.
After adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships
of $182,485 and the changes in operating assets and
liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $21,298
of which $20,342 was the Asset Management Fee actually paid.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $174,344 and was
primarily used for the purchase of Investments in Project
Partnerships while $16,951 was received from matured Zero
Coupon Treasures and $5,095 received in cash distributions
from Project Partnerships. Management believes the sources of
funds are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating
costs for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset
Management Fee. There were no unusual events or trends to
describe.


Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data






INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT





To the Partners of Gateway Tax Credit Fund III Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of each of
the five Series (Series 7 through 11) constituting Gateway Tax
Credit Fund III Ltd. (a Florida Limited Partnership) as of
March 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of
operations, partners' equity, and cash flows of each of the
five Series for each of the periods presented. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
did not audit the financial statements of certain underlying
Project Partnerships owned by Gateway Tax Credit Fund III Ltd.
for each of the periods presented, the investments in which
are recorded using the equity method of accounting. The
investments in these partnerships represent the following
percentages of the Partnership's assets and the total
investment in Project Partnerships as of March 31, 1997 and
1996 and the equity in their losses for each of the periods
indicated:

Series 8 60% 59% 51% 52%
Series 9 47% 45% 42% 41%
Series 10 61% 59% 54% 53%

Series 8 53% 59% 51%
Series 9 24% 20% 10%
Series 10 20% 28% 15%
Series 11 93% 70% 0%



Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports
have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for such underlying
partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other
auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the
reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.


In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other
auditors, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the five Series (Series 7 through 11) constituting
Gateway Tax Credit Fund III Ltd. as of March 31, 1997 and
1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The
schedules listed under Item 14(a)(2) in the index are
presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic
financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, based on our audits
and the reports of other auditors, fairly state in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth
therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

GATEWAY TAX CREDIT FUND III LTD.
(A Florida Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Gateway Tax Credit Fund III Ltd. ("Gateway"), a Florida
Limited Partnership, was formed October 17, 1991 under the
laws of Florida. Gateway offered its limited partnership
interests in Series. The first Series for Gateway is Series
7. Operations commenced on July 16, 1992 for Series 7,
January 4, 1993 for Series 8, September 30, 1993 for Series 9,
January 21, 1994 for Series 10 and April 29, 1994 for Series
11. Each Series invests, as a limited partner, in other
limited partnerships ("Project Partnerships"), each of which
owns and operates apartment complexes eligible for Low-Income
Housing Tax Credits ("Tax Credits"), provided for in Section
42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Gateway will
terminate on December 31, 2040 or sooner, in accordance with
the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement. As of March
31, 1997, Gateway had received capital contributions of $1,000
from the General Partners and $36,799,000 from the investor
Limited Partners.

Raymond James Partners, Inc. and Raymond James Tax Credit
Funds, Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James
Financial, Inc., are the General Partner and Managing General
Partner, respectively. The Managing General Partner manages
and controls the business of Gateway.

Gateway received capital contributions of $10,395,000,
$9,980,000, $6,254,000, $5,043,000 and $5,127,000 from the
investor Limited Partners in Series 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11,
respectively. Each Series will be treated as though it were
a separate partnership, investing in a separate and distinct
pool of Project Partnerships. Income or loss and all tax
items from the Project Partnerships acquired by each Series
will be specifically allocated among the limited partners of
such Series.

Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from
operations and Tax Credits from each Series are generally
allocated 99% to the Limited Partners in that Series and 1% to
the General Partners. Profit or loss and cash distributions
from sales of property by each Series are allocated as
formulated in the Limited Partnership Agreement.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

Gateway utilizes an accrual basis of accounting whereby
revenues are recognized as earned and expenses are recognized
as obligations are incurred.

Gateway accounts for its investments as the limited partner
in Project Partnerships ("Investments in Project
Partnerships") using the equity method of accounting and
reports the equity in losses of the Project Partnerships on a
3-month lag in the Statement of Operations. Under the equity
method, the Investments in Project Partnerships initially
include:

1) Gateway's capital contribution,
2) Acquisition fees paid to the General Partner for
services rendered in selecting properties for acquisition, and
3) Acquisition expenses including legal fees, travel and
other miscellaneous costs relating to acquiring properties.

Quarterly the Investments in Project Partnerships are
increased or decreased as follows:

1) Increased for equity in income or decreased for equity
in losses of the Project Partnerships,
2) Decreased for cash distributions received from the
Project Partnerships,
3) Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees
and expenses,
4) In certain Project Partnerships, where Gateway's
investment was greater than Gateway's pro-rata share of the
book value of the underlying assets, decreased for the
amortization of the difference; and
5) In certain Project Partnerships, where Gateway's
investment was less than Gateway's pro-rata share of the
book value of the underlying assets, increased for the
accretion of the difference.

Amortization and accretion is calculated on a straight line
basis over 35 years, as this is the average estimated useful
life of the underlying assets. The net amortization and
accretion is shown as amortization expense on the Statements
of Operations.

Pursuant to the limited partnership agreements for the
Project Partnerships, cash losses generated by the Project
Partnerships are allocated to the general partners of those
partnerships. In subsequent years, cash profits, if any, are
first allocated to the general partners to the extent of the
allocation of prior years' cash losses.

Since Gateway invests as a limited partner, and therefore
is not obligated to fund losses or make additional capital
contributions, it does not recognize losses from individual
Project Partnerships to the extent that these losses would
reduce the investment in those Project Partnerships below
zero. The suspended losses will be used to offset future
income from the individual Project Partnerships.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

It is Gateway's policy to include short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less in Cash and
Cash Equivalents. Short-term investments are comprised of
money market mutual funds.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject Gateway to
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash investments in
a money market mutual fund that is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Raymond James Financial, Inc.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
estimates that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. These estimates are based on management's
knowledge and experience. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from these estimates.

Investment in Securities

Effective April 1, 1994, Gateway adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("FAS 115"). Under
FAS 115, Gateway is required to categorize its debt securities
as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading securities,
dependent upon Gateway's intent in holding the securities.
Gateway's intent is to hold all of its debt securities (U. S.
Treasury Security Strips) until maturity and to use these
reserves to fund Gateway's ongoing operations. Interest
income is recognized ratably on the U.S. Treasury Strips using
the effective yield to maturity.

Receivable from Project Partnerships

Receivable from Project Partnerships represents amounts due
from the Project Partnerships due to a change in the amount
Gateway agreed to pay the Project Partnerships and is secured
with cash in restricted escrow accounts.

Offering and Commission Costs

Offering and commission costs are charged against Limited
Partners' Equity upon admission of Limited Partners.

Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been made in these
financial statements, as income taxes are a liability of the
partners rather than of Gateway.


NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES:

The March 31, 1997 Balance Sheet includes Investment in
Securities consisting of U.S. Treasury Security Strips which
represents their cost, plus accreted interest income of
$121,901 for Series 7, $100,123 for Series 8, $52,306 for

of Blue Ridge Elderly Housing, L.P. for the year ended December 31,
1994 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated January 14,
1995, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blue
Ridge Elderly Housing, L.P., RECD Project No.: 10-055-581936981, as
of December 31, and 1995, and the results of its operations,
changes in partners' equity and its cash flows for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary
information on pages 17 through 19 is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also
issued reports dated February 5, 1996, on our consideration of Blue
Ridge Elderly Housing, L.P.'s internal control structure and a
report dated February 5, 1996 on its compliance with laws and

fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Warsaw

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted

that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also
issued reports dated January 25, 1997 on our consideration of
Heritage Park Associates Limited Partnership's internal control
structure and on its compliance with laws and regulations.

The Partnership has filed tax returns with the Internal Revenue
Service which allow the partners to receive the benefit of a low
income housing tax credit. Because the qualifying standards of the
low income housing tax credit are different than the requirements
of the loan agreement and the interest credit agreements, and due
to the fact that the low income housing tax credit relates to
income taxes which are the responsibility of the individual
partners, the scope of these audits were not designed or intended
to audit the compliance with the various low income housing tax
credit laws. Therefore, these audits can not be relied on to give
assurances with regard to compliance with any low income housing
tax credit laws.

Brookstone Apartments, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Brookstone
Apartments, L.P., RHS Project No.: 10-055-582001269, as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,

financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards issued by the

that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Brookstone Apartments, L.P., RHS Project No.: 10-055-582001269, as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations,
changes in partners' equity and its cash flows for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
information on pages 15 and 16 is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also
issued reports dated February 1, 1997, on our consideration of
Brookstone Apartments, L.P.'s internal control structure and on its
