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, 1998, 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, 1998, 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, 1998 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 11.1% of the Series'
total balance sheet assets, Series 8 is 4.6%, Series 9 is 12.5%, Series 10
is 18.4% and Series 11 is 20.4%. The following table provides certain
summary information regarding the Project Partnerships in which Gateway had
an interest as of December 31, 1997:

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Securities and Related Security Holder
Matters

(a) Gateway's Limited Partnership interests are not publicly
traded. There is no market for Gateway's Limited Partnership
interests and it is unlikely that any will develop. No transfers
of Limited Partnership Interests are permitted without the prior
written consent of the Managing General Partner. There have been
several transfers from inception to date with most being from
individuals to their trusts or heirs. The Managing General Partner
is not aware of the price at which Limited Partnership units are
transferred. The criteria for and the details regarding transfers
are found on pages A-28 and A-29 of the Limited Partnership
Agreement under ARTICLE XII under the caption "Transfers of Units"
found in the Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.

There have been no distributions to Limited Partner investors from
inception to date.

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.

As disclosed on the statement of operations for each Series, except as
described below, interest income is comparable for the years ended March
31, 1998, March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996. General and Administrative
expenses - General Partner and General and Administrative expenses - Other
for the year ended March 31, 1998 are comparable to March 31, 1997 and
March 31, 1996.

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,
1998, 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 96% at December 31, 1997.

Equity in losses of Project Partnerships for the year ended March 31,
1998 of $909,991 were comparable to the Equity in losses of Project
Partnerships of $936,184 for the year ended March 31, 1997 and $936,257 for
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 $1,553,899,
$1,625,748 and $1,573,077 for the periods ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and
1997, 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.

At March 31, 1998, the Series had $286,106 of short-term investments
(Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $451,895 in Zero Coupon
Treasuries with annual maturities providing $45,000 in fiscal year 1999
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 $1,010,863 for the year ending March 31, 1998. However, after adjusting
for Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships of $909,991 and the changes in
operating assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was
$51,020 of which $41,281 was the Asset Management Fee actually paid. Cash
provided by investing activities totaled $69,146 consisting of $34,057 in
cash distributions from the Project Partnerships and $35,089 from matured
Zero Coupon Treasuries. There were no unusual events or trends to
describe.

A Project Partnership located in Elk Point, SD experienced cash
shortages from operations in 1997due to low occupancy. The local general
partner has funded the deficit by lending $5,080 in 1997 and from $5,000
withdrawn from the property's replacement reserve account. Occupancy was
84% at June 30, 1998. Management does not expect any materially adverse
effect to Gateway from this Project Partnership.

Series 8 - Gateway closed this Series on June 28, 1993 after receiving
$9,980,000 from 664 Limited Partner investors. As of March 31, 1998, 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, 1997.

Equity in losses of Project Partnerships for the year ended March 31,
1998 of $963,455 was comparable to the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
(These Project Partnerships reported depreciation and amortization of
$1,521,763, $1,652,936 and $1,627,815 for the periods ended December 31,
1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.) Overall management believes the
Project Partnerships are operating as expected and are generating tax
credits which meet projections.

At March 31, 1998, the Series had $410,727 of short-term investments
(Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $427,873 in Zero Coupon
Treasuries with annual maturities providing $45,000 in fiscal year 1999
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 $1,060,938 for the year ending March 31, 1998. However, after adjusting
for Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships of $963,455 and the changes
in operating assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities
was $45,918 of which $40,379 was the Asset Management Fee actually paid.
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $60,607 consisting of $27,736
received in cash distributions from the Project Partnerships and $32,418
from matured Zero Coupon Treasuries. 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.

A Project Partnership located in Bridgeport, NE experienced significant
cash shortages from operations in 1997due to low occupancy. The local
general partner has funded the deficit by lending $10,015 in 1997.
Occupancy improved to 92% at June 30, 1998. Management does not expect any
materially adverse effect to Gateway from this Project Partnership.

A Project Partnership located in Russellville, KY experienced cash
shortages from operations in 1997 due to low occupancy. The deficit was
funded using withdrawals from the property's replacement reserve account.
We are in discussion with the local general partner regarding funding the
deficits and working toward a permanent solution. Management does not
expect any materially adverse effect to Gateway from this Project
Partnership.

Series 9 - Gateway closed this Series on September 30, 1993 after
receiving $6,254,000 from 406 Limited Partner investors. As of March 31,
1998, 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 95% at December 31, 1997.

Equity in losses of Project Partnerships of $459,627 for the year ended
March 31, 1998 were comparable to $508,807 for the year ended March 31,
1997 and to $458,221 for the year ended March 31, 1996. (These Project
Partnerships reported depreciation and amortization of $863,953, $913,666,
and $901,709 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.) Overall management believes the Project Partnerships are
operating as expected and are generating tax credits which meet
projections.

At March 31, 1998, the Series had $180,104 of short-term investments
(Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $286,984 in Zero Coupon
Treasuries with annual maturities providing $29,000 in fiscal year 1999
increasing to $47,000 in fiscal year 2009. 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 net loss of
$512,506 for the period ending March 31, 1998. After adjusting for Equity
in Losses of Project Partnerships of $459,629 and the changes in operating
assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $23,797
of which $17,861 was the Asset Management Fee actually paid. Cash provided
by investing activities totaled $42,088 consisting of $19,291 received in
cash distributions from the Project Partnerships and $22,797 from matured
Zero Coupon Treasuries. 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,
1998, the series had invested $3,914,672 in 15 Project Partnerships located
in 10 states containing 409 apartment units. Average occupancy of the
Project Partnerships was 96% at December 31, 1997.

Equity in losses of Project Partnerships increased from $167,857 for the
year ended March 31, 1996 to $190,191 for the year ended March 31, 1997 as
properties were acquired and placed in service. Equity in losses of
Project Partnerships was comparable for the year ended March 31, 1998 at
$195,183. (These Project Partnerships reported depreciation and
amortization of $475,696, $516,816 and $511,020 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997 respectively.) Overall management
believes the Project Partnerships are operating as expected and are
generating tax credits which meet projections.

At March 31, 1998, the Series had $202,435 of short-term investments
(Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $229,390 in Zero Coupon
Treasuries with annual maturities providing $24,000 in fiscal year 1999
increasing to $40,000 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 cash flows, the Series had net loss of
$224,779 for the year ending March 31, 1998. After adjusting for Equity in
Losses of Project Partnerships of $195,183 and the changes in operating
assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $25,089
of which $26,179 was the Asset Management Fee actually paid. Cash provided
by investing activities totaled $27,781 consisting of $17,848 received in
cash distributions from the Project Partnerships, $17,645 from matured Zero
Coupon Treasuries. 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 11 - Gateway closed this Series on April 29, 1994 after receiving
$5,127,000 from 330 Limited investors. As of March 31, 1998 the series had
invested $4,128,042 in 12 Project Partnerships located in 7 states
containing 361 apartments. Average occupancy of the Project Partnerships
was 97% at December 31, 1997.

Equity in losses of Project Partnerships increased from $134,308 for the
year ended March 31, 1996 to $182,485 for the year ended March 31, 1997 due
to the number of properties moving from the construction and rent-up phases
to fully operational. Equity in losses of Project Partnerships of $163,364
for the year ended March 31, 1998 was comparable to March 31, 1997. (These
Project Partnerships reported depreciation and amortization of $198,591,
$537,223 and $506,631 for the periods ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and
1997.) Overall management believes the Project Partnerships are operating
as expected and are generating tax credits which meet projections.

At March 31, 1998, the Series had $208,198 of short-term investments
(Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $244,562 in Zero Coupon
Treasuries with annual maturities providing $23,000 in fiscal year 1999
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 $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. Interest income of $26,502 for the year ended
March 31, 1998 was comparable to the year ended March 31, 1997.

As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had net loss of
$183,183 for the year ending March 31, 1998. After adjusting for Equity in
Losses of Project Partnerships of $163,364 and the changes in operating
assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was $16,475
of which $17,943 was the Asset Management Fee actually paid. Cash provided
by investing activities totaled $55,288 consisting of $16,574 from matured
Zero Coupon Treasures and $38,714 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, 1998 and 1997 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 as of March 31, 1998 and
1997 and the equity in their losses for each of the periods indicated:

Assets Partnership Loss
March 31, Year Ended March 31,
--------- ---------------------
1998 1997 1998 1997 1996
---- ---- ---- ---- ----

Series 7 55% 58% 59% 63% 54%
Series 8 51% 51% 54% 53% 59%
Series 9 44% 42% 28% 24% 20%
Series 10 56% 54% 33% 20% 28%
Series 11 76% 77% 91% 93% 70%


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,
1998 and 1997, 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, 1998, 1997 AND 1996

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, 1998, 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 in
curred.

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, and
3) Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and expenses.

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

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

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

Gateway recognizes a decline in the carrying value of its investment in
the Project Partnerships when there is evidence of a non-temporary decline
in the recoverable amount of the investment. There is a possibility that
the estimates relating to reserves for non-temporary declines in carrying
value of the investments in Project Partnerships may be subject to material
near term adjustments.

Gateway, as a limited partner in the Project Partnerships, is subject to
risks inherent in the ownership of property which are beyond its control,
such as fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations
in rental schedules, proper maintenance and continued eligibility of tax
credits. If the cost of operating a property exceeds the rental income
earned thereon, Gateway may deem it in its best interest to voluntarily
provide funds in order to protect its investment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

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, 1998 Balance Sheet includes Investment in Securities
consisting of U.S. Treasury Security Strips which represents their cost,
plus accreted interest income of $142,109 for Series 7, $119,403 for Series
8, $64,688 for Series 9, $54,277 for Series 10 and $59,366 for Series 11.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Payable to General Partners primarily represents the asset management
fees owed to the General Partners at the end of the period. It is
unsecured, due on demand and, in accordance with the limited partnership
agreement, non-interest bearing. Within the next 12 months, the Managing
General Partner does not intend to demand payment on the portion of Asset
Management Fees payable classified as long-term on the Balance Sheet.

The Payable to Project Partnerships represents unpaid capital
contributions to the Project Partnerships and will be paid after certain
performance criteria are met. Such contributions are in turn payable to
the general partners of the Project Partnerships.

For the periods ended March 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 the General Partners
and affiliates are entitled to compensation and reimbursement for costs and
expenses incurred by Gateway as follows:

Acquisition Fees - Acquisition fees are paid for services rendered by the
Managing General Partner in selecting properties for acquisition and
providing other services in connection with the acquisition of interests in
Project Partnerships. The acquisition fees paid or payable to the General
Partners will not exceed the amount that is equal to 8% of the gross
proceeds. For Series 11 the fees will not exceed an amount that is equal
to 5% of the gross proceeds. The fees paid are included in Investments in
Project Partnerships on the Balance Sheet.

The partnership's tax returns have been filed allowing the partners to
claim a benefit of a low income housing tax credit. Because the compliance
and qualification standards of the low income housing tax credit are not
related to the interest credit agreement and loan agreement, and because
the low income housing tax credit related to income taxes which are the
responsibility of each individual partner, the scope of our audit was not
designed or intended to audit the partnerships compliance with the low
income housing tax credit laws. Accordingly, our audit cannot be relied
upon to give assurance with regard to the partnerships compliance with any
of the low income housing tax credit laws.

Managing General Partner
Heritage Park Associates Limited Partnership
Boise, Idaho

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Heritage Park Associates
Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows for
the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
Standards and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States and the Rural Development Audit Program issued
in December 1989. 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 Heritage Park
Associates Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued
reports dated February 2, 1998 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.
