Item 1. Business
Organization
Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P. (the "Fund") is a limited partnership formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act as of September 19, 1991. Effective as of June 1, 2001, there was a restructuring and, as a result, the Fund’s general partner was reorganized as follows. The general partner of the Fund continues to be Boston Capital Associates III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The general partner of the general partner is now BCA Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation. John P. 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. The assignor limited partner is BCTC III Assignor Corp., a Delaware corporation which is wholly-owned by John P. Manning.
The assignor limited partner was formed for the purpose of serving in that capacity for the Fund and will not engage in any other business. Units of beneficial interest in the limited partnership interest of the assignor limited partner are assigned by the assignor limited partner by means of beneficial assignee certificates ("BACs") to investors and investors are entitled to all the rights and economic benefits of a limited partner of the Fund, including rights to a percentage of the income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and distributions of the Fund.
A Registration Statement on Form S-11 and the related prospectus,(together with each subsequently filed prospectus, the "Prospectus") was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and became effective January 24, 1992 in connection with a public offering (together with each subsequent offering of BACs described herein, the "Offering") in one or more series of a minimum of 250,000 BACs and a maximum of 20,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC. On September 4, 1993 the Fund filed Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which registered an additional 2,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in one or more series. The registration for additional BACs became effective on October 6, 1993. As of March 31, 2010, subscriptions had been received and accepted by the General Partner in Series 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 for 21,996,102 BACs, representing capital contributions of $219,961,020. The Fund issued the last BACs in Series 19 on December 17, 1993. This concluded the Offering of the Fund.
Description of Business
The Fund's principal business is to invest as a limited partner in other limited partnerships (the "Operating Partnerships") each of which will own or lease and will operate an apartment complex exclusively or partially for low- and moderate-income tenants. Each Operating Partnership in which the Fund invests owns apartment complexes, which are completed, newly constructed, under construction or rehabilitation, or to-be constructed or rehabilitated, and which are expected to receive government assistance. Each apartment complex is expected to qualify for the low-income housing tax credit under Section 42 of the Code (the "Federal Housing Tax Credit"), providing tax benefits over a period of ten to twelve years in the form of tax credits which investors may use to offset income, subject to strict limitations, from other sources. Some apartment complexes may also qualify for the historic rehabilitation tax credit under Section 47 of the Code (the "Rehabilitation Tax Credit"). Section 236 (f) (ii) of the National Housing Act, as amended, and Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, as amended, each provide for the making by HUD of rent supplement payments to low income tenants in properties which receive other forms of federal assistance including tax credits. The payments for each tenant, which are made directly to the owner of their property, generally are in amounts to enable the tenant to pay rent equal to 30% of the adjusted family income. Some of the apartment complexes in which the Fund has invested are receiving such rent supplements from HUD. HUD has been in the process of converting rent supplement assistance to assistance paid not to the owner of the apartment complex, but directly to the individuals. At this time, the Fund is unable to predict whether Congress will continue rent supplement programs payable directly to owners of apartment complexes.
As of March 31, 2011 the Fund had invested in 36 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 15, 43 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 16, 32 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 17, 24 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 18 and 17 Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 19. A description of these Operating Partnerships is set forth in Item 2 herein.
The business objectives of the Fund are to:
(1)
Provide current tax benefits to investors in the form of Federal Housing Tax Credits and, in limited instances, a small amount of Rehabilitation Tax Credits, which an investor may apply, subject to strict limitations, against the investor's federal income tax liability from active, portfolio and passive income;
(2)
Preserve and protect the Fund's capital and provide capital appreciation and cash distributions through increases in value of the Fund's investments and, to the extent applicable, equity buildup through periodic payments on the mortgage indebtedness with respect to the apartment complexes;
(3)
Provide tax benefits in the form of passive losses which an investor may apply to offset his passive income (if any); and
(4)
Provide cash distributions (except with respect to the Fund's investment in some non-profit Operating Partnerships) from capital transaction proceeds. The Operating Partnerships intend to hold the apartment complexes for appreciation in value. The Operating Partnerships may sell the apartment complexes after a period of time if financial conditions in the future make such sales desirable and if such sales are permitted by government restrictions.
Employees
The Fund does not have any employees. Services are performed by the general partner and its affiliates and agents retained by them.
Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As used in this Item 1A, references to “we, “us” and “our” mean the Fund.
An investment in our BACs and our investments in Operating Partnerships are subject to risks. These risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in our BACs, and the amount of proceeds available for distribution to our limited partners, if any, on liquidation of our investments.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business operations.
The ability of limited partners to claim tax losses from their investment in us is limited.
The IRS may audit us or an Operating Partnership and challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits and tax losses allocable to the investors could be reduced if the IRS were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce tax benefits from an investment in our BACs. Changes in tax laws could also impact the tax benefits from an investment in our BACs and/or the value of the Operating Partnerships. Until the Operating Partnerships have completed a mandatory fifteen year Low Income Housing Tax Credit compliance period, investors are at risk for potential recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that have already been claimed.
The Low Income Housing Tax Credits rules are extremely complicated and noncompliance with these rules may have adverse consequences for BAC holders.
Noncompliance with applicable tax regulations may result in the loss of future Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits already taken. In most cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that an individual can use is limited to the tax liability due on the person’s last $25,000 of taxable income. The Operating Partnerships may be sold at a price which would not result in our realizing cash distributions or proceeds from the transaction. Accordingly, we may be unable to distribute any cash to our investors. Low Income Housing Tax Credits may be the only benefit from an investment in our BACs.
Poor performance of one housing complex, or the real estate market generally, could impair our ability to satisfy our investment objectives.
Each housing complex is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If an Operating Partnership failed to pay its mortgage, it could lose its housing complex in foreclosure. If foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years of the existence of the Fund, the loss of any remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a fractional recapture of previously claimed Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and a loss of our investment in the housing complex would occur. To the extent the Operating Partnerships receive government financing or operating subsidies, they may be subject to one or more of the following risks:
-
difficulties in obtaining rent increases;
-
limitations on cash distributions;
-
limitations on sales or refinancing of Operating Partnerships;
-
limitations on transfers of interests in Operating Partnerships;
-
limitations on removal of local general partners;
-
limitations on subsidy programs; and
-
possible changes in applicable regulations.
The value of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions, including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions, among others.
No trading market for the BACs exists or is expected to develop.
There is currently no active trading market for the BACs. Accordingly, limited partners may be unable to sell their BACs or may have to sell BACs at a discount. Limited partners should consider their BACs to be a long-term investment.
Investors may realize taxable gain on sale or disposition of BACs.
Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of BACs, investors will realize taxable income to the extent that their allocable share of the non-recourse mortgage indebtedness on the apartment complexes, together with the money they receive from the sale of the BACs, is greater than the original cost of their BACs. This realized taxable income is reduced to the extent that investors have suspended passive losses or credits. It is possible that the sale of BACs may not generate enough cash to pay the tax obligations arising from the sale.
Investors may have tax liability in excess of cash.
Investors eventually may be allocated profits for tax purposes, which exceed any cash distributed to them. Under these circumstances, unless an investor has passive losses or credits to reduce this tax liability, the investor will have to pay federal income tax without a corresponding cash distribution. Similarly, in the event of a sale or foreclosure of an apartment complex or a sale of BACs, an investor may be allocated taxable income, resulting in tax liability, in excess of any cash distributed to him or her as a result of the event.
Investors may not receive cash if apartment complexes are sold.
There is no assurance that investors will receive any cash distributions from the sale or refinancing of an apartment complex. The price at which an apartment complex is sold may not be large enough to pay the mortgage and other expenses which must be paid at such time. Even if there are net cash proceeds from a sale distributed to the Fund, expenses such as accrued management fees and unpaid loans will be deducted pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Fund Agreement. If any of these events happen, investors will not get all of their investment back, and the only benefit from an investment will be the tax credits received.
The sale or refinancing of the apartment complexes is dependent upon the following material factors:
-
The necessity of obtaining the consent of the operating general partners;
-
The necessity of obtaining the approval of any governmental agency(ies) providing government assistance to the apartment complex; and
-
The uncertainty of the market.
Any sale may occur well after the fifteen-year federal housing tax credit compliance period.
We have insufficient sources of cash to pay our existing liabilities.
We currently do not have sufficient cash resources to satisfy our financial liabilities. Furthermore, we do not anticipate that we will have sufficient available cash to pay our future financial liabilities. Substantially all of our existing liabilities are payable to our general partner and its affiliates. Though the amounts payable to the General Partner and its affiliates are contractually currently payable, we do not believe that the General Partner or its affiliates will demand immediate payment of these contractual obligations in the near term; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. We would be materially adversely affected if the general partner or its affiliates demanded payment in the near term of our existing contractual liabilities or suspended the provision of services to us because of our inability to satisfy these obligations. All monies currently deposited, or that will be deposited in the future, into the Fund's working capital reserves are intended to be utilized to pay our existing and future liabilities.

Item 2. Properties
The Fund has acquired a limited partnership interest in 152 Operating Partnerships in five series, identified in the table set forth below. In each instance the apartment complexes owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the Federal Housing Tax Credit. Initial occupancy of a unit in each apartment complex which complied with the minimum set-aside test (i.e., initial occupancy by tenants with incomes equal to no more than a designated percentage of area median income) and the rent restriction test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to as "Qualified Occupancy." The general partner believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.
Please refer to Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a more detailed discussion of operational difficulties experienced by certain of the Operating Partnerships.

Results of Operations
The Fund incurred an annual fund management fee to the general partner and/or its affiliates in an amount equal to 0.5% of the aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of various partnership management and reporting fees paid or payable by the Operating Partnerships. The annual fund management fee incurred, net of reporting fees received for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, was $1,200,472 and $1,293,970, respectively.
The Fund's investment objectives do not include receipt of significant cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested or intends to invest. The Fund's investments in Operating Partnerships have been and will be made principally with a view towards realization of Federal Housing Tax Credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.
(Series 15). As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 36 properties at March 31, 2011, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.
For the tax years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the series, in total, generated $(206,305) and $(447,576), respectively, in passive tax income (losses) that were passed through to the investors. All of the Operating Partnerships in the Series have completed their respective credit periods prior to the year ended December 31, 2008, and it is not expected that any additional tax credits will be generated.
As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, Investments in Operating Partnerships for Series 15 was $0. Investments in Operating Partnerships was affected by the way the Fund accounts for its investments, the equity method. By using the equity method the Fund adjusts its investment cost for its share of each Operating Partnership's results of operations and for any distributions received or accrued.
For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the net income (loss) for series 15 was $(105,519) and $375,280, respectively. The major components of these amounts are the Fund's share of income (losses) from Operating Partnerships and the partnership management fee.
Beckwood Manor Eight Limited Partnership (Lakeside Apartments) is a 32-unit, senior property, located in Lake Village, Arkansas. The property receives rental assistance for 23 units and is generally able to keep those units occupied. It remains difficult to rent the units that do not have rental assistance. There are several other low income tax credit developments in the area offering rental assistance, and this competition is the main contributor to the property’s historically low occupancy. Management advertises the property in Lake Village’s local paper and in the other regional newspapers. The property also distributes fliers to all surrounding communities; however, management believes word of mouth and referrals are the most effective forms of obtaining potential residents. In 2010, occupancy averaged 65%, up 8% from 2009 levels. The property operated at breakeven in 2010 by controlling operating expenses. Through the first quarter of 2011, the property averaged 61% occupancy and is operating above breakeven due to a decrease in maintenance and administrative expenses. In order to decrease operating expenses, management completes a majority of work orders and property maintenance issues in-house. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits as needed. When necessary, the Operating Partnership has accrued management fees, all of which are due to the operating general partner, in order to fund operating deficits. During February 2011, the property experienced a common area fire on the second floor of the apartment complex. All displaced tenants are temporarily living with family or moved into vacant units at the property. The cost of the fire damage is estimated to be approximately $200,000 and will be covered entirely by insurance proceeds. Repairs are expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2011, and all units are expected to be back online by the end of June 2011. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are all current. On December 31, 2010, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Beckwood Manor Eight.
Livingston Plaza, Limited (Livingston Plaza) is a 24-unit, family property located in Livingston, Texas. The property has struggled with occupancy levels for several years. Despite efforts to improve the reputation of the property and reduce resident turnover and evictions, occupancy averaged 52% in 2010 and was 46% as of March 31, 2011. The property operated at breakeven in 2010 due to tightly controlled operating expenses. The continued low occupancy is partially due to economic conditions in the area and lack of qualified applicants. There are also several competitive properties less than a mile from the property. Management reports that trailer home ownership is very affordable in the area and often the monthly mortgage payment is in line with the rent at Livingston Plaza. Marketing consists of advertisements in local newspapers and distributing fliers to local businesses, churches, and schools. Also, to maintain a safe environment for the residents, the site manager worked with the local police department and was successful in establishing regular afternoon and evening police patrols through the property. The mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and accounts payable are current. The operating general partner guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Livingston Plaza. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
In October 2009, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Osage Housing Associates LP to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $530,583 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $480,000. Of the total proceeds received, $7,600 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $472,400 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 15. The monies held in cash reserves will be utilized to pay current operating
expenses, accrued but unpaid asset management fees, and accrued but unpaid expenses of the investment partnership.

The operating general partner passed away in the second quarter of 2007 and his widow assumed the operating general partner responsibilities. During 2008, communication with the new operating general partner became extremely difficult while operations declined below breakeven.

The property has historically operated with low occupancy, which has resulted in below breakeven operations. Marketing consists of advertisements in local newspapers and distributing fliers to local businesses, churches, and schools. Management has also contacted the local housing authority and has instituted a resident referral program. To help retain residents, management is offering on-site events to enhance the sense of community. Also, to maintain a safe environment for the residents, the site manager worked with the local police department and was successful in establishing regular afternoon and evening police patrols. Because of ongoing operating cash flow issues, the property was put under a workout plan with Rural Development in 2008.

However, due to continued cash flow issues, management was unsuccessful in funding the reserve and escrow accounts. In December 2009 management informed Rural Development of the issue and at this time is waiting for their response. Occupancy improved slightly during the first quarter of 2011 as it averaged 88%. However, the property is still operating below breakeven. The operating general partner's operating deficit guarantee has expired. The Operating Partnership’s mortgage payments are current.

Although the bad debt expense has decreased from 2010 levels, it was still high in the first quarter of 2011. Management is working on improving collections and improving initial resident screening. The property continues to be challenged by the poor condition of
the units and its isolated location. The mortgage, real estate taxes and insurance payments are current. The operating general partner’s obligation to fund operating deficits is unlimited in time and amount.

The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Park Place II, Ltd (Park Place Apartments) is a 34-unit property located in Lehigh Acres, FL. The property operated below breakeven through the first quarter of 2011 as a result of low occupancy and the costs incurred to market and turn units. Occupancy as of March 31, 2011 was 59%. Management struggled to rent units as Lehigh Acres has been hit hard by the economic downturn with significant job losses and decreased work hours. Turnover is high as residents are moving in with friends and family in order to lower monthly bills. Increased competition has also challenged the property. Specifically, there is another property within two miles of Park Place Apartments at a similar rent level but which offers more amenities. In order to effectively compete with the other property, management replaced the site manager in October 2010. Management increased marketing efforts in the first quarter of 2011 by posting fliers and leaving brochures at community organizations, grocery stores, and laundromats. The site manager also contacts the housing authority on a weekly basis. When funds allow, advertisements are run in all local and surrounding newspapers and supplements. The investment general partner will continue to monitor operations at the property to ensure occupancy increases and expenses stabilize. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Park Place II.

Cypress Point LP (Laurel Ridge Apartments) is a 78-unit property located in Naples, FL. Prior to 2007, the Naples area had experienced significant growth, which was driven by real estate development, but in 2007 construction activity halted due to oversupply and declining property values. In efforts to avoid foreclosure, many private owners began competing with Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties by accepting Section 8 vouchers. As no additional Section 8 vouchers were being provided to area residents, the market became extremely competitive as properties were vying for the same dwindling tenant base. Concessions increased dramatically and effective rental rates declined significantly. In addition, the tourism market slowed, resulting in many service employees losing their jobs or seeing their hours reduced. As a result, evictions increased in the market and at the property. Management at Laurel Ridge has reduced rents and is offering a one-month concession broken out over the first two months of a twelve-month lease. Although the property was able to maintain average occupancy of 94% in 2010, operations remained below breakeven. Management is working with tenants to make payment arrangements in an effort to reduce bad debt and evictions. At the end of the first quarter of 2011, occupancy was 95% with below breakeven operations. The investment general partner will work with the operating general partner to reduce bad debt and ensure that all deficits are funded. The mortgage, real estate taxes, and insurance payments are current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Cypress Point LP.

Bear Creek of Naples (Bear Creek Apartments) is a 120-unit family development located in Naples, Florida. Occupancy dropped slightly in the first quarter of 2011, with March 2011 occupancy ending at 88%. The property continued to operate below breakeven in the first quarter because of high administrative and maintenance expenses. These expenses were necessary in order to advertise the property and turn the units for incoming residents. Management continues to run advertisements in the local newspaper and to utilize signs in front of the property displaying rents to drive-by traffic as the property is on a main road. The on-site manager has been utilizing a strong resident retention
program to reduce turnover costs. The program includes various social functions as well as a resident referral program and newsletter. The property’s insurance payments are current but the real estate taxes and mortgage are currently delinquent. The local tax authority has issued a tax certificate for the delinquent taxes which will accrue interest until paid. The operating general partner has three years to pay the delinquent taxes before the property goes to tax sale. The operating general partner paid the 2010 real estate taxes in the first quarter of 2011 and anticipates paying the 2009 real estate taxes by September 30, 2011, which is within the allotted three year deadline before the property could face a tax sale. In addition to the delinquent taxes, the mortgage is delinquent as the operating general partner stopped making mortgage payments in June 2010 in an attempt to focus the lender’s attention on the property. The operating general partner is attempting to force the lender to reconsider their previous decision to reject any workout plan. In the third quarter 2010, the lender initiated foreclosure proceedings. During court proceedings, the operating general partner argued that a foreclosure would terminate the Operating Partnership’s Land Use Restriction Agreement and do a disservice to the community by eliminating the stipulation that the property remain affordable. This approach was successful in delaying foreclosure as the court issued a denial of the lender’s motion to appoint a receiver on September 20, 2010. The litigation continued in the first quarter of 2011, with the operating general partner submitting a counterclaim to further delay foreclosure. The counterclaim argues that the prepayment penalty of $500,000 is extreme and was charged by the lender in an attempt to prevent the property from refinancing the loan with an alternative lender. There is a hearing in July 2011 for appointment of a receiver, where the operating general partner will argue that there is interest in the property and should obtain receivership. If the court rejects the operating general partner’s counterclaim, it is likely that the lender will foreclose on the property in 2011. The operating general partner is still hopeful that the lender will work to negotiate a workout plan by the end of 2011. The investment general partner will continue to monitor these issues. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Bear Creek of Naples. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Parvin’s L.P. (Parvin’s Branch Townhouses) is a 24-unit family property located in Vineland, New Jersey. In 2010, occupancy averaged 82%, and the property continued to operate below breakeven. Through the first quarter of 2011, occupancy increased to 83%. The property has experienced significant collection issues due to the current tenant profile and the nature of eviction laws in the State of New Jersey. According to management, evictions can take up to 6 months to fully process in the State of New Jersey. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits as needed. The first mortgage matured in July 2009. Mortgage payments were made during the negotiating period, to keep the loan current. The operating general partner renegotiated the original loan effective April 30, 2010. This loan modification resulted in decreased interest and reduced monthly payments. The loan was extended three years and matures on March 27, 2013. This new loan alleviated some of the property’s deficit, as it nearly broke even in 2010. The real estate taxes and insurance payments are all current through the first quarter of 2011. On December 31, 2008, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Parvin’s L.P. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
In March 2010, the operating general partner of Preston Wood Associates LP approved an agreement to sell the property and the transaction closed on
August 9, 2010. The sales price for the property was $992,000, which included the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $449,928 and cash proceeds to the investment partnership of $7,500. Of the total proceeds received, $7,500 was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the sale, which includes third party legal costs. No proceeds were returned to cash reserves held by Series 18. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, no gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership was recorded as of September 30, 2010.
Humboldt I, LP (Briarwood Apartments)is a 20-unit property located in Humboldt, IA. Operations have struggled at the property for the past several years due to low occupancy and high maintenance expenses related to resident turnover. Lack of cash flow and withdrawals to finance capital expenditures have resulted in an underfunding of the replacement reserve escrow. Historical and ongoing challenges cited by management include problem tenants that require eviction, difficulty attracting quality tenants, and the poor state of the local economy. Management relies heavily on outside contacts and referrals from the local housing authority, but also runs advertisements on a weekly basis in a free weekly advertiser that is distributed throughout town. Advertising has been expanded into surrounding towns to increase interest in the property. The property is operating under a Servicing Workout Plan approved by Rural Development on September 28, 2009. The Plan aims to fully fund the replacement reserve escrow, pay down accounts payable, and increase occupancy. Average occupancy in 2010 was 82%, and the property operated at breakeven. Through the first quarter of 2011, average occupancy has improved to 93% and the property is operating above breakeven. On December 31, 2010, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Humboldt I, LP. The mortgage, taxes, and insurance are current.
Marengo Park Apartments LP (West Pine Homes) is a 24-unit property located in Marengo Park, IA. Occupancy has historically been an issue at this property, mainly due to evictions for nonpayment of rent and residents vacating because of job losses. The property is operating under a Servicing Workout Plan approved by Rural Development on March 3, 2009, which aims to fund the replacement reserves, make payables current, and resolve capital improvement issues. In the summer of 2010 the operating general partner hired a new property manager and changed the name of the community to West Pine Homes with the hopes of improving the reputation of the property. Current marketing includes advertising on Rent.com, advertising in the Local Free Shopper (which covers three cities/towns), posting fliers in the local community and frequent contacts with local agencies, as well as ‘for rent’ signs located on the property. Occupancy averaged 76% in 2010 and the property operated slightly below breakeven. Through the first quarter of 2011, occupancy averaged 78% and the property continues to operate slightly below breakeven. Accounts payable remain high in 2011, and have increased from 2010. Continued below breakeven operations have hindered the operating general partner’s ability to pay down these expenses. The investment limited partner will continue to work closely with the operating general partner until occupancy improves and operations stabilize. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Marengo Park Apartments. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
In January 2010, the investment general partner transferred its interest in Maple Leaf Apartments LP to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of
approximately $1,057,089 and cash proceeds to the investment limited partner of $0. In addition, the investment general partner on behalf of the investment limited partnership entered into an agreement with the Operating Partnership for receipt of a residual payment, if any. Under the terms of the residual agreement if the property owned by the Operating Partnership is refinanced or sold, on or before December 18, 2013, and cash proceeds are paid to the Operating Partnership as a result of such refinance or sale, there will be a payment of cash proceeds distributable to the investment limited partnership in accordance with the Operating Partnership Agreement in effect at the date the investment limited partnership transferred its interest. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, no gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership was recorded as of March 31, 2010.
In May 2010, the investment general partner of Series 18 and Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund IV LP - Series 20, respectively, transferred their interests in Evergreen Hills Associates, Limited Partnership to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $2,635,694 and cash proceeds to the investment partnerships of $29,680 and $12,720 in Series 18 and Series 20, respectively. Of the total proceeds received, $22,680 and $9,720, for Series 18 and Series 20, respectively, represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnerships and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $7,000 and $3,000, for Series 18 and Series 20, respectively, was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. No proceeds were returned to cash reserves held by Series 18 and Series 20, respectively. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, no gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership was recorded as of June 30, 2010.
(Series 19). As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the average Qualified Occupancy for the series was 100%. The series had a total of 17 properties at March 31, 2011, all of which were at 100% Qualified Occupancy.
For the tax year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the series, in total, generated $155,714 and $(107,836), respectively, in passive tax income (losses) that were passed through to the investors. All of the Operating Partnerships in the Series have completed their respective credit periods prior to the year ended December 31, 2008, and it is not expected that any additional tax credits will be generated.
As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, Investments in Operating Partnerships for Series 19 was $0. Investments in Operating Partnerships are affected by the way the Fund accounts for these investments, the equity method. By using the
equity method the Fund adjusts its investment cost for its share of each Operating Partnership's results of operations and for any distributions received or accrued.
For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the net income (loss) for series 19 was $4,848,054 and $110,179, respectively. The major components of these amounts are the Fund's share of income from Operating Partnerships, partnership management fee. The variance in net income is due to the income recorded from the dispositions of Operating Partnerships in the current year.
Carrollton Villa, L.P. (Meadow Ridge Apartments), is a 35 unit family project located in Carrollton, Missouri. The property has historically operated below breakeven, due to insufficient rental rates and low occupancy, resulting from few job opportunities in the property’s rural location. The property also suffers from high operating expenses, specifically utilities. Over the past five years the City of Carrollton has dramatically increased water and sewer rates to cover the repair of water lines. Water and sewer rates have increased over 300% from 2005 levels. In 2010, the average annual occupancy was 99%, and remained consistently high in the first quarter of 2011 averaging 98%; in spite of the high occupancy, the property has continued to operate below breakeven. To alleviate the pressure on cash flow, the lender agreed to make the mortgage a cash flow only mortgage in 2004. This allowed the property to reduce operating deficits. Also, the maturity dates for the first and second mortgages were extended from December 2008 and November 2008 to December 2013 and November 2013, respectively. The real estate taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current. Operating deficits continue to be funded through operating general partner contributions. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Carrollton Villas. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Forest Associates Limited (Sharon Apartments) is a 24-unit apartment complex for families located in Forest, OH. The operating general partner passed away in the second quarter of 2007 and his widow assumed the operating general partner responsibilities. During 2008, communication with the new operating general partner became extremely difficult. The operations declined and the property operated below breakeven for 2008 with occupancy ending at 63% for December 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the investment general partner learned that the current management company’s contract had been terminated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, Rural Development accelerated the note and started foreclosure proceedings. Although the operating general partner appealed, the appeal was denied. The investment general partner learned of these developments from the real estate broker engaged by the operating general partner. The affiliated management company of a potential replacement operating general partner was placed on-site by Rural Development during May 2009. The potential operating general partner had been interested in acquiring the operating general partner and investment general partner interests, but attempts by the potential operating general partner to develop a workout plan failed and Rural Development is proceeding with the foreclosure. Rural Development is currently paying for the property’s caretaking expenses. On December 31, 2010, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Forest Associates.
Jeremy Associates, LP (Coopers Crossing Apartments) is a 93-unit family development located in Las Colinas, Texas. Despite an average occupancy of 99% in 2010, the property continued to operate below breakeven due to high operating expenses. Rental revenues increased in 2010, which allowed for a decrease in the amount of cash flow loss from prior years. Occupancy continues to be strong, averaging 100% in 2011. Operating expenses are high mainly due to high maintenance costs as a result of severe physical deficiencies in a number of buildings on site. Since construction, a number of the buildings have had differential settlement issues resulting in cracked floor slabs, cracked brick veneer, cracking windows and doors and sagging balconies. These concerns have been addressed on an ongoing basis via advances by the operating general partner. Cost control efforts include staffing reduction, reduced marketing and the shutting down of one boiler during warmer months. The operating general partner continues to fund operating deficits despite the
expiration of the operating deficit guarantee. So far the operating general partner has advanced over $2,000,000 for repairs and operating deficits. The mortgage, trade payables, property taxes and insurance are current. The low income housing tax credit compliance period expired on December 31, 2010. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Sherwood Knoll L.P. (Sherwood Knoll Apartments) is a 24-unit project in Rainsville, Alabama. The property operated below breakeven in 2009 with an average occupancy of 89%. Occupancy improved in 2010, averaging 95% for the year, but the property still operated below breakeven. The property has continued to maintain strong occupancy in the first quarter of 2011, averaging 97%. In order to improve occupancy and increase traffic at the property, management has been advertising in the local newspaper as well as posting fliers throughout the immediate area. A new site manager has also been hired, and regional management reports that she is doing a good job and is proving to be very effective at collecting current and delinquent rents. In addition to the improved occupancy, Rural Development approved a $10 rent increase effective January 1, 2011. This rent increase along with high occupancy should help to improve the property’s operations. The investment general partner will continue to work with the operating general partner to attain above breakeven operations. The operating deficit guarantee is unlimited in time and amount. The real estate taxes, mortgage and insurance are all current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Sherwood Knoll, L.P. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
Northpointe, L.P. (Northpointe Apartments) is a 158-unit family property located in Kansas City, MO. In 2009, despite average occupancy of 92% and a slight decrease in operating expenses, the property operated below breakeven. Rents have been kept below the maximum allowable to remain competitive with two nearby tax credit properties developed within the past five years. Occupancy in 2011 has averaged 88%, and has increased to 91% as of March 31, 2011. Move-outs continue due to the struggling local economy. The main reason for residents moving out is that they cannot afford to pay the rent. Two residents were evicted in the fourth quarter of 2010. Rental rates remain insufficient to cover expenses. The operating general partner along with management has increased the size of their advertisement in the For Rent Magazine, enhanced online advertising, and temporarily reduced rents and value priced selected one and two bedroom apartments in order to improve occupancy. The operating general partner and investment general partner have explored refinancing and disposition options, but the significant prepayment penalty of $770,000 associated with the debt has prevented a sale or refinance from being a feasible option. The operating general partner plans to continue funding the property to the best of his ability until the mortgage is closer to its maturity date of August 2014. The property’s mortgage, real estate taxes and insurance payments are all current. On December 31, 2009, the 15-year low income housing tax credit compliance period expired with respect to Northpointe, LP. The investment general partner is in the process of exploring various disposition opportunities consistent with the investment objectives of the investment partnership.
In May 2009, the investment general partner entered into an agreement to transfer its interest in Sugarwood Park LP to an entity affiliated with the operating general partner for its assumption of the outstanding mortgage balance of approximately $2,970,215 and cash proceeds to the investment partnerships of $66,933 and $66,933 to Series 17 and Series 19, respectively. Of the total proceeds received, $15,000 and $15,000 for Series 17 and 19, respectively, represents reporting fees due to an affiliate of the investment partnerships and the balance represents proceeds from the transfer. Of the remaining proceeds, $4,563 and $4,563 from Series 17 and Series 19, respectively, was paid to BCAMLP for expenses related to the transfer, which includes third party legal costs. The remaining proceeds of $47,370 and $47,370 were returned to cash reserves held by Series 17 and Series 19,
respectively.

After all outstanding obligations of the investment partnership are satisfied, any remaining monies will be distributed based on the number of BACs held by each investor at the time of distribution. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the investment limited partnership investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Accordingly, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership, net of the overhead and expense reimbursement, has been recorded in the amount of $47,370 and $47,370 for Series 17 and Series 19, respectively, as of June 30, 2009.

Principal Accounting Policies and Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require the Fund to make various estimates and assumptions. The following section is a summary of some aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of the Fund’s financial condition and results of operations. The Fund believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements.
The Fund is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which are primarily investments in limited partnerships. The Fund accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Fund does not control the operations of the Operating Partnerships. The purpose of an impairment analysis is to verify that the real estate investment balance reflected on the balance sheet does not exceed the value of the underlying investments.
If the book value of the Fund’s investment in an Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, which generally consists of the remaining future Low-Income Housing Credits allocable to the Fund and the estimated residual value to the Fund, the Fund reduces its investment in the Operating Partnership.
In accordance with the accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Fund determines when it should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements, and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE. The analysis that must be performed to determine which entity should consolidate a VIE focuses on control and economic factors. A VIE is a legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if it is the primary beneficiary because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
Based on this guidance, the Operating Partnerships in which the Fund invests meet the definition of a VIE because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, management does not consolidate the Fund’s interests in these VIEs, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities. The Fund currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset on its balance sheets, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements. The Fund’s balance in investment in Operating Partnerships plus advances made to Operating Partnerships represents its maximum exposure to loss. The Fund’s exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying Housing Complexes as well as the strength of the general partners and their guarantee against credit recapture to the investors of the Fund.
Recent Accounting Changes
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and shall be applied prospectively except for very limited transactions. In February 2008, the FASB delayed for one year implementation of the guidance as it pertains to certain non-financial assets and liabilities. The Fund adopted GAAP for Fair Value Measurements effective April 1, 2008, except as it applies to those non-financial assets and liabilities, for which the effective date was April 1, 2009. The Fund has determined that adoption of this guidance has no material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.
In November 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance on Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations that addresses how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed, how an equity method investee’s issuance of shares should be accounted for, and how to account for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. This guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Fund adopted the guidance for the interim quarterly period beginning April 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidance does not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial condition or results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance for Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This requires disclosure about the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements. It became effective for Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund III L.P. as of and for the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and has no impact on the Fund’s financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding subsequent events, which was subsequently updated in February 2010. This guidance established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was therefore adopted by the Fund for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the subsequent events that the Fund reports, either through recognition or disclosure, in the financial statements. In February 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on subsequent events to remove the requirement to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, alleviating conflicts with current SEC guidance. This amendment was effective immediately and therefore the Company did not include the disclosure in this Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Changes - continued
In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification (Codification). Effective July 1, 2009, the Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Codification is intended to reorganize, rather than change, existing GAAP. Accordingly, all references to currently existing GAAP have been removed and have been replaced with plain English explanations of the Fund’s accounting policies. The adoption of the Codification did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). The amended guidance modifies the consolidation model to one based on control and economics, and replaced quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the amended guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE. Additionally, the amendment requires enhanced and expanded disclosures around VIEs. This amendment was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Fund’s financial statements.

Controls & Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Fund’s general partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of C&M Management, Inc., carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Fund’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the disclosure controls and procedures with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole, were adequate and effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to any series or the Fund as a whole required to be included in the Fund’s periodic SEC filings.
(b)
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) of each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole. The Fund’s internal control system over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Fund’s management regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Due to inherent limitations, an internal control system over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
The Fund's general partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Boston Capital Associates III LP, assessed the effectiveness of the internal controls and procedures over financial reporting with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole, as of March 31, 2011. In making this assessment, the Fund's management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of March 31, 2011, its internal control over financial reporting with respect to each series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole was effective.
(c)
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Fund management's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Fund management's internal control over financial reporting.
