Item 1. Business
Organization
Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act as of June 1, 1988. Effective as of June 1, 2001, there was a restructuring and, as a result, the Partnership’s general partner was reorganized as follows. The general partner of the Partnership continues to be Boston Capital Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership. The general partner of the general partner is BCA Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a 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 Assignor Corp., a Delaware corporation which is now wholly-owned by John P. Manning.
The assignor limited partner was formed for the purpose of serving in that capacity for the Partnership 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 Partnership including rights to a percentage of the income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and distributions of the Partnership.
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 August 29, 1988 in connection with a public offering (together with each subsequent offering of BACs described herein, the "Offering") of Series 1 through 6. The Partnership raised $97,746,940 in six series representing a total of 9,800,600 BACs. The offering of BACs in all series ended on September 29, 1989.
Description of Business
The Partnership's principal business is to invest as a limited partner in other limited partnerships (the "Operating Partnerships"), each of which was to own or lease and operate an apartment complex exclusively or partially for low- and moderate-income tenants. Each Operating Partnership in which the Partnership has invested owns an apartment complex which is completed, newly-constructed, or newly-rehabilitated. Each apartment complex qualified 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 eleven years in the form of tax credits which investors may use to offset income, subject to strict limitations, from other sources. Some of the apartment complexes also qualified 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 (HUD), 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 Partnership has invested are receiving these 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 Partnership is unable to predict whether Congress will continue rent supplement programs payable directly to owners of apartment complexes.
At March 31, 2014, the Partnership had a limited partnership equity interest in one operating partnership which owns an operating apartment complex, which is in Series 3. A description of this Operating Partnership is set forth in Item 2 herein.
The business objectives of the Partnership are to:
(1) preserve and protect the Partnership's capital;
(2) provide current tax benefits to investors in the form of (a) Federal Housing Tax Credits and Rehabilitation Tax Credits, which an investor may apply, subject to strict limitations, against his federal income tax liability from active, portfolio and passive income, and (b) passive losses which an investor may apply to offset his passive income (if any);
(3) provide capital appreciation through increases in value of the Partnership's investments and, to the extent applicable, equity buildup through periodic payments on the mortgage indebtedness with respect to the Apartment Complexes; and
(4) provide cash distributions (except with respect to the Partnership's investment in certain non-profit Operating Partnerships) from a capital transaction as to the Partnership. 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 sales desirable and if sales are permitted by government restrictions.
Plan of Liquidation
On March 13, 2007, our General Partner recommended that the BAC holders approve a plan of liquidation and dissolution for the Partnership, or the “Plan.” The Plan was approved by the BAC holders on April 27, 2007, and was adopted by the General Partner on April 30, 2007. Pursuant to the Plan, the General Partner may, without further action by the BAC holders:
- liquidate the assets and wind up the business of the Partnership;
- make liquidating distributions in cancellation of the BACs;
- dissolve the Partnership after the sale of all of the Partnership's assets; and
- take, or cause the Partnership to take, such other acts and deeds and shall do, or cause the Partnership to do, such other things, as are necessary or appropriate in connection with the dissolution, winding up and liquidation of the Partnership, the termination of the responsibilities and liabilities of the Partnership under applicable law, and the termination of the existence of the Partnership.
Since the approval of the Plan by the BAC holders, we have continued to seek to sell the assets of the Partnership and use the sales proceeds and/or other Partnership funds to pay all expenses in connection with such sales, pay or make provision for payment of all Partnership obligations and liabilities, including accrued fees and unpaid loans to the General Partner, and distribute the remaining assets as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. We expected to complete the sale of the apartment complexes approximately three to four years after the BAC holders' approval of the Plan, which was April 27, 2007. However, the liquidation has taken longer than expected and the final liquidating distribution will occur months after all of the apartment complexes have been sold. Liquidation is not imminent, and as such, we have not prepared these financial statements under the liquidation basis of accounting.
A special allocation of net income (loss) between the assignees and general partner has been made due to the liquidation of assets and the wind up of the business of certain series.
For additional information regarding the sale of Partnership assets, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations " in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Employees
The Partnership 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 and their 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 Internal Revenue Service (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 BACs 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 local limited partnerships may be unable to sell the Operating Partnerships at a price which would 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 Partnership, 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 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, and upon the completion of the liquidation of a series, 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 certificates or liquidating distributions, is greater than the tax basis of their certificates. This realized taxable income is reduced to the extent that investors have suspended passive losses or credits. It is possible that the sale of certificates or liquidation may not generate enough cash to pay the tax obligations arising from the sale or liquidation.
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 Partnership, expenses such as accrued management fees and unpaid loans will be deducted pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of the Partnership 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 Partnership's working capital reserves are intended to be utilized to pay our existing and future liabilities.
Investors face uncertainty as to the amount or timing of any liquidating distributions.
Based on the most recent estimates, the remaining property in Series 3 is expected to be disposed of by September 30, 2014. However, due to numerous uncertainties, there is no guarantee that the Partnership will complete the liquidation by September 30, 2014 or that there will be sufficient proceeds to make any distributions to the BAC holders of Series 3.
Investors will continue to hold interests in the Partnership if the General Partner is unable to sell all of the apartment complexes.
The General Partner may not be able to sell all of the remaining apartment complexes and complete the liquidation, in which case the Partnership will not be liquidated and the Partnership will continue to hold interests in those apartment complexes that could not be sold. In this situation, investors would continue to receive a Schedule K-1 for their interest in the Partnership. In addition, any distributions available to the investors could be reduced or eliminated if the General Partner is not successful in selling all of the remaining apartment complexes.
There may be a delay in receiving certain benefits of any sales.
The Partnership Agreement authorizes us to utilize proceeds from the sales of apartment complexes to establish reserves for authorized Partnership purposes. We may reserve some of the remaining undistributed proceeds from the sale of apartment complexes for such purposes as reserves for unknown liabilities, audit costs, fees and tax return preparation.

Item 2.Properties
The Partnership has acquired a limited partnership interest the one Operating Partnership identified in the following tables. In each instance the apartment complexes owned by the applicable Operating Partnerships are 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". Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the respective apartment complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus, as supplemented, or applicable Report on Form 8-K. The general partner believes that there is adequate casualty insurance on the property.
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 Partnership.

Item 7.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including our intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, strategies and predictions of our future activities, or other future events or conditions. These statements are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by these acts. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including, for example, the factors identified in Part I, Item 1A of this Report. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.
Liquidity
The Partnership's primary source of funds was the proceeds from each Offering. Other sources of liquidity include (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment or held for working capital reserves and (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. These sources of liquidity are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership is currently accruing but not paying the annual partnership management fees, which allows each series the ability to pay non-affiliated third party obligations. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 the Partnership accrued $18,175 in annual partnership management fees. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 the Partnership paid $339,265 in partnership management fees. As of March 31, 2014, total partnership management fees accrued were $2,100,347. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, these liabilities will be deferred until the Partnership receives sales or refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships which will be used to satisfy these liabilities.
An affiliate of the general partner has advanced $473,634 to the Partnership to pay various third party operating expenses and to make advances and/or loans to Operating Partnerships. The amount advanced was $473,634 to Series 3. These and any additional advances will be paid, without interest, from available cash flow, reporting fees, or the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership's interests in Operating Partnerships. During the year ended March 31, 2014 there were no payments paid to the affiliates of the general partner. The Partnership anticipates that as the Operating Partnerships continue to mature, more cash flow and reporting fees will be generated. Cash flow and reporting fees will be added to the Partnership's working capital and will be available to meet future third party obligations of the Partnership. Although the Partnership is in liquidation, we have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated current and ongoing operational expenses other than amounts payable to the general partner and its affiliates for asset management fees and advances. Additionaly, we do not expect the general partner or its affiliates to demand payment of these amounts prior to the liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to its Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. The Partnership is currently pursuing, and will continue to pursue, available cash flow and reporting fees. No significant distributions of cash flow from the Operating Partnerships are anticipated on a long term or short term basis due to the restrictions on rents which apply to low-income apartment complexes.

Results of Operations
The Partnership incurs an annual partnership management fee payable to the general partner and/or its affiliates in an amount equal to 0.375% of the aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of various partnership management and reporting fees paid or payable by the Operating Partnerships. The annual partnership management fee incurred net of reporting fees for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $12,275 and $14,370, respectively. The amount is anticipated to be lower for subsequent fiscal years as more of the Operating Partnerships begin to pay accrued and annual partnership management and reporting fees. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Partnership received $5,900 and $16,195, respectively, in reporting fees from the Operating Partnerships.
The Partnership's investment objectives do not include receipt of significant cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested. The Partnership's investments in Operating Partnerships have been made principally with a view towards realization of Federal Housing Tax Credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.
The Operating Partnerships were allocated tax credits for 10 years. Based on each Operating Partnership's lease-up, the total credits could be spread over as many as 15 years. In cases where the actual number of years is more than 10, the credits delivered in the early and later years will be less than the maximum allowable per year. Series 1 and Series 4 completed their credit periods as of December 31, 2001. Series 3 and Series 6 completed their credit periods as of December 31, 2004. Series 2 and Series 5 completed their credit periods as of December 31, 2005.
(Series 1). The Series had a total of 0 properties at March 31, 2014.
For the tax years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Series, in total, generated $0 and $0, respectively, in passive tax income (losses) which were passed through to the investors. As of December 31, 2001 all of the Operating Partnerships in Series 1 had completed their respective credit periods and it is not expected that any additional tax credits will be generated.

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 Partnership 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 Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations. The Partnership believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements.
The Partnership is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which are primarily investments in limited partnerships. The Partnership accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Partnership 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 Partnership’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 Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership, the Partnership reduces its investment in the Operating Partnership.
In accordance with the accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Partnership 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 Partnership 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 Partnership’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 Partnership 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 Partnership’s balance in investment in Operating Partnerships represents its maximum exposure to loss. The Partnership’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 Partnership.

Item 9a.Controls & Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’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 Partnership’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 Partnership 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 Partnership as a whole, were adequate and effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to any series or the Partnership as a whole required to be included in the Partnership’s periodic SEC filings.
(b)Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Partnership 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 Partnership as a whole. The Partnership’s internal control system over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Partnership’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 Partnership's general partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Boston Capital Associates LP, assessed the effectiveness of the internal controls and procedures over financial reporting with respect to each series individually, as well as the Partnership as a whole, as of March 31, 2014. In making this assessment, the Partnership'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, 2014, its internal control over financial reporting with respect to each series individually, as well as the Partnership as a whole, was effective.
(c)Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Partnership management's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership management's internal control over financial reporting.
