PART I Item 1. Business Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. IV (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership formed on March 30, 1989 under the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Partnership's partnership agreement ("Partnership Agreement") authorized the sale of up to 100,000 units of Limited Partnership Interest ("Units") at $1,000 per Unit, adjusted for certain discounts. The Partnership raised $67,653,000 ("Gross Proceeds"), net of discounts of $390,000, through the sale of 68,043 Units. Such amounts exclude five unregistered Units previously acquired for $5,000 by the Initial Limited Partner, which is also one of the General Partners. The offering of Units terminated on January 31, 1990. No further sale of Units is expected. The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of real estate investment. Therefore, a presentation of information about industry segments is not applicable and would not be material to an understanding of the Partnership's business taken as a whole. The Partnership has invested as a limited partner in other limited partnerships ("Local Limited Partnerships") which own and operate residential apartment complexes ("Properties"), most of which benefit from some form of federal, state or local assistance programs and all of which qualify for the low-income housing tax credits ("Tax Credits") added to the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The investment objectives of the Partnership include the following: (i) to provide current tax benefits in the form of Tax Credits which qualified limited partners may use to offset their federal income tax liability; (ii) to preserve and protect the Partnership's capital; (iii) to provide limited cash distributions from Property operations which are not expected to constitute taxable income during the expected duration of the Partnership's operations; and (iv) to provide cash distributions from sale or refinancing transactions. There cannot be any assurance that the Partnership will attain any or all of these investment objectives. A more detailed discussion of these investment objectives, along with the risks in achieving them, is contained in the section of the prospectus entitled "Investment Objectives and Policies - Principal Investment Policies" which is herein incorporated by this reference. Table A on the following page lists the Properties originally acquired by the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. Item 6 of this Report contains other significant information with respect to such Local Limited Partnerships. As required by applicable rules, the terms of the acquisition of Local Limited Partnership interests have been described in supplements to the Prospectus and collected in three post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement (collectively, the "Acquisition Reports"); such descriptions are incorporated herein by this reference.

(1) The Partnership no longer has an interest in the Local Limited Partnership which owns this Property. Although the Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships are not subject to seasonal fluctuations, the Partnership's equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships, to the extent they reflect the operations of individual Properties, may vary from quarter to quarter based upon changes in occupancy and operating expenses as a result of seasonal factors. With the exception of Leawood Manor, each Local Limited Partnership has as its general partners ("Local General Partners") one or more individuals or entities not affiliated with the Partnership or its General Partners. In accordance with the partnership agreements under which such entities are organized ("Local Limited Partnership Agreements"), the Partnership depends on the Local General Partners for the management of each Local Limited Partnership. As of March 31, 2006, the following Local Limited Partnerships have a common Local General Partner or affiliated group of Local General Partners accounting for the specified percentage of the capital contributions to Local Limited Partnerships: Sencit Towne House L.P., Allentown Towne House, L.P. and Prince Street Towers L.P., representing 17.41%, have AIMCO Properties as Local General Partner. The Local General Partners of the remaining Local Limited Partnerships are identified in the Acquisition Reports, which are incorporated herein by reference. The Properties owned by Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested are and will continue to be subject to competition from existing and future apartment complexes in the same areas. The continued success of the Partnership will depend on many outside factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Partnership and which cannot be predicted at this time. Such factors include general economic and real estate market conditions, both on a national basis and in those areas where the Properties are located, the availability and cost of borrowed funds, real estate tax rates, operating expenses, energy costs and government regulations. In addition, other risks inherent in real estate investment may influence the ultimate success of the Partnership, including: (i) possible reduction in rental income due to an inability to maintain high occupancy levels or adequate rental levels; (ii) possible adverse changes in general economic conditions and adverse local conditions, such as competitive overbuilding, a decrease in employment or adverse changes in real estate laws, including building codes; and (iii) the possible future adoption of rent control legislation which would not permit increased costs to be passed on to the tenants in the form of rent increases or which would suppress the ability of the Local Limited Partnerships to generate operating cash flow. Since most of the Properties benefit from some form of government assistance, the Partnership is subject to the risks inherent in that area including decreased subsidies, difficulties in finding suitable tenants and obtaining permission for rent increases. In addition, any Tax Credits allocated to investors with respect to a Property are subject to recapture to the extent that the Property or any portion thereof ceases to qualify for the Tax Credits. Other future changes in federal and state income tax laws affecting real estate ownership or limited partnerships could have a material and adverse affect on the business of the Partnership. The Partnership is managed by Arch Street VIII, Inc., the Managing General Partner of the Partnership. The other General Partner of the Partnership is Arch Street IV Limited Partnership. The Partnership, which does not have any employees, reimburses MMA Financial, Inc. ("MMA"), an affiliate of the General Partners, for certain expenses and overhead costs. A complete discussion of the management of the Partnership is set forth in Item 9 of this Report. Item 2. Properties The Partnership owns limited partnership interests in ten Local Limited Partnerships which own and operate Properties, some of which benefit from some form of federal, state or local assistance programs and all of which qualify for the Tax Credits added to the Code by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The Partnership's ownership interest in each Local Limited Partnership is 99% with the exception of Leawood Manor, which is 89%. Each of the Local Limited Partnerships has received an allocation of Tax Credits by its relevant state tax credit agency. In general, the Tax Credits run for ten years from the date the Property is placed in service. The required holding period (the "Compliance Period") of the Properties is fifteen years. During these fifteen years, the Properties must satisfy rent restrictions, tenant income limitations and other requirements, as promulgated by the Code, in order to maintain eligibility for the Tax Credits at all times during the Compliance Period. Once a Local Limited Partnership has become eligible for the Tax Credits, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an event of recapture if its Property fails to remain in compliance with the requirements. To date, with the exception of Bentley Court, none of the Local Limited Partnerships have suffered an event of recapture of Tax Credits. In addition, some of the Local Limited Partnerships have obtained one or a combination of different types of loans such as: i) below market rate interest loans; ii) loans provided by a redevelopment agency of the town or city in which the Property is located at favorable terms; or iii) loans that have repayment terms that are based on a percentage of cash flow. The schedule on the following pages provides certain key information on the Local Limited Partnership interests acquired by the Partnership.

* FmHA This subsidy, which is authorized under Section 515 of the Housing Act of 1949, can be one or a combination of different types of financing. For instance, FmHA may provide: 1) direct below-market-rate mortgage loans for rural rental housing; 2) mortgage interest subsidies which effectively lower the interest rate of the loan to 1%; 3) a rental assistance subsidy to tenants which allows them to pay no more than 30% of their monthly income as rent with the balance paid by the federal government; or 4) a combination of any of the above. Section 8 This subsidy, which is authorized under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, allows qualified low-income tenants to pay 30% of their monthly income as rent with the balance paid by the federal government. Also includes comparable state subsidies. (1) The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited Partnership. K-28 Duration of leases for occupancy in the Properties described above is generally six to twelve months. The Managing General Partner believes the Properties described herein are adequately covered by insurance. Additional information required under this Item, as it pertains to the Partnership, is contained in Items 1, 6 and 7 of this Report. Item 3. Legal Proceedings On or about July 13, 2004, Park G.P., Inc. ("Park") commenced litigation against the Partnership and its purported general partners (collectively, the "Defendants") in Clay County, Missouri, claiming that the Defendants breached the Partnership Agreement and their fiduciary duties owed to Park by, among other things, failing to permit inspection of certain alleged "books and records" of the Partnership. On or about October 7, 2004, Park sought leave of the court to amend its Petition to include claims for inspection of the alleged "books and records" against Boston Financial Qualified Housing Limited Partnership, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. II, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. III, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. V, Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund Plus, A Limited Partnership, Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund VII, A Limited Partnership, and their purported general partners (collectively, the "New Defendants"). On or about October 8, 2004, Park moved the court for entry of a temporary restraining order compelling the Defendants and the New Defendants to turn over the alleged "books and records" in conjunction with a transaction Park was proposing entering into. On October 12, 2004, the court denied Park's request for a temporary restraining order, and on November 15, 2004 it granted the request to amend the Petition. In October, 2005, Park again sought leave of the court in the Missouri action to amend its Petition, claiming that the Defendants were in violation of the Partnership Agreement by disposing of interests in Local Limited Partnerships following expiration of the Compliance Period(s) without first obtaining Limited Partner consent. On or about October 11, 2005, Park moved the court for a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Defendants from entering into any agreement to sell, transfer, or otherwise convey any interest in Local Limited Partnerships. On October 14, 2005, the court denied Park's request for a temporary restraining order. In December 2005, the court granted Park's request to amend its Petition to include the alleged claim regarding disposition of Local Limited Partnership interests. The New Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. That motion is pending. If the motion to dismiss is denied, a trial is scheduled for this matter on October 16, 2006, although it is possible that a portion of the case may be heard and resolved at an earlier date. The Defendants and the New Defendants maintain that Park is not entitled to review the materials requested and/or use the materials in secondary market transactions because, among other things; (i) they are not "books and records" of the partnerships; (ii) Park does not seek to review them for a proper purpose; and (iii) selective disclosure of the information to Park would give it an unfair informational advantage in secondary market transactions and may violate federal and/or state securities laws. Likewise, the Defendants maintain that the Partnership may continue to periodically dispose of interests in Local Limited Partnerships because, among other things, the dispositions do not constitute the sale "at one time" of "all or substantially all of the assets of the partnership" pursuant to Section 5.4.2 of the Partnership Agreement. Therefore, the Defendants and New Defendants accordingly intend on defending against the claims vigorously. The court has scheduled an evidentiary hearing for May 31, 2006 with respect to Park's "books and records" claims against the Defendants and the New Defendants. Discovery is ongoing with respect to the alleged claim against the Defendants regarding disposition of the Local Limited Partnership interests. The Defendants and New Defendants have not formed an opinion that an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote, and their counsel refrains from expressing an opinion as to the likely outcome of the case or the range of any loss. On August 24, 2004, the Partnership, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Limited Partnership, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. II, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. III, Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. V, Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund Plus, A Limited Partnership, Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund VII, A Limited Partnership, and Boston Financial Tax Credit Fund VIII, A Limited Partnership (collectively, the "Partnerships"), and their general partners commenced litigation against Everest Housing Investors 2, LLC ("Everest 2") and several other Everest-related entities (collectively, the "Everest Entities") in Massachusetts state court, seeking a declaratory judgment that certain materials the Everest Entities sought to inspect are not "books and records" of the Partnerships and that the Everest Entities are in any case not entitled to inspect said information under applicable partnership agreements, partnership law or otherwise. On October 7, 2004, the Everest Entities filed an answer and counterclaim against the Partnerships and their purported general partners, claiming that they breached applicable partnership agreements, partnership law and their fiduciary duties to the Everest Entities by failing to make the purported "books and records" available. On January 12, 2005, the Partnerships moved to amend their complaint to, among other things, add a claim based on Everest 2's breach of a November 24, 2003 letter agreement which compelled Everest 2 to keep confidential certain information contemporaneously disseminated by four of the Partnerships to Everest 2. The Court granted this Motion. Discovery in the matter is ongoing. The Partnerships maintain that the Everest Entities are not entitled to review the materials requested and/or use the materials in secondary market transactions because, among other things; (i) they are not "books and records" of the Partnerships; (ii) the Everest Entities do not seek to review them for a proper purpose; and (iii) selective disclosure of the information to the Everest Entities would give them an unfair informational advantage in secondary market transactions and may violate federal and/or state securities laws. The Partnerships have not formed an opinion that an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote, and their counsel refrains from expressing an opinion as to the likely outcome of the case or the range of any loss. On October 27, 2005, Bond Purchase, L.L.C. ("Bond"), an entity affiliated with Park, commenced litigation in the District Court for Johnson County, Kansas against the Partnership and its purported general partners, claiming, among other things, that: (i) section 5.4.2 of the Partnership Agreement prohibited the defendants from engaging in their alleged plan to dispose of interests in Local Limited Partnerships; (ii) the defendants violated the Partnership Agreement by failing to submit Bond's request to amend the Partnership Agreement to the Partnership's Limited Partners for a vote, instead calling a meeting; (iii) the defendants breached the Partnership Agreement by, among other things, failing to permit inspection of certain alleged "books and records" of the Partnership; and (iv) the defendants violated their fiduciary duties to Bond. On January 6, 2006, Bond filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss its lawsuit without prejudice. On April 3, 2006, the court dismissed the lawsuit. On or about October 3, 2005, the Partnership and its General Partners commenced litigation against Park in Suffolk Superior Court, Massachusetts and requested the Court to issue a declaration that the Partnership and its General Partners were not in violation of section 5.4.2 of the Partnership Agreement by virtue of its periodic disposition of interests in Local Limited Partnerships following expiration of the Compliance Period(s). In November, 2005, the plaintiffs amended the complaint to include Bond as a defendant and to claim: (i) that the plaintiffs need not furnish the purported "books and records" of the Partnership requested by Bond, since, among other things, Bond's request is clearly designed to elicit information concerning the assets and operations of the Local Limited Partnerships; and (ii) that Park and Bond intentionally and improperly took action to undermine the sale of Leawood Manor, resulting in the withdrawal of the highest bid and depriving the Partnership of an economic opportunity. On December 19, 2005, Park and Bond served a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The plaintiffs opposed that motion to dismiss, and a hearing on that motion took place on June 1, 2006. The motion is pending with the court. The plaintiffs also likely will be serving a motion for summary judgment seeking to obtain a declaration from the Court that (i) the plaintiffs are not acting in violation of the Partnership Agreement by periodically disposing of interests in Local Limited Partnerships without Limited Partner consent and (ii) Bond is not entitled to access to the purported "books and records" that it has requested. As previously reported, an IRS audit of the 1993 tax return for the Bentley Court II Limited Partnership questioned the treatment of certain items and had findings of non-compliance in 1993. The IRS then expanded the scope of the audit to include the 1994 and 1995 tax returns. As a result, the IRS disallowed the Property's Tax Credits for each of these years. On behalf of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner retained counsel to appeal the IRS's findings in order to minimize the loss of Tax Credits. This administrative appeal has been unsuccessful and the IRS has not retracted its position of disallowing Tax Credits for 1993, 1994 and 1995, a total of $2,562,173, plus accrued interest of approximately $2,797,008, or approximately $78 per Unit. Based on advice of tax counsel, the Managing General Partner determined to concede the disallowance of Tax Credits for those three years. In addition, the Local General Partner received notification that the IRS was expanding its claims to recapturing $502,472 of Tax Credits taken in 1990, 1991 and 1992, plus accrued interest of $743,909, or approximately $19 per Unit. Based on advice tax counsel, the Managing General Partner determined to challenge the IRS' findings with respect to this $502,472 of recapture, and a trial was held on this issue in November 2005. Very recently, the Tax Court ruled against the Partnership. The Managing General Partner is unlikely to appeal this decision. It is possible that the IRS will further expand its claims for additional amounts with respect to other years. However, counsel has advised that the statute of limitations has expired for the tax years 1996, 1997 and 1998. The Managing General Partner is currently considering its options including a possible settlement with the IRS. A Partnership level settlement is complicated, however, because a portion of the Limited Partner ownership has changed since the tax years in question as a result of Unit transfers; in other words, not all current Unit holders are subject to the tax liabilities associated with Bentley Court (the disallowance of the 1993, 1994 and 1995 Tax Credits applies only to the Limited Partners of the Partnership that claimed Tax Credits for those years and the recapture applies to all current Limited Partners of the Partnership). The Managing General Partner will study this issue to determine whether a full or partial Partnership level settlement is appropriate. The issue may be moot because, to date, the IRS has not expressed any interest in such a settlement. Absent a settlement, it is anticipated that the IRS will contact Limited Partners directly for any adjustments that need to be made to returns for those years. Given that the Tax Court has ruled with respect to 1990, 1991 and 1992 recapture, the Managing General Partner anticipates that such assessments could occur later this year or early in 2007. Except as noted above, the Partnership is not a party to any other pending legal or administrative proceeding, and to the best of its knowledge, no legal or administrative proceeding is threatened or contemplated against it. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders ------------------------------------------------------------ None. PART II Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Units and Related Security Holder Matters There is no public market for the Units, and it is not expected that a public market will develop. If a Limited Partner desires to sell Units, the buyer of those Units will be required to comply with the minimum purchase and retention requirements and investor suitability standards imposed by applicable federal or state securities laws and the minimum purchase and retention requirements imposed by the Partnership. The price to be paid for the Units, as well as the commissions to be received by any participating broker-dealers, will be subject to negotiation by the Limited Partner seeking to sell his Units. Units will not be redeemed or repurchased by the Partnership. The Partnership Agreement does not impose on the Partnership or its General Partners any obligation to obtain periodic appraisals of assets or to provide Limited Partners with any estimates of the current value of Units. As of March 31, 2006, there were 3,045 record holders of Units of the Partnership. Cash distributions, when made, are paid annually. No cash distributions were paid for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Certain matters discussed herein constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Partnership intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements and are including this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Although the Partnership believes the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Partnership can give no assurance that their expectations will be attained. Actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, general economic and real estate conditions and interest rates. Executive Level Overview The Partnership was formed on March 30, 1989 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the primary purpose of investing, as a limited partner, in Local Limited Partnerships which own and operate apartment complexes, most of which benefit from some form of federal, state or local assistance program and each of which qualifies for low-income housing tax credits. The Partnership's objectives are to: (i) provide current tax benefits in the form of tax credits which qualified investors may use to offset their federal income tax liability; (ii) preserve and protect the Partnership's capital; (iii) provide limited cash distributions which are not expected to constitute taxable income during Partnership operations; and iv) provide cash distributions from sale or refinancing transactions. The General Partners of the Partnership are Arch Street VIII, Inc., which serves as the Managing General Partner, and Arch Street IV L.P., which also serves as the Initial Limited Partner. Both of the General Partners are affiliates of MMA. The fiscal year of the Partnership ends on March 31. As of March 31, 2006, the Partnership's investment portfolio consisted of limited partnership interests in ten Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns and operates a multi-family apartment complex and each of which has generated Tax Credits. Since inception, the Partnership generated has Tax Credits, net of recapture, of approximately $1,287 per Limited Partner Unit. The aggregate amount of Tax Credits generated by the Partnership was consistent with the objective specified in the Partnership's prospectus. Properties that receive low income housing Tax Credits must remain in compliance with rent restriction and set-aside requirements for at least 15 calendar years from the date the property is placed in service. Failure to do so would result in recapture of a portion of the property's Tax Credits. The Compliance Periods of the ten remaining Properties in which the Partnership has an interest either have already expired or will expire by December 31, 2006. The Managing General Partner has negotiated agreements that will ultimately allow the Partnership to dispose of its interest in one Local Limited Partnership. It is unlikely that the disposition of this Local Limited Partnership interest will generate a material cash distribution to the Partnership. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership's interests in five Local Limited Partnerships were sold. The Managing General Partner will continue to closely monitor the operations of the Properties during the Compliance Periods and will formulate disposition strategies with respect to the Partnership's remaining Local Limited Partnership interests. The Partnership shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up upon the disposition of the final Local Limited Partnership interest and other assets of the Partnership. Investors will continue to be Limited Partners, receiving K-1s and quarterly and annual reports, until the Partnership is dissolved. Critical Accounting Policies The Partnership's accounting policies include those that relate to its recognition of investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting. The Partnership's policy is as follows: The Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership invests are Variable Interest Entities ("VIE"s). The Partnership is involved with the VIEs as a non-controlling limited partner equity holder. Because the Partnership is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, it accounts for its investments in the Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting. As a result of its involvement with the VIEs, the Partnership's exposure to economic and financial statement losses is limited to its investments in the VIEs ($4,355,556 at March 31, 2006). The Partnership may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that the Partnership voluntarily provides in the future. Under the equity method, a Local Limited Partnership investment will not be carried below zero. To the extent that equity in losses are incurred when the Partnership's carrying value of the respective Local Limited Partnership has been reduced to a zero balance, the losses will be suspended and offset against future income. Income from Local Limited Partnerships, where cumulative equity in losses plus cumulative distributions have exceeded the total investment in Local Limited Partnerships, will not be recorded until all of the related unrecorded losses have been offset. To the extent that a Local Limited Partnership with a carrying value of zero distributes cash to the Partnership, that distribution is recorded as income on the books of the Partnership and is included in "other revenue" in the accompanying financial statements. The Partnership has implemented policies and practices for assessing other-than-temporary declines in values of its investments in Local Limited Partnerships. Periodically, the carrying values of the investments are compared to their respective fair values. If an other-than-temporary decline in carrying value exists, a provision to reduce the asset to fair value, as calculated based primarily on remaining tax benefits, will be recorded in the Partnership's financial statements. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership concluded that two of the Local Limited Partnerships had experienced other-than-temporary declines in their carrying value and impairment losses were recorded: Prince Street Towers L.P., for approximately $250,000 and Sencit Towne House L.P. for approximately $1,020,000. During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Partnership concluded that two of the Local Limited Partnerships had experienced other-than-temporary declines in their carrying values and impairment losses were recorded: Oakview Square Limited Partnership, for approximately $828,000 and Carolina Woods Associates, L.P. for approximately $350,000. Generally, the carrying values of most Local Limited Partnerships will decline through losses and distributions in amounts sufficient to prevent other-than-temporary impairments. However, the Partnership may record similar impairment losses in the future if the expiration of tax credits outpaces losses and distributions from any of the Local Limited Partnerships. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2006, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $1,884,202 as compared to $4,476,203 at March 31, 2005. The decrease is mainly attributable to the purchases of investment securities, advances to Local Limited Partnerships and cash used for operations. These increases are partially offset by proceeds from maturities of investment securities, cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships and proceeds received from sale of investments in Local Limited Partnerships. Cash used for operations includes $138,173 paid to the Managing General Partner for accrued asset management fees. The Managing General Partner originally designated 4.00% of the Gross Proceeds as Reserves, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The Reserves were established to be used for working capital of the Partnership and contingencies related to the ownership of Local Limited Partnership interests. The Managing General Partner may increase or decrease such Reserves from time to time, as it deems appropriate. At March 31, 2006, $4,110,395 of cash, cash equivalents and investment securities has been designated as Reserves. To date, professional fees relating to various Property issues totaling approximately $1,515,000 have been paid from Reserves. To date, Reserve funds in the amount of approximately $304,000 also have been used to make additional capital contributions to one Local Limited Partnership. In the event a Local Limited Partnership encounters operating difficulties requiring additional funds, the Partnership's management might deem it in its best interest to voluntarily provide such funds in order to protect its investment. As of March 31, 2006, the Partnership has advanced approximately $1,572,000 to Local Limited Partnerships to fund operating deficits. The Managing General Partner believes that the investment income earned on the Reserves, along with cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships, to the extent available, will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's ongoing operations. Reserves may be used to fund Partnership operating deficits, if the Managing General Partner deems funding appropriate. If Reserves are not adequate to cover the Partnership's operations, the Partnership will seek other financing sources including, but not limited to, the deferral of Asset Management Fees paid to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner or working with Local Limited Partnerships to increase cash distributions. To date, the Partnership has used approximately $4,781,000 of operating funds to replenish Reserves. Since the Partnership invests as a limited partner, the Partnership has no contractual duty to provide additional funds to Local Limited Partnerships beyond its specified investment. Thus, as of March 31, 2006, the Partnership had no contractual or other obligation to any Local Limited Partnership which had not been paid or provided for. Cash Distributions No cash distributions were made to Limited Partners in the two years ended March 31, 2006. The Partnership is currently working on disposing of its interest in certain Local Limited Partnerships during the next twelve months. These dispositions may result in cash available for distribution, but due to the uncertainty of the sales, no guarantees can be made as to the extent of their outcome on distributions to Limited Partners. Based on the results of 2005 Property operations, the Local Limited Partnerships are not expected to distribute significant amounts of cash to the Partnership because such amounts will be needed to fund Property operating costs. In addition, many of the Properties benefit from some type of federal or state subsidy and, as a consequence, are subject to restrictions on cash distributions. Results of Operations The Partnership's results of operations for year ended March 31, 2006 resulted in a net loss of $2,224,013 as compared to a net loss of $1,384,566 for the same period in 2005. The increase in loss is primarily attributable to a decrease in other revenue, an increase in general and administrative expenses, an increase in provision for valuation allowance on advances to Local Limited Partnerships and an increase in provision for valuation allowance on investments in Local Limited Partnerships. These effects were partially offset by a decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships, an increase in gain on sale of investments in Local Limited Partnerships, an increase in investment revenue and a decrease in asset management fees. The decrease in other revenue is due to a decrease in distributions from Local Limited Partnerships with carrying values of zero. General and administrative costs increased due to increased legal expenses associated with litigation in which the Partnership is currently involved, increased consulting costs related to efforts to sell the Partnership's interest in investments in certain Local Limited Partnerships and increased expenses associated with auditing the Partnership's financial statements. These increases in general and administrative expenses were partially offset by a decrease in charges due to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner for operational and administrative expenses necessary for the operations of the Partnership. The increase in provision for valuation allowance on advances to Local Limited Partnerships is the result of an increase in advances made to Local Limited Partnerships in 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005. Provision for valuation allowance on investments in Local Limited Partnerships increased due to the Partnership recording greater impairment allowance for its investments in certain Local Limited Partnerships between 2006 and 2005. The decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships is primarily due an increase in unrecognized losses by the Partnership of Local Limited Partnerships with carrying values of zero. The increase in gain on sale of investments in Local Limited Partnerships is due to the sale of five Local Limited Partnerships during the current year. The increase in investment revenue is primarily attributable to the Partnership investing in more lucrative securities. The decrease in asset management fees is due to the Partnership's sale of interest in seven Local Limited Partnerships during the year ended March 31, 2005; since asset management fees are charged per Local Limited Partnership, the previous year's sale reduced the current year's charges. Low-Income Housing Tax Credits The 2005 and 2004 Tax Credits per Unit for individual investors were $0.00 and $0.19, respectively. The Tax Credits per Limited Partner stabilized in 1992. The credits have ended as all of the Properties have reached the end of the ten year credit period. Property Discussions Most of the Properties in which the Partnership has an interest have stabilized operations and operate above breakeven. Some Properties generate cash flow deficits that the Local General Partners of those Properties fund through project expense loans, subordinated loans or operating escrows. However, a few Properties have had persistent operating difficulties that could either: i) have an adverse impact on the Partnership's liquidity; ii) result in their foreclosure; or iii) result in the Managing General Partner deeming it appropriate for the Partnership to dispose of its interest in the Local Limited Partnership prior to the expiration of the Compliance Period. Also, the Managing General Partner, in the normal course of the Partnership's business, may arrange for the future disposition of its interest in certain Local Limited Partnerships. The following Property discussions focus only on such Properties. As previously reported, the Managing General Partner negotiated an agreement with an unaffiliated entity to have the ability to transfer its interest to the unaffiliated entity or its designee with respect to the following Local Limited Partnerships: Orocovix IV, located in Orocovix, Puerto Rico, Canfield Crossing, located in Milan, Michigan, Orchard View, located in Gobles, Michigan and Whitehills II, located in Howell, Michigan. Although these Properties did not share a common Local General Partner, they were all Rural Housing Section 515 ("FMHA") properties. The Managing General Partner had the right to put its interest in any of the Local Limited Partnerships at any time in exchange for a contingent note that granted the Partnership 50% of all future net cash receipts from such Local Limited Partnership interest. If the Partnership disposed of its interest in the above-mentioned Properties in any other manner, the Partnership would have been required to pay a $2,500 termination fee, per Property, to the unaffiliated entity. Effective January 1, 2005, the Managing General Partner transferred the Partnership's interest in Orocovix IV to the Local General Partner in exchange for a contingent note that granted the Partnership 50% of all future net cash receipts from such Local Limited Partnership interest. Since the transfer was not to the unaffiliated entity, the Partnership was required to pay $2,500 to the unaffiliated party. This sale resulted in 2005 taxable income of $251,544, or $3.70 per Unit. In addition, effective January 1, 2005, the Managing General Partner transferred the Partnership's interest in Canfield Crossing and Whitehills II to the unaffiliated entity. The Partnership received $4,166 in exchange for the sale of the contingent notes that were created in conjunction with put options entered into with the previously mentioned unaffiliated third party. These two sales resulted in 2005 taxable income of $663,002, or $9.74 per Unit. Effective January 1, 2006, the Partnership put its interest in Orchard View to the unaffiliated entity for approximately $2,100 in lieu of the Partnership carrying a remaining interest in the form of a contingent note. This transfer will result in 2006 taxable income of approximately $299,000, or $4 per Unit. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net proceeds from these sales in Reserves. The Managing General Partner determined the values in these Properties to be less than their outstanding debt, and therefore the sale of the Partnership's interests in these Properties, for nominal amounts was deemed to be in the best interest of the Partnership. The Compliance Periods ended on December 31, 2004 for Orocovix IV, Canfield Crossing and Whitehills II and ended on December 31, 2005 for Orchard View. The Partnership no longer has an interest in these four Properties. As previously reported, Willow Ridge, located in Prescott, Arizona, experienced operating difficulties during 2003 and 2004. Despite relatively strong occupancy, the Property operated below break-even during 2003 and the Local Limited Partnership did not make any debt service payments in 2004. The Property generated all of its Tax Credits by 2001, and its Compliance Period expired on December 31, 2004. In order to minimize the Partnership's risk, the Managing General Partner agreed to allow an unaffiliated entity to be admitted as a co-Local General Partner. This admittance required the approval of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, ("HUD") which was received in October 2004. The co-Local General Partner was required to cure the mortgage arrearages. In addition, the Partnership received the right to put its interest in the Property at any time after December 31, 2004 in exchange for a contingent note that granted the Partnership 50% of all future net cash receipts from such Local Limited Partnership interest. Effective January 1, 2005, the Partnership's interest was transferred to the unaffiliated party. This sale resulted in a 2005 taxable loss of $22,111, or $0.33 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Property. As previously reported, the Local General Partner of Hampton Lane, located in Buena Vista, Georgia, expressed to the Managing General Partner some concerns over the long-term financial health of this Property. In response to these concerns and to reduce possible future risk, the Managing General Partner entered into a put agreement with the Local General Partner in which the Partnership had the right to ultimately transfer ownership of the Local Limited Partnership to the Local General Partner for a nominal price after the expiration of the Compliance Period. The plan included provisions to minimize the risk of recapture. The Property had generated all of its total Tax Credits and the Compliance Period expired on December 31, 2004. Effective January 1, 2005, the Managing General Partner exercised the put agreement for Hampton Lane, and the transfer of the Partnership's interest in Hampton Lane to the Local General Partner was consummated. The Partnership received $3,000 for its interest. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net proceeds in Reserves. This sale resulted in 2005 taxable income of $270,789, or $3.98 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Property. As previously reported, Lincoln Green, located in Old Towne, Maine, had experienced operating deficits from 2002 through 2004. The Property reached the end of its Compliance Period on December 31, 2004. The Managing General Partner determined that there was no likelihood of any significant cash distributable to the Partnership from a sale of the Property. As a result, the Managing General Partner agreed to sell the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership to the Local General Partner for $30,000. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net proceeds in Reserves. Effective January 31, 2005, the sale was consummated that resulted in 2005 taxable income of $652,112, or $9.58 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Property. As previously reported, the Local General Partner of Green Tree Village, located in Greenville, Georgia, expressed to the Managing General Partner some concerns over the long-term financial health of the Property. In response to these concerns and to reduce possible future risk, the Managing General Partner entered into a put agreement with the Local General Partner in which the Partnership has the right to ultimately transfer ownership of the Local Limited Partnership to the Local General Partner for a nominal price after the expiration of the Compliance Period. Effective January 1, 2006, the Managing General Partner, under a prior agreement, transferred its interest in the Local Limited Partnership to the Local General Partner for $4,000, or $0.06 per Unit. This transfer was consummated with the receipt of these proceeds in April 2006. This transfer is projected to result in 2006 taxable income of approximately $207,000, or $3 per Unit. The Property has generated all of its Tax Credits and the Compliance Period ended on December 31, 2005. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited Partnership. As previously reported, an IRS audit of the 1993 tax return for the Bentley Court II Limited Partnership questioned the treatment of certain items and had findings of non-compliance in 1993. The IRS then expanded the scope of the audit to include the 1994 and 1995 tax returns. As a result, the IRS disallowed the Property's Tax Credits for each of these years. On behalf of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner retained counsel to appeal the IRS's findings in order to minimize the loss of Tax Credits. This administrative appeal has been unsuccessful and the IRS has not retracted its position of disallowing Tax Credits for 1993, 1994 and 1995, a total of $2,562,173, plus accrued interest of approximately $2,797,008, or approximately $78 per Unit. Based on advice of tax counsel, the Managing General Partner determined to concede the disallowance of Tax Credits for those three years. In addition, the Local General Partner received notification that the IRS was expanding its claims to recapturing $502,472 of Tax Credits deducted in 1990, 1991 and 1992, plus accrued interest of $743,909, or approximately $19 per Unit. Based on advice tax counsel, the Managing General Partner determined to challenge the IRS' findings with respect to this $502,472 of recapture, and a trial was held on this issue in November 2005. Very recently, the Tax Court ruled against the Partnership. The Managing General Partner is unlikely to appeal this decision. It is possible that the IRS will further expand its claims for additional amounts with respect to other years. However, counsel has advised that the statute of limitations expired for the tax years 1996, 1997 and 1998. The Managing General Partner is currently considering its options including a possible settlement with the IRS. A Partnership level settlement could raise certain complications because a portion of the Limited Partner ownership has changed since the tax years in question as a result of Unit transfers; in other words, not all current Unit holders are subject to the tax liabilities associated with Bentley Court (the disallowance of the 1993, 1994 and 1995 Tax Credits applies only to the Limited Partners of the Partnership that claimed Tax Credits for those years and the recapture applies to all current Limited Partners of the Partnership). The Managing General Partner will study this issue to determine whether a full or partial Partnership level settlement is appropriate. The issue may be moot because, to date, the IRS has not expressed any interest in such a settlement. Absent a settlement, it is anticipated that the IRS will contact Limited Partners directly for any adjustments that need to be made to returns for those years. Given that the Tax Court has ruled with respect to 1990, 1991 and 1992 recapture, the Managing General Partner anticipates that such assessments could occur later this year or early in 2007. Subject to the considerations stated above, it is possible that the Managing General Partner may decide to use additional Partnership Reserves or sell Bentley Court to generate proceeds that may be used in connection with the tax liabilities described above. As previously reported, in February 1997, due to concerns about the Property's long-term viability, the Managing General Partner consummated a transfer of 50% of the Partnership's interest in capital and profits of BK Apartments, located in Jamestowne, North Dakota, to the Local General Partner. The Property generated its final year of Tax Credits in 2001, and the Partnership retained its full share of the Property's Tax Credits through such time period. The Local General Partner subsequently transferred its general partner interest to a new, nonprofit general partner. The Managing General Partner exercised its right to put the Partnership's remaining interest to the new Local General Partner, effective February 24, 2006. This transfer is projected to result in 2006 taxable income of approximately $140,000, or $2 per Unit. The Compliance Period expired on December 31, 2005. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited Partnership. As previously reported, although the neighborhood in which 46th & Vincennes is located (Chicago, Illinois) has improved in the last few years, potential tenants are reluctant to occupy the Property due to its location and curb appeal. As a result, maintaining occupancy, and therefore revenues, continues to be an issue. Although occupancy has stabilized, debt service coverage and working capital were well below appropriate levels as of December 31, 2005. A site visit by the Managing General Partner in October 2005 found the Property in need of some improvements. Even though advances from the Local General Partner have enabled the Property to remain current on its loan obligations, the Managing General Partner believes that the Local General Partner and its affiliated management company are not adequately performing their responsibilities with respect to the Property. The Managing General Partner has expressed these concerns to the Local General Partner and will continue to closely monitor the Property's operations. The Managing General Partner and Local General Partner have begun to explore an exit strategy that will allow for the Partnership's disposition of its interest in this Local Limited Partnership. The Property's Compliance Period ended on December 31, 2005. As previously reported, during 1994 the Local General Partner of Dorsett Apartments, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, transferred its interest in the Local Limited Partnership. The IRS subsequently conducted a compliance audit of the Property and took the position that the Property is subject to recapture due to non-compliance issues. The Managing General Partner disagrees with the IRS. In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, there is a risk that the Property and the Partnership could suffer significant Tax Credit recapture. However, it is not possible to quantify the potential amount at this time. Further, the Property suffered from poor location and security issues. Vandalism caused an increase in maintenance and repair expenses and negatively affected the Property's occupancy levels and tenant profile, causing debt service coverage and working capital to drop below appropriate levels. In 2003, the Managing General Partner and the Local General Partner began to pursue disposition options of the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership. On September 21, 2004, the Property was sold. The Partnership received $25,000 in sales proceeds in December 2004 and received an additional $50,000 in February 2005. The Partnership continued to have an interest in this Local Limited Partnership until January 1, 2005, at which time the Property's Compliance Period expired, and the Partnership's interest was fully transferred. The sale, in the aggregate, resulted in taxable income of $224,831, or $3.30 per Unit. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net proceeds in Reserves. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited Partnership. As previously reported, the Managing General Partner negotiated an agreement to transfer the Local General Partner interest in West Pine, located in Findlay, Pennsylvania, to an affiliate of the Allegheny County Housing Authority ("ACHA"), contingent upon receiving approval from the HUD. HUD approval was received, and the Local General Partner interest was transferred on October 17, 2003. In addition, the ACHA had informed the Managing General Partner of its interest in acquiring the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership, pending their assumption of the Local General Partner interest. Concurrent with the replacement of the Local General Partner, another ACHA affiliate acquired 30% of the Partnership's limited partner interest in the Local Limited Partnership. As part of this transaction, the Partnership acquired a put option for the remaining 70% exercisable for $1 upon the expiration of the Compliance Period on December 31, 2006. West Pine generated its final year of Tax Credits in 2001. As previously reported, Carolina Woods, located in Greensboro, North Carolina, had experienced decreasing occupancy since early 2003. The Local General Partner replaced its own management agent affiliate with a third party local management agent that, in an effort to increase occupancy, evicted several tenants for non-payment. Throughout the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 occupancy was 92%. Although revenues, debt service coverage and working capital levels remained favorable, the Property, due to high operating costs, continued to operate at a below breakeven level as of December 31, 2005. The Local General Partner had advanced funds as necessary to ensure the Property remain current on its debt service obligations. The Property's Compliance Period expired on December 31, 2004 and therefore posed minimal risk to the Partnership. The Managing General Partner anticipated that the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership would be transferred upon the sale of the Property to an unaffiliated entity during the first half of 2006. On March 22, 2006, Carolina Woods was sold, causing the Partnership's disposition of its interest in this Local Limited Partnership. As expected, the Property's sales price was insufficient to produce any net proceeds to the Partnership. This sale will result in a 2006 taxable loss projected to be approximately $480,000, or $7 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Local Limited Partnership. As previously reported, Lakeside Square, located in Chicago, Illinois, enjoyed very strong operations for a number of years. In 2003, the Local General Partner requested approval for a refinancing of the Property. In return for the Partnership's approval, the Managing General Partner obtained a put option to transfer the Partnership's interest at any time after December 31, 2005, the end of the Property's Compliance Period, for $300,000. As part of the agreement, the Local General Partner received a call option to be exercised any time after December 31, 2005 (previously incorrectly reported as December 31, 2006). The Partnership received Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, as defined in the Local Limited Partnership Agreement, of $4,922,665 from the refinancing, which closed on August 31, 2004. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net proceeds in Reserves. Effective January 2, 2006, the Managing General Partner exercised its put option on this Local Limited Partnership, receiving $304,020 in return for its interest in this Local Limited Partnership. The Managing General Partner, in accordance with and as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, retained the entire amount of net proceeds from this sale in Reserves. This transfer will result in 2006 taxable income projected to be approximately $1,000,000, or $15 per Unit. The Partnership no longer has an interest in this Property. The Managing General Partner anticipates that the Partnership's interest in the Local Limited Partnership that owns Mayfair Mansions, located in Washington, DC, will be terminated upon the sale of the Property to an unaffiliated entity. The sale is currently estimated to take place during 2006. Inflation and Other Economic Factors Inflation had no material impact on the operations or financial condition of the Partnership for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Since most of the Properties benefit from some sort of government assistance, the Partnership is subject to the risks inherent in that area including decreased subsidies, difficulties in finding suitable tenants and obtaining permission for rent increases. In addition, any Tax Credits allocated to investors with respect to a Property are subject to recapture to the extent that the Property or any portion thereof ceases to qualify for Tax Credits. Certain Properties in which the Partnership has invested are located in areas suffering from poor economic conditions. Such conditions could have an adverse effect on the rent or occupancy levels at such Properties. Nevertheless, the Managing General Partner believes that the generally high demand for below-market rate housing will tend to negate such factors. However, no assurance can be given in this regard.

The Partnership is organized as a limited partnership solely for the purpose of real estate investment and does not have any employees. Therefore the Partnership has not adopted a Code of Ethics. The Partnership is structured as a limited partnership that was formed principally for real estate investment and is not a "listed" issuer as defined by Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, neither an audit committee nor a financial expert to serve on such a committee has been established by the Partnership. Item 10. Management Remuneration Neither the directors nor officers of Arch Street VIII, Inc., nor the partners of Arch Street IV L.P. nor any other individual with significant involvement in the business of the Partnership receives any current or proposed remuneration from the Partnership.

Holders of Units are permitted to vote on matters affecting the Partnership only in certain unusual circumstances and do not generally have the right to vote on the operation or management of the Partnership. Arch Street IV L.P. owns five (unregistered) Units not included in the 68,043 Units sold to the public.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Partners of Boston Financial Qualified Housing Credits Limited Partnership IV In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits Limited Partnership IV ("the Partnership") at March 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The Partnership accounts for its investments in the local limited partnerships, as discussed in Note 2 of the notes to the financial statements, using the equity method of accounting. We did not audit the financial statements of Leawood Associates L.P., Sencit Towne House L.P. and Allentown Towne House L.P. (the local "Limited Partnerships"), investments in which the Partnership's investment in the Local Limited Partnerships is stated at $3,331,324 at March 31, 2006, and the Partnership's equity in earnings (losses) of the Local Limited Partnerships is stated at ($262,643), $126,000 and ($113,388) respectively for the year ended March 31, 2006. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Local Limited Partnerships is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Boston, Massachusetts June 28, 2006 HA&W Certified Public Accountants and Business Advisors INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Partners Leawood Associates, L.P. We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of LEAWOOD ASSOCIATES, L.P. [a limited partnership], as of December 31, 2005, and the related statements of changes in partners equity, operations, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LEAWOOD ASSOCIATES, L.P. as of December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations, its changes in partners equity, and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supporting information shown on pages 13 and 14 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. /s/Habif, Arogeti & Wynne, LLP Atlanta, Georgia January 20, 2006 Habif, Arogeti & Wynne, LLP Glenridge Highlands Two o 5565 Glenridge Connector o Suite 200 o Atlanta, Georgia 30342 404.892.9651 o Fax 404.876.3913 o www.hawcpa.com An Independent Member of Baker Tilly International o Certified Public Accountants Carter & Company Certified Public Accountants, LLC 543 Highway 98 East, Suite 201 Destin, Florida 32541 Phone: 850-650-0125 Fax: 850-650-0126 Independent Auditors' Report To the Partners Allentown Towne House Limited Partnership (A Limited Partnership) In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statement of profit and loss, changes in partners' equity (deficiency) and cash flows present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position of Allentown Towne House Limited Partnership (A Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. IV (A Limited Partnership) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Organization Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. IV (the "Partnership") was formed on March 30, 1989 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the primary purpose of investing, as a limited partner, in other limited partnerships ("Local Limited Partnerships") which own and operate apartment complexes, most of which benefit from some form of federal, state or local assistance program and each of which qualifies for low-income housing tax credits. The Partnership's objectives are to: (i) provide current tax benefits in the form of tax credits which qualified investors may use to offset their federal income tax liability; (ii) preserve and protect the Partnership's capital; (iii) provide limited cash distributions which are not expected to constitute taxable income during Partnership operations; and iv) provide cash distributions from sale or refinancing transactions. The General Partners of the Partnership are Arch Street VIII, Inc., which serves as the Managing General Partner, and Arch Street IV L.P., which also serves as the Initial Limited Partner. Both of the General Partners are affiliates of MMA Financial, Inc. ("MMA"). The fiscal year of the Partnership ends on March 31. The Partnership's partnership agreement ("Partnership Agreement") authorized the sale of up to 100,000 units of Limited Partnership Interest ("Units") at $1,000 per Unit, adjusted for certain discounts. The Partnership raised $67,653,000 ("Gross Proceeds"), net of discounts of $390,000, through the sale of 68,043 Units. Such amounts exclude five unregistered Units previously acquired for $5,000 by the Initial Limited Partner, which is also one of the General Partners. The offering of Units terminated on January 31, 1990. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership originally designated 4.00% of the Gross Proceeds from the sale of Units as a reserve for working capital of the Partnership and contingencies related to ownership of Local Limited Partnership interests. The Managing General Partner may increase or decrease such amounts from time to time as it deems appropriate. At March 31, 2006, the Managing General Partner has designated $4,110,395 of cash, cash equivalents and investment securities as such Reserves. Generally, profits, losses, tax credits and cash flows from operations are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners. Net proceeds from a sale or refinancing will be allocated 95% to the Limited Partners and 5% to the General Partners, after certain priority payments. The General Partners may have an obligation to fund deficits in their capital accounts, subject to limits set forth in the Partnership Agreement. However, to the extent that the General Partner' capital accounts are in deficit position certain items of net income may be allocated to the General Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. 2. Significant Accounting Policies Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Concentration of Credit Risk The Partnership invests its cash primarily in money market funds with commercial banks. At times, cash balances at a limited number of banks and financial institutions may exceed federally insured amounts. Management believes it mitigates its credit risk by investing in major financial institutions. Investment Securities The Partnership's investment securities are classified as "Available for Sale" securities and are reported at fair value as reported by the brokerage firm at which the securities are held. All investment securities have fixed maturities. Realized gains and losses from the sales of securities are based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of partners' equity. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships The Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership invests are Variable Interest Entities ("VIE"s). The Partnership is involved with the VIEs as a non-controlling limited partner equity holder. Because the Partnership is BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. IV (A Limited Partnership) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Investments in Local Limited Partnerships (continued) not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, it accounts for its investments in the Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting. As a result of its involvement with the VIEs, the Partnership's exposure to economic and financial statement losses is limited to its investments in the VIEs ($4,355,556 at March 31, 2006). The Partnership may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that the Partnership voluntarily provides in the future. Under the equity method, a Local Limited Partnership investment will not be carried below zero. To the extent that equity in losses are incurred when the Partnership's carrying value of the respective Local Limited Partnership has been reduced to a zero balance, the losses will be suspended and offset against future income. Income from Local Limited Partnerships, where cumulative equity in losses plus cumulative distributions have exceeded the total investment in Local Limited Partnerships, will not be recorded until all of the related unrecorded losses have been offset. To the extent that a Local Limited Partnership with a carrying value of zero distributes cash to the Partnership, that distribution is recorded as income on the books of the Partnership and is included in "other revenue" in the accompanying financial statements. The Tax Credits generated by Local Limited Partnerships are not reflected on the books of the Partnership as such credits are allocated to partners for use in offsetting their Federal income tax liability. Excess investment costs over the underlying net assets acquired have arisen from acquisition fees paid and expenses reimbursed to an affiliate of the Partnership. These fees and expenses are included in the Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 35 years until a Local Limited Partnership's respective investment balance has been reduced to zero. The Partnership may provide advances to the Local Limited Partnerships to finance operations or to make debt service payments. The Partnership assesses the collectibility of any advances at the time the advance is made and records a reserve if collectibility is not reasonably assured. The Partnership does not guarantee any of the mortgages or other debt of the Local Limited Partnerships. The Managing General Partner has elected to report results of the Local Limited Partnerships on a 90 day lag basis, because the Local Limited Partnerships report their results on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, the financial information of the Local Limited Partnerships that is included in the accompanying financial statements is as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the years then ended. The Partnership, as a limited partner in the Local Limited Partnerships, is subject to risks inherent in the ownership of property, which is beyond its control, such as fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations in rental schedules, proper maintenance and continued eligibility for tax credits. If the cost of operating a property exceeds the rental income earned thereon, the Partnership may deem it in its best interest to voluntarily provide funds in order to protect its investment. The Partnership has implemented policies and practices for assessing other-than-temporary declines in values of its investments in Local Limited Partnerships. Periodically, the carrying values of the investments are compared to their respective fair values. If an other-than-temporary decline in carrying value exists, a provision to reduce the asset to fair value, as calculated based primarily on remaining tax benefits, will be recorded in the Partnership's financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. IV (A Limited Partnership) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS No. 107"), Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure for the fair value of most on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The scope of SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments, such as trade receivables and payables when the carrying value approximates the fair value and investments accounted for under the equity method, and all nonfinancial assets, such as real property. Unless otherwise described, the fair values of the Partnership's assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107 approximate their carrying amounts in the accompanying balance sheet. Income Taxes No provision for income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is the obligation of the partners of the Partnership. 3.
