                        (A MARYLAND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)         ACCOUNTING POLICIES

            ORGANIZATION

            National Housing Partnership Realty Fund I (the "Partnership") is a
            limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of
            Maryland under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act
            on October 21, 1983. The Partnership was formed for the purpose of
            raising capital by offering and selling limited partnership
            interests and then investing in limited partnerships ("Local Limited
            Partnerships"), each of which owns and operates an existing rental
            housing project which is financed and/or operated with one or more
            forms of rental assistance or financial assistance from the U.S.
            Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD").

            The General Partner raised capital for the Partnership by offering
            and selling to additional limited partners 11,519 investment units
            at a price of $1,000 per unit. The Partnership acquired limited
            partnership interests ranging from 98% to 99% in ten Local Limited
            Partnerships, each of which was organized to acquire and operate an
            existing rental housing project.

            On June 3, 1997, Apartment Investment and Management Company, a
            Maryland corporation ("AIMCO" and, together with its subsidiaries
            and other controlled entities, the "AIMCO Group"), acquired all of
            the issued and outstanding capital stock of NHP Partners, Inc., a
            Delaware corporation ("NHP Partners"), and the AIMCO Group acquired
            all of the outstanding interests in NHP Partners Two Limited
            Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("NHP Partners Two").
            The Acquisition was made pursuant to a Real Estate Acquisition
            Agreement, dated as of May 22, 1997 (the "Agreement"), by and among
            AIMCO, AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
            "Operating Partnership"), Demeter Holdings Corporation, a
            Massachusetts corporation ("Demeter"), Phemus Corporation, a
            Massachusetts corporation ("Phemus"), Capricorn Investors, L.P., a
            Delaware limited partnership ("Capricorn"), J. Roderick Heller, III
            and NHP Partners Two LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("NHP
            Partners Two LLC"). NHP Partners owns all of the outstanding capital
            stock of the National Corporation for Housing Partnerships, a
            District of Columbia corporation ("NCHP"), which is the general
            partner of The National Housing Partnership, a District of Columbia
            limited partnership (the "NHP Partnership"). Together, NCHP and NHP
            Partners Two own all of the outstanding partnership interests in the
            NHP Partnership. The NHP Partnership is the general partner of
            National Housing Partnership Realty Fund I (a Maryland Limited
            Partnership) (the "Registrant"). As a result of these transactions,
            the AIMCO Group has acquired control of the general partner of the
            Registrant and, therefore, may be deemed to have acquired control of
            the Registrant.

            BASIS OF PRESENTATION

            The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all
            adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a
            fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations
            for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a
            normal and recurring nature.

            While the General Partner believes that the disclosures presented
            are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested
            that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
            financial statements and notes included in NHP Realty Fund I's
            Annual Report filed in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
            1996.

                   NATIONAL HOUSING PARTNERSHIP REALTY FUND I
                        (A MARYLAND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(2)         INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

            The Partnership owns a 98% limited partnership interest in Gates
            Mills I Limited Partnership and 99% limited partnership interests in
            nine other Local Limited Partnerships. Because the Partnership, as a
            limited partner, does not exercise control over the activities of
            the Local Limited Partnerships in accordance with the partnership
            agreements, the investments in Local Limited Partnerships are
            accounted for using the equity method. Thus, the investments (and
            the advances made to the Local Limited Partnerships as discussed
            below) are carried at cost less the Partnership's share of the Local
            Limited Partnerships' losses and distributions. However, because the
            Partnership is not legally liable for the obligations of the Local
            Limited Partnerships, and is not otherwise committed to provide
            additional support to them, it does not recognize losses once its
            investments, reduced for its share of losses and cash distributions,
            reach zero in each of the individual Local Limited Partnerships. As
            of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, investments in eight of
            the ten Local Limited Partnerships had been reduced to zero. As a
            result, the Partnership did not recognize $1,184,908 and $1,495,847
            of losses from Local Limited Partnerships during the nine months
            ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. As of September 30,
            1997 and December 31, 1996, the Partnership has not recognized a
            total of $15,494,883 and $14,309,975, respectively, of its allocated
            share of cumulative losses from the Local Limited Partnerships in
            which its investment is zero.

            Advances made by the Partnership to the individual Local Limited
            Partnerships are considered part of the Partnership's investment in
            Local Limited Partnerships. When advances are made to a Local
            Limited Partnership for which the Partnership carries its investment
            at zero, they are charged to operations as a loss on investment in
            the Local Limited Partnership using previously unrecognized
            cumulative losses. As discussed above, due to the cumulative losses
            incurred by eight of the Local Limited Partnerships, the aggregate
            balance of investments in and advances to Local Limited
            Partnerships, for these eight Local Limited Partnerships, has been
            reduced to zero at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. To the
            extent these advances are repaid by the Local Limited Partnerships
            in the future, the repayments will be credited as distributions in
            excess of investment in Local Limited Partnerships. These advances
            are carried as a payable to the Partnership by the Local Limited
            Partnerships.

            During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership
            advanced $23,472 to Village Green Local Limited Partnership to
            complete a discounted buyout agreement for early settlement of the
            property's deferred acquisition note and accrued interest payable.
            No advances were made by the Partnership during the nine months
            ended September 30, 1997. During the nine months ended September 30,
            1996, repayments of advances of $36,612 and accrued interest of
            $24,277 were received from two Local Limited Partnerships. These
            repayments were credited as distributions and repayments received in
            excess of investment in Local Limited Partnerships. No repayments of
            advances were made to the Partnership during the nine months ended
            September 30, 1997. The combined amount carried as due to the

(3)        TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER

            During the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the
            Partnership accrued administrative and reporting fees payable to the
            General Partner in the amount of $64,794 for services provided to
            the Partnership. The Partnership did not make any payments to the
            General Partner for these fees during each of the respective
            periods. The amount due the General Partner by the Partnership for
            administrative and reporting fees was $808,366 and $743,572 at
            September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

            During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the General Partner
            advanced $9,911 to the Partnership to fund operating expenses. No
            advances were made during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
            No repayments of working capital advances were made during the nine
            months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The amount owed to the
            General Partner at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, was
            $9,911. Interest is charged on borrowings at the Chase Manhattan
            Bank rate of prime plus 2%. Accrued interest on this loan amounted
            to $1,736 and $844 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
            respectively.

            The advances and accrued administrative and reporting fees payable
            to the General Partner will be paid as cash flow permits or from
            proceeds generated from the sale or refinancing of one or more of
            the underlying properties of the Local Limited Partnerships.

(4)         RESTATEMENT

            Subsequent to the issuance of the Partnership's financial statements
            for the quarterly period ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership's
            management determined that its share of extraordinary gain from the
            extinguishment of debt recorded in the statement of operations was
            incorrectly calculated due to a clerical error.

            As a result, the accompanying financial statements have been
            restated from the amounts previously reported to properly report the
            Partnership's share of extraordinary gain and its Investment in and
            Advances to Local Limited Partnerships.

            The effects of the restatement are as follows:

ITEM 2 -   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                   NATIONAL HOUSING PARTNERSHIP REALTY FUND I
                        (A MARYLAND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)


The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information
included in this Report and other Partnership filings (collectively "SEC
Filings") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (as well as information communicated orally or
in writing between the dates of such SEC Filings) contains or may contain
information that is forward looking, including statements regarding the effect
of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those
described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of
factors including national and local economic conditions, the general level of
interest rates, terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership
and interpretations of those regulations, the competitive environment in which
the properties owned by the Local Limited Partnerships operate, the availability
of working capital and dispositions of properties owned by the Partnership.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The properties in which the Partnership has invested, through its investments in
the Local Limited Partnerships, receive one or more forms of assistance from
Federal, state or local governments or agencies. As a result, the Local Limited
Partnerships' ability to transfer funds either to the Partnership or among
themselves in the form of cash distributions, loans or advances is generally
restricted by these government-assistance programs. These restrictions, however,
are not expected to impact the Partnership's ability to meet its cash
obligations.

For the past several years, various proposals have been advanced by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), Congress and others
proposing the restructuring of HUD's rental assistance programs under Section 8
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 ("Section 8"), under which 1,213 units,
77 percent of the total units owned by the properties in which the Partnership
has invested, receive rental subsidies. On October 27, 1997, the President
signed into law the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of
1997 (the "1997 Housing Act"). Under the 1997 Housing Act, certain properties
assisted under Section 8, with rents above market levels and financed with
HUD-insured mortgage loans, will be restructured by reducing subsidized rents to
market levels, thereby reducing rent subsidies, and lowering required debt
service costs as needed to ensure financial viability at the reduced rents and
rent subsidies. The 1997 Housing Act retains project-based subsidies for most
properties (properties in rental markets with limited supply, properties serving
the elderly, and certain other properties). The 1997 Housing Act phases out
project-based subsidies on selected properties servicing families not located in
rental markets with limited supply, converting such subsidies to a tenant-based
subsidy. Under a tenant-based system, rent vouchers would be issued to qualified
tenants who then could elect to reside at properties of their choice, provided
such tenants have the financial ability to pay the difference between the
selected properties' monthly rent and the value of the vouchers, which would be
established based on HUD's regulated fair market rent for the relevant
geographical areas. The 1997 Housing Act provides that properties will begin the
restructuring process in federal fiscal year 1999 (beginning October 1, 1998),
and that HUD will issue final regulations implementing 1997 Housing Act on or
before October 27, 1998. With respect to Housing Assistance Payments Contracts
("HAP Contracts") expiring before October 1, 1998, Congress has elected to renew
them for one-year terms, generally at existing rents, so long as the properties
remain in compliance with the HAP Contracts. While the Partnership does not
expect the provisions of the 1997 Housing Act to result in a significant number
of tenants relocating from properties owned by the Local Limited Partnerships,
there can be no assurance that the provisions will not significantly affect the
operations of the properties of the Local Limited Partnerships. Furthermore,
there can be no assurance that other changes in Federal housing subsidy policy
will not occur. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on the operation
of the Partnership.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$33,013 as compared to cash provided by operations of $19,372 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The change in cash used in/provided by
operations resulted from a decrease in interest received and a decrease in
distributions received in excess of investment in Local Limited Partnerships
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership advanced
$23,472 to Village Green Local Limited Partnership to complete a discounted
buyout agreement for early settlement of the property's deferred acquisition
note and accrued interest payable. No advances were made by the Partnership
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, repayments of advances of $36,612 and accrued interest of
$24,277 were received from two Local Limited Partnerships. These repayments were
credited as distributions and repayments received in excess of investment in
Local Limited Partnerships. No repayments of advances were made to the
Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The combined amount
carried as due to the Partnership by the Local Limited Partnerships was $379,590
as of September 30, 1997.

Distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships represent the
Partnership's proportionate share of the excess cash available for distribution
from the Local Limited Partnerships. As a result of the use of the equity method
of accounting for the Partnership's investments, as of September 30, 1997,
investments in eight Local Limited Partnerships had been reduced to zero. For
these investments, cash distributions received are recorded in income as
distributions received in excess of investment in Local Limited Partnerships.
For those investments not reduced to zero, distributions received are recorded
as distributions from Local Limited Partnerships. Cash distributions of $11,686
and $47,004 were received during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The receipt of distributions in future quarters and years is
dependent upon the operations of the underlying properties of the Local Limited
Partnerships to generate sufficient cash for distribution in accordance with
applicable HUD regulations.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $29,180 at September 30, 1997. The ability
of the Partnership to meet its on-going cash requirements, in excess of cash on
hand at September 30, 1997, is dependent upon the future receipt of
distributions from the Local Limited Partnerships or proceeds from sales or
refinancing of one or more of the underlying properties of the Local Limited
Partnerships. Cash on hand at September 30, 1997, plus any distributions from
the underlying operations of the combined Local Limited Partnerships is expected
to adequately fund the operations of the Partnership in the current year.
However, there can be no assurance that future distributions will be adequate to
fund the operations beyond the current year.

The Partnership currently owes the General Partner $808,366 for administrative
and reporting services performed. The payment of the unpaid administrative and
reporting fees will most likely result from the sale or refinancing of the
underlying properties of the Local Limited Partnerships, rather than through
recurring operations.

Eight of the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested
have deferred acquisition notes due the original owner of each Property. With
the exception of Fairmeadows and Southridge, whose notes were extended to 2011
during 1996, these notes will reach final maturity between 1997 and 1999. These
notes are secured by both the Partnership's and The National Housing
Partnership's interests in the Local Limited Partnerships. In the event of a
default on the notes, the note holders would be able to assume The National
Housing Partnership's and the Partnership's interests in the Local Limited
Partnerships.

Griffith Limited Partnership has a deferred acquisition note and related accrued
interest due on October 31, 1997, which raises substantial doubt about the Local
Limited Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The Local Limited
Partnership's continued existence as a going concern is dependent on the ability
to repay, refinance, restructure, or

renegotiate this note. The General Partner's intentions are to negotiate with
the note holder to arrange a satisfactory workout plan which will allow the
Local Limited Partnership to maintain ownership of the property. Should no
agreement be reached and the note matures absent a sale or refinancing which
produces sufficient funds to repay the note in full, a default would occur on
the note. Such default could lead to a foreclosure by the note holder of the
security underlying the note such that the Partnership may lose its interest in
the Griffith Limited Partnership. Should the Partnership lose its interest in
Griffith Limited Partnership, partners in the Partnership may incur adverse tax
consequences. The impact of the tax consequences is dependent upon each
partner's individual tax situation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership has invested as a limited partner in Local Limited Partnerships
which operate ten rental housing properties. In prior years, results of
operations of NHP Realty Fund I were significantly impacted by the Partnership's
share of the losses of the Local Limited Partnerships. These losses included
depreciation and accrued deferred acquisition note interest expense which are
noncash in nature. Eight of the ten investments in Local Limited Partnerships
have been reduced to zero. As a result, the Partnership's operations are no
longer being affected by its share of the operations from these eight
partnerships. The Partnership has recorded its share of income or losses in the
remaining two Local Limited Partnerships which amounted to losses of $53,803 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and income of $14,103 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.

The Partnership realized a net loss before extraordinary item of $142,082 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to a net profit before
extraordinary item of $17,488 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Net
loss before extraordinary item per unit of limited partnership interest was $12
compared to a net profit per unit of $1 for the 11,519 units outstanding for
both periods. The change in net loss/profit before extraordinary item was
primarily due to the Partnerships' share of losses from Local Limited
Partnerships recognized in 1997, and decreases in distributions received in
excess of investment in and advances to Local Limited Partnerships and interest
income. Additionally, the Partnership recognized a gain from extinguishment of
debt of $1,763,685 due to the early settlement of the deferred acquisition notes
for Village Green and Forest Green during the nine months ended September 30,
1996. There was no such gain recognized during the nine months ended September
30, 1997. The Partnership did not recognize $1,184,908 of its allocated share of
losses from eight Local Limited Partnerships for the nine months September 30,
1997, as the Partnership's net carrying basis in these Local Limited
Partnerships had been reduced to zero. The Partnership's share of operating
losses from the Local Limited Partnerships, if not limited to its investment
account balance, would have decreased $243,033 between periods, primarily due to
a decrease in interest accrued on deferred acquisition notes for Forest Green,
Village Green, Fairmeadows and Southridge, partially offset by an increase in
operating expenses.
