(UNAUDITED)
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of National
Housing Trust Limited Partnership (Investment Partnership) and the Operating
Partnerships in which it has acquired a significant limited partnership
interest.
The information furnished reflects all adjustments (all of which were of a
normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
fairly present the combined financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows on a consistent basis.
The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements are presented in
accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and consequently do not include
all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Reference should be made to the Partnership's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K
for additional disclosures including a summary of the Partnership's accounting
policies which are not significantly different.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
Management does not expect Statement 128 to impact the financial statements.
NOTE B--IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Investor Partnership has two Fort Worth, Texas Operating Partnerships which
had been in default of their mortgage obligations for their two properties with
mortgages held by HUD.
In November 1995, the General Partner was notified that the mortgage loans on
these two properties had been acquired from HUD by a Texas bank, which demanded
that the mortgages be brought current immediately. On March 14, 1996 the bank
notified the General Partner that the properties would be foreclosed upon if the
related mortgages were not paid in full by April 2, 1996. On March 26 and 28,
1996 the General Partner filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code for each of the two Operating Partnerships.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of", which requires impairment losses to be recognized for
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present
and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets'
carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of
the asset to its carrying amount. The Investment Partnership adopted Statement
121 in the first quarter of 1996. The fair value was based on the purchase
price of the mortgages of the two Operating Partnerships. The new impairment
rules resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss of $2.3 million related
to the two properties referred to above that was charged against operations in
first quarter 1996.
The December 31, 1996 financial statements for these two properties were audited
by other auditors who expressed uncertainty in their audit reports about the
ability of these two operating partnerships to continue as going concerns. The
bankruptcy hearing previously scheduled for April 10, 1997 was rescheduled for
June 5, 1997, and has been continued to August 20, 1997. In the event these two
properties are unable to successfully reorganize as a result of the Chapter 11
filings, the related impact is not expected to be material to the Investment
Partnership, which expects to continue to operate as a going concern entity.

<PAGE>
Further, if the lender is successful in its foreclosure proceedings, the debt
and related accrued interest would be recorded as an extraordinary gain in the
period the foreclosure is consummated. A foreclosure or sale of the properties
would result in adverse tax consequences to the investors of the Investment
Partnership, including the recapture of a portion of the low income tax credits
allocated to these two properties as well as a reduction of tax credits in
future years.
NOTE C--LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE
On March 26 and 28, 1996, the two Fort Worth, Texas Operating Partnerships (see
Note B) filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in
the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division.
Under Chapter 11, certain claims (including the mortgage notes payable) against
each of the Operating Partnerships in existence prior to the filing are
automatically stayed while the Operating Partnerships continues business
operations as a debtor-in-possession. The claims have been reflected in the
accompanying balance sheet as "liabilities subject to compromise". Additional
claims may arise subsequent to the filing date resulting from various sources,
including a determination of allowed claims by the bankruptcy court. These
additional claims will be reflected as "liabilities subject to compromise" when
the likelihood of the claim is probable and the allowed claim can be reasonably
estimated.
As of the date of this report, the Operating Partnerships have submitted their
proposed Plans of Reorganization. It is indeterminable at this time what
impact, if any, the Plans of Reorganization will have on the Operating
Partnerships. Management believes that a Plan, once filed and approved, will
allow each of the Operating Partnerships to continue as a going concern; but
there can be no assurance that the court will approve such a plan.
Liabilities subject to compromise consist of the following as of June 30, 1997:

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
General
- -------
In 1988, the Investment Partnership raised $20,293,000 in gross proceeds through
a public offering. Upon paying the selling, offering and organization expenses
of the offering the Investment Partnership had $17,249,000 in net proceeds. Of
the net proceeds, $260,000 was deposited in the Investment Partnership reserve
and $16,989,000 was invested in 31 Operating Partnerships. The 31 Operating
Partnerships that were acquired own low-income housing developments (the
"Properties") that were eligible for the low-income housing tax credit. One of
the Properties was also eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit.
The 31 acquisitions occurred from October 1988 through March 1990.
Each Operating Partnership's Property qualifies for the low-income housing tax
credit (LIHTC). The LIHTC was created by the 1986 Tax Reform Act and is
governed by Section 42 of the Internal Revenue
9
<PAGE>
Code. The Investment Partnership serves as a conduit of the Operating
Partnerships' tax credits, passive losses, portfolio income and other tax
information to the holders of Units of limited partnership interest in the
Investment Partnership (the "Unit holders"). The tax credits are allocated to
the Unit holders for 10 years after a property has been placed in service and
rented up. The tax credits were first allocated to Unit holders in 1988 and are
anticipated to continue until 2001. In addition, in order for a Property to
qualify for the tax credits, the Property must be utilized as a low-income
property for 15 years before it can be sold. The General Partner anticipates the
Properties to be sold between the years 2003 through 2008.
The Investment Partnership elected a special option available in 1990 to
accelerate the LIHTC for individuals who had an interest in the Investment
Partnership before October 26, 1990. Qualifying Unit holders received a tax
credit of 150% of the credit otherwise allowable for the first tax year ending
December 31, 1990. The remaining tax credit available for 1991 and subsequent
tax years is being reduced on a pro rata basis by the amount of the 1990
increased credit. Non-qualifying Unit holders will receive the original
unaccelerated tax credit for the remaining qualifying tax years of their
investment.
Properties
- ----------
Two properties located in Ft. Worth, Texas have experienced cash flow
difficulties and a decline in value (See Footnotes B and C of the Combined
Financial Statements). During 1993, the General Partner resolved a dispute with
a former Managing General Partner who had not made mortgage payments on one of
the properties and failed to comply with its Operating Deficit Guarantee. An
agreement completed in May 1993 ordered the former Managing General Partner to
make a lump sum payment of $20,000 and continue to pay an additional amount
totaling $40,000 over 36 months. All these payments have been received.
Due to the nonpayment of the two properties' mortgages by the former Managing
General Partner, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
assumed the mortgages. In September 1995, HUD auctioned off the mortgage loans
for these properties. The General Partner bid on the mortgage loans, but a
Texas bank was the successful bidder. Due to HUD disclosure policies, the
General Partner did not learn who bought the mortgages until November 9, 1995.
With respect to one property, the bank demanded by letter received November 13,
1995, that the loan be brought current by December 4, 1995 and threatened to
foreclose if payment was not received by that date. The Operating Partnerships
did not have sufficient capital to bring the mortgages current. By letter
proposal on November 22, 1995, the General Partner commenced negotiation with
the bank seeking a consensual agreement to restructure the debt. The bank
responded with a counter proposal on February 22, 1996. The General Partner
evaluated the bank's proposal, found it unworkable, and responded with a counter
proposal on March 14, 1996. The General Partner received notice later that same
day, by letter dated March 12, 1996, that the bank accelerated the maturity of
the indebtedness under the Notes, demanded payment in full and gave notice that
if the indebtedness is not paid in full, the bank would cause the trustee under
the deeds of trust securing the Notes to conduct a foreclosure sale on April 2,
1996. The consequences of foreclosure would include a recapture of a portion of
the tax credits previously received by the investors and the reduction of tax
credits in future years. A foreclosure in 1997 could result in a reduction of
an investor's return from approximately 14% to approximately 10% in 1997 and to
approximately 13% each year thereafter through the year 2000. The General
Partner will employ all actions to minimize the effect on the investors. As
part of its strategy, the General Partner filed on March 26, 1996 for Trinidad
Apartments Limited Partnership and on March 28, 1996 for Springchase Apartments
Limited Partnership in the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, Case
#496-41284 and Case #496-4136 respectively, petitions for relief under Chapter
11 to enable the Operating Partnerships to reorganize. The hearing previously
scheduled for April 10, 1997 was rescheduled for June 5, 1997, and has been
continued to August 20, 1997. However, there can be no assurance as to the
outcome at this time.
As of June 30, 1997, average occupancy of the Properties was 96%.

<PAGE>
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The June 30, 1997, net loss of $1,591,000 decreased 59.2% from the June 30,
1996, net loss of $3,896,000. The reasons for the difference are discussed
below.
An impairment loss of $2,300,000 was recorded in first quarter 1996 for the two
Fort Worth, Texas properties as required by FAS 121 (see Note B).
Total revenue increased $127,000 or 2.0% when comparing the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996.
Total rental expenses exclusive of depreciation and impairment loss for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are $4,877,000 and $4,596,000, respectively.
The $281,000 (6.1%) increase in rental expenses between 1997 and 1996 was due
primarily to a $161,000 (11.4%) increase in operating and maintenance expense
and a $62,000 (11.5%) increase in management fee expense.
The operating and maintenance expense increase is primarily related to an
increase in repairs and maintenance in the current year first quarter as
compared to the prior year first quarter. The management fee increase is
primarily related to the payment of incentive management fees for five of the
properties in first quarter 1997.
To date, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Partnerships'
combined operations. However, rent levels of the Properties are generally
limited by the requirements of the low-income housing tax credit and are subject
to strict governmental regulation. In the event of significant inflation, the
Operating Partnerships may be unable to increase rents sufficiently to
compensate for increases in expenses. Due to the proposed changes in HUD
programs future increases in subsidy income may be limited. Overall, the
Properties are in good physical condition after taking into account the planned
repairs and maintenance discussed above, they are producing positive cash flow
and the managing general partners and management companies are consistently
seeking means to improve operational results.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------
Liquidity is defined as an Operating Partnership's ability to meet its current
and long-term financial obligations. If a Property were to lose its governmental
rent, interest subsidy or mortgage insurance, the Operating Partnership holding
such Property might be unable to fund expenses on an ongoing basis.
Liquidity shortfalls might be covered by new federal governmental subsidy
programs, by state and local agencies, by funds from the Investment Partnership
reserve, or general partner operating deficit guarantees, although there is no
assurance that such sources would be available or, if available, sufficient to
cover any liquidity shortfall. A liquidity shortfall, for whatever reason, might
result in a sale, refinancing, or foreclosure of the property, any one of which
could have material adverse tax consequences to a Unit holder, including a
partial recapture of previously allocated low-income housing tax credits.
The programs of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are
subject to being restructured, and the Clinton Administration and various
members of Congress have proposed a variety of program modifications. Most
proposals call for restructuring debt on assisted housing to reflect current
market values and reducing subsidized rents accordingly. In addition, many
proposals call for the conversion of subsidies from project-based subsidies to
tenant-based subsidies.
Public Law 104-204, effective October 1, 1996, provided that HUD generally will
renew Section 8 rental assistance contracts that expire in fiscal year 1997
(October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1997) for one year so long as the
subsidized rents on the properties do not exceed 120% of HUD-published Fair
Market Rents (FMRs) for the market areas in which the properties are located.
With respect to most properties with rents in excess of 120% of FMRs and Section
8 contracts that expire in fiscal year 1997, Congress authorized a demonstration
program to initiate restructuring of the loans and rent subsidies. The
Operating Partnerships own 14 properties whose Section 8 contracts expired in
1997, of which two have rents in
11
<PAGE>
excess of 120% of FMRs. The Section 8 contracts for these 14 properties have
been or are expected to be renewed with HUD until at least the end of fiscal
1997. In addition, two other properties owned by Operating Partnerships have
Section 8 contracts with rents in excess of 120% of FMRs that expire after
fiscal year 1997. Congress is still considering legislation that is expected to
affect the renewals of Section 8 contracts. The General Partner continues to
monitor current legislation and will seek to renew all expiring Section 8
contracts, and if appropriate, the General Partner will seek to participate in
the program to restructure loans and rent subsidies.
The ramifications of these proposed changes could affect demand for and cash
flow of many of the Properties, as well as potentially create debt forgiveness
taxable income. The General Partner is monitoring and preparing for the
potential impact of the proposed restructuring of HUD programs. The General
Partner is unable to predict with certainty the impact of HUD program
restructuring on the Operating Partnerships, but it is possible that a
restructuring could have a material adverse effect on one or more of the
Properties, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Investment
Partnership.
At June 30, 1997 assets limited as to use were $5,512,000. The assets were
composed of the Investment Partnership reserve of $374,000 and Operating
Partnership reserves of $5,138,000. The Investment Partnership reserves are
available to fund repairs and maintenance as well as operational expenses, while
the reserves maintained by an Operating Partnership are typically available only
for the Property owned by such Operating Partnership. Historically, the
Investment Partnership reserve has been available to fund obligations of the
Investment Partnership, including the management fee payable by the Investment
Partnership to the General Partner. In 1996 the General Partner deferred
payment of $195,000 of its Management Fee due to a reduced level of the
Investment Partnership Reserve. In light of the current level, the General
Partner is again considering deferring payment of a portion of its fee in 1997
to maintain an appropriate level of Investment Partnership reserve. There can
be no assurance, however, that the Investment Partnership reserve will be
sufficient to satisfy the liquidity requirements of any given Operating
Partnership in the event that the reserves of such Operating Partnership are
insufficient for this purpose. The deposits and withdrawals from the Operating
Partnership reserves are generally regulated by a governing federal, state or
local agency.
Low-income housing projects frequently generate limited cash flow and,
therefore, the potential for cash flow deficits exists. The General Partner
does not anticipate that the Investment Partnership will distribute cash to Unit
holders in circumstances other than refinancing or disposition of its
investments in the Operating Partnerships.
