PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS:
National Tax Credit Partners, L.P. ("NTCP" or the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership formed under the laws of the State of California on March 7, 1989.
The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partnership interests in separate
local limited partnerships ("Local Partnerships"), which own multifamily
apartment complexes that are eligible for low-income housing federal income tax
credits ("Housing Tax Credits"). On June 6, 1989, the Partnership offered 14,000
units consisting of 28,000 limited partnership interests and warrants to
purchase 14,000 additional limited partnership interests (collectively "Limited
Partnership Interests") through a public offering managed by PaineWebber
Incorporated (the "Selling Agent").
The general partner of the Partnership is National Partnership Investments Corp.
("NAPICO"), a California corporation (the "General Partner"). The business of
the Partnership is conducted primarily by NAPICO.
Prior to December 30, 1998, NAPICO was a wholly owned subsidiary of Casden
Investment Corporation ("CIC"), which is wholly owned by Alan I. Casden. On
December 30, 1998, Casden Properties Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership"), a majority owned subsidiary of Casden Properties Inc., a real
estate investment trust organized by Alan I. Casden, purchased a 95.25% economic
interest in NAPICO. The current members of NAPICO's Board of Directors are
Charles H. Boxenbaum, Bruce E. Nelson, Alan I. Casden and Henry C. Casden.
In general, an owner of a low-income housing apartment complex ("Apartment
Complex") is entitled to receive Housing Tax Credits in each year of a ten-year
period (the "Credit Period"). The Apartment Complex is subject to a 15-year
compliance period (the "Compliance Period") to preserve the Housing Tax Credits.
In addition to the Housing Tax Credits, tax credits are available for certain
rehabilitation expenditures incurred in improving certified historic structures
("Historic Tax Credits," and together with Housing Tax Credits are referred to
as "Tax Credits"). Tax Credits are available to the Limited Partners to reduce
their federal income tax liability. The ability of a Limited Partner to utilize
Tax Credits or allocated losses may be restricted by the passive activity loss
limitation and the general business tax credit limitation rules. NTCP invests in
Local Partnerships that each own an Apartment Complex that is eligible for (i)
Housing Tax Credits or (ii) in certain cases, Historic Tax Credits and, in some
cases, both. Several of the Local Partnerships also benefit from government
programs promoting low or moderate income housing.
The Partnership's investments in Local Partnerships are subject to the risks
incident to the management and ownership of multifamily residential real estate.
Neither the Partnership's investments nor the Apartment Complexes owned by the
Local Partnerships will be readily marketable, and there can be no assurance
that the Partnership will be able to dispose of its Local Partnership Interests,
or that the Local Partnerships will be able to dispose of their Apartment
Complexes, at the end of the Compliance Period. The value of the Partnership's
investments will be subject to changes in national and local economic
conditions, including substantial unemployment, which could adversely impact
vacancy levels, rental payment defaults and operating expenses. This, in turn,
could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the Apartment
Complexes and the Partnership. The Apartment Complexes will be subject to loss
through foreclosure. In addition, each Local Partnership is subject to risks
relating to environmental hazards which might be uninsurable. Because the
Partnership's ability to control its operations will depend on these and other
factors beyond the control of the General Partner and the local general
partners, there can be no assurance that the Partnership operations will be
profitable or that the anticipated Tax Credits will be available to Limited
Partners.
The Apartment Complexes owned by the Local Partnerships in which NTCP has
invested were developed by the Local Operating General Partners (the "Local
Operating General Partners") who acquired the sites and applied for applicable
mortgages and subsidies, if any. NTCP became the principal limited partner in
these Local Partnerships pursuant to arm's-length negotiations with the Local
Operating General Partners. As a limited partner, NTCP's liability for
obligations of the
<PAGE> 3
Local Partnership is generally limited to its investment. The Local Operating
General Partner of the Local Partnership retains responsibility for developing,
constructing, maintaining, operating and managing the Apartment Complex. Under
certain circumstances, an affiliate of NAPICO or NTCP may act as the Local
Operating General Partner. An affiliate, National Tax Credit Inc. ("NTC") or
another affiliate, is acting as a non-managing, administrative general partner
or special limited partner of each Local Partnership.

During 1998, the Apartment Complexes in which NTCP had invested were
substantially rented.
The following is a schedule of the occupancy status as of December 31, 1998, of
the Apartment Complexes owned by Local Partnerships in which NTCP is a limited
partner.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES:
Through its investments in Local Partnerships, NTCP holds interests in 31
Apartment Complexes. See Item 1 and Schedule for information pertaining to these
Apartment Complexes.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
As of December 31, 1998, NTCP's General Partner was a plaintiff or defendant in
several lawsuits. In addition, the Partnership is involved in the following
lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In the
opinion of management and the General Partner, the claims will not result in any
material liability to the Partnership.
Victorian Park Associates, which owns a 336-unit Apartment Complex located in
Illinois, defaulted on its mortgage in July 1991 principally because the
unaffiliated Local Operating General Partners failed to pay $800,000 of real
estate taxes required under their guarantees. On March 25, 1992, the Partnership
commenced litigation [National Tax Credit Partners, L.P. v. Havlick, Owings,
United Development et al., Case No. 92C2074 in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division] against the Local
Operating General Partners to enforce its rights. On November 13, 1992 the
Partnership was advised that a Chapter 11 petition in bankruptcy was filed by
the local operating general partners on behalf of the Local Partnership [In re:
Victorian Park Associates, Debtor, Case No. 92-B-25140, Chapter 11] and that the
lender, Patrician Mortgage ("Patrician"), had accelerated its mortgage. On
January 7, 1993, the Partnership obtained an order compelling the Local
Operating General Partners to perform under their Guarantees, which order was
reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The Local
Operating General Partners' Seventh Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan")
is now pending approval. Pursuant to the Plan, Patrician is required to reissue
and/or reduce the principal on the first mortgage bonds and the Local Operating
General Partners are required to (i) pay $1,000,000 cash to implement the Plan
and (ii) pay an agreed upon monthly guarantee payment. No assurances can be
given that the Plan will be successfuly implemented. As of December 31, 1998 and
1997, the Partnership's carrying value of the investment in the Victorian Local
Partnership (which represents approximately 5.7% of the Partnership's total
equity initially invested in Local Partnerships) was zero.
In December 1992, Tara Construction, the general contractor for Art Museum
properties (Summit I, II and III), commenced an action in the Court of Common
Pleas, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania Tara Construction v. NTCP et al., (Case
No. 92-23505) against the three Summit Local Partnerships, the Partnership, NTC,
the General Partner, PaineWebber Incorporated, and a PaineWebber affiliate,
seeking damages of approximately $600,000 allegedly due the general contractor
for work done in connection with the completion of construction plus damages for
alleged misrepresentations and punitive damages. The Partnership believes that
the general contractor's claims are barred and/or subject to offset and it has
filed responsive pleadings. The Partnership has not accrued any liability in the
accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 1998 and 1997. Tara
Construction's lawsuit has been dormant for more than three years. Occupancy
levels at the three related Local Partnerships, Summit I, II, and III (Wallace,
Bergdoll, and Chandler School located in Philadelphia) were 76%, 100%, and 96%,
respectively, at December 31, 1998, and the properties have been operating at a
deficit. The local general partner is currently attempting to negotiate
discounted payments and/or payment plans for outstanding payables which, if
unsuccessful, could result in foreclosure proceedings on all three properties.
In 1996, the aggregate carrying value of the investments in Summit I, Summit II
and Summit III of approximately $2,290,000, was written off. Summit I, II and
III represent 3.2%, 1.4% and 4.6%, respectively, of NTCP's original portfolio
investment.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS:
Not applicable.
PART II.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND RELATED SECURITY
HOLDER MATTERS:
The Limited Partnership Interests are not traded on a public exchange but were
sold through a public offering managed by PaineWebber Incorporated. It is not
anticipated that any active public market will develop for the purchase and sale
of any Limited Partnership Interest. Limited Partnership Interests may not be
transferred but can be assigned only if certain requirements in the Partnership
Agreement are satisfied. At December 31, 1998, there were 3,896 registered
holders of Limited Partnership Interests in NTCP. The Partnership was not
designed to provide cash distributions to Limited Partners in circumstances
other than refinancing or disposition of its investments in Local Partnerships
and then such distributions, if any, may be limited. Distributions have not been
made from the inception of the Partnership to December 31, 1998.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS:
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership received proceeds totaling $59,749,000 from the sale of Limited
Partnership Interests, pursuant to a registration statement filed on Form S-11,
which sale commenced in June 1989 and terminated in June 1990. This amount
includes $18,907,500 from the sale of 7,563 Additional Limited Partnership
Interests. The proceeds have been used to invest in local limited partnerships
("Local Partnerships"), which own and operate multifamily housing complexes
("Apartment Complexes") that are eligible for low income housing tax credits or,
in certain cases, historic rehabilitation tax credits. As a limited partner of
the Local Partnerships, the Partnership does not have authority over day-to-day
management of the Local Partnerships or their Apartment Complexes. The general
partners responsible for management of the Local Partnerships (the "Local
Operating General Partners") are in most cases not affiliated with the General
Partner of the Partnership. See, however, the discussion below concerning the
replacement of the local operating general partners of certain Local
Partnerships and the assumption of those management responsibilities by National
Tax Credit, Inc. ("NTC"), or other affiliates of the General Partner. The
Partnership has made capital contributions to 32 Local Partnerships (one of
which was foreclosed upon by the lender in 1995) representing a total investment
of approximately $44,811,000.
It is not expected that any of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership
invested will generate cash from operations sufficient to provide distributions
to the Limited Partners. Such cash from operations, if any, would first be used
to meet operating expenses of the Partnership. The Partnership's investments are
not readily marketable and may be affected by adverse general economic
conditions which, in turn, could substantially increase the risk of operating
losses for the Apartment Complexes, the Local Partnerships and the Partnership.
These problems may result from a number of factors, many of which cannot be
controlled by the General Partner.
The General Partner has the right to cause distributions received by the
Partnership from the Local Partnerships (that would otherwise be available for
distributions as cash flow) to be dedicated to the increase or replenishment of
reserves at the Partnership level. The reserves are available to satisfy working
capital or operating expense needs of the Partnership (including payment of
partnership management fees) and will also be available to pay any excess
third-party costs or expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with the
administration of the Partnership, the preparation of reports to the Limited
Partners and other investor servicing obligations of the Partnership. At the
discretion of the General Partner, reserves may be available for contributions
to the Local Partnerships.
The Partnership's unrestricted cash reserves as of December 31, 1998 were
approximately $220,457. In order to replenish NTCP's reserves, NTCP sold to the
local general partner an additional portion and further diluted its limited
partner interest in the Rose City local partnership during 1997. The local
general partner will, accordingly, be entitled to an increased allocation of
cash flow and proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the property. NTCP will
continue to receive its allocable portion of housing tax credits, subject to the
allocation made to the additional limited partner identified in a prior report,
through the ten year credit period. As a result of this transaction, NTCP
received $260,000 during 1997. In addition, NTCP sold to an unrelated party a
portion of its limited partner interest in the Countryview local partnership and
received $625,582 during 1997. The amounts received from these sales are traded
as reductions to the Partnership's investment balance in the local partnerships.
The Partnership does not have the ability to assess Limited Partners for
additional capital contributions to provide capital if needed by the Partnership
or Local Partnerships. Accordingly, if circumstances arise that cause the Local
Partnerships to require capital in addition to that contributed by the
Partnership and any equity of the local general partners, the only sources from
which such capital needs will be able to be satisfied (other than the limited
reserves available at the Partnership level) will be (i) third-party debt
financing (which may not be available if, as expected, the Apartment Complexes
owned by the Local Partnerships are already substantially leveraged), (ii) other
equity sources (which could reduce the amount of Tax Credits being allocated to
the Partnership, adversely affect the Partnership's interest in operating cash
flow and/or proceeds of sale or refinancing of the Apartment Complexes and
possibly even result in adverse tax consequences to the
<PAGE> 11
Limited Partners), or (iii) the sale or disposition of Apartment Complexes.
There can be no assurance that any of such sources would be readily available in
sufficient proportions to fund the capital requirements of the Local
Partnerships. If such sources are not available, the Local Partnerships would
risk foreclosure on their Apartment Complexes if they were unable to renegotiate
the terms of their first mortgages and any other debt secured by the Apartment
Complexes, which would have significant adverse tax consequences to the Limited
Partners.
LIQUIDITY
Each Local Partnership investment has been analyzed by the General Partner with
respect to its probable impact upon the Partnership's liquidity position. In
this regard, the General Partner took into account projected cash flow generated
from each Apartment Complex, the anticipated debt service requirements of the
existing financing and any restructuring or refinancing of such Apartment
Complex, and the division of cash flow in excess of debt service between the
Partnership and the local operating general partner.
Following an acquisition, adverse business or financial developments could
negatively impact cash flow and the Partnership's liquidity position. The
General Partner has attempted to obtain operating deficit guarantees from
certain local general partners to fund operating deficits for limited periods of
time. In addition, as discussed above the Partnership maintains reserves and the
Local Partnerships are expected to maintain working capital reserves independent
of those maintained by the Partnership to the extent that (i) the terms of
mortgage debt encumbering the Apartment Complexes or the terms of any government
assistance program so require, or (ii) the local general partner determines that
such reserves are necessary or advisable. Although reserves are to be maintained
at both the Partnership and Local Partnership levels, if such reserves and other
available income, if any, are insufficient to cover the Partnership's or any
Local Partnership's operating expenses and liabilities, it may be necessary to
accumulate additional funds from distributions received from Local Partnerships
which would otherwise be available for distribution to the Limited Partners, or
to liquidate the Partnership's investment in one or more Local Partnerships.
Reserves of the Partnership and reserves of the Local Partnerships may be
increased or decreased from time to time by the General Partner or the local
general partner, as the case may be, in order to meet anticipated costs and
expenses. The amount of cash flow available for distributions and/or sale as
refinancing proceeds, if any, which is available for distribution to the Limited
Partners may be affected accordingly.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Partnership was formed to provide various benefits to its Limited Partners
as discussed in Item 1. It is not expected that any of the Local Partnerships in
which the Partnership has invested will generate cash flow sufficient to provide
for distributions to Limited Partners. The Partnership accounts for its
investments in the Local Partnerships on the equity method, thereby adjusting
its investment balance by its proportionate share of the income or loss of the
Local Partnerships.
In general, in order to avoid recapture of Tax Credits, the Partnership does not
expect that it will voluntarily dispose of its Local Partnership Interests or
approve the sale by a Local Partnership of any Apartment Complex prior to the
end of the applicable 15-year Compliance Period (although earlier dispositions
of Historic Complexes may occur). Because of (i) the nature of the Apartment
Complexes, (ii) the difficulty of predicting the resale market for low-income
housing 15 or more years in the future, and (iii) the inability of the
Partnership to directly cause the sale of Apartment Complexes by local general
partners, but generally only to require such local general partners to use their
respective best efforts to find a purchaser for the Apartment Complexes, it is
not possible at this time to predict whether the liquidation of substantially
all of the Partnership's assets and the disposition of the proceeds, if any, in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement will be able to be accomplished
promptly at the end of the 15-year Compliance Period. If a Local Partnership is
unable to sell an Apartment Complex, it is anticipated that the local general
partner will either continue to operate such Apartment Complex or take such
other actions as the local general partner believes to be in the best interest
of the Local Partnership. In addition, circumstances beyond the control of the
General Partner may occur during the Compliance Period which would require the
Partnership to approve the disposition of an Apartment Complex prior to the end
of the Compliance Period.
<PAGE> 12
Except for interim investments in highly liquid debt investments, the
Partnership's investments consist entirely of interests in other Local
Partnerships owning Apartment Complexes. Funds temporarily not required for such
investments in projects are invested in these highly liquid debt investments
earning interest income as reflected in the statement of operations. These
interim investments can be easily converted to cash to meet obligations as they
arise.
The Partnership, as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships in which it has
invested, is subject to the risks incident to the construction, management, and
ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership investments are also subject
to adverse general economic conditions, and accordingly, the status of the
national economy, including substantial unemployment and concurrent inflation,
could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and operating expenses,
which in turn, could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the
Apartment Complexes. Certain of the Local Partnerships and their respective
Apartment Complexes are subject to litigation and operating problems. See Item 3
"Legal Proceedings" above and the information which follows.
The Meadows Apartments (the "Local Partnership") is a 114-unit building located
in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The first mortgage loan matured on May 15, 1996. After
the lender refused to negotiate an extension of the loan, the Local Partnership
filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings to avert foreclosure. A plan of
reorganization for the Local Partnership (the "Plan") was approved by the
bankruptcy court on December 16, 1996. Under the Plan, the existing loan in the
principal amount of $2,890,000, at an interest rate of 10%, was reduced to
$2,100,000 with an interest rate of 9%. In exchange, the lender received
one-third of NTCP's local partnership interest, including anticipated
allocations of housing tax credits in the amount of approximately $488,500. The
property operated at an occupancy level of 96% as of December 1998 and attained
break-even levels of operations during 1998 and 1997. The Partnership's
investment in Meadows Apartments was zero at December 31, 1998 and 1997, as the
investment was written off in 1995.
Holden Village and Ticino Apartments, located in Seattle, Washington, maintained
average occupancy levels of 97% and 91%, respectively, and have been
experiencing operating deficits. The high cost of servicing the debt is the
largest contributing factor associated with the deficit operations. In January
1998, NTCP was successful in negotiating an interest rate reduction with the
lender for each of the properties. Based on the loan modifications, the
operating performance of each property is expected to improve. The Partnership's
total investment in Holden Village and Ticino Apartments of approximately
$1,223,100 was written off in 1998.
The Dynes Village Apartments complex is operating at a deficit and the first
mortgage loan encumbering the property was delinquent until it was brought
current by NTCP in November 1997. In addition, the property has been audited by
the IRS with respect to tenant qualifications performed by the prior local
operating general partner. The IRS has disqualified all future housing tax
credits based on what they consider non-compliance by the prior local operating
general partner. As a result, the Partnership's investment in Dynes Village of
$560,766 was written off during 1997.
Pursuant to the terms of a workout, dated January 11, 1995 (the "Workout")
agreed upon between the parties relating to the resolution of an existing
default under the first mortgage loan encumbering Glenark Landing, annual
payments of $42,800 for a five year term, totaling $214,000, are due to the
Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation (the "Lender"). The
Partnership's investment in Glenark Landing was zero at December 31, 1998 and
1997. A dispute has arisen as to whether the local partnership is in default
under the Workout. The parties are currently engaged in settlement discussions
regarding this dispute.
Pursuant to the terms of a loan workout relating to the Blue Lake Local
Partnership, dated March 25, 1995 (the "Workout"), NTCP is required to
contribute an additional $541,300 to the local partnership over a ten year
period. In exchange, the debt service on the property is payable out of net cash
flow. During 1998 and 1997, approximately $62,000 and $63,000, respectively, was
paid by NTCP to the local partnership under the Workout. The Partnership's
investment in Blue Lake was zero at December 31, 1998 and 1997.
During 1997, the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department ("Department")
inspected Rose City Village Limited Partnership's compliance with the low-income
housing credit provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and determined that the
Partnership was not in compliance. The Department filed Form 8823, Low-Income
Housing Credit Agencies Report of Noncompliance, with the Internal Revenue
Service. NTCP Management believes the instances of
<PAGE> 13
noncompliance are now corrected; however, as of the date of this report,
resolution of this matter by the Department and the Internal Revenue Service is
still outstanding. The effect, if any, of the noncompliance on the financial
statements of the Partnership cannot be determined at this date. The
Partnership's investment in Rose City at December 31, 1998 was $532,337.
The Partnership accounts for its investments in the Local Partnerships on the
equity method, thereby adjusting its investment balance by its proportionate
share of the income or loss of the Local Partnerships. Equity in losses of Local
Partnerships is recognized in the financial statements until the limited
partnership investment account is reduced to a zero balance. Losses incurred
after the limited partnership investment account is reduced to zero are not
recognized. Limited partners are not liable for losses beyond their contributed
capital. Equity in losses of Local Partnerships decreased in 1998 because Dynes
Village and the Summits were written off in 1997 and 1996, respectively, as
discussed above.
Distributions received from Local Partnerships are recognized as return of
capital until the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a negative
amount equal to future capital contributions required. Subsequent distributions
received are recognized as income.
Operating expenses consist primarily of recurring general and administrative
expenses and professional fees for services rendered to the Partnership. In
addition, an annual partnership management fee in an amount equal to 0.5% of
invested assets is payable to the General Partner and Special Limited Partner.
The management fee represents the annual recurring fee which will be paid to the
General Partner for its continuing management of Partnership affairs. The
decrease in legal fees for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, as
compared to 1996, is due to higher legal fees in 1996 associated with the final
settlement of litigation involving the Blue Lake, Dynes and Glenark Local
Partnerships as well as legal fees being paid in connection with the Victorian
Park bankruptcy, and legal fees incurred in connection with various securities
matters.
The Partnership has assessed the potential impact of the Year 2000 computer
systems issue on its operations. The Partnership believes that no significant
actions are required to be taken by the Partnership to address the issue and
that the impact of the Year 2000 computer systems issue will not materially
affect the Partnership's future operating results or financial condition.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of
National Tax Credit Partners, L.P.
(A California limited partnership)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of National Tax Credit Partners,
L.P. (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the related statements of operations, partners' equity (deficiency) and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the index in
item 14. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the management of the Partnership. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedules based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of
certain investee limited partnerships, the investments in which are reflected in
the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The
investments in these investee limited partnerships represent 98 percent and 40
percent of total assets as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and the
equity in the net loss of these partnerships represents 70 percent, 44 percent
and 55 percent of the total net loss of the Partnership for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and represent a substantial
portion of the investee information in Note 2 and the financial statement
schedules. The financial statements of these investee limited partnerships were
audited by other auditors. Their reports have been furnished to us and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those limited
partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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. 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 audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of National Tax Credit Partners, L.P. as of December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, based on our
audits and the reports of other auditors, such financial statement schedules,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NATIONAL TAX CREDIT PARTNERS, L.P.
(a California limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
National Tax Credit Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed under
the California Revised Limited Partnership Act and organized on March 7,
1989. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in other limited
partnerships which own and operate multifamily housing complexes that
are eligible for low income housing tax credits or, in certain cases,
for historic rehabilitation tax credits. The general partner of the
Partnership (the "General Partner") is National Partnership Investments
Corp., a California corporation ("NAPICO"). Casden Investment
Corporation owns 100% of NAPICO's stock. The special limited partner of
the Partnership (the "Special Limited Partner") is PaineWebber T.C.,
Inc., a Delaware corporation.
The Partnership originally registered 14,000 units, consisting of 28,000
Limited Partnership Interests ("LPI"), and warrants to purchase a
maximum of 14,000 Additional Limited Partnership Interests ("ALPI"). The
term of the offering expired in June 1990, at which date the Partnership
raised $59,749,000 from the sale of 16,336 LPI and warrants representing
7,563 ALPI.
The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating profits and losses of
the Partnership. The limited partners will be allocated the remaining
99% interest in proportion to their respective investments.
The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December
31, 2029, unless terminated prior to that, pursuant to the partnership
agreement or law.
Upon total or partial liquidation of the Partnership or the disposition
or partial disposition of a project or project interest and distribution
of the proceeds, the General Partner will be entitled to a property
disposition fee as mentioned in the partnership agreement. The limited
partners will have a priority item equal to their invested capital plus
a 10% priority return as defined in the partnership agreement. This
property disposition fee may accrue but shall not be paid until the
limited partners have received distributions equal to 100% of their
capital contributions plus the 10% priority return.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships
The investments in limited partnerships are accounted for using the
equity method. Acquisition, selection and other costs related to the
acquisition of the projects acquired are capitalized as part of the
investment accounts and are being amortized on a straight line basis
over the estimated lives of the underlying assets, which is generally 30
years.

NATIONAL TAX CREDIT PARTNERS, L.P.
(a California limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1998
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Interest
Net loss per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the
limited partners' share of net loss by the number of limited partnership
interests outstanding during the year. The number of limited partnership
interests was 23,899 for all years presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Partnership reviews long-lived assets to determine if there has been
any permanent impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the assets, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss.
During 1998, the Partnership recognized an impairment loss of $1,223,000
related to certain of the investments in local limited partnerships.
2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 31 local limited
partnerships (the "Local Partnerships"). As a limited partner of the
Local Partnerships, the Partnership does not have authority over
day-to-day management of the Local Partnerships or their properties (the
"Apartment Complexes"). The general partners responsible for management
of the Local Partnerships (the "Local Operating General Partners") are
not affiliated with the General Partner of the Partnership, except as
discussed below.
At December 31, 1998, the Local Partnerships own residential projects
consisting of 2,788 apartment units.
The Partnership, as a limited partner in each Local Partnership, is
generally entitled to 99 percent of the operating profits and losses of
the Local Partnerships. National Tax Credit, Inc. (NTC), an affiliate of
the General Partner, serves either as a special limited partner or
non-managing administrative general partner in which case it receives
.01 percent of operating profits and losses of the Local Partnership, or
as the Local Operating General Partner of the Local Partnership in which
case it is entitled to .09 percent of operating profits and losses of
the Local Partnership. The Partnership is also generally entitled to
receive 50 percent of the net cash flow generated by the Apartment
Complexes, subject to repayment of any loans made to the Local
Partnerships (including loans provided by NTC or an affiliate),
repayment for funding of development deficit and operating deficit
guarantees by the Local Operating General Partners or their affiliates
(excluding NTC and its affiliates), and certain priority payments to the
Local Operating General Partners other than NTC or its affiliates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1998
2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)
The Partnership's allocable share of losses from Local Partnerships are
recognized in the financial statements until the related investment
account is reduced to a zero balance. Losses incurred after the
investment account is reduced to zero are not recognized. The cumulative
amount of the unrecognized equity in losses of unconsolidated limited
partnerships was approximately $15,462,201 and $15,542,236 as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Distributions from the Local Partnerships are accounted for as a return
of capital until the investment balance is reduced to zero or to a
negative amount equal to further capital contributions required.
Subsequent distributions received will be recognized as income.
The following is a summary of the investments in and advances to Local
Partnerships and reconciliation to the Local Partnerships accounts:

In 1997, the Partnership received approximately $886,000 from the sale of
a portion of its limited partner interests in two Local Partnerships.
The difference between the investment per the accompanying balance sheets
at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the equity per the Local Partnerships'
combined financial statements is due primarily to cumulative unrecognized
equity in losses of certain Local Partnerships the Partnership's
recording of capital contributions payable to the Local Partnerships in
its investment balance and costs capitalized to the investment account.
Victorian Park
Victorian Park Associates, which owns a 336-unit Apartment Complex
located in Illinois, defaulted on its mortgage in July 1991 principally
because the unaffiliated Local Operating General Partners failed to pay
$800,000 of real property taxes required under their guarantees. On March
25, 1992, the Partnership commenced litigation against the Local
Operating General Partners to enforce its rights. On November 13, 1992
the Partnership was advised that a Chapter 11 petition in bankruptcy was
filed by the Local Operating General Partners on behalf of the Local
Partnership and that the lender, Patrician Mortgage ("Patrician"), had
accelerated its mortgage. On January 7, 1993, the Partnership obtained an
order compelling the Local Operating General Partners to perform under
their Guarantees, which order was reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Seventh Circuit. The Local Operating General Partners' Seventh
Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") is now pending approval.
Pursuant to the Plan, Patrician is required to reissue and/or reduce the
principal on the first mortgage bonds and the Local Operating General
Partners are required to (i) pay $1,000,000 cash to implement the Plan
and (ii) pay an agreed upon monthly

guarantee payment. No assurances can be given that the Plan will be
successfully implemented. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the
Partnership's carrying value of the investment in the Victorian Local
Partnership (which represents approximately 5.7 percent of the
Partnership's total equity initially invested in Local Partnerships) was
zero.
Summit I, II and III
The general contractor for three related Local Partnerships, Summit I,
Summit II and Summit III, initiated a lawsuit in December 1992 against
the Local Partnerships and the Partnership seeking damages in the amount
of approximately $600,000 allegedly due pursuant to the respective
general contracts plus damages for alleged misrepresentations and
punitive damages. The Partnership believes that the general contractor's
claims are barred and/or subject to offset and it has filed responsive
pleadings. The Partnership has not accrued any liability in the
accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 1998 and 1997. The
lawsuit has been dormant for more than four years. Occupancy levels at
the three related Local Partnerships, Summit I, II, and III (Wallace,
Bergdoll, and Chandler School located in Philadelphia) were 76%, 100%,
and 96%, respectively, at December 31, 1998, and the properties have been
operating at a deficit. The local general partner is currently attempting
to negotiate discounted payments and/or payment plans for outstanding
payables which, if unsuccessful, could result in foreclosure proceedings
on all three properties. In 1996, the aggregate carrying value of the
investments in Summit I, Summit II and Summit III of approximately
$2,290,000 was written off. Summits I, II and III represent 3.2%, 1.4%
and 4.6%, respectively, of NTCP's original portfolio investment.
Meadows
The Meadows Apartments (the "Local Partnership") is a 114-unit building
located in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The first mortgage loan matured on May
15, 1996. After the lender refused to negotiate an extension of the loan,
the Local Partnership filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings to avert
foreclosure. A plan of reorganization for the Local Partnership (the
"Plan") was approved by the bankruptcy court on December 16, 1996. Under
the Plan, the existing loan in the principal amount of $2,890,000, at an
interest rate of 10%, was reduced to $2,100,000 with an interest rate of
9%. In exchange, the lender received one-third of NTCP's local
partnership interest, including anticipated allocations of housing tax
credits in the amount of approximately $488,500. The property operated at
an occupancy level of 98% as of December 1998, and attained break-even
levels of operations during 1998 and 1997. As of December 31, 1998 and
1997, the Partnership's carrying value of the investment in the Meadows
Apartments was zero.
Glenark
Pursuant to the terms of a workout, dated January 11, 1995 (the
"Workout") agreed upon between the parties relating to the resolution of
an existing default under the first mortgage loan encumbering Glenark
Landing, annual payments of $42,800 for a five year term, totaling
$214,000, are due to the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance
Corporation (the "Lender").
The Partnership's investment in Glenark was zero at December 31, 1998
and 1997.

Holden Village & Ticino Apartments
Holden Village and Ticino Apartments, located in Seattle, Washington,
maintained average occupancy levels of 97% and 91%, respectively, and
have been experiencing operating deficits. The high cost of servicing the
debt was the largest contributing factor associated with the deficit
operations. In January 1998, NTCP was successful in negotiating an
interest rate reduction with the lender for each of the properties. Based
on the loan modifications, the operating performance of each property is
expected to improve. The Partnership's total investment in Holden Village
and Ticino Apartments of approximately $1,223,000 was written off in
1998.
Dynes Village
The Dynes Village Apartments complex is operating at a deficit and the
first mortgage loan encumbering the property was delinquent until it was
brought current by NTCP in November 1997. In addition, the property has
been audited by the IRS with respect to tenant qualifications performed
by the prior local operating general partner. The IRS has disqualified
all future housing tax credits based on what they consider non-compliance
by the prior local operating general partner. As a result, the
Partnership's investment in Dynes Village of $560,766 was written off
during 1997.
Blue Lake
Pursuant to the terms of a loan workout, dated March 25, 1995 (the
"Workout"), NTCP is required to contribute an additional $541,300 to the
local partnership over a ten year period. In exchange, the debt service
on the property is payable out of net cash flow. During 1998 and 1997,
approximately $62,000 and $63,000, respectively, was paid by NTCP to the
local partnership under the Workout (see Note 3). The Partnership's
investment in Blue Lake at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was zero.
Rose City
During 1997, the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department
("Department") inspected Rose City Village Limited Partnership's
compliance with the low-income housing credit provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code, and determined that the Partnership was not in compliance.
The Department filed Form 8823, Low-Income Housing Credit Agencies Report
of Noncompliance, with the Internal Revenue Service. Management believes
the instances of noncompliance are now corrected; however, as of the date
of this report, resolution of this matter by the Department and the
Internal Revenue Service is still outstanding. The effect, if any, of the
noncompliance on the financial statements of the Partnership cannot be
determined at this date. The Partnership's investment in Rose City at
December 31, 1998 was $532,337.

3. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE
Capital contributions payable represents approximately $70,000 due
annually, until paid in full, for the investment in the Blue Lake Local
Partnership. The capital contributions payable are unsecured and
non-interest bearing.
4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of the Limited
Partnership, the Partnership is obligated to the General Partner and the
Special Limited Partner for the following fees:
(a) An annual Partnership management fee in an annual amount equal to
0.5 percent of invested assets (as defined in the partnership
agreement) is payable to the General Partner and Special Limited
Partner. Partnership management fees expensed were $692,956 for
1998, 1997 and 1996. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, $5,420,677
and $4,727,721, respectively, was due the General Partner and
Special Limited Partner.
As of December 31, 1998, the fees and expenses due the General
Partner and Special Limited Partner exceeded the Partnership's
cash. The partners, during the forthcoming year, will not demand
payment of amounts due in excess of such cash or such that the
Partnership would not have sufficient operating cash; however,
the Partnership will remain liable for all such amounts.
(b) A property disposition fee is payable to the General Partner in
an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of the competitive
real estate commission that would have been charged by
unaffiliated third parties

4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
providing comparable services in the area where the apartment
complex is located, or (ii) 3 percent of the sales price received
in connection with the sale or disposition of the apartment
complex or local partnership interest, but in no event will the
property disposition fee and all amounts payable to unaffiliated
real estate brokers in connection with any such sale exceed in
the aggregate, the lesser of the competitive rate (as described
above) or 6 percent of such sale price. Receipt of the property
disposition fee will be subordinated to the distribution of sale
or refinancing proceeds by the Partnership until the limited
partners have received distributions from sale or refinancing
proceeds in an aggregate amount equal to (i) their 10 percent
priority return for any year not theretofore satisfied (as
defined in the partnership agreement) and (ii) an amount equal to
the aggregate adjusted investment (as defined in the partnership
agreement) of the limited partners. No disposition fees have been
paid.
(c) The Partnership reimburses certain expenses to the General
Partner. The reimbursement due to the General Partner was $0,
$38,544 and $36,744 during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
included in general and administrative expenses.
NTC is the Local Operating General Partner in sixteen of the
Partnership's 31 Local Partnerships. In addition, NTC is either a
special limited partner or a non-managing, administrative general
partner in each Local Partnership.
An affiliate of the General Partner is responsible for the on-site
property management for two Local Partnerships (Note 2). The Local
Partnerships paid the affiliate property management fees of $59,249,
$67,157 and $65,049 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
5. INCOME TAXES
No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying
financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the liability of the
individual partners. The major differences in tax and financial
statement losses result from the use of different bases and depreciation
methods for the properties held by the Local Partnerships. Additional
differences in tax and financial losses arises when financial statement
losses are not recognized after the investment balance has been reduced
to zero or to a negative amount equal to further capital contributions
required.
6. CONTINGENCIES
The General Partner of the Partnership is a plaintiff in various
lawsuits and has also been named as a defendant in other lawsuits
arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In
addition, the Partnership is involved in several suits. In the opinion
of management and the General Partner, the claims will not result in any
material liability to the Partnership (Note 2).
The Partnership has assessed the potential impact of the Year 2000
computer systems issue on its operations. The Partnership believes that
no significant actions are required to be taken by the Partnership to
address the issue and that the impact of the Year 2000 computer systems
issue will not materially affect the Partnership's future operating
results or financial condition.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments, when it is practicable to
estimate that value. The operations generated by the investee limited
partnerships, which account for the Partnership's primary source of
funds, are subject to various government rules, regulations and
restrictions which make it impracticable to estimate the fair value of
the accrued fees due to partners. The carrying amount of other assets
and liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require such
disclosure approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.
8. FOURTH-QUARTER ADJUSTMENT
The Partnership's policy is to record its equity in the loss of limited
partnerships on a quarterly basis using estimated financial information
furnished by the various local operating general partners. The equity in
loss reflected in the accompanying annual financial statements is based
primarily upon audited financial statements of the investee limited
partnerships. The increase, in equity in loss of approximately
$988,000, between the estimated nine-month equity in loss and the
actual 1998 year end equity in loss has been recorded in the fourth
quarter.
