Item 1. Business
 
General
 
   Prudential-Bache Tax Credit Properties L.P. (the ``Registrant''), a Delaware
limited partnership, was formed on May 3, 1989 and will terminate on December
31, 2029 unless terminated sooner under the provisions of the Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the ``Partnership Agreement''). The
Registrant was formed to invest in low-income, multi-family residential
complexes (``Apartment Complexes'' or ``Properties'') and, to a lesser extent,
in historic apartment complexes undergoing rehabilitation (``Historic
Complexes'' or ``Properties'') through the acquisition of interests (the ``Local
Partnership Interests'') in local partnerships (the ``Local Partnerships'') that
are the owners of the Property. These investments were made with proceeds from
the initial sale of 38,125 Beneficial Unit Certificates (``BUC$''). The
Registrant's fiscal year for tax and financial reporting purposes ends on
December 31 and March 31, respectively.
 
   The primary objectives of the Registrant are to provide the limited partners
with low-income housing tax credits allowed under Section 42 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (``Housing Tax Credits'') over the credit
period for each Property in which the Registrant has invested and to a lesser
extent, historic rehabilitation tax credits allowed under Section 48(g) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Registrant invested only in Local
Partnerships that owned Properties which qualified for Housing Tax Credits. No
properties were acquired from any entity in which Prudential-Bache Properties,
Inc. or any affiliate had an interest. The Registrant's investments are composed
of limited partnership interests in Local Partnerships owning then newly
constructed or existing structures that have undergone substantial
rehabilitation. The Local Partnerships in which the Registrant has invested must
be operated in accordance with the low-income housing rules and regulations to
protect the related tax credits. It is not expected that any of the Local
Partnerships in which the Registrant has invested will generate any significant
cash flow to provide distributions to the limited partners.
 
   The Registrant expects that in order to avoid recapture of Housing Tax
Credits, its holding period with respect to each Local Partnership Interest will
be at least as long as the 15-year compliance period and may be substantially
longer.
 
   Each Property in which the Registrant invested is substantially mortgaged.
However, the aggregate indebtedness did not exceed 85% of the appraised fair
market value of any Property at the time of acquisition. The first mortgage
financing encumbering the Properties was arranged by the general partner of the
Local Partnership (the ``Local General Partner'') owning the Properties prior to
the time the Registrant became a limited partner therein.
 
   The Registrant acquired its Local Partnership Interest in each Local
Partnership by purchasing it directly from the existing limited and/or general
partner of the Local Partnership. In each of the Registrant's investments, the
Local General Partner of the Local Partnership owning the complex was required
to provide personal guarantees and/or establish cash escrows, financial bonds
and/or letters of credit to protect the Registrant against, among other things,
the failure to meet certain operating criteria.
 
   The Registrant is engaged solely in the business of investing in Local
Partnerships that own Properties; therefore, presentation of industry segment
information is not applicable. For more information regarding the Properties,
see Item 2 Properties. For more information regarding the Registrant's
operations, see Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
 
   One Property had rental income which exceeded 15% of the Registrant's total
revenue. Rental income from Palm Beach Apartments Ltd. (``Summer Creek Villas'')
as a percentage of the Registrant's total revenue was 47.5%, 47.9% and 46.2%
during the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
   No single tenant accounted for 10% or more of the Registrant's total revenue
for any of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1996.
 
                                       3

General Partner
 
   The general partner of the Registrant is Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc.
(the ``General Partner'' or ``PBP''). P.B. Tax Credit S.L.P. (``PBSLP''), an
affiliate of the General Partner, acts as Special Limited Partner of each Local
Partnership, entitling it to certain rights with respect to the operation and
management of each Local Partnership.
 
Competition
 
   The General Partner has formed various entities to engage in businesses which
may be competitive with the Registrant.
 
   The Registrant's business is affected by competition to the extent that the
underlying Properties from which it derives tax credits may be subject to
competition relating to rental rates and amenities from comparable neighboring
properties.
 
Employees
 
   The Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services for
the Registrant are performed by the General Partner and its affiliates pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement. See Notes C and F to the consolidated financial
statements in the Registrant's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year
ended March 31, 1996 (``Registrant's Annual Report'') which is filed as an
exhibit hereto.
 
Pending Legislation
 
   The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (``HUD'')
recently released a proposal entitled the American Community Partnerships Act
(the ``ACPA''). The ACPA is HUD's blueprint for providing for the nation's
housing needs in an era of static or decreasing budget authority.
 
   Two key proposals in the ACPA are a discontinuation of project based Section
8 subsidy payments and an attendant reduction in debt on properties that were
supported by the Section 8 payments.
 
   The ACPA calls for a transition during which the project based Section 8
would be converted to a tenant based voucher system. Any Federal Housing
Administration insured debt would then be ``marked-to-market'', that is revalued
in light of the reduced income stream, if any.
 
   Several industry sources have already commented to HUD and Congress that in
the event the ACPA was fully enacted in its present form, the reduction in
mortgage indebtedness would be considered taxable income to limited partners.
Legislative relief has been proposed to exempt ``mark-to-market'' debt from
cancellation of indebtedness income treatment. Though HUD initially backed away
from the ``marked-to-market'' proposal, it has now been re-introduced as
``Portfolio Restructuring''.
 
   The Registrant currently holds interests in two Local Partnerships which
operate under Section 8 regulations (Diamond Street Venture and Brookland Park
Plaza L.P.). The ultimate effect of these proposals on the Registrant cannot be
determined at this time.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's BUC$ and Related Limited Partner Matters
 
   As of June 3, 1996, there were 2,269 holders of record owning 38,125 BUC$.
Additionally, the General Partner holds one BUC$. A significant secondary market
for BUC$ has not developed, and it is not expected that one will develop in the
future. There are also certain restrictions set forth in the Partnership
Agreement limiting the ability of a limited partner to transfer BUC$.
Consequently, holders of BUC$ may not be able to liquidate their investments in
the event of an emergency or for any other reason.
 
   There are no material restrictions upon the Registrant's present or future
ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement; however, the Registrant has paid no distributions from
operations or otherwise since inception. No distributions are anticipated in the
foreseeable future.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To The Partners of
Prudential-Bache Tax Credit Properties L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Prudential-Bache Tax Credit Properties L.P. and Subsidiaries as of March 31,
1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
partners' capital and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial
statements of the consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total
assets of $72,647,170 and $75,706,683 as of March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and total revenues of $9,783,912, $9,042,136 and $9,269,607 for
the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These statements
were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us,
and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the
consolidated subsidiaries, 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 consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated 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 the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Prudential-Bache Tax Credit
Properties L.P. and Subsidiaries at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                  PRUDENTIAL-BACHE TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P.
                            (a limited partnership)
                                AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
A. General
 
   Prudential-Bache Tax Credit Properties L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(the ``Partnership''), was formed on May 3, 1989, and will terminate on December
31, 2029, unless terminated sooner under the provisions of the Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the ``Partnership Agreement''). The
Partnership was formed to invest as a limited partner in other partnerships
(``Local Partnerships'' or ``Subsidiaries'') owning apartment complexes
(``Apartment Complexes'' or ``Properties'') that are eligible for the low-income
housing tax credit or the historic rehabilitation tax credit. The general
partner of the Partnership, Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. (the ``General
Partner'' or ``PBP''), is not affiliated with a general partner of any Local
Partnership (``Local General Partner''). P.B. Tax Credit S.L.P. (``PBSLP''), an
affiliate of the General Partner, acts as special limited partner of each Local
Partnership entitling it to certain rights with respect to the operation and
management of each Local Partnership. At March 31, 1996, the Partnership has
investments in eight Local Partnerships.
 
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of accounting and principles of consolidation
 
   The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis
of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the General Partner to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
   The financial statements of the Local Partnerships consolidated herein are
for the twelve month periods ended December 31. Intercompany transactions with
Local Partnerships are eliminated.
 
   Minority interest in local partnerships represents the minority partners'
share of the net assets of the Local Partnerships.
 
   Certain balances for prior years have been reclassified to conform with the
current year's financial statement presentation.

   Effective March 31, 1995, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (``SFAS'') No. 121, ``Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.'' Under SFAS No.
121, impairment of properties to be held and used is determined to exist when
estimated amounts recoverable through future operations on an undiscounted basis
are below the properties' carrying value. If a property is determined to be
impaired, it should be recorded at the lower of its carrying value or its
estimated fair value. The implementation of SFAS No. 121 resulted in a
$2,700,000 provision for loss on impairment of assets for the year ended March
31, 1995. No additional provision was required for the year ended March 31,
1996.
 
   The determination of estimated fair value is based, not only upon future cash
flows, which rely upon estimates and assumptions including expense growth,
occupancy and rental rates, but also upon market capitalization and discount
rates as well as other market indicators. The General Partner believes that the
estimates and assumptions used are appropriate in evaluating the carrying amount
of the Partnership's properties. However, changes in market conditions and
circumstances may occur in the near term which would cause these estimates and
assumptions to change, which, in turn, could cause the amounts ultimately
realized upon the sale or other disposition of the properties to differ
materially from their estimated fair value. Such changes may also require
write-downs in future years.
 
   The cost of buildings and improvements is depreciated using the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives which range from 27.5 to 40 years.

Cash and cash equivalents
 
   Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less which are carried at market value.
 
Cash and cash equivalents held in escrow
 
   Cash and cash equivalents held in escrow include restricted funds held for
payment of taxes and insurance, tenant security deposits and replacement
reserves.
 
Taxes
 
   The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any Federal or state
income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed
directly to the partners. The Partnership may be subject to other state and
local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax purposes, the
Partnership's year ends on December 31.
 
Profit and loss allocations/distributions
 
   Net income or loss is allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the
General Partner.
 
   Distributions of cash may be made in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement and, if made, are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the
General Partner. As of March 31, 1996, no distributions have been paid.
 
Operating deficit guaranties
 
   Pursuant to certain operating deficit guaranty agreements, Local General
Partners are required to fund operating deficits, as defined in the Local
Partnership agreements, incurred during the period commencing with the
break-even date, as defined in the Local Partnership agreements, and ending on
the third anniversary of the break-even date. These advances are non-interest
bearing.
 
Development deficit guaranties
 
   Pursuant to certain development deficit guaranty agreements, Local General
Partners were required to fund development deficits, as defined in the Local
Partnership Agreements, until the break-even date. These payments are not
repayable to the Local General Partner. During the year ended March 31, 1994,
approximately $484,000 was received under one such agreement and recorded as
other income. All of these agreements had terminated as of March 31, 1995.
 
C. Costs, Fees and Expenses
 
Deferred financing costs
 
   Deferred financing costs include amounts paid for services rendered in
arranging the financing for the Local Partnerships. These costs were capitalized
and are being amortized over the lives of the related debt. The accumulated
amortization as of March 31, 1996 and 1995 is $1,844,694 and $1,544,382,
respectively.
 
Organizational costs
 
   Costs incurred to organize the Partnership, including but not limited to
legal and accounting, are considered organizational costs. These costs have been
capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 60-month
period. The accumulated amortization as of March 31, 1996 and 1995 is $456,851
and $417,128, respectively.
 
Management fees
 
   The Partnership pays a management fee to the property managers and the
General Partner.
 
   Each individual property has a managing agent who performs the necessary
functions in operating the property. The property management fee is equal to a
percentage of the annual gross revenues of a property paid in consideration of
the property management services provided (See Note G).
 
   The General Partner is entitled to receive a management fee, payable from
operations and reserves, in an amount not to exceed the difference between .5%
per annum of Invested Assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and the
local administrative fee payable to PBSLP. This management fee is for

                                       20
<PAGE>

administering the affairs of the Partnership (See Note F). Unpaid portions of
the management fee for any year accrue without interest.
 
General and administrative
 
   The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and its affiliates for actual
Partnership operating expenses payable by or allocable to the Partnership (See
Note F). The Partnership also pays amounts directly to unrelated third parties
for certain operating expenses.

and improvements and leases related thereto. Annual principal payment
requirements for each of the next five years ending December 31, the date at
which the Local Partnerships are consolidated, and thereafter are as follows:

</TABLE>
 
   Mortgage notes consist of both first mortgages and support loans (second and
third mortgages). First mortgages amounting to $41,438,992 bear interest at
rates ranging from 6.25% to 10.75% and have final

                                       21
<PAGE>

maturities ranging from September 1, 2006 to May 1, 2031. First mortgages
include $26,750,000 in the form of a guaranteed bond bearing interest at 10.451%
(including a .375% service fee payable to an affiliate of the Local General
Partner) maturing on June 20, 2008. The support loans include two loans
totalling $2,440,000 maturing on May 1, 2016 and December 15, 2029, the latter
of which bears interest at 1%, and the former being non-interest bearing, and a
$2,500,000 loan bearing interest at a maximum rate of 9% and maturing on January
16, 2005. The $2,500,000 loan includes a base interest rate of 3% and an
additional interest rate of 6%. The base interest rate is payable annually from
Project Income, as defined in the loan agreement, and can be deferred if Project
Income is inadequate. The additional interest is payable from Project Income, if
available, and only after payment of a cumulative annual 12% return on capital
to the limited partners of the Local Partnership. Currently, only the base
interest rate is being paid; however, the additional interest of 6% continues to
be accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
   At March 31, 1996, the estimated fair value of the mortgage notes payable was
approximately $53,000,000. These estimates are based upon the present value of
expected cash flows discounted at rates currently available to the Local
Partnerships for similar loans. Fair value estimates are made at a specific
point in time, based on relevant market information and are subjective in nature
and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Accordingly, the
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
the Local Partnerships would pay upon the maturity or disposition of the loans.

   A portion of the management fees paid to the General Partner is remitted to
an affiliate of the Local General Partner of five of the Local Partnerships. The
General Partner deferred its management fee as of January 1, 1995; therefore,
$345,360 is included in due to General Partner and affiliates as of March 31,
1996.
 
   PBSLP acts as a special limited partner of each Local Partnership and is
entitled to receive up to $2,750 per year from each Local Partnership as a local
administrative fee. For each of the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
$15,250 in fees were incurred; however, no fees have been paid to date.
 
   The Partnership maintains an account with the Prudential Tax Free Money Fund,
an affiliate of PBP, for investment of its available cash in short-term
instruments.

   Due to general partners and affiliates of local partnerships includes amounts
payable for accrued interest, advances, property management fees and operating
loans made in accordance with operating deficit guaranty agreements. During the
year ended March 31, 1996, Summer Creek Villas received from its Local General
Partner a $255,000 operating deficit guaranty payment as well as a $100,000
working capital advance. The Local General Partner elected to treat the
operating deficit guaranty payment as non-repayable and recorded the amount as
other income. The $100,000 working capital advance was recorded as due to
general partners and affiliates of local partnerships. During the year ended
March 31, 1995, $733,132 was received under these operating deficit guaranty
agreements and recorded as due to general partners and affiliates of local
partnerships. As of March 31, 1996, two properties were still subject to an
operating deficit guaranty.
 
   At March 31, 1996 and 1995, construction costs of $605,358 were payable to an
affiliate of one of the Local General Partners.
 
   At March 31, 1996 and 1995, development fees of $1,579,709 were payable to
various Local General Partners.
 
H. Damage from Hurricane Andrew
 
   On August 24, 1992, Cutler Canal II (``Cutler''), a property located in
Miami, Florida, suffered substantial damage from Hurricane Andrew which caused
normal rent operations to cease as of that date.
 
   Cutler was rebuilt with insurance proceeds totalling approximately
$5,396,000. These proceeds were placed in an escrow account controlled by the
first mortgage holder and paid to the construction contractor, an affiliate of
the Local General Partner, during reconstruction.
 
   In addition, Cutler was covered by business interruption insurance which
provided for reimbursement of operating costs plus a normal operating profit
margin during the reconstruction period. During the year ended March 31, 1994,
approximately $405,000 was recognized as other income under this coverage.
Reconstruction was completed by August 1993 and occupancies have stabilized.
 
I. Contingencies
 
   By order of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation dated April 14,
1994, a number of purported class actions then pending in various federal
district courts were transferred to a single judge of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York and consolidated for pretrial
proceedings under the caption In re Prudential Securities Incorporated Limited
Partnerships Litigation (MDL Docket 1005). On June 8, 1994, plaintiffs in the
transferred cases filed a complaint that consolidated the previously filed
complaints and named as defendants, among others, PSI, certain of its present
and former employees and PBP. The Partnership was not named a defendant in the
consolidated complaint, but the name of the Partnership was listed as being
among the limited partnerships at issue in the case.
 
   On August 9, 1995, PBP, PSI and other Prudential defendants entered into a
Stipulation and Agreement of Partial Compromise and Settlement with legal
counsel representing plaintiffs in the consolidated actions. The court
preliminarily approved the settlement agreement by order dated August 29, 1995
and, following a hearing held November 17, 1995, found that the agreement was
fair, reasonable, adequate and in the best interests of the plaintiff class. The
court gave final approval to the settlement, certified a class of purchasers of
specific limited partnerships, including the Partnership, released all settled
claims by members of the class against the PSI settling defendants and
permanently barred and enjoined class members from

                                       23

instituting, commencing or prosecuting any settled claim against the released
parties. The full amount due under the settlement agreement has been paid by
PSI.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   Prudential-Bache Tax Credit Properties L.P. (the ``Partnership'') invested in
eight Local Partnerships that are owners of low-income multi-family residential
complexes. The Local Partnerships are operated in accordance with the low-income
housing rules and regulations in order to protect the related tax credits. The
Partnership's primary sources of funds are rental revenues (which are fully
utilized at the property level) and, to a lesser extent, interest earned on
working capital reserves. A working capital reserve (approximately $210,000 at
March 31, 1996) is maintained to fund operations and contingencies of the
Partnership. The working capital reserve is invested in a tax-free money fund.
Based on the current level of the Partnership's working capital reserve, the
General Partner has deferred the collection of its management fee commencing
with the three month period ended March 31, 1995.
 
   At the Local Partnership level, some Local General Partners and/or their
affiliates have made guaranties with respect to the Local Partnerships which,
under certain circumstances, require their funding cash flow deficits pursuant
to deficit guaranty agreements, the majority of which are unsecured. The Local
Partnerships have received funds from the Papillion Heights, Hubbard's Ridge,
Hill Top Homes and Summer Creek Villas Local General Partners under these
agreements.
 
   The Local Partnerships have generated net operating income before debt
service of approximately $4,914,000, $4,043,000 and $3,766,000 for each of the
three years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Debt service
payments (interest and principal) made during the same periods approximated
$4,477,000, $4,303,000 and $4,265,000, respectively. The Local Partnerships
received approximately $255,000, $733,000 and $520,000 from operating deficit
and development deficit guarantees during each respective year.
 
   During the year ended March 31, 1996, Summer Creek Villas received from its
Local General Partner a $255,000 operating deficit guaranty payment as well as a
$100,000 working capital advance. The Local General Partner elected to treat the
operating deficit guaranty payment as non-repayable and recorded the amount as
other income. In addition, Brookland Park Plaza currently has a loan outstanding
for $618,000 with the Virginia Housing Development Authority. This loan is
non-interest bearing and is forgiven at the rate of 25% per year commencing with
the year ended March 31, 1996, assuming that the Local Partnership complies with
all conditions as set forth in the loan agreement. Accordingly, $155,000 was
recorded as other income for the year ended March 31, 1996. Cutler Canal II
fully repaid the advance previously received from the Local General Partner with
a payment of $110,000 during the year ended March 31, 1995 offset by an
additional loan for Papillion Heights for $4,000. For the year ended March 31,
1994, Cutler Canal II and Summer Creek Villas repaid advances and Hill Top Homes
took an additional loan.
 
Results of Operations
 
   The operating results of the Local Partnerships consolidated herein are for
the twelve month periods ended December 31. Information disclosed below with
respect to each Local Partnership is consistent with this method.
 
Fiscal 1996 vs. Fiscal 1995
 
   Rental income increased $362,000 for the year ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995 primarily due to increases of $221,000 and
$33,000 at Summer Creek Villas and Hubbard's Ridge, respectively, as a result of
higher rental rates. Additionally, rental income at Hill Top Homes increased
$69,000 as a result of higher average occupancies.
 
   Other income increased $372,000 for the year ended March 31, 1996 as compared
to the same period in 1995. For an explanation of the variance, see the
Liquidity and Capital Resources section.
 
   Operating expenses increased $63,000 for the year ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995 primarily due to increases in utilities and
bad debt expense at Hill Top Homes.

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
   Repairs and maintenance expense decreased $97,000 for the year ended March
31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 primarily due to lower property
maintenance and carpet replacement expenses at Summer Creek Villas of $133,000
partially offset by an increase of $42,000 at Hill Top Homes primarily as a
result of carpet replacement costs.
 
   General and administrative expenses decreased $49,000 for the year ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 primarily due to lower
professional fees at Summer Creek Villas.
 
   Partnership management fees decreased $82,000 for the year ended March 31,
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 as a result of a reversal of an
accrual from prior periods.
 
Fiscal 1995 vs. Fiscal 1994
 
   Rental income increased $603,000 for the year ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994. This variance was primarily due to an
increase of $469,000 at Cutler Canal II resulting from a full year of rental
activities and an increase of $101,000 at Hubbard's Ridge as a result of higher
occupancies and rental rates. The hurricane damage at Cutler Canal II affected
rental operations through August 1993. See Note H to the consolidated financial
statements for additional information.
 
   Other income decreased $804,000 for the year ended March 31, 1995 as compared
to the same period in 1994. This decrease was primarily due to the $484,000
development deficit guaranty payment from Summer Creek Villas and $405,000 of
business interruption insurance proceeds from Cutler Canal II received during
1994. As previously discussed, Cutler Canal II recorded rental income from a
full year of operations during 1995.
 
   Interest income decreased $28,000 for the year ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994 due to lower average cash balances and the
non-recurring interest earned on cash for reconstruction at Cutler Canal II in
1994.
 
   Operating expenses decreased $366,000 for the year ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994 primarily due to the decrease in marketing
and advertising expenses at Summer Creek Villas and Cutler Canal II. A
non-recurring marketing effort was made during the prior year at Summer Creek
Villas to improve occupancies. Additionally, increased marketing costs were
incurred during 1994 at Cutler Canal II to restore occupancies to those before
Hurricane Andrew. Professional fees at Cutler Canal II, Hill Top Homes and
Summer Creek Villas decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994.
 
   Taxes and insurance increased $131,000 for the year ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994. This variance was due to an insurance rate
increase at Cutler Canal II and Summer Creek Villas and higher taxes at Cutler
Canal II due to resumption of operations. This increase was offset by decreases
at Hubbard's Ridge and Hill Top Homes due to lower insurance rates and lower
real estate taxes resulting from successful appeals of the assessed property
values.
 
   Repairs and maintenance increased $156,000 for the year ended March 31, 1995
as compared to the same period in 1994. This increase was primarily due to
carpet cleaning and general property maintenance at Summer Creek Villas and
Cutler Canal II.
 
   A provision for loss on impairment of assets of $2,700,000 was recorded as of
March 31, 1995 relating to the Partnership's investment in Diamond Street. See
Notes B and D to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information.
