Note 1 - General

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the
opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position of Patriot Tax Credit Properties L.P. (the
"Partnership") as of September 30, 1998, the results of operations for the three
and six months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows for the six
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. However, the operating results for the
interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended March 31, 1998.
Also, certain balances from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with
the current financial statement presentation.

The Partnership invests in partnerships (the "Local Partnerships") which own the
properties. The financial statements of the Local Partnerships consolidated
herein are for the six month periods ended June 30, and occupancy rates are as
of June 30.

Prior to October 1, 1997, the general partner of the Partnership was Prudential
Bache Properties, Inc. ("PBP") and commencing on October 1, 1997, the general
partner has been RCC Partners 96, L.L.C. (the "New GP"). PBP and the New GP are
sometimes referred to as the "General Partner" or "General Partners" as the
context requires.

Note 2 - Related Parties

During their respective ownership periods, the General Partners and their
affiliates have performed services for the Partnership which include, but are
not limited to: accounting and financial management, registrar, transfer and
assignment functions, asset management, investor communications, printing and
other administrative services. The General Partners and their affiliates receive
management fees and reimbursements for general and administrative costs incurred
in connection with these services, the amount of which is limited by the
provisions of the Partnership Agreement. In order to assist in the transition
from PBP to the New GP as General Partner, the New GP engaged PBP to perform
certain of the forgoing services and paid PBP from amounts which would otherwise
be payable to the New GP pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
These services terminated March 31, 1998. The costs and expenses incurred to the
General Partner were:

Item  2.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership invested in eight Local Partnerships that are owners of
affordable multi-family residential complexes. The Local Partnerships are
operated in accordance with the rules and regulations under Section 42 of the
Internal Revenue Code in order to protect the related tax credits. The
Partnership's primary source of funds is rental revenues which are fully
utilized at the property level. The Partnership is dependent upon the support of
the General Partner and certain of its affiliates in order to meet its
obligations at the Partnership level. The General Partner and these affiliates
have agreed to continue such support for the foreseeable future.

At the Local Partnership level, the Local General Partner at Papillion Heights
has made a guarantee with respect to the Local Partnerships which, under certain
circumstances, require their funding cash flow deficits pursuant to the deficit
guaranty agreement. These operating deficit advances do not bear interest and
are repayable by the Local Partnership in accordance with the respective Local
Partnership agreement. The Papillion Heights operating deficit guaranty
agreement is in effect until such date that the net operating income is
sufficient to cover 115% of the debt service for twelve consecutive months, as
defined. Of the $170,000 maximum funding obligation, $40,000 has been funded to
date.

The Summer Creek Villas Local Partnership continues to experience severe cash
flow deficits. The maximum funding obligation of the Local General Partner for
the initial guaranty period under the Summer Creek Villas operating deficit
guaranty agreement (which expired on December 31, 1996) was $3,392,000, of which
$2,742,000 was funded. Of the total funded, the Local General Partner has
elected to treat $1,933,000 as non-repayable advances. The Local General Partner
is also obligated to fund operating deficits during a second guaranty period
which commenced August 1996 and expires July 1999. The maximum funding
obligation during this second guaranty period is $924,000. Through September 30,
1998, the entire obligation has been funded pursuant to this second guaranty
period. As of September 30, 1998, the financial statements of the Partnership
include approximately $809,000 as "Due to general partners and affiliates of
local partnerships" for the two guaranty periods under the Summer Creek Villas
operating deficit guaranty agreement due to the three-month lag in re-


                                       10

cording the financial information of the Local Partnerships. The Local General
Partner is currently reviewing different alternatives to improve property cash
flow and reduce operating deficits. Also the management agent has been replaced
so as to implement a new strategy for increasing property performance.

The Local Partnerships have generated net operating income before debt service
and depreciation of $1,531,000 and $1,736,000 for the six months ended September
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Debt service payments (principal and interest)
made during the same periods were $2,289,000 and $2,282,000, respectively.

Management has been in contact with all the Local Partnerships in the southeast
region and does not anticipate any significant increases to repairs and
maintenance due to the effect of Hurricane georges on the portfolio.

Results of Operations

The operating results of the Local Partnerships consolidated herein are for the
six month periods ended June 30. Information disclosed below with respect to
each Local Partnership is consistent with this method of presentation.

Rental income increased $26,000 and decreased $79,000 for the three and six
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 1997. The increase for the three
months is primarily due to an increase in occupancy at Summer Creek Villas. The
decrease for the six months is primarily due to a decrease in occupancy at Hill
Top Homes partially offset by an increase in occupancy at Summer Creek Villas.

Other income increased $54,000 and $66,000 for the three and six months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to 1997 due to an increase in application and
termination fees received at Summer Creek Villas for screening new tenants.

Repairs and maintenance increased $196,000 and $192,000 for the three and six
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 1997 due to repavement of the
parking lot, carpet replacement, and landscaping performed at Summer Creek
Villas.

Partnership management fees decreased approximately $21,000 and $43,000 for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 1997 primarily due
to a reduction of the fee 


                                       11

for participating interest of the invested assets from 0.5% to 0.375% annually.

</TABLE>


(Occupancies are calculated by dividing occupied units by total available
units.)

The Partnership holds a 66.5% interest in Summer Creek Villas, a 98% interest in
Hubbard's Ridge, Hill Top Homes and Compton Townhouses and a 98.99% interest in
Cutler Canal II, Diamond Street, Papillion Heights and Brookland Park Plaza.
There were no significant changes in occupancies at the above properties as of
October 4, 1998, except for an increase in the occupancy rate to 92% at Hill Top
Homes and 100% at Diamond Street.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Partnership utilizes the computer services of an affiliate of the General
Partner. The affiliate of the General Partner is in the process of upgrading its
computer information systems to be year 2000 compliant and beyond. The Year 2000
compliance issue concerns the inability of a computerized system to accurately
record dates after 1999. The affiliate of the General Partner recently underwent
a conversion of its financial systems applications and is in the process of
upgrading and testing the in house software and hardware inventory. The
workstations that experienced problems from this process were corrected with an
upgrade patch. The affiliate of the General Partner has incurred costs of
approximately $1,000,000 to date and estimates the total costs to be
approximately $2,000,000. These costs are not being charged to the Part-


                                       12

nership. In regard to third parties, the Partnership's General Partner is in the
process of evaluating the potential adverse impact that could result from the
failure of material service providers to be year 2000 compliant. A detailed
survey and assessment of third party readiness will be sent to material third
parties in the fourth quarter of 1998. The results of the surveys will be
compiled in early 1999. No estimate can be made at this time as to the impact of
the readiness of such third parties. The Partnership's General Partner plans to
have these issues fully assessed by early 1999, at which time the risks will be
addressed and a contingency plan will be implemented if necessary.
