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 December 31, 1998, the results of operations for the three
and nine months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows for the nine
months ended December 31, 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 nine month periods ended September 30, and occupancy rates
are as of September 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
have been 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 Partnership which, under certain
circumstances, requires the Local General Partner to fund 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 December 31,
1998, the entire obligation has been funded pursuant to this second guaranty. As
of December 31, 1998, the financial statements of the Partnership include
approximately $809,000 as "Due to general partners and affiliates of local
partnerships" for the two 

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

guaranty periods under the Summer Creek Villas operating deficit guaranty
agreement due to the three-month lag in recording 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 $2,476,000 and $2,515,000 for the nine months ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Debt service payments (principal and interest)
made during the same periods were $3,566,000 and $3,177,000, respectively.

Results of Operations

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

Rental income increased $220,000 and $328,000 for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997,
primarily due to an increase in occupancy at Summer Creek Villas.

Other income increased $92,000 and $158,000 for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997 due to an
increase in application and termination fees received at Summer Creek Villas for
screening new tenants.

Repairs and maintenance decreased $89,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997 primarily due to higher
general maintenance costs incurred in 1997 at Cutler Canal II, Hill Top Homes,
and Brookland Park Plaza.

General and administrative increased $200,000 and $441,000 for the three and
nine months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding periods in
1997 due to increases in marketing and legal expenses at Summer Creek Villas and
increased legal and administrative fees at the Partnership level.

Partnership management fees decreased $43,000 for the nine months ended December
31, 1998 as compared to the corre-

                                      -12-

sponding period in 1997 primarily due to a reduction of the fee 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
January 3, 1999, except for a decrease in the occupancy rate to 74% at Summer
Creek Villas due to the implementation of an aggressive lease management program
and slower leasing during the holiday period.

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 

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

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 costs incurred by the General Partners are not being
charged to the Partnership. 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 was 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 in early 1999, at which time the risks
will be addressed and a contingency plan will be implemented if necessary.
