(consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the financial position of Patriot Tax Credit Properties L.P. (the "Partnership")
as of June 30, 2000 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. 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

herein are for the three month period ended March 31, and occupancy rates are as
of March 31.

Prior to October 1, 1997, the general partner of the Partnership was Prudential
Bache Properties, Inc. ("PBP") since 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.

(a) A management fee for managing the affairs of the Partnership equal to 0.375%
of invested assets is payable from operations and reserves to the General
Partner and its affiliates. Partnership management fees owed to the General
Partner amounting to approximately $562,000 and $503,000 were accrued and unpaid
as of June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000, respectively. Without the General
Partner's continued accrual without payment of certain fees and expense
reimbursements, the Partnership will not be in a position to meet its financial
obligations. The General Partner has continued allowing the accrual without
payment of these amounts but is under no obligation to continue do so.

At June 30, 2000, the properties owned by five of the Local Partnerships are
managed by a Local General Partner or its affiliates.

During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the General Partner and its
affiliates advanced approximately $780,000 to the Partnership and as

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. Without the
General Partner's continued accrual without payment of certain fees and expense
reimbursements, the Partnership will not be in a position to meet its
obligations. The General Partner has continued allowing the accrual without
payment of these amounts but is under no obligation to continue do so.

SUMMER CREEK VILLAS LOCAL PARTNERSHIP ("SUMMER CREEK VILLAS")
The Summer Creek Villas has experienced significant declining occupancy levels
over the course of the last few years, which has resulted in recurring losses
from operations and has adversely affected the liquidity of Summer Creek Villas.
In addition to the decline in occupancy levels, Summer Creek Villas' operations
are further impeded by the inability to raise rents sufficiently to pay for the
increase in operating costs. Summer Creek Villas has been unable to obtain
maximum rents due to the competitive market and the fact that the rents in the
surrounding area are at market rate, competitive to the Project. This problem is
further compounded by the increased costs in marketing the property to
effectively compete in the sub market. Further, rent levels are restricted based
on county median income levels, which limit the maximum income that a
prospective resident can earn and maximum rents that the Project is allowed to
charge. The Summer Creek Villas has been obligated, since 1996 to repay
significant amounts of principal on its mortgage.

During the three months ended June 30, 2000, in an effort to improve occupancy,
the Summer Creek Villas invested approximately $697,000 to improve the physical
condition of the property. Such improvements primarily consisted of painting and
pressure cleaning of roofs, landscaping, and individual unit upgrades. As of
July 2, 2000, occupancy has increased to 89%.


                                       12

<PAGE>

Effective January 1, 1999, Summer Creek Villas entered into a funding agreement
with its Class C local limited partner which provides for a series of loans to
be made to Summer Creek Villas in each of the years 2000, 2001 and 2002, in
amounts not to exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate. Although no formal agreements
have been reached with the other partners, additional loans from the Partnership
(the Class A limited partnership) are expected to be obtained in accordance with
the loans to be provided under the funding agreement. Total loans made through
June 30, 2000 to fund operating deficits total $3,916,761 which comprise;
$3,216,761 from the Partnership which was eliminated in consolidation and
$700,000 from the Class C local limited partner. Management expects to obtain
additional funding from the partners in the coming two years.

These loans, if obtained, are expected to enable the Summer Creek Villas to
continue operations and make payments on its mortgage while management endeavors
to improve occupancy rates and rental rates to sufficient levels to sustain
operations independent of such funding.

The Local General Partner has been considering the possibility of restructuring
the Summer Creek Villas' debt, however, as of June 30, 2000, no definitive
agreements have been reached. Additionally, the Summer Creek Villas expects that
the anticipated project shortfall in 2001 will be approximately $2,000,000.
Loans from the Funding Agreement will be used to pay for approved expenditures
and shortfalls.

Summer Creek Villas' ability to continue its operations is dependent upon
management achieving the plans described in the foregoing paragraphs. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Any adjustments would be
limited solely to this subsidiary's financial statements included herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The operating results of the Local Partnerships consolidated herein are for the
three months periods ended June 30, 2000. Information disclosed below with
respect to each Local Partnership is consistent with this method of
presentation.

Rental income increased approximately $23,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1999, primarily due to
rental rate increases.

Other income increased approximately $38,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1999


                                       13

<PAGE>

due to a increase in application fees, termination fees and tenant damage fees
received at Summer Creek Villas.

Interest income increased approximately $4,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1999 due to an increase in
escrow balances at two Local Partnerships.

Operating and Other decreased approximately $24,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 as compared to corresponding period in 1999 due to decrease in
water and sewer charges at Summer Creek Villas.

Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $275,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1999 primarily
due to the rehabilitation of apartments at Summer Creek Villas.

(Occupancies are calculated by dividing occupied units by total available

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.
Summer Creek Villas experienced a 7% decrease in occupancy rate for the three
month period ended June 30, 2000 as compared with the corresponding period in
1999. This


                                       14

decrease was primarily due to an increase in evictions necessary to stabilize
the tenant profile of the property. Other than Summer Creek Villas, none of the
above properties experienced significant decreases in occupancy rates.
