PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
- -------
Patriot 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 Properties. These investments were made with proceeds from the initial
sale of 38,125 Beneficial Unit Certificates ("BUC$"). The Registrant's fiscal
year for tax and financial reporting purposes ends on December 31 and March 31,
respectively.
The primary objectives of the Registrant are to provide the limited partners
with low-income housing tax credits allowed under Section 42 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Housing Tax Credits") over the credit period
for each Property in which the Registrant has invested and to a lesser extent,
10-year historic rehabilitation tax credits allowed under Section 48(g) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Registrant invested only in Local
Partnerships that owned Properties which qualified for Housing Tax Credits. No
properties were acquired from any entity in which Prudential-Bache Properties,
Inc. (the former general partner) or any affiliate had an interest. The
Registrant's investments are composed of limited partnership interests in Local
Partnerships owning then newly constructed or existing structures that had
undergone substantial rehabilitation. The Local Partnerships in which the
Registrant has invested must be operated in accordance with the low-income
housing rules and regulations to protect the related tax credits. It is not
expected that any of the Local Partnerships in which the Registrant has invested
will generate any significant cash flow from operations to provide distributions
to the holders of BUC$ ("BUC$ holders") or 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.
The Partnership generated $0, $126,188 and $1,814,136 in Tax Credits during the
years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. As of December 31,
2002 all the Local Partnerships completed their tax credit periods and the
Partnership has met its primary objective of generating Housing Tax Credits for
qualified BUC$ holders. However, each Local Partnership must continue to comply
with the Housing Tax Credit requirements until the end of the compliance period
in order to avoid recapture of the Housing Tax Credits. The compliance period
will end at various dates through December 31, 2007 with respect to the
Properties depending upon when the Housing Tax Credit Period commenced.
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
2
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. All of these guarantees and
escrows have expired.
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 income which exceeded 15% of the Registrant's total revenue in
each of the three years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. Income from Palm
Beach Apartments Ltd. ("Summer Creek Villas") as a percentage of the
Registrant's total revenue was 55.31%, 52.10%, and 50.89% and during the years
ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, 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, 2004.
General Partner
- ---------------
The general partner of the Registrant is RCC Partners 96 L.L.C. (the "General
Partner") and is an affiliate of Related Capital Company ("RCC"). Independence
SLP L.P. ("SLP"), an affiliate of RCC, is the special limited partner. On
November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired RCC, which is the indirect parent of RCC
Manager L.L.C., the managing member of the General Partner. Pursuant to the
acquisition, CharterMac acquired controlling interests in the General Partner.
This acquisition did not affect the Registrant or its day-to-day operations, as
the majority of the General Partner's management team remained unchanged.
Segments
- --------
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. The Registrant operates in one segment, which is
the investment in multi-family residential property.
Competition
- -----------
The General Partner has formed various entities to engage in businesses that 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 Part III and Notes 1, 3 and 6 to the consolidated
financial statements set forth in Item 8.
The Local Partnerships are impacted by inflation in several ways. Inflation
allows for increases in rental rates generally to reflect the impact of higher
operating and replacement costs. Furthermore, inflation generally does not
impact the fixed long-term financing under which real property investments were
purchased. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships adversely by increasing
operating costs, such as fuel, utilities, and labor.

PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's BUC$ and Related Limited Partner Matters
As of May 10, 2004, there were 2,233 BUC$ holders of record owning a total of
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$.
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.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Registrant 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 of Section 42 of the
Internal Revenue Code in order to protect the Housing Tax Credits. The
Registrant's primary source of funds is rental revenues, which are fully
utilized at the property level. As of March 31, 2004, there was approximately
$275,000 in working capital reserves available to fund Registrant level
expenses. The Registrant is dependent upon the support of the General Partner
and certain of its affiliates in order to meet its obligations at the Registrant
level. The General Partner and these affiliates have agreed to continue such
support for the foreseeable future.
At the Local Partnership level, certain Local General Partners and/or their
affiliates have made deficit guaranty agreements with respect to the Local
Partnerships which, under certain circumstances, required the Local General
Partners and/or their affiliates to fund cash flow deficits. These operating
deficit advances do not bear interest and are repayable by the Local Partnership
in accordance with the respective deficit guaranty agreements. In addition, the
Registrant's financial statements as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 also reflect
payables of $426,961 and $282,000, respectively, under operating deficit
guaranty agreements at Hill Top Homes, which have expired. As of March 31, 2004,
all operating deficit guaranty agreements have expired.
Summer Creek Villas Local Partnership
- -------------------------------------
The Summer Creek Villas has experienced lower than expected economic occupancy
levels over the course of the last several years, which has resulted in
recurring losses from operations and has adversely affected the liquidity of
Summer Creek Villas. Despite an increase in rent levels during 2003 and 2002,
Summer Creek Villas' operations are impeded by the inability to raise rents
sufficiently to pay for the operating and debt costs. Summer Creek Villas has
been unable to obtain maximum rents as potential residents are restricted based
on county median income levels, which limit the maximum income that a
prospective resident can earn. The Summer Creek Villas has been obligated, since
1996, to repay significant amounts of principal on its mortgage.
During 2002, in an effort to improve occupancy, the Summer Creek Villas invested
funds to improve the physical condition of the property. Such improvements
primarily consisted of painting, landscaping, new playgrounds, and individual
units fixture and finish replacements.
The Local General Partner of Summer Creek Villas was formerly obligated to fund
operating deficits under two separate operating deficit guaranty agreements.
Total advances made by the Local General Partner under the operating deficit
guaranties totaled $2,742,460. In addition, the Local General Partner has made
voluntary loans in excess of its obligations under the guaranties to fund
operations of $1,645,074, even though as of December 31, 1997, the Local General
Partner was no longer required to fund operations of Summer Creek Villas.
Effective January 1, 1999, Summer Creek Villas entered into a funding agreement
with Palm Beach Investor, L.P. (the Class C limited partner) which provided for
a series of loans to be made to Summer Creek Villas in each of the years 1999,
2000 and 2001, in amounts not to exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate. On
September 9, 2002, Summer Creek Villas entered into a second funding agreement
with the Class C limited partner which provides for a second series of loans to
Summer Creek Villas in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004, in an amount not to exceed
$1,500,000 in aggregate. Although no formal agreements have been reached with
the other partners, additional loans from the Registrant (which is the Class A
limited partner) are expected to be obtained in accordance with the loans to be
provided under the funding agreement. Loans made in 2003 and 2002 under these
funding agreements to fund operating deficit's total $2,418,647 and $3,137,720,
respectively. Of such amounts, $1,913,331 and $2,409,305 were loaned by the
Registrant in 2003 and 2002, respectively.
8
These loans 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.
During 2003 and 2002, the management agent, an affiliate of Summer Creek Villas,
was reimbursed by Summer Creek Villas for operating advances, made in the
current and prior years, in the form of unreimbursed payroll in the net amount
of $720,678. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the management agent was due
$122,649 and $491,988, respectively. The management agent is not obligated to
provide such advances.
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 Summer Creek Villas' financial statements.
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 2004 vs. Fiscal 2003
- ---------------------------
Rental income decreased approximately $97,000 for the year ended March 31, 2004
as compared to 2003 primarily due to a decrease in occupancy at three Local
Partnerships.
Interest income decreased approximately $4,000 for the year ended March 31, 2004
as compared to 2003 primarily due to lower cash and cash equivalent balances
earning interest at the Local Partnership and Registrant level.
Fiscal 2003 vs. Fiscal 2002
- ---------------------------
Rental income increased approximately $443,000 for the year ended March 31, 2003
as compared to 2002, primarily due to rental rate increases.
Interest income decreased approximately $22,000 for the year ended March 31,
2003 as compared to 2002, primarily due to lower interest rates on cash and cash
equivalent balances at the Local Partnerships and Registrant level.
Taxes and insurance increased approximately $216,000 for the year ended March
31, 2003 as compared to 2002, primarily due to an increase in insurance premiums
at the Local Partnerships.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
- ------------------------------
The Partnership has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
- -----------------------------
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
accounting estimate considered critical by the Registrant.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
- -------------------------------
The Registrant is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived
assets, which is primarily property and equipment. If impairment indicators are
present, the Registrant must measure the fair value of the assets in accordance
with Statement of Financial Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." to determine if adjustments are to be recorded.
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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").
FIN 46 is applicable immediately for variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created before February 1,
2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are applicable no later than December 15, 2003.
The Partnership has not created any variable interest entities after January 31,
2003. In December 2003, the FASB redeliberated certain proposed modifications
and revised FIN 46 ("FIN 46 (R)"). The revised provisions are applicable no
later than the first reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption
of FIN 46 (R) is not intended to have a material impact on the Registrant's
financial reporting and disclosure.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous
guidance, could be classified as equity or "mezzanine" equity, by now requiring
those instruments to be classified as liabilities ( or assets in some
circumstances) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, SFAS No. 150
10
requires disclosure regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement
alternatives. The guidance in SFAS No. 150 generally was effective for all
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was
otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after
June 15, 2003. The Registrant has evaluated SFAS No. 150 and determined that it
does not have an impact on the Registrant's financial reporting and disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
Patriot Tax Credit Properties L.P. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Patriot Tax
Credit Properties L.P. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' capital
(deficit) and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. The
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits. For the year ended March 31, 2004, we
did not audit the financial statements of certain investee partnerships which
represent $15,334,378 in total assets and $915,112 of the net loss as of and for
the year ended March 31, 2004. Those statements were audited by other auditors
whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates
to those investee partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other
auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Patriot Tax Credit Properties L.P.
and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their
operations, changes in Partners' capital (deficit), and their cash flows for the
years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our report on the 2004 financial statements of a subsidiary included an
explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raised substantial doubt
regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, as discussed in note 10 to
the consolidated financial statements.

Brookland Park Plaza Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Brookland Park Plaza Limited

partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Brookland Park Plaza Limited
Partnership as of December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations, the
changes in partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P.
(a limited partnership)
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004
NOTE 1 - General
Patriot 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 ("Tax Credit"). The general
partner of the Partnership is RCC Partners 96, L.L.C. (the "General Partner")
and is an affiliate of Related Capital Company ("RCC"). On November 17, 2003,
CharterMac acquired RCC, which is the indirect parent of RCC Manager L.L.C., the
managing member of the General Partner. Pursuant to the acquisition, CharterMac
acquired controlling interests in the General Partner. This acquisition did not
affect the Partnership or its day-to-day operations, as the majority of the
General Partner's management team remained unchanged. Independence SLP L.P.
("SLP"), an affiliate of RCC, is the special limited partner. The SLP 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, 2004, the Partnership has investments in eight Local Partnerships.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) 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 accounting principle generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America
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 consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and
results of operations of the subsidiaries. All subsidiaries have fiscal years
ending December 31. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Minority interest in Local Partnerships represents the minority partners' share
of the net assets of the Local Partnerships.
b) Investment in Property
The 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 is recorded at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated
fair value.
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, and Tax Credits, but also upon market capitalization
36
PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P.
(a limited partnership)
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004
and discount rates as well as other market indicators. 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.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds whose cost approximates
market value.
d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Held in Escrow
Cash and cash equivalents held in escrow include restricted funds held for
payment of real estate taxes and insurance, tenant security deposits and
replacement reserves.
e) 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.
f) Profits and Loss Allocations/Distributions
Net income or loss is allocated 99.5% to the limited partners and .5% to the
General Partner.
Distributions of cash may be made in accordance with the Partnership Agreement
and, if made, are allocated 99.5% to the limited partners and .5% to the General
Partner. As of March 31, 2004, no distributions have been paid.
g) Rental Income
Rental income is recognized as rents become due. Rental payments received in
advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Partnership and the
tenants of the property are operating leases.
NOTE 3 - Costs, Fees and Expenses
a) 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, 2004 and 2003 is $4,019,979 and $3,716,137, respectively.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004
b) Management Fees
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 7).
The General Partner is entitled to receive a partnership management fee, payable
from operations and reserves, in an amount not to exceed the difference between
..375% per annum of Invested Assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and
the local administrative fee payable to the SLP. This partnership management fee
is for administering the affairs of the Partnership (See Note 6). Unpaid
portions of the management fee for any year accrue without interest.
c) 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 6). The Partnership also pays amounts directly to unrelated third parties
for certain operating expenses.

NOTE 5 - Mortgage Notes Payable
Mortgage notes are collateralized by land, buildings 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
reporting, and thereafter are as follows:
Amount
-----------
2004 $ 925,122

Thereafter 12,592,072
-----------
$44,697,118
===========
Mortgage notes consist of both first mortgages and support loans (second and
third mortgages). First mortgages amounting to $39,757,118 bear interest at
rates ranging from 5.83% to 10.5% and have final maturities ranging from
September 1, 2006 to May 1, 2031. First mortgages include $23,793,641 in the
form of a guaranteed bond bearing interest at 10.451% (including a .125% service
fee payable to an affiliate of the Local General Partner) maturing on June 20,
2008. The support loans include two loans totaling $2,440,000 maturing on
December 15, 2014 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.
In April 2003, Papillion Heights refinanced its outstanding mortgage note
payable in the amount of $958,143. The new mortgage in the amount of $1,197,500
is payable in monthly installments of $7,679 including interest at the rate of
5.95% per annum through March 17, 2008 with a balloon payment of approximately
$1,078,500 due April 17, 2008.
On December 28, 2001, Hubbard's Ridge refinanced its outstanding mortgage note
payable in the amount of $1,852,154. The new mortgage in the amount of
$4,600,000 is payable in monthly installments of $31,131 including interest at
the rate of 7.17% per annum through January 1, 2012, at which time the balance
will be due. Proceeds from the new mortgage were used to pay the prior mortgage
note payable, repay funds advanced from the Local General Partner and General
Partner, establish escrows, pay refinancing costs and the remaining cash was
available to the Partnership in the amount of approximately $1,955,000. The

Summer Creek Villas Local Partnership
- -------------------------------------
Summer Creek Villas has experienced lower than expected economic occupancy
levels over the course of the last several years, which has resulted in
recurring losses from operations and has adversely affected the liquidity of
Summer Creek Villas. Despite an increase in rent levels during 2003 and 2002,
Summer Creek Villas' operations are impeded by the inability to raise rents

sufficiently to pay for the operating and debt costs. Summer Creek Villas has
been unable to obtain maximum rents as potential residents are restricted based
on county median income levels, which limit the maximum income that a
prospective resident can earn. The Summer Creek Villas has been obligated, since
1996, to repay significant amounts of principal on its mortgage.
During 2002, in an effort to improve occupancy, Summer Creek Villas invested
funds to improve the physical condition of the property. Such improvements
primarily consisted of painting, landscaping, new playgrounds, and individual
units fixture and finish replacements.
The Local General Partner of Summer Creek Villas was formerly obligated to fund
operating deficits under two separate operating deficit guaranty agreements.
Total advances made by the Local General Partner under the operating deficit
guaranties totaled $2,742,460. In addition, the Local General Partner has made
voluntary loans in excess of its obligations under the guaranties to fund
operations of $1,645,074, even though as of December 31, 1997, the Local General
Partner was no longer required to fund operations of Summer Creek Villas.
Effective January 1, 1999, Summer Creek Villas entered into a funding agreement
with Palm Beach Investor, L.P. (the Class C limited partner) which provided for
a series of loans to be made to Summer Creek Villas in each of the years 1999,
2000 and 2001, in amounts not to exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate. On
September 9, 2002, Summer Creek Villas entered into a second funding agreement
with the Class C limited partner which provides for a second series of loans to
Summer Creek Villas in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004, in amount not to exceed
$1,500,000 in aggregate. Although no formal agreements have been reached with
the other partners, additional loans from the Partnership (which is the Class A
limited partner) are expected to be obtained in accordance with the loans to be
provided under the funding agreement. Loans made in 2003 and 2002 under these
funding agreements to fund operating deficit's total $2,418,647 and $3,137,720,
respectively. Of such amounts, $1,913,331 and $2,409,305 were loaned by the
Partnership in 2003 and 2002, respectively.
These loans 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.
During 2003 and 2002, the management agent, an affiliate of Summer Creek Villas,
was reimbursed by Summer Creek Villas for operating advances, made in the
current and prior years, in the form of unreimbursed payroll in the net amount
of $720,678. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the management agent was due
$122,649 and $491,988, respectively. The management agent is no
