PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P.
(a limited partnership)
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2002
(Unaudited)

Note 1 - General

These consolidated financial statements have not been audited. 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 June 30, 2002 and the results of operations and its cash flows for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. However, the operating results and
cash flows 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, 2002.

The Partnership invests in partnerships (the "Local Partnerships") which own the
properties. The financial statements of the Local Partnerships consolidated
herein are for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 and occupancy rates
are as of March 31, 2002.


Note 2 - Related Parties

The General Partner and its affiliates have performed and will continue to
perform services for the Partnership which include, but are not limited to:
accounting and financial management; registrar, transfer and assignment
functions; asset management; investor communications; and printing and other
administrative services. The General Partner and its affiliates receive
Partnership 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. The costs and expenses incurred
to the General Partner were:

Partnership Management fees (a) $ 59,014 $ 59,014
Property Management fees 26,338 24,949
Local administrative fees 5,062 5,062
General and administrative 21,514 15,239
Interest (b) 113,666 82,667
----------- -----------

$ 225,594 $ 186,931
=========== ===========


(a) A Partnership 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 $486,000 and $427,000 were accrued
and unpaid as of June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively.

As of June 30, 2002, the properties owned by four of the Local Partnerships are
managed by a local general partner ("Local General Partner") or its affiliates
and one Local Partnership is managed by an affiliate of the General Partner and
Local General Partner.

(b) During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the General Partner and its
affiliates advanced $1,886,141 to the Partnership and as of June 30, 2002 and
March 31, 2002, total advances outstanding are $8,451,612 and $6,565,471,
respectively. The advances are unsecured, bear interest at prime +2% and are due
on demand.

Without the General Partner's continued allowance of accrual without payment of
certain fees, expense reimbursements and advances the Partnership will not be in
a position to meet its financial obligations. The General Partner and its
affiliates have agreed to support the Partnership's operating expenses for the
foreseeable future.

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 of Section 42 of the
Internal Revenue Code in order to protect the housing tax credits authorized
hereby (the "Housing Tax Credits"). The Partnership's primary source of funds is
rental revenues, which is 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 allowance of
accrual without payment of certain fees, expense reimbursements and advances the
Partnership will not be in a position to meet its obligations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2002, cash and cash equivalents of the
Partnership and its eight Local Partnerships increased approximately $1,906,000.
The increase is primarily attributable to advances from General Partner
($1,822,000) and cash provided by operating activities ($48,000) which exceeded
payments of mortgage notes ($144,000), a net increase in due to Local General
Partners and affiliates of Local Partnerships, General Partner and its
affiliates ($242,000), an increase in deferred costs ($50,000) and investment in
property ($11,000). Included in adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash
provided by operating activities is depreciation and amortization of
approximately $609,000.

Summer Creek Villas Local Partnership ("Summer Creek Villas")
- -------------------------------------------------------------

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 2001, Summer
Creek Villas' operations are impeded by its 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. Summer Creek Villas has been obligated, since
1996, to repay significant amounts of principal on its mortgage.

10



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 1999, 2000 and 2001, in
amounts not to exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate. Although no formal agreements
have been reached with its 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 through
June 30, 2002 to fund operating deficits total $8,735,749 and are comprised of
$6,735,749 from the Partnership (which was eliminated in consolidation) and
$2,000,000 from the Class C local limited partner. Management of Summer Creek
Villas plans to request additional funding from its partners (including the
Partnership) in the coming year.

Summer Creek Villas' ability to continue its operations is dependent upon
management achieving the plans described in Form 10-K and above. 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
- ---------------------

Results of operations for the Local Partnerships consolidated herein are for the
three month period ended June 30, 2002. Information disclosed below with respect
to each Local Partnership is consistent with this method of presentation.

Rental income increased approximately $42,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2002 as compared to the corresponding period in 2001, primarily due to
rental rate increases.

Other income increased approximately $28,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2002 as compared to the corresponding period in 2001, primarily due to an
increase in redecorating fees and termination fees received at Summer Creek
Villas.
