DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated February 19, 1986, included as part of the Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of December 24, 1985 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, is incorporated by reference into Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Index to exhibits may be found on page 41 Page 1 of 51 PART I Item 1. Business. General - - ------- Summit Tax Exempt Bond Fund, L.P. (the "Registrant"), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on December 18, 1985 and will terminate on December 31, 2020 unless terminated sooner under the provisions of the Registrant's Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"). The Registrant was formed to invest in tax-exempt participating first mortgage revenue bonds ("First Mortgage Bonds" or "FMBs") issued by various state or local governments or their agencies or authorities. These investments were made with proceeds from the initial sale of 7,906,234 Beneficial Unit Certificates ("BUC$"). The FMBs are secured by participating first mortgage loans ("Mortgage Loans") on multi-family residential apartment properties ("Properties") developed by unaffiliated developers. The Properties are eleven garden apartment projects located in eight states. The Registrant's fiscal year for book and tax purposes ends on December 31. The Registrant is engaged solely in the business of investing in FMBs; therefore, presentation of industry segment information is not applicable. General Partners - - ---------------- The general partners of the Registrant are Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. ("PBP") and Related Tax Exempt Bond Associates, Inc. (the "Related General Partner") (collectively, the "General Partners"). Related BUC$ Associates, Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), which acquired and holds limited partnership interests on behalf of those persons who purchase BUC$, has assigned to those persons substantially all of its rights and interest in and under such limited partnership interests. The Related General Partner and the Assignor Limited Partner are under similar ownership. Competition - - ----------- The General Partners and/or their affiliates have formed, and may continue to form, various entities to engage in businesses which 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 interest and, ultimately, principal payments, may be subject to competition relating to rental rates and amenities from comparable neighboring properties. Structure of First Mortgage Bonds - - --------------------------------- The principal and interest payments on each FMB are payable only from the cash flows, including proceeds in the event of a sale, from the Properties underlying the FMBs. None of these FMBs constitute a general obligation of any state or local government, agency or authority. The FMBs are secured by the Mortgage Loans on the underlying Properties and the structure of each Mortgage Loan mirrors the structure of the corresponding FMB. Unless otherwise modified , the principal of the FMBs will not be amortized during their respective terms (which range from 17 to 24 years) and will be required to be repaid in lump sum "balloon" payments at the expiration of the respective terms or at such earlier times as the Registrant may require pursuant to the terms of the bond documents. The Registrant has a right to require redemption of the FMBs approximately twelve years after their issuance. The Registrant anticipates holding the FMBs for approximately 12 to 15 years from the date of issuance; however, it can and may elect to hold until maturity. In addition to the stated base interest rates ranging from 5.23% to 8.50% per annum, each of the FMBs provides for "contingent interest" consisting of (a) an amount equal to 50% to 100% of net property cash flow and -2- 50% to 100% of net sale or refinancing proceeds until the borrower has paid, during the post-construction period, annually compounded interest at a rate ranging from 8.875% to 9.34% on a cumulative basis, and thereafter (b) an amount equal to 25% to 50% of the remaining net property cash flow and 25% to 50% of remaining net sale or refinancing proceeds until the borrower has paid interest at a simple annual rate of 16% over the term of the FMB. Both the stated and contingent interest are exempt from federal income taxation. In order to protect the tax exempt status of the FMBs, the owners of the Properties are required to enter into certain agreements to own, manage and operate such Properties in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. -3- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P.

(A) The minimum pay rates on the FMBs are scheduled to increase to the stated interest rate over the remaining terms of the FMBs. (B) The minimum pay rate is the current cash flow of the property. (C) The minimum pay rate on the FMB increases in increments from 6% in 1990 to 8.25% in 1997. The actual pay rate is adjusted as of the property's fiscal year end based on audited financial statements to no less than the minimum pay rate. (D) Includes contingent interest paid during 1995. (E) Includes receipt of deferred base interest relating to prior periods. (F) The FMBs are carried at their estimated fair values at December 31, 1995. -4- Bond Modifications/Forbearance Agreements - - ----------------------------------------- Effective with the May 1, 1995 payment date, the Sunset Terrace FMB has made payments based on the monthly net cash flow generated by the operations of the underlying property in accordance with the agreement outlined below. Effective as of August 1, 1995, the obligor of the Sunset Terrace FMB entered into a forbearance agreement. In accordance with the terms of this agreement, the obligor of the FMB is paying debt service on the FMB to the extent of cash flow generated by the underlying property. The difference between the pay rate and the stated rate of this FMB is deferred and payable out of available future cash flow. In addition, pursuant to the agreement, the obligor has replaced the property manager and leasing agent with a new property manager who is an affiliate of the Related General Partner. Other terms of the agreement call for the deed to be transferred to the Registrant or its designee no later than January 30, 1997 should the obligor be unable to bring the FMB fully current on all interest due and payable (including deferred base interest) on or before that date. These and other obligations are secured by a guarantee from an affiliate of the obligor. In November 1989, a $600,000 settlement was reached between the previous developer of High Pointe Club Apartments and USF&G, the construction performance bonding company for High Pointe property. Prior to this settlement, the previous developer agreed to place the settlement proceeds in escrow later to be shared with the subsequent developer ("Greenhill Project Investors, Inc.") or its successors and assigns pursuant to an arbitration proceeding. On April 23, 1993, the previous developer agreed to release the escrowed funds to RHA Inv., Inc. ("RHA"), the successor to Greenhill Project Investors, Inc. In April 1995, RHA paid to the Registrant approximately $721,0000 consisting of the settlement proceeds plus accrued interest. These funds were applied as partial payment toward accrued and unpaid interest due under the High Pointe Club FMB. During April 1995, the Registrant made a loan in the amount of approximately $721,000 to the new owner of the Cypress Run property toward payment of delinquent 1992 and 1993 property taxes. This loan is self-amortizing over three years and carries an 8.5% annual interest rate. This loan was recorded in income as a reduction of interest income from FMBs because the Cypress Run FMB is paying interest on a cash flow basis. On April 1, 1994, Mansion Apartment Project Investors, Inc., ("MAPI") , an affiliate of the Related General Partner who replaced the original developer of The Mansion property, sold the ownership interest in the property to an unrelated third party for $700,000 in cash and the assumption of the obligation under the Registrant's $19,450,000 FMB as well as a $400,000 second mortgage note payable to a lender affiliated with the Related General Partner taken by assignment from the seller. Notwithstanding the assumption of the FMB, the General Partners agreed to forbear on the Registrant's rights and remedies in declaring an interest payment default under the FMB loan documents provided the new borrower made minimum monthly interest payments to the Registrant equal to approximately $81,000 per month (5% per annum) together with payments to a replacement reserve escrow account of approximately $4,500 per month and complied with all other covenants and obligations. Effective October 18, 1994, The Mansion FMB was modified. The modification provides for a base pay rate of 5.23%. In addition, the contingent interest feature has been changed. Under the modified FMB, an additional .386% per year (primary contingent interest) is due and payable from 100% of cash flow above the base pay rate. If not paid, the difference between the minimum pay rate and the primary contingent interest rate is deferred and is payable from future cash flow and sale or refinancing proceeds. Remaining cash flow and sale or refinancing proceeds, if any, are paid to the Registrant in an amount equal to 35% of net cash flow until the borrower receives a 12.5% cumulative return on its investment together with the return of the initial investment. Then, the Registrant is entitled to 50% of remaining cash flow and net sale or refinancing proceeds until the owner has paid interest at a cumulative annual rate of 16%. Notwithstanding The Mansion owner's obligation to pay amounts due as primary contingent interest, the Registrant has agreed, until 1998, that the obligation to pay such amounts will be considered satisfied subject to those amounts being contributed by The Mansion's owner toward certain designated repairs to the property. The Mansion's owner will nevertheless be obligated to pay amounts due from remaining cash flow if available above the primary contingent interest rate. -5- The net cash proceeds from the sale of the ownership interest in The Mansion by MAPI of approximately $105,0000 (net of $400,000 escrow for certain repairs, a $50,000 second mortgage note principal payment, and closing costs), paid to the Registrant to reduce accrued and unpaid interest, was recorded by the Registrant as deferred income and is being amortized as interest income over the remaining life of The Mansion FMB. The balance of the deferred income relating to The Mansion FMB was approximately $94,000 and $101,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994. All other accrued and unpaid interest on The Mansion FMB which had been reserved for financial statement purposes was forgiven. In June 1992, the Registrant made a $320,000 second mortgage loan to the owner of the property underlying the Cypress Run FMB for the payment of 1991 property taxes. This loan required monthly interest only payments at a rate of 8.5% per annum with the principal due on July 1, 1994. Interest payments on the loan as well as the FMB were current through June 1994; however, due to the borrower's bankruptcy, the loan remains outstanding and the borrower has been notified of the default (see below for discussion of borrower's bankruptcy filing). An allowance for possible loss was recorded for the entire loan amount in 1993. As a result of the failure to pay 1992 and 1993 real estate taxes, the Registrant initiated steps to enforce its rights and remedies under the Cypress Run FMB in July 1994. These remedies include acceleration of the loan and a $350,000 draw on an irrevocable letter of credit issued on behalf of the owner of Cypress Run as security relating to obligations under the Rental Performance Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the bond documents, approximately $348,000 of the proceeds received from the draw on the letter of credit has been recorded as a reduction of the FMB with the balance applied as interest. In response, on July 15, 1994, the owner of the property filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and continued to operate the property as a debtor-in-possession. The bankruptcy filing operated as a stay against the enforcement of the Registrant's remedies which include foreclosure. At the initial hearing, the court consented, among other things, to allow the Registrant to receive the monthly net cash flow generated by the property as its debt service payments for at least the initial 120 days of the proceedings. On November 10 ,1994, an Order Modifying Stay together with a Settlement Stipulation was entered by the Court which granted the Registrant relief from the Automatic Stay. This order became effective on March 31, 1995 unless sale of the property, subject to the Registrant's approval, was closed beforehand. On March 31, 1995, pursuant to the Court Order, ownership of the Cypress Run property was transferred to an affiliate of the Related General Partner. The affiliate has not made an equity investment in the underlying property; however, it has assumed the day-to-day responsibilities and obligations of operating the property. The Registrant continues to receive the monthly net cash flow generated by the property as payment toward debt service. Due to the failure to pay 1990 and 1991 property taxes and interest from March to August 1992, the Registrant instituted foreclosure proceedings against Greenway Manor. On July 20, 1992, the Greenway partnership filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United Sates Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to a 1992 court order, the receiver paid the Registrant the cash flow remaining after paying past due taxes, property operating costs and escrowing for 1992 taxes. On June 30, 1993, the court dismissed the bankruptcy proceedings at which time the owner of the property and obligor under the FMB agreed to transfer the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to an affiliate of the Related General Partner. For several properties collateralizing FMBs (High Pointe Club securing an $8,900,000 FMB; Greenway Manor, securing a $12,850,000 FMB and Cedar Creek, securing an $8,100,000 FMB) the original owners of the underlying properties and obligors of the FMBs were replaced by affiliates of the Related General Partner who have not made equity investments in the underlying properties. These entities have assumed the day-to-day responsibilities and obligations of operating the underlying properties. Buyers are being sought who would make equity investments in the underlying properties and assume the nonrecourse obligations for the FMB's. Although certain of these properties are not producing sufficient cash flow to fully service the debt, the Registrant has no present intention to declare a default on these FMBs. -6- On May 31, 1992, Clarendon Hills Investors, Inc. (CHI"), an affiliate of the Related General Partner who had replaced the developer of the Clarendon Hills property, sold its ownership interest in the property to an unrelated third party (the "Purchaser") for $26,200,000. The Purchaser paid $2,000,000 in cash, assumed the $17,600,000 obligation of the Registrant's FMB and issued to CHI a $6,600,000 promissory note which in turn, was assigned to the Registrant. The $6,600,000 promissory note bears interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum payable in equal monthly installments until December 2003 at which time the entire unpaid principal and interest will be due and payable. The $1,441,209 in net cash proceeds of the sale (net of certain closing costs), paid by the purchaser to the Registrant to reduce accrued and unpaid interest, was recorded by the Registrant as deferred income and is being amortized as interest income from FMBs over the remaining life of the Clarendon Hills FMB. The balance of the deferred income relating to the Clarendon Hills FMB was approximately $992,000 and $1,117,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994. In connection with the sale of the Clarendon Hills property by CHI, the FMB collateralized by the property was modified to provide for, among other things: the discharge of all accrued and unpaid interest relating to a previous owner (which for financial statements purposes has been fully reserved); a reduction of the base interest rate to 5.52% per annum on the $17,600,000 FMB; and a further reduction of the base interest during the first four years from closing of an amount equal to 50% of the increase in property taxes (if any) over the fiscal 1992 property tax bill resulting solely from this sale (limited to $35,000 per annum). In addition, the contingent interest feature was modified to assign annual cash flow as follows: (1) to pay the Registrant its 5.52% base rate of the FMB and to pay the 8.0% interest owed on the promissory note; (2) to pay the Purchaser the next $220,000 representing return on its investment; and then (3) to pay the Registrant 65% of cash flow until the Registrant receives an interest rate equal to 8.25% per annum on $24,200,000 ($17,600,000 FMB and $6,600,000 promissory note) for each respective year on a non-cumulative basis. Any remaining cash flow is then shared 65% by the Purchaser and 35% by the Registrant. The FMBs for the East Ridge and Martin's Creek properties were modified in 1990 when the equity interest in the properties and the related obligations of the FMBs were sold by an affiliate of the Related General Partner to an unrelated third party. The modifications provide for the minimum pay rate increases from 6.0% per annum in 1990 to 7.5% per annum in March 1996. Beginning in March 1997, the pay rate will be 8.25% per annum. The difference between the minimum interest rate and the original stated rate is deferred and is payable out of available future cash flow. As part of this modification, the Registrant received $950,000 in 13% second mortgage notes with monthly interest and principal payments through December 1996. These notes are also partially secured by letters of credit. Deferred income equal to the amount of the promissory note was recorded in the statements of financial condition. As a result of this transaction, income is recognized only as and when the Registrant receives payment on the promissory notes. The balances of both the promissory notes and deferred income was approximately $57,000 and $251,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. There was no loss recorded on this transaction because the allowance previously established for these FMBs was in excess of the concessions granted. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the valuation allowance relating to debt restructuring was approximately $296,000 and $366,000, respectively. Such allowance is accreted as interest income over the remaining term of the FMBs as long as the estimated fair value of the underlying properties is in excess of the carrying value of the related FMB. During 1991, a forbearance agreement was finalized with the owners of the North Glen property. The General Partners further modified the North Glen forbearance agreement in April 1993 to allow the owner to make debt payments at a pay rate of 6.0% per annum through December 1995 at which time the rate was scheduled to increase to the stated rate of 8.5% per annum, however, the General Partners extended the forbearance agreement through December 15, 1997. The pay rate for the Thomas Lake property is scheduled to increase in annual increments to the original stated rate of 8.5% per annum in December 1996. During 1992, a forbearance agreement was finalized with the owner of the Sunset Terrace property. Terms of the agreement call for a reduced pay rate of 7.0% per annum through May 1993 with scheduled annual increments to the original stated rate of 8.0% in May 1996. -7- With respect to all of these FMBs, the difference between the pay rate and the original stated rate is deferred and payable out of available future cash flow or ultimately from sales or refinancing proceeds and is not accrued for financial statement purposes. The determination as to whether it is in the best interest of the Registrant to enter into forbearance agreements on the FMBs or, alternatively, to pursue its remedies under the loan documents, including foreclosure, is based upon several factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, property performance, owner cooperation and projected legal costs. The following FMB's interest income exceeded 15% of the Registrant's total revenue for one or more of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995: 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Cypress Run * 17% 17% The Mansion * 16% * *FMB's interest income was less than 15% of the Registrant's total revenue for the year. Credit Facility - - --------------- On January 15, 1993, the Registrant entered into a loan agreement with an unaffiliated lender for a $15,000,000 credit facility with the maturity date of January 14, 1998 and an option to extend for two years for an additional fee. The debt service requirements include monthly interest only payments with a variable interest rate equal to the 30-day commercial paper interest rate (5.85% and 5.90% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, plus 4.05% with principal due at maturity. The facility is collateralized by a pledge of the FMBs and associated collateral of East Ridge, Martin's Creek, The Mansion, Thomas Lake and Sunset Terrace. The initial proceeds from this facility were used to repay a $10,000,000 credit facility guaranteed by the Registrant, to repay a $3,000,000 noninterest-bearing working capital loan made to the Registrant from the Related General Partner and to pay associated closing costs. The $10,000,000 credit facility had been used to pay for costs incurred to complete construction of the properties securing the High Pointe Club and Clarendon Hills FMBs and to fund a loan toward the payment of property taxes on the Thomas Lake property. The $3,000,000 working capital loan was used to supplement distributions commencing with the fourth quarter 1988 distribution. The unused portion of the Registrant's $15,000,000 credit facility is to be used for future working capital requirements and other cash requirements, as necessary, subject to approval of the lender. In conjunction with the Registrant's credit facility and the repayment of the previously existing $10,000,000 credit facility, the Registrant was assigned nonrecourse notes in the amount of $6,600,000, $3,180,000 and $220,000 for the Clarendon Hills, High Pointe Club and Thomas Lake properties, respectively. The Clarendon Hills promissory note, secured by a deed of trust, requires monthly interest only payments of 8.0% per annum with the principal due on December 31, 2003. The unsecured High Pointe Club note also requires monthly interest only payments of 8.0% per annum with the principal due on December 31, 2003. Since the High Pointe Club property is paying interest on a cash flow basis, interest on the promissory note is only recorded when cash flow is received in excess of the stated rate. No interest on the High Pointe Club promissory note has been received or recorded through December 31, 1995. The assigned High Pointe Club note is subordinate to the High Pointe Club FMB and has been fully reserved. The Thomas Lake promissory note in the principal amount of $220,000, which is secured by a second mortgage on the property, matured in April 1995 and was modified and extended. The modified loan is self-amortizing over thirty months at an 8.5% interest rate. Clarendon Hills and Thomas Lake promissory notes are current on their interest payments through December 31, 1995.

The Registrant's BUC$ are listed on the American Stock Exchange under the SUA symbol; however, the limited partner interests themselves are not listed. The high and low prices for each quarterly period of the last two years for which the BUC$ were traded are as follows: 1995 1995 1994 1994 Low High Low High --- ---- --- ---- March 31 8 1/2 9 7/8 10 1/2 11 3/8 June 30 9 3/8 10 1/4 9 7/8 10 7/8 September 30 9 3/4 10 1/4 9 1/4 10 1/8 December 31 9 1/2 10 3/8 8 1/4 9 3/8 Quarterly cash distributions per BUC paid during 1995 and 1994 were as follows: Quarter ended 1995 1994 ------------- ---- ---- March 31 $.21 $.21 June 30 $.21 $.21 September 30 $.21 $.21 December 31 $.21 $.21 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. Cash distributions paid in 1995 and 1994 were funded from current and previously undistributed cash flow from operations. Approximately $791,000 of the $6,641,000 and $1,069,000 of the $6,641, 000 paid to BUC$holders in 1995 and 1994, respectively, represents a return of capital under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). (The return of capital on a GAAP basis is calculated as BUC$holder distributions less net income allocated to BUC$holders). The Registrant currently expects that cash distributions will be paid in the foreseeable future from adjusted cash flow from operations. For discussion of other factors that may affect the amount of future distributions, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7. -9- Item 6.

-10- Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and Liquidity - - ------------------------------- The Registrant has invested in eleven tax-exempt FMBs issued by various state or local governments or their agencies or authorities. The FMBs are secured by participating first mortgage loans on multi-family residential apartment projects. At the beginning of the year, the Registrant had cash and temporary investments of approximately $2,090,000. After payment of distributions and receipt of the net cash flow from operations, Registrant ended the year with approximately $1,976,000 in cash and temporary investments. The fourth quarter distribution of approximately $1,660,000 ($.21 per BUC) was paid to BUC$holders in February 1996 from current and previously undistributed cash flow from operations. The Registrant anticipates funding future cash distributions from current and previously undistributed cash flow from operations. Interest payments from FMBs are anticipated to provide sufficient liquidity to meet the operating expenditures of the Registrant in future years and to fund distributions. The Registrant's loan payable has a variable interest rate; therefore, future levels of interest expense will fluctuate in correlation to movements in the 30-day commercial paper interest rate. As discussed in more detail in Note 3 to the financial statements in Item 8, the Registrant received net proceeds of approximately $105,000 in April 1994 in connection with an affiliate's sale of its ownership interest in The Mansion to an unrelated third party. The Registrant has recorded the proceeds as deferred income. Management is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties that will impact liquidity in a material way except as discussed here and in the financial statements in Item 8. The Registrant's investments in mortgage loans are secured by a Registrant interest in properties which are diversified by location so that if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the remaining properties may be experiencing upswings. Results of Operations - - --------------------- Pursuant to a review of the Registrant's financial statements by the SEC staff in 1996 and in accordance with others in the industry, the Registrant agreed that it will account for its investments in the FMBs as debt securities under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115") effective January 1, 1994, and has restated its 1995 and 1994 financial statements to reflect this change in accounting treatment. The change in accounting treatment does not affect cash flow or payments received by the Partnership from the properties, level of distributions to BUC$Holders, the tax-exempt nature of the Partnership's net income, or the obligation under the FMBs. The Registrant has a right to require redemption of the FMBs approximately twelve years after their issuance. The Registrant anticipates holding the FMBs for approximately 12 to 15 years from the date of issuance; however, it can elect to hold until maturity. As such, SFAS 115 requires the Registrant to classify these investments as "available for sale." Accordingly, effective January 1, 1994, investments in FMBs are carried at their estimated fair values, with unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of partners' capital. The cumulative effect of adopting this accounting was a decrease in partners' capital at January 1, 1994 of approximately $7,693,000 due to unrealized holding losses. This accounting also resulted in cumulative net unrealized losses of approximately $2,899,000 and $4,283,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Again, unrealized holding gains or losses do not affect the cash flow generated from property operations, distributions to BUC$holders, the characterization of the tax-exempt income stream or the financial obligations under the FMBs. -11- The Registrant periodically evaluates each FMB to determine whether a decline in fair value below the FMB's cost basis is other than temporary. Such a decline is considered to be other than temporary if, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Registrant will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms of the bonds. If the decline is judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the bond is written down to its then estimated fair value, with the amount of the write-down accounted for as realized loss. Because the FMBs are not readily marketable, the Registrant estimates fair value for each bond as the present value of its expected cash flows using an interest rate for comparable tax-exempt investments. This process is based upon projections of future economic events affecting the real estate collateralizing the bonds, such as property occupancy rates, rental rates, operating cost inflation and market capitalization rates, and upon determination of an appropriate market rate of interest, all of which are based on good faith estimates and assumptions developed by the Registrant's management. Changes in market conditions and circumstances may occur which would cause these estimates and assumptions to change, therefore, actual results may vary from the estimates and the variance may be material. Prior to 1994, the Registrant accounted for its investments in FMBs as loans collateralized by real estate, carried at cost less reserves, if needed, for possible losses. The Registrant classified FMBs as Assets Held for Sale when the original owner of the property and obligor of the FMB was replaced by an affiliate of the Related General Partner, who had not made an equity investment in the property. Because the Registrant has not declared default and has no present intention to do so, these assets have been reclassified from Assets Held for Sale to FMBs upon adoption of SFAS 115. Such FMBs were written down to the estimated fair value of the underlying properties at the time the original owners were replaced. 1995 vs. 1994 - - ------------- Net income increased approximately $283,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994 primarily due to the amount of losses on impairment of assets recorded in the respective years and for the following reasons below. Interest income from FMBs decreased by approximately $130,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994 primarily due to reduced debt service payments received from the Sunset Terrace and Cedar Creek FMBs. Interest income from promissory notes decreased by approximately $35,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994. This decrease resulted primarily from the repayment of the Cypress Run tax loan in 1994 resulting in no interest income in 1995. Interest income from temporary investments increased approximately $29,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994 primarily due to higher interest rates and invested balances. Interest expense increased approximately $235,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994 due to interest rate increases during 1995 on the Registrant's loan. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $66,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994 primarily due to the timing of certain accruals recorded in the respective years and increased costs associated with the administration of the Registrant. Losses on impairment of assets of $500,000 and $1,350,000 were recorded during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, to write down the cost basis of certain FMBs to recognize other-than-temporary impairment. -12- Legal expenses increased approximately $131,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994 primarily due to the legal costs incurred with respect to the Cypress Run bankruptcy proceedings, debt modifications and the Kinnes litigation discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements in Item 8. 1994 vs. 1993 - - ------------- Net income increased approximately $1,550,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the corresponding period in 1993 primarily due to the amounts of losses on impairment of assets and uncollectible receivables recorded in the respective years and the reasons discussed below. Interest income from FMBs decreased by approximately $266,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the corresponding period in 1993. This decrease primarily resulted from the Cypress Run bankruptcy and a modification to the North Glen forbearance agreement in 1993. These decreases were offset, in part, by increased interest received from Sunset Terrace, Thomas Lake, High Pointe Club and Cedar Creek. Interest income from promissory notes decreased by approximately $22,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the corresponding period in 1993. This decrease resulted from reduced interest received on the Cypress Run tax loan in 1994 as compared to 1993. Interest income from temporary investments increased by approximately $18,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the corresponding period in 1993 primarily due to higher interest rates and invested balances. Interest expense increased by approximately $189,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the corresponding period in 1993 due to interest rate increases during 1994. General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $63,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the corresponding period in 1993 primarily due to the timing of certain expenses in the respective years and a general decrease in the costs associated with the administration of the Registrant. A $1,350,000 loss on impairment of assets was recorded during the year ended December 31, 1994 to write down the cost basis of certain FMBs to recognize other-than-temporary impairment. Legal expenses decreased approximately $121,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the corresponding period in 1993. This decrease was primarily because of non-recurring costs associated with the Greenway foreclosure in 1993 and lower legal costs related to the Levine litigation described in Note 7 to the financial statements in Item 8. -13- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P.

*The rate paid represents the interest recorded by the Registrant while the stated rate represents the coupon rate of the FMB and the minimum pay rate represents the minimum rate pursuant to the payable applicable forbearance agreement, if any. (A) The minimum pay rates on the FMBs are scheduled to increase to the stated interest rate over the remaining terms of the FMBs. (B) The minimum pay rate is the current cash flow of the property. (C) The minimum pay rate on the FMB increases in increments from 6% in 1990 to 8.25% in 1997. The actual pay rate is adjusted as of the property's fiscal year end based on audited financial statements to no less than the minimum pay rate. (D) Includes contingent interest paid during 1995. (E) Includes receipt of deferred base interest relating to prior periods. (F) The FMBs are carried at their estimated fair values at December 31, 1995. -14- General - - ------- The determination as to whether it is in the best interest of the Registrant to enter into forbearance agreements on the FMBs, or alternatively, to pursue its remedies under the loan documents, including foreclosure, is based upon several factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, property performance, owner cooperation and projected legal costs. The difference between the stated interest rates and the rates paid on certain FMBs is not accrued for financial statement purposes, although it is deferred and payable from available future cash flow and sale or refinancing proceeds. Interest income relating to these FMBs of approximately $1,571,000, $1,707,000, and $1,639,000 was not recorded for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. From time to time, certain property owners have elected to supplement the cash flow generated by the properties to meet the required FMB interest payments. There can be no assurance that in the future any property owner will continue to elect to supplement property cash flow to satisfy FMB interest requirements if necessary. The owner of the Sunset Terrace property supplemented the cash flow generated by the property to meet the required interest payments in 1994. No property owner made supplementary payments in 1995. -15- Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. (a) 1.

See accompanying notes to financial statements -22- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P. (a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 NOTE 1 - General Summit Tax Exempt Bond Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on December 18, 1985 and will terminate on December 31, 2020 unless terminated sooner under the provisions of the Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"). The Partnership was formed to invest in tax-exempt participating first mortgage revenue bonds ("FMBs") issued by various state or local governments or their agencies or authorities. The FMBs are secured by participating first mortgage loans on multi-family residential apartment projects (the "Properties"). The general partners of the Partnership (the "General Partners") are Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. ("PBP") (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Securities Group, Inc.) and Related Tax Exempt Bond Associates, Inc. (the "Related General Partner"). Related BUC$ Associates, Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), which acquired and holds limited partnership interests on behalf of those persons who purchase Beneficial Unit Certificates ("BUC$"), has assigned to those persons substantially all of its rights and interest in and under such limited partnership interests. The Related General Partner and the Assignor Limited Partner are under common ownership. As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had invested in a total of eleven FMBs. NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a) Basis of Accounting The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the General Partners to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. b) Participating first mortgage bonds and promissory notes receivable Pursuant to a review of the Partnership's financial statements by the SEC staff in 1996 and in accordance with others in the industry, the Partnership agreed that it will account for its investments in the FMBs as debt securities under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115") effective January 1, 1994, and has restated its 1995 and 1994 financial statements to reflect this change in accounting treatment. The change in accounting treatment does not affect cash flow or payments received by the Partnership from the properties, level of distributions to BUC$Holders, the tax-exempt nature of the Partnership's net income or the obligation under the FMBs. The Partnership has a right to require redemption of the FMBs approximately twelve years after their issuance. The Partnership anticipates holding the FMBs for approximately 12 to 15 years from the date of issuance; however, it can elect to hold until maturity. As such, SFAS 115 requires the Partnership to classify these investments as "available for sale." Accordingly, effective January 1, 1994, investments in FMBs are carried at their estimated fair values, with unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of partners' capital. The cumulative effect of adopting this accounting was a decrease in partners' capital at January 1, 1994 of approximately -23- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P. (a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) $7,693,000 due to unrealized holding losses. This accounting also resulted in cumulative net unrealized losses of approximately $2,899,000 and $4,283,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Again, unrealized holding gains or losses do not affect the cash flow generated from property operations, distributions to BUC$holders, the characterization of the tax-exempt income stream or the financial obligations under the FMBs. The Partnership periodically evaluates each FMB to determine whether a decline in fair value below the FMB's cost basis is other than temporary. Such a decline is considered to be other than temporary if, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms of the bonds. If the decline is judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the bond is written down to its then estimated fair value, with the amount of the write-down accounted for as realized loss. Because the FMBs are not readily marketable, the Partnership estimates fair value for each bond as the present value of its expected cash flows using an interest rate for comparable tax-exempt investments. This process is based upon projections of future economic events affecting the real estate collateralizing the bonds, such as property occupancy rates, rental rates, operating cost inflation and market capitalization rates, and upon determination of an appropriate market rate of interest, all of which are based on good faith estimates and assumptions developed by the Partnership's management. Changes in market conditions and circumstances may occur which would cause these estimates and assumptions to change, therefore, actual results may vary from the estimates and the variance may be material. Prior to 1994, the Partnership accounted for its investments in FMBs as loans collateralized by real estate, carried at cost less reserves, if needed, for possible losses. The Partnership classified FMBs as Assets Held for Sale when the original owner of the property and obligor of the FMB was replaced by an affiliate of the Related General Partner, who had not made an equity investment in the property. Because the Partnership has not declared default and has no present intention to do so, these assets have been reclassified from Assets Held For Sale to FMBs upon adoption of SFAS 115. Such FMBs were written down to the estimated fair value of the underlying properties at the time the original owners were replaced. From time to time, the Partnership has advanced funds to the owners of certain properties in the form of promissory notes collateralized by second mortgages on these properties. These promissory notes are carried at cost less a valuation allowance where appropriate. The Partnership periodically evaluates the collectibility of both interest and principal of these investments to determine whether a reserve is necessary. For both FMBs and promissory notes, interest income is recognized at the stated rate when collectibility of future amounts is reasonably assured. Interest income from FMBs with modified terms where the collectibility of future amounts is uncertain is recognized based upon expected cash receipts. c) Temporary investments Temporary investments at December 31, 1995 represent tax-exempt Municipal Preferred Stock which are carried at cost which approximates market value. Temporary investments at December 31, 1994 represent tax-exempt floating rate municipal bonds which are carried at cost plus accrued interest which approximates market value. -24- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P. (a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments in short-term instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, for which cost approximates market value. e) Income taxes The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any Federal income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed directly to the BUC$holders. The Partnership may be subject to other state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. f) Profit and loss allocations and distributions Net profits or losses and distributions are allocated 98% to the BUC$holders and 2% to the General Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. g) Deferred bond selection fees The General Partners were paid bond selection fees (equal to 2% of the gross proceeds from the initial offering) for evaluating and selecting FMBs, negotiating the terms of mortgage loans and coordinating the development effort with property developers and government agencies. These fees have been capitalized and are being amortized over the terms of the FMBs. The accumulated amortization as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $1,383,000 and $1,233,000, respectively. h) Deferred financing fees Financing fees incurred in connection with the Partnership's credit facility were capitalized and are being amortized over five years (the life of the credit facility). The accumulated amortization at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $378,000 and $251,000, respectively. i) Fair value of financial instruments As described in Note 2.b. above, the Partnership's investments in FMBs are carried at estimated fair values. The Partnership has determined that the fair value of its remaining financial instruments, including its temporary investments, cash and cash equivalents, promissory notes receivable and loan payable approximate their carrying values. j) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year's presentation. NOTE 3 - Participating First Mortgage Bonds The principal and interest payments on each FMB are payable only from the cash flows, including proceeds in the event of a sale, from the Properties underlying the FMBs. None of these FMBs constitute a general -25- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P. (a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 NOTE 3 - Participating First Mortgage Bonds (continued) obligation of any state or local government, agency or authority. The FMBs are secured by the mortgage loans on the underlying Properties and the structure of each mortgage loan mirrors the structure of the corresponding FMB. Unless otherwise modified, the principal of the FMBs will not be amortized during their respective terms (which range from 17 to 24 years) and will be required to be repaid in lump sum "balloon" payments at the expiration of the respective terms or at such earlier times as the Partnership may require pursuant to the bond documents, The Partnership has a right to require redemption of the FMBs approximately twelve years after their issuance. The Partnership anticipates holding the FMBs for approximately 12 to 15 years from the date of issuance; however, it can and may elect to hold until maturity. In addition to the stated base interest rates ranging from 5.23% to 8.50% per annum, each of the FMBs which have not been modified provides for "contingent interest" consisting of (a) an amount equal to 50% to 100% of net property cash flow and 50% to 100% of net sale of refinancing proceeds until the borrower has paid, during the post-construction period, annually compounded interest at a rate ranging from 8.875% to 9.34% on a cumulative basis, and thereafter (b) an amount equal to 25% to 50% of the remaining net property cash flow and 25% to 50% of remaining net sale or refinancing proceeds until the borrower has paid interest at a simple annual rate of 16% over the term of the FMB. Both the stated and contingent interest are exempt from federal income taxation. In order to protect the tax-exempt status of the FMBs, the owners of the Properties are required to enter into certain agreements to own, manage and operate such Properties in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Effective with the May 1, 1995 payment date, the Sunset Terrace FMB has made payments based on the monthly net cash flow generated by the operations of the underlying property in accordance with the agreement outlined below. Effective as of August 1, 1995, the obligor of the Sunset Terrace FMB entered into a forbearance agreement. In accordance with the terms of this agreement, the obligor of the FMB is paying debt service on the FMB to the extent of cash flow generated by the underlying property. The difference between the pay rate and the stated rate of this FMB is deferred and payable out of available future cash flow. In addition, pursuant to the agreement, the obligor has replaced the property manager and leasing agent with a new property manager who is an affiliate of the Related General Partner. Other terms of the agreement call for the deed to be transferred to the Partnership or its designee no later than January 30, 1997 should the obligor be unable to bring the FMB fully current on all interest due and payable (including deferred base interest) on or before that date. These and other obligations are secured by a guarantee from an affiliate of the obligor. In November 1989, a $600,000 settlement was reached between the previous developer of High Pointe Club Apartments and USF&G, the construction performance bonding company for the High Pointe property. Prior to this settlement, the previous developer agreed to place the settlement proceeds in escrow later to be shared with the subsequent developer ("Greenhill Project Investors, Inc.") or its successors and assigns pursuant to an arbitration proceeding. On April 23, 1993, the previous developer agreed to release the escrowed funds to RHA Inv., Inc. ("RHA"), the successor to Greenhill Project Investors, Inc. In April 1995, RHA paid to the Partnership approximately $721,0000 consisting of the settlement proceeds plus accrued interest. These funds were applied as partial payment toward accrued and unpaid interest due under the High Pointe Club FMB. During April 1995, the Partnership made a loan in the amount of approximately $721,000 to the new owner of the Cypress Run property toward payment of delinquent 1992 and 1993 property taxes. This loan is self-amortizing over three years and carries an 8.5% annual interest rate. This loan was recorded in income as a reduction of interest income from FMBs because the Cypress Run FMB is paying interest on a cash flow basis. -26- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P. (a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 NOTE 3 - Participating First Mortgage Bonds (continued) On April 1, 1994, Mansion Apartment Project Investors, Inc. ("MAPI"), an affiliate of the Related General Partner who replaced the original developer of The Mansion property, sold the ownership interest in the property to an unrelated third party for $700,000 in cash and the assumption of the obligation under the Partnership's $19,450,000 FMB as well as a $400,000 second mortgage note payable to a lender affiliated with the Related General Partner taken by assignment from the seller. Notwithstanding the assumption of the FMB, the General Partners agreed to forbear on the Partnership's rights and remedies in declaring an interest payment default under the FMB loan documents provided the new borrower made minimum monthly interest payments to the Partnership equal to approximately $81,000 per month (5% per annum) together with payments to a replacement reserve escrow account of approximately $4,500 per month and complied with all other covenants and obligations. Effective October 18, 1994, The Mansion FMB was modified. The modification provides for a base pay rate of 5.23%. In addition, the contingent interest feature has been changed. Under the modified FMB, an additional .386% per year (primary contingent interest) is due and payable from 100% of cash flow above the base pay rate. If not paid, the difference between the minimum pay rate and the primary contingent interest rates is deferred and is payable from future cash flow and sale or refinancing proceeds. Remaining cash flow and sale or refinancing proceeds, if any, are paid to the Partnership in an amount equal to 35% of net cash flow until the borrower receives a 12.5% cumulative return on its investment together with the return of the initial investment. Then, the Partnership is entitled to 50% of remaining cash flow and net sale or refinancing proceeds until the owner has paid interest at a cumulative annual rate of 16%. Notwithstanding The Mansion owner's obligations to pay amounts due as primary contingent interest, the Partnership has agreed, until 1998, that the obligation to pay such amounts will be considered satisfied subject to those amounts being contributed by The Mansion's owner toward certain designated repairs to the property. The Mansion's owner will nevertheless be obligated to pay amounts due from remaining cash flow if available above the primary contingent interest rate. The net cash proceeds from the sale of the ownership interest in The Mansion by MAPI of approximately $105,000 (net of a $400,000 escrow for certain repairs, a $50,000 second mortgage note principal payment, and closing costs), paid to the Partnership to reduce accrued and unpaid interest, was recorded by the Partnership as deferred income and is being amortized as interest income over the remaining life of The Mansion FMB. The balance of the deferred income relating to The Mansion FMB was approximately $94,000 at December 31, 1995. All other accrued and unpaid interest on The Mansion FMB which previously had been reserved for financial statement purposes was forgiven. In June 1992, the partnership made a $320,000 second mortgage loan to the owner of the property underlying the Cypress Run FMB for the payment of 1991 property taxes. This loan required monthly interest only payments at a rate of 8.5% per annum with the principal due on July 1, 1994. Interest payments on the loan as well as the FMB were current through June 1994; however, due to bankruptcy, the loan remains outstanding and the borrower has been notified of the default (see below for discussion of borrower's bankruptcy filing). An allowance for possible loss was established for this loan in 1993. As a result of the failure to pay 1992 and 1993 real estate taxes, the Partnership initiated steps to enforce its rights and remedies of the Cypress Run property in July 1994. These remedies include acceleration of the loan and a $350,000 draw on an irrevocable letter of credit issued of behalf of the owner of Cypress Run as security relating to obligations under the Rental Performance Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the bond documents, approximately $348,000 of the proceeds received from the draw on the letter of credit has been recorded as a reduction of the FMB with the balance applied as interest. In response, on July 15, 1994, the owner of the property filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and continued to operate the -27- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P. (a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 NOTE 3 - Participating First Mortgage Bonds (continued) property as a debtor-in-possession. The bankruptcy filing operated as a stay against the enforcement of the Partnership's remedies which include foreclosure. At the initial hearing, the court consented, among other things, to allow the Partnership to receive monthly net cash flow generated by the property as its debt service payments for at least the initial 120 days of the proceedings. On November 10, 1994, an Order Modifying Stay together with a Settlement Stipulation was entered by the Court which granted the Partnership relief from the Automatic Stay. This order became effective on March 31, 1995 unless a sale of the property, subject to the Partnership's approval, was closed beforehand. On March 31, 1995, pursuant to the Court Order, ownership of the Cypress Run property was transferred to an affiliate of the Related General Partner. The affiliate has not made an equity investment in the underlying property; however, it will assume the day-to-day responsibilities and obligations of operating the property. The Partnership continues to receive the monthly net cash flow generated by the property as payment toward debt service. Due to the failure to pay 1990 and 1991 property taxes and interest from March to August 1992, the Partnership instituted foreclosure proceedings against Greenway Manor. On July 20, 1992, the Greenway partnership filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to a 1992 court order, the receiver paid the Partnership the cash flow remaining after paying past due taxes, paying operating costs and escrowing for 1992 taxes. On June 30, 1993, the court dismissed the bankruptcy proceeding at which time the owner of the property and obligor under the FMB agreed to transfer the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to an affiliate of the Related General Partner. On May 31, 1992, Clarendon Hills Investor, Inc. ("CHI"), an affiliate of the Related General Partner who had replaced the developer of the Clarendon Hills property, sold its ownership interest in the property to an unrelated third party (the "Purchaser") for $26,200,000. The Purchaser paid $2,000,000 in cash, assumed the $17,600,000 obligation of the Partnership's FMB and issued a $6,600,000 promissory note to CHI which in turn was assigned to the Partnership. The $6,600,0000 promissory note bears interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum payable in equal monthly installments until December 2003 at which time the entire unpaid principal and interest will be due and payable. The $1,441,209 in net cash proceeds of the sale (net of certain closing costs), paid by CHI to the Partnership to reduce accrued and unpaid interest, was recorded by the Partnership as deferred income and is being amortized as interest income from FMBs over the remaining life of the Clarendon Hills FMB. The balance of the deferred income relating to the Clarendon Hills FMB was approximately $992,000 and $1,117,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. All other accrued and unpaid interest on the Clarendon Hills FMB was forgiven. In connection with the sale of the Clarendon Hills property by CHI, the FMB collateralized by the property was modified to provide for, among other things: the discharge of all accrued and unpaid interest relating to a previous owner (which for financial statement purposes had been fully reserved); a reduction of the base interest rate to 5.52% per annum on the $17,600,000 FMB; and a further reduction of the base interest during the first four years from closing of an amount equal to 50% of the increase in property taxes (if any) over the fiscal 1992 property tax bill resulting solely from this sale (limited to $35,000 per annum). In addition, the contingent interest feature was modified to assign annual cash flow as follows: (1) to pay the Partnership its 5.52% base rate of the FMB and to pay the 8.0% interest owed on the promissory note; (2) to assign the Purchaser the next $220,000 representing return on its investment; and then (3) to pay the Partnership 65% of cash flow until the Partnership receives an interest rate equal to 8.25% per annum on $24,200,000 ($17,600,000 FMB and $6,600,000 promissory note) for each respective year on a non-cumulative basis. Any remaining cash flow is then shared 65% by the Purchaser and 35% by the Partnership. -28- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P. (a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 NOTE 3 - Participating First Mortgage Bonds (continued) The FMBs for the East Ridge and Martin's Creek properties were modified in 1990 when the equity interest in the properties and the related obligations of the FMBs were sold by an affiliate of the Related General Partner to an unrelated third party. The modifications provide for the minimum pay rate increases from 6.0% per annum in 1990 to 7.5% per annum in March 1996. Beginning in March 1997, the pay rate will be 8.25% per annum. The difference between the minimum interest rate and the original stated rate is deferred and is payable out of available future cash flow. As part of this modification, the Partnership received $950,000 in 13% second mortgage notes with monthly interest and principal payments through December 1996. These notes are also partially secured by letters of credit. Deferred income equal to the amount of the promissory note was recorded in the statements of financial condition. As a result of this transaction, income is realized only as and when the Partnership receives payment on the promissory notes. The balances of both the promissory notes and deferred income was approximately $57,000 and $251,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. There was no loss recorded on this transaction because the valuation allowance previously established for these FMBs was in excess of the concessions granted. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the allowance relating to debt restructuring was approximately $296,000 and $366,000, respectively. Such allowance is accreted as interest income over the remaining term of the FMBs as long as the estimated fair value of the underlying properties is in excess of the carrying value of the related FMB. During 1991, a forbearance agreement was finalized with the owners of the North Glen property. The General Partners further modified the North Glen forbearance agreement on April 1993 to allow the owner to make debt payments at a pay rate of 6.0% per annum through December 1995 at which time the rate was scheduled to increase to the stated rate of 8.5% per annum, however, the General Partners extended the forbearance agreement through December 15, 1997. The pay rate for the Thomas Lake property is scheduled to increase in annual increments to the original stated rate of 8.5% in December 1996. In May 1992, Summit Tax Exempt Funding Corp., an affiliate of the Partnership, made a loan in the amount of $220,000 secured by a second mortgage on the Thomas Lake Property toward the payment of past due property taxes. In January 1993, this loan was assigned to the Partnership as part of the transaction in which the Partnership obtained a new credit facility. The loan requires interest only payments at the Citibank, N.A. prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1994) plus 2.0% per annum, payable monthly. Principal was due in full on April 15, 1995 but the loan was modified and extended. The modified loan is self-amortizing over thirty months at an 8.5% interest rate. During 1992, a forbearance agreement was finalized with the owner of the Sunset Terrace property. Terms of the agreement call for a reduced pay rate of 7.0% per annum through May 1993 with scheduled annual increments to the original stated rate of 8.0% per annum in May 1996. In 1992, the Partnership loaned approximately $220,000, in the aggregate, to the owners of The Mansion and Cedar Creek properties to enable them to pay property taxes. The loans were self-amortizing over two years with interest at 8.5% per annum beginning June 1992. These loans were recorded in operating results as a reduction in income from assets held for sale in 1992 because the FMBs were paying interest on a cash flow basis. Subsequent principal payments relating to these loans were recorded as income. These loans were fully repaid in the second quarter of 1994. -29- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P. (a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 NOTE 3 - Participating First Mortgage Bonds (continued) For several properties collateralizing FMBs (High Pointe Club securing an $8,900,000 FMB; Greenway Manor, securing a $12,850,000 FMB and Cedar Creek, securing an $8,100,000 FMB) the original owners of the underlying properties and obligors of the FMBs were replaced by affiliates of the Related General Partner who have not made equity investments in the underlying properties. These entities have assumed the day-to-day responsibilities and obligations of operating the underlying properties. Buyers are being sought who would make equity investments in the underlying properties and assume the nonrecourse obligations for the FMB's. Although certain of these properties are not producing sufficient cash flow to fully service the debt, the Partnership has no present intention to declare a default on these FMBs. The difference between the stated interest rates and the rates paid on certain FMBs is not accrued for financial statement purposes, although it is deferred and payable from available future cash flow and sale or refinancing proceeds. Interest income relating to these FMBs of approximately $1,571,000, $1,707,000, and $1,639,000 was not recorded for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The determination as to whether it is in the best interest of the Partnership to enter into forbearance agreements on the FMBs or, alternatively, to pursue its remedies under the loan documents, including foreclosure, is based upon several factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, property performance, owner cooperation and projected legal costs. The following FMB's interest income exceeded 15% of the Partnership's total revenue for one or more of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995: 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Cypress Run * 17% 17% The Mansion * 16% * *FMB's interest income was less than 15% of the Partnership's total revenue for the year.

(a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 NOTE 4 - Loan Payable On January 15, 1993, the Partnership entered into a loan agreement with an unaffiliated lender for a $15,000,000 credit facility with a maturity date of January 14, 1998 and an option to extend for two years for an additional fee. The debt service requirements include monthly interest only payments with a variable interest rate equal to the 30-day commercial paper interest rate (5.85% and 5.90% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively plus 4.05% with principal due at maturity. The facility is collateralized by a pledge of the FMBs and associated collateral of East Ridge, Martin's Creek, The Mansion, Thomas Lake and Sunset Terrace. The initial proceeds from this facility were used to repay a $10,000,000 credit facility guaranteed by the Partnership, to repay a $3,000,000 noninterest-bearing working capital loan made to the Partnership from the Related General Partner and to pay associated closing costs. The $10,000,000 credit facility had been used to pay for costs incurred to complete construction of the properties securing the High Pointe Club and Clarendon Hills FMBs and to fund a loan toward the payment of property taxes on the Thomas Lake property. The $3,000,000 working capital loan was used to supplement distributions commencing with the fourth quarter 1988 distribution. The unused portion of the Partnership's $15,000,000 credit facility is to be used for future working capital requirements and other cash requirements, as necessary, subject to the approval of the lender. In conjunction with the Partnership's credit facility and the repayment of the previously existing $10,000,000 credit facility, the Partnership was assigned nonrecourse notes in the amount of $6,600,000, $3,180,000 and $220,000 from the Clarendon Hills, High Pointe Club and Thomas Lake properties, respectively. The Clarendon Hills promissory note, secured by a deed of trust, requires monthly interest only payments of 8.0% per annum with the principal due on December 1, 2003. The unsecured High Pointe Club note also requires monthly interest only payments of 8.0% per annum with the principal due on December 31, 2003. Since the High Pointe Club property is paying interest on a cash flow basis, interest on the promissory note is only recorded when cash flow is received in excess of the stated rate. No interest on the High Pointe Club promissory note has been received or recorded through December 31, 1995. The assigned High Pointe Club note is subordinate to the High Pointe Club FMB and has been fully reserved. The Thomas Lake promissory note in the principal amount of $220,000, which is secured by a second mortgage on the property, matured in April 1995 and was modified and extended. The modified loan is self-amortizing over thirty months at an 8.5% interest rate. Clarendon Hills and Thomas Lake promissory notes are current on the interest payments through December 31, 1995. -32- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P.

Net income for tax purposes is generally exempt from Federal income tax. The differences between the tax and book bases of partners' capital are primarily attributable to the cumulative effect of the book to tax income adjustments, the recording of distributions and the Partnership's accounting for the FMBs at fair value for book purposes and cost for tax purposes. Effective October 1, 1995 the Related General Partner has assumed from PBP, the responsibilities and duties of the Tax Matters Partner as defined in the Partnership Agreement. -33- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P.

Prudential Securities Group, Inc. et al. (93 Civ. 654), was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, purportedly on behalf of investors in the Partnership against the Partnership, PBP, PSI and a number of other defendants. On November 16, 1993, a putative class action captioned Connelly et al v. Prudential-Bache Securities Inc. et al. (93 Civ. 713) , was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona , purportedly on behalf of investors in the Partnership against the Partnership, PBP, Prudential Securities Incorporated and a number of other defendants. On January 3, 1992, a putative class action, captioned Levine v. Prudential-Bache Properties Inc. et al. (92 Civ. 52), was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois purportedly on behalf of investors in the Partnership against the General Partners, PSI and a number of other defendants. Subsequently the Related General Partner exited the Levine litigation by way of settlement. By order dated April 14, 1994, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the Kinnes case, by order dated May 4, 1994, the Connelly case, and by order dated July 13, 1994, the Levine case, to a single judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and consolidated for pretrial proceedings under the caption In re Prudential Securities Incorporated Limited Partnerships Litigation (MDL Docket No. 1005). On June 8, 1994 plaintiffs in the transferred cases filed a complaint that consolidated the previously filed complaints and named as defendants, among others, PSI, certain of its present and former employees and the General Partners. The Partnership was not named a defendant in the consolidated complaint, but the name of the Partnership was listed as being among the limited partnerships at issue in the case. On August 9, 1995 PBP, PSI and other Prudential defendants entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Partial Compromise and Settlement with legal counsel representing plaintiffs in the consolidated actions. The court preliminarily approved the settlement agreement by order dated August 29, 1995 and, following a hearing held November 17, 1995, found that the agreement was fair, reasonable, adequate and in the best interests of the plaintiff class. The court gave final approval to the settlement, certified a class of purchasers of specific limited partnerships, including the Partnership, released all settled claims by members of the class against the PSI settling defendants and permanently barred and enjoined class members from instituting, commencing or prosecuting any settled claim against the released parties. The full amount due under the settlement agreement has been paid by PSI. The consolidated action remains pending against the Related General Partner and certain of its affiliates. The Related General Partner has been engaged in settlement negotiations with counsel for the plaintiffs. In the event a settlement cannot be reached, the Related General Partner believes it has meritorious defenses to the consolidated complaint and intends to vigorously defend against this action. -35- SUMMIT TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND, L.P.

EX-99 2 EX-10(AF) [Letterhead] May 1, 1996 Arc Way Associates Attn: Mr. Elliott Lewis Group Three North - Suite 400 3190 North East Expressway Access Road Atlanta, Georgia 30341 Dear Mr. Lewis: Arc Way Associates, a Georgia limited partnership organized and existing in the State of Georgia (the "Developer"), is the Developer and Owner of a 284-unit multifamily residential rental housing development known as North, Glen Apartments, located in Gwinnett County, Georgia (the "Project"). The cost of acquiring, constructing, improving and equipping the Project was financed by the Housing Authority of Gwinnett County (the "Issuer"), by the issuance of its Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Tempo Northridge Apartments Project) Series 1986, in the principal amount of $12,400,000 (the "Bonds"), pursuant to its Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bond (Tempo Northridge Apartments Project) Resolution adopted on July 7, 1986, as amended and restated on August 12, 1986 (the "Resolution"). The terms of the Bonds, the security therefor, the rights and remedies of the holders thereof, and various other matters in connection therewith were prescribed pursuant to the Resolution. Proceeds of the Bonds were loaned to the Developer pursuant to a Loan Agreement between the Issuer and the Developer dated as of July 1, 1986 (the "Loan Agreement"), evidenced by the Developer's promissory note (the "Note") in the amount of $12,400,000. The obligations of the Developer under the Loan Agreement and the Note are secured by a Building Loan Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement, dated as of July 1, 1986 (the "Building Loan Mortgage"), and various other loan documents defined in the Loan Agreement (collectively, the "Loan Documents"). All of the Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution were purchased and are owned as of this date by Summit Tax Exempt Bond Fund, L.P. ("Summit"), a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. [Address] Mr. Elliott Lewis June 1, 1993 Page Two As of December, 1990, the Developer had failed to pay certain amounts of Base Interest on the Note ("Base Interest") when due, which constituted an Event of Default pursuant to various provisions of the Resolution, Bonds and Loan Documents. Pursuant to Section 7.02(a) of the Resolution, Summit, as the single owner of the Bonds, is the designated "Acting Party" with the sole authority to take actions in respect of any Event of Default. The Developer requested that Summit, in its capacity as Acting Party, agree to forbear from enforcing its remedies under the various remedies provisions of the Resolution, Bonds and Loan Documents (collectively, the "Remedies Provisions") in connection with such defaults resulting from the non-payment of Base Interest when due, conditioned on the payment of such interest pursuant to a schedule proposed by the Developer. The Developer also requested that Summit agree to forbear from enforcing its remedies under the Remedies Provisions upon the future occurrence of defaults for the non-payment of Base Interest when due, conditioned on the payment of certain portions of such interest when due. Accordingly, the Developer and Summit entered into a letter agreement dated as of December 3, 1990, (the "1990 Letter Agreement"), whereby Summit agreed to forbear from enforcing its remedies under the Remedies Provisions based upon the partial payment of Base Interest, and on various other terms and conditions, all as set forth therein. Pursuant to the 1990 Letter Agreement, certain portions of the Base Interest which would have been due and payable between December 16, 1990 and December 15, 1992, were deferred in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. As of December, 1992, the Developer requested that Summit agree to forbear from enforcing its remedies under the Remedies Provisions upon the occurrence of further defaults for the non-payment of Base Interest when due, from and after December 15, 1992, again conditioned on the payment of certain portions of such interest when due. As consideration for such forbearance, the Developer agreed to the payment of a concession fee to Summit, to the establishment of a monthly escrow payment to provide for the future payment of real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when due, and to certain other matters. matters. Accordingly, Summit and the Developer entered into a second letter agreement dated as of June 1, 1993 (the "1993 Letter Agreement"), whereby certain portions of the Base Interest which would have been due and payable between December 16, 1992 and December 15, 1995, were deferred in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. The 1993 Letter Agreement also provided for the payment of a concession fee to Summit, to the establishment of a monthly tax and insurance escrow payment, and for certain other matters all as set forth therein. As of this date, the Developer has requested that Summit extend its agreement to forbear from enforcing its remedies under the Remedies Provisions upon the occurrence of further defaults for the non-payment of Base Interest when due, from and Mr. Elliott Lewis May 1, 1996 Page Three after December 15, 1995, again conditioned on the payment of certain portions of such interest when due. Accordingly, the Developer and Summit hereby agree to extend all the provisions, terms and conditions of the 1993 Letter Agreement with respect to the payment of Base Interest due and payable from December 16, 1995 through December 15, 1997, by deleting "3/16/93 - 12/15/95" under the "Time Period" heading in paragraph 2(d), and by inserting in lieu thereof "3/16/93 - 12/15/97." Except for this extension of the "Time Period" as set forth in paragraph 2(d), the Developer and Summit hereby agree that all the other provisions, terms and conditions of the 1993 Letter Agreement are hereby ratified and reaffirmed, and shall remain in full force and effect. If the above accurately sets forth the extension of time on which we have agreed, please return to us five (5) copies of this letter executed by you in the space provided below, at which time this letter shall constitute a binding first amendment to the 1993 Letter Agreement.
