DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE None 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$"). The Registrant's fiscal year for tax and financial reporting purposes ends on December 31 and March 31, respectively. The primary objectives of the Registrant are to provide the limited partners with low-income housing tax credits allowed under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Tax Credits") over the credit period for each Property in which the Registrant has invested and to a lesser extent, 10-year historic rehabilitation tax credits allowed under Section 48(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Registrant invested only in Local Partnerships that owned Properties which qualified for Tax Credits. No properties were acquired from any entity in which Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. (the former general partner) or any affiliate had an interest. The Registrant's investments are composed of limited partnership interests in Local Partnerships owning then newly constructed or existing structures that had undergone substantial rehabilitation. The Local Partnerships in which the Registrant has invested must be operated in accordance with the low-income housing rules and regulations to protect the related Tax Credits. It is not expected that any of the Local Partnerships in which the Registrant has invested will generate any significant cash flow from operations to provide distributions to the holders of BUC$ ("BUC$ holders") or the limited partners. As of March 31, 2006, the Registrant has disposed of 3 of its 8 original Properties. The Registrant expects that in order to avoid recapture of Tax Credits, its holding period with respect to each Local Partnership Interest will be at least as long as the 15-year compliance period ("Compliance Period") and may be substantially longer. The Tax Credits are attached to a Local Partnership for a period of 10 years (the "Tax Credit Period") and are transferable with the Property during the entirety of such ten year period. If trends in the real estate market warranted the sale of a Property, the remaining Tax Credits would transfer to the new owner, thereby adding value to the Property on the market. However, such value declines each year and is not included in the financial statement carrying amount. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the Property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time the Property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using the discounted cash flow valuation method). Through March 31, 2006, the Partnership has recorded $2,700,000 as a loss on impairment of assets or reduction to estimated fair value. While the value of the remaining Tax Credits are a factor in calculating fair value, the expiration of the Tax Credit Period, in and of itself, is not the only factor in determining whether there is an impairment and generally does not have any adverse impact on the fair value of the Local Partnerships. As of December 31, 2002, all the Local Partnerships completed their Tax Credit Periods and the Registrant has met its primary objective of generating Tax Credits for qualified BUC$ holders. However, each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits. The Compliance Period will end at various dates through December 31, 2007 with respect to the Properties depending upon when the 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 general partner of the local partnership (the "Local General Partner") owning the complex was required to 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. Two Properties had revenue which exceeded 15% of the Registrant's total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2006 and one Property had revenue which exceeded 15% of the Registrant's total revenue in each of the two years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Revenue from Palm Beach Apartments Ltd. ("Summer Creek Villas") as a percentage of the Registrant's total revenue was 41.04%, 56.03% and 55.31% during the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenue from Cutler Canal II Associates, Ltd. ("Cutler Canal II") as a percentage of the Registrant's total revenue was 19.17% for the year ended March 31, 2006. Cutler Canal II and Summer Creek Villas were sold during the year ended March 31, 2006. 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, 2006. 2 General Partner --------------- The general partner of the Registrant is RCC Partners 96 L.L.C. (the "General Partner") and is an affiliate of CharterMac Capital LLC ("CharterMac Capital") (formerly known as Related Capital Company LLC). Independence SLP L.P. ("SLP"), an affiliate of CharterMac Capital, is the special limited partner. On November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired CharterMac Capital, which is the parent of RCC Manager LLC, 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. On November 8, 2005, CharterMac announced that Stuart J. Boesky would step down as Chief Executive Officer and trustee of CharterMac. Upon his stepping down, which was effective on November 15, 2005, he also resigned from his position as Member, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the General Partner. Mr. Boesky will stay on as a consultant to CharterMac for the next year in order to ensure a smooth transition. On March 14, 2006, CharterMac's Board of Trustees named Marc D. Schnitzer the Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Schnitzer replaced Stephen M. Ross, who had served as interim Chief Executive Officer since Stuart J. Boesky resigned in November of 2005. Mr. Schnitzer also replaced Mr. Boesky as Member, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the General Partner. Sales of Underlying Properties ------------------------------ The Registrant is currently in the process of disposing of its investments. It is anticipated that this process will take a number of years. As of March 31, 2006, the Registrant sold the Property and the related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships. In addition, the Registrant entered into an agreement for the sale of one Local Partnership (see Note 13 in Item 8). There can be no assurance as to when the Registrant will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Registrant will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investment. On March 28, 2006, the Registrant sold the Property and the related assets and liabilities of Cutler Canal II to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for $9,000,000. The sale resulted in a non-cash contribution by the Local General Partner of approximately $1,948,000. The sale resulted in the liquidation of Cutler Canal II. As of the sale date, Cutler Canal II had property and equipment, at cost, of approximately $11,540,000, accumulated depreciation of approximately $4,279,000 and mortgage debt of approximately $5,538,000. On January 18, 2006, the Registrant sold the Property and the related assets and liabilities of RMB Limited Partnership (Hubbard's Ridge) ("Hubbard's Ridge") to a third party purchaser for $4,950,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,101,000. The sale resulted in the liquidation of Hubbard's Ridge. As of the sale date, Hubbard's Ridge had property and equipment, at cost, of approximately $5,311,000, accumulated depreciation of approximately $2,719,000 and mortgage debt of approximately $4,423,000. On July 14, 2005, the Registrant sold the Property and the related assets and liabilities of Summer Creek Villas to an unrelated third party purchaser for $45,500,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $12,784,000. The net proceeds received were used to repay the mortgage and certain advances (including accrued interest) made to Summer Creek Villas by the General Partner and its affiliates, as required by the limited partnership agreement of Summer Creek Villas. As of the sale date, Summer Creek Villas had property and equipment, at cost, of approximately $40,833,000, accumulated depreciation of approximately $14,611,000 and mortgage debt of approximately $22,884,000. 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. Financial information about this segment is set forth in Item 8 hereto. Competition ----------- The General Partner and/or its affiliates have 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. Inflation --------- 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. Item 1A. Risk Factors The Registrant's investment as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships is subject to the risks incident to the potential losses arising from management and ownership of improved real estate. The Registrant's investments also could be adversely affected by poor economic conditions, generally, which could increase vacancy levels and rental payment defaults, and by increased operating expenses, any or all of which could threaten the financial viability of one or more of the Local Partnerships. There also are substantial risks associated with the operations of Apartment Complexes receiving government assistance. These include governmental regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to rent apartments in the complexes; difficulties in obtaining government approval for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of income which low and moderate-income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable the Department of Housing and Urban Development to 3 make the rental assistance payments it has contracted to make; and that when the rental assistance contracts expire there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents in a Local Partnership's Apartment Complex. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments Not applicable Item 2. Properties. As of March 31, 2006, the Registrant holds interests in five remaining Local Partnerships which own the following Properties which continue to be operated in a manner to qualify for Tax Credits:
Occupancy Rate Rents as of as of Property Number of Units May 1, 2006 May 1, 2006 --------------------------------------------- --------------- ------------- -------------- Diamond Street Venture Philadelphia, PA 48 473-540 88% Papillion Heights Apartments L.P. Papillion, NE 48 495 73% Hill Top Homes Apartments Limited Partnership Arlington, TX 171 565-770 81% Brookland Park Plaza Limited Partnership Richmond, VA 77 563 83% Compton Townhouses Limited Partnership Cincinnati, OH 39 765 97%
(a) At March 31, 2006, the Registrant holds a 98% interest in Hill Top Homes and Compton Townhouses and a 98.99% interest in Diamond Street, Papillion Heights and Brookland Park Plaza. Diamond Street consists of 48 units in 16 buildings. The buildings are three-story brownstone row houses with historic features and similar layouts. Of the 48 apartment units, 46 are two-bedroom apartment units and two are efficiency apartment units. Papillion Heights consists of two buildings, each containing 24 units. The buildings are 2 1/2 stories of wood frame and brick exterior with pitched roofs. Of the total 48 apartment units, two are one-bedroom units and 46 are two-bedroom units. Hill Top Homes is comprised of a two-story building surrounded by 13 one-story fourplexes which are brick with wood siding and pitched roofs. The buildings are surrounded by a security gate of brick columns and wrought iron fencing with a guard house at the entrance. Of the total 171 apartment units, 18 are three-bedroom/one bath apartment units, each comprising approximately 925 square feet; 52 are two-bedroom/two bath apartment units, each comprising approximately 1,100 square feet; 98 are two-bedroom/one bath apartment units, each comprising approximately 936 square feet; and three are one-bedroom/one bath apartment units, each comprising approximately 1,000 square feet. Brookland Park Plaza is a three-level brick building and is a registered historic landmark. The building is comprised of stucco and brick exterior and a sloped red glazed tile roof. It is a 77-unit development with 68,564 net rentable square feet. All 77 units are one-bedroom apartment units each comprising approximately 890 square feet. Each unit contains a refrigerator, range oven, carpeting and air-conditioning. Brookland Park Plaza also maintains a community room for tenants.

For additional information describing the Registrant's properties and encumbrances, see Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Schedule III - Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation. Item 3. Legal Proceedings None Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None 4 PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's BUC$, Related Limited Partner Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities As of May 16, 2006, there were 2,219 BUC$ 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$. There are no material restrictions upon the Registrant's present or future ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement; however, the Registrant has paid no distributions from operations or otherwise since inception. No distributions are anticipated in the foreseeable future. Transfer Procedures ------------------- The Registrant from time to time receives requests by unit holders and others to transfer BUC$ and/or limited partnership interests. Such requests may occur in connection with tender offers for the Registrant's units. Such requests implicate the Registrant's policies and procedures concerning transfers generally and tender offers in particular, which were adopted by the Registrant pursuant to the terms of its Registrant Agreement, to ensure compliance with applicable law, avoid adverse tax consequences for the Registrant and its investors, and preserve the Registrant's advantageous tax status. In prior years, the Registrant relied on the 5% safe harbor established by Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations to avoid being characterized as a "publicly-traded partnership" that is taxed as a corporation. The 5% safe harbor, however, expired and is no longer available as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, the Registrant now relies on a 2% safe harbor established by another IRS regulation to avoid being characterized as a "publicly-traded partnership" that is taxed as a corporation. A brief summary of certain of the Registrant's key policies, practices and requirements with respect to transfers and tender offers is as follows: o No transfer (whether for substitution, assignment or otherwise) is effective or binding on the Registrant unless and until it is approved by the General Partner. o No transfer will be approved unless the transferor and transferee submit complete and properly executed forms of the Registrant's own transfer documentation. The Registrant does not accept forms of transfer documentation other than its own and does not accept signatures made by power of attorney in lieu of original signatures by each of the transferors and transferees. o The Registrant will not approve transfers that in the cumulative aggregate for any tax year exceed the IRS 2% safe harbor, unless a financially responsible person provides the Registrant and its partners with (i) an indemnity (in form and substance in all ways acceptable to the General Partner) for all liability (including, without limitation, any adverse tax consequences) arising from or relating to exceeding the 2% safe harbor and (ii) a legal opinion (in form and substance in all ways acceptable to the General Partner) that there will be no adverse tax consequences to the Registrant and its partners from exceeding the 2% safe harbor. o It order to avoid the undesirable situation of one or more tender offers consuming the entire safe harbor limitation early in the tax year and leaving the Registrant's remaining investors with no liquidity opportunity for the rest of that tax year, the Registrant restricts the cumulative aggregate total of transfers made pursuant to all tender offers to 1.5% of its outstanding units in each tax year, unless a financially responsible person conducting such tender offer provides the Registrant with an acceptable indemnity and legal opinion of the type described above. At the end of each tax year, the General Partner, in its discretion, may allow the cumulative total number of transfers (including those by tender offer) to reach the 2% safe harbor limit. o The Registrant requires that all tender offers for its units be conducted in accordance with all applicable law including, without limitation, the federal securities laws. The foregoing is solely a summary of the Registrant's policies, requirements and practices with respect to transfers and tender offers. More complete information, including a copy of the Registrant's transfer documentation package, may be obtained from the Registrant. 5 Item 6.

* Reclassified for comparative purposes. 6 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- The Registrant originally 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 Tax Credits. As of March 31, 2006, the Partnership sold the property and the related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships. See Note 11 in Item 8 for a discussion of Sale of Properties. In addition, the Partnership subsequently entered into an agreement for the sale of one Local Partnership. See Note 13 in Item 8 for a discussion of Subsequent Events. Short-Term ---------- The Registrant's primary source of funds is rental revenues, which are fully utilized at the Property level. As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $1,864,000 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. Without the General Partner's continued allowance of accrual without payment of certain fees, expense reimbursements and advances, the Registrant would not be in a position to meet its obligations. For the year ended March 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents of the Registrant and its consolidated Local Partnerships increased approximately $1,272,000. The increase is attributable to net proceeds from sale of property ($45,500,000) and a net increase in due to Local General Partners and affiliates of Local Partnerships, the General Partner and its affiliates ($2,015,000) which exceeded net cash used in operating activities ($6,831,000), investment in property ($18,000), costs paid relating to sale of property ($7,671,000), payments of mortgage notes ($23,565,000) and repayments to the General Partner ($8,157,000). Included in adjustments to reconcile the net income to net cash used in operating activities is depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,884,000 and a gain on sale of property of approximately $14,825,000. Other accrued expenses and liabilities are short term liabilities which are expected to be paid from operating cash flows, working capital balances at the Local Partnership level, Local General Partner advances and, in certain circumstances, advances from the Registrant. Because the provisions of the secondary loans defer the payment of accrued interest of the respective Local Partnerships, the Registrant believes it (and the applicable Local Partnerships) has sufficient liquidity and ability to generate cash and to meet existing and known or reasonably likely future cash requirements over both the short and long term. Long-Term --------- Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to approximately $1,292,000 and $1,138,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Without the General Partner's continued allowance of accrual without payment of certain fees, expense reimbursements and advances, the Registrant would not be in a position to meet its obligations. 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 Partnerships in accordance with the respective deficit guaranty agreements. In addition, the Registrant's financial statements as of March 31, 2006 and 2005 also reflect payables of $523,859 and $501,271, respectively, under operating deficit guaranty agreements at Hill Top Homes, which have expired. As of March 31, 2006, all operating deficit guaranty agreements have expired. The resolution of contingencies, if any, affecting Local Partnerships is not anticipated to impact future results of operations, liquidity or financial condition in a material way because the maximum loss the Registrant would be liable for is its net investment in the respective Local Partnerships. However, the Registrant's loss of its investment in a Local Partnership may result in recapture of Tax Credits if the investment is lost before expiration of the Compliance Period. Management is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties which have not otherwise been disclosed that will or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is diversified by the location of the Properties around the United States so that if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the remaining Properties in the portfolio may be experiencing upswings. However, the geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general downturn in the national economy. The Registrant has invested the proceeds of its offering in eight Local Partnerships, all of which have had their Tax Credits fully in place. The Tax Credits are attached to the Property for a period of ten years, and are transferable with the Property during the remainder of the ten-year period. If trends in the real estate market warranted the sale of a Property, the remaining Tax Credits would transfer to the new owner, thereby adding value to the Property on the market. However, such value declines each year and is not included in the financial statement carrying amount. The Compliance Period will end at various dates through December 31, 2007 with respect to the Properties depending upon when the Tax Credit period commenced. Summer Creek Villas Local Partnership ------------------------------------- On July 14, 2005, the Property and the related assets and liabilities of Summer Creek Villas were sold to an unrelated third party purchaser (see Note 11). The buyer absorbed any and all costs to the Property caused by recent hurricanes (see below) that had been unrepaired at closing. At the date of sale, the insurance claim with respect to the hurricane damage was in the resolution stage with the insurance company; all insurance proceeds will be paid to Summer Creek Villas, rather than the buyer, with no further potential liability on the part of Summer Creek Villas. For several years prior to its sale, Summer Creek Villas had experienced lower than expected economic occupancy levels, which resulted in recurring losses from operations and adversely affected the liquidity of Summer Creek Villas. Despite an increase in rent levels during 2004 and 2003, Summer Creek Villas' operations were impeded by its inability to raise rents sufficiently to pay for its operating and debt costs. Summer Creek Villas was unable to obtain maximum rents as potential residents were restricted based on county median income levels, 7 which limit the maximum income that a prospective resident can earn. Summer Creek Villas had been obligated, since 1996, to repay significant amounts of principal on its mortgage. Effective January 1, 1999, Summer Creek Villas entered into a funding agreement with Palm Beach Investor, L.P. (Summer Creek Villas' "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 provided for a second series of loans to Summer Creek Villas in each of the years 2002, 2003 and 2004, in amounts not to exceed $1,500,000 in the aggregate. Although no formal agreements were reached with the other partners, additional loans from the Registrant (which is the Class A limited partner) were obtained in accordance with the loans to be provided under the funding agreement. Loans made through July 14, 2005 to fund operating deficits total $14,493,656 and are comprised of $10,993,656 from the Registrant (which was eliminated in consolidation) and $3,700,000 from the Class C limited partner, which included an emergency hurricane repair advance of $200,000. On September 3, 2004, Summer Creek Villas was damaged by Hurricane Frances. Additional damage was caused by Hurricane Jeanne on September 25, 2004. The hurricanes caused extensive damage which required roofing to be replaced on substantially all of the buildings of Summer Creek Villas. In addition, Summer Creek Villas incurred costs to clean up after the hurricanes and costs to repair damages to certain units. In total, damages were estimated to be approximately $1,218,000. As of July 14, 2005 the insurance claim with respect to the hurricane damage had not been settled and repairs had not begun. There was a delay because the insurance company was in the process of determining whether the entire roof of each building needs to be replaced. Repairs, which are now the responsibility of the buyer, are expected to consist of removing existing roofing material and installing new roofing material. Through July 14, 2005 Summer Creek Villas incurred $255,000 of costs associated with temporary repairs and clean-up. 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 2006 vs. Fiscal 2005 --------------------------- Rental income decreased approximately $95,000 for the year ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 2005, primarily due to decreases in occupancy at two Local Partnerships partially offset by rental rate increases at the other Local Partnerships. Other income increased approximately $5,000 for the year ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 2005, primarily due to an increase in tenant charges at one Local Partnership offset by a decrease in laundry and vending income at a second Local Partnership. Total expenses, excluding taxes and insurance, remained fairly consistent with a decrease of approximately 1%. Taxes and insurance increased approximately $42,000 for the year ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 2005, primarily due to a low real estate tax assessment in the prior year at one Local Partnership and increased insurance premiums at a second Local Partnership. Fiscal 2005 vs. Fiscal 2004 --------------------------- Rental income increased approximately $147,000 for the year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due to increases in occupancy at one Limited Partnership. Other income decreased approximately $18,000 for the year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due to an increase in tenant charges in the prior year at one Local Partnership. Total expenses, excluding taxes and insurance and repairs and maintenance remained fairly consistent with an increase of approximately 2%. Taxes and insurance decreased approximately $52,000 for the year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due to a lower real estate tax assessment in 2005 at one Local Partnership. Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $48,000 for the year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due to an increase in maintenance contracts at one Local Partnership and an increase in cleaning and maintenance, salaries, decorating contracts and supplies at a second Local Partnership. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations --------------------------------------------- The following table summarizes the Registrant's commitments as of March 31, 2006 to make future payments under its debt agreements and other contractual obligations.

(a) Mortgage notes are collateralized by land, buildings and improvements and leases related thereto. Mortgage notes consist of both first mortgages and support loans (second and third mortgages). 8 Off Balance Sheet Arrangements ------------------------------ The Registrant 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. Critical Accounting Policies ---------------------------- Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements: a) Property and Equipment Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, and any other costs incurred in acquiring the Properties. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in earnings. The Registrant complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the Property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time Property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash flows) when the Property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value. Through March 31, 2006, the Registrant has recorded $2,700,000 as a loss on impairment of assets or reductions to estimated fair value. b) Revenue Recognition Rental income is earned primarily under standard residential operating leases and is typically due the first day of each month, but can vary by Property due to the terms of the tenant leases. Rental income is recognized when earned and charged to tenants' accounts receivable if not received by the due date. Rental payments received in advance of the due date are deferred until earned. Rental subsidies are recognized as rental income during the month in which it is earned. Other revenues are recorded when earned and consist of the following items: Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and cash held in escrow balances, income from forfeited security deposits, late charges, laundry and vending income and other rental related items. c) Income Taxes The Registrant 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 Registrant may be subject to other state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax purposes, the Registrant's year ends on December 31. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets ------------------------------- The Registrant is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which consists primarily of 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. New Accounting Pronouncements ----------------------------- In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("FAS 154"). FAS 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes" ("APB No. 20") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements". APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period's net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. In contrast, FAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively to prior periods' financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. In addition, FAS 154 makes a distinction between retrospective application of an accounting principle and the restatement of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Registrant does not expect the adoption of FAS 154 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations. In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force No. 04-5, "Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights" ("EITF No. 04-5"). EITF No. 04-5 replaces counterpart requirements in the Statement of Position 78-9, which provides guidance on accounting for investments in real estate ventures and limited partnerships. Under EITF No. 04-5, the general partner's control would be overcome if the limited partners have either (i) "kick-out rights"- the right to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner "without cause" or (ii) "participating rights" - the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership's business. The kick-out rights and the participating rights must be substantive in order to overcome the general partner's control. EITF No. 04-5 is now effective. Since the Registrant's financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, the adoption of EITF No. 04-5 has not had a material effect on the Registrant's consolidated results of operations. 9 Property Information -------------------- The Registrant currently holds interests in five of its original eight Local Partnerships.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk The Registrant does not believe there is a material risk associated with the various interest rates associated with the mortgage notes as the majority of the Local Partnership mortgage notes have fixed rates. The Registrant currently discloses in Item 8, Note 5 to the financial statements the fair value of the mortgage notes payable. The Registrant does not have any other market risk sensitive instruments. 10 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

11 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, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. 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 years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, we did not audit the financial statements of certain investee partnerships which represent $6,800,462 and $9,074,073, respectively, in total assets and $1,495,773, $(470,468), and $(915,112), respectively, of the net income (loss) as of and for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 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. The Partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations, changes in Partners' capital (deficit), and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ REZNICK GROUP, P.C.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 24 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P. (a limited partnership) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006 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 CharterMac Capital LLC ("CharterMac Capital") (formerly known as Related Capital Company LLC). On November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired CharterMac Capital, which is the parent of RCC Manager LLC, 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. On November 8, 2005, CharterMac announced that Stuart J. Boesky would step down as Chief Executive Officer and trustee of CharterMac. Upon his stepping down, which was effective on November 15, 2005, he also resigned from his position as Member, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the General Partner. Mr. Boesky will stay on as a consultant to CharterMac for the next year in order to ensure a smooth transition. On March 14, 2006, CharterMac's Board of Trustees named Marc D. Schnitzer the Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Schnitzer replaced Stephen M. Ross, who had served as interim Chief Executive Officer since Stuart J. Boesky resigned in November of 2005. Mr. Schnitzer also replaced Mr. Boesky as Member, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the General Partner. Independence SLP L.P. ("SLP"), an affiliate of CharterMac Capital, 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, 2006, the Partnership has investments in five Local Partnerships. Through the year ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership has sold the Property and the related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships (see Note 11 for discussion of sales). 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 principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 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 accounts of the Partnership and 8 subsidiary partnerships, in which the Partnership is a limited partner, with an ownership interest ranging from approximately 66.5% to 98.99%. All intercompany accounts and transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have been eliminated in consolidation. All subsidiary partnerships have fiscal years ending December 31. The Partnership has a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary partnerships through its rights to remove the general partner of the subsidiary partnerships and to approve certain major operating and financial decisions. These rights may be exercised by the General Partner of the Partnership and/or an affiliate, which affiliate has a contractual obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership. Minority interest in Local Partnerships relates to the general partner interests in the Local Partnerships (the "Local General Partners") not owned by the Partnership. The Local General Partners and their affiliates have advanced funds to the operating partnerships under the terms of various deficit guarantees, which are reported as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Therefore, the Partnership continues to allocate losses to the minority interests to the extent of the Local General Partners' capital investment plus advances. The local general partner advances generally carry a repayment priority from distributable cash flow generated by 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 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 with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition whose cost approximates market value. 25 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P. (a limited partnership) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006 d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Held in Escrow Cash and cash equivalents held in escrow include restricted funds with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition held for payment of real estate taxes and insurance, tenant security deposits and replacement reserves. e) Revenue Recognition Rental income is earned primarily under standard residential operating leases and is typically due the first day of each month, but can vary by property due to the terms of the tenant leases. Rental income is recognized when earned and charged to tenant's accounts receivable if not received by the due date. Rental payments received in advance of the due date are deferred until earned. Rental subsidies are recognized as rental income during the month in which it is earned. Other revenues are recorded when earned and consist of the following items: Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and cash held in escrow balances, income from forfeited security deposits, late charges, laundry and vending income and other rental related items. f) Income 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. g) 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, 2006, no distributions have been paid. h) New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("FAS 154"). FAS 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes" ("APB No. 20") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements". APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period's net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. In contrast, FAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively to prior periods' financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. In addition, FAS 154 makes a distinction between retrospective application of an accounting principle and the restatement of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of FAS 154 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations. In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force No. 04-5, "Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights" ("EITF No. 04-5"). EITF No. 04-5 replaces counterpart requirements in the Statement of Position 78-9, which provides guidance on accounting for investments in real estate ventures and limited partnerships. Under EITF No. 04-5, the general partner's control would be overcome if the limited partners have either (i) "kick-out rights"- the right to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner "without cause" or (ii) "participating rights" - the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership's business. The kick-out rights and the participating rights must be substantive in order to overcome the general partner's control. EITF No. 04-5 is now effective. Since the Partnership's financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, the adoption of EITF No. 04-5 has not had a material effect on the Partnership's consolidated results of operations. 26 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P. (a limited partnership) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006 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 components of deferred financing costs and their periods of amortization are as follows:
March 31, ---------------------------- Period 2006 2005 (Months) ---------- ----------- -------- Deferred financing costs $ 421,989 $ 5,328,863 ** Less: Accumulated amortization (230,860) (4,319,436) ---------- ----------- $ 191,129 $ 1,009,427 ========== ===========
** Over the life of the respective mortgages. Amortization of deferred financing costs from operations for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $14,498, $14,499 and $27,537, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, there were net decreases in deferred costs of $4,906,874 and $0 and net decreases in accumulated amortization of $4,277,002 and $0, respectively, due to write-offs from discontinued operations. 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 6). 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. 27 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P.

(c) The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the year ended March 31, 2006. 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 ------------ 2006 $ 262,461 2007 1,327,644 2008 1,314,158 2009 247,147 2010 267,996 Thereafter 6,824,559 ------------ $ 10,243,965 ============ Mortgage notes consist of both first mortgages and support loans (second and third mortgages). First mortgages amounting to $7,803,965 bear interest at rates ranging from 5.83% to 9.05% and have final maturities ranging from August 1, 2007 to May 1, 2031. The support loans include two loans totaling $2,440,000 maturing on December 15, 2014 and March 1, 2031, the latter of which bears interest at 1%, and the former being non-interest bearing. In April 2003, Papillion Heights refinanced its outstanding mortgage note payable in the amount of $958,143.

These estimates were based upon the present value of expected cash flows discounted at rates currently available to the Local Partnerships for similar loans. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, and are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters 28 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P.

Expense reimbursements and asset monitoring fees owed to the General Partner and its affiliates amounting to approximately $273,000 and $105,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. (c) As of December 31, 2005, the properties owned by six of the Local Partnerships were managed by a Local General Partner or its affiliates and one Local Partnership (which was sold July 14, 2005) was managed by an affiliate of the General Partner and Local General Partner. Property management fees incurred by subsidiary partnerships amounted to $338,637, $410,854 and $431,166 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Of these fees $315,979, $384,456 and $393,319 were earned by affiliates of the Local General Partners, (which includes $208,022, $272,824 and $290,776 relating to discontinued operations) of which $97,956, $167,238 and $159,865 were also earned by affiliates of the Partnership. (d) Independence SLP L.P., a special limited partner of the subsidiary partnerships, is entitled to receive a local administrative fee of up to $5,000 per year from each subsidiary partnership. Substantially all of the existing liabilities of the Partnership are payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates. Though the amounts payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates are contractually currently payable, the Partnership anticipates that the General Partner and/or its affiliates will not require the payment of these contractual obligations until capital reserves are in excess of the aggregate of then existing contractual obligations and then anticipated future foreseeable obligations of the Partnership. 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. 29 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P.

The principal and accrued interest are due at the earlier of the sale or refinancing of the property or December 31, 2007. Interest expense incurred to Hill Top's Local General Partners and their affiliates for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are included in the line item "Interest-related parties" in the financial statements.

b) During the year ended March 31, 2006, the General Partner and its affiliates advanced $550,000 to the Partnership to make operating advances to Summer Creek Villas Local Partnership ("Summer Creek Villas"). As of March 31, 2006 and 2005, total advances outstanding to Summer Creek Villas were $1,618,835 and $10,743,656, respectively. The advances were unsecured, bearing interest at prime +2%, and were payable from cash flow as defined by the limited partnership agreement of Summer Creek Villas. In addition, the Local General Partners made a loan to Summer Creek Villas in connection with the construction financing and development of the Property in the amount of $3,700,000, bearing interest at prime + 2%, with repayments to be made from available cash flows or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds of Summer Creek Villas.

On July 14, 2005, the Property and the related assets and liabilities of Summer Creek Villas were sold to an unrelated third party purchaser (see Note 11). Certain advances and loans (including accrued interest) made to Summer Creek Villas were repaid from available net sale proceeds as defined by the limited partnership agreement of Summer Creek Villas. NOTE 7 - Local General Partners and Affiliates of Local Partnerships Due to Local General Partners and affiliates of Local Partnerships includes amounts payable for accrued interest, advances, property management fees and operating loans made in accordance with operating deficit guaranty agreements. The Partnership had negotiated operating deficit guaranty agreements with certain Local General Partners and/or their affiliates by which the general partners and/or their affiliates of the Local Partnerships have agreed to fund operating deficits for a specified period of time. The terms of the operating deficit guaranty agreements varied for each Local Partnership, with maximum dollar amounts to be funded for a specified period of time, generally three years, commencing on the break-even date. As of March 31, 2006, all operating deficit guaranty agreements have expired. The Local General Partner of Summer Creek Villas was obligated to fund operating deficits pursuant to two separate operating deficit guaranty agreements. All operating deficit guaranty agreements have either been fully funded or have expired. In prior years the General Partner had elected to treat all advances made under the operating deficit guaranty agreements as non-repayable. At both March 31, 2006 and 2005, development fees of $1,151,510 were payable to various Local General Partners. 30 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P.

* Reclassified for comparative purposes. ** The second quarter income from discontinued operations and net income previously reported on the 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect a change in estimate of forgiveness of debt associated with the sale of property totaling approximately $3.6 million which had been reflected as a non-cash contribution by the general partner NOTE 9 - Concentration of Credit Risk The Partnership maintains its cash in several banks which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for a balance up to $100,000. At times during 2005, the account balances exceeded the FDIC limit. NOTE 10 - Commitments and Contingencies Subsidiary Partnership - Other Summer Creek Villas Local Partnership ------------------------------------- On July 14, 2005, the Property and the related assets and liabilities of Summer Creek Villas were sold to an unrelated third party purchaser (see Note 11). The buyer absorbed any and all costs to the Property caused by recent hurricanes (see below) that had been unrepaired at closing. At the date of sale, the insurance claim with respect to the hurricane damage was in the resolution stage with the insurance company; all insurance proceeds will be paid to Summer Creek Villas, rather than the buyer, with no further potential liability on the part of Summer Creek Villas. For several years prior to its sale, Summer Creek Villas had experienced lower than expected economic occupancy levels, which resulted in recurring losses from operations and adversely affected the liquidity of Summer Creek Villas. Despite an increase in rent levels during 2004 and 2003, Summer Creek Villas' operations were impeded by its inability to raise rents sufficiently to pay for its operating and debt costs. Summer Creek Villas was unable to obtain maximum rents as potential residents were restricted based on county median income levels, 31 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P. (a limited partnership) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006 which limit the maximum income that a prospective resident can earn. Summer Creek Villas had been obligated, since 1996, to repay significant amounts of principal on its mortgage. Effective January 1, 1999, Summer Creek Villas entered into a funding agreement with Palm Beach Investor, L.P. (Summer Creek Villas' "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 provided for a second series of loans to Summer Creek Villas in each of the years 2002, 2003 and 2004, in amounts not to exceed $1,500,000 in the aggregate. Although no formal agreements were reached with the other partners, additional loans from the Partnership (which is the Class A limited partner) were obtained in accordance with the loans to be provided under the funding agreement. Loans made through July 14, 2005 to fund operating deficits total $14,493,656 and are comprised of $10,993,656 from the Partnership (which was eliminated in consolidation) and $3,700,000 from the Class C limited partner, which included an emergency hurricane repair advance of $200,000. On September 3, 2004, Summer Creek Villas was damaged by Hurricane Frances. Additional damage was caused by Hurricane Jeanne on September 25, 2004. The hurricanes caused extensive damage which required roofing to be replaced on substantially all of the buildings of Summer Creek Villas. In addition, Summer Creek Villas incurred costs to clean up after the hurricanes and costs to repair damages to certain units. In total, damages were estimated to be approximately $1,218,000. As of July 14, 2005 the insurance claim with respect to the hurricane damage had not been settled and repairs had not begun. There was a delay because the insurance company was in the process of determining whether the entire roof of each building needs to be replaced. Repairs, which are now the responsibility of the buyer, are expected to consist of removing existing roofing material and installing new roofing material. Through July 14, 2005 Summer Creek Villas incurred $255,000 of costs associated with temporary repairs and clean-up. NOTE 11 - Sale of Properties The Partnership is currently in the process of disposing of its investments. It is anticipated that this process will take a number of years. As of March 31, 2006, the Partnership sold the Property and the related assets and liabilities of three Local Partnerships. In addition, the Partnership subsequently entered into an agreement for the sale of one Local Partnership (see Note 13). There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investment. On March 28, 2006, the Partnership sold the Property and the related assets and liabilities of Cutler Canal II to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for $9,000,000. The sale resulted in a non-cash contribution by the Local General Partner of approximately $1,948,000. The sale resulted in the liquidation of Cutler Canal II. As of the sale date, Cutler Canal II had property and equipment, at cost, of approximately $11,540,000, accumulated depreciation of approximately $4,279,000 and mortgage debt of approximately $5,538,000. On January 18, 2006, the Partnership sold the Property and the related assets and liabilities of RMB Limited Partnership (Hubbard's Ridge) ("Hubbard's Ridge") to a third party purchaser for $4,950,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,101,000. The sale resulted in the liquidation of Hubbard's Ridge. As of the sale date, Hubbard's Ridge had property and equipment, at cost, of approximately $5,311,000, accumulated depreciation of approximately $2,719,000 and mortgage debt of approximately $4,423,000. On July 14, 2005, the Partnership sold the Property and the related assets and liabilities of Summer Creek Villas to an unrelated third party purchaser for $45,500,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $12,784,000. The net proceeds received were used to repay the mortgage and certain advances (including accrued interest) made to Summer Creek Villas by the General Partner and its affiliates, as required by the limited partnership agreement of Summer Creek Villas. As of the sale date, Summer Creek Villas had property and equipment, at cost, of approximately $40,833,000, accumulated depreciation of approximately $14,611,000 and mortgage debt of approximately $22,884,000. On March 31, 2006, Summer Creek Villas had receivables of $1,030,000 due from the management company related to sales proceeds which is included in other assets. 32 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P. (a limited partnership) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006 NOTE 12 - Discontinued Operations The following table summarizes the results of operations of the Local Partnerships that are classified as discontinued operations.

33 PATRIOT TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES L.P. (a limited partnership) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2006 NOTE 13 - Subsequent Event On April 22, 2006, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the property and the related assets and liabilities of Brookland Park Plaza Limited Partnership ("Brookland") to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a purchase price of $2,800,000. The sales documents have been executed and the initial deposit funds are being held in escrow. No assurance can be given that the sale will actually occur. The closing is expected to occur in July 2006. At March 31, 2006, Brookland was not classified as an asset held for sale, as it did not meet the criteria under FAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". As of March 31, 2006, Brookland had property and equipment, at cost, of approximately $6,418,000, accumulated depreciation of approximately $3,557,000 and mortgage debt of approximately $2,250,000. 34 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of RCC Partners 96, L.L.C., the General Partner of the Registrant, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. (b) INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. There have not been any changes in Registrant's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting. Item 9B. Other Information None. PART III Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant There are no directors or executive officers of the Registrant. The Registrant is managed by the General Partner. The Registrant, the Registrant's General Partner and its members and executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of the Registrant's BUC$ are required to report their initial ownership of such BUC$ and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 3, 4 and 5. Such executive officers, directors, and persons who own greater than ten percent of the Registrant's BUC$ are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Registrant with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file. All of these filing requirements were satisfied on a timely basis. In making these disclosures, the Registrant relied solely on written representations of the General Partner, and its members and certain officers, if any, or copies of the reports they have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during and with respect to its most recent fiscal year. The Partnership has not adopted a separate code of ethics because the Partnership has no directors or executive officers. However, the parent company of CharterMac Capital LLC ("CharterMac Capital') (formerly known as Related Capital Company LLC) which controls the General Partner has adopted a code of ethics (see http://www.chartermac.com). The general partner of the Registrant is RCC Partners 96 L.L.C. (the "General Partner") and is an affiliate of CharterMac Capital. Independence SLP L.P. ("SLP"), an affiliate of CharterMac Capital, is the special limited partner. On November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired CharterMac Capital, which is the parent of RCC Manager LLC, 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. On November 8, 2005, CharterMac announced that Stuart J. Boesky would step down as Chief Executive Officer and trustee of CharterMac. Upon his stepping down, which was effective on November 15, 2005, he also resigned from his position as Member, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the General Partner. Mr. Boesky will stay on as a consultant to CharterMac for the next year in order to ensure a smooth transition. On March 14, 2006, CharterMac's Board of Trustees named Marc D. Schnitzer the Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Schnitzer replaced Stephen M. Ross, who had served as interim Chief Executive Officer since Stuart J. Boesky resigned in November of 2005. Mr. Schnitzer also replaced Mr. Boesky as Member, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the General Partner. The members and executive officers of the General Partner and their positions with regard to managing the Registrant are as follows: Name Position ----------------- -------------------------------- Alan P. Hirmes Member, President and Chief Executive and Financial Officer Marc Schnitzer Member, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Glenn F. Hopps Treasurer ALAN P. HIRMES, 51, has been a Certified Public Accountant in New York since 1978. Prior to joining CharterMac Capital in October 1983, Mr. Hirmes was employed by Wiener & Co., certified public accountants. Mr. Hirmes is also a Vice President of CharterMac Capital. Mr. Hirmes graduated from Hofstra University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Mr. Hirmes also serves on the Board of Trustees of CharterMac and American Mortgage Acceptance Company ("AMAC"). MARC D. SCHNITZER, 45, is responsible both for financial restructurings of real estate properties and directing CharterMac Capital's acquisitions of properties generating Housing Tax Credits. Mr. Schnitzer received a Masters of Business Administration from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in December 1987 before joining CharterMac Capital in January 1988. From 1983 to 35 January 1986, he was a financial analyst for the First Boston Corporation in New York. Mr. Schnitzer graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the School of Management at Boston University in May 1983. In March 2006, Mr. Schnitzer was appointed Chief Executive Officer and President of CharterMac Capital. Mr. Schnitzer also serves on the Board of Trustees of CharterMac Capital. GLENN F. HOPPS, 43, joined CharterMac Capital in December, 1990, and prior to that date was employed by Marks Shron & Company and Weissbarth, Altman and Michaelson, certified public accountants. Mr. Hopps graduated from New York State University at Albany with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. Item 11. Executive Compensation The Registrant does not pay or accrue any fees, salaries or any other form of compensation to directors and officers of the General Partner for its services. Certain executive officers and directors of the General Partner receive compensation from affiliates of the General Partner, not from the Registrant, for services performed for various affiliated entities, which may include services performed for the Registrant; however, the General Partner believes that any compensation attributable to services performed for the Registrant is immaterial. See Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, for information regarding compensation to the General Partner. Tabular information concerning salaries, bonuses and other types of compensation payable to executive officers has not been included in this annual report. As noted above, the Registrant has no executive officers. The levels of compensation payable to the General Partners and/or their affiliates is limited by the terms of the Partnership Agreement and may not be increased therefrom on a discretionary basis. Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Limited Partner Matters As of June 2, 2006, Mr. Hirmes owns directly or beneficially 6.8% of the economic interest in the General Partner. 100% of the voting securities are owned by RCC Manager LLC, which is wholly owned by CharterMac Capital. As of June 2, 2006, no director or executive officer of the General Partner owns directly or beneficially any of the BUC$ issued by the Registrant. As of June 2, 2006, no limited partner beneficially owns more than five percent (5%) of the BUC$ issued by the Registrant. Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions The Registrant has and will continue to have certain relationships with the General Partner and its affiliates. However, there have been no direct financial transactions between the Registrant and the directors or executive officers of the General Partner. Reference is made to Notes 1, 3, 6 and 7, to the consolidated financial statements in the Registrant's financial statements, which identify the related parties and discuss the services provided by these parties and the amounts paid or payable for their services. Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services Audit Fees ---------- The aggregate fees billed by Reznick Group, P.C. and its affiliates (collectively, "Reznick") for professional services rendered for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the reviews of the financial statements included in the Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for those years were $27,500 for both years. Audit Related Fees ------------------ None Tax Fees -------- The aggregate fees billed by Weiser LLP and its affiliates for professional services rendered for the preparation of the Registrant's annual tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $27,000 for both years. All Other Fees -------------- The aggregate fee billed by Reznick for consulting services for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $0 and $8,717, respectively. The Registrant is not required to have, and does not have, a stand alone audit committee. 36 PART IV Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules

MARCH 31, 2006 46 RCC Partners 96, L.L.C. TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE ---- REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 48 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BALANCE SHEET 49 NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET 50 47 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Members of RCC Partners 96, L.L.C. We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of RCC Partners 96, L.L.C. as of March 31, 2006. This balance sheet is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this balance sheet based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 balance sheet is free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we expressed no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RCC Partners 96, L.L.C. as of March 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Reznick Group, P.C.

NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET March 31, 2006 NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES RCC Partners 96, L.L.C. (the "Company") was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as of July 23, 1996, to act as the general partner of, and to acquire and hold a general partnership interest in Patriot Tax Credit Properties, L.P. ("Patriot"). On October 1, 1997, as part of a settlement of class litigation known as Prudential Securities Inc. Limited Partnership Litigation, MDL No. 1005, Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. ("PBP") withdrew as the general partner and transferred its General Partner interest in the Partnership to the Company, an affiliate of CharterMac Capital LLC, ("CharterMac Capital") (formerly known as Related Capital Company LLC) pursuant to a purchase agreement dated as of December 19, 1996 among PBP and its affiliates and CharterMac Capital. On November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired CharterMac Capital, which is the parent of RCC Manager LLC, the sole shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to the acquisition, CharterMac acquired controlling interests in the Company. This acquisition did not affect Patriot or its day-to-day operations, as the majority of the Company's management team remained unchanged. Affiliates of the Company and CharterMac Capital have had significant involvement with Patriot and the Local Partnerships, of which five are owned by CharterMac Capital affiliates. CharterMac Capital in the past provided, and will continue to provide ongoing monitoring services with respect to the Limited Partnership's investments pursuant to the Property Investment Monitoring Agreement. Investment in Limited Partnership --------------------------------- The Company accounts for its investment in Patriot using the equity method, whereby the Company adjusts the investment cost for its share of Patriot's results of operations and for any distributions received or accrued. The Company regularly assesses the carrying value of its investment in Patriot. If the carrying value is considered to exceed the estimated value derived by management (which contemplates remaining Low-income Tax Credits and potential residual value, among other things), the Company reduces its investment in Patriot. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 50 RCC Partners 96, L.L.C. NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET - CONTINUED March 31, 2006 NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Income Taxes ------------ The Company is not a taxpaying entity for income tax purposes and, accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The member's allocable shares of the Company's taxable income or loss are reportable on their income tax returns. NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Due to/from affiliates ---------------------- As of March 31, 2006, Patriot owes the Company $1,305,107 for partnership management fees pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement. The Company owes $1,305,107 to their affiliates as of March 31, 2006. NOTE C - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP On October 1, 1997, the Company was admitted as the general partner in Patriot Tax Credit Properties, L.P. which was formed to invest as a limited partner in other partnerships owning apartment complexes that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit or the rehabilitation tax credit. The investment in Limited Partnership is as follows: General Partner capital at March 31, 2006 $ 731,745 Less: Adjustment to estimated realizable value (731,745) ----------- Balance - March 31, 2006 $ 0 =========== 51 RCC Partners 96, L.L.C.
