PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which
was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 26, 1987. Since
November 25, 1997, the general partners of the Partnership have been Related
Credit Properties L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General
Partner") and Liberty Associates III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
("Liberty Associates"), and together with the Related General Partner (the
"General Partners"). The Related General Partner is also the special limited
partner of the Partnership. The general partner of the Related General Partner
is Related Credit Properties Inc., a Delaware corporation. The general partner
of Liberty Associates is the Related General Partner. On November 25, 1997,
affiliates of the Related General Partner and Liberty GP Inc. ("LGP"), then the
general partners of the Partnership, entered into a Purchase Agreement pursuant
to which the Related General Partner purchased LGP's general partner interest in
the Partnership (the "Transfer"). In addition to the Transfer, the Related
General Partner also acquired LGP's special limited partner interest in the
Partnership and its general partner interest in Liberty Associates. Prior to the
Transfer, Liberty Associates was an affiliate of Lehman Brothers.
On November 20, 1987, the Partnership commenced a public offering (the
"Offering") of Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs") representing
assignments of limited partnership interests in the Partnership ("Limited
Partnership Interests"), pursuant to a prospectus dated November 20, 1987, as
supplemented by the supplements thereto dated January 14, 1988 and March 14,
1988 (as so supplemented the, "Prospectus"). As of April 4, 1988 (the date on
which the Partnership held the final closing of the sale of BACs and on which
the Offering was terminated), the Partnership had received $79,937,500 of gross
proceeds of the Offering from 5,525 investors.
The Partnership was formed to invest, as a limited partner, in other limited
partnerships (referred to herein as "Local Partnerships", "subsidiaries" or
"subsidiary partnerships") which own leveraged low and moderate-income
multifamily residential complexes ("Apartment Complexes" or "Properties") that
are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit ("Tax Credit") enacted in the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, and to a lesser extent in Local Partnerships owning
Properties ("Rehabilitation Projects") that are eligible for the historic
rehabilitation tax credit (together with Housing Tax Credits, "Tax Credits").
The Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership represents a 20% to 98%
interest in each of the Local Partnerships. As of March 15, 1998, the
Partnership had acquired interests in 31 Local Partnerships and does not
anticipate making any additional investments. See Item 2, Properties, below.
Liberty Associates is the Special Limited Partner in all 31 Local Partnerships,
as well as a general partner of the Partnership. Liberty Associates has certain
rights and obligations in its role as Special Limited Partner, which permit this
affiliate of the Partnership to exercise control over the management and
policies of the Local Partnerships.
The investment objectives of the Partnership are to:
1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to substantial low-income Tax Credits (and
potentially rehabilitation tax credits) over the period of the Partnership's
entitlement to claim Tax Credits (for each Property, ten years from the date of
investment or, if later, the date the Property is placed in service.)
2
<PAGE>
2. Participate in any capital appreciation in the value of the Properties and
provide distributions of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds upon the disposition of
the Properties.
3. Preserve and protect the Partnership's capital.
4. Provide cash distributions when available from the operations of Apartment
Complexes and Rehabilitation Projects.
5. Allocate passive losses to individual BACs holders to offset passive income
that they may realize from rental real estate investments and other passive
activities, and allocate passive losses to corporate BACs holders to offset
active business income.
One of the Partnership's objectives is to entitle qualified BACs holders to Tax
Credits over the period of the Partnership's entitlement to claim Tax Credits
(for each Property, generally ten years from the date of investment or, if
later, the date the Property is leased to qualified tenants; referred to herein
as the "Tax Credit Period"). Each of the Local Partnerships in which the
Partnership has acquired an interest has been allocated by respective state
credit agencies the authority to recognize Tax Credits during the Tax Credit
Period provided that the Local Partnership satisfies the rent restriction,
minimum set-aside and other requirements for recognition of the Tax Credits at
all times during the 15-year period commencing at the beginning of the Credit
Period. Once a Local Partnership has become eligible to recognize Tax Credits or
historic rehabilitation tax credits, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an
event of "recapture" if its Property fails to remain in compliance with the Tax
Credit requirements. None of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has
acquired an interest has suffered an event of recapture.
As of March 15, 1998, the Partnership has not met its investment objective of
providing cash distributions from the operations of the Properties. Cash
distributions received from the Local Partnerships have been relatively
immaterial. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to
BACs holders in circumstances other than refinancings or sales. Accordingly, at
this time there can be no assurance that the Partnership will achieve each of
its investment objectives.
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can
also be affected by poor economic conditions generally. However no more than 20%
of the Properties are located in any single state. There are also substantial
risks associated with owning properties receiving government assistance, for
example the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to
make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to
partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owners' equity
contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its
investments in subsidiary partnerships during the period that the subsidy
agreements are in existence, without HUD's approval. Furthermore, there may not
be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance
contracts expire.
Competition
The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all of the
Properties acquired by the Partnership are subject to active competition from
similar properties in their respective vicinities. In addition, various other
limited partnerships may, in the future, be formed by the General Partners
and/or their affiliates to engage in businesses which may be competitive with
the Partnership.
3
<PAGE>
Employees
The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are performed
for the Partnership by its General Partners and their affiliates. The General
Partners receive compensation in connection with such activities as set forth in
Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the General Partners
and certain of their affiliates for expenses incurred in connection with the
performance by their employees of services for the Partnership in accordance
with the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership Agreement").
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership has acquired an interest as a limited partner in 31 Local
Partnerships. Set forth below is a schedule of these Local Partnerships
including certain information concerning the properties (the "Local Partnership
Schedule"). Further information concerning those Local Partnerships and their
Properties, including any encumbrances affecting the Properties, may be found in
Item 14, Schedule III.
Except for the seven Local Partnerships listed below, the following is the
allocation of ownership percentage for each of the Local Partnerships:
General Partner 1%
Special Limited Partner 1%

The general partners of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership invests
("Local General Partners") were generally required, pursuant to a Development
Deficit Guaranty Agreement, to fund deficits incurred during the development
stage of the Local Partnerships and/or to undertake to repurchase the
Partnership's interest in the Local Partnership if construction was not
completed substantially on time and on budget. A development deficit is incurred
when costs to rehabilitate, finance and pay all other operating expenses of a
Local Partnership exceed the proceeds of the mortgage note, capital contribution
and rental receipts prior to completion of the development of the Local
Partnership. Development deficit payments were made without right of repayment.
6
<PAGE>
The General Partners generally required that the Local General Partners
undertake an obligation, pursuant to an Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreement, to
fund operating deficits (up to a stated maximum amount) of the Local Partnership
during a limited period of time (generally three years) following the
Partnership's investment. In each case, the operating deficits were funded by
Operating Loans which bore interest and which could be repaid only out of 50% of
available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds.
Additionally, the Local General Partners were generally required to enter into a
Rent-Up Guaranty Agreement, whereby the Local General Partner agreed to pay
liquidated damages if predetermined occupancy rates were not achieved. These
payments were to be made without right of repayment. In most instances, if
rental achievement was not met by a specified date, the Local General Partner
was also required to pay to the Local Partnership, a return of capital, and
interest thereon, as stated in the Local Partnership's partnership agreement.
Security for these agreements was generally provided in the form of letters of
credit and/or escrow deposits provided by the Local General Partner.
All development deficit, rent-up and operating deficit guarantees with respect
to the Properties have expired.
Tax Credits with respect to a given Property are available for a ten-year Tax
Credit Period that commences when the property is leased to qualified tenants.
However, the annual Tax Credits available in the year in which the Apartment
Complex is placed in service must be prorated based upon the months remaining in
the year. The amount of the annual Tax Credits not available in the first year
will be available in the eleventh year. In certain cases, the Partnership
acquired its interest in a Local Partnership after the Local Partnership had
placed its Apartment Complex in service. In these cases, the Partnership may be
allocated Tax Credits only beginning in the month following the month in which
it acquired its interest and Tax Credits allocated in any prior period would not
be available to the Partnership.
All leases are generally for periods not greater than one to two years and no
tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
Commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies) comprise
less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Local Partnership. Rents for the
residential units are determined annually by HUD and reflect increases in
consumer price indices in various geographic areas.
Management continuously reviews the physical state of the Properties and budgets
improvements when required, which are generally funded from cash flow from
operations or release of replacement reserve escrows.
Management continuously reviews the insurance coverage of the Properties and
believes such coverage is adequate.
See Item 1. Business, above for the general competitive conditions to which the
Properties described above are subject.
Real estate taxes are calculated using rates and assessed valuations determined
by the township or city in which the property is located. Such taxes have
approximated 1% of the aggregate cost of the properties as shown in Schedule III
to the financial statements included herein.

This information is incorporated by reference to the discussions of Regent
Street and Robin Housing in the Results of Operations of Certain Local
Partnerships contained in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters.
The Partnership has issued 15,987.5 Limited Partnership Interests, each
representing a $5,000 capital contribution to the Partnership, for aggregate
Gross Proceeds of $79,937,500. All of the issued and outstanding Limited
Partnership Interests have been issued to Liberty Credit Assignor Inc. (the
"Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued BACs to the purchasers
thereof for an aggregate purchase price of $79,937,500. Each BAC represents all
of the economic and virtually all of the ownership rights attributable to a
Limited Partnership Interest held by the Assignor Limited Partner. BACs may be
converted into Limited Partnership Interests at no cost to the holder (other
than the payment of transfer costs not to exceed $100), but Limited Partnership
Interests so acquired are not thereafter convertible into BACs.
Neither the BACs nor the Limited Partnership Interests are traded on any
established public trading market. Because of the provisions of the Revenue Act
of 1987, unless there are further changes in such law, the Partnership does not
intend to include the BACs for quotation on NASDAQ or for listing on any
national or regional stock exchange or any other established securities market.
The Revenue Act of 1987 contained provisions which have an adverse impact on
investors in "publicly traded partnerships." Accordingly, the General Partners
have imposed limited restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the
Limited Partnership Interests in secondary market transactions. The restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing and may adversely affect
the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment quickly. It is
expected that such procedures will remain in effect until such time, if ever, as
further revision of the Revenue Act of 1987 may permit the Partnership to lessen
the scope of the restrictions.
The Partnership has 5,525 registered holders of an aggregate of 15,987.5 BACs,
as of June 1, 1998.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the two General Partners.
Certain Local Partnerships are subject to HUD restrictions which limit annual
cash distributions to partners and restrict the Local Partnerships from selling
or otherwise liquidating their assets, without HUD's approval, during the period
that the agreement with HUD is in existence.
There are no material legal restrictions in the Partnership Agreement on the
ability to make distributions.
8
<PAGE>
The Partnership has made no distributions to the BAC holders as of March 15,
1998. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to its
Limited Partners in circumstances other than refinancing or sales proceeds.
There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the list of BAC
holders of limited partners such as BAC holders of the Partnership. Often these
requests are made by a person who, only a short time before making the request,
acquired merely a small number of BACs in the Partnership and seeks the list for
an improper purpose, a purpose that is not in the best interest of the
Partnership or is harmful to the Partnership. In order to best serve and protect
the interests of the Partnership and all of its investors, the General Partners
of the Partnership have adopted a policy with respect to requests for the
Partnership's list of BAC holders. This policy is intended to protect investors
from unsolicited and coercive offers to acquire BAC holders' interests and does
not limit any other rights the General Partners may have under the Partnership
Agreement or applicable law.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary sources of funds are the cash distributions from
operations of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested.
However, the cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships to date
have not been sufficient to meet all such obligations of the Partnership. During
the years ended March 15, 1998, 1997 and 1996, such distributions amounted to
approximately $132,000, $208,000 and $140,000, respectively. Accordingly, the
Related General Partner and its affiliates have advanced funds totaling
approximately $119,000, $118,000 and $59,000 at March 15, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, to meet the Partnership's third party obligations. In addition,
certain fees and expense reimbursements owed to the General Partners amounting
to approximately $3,553,000, $2,281,000 and $1,022,000 were accrued and unpaid
as of March 15, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In particular partnership
management fees owed to the General Partners amounting to approximately
$3,126,000 and $1,988,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 15, 1998 and March
15, 1997, respectively. Furthermore expense reimbursements and asset monitoring
fees owed to the Related General Partner amounting to approximately $404,000 and
$293,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 15, 1998 and March 15, 1997,
respectively. Without the General Partners' advances and continued accrual
without payment of certain fees and expense reimbursements, the Partnership will
not be in a position to meet its obligations. The General Partners have
continued advancing and allowing the accrual without payment of these amounts
but are under no obligation to continue to do so. The Partnership will use a
portion of the refinancing proceeds received from the Bayridge Associates, L.P.
mortgage refinancing (see below) to pay down some of the outstanding amounts
owed to the General Partners. The General Partners believe these proceeds will
be adequate for its current operating needs and plan to invest the reserves in
short-term investments.
During the year ended March 31, 1998, cash and cash equivalents of the
Partnership decreased approximately $66,000. This decrease is attributable to an
increase in property and equipment ($1,209,000), an increase in cash held in
escrow for investing activities ($779,000), repayments of mortgage notes
($1,868,000) and a decrease in capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest ($343,000) which exceeded cash provided by
operating activities ($3,407,000), a net increase in due to local general
partners and affiliates ($718,000) and an increase in due to selling partners
($7,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash provided
by operating activities is depreciation and amortization of approximately
($9,113,000).
A working capital reserve of approximately $32,000 and $83,000 remained unused
at March 15, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In April 1998, Bayridge Associates, L.P. ("Bayridge") refinanced its mortgage
note payable of approximately $6,150,000. The new mortgage note in the amount of
$10,600,000 paid off the former mortgage note and paid a cash flow distribution
from refinancing proceeds of ap-proximately $1,800,000 to the Partnership. This
new mortgage bears interest at the rate of 6.96% per annum and is payable in
monthly installments of $70,238 which includes principal and interest. Any
remaining principal and interest shall be due and payable May 1, 2000 or on any
earlier date on which the unpaid principal balance of the note be come due and
payable, by acceleration of otherwise.
The Partnership is not expected to have access to additional sources of
financing.

The Partnership previously negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements with
all Local Partnerships in which the Local General Partners agreed to fund
operating deficits, up to a stated maximum amount, for a specified period of
time (generally, three years commencing at break-even). The terms of the
Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements varied for each Local Partnership. The
gross amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregate approximately
$16,880,000, of which $16,880,000, $16,430,000 and $16,430,000 had expired as of
March 15, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. As of March 15, 1998, all operating
deficit guarantees have expired.
HUD recently released the American Community Partnerships Act (the "ACPA"). The
ACPA is HUD's blueprint for providing for the nation's housing needs in an era
of static or decreasing budget authority. Two key proposals in the ACPA that
could affect the Local Partnerships: a discontinuation of project based Section
8 subsidy payments and an attendant reduction in debt on properties that were
supported by the Section 8 payments.
The ACPA calls for a transition during which the project based Section 8 would
be converted to a tenant-based voucher system. Any FHA insured debt would then
be "marked-to-market", that is, revalued in light of the reduced income stream,
if any.
Several industry sources have already commented to HUD and Congress that in the
event the ACPA were fully enacted in its present form, the reduction in mortgage
indebtedness would be considered taxable income to limited partners in the
Partnership. Legislative relief has been proposed to exempt "marked-to-market"
debt from cancellation of indebtedness income treatment. Though HUD initially
backed away from the "marked-to-market" proposal, it has now been reintroduced
as "Portfolio Restructuring".
In September 1997, Congress enacted the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and
Affordability Act of 1997 ("MAHRAA") which provides for the renewal of Section 8
Housing Assistance Payments Contracts ("Section 8 Contracts") to be based upon
market rentals instead of the above-market rentals which is generally the case
under existing Section 8 Contracts. As a result, Section 8 Contracts that are
renewed in the future in projects insured by the Federal Housing Administration
("FHA") may not provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties to
meet the debt service requirements of these existing FHA-insured mortgages.
MAHRAA also provides for the restructuring of these mortgage loans so that the
annual debt service on the restructured loan (or loans) can be supported by
Section 8 rents established at the market rents. The restructured loans will be
held by the current lender or another lender. There can be no assurance that a
property owner will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness
pursuant to the new rules implementing MAHRAA or that an owner would choose to
restructure the mortgage if it were able to participate. MAHRAA is supposed to
go into effect on October 28, 1998; regulations implementing the program must be
issued prior to that time. It should be noted that there are many uncertainties
as to the economic and tax impact on a property owner because of the combination
of the reduced Section 8 contract rents and the restructuring of the existing
FHA-insured mortgage loan under MAHRAA.
For a discussion of contingencies affecting certain Local Partnerships, see
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships below. Since the maximum
loss the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in the respective
Local Partnerships, the resolution of the existing contingencies is not
anticipated to impact future results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition in a material way. However, the Partnership's loss of its investment
in a Local Partnership will eliminate the ability to generate future Tax Credits
from such Local Partnership and may also result in recapture of Tax Credits if
the investment is lost before expiration of the Credit Period.

Except as described above, 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 Partnership has fully invested the
proceeds of its Offering in 31 Local Partnerships, all of which fully have their
Tax Credits in place (see, Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
below with respect to Regent Street Associates, L.P.). The Tax Credits are
attached to the property for a period of ten years and are transferable with the
property during the remainder of such ten year period. If the General Partners
determined that a sale of a property is warranted, the remaining Tax Credits
would transfer to the new owner, thereby adding significant value to the
property on the market, which are not included in the financial statement
carrying amount.
Results of Operations
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
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. 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.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are
adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. These
assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated.
Through March 15, 1998, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment
of assets or reduction to estimated fair value.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 15, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively).
The Partnership's revenues continue to consist primarily of the results of the
Partnership's investment in consolidated Local Partnerships. Twenty one of the
Local Partnerships receive HUD Section 8 subsidies which serve to stabilize the
revenues of these Local Partnerships. The majority of the Local Partnership
income continues to be in the form of rental income with the corresponding
expenses being divided among operations, depreciation, and mortgage interest.
The net loss for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years totaled $7,175,085,
$7,618,131 and $6,457,394, respectively.
13
<PAGE>
The Partnership continues to meet the investment objective of generating Housing
Tax Credits to qualified BACs holders. To date all of the Local Partnerships
have remained in compliance with the Tax Credit requirements, and therefore none
has suffered an event of recapture of Tax Credits. The Partnership generated
$11,058,148, $11,001,671 and $11,327,236 in Tax Credits during the 1997, 1996
and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
1997 vs. 1996
Rental income increased approximately 1% for the 1997 Fiscal Year as compared to
the corresponding period in 1996 primarily due to annual rental rate increases.
Other income decreased approximately $355,000 for the 1997 Fiscal Year as
compared to the corresponding period in 1996 primarily due to a refund of
overpaid property taxes at Bayridge Associates in the 1996 Fiscal Year and a HUD
reimbursement for vacancy losses at Shiloh Grove in the 1996 Fiscal Year.
Total expenses remained fairly consistent for the 1997 Fiscal Year as compared
to the corresponding period in 1996 with a decrease of approximately 1%.
1996 vs. 1995
Rental income decreased less than 1% for the 1996 Fiscal Year as compared to the
corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to a retroactive rent increase during
the third quarter of 1995 at B & C Housing Associates and a decrease in rental
assistance payments at Shiloh-Grove. Excluding these two Local Partnerships,
rental income increased approximately 1% for the 1996 Fiscal Year as compared to
the corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to annual rental rate increases.
Total expenses excluding general and administrative-related parties remained
fairly consistent for the 1996 Fiscal Year as compared to the corresponding
period in 1995 with an increase of less than 1%.
General and administrative-related parties increased approximately $903,000 for
the 1996 Fiscal Year as compared to the corresponding period in 1995 primarily
due to an increase in partnership management fees.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
Regent Street Associates, L.P.
During 1997, Regent Street Associates, L.P. ("Regent Street") and the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") settled the IRS's challenge to the method by which
Regent Street has allocated the below-market federal financing to its
properties. The IRS had contended that Regent Street is entitled to only a 4%
Low Income Housing Tax Credit rather than a 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit.
The IRS also challenged the inclusion of a portion of the developer's fee and
legal costs in qualified expenditures for the purpose of determining Low Income
Housing and Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits and depreciable basis. As part
of the settlement agreement, Regent Street agreed to reflect cumulative
adjustments with respect to the 1988 through 1996 taxable years in the 1997 tax
return and to adjust the related depreciation and tax credits for 1997 to
conform to the settlement. Under the settlement, in its 1997 taxable year Regent
Street will recapture low income housing credits of $1,097,719, recapture
rehabilitation credits of $254,244 and recapture depreciation expense of
approximately $192,198. The settlement will result in there being no liability
for interest with respect to the years involved.

Redwood Villa Associates, L.P.
Redwood Villa Associates ("Redwood") has sustained operating losses since its
inception. For the 1997 Fiscal Year, Redwood experienced a loss of $228,599,
including $219,179 of depreciation and $4,533 of amortization and at December
31, 1997 had a working capital deficiency of $530,925 and a partners' deficit of
$484,684. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Redwood's ability to
continue as a going concern. Redwood's continuation as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations or obtain future
capital contributions from the partners. Management, whenever possible, plans to
reduce operating costs to achieve profitable operations. The financial
statements for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years for Redwood have been
prepared assuming that Redwood will continue as a going concern. The
Partnership's investment in Redwood at March 15, 1998 and 1997 was reduced to
zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately
$408,000 and $410,000, respectively. Redwood's net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $226,000, $203,000 and $238,000 for the 1997, 1996 and
1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Quality Hill Historic District - Phase II - A, L.P.
One of the loans providing permanent financing for Quality Hill Historic
District - Phase II A, L.P. ("Quality Hill") is being provided by the Land
Clearance for Redevelopment Authority of Kansas City ("LCRA") in the amount of
$960,000. This noninterest bearing note is secured by a fourth deed of trust on
the rental property and is due in full on June 26, 2021. One-fourteenth of the
unpaid principal balance is to be forgiven annually on the anniversary date of
the note so long as the property is used only as rental property for qualified
low-income families and individuals. In both 1997 and 1996, $68,571 is recorded
as cancellation of indebtedness income and is included in other income.
Walnut Park Plaza Associates
Walnut Park Plaza Associates ("Walnut Park") has sustained recurring losses from
operations. At December 31, 1997, Walnut Park had not made certain payments
required under the terms of the Bond Indenture and, as a result, is in default.
On April 9, 1996, Walnut Park entered into an interim agreement with E.A.Moos
("Moos"), Walnut Park's bondholders, which expired October 15, 1996 subject to
certain defined extension and termination provisions. Moo's and Walnut Park
continued to operate under the terms of the interim agreement until the bonds
were sold on October 31, 1997 to Municipal Capital Appreciation Partners, ILP
("MCAPI"), at which time the interim agreement expired. The interim agreement
primarily allowed Moos to select an interim and permanent replacement property
manager, to formulate a proposal to replace the general partner, and to possibly
restructure the indebtedness of the project. On April 29, 1997, an agreement was
signed which provides for, among other things, the transfer of the general
partner interest to RCC Partners '96 LLC ("RCC"), an affiliate of the General
Partners. Upon transfer of the general partner interest to RCC, amounts due to
the former general partner and its affiliates totaling $693,340 were forgiven
resulting in a contribution to the subsidiary partners' capital. Through the
rights of the Partnership and/or a General Partner, which General Partner has a
contractual obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership to approve certain
major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership continues to have a
controlling financial interest in Walnut Park. Walnut Park's continued existence
is dependent on improving the financial operations of Walnut Park, the ultimate
resolution of the default of certain obligations under the terms of the Bond
Indenture, or the refinancing of the Bond Indenture. Contingent upon the outcome
of the aforementioned items, Walnut Park may be unable to continue as a going
concern in its present form. The Partnership's investment in Walnut Park at
March 15, 1998 and March 15, 1997 was reduced to zero by prior years' losses and
the minority interest balance amounted to approximately $1,125,000 and $437,000,
respectively. Walnut Park's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $511,000, $541,000 and $257,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively.

Robin Housing Associates
Robin Housing Associates ("Robin Housing") is a defendant in a personal injury
lawsuit. Robin Housing's insurance carrier intends to defend Robin Housing
vigorously. Management believes that the insurance coverage is adequate to cover
any liability arising from this action. Since it is too premature to make an
evaluation of the amount or range of Robin Housing's potential loss, it is
management's opinion that no accrual for potential losses is currently warranted
in the financial statements. The maximum loss which the Partnership would be
liable for is its net investment in Robin Housing amounting to approximately
$577,000. The Partnership's investment in Robin Housing was approximately
$577,000 and $711,000 at March 15, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and the minority
interest balance was approximately $68,000 and $174,000, respectively. Robin
Housing's net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $91,000,
$115,000 and $140,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
The financial statements for Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
("Willoughby") have been prepared on the basis that it will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. There are certain
conditions that raise substantial doubt about Willoughby's ability to continue
as a going concern. Willoughby has had operating losses, operating cash flow
deficiencies, and equity deficiencies. Management plans to continue to minimize
costs within their control and seek additional funding sources to supplement
project operations. Continuance of Willoughby as a going concern is dependent
upon Willoughby's ability to obtain additional funding to supplement project
operations and enable Willoughby to meet its obligations as they become due. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties. The Partnership's investment in Willoughby at
March 15, 1998 and 1997 was reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the
minority interest balance was approximately $276,000 and $277,000, respectively.
Willoughby's net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately
$141,000, $276,000 and $309,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years.
Year 2000 Compliance
As the year 2000 approaches, an issue has emerged regarding how existing
application software programs and operating systems can accommodate this date
value. Failure to adequately address this issue could have potentially serious
repercussions. The General Partners are in the process of working with the
Partnership's service providers to prepare for the year 2000. Based on
information currently available, the Partnership does not expect that it will
incur significant operating expenses or be required to incur material costs to
be year 2000 compliant.
Other
There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the list of limited
partners such as BAC holders of the Partnership. Often these requests are made
by a person who, only a short time before making the request, acquired merely a
small number of BACs in the Partnership and seeks the list for an improper
purpose, a purpose that is not in the best interest of the Partnership or is
harmful to the Partnership. In order to best serve and protect the interests of
the Partnership and all of its investors, the General Partners of the
Partnership have adopted a policy with respect to requests for the Partnership's
list of BAC holders. This policy is intended to protect investors from
unsolicited and coercive offers to acquire BAC holders' interests and does not
limit any other rights the General Partners may have under the Partnership
Agreement or applicable law.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership) and Subsidiaries as of March 15, 1998 and 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners'
capital, and cash flows for the years ended March 15, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (the
1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively). These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not
audit the financial statements for 30 (Fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995) subsidiary
partnerships whose losses aggregated $7,098,332 (Fiscal 1997), $5,837,225
(Fiscal 1996), and $5,342,970 (Fiscal 1995) and whose assets constituted 95% and
93% of the Partnership's assets at March 15, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The financial
statements for these subsidiary partnerships were audited by other auditors
whose reports thereon have been furnished to us and our opinion expressed
herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these subsidiary
partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based upon our audits, and the reports of the other auditors
referred to above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred
to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. and Subsidiaries at March 15,
1998 and 1997 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years
ended March 15, 1998, 1997 and 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of three subsidiary partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties regarding their continuing operations. During
the 1997 Fiscal Year, these subsidiary partnerships incurred significant
operating losses and one is in default on its mortgage obligation. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the subsidiary partnerships' abilities
to continue as going concerns. The financial statements of these three
subsidiary partnerships were prepared assuming that each will continue as a
going concern. The three subsidiary partnerships' losses aggregated $887,146
(Fiscal 1997), $1,027,546 (Fiscal 1996) and $812,198 (Fiscal 1995) and their
assets aggregated $16,967,227 and $17,647,112 at March 15, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Management's plans regarding these matters are also discussed in
Note 10(a). The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Greenleaf Associates, L.P.
Marlton, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Greenleaf Associates,
L.P. (A Missouri Limited Partnership), HUD Project #084-94009, as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of profit and loss, partners'
(deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General
of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Greenleaf Associates, L.P.
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental data included in the
report (shown on pages 15 through 20) are presented for the purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Greenleaf Associates, L.P. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 3 to the financial statements, Greenleaf Associates, L.P. has defaulted on
its mortgage loan payable which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are
also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued the
following reports dated January 24, 1996 concerning Greenleaf Associates, L.P.
(1) on the internal control structure, (2) on compliance with specific
requirements applicable to major HUD programs, (3) on compliance with specific
requirements applicable to affirmative fair housing, and (4) on compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.

uncertainty about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards

standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Partnership has sustained operating losses since
inception. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership experienced a
loss of $228,599 (including $219,179 of depreciation and $4,553 of amortization
expense) and as of that date, had a working capital deficiency of $530,925 and a
partners' deficit of

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of
the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Redwood Villa Associates (A
Limited Partnership) at December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted

Redwood Villa Associates
(A Limited Partnership)
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the
financial statements, the partnership has sustained operating losses since
inception. For the year ended December 31, 1995 the partnership experienced a
loss of $244,725 including $227,084 of depreciation and $4,553 of amortization
and as of that date, had a working capital deficiency of $395,250 and partners'
deficit of $25,537. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are
described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a
report dated February 22, 1996 on our consideration of Redwood Villa Associates'
internal control structure and a report dated February 22, 1996 on its
compliance with laws and regulations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 15, 1998
NOTE 1 - General
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on June 26, 1987, but had no activity until
October 1, 1987 (which date is considered to be inception for financial
accounting purposes). The Partnership had no operations until commencement of
the public offering on November 20, 1987.
The Partnership's business is to invest as a limited partner in other limited
partnerships ("Local Partnerships" or "subsidiaries" or "subsidiary
partnerships") owning leveraged apartment complexes that are eligible for the
low-income housing tax credit ("Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of
1986, and to a lesser extent in Local Partnerships owning properties that are
eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit. As of March 15, 1998, the
Partnership has invested in 31 subsidiary partnerships and does not anticipate
making any additional investments.
Since November 25, 1997, the general partners of the Partnership have been
Related Credit Properties L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Related
General Partner") and Liberty Associates III L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Liberty Associates"), and together with the Related General
Partner (the "General Partners"). The Related General Partner is also the
special limited partner of the Partnership. The general partner of the Related
General Partner is Related Credit Properties Inc., a Delaware corporation. The
general partner of Liberty Associates is the Related General Partner. On
November 25, 1997, affiliates of the Related General Partner and Liberty GP Inc.
("LGP"), then the general partners of the Partnership, entered into a Purchase
Agreement pursuant to which the Related General Partner purchased LGP's general
partner interest in the Partnership (the "Transfer"). In addition to the
Transfer, the Related General Partner also acquired LGP's special limited
partner interest in the Partnership and its general partner interest in Liberty
Associates. Prior to the Transfer, Liberty Associates was an affiliate of Lehman
Brothers.
The terms of the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") provide, among other things, that net
profits or losses and distributions of cash flow are, in general, allocated 99%
to the limited partners and BACs holders and 1% to the General Partners.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and 31 subsidiary partnerships in which the Partnership is a limited partner.
Through the rights of the Partnership and/or a General Partner, which General
Partner has a contractual obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership, to
remove the general partner of the subsidiary partnerships and to approve certain
major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has a controlling
financial interest in the subsidiary partnerships. All intercompany accounts and
transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have been eliminated in
consolidation.
For financial reporting purposes the Partnership's fiscal year ends on March 15.
The Partnership's fiscal year ends on March 15, in order to allow adequate time
for the subsidiaries finan-

LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 15, 1998
cial statements to be prepared and consolidated. The books and records of the
Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). All subsidiaries have
calendar year ends. Accounts of the subsidiary partnerships have been adjusted
for intercompany transactions from January 1 through March 15.
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiary
partnerships attributable to minority interest arise from cash contributions
from and cash distributions to the minority interest partners.
The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary partnership is equal to the
respective subsidiary partnership's partners' equity less minority interest
capital, if any. Losses attributable to minority interests which exceed the
minority interests' investment in subsidiary partnerships have been charged to
the Partnership. Such losses aggregated approximately $147,000, $157,000 and
$175,000 for the years ended March 15, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In
consolidation, all subsidiary partnership losses are included in the
Partnership's capital account except for losses allocated to minority interest
capital.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments
in short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of
three months or less.
c) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
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. 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.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are
adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. These
assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated.
Through March 15, 1998, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment
of assets or reduction to estimated fair value.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 15, 1998
d) Organization and Offering Costs
Costs incurred to organize the Partnership including but not limited to legal,
accounting, and registration fees are considered deferred organization expenses.
These costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over a 60-month
period. Costs incurred to sell BACs, including brokerage and the nonaccountable
expense allowance, are considered selling and offering expenses. These costs are
charged directly to limited partners' capital (Note 8).
e) Income Taxes
The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any federal income
taxes. Net income or loss generated by the Partnership is passed through to the
partners and is required to be reported by them. The Partnership may be subject
to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax
purposes, the Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31 (Note 9).
f) Loss Contingencies
The Partnership records loss contingencies as a charge to income when
information becomes available which indicates that it is probable that an asset
has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the
financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly actual results
could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments (all of which are held for non-trading
purposes) for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Held in Escrow
The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Mortgage Notes Payable
The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated, where practicable, based
on the borrowing rate currently available for similar loans.
The estimated fair values of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable are as
follows:

Not Practicable $93,350,179 (a) $94,111,196 (a)

(a) Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of the
mortgage notes payable because mortgage programs with similar characteristics
are not currently available to the partnerships.
The carrying amount of other financial instruments that require such disclosure
approximates fair value.

a) Subsidiary Partnership - Going Concern
Three subsidiary partnerships, Redwood Villa Associates, Willoughby-Wyckoff

contingencies and uncertainties regarding their continuing operations which
raise substantial doubt about their abilities to continue as going concerns. The
financial statements of these three subsidiary partnerships were prepared
assuming that each will continue as a going concern.

MARCH 15, 1998
Redwood Villa Associates, L.P.
Redwood Villa Associates ("Redwood") has sustained operating losses since its
inception. For the 1997 Fiscal Year, Redwood experienced a loss of $228,599,
including $219,179 of depreciation and $4,533 of amortization and at December
31, 1997 had a working capital deficiency of $530,925 and a partners' deficit of
$484,684. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Redwood's ability to
continue as a going concern. Redwood's continuation as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations or obtain future
capital contributions from the partners. Management, whenever possible, plans to
reduce operating costs to achieve profitable operations. The financial
statements for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years for Redwood have been
prepared assuming that Redwood will continue as a going concern. The
Partnership's investment in Redwood at March 15, 1998 and 1997 was reduced to
zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately
$408,000 and $410,000, respectively. Redwood's net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $226,000, $203,000 and $238,000 for the 1997, 1996 and
1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
The financial statements of Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates ("Willoughby")
have been prepared on the basis that it will continue as a going concern, which
contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business. There are certain conditions
that raise substantial doubt about Willoughby's ability to continue as a going
concern. Willoughby has had operating losses, operating cash flow deficiencies,
and equity deficiencies. Management plans to continue to minimize costs within
their control and seek additional funding sources to supplement project
operations. Continuance of Willoughby as a going concern is dependent upon
Willoughby's ability to obtain additional funding to supplement project
operations and enable Willoughby to meet its obligations as they become due. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties. The Partnership's investment in Willoughby at
March 15, 1998 and 1997 was reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the
minority interest balance was approximately $276,000 and $277,000, respectively.
Willoughby's net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately
$141,000, $276,000 and $309,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years.
Walnut Park Plaza Associates
Walnut Park Plaza Associates ("Walnut Park") has sustained recurring losses from
operations. At December 31, 1997, Walnut Park had not made certain payments
required under the terms of the Bond Indenture and, as a result, is in default.
On April 9, 1996, Walnut Park entered into an interim agreement with E.A.Moos
("Moos"), Walnut Park's bondholders, which expired October 15, 1996 subject to
certain defined extension and termination provisions. Moo's and Walnut Park
continued to operate under the terms of the interim agreement until the bonds
were sold on October 31, 1997 to Municipal Capital Appreciation Partners, ILP
("MCAPI"), at which time the interim agreement expired. The interim agreement
primarily allowed Moos to select an interim and permanent replacement property
manager, to formulate a proposal to replace the general partner, and to possibly
restructure the indebtedness of the project. On April 29, 1997, an agreement was
signed which provides for, among other things, the transfer of the general
partner interest to RCC Partners '96 LLC ("RCC"), an affiliate of the General
Partners. Upon transfer of the general partner interest to RCC, amounts due to
the former general partner and its affiliates totaling $693,340 were forgiven
and recorded as a contribution to the subsidiary partners' capital. Through the
rights of the Partnership and/or a General

MARCH 15, 1998
Partner, which General Partner has a contractual obligation to act on behalf of
the Partnership to approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the
Partnership continues to have a controlling financial interest in Walnut Park.
Walnut Park's continued existence is dependent on improving the financial
operations of Walnut Park, the ultimate resolution of the default of certain
obligations under the terms of the Bond Indenture, or the refinancing of the
Bond Indenture. Contingent upon the outcome of the aforementioned items, Walnut
Park may be unable to continue as a going concern in its present form. The
Partnership's investment in Walnut Park at March 15, 1998 and March 15, 1997 was
reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance
amounted to approximately $1,125,000 and $437,000, respectively. Walnut Park's
net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $511,000, $541,000
and $257,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
b) Subsidiary Partnerships - Other
Regent Street Associates, L.P.
During 1997, Regent Street Associates, L.P. ("Regent Street") and the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") settled the IRS's challenge to the method by which
Regent Street has allocated the below-market federal financing to its
properties. The IRS had contended that Regent Street is entitled to only a 4%
Low Income Housing Tax Credit rather than a 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit.
The IRS also challenged the inclusion of a portion of the developer's fee and
legal costs in qualified expenditures for the purpose of determining Low Income
Housing and Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits and depreciable basis. As part
of the settlement agreement, Regent Street agreed to reflect cumulative
adjustments with respect to the 1988 through 1996 taxable years in the 1997 tax
return and to adjust the related depreciation and tax credits for 1997 to
conform to the settlement. Under the settlement, in its 1997 taxable year Regent
Street will recapture low income housing credits of $1,097,719, recapture
rehabilitation credits of $254,244 and recapture depreciation expense of
approximately $192,198. The settlement will result in there being no liability
for interest with respect to the years involved.
Robin Housing Associates
Robin Housing Associates ("Robin Housing") is a defendant in a personal injury
lawsuit. Robin Housing's insurance carrier intends to defend Robin Housing
vigorously. Management believes that the insurance coverage is adequate to cover
any liability arising from this action. Since it is too premature to make an
evaluation of the amount or range of Robin Housing's potential loss, it is
management's opinion that no accrual for potential losses is currently warranted
in the financial statements. The maximum loss which the Partnership would be
liable for is its net investment in Robin Housing amounting to approximately
$577,000. The Partnership's investment in Robin Housing was approximately
$577,000 and $711,000 at March 15, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and the minority
interest balance was approximately $68,000 and $174,000, respectively. Robin
Housing's net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $91,000,
$115,000 and $140,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
c) Lease Commitment
One of the subsidiary partnerships entered into a forty-year ground lease for
the land on which the building is built. As stipulated in the lease, the
subsidiary partnership agrees to pay all real estate taxes, license and permit
fees, among other charges that may be assessed upon the land or improvements. At
December 31, 1997, the subsidiary partnership was committed
34

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 15, 1998
to minimum future rentals on the noncancellable lease in the amount of $60,000 a
year through 2028. The lease payments are payable from available cash and at
December 31, 1997, the subsidiary partnership has accrued lease payments of
$274,674.
d) Uninsured Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various banks.
Accounts at each bank are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. As of March 15, 1998, uninsured cash and cash
equivalents approximated $735,000.
e) Letter of Credit
The subsidiary partnerships were contingently liable at December 31, 1997 on the
following open letters of credit:
Debt service $600,000
Development contingency 23,310
--------
$623,310
========
f) Other
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can
also be affected by poor economic conditions generally, however no more than 20%
of the properties are located in any single state. There are also substantial
risks associated with owning properties receiving government assistance, for
example the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to
make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to
partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owners' equity
contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its
investments in subsidiary partnerships during the period that the subsidy
agreements are in existence, without HUD's approval. Furthermore, there may not
be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance
contracts expire.
g) Tax Credits
The Partnership and BAC holders began recognizing Tax Credits with respect to
the Properties when the Credit Period for such Property commenced. Because of
the time required for the acquisition, completion and rent-up of Properties, the
amount of Tax Credits per BAC gradually increases over the first three years of
the Partnership. Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years will be
recognized in the 11th through 13th years. For the 1997, 1996 and 1995 tax
years, Tax Credits of $11,058,148, $11,001,671 and $11,327,236 were generated.
A portion of the Tax Credits could be subject to recapture in future years if
(i) a Local Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements, (ii) there is
a decrease in the qualified basis of the Projects, or (iii) there is a greater
than one-third reduction in the taxpayer's interest in the Project at any time
during the 15-year Compliance Period that began with the first tax year of the
Credit Period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. and Subsidiaries included in the Form 10-K as
presented in our opinion dated May 15, 1998 on page 18 and based on the reports
of other auditors, we have also audited supporting Schedule I for the 1997, 1996
and 1995 Fiscal Years and Schedule III at March 15, 1998. In our opinion, and
based on the reports of the other auditors (certain of which were modified due
to the uncertainty of these subsidiary partnerships' abilities to continue in
existence), these consolidated schedules present fairly, when read in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements, the financial
data required to be set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of three subsidiary partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties regarding their continuing operations. During
the 1997 Fiscal Year, these subsidiary partnerships incurred significant
operating losses and one is in default on its mortgage obligation. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the subsidiary partnership's abilities
to continue as going concerns. The financial statements of these three
subsidiary partnerships were prepared assuming that each will continue as a
going concern. The three subsidiary partnerships' losses before extraordinary
items aggregated $887,146 (Fiscal 1997), $1,027,546 (Fiscal 1996) and $812,198
(Fiscal 1995) and their assets aggregated $16,967,227 and $17,647,112 at March
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Management's plans regarding these matters are
also discussed in Note 10(a). The accompanying consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

is computed using primarily the straight line method over the estimated
useful lives determined by the Partnership date of acquisition.
(b) Furniture and fixtures, included in buildings and improvements, are
depreciated primarily by the straight line method over their estimated
useful lives ranging from 3 to 20 years.

At the time the local partnerships were acquired by Liberty Tax Credit Plus
Limited Partnership, the entire purchase price paid by Liberty Tax Credit Plus
Limited Partnership was pushed down to the local partnerships as property and
equipment with an offsetting credit to capital. Since the projects were in the
construction phase at the time of acquisition, the capital accounts were
insignificant at the time of purchase. Therefore, there are no material
differences between the original cost basis for tax and GAAP.
