PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
Liberty Tax Credit Plus II L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on March
25, 1988. The general partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties
II L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), Liberty
Associates II L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Liberty Associates"), and
Liberty GP II Inc. (formerly Shearson Liberty GP II Inc.), a Delaware
corporation (the "Liberty General Partner" and together with the Related General
Partner and Liberty Associates, the "General Partners"). The general partner of
the Related General Partner is Related Credit Properties II Inc., a Delaware
corporation. The general partners of Liberty Associates are Related Credit
Properties II Inc., and the Liberty General Partner.
Liberty Associates is the Special Limited Partner in all 27 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 registrant to execute control over
the management and policies of the subsidiaries.
On July 20, 1988 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").
As of January 9, 1989 (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 $115,917,500 of gross proceeds of the Offering from
8,431 investors.
The Partnership was formed to invest, as a limited partner, in other
limited partnerships (referred to herein as "Local Partnerships" or "subsidiary
partnerships") each of which owns one or more leveraged low-income multifamily
residential complexes ("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 ("Rehabilitation Projects";
and together with the Apartment Complexes, the "Properties"). Some of the
Apartment Complexes benefit from one or more other forms of federal and state
housing assistance. The Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership
represents from 20% to 98% of the partnership interests in the Local
Partnership. As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had acquired interests in 27
Local Partnerships and does not anticipate making any additional investments.
See Item 2, Properties.
The investment objectives of the Partnerships are to:
1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to Tax Credits (and to a lesser extent
historic 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. Preserve and protect the Partnership's capital.
3. 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.
4. Provide cash distributions when available from the operations of
Apartment Complexes and Rehabilitations Projects.
-2-
<PAGE>
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, ten years from the date of investment or, if later,
the date the Property is placed in service; referred to herein as the "Credit
Period"). Each of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has acquired
an interest has been allocated by the relevant state credit agency the authority
to recognize Tax Credits during the 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, it may lose such
eligibility and suffer an event of "recapture" if (i) the Partnership ceases to
meet qualification requirements , (ii) there is a decrease in the qualified
basis of the Projects, or (iii) there is a 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. None of the Local Partnerships in which
the Partnership has acquired an interest has suffered an event of recapture.
The Tax Credits are available for a ten-year period which commences when
the property is placed into service. 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 may not be claimed by the Partnership.
The General Partners generally require in connection with certain
investments in Local Partnerships that the general partner of the local
partnership undertake to fund operating deficits (up to a stated maximum amount)
of the Local Partnership during a limited period of time following the
Partnership's investment ("Guarantee Period"). As of March 31, 1997, all
operating deficit guarantees have expired. Generally the amounts funded pursuant
to the Operating Deficit Guarantee are treated as Operating Loans, do not bear
interest and will be repaid only out of 50% of available cash flow or out of
available net sale or refinancing proceeds. See Item 8, Note 8 - Related Party
Transactions.
The Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating Tax
Credits to qualified BACs holders. To date, none of the Local Partnerships has
failed to remain in compliance with the Tax Credit requirements, and therefore
none has suffered an event of recapture of Tax Credits. The Partnership
generated $17,193,735, $17,174,288 and $17,203,141 in Tax Credits during the
1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
The Partnership also continues to meet its objective of allocating passive
losses to individual BACs holders to offset passive income that they may realize
from rental real estate investments and other passive activities, and allocating
passive losses to corporate BACs holders to offset business income.
As of March 31, 1997, 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. Management expects that the distributions received from the Local
Partnerships will increase, although not to a level sufficient to permit cash
distributions to BACs holders. The Partnership does not anticipate providing
cash distributions to BACs holders in circumstances other than refinancings or
sales.
HUD previously 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 are: 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
-3-
<PAGE>
payments 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.
Several industry sources have commented to HUD and Congress that in the
event the ACPA was fully enacted in its present form, the reduction in mortgage
indebtedness would be considered taxable income to owners such as to the limited
partners in the Partnership. Legislative relief has been proposed to exempt
"marked-to-market" debt from cancellation of indebtedness income treatment.
Additionally, in the interim, HUD has agreed to annual extensions of any
expiring project-based Section 8 contracts but there is no guarantee that such
extensions will be available in the future. Though HUD initially backed away
from the "marked-to-market" proposal, it has now been reintroduced as "Portfolio
Restructuring".
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 33% 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 the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") to make
rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to
partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owner's 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 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 business which may compete with the Partnership.
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 Partnerships Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").

<PAGE>
All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years and no
tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
Rents from commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot
applies) comprise less than 5% of the rental revenues of the 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. No improvements are
expected to require additional financing.
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.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
This information is incorporated by reference to the discussions of Alexis,
Metropolitan, Santa Juanita, Robin Housing, Campeche and Bayamon in the Results
of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships contained in Item 7. Management's

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 and outstanding 115,917.5 Limited Partnership
Interests, each representing a $1,000 capital contribution to the Partnership,
or an aggregate capital contribution of $115,917,500. 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
115,917.5 BACs to the purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of
$115,917,500. 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 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
plan to impose limited restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the
Limited Partnership Interests in secondary market transactions. Implementation
of 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.
As of June 16, 1997, the Partnership has 8,421 registered holders of an
aggregate of 115,917.5 BACs.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the three General
Partners.
There are no material provisions in the Partnership Agreement that restrict
the ability of the Partnership to make distributions.
The Partnership has not made any distributions to the BACs holders as of
March 31, 1997. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions
to its BACs holders other than from net refinancings or sales proceeds.
There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the list of
BACs holders of limited partnerships such as 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
have adopted a policy with respect to requests for the Partnership's list of
BACs holders. This policy is intended to protect investors from unsolicited and
coercive offers to acquire BACs holders' interests and does not limit any other
rights the General Partners may have under the Partnership Agreement or
applicable law.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
The information set forth below presents selected financial data of the
Partnership. There were no operations prior to commencement of the Offering of
BACs on July 20, 1988. Additional financial information is set forth in the

During the years ended March 31, 1993 through 1997, total assets decreased
primarily due to depreciation, partially offset by net additions to property and
equipment. For the year ended March 31, 1997, there was also a decrease in
assets due to a provision for impairment of assets.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to the time that all of the net proceeds had been fully invested in
Local Partnerships, the Partnership's primary source of funds was from the
proceeds of its public offering. During the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, the primary sources of liquidity included: (i) working capital reserves in
the original amount of 3% of gross equity raised; (ii) interest earned on the
working capital reserves; and (iii) cash distributions from operations of the
Local Partnerships. All these sources of funds are available to meet obligations
of the Partnership.
As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership has invested all of the net proceeds
in twenty-seven Local Partnerships. Approximately $439,000 of the purchase price
remains to be paid (none of which is held in escrow). During the year ended
March 31, 1997, $294,250 was paid (all of which was released from escrow).
The Partnership is not expected to have access to additional sources of
financing, and in particular will not have the ability to access BACs holders
for additional capital contributions to provide capital if needed by the
Partnership. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available
to the Partnership or any local partnership, nor that, if any property is sold,
the proceeds of the sale will be sufficient to pay outstanding balances due on
mortgage loans or other outstanding indebtedness to which the property is
subject.
The Partnership established a working capital reserve of approximately
$3,500,000 (3% of gross equity raised) of which approximately $520,000 and
$402,000 was unused at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The General
Partners believe that the remaining reserves plus any cash distributions
received from the operations of the Local Partnerships are sufficient to fund
the Partnership's ongoing operations for the foreseeable future. During the
years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, amounts received from
operations of the Local Partnerships were approximately $621,000, $11,000 and
$8,000.
During the year ended March 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents of the
Partnership and its 27 consolidated Local Partnerships increased approximately
$458,000. This increase was primarily due to cash provided by operating
activities $2,990,000, a decrease in cash held in escrow for investing
activities ($429,000) and a net increase in due to local general partners and
affiliates ($294,000) which exceeded acquisitions of property and equipment
($1,463,000), an increase in deferred costs ($33,000), repayments of mortgage
notes ($1,165,000), a decrease in due to selling partners ($229,000) and a
decrease in capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority
interest ($366,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to
cash provided by operating activities is depreciation and amortization of
approximately $8,848,000 and a provision for impairment of assets of
approximately $4,727,000.
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements with
all Local Partnerships, pursuant to which the general partners of the Local
Partnerships have agreed to fund operating deficits for a specified period of
time. The terms of the Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements vary for each
Local Partnership, with the maximum dollar amounts to be funded for a specified
period of time, generally three years, commencing at rent stabilization. The
gross amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees is approximately $11,567,000,
of which an aggregate of approximately $11,567,000, $11,273,300 and $10,099,330
had expired as of March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As of March 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, approximately $5,580,000, $4,965,000 and
$4,304,000, had been funded by the Local General Partners to meet such
obligations. Although all operating deficit guarantees have expired, management
does not expect their expiration to have a material impact on liquidity, based
on prior years' funding.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounting to
approximately $2,378,000 and $882,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31,
1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively.
HUD previously 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
-10-
<PAGE>
authority. Two key proposals in the ACPA that could affect the Local
Partnerships are: 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 payments 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.
Several industry sources have commented to HUD and Congress that in the
event the ACPA was fully enacted in its present form, the reduction in mortgage
indebtedness would be considered taxable income to owners such as to the limited
partners in the Partnership. Legislative relief has been proposed to exempt
"marked-to-market" debt from cancellation of indebtedness income treatment.
Additionally, in the interim, HUD has agreed to annual extensions of any
expiring project-based Section 8 contracts but there is no guarantee that such
extensions will be available in the future. Though HUD initially backed away
from the "marked-to-market" proposal, it has now been reintroduced as "Portfolio
Restructuring".
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 the 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 offerings in 27 Local Partnerships, all of which fully have
their tax credits in place. The tax credits are attached to the project 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 significant value to the property on the market, which are not
included in the financial statement carrying amount.
Results of Operations
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of". Under SFAS No. 121, the Partnership is required to review long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss should be recognized whenever the review
demonstrates that the book value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable.
Effective April 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 121, consistent with
the required adoption period.
Property and equipment are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or
estimated amounts recoverable through future operations and ultimate disposition
of the property. Cost includes the purchase price, acquisition fees and
expenses, and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. A provision
for loss on impairment of assets is recorded when estimated amounts recoverable
through future operations and sale of the property on an undiscounted basis are
below depreciated cost. 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, 1997, the Partnership has recorded approximately $4,727,000 as
a provision for loss on impairment of assets.
-11-
<PAGE>
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership
for the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 (the 1996, 1995 and 1994
Fiscal Years, respectively).
The majority of the Local Partnerships' revenues continue to be in the form
of rental income with the corresponding expenses divided among operations,
depreciation and mortgage interest.
The net loss for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years totaled $13,407,126,
$6,532,558 and $6,910,102, respectively. The net loss for the 1996 Fiscal Year
includes a provision for impairment of assets of approximately $4,727,000 (see
Note 4 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data).
The Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating Tax
Credits to qualified BACs holders. To date, none of the Local Partnerships have
failed to remain in compliance with the Tax Credit requirements, and, therefore,
none have suffered an event of recapture of Tax Credits. The Partnership
generated $17,193,735, $17,174,288 and $17,203,141 in Tax Credits during the
1995, 1994 and 1993 Fiscal Years, respectively.
1996 vs. 1995
Rental income increased approximately 3% for the 1996 Fiscal Year as
compared to the corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to the merger of
Spring Creek Retail Associates, L.P. ("Retail") with Spring Creek Associates,
L.P. ("Spring Creek") effective August 16, 1996 (see Note 1 to the financial
statements in Item 8.). Before such merger, the commercial rent was accrued by
Spring Creek on the basis of cash flow from Retail's operations, pursuant to the
terms of a net lease agreement. Excluding Spring Creek, rental income increased
approximately 2% primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income decreased approximately $316,000 for the 1996 Fiscal Year as
compared to the corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to a settlement
agreement in 1995 which resulted in the return of funds allegedly distributed in
an unauthorized manner by the managing agent to Bayamon's operating bank account
(see Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships).
Total expenses excluding general and administrative-related parties and
provision for impairment of assets remained fairly consistent with an increase
of approximately 5% for the 1996 Fiscal Year as compared to the 1995 Fiscal
Year.
General and administrative-related parties increased approximately
$1,233,000 for the 1996 Fiscal Year as compared to the corresponding period in
1995 primarily due to an increase in partnership management fees payable to the
General Partners.
A provision for impairment of assets was recorded in the 1996 Fiscal Year
(see Note 4 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data).
1995 vs. 1994
Rental income increased approximately $44,000 for the 1995 Fiscal Year as
compared to the corresponding period in 1994 due to annual rent increases which
are generally subject to HUD limitations.
Other income increased approximately $271,000 primarily due to a settlement
agreement which resulted in the return of funds allegedly distributed in an
unauthorized manner by the managing agent to Bayamon's operating bank account.
(See Results of Operation's of Certain Local Partnerships).
Total expenses, excluding general and administrative-related parties,
remained fairly consistent with an increase of less than 1% for the 1995 Fiscal
Year as compared to the corresponding period in 1994.
-12-
<PAGE>
General and administrative-related parties decreased approximately
$377,000 for the 1995 Fiscal Year as compared to the corresponding period in
1994 primarily due to the proceeds from the savings of interest expense
resulting from a refinancing at one Local Partnership which became payable to
the local general partner of such Local Partnership in the 1994 Fiscal Year (see
Note 8 to the financial statements in Item 8 below).
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
Whittier Plaza Associates
The financial statements for Whittier Plaza Associates Limited Partnership
("Whittier") have been prepared assuming that the partnership will continue as a
going concern. Whittier has sustained continuous losses since commencement of
operations in 1988, including losses of approximately $550,000, $42,000 and
$58,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively. Whittier has
experienced higher vacancies and lower rents than those originally projected,
resulting in increased difficulty in meeting both operating and debt service
obligations. A subsidiary general partner, pursuant to a development deficit
guarantee agreement, has advanced $53,086 and $54,234 in the 1996 and 1995
Fiscal Years, respectively, and $291,994 since 1988 to fund operating cash
shortfalls. In addition, the subsidiary partnership's management company, an
affiliate of the local general partner, has deferred receipt of various fees
since 1991 totalling $42,864. These items raise substantial doubt about
Whittier's ability to continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment
in Whittier at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was reduced to zero as a result of prior
years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at each date. Whittier's
net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $550,000 (after
provision for impairment of assets of approximately $490,000), $42,000 and
$58,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years.
Alexis Park Apartments
During 1990, vapor fumes were discovered in several apartments at Alexis
Park Apartments, a Louisiana Partnership in Commendam ("Alexis"). As a result,
47 of the 280 units were vacated as ordered by the Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality ("DEQ"). At December 31, 1996, 39 of these units have been
cleared for occupancy by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospital and the
remaining 8 units have undergone refurbishing and are currently being rented to
an oil company. It is anticipated that the units will be available to the
general public in the near future.
Alexis has also been named as co-defendant in a suit for damages filed by a
group comprised of former tenants and a few present tenants at the project. The
suit, Berzas, et. al. v. Oxy USA, Inc., et al., was instituted in January 1991
in the 26th Judicial District Court, Bossier Parish, Louisiana. The Partnership
has been advised that Louisiana law does not permit disclosure of money damages
sought. The suit alleges certain personal injuries as a result of exposure to
toxic chemicals emanating from the site upon which the Apartment Complex is
built. Management intends to deny all allegations stated in the complaint. Legal
counsel for Alexis expects a settlement agreement and a dismissal of claims will
be perfected in early 1997. The settlement will be paid by insurance with no
loss to the Partnership.
Alexis is named as co-defendant in another suit. The suit, Jimmy Green, et
al. v. Cities Service Refinery, et al., was instituted in March 1991 in the 26th
Judicial District Court, Bossier Parish, Louisiana. The Partnership has been
advised that Louisiana law does not permit disclosure of money damages sought.
The plaintiffs are a group of homeowners who live south of the Alexis site and
are seeking damages for devaluation of their property and for alleged personal
injuries suffered as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals which they claim
emanated from the site of an oil refinery. Alexis is built on a portion of this
site. The property upon which the plaintiffs homes are built is not within the
boundaries of the oil refinery site. During 1996, Alexis' insurer settled the
suit for $2,500.
Alexis has filed a cross claim against the former owners of the property it
now operates, for judgment against them in solido, for any damages Alexis may
sustain arising from the environmental problem which is the subject of the suit
and also, should Alexis be cast in judgment in the main demand, then for
judgment over them in cross claim in solido, for the full amount of said
judgment.
-13-
<PAGE>
Management of Alexis believes that the environmental issue has created a
negative image for the Project. The DEQ has issued a statement that all occupied
apartments are safe. Pursuant to an Investigative Agreement with the DEQ,
additional testing of the project site and adjacent areas began June 15, 1992.
The testing was overseen by the DEQ and was completed on February 10, 1995.
The DEQ has now turned the matter over to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") to review the testing. The EPA performed indoor air
tests at the site on 28 units and issued a draft report on January 2, 1997.
According to the report, the EPA's inspection found that none of the units has
acute air pollution levels. The report further states that two units were found
to have sufficient amounts of air pollutants to possibly cause health concerns
after years of continual exposure. The report recommends certain remediation for
these two units and states that testing of the surrounding units will continue.
If remediation in some manner is required, the remediation plan will take into
account the health and safety of the residents and workers which would improve
the long-term prospects for occupancy.
In July of 1991, the former general partner of Alexis received notification
from the U.S. Department of Justice that some of its officers were under
investigation for possible violations of Federal criminal statutes arising out
of the filing of the Alexis partnership tax returns for the years 1988 and 1989.
Included in this notification was an invitation to appear before the Grand Jury.
The former general partner of Alexis opted to have its corporate counsel submit
to the U.S. Attorney and Internal Revenue Service, a written summary of the
former general partner's involvement with Alexis and the filing of Alexis' tax
returns.
The former general partner of Alexis denies any wrong doing. The facts and
focus of this investigation are unclear and the ultimate effects, if any, on
Alexis' financial statements are not determinable.
In summary, management is optimistic that the hazardous waste matter will
be favorably resolved and that any losses from the class action lawsuit will be
covered by insurance. Management believes that the investigation by the U.S.
Department of Justice is unlikely to have any material financial effect on
Alexis. Management believes Alexis has demonstrated that it has the ability to
generate sufficient operating capital without the oil company's assistance.
Based on these evaluations, management believes that Alexis will continue as a
going concern for at least one year beyond December 31, 1996. It is too
premature to make an evaluation of the amount or range of Alexis' potential
loss, therefore 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 Alexis amounting to
approximately $879,000 at March 31, 1997. Management estimates that the impact
of the negative publicity on occupancy may continue for a while and believes
that future levels of occupancy will depend on the final findings of the
investigating parties and on future media attention. The Partnership's
investment in Alexis at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $879,000 and
$1,016,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance was approximately
$3,800 and $5,200, respectively. Alexis' net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $137,000, $244,000 and $165,000, for the 1996, 1995
and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Williamsburg Residential, L.P.
In November 1996, the general partner of Williamsburg Residential, L.P.
("Williamsburg") stopped making mortgage note payments which constituted an
event of default. The general partner also communicated to the limited partners
its desire to withdraw as general partner and property manager in an effort to
eliminate the need for it to further secure loans from its affiliated entities
to keep the project going. The limited partners retained a national property
management firm to operate the property effective January 1, 1997 and replaced
the general partner effective January 16, 1997.
The new general partner, which is an affiliate of the Related General
Partner, has been in contact with the lender, Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA"), since shortly after the default. Williamsburg entered into
a Forbearance Agreement with FNMA on January 27, 1997. The agreement called for
back payments to be made and provided Williamsburg 60 days to work out a loan
agreement. A subsequent extension of the forbearance agreement runs through July
25, 1997. The general framework of the
-14-
<PAGE>
proposed loan modification agreement calls for: 1. Williamsburg to deposit an
amount approximately equal to six months payments into a debt service escrow
fund to be utilized as needed; 2. Payments of interest only on the loan for 36
months; 3. The waiving of replacement reserve escrow payments during 1997; 4.
Excess net operating income to be turned over to the loan servicer monthly.
FNMA's standard modification documentation will be used after which FNMA will
not exercise further remedies relating to the default. The factors mentioned
above create an uncertainty as to Williamsburg's ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary should Williamsburg be unable to continue as a going concern. The
Partnership's investment in Williamsburg at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was reduced
to zero by prior and current years' losses and $1,037,000, respectively, and the
minority interest balance was zero at each date. Williamsburg's net loss after
minority interest amounted to approximately $1,667,000 (after provision for
impairment of assets of approximately $1,588,000), $142,000 and $58,000 for the
1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership
The financial statements for Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership
("Goodfellow") have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of Goodfellow as a going
concern. However, Goodfellow has sustained substantial operating losses in
recent years. In addition, Goodfellow has used substantial amounts of working
capital in its operations and has depleted the operating deficit escrow
originally established in 1990 in the amount of $163,000. Further, at December
31, 1996, current liabilities exceed current assets and prepaid expenses by
$61,076.
A prepayment of $163,000 was due on the promissory note payable to St.
Louis Community Development Agency ("CDA") in August 1996, upon release of the
Operating Deficit Guarantee Escrow. The General Partners have defaulted on this
requirement and placed $163,000 in an interest bearing money market account in
the name of the project. This account has been voluntarily restricted by the
general partners and has a balance of $165,756 at December 31, 1996. The general
partners of Goodfellow plan to negotiate with CDA in an attempt to restructure
the agreement to allow the project to place those funds in the operating deficit
escrow account held in trust by Missouri Housing Development Committee ("MHDC").
These funds would then be used to fund future operating deficits. In addition,
management is evaluating the possibility of increasing rents to meet cash flow
needs.
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in
the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of
Goodfellow, which in turn is dependent upon Goodfellow's ability to negotiate an
agreement with CDA, and the success of its future operations. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to review Goodfellow's operating and
financial requirements provide the opportunity for Goodfellow to continue as a
going concern, however, the outcome of the planned negotiations with CDA is
uncertain.
It is management's opinion that no accrual for potential losses is
currently warranted in the financial statements. The Partnership's investment in
Goodfellow at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was reduced to zero by prior and current
years' losses and $34,000, respectively and the minority interest balance was
zero at each date. Goodfellow's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $2,829,000 (after provision for impairment of assets of
approximately $2,649,000), $102,000 and $103,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994
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.
-15-
<PAGE>
Management plans to continue to minimize costs within its 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. It is management's opinion that no accrual for potential losses
is currently warranted in the financial statements.
The Partnership's investment in Willoughby at March 31, 1997 and 1996 has
been reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance
amounted to approximately $182,000 and $184,000, respectively. Willoughby's net
loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $273,000, $309,000 and
$316,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Robin Housing Associates
Robin Housing Associates ("Robin Housing") is a defendant in a personal
injury lawsuit. The Partnership's insurance carrier intends to defend the
Partnership vigorously. Counsel believes that the insurance coverage is adequate
to cover any liability arising from this action. 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 $160,000 at March 31,
1997. The Partnership's investment in Robin Housing at March 31, 1997 and 1996
was approximately $160,000 and $185,000 and the minority interest balance was
$728,000 and $949,000, respectively. Robin Housing's net loss after minority
interest amounted to approximately $30,000, $36,000 and $31,000 for the 1996,
1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Metropolitan Towers Associates, L.P.
The subsidiary partnership, Metropolitan Towers Associates, L.P.
("Metropolitan"), is a defendant in a legal proceeding brought about by one of
its tenants for damages suffered by her child upon falling from her apartment's
balcony. The proceedings are still in a preliminary phase but it is legal
counsel's opinion that if any damages are awarded to the plaintiff, the same
will be covered by the partnership's insurance policy. 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 Metropolitan amounting to approximately $1,340,000 at
March 31, 1997. The Partnership's investment in Metropolitan at March 31, 1997
and 1996 was approximately $1,340,000 and $1,471,000, respectively, and the
minority interest was zero at each date. Metropolitan's net loss after minority
interest amounted to approximately $131,000, $147,000 and $139,000 for the 1996,
1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Gramco Development Limited Dividend
The Office of the Inspector General ("OIG") conducted an audit of the
construction and operational costs of the Gramco Development Limited Dividend
Partnership, L.P. ("Bayamon") to ascertain compliance with federal government
regulations. The report on such audit recommended the repayment of $2,006,118 of
Housing Development Assistance Grant ("HODAG") funds provided by HUD through the
Municipality of Bayamon (the "Municipality"). The report also recommended the
return of $341,667 to Bayamon's operating account, allegedly distributed in an
unauthorized manner. In May 1995, the Partnership, OIG, HUD, the Municipality,
the general contractor (a related company of Bayamon), the Local Partnership's
general partner, the management agent, and the officers and directors of the
related companies executed a settlement agreement. As a result of this
agreement, the management agent assumed the liability and reimbursed $600,000 to
the Municipality corresponding to HODAG funds and $341,667 to the project's
general operating account which is included in other income for the 1995 Fiscal
Year. The parties fully released one and the other from any further claim and
any/all causes of action in connection with the OIG audit.
-16-
<PAGE>
In the event of a substantive violation to the provisions of certain
agreements between Bayamon and the Municipality and between the Municipality and
HUD, a promissory note dated April 4, 1987 for $4,867,000 granted to Bayamon
shall become immediately due and payable at the election of HUD and the
Municipality. Otherwise, the principal amount of the obligation together with
any interest will be forgiven. Proceeds from the loan have been deducted from
fixed assets. It is management's opinion that no accrual for potential losses is
currently warranted in the financial statements. The Partnership's investment in
Bayamon at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $1,231,000 and $1,506,000
and the minority interest balance was approximately $425,000 and $427,000,
respectively. Bayamon's net income (loss) after minority interest amounted to
approximately, ($275,000), $77,000 and ($252,000) for the 1996, 1995 and 1994
Fiscal Years, respectively.
Santa Juanita II Limited Partnership
A bank filed a suit against the Local Partnership Santa Juanita II Limited
Partnership ("Santa Juanita") for non-payment of the monthly installments
required by a second mortgage loan agreement. During February 1994, the court
issued a judgement against Santa Juanita demanding immediate payment of the
second mortgage note with an outstanding principal balance of $474,656, plus
accrued interest and legal expenses. A significant portion of Santa Juanita's
operating assets is pledged as collateral for this note and foreclosure by the
bank would seriously impair Santa Juanita's continued existence. In May 1996,
the special limited partner of Santa Juanita instituted proceedings to formally
remove the general partner of Santa Juanita. In June 1996, the general partner
of Santa Juanita filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"). In June 1997 the court ordered that Santa
Juanita's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership and Management
Agreement should not be part of the general partner's bankruptcy. As such, the
court ordered the general partner to surrender the books and records of Santa
Juanita to Liberty Associates, the special limited partner. Liberty Associates
is in the process of amending Santa Juanita's Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership to remove the current general partner as general partner and
management agent and admit a new general partner and management agent. It is
managements opinion that no accrual for potential losses is currently warranted
in the financial statements. The financial statements for the 1996 and 1995
Fiscal Years for this subsidiary partnership were not audited. The maximum loss
which the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in Santa Juanita
amounting to approximately $568,000 at March 31, 1997. The Partnerships
investment in Santa Juanita at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately
$478,000 and $568,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance was zero
at each date. Santa Juanita's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $90,000, $90,000 and $177,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
Rolling Green Limited Partnership
Rolling Green Limited Partnership ("Rolling Green") operates and is
regulated by HUD under Section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act. Rents
received by Rolling Green are subsidized by Section 8 Housing Assistance
Payments. Rental income from such Assistance Payments totaled $1,198,880 and
$1,143,607 in the 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively. In September 1997
two of the three Section 8 contracts, now in operation, will expire. Management
has been assured in verbal communications that such contracts will be renewed.
However, uncertainties regarding the future of HUD Programs exist. It is not
practical to estimate the impact upon Rolling Green's operations if the rents
were to be respectively changed to market value.
Campeche Isle Apartments, L.P.
Campeche Isle Apartments, L.P. ("Campeche") filed a voluntary petition
under Chapter 11 during March 1996. Although current on its debt service up to
and including the January 1, 1996 payment, the property was unable to fully fund
all operating expenses plus debt service following a 1% increase in the interest
rate on the property's mortgage in June of 1994. Debt service had been kept
current through advances by the subsidiary partnership's general partner, RCC
Pineview, Inc., and the Partnership totaling $302,222 as of December 31, 1996.
In addition, Campeche has not paid its managing agent in excess of $100,000 of
management fees.
In an effort to reduce the property's debt service burden, negotiations
with the holder of the property's first mortgage, Sun America Life Insurance
Company (the "Mortgagee") had been ongoing during January and
-17-
<PAGE>
February of 1996. The Mortgagee rejected Campeche's proposals and commenced a
foreclosure action during the latter part of February. In order to preserve
Campeche's ownership of the property, a Chapter 11 filing was made during March
1996 and the Mortgagee was stayed from proceeding with its foreclosure. Campeche
has presented a Plan of Reorganization to the Bankruptcy Court and the property
is being operated under a Cash Collateral order issued by the Court. Campeche
completed the restructuring of their mortgage debt on June 19, 1997 wherein the
mortgage debt was settled for $4,200,000, through the following transactions:
Bank of Boston made a $4,000,000 loan to Campeche and the Partnership as
co-borrowers. Such loan is secured by a first mortgage on Campeche Isle
Apartments, a pledge of the Partnership's interest in Spring Creek and recourse
guarantees of the Partnership, Campeche, Campeche's general partner and one of
the General Partners. In addition to paying off the mortgage, the restructuring
agreement required Campeche to make approximately $800,000 of required repairs
to the project. The Partnership raised approximately $1,400,000 through the sale
of a portion of its limited partnership interests in United-Glenarden I Limited
Partnership and Property Development Associates, L.P. to Related Glenport
Associates, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner. Monthly debt service on
the new loan will be paid by the net income of Campeche and the balance by the
Partnership. In addition, any distributions received by the Partnership from
Spring Creek must be placed in escrow at Bank of Boston. The new loan matures on
December 31, 1998. The financial statements for the 1996 Fiscal Year for this
subsidiary partnership were not audited. The Partnerships investment in Campeche
at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $454,000 and $788,000,
respectively, and the minority interest balance was zero at each date.
Campeche's net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $334,000,
$334,000 and $251,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Seagrape Village Associates
Pursuant to an audit conducted by HUD, it was determined that 14 units of
the property were ineligible effective March 1, 1991, for inclusion in the
housing assistance payment contract. On November 1, 1994, Seagrape Village
Associates, Ltd. ("Seagrape") entered into a settlement agreement with HUD
whereby Seagrape will reimburse to HUD the sum of $474,500 without interest over
twelve years commencing on December 1, 1996. Payment will be made by deducting
the monthly amount from each rental assistance payment. In 1994, Seagrape
recorded a liability of $306,154 after discounting the value of the settlement
by imputing an interest rate equal to 8%.
During 1996, HUD reviewed the refinancing of the mortgage note payable with
respect to its impact on rent. They determined that a retroactive reduction of
rents should take place. On September 10, 1996, Seagrape entered into a
settlement agreement with HUD whereby Seagrape will reimburse to HUD the sum of
$90,093 without interest over four years commencing on December 1, 1996. Payment
will be made by deducting the monthly amount from each rental assistance
payment. Seagrape recorded a liability of $75,905 after discounting the value of
the settlement by imputing an interest rate equal to 8%.
Other
The Partnership'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 Partnership's
investments also could be adversely affected by poor economic conditions
generally, which could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and
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 operation 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 HUD to 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.

<PAGE>
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. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships
adversely by increasing operating costs as, for example, for such items as fuel,
utilities and labor.
There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the list of
BACs holders of limited partnerships such as 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
have adopted a policy with respect to requests for the Partnership's list of
BACs holders. This policy is intended to protect investors from unsolicited and
coercive offers to acquire BACs 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 II L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Tax Credit Plus
II L.P. and Subsidiaries (a Delaware Limited Partnership) as of March 31, 1997
and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
partners' capital, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 (the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years). 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 27 (1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years) subsidiary
partnerships whose losses aggregated $10,828,750, $6,098,858, and $6,767,457 for
the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose assets constituted
98% and 99% of the Partnership's assets at March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements for 25 of 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.
The financial statements of two of these subsidiary partnerships for the 1996
Fiscal Year were unaudited.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, 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 II L.P. and Subsidiaries at March
31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the
years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include
the financial statements of seven limited partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of five of these
subsidiary partnerships were prepared assuming that each will continue as a
going concern. The financial statements for the 1996 Fiscal Year for two of
these subsidiary partnerships were not audited. The seven subsidiary
partnerships' net losses aggregated $5,884,547(Fiscal 1996), $1,268,304 (Fiscal
1995) and $1,133,889 (Fiscal 1994) and their assets aggregated $24,497,927 and
$30,301,229 at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These matters raise
substantial doubt about these subsidiary partnerships' abilities to continue as
going concerns. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 10(a). The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

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.

LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS II L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - General
Liberty Tax Credit Plus II L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on March 25, 1988, but had no activity until July
1, 1988 (which date is considered to be inception for financial accounting
purposes). The Partnership had no operations until commencement of the public
offering on July 20, 1988.
The Partnership's business is to invest in other limited partnerships
("Local Partnerships", "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. The Partnership's investment in each Local
Partnership represents a 20% to 98% interest in that Local Partnership.
The Partnership has acquired interests in 27 Local Partnerships as of March
31, 1997, and does not anticipate making any additional investments.
Effective August 16, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Consent
("Agreement"), Spring Creek Retail Associates, L.P. ("Retail") was merged with
Spring Creek Associates, L.P. ("Spring Creek") in which the Partnership has a
limited partnership interest. Before such merger, the commercial net rental
income from Retail was accrued by Spring Creek on the basis of cash flow from
Retail's operations, pursuant to the terms of a net lease agreement. Effective
upon the merger, the partnership agreement of Spring Creek was amended and the
net lease agreement was cancelled.
The Partnership was authorized to issue a total of 200,000 Beneficial
Assignment Certificates ("BACs"), of which 120,000 have been registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for sale to the public. The public offering
was completed on January 9, 1989 with a total of 115,917.5 BACs sold and
$115,917,500 of proceeds received by the Partnership.
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 27 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 local partnerships
and to approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership
has a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary local partnerships.
The Partnership's fiscal year ends on March 31. All subsidiaries have
calendar year ends. Accounts of the subsidiaries have been adjusted for
intercompany transactions from January 1 through March 31. The books and records
of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). All
intercompany accounts and transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have
been eliminated in consolidation.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest arise from cash contributions and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.
Losses attributable to minority interests which exceed the minority
interest's investment in a subsidiary partnership have been charged to the
Partnership. Such losses aggregated $524,000, $532,000 and $274,950 for the
years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 (the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal
Years), respectively. The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary
partnership is equal to the respective subsidiary's partners' equity less
minority interest capital, if any. 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
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of". Under SFAS No. 121, the Partnership is required to review long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss should be recognized whenever the review
demonstrates that the book value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable.
Effective April 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 121, consistent with
the required adoption period.
Property and equipment are carried at the lower of depreciated cost of
estimated amounts recoverable through future operations and ultimate disposition
of the property. Cost 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. A provision for loss on impairment of
assets is recorded when estimated amounts recoverable through future operations
and sale of the property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost.
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, 1997, the
Partnership has recorded approximately $4,727,000 as a provision for loss on
impairment of assets.
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.

MARCH 31, 1997
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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. In
addition, the Partnership evaluates a potential environmental liability
independently from any potential claim for recovery.
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.
h) Financial Statements Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Year
Financial Statements to conform with the 1996 Fiscal Year Financial Statement
presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net loss as previously
reported.
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.

Included in property and equipment is $6,955,050 of acquisition fees paid
or accrued to the general partners and $1,606,014 of acquisition expenses as of
March 31, 1997 and 1996. In addition, as of March 31, 1997 and 1996, buildings
and improvements include $7,015,991 of capitalized interest.
Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
amounted to $8,584,497, $7,947,111 and $7,954,255, respectively.
In connection with the rehabilitation of the properties, the subsidiary
partnerships have incurred developer's fees of $20,563,695 to the Local General
Partners and affiliates. Such fees have been included in the cost of property
and equipment.
During the 1996 Fiscal Year, there was a decrease in accumulated
depreciation in the amounts of $61,438 and $967,237 due to write-offs on
dispositions and the provision for impairment of assets relating to Gramco
Development Limited Dividend Partnership and Goodfellow Place Limited
Partnership, respectively.
On December 31, 1996, the buildings at Whittier Plaza Associates, L.P. were
deemed to be impaired and written down to estimated fair value. Fair value was
determined based on forecasted net operating income, capitalized at a rate of
10%. Carrying value exceeded estimated fair value by approximately $490,000.
Accordingly, a loss of that amount has been charged to operations in the 1996
Fiscal Year.
Williamsburg Residential L.P. has experienced significant losses and cash
flow problems and is presently in default on the mortgage note. As a result of
the operating losses and cash flow problems, management of Williamsburg
determined that an impairment of the property existed at December 31, 1996. The
impairment loss was determined to be $1,588,183 and has been charged to
operations in the 1996 Fiscal Year. The amount of the impairment loss was
determined based on the difference in the carrying value of the property and the
valuation of the property based on capitalized cash flows.
As a result of cash flow deficiencies decribed in Note 11, land and
apartment buildings at Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership have been deemed to
be impaired and written down to their fair value. The fair value at December 31,
1996 was estimated by management to be $1,140,000. Management estimated the fair
value by capitalizing estimated annual cash flows before debt service using a
13% capitalization rate. The carrying value of the apartment buildings at
December 31, 1996 exceeded their fair value by $2,648,894. An impairment loss of
that amount has been charged to operations in the 1996 Fiscal Year.

Interest accrued at two and three quarters percent above a specified index. At
December 31, 1993, the interest rate was 6%. To the extent that the monthly
payments exceeded the applicable interest rate, such excess payments (positive
amortization) were to be treated as voluntary prepayments of the outstanding
principal balance. Proceeds from the savings of interest expense amounting to
316,370 due to positive amortization became payable to the principals of the
general partner, as stated in the partnership agreement.

B) Guarantees
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements with
all Local Partnerships, pursuant to which the general partners of the Local
Partnerships have agreed to fund operating deficits for a specified period of
time. The terms of the Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements vary for each
Local Partnership, with the maximum dollar amounts to be funded for a specified
period of time, generally three years, commencing at stabilization. The gross
amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregates approximately $11,567,000,
of which $11,567,000, $11,273,300 and $10,099,330 had expired as of March 31,
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. As of March 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995,
approximately $5,580,000, $4,965,000 and $4,304,000, respectively had been
funded by the Local General Partners to meet such obligations. Although all
operating deficit guarantees have expired, management does not expect a material
impact on liquidity, based on prior years' funding. Of the total amount funded
through March 31, 1997, approximately $1,033,000 has been recorded as a capital
contribution, $136,000 was funded by the Partnership, $60,000 has been
recognized as income during the 1992 Fiscal Year, and the remaining balance of
approximately $4,292,000 is recorded as noninterest-bearing operating advances
to be repaid from operating cash flow.
The Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements were negotiated to protect the
Partnership's interest in the Local Partnerships and to provide incentive to the
Local General Partners to generate positive cash flow.

NOTE 10 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concern (Continued)
Whittier Plaza Associates
The financial statements for Whittier Plaza Associates Limited Partnership
("Whittier") have been prepared assuming that the partnership will continue as a
going concern. Whittier has sustained continuous losses since commencement of
operations in 1988, including losses of approximately $550,000, $42,000 and
$58,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively. Whittier has
experienced higher vacancies and lower rents than those originally projected,
resulting in increased difficulty in meeting both operating and debt service
obligations. A subsidiary general partner, pursuant to a development deficit
guarantee agreement, has advanced $53,086 and $54,234 in the 1996 and 1995
Fiscal Years, respectively, and $291,994 since 1988 to fund operating cash
shortfalls. In addition, the subsidiary partnership's management company, an
affiliate of the local general partner, has deferred receipt of various fees
since 1991 totalling $42,864. These items raise substantial doubt about
Whittier's ability to continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment
in Whittier at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was reduced to zero as a result of prior
years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at each date. Whittier's
net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $550,000 (after
provision for impairment of assets of approximately $490,000), $42,000 and
$58,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years.
Alexis Park Apartments
During 1990, vapor fumes were discovered in several apartments at Alexis
Park Apartments, a Louisiana Partnership in Commendam ("Alexis"). As a result,
47 of the 280 units were vacated as ordered by the Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality ("DEQ"). At December 31, 1996, 39 of these units have been
cleared for occupancy by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, the
remaining 8 units have undergone refurbishing and are currently being rented to
an oil company. It is anticipated that the units will be available to the
general public in the near future.
Alexis has also been named as co-defendant in a suit for damages filed by a
group comprised of former tenants and a few present tenants at the project. The
suit, Berzas, et. al. v. Oxy USA, Inc., et al., was instituted in January 1991
in the 26th Judicial District Court, Bossier Parish, Louisiana. The Partnership
has been advised that Louisiana law does not permit disclosure of money damages
sought. The suit alleges certain personal injuries as a result of exposure to
toxic chemicals emanating from the site upon which the Apartment Complex is
built. Management intends to deny all allegations stated in the complaint. Legal
counsel for Alexis expects a settlement agreement and a dismissal of claims will
be perfected in early 1997. The settlement will be paid by insurance with no
loss to the Partnership.
Alexis is named as co-defendant in another suit. The suit, Jimmy Green, et
al. v. Cities Service Refinery, et al., was instituted in March 1991 in the 26th
Judicial District Court, Bossier Parish, Louisiana. The Partnership has been
advised that Louisiana law does not permit disclosure of money damages sought.
The plaintiffs are a group of homeowners who live south of the Alexis site and
are seeking damages for devaluation of their property and for alleged personal
injuries suffered as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals which they claim
emanated from the site of an oil refinery. Alexis is built on a portion of this
site. The property upon which the plaintiff's homes are built is not within the
boundaries of the oil refinery site. During 1996, Alexis' insurer settled the
suit for $2,500.
Alexis has filed a cross claim against the former owners of the property it
now operates, for judgment against them in solido, for any damages Alexis may
sustain arising from the environmental problem which

a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concern (Continued)
is the subject of the suit and also, should Alexis be cast in judgment in the
main demand, then for judgment over them in cross claim in solido, for the full
amount of said judgment.
Management of Alexis believes that the environmental issue has created a
negative image for the Project. The DEQ has issued a statement that all occupied
apartments are safe. Pursuant to an Investigative Agreement with the DEQ,
additional testing of the project site and adjacent areas began June 15, 1992.
The testing was overseen by the DEQ and was completed February 10, 1995.
The DEQ has now turned the matter over to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") to review the testing. The EPA performed indoor air
tests at the site on 28 units and issued a draft report on January 2, 1997.
According to the report, the EPA's inspection found that none of the units has
acute air pollution levels. The report further states that two units were found
to have sufficient amounts of air pollutants to possibily cause health concerns
after years of continual exposure. The report recommends certain remediation for
these two units and states that testing of the surrounding units will continue.
If remediation in some manner is required, the remediation plan will take into
account the health and safety of the residents and workers which would improve
the long-term prospects for occupancy.
In July of 1991, the former general partner of Alexis received notification
from the U.S. Department of Justice that some of its officers were under
investigation for possible violations of Federal criminal statutes arising out
of the filing of the Alexis partnership tax returns for the years 1988 and 1989.
Included in this notification was an invitation to appear before the Grand Jury.
The former general partner of Alexis opted to have its corporate counsel submit
to the U.S. Attorney and Internal Revenue Service, a written summary of the
former general partner's involvement with Alexis and the filing of Alexis' tax
returns.
The former general partner denies any wrong doing. The facts and focus of
this investigation are unclear and the ultimate effects, if any, on the
Partnership's financial statements are not determinable.
In summary, management is optimistic that the hazardous waste matter will
be favorably resolved and that any losses from the class action lawsuit will be
covered by insurance. Management believes that the investigation by the U.S.
Department of Justice is unlikely to have any material financial effect on the
Partnership. Management believes Alexis has demonstrated that it has the ability
to generate sufficient operating capital without the oil company's assistance.
Based on these evaluations, management believes that Alexis will continue as a
going concern for at least one year beyond December 31, 1996. It is too
premature to make an evaluation of the amount or range of Alexis' potential
loss, therefore 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 Alexis amounting to
approximately $879,000 at March 31, 1997. Management estimates that the impact
of the negative publicity on occupancy may continue for awhile and believes that
future levels of occupancy will depend on the final findings of the
investigating parties and on future media attention. The Partnership's
investment in Alexis at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $879,000 and
$1,016,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance was approximately
$3,800 and $5,200, respectively. Alexis' net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $137,000, $244,000 and $165,000, for the 1996, 1995
and 1994 Fiscal Years respectively.

NOTE 10 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concern (Continued)
Williamsburg Residential, L.P.
In November 1996, the general partner of Williamsburg Residential, L.P.
("Williamsburg") stopped making mortgage note payments which constituted an
event of default. The general partner also communicated to the limited partners
its desire to withdraw as general partner and property manager in an effort to
eliminate the need for it to further secure loans from its affiliated entities
to keep the project going. The limited partners retained a national property
management firm to operate the property effective January 1, 1997 and replaced
the general partner effective January 16, 1997.
The new general partner, which is an affiliate of the Related General
Partner, has been in contact with the lender, Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA"), since shortly after the default. Williamsburg entered into
a Forbearance Agreement with FNMA on January 27, 1997. The agreement called for
back payments to be made and provided Williamsburg 60 days to work out a loan
agreement. A subsequent extension of the forbearance agreement runs through July
25, 1997. The general framework of the proposed loan modification agreement
calls for: 1. Williamsburg to deposit an amount approximately equal to six
months payments into a debt service escrow fund to be utilized as needed; 2.
Payments of interest only on the loan for 36 months; 3. The waiving of
replacement reserve escrow payments during 1997; 4. Excess net operating income
to be turned over to the loan servicer monthly. FNMA's standard modification
documentation will be used after which FNMA will not exercise further remedies
relating to the default. The factors mentioned above create an uncertainty as to
Williamsburg's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should Williamsburg be
unable to continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment in
Williamsburg at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was reduced to zero by prior and current
years' losses and $1,037,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance
was zero at each date. Williamsburg's net loss after minority interest amounted
to approximately $1,667,000 (after provision for impairment of assets of
approximately $1,588,000), $142,000 and $58,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994
Fiscal Years, respectively.
Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership
The financial statements for Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership
("Goodfellow") have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of Goodfellow as a going
concern. However, Goodfellow has sustained substantial operating losses in
recent years. In addition, Goodfellow has used substantial amounts of working
capital in its operations and has depleted the operating deficit escrow
originally established in 1990 in the amount of $163,000. Further, at December
31, 1996 current liabilities exceed current assets and prepaid expenses by
$61,076.
A prepayment of $163,000 was due on the promissory note payable to St.
Louis Community Development Agency ("CDA") in August 1996, upon release of the
Operating Deficit Guarantee Escrow. The General Partners have defaulted on this
requirement and placed $163,000 in an interest bearing money market account in
the name of the project. This account has been voluntarily restricted by the
general partners and has a balance of $165,756 at December 31, 1996. The general
partners of Goodfellow plan to negotiate with CDA in an attempt to restructure
the agreement to allow the project to place those funds in the operating deficit
escrow account held in trust by Missouri Housing Development Commission
("MHDC"). These funds would then be used to fund future operating deficits. In
addition, management is evaluating the possibility of increasing rents to meet
cash flow needs.

In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in
the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of
Goodfellow, which in turn is dependent upon Goodfellow's ability to negotiate an
agreement with CDA, and the success of its future operations. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to review Goodfellow's operating and
financial requirements provide the opportunity for Goodfellow to continue as a
going concern, however, the outcome of the planned negotiations with CDA is
uncertain.
It is management's opinion that no accrual for potential losses is
currently warranted in the financial statements. The Partnership's investment in
Goodfellow at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was reduced to zero by prior and current
years' losses, and $34,000, respecitvely and the minority interest balance was
zero at each date. Goodfellow's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $2,829,000 (after provision for impairment of assets of
approximately $2,649,000), $102,000 and $103,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994
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 its 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. It is management's opinion that no accrual for potential losses
is currently warranted in the financial statements.
The Partnership's investment in Willoughby at March 31, 1997 and 1996 has
been reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the minority interest balance
amounted to approximately $182,000 and $184,000, respectively. Willoughby's net
loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $273,000, $309,000 and
$316,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.

the return of $341,667 to Bayamon's operating account, allegedly distributed in
an unauthorized manner. In May 1995, the Partnership, OIG, HUD, the Municipality
of Bayamon, the general contractor (a related company of Bayamon), the Local
Partnership's general partner, the management agent, and the officers and
directors of the related companies executed a settlement agreement. As a result
of this agreement, the management agent assumed the liability and reimbursed
$600,000 to the Municipality corresponding to HODAG funds and $341,667 to the
project's general operating account, which is included in other income for the
1995 Fiscal Year. The parties fully released one and the other from any further
claim and any/all causes of action in connection with the OIG audit.
In the event of a substantive violation to the provisions of certain
agreements between Bayamon and the Municipality and between the Municipality and
HUD, a promissory note dated April 4, 1987 for $4,867,000 granted to Bayamon
shall become immediately due and payable at the election of HUD and the
Municipality. Otherwise, the principal amount of the obligation together with
any interest will be forgiven. Proceeds from the loan have been deducted from
fixed assets. It is management's opinion that no accrual for potential losses is
currently warranted in the financial statements. The Partnership's investment in
Bayamon at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $1,231,000 and $1,506,000
and the minority interest balance was approximately $425,000 and $427,000,
respectively. Bayamon's net income (loss) after minority interest amounted to
approximately ($275,000), $77,000 and ($252,000) for the 1996, 1995 and 1994
Fiscal Years, respectively.
Robin Housing Associates
Robin Housing Associates ("Robin Housing") is a defendant in a personal
injury lawsuit. The Partnership's insurance carrier intends to defend the
Partnership vigorously. Counsel believes that the insurance coverage is adequate
to cover any liability arising from this action. 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 $160,000 at March 31,
1997. The Partnership's investment in Robin Housing at March 31, 1997 and 1996
was approximately $160,000 and $185,000 and the minority interest balance was
$728,000 and $949,000, respectively. Robin Housing's net loss after minority
interest amounted to approximately $30,000, $36,000 and $31,000 for the 1996,
1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Metropolitan Towers Associates, L.P.
The subsidiary partnership, Metropolitan Towers Associates, L.P.
("Metropolitan"), is a defendant in a legal proceeding brought about by one of
its tenants for damages suffered by her child upon falling from her apartment's
balcony. The proceedings are still in a preliminary phase but it is legal
counsel's opinion that if any damages are awarded to the plaintiff, the same
will be covered by the partnership's insurance policy. 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 Metropolitan amounting to approximately $1,340,000 at
March 31, 1997. The Partnership's investment in Metropolitan at March 31, 1997
and 1996 was approximately $1,340,000 and $1,471,000, respectively, and the
minority interest was zero at each date. Metropolitan's net loss after minority
interest amounted to approximately $131,000, $147,000 and $139,000 for the 1996,

b) Subsidiary Partnerships - Other (Continued)
Santa Juanita II Limited Partnership
A bank filed a suit against the Local Partnership Santa Juanita II Limited
Partnership ("Santa Juanita") for non-payment of the monthly installments
required by a second mortgage loan agreement. During February 1994, the court
issued a judgement against Santa Juanita demanding immediate payment of the
second mortgage note with an outstanding principal balance of $474,656, plus
accrued interest and legal expenses. A significant portion of Santa Juanita's
operating assets is pledged as collateral for this note and foreclosure by the
bank would seriously impair Santa Juanita's continued existence. In May 1996,
the special limited partner of Santa Juanita instituted proceedings to formally
remove the general partner of Santa Juanita. In June 1996, the general partner
of Santa Juanita filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"). In June 1997 the court ordered that Santa
Juanita's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership and Management
Agreement should not be part of the general partner's bankruptcy. As such, the
court ordered the general partner to surrender the books and records of Santa
Juanita to Liberty Associates, the special limited partner. Liberty Associates
is in the process of amending Santa Juanita's Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership to remove the current general partner as general partner and
management agent and admit a new general partner and management agent. It is
managements opinion that no accrual for potential losses is currently warranted
in the financial statements. The financial statements for the 1996 and 1995
Fiscal Years for this subsidiary partnership were not audited. The maximum loss
which the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in Santa Juanita
amounting to approximately $568,000 at March 31, 1997. The Partnerships
investment in Santa Juanita at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately
$478,000 and $568,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance was zero
at each date. Santa Juanita's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $90,000, $90,000 and $177,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
Rolling Green Limited Partnership
Rolling Green Limited Partnership ("Rolling Green") operates and is
regulated by HUD under Section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act. Rents
received by Rolling Green are subsidized by Section 8 Housing Assistance
Payments. Rental income from such Assistance Payments totaled $1,198,880 and
$1,143,607 in the 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively. In September 1997,
two of the three Section 8 contracts, now in operation, will expire. Management
has been assured in verbal communications that such contracts will be renewed.
However, uncertainties regarding the future of HUD Programs exist. It is not
practical to estimate the impact upon Rolling Green's operations if the rents
were to be respectively changed to market value.
Campeche Isle Apartments, L.P.
Campeche Isle Apartments, L.P. ("Campeche") filed a voluntary petition
under Chapter 11 during March 1996. Although current on its debt service up to
and including the January 1, 1996 payment, the property was unable to fully fund
all operating expenses plus debt service following a 1% increase in the interest
rate on the property's mortgage in June of 1994. Debt service had been kept
current through advances by the subsidiary partnership's general partner, RCC
Pineview, Inc., and the Partnership totaling $302,222 as of December 31, 1996.
In addition, Campeche has not paid its managing agent in excess of $100,000 of
management fees.
In an effort to reduce the property's debt service burden, negotiations
with the holder of the property's first mortgage, Sun America Life Insurance
Company (the "Mortgagee") had been ongoing during

January and February of 1996. The Mortgagee rejected Campeche's proposals and
commenced a foreclosure action during the latter part of February. In order to
preserve Campeche's ownership of the property, a Chapter 11 filing was made
during March 1996 and the Mortgagee was stayed from proceeding with its
foreclosure. Campeche has presented a Plan of Reorganization to the Bankruptcy
Court and the property is being operated under a Cash Collateral order issued by
the Court. Campeche completed the restructuring of their mortgage debt on June
19, 1997 wherein the mortgage debt was settled for $4,200,000, through the
following transactions: Bank of Boston made a $4,000,000 loan to Campeche and
the Partnership as co-borrowers. Such loan is secured by a first mortgage on
Campeche Isle Apartments, a pledge of the Partnership's interest in Spring Creek
and recourse guarantees of the Partnership, Campeche, Campeche's general partner
and one of the General Partners. In addition to paying off the mortgage, the
restructuring agreement required Campeche to make approximately $800,000 of
required repairs to the project. The Partnership raised approximately $1,400,000
through the sale of a portion of its limited partnership interests in
United-Glenarden I Limited Partnership and Property Development Associates, L.P.
to Related Glenport Associates, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner.
Monthly debt service on the new loan will be paid by the net income of Campeche
and the balance by the Partnership. In addition, any distributions received by
the Partnership from Spring Creek must be placed in escrow at Bank of Boston.
The new loan matures on December 31, 1998. The financial statements for the 1996
Fiscal Year for this subsidiary partnership were not audited. The Partnerships
investment in Campeche at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $454,000 and
$788,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance was zero at each date.
Campeche's net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $334,000,
$334,000 and $251,000 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Seagrape Village Associates
Pursuant to an audit conducted by HUD, it was determined that 14 units of
the property were ineligible effective March 1, 1991, for inclusion in the
housing assistance payment contract. On November 1, 1994, Seagrape Village
Associates Ltd. ("Seagrape") entered into a settlement agreement with HUD
whereby Seagrape will reimburse to HUD the sum of $474,500 without interest over
twelve years commencing on December 1, 1996. Payment will be made by deducting
the monthly amount from each rental assistance payment. In 1994, Seagrape
recorded a liability of $306,154 after discounting the value of the settlement
by imputing an interest rate equal to 8%.
During 1996, HUD reviewed the refinancing of the mortgage note payable with
respect to its impact on rent. They determined that a retroactive reduction of
rents should take place. On September 10, 1996 Seagrape entered into a
settlement agreement with HUD whereby Seagrape will reimburse to HUD the sum of
$90,093 without interest over four years commencing on December 1, 1996. Payment
will be made by deducting the monthly amount from each rental assistance
payment. Seagrape recorded a liability of $75,905 after discounting the value of
the settlement by imputing an interest rate equal to 8%.
Polynesian Apartments Associates, Ltd.
On November 1, 1994, Polynesian Apartments Associates, Ltd. ("Polynesian")
entered into a settlement agreement with HUD whereby Polynesian will reimburse
to HUD the sum of $88,250 without interest over twelve years commencing on
December 1, 1994. Payment will be made by deducting the monthly amount from each
rental assistance payment. Polynesian recorded a liability of $56,995 after
discounting the value of the settlement by imputing an interest rate equal to

MARCH 31, 1997
NOTE 10 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
c) 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 31, 1997, uninsured cash and cash
equivalents approximated $3,284,000.
d) Line of Credit
Included in accounts payable and other liabilities at March 31, 1997, is
approximately $745,000 borrowed by one subsidiary partnership, Rolling Green,
against a $1,000,000 line of credit. Rolling Green is required to pay
forty-eight monthly installments of $10,602 including interest at an annual rate
of 10.25% with a balloon payment of approximately $662,000 due on July 15, 1998.
e) 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 33% 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.
f) Tax Credits
The Partnership and BACs holders began recognizing Housing Tax Credits with
respect to a Property when the Credit Period for such Property began. Because of
the time required for the acquisition, completion and rent-up of Properties, the
amount of Tax Credits per BAC gradually increased over the first three years of
the Partnership. Housing Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years
will be recognized in the 11th through 13th years. For the 1996, 1995 and 1994
tax years, Housing Tax Credits of $17,193,735, $17,174,288 and $17,203,141, were
generated.
A portion of the low-income housing tax credits are subject to recapture in
future years if (i) the Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements,
(ii) there is a decrease in the qualified basis of the projects, or (iii) there
is a 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. II and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus II L.P. and Subsidiaries (a Delaware Limited
Partnership) included in this Form 10-K as presented in our opinion dated June
30, 1997 on page 21 and based on the reports of other auditors, we have also
audited supporting Schedule I for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years and
Schedule III at March 31, 1997. In our opinion, and based on the reports of the
other auditors, these consolidated schedules present fairly, when read in
conjuction 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 seven limited partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of five of these
subsidiary partnerships were prepared assuming that each will continue as a
going concern. The financial statements for the 1996 Fiscal Year for two of
these subsidiary partnerships were not audited. The seven subsidiary
partnerships' net losses aggregated $5,884,547(Fiscal 1996), $1,268,304 (Fiscal
1995) and $1,133,889 (Fiscal 1994) and their assets aggregated $24,497,927 and
$30,301,229 at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These matters raise
substantial doubt about these subsidiary partnerships' abilities to continue as
going concerns. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 10(a). The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

At the time the local partnerships were acquired by Liberty Tax Credit Plus II
Limited Partnership, the entire purchase price paid by Liberty Tax Credit Plus
II 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.
