Item 1. Business

Formation

American  Tax Credit  Properties  II L.P.  ("Registrant"),  a  Delaware  limited
partnership,  was formed on October 26, 1988 to invest  primarily  in  leveraged
low-income  multifamily  residential  complexes (the "Property" or "Properties")
which qualify for the low-income tax credit established by Section 42 of the Tax
Reform Act of 1986 (the  "Low-income  Tax Credit"),  through the  acquisition of
limited partnership equity interests in partnerships (the "Local Partnership" or
"Local  Partnerships")  that are the owners of the  Properties.  Registrant  has
invested in fifty such  Properties  including one Property  which also qualifies
for the historic  rehabilitation  tax credit in accordance with Section 48(g) of
the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Historic  Rehabilitation  Tax Credit").
Registrant considers its activity to constitute a single industry segment.

Richman  Tax Credit  Properties  II L.P.  (the  "General  Partner"),  a Delaware
limited  partnership,  was formed on October 26, 1988 to act as the sole general
partner of Registrant. The general partner of the General Partner is Richman Tax
Credits  Inc.  ("Richman  Tax  Credits"),   a  Delaware   corporation  which  is
wholly-owned  by Richard  Paul  Richman.  Richman Tax Credits is an affiliate of
both The Richman Group, Inc. ("Richman Group"), a Delaware  corporation  founded
by Richard Paul Richman in 1988 and Wilder Richman  Corporation  ("WRC"),  a New
York corporation co-founded by Richard Paul Richman in 1979.

The  Amendment No. 2 to the  Registration  Statement on Form S-11 was filed with
the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  on April 21, 1989
pursuant  to the  Securities  Act  of  1933  under  Registration  Statement  No.
33-25337,  which was declared effective on May 9, 1989. Reference is made to the
prospectus  dated  May 10,  1989,  as  supplemented  by  Supplement  No.  1, and
Supplement No. 2 dated July 25, 1989 and September 18, 1989, respectively, filed
with the Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Prospectus"). Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
on Form S-11 was filed with the  Commission  on November 21,  1989.  Pursuant to
Rule 12b-23 of the Commission's General Rules and Regulations  promulgated under
the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended  (the  "Exchange  Act"),  the
description  of  Registrant's  business set forth under the heading  "Investment
Objectives   and  Policies"  at  pages  47  through  70  of  the  Prospectus  is
incorporated herein by reference.

On June 14, 1989, Registrant commenced,  through Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith  Incorporated  ("Merrill  Lynch"),  the offering of up to 100,000 units of
limited partnership interest ("Unit") at $1,000 per Unit. On June 28, 1989, July
31, 1989 and  September  22, 1989,  the  closings for 13,533,  20,560 and 21,653
Units,  respectively,  took place,  amounting to total limited partners' capital
contributions of $55,746,000.

Competition

Pursuant  to Rule  12b-23 of the  Commission's  General  Rules  and  Regulations
promulgated under the Exchange Act, the description of Registrant's competition,
general risks, tax risks and partnership risks set forth under the heading "Risk
Factors"  at pages 20 through 33 of the  Prospectus  is  incorporated  herein by
reference.

Employees

Registrant  employs no personnel  and incurs no payroll  costs.  All  management
activities of Registrant are conducted by the General  Partner.  An affiliate of
the General Partner employs individuals who perform the management activities of
Registrant.  This entity also performs  similar services for other affiliates of
the General Partner.

Tax Reform Act of 1986, Revenue Act of 1987, Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue
Act  of  1988,  Omnibus  Budget  Reconciliation  Act  of  1989,  Omnibus  Budget
Reconciliation   Act  of  1990,  Tax  Extension  Act  of  1991,  Omnibus  Budget
Reconciliation  Act of 1993 and Uruguay Round Agreements Act  (collectively  the
"Tax Acts")

Registrant  is organized as a limited  partnership  and is a "pass  through" tax
entity which does not, itself, pay Federal income tax. However,  the partners of
Registrant  who are  subject to Federal  income tax may be  affected  by the Tax
Acts.  Registrant will consider the effect of certain aspects of the Tax Acts on
the partners when making decisions  regarding its  investments.  Registrant does
not anticipate  that the Tax Acts will currently have a material  adverse impact
on Registrant's business operations, capital resources and plans or liquidity.

Item 2. Properties

The executive  offices of Registrant and the General  Partner are located at 599
West Putnam Avenue, 3rd floor, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830. Registrant does not
own or lease any  properties.  Registrant  pays no rent;  all charges for leased
space are borne by an affiliate of the General Partner.

Registrant's  primary objective is to provide  Low-income Tax Credits to limited
partners  generally  over  a  ten  year  period.   Each  of  Registrant's  Local
Partnerships  has been  allocated  by the  relevant  state tax credit  agency an
amount of  Low-income  Tax Credits  for ten years from the date the  Property is
placed in service.  The required  holding period of each  Property,  in order to
avoid Low-income Tax Credit  recapture,  is fifteen years from the year in which
the  Low-income  Tax Credits  commence on the last building of the Property (the
"Compliance  Period").  In  addition,  certain  of the Local  Partnerships  have
entered into agreements with the relevant state tax credit agencies  whereby the
Local  Partnerships  must maintain the low-income nature of the Properties for a
period  which  exceeds  the  Compliance  Period,  regardless  of any sale of the
Properties by the Local Partnerships after the Compliance Period. The Properties
must satisfy various requirements  including rent restrictions and tenant income
limitations  (the  "Low-income  Tax Credit  Requirements")  in order to maintain
eligibility for the recognition of the Low-income Tax Credit at all times during
the Compliance  Period.  Once a Local  Partnership  has become  eligible for the
Low-income  Tax  Credit,  it may lose such  eligibility  and  suffer an event of
recapture if its Property fails to remain in compliance  with the Low-income Tax
Credit  Requirements.  Through December 31, 1996, none of the Local Partnerships
have suffered an event of recapture of Low-income Tax Credits.

Although  Registrant  generally owns a 98.9%-99%  limited  partnership  interest
("Local  Partnership  Interest")  in  the  Local  Partnerships,  Registrant  and
American Tax Credit Properties L.P. ("ATCP"), a Delaware limited partnership and
an affiliate of Registrant,  together,  in the  aggregate,  acquired a 99% Local
Partnership  Interest in Santa Juanita Limited  Dividend  Partnership  L.P. (the
"Santa Juanita Local Partnership");  the ownership percentages of Registrant and
ATCP  for  the  Santa   Juanita  Local   Partnership   are  64.36%  and  34.64%,
respectively.  In addition,  Registrant  and American Tax Credit  Properties III
L.P.  ("ATCP  III"),  a  Delaware  limited   partnership  and  an  affiliate  of
Registrant,  together,  in  the  aggregate,  acquired  a 99%  Local  Partnership
Interest in certain Local Partnerships as follows:

                                                Registrant        ATCP III
          Batesville Family, L.P.                  37.25%           61.75%

          Mirador del Toa Limited                39.94            59.06
            Partnership
          Purvis Heights Properties, L.P.        37.25            61.75
          Queen Lane Investors                   50.50            48.50

Many of the  Local  Partnerships  receive  rental  subsidy  payments,  including
payments  under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and  Community  Development
Act of 1974 ("Section 8") (see  descriptions of subsidies on pages 7 and 8). The
subsidy  agreements  expire at various  times  during  and after the  Compliance
Periods of the Local  Partnerships.  The United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development ("HUD") has issued notices which implement provisions to renew
certain  project  based  Section 8 contracts  expiring  during HUD's fiscal year
1997,  where requested by an owner, for an additional one year term generally at
or  below  current  rent  levels,  subject  to  certain  guidelines.  HUD has an
additional  program which, in general,  provides for restructuring  rents and/or
mortgages where rents may be adjusted to market levels and mortgage terms may be
adjusted  based on the  reduction in rents,  although  there may be instances in
which  only  rents,  but not  mortgages,  are  restructured.  Registrant  cannot
reasonably predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget negotiations,
the outcome of which  could  result in a reduction  in funds  available  for the
various federal and state administered  housing programs including the Section 8
program. Such changes could adversely affect the future net operating income and
debt structure of any or all Local Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy
or similar subsidies.  Six Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts,  which cover
certain  rental units,  are scheduled to expire in 1997,  three of which expired
during 1996 and were extended for one year.

           (a) Section 8 of Title II of the  Housing and  Community  Development
               Act of 1974  allows  qualified  low-income  tenants to pay thirty
               percent of their monthly  income as rent with the balance paid by
               the federal government.

           (b) King  County  Housing  Authority  provided  an  interest  subsidy
               through  issuance of tax exempt  bonds which  provided  first and
               second mortgage loans for the acquisition and  rehabilitation  of
               the complex.

           (c)  The Local  Partnership's  debt  structure  includes a
                principal or interest payment subsidy.

               Rental Assistance Program allows qualified  low-income tenants to
               receive rental subsidies.

           (e) The Michigan State Housing Development  Authority allows tenants,
               who would  otherwise  pay more than 40% of their  income for rent
               and utilities, to receive rental subsidies.

           (f) The  City of  Philadelphia  Housing  Authority  allows  qualified
               low-income tenants to receive rental certificates.

        (2)    The capital contribution reflects Registrant's obligation only.

        (3)    The complex also  qualifies for the historic  rehabilitation  tax

               Code of 1986.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Littleton Avenue Community Village,  L.P. (the "Littleton Local Partnership") is
a  defendant  in a  lawsuit  resulting  from  an  accident  in 1989  during  the
construction  of the  complex  owned  by the  Littleton  Local  Partnership.  In
November 1995 the Littleton Local  Partnership and one  co-defendant  were found
liable in the lawsuit,  of which the  Littleton  Local  Partnership's  potential
liability  is  approximately  $300,000.  The  Littleton  Local  Partnership  has
appealed  the  result  of  the  trial  and  has  filed  a  lawsuit  against  the
construction  period insurance  companies,  which were not  co-defendants in the
lawsuit.  Although the local general partner of the Littleton Local  Partnership
expects the incident to be covered by insurance,  it has agreed to indemnify the
Littleton  Local  Partnership  and has  established  an escrow of  approximately
$325,000 from development  proceeds in the event the Littleton Local Partnership
is  unsuccessful  in its appeal and its action against the  construction  period
insurance companies.

The first  mortgage of Ann Ell Apartments  Associates,  Ltd. (the "Ann Ell Local
Partnership")  has been declared in default due to insufficient  deposits to the
replacement  reserve  and the lender has  alleged  certain  other  incidents  of
default including, among other things, inadequate funding of real estate tax and
insurance  escrows and failure to procure  certain minimum  insurance  coverage,
resulting in the lender  filing a Complaint to Foreclose  Mortgage And For Other
Relief and filing an Entry Of A Final  Judgment Of  Foreclosure in Circuit Court
for Dade County,  Florida on January 31, 1997. The local general  partner of the
Ann Ell Local Partnership  reports that the Ann Ell Local  Partnership  incurred
costs for capital improvements and unscheduled  maintenance which were in excess
of the  replacement  reserve  funding  requirement  and further reports that the
other  incidents have been wrongly  alleged and has requested a meeting with the
lender to discuss the resolution of this matter.  Registrant has taken action to
replace the local general partner and the management  agent of the Ann Ell Local
Partnership.

Registrant is not aware of any other material legal proceedings.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters  submitted to a vote of the limited partners of Registrant
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

                                             PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity
        and Related Security Holder Matters

Market Information and Holders

There is no established public trading market for Registrant's  Units. There are
provisions  in the Amended and  Restated  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership  of
Registrant  which are intended to prevent the development of a public  secondary
market.  Accordingly,  accurate  information as to the market value of a Unit at
any given date is not available. Since November 1992, Merrill Lynch has provided
its clients who wish to buy or sell partnership units with a limited partnership
secondary  service   available  through  Merrill  Lynch's  Limited   Partnership
Secondary  Transaction  Department.  The number of owners of Units as of May 20,
1997 was 3,457, holding 55,746 Units.

Beginning  with the December  1994  Merrill  Lynch  client  account  statements,
Merrill Lynch  implemented  new  guidelines  for providing  estimated  values of
limited  partnerships  and other direct  investments  reported on client account
statements.  As a  result,  Merrill  Lynch no  longer  reports  general  partner
estimates  of  limited  partnership  net  asset  value  on  its  client  account
statements,  although Registrant may continue to provide its estimate of limited
partnership value to Unit holders. Pursuant to the guidelines,  estimated values
for limited  partnership  interests  originally  sold by Merrill  Lynch (such as
Registrant's  Units)  will be  provided  two times per year to Merrill  Lynch by
independent  valuation  services.  These  estimated  values  will  be  based  on
financial and other information available to the independent services (1) on the
prior August 15th for  reporting  on December  year-end  and  subsequent  client
account   statements  through  the  following  May's  month-end  client  account
statements  and (2) on the  prior  March  31st  for  reporting  on June  through
November  month-end  client account  statements of the same year.  Merrill Lynch
clients may contact their Merrill Lynch  Financial  Consultants or telephone the
number  provided  to them on  their  account  statements  to  obtain  a  general
description of the  methodology  used by the independent  valuation  services to
determine  their  estimates  of value.  In addition,  Registrant  may provide an
estimate  of  limited  partnership  value to Unit  holders  from time to time in
Registrant's  reports to limited partners.  The estimated values provided by the
independent services and Registrant, which may differ, are not market values and
Unit holders may not be able to sell their Units or realize either amount upon a
sale of their Units.  In addition,  Unit holders may not realize such  estimated
values upon the liquidation of Registrant's assets over its remaining life.

Distributions

Registrant owns a limited  partnership  interest in Local  Partnerships that are
the owners of Properties which are leveraged and receive  government  assistance
in various forms of rental and debt service  subsidies.  The distribution of any
cash flow generated by the Local  Partnerships may be restricted,  as determined
by each Local  Partnership's  financing  and  subsidy  agreements.  Accordingly,
Registrant  does not  anticipate  that it will provide  significant  annual cash
distributions to its partners.  There were no cash distributions to the partners
during the years ended March 30, 1997 and 1996.

Low-income Tax Credits and Historic  Rehabilitation Tax Credits  (together,  the
"Tax  Credits"),  which  are  subject  to  various  limitations,  may be used by
investors to offset  federal  income tax  liabilities.  The Tax Credits per Unit
generated by Registrant and allocated to the limited  partners for the tax years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the  cumulative Tax Credits  allocated from
inception through December 31, 1996 are as follows:

      </TABLE>

Notwithstanding future circumstances which may give rise to recapture or loss of
future benefits (see Part I, Item 2 - Properties, herein), Registrant expects to
generate  total  Tax  Credits  from   investments  in  Local   Partnerships   of
approximately $1,500 per Unit through December 31, 2001.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Registrant registered 100,000 units of limited partnership interest ("Units") at
$1,000 per Unit with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the  "Commission")
and on May 9, 1989, the  Commission  declared  effective  Amendment No. 2 to the
Registration  Statement  on Form  S-11.  Registrant  admitted  limited  partners
between June 28, 1989 and  September 22, 1989 in three  closings with  aggregate
limited partners' capital contributions amounting to $55,746,000.

Registrant acquired fifty limited partnership  interests (the "Local Partnership
Interests") in partnerships  (the "Local  Partnership" or "Local  Partnerships")
representing  capital  contributions  in the  amount of  $45,692,662.  The Local
Partnerships own low-income multifamily residential complexes (the "Property" or
"Properties") which qualify for the low-income tax credit established by Section
42 of the Tax  Reform  Act of 1986  (the  "Low-income  Tax  Credit");  one Local
Partnership owns a Property which also qualifies for the historic rehabilitation
tax credit in  accordance  with Section  48(g) of the  Internal  Revenue Code of
1986. The required holding period of each Property, in order to avoid Low-income
Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years from the year in which the Low-income Tax
Credits commence on the last building of the Property (the "Compliance Period").
The investment in Local Partnerships are highly illiquid.

From the closing of Units,  Registrant  established a working  capital  reserve.
Registrant  is  not  expected  to  have  access  to  any  source  of  financing.
Accordingly, if unforeseen contingencies arise that cause a Local Partnership to
require additional capital,  in addition to that contributed by Registrant,  the
source of such capital  needs may be obtained from (i) limited  working  capital
reserves of  Registrant  (which may include  distributions  received  from Local
Partnerships), (ii) debt financing at the Local Partnership level (which may not
be available) or (iii) additional equity contributions of the general partner of
a Local  Partnership  (the "Local  General  Partner").  In  addition,  the Local
Partnerships  are generally  expected to maintain  escrow  reserves over time in
addition to the reserves  maintained  by  Registrant.  There can be no assurance
that any of these  sources  would be readily  available  to provide for possible
additional  capital  requirements or be sufficient to remedy any such unforeseen
contingencies.

As of March 30, 1997, Registrant's working capital is comprised of cash and cash
equivalents  of  $674,160,   investments  in  corporate   bonds  of  $3,068,937,
investments  in  U.S.  Treasury  bonds  of  $402,845  and  investments  in  U.S.
government  agency bonds of $679,696.  Registrant  acquired such  investments in
bonds with the intention of utilizing  proceeds generated by such investments in
bonds to meet its annual  obligations.  Future sources of Registrant's funds are
expected  primarily  from  interest  earned on  investments  of working  capital
reserves, retired investments in bonds and limited cash distributions from Local
Partnerships.


Item 7. Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
        Results of Operations (continued)


During the year ended March 30, 1997,  Registrant  received  cash from  interest
earnings and  distributions  from the Local  Partnerships  and utilized cash for
operating expenses. In addition,  Registrant received $200,000 from the maturity
of  investments in bonds.  Cash and cash  equivalents  and  investments in bonds
available-for-sale decreased, in the aggregate, by approximately $190,000 during
the year ended March 30, 1997,  which decrease  includes a net  unrealized  loss
recorded on investments in bonds of approximately  $114,000, the amortization of
net premium on investments in bonds of  approximately  $51,000 and the accretion
of zero coupon bonds of approximately  $39,000.  During the year ended March 30,
1997, the investment in Local Partnerships decreased as a result of Registrant's
equity in the Local  Partnerships' net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996
of  $5,180,297  and cash  distributions  received  from  Local  Partnerships  of
$117,999.

The Properties are principally  comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income
multifamily  residential  complexes  located  throughout  the United  States and
Puerto Rico. The rents of the  Properties,  many of which receive rental subsidy
payments,  including  payments  under  Section 8 of Title II of the  Housing and
Community  Development  Act of 1974 ("Section 8"), are subject to specific laws,
regulations  and  agreements  with  federal  and  state  agencies.  The  subsidy
agreements  expire at various times during and after the  Compliance  Periods of
the Local  Partnerships.  The United  States  Department  of  Housing  and Urban
Development  ("HUD") has issued  notices  which  implement  provisions  to renew
certain  project  based  Section 8 contracts  expiring  during HUD's fiscal year
1997,  where requested by an owner, for an additional one year term generally at
or  below  current  rent  levels,  subject  to  certain  guidelines.  HUD has an
additional  program which, in general,  provides for restructuring  rents and/or
mortgages where rents may be adjusted to market levels and mortgage terms may be
adjusted  based on the  reduction in rents,  although  there may be instances in
which  only  rents,  but not  mortgages,  are  restructured.  Registrant  cannot
reasonably predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget negotiations,
the outcome of which  could  result in a reduction  in funds  available  for the
various federal and state administered  housing programs including the Section 8
program. Such changes could adversely affect the future net operating income and
debt structure of any or all Local Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy
or similar subsidies.  Six Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts,  which cover
certain  rental units,  are scheduled to expire in 1997,  three of which expired
during 1996 and were extended for one year. In addition,  the Local Partnerships
have  various  financing  structures  which  include (i)  required  debt service
payments  ("Mandatory  Debt  Service") and (ii) debt service  payments which are
payable only from available cash flow subject to the terms and conditions of the
notes,  which may be subject to specific laws,  regulations  and agreements with
appropriate  federal  and  state  agencies   ("Non-Mandatory   Debt  Service  or
Interest").  During the year ended December 31, 1996,  revenue from  operations,
Local  General  Partner  advances  and reserves of the Local  Partnerships  have
generally  been  sufficient to cover the operating  expenses and Mandatory  Debt
Service.  Substantially all of the Local Partnerships are effectively  operating
at or near break even levels,  although certain Local  Partnerships'  accounting
information  reflects operating deficits that do not represent cash deficits due
to their mortgage and financing  structure and the required deferral of property
management  fees.  However,  as discussed  below,  certain  Local  Partnerships'
operating  information  indicates below break even operations  after taking into
account  their  mortgage and financing  structure  and the required  deferral of
property management fees.

The terms of the partnership  agreements of Christian Street Associates  Limited
Partnership (the "Christian Street Local  Partnership") and 2000-2100  Christian
Street Associates (the "2000 Christian Street Local  Partnership"),  which Local
Partnerships  have certain common general  partner  interests and a common first
mortgage  lender,  require the Local General  Partners to advance funds to cover
operating  deficits up to $182,500  (through  March 1996) and $130,000  (through
December  1996),  respectively,  and to  cause  the  management  agent  to defer
property  management  fees in order  to avoid a  default  under  the  respective
mortgages.  The properties have experienced ongoing operating deficits and as of
December  31, 1996,  the Local  General  Partners  have  advanced  approximately
$329,000 to the Christian Street Local Partnership and approximately $248,000 to
the 2000  Christian  Street Local  Partnership.  Pending an attempt to address a
potential loan  restructuring of the respective  mortgages with the lender,  the
Local  General  Partners  have  informed  Registrant  that they do not intend to
continue to voluntarily fund the operating deficits of the properties. The Local
General  Partners have further  informed  Registrant  that the Christian  Street
Local  Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership have not made
the  required  principal  and  interest  payments  under  their  first  mortgage
obligations  since December 1996 and that the lender has declared both mortgages
in  default.  The Local  General  Partners  have  approached  the lender and are
currently in the process of  negotiating  a workout,  but the lender has clearly
indicated  that in  connection  with any  proposed  workout,  the Local  General
Partners  would be  responsible  for funding a portion of any remaining  deficit
after taking into account the benefits of the workout. Such amounts would likely
be  significant.  There  can be no  assurance  that  any  such  workout  will be
achieved.  The Christian Street Local  Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street
Local Partnership  incurred  operating  deficits for the year ended December 31,
1996 of approximately $60,000 and $54,000,  respectively  (exclusive of property
management fees of approximately $23,000 and $18,000, respectively). Of



Item 7. Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and 
        Results of Operations (continued)


Registrant's  total annual  Low-income Tax Credits,  approximately 5% and 3% are
allocated  from the Christian  Street Local  Partnership  and the 2000 Christian
Street Local Partnership, respectively.

Due to continuing  operating  deficits and the  uncertainty of future  operating
income of the Christian Street and 2000 Christian Street Local Partnerships, the
combined  financial  statements  of the Local  Partnerships  for the year  ended
December 31, 1996 include a loss from  impairment of long-lived  assets totaling
$7,314,852, which represents an adjustment of the real property of the Christian
Street  and  2000  Christian   Street  Local   Partnerships  of  $3,986,977  and
$3,327,875,  respectively,  based on  estimates  of expected  future cash flows.
Registrant   recorded   additional   equity  in  loss  of  investment  in  Local
Partnerships  of $1,371,790 as a result of such  impairment.  Although such loss
results in a zero investment  balance in the Christian Street and 2000 Christian
Street Local  Partnerships,  the remaining  Low-income Tax Credits available are
approximately  $12 per Unit per annum  collectively  for January 1, 1997 through
December 31, 2000.

During the year ended December 31, 1996, Forest Village Housing Partnership (the
"Forest   Village  Local   Partnership")   incurred  an  operating   deficit  of
approximately $4,000. There is no operating deficit guarantee in connection with
the Forest Village Local Partnership. All required payments on the mortgages and
real estate taxes are current.  Of  Registrant's  total  annual  Low-income  Tax
Credits,   approximately   1%  is  allocated   from  the  Forest  Village  Local
Partnership.

The first  mortgage of Ann Ell Apartments  Associates,  Ltd. (the "Ann Ell Local
Partnership")  has been declared in default due to insufficient  deposits to the
replacement  reserve  and the lender has  alleged  certain  other  incidents  of
default including, among other things, inadequate funding of real estate tax and
insurance  escrows and failure to procure  certain minimum  insurance  coverage,
resulting  in the lender  filing a  foreclosure  action and a motion for summary
judgment.  The Local General  Partner of the Ann Ell Local  Partnership  reports
that the Ann Ell Local Partnership  incurred costs for capital  improvements and
unscheduled  maintenance which were in excess of the replacement reserve funding
requirement  and further  reports  that the other  incidents  have been  wrongly
alleged and has requested a meeting with the lender to discuss the resolution of
this matter.  Registrant  has taken action to replace the Local General  Partner
and the management agent of the Ann Ell Local Partnership.

Littleton Avenue Community Village,  L.P. (the "Littleton Local Partnership") is
a  defendant  in a  lawsuit  resulting  from  an  accident  in 1989  during  the
construction  of the  complex  owned  by the  Littleton  Local  Partnership.  In
November 1995 the Littleton Local  Partnership and one  co-defendant  were found
liable in the lawsuit,  of which the  Littleton  Local  Partnership's  potential
liability  is  approximately  $300,000.  The  Littleton  Local  Partnership  has
appealed  the  result  of  the  trial  and  has  filed  a  lawsuit  against  the
construction  period insurance  companies,  which were not  co-defendants in the
lawsuit.  Although the Local General Partner of the Littleton Local  Partnership
expects the incident to be covered by insurance,  it has agreed to indemnify the
Littleton  Local  Partnership  and has  established  an escrow of  approximately
$325,000 from development  proceeds in the event the Littleton Local Partnership
is  unsuccessful  in its appeal and its action against the  construction  period
insurance companies.

Results of Operations

Registrant's  operating  results are dependent upon the operating results of the
Local  Partnerships and are  significantly  impacted by the Local  Partnerships'
policies. In addition, the operating results herein are not necessarily the same
for tax reporting.  Registrant accounts for its investment in Local Partnerships
in accordance  with the equity method of accounting,  under which the investment
is  carried  at  cost  and is  adjusted  for  Registrant's  share  of the  Local
Partnership's  results of  operations  and by any cash  distributions  received.
Equity in loss of each investment in Local  Partnership  allocated to Registrant
is recognized  to the extent of  Registrant's  investment  balance in each Local
Partnership.  Any equity in loss in excess of Registrant's investment balance in
a Local  Partnership is allocated to other partners'  capital in each such Local
Partnership. As a result, the equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships
is expected to decrease as  Registrant's  investment  balances in the respective
Local Partnerships become zero.  However,  the combined statements of operations
of  the  Local  Partnerships  reflected  in  Note  5 to  Registrant's  financial
statements include the operating results of all Local  Partnerships,  regardless
of Registrant's investment balances.

Cumulative  losses  and cash  distributions  in  excess of  investment  in Local
Partnerships  may result  from a variety  of  circumstances,  including  a Local
Partnership's  accounting  policies,   subsidy  structure,  debt  structure  and
operating deficits,



<PAGE>


Item 7. Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and 
        Results of Operations (continued)



among other things.  Accordingly,  cumulative  losses and cash  distributions in
excess of the investment  are not  necessarily  indicative of adverse  operating
results of a Local Partnership. See discussion above under Capital Resources and
Liquidity  regarding  certain  Local  Partnerships   currently  operating  below
economic break even levels.

Year Ended March 30, 1997

For the year ended March 30, 1997,  Registrant  had a net loss of  approximately
$5,507,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships
of  approximately  $5,180,000  (which  includes  $1,371,790  from  the  recorded
impairment in connection  with the Christian  Street and 2000  Christian  Street
Local  Partnerships)  for the year ended  December 31, 1996.  Nonrecognition  of
losses in excess of Registrant's investment in certain Local Partnerships during
the year was approximately $6,302,000. Registrant's loss from operations for the
year ended March 30, 1997 of approximately $327,000 was attributable to interest
revenue  of   approximately   $360,000,   exceeded  by  operating   expenses  of
approximately  $687,000.  Interest  revenue  for future  periods is  expected to
decline  as  investments  in bonds  mature  and are  utilized  for  Registrant's
operating expenses.

The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $11,942,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 was  attributable to rental and other revenue of approximately
$20,591,000,  exceeded by  operating  and  interest  expenses  of  approximately
$19,103,000,  approximately $6,115,000 of depreciation and amortization expenses
and approximately  $7,315,000 incurred by the Christian Street Local Partnership
and the 2000 Christian Street Local  Partnership in connection with the recorded
adjustment of the  properties to their  estimated  fair market value.  The Local
Partnerships'  net loss for the year ended  December 31, 1996  includes  accrued
Non-Mandatory  Interest charges of  approximately  $695,000 and does not include
principal amortization on mortgage loans payable of approximately $1,045,000.

Year Ended March 30, 1996

For the year ended March 30, 1996,  Registrant  had a net loss of  approximately
$3,837,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships
of approximately $3,514,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Nonrecognition
of losses in excess of  Registrant's  investment in certain  Local  Partnerships
during the year was  approximately  $342,000.  Registrant's loss from operations
for the year ended March 30, 1996 of approximately  $323,000 was attributable to
interest revenue of approximately  $360,000,  exceeded by operating  expenses of
approximately $683,000.

The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately  $4,159,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 was  attributable to rental and other revenue of approximately
$20,163,000,  exceeded by  operating  and  interest  expenses  of  approximately
$18,588,000  and  approximately  $5,734,000  of  depreciation  and  amortization
expenses.  The Local Partnerships' net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995
includes accrued  Non-Mandatory  Interest charges of approximately  $690,000 and
does  not  include   principal   amortization   on  mortgage  loans  payable  of
approximately $942,000.

Year Ended March 30, 1995

For the year ended March 30, 1995,  Registrant  had a net loss of  approximately
$4,266,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships
of approximately $3,914,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994. Nonrecognition
of losses in excess of  Registrant's  investment in certain  Local  Partnerships
during the year was  approximately  $317,000.  Registrant's loss from operations
for the year ended March 30, 1995 of approximately  $352,000 was attributable to
interest  revenue  of  approximately   $333,000  and  other  income  from  Local
Partnerships  of  approximately  $3,000,   exceeded  by  operating  expenses  of
approximately  $684,000 and amortization of organization  costs of approximately
$4,000. Equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships includes expenditures
of $105,644  incurred by  Registrant in  connection  with its  investment in the
Forest Village Local Partnership.

The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately  $4,522,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1994 was  attributable to rental and other revenue of approximately
$19,286,000,  exceeded by  operating  and  interest  expenses  of  approximately
$18,060,000  and  approximately  $5,748,000  of  depreciation  and  amortization
expenses.  The Local Partnerships' net loss for the year ended December 31, 1994
includes accrued  Non-Mandatory  Interest charges of approximately  $700,000 and
does  not  include   principal   amortization   on  mortgage  loans  payable  of
approximately $871,000.

Item 7. Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
        Results of Operations (continued)


Year Ended March 30, 1997 v. 1996

Registrant's operations for the year ended March 30, 1997 resulted in a net loss
of  approximately  $5,507,000  as  compared  to  a  net  loss  of  approximately
$3,837,000  for the year  ended  March 30,  1996.  The  increase  in net loss is
primarily  attributable  to an increase in the equity in loss of  investment  in
Local Partnerships of approximately $1,666,000, which is primarily the result of
the  adjustment to reduce the Christian  Street Local  Partnership  and the 2000
Christian Street Local Partnership  properties to their estimated fair value and
an increase in depreciation  expense of two Local  Partnerships  associated with
payments in connection with acquisition notes which were originally not recorded
due to  the  uncertainty  of  ultimate  repayment  at the  time  the  respective
Properties  were  placed in  service,  partially  offset by an  increase  in the
nonrecognition  of  losses  in  excess  of  Registrant's   investment  in  Local
Partnerships of approximately $5,960,000 in accordance with the equity method of
accounting.

Year Ended March 30, 1996 v. 1995

Registrant's operations for the year ended March 30, 1996 resulted in a net loss
of  approximately  $3,837,000  as  compared  to  a  net  loss  of  approximately
$4,266,000  for the year  ended  March 30,  1995.  The  decrease  in net loss is
primarily  attributable  to a decrease  in the equity in loss of  investment  in
Local Partnerships of approximately $400,000. The decrease in the equity in loss
of  investment  in Local  Partnerships  is primarily  the result of the improved
results  of  operations  of the Local  Partnerships,  as a whole.  In  addition,
Registrant  did not incur  expenditures  in connection  with the Forest  Village
Local Partnership during the year ended March 30, 1996.

Inflation

Inflation  is not  expected to have a material  adverse  impact on  Registrant's
operations during its period of ownership of the Local Partnership Interests.

Recent Accounting Statements Not Yet Adopted

In February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  
Statement  of  Financial Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 128,  "Earnings 
per Share" and SFAS No. 129,  "Disclosure  of Information  about Capital 
Structure." SFAS No. 128 provides  accounting and reporting  standards
for the amount of  earnings  per share.  SFAS No. 129  requires  the disclosure
in summary  form within the financial  statements of the pertinent rights and 
privileges of the various  securities outstanding.  SFAS No. 128 and 
SFAS No. 129 are effective  for fiscal years ending after  December 15, 1997
and earlier application is not permitted.

The  implementation  of SFAS  No.  128  and  SFAS  No.  129 is not  expected  to
materially  impact  Registrant's   financial   statements  because  Registrant's
earnings  per share  would not be  significantly  affected  and the  disclosures
regarding  the  capital  structure  in the  financial  statements  would  not be
significantly changed.

To the Partners
American Tax Credit Properties II L.P.


        We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of American Tax Credit
Properties II L.P. as of March 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related  statements of
operations, changes in partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended March 30, 1997.  These financial  statements are
the  responsibility of the partnership's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of American Tax Credit
Properties  II L.P.  as of March  30,  1997 and  1996,  and the  results  of its
operations  and its cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended
March 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  MARCH 30, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



1.    Organization, Purpose and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      American Tax Credit Properties II L.P. (the  "Partnership")  was formed on
      October  26,  1988  and the  Certificate  of  Limited  Partnership  of the
      Partnership   was  filed  under  the  Delaware   Revised  Uniform  Limited
      Partnership  Act. There was no operating  activity until  admission of the
      limited  partners on June 28, 1989. The  Partnership  was formed to invest
      primarily in leveraged low-income  multifamily  residential complexes (the
      "Property" or  "Properties")  which qualify for the  low-income tax credit
      established  by Section 42 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the  "Low-income
      Tax  Credit"),  through  the  acquisition  of limited  partnership  equity
      interests (the "Local Partnership  Interests") in partnerships (the "Local
      Partnership"  or  "Local   Partnerships")  that  are  the  owners  of  the
      Properties.  The  Partnership  has  invested  in one  Property  which also
      qualifies for the historic  rehabilitation  tax credit in accordance  with
      Section  48(g) of the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986.  Richman Tax Credit
      Properties II L.P. (the "General  Partner") was formed on October 26, 1988
      to act as the sole general partner of the Partnership. contributions. Such
      amounts were recorded as a liability and an offset to interest revenue.

      Basis of Accounting and Fiscal Year

      The  Partnership's   records  are  maintained  on  the  accrual  basis  of
      accounting  for both financial  reporting and tax purposes.  For financial
      reporting  purposes,  the Partnership's  fiscal year ends March 30 and its
      quarterly  periods end June 29,  September  29 and  December 30. The Local
      Partnerships have a calendar year for financial  reporting  purposes.  The
      Partnership  and the  Local  Partnerships  each have a  calendar  year for
      income tax purposes.

      The  Partnership  accounts for its  investment  in Local  Partnerships  in
      accordance  with the equity method of accounting (see Note 5), under which
      the  investment is carried at cost which  includes  capital  contributions
      payable,  and is  adjusted  for  the  Partnership's  share  of  the  Local
      Partnership's   results  of  operations  and  by  any  cash  distributions
      received. Equity in loss of each investment in Local Partnership allocated
      to the  Partnership  is  recognized  to the  extent  of the  Partnership's
      investment balance in each Local Partnership. Any equity in loss in excess
      of  the  Partnership's  investment  balance  in  a  Local  Partnership  is
      allocated  to other  partners'  capital  in each such  Local  Partnership.
      Previously  unrecognized  equity  in  loss  of any  Local  Partnership  is
      recognized  in the fiscal year in which equity in income is earned by such
      Local Partnership. Distributions received subsequent to the elimination of
      an investment balance for any such Local Partnership are recorded as other
      income from Local Partnerships.

      Use of Estimates

      The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  generally
      accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date  of the
      financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenue and  expenses
      during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
      estimates.

      Adoption of Accounting Standard

      On  March  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
      Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 121,  "Accounting  for  Impairment  of
      Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No.
      121 requires that long-lived assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles
      held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment  whenever  events or
      changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
      not be recoverable (see Note 5).

1.    Organization, Purpose and Summary of Significant Accounting 
      Policies (continued)

      Cash and Cash Equivalents

      For purposes of the statements of cash flows,  the  Partnership  considers
      all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
      months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash and
      cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value.

      Investments in Bonds Available-For-Sale

      Investments   in  bonds   classified   as   available-for-sale   represent
      investments  in  bonds  that  the  Partnership  intends  to  hold  for  an
      indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to
      sell an  investment  classified  as  available-for-sale  would be based on
      various  factors,  including  significant  movements in interest rates and
      liquidity needs.  Investments in bonds  available-for-sale  are carried at
      estimated  fair value and  unrealized  gains or losses are  reported  as a
      separate component of partners' equity (deficit).

      Premium/Discount on Investments

      Premiums and  discounts on  investments  in bonds  available-for-sale  are
      amortized  (accreted) using the straight-line  method over the life of the
      investment.   Amortized  premiums  offset  interest  revenue,   while  the
      accretion  of  discounts  and zero coupon  bonds are  included in interest
      revenue.  Unamortized  premiums and  unaccreted  discounts of  investments
      redeemed prior to maturity are offset  against,  or included in,  interest
      revenue.

      Gain (Loss) on Redemption or Sale of Investments

      Realized  gain  (loss)  on  redemption  or sale of  investments  in  bonds
      available-for-sale are included in, or offset against, interest revenue on
      the basis of the adjusted  cost of each  specific  investment  redeemed or
      sold.

      Organization Costs

      Organization  costs were amortized on a straight-line  basis over five (5)
      years;  such costs became fully amortized  during the year ended March 30,
      1995.

      Interest on Capital Contributions Payable to Local Partnerships

      Pursuant  to  agreements  with  certain  Local  Partnerships,  interest is
      accrued on certain  installments  of capital  contributions.  Such amounts
      were recorded as a liability and an offset to interest revenue.

      Income Taxes

      No provision for income taxes has been made because all income, losses and
      tax  credits  are  allocated  to  the  partners  for  inclusion  in  their
      respective tax returns.  In accordance with SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting for
      Income Taxes," the Partnership has included in Note 7 certain  disclosures
      related to differences in the book and tax bases of accounting.

      Reclassifications

      Certain  reclassifications  of  amounts  have been made to  conform to the
      current year presentation.

2.    Capital Contributions

      On June 14, 1989,  the  Partnership  commenced  the offering of units (the
      "Units") through Merrill Lynch,  Pierce,  Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the
      "Selling Agent").  On June 28, 1989, July 31, 1989 and September 22, 1989,
      under  the  terms  of  the  Amended  and  Restated  Agreement  of  Limited
      Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"),  the General
      Partner admitted limited partners to the Partnership in three closings. At
      these  closings,  subscriptions  for a total of 55,746 Units  representing
      $55,746,000 in limited partners' capital  contributions were accepted.  In
      connection  with  the  offering  of  Units,   the   Partnership   incurred
      registration  costs of  $6,534,064,  of which $75,000 was  capitalized  as
      organization  costs and  $6,459,064  was charged to the limited  partners'
      equity. The Partnership  received a capital  contribution of $100 from the
      General Partner.

      Net loss is  allocated  99% to the limited  partners and 1% to the General
      Partner in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.


3.    Cash and Cash Equivalents

      As of March  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  has  $674,160  in cash and cash
      equivalents  which are  deposited  in  interest-bearing  accounts  with an
      institution  which  is  not  insured  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
      Corporation.


4.    Investments in Bonds Available-For-Sale

      The  Partnership  carries its  investments in bonds as  available-for-sale
      because such  investments  are used to facilitate and provide  flexibility
      for  the  Partnership's   obligations,   including  resolving   unforeseen
      contingencies  which may arise in connection with the Local  Partnerships.
      Investments in bonds  available-for-sale are reflected in the accompanying
      balance sheets at estimated fair value.

      The  Properties  are  principally  comprised of  subsidized  and leveraged
      low-income multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United
      States and Puerto Rico. The required  holding period of each Property,  in
      order to avoid Low-income Tax Credit recapture,  is fifteen years from the
      year in which the Low-income Tax Credits  commence on the last building of
      the Property (the  "Compliance  Period").  The rents of the Properties are
      controlled by federal and state agencies  pursuant to applicable  laws and
      regulations  (see Note 8).  Under  the  terms of each of the  fifty  Local
      Partnership's   partnership  agreements,   the  Partnership  made  capital
      contributions in the aggregate  amount of $45,692,662.  As of December 31,
      1996,  the Local  Partnerships  have  outstanding  mortgage  loans payable
      totaling  approximately  $93,337,000 and accrued  interest payable on such
      loans  totaling  approximately  $3,948,000,  which are secured by security
      interests  and liens common to mortgage  loans on the Local  Partnerships'
      real property and other assets.

      Equity in loss of  investment  in Local  Partnerships  is  limited  to the
      Partnership's investment balance in each Local Partnership;  any excess is
      applied to other partners' capital in any such Local Partnership (see Note
      1). The amount of such excess losses  applied to other  partners'  capital
      was  $6,301,666,  $341,567 and  $316,791 for the years ended  December 31,
      1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, as reflected in the combined statements
      of operations of the Local Partnerships reflected herein Note 5.

      The combined  balance sheets of the Local  Partnerships as of December 31,
      1996 and 1995 and the  combined  statements  of  operations  of the  Local
      Partnerships  for the years ended  December  31,  1996,  1995 and 1994 are
      reflected on pages 28 and 29, respectively.

     The  terms  of  the  partnership   agreements  of  Christian  Street  Local
     Partnership  and 2000  Christian  Street  Local  Partnership,  which  Local
     Partnerships  have certain  common general  partner  interests and a common
     first mortgage lender,  require the local general partners to advance funds
     to cover  operating  deficits  up to  $182,500  (through  March  1996)  and
     $130,000 (through December 1996), respectively, and to cause the management
     agent to defer property  management  fees in order to avoid a default under
     the respective mortgages. The properties have experienced ongoing operating
     deficits and as of December  31,  1996,  the local  general  partners  have
     advanced  approximately  $329,000 to the Christian Street Local Partnership
     and approximately  $248,000 to the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership.

     informed the Partnership that they do not intend to continue to voluntarily
     fund the operating  deficits of the properties.  The local general partners
     have further informed the Partnership that the

5.   Investment in Local Partnerships (continued)

     Christian  Street Local  Partnership  and the 2000  Christian  Street Local
     Partnership  have not made the required  principal  and  interest  payments
     under their first  mortgage  obligations  since  December 1996 and that the
     lender has declared both mortgages in default.  The Christian  Street Local
     Partnership  and the  2000  Christian  Street  Local  Partnership  incurred
     operating  deficits for the year ended  December 31, 1996 of  approximately
     $60,000 and $54,000, respectively (exclusive of property management fees of
     approximately $23,000 and $18,000, respectively).

     Due  to  continuing  operating  deficits  and  the  uncertainty  of  future
     operating  income of the Christian  Street and 2000 Christian  Street Local
     Partnerships,  the combined financial  statements of the Local Partnerships
     for the year ended  December  31, 1996  include a loss from  impairment  of
     long-lived  assets totaling  $7,314,852,  which represents an adjustment of
     the real property of the Christian  Street and 2000 Christian  Street Local
     Partnerships of $3,986,977 and $3,327,875, respectively, based on estimates
     of expected future cash flows. The Partnership  recorded  additional equity
     in loss of  investment in Local  Partnerships  of $1,371,790 as a result of
     such impairment.  There has been no reduction in the future  Low-income Tax
     Credits anticipated to be generated by the properties.

     The  first  mortgage  of Ann Ell Local  Partnership  has been  declared  in
     default due to  insufficient  deposits to the  replacement  reserve and the
     lender has alleged  certain  other  incidents of default  including,  among
     other things,  inadequate  funding of real estate tax and insurance escrows
     and failure to procure certain minimum insurance coverage, resulting in the
     lender filing a foreclosure  action and a motion for summary judgment.  The
     local general partner of the Ann Ell Local Partnership reports that the Ann
     Ell  Local  Partnership   incurred  costs  for  capital   improvements  and
     unscheduled  maintenance  which were in excess of the  replacement  reserve
     funding  requirement and further reports that the other incidents have been
     wrongly  alleged and has requested a meeting with the lender to discuss the
     resolution of this matter.  The Partnership has taken action to replace the
     local  general  partner  and the  management  agent  of the  Ann Ell  Local
     Partnership.

8.    Commitments and Contingencies

      Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement,  the Partnership is required to pay
      the General  Partner an annual  management fee  ("Management  Fee") and an
      annual  additional  management fee  ("Additional  Management Fee") for its
      services  in  connection  with  the  management  of  the  affairs  of  the
      Partnership,  subject to certain provisions of the Partnership  Agreement.
      The annual  Management Fee is equal to .14% of all proceeds as of December
      31 of any year, invested or committed for investment in Local Partnerships
      plus  all  debts  of the  Local  Partnerships  related  to the  Properties
      ("Invested Assets"). The Partnership incurred a Management Fee of $209,514
      for each of the three years ended March 30,  1997.  The annual  Additional
      Management  Fee is  equal  to .06% of  Invested  Assets.  The  Partnership
      incurred  an  Additional  Management  Fee of $89,793 for each of the three
      years ended March 30, 1997.  Such  amounts are  aggregated  and  reflected
      under  the  caption   management  fees  in  the   accompanying   financial
      statements.  Unpaid Management Fees in the amount of $486,224 and $426,440
      are  recorded as payable to general  partner in the  accompanying  balance
      sheets as of March 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

      In addition,  pursuant to the  Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership is
      required to pay ML Fund  Administrators  Inc., an affiliate of the Selling
      Agent, an annual  administration fee ("Administration  Fee") and an annual
      additional  administration fee ("Additional  Administration  Fee") for its
      administrative   services   provided  to  the   Partnership.   The  annual
      Administration  Fee is equal to .14% of Invested  Assets.  The Partnership
      incurred an  Administration  Fee of  $209,514  for each of the three years
      ended March 30, 1997. The annual Additional  Administration Fee is subject
      to certain provisions of the Partnership Agreement and is equal to .06% of
      Invested Assets. The Partnership incurred an Additional Administration Fee
      of $89,793 for each of the three years ended March 30, 1997.  Such amounts
      are aggregated and reflected under the caption  administration fees in the
      accompanying  financial  statements.  Unpaid  Administration  Fees  in the
      amount of $486,231  and  $426,437  are  included  in accounts  payable and
      accrued expenses in the  accompanying  balance sheets as of March 30, 1997
      and 1996, respectively.

      In connection with the Forest Village Local  Partnership,  the Partnership
      facilitated  the  purchase  of the first  mortgage  bonds  (the  "Series A
      Bonds") at par by a group of investors (the "Group").  Though no member of
      the Partnership is a participant of the Group, the individuals are closely
      associated with the General Partner. Notwithstanding the close association
      between  the General  Partner and the Group,  the Group has all the rights
      and  remedies  of the former  first  mortgagee.  In  connection  with this
      transaction,  on  November  12,  1993,  the  Partnership  entered  into  a
      Promissory  Note and Loan  Agreement  (the  "Note") with the Group for the
      purpose of assisting the Partnership by providing advances to it so it may
      help fund part of future  operating  deficits of the Forest  Village Local
      Partnership.  The rate of  interest  is 10.5% per  annum on the  principal
      balance  from time to time  outstanding.  In the event  that no balance is
      outstanding under this Note, it shall continue as an effective  instrument
      at the option of the Group,  to evidence  future  advances or  re-advances
      made by the  Group.  The  entire  outstanding  principal  balance  and all
      accrued and unpaid  interest  thereon  shall be due and payable in full on
      the  earliest  of the (i)  final  maturity  of the  Series A  Bonds,  (ii)
      prepayment  in full or default under the terms of the loan of the Series A
      bonds or (iii) the sale or other  disposition  of the Forest Village Local
      Partnership.  The Note is nonrecourse except to the extent that the sum of
      the  amounts   advanced  under  the  Note  and  amounts  received  by  the
      Partnership from the Forest Village Local Partnership exceeds amounts paid
      by  the   Partnership   in  connection   with  the  Forest  Village  Local
      Partnership.  As of  March  30,  1997 and  1996,  the  Partnership  has no
      outstanding  advance  due  under  the Note and has  incurred  no  interest
      charges for the years ended March 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

8.    Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

      The  rents  of the  Properties,  many  of  which  receive  rental  subsidy
      payments,  including  payments  under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing
      and  Community  Development  Act of 1974  ("Section  8"),  are  subject to
      specific laws, regulations and agreements with federal and state agencies.
      The  subsidy  agreements  expire at  various  times  during  and after the
      Compliance Periods of the Local Partnerships. The United States Department
      of  Housing  and  Urban  Development  ("HUD")  has  issued  notices  which
      implement  provisions to renew  certain  project based Section 8 contracts
      expiring during HUD's fiscal year 1997,  where requested by an owner,  for
      an  additional  one year term  generally at or below  current rent levels,
      subject to certain  guidelines.  HUD has an additional  program which,  in
      general, provides for restructuring rents and/or mortgages where rents may
      be adjusted to market levels and mortgage  terms may be adjusted  based on
      the  reduction  in rents,  although  there may be  instances in which only
      rents,  but  not  mortgages,  are  restructured.  The  Partnership  cannot
      reasonably  predict   legislative   initiatives  and  governmental  budget
      negotiations,  the outcome of which could  result in a reduction  in funds
      available for the various federal and state administered  housing programs
      including the Section 8 program.  Such changes could adversely  affect the
      future  net  operating  income  and  debt  structure  of any or all  Local
      Partnerships  currently  receiving such subsidy or similar subsidies.  Six
      Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts, which cover certain rental units,
      are scheduled to expire in 1997,  three of which  expired  during 1996 and
      were extended for one year.

9.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      The  following  disclosure  of  the  estimated  fair  value  of  financial
      instruments is made in accordance  with the  requirements of SFAS No. 107,
      "Disclosures  about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments."  The  estimated
      fair  value  amounts  have  been   determined   using   available   market
      information, assumptions, estimates and valuation methodologies.

      Cash and Cash Equivalents

      The carrying amount approximates fair value.

      Investments in Bonds Available-For-Sale

      Fair value is estimated  based on market quotes provided by an independent
      service as of the balance sheet dates.

      Interest Receivable

      The  carrying  amount  approximates  fair  value  due to the  terms of the
      underlying investments.

      Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and Payable to General Partner

      The carrying  amounts  approximate  fair value due to the payment terms in
      connection with the obligations.

      The estimated  fair values of the  Partnership's  financial  instruments
      as of March 30, 1997 and 1996 are disclosed elsewhere in the financial
      statements.
