PART I
Item 1. Business.
GENERAL
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 17, 1988.
The General Partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties III L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), and Liberty GP
III Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Liberty General Partner"). The general
partner of the Related General Partner is Related Credit Properties III Inc., a
Delaware corporation. On November 25, 1997, an affiliate of the Related General
Partner, purchased 100% of the stock of the Liberty General Partner (the
"Transfer"). In addition to the Transfer, by acquiring the stock of the Liberty
General Partner, an affiliate of the Related General Partner also acquired the
Liberty General Partner's general partner interest in Liberty Associates IV
L.P., the special limited partner of the Partnership. Pursuant to the
Partnership's Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the consent of the
limited partners was not required to approve the Transfer. In connection with
the Transfer, the Partnership paid to the Liberty General Partner the accrued
asset management fees owed to the Liberty General Partner in the aggregate
amount of $737,750.
On May 2, 1989, 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 March 30, 1990, (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 $139,101,500 of gross proceeds of the Offering from 9,082
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 ("Housing Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform
Act of 1986, some of which are eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax
credit ("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 or state housing
assistance. The Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership represents
from 27% to 98% of the Partnership's interests in the Local Partnership. As of
March 31, 2000, approximately $109,000,000 (not including acquisition fees) of
net proceeds have been invested in 62 Local Partnerships. The Partnership does
not anticipate making any additional investments. See Item 2, Properties, below.
Liberty Associates IV, L.P. ("Liberty Associates") is the Special Limited
Partner in all 62 Local Partnerships. Liberty Associates has certain rights and
obligations in its role as Special Limited Partner which permit this affiliate
of the registrant to exercise control over the management and policies of the
subsidiaries.
-2-
<PAGE>
The Partnership has been formed to invest primarily in low-income Apartment
Complexes that are eligible for the Housing Tax Credit enacted in the Tax Reform
Act of 1986. Some Apartment Complexes may also be eligible for Historic
Rehabilitation Tax Credits ("Historic Complexes"). The investment objectives of
the Partnership are to:
1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to substantial Housing Tax Credits over the
period of the Partnership's entitlement to claim such Tax Credits (for each
Property, generally 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")
with respect to each Apartment Complex.
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 the
Properties, current taxes on which are expected to be substantially deferred.
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
business income.
One of the Partnership's objectives is to entitle qualified BACs holders to
Housing Tax Credits over 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 (1)
the Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements , (2) there is a
decrease in the qualified basis of the Projects, or (3) 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 Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating Housing
Tax Credits; approximately $19,534,000, $19,584,000 and $19,632,000, during the
tax years 1999, 1998 and 1997 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.
Cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships have been relatively
immaterial. Management does not expect that the distributions received from the
Local Partnerships will be 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.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will achieve its investment
objectives.
Certain subsidiaries are subject to HUD restrictions which limit annual cash
distributions to partners and restrict the subsidiaries from selling or
otherwise liquidating their assets during the period that the agreement with HUD
is in existence, without HUD's approval.
-3-
<PAGE>
In order for certain subsidiaries to qualify for the Section 421A Program, and
the Inclusionary Zoning Program they are subject to certain requirements by
local authorities as to the level of rent that may be charged to tenants, the
tenants' incomes, the obligation to operate the property in accordance with rent
stabilization guidelines, and restrictions on the rate at which housing units
may be released from such guidelines.
Also, certain subsidiary partnerships obtain grants from local authorities to
fund construction costs of the properties and in order to qualify must maintain
the low-income nature of the property, among other provisions.
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can
also be affected by poor economic conditions generally; however, no more than
20% of the properties are located in any single state. There are also
substantial risks associated with owning properties receiving government
assistance, for example the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds
to enable 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 and to be acquired by the Partnership are subject to active
competition from similar properties in their respective vicinities. In addition,
various other limited partnerships may, in the future, be formed by the General
Partners and/or their affiliates to engage in businesses which may be
competitive with the Partnership.
EMPLOYEES
The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are performed
for the Partnership by its General Partners and their affiliates. The General
Partners receive compensation in connection with such activities as set forth in
Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the General Partners
and certain of their affiliates for expenses incurred in connection with the
performance by their employees of services for the Partnership in accordance
with the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership Agreement").
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership holds a 98% limited partnership interest in 61 Local
Partnerships and a 26.46% limited partnership interest in 1 Local Partnership
(the other 71.54% limited partnership interest is held by an affiliate of the
Partnership with the same management); together these 62 Local Partnerships own
66 apartment complexes. Set forth below is a schedule of these Local
Partnerships including certain information concerning their respective Apartment
Complexes (the "Local Partnership Schedule"). Further information concerning
these Local Partnerships and their Properties, including any encumbrances
affecting the properties, may be found in Item 14. Schedule III.

Longfellow Heights Apartments, L.P.
Kansas City, MO (104) March 1991 99 94 95 98 98
</TABLE>
(*) Consists of five apartment complexes located throughout Michigan.
Generally, the General Partners required in connection with the Partnership's
investments in Local Partnerships that the general partners of the Local
Partnerships ("Local General Partners") undertake an obligation to fund
operating deficits (up to a stated maximum amount) of the Local Partnership
during a limited period of time following rent stabilization ("Guarantee
Period"). In each case, the operating deficits have been funded by Operating
Loans which will not bear interest and will be repaid only out of 50% of
available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds. The
gross amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregate approximately
$18,700,000, of which approximately $17,300,000 had expired as of March 31,
2000. In cases where the General Partners deem it appropriate, the obligations
of a Local General Partner under the Operating Deficit and/or Rent-Up Guarantees
are secured by letters of credit and/or cash escrow deposits.
The Tax Credits are available for a ten-year period which commences when the
property is occupied by qualified tenants. However, the annual Tax Credit
available in the year in which the Apartment Complex was first occupied by
qualified tenants must be prorated based upon the months remaining in the year
after the Apartment Complex was placed in service. The amount of the annual Tax
Credit 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 was allocated Tax Credits only beginning in the
month following the month in which the Partnership acquired its interest. In
addition, Tax Credits allocated in any prior period may not be claimed by the
Partnership. The Partnership has also acquired Local Partnership Interests in
which some of the Local Partnerships owning historic complexes qualifies for the
Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit. The amount of the Historic Rehabilitation
Tax Credit is generally 20% of qualified rehabilitation expenditures and is
available in its entirety in the year the rehabilitated building is placed in
service or, under certain circumstances, in the year in which the rehabilitation
expenditure is made.
All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years and no
tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
Rent from commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies)
comprise less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Partnership. Maximum rents
for the residential units are determined annually by HUD and reflect
increases/decreases in consumer price indexes in various geographic areas.
Market conditions, however determine the amount of rent actually charged.
Management continuously reviews the physical state of the properties and
suggests to the respective Local General Partner budget improvements, which are
generally funded from cash flow from operations or release of replacement
reserve escrows.
Management annually reviews the insurance coverage of the properties and
believes such coverage is adequate.

<PAGE>
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.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
None.
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 27,820.3 Limited Partnership Interests, each
representing a $5,000 capital contribution to the Partnership, for aggregate
Gross Proceeds of $139,101,500. All of the issued and outstanding Limited
Partnership Interests have been issued to Liberty Credit Assignor III Inc. (the
"Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued 139,101.5 BACs to the
purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of $139,101,500. Each BAC
represents all of the economic and virtually all of the ownership rights
attributable to one-fifth of a Limited Partnership Interest held by the Assignor
Limited Partner. BACs may be converted into Limited Partnership Interests at no
cost to the holder (other than the payment of transfer costs not to exceed
$100), but Limited Partnership Interests so acquired are not thereafter
convertible into BACs.
Neither the BACs nor the Limited Partnership Interests are traded on any
established trading market. The Partnership does not intend to include the BACs
for quotation on NASDAQ or for listing on any national or regional stock
exchange or any other established securities market. The Revenue Act of 1987
contained provisions which have an adverse impact on investors in "publicly
traded partnerships." Accordingly, the General Partners have imposed limited
restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the Limited Partnership
Interests in secondary market transactions. 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 May 15, 2000, the Partnership has approximately 9,041 registered holders
of an aggregate of 139,101.5 BACs.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the two General Partners.
Certain subsidiaries are subject to HUD restrictions which limit annual cash
distributions to partners and restrict the subsidiaries from selling or
otherwise liquidating their assets during the period that the agreement with HUD
is in existence, without HUD's approval.
-9-
<PAGE>
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement there are no material
restrictions that restrict the ability of the Partnership to make distributions.
However, the Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of
March 31, 2000. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions
to its BACs holders other than from net refinancing or sales proceeds.

</TABLE>
During the years ended March 31, 1996 through 2000, total assets decreased
primarily due to depreciation and loss on impairment of assets (for the year
ended March 31, 1997), partially offset by net addition to property and
equipment. During the years ended March 31, 1996 through 2000, total liabilities
increased primarily due to the accrual of principal and interest payments at one
of the Local Partnerships along with the increase in obligations at the
remaining Local Partnerships.
CASH DISTRIBUTION
The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31,
2000.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Through March 31, 2000, the Partnership has invested approximately $109,000,000
(not including acquisition fees) of net proceeds in 62 Local Partnerships of
which approximately $306,000 remains to be paid (which includes approximately
$282,000 held in escrow).
During the year ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's primary source of funds
included (i) working capital reserves and (ii) cash distributions from the
operations of the Local Partnerships.
For the year ended March 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership
and its 62 consolidated subsidiary partnerships increased by approximately
$863,000. This increase was primarily attributable to cash provided by operating
activities ($3,629,000) and a net decrease in cash held in escrow for investing
($603,000) which exceeded acquisition of property and equipment ($1,384,000),
net repayments on mortgage notes ($1,524,000), a net decrease in due to local
general partners and affiliates ($198,000) and a decrease in capitalization of
consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($232,000). Included
in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash provided by operations is
depreciation and amortization in the amount of $12,208,000 and an increase in
due to debt guarantor in the amount of $2,736,000.
The Partnership has a working capital reserve of approximately $529,000 at March
31, 2000.
The Partnership is not expected to have access to additional sources of
financing, and in particular will not have the ability to assess BAC holders for
additional capital contributions to provide capital if needed by the
Partnership. Accordingly, if circumstances arise that cause a Local Partnership
to require capital in addition to that contributed by the Partnership and any
equity of the Local General Partner, the only sources from which such capital
needs will be able to be satisfied (other than the limited reserves available at
the partnership level) will be additional third party debt financing (which may
not be available if, as expected, the property owned by the Local Partnership is
already substantially leveraged or, as in the case of the New York program
properties, the incurrence of third party debt is not permitted) or additional
equity contributions of the Local General Partner or other equity sources (which
could adversely affect the Partnership's interest in operating cash flow and/or
proceeds of sale or refinancing of the property and result in adverse tax
consequences to the BAC holders). There can be no assurance that any of such
sources would be readily available in sufficient proportions to fund the capital
requirements of the Local Partnerships in question, particularly if the residual
value of a property is uncertain. If sources are not available, the Local
Partnership would risk foreclosure on its property if it was unable to
renegotiate the terms of its first mortgage and any other debt with the lenders
thereof. The risks associated with the need of the Local Partnership to
refinance their underlying first mortgage debt are exacerbated by the
probability that the term of certain favorable assistance programs from which a
Local Partnership may benefit will expire prior to the end of the compliance
period with respect to such Local Partnership's property.
Cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships remain relatively
immaterial. These distributions, as well as the working capital reserves
referred to above, will be used towards the future operating expenses of the
Partnership. During the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the amounts
received from operations of the Local Partnerships approximated $151,000,
$161,000 and $226,000, respectively.
-12-
<PAGE>
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements with all
Local Partnerships, in which the Local General Partners 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 aggregate approximately $18,700,000 of which approximately
$17,300,000 had expired as of March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000 and 1999,
approximately $3,720,000 and $4,655,000, respectively, has been funded by the
Local General Partners to meet such obligations. All operating deficit
guarantees expire within the next year. Management does not expect their
expiration to have a material impact on liquidity, based on prior years'
fundings.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounted to
approximately $4,192,000 and $2,758,000 were accrued and unpaid at March 31,
2000 and 1999. Without the General Partners' continued accrual and without
payment of certain fees and expense reimbursements, the Partnership will not be
in a position to meet its obligations. The General Partners have continued
allowing the accrual without payment of these amounts but are under no
obligation to continue to do so.
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 for 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 diversifications of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy. The Partnership has fully invested the
proceeds of its offering in 62 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
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the
time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated
depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in
earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates
amounts recoverable through future opera-
-13-
<PAGE>
tions and sale of the property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated
cost. At that time property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair
value (generally using discounted cash flows) when the property is considered to
be impaired and the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value. Through March
31, 2000, the Partnership has recorded approximately $20,083,000 as a loss on
impairment of assets.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are
adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. These
assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated. There are no assets classified as property and equipment-held for
sale through March 31, 2000.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 ("Fiscal 1999", "Fiscal 1998" and
"Fiscal 1997", respectively).
The majority of the Local Partnerships' income continues to be in the form of
rental income, with the corresponding expenses (excluding loss on impairment of
assets) being divided among operations, depreciation, and mortgage interest.
The net loss for the 1999, 1998 and 1997 Fiscal Years totaled $15,946,574,
$14,696,589 and $15,842,224, respectively.
1999 VS. 1998
Rental income increased approximately 2% for the year ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to corresponding period in 1999 primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income decreased approximately $1,176,000 for the year ended March 31,
2000 as compared to corresponding period in 1999 primarily due to a decrease at
one Local Partnership due to a real estate settlement in the prior year which
reduced the accrued interest owed on prior year delinquent taxes and a decrease
at a second Local Partnership due to the reversal, in the prior year, of the
excess reserve established to cover the maximum exposure of the disputed
property tax assessments.
Total expenses remained fairly consistent with an increase of approximately 1%
for the year ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the corresponding period in
1999.
1998 VS. 1997
Rental income increased approximately 3% for the year ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to the corresponding period in 1998 primarily due to rental rate
increases.
Other income increased approximately $1,355,000 for the year ended March 31,
1999 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998 primarily due to the
following increases at four Local Partnerships. There was an increase at one
Local Partnership due to the receipt of insurance proceeds resulting from a roof
warranty. The increase at the second Local Partnership is due to a rebate from
signing a new cable contract and termination fees resulting from early
cancellation of rental leases. The increase at the third Local Partnership
resulted from a real estate tax settlement which reduced the accrued interest
owed on prior year delinquent taxes. The increase at the fourth Local
Partnership resulted from the reversal of the excess reserve established to
cover the maximum exposure of disputed property tax assessments.
Total expenses, excluding real estate taxes, remained fairly consistent with an
increase of approximately 3% for the year ended March 31, 1999 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1998.
-14-
<PAGE>
Real estates taxes decreased approximately $1,236,000 for the year ended March
31, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998 primarily due to the
write-off of accrued real estate taxes due to a settlement of prior year taxes
owed at one Local Partnership.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CERTAIN LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS
R.P.P. LIMITED DIVIDEND HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("RIVER PLACE")
River Place's long-term debt consists of borrowings under two loan agreements
with the Michigan State Housing Authority (the "Authority") with outstanding
balances totaling $29,305,000 at December 31, 1999. River Place has been unable
to generate sufficient cash flows to meet a majority of its required principal
and interest payments under the loans. River Place's debt guarantor, General
Retirement System of the City of Detroit ("GRS"), entered into an agreement with
the Authority to purchase these loans upon occurrence of certain events. GRS has
declared River Place in default under its obligation to make the required
payments. During 1996, GRS agreed to waive its right of foreclosure under the
mortgages, unless certain events occur, through February 1, 2006. GRS has made
advances for debt service and has incurred certain fees relating to these loans
totaling $34,817,045 including accrued interest on such advances at a rate of
15%. Such amount is included in the amount due to debt guarantor on the balance
sheet.
Management anticipates that River Place will be unable to make all of the
required debt service payments during 2000. However, there is no guarantee that
GRS, or any other persons, will continue to make these payments on behalf of
River Place. These items raise substantial doubt about River Place's ability to
continue as a going concern.
The financial statements of River Place have been prepared assuming that River
Place will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The
Partnership's investment in River Place has been written down to zero by prior
years' losses and the minority interest balance was $882,750 at both March 31,
2000 and 1999. The net loss after minority interest for River Place amounted to
approximately $3,822,000, $3,185,000 and $3,648,000 for the years ended March
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
L.I.H. CHESTNUT ASSOCIATES, L.P. ("CHESTNUT")
Chestnut has sustained recurring losses from operations. At December 31, 1999,
Chestnut had not made certain payments required under the terms of the mortgage
loan and, as a result, is in default. Chestnut's continued existence is
dependent on its resolution of the default under the mortgage loan. These items
raise substantial doubt about Chestnut's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements for Chestnut do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The General Partner of Chestnut is
in discussion with the first mortgagee and Chestnut's limited partners
(including the Partnership) in an attempt to resolve the default. The
Partnership's investment in Chestnut has been written down to zero by prior
years' losses and the minority interest balance was $1,147,092 at both March 31,
2000 and 1999. The net loss after minority interest for Chestnut amounted to
approximately $470,000, $463,000 and $476,000 for the years ended March 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
WILLIAMSBURG RESIDENTIAL II, L.P. ("WILLIAMSBURG II")
In November 1996, the general partner of Williamsburg II stopped making the
mortgage note payments which constituted an event of default. On January 1,
1997, the general partner was replaced.
-15-
<PAGE>
A Reinstatement and Modification Agreement dated July 24, 1997, and effective
March 1, 1997 was entered into between Williamsburg II and Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA"). Terms of the agreement include: 1. Interest only
on the loan for 36 months. 2. Replacement reserve escrow payments waived during
1997. 3. Net operating income is to be turned over to the loan servicer monthly.
4. Execution of a Debt Service Reserve Agreement.
The Debt Service Agreement, also dated July 24, 1997, called for a total of
$275,000 to be deposited into a debt service escrow account for the mutual
benefit of Williamsburg II and Williamsburg Residential, L.P. (an adjoining and
affiliated project). If the monthly net operating income turned over to the loan
servicer is less than the required mortgage and escrow payment, the debt service
escrow account is drawn upon. At both December 31, 1999 and 1998, balances in
the two entities accounts totaled $0.
The Partnership has advanced Williamsburg II the necessary funds to keep the
mortgage and escrows current during 1999 and 1998 and is expected to continue to
do so during 2000. As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership has advanced
approximately $471,000 to Williamsburg II. The advances do not bear interest and
are short-term in nature.
The Partnership's investment in Williamsburg II had been written down to zero by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $330,000
and $332,000 at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Williamsburg II's net
loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $148,000, $213,000 and
$172,000 for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
JEFFERSON LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("JEFFERSON")
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, Jefferson's current liabilities exceeded its
current assets by over $27,000 and $25,000, respectively. Although this
condition could raise substantial doubt about Jefferson's ability to continue as
a going concern, such doubt is alleviated by the fact that $14,040 and $21,220
of current liabilities at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, are to
related parties which do not intend to pursue payment beyond Jefferson's ability
to pay.
Accordingly, management believes that Jefferson has the ability to continue as a
going concern for at least one year from December 31, 1999. The Partnership's
investment in Jefferson was approximately $518,000 and $668,000 at March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively, and the minority interest balance was $0 at each
date. The net loss after minority interest for Jefferson amounted to
approximately $149,000, $132,000, and $140,000 for the years ended March 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
AFFORDABLE FLATBUSH ASSOCIATES ("AFFORDABLE FLATBUSH")
In order for Affordable Flatbush to qualify for the federal low-income tax
credits, it must meet certain rental income restrictions. The rental and income
restrictions must be adhered to for a 15-year compliance period. During 1996,
the Department of Housing Preservation and Development ("HPD") audited
Affordable Flatbush's compliance with the rental and income restrictions of
section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. HPD concluded in its audit report that
Affordable Flatbush was not in compliance within the guidelines as set forth in
the Internal Revenue Code for certain units of the project and consequently, the
basis of the property for purposes of computing the low income housing tax
credits should be reduced by an amount which approximates 88% of such basis.
Affordable Flatbush management is contesting the findings by HPD and,
consequently, has computed the low income tax credits for 1999 as if there was
no reduction in the basis of the property.
-16-
<PAGE>
OTHER SUBSIDIARY PARTNERSHIPS
Four of the subsidiary partnerships are leasing the land on which the Projects
are located for terms ranging from 28 to 99 years. At December 31, 1999, the
subsidiary partnerships were committed to minimum annual rentals on the
noncancelable leases aggregating $155,130 for each of the next five years, and
$3,944,123 in total, thereafter.
OTHER
The Partnership's investment in the Local Partnerships is subject to the risks
incident to management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership's
investments also could be adversely affected by poor economic conditions, which,
could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and 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 risks stem from 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.
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, for example, for such items as fuel,
utilities and labor. However, continued inflation should allow for appreciated
values of the Local Partnerships' Apartment Complexes over a period of time as
rental revenues and replacement costs continue to increase.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Tax Credit Plus III
L.P. and Subsidiaries (a Delaware Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in partners' (deficit) capital, and cash flows for the years ended March
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (the 1999, 1998 and 1997 Fiscal Years, respectively).
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of 61
(Fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997) subsidiary partnerships whose losses aggregated
$12,717,054, $11,808,044 and $48,514,709 of the Partnership's net loss for the
1999, 1998 and 1997 Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose assets constituted 96%
and 95% of the Partnership's assets at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The financial
statements of these 61 subsidiary partnerships were audited by other auditors
whose reports thereon have been furnished to us and our opinion expressed
herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these subsidiary
partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based upon our audits, and the reports of the other auditors
referred to above, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the
first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries at March 31, 2000 and 1999,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended
March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of two subsidiary partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of these subsidiary
partnerships were prepared assuming that each will continue as a going concern.
These subsidiary partnerships have been unable to generate sufficient cash flow
to pay their mortgage obligations. The two subsidiary partnerships' net losses
aggregated $4,291,565 (Fiscal 1999), $3,647,759 (Fiscal 1998) and $4,124,102
(Fiscal 1997), and their assets aggregated $22,472,739 and $23,096,175 at March
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Partners
Michigan Rural Housing Limited Partnership
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Michigan Rural Housing Limited
Partnership (a Michigan partnership) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Partnership's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on my audits.
I have conducted the audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I 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.
I believe that the audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Michigan Rural Housing Limited
Partnership as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners
Broadway Townhouses L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Broadway Townhouses L.P. as of
December 31, 1997, and the related statements of profit and loss (on HUD Form
No. 92410), partners' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Broadway Townhouses L.P. as of
December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations, the changes in partners'
equity and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information on pages 23 through 27
is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the "Consolidated Audit

1998 on our consideration of Broadway Townhouses L.P.'s internal control and on

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners
Knob Hill Apartments, Ltd.
Morristown, Tennessee
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Knob Hill Apartments, Ltd. a
limited partnership, RHS Project No.: 48-032-638979224 as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital and cash
flows for the years then ended. 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 the audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farmers Home
Administration Audit Program. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that the 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 Knob Hill Apartments, Ltd., RHS
Project No 48-032-638979224 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information on pages 10
through 13 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental information
presented in the Multiple Family Housing Borrower Balance Sheet (Form FmHA
1930-8) Parts I and II for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, is
presented for purposes of complying with the requirements of the Rural Housing
Services and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the audit procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report
dated February 21, 2000 on our consideration of Knob Hill Apartments, Ltd.,'s
internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws and regulations.

LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - General
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on November 17, 1988. The Partnership had no
operations until commencement of the public offering on May 2, 1989. The general
partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties III L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), and Liberty GP III Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Liberty General Partner"). The general partner of the
Related General Partner is Related Credit Properties III Inc., a Delaware
corporation.
The Partnership's business is to invest in other limited partnerships ("Local
Partnerships" or "Subsidiaries" or "Subsidiary Partnerships") owning leveraged
apartment complexes ("Apartment Complexes") that are eligible for the low-income
housing tax credit ("Housing 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 ("Historic Rehabilitation Tax
Credit").
The Partnership has acquired interests in 62 Local Partnerships as of March 31,
2000 and no further acquisitions are anticipated.
The Partnership is authorized to issue a total of 150,000 Beneficial Assignment
Certificates ("BACs"), which have been registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for sale to the public. Each BAC represents all of the
economic and virtually all of the ownership rights attributable to one-fifth of
a limited partnership interest. As of March 31, 2000, 139,101.5 have been
issued, and no further issuance of BACs is anticipated. The offering was
completed on March 30, 1990.
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 62 subsidiary partnerships in which the Partnership is the principal limited
partner. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or an affiliate of the
General Partners, which affiliate has a contractual obligation to act on behalf
of the Partnership, to remove the general partner of the subsidiary partnerships
and to approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership
has a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary partnerships.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's fiscal year ends on March
31. All subsidiaries have fiscal years ending December 31. Accounts of the
subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1
through March 31. The Partnership's fiscal year ends March 31 in order to allow
adequate time for the subsidiaries financial statements to be prepared and
consolidated. The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the
accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

<PAGE>
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
All intercompany accounts and transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest arises from cash contributions and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.
Losses attributable to minority interest which exceed the minority interest's
investment in a subsidiary have been charged to the Partnership. Such losses
aggregated approximately $273,000, $247,000 and $271,000 for the years ended
March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively (the 1999, 1998 and 1997 fiscal
years, respectively). The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary is equal
to the respective subsidiary partners' equity less minority interest capital, if
any. In consolidation, all subsidiary partnerships' 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. Cash held in escrow has various use restrictions and is not
considered a cash equivalent.
c) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the
time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated
depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in
earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates
amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an
undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time, property
investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using
discounted cash flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and the
depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value. Through March 31, 2000, the
Partnership has recorded approximately $20,083,000 as a loss on impairment of
assets.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are
adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. These
assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated. There are no assets classified as property and equipment-held for
sale through March 31, 2000.

d) 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 (see Note 9).
e) Offering Costs
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. (See Note 8).
f) Loss Contingencies
The Partnership records loss contingencies as a charge to income when
information becomes available which indicates that it is probable that an asset
has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the
financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
h) Adoption of New Accounting Standards
During April of 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5") "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities".
SOP 98-5 provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and
organization costs. SOP 98-5 is effective for all fiscal quarters beginning
after December 15, 1998.
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:

A) Guarantees
The Partnership negotiated Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements with all Local
Partnerships in which the General Partners of the Local Partnerships 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 aggregate approximately $18,700,000 of which approximately
$17,300,000 had expired as of March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000 and 1999,
approximately $3,720,000 and $4,655,000, respectively, has been funded by the
Local General Partners to meet such obligations. Amounts funded under such
agreements are treated as noninterest bearing loans, which will be repaid only
out of 50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing
proceeds.
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.

agement fees for any year will be accrued without interest and will be payable
only to the extent of available funds after the Partnership has made the
distributions to the limited partners of sale or refinancing proceeds equal to
their original capital contributions plus a 10% priority return thereon (to the
extent not theretofore paid out of cash flow). Partnership management fees owed
to the General Partners amounting to approximately $4,192,000 and $2,758,000
were accrued and unpaid at March 31, 2000 and 1999. Without the General
Partners' continued accrual without payment of certain fees and expense
reimbursements, the Partnership will not be in a position to meet its
obligations. The General Partners have continued allowing the accrual without
payment of these amounts but are under no obligation to continue to do so.
(ii) The Partnership reimburses the General Partners and their affiliates for
actual Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partners and their
affiliates on the Partnership's behalf. The amount of reimbursement from the
Partnership is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Another
affiliate of the General Partners performs asset monitoring for the Partnership.
These services include site visits and evaluations of the subsidiary
partnerships' performance.
(iii) The subsidiary partnerships incurred property management fees amounting to
$2,214,259, $2,230,323 and $2,157,696 for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998, respectively, of which $1,689,366, $1,722,556 and $1,860,306,
respectively, was incurred to affiliates of the subsidiary partnerships' general
partners. Included in amounts incurred to affiliates of the subsidiary
partnerships' general partners was $0, $11,420 and $177,825 for the years ended
March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which was also incurred to an
affiliate of the Related General Partner.
(iv) Liberty Associates, a special limited partner of the subsidiary
partnerships, is entitled to receive a local administrative fee of up to $2,500
per year from each subsidiary partnership.
Liberty Associates received cash distributions from the Local Partnerships of
$1,284, $1,106 and $1,854 during the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and the Local Partnership Agreements, the

NOTE 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concerns
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CERTAIN LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS
R.P.P. LIMITED DIVIDEND HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("RIVER PLACE")
River Place's long-term debt consists of borrowings under two loan agreements
with the Michigan State Housing Authority (the "Authority") with outstanding
balances totaling $29,305,000 at December 31, 1999. River Place has been unable
to generate sufficient cash flows to meet a majority of its required principal
and interest payments under the loans. River Place's debt guarantor, General
Retirement System of the City of Detroit ("GRS"), entered into an agreement with
the Authority to purchase these loans upon occurrence of certain events. GRS has
declared River Place in default under its obligation to make the required
payments. During 1996, GRS agreed to waive its right of foreclosure under the
mortgages, unless certain events occur, through February 1, 2006. GRS has made
advances for debt service and has incurred certain fees relating to these loans
totaling $34,817,045 including accrued interest on such advances at a rate of
15%. Such amount is included in the amount due to debt guarantor on the balance
sheet.
Management anticipates that River Place will be unable to make all of the
required debt service payments during 2000. However, there is no guarantee that
GRS, or any other persons, will

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
continue to make these payments on behalf of River Place. These items raise
substantial doubt about River Place's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements of River Place have been prepared assuming that River
Place will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The
Partnership's investment in River Place has been written down to zero by prior
years' losses and the minority interest balance was $882,750 at both March 31,
2000 and 1999. The net loss after minority interest for River Place amounted to
approximately $3,822,000, $3,185,000 and $3,648,000 for the years ended March
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
L.I.H. CHESTNUT ASSOCIATES, L.P. ("CHESTNUT")
Chestnut has sustained recurring losses from operations. At December 31, 1999,
Chestnut had not made certain payments required under the terms of the mortgage
loan and, as a result, is in default. Chestnut's continued existence is
dependent on its resolution of the default under the mortgage loan. These items
raise substantial doubt about Chestnut's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements for Chestnut do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The General Partner of Chestnut is
in discussion with the first mortgagee and Chestnut's limited partners
(including the Partnership) in an attempt to resolve the default. The
Partnership's investment in Chestnut has been written down to zero by prior
years' losses and the minority interest balance was $1,147,092 at both March 31,
2000 and 1999. The net loss after minority interest for Chestnut amounted to
approximately $470,000, $463,000 and $476,000 for the years ended March 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
b) Subsidiary Partnerships - Other
WILLIAMSBURG RESIDENTIAL II, L.P. ("WILLIAMSBURG II")
In November 1996, the general partner of Williamsburg II stopped making the
mortgage note payments which constituted an event of default. On January 1,
1997, the general partner was replaced.
A Reinstatement and Modification Agreement dated July 24, 1997, and effective
March 1, 1997 was entered into between Williamsburg II and Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA"). Terms of the agreement include: 1. Interest only
on the loan for 36 months. 2. Replacement reserve escrow payments waived during
1997. 3. Net operating income is to be turned over to the loan servicer monthly.
4. Execution of a Debt Service Reserve Agreement.
The Debt Service Agreement, also dated July 24, 1997, called for a total of
$275,000 to be deposited into a debt service escrow account for the mutual
benefit of Williamsburg II and Williamsburg Residential, L.P. (an adjoining and
affiliated project). If the monthly net operating income turned over to the loan
servicer is less than the required mortgage and escrow payment, the debt service
escrow account is drawn upon. At both December 31, 1999 and 1998, balances in
the two entities accounts totaled $0.
The Partnership has advanced Williamsburg II the necessary funds to keep the
mortgage and escrows current during 1999 and 1998 and is expected to continue to
do so during 2000. As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership has advanced
approximately $471,000 to Williamsburg II. The advances do not bear interest and
are short-term in nature.

MARCH 31, 2000
The Partnership's investment in Williamsburg II had been written down to zero by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $330,000
and $332,000 at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Williamsburg II's net
loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $148,000, $213,000 and
$172,000 for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
JEFFERSON LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("JEFFERSON")
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, Jefferson's current liabilities exceeded its
current assets by over $27,000 and $25,000, respectively. Although this
condition could raise substantial doubt about Jefferson's ability to continue as
a going concern, such doubt is alleviated by the fact that $14,040 and $21,220
of current liabilities at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, are to
related parties which do not intend to pursue payment beyond Jefferson's ability
to pay.
Accordingly, management believes that Jefferson has the ability to continue as a
going concern for at least one year from December 31, 1999. The Partnership's
investment in Jefferson was approximately $518,000 and $668,000 at March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively, and the minority interest balance was $0 at each
date. The net loss after minority interest for Jefferson amounted to
approximately $149,000, $132,000, and $140,000 for the years ended March 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
AFFORDABLE FLATBUSH ASSOCIATES ("AFFORDABLE FLATBUSH")
In order for Affordable Flatbush to qualify for the federal low-income tax
credits, it must meet certain rental income restrictions. The rental and income
restrictions must be adhered to for a 15-year compliance period. During 1996,
the Department of Housing Preservation and Development ("HPD") audited
Affordable Flatbush's compliance with the rental and income restrictions of
section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. HPD concluded in its audit report that
Affordable Flatbush was not in compliance within the guidelines as set forth in
the Internal Revenue Code for certain units of the project and, consequently,
the basis of the property for purposes of computing the low income housing tax
credits should be reduced by an amount which approximates 88% of such basis.
Affordable Flatbush management is contesting the findings by HPD and,
consequently, has computed the low income tax credits for 1999 as if there was
no reduction in the basis of the property.
LEASES
Four of the subsidiary partnerships are leasing the land on which the Projects
are located, for terms ranging from 28 to 99 years. At December 31, 1999, the
subsidiary partnerships were committed to minimum future annual rentals on the
noncancelable leases aggregating $155,130 for each of the next five years, and
$3,944,123 in total thereafter.
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, 2000, uninsured cash and
cash equivalents approximated $2,215,000.
d) 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
-180-

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
conditions generally, however no more than 20% of the properties are located
in any single state. There are also substantial risks associated with owning
properties receiving government assistance, for example the possibility that
Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make rental assistance
payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to partners based on
operating results and a percentage of the 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.
In order for certain subsidiaries to qualify for the Section 421A Program, and
the Inclusionary Zoning Program they are subject to certain requirements by
local authorities as to the level of rent that may be charged to tenants, the
tenants' incomes, the obligation to operate the property in accordance with rent
stabilization guidelines, and restrictions on the rate at which housing units
may be released from such guidelines.
Also, certain subsidiary partnerships obtain grants from local authorities to
fund construction costs of the properties and in order to qualify must maintain
the low-income nature of the property, among other provisions.
e) Tax Credits
A portion of the low-income housing tax credits are subject to recapture in
future years if (1) the Local Partnership ceases to meet qualification
requirements, (2) there is a decrease in the qualified basis of the Projects, or
(3) 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.
During the tax years 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership generated low-income
housing tax credits of approximately $19,534,000, $19,584,000 and $19,632,000,
respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries (a Delaware Limited
Partnership) included in the Form 10-K as presented in our opinion dated
May 26, 2000 on page 19, and based on the reports of other auditors, we have
also audited supporting Schedule I for the 1999, 1998 and 1997 Fiscal Years
and Schedule III at March 31, 2000. In our opinion, and based on the reports
of the other auditors, these consolidated schedules present fairly, when read
in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements, the
financial data required to be set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of two subsidiary partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of these subsidiary
partnerships were prepared assuming that each will continue as a going
concern. These subsidiary partnerships have been unable to generate
sufficient cash flow to pay their mortgage obligations. The two subsidiary
partnerships' net losses aggregated $4,291,565 (Fiscal 1999), $3,647,759
(Fiscal 1998) and $4,124,102 (Fiscal 1997), and their assets aggregated
$22,472,739 and $23,096,175 at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
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 III L.P., the entire purchase price paid by Liberty Tax Credit
Plus III L.P. 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.
