PART I
Item 1. Business.
GENERAL
Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which
was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 28, 1989. The
General Partners of the Partnership are Related Freedom Associates L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the " Related General Partner"), and Freedom GP
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Freedom General Partner" and together with
the Related General Partner, the "General Partners"). The general partner of the
Related General Partner is Related Freedom Associates Inc., a Delaware
corporation. The General Partners are both affiliates of Related Capital
Company. On November 25, 1997, an affiliate of the Related General Partner,
purchased 100% of the stock of the Freedom General Partner. Prior to such
purchase the Freedom General Partner was an affiliate of Lehman Brothers.
On February 9, 1990, the Partnership commenced a public offering (the
"Offering") of Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs") representing
assignments of limited partnership interests in the Partnership ("Limited
Partnership Interests"), pursuant to a prospectus dated February 9, 1990, as
supplemented by supplements thereto dated December 7, 1990, May 10, 1991, July
10, 1991 and July 23, 1991 (as so supplemented, the "Prospectus").
The Partnership received $72,896,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering from
4,780 investors, and the Offering was terminated on August 8, 1991. (See Item 8,
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data", Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The Partnership was formed to invest as a limited partner in other limited
partnerships ("Local Partnerships"), each of which owns one or more leveraged
low-income multi-family residential complexes ("Apartment Complexes" or
"Properties") that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit ("Housing
Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and some of which may also
be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic Tax Credit";
together with Housing Tax Credits, the "Tax Credits"). The Partnership's
investment in each Local Partnership represents 98% to 99% of the partnership
interests in the Local Partnership. As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership had
acquired interests in forty-two Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 2000,
approximately $58,000,000 of net proceeds had been invested in such Local
Partnerships, representing all of the Partnership's net proceeds available for
investment. Subsequent to March 31, 2000 and as of the date of this filing,
there have been no additional investments, nor are any other investments
expected. See Item 2, Properties, below.
The investment objectives of the Partnership are described below.
1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to Housing Tax Credits over the Credit Period
(as defined below) 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.
-2-
<PAGE>
4. 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 period of the Partnership's entitlement to claim
Tax Credits (for each Property, generally ten years from the date of investment
or, if later, the date the Property is leased to qualified tenants; referred to
herein as the "Credit Period"). Each of the Local Partnerships in which the
Partnership has an interest has been allocated by the relevant state credit
agency the authority to recognize Housing 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 Housing Tax Credits at
all times during such period. Once a Local Partnership has become eligible to
recognize Housing Tax Credits, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an event
of "recapture" if its Property fails to remain in compliance with the Housing
Tax Credit requirements. None of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership
has acquired an interest has suffered an event of recapture.
Housing Tax Credits with respect to a given Apartment Complex are available for
a ten-year period that commences when the property is leased to qualified
tenants. However, the annual Housing Tax Credits available in the year in which
the Apartment Complex is leased to qualified tenants must be prorated based upon
the months remaining in the year. The amount of the annual Housing Tax Credits
not available in the first year will be available in the eleventh year. Internal
Revenue Code Section 42 regulates the use of the Apartment Complexes as to
occupancy, eligibility, and unit gross rent, among other requirements. Each
Apartment Complex must meet the provisions of these regulations during each of
fifteen consecutive years in order to remain qualified to receive the credits.
Certain Apartment Complexes have extended compliance periods of up to fifty
years.
The Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating Housing
Tax Credits. However, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will
continue to achieve any or all of its investment objectives.
The Partnership also continues to meet its objective of allocating passive
losses to individual BACs holders to offset passive income that they may realize
from rental real estate investments and other passive activities, and allocating
passive losses to corporate BACs holders to offset business income.
As of March 31, 2000, cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships
have been relatively immaterial. Management expects that the distributions
received from the Local Partnerships will increase, although not to a level
sufficient to permit cash distributions to BACs holders. The Partnership does
not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs holders in circumstances
other than refinancings or sales.
COMPETITION
The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all of the
properties acquired 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 compete with the Partnership.
EMPLOYEES
The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are performed
for the Partnership by its General Partners and their affiliates. The General
Partners receive compensation in connection with such activities as set forth in
Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the General Partners
and certain of their affiliates for expenses incurred in connec-
-3-
<PAGE>
tion with the performance by their employees of services for the Partnership
in accordance with the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement and
Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership holds a 99%, 98.99% and 98% limited partnership interest in
nine, ten and twenty-three Local Partnerships, respectively. Set forth below is
a schedule of these Local Partnerships including certain information concerning
the 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 (a) 2; Schedule
III.

None of the subsidiary partnership's assets or revenue balances are greater than
10% of the total.
All leases are generally for periods not greater than one to two years and no
tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
-6-
<PAGE>
Commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies) comprise
less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Local Partnerships. Rents for the
residential units are determined annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development ("HUD") and reflect increases, if any, in consumer price
indices in various geographic areas.
Management of the General Partners periodically reviews the physical state of
the properties and suggests to the respective Local General Partners budget
improvements which are generally funded from cash flow from operations or
release of replacement reserve escrows.
Management of the General Partners periodically reviews the insurance coverage
of the properties and believes such coverage is adequate.
See Item 1, Business, above for the general competitive conditions to which the
properties described above are subject.
Real estate taxes are calculated using rates and assessed valuations determined
by the township or city in which the property is located. Such taxes have
approximated 1% of the aggregate cost of the properties as shown in Schedule III
to the financial statements included herein.
The General Partners generally required that the general partners of the Local
Partnerships ("Local General Partners") undertake an obligation to fund
operating deficits of the Local Partnership (up to a stated maximum amount)
during a limited period of time (typically three to five years) following the
achievement of break-even operations ("Operating Deficit Guarantees"). Under the
terms of the Operating Deficit Guarantees, amounts funded are treated as
operating loans which do not bear interest and which will be repaid only out of
50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds.
As of March 31, 2000, all Operating Deficit Guarantees have expired and $316,138
of operating loans are outstanding. In cases where the General Partners deemed
it appropriate, the obligations of a Local General Partner under the Operating
Deficit Guarantees were secured by letters of credit and/or cash escrow
deposits.

<PAGE>
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters.
As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership had issued and has outstanding 72,896
Limited Partnership Interests, each representing a $1,000 capital contribution
to the Partnership, or an aggregate capital contribution of $ 72,896,000. All of
the issued and outstanding Limited Partnership Interests have been issued to
Freedom Assignor Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued
72,896 BACs to the purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of $
72,896,000. Each BAC represents all of the economic and virtually all of the
ownership rights attributable to a Limited Partnership Interest held by the
Assignor Limited Partner. BACs may be converted into Limited Partnership
Interests at no cost to the holder (other than the payment of transfer costs not
to exceed $100), but Limited Partnership Interests so acquired are not
thereafter convertible into BACs. As of May 7, 2000, the Partnership has 4,103
registered holders of an aggregate of 72,896 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
restrictions limiting the transferability of the BACs and the Limited
Partnership Interests in secondary market transactions. These restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing that would 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.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the two General Partners.
There are no material restrictions in the Partnership Agreement on the ability
of the Partnership to make distributions. 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.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL
During the year ended March 31, 2000, the primary sources of liquidity included
working capital, interest earned on working capital, and distributions received
from the Local Partnerships. None of these sources generated substantial amounts
of funds.
Working capital of approximately $116,000 remains as of March 31, 2000. It is
used to pay operating expenses of the Partnership, including Partnership
management fees payable to the General Partners and advances to Local
Partnerships if warranted. The Partnership is dependent upon the support of the
General Partners and certain of its affiliates in order to meet its obligations
at the Partnership level. The General Partners and these affiliates have agreed
to continue such support for the next year.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents of the
Partnership and its forty-two Local Partnerships increased approximately
$340,000 as a result of cash flow provided by operating activities ($1,630,000)
and proceeds from the sale of marketable securities ($40,000) which exceeded
capital improvements ($715,000), a decrease in the capitalization of
consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($8,000), a net
increase in due to local general partners and affiliates ($73,000) and
repayments of mortgage loans ($534,000). Included in the adjustments to
reconcile the net loss to cash flow provided by operating activities is
depreciation and amortization ($5,155,000).
During the years ended March 31, 2000 ("Fiscal Year 2000"), March 31, 1999
("Fiscal Year 1999") and March 31, 1998 ("Fiscal Year 1998") the amounts
received from the Local Partnerships were $24,406, $16,630 and $15,709,
respectively. Cash distributions from Local Partnerships are not expected to
reach a level sufficient to permit cash distributions to BACs holders. These
distributions, as well as the working capital referred to in the paragraph
above, will be used to meet the operating expenses of the Partnership.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounting to
approximately $3,504,000 and $2,828,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively. Without the General Partner's continued accrual
without payment, 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.
In September 1997, Congress enacted the Multi-Family Assisted Housing Reform and
Affordability Act of 1997 ("MAHRA") which provides for the renewal of Section 8
Housing Assistance Payments Contracts ("Section 8 Contracts") to be based upon
market rentals instead of the above-market rentals which is generally the case
under existing Section 8 Contracts. As a result, Section 8 Contracts that are
renewed in the future in projects insured by the Federal Housing Administration
("FHA") may not provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties to
meet the debt service requirements of these existing FHA-insured mortgages.
MAHRA also provides for the restructuring of these mortgage loans so that the
annual debt service on the restructured loan (or loans) can be supported by
Section 8 rents established at the market rents. The restructured loans will be
held by the current lender or another lender. There can be no assurance that a
property owner will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness
pursuant to the new rules implementing MAHRA or that an owner, or the holder of
the mortgage, would choose to restructure the mortgage if it were able to
participate.
-10-
<PAGE>
MAHRA went into effect on September 11, 1998 when interim regulations
implementing the program were published. It should be noted that there are many
uncertainties as to the economic and tax impact on a property owner because of
the combination of the reduced Section 8 contract rents and the restructuring of
the existing FHA-insured mortgage loan under MAHRA.
On October 21, 1998 President Clinton signed the Fiscal Year 1999 Departments of
Veteran Affairs, Housing and Urban Development and Independent Agencies
Appropriation Legislation into law. The bill provides, among other things, that
owners of a property that was eligible for prepayment had to give notice of such
prepayment to HUD tenants and to the chief executive of the state or local
government for the jurisdiction in which the housing is located. The notice must
be provided not less than 150 days, but not more than 270 days, before such
payment. Moreover, the owner may not increase the rent charged to tenants for a
period of 60 days following such prepayment. The bill also provides for
tenant-based vouchers for eligible tenants (generally below 80% of area median
income) at the true comparable market rents for unassisted units in order to
protect current residents from substantial increases in rent.
Effective January 1, 1999 the State of California now requires owners of a
property benefiting from FHA insured mortgages under Section 236 or 221(a)(3) to
provide a nine month notice of contract termination or prepayment of the FHA
insured loan. In addition, the owner must offer the properties for sale to those
entities who agree to maintain the property as affordable housing.
On October 20, 1999, President Clinton signed the Fiscal Year 2000 VA, the HUD
Independent Agencies Appropriations Act (the "Appropriations Act"). The
Appropriations Act contains revisions to the HUD Mark-to-Market Program and
other HUD programs concerning the preservation of the HUD housing stock. On
December 29, 1999 HUD issued Notice H99-36 addressing "Project Based Section 8
Contracts Expiring in Fiscal Year 2000" reflecting the changes in the
Appropriations Act and superceding earlier HUD Notices 98-34, 99-08, 99-15,
99-21 and 99-32. Notice 99-36 clarifies many of the earlier uncertainties with
respect to the earlier HUD Section 8 Mark-to-Market Programs and continued the
Mark-to-Market Program which allows owners with Section 8 contracts to
increase the rents to market levels where contract rents are currently below
market. As of December 31, 1999, none of the Local Partnerships have opted to
enter the Mark-to-Market Program and therefore this has no impact on the
Partnership.
For a discussion of contingencies affecting a certain Local Partnership, see
"Results of Operations of a Certain Local Partnership" below. Since the maximum
loss the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in the Local
Partnership, 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 would eliminate the ability to generate future Housing Tax Credits
from such Local Partnership and may also result in recapture of Housing Tax
Credits if the investment is lost before the expiration of the Credit Period.
Except as described above, management is not aware of any trends or events,
commitments or uncertainties, which have not otherwise been disclosed, that will
or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the
only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is
diversified by the location of the properties around the United States so that
if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the
remaining properties in the portfolio may not be affected. However, the
geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy. The Partnership has fully invested the
proceeds of its offering in 42 Local Partnerships, all of which have their
Housing Tax Credits in place. The Housing Tax Credits are attached to the
-11-
<PAGE>
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 Housing Tax Credits would
transfer to the new owner, thereby adding significant value to the property on
the market.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of", the Partnership is required to review long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable.
The Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of its properties to
its estimate of the sum of undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of
remaining tax credits, to determine if the carrying value of the property is
impaired. If the property is considered impaired based on this analysis, an
impairment loss is recorded in order to write down the property to its fair
value. The determination of fair value is based, not only upon future cash
flows, which rely upon estimates and assumptions including expense growth,
occupancy and rental rates, but also upon market capitalization and discount
rates as well as other market indicators. The General Partners believe that the
estimates and assumptions used are appropriate in evaluating the carrying amount
of the Partnership's properties. However, changes in market conditions and
circumstances may occur in the near term which would cause these estimates and
assumptions to change, which, in turn, could cause the amounts ultimately
realized upon the sale or other disposition of the properties to differ
materially from their estimated fair value. Such changes may also require
write-downs in future years. During the year ended March 31, 2000, there was a
$500,000 loss on the impairment of one asset. Through March 31, 2000, the
Partnership has recorded $1,600,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.
The Partnership's primary source of income continues to be rental income with
the corresponding expenses being divided among operations, depreciation, and
mortgage interest.
Rental income is recognized as rent becomes due. Rental payments received in
advance are deferred until earned. The Partnership received rental subsidies
which amounted to approximately $2,827,000, $2,737,000 and $2,447,000 for the
years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The related rental
subsidy programs have expiration dates that either expire subsequent to the year
2000 or terminate upon total disbursement of the assistance obligation.
2000 VS. 1999
Rental income increased approximately 2% for the year ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to 1999 primarily due to rental rate increases.
No major expense categories, excluding the loss on impairment of assets, changed
more than 5% for the year ended March 31, 2000 as compared to 1999.
1999 VS. 1998
Rental income increased approximately 3% for the year ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to 1998 primarily due to rental rate increases.
-12-
<PAGE>
No major expense categories, excluding the loss on impairment of assets, changed
more than 7% for the year ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF A CERTAIN LOCAL PARTNERSHIP
EAGLE RIDGE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
In fiscal 1998, Eagle Ridge Limited Partnership ("Eagle Ridge") entered into a
Forbearance Agreement with the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development
Authority ("WHEDA") as a result of Eagle Ridge's failure to pay all the required
installment payments under its mortgage note. Under the terms of the agreement,
WHEDA has agreed to temporarily forego the enforcement of its rights and
remedies against Eagle Ridge through December 31, 1998 and to continue to extend
Eagle Ridge financing provided that Eagle Ridge complies with certain
conditions. The Forbearance Agreement was extended through December 31, 2000,
and Eagle Ridge is currently negotiating with WHEDA to permanently restructure
the loan. The conditions of the agreement consist of, but are not limited to:
(1) monthly payments of escrow and reserve deposits; (2) monthly payments of
principal and interest limited to the lower of 100% of net operating income
("NOI") or 5% of the regularly scheduled monthly note payment (base payment);
(3) 75% of the monthly NOI in excess of the base payment for principal and
interest; and (4) the remaining 35% of NOI in excess of the base payment is to
be paid as an incentive management fee to the management agent.
As of January 1, 1999, Gorman and Company, Inc., a Madison, Wisconsin based
developer/manager, was admitted as the General Partner of Eagle Ridge, and
Freedom SLP, L.P. withdrew as General Partner. Gorman and Company, Inc. also
will continue as managing agent of Eagle Ridge.
OTHER
The Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating Housing
Tax Credits. Housing Tax Credits are generated by a Property over a ten-year
period commencing as each Property is leased to qualified tenants. During the
years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Housing Tax Credits received by
the Partnership totaled $11,200,999, $11,200,999 and $11,208,964, respectively.
Based on the fact that certain Local Partnerships' tax credits will be expiring
in the year 2001, the Partnership expects the total tax credits to be received
to be less than those of prior years.
The Partnership's investments as limited partners in the Local Partnerships are
subject to the risks incident to the management and ownership of improved real
estate. The Partnership's investments also could be adversely affected by poor
economic conditions generally, which could increase vacancy levels, rental
payment defaults and operating expenses, any or all of which could threaten the
financial viability of one or more of the Local Partnerships.
There are also substantial risks associated with the operation of Apartment
Complexes receiving government assistance. These include governmental
regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to
rent apartments in the complexes; difficulties in obtaining government approval
for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of income which low and
moderate income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility that Congress may not
appropriate funds to enable HUD to make the rental assistance payments it has
contracted to make; and that when the rental assistance contracts expire there
may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents in a Local
Partnership's Apartment Complex.
The Local Partnerships are impacted by inflation in several ways. Inflation
generally allows for increases in rental rates to reflect the impact of higher
operating and replacement costs.
-13-
<PAGE>
Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships adversely by increasing operating
costs as a result of higher costs of such items as fuel, utilities and labor.
However, continued inflation may result in appreciated values of the Local
Partnerships' Apartment Complexes over a period of time as rental revenues and
replacement costs continue to increase.
The Partnership does not anticipate that it will be in a position to make cash
distributions at any time prior to the disposition of the Properties. If
distributions of operating cash flow are made, it is expected that they will be
limited. As of March 31, 2000, no such distributions have been made.
Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Partnership is not exposed to market risk since its mortgage indebtedness
bears fixed rates of interest.

The Partners
Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Freedom Tax
Credit Plus L.P. and consolidated partnerships as of March 31, 2000 and 1999,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners'
capital (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended March 31, 2000. In connection with our audits of the
consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial
statement schedules. These consolidated financial statements and the
financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and the financial statement schedules based on our
audits. We did not audit the financial statements of 18 and 27 of the
consolidated partnerships, which statements reflect combined assets
constituting 48% and 44% as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and combined revenues
constituting 37%, 42% and 43% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, of the
related consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors
whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for those partnerships, is based solely on
the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 and the reports of
the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P. and
consolidated partnerships as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended March 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

FREEDOM TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
NOTE 1 - General
Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on August 28, 1989 and commenced the public
offering on February 9, 1990. The general partners of the Partnership are
Related Freedom Associates L.P. (the "Related General Partner"), a Delaware
limited partnership, and Freedom GP Inc. (the "Freedom General Partner"), a
Delaware corporation, together (the "General Partners"). The Partnership will
terminate on December 31, 2030, unless terminated sooner under the provision's
of the partnership agreement.
The Partnership's business is to invest in other partnerships ("Local
Partnerships," "subsidiaries" or "subsidiary partnerships") owning leveraged
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 the
complexes may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit
("Historic Tax Credits"). During Fiscal Years 2000, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership generated $11,200,999, $11,200,999 and $11,208,964, respectively, in
Housing Tax Credits. There were no Historic Tax Credits generated in the 1999,
1998 and 1997 tax years.
The Partnership was authorized to issue a total of 200,000 Beneficial Assignment
Certificates ("BACs"), which had been registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for sale to the public. As of August 8, 1991 (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 $72,896,000 of gross
proceeds of the Offering from 4,780 investors.
The terms of the Limited 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.
The Partnership is dependent upon the support of the General Partners and
certain of its affiliates in order to meet its obligations at the Partnership
level. The General Partners and these affiliates have agreed to continue such
support for the next year.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The Partnership's fiscal year ends on March 31. All subsidiaries have calendar
year ends. Accounts of the subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany
transactions from January 1 through March 31. The 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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and 42 subsidiary partnerships, in which the Partnership is a limited partner,
with an ownership interest ranging from approximately 98% to 99%. All
intercompany accounts and transactions with
-80-
<PAGE>
FREEDOM TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
the subsidiary partnerships have been eliminated in consolidation. 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.
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest arises from cash contributions and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.
The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective
subsidiary's partners' equity less minority interest capital, if any.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments in short-term
money market accounts (which were purchased with maturities of three months or
less).
d) Investment in Marketable Securities
The Partnership applies the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At March 31, 2000 and
1999 the Partnership has classified its securities as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gain
(loss) reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until
realized. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below
cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the
establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
e) Cash held in Escrow
Cash held in escrow includes cash held in escrow, replacement reserves and
tenant security deposits.
f) Property and Equipment
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of", the Partnership is required to review long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment of properties to be held and used is determined to exist when
estimated amounts recoverable through future operations on an undiscounted basis
are below the properties' carrying value. If a property is determined to be
impaired, it is written down to its estimated fair value.
The determination of fair value is based, not only upon future cash flows, which
rely upon estimates and assumptions including expense growth, occupancy and
rental rates, but also upon market capitalization and discount rates as well as
other market indicators. The General Partners believe that the estimates and
assumptions used are appropriate in evaluating the
-81-
<PAGE>
FREEDOM TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
carrying amount of the Partnership's properties. However, changes in market
conditions and circumstances may occur in the near term which would cause these
estimates and assumptions to change, which, in turn, could cause the amounts
ultimately realized upon the sale or other disposition of the properties to
differ materially from their estimated fair value. Such changes may also require
write-downs in future years. During the year ended March 31, 2000, there was a
$500,000 loss on impairment of assets. Through March 31, 2000 the Partnership
has recorded $1,600,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which
range from 20 to 40 years for properties. Property is depreciated using an
accelerated or straight-line method. Equipment lives range from 5 to 7 years and
are depreciated on a straight-line basis.
g) Acquisition Fees and Costs
At investor closings, the General Partners were paid a property acquisition fee
(equal to 6% of the gross proceeds) for evaluating and screening real property
to be acquired. Acquisition fees and other acquisition expenses incurred by the
Partnership were charged to the property accounts based on the costs of
properties acquired.
h) Rental income
Rental income is recognized as rent becomes due. Rental payments received in
advance are deferred until earned. The Partnership received rental subsidies
which amounted to approximately $ 2,827,000, $2,737,000 and $2,447,000 for the
years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The related rental
subsidy programs have expiration dates that either expire subsequent to the year
2000 or terminate upon total disbursement of the assistance obligation.
i) 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 8).
j) Operating Deficit Guarantees
Amounts received under Operating Deficit Guarantees from the local general
partners are treated as 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. As of March 31, 2000, all Operating Deficit Guarantees
have expired.
k) Other Comprehensive Income
The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME on April 1,
1998. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The financial
statements for earlier periods, provided for comparative purposes, have been
reclassified as required. The accumulated balance of other comprehen-
-82-

AND CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
sive income is displayed as a separate component of Partners' Capital on the
consolidated balance sheet.
l) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions relating to reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses
disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
m) Deferred Costs
In 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". This
statement provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and
organization costs. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Such change in accounting
principle amounted to approximately $139,000 for the year ended March 31, 2000.
n) Net Loss Per BAC
Net loss per BAC is computed based on the net loss for the period attributed to
BAC Holders, divided by the number of BACs outstanding for the period. The
number of BACs outstanding for each of the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998 was 72,896.
NOTE 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, CASH HELD IN ESCROW, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER
LIABILITIES, DUE TO LOCAL GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES, AND DUE TO GENERAL
PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, cash
held in escrow, accounts payable and other liabilities approximates fair value.
Due to Local General Partners and Affiliates and Due to General Partners and
Affiliates would be paid from the future operations or sale of the properties
which is not readily determinable.
MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated, where practicable, based
on the borrowing rate currently available for similar loans.

(a) The mortgage notes payable are insured by HUD primarily in accordance with
Section 236 of the National Housing Act. New loans are no longer being insured
in accordance with Section 236 and presently existing loans are subject to
restrictions regarding prepayment. Management believes the estimation of fair
value to be impracticable.

Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 amounted
to $4,905,633, $4,959,745 and $5,058,549, respectively.
During the year ended March 31, 2000, accumulated depreciation of $4,898 was
written off.
The Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of its properties to
its estimate of the sum of undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of
remaining tax credits, to determine if the carrying value of the property is
impaired. If the property is considered impaired based on this analysis, an
impairment loss is recorded in order to write down the property to its fair
value. In December 1999, management of Oxford Trace ("Oxford") completed a
recoverability review of the carrying value of the property based on an estimate
of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual
disposition. As of December 31, 1999, management concluded that the sum of the
undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by the apartment
project is less than the carrying value and, as a result, the Part-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
nership recorded a loss on impairment of $500,000, which reduced the carrying
value to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was determined by
using a discounted cash flow analysis and an estimate of the fair value of the
remaining tax credits.
In 1997, management of Wilshire Park ("Wilshire") completed a recoverability
review of the carrying value of the property based on an estimate of
undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual
disposition. As of December 31, 1997, management concluded that the sum of the
undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by the apartment
project is less than the carrying value and, as a result, the Partnership
recorded a loss on impairment of $1,100,000, which reduced the carrying value to
its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was determined by using a
discounted cash flow analysis and an estimate of the fair value of the remaining
tax credits.

(a) The General Partners are entitled to receive a partnership management fee,
after payment of all Partnership expenses, which together with the annual local
administrative fees will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of Invested
Assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), for administering the affairs
of the Partnership. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the partnership
management fee will be determined by the General Partners in their sole
discretion based upon their review of the Partnership's investment. Unpaid
partnership management fees for any year will be accrued without interest and
will be payable from working capital reserves or to the extent of available
funds after the Partnership has made distributions to the Limited Partners and
BACs holders 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 General Partners
amounting to approximately $3,504,000 and $2,828,000 were accrued and unpaid as
of March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Without the General Partners continued
accrual without payment, 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. The
Partnership is dependent upon the support of the General Partner and certain of
its affiliates in order to meet its obligations at the Partnership level. The
General Partner and these affiliates have agreed to continue such support for
the foreseeable future.
(b) 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.

EAGLE RIDGE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
In fiscal 1998, Eagle Ridge entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Wisconsin
Housing and Economic Development Authority ("WHEDA") as a result of Eagle
Ridge's failure to pay all the required installment payments under the mortgage
note. Under the terms of the agreement, WHEDA has agreed to temporarily forego
the enforcement of its rights and remedies against Eagle Ridge through December
31, 1998 and to continue to extend Eagle Ridge financing provided that Eagle
Ridge complies with certain conditions. The Forbearance Agreement was extended
through December 31, 2000, and Eagle Ridge is currently negotiating with

AND CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS

MARCH 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
WHEDA to permanently restructure the loan. The conditions of the agreement
consist of, but are not limited to: (1) monthly payments of escrow and reserve
deposits, (2) monthly payments of principal and interest limited to the lower of
100% of net operating income ("NOI") or 5% of the regularly scheduled monthly
note payment (base payment), (3) 75% of the monthly NOI in excess of the base
payment for principal and interest and (4) the remaining 25% of NOI in excess of
the base payment is to be paid as an incentive management fee to the management
agent.
As of January 1, 1999, Gorman and Company, Inc., a Madison, Wisconsin based
developer/manager, was admitted as the General Partner of Eagle Ridge, and
Freedom SLP, L.P. withdrew as General Partner. Gorman and Company, Inc. also
will continue as managing agent of Eagle Ridge.
(b) Other
The Partnership is subject to 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 24% of
the properties are located in any single state. There are also substantial risks
associated with owning properties receiving government assistance, for example
the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make
rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to
partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owners equity
contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its
investments in subsidiary partnerships during the period that the subsidy
agreements are in existence, without HUD's approval. Furthermore there may not
be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance
contract expires.
Except as described above, management is not aware of any trends or events,
commitments or uncertainties, which have not otherwise been disclosed, that will
or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the
only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is
diversified by the location of the properties around the United States so that
if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the
remaining properties in the portfolio may not be affected. However, the
geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy.

(a) The General Partners are entitled to receive a partnership management fee,
after payment of all Partnership expenses, which together with the annual local
administrative fees will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of Invested
Assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), for administering the affairs
of the Partnership. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the partnership
management fee will be determined by the General Partners in their sole
discretion based upon their review of the Partnership's investment. Unpaid
partnership management fees for any year will be accrued without interest and
will be payable from working capital reserves or to the extent of available
funds after the Partnership has made distributions to the Limited Partners and
BACs holders 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 General Partners
amounting to approximately $3,504,000 and $2,828,000 were accrued and unpaid as
of March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Without the General Partners continued
accrual without payment, 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. The
Partnership is dependent upon the support of the General Partner and certain of
its affiliates in order to meet its obligations at the Partnership level. The
General Partner and these affiliates have agreed to continue such support for
the foreseeable future.
(b) 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.
(c) Property management fees incurred by subsidiary partnerships amounted to
$984,438, $968,246 and $937,552 for the 2000, 1999 and 1998 Fiscal Years,
respectively. Of these fees $628,222, $655,117 and $622,137 were incurred to
affiliates of the subsidiary partnerships.

each subsidiary partnership.

payable to executive officers has not been included in this annual report. As
noted above, the Partnership has no executive officers. The levels of
compensation payable to the General Partners and/or their affiliates is limited
by the terms of the Partnership Agreement and may not be increased therefrom on
a discretionary basis.

(2) As set forth in schedule 13D filed by the Partnership, Lehigh Tax Credit
L.L.C. (Lehigh) and Lehigh Tax Credit Partners, Inc. (the "Managing Member") on
October 24, 1997 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
and pursuant to a letter agreement dated August 26, 1997 among the Partnership,
Lehigh and Related Freedom Associates L.P. ("RFA") (the "Standstill Agreement"),
Lehigh agreed that, prior to August 26, 2007 (the "Standstill Expiration Date"),
it will not and it will cause certain affiliates (including Lehigh Tax Credit
Partners II, LLC ("Lehigh II")), not to (i) acquire, attempt to acquire or make
a proposal to acquire, directly or indirectly, more than 45% (including BACs
acquired through all other means) of the outstanding BACs, (ii) seek to propose
to enter into, directly or indirectly, any merger, consolidation, business
combination, sale or acquisition of assets, liquidation, dissolution or other
similar transaction involving the Partnership, (iii) make, or in any way
participate, directly or indirectly, in any "solicitation" of "proxies" or
"consents" (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission")) to vote any voting securities of the
Partnership, (iv) form, join or otherwise participate in a "group" (within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act) with respect to any voting securities of
the Partnership, except that those affiliates bound by the Standstill Agreement
will not be deemed to have violated it and formed a "group" solely by acting in
accordance with the Standstill Agreement, (v) disclose in writing to any third
party any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with the terms of the
Standstill Agreement, or (vi) loan money to, advise, assist or encourage any
person in connection with any action inconsistent with the terms of the
Standstill Agreement. In addition, Lehigh agreed that until the Standstill
Expiration Date it will not sell any BACs acquired by it unless the buyer of
such BACs agrees to be bound by the Standstill Agreement; provided, however,
Lehigh may make transfers in the secondary market to any purchaser which
represents that following such sale it will not own three (3%) percent or more
of the BACs outstanding. By the terms of the Standstill Agreement, Lehigh also
agreed to vote its BACs in the same manner as a majority of all voting BACs
holders; provided, however, Lehigh is entitled to vote its BACs as it determines
with regard to any proposal (i) to remove RFA as a general partner of the
Partnership or (ii) concerning the reduction of any fees, profits, distributions
or allocations for the benefit of RFA or its affiliates. The discussion herein
of the Standstill Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by
reference to such agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as an exhibit
and incorporated herein by reference.
(3) As of June 1, 2000, Lehigh held 4,192.83 BACs and Lehigh II held 4,182.83
BACs which constitutes approximately 11.5% of the outstanding BACs owned.

Member and owns an equity interest therein except J. Michael Fried who owns only
an economic interest.

(A) Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes, $146,576,191.
(B) Rental guarantees and development deficit guarantees for GAAP purposes are
treated as a reduction of the asset.
(C) Furniture and fixtures, included with buildings and improvements, are
depreciated primarily by the straight line method over the estimated useful
lives ranging from 5 to 7 years.
(D) Since all properties were acquired as operating properties, depreciation is
computed using primarily the straight line method over the estimated useful
lives determined by the Partnership from date of acquisition.
(E) Reconciliation of Real Estate owned:

At the time the local partnerships were acquired by Freedom Tax Credit Plus
L.P., the entire purchase price paid by Freedom Tax Credit Plus 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.
