Note 1 - General

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Independence Tax
Credit Plus L.P. (the "Partnership") and 28 other limited partnerships
("subsidiary partnerships", "subsidiaries" or "Local Partnerships") owning
affordable apartment complexes that are eligible for the low-income housing tax
credit. Some of such apartment complexes may also be eligible for the
rehabilitation investment credit for certified historic structures. The general
partner of the Partnership is Related Independence Associates L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "General Partner"). Through the rights of the
Partnership and/or an affiliate of the General Partner, which affiliate has a
contractual obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership, to remove the
general partner of the subsidiary local partnerships and to approve certain
major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has a controlling
financial interest in the subsidiary partnerships.

The Partnership's fiscal quarter ends December 31. All subsidiaries have fiscal
quarters ending September 30. Accounts of the subsidiaries have been adjusted
for intercompany transactions from October 1 through December 31.

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 arise from cash contributions from and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.

Losses attributable to minority interests which exceed the minority interests'
investment in a subsidiary have been charged to the Partnership. Such losses
aggregated approximately $7,000 and $14,000 and $21,000 and $39,000 for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
Partnership's investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective
subsidiary's partners' equity less minority interest capital, if any. In
consolidation, all subsidiary partnership losses are included in the
Partnership's capital account except for losses allocated to minority interest
capital.

Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
has been omitted or condensed. These condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended March 31,
1997.

The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In the
opinion of the General Partner, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of
December 31, 1997, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31,
1997 and 1996. However, the operating results for the nine months ended December
31, 1997 may not be indicative of the results for the year.

Note 2 - Related Party Transactions

An affiliate of the General Partner, Independence SLP L.P., has up to a 1%
interest as a special limited partner in each of the Local Partnerships. An
affiliate of the General Partner also has a minority interest in certain local
limited partnerships.

*Reclassified for comparative purposes

(a) The General Partner is 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 Partner in its sole discretion
based upon its review of the Partnership's investments. Unpaid partnership
management 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
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 Partner amounting to approximately $527,000 and $489,000 were
accrued and unpaid as of December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1997, respectively.

(b) The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and its affiliates for actual
Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partner and its
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
Partner performs asset monitoring for the Partnership. These services include
site visits and evaluations of the subsidiary partnerships' performance.

(c) Property management fees incurred to affiliates of the subsidiary
partnerships amounted to $241,904 and $223,746 and $682,612 and $671,025 for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Included
in amounts incurred to affiliates of the subsidiary partnerships were $8,447 and
$6,818 and $28,233 and $38,363 for the three and nine months ended December 30,
1997 and 1996, respectively, which were also incurred to an affiliate of the
General Partner.

(d) Independence SLP L.P. is entitled to receive a local administrative fee of
up to $2,500 per year from each subsidiary partnership.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and the Local Partnership Agreements, the
General Partner and Independence SLP L.P. received their pro-rata share of
profits, losses and tax credits.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's primary source of funds include (i) working capital reserves
and interest earned thereon, and (ii) cash distributions from the operations of
the Local Partnerships. All these sources of funds are available to meet
obligations of the Partnership.

As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has invested approximately $59,710,000
(not including acquisition fees of approximately $4,500,000) of net proceeds in
twenty-eight Local Partnerships of which approximately $360,000 remains to be
paid to the Local Partnerships (which is being held in escrow) as certain
benchmarks, such as occupancy level, must be attained prior to the release of
the funds. During the nine months ended December 31, 1997, approximately
$627,000 was paid from escrow. The Partnership does not intend to acquire
additional properties, however, the Partnership may be required to fund
potential purchase price adjustments based on tax credit adjustor clauses.

Cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership and its twenty-eight consolidated
subsidiary partnerships increased approximately $191,000 during the nine months
ended December 31, 1997 primarily due to cash provided by operating activities
($1,230,000) and a decrease in cash held in escrow for investing activities
($627,000) which exceeded repayments of mortgage notes ($1,127,000),
improvements to property and equipment ($32,000), a decrease in capitalization
of consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($119,000) and a
net decrease in due to local general partners and affiliates ($380,000).
Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash provided by
operations is depreciation and amortization of approximately $4,581,000.

An original working capital reserve of approximately $1,536,000 (2% of Gross
Proceeds raised) was established from the Partnership's funds available for
investment. The working capital reserve at December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1997
was approximately $153,000 and $181,000, respectively, which includes amounts
which may be required for the potential purchase price adjustments based on tax
credit adjustor clauses.

Cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships remain relatively
immaterial. Distributions of approximately $133,000 and $52,000 were received
during the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. However,
management ex-

                                       11

<PAGE>

pects that the distributions received from the Local Partnerships
will increase, although not to a level sufficient to permit providing cash
distributions to BACs holders. These distributions as well as the working
capital reserves referred to in the above paragraph will be used to meet the
operating expenses of the Partnership.

Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to
approximately $527,000 and $489,000 were accrued and unpaid as of December 31,
1997 and March 31, 1997, respectively (see Note 2).

For a discussion of a contingency affecting a certain Local Partnership, see
Note 3 to the financial statements. Since the maximum loss the Partnership would
be liable for is its net investment in the Local Partnership, the resolution of
the existing contingency 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 compliance period.

Management is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties,
which have not otherwise been disclosed, that will or are likely to impact
liquidity in a material way. Management believes the only impact would be from
laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is diversified by the
location of the properties around the United States so that if one area of the
country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the remaining properties in
the portfolio may be experiencing upswings. However, the geographic
diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general downturn in
the national economy. The Partnership has fully invested the proceeds of its
offering in 28 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 such ten year
period. If the General Partner determined that a sale of a property is
warranted, the remaining tax credits would transfer to the new owner, thereby
adding value to the property on the market, which are not included in the
financial statement carrying amount.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's results of operations for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 consisted primarily of the results of the
Partnership's investment in twenty-eight Local Partnerships. The majority of
Local Partnership income continues to be in the form of rental income with the
corresponding ex-

                                       12
<PAGE>

penses being divided among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.

Rental income remained fairly consistent with increases of approximately 1% and
less than 1% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 as compared
to the corresponding periods in 1996 primarily due to rental rate decreases.

Other income decreased approximately $19,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1997 as compared to the corresponding period in 1996 primarily due to the
receipt of insurance proceeds for fire damages by two Local Partnerships during
the third quarter of 1996.

Total expenses excluding taxes remained fairly consistent with a decrease of
less than 1% and an increase of approximately 1% for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996.

Taxes increased approximately $120,000 and $283,000 for the three and nine
months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996
primarily due to an underaccrual of real estate taxes at one Local Partnership
in 1996.

Partnership. Lehigh and the Managing Member are affiliates of the General
Partner. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated May 28, 1997 among the
Partnership, Lehigh and the General Partner (the "Standstill Agreement"), Lehigh
agreed that, prior to May 28, 2007 (the "Standstill Expiration Date"), it will
not and it will cause certain affiliates not to (i) 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, (ii) form, join or otherwise participate
in a "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) 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, (iii) disclose in writing to any third
party any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with the terms of the
Standstill Agreement, or (iv) loan money to, advise, assist or encourage any
person in connection with any action inconsistent with the terms of the
Standstill Agreement. 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 the General Partner as a general
partner of the Partnership or (ii) concerning the reduction of any fees,
profits, distributions or allocations for the benefit of the General Partner or
its affiliates.
