PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
- -------
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. II (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware
on February 11, 1992. The general partner of the Partnership is Related
Independence Associates L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "General
Partner"). The general partner of the General Partner is Related Independence
Associates Inc., a Delaware corporation.
On January 19, 1993, 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"), managed by Related Equities Corporation (the "Dealer
Manager"), pursuant to a prospectus dated January 19, 1993, (the
"Prospectus").
As of March 31, 1997 the Partnership has received $58,928,000 of
Gross Proceeds of the Offering from 3,855 investors ("BACs holders"). The
Offering was terminated on April 7, 1994.
The Partnership's business is primarily to invest in other
partnerships ("Local Partnerships") owning apartment 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, some of
which may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit
("Historic Tax Credit"; and together with Housing Tax Credits, "Tax Credits").
The Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership represents 98.99% of
the partnership interests in the Local Partnership. As of March 31, 1997 the
Partnership acquired interests in fifteen Local Partnerships and does not
anticipate making any additional investments. As of March 31, 1997,
approximately $46,996,000 (not including acquisition fees of approximately
$3,502,000) of net proceeds has been invested in fifteen Local Partnerships of
which approximately $4,267,000 remains to be paid to the Local Partnerships,
as certain benchmarks such as occupancy levels must be attained prior to the
release of such funds. The Partnership does not intend to acquire additional
properties, however, the Partnership may be required to pay for potential
purchase price adjustments based on tax credit adjustor clauses. See Item 2,
Properties, below.
The Partnership has been formed to invest 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
Tax Credits . The investment objectives of the Partnership are described
below.
1. 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") 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. 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 agencies 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
-2-
<PAGE>
recognition of the Tax Credits at all times during such period. Once a Local
Partnership has become eligible to recognize Tax Credits, it may lose such
eligibility and suffer an event of "recapture" if its Property fails to remain
in compliance with the Tax Credit requirements. None of the Local Partnerships
in which the partnership has acquired an interest has suffered an event of
recapture.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will achieve its
investment objectives as described above.
HUD previously released the American Community Partnerships Act (the
"ACPA"). The ACPA is HUD's blueprint for providing for the nation's housing
needs in an era of static or decreasing budget authority. Two key proposals in
the ACPA that could affect the Local Partnerships are: a discontinuation of
project-based Section 8 subsidy payments, and an attendant reduction in debt
in properties that were supported by the Section 8 payments. The ACPA calls
for a transition during which the project-based Section 8 payments would be
converted to a tenant-based voucher system. Any FHA insured debt would then be
"marked-to-market" that is revalued in light of the reduced income stream.
Several industry sources have commented to HUD and Congress that in
the event the ACPA was fully enacted in its present form, the reduction in
mortgage indebtedness would be considered taxable income to owners such as
limited partners in the Partnership. Legislative relief has been proposed to
exempt "marked-to-market" debt from cancellation of indebtedness income
treatment. At present, there are several bills pending in Congress to address
this tax relief issue. Additionally, in the interim, HUD has agreed to annual
extensions of any expiring project-based Section 8 contracts, but there is no
guarantee that such extensions will be available in the future.
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 34% 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 owners equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or
substantially liquidate its investments in subsidiary partnerships during the
period that the subsidy agreements are in existence, without HUD's approval.
Furthermore there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents
when the rental assistance contracts expire.
Competition
- -----------
The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all
of the properties acquired by the Partnership are expected to have active
competition from similar properties in their respective vicinities. The
Partnership will compete in the acquisition of properties with many other
entities engaged in real estate investment activities, some of which have
greater assets than the Partnership. In addition, the number of entities and
the amount available for investment in properties of a type suitable for
investment by the Partnership may increase, resulting in increased competition
for such investments and possible increases in the prices to be paid. In
addition, various other limited partnerships may, in the future, be formed by
the General Partner and/or its 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 the General Partner and their affiliates. The
General Partner receives compensation in connection with such activities as
set forth in Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the
General Partner and certain of its 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").

The Partnership invested in Local Partnerships owning existing
Apartment Complexes which receive either Federal or state subsidies. HUD,
through FHA, administers a variety of subsidies for low- and moderate-income
housing. FHA administers similar housing programs for non-urban areas. The
Federal programs generally provide one or a combination of the following forms
of assistance: (i) mortgage loan insurance, (ii) rental subsidies, and (iii)
reduction of mortgage interest payments.
i) HUD provides mortgage insurance for rental housing projects
pursuant to a number of sections of Title II of the National Housing Act
("NHA"), including Section 236, Section 221(d)(4), Section 221(d)(3) and
Section 220. Under all of these programs, HUD will generally provide insurance
equal to 100% of the total replacement cost of the project to non-profit
owners and 90% of the total replacement cost to limited-distribution owners.
Mortgages are provided by institutions approved by HUD, including banks,
savings and loan companies and local housing authorities. Section 221(d)(4) of
NHA provides for federal insurance of private construction and permanent
mortgage loans to finance new construction of rental apartment complexes
containing five or more units. The most significant difference between the
221(d)(4) program and the 221(d)(3) program is the maximum amount of the loan
which may be obtained. Under the 221(d)(3) program, non-profit sponsors may
obtain a permanent mortgage equal to 100% of the total replacement cost; no
equity contribution is required of a non-profit sponsor. In all other respects
the 221(d)(3) program is substantially similar to the 221(d)(4) program.
ii) Many of the tenants in HUD insured projects receive some
form of rental assistance payments, primarily through the Section 8 Housing
Assistance Payments Program (the "Section 8 Program"). Apartment Complexes not
receiving assistance through the Section 8 Program ("Section 8 Payments") will
generally have limitations on the amounts of rent which may be charged. One
requirement imposed by HUD regulations effective for apartment complexes
initially approved for Section 8 payments on or after November 5, 1979 is to
limit the amount of the owner's annual cash distributions from operations to
10% of the owner's equity investment in an apartment complex if the apartment
complex is intended for occupancy by families and to 6% of the owner's equity
investment in an apartment complex intended for occupancy by elderly persons.
The owner's equity investment in the apartment complex is 10% of the project's
replacement cost as determined by HUD.
iii) As well as providing mortgage insurance, the Section 236
program also provides an interest credit subsidy which reduces the cost of
debt service on a project mortgage, thereby enabling the owner to charge the
tenants lower rents for their apartments. Interest credit subsidy payments are
made monthly by HUD directly to the mortgagee of the project. Each payment is
in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the monthly interest payment
required by the terms of the mortgage to pay principal, interest and the
annual mortgage insurance premium and (ii) the monthly payment which would
have been required for principal and interest if the mortgage loan bore
interest at the rate of 1%. These payments are credited against the amounts
otherwise due from the owner of the project, who makes monthly payments of the
balance.
-5-
<PAGE>
All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years
and no tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
Rents from commercial tenants (to which average rental per square
foot applies) comprise less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Partnership.
Rents for the residential units are determined annually by HUD and reflect
increases in consumer price indices in various geographic areas.
Management continuously reviews the physical state of the properties
and budgets improvements when required which are generally funded from cash
flow from operations or release of replacement reserve escrows. No
improvements are expected to require additional financing.
Management continuously reviews the insurance coverage of the
properties and believes such coverage is adequate.
See Item 1, Business, above for the general competitive conditions
to which the properties described above are subject.
Real estate taxes are calculated using rates and assessed valuations
determined by the township or city in which the property is located. Such
taxes have approximated 1% of the aggregate cost of the properties as shown in
Schedule III to the financial statements included herein.
In connection with investments in development-stage Apartment
Complexes, the General Partner generally requires that the general partners of
the Local Partnerships ("Local General Partners") provide completion
guarantees and/or undertake to repurchase the Partnership's interest in the
Local Partnership if construction or rehabilitation is not completed
substantially on time or on budget ("Development Deficit Guarantees"). The
Development Deficit Guarantees generally also require the Local General
Partner to provide any funds necessary to cover net operating deficits of the
Local Partnership until such time as the Apartment Complex has achieved
break-even operations. The General Partner generally requires that the 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
Development and Operating Deficit Guarantees, amounts funded will be treated
as Operating Loans which will 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. In some instances, the Local General Partners are required to
undertake an obligation to comply with a Rent-Up Guaranty Agreement, whereby
the Local General Partner agrees to pay liquidating damages if predetermined
occupancy rates are not achieved. These payments are made without right of
repayment. In cases where the General Partner deems it appropriate, the
obligations of a Local General Partner under the Development Deficit,
Operating Deficit and/or Rent-Up Guarantees are secured by letters of credit
and/or cash escrow deposits.
Housing Tax Credits with respect to a given Apartment Complex are
available for a ten-year period that commences when the property is placed
into service. However, the annual Tax Credits available in the year in which
the Apartment Complex is placed in service, must be prorated based upon the
months remaining in the year. The amount of the annual Tax 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 may be allocated Tax Credits only beginning in the month
following the month in which it acquired its interest and Tax Credits
allocated in any prior period are not available to the Partnership.

PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security
Holder Matters.
As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had issued and outstanding
58,928 Limited Partnership Interests, each representing a $1,000 capital
contribution to the Partnership, or an aggregate capital contribution of
$58,928,000 before volume discounts of $2,000. All of the issued and
outstanding Limited Partnership Interests have been issued to Independence
Assignor Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued
58,928 BACs to the purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of
$58,928,000 reduced by volume discounts of $2,000. 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.
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 Partner plans to impose limited
restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the Limited Partnership
Interests in secondary market transactions. Implementation of the restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing and may adversely
affect the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment quickly.
It is expected that such procedures will remain in effect until such time, if
ever, as further revision of the Revenue Act of 1987 may permit the
Partnership to lessen the scope of the restrictions.
As of March 31, 1997 the Partnership has approximately 3,855
registered holders of an aggregate of 58,928 BACs.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing
an aggregate capital contribution of $1,000, are held by the General Partner.
There are no material legal 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, 1997. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash
distributions to its BACs holders other than from net refinancing or sales
proceeds.
There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the
list of BACs holders of limited partnerships such as the Partnership. Often
these requests are made by a person who, only a short time before making the
request, acquired merely a small number of BACs in the partnership and seeks
the list for an improper purpose, a purpose that is not in the best interest
of the partnership or is harmful to the partnership. In order to best serve
and protect the interests of the Partnership and all of its investors, the
General Partner of the Partnership has adopted a policy with respect to
requests for the Partnership's list of BACs holders. This policy is intended
to protect investors from unsolicited and coercive offers to acquire BACs
holders' interests and does not limit any other rights the General Partner may
have under the Partnership Agreement or applicable law.

</TABLE>
During the year ended March 31, 1997, total assets decreased
primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulting from
construction in progress and acquisitions of property and equipment in excess
of net proceeds from mortgage and construction loans and also the repayments
of amounts due to local general partners and affiliates. This decrease in cash
and cash equivalents was partially offset by the increase in construction in
progress and acquisitions of property and equipment net of depreciation.
During the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, total assets and
liabilities increased primarily due to the continued acquisition of Local
Partnerships. Property and equipment increased approximately $37,000,000,
$22,000,000 and $22,000,000 for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Construction in progress decreased approximately $4,000,000 for
the year ended March 31, 1996 and increased approximately $19,000,000 and
$5,000,000 for the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Mortgage
notes increased approximately $16,000,000, $9,000,000 and $12,000,000 for the
years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Construction notes
increased approximately $18,000,000 and $1,000,000 for the years ended March
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Due to local general partners and affiliates
increased approximately $6,000,000 and $1,000,000 for the years ended March
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively (Note 8). For the year ended March 31, 1996,
the increase in property and equipment and construction in progress was
partially funded by capital contributions made to the Local Partnerships
resulting in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. For the year ended March
31, 1993, there was also an increase in assets due
-9-
<PAGE>
to capital contributions which were not fully expended. For the year ended
March 31, 1996, minority interest decreased due to distributions received by
the local general partners. Minority interest increased due to capital
contributions from local general partners for the years ended March 31, 1995
and 1994.
Cash Distributions
- ------------------
The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of
March 31, 1997.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Partnership's primary source of funds was the proceeds of its
offering. Other sources of funds include interest earned on such proceeds
which were invested in tax-exempt money market instruments pending acquisition
of Local Partnerships and a working capital reserve. The offering terminated
as of April 7, 1994. The Partnership has received $58,928,000 (including
volume discounts of $2,000) in gross proceeds for BACs pursuant to a public
offering resulting in net proceeds available for investment of approximately
$46,848,000 after volume discounts, payment of sales commissions, acquisition
fees and expenses, organization and offering expenses and establishment of a
working capital reserve.
As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership has invested approximately
$46,996,000 (not including acquisition fees of approximately $3,502,000) of
net proceeds in fifteen Local Partnerships of which approximately $4,267,000
remains to be paid (including approximately $1,232,000 being held in escrow)
as certain benchmarks, such as occupancy level, must be attained prior to the
release of the funds. The Partnership does not intend to acquire additional
properties. During the year ended March 31, 1997, approximately $5,136,000 was
paid (of which approximately $237,000 was released from escrow). An additional
$225,000 was placed into escrow for purchase price payments during the year
ended March 31, 1997. Although the Partnership will not be acquiring
additional properties, the Partnership may be required to fund potential
purchase price adjustments based on tax credit adjustor clauses. There have
been no purchase price adjustments during the year ended March 31, 1997.
For the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents
for the Partnership and its fifteen consolidated Local Partnerships decreased
approximately $9,025,000 primarily due to cash used in operating activities
($1,757,000), an increase in construction in progress ($7,548,000), a net
decrease in due to local general partners and affiliates ($3,035,000),
acquisitions of property and equipment (88,000), an increase in deferred costs
($146,000) and a decrease in capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest ($424,000) which exceeded net proceeds from
mortgage and construction loans ($3,960,000). Included in the adjustments to
reconcile the net loss to cash used in operating activities is depreciation
and amortization of approximately $3,061,000.
An original working capital reserve of approximately $1,473,000
(2.5% of gross equity) has been established from the Partnership's funds
available for investment. At March 31, 1997, approximately $493,000 of this
reserve remains unused. The General Partner believes that these reserves, plus
any cash distributions received from the operations of the Local Partnerships,
will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's ongoing operations for the
foreseeable future. During the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, amounts received from operations of the Local Partnerships were
approximately $0, $16,000 and $0. Management anticipates receiving
distributions in the future, although not to a level sufficient to permit
providing cash distributions to BACs holders.
The Partnership had negotiated development deficit guarantees with
the Local Partnerships in which it has invested. The Local General Partners
had agreed to fund development deficits through the breakeven dates of each of
the Local Partnerships, most of which were unlimited or in an unspecified
amount. As of March 31, 1997 and 1996, $59,035 and $59,035 had been funded
under the Development Deficit Guaranty Agreements. Although all development
deficit guarantees have expired as of March 31, 1997, management does not
expect a material impact on liquidity, based on prior years' fundings.
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements
with all Local Partnerships by which the general partners of the Local
Partnerships have agreed to fund operating deficits for a specified period of
time. The terms of the Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements vary for each
Local Partnership, with maximum dollar amounts to be funded for a specified
period of time, generally three years, commencing on the break-even date. The
gross amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregates approximately
$5,670,000, none of which have expired as of March 31, 1997. As of March 31,
1997 and 1996, 193,032 and $187,614 has been funded under the Operating
Deficit Guaranty agreements. All current operating deficit guarantees expire
within the next three years. Management does not expect their expiration to
have a material impact on liquidity, based on prior years' fundings.
-11-
<PAGE>
In addition, several Local Partnerships have Rent-Up Guaranty
Agreements, in which the Local General Partner agrees to pay liquidating
damages if predetermined occupancy rates are not achieved. The terms of the
Rent-Up Guaranty Agreements vary for each Local Partnership, with maximum
dollar amounts to be funded for a specified period of time. The gross amount
of unexpired Rent-Up Guarantees for the Local Partnerships is approximately
$700,000 as of March 31, 1997. All rent-up deficit guarantees expire within
the next three years. Management does not expect their expiration to have a
material impact on liquidity, based on prior years' fundings.
The Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements, Rent-Up Guaranty
Agreements, and Development Deficit Guaranty Agreements are 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.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to
approximately $115,000 and $27,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 1997
and March 31, 1996, respectively.
HUD previously released the American Community Partnerships Act (the
"ACPA"). The ACPA is HUD's blueprint for providing for the nation's housing
needs in an era of static or decreasing budget authority. Two key proposals in
the ACPA that could affect the Local Partnerships are: a discontinuation of
project-based Section 8 subsidy payments, and an attendant reduction in debt
in properties that were supported by the Section 8 payments. The ACPA calls
for a transition during which the project-based Section 8 payments would be
converted to a tenant-based voucher system. Any FHA insured debt would then be
"marked-to-market" that is revalued in light of the reduced income stream.
Several industry sources have commented to HUD and Congress that in
the event the ACPA was fully enacted in its present form, the reduction in
mortgage indebtedness would be considered taxable income to owners such as
limited partners in the Partnership. Legislative relief has been proposed to
exempt "marked-to-market" debt from cancellation of indebtedness income
treatment. At present, there are several bills pending in Congress to address
this tax relief issue. Additionally, in the interim, HUD has agreed to annual
extensions of any expiring project-based Section 8 contracts, but there is no
guarantee that such extensions will be available in the future.
For 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 subsidiary 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
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 diversification of the portfolio may not
protect against a general downturn in the national economy. The Partnership
has invested the proceeds of its offering in 15 Local Partnerships, all of
which fully have their tax credits in place. The tax credits are attached to
the project for a period of ten years, and are transferable with the property
during the remainder of the ten-year period. If trends in the real estate
market warranted the sale of a property, the remaining tax credits would
transfer to the new owner; thereby adding significant value to the property on
the market, which are not included in the financial statement carrying amount.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of". Under SFAS No. 121, the Partnership is required to review
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss should be recognized whenever the
review demonstrates that the book value of a long-lived asset is not
recoverable. Effective April 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 121,
consistent with the required adoption period.
Property and equipment are carried at the lower of depreciated cost
or estimated amounts recoverable through future operations and ultimate
disposition of the property. Cost includes the purchase price, acquisition
fees and expenses, and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. A
provision for loss on impairment of assets is recorded when estimated amounts
recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an
undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. Property investments themselves
are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash flows)
when the property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost
exceeds estimated fair value. Through March 31, 1997, the Partnership has not
recorded any provisions for loss on impairment of assets or reductions to
estimated fair value.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the
Partnership for the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 (the 1996, 1995
and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.)
The net loss for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years totaled
$4,015,612, $2,944,389 and $1,193,217, respectively.
The Partnership and BACs holders began to recognize Housing Tax
Credits with respect to a Property when the Credit Period for such Property
commenced. Because of the time required for the acquisition, completion and
rent-up of Properties, it is expected that the amount of Tax Credits per BAC
will gradually increase over the first three years of the Partnership. Housing
Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years will be recognized in the
11th through 13th years. The Partnership generated $6,399,740, $3,997,227 and
$624,796 Housing Tax Credits and $37,112, $619,383 and $1,962,743 Historic Tax
Credits during the 1996, 1995 and 1994 tax years, respectively.
1996 vs. 1995
- -------------
The Partnership's results of operations for the 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years consisted primarily of (1) approximately $198,000 and $440,000,
respectively, of tax-exempt interest income earned on funds not currently
invested in Local Partnerships and (2) the results of the Partnership's
investment in fifteen consolidated Local Partnerships.
For the year ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 1996, rental income
and all categories of expenses except general and administrative-related
parties increased and the results of operations are not comparable due to the
construction and rent up of properties. In addition, interest income will
continue to decrease in future periods as proceeds are released to the Local
Partnerships. Other income decreased approximately $292,000 for the year ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to 1996, primarily due to a decrease in interest
income as a result of the release of proceeds to the Local Partnerships.
General and administrative-related parties decreased approximately $251,000
for the year ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 1996, primarily due to a
decrease in partnership management fees payable to the General Partner. For
the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, five and seven of the Partnership's
fifteen consolidated properties, respectively, completed construction and were
in various stages of rent up. In addition, zero and two of the properties,
respectively, had completed construction in a previous fiscal year, but were
in various stages of rent up for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Also
for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, ten and one of the properties had
completed construction and were rented up in a previous fiscal year. As of the
end of the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, zero and five of the
Partnership's fifteen consolidated properties, respectively, were still under
construction and four and five of the properties, respectively, had
construction loans with commitments for permanent financing.
-13-
<PAGE>
1995 vs. 1994
- -------------
The Partnership's results of operations for the 1995 and 1994 Fiscal
Years consisted primarily of (i) $440,205 and $767,716, respectively, of
tax-exempt interest income earned on funds not currently invested in Local
Partnership's and (ii) the results of the Partnership's investment in fifteen
and thirteen Local Partnerships, respectively.
During the year ended March 31, 1996, rental income and all
categories of expenses increased and the results of operations are not
comparable or reflective of future operations due to the continued acquisition
construction and rent up of properties. In addition, interest income will
continue to decrease in future periods since all proceeds of the Offering have
been invested. For the year ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, seven and two of
the Partnership's fifteen and thirteen consolidated properties, respectively,
completed construction and were in various stages of rent up. In addition, two
and one of the properties, respectively, had completed construction in a
previous fiscal year, but were in various stages of rent up for the year ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995. Also for the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, one
and zero of the properties had completed construction and were rented up in a
previous fiscal year. As of the end of the years ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, five and ten of the Partnership's fifteen and thirteen consolidated
properties, respectively, were still under construction and five and nine of
the properties, respectively, had construction loans with commitments for
permanent financing.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
- ---------------------------------------------------
Clear Horizons Limited Partnership
- ----------------------------------
At December 31, 1996, Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear
Horizons") current liabilities exceed its current assets by over $88,000.
Although this condition could raise substantial doubt about Clear Horizons
ability to continue as a going concern, such doubt is alleviated as follows:
1. Included in current liabilities at December 31, 1996 is
$93,956 owed to related parties who do not intend to
pursue collection beyond Clear Horizon's ability to pay.
2. The general partner of Clear Horizons has agreed to fund
operating deficits up to $250,000.
Accordingly, management believes that Clear Horizons has the ability
to continue as a going concern for at least one year from December 31, 1996.
Clear Horizons is also named as a defendant in a lawsuit involving
the death of a person shot on the premises of the apartment project. Clear
Horizons' defense is being handled by its liability insurer. Legal counsel
believes that any settlement will be within insurance policy limits,
$3,000,000, and there will be no loss to Clear Horizons. The maximum loss
which the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in Clear
Horizons. The Partnership's investment in Clear Horizons at March 31, 1997 and
1996 was approximately $963,000 and $1,026,000, respectively, and the minority
interest balance was approximately $0 and $45,000, respectively. Clear
Horizons net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $63,000,
$27,000 and $6,500 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively.
United Germano-Millgate Limited Partnership
- -------------------------------------------
A former management agent had filed a $70,000 breach of contract
claim against United Germano Millgate ("United Germano") for utility expense
billings the former management company paid on United Germano's behalf prior
to 1991. During 1996, United Germano agreed to pay $47,000 under an
installment arrangement to reimburse these utility advances.
-14-
<PAGE>
Martha Bryant Manor, L.P.
- -------------------------
Martha Bryant Manor, L.P. ("Martha Bryant") agreed to an
out-of-court settlement resulting from an alleged breach of contract suit. The
settlement resulted in a loss of $164,860, which is included in general and
administrative expenses in the March 31, 1996 Financial Statements.
Other
- -----
The Partnership's investment as a limited partner in the Local
Partnerships is subject to the risks of potential losses arising from
management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership's
investments also could be adversely affected by poor economic conditions
generally, which could increase vacancy levels and rental payment defaults and
by increased operating expenses, any or all of which could threaten the
financing viability of one or more of the Local Partnerships.
There also are substantial risks associated with the operation of
Apartment Complexes receiving government assistance. These include
governmental regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more
difficult to rent apartments in the complexes; difficulties in obtaining
government approval for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of
income which low and moderate income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility
that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable the Department of Housing
and Urban Development 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 as, for example, for such
items as fuel, utilities and labor.
There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the
list of BACs holders of limited partnerships such as the Partnership. Often
these requests are made by a person who, only a short time before making the
request, acquired merely a small number of BACs in the partnership and seeks
the list for an improper purpose, a purpose that is not in the best interest
of the partnership or is harmful to the partnership. In order to best serve
and protect the interests of the Partnership and all of its investors, the
General Partner of the Partnership has adopted a policy with respect to
requests for the Partnership's list of BACs holders. This policy is intended
to protect investors from unsolicited and coercive offers to acquire BACs
holders' interests and does not limit any other rights the General Partner may
have under the Partnership Agreement or applicable law.

To the Partners of
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. II and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Independence Tax
Credit Plus L.P. II and Subsidiaries (a Delaware Limited Partnership) as of
March 31, 1997 and 1996, the related consolidated statements of operations and
changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 1997,
1996, and 1995 (the 1996, 1995 and 1994 Fiscal Years, respectively). The
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We did not audit the financial statements for fifteen (Fiscal 1996
and 1995) and thirteen (Fiscal 1994) subsidiary partnerships whose losses
aggregated $3,792,023, $2,533,349 and $1,148,796 for the 1996, 1995 and 1994
Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose assets constituted 94% and 91% of the
Partnership's assets at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, presented in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of
these subsidiary partnerships were audited by other auditors whose reports
thereon have been furnished to us and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as
it relates to the amounts included for these subsidiary partnerships, is based
solely upon the reports of the other auditors.
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 other
auditors the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Independence
Tax Credit Plus L.P. II and Subsidiaries at March 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - General
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. II (a Delaware limited partnership)
(the "Partnership") was organized on February 11, 1992 and commenced the public
offering on January 19, 1993. The general partner of the Partnership is Related
Independence Associates L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "General
Partner").
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
("Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, some of which complexes
may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit.
The Partnership has acquired interests in fifteen subsidiary
partnerships as of March 31, 1997.
The Partnership was authorized to issue a total of 100,000
($100,000,000) 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 a limited partnership interest. As of March 31, 1997, the
Partnership has raised a total of $58,928,000 (before volume discounts of
$2,000) representing 58,928 BACs. The offering was terminated on April 7, 1994.
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
partner.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and fifteen (1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years) and thirteen (1994 Fiscal
Year) subsidiary partnerships in which the Partnership is the principal limited
partner, with an ownership interest of 98.99%. 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 local partnerships. All intercompany
accounts and transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have been eliminated
in consolidation.
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 books and records of the Partnership are
maintained on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
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 interests' investment in a subsidiary partnership have been charged to
the Partnership. Such losses aggregated approximately $30,000, $17,000 and
$4,700 for the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 (the 1996, 1995 and
1994 Fiscal Years), respectively. The Partnership's investment in each
subsidiary 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.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of". Under SFAS No. 121, the Partnership is required to review long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss should be recognized whenever the review
demonstrates that the book value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable.
Effective April 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 121, consistent with
the required adoption period.
Property and equipment are carried at the lower of depreciated
cost or estimated amounts recoverable through future operations and ultimate
disposition of the property. Cost includes the purchase price, acquisition fees
and expenses, and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost
of property and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using
accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are
capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
assets and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such
disposition is reflected in earnings. A provision for loss on impairment of
assets is recorded when estimated amounts recoverable through future operations
and sale of the property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost.
Property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally
using discounted cash flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and
the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value. Through March 31, 1997, the
Partnership has not recorded any provisions for loss on impairment of assets or
reduction to estimated fair value.
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
(Note 9).
e) Organization and Offering Costs
Costs incurred to organize the Partnership, including but not
limited to legal, accounting and registration fees, are considered deferred
organization expenses. These costs are capitalized and are being amortized over
a 60-month period. Costs incurred to sell BACs, including brokerage and the
nonaccountable expense allowance, are considered selling and offering expenses.
These costs are charged directly to limited partners' capital (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.
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
nontrading purposes) for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Held in Escrow
-------------------------------------------------
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Mortgage Notes Payable
----------------------
The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated, where
practicable, based on the borrowing rate currently available for similar loans.
The estimated fair values of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable
are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
March 31, 1997 March 31, 1996

Not Practicable $38,509,356 * $36,342,695 *
</TABLE>
*Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of
the mortgage notes payable because mortgage programs with similar
characteristics are not currently available to the partnerships.
The carrying amount of other assets and liabilities reported on the
statement of financial position that require such disclosure approximates fair
value.

The mortgage and construction notes are payable in aggregate monthly
installments of approximately $106,000 including principal and interest at rates
varying from 0% to 9.65% per annum, through the year 2039. Each subsidiary
partnership's mortgage note payable is collateralized by the land and buildings
of the respective subsidiary partnership, the assignment of each certain
subsidiary partnership's rents and leases, and is without further recourse.
One mortgage note with a balance of $5,506,886 and $5,826,427 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, which bears interest at 7% per annum
was eligible for an interest rate subsidy. Accordingly, the subsidiary
partnership paid only that portion of the monthly payments that would be
required if the interest rate was 1%. The balance was subsidized under Section
236 of the National Housing Act.
Annual principal payment requirements for mortgage notes payable for
each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

Certain subsidiary partnerships have outstanding letters of credit
totaling $162,400 at December 31, 1996, as required under the terms of the

NOTE 8 - Related Party Transactions
An affiliate of the General Partner has a .01% interest as a special
limited partner in each of the subsidiary partnerships. An affiliate of the
General Partner also has a minority interest in certain local limited
partnerships.
The General Partner and its affiliates perform services for the
Partnership. The costs incurred for the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 are as follows:
A) Acquisition Fees and Expenses
The General Partner is entitled to an acquisition fee equal to 6%
of the gross proceeds of the offering paid upon investor closing, for its
services in connection with the selection and evaluation of Local Partnerships.
Such fees are capitalized as a cost of the investments upon closing of
subsidiary partnerships acquisitions. As of March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
$3,535,680, $3,535,680 and $3,535,560, of such costs have been incurred,
respectively.
B) Public Offering Costs
Costs incurred to organize the Partnership and certain costs of
offering the BACs including but not limited to legal, accounting, and
registration fees are considered organization and offering expenses. Related
Equities Corporation, the Dealer Manager, is entitled to a non-accountable
organization and offering expense allowance equal to 2.5% of Gross Proceeds, in
consideration of which it is obligated to pay all such expenses up to the amount
of such allowance. The Partnership is obligated to pay all such expenses that
are in excess of 2.5% of Gross Proceeds and up to 3.5% of Gross Proceeds. The
Dealer Manager is responsible for all such expenses in excess of 3.5% of Gross
Proceeds. The selling commissions and a non-accountable marketing expense
allowance are considered offering expenses. These costs are charged directly to
limited partners' capital. As of March 31, 1997, total organization and offering
costs were approximately $2,115,000, of which approximately $53,000 was charged
to the Dealer Manager since it is in excess of 3.5%.

NOTE 8 - Related Party Transactions (Continued)
D) Guarantees
The Partnership had negotiated development deficit guarantees
with the subsidiary partnerships in which it has invested. The Local General
Partners had agreed to fund development deficit through the breakeven dates of
each of the subsidiary partnerships, most of which were unlimited or in an
unspecified amount. Amounts received under development deficit guarantees from
the developers of the properties purchased by the Partnership are treated as a
reduction of the asset. Although all development deficit guarantees have expired
as of March 31, 1997, management does not expect their expiration to have a
material impact on liquidity, based on prior years' fundings.
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty
Agreements with all subsidiary partnerships by which the general partners of the
subsidiary partnerships have agreed to fund operating deficits for a specified
period of time. The terms of the Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements vary for
each subsidiary partnership, with maximum dollar amounts to be funded for a
specified period of time, generally three years, commencing on the break-even
date. The gross amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregates
approximately $5,670,000, none of which have expired as of March 31, 1997. As of
March 31, 1997 and 1996, $193,032 and $187,614 has been funded under the
Operating Deficit Guaranty agreements. Amounts funded under such agreements are
treated as non-interest bearing loans, which will be repaid only out of 50% of
available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds.
In addition, several subsidiary partnerships have Rent-Up
Guaranty Agreements, in which the Local General Partner agrees to pay
liquidating damages if predetermined occupancy rates are not achieved. The terms
of the Rent-Up Guaranty Agreements vary for each subsidiary partnership, with
maximum dollar amounts to be funded for a specified period of time. The gross
amount of unexpired Rent-Up Guarantees for the subsidiary partnerships is
approximately $700,000 as of March 31, 1997. There have not been any fundings
under these guaranty agreements. Amounts received under rental guarantees from
the sellers of the properties purchased by the Partnership are treated as a
reduction of the asset.
The Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements, Rent-Up Guaranty
Agreements and Development Deficit Guaranty Agreements were negotiated to
protect the Partnership's interest in the subsidiary partnerships and to provide
incentive to the local general partners to generate positive cash flow.
E) Other Related Party Expenses
The costs incurred to related parties for the years ended March

(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 from working capital reserves or 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 $115,000 and $27,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 1997
and March 31, 1996, respectively.
(b) The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and its affiliates

1991. During 1996, United Germano agreed to pay $47,000 under an installment
arrangement to reimburse these utility advances.
Martha Bryant Manor, L.P.
-------------------------
Martha Bryant Manor, L.P. ("Martha Bryant") agreed to an
out-of-court settlement resulting from an alleged breach of contract suit. The
settlement resulted in a loss of $164,860, which is included in general and
administrative expenses in the March 31, 1996 Financial Statements.
b) Subsidiary Partnerships-Other
Clear Horizons Limited Partnership
----------------------------------
At December 31, 1996, Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear
Horizons") current liabilities exceed its current assets by over $88,000.
Although this condition could raise substantial doubt about Clear Horizons
ability to continue as a going concern, such doubt is alleviated as follows:
1. Included in current liabilities at December 31, 1996 is
$93,956 owed to related parties who do not intend to pursue
collection beyond Clear Horizon's ability to pay.
2. The general partner of Clear Horizons has agreed to fund
operating deficits up to $250,000.
Accordingly, management believes that Clear Horizons has the
ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from December 31,
1996.
c) Uninsured Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents in
various banks. The accounts at each bank are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At March 31, 1997, uninsured cash and cash
equivalents approximated $3,538,000.

d) Letters of Credit
As of December 31, 1996, the subsidiary partnerships were
contingently liable on open letters of credit as follows:
Description Amount

Development contingency $ 62,400
Rent reduction escrow 100,000
--------
$162,400
========
e) Other
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential
losses arising from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The
Partnership can also be affected by poor economic conditions generally, however
no more than 34% 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.
The Partnership and BACs holders will begin to recognize Housing
Tax Credits with respect to a Property when the Credit Period for such Property
commences. Because of the time required for the acquisition, completion and
rent-up of Properties, it is expected that the amount of Tax Credits per BAC
will gradually increase over the first three years of the Partnership. Housing
Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years will be recognized in the
11th through 13th years. For the 1996, 1995 and 1994 tax years, Housing Tax
Credits of $6,399,740, $3,997,227 and $624,796 were generated and $37,112,
$619,383 and $1,962,743 of Historic Tax Credits were generated, respectively.

At the time the Local Partnerships were acquired by Independence Tax Credit Plus
II Limited Partnership, the entire purchase price paid by Independence Tax
Credit Plus II Limited Partnership was pushed down to the Local Partnerships as
property and equipment with an offsetting credit to capital. Since the projects
were in the construction phase at the time of acquisition, the capital accounts
were insignificant at the time of purchase. Therefore, there are no material
differences between the original cost basis for tax and GAAP.
