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"). As of March 31, 1998 the Partnership has received
$58,928,000 of Gross Proceeds of the Offering from 3,473 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, 1998 the Partnership acquired interests in
fifteen Local Partnerships and does not anticipate making any additional
investments. As of March 31, 1998, approximately $47,000,000 (not including
acquisition fees of approximately $3,502,000) of net proceeds has been invested
in fifteen Local Partnerships of which approximately $1,916,000 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.
Investment Objectives/Government Incentives
The Partnership was 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.
-2-
<PAGE>
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 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.
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. 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 its 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").
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership holds a 98.99% limited partnership interest in fifteen Local
Partnerships as of March 31, 1998. Set forth below is a schedule of the Local
Partnerships including certain information concerning their respective Apartment
Complexes (the "Local Partnership Schedule"). Further information concerning
these Local Partnerships and their properties, including any encumbrances
affecting the properties, may be found in Item 14. Schedule III.

*Properties still in construction phase
(1) Properties are in rent-up phase.
All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years and no
tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
-4-
<PAGE>
Rents from commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies)
comprise less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Partnership. Maximum
allowable rents for the residential units are determined annually by HUD.
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 required 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 required 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 had achieved break-even operations. The General Partner
generally required 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 have
been 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 (all of
which have expired as of March 31, 1998), Operating Deficit (all current
operating deficits expire within the next three years) and/or Rent-Up Guarantees
(all rent-up deficit guarantees expire within the next two years) 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.

This information is incorporated by reference to the discussion of Clear
Horizons in the Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships contained in

of Operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters.
As of March 31, 1998, 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, 1998 the Partnership has approximately 3,473 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,
1998. 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,
-6-
<PAGE>
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, 1998, total assets decreased primarily due to
depreciation, loss on impairment of assets and the repayments of amounts due to
local general partners and affiliates, partially offset by improvements to
property and equipment. 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 $19,000,000 and
$4,000,000 for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
increased approximately $19,000,000 and $5,000,000 for the years ended March 31,
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 partner 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
-8-
<PAGE>
and cash equivalents. For the years ended March 31, 1997 and 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 13, 1995 and 1994.
Cash Distributions
The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31,
1998.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Partnership's primary source of funds include interest earned on proceeds
from the offering which were invested in tax-exempt money market instruments
pending final payments to Local Partnerships and a working capital reserve and
interest thereon. All these sources of funds are available to meet obligations
of the Partnership.
As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership has invested approximately $47,000,000
(not including acquisition fees of approximately $3,502,000) of net proceeds in
fifteen Local Partnerships of which approximately $1,916,000 remains to be paid
(including approximately $758,000 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, 1998, approximately $2,355,000 was paid (of which approximately
$520,000 was released from escrow). An additional $46,000 was placed into escrow
for purchase price payments during the year ended March 31, 1998. 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. Such adjustments resulted in a net increase in purchase price
of approximately $15,000 during the year ended March 31, 1998.
For the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 1998, cash and cash equivalents for the
Partnerships and its fifteen consolidated Local Partnerships decreased
approximately $1,971,000. This decrease is primarily due to cash used in
operating activities ($167,000), a net decrease in due to local general partners
and affiliates relating to investing and financing activities ($710,000),
improvements to property and equipment ($694,000), net principal payments from
mortgage notes and construction loans ($582,000), a decrease in capitalization
of consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($11,000) and an
increase in deferred costs ($35,000) which exceeded an increase in cash held in
escrow from investing activities ($227,000). Included in the adjustments to
reconcile the net loss to cash used in operating activities is depreciation and
amortization ($3,519,000) and a loss on impairment of assets of approximately
$3,926,000.
At March 31, 1998, there is a balance of approximately $337,000 in the working
capital reserve. The General Partner believes that these reserves, plus 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, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
amounts received from operations of the Local Partnerships were approximately
$52,000, $0 and $16,000. Management anticipates receiving distributions in the
future, although not to a level sufficient to permit providing cash
distributions to BACs holders.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to
approximately $163,000 and $113,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively (see Note 8). 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).
-10-
<PAGE>
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, 1998 and 1997, $0 and $59,035 had been funded under the Development
Deficit Guaranty Agreements. Although all development deficit guarantees have
expired as of March 31, 1998, 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, 1998. As of March 31, 1998 and 1997, 278,908 and
$193,032 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.
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 $177,000 as of
March 31, 1998. All rent-up deficit guarantees expire within the next two 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.
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
-11-
<PAGE>
tax credits would transfer to the new owner; thereby adding significant value to
the property on the market, which are not included in the financial statement
carrying amount.
Results of Operations
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the
time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated
depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in
earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates
amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an
undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time property investments
themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash
flows).
Through March 31, 1998, the Partnership has recorded approximately $3,926,000 as
a loss on impairment of assets.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively). The net loss for the 1997 Fiscal Year includes a loss on
impairment of assets of approximately $3,926,000 (see Note 4 in Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data).
The net loss for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years totaled $9,211,907,
$4,015,612 and $2,944,389, 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, the amount of Tax Credits per BAC gradually increased 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 $8,454,368, $6,399,740 and $3,997,227 Housing Tax Credits and $0,
$37,112 and $619,383 Historic Tax Credits during the 1997, 1996 and 1995 tax
years, respectively.
1997 vs. 1996
The Partnership's results of operations for the 1997 and 1996 Fiscal Years
consisted primarily of (1) approximately $75,000 and $198,000 respectively of
tax-exempt interest income earned on funds not invested in Local Partnerships
and (2) the results of the Partnership's investment in fifteen consolidated
Local Partnerships.
For the year ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 1997, rental income and all
categories of expenses increased and the results of operations are not
comparable due to the 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 $105,000 as compared to 1997
primarily due to a decrease in interest income as a result of the release of
proceeds to the Local Partnerships. For the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
zero and five of the Partnership's fifteen consolidated properties,
respectively, completed construction and were in various stages of rent up. In
addition for the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, thirteen and ten of the
properties had completed construction and were rented up in a previous fiscal
year. As of March 31, 1998 and 1997, none of the Partnership's fifteen
consoli-
-12-
<PAGE>
ated properties were still under construction and zero and four of the
properties, respectively, had construction loans with commitments for permanent
financing.
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 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.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
Clear Horizons Limited Partnership
At December 31, 1997, Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear Horizons")
current liabilities exceed its current assets by over $90,000. 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, 1997 is $108,619 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, 1997.
Clear Horizons is also named as a defendant in a lawsuit involving the wrongful
death of a person 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, 1998 and 1997 was approximately
$921,000 and $963,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance was $0.
Clear Horizons net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately
$52,000, $63,000 and $27,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years,
respectively.

Year 2000 Compliance
As the year 2000 approaches, an issue has emerged regarding how existing
application software programs and operating systems can accommodate this date
value. Failure to adequately address this issue could have potentially serious
repercussions. The General Partner is in the process of working with the
Partnership's service providers to prepare for the year 2000. Based on
information currently available, the Partnership does not expect that it will
incur significant operating expenses or be required to incur material costs to
be year 2000 compliant.
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, 1998, 1997 and
1996 (the 1997, 1996 and 1995 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 1997,
1996 and 1995) subsidiary partnerships whose losses aggregated $8,886,716,
$3,792,023 and $2,533,349 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years,
respectively, and whose assets constituted 95% and 94% of the Partnership's
assets at March 31, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. II
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
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 interests in fifteen subsidiary partnerships as of March 31,
1998.
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, 1998, the Partnership has raised a
total of $58,928,000 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 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. The Partnership's fiscal year ends March 31, in order to allow adequate time
for the subsidiaries financial statements to be prepared and consolidated. The
books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All
subsidiaries have fiscal years ending December 31. Accounts of the subsidiaries
have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1 through March
31.

INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. II
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
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. 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 $80,000, $30,000 and $17,000 for the years
ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years),
respectively. In consolidation, all subsidiary partnership losses are included
in the Partnership's capital account except for losses allocated to minority
interest capital.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments
in short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of
three months or less. Cash held in escrow has various use restrictions and is
not considered a cash equivalent.
c) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the
time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated
depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in
earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates
amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an
undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time, property
investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using
discounted cash flows).
Through March 31, 1998, the Partnership has recorded a loss on impairment of
assets of approximately $3,926,000.
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 bro-
-23-

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
kerage 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>

Not Practicable $58,045,374 * $38,509,356 *
</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 financial instruments that require such disclosure
approximates fair value.

Included in property and equipment is $3,501,977 of acquisition fees paid to the
General Partner and $867,942 of acquisition expenses as of March 31, 1998 and
1997.
In connection with the rehabilitation of the properties, the subsidiary
partnerships have incurred developer's fees of $9,282,042 to the local general
partners and affiliates as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Such fees
have been included in the cost of property and equipment.
Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 amounted
to $3,405,027, $2,969,828 and $2,101,923, respectively.
On December 31, 1997, the building owned by Colden Oaks Limited Partnership was
deemed to be impaired and written down to estimated fair value. The impairment
loss was determined to be $3,925,514 and has been charged to operations in the
1997 Fiscal Year. Management has determined that, due to the need to continue to
provide low income rents to comply with Internal Revenue Service requirements to
receive federal low income housing tax credits and the accumulation of
significant construction costs, the value of the Colden Oaks apartment building
is determined to be impaired. The amount of the asset write-down was measured as
the amount by which the carrying amount of the apartment building exceeded its
fair market value.

NOTE 7 - Mortgage Notes Payable
The mortgage notes are payable in aggregate monthly installments of
approximately $146,000 including principal and interest at rates ranging from 0%
to 9.65% per annum, from the year 2003 through the year 2052. 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 $5,344,868 and $5,505,886 at December 31,
1997 and 1996, 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

The mortgage agreements require monthly deposits to replacement reserves of

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, 1998, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:
A) Acquisition Fees and Expenses
The General Partner was paid 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
have been capitalized as a cost of the investments upon closing of subsidiary
partnerships' acquisitions. As of March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, $3,535,680, of
such costs have been incurred, respectively.
B) 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 deficits through the break-even 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 have been treated as a
reduction of the asset. Although all development deficit guarantees have expired
as of March 31, 1998, management does not expect their expiration to have a
material impact on liquidity, based on prior years' fundings.
-27-
<PAGE>
INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. II
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements with all
subsidiary partnerships by which the Local General Partners 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, 1998. As of March 31, 1998 and 1997, $278,908 and
$193,032 has been funded under the Operating Deficit Guaranty agreements.
Amounts funded under such agreements are treated as noninterest bearing loans,
which will be repaid only out of 50% of available cash flow or out of available
net sale or refinancing proceeds.
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
$177,000 as of March 31, 1998. 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.
C) Other Related Party Expenses
The costs incurred to related parties for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997

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 contribu-

of cash flow). Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting
to approximately $164,000 and $115,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31,
1998 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 by subsidiary partnerships amounted to
$547,120, $439,375 and $301,751 for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and

NOTE 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
a) Subsidiary Partnerships-Litigation
Clear Horizons Limited Partnership
Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear Horizons")is named as a defendant in
a lawsuit involving the wrongful death of a person 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, 1998
and 1997 was approximately $921,000 and $963,000, respectively, and the minority
interest balance was $0. Clear Horizons' net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $52,000, $63,000 and $27,000 for the 1997, 1996 and
1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.

<PAGE>
b) Subsidiary Partnerships-Other
Clear Horizons Limited Partnership
At December 31, 1997, Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear Horizons")
current liabilities exceed its current assets by over $90,000. 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, 1997 is $108,619 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, 1997.
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, 1998, uninsured cash and cash
equivalents approximated $1,686,000.
d) Letters of Credit
As of December 31, 1997, the subsidiary partnerships were contingently liable on
open letters of credit as follows:
Description Amount
- - ----------- ------
Development contingency $ 22,400
Rent reduction escrow 100,000

$122,400

e) Other
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, the amount of Tax Credits per BAC has gradually increased 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
1997, 1996 and 1995 tax years, Housing Tax Credits of $8,454,368, $6,399,740 and
$3,997,227 were generated and $0, $37,112 and $619,383 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.
