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 ("RIAI").
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"). The Partnership received $58,928,000 of gross proceeds
from the Offering (the "Gross Proceeds") from 3,475 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, 2000, the Partnership had acquired interests
in fifteen Local Partnerships and does not anticipate making any additional
investments. As of March 31, 2000, 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 $890,000 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 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 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 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, 2000. 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 in construction phase

All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years and no

-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
suggests to the respective Local General Partners budget improvements which are
generally funded from cash flow from operations or release of replacement
reserve escrows.
Management 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 was 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, 2000), Operating Deficit (all current
operating deficits expire within the next year) and/or Rent-Up Guarantees (all
rent-up deficit guarantees have expired as of March 31, 2000) 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, 2000, 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 has imposed limited
restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the Limited Partnership
Interests in secondary market transactions. Implementation of the restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing and may adversely affect
the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment quickly. It is
expected that these 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, 2000, the Partnership has approximately 3,485 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. However, the Partnership has
made no distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31, 2000. The Partnership
does not anticipate providing cash distributions to its BACs holders other than
from net refinancing or sales proceeds.

</TABLE>
During the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, total assets decreased primarily
due to depreciation partially offset by improvements to property and equipment.
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 year ended March 31, 1996, total assets and liabilities
increased primarily due to the continued acquisition of Local Partnerships.
Property and equipment increased approximately $37,000,000 for the year ended
March 31, 1996. Construction in progress decreased approximately $19,000,000 and
$4,000,000 for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. 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 years ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, minority interest decreased due to distributions received by
the local general partners.

of Operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL
The Partnership's primary source of funds is a working capital reserve and
interest thereon. This source of funds is available to meet obligations of the
Partnership.
As of March 31, 2000, 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 $890,000 remains to be paid
(including approximately $631,000 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. 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 were no such adjustments during the year ended March 31,
2000.
For the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents for the
Partnership and its fifteen consolidated Local Partnerships decreased
approximately $80,000. This decrease is primarily due to improvements to
property and equipment ($172,000), principal payments of mortgage notes
($352,000), a decrease in cash held in escrow from investing activities
($279,000) and a decrease in capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest ($73,000) which exceeded cash provided by
operating activities ($790,000) and a net increase in due to local general
partners and affiliates relating to investing and financing activities
($13,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash
provided by operating activities is depreciation and amortization ($3,584,000).
At March 31, 2000, there is a balance of approximately $247,000 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 (subject to the continued deferral of fees payable to the General
Partner) to fund the Partnership's ongoing operations for the foreseeable
future. During the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
amounts received from operations of the Local Partnerships were approximately
$70,000, $66,000 and $52,000. 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 $1,205,000 and $659,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively (see Note 8). Without the General Partners' advances
and continued accrual without payment of certain fees and expense
reimbursements, the Partnership will not be in a position to meet its
obligations. The General Partner has continued advancing and allowing the
accrual without payment of these amounts but is under no obligation to continue
to do so.
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, $4,700,000 of
which has expired as of March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000 and 1999, $365,409
and $356,207 has been funded under the Operating Deficit Guaranty agreements.
All current oper-
-9-
<PAGE>
ating deficit guarantees expire within the next year. Management does not expect
their expiration to have a material impact on liquidity, based on prior years'
fundings.
For a discussion of contingencies affecting certain Local Partnerships, see
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships, below. Since the maximum
loss the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in the respective
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
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, 2000, 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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (the 1999, 1998 and 1997 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 1999, 1998 and 1997 Fiscal Years totaled $4,914,664,
$4,721,113 and $9,211,907, respectively.
The Partnership and BACs holders began to recognize Tax Credits with respect to
a Property when the Credit Period for such Property commenced. Because of the
time required for the
-10-
<PAGE>
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 $8,728,115 , $8,806,766 and
$8,533,019 of Housing Tax Credits during the 1999, 1998 and 1997 tax years,
respectively.
1999 VS. 1998
The Partnership's results of operations for the 1999 and 1998 Fiscal Years
consisted primarily of the results of the Partnership's investment in fifteen
consolidated Local Partnerships. The majority of Local Partnership income
continues to be in the form of rental income with the corresponding expenses
being divided among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.
Rental income increased approximately 4% for the year ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to 1999 primarily due to rental rate increases.
Total expenses, excluding repairs and maintenance, taxes and financial interest,
remained fairly consistent with a decrease of approximately 2% for the year
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to 1999.
Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $264,000 for the year ended
March 31, 2000 as compared to 1999 primarily due to interior painting and vinyl
floor replacement at one Local Partnership, tile, carpet and kitchen cabinet
replacement at a second Local Partnership and the hiring of a full time
landscaper along with increased security at a third Local Partnership.
Taxes increased approximately $81,000 for the year ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to 1999 primarily due to property tax exemptions received at one Local
Partnership in the year ended March 31, 1999.
Financial interest increased approximately $297,000 for the year ended March 31,
2000 as compared to 1999 primarily due to a prior period adjustment for
construction interest at one Local Partnership in the year ended March 31, 1999.
1998 VS. 1997
The Partnership's results of operations for the 1998 and 1997 Fiscal Years
consisted primarily of the results of the Partnership's investment in fifteen
consolidated Local Partnerships. The majority of Local Partnership income
continues to be in the form of rental income with the corresponding expenses
being divided among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.
Rental income increased less than 1% for the year ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to 1998 primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income decreased approximately $38,000 for the year ended March 31, 1999
as compared to 1998 primarily due to lower cash and cash equivalent balances at
the Partnership level.
Total expenses, excluding general and administrative-related parties, insurance,
financial interest and loss on impairment of assets remained fairly consistent
with a decrease of less than 1% for the year ended March 31, 1999 as compared to
1998.
General and administrative-related parties increased approximately $478,000 for
the year ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 1998 primarily due to an increase
in Partnership management fees payable to the General Partner.
-11-
<PAGE>
Insurance expense decreased approximately $89,000 for the year ended March 31,
1999 as compared to 1998 primarily due to a reduction in coverage at two Local
Partnerships, a change in the insurance carrier at a third Local Partnership and
a reduction in insurance premium at a fourth Local Partnership.
Financial interest expense decreased approximately $925,000 for the year ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to 1998 primarily due to an over accrual of interest
at one Local Partnership for the year ended March 31, 1998.
A loss on impairment of assets amounting to $3,926,000 was recorded at one Local
Partnership for the year ended March 31, 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CERTAIN LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS
CLEAR HORIZONS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
At December 31, 1999, Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear Horizons")
current liabilities exceed its current assets by over $127,000. 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, 1999, is $135,994 owed to
related parties who have advised Clear Horizons that they do not intend to
pursue collection beyond Clear Horizons' ability to pay.
2. The Local 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, 1999.
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.

(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, 2000
and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998 (the 1999, 1998 and 1997 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 1999,
1998 and 1997) subsidiary partnerships whose losses aggregated $4,170,745,
$3,860,136 and $8,886,716 for the 1999, 1998 and 1997 Fiscal Years,
respectively, and whose assets constituted 96% of the Partnership's assets at
March 31, 2000 and 1999, 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

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information on pages 23 through 34
is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements. Such information, except for that portion marked
"unaudited," on which we express no opinion, has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the "Consolidated Audit
Guide for Audits of HUD Programs," we have also issued reports dated January 31,
1998 on our consideration of Renaissance Plaza 93 Associates, L.P.'s internal
control and on its compliance with requirements applicable to CDA programs, fair
housing and non-discrimination and laws and regulations applicable to the
financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Clear Horizons Limited Partnership
Shreveport, Louisiana
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Clear Horizons Limited
Partnership, at December 31, 1998, and the related statements of income, capital
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Clear
Horizons Limited Partnership, at December 31, 1998 and the results of its
operations, changes in capital, and cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made primarily for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 taken as a whole. The
supplementary Schedules 1 through 6 are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the audit procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the Consolidated Audit
Guide for Audits of HUD Programs issued by the U. S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development, we have also issued a report dated February 12, 1999 on our
consideration of Clear Horizons Limited Partnership's internal control, and
reports dated February 12, 1999, on its compliance with laws and regulations,
compliance with specific requirements applicable to Affirmative Fair Housing,

INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. II
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
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,
2000.
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. The Partnership 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.
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest arises from cash contributions and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.
-63-
<PAGE>
INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. II
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
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 $32,000, $29,000 and $80,000 for the years
ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (the 1999, 1998 and 1997 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, 2000, 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) Offering Costs
Costs incurred to sell BACs, including brokerage and the nonaccountable expense
allowance, are considered selling and offering expenses. These costs are charged
directly to limited partners' capital (Note 8).

f) Loss Contingencies
The Partnership records loss contingencies as a charge to income when
information becomes available which indicates that it is probable that an asset
has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the
financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
h) Recent Pronouncements
In April 1998, the AICPA issued S0P No. 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities." S0P No. 98.5, which was adopted April 1, 1999, requires that costs
of start-up activities including organizational costs be expensed as incurred.
In addition, at the time of adoption the unamortized balance of any previously
deferred organizational costs must be expensed. This adoption resulted in
$58,524 being fully expensed and included in depreciation and amortization on
the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2000.
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:

*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, 2000 and
1999.
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, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Such fees
have been included in the cost of property and equipment.
Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
amounted to $3,452,322, $3,508,040 and $3,405,027, respectively.
During Fiscal Year 1999, $6,791 of accumulated depreciation was written off.
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 8 - Related Party Transactions
An affiliate of the General Partner has a .01% interest as a special limited

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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:
A) Guarantees
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, $4,450,000 of which has
expired at March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000 and 1999, $375,828 and $356,207
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.

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%

CLEAR HORIZONS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
At December 31, 1999, Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear Horizons")
current liabilities exceed its current assets by over $127,000. 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, 1999 is $135,994 owed to
related parties who have advised Clear Horizons that they do not intend to
pursue collection beyond Clear Horizons' ability to pay.

2. The Local 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, 1999.
b) 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, 2000, uninsured cash and cash
equivalents approximated $529,000.
c) Letters of Credit
As of December 31, 1999, the subsidiary partnerships were contingently liable on
open letters of credit as follows:

d) Other
The Partnership and BACs holders began to recognize 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 1999, 1998 and 1997
tax years, Housing Tax Credits of $8,728,115, $8,806,766 and $8,533,019 were
generated, respectively.

determines with regard to any proposal (i) to remove the General Partner as a
general partner of the Partnership or (ii) concerning the reduction of any fees,
profits, distributions or allocations for the benefit of the General Partner or
its affiliates. The addresses of each of the Partnership, Lehigh I and the
General Partner is 625 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

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.
