FREEDOM TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2002
(Unaudited)

Note 1 - General

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Freedom Tax Credit
Plus L.P. ("the Partnership") and 42 subsidiary partnerships ("subsidiaries",
"subsidiary partnerships" or "Local Partnerships") in which the Partnership is a
Limited Partner. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or an affiliate of a
General Partner, which affiliate has a contractual obligation to act on behalf
of the Partnership, to remove the general partner of the Local Partnerships and
to approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has
a controlling financial interest in the Local Partnerships.

The Partnership's fiscal quarter ends December 31. All subsidiaries have fiscal
quarters ending September 30 in order to allow adequate time for the
subsidiaries' financial statements to be prepared and consolidated. Accounts of
the subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from October 1
through December 31.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest arise from cash contributions from and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.

Losses attributable to minority interests aggregated approximately $9,000,
$10,000, $30,000 and $31,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively. The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary is
generally equal to the respective subsidiary's partners' equity less minority
interest capital, if any.

The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. In the opinion of the General Partners of the
Partnership, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31,
2002, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31,
2002 and 2001 and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 and

2001. However, the operating results and cash flows for the nine months ended
December 31, 2002 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been omitted or condensed. These condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 2002.

(a) The General Partners are entitled to receive a partnership management fee,
after payment of all Partnership expenses, which together with the annual local
administrative fees, will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of invested
assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), for administering the affairs
of the Partnership. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the partnership
management fee will be determined by the General Partners in their sole
discretion based upon their review of the Partnership's 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 and
BACs holders of sale or refinancing proceeds equal to their original capital

contributions plus a 10% priority return thereon (to the extent not theretofore
paid out of cash flow). Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners
amounting to approximately $5,363,000 and $4,856,000 were accrued and unpaid as
of December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively. Without the General
Partners' continued accrual without payment, the Partnership will not be in a
position to meet its obligations. The General Partners have continued allowing
the accrual without payment of these amounts, but are under no obligation to
continue to do so. The Partnership is dependent upon the support of the General
Partners and certain of their affiliates in order to meet its obligations at the
Partnership level. The General Partners and these affiliates have agreed to
continue such support for the foreseeable future.

(b) The Partnership reimburses the General Partners and their affiliates for
actual Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partners and their
affiliates on the Partnership's behalf. The amount of reimbursement from the
Partnership is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Another
affiliate of the General Partners performs asset monitoring for the Partnership.
These services include site visits and evaluations of the subsidiary
partnerships' performance.

(c) Freedom SLP L.P., a special limited partner of the subsidiary partnerships,
is entitled to receive an annual local administrative fee of up to $2,500 per
year from each subsidiary partnership.

(d) Property management fees incurred by subsidiary partnerships amounted to
$249,927, $251,954, $760,746 and $749,281 for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Of these fees, $190,864, $160,685,
$574,589 and $479,852, respectively, were incurred to affiliates of the
subsidiary partnerships' general partners for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

11


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Partnership's sources of funds during the nine months ended December 31,
2002, include working capital reserves, interest earned on working capital and
distributions received from the Local Partnerships. None of these sources
generated substantial amounts of funds.

A working capital reserve of approximately $60,000, exclusive of Local
Partnerships' working capital, remains as of December 31, 2002.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the distributions
received from the Local Partnerships approximated $52,000 and $1,000,
respectively. Cash distributions from Local Partnerships are not expected to
reach a level sufficient to permit cash distributions to BACs holders. These
distributions as well as the working capital reserves referred to in the
preceding paragraph and the continued deferral by the General Partners of fees
owed to them will be used to meet the operating expenses of the Partnership.

Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounting to
approximately $5,363,000 and $4,856,000 were accrued and unpaid as of December
31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively. Without the General Partners
continued accrual without payments, the Partnership will not be in a position to
meet its obligations. The General Partners have continued allowing the accrual
without payment of these amounts, but are under no obligation to do so. The
Partnership is dependent upon the support of the General Partners and certain of
their affiliates in order to meet its obligations at the Partnership level. The
General Partners and these affiliates have agreed to continue such support for
the foreseeable future.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, cash and cash equivalents of the
Partnership and its forty-two consolidated Local Partnerships increased
approximately $678,000 due to cash provided by operating activities ($1,524,000)
which exceeded acquisitions of property and equipment ($408,000), a decrease in
capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest
($17,000) and repayments of mortgage notes ($421,000). Included in the

12


adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash provided by operating activities
is depreciation and amortization of approximately $3,784,000.

Management is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties,
which have not otherwise been disclosed, that will or are likely to impact
liquidity in a material way. Management believes the only impact would be from
laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is diversified by the
location of the properties around the United States so that if one area of the
country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the remaining properties in
the portfolio may not be experiencing downswings. However, the geographic
diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general downturn in
the national economy. The Partnership has fully invested the proceeds of its
offering in 42 local partnerships, all of which have their tax credits in place.
The tax credits are attached to the project for a period of ten years and are
transferable with the property during the remainder of such ten year period. If
the General Partners determined that a sale of property is warranted, the
remaining tax credits would transfer to the new owner, thereby adding value to
the property on the market. The financial statements do not include any
adjustment to the carrying value of the properties that might result from the
market value of the tax credits.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002
continued to be in the form of rental income with corresponding expenses divided
among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.

Rental income remained fairly consistent with increases of approximately 5% for
both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 2001, primarily due to rental rate increases.

Total expenses, excluding general and administrative-related parties, operating
and other, repairs and maintenance and insurance, remained fairly consistent
with a decrease of approximately 1% for both the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2002, as compared to 2001.

General and administrative-related parties expenses increased approximately
$24,000 and $130,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 as
compared to the corresponding periods in 2001, primarily due to an increase in
property management fees incurred to affiliates of the Local Partnership's
general partners.

13


Operating and other expenses decreased approximately $42,000 and $67,000 for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the corresponding
periods in 2001, primarily due to an underaccrual of water and sewer expense at
one Local Partnership in the second quarter of 2001.

Repairs and maintenance expenses increased approximately $90,000 and $321,000
for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 2001, primarily due to insurance reimbursements for
fire damages at one Local Partnership in 2001 and an increase in ground
maintenance at two other Local Partnerships in 2002.

Insurance expenses increased approximately $15,000 and $53,000 for the three and
nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the corresponding periods in
2001, primarily due to an increase in insurance premiums at the Local
Partnerships.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Partnership is not exposed to market risk since its mortgage indebtedness
bears fixed rates of interest.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Related
Freedom Associates L.P. and Freedom GP Inc., each of which is a general partner
of the Partnership, has evaluated the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures relating to the Partnership's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended December 31, 2002 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and has judged such controls and procedures to be effective as of
December 31, 2002 (the "Evaluation Date").

There have been no significant changes in the internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal controls relating to the
Partnership since the Evaluation Date.
