PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
- -------
Liberty Tax Credit Plus II L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 25, 1988. The
general partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties II L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), Liberty Associates
II L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Liberty Associates"), and Liberty GP
II Inc. (formerly Shearson Liberty GP II Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the
"Liberty General Partner" and together with the Related General Partner and
Liberty Associates, the "General Partners"). The general partner of the Related
General Partner is Related Credit Properties II Inc., a Delaware corporation.
The general partners of Liberty Associates are Related Credit Properties II
Inc., and the Liberty General Partner. On November 25, 1997, an affiliate of the
Related General Partner purchased 100% of the stock of the Liberty General
Partner (the "Transfer"). In addition to the Transfer, by acquiring the stock of
the Liberty General Partner, an affiliate of the Related General Partner also
acquired the Liberty General Partner's general partnership interest in Liberty
Associates, which is also the special limited partner of the Partnership.
Pursuant to the Partnership's Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the
consent of the limited partners was not required to approve the Transfer.
On July 20, 1988 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 January 9, 1989 (the date on which the Partnership held the final closing
of the sale of BACs and on which the Offering was terminated), the Partnership
had received $115,917,500 of gross proceeds of the Offering from 8,431
investors.
The Partnership was formed to invest, as a limited partner, in other limited
partnerships (referred to herein as "Local Partnerships" or "subsidiary
partnerships") each of which owns one or more leveraged low-income multifamily
residential complexes ("Apartment Complexes") that are eligible for the
low-income housing tax credit ("Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of
1986, and to a lesser extent, in Local Partnerships owning properties that are
eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit (the "Historic
Rehabilitation Tax Credit") ("Rehabilitation Projects" and together with the
Apartment Complexes, the "Properties"). Some of the Apartment Complexes benefit
from one or more other forms of federal and state housing assistance. The
Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership represents from 20% to 98% of
the partnership interests in the Local Partnership. As of March 31, 2002, the
Partnership had acquired interests in 27 Local Partnerships and does not
anticipate making any additional investments. See Item 2, Properties. In June
1997, the Partnership sold 24.98% of its limited partnership interest in
United-Glenarden I Limited Partnership and 32.32% of its limited partnership
interest in Property Development Associates, L.P. On January 18, 2002, the
property and the related assets and liabilities of Campeche Isle Apartments,
Limited Partnership ("Campeche") were sold. See Results of Operations of Certain
Local Partnerships.
Liberty Associates is the special limited partner in all 27 Local Partnerships,
as well as a general partner of the Partnership. Liberty Associates has certain
rights and obligations in its role as special limited partner which permit it to
execute control over the management and policies of the Local Partnerships.

Investment Objectives, Tax Credits
- ----------------------------------
The investment objectives of the Partnership are to:
1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to Tax Credits (and to a lesser extent
Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits) over the period of the Partnership's
entitlement to claim Tax Credits (for each Property, ten years from the date of
investment or, if later, the date the Property is placed in service.);
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. Provide cash distributions when available from the operations of Properties;
and
5. 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
active business income.
One of the Partnership's objectives is to entitle qualified BACs holders to Tax
Credits over the period of the Partnership's entitlement to claim Tax Credits
(for each Apartment Complex, ten years from the date of investment or, if later,
the date the Apartment Complex is leased to qualified tenants; referred to
herein as the "Credit Period"). Each of the Local Partnerships in which the
Partnership has acquired an interest has been allocated by the relevant state
credit agency 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 the 15-year period (the "Compliance Period") commencing at the beginning
of the Credit Period. Once a Local Partnership has become eligible to recognize
Tax Credits, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an event of "recapture" if
(i) the Local Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements , (ii) there
is a decrease in the qualified basis of Apartment Complex, or (iii) there is a
reduction in its interest in the Apartment Complex at any time during the
Compliance Period. None of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has
acquired an interest has suffered an event of recapture.
The Partnership is in the final years of its Credit Period. The Tax Credits are
available for a ten-year period which commences when a Property is leased to
qualified tenants. However, the annual Tax Credits available in the year in
which an Apartment Complex is placed in service must be prorated based upon the
months remaining in the year. The amount of the annual Tax Credits 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 may not be claimed by the Partnership.
The General Partners generally required, in connection with certain investments
in Local Partnerships, that the general partner of the Local Partnership ("Local
General Partners") undertake the funding of operating deficits (up to a stated
maximum amount) of the Local Partnership during a limited period of time
following the Partnership's investment ("Guarantee Period"). As of March 31,
2002, all operating deficit guarantees have expired. Generally the amounts
funded pursuant to the operating deficit guarantee (the "Operating Deficit
Guarantee") have been treated as Operating Loans, do not bear interest and will
be repaid only out of 50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or
refinancing proceeds. See Item 8, Note 8 - Related Party Transactions.
3
The Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating Tax
Credits to qualified BACs holders. To date, none of the Local Partnerships has
failed to remain in compliance with the Tax Credit requirements, and therefore
none has suffered an event of recapture of Tax Credits. The Partnership
generated $1,725,324, $4,415,175 and $12,240,583 in Tax Credits during the 2001,
2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years, respectively.
The Partnership also continues to meet its objective of allocating passive
losses to individual BACs holders to offset passive income that they may realize
from rental real estate investments and other passive activities, and allocating
passive losses to corporate BACs holders to offset business income.
As of March 31, 2002, cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships
have been relatively immaterial. Management expects that the distributions
received from the Local Partnerships will increase, although not to a level
sufficient to permit cash distributions to BACs holders. The Partnership does
not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs holders in circumstances
other than refinancings or sales.
Government Regulations
- ----------------------
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can
also be affected by poor economic conditions generally. However, no more than
33% of the properties are located in any single state.
The Partnership is the beneficiary of certain subsidy agreements pursuant to
which the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD")
subsidizes the amount of rent that the Local Partnerships earn. There are
substantial risks associated with owning properties receiving government
assistance, such as the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to
enable HUD to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash
distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the
owner's equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially
liquidate its investments in Local Partnerships during the period that the
subsidy agreements are in existence without HUD's approval. Furthermore, there
may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental
assistance contracts expire.
Segments
- --------
The Partnership operates in one segment, which is the investment in multi-family
residential properties.
Competition
- -----------
The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all of the
Properties acquired by the Partnership are subject to competition from similar
properties in their respective vicinities. In addition, various other limited
partnerships may, in the future, be formed by the General Partners and/or their
affiliates to engage in business which may compete with the Partnership.
Employees
- ---------
The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are performed
for the Partnership by its General Partners and their affiliates. The General
Partners receive compensation in connection with such activities as set forth in
Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the General Partners
and certain of their affiliates for expenses incurred in connection with the
performance by their employees of services for the Partnership in accordance
4
with the Partnerships Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership Agreement").
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership has acquired an interest as a limited partner in 27 Local
Partnerships. On January 18, 2002, the property and the related assets and
liabilities of Campeche were sold. Set forth below is a schedule of these Local
Partnerships including certain information concerning the 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.
Except for the seven Local Partnerships listed below, the following is the
allocation of ownership percentage for each of the Local Partnerships:

(*) The property and the related assets and liabilities of this Partnership
were sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 (see Item 7. below).
All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years and no
tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
Rents from commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies)
comprise less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Partnership. Maximum rents
for the residential units are determined annually by HUD and reflect
increases/decreases in consumer price indices in various geographic areas.
Market conditions, however, determine the amount of rent actually charged.
Management annually 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
to the extent available.
Management annually reviews the insurance coverage of the Properties and subject
to budget constraints recommends to the respective Local General Partners
additional coverage if warranted. Management believes that coverage is presently
adequate.
See Item 1, Business, above for the general competitive conditions to which the
Local Partnerships and 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.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
This information is incorporated by reference to the discussion of Alexis Park
Apartments contained under the heading "Results of Operations of Certain Local
Partnerships" in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
7
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.
The Partnership has issued and outstanding 115,917.5 Limited Partnership
Interests, each representing a $1,000 capital contribution to the Partnership,
or an aggregate capital contribution of $115,917,500. All of the issued and
outstanding Limited Partnership Interests have been issued to Liberty Credit
Assignor Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued
115,917.5 BACs to the purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of
$115,917,500. 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 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 public trading market. Because of the provisions of the Revenue Act
of 1987, unless there are further changes in such law, 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 Partners
have imposed limited restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the
Limited Partnership Interests in secondary market transactions. Implementation
of these 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 May 15, 2002, the Partnership had 8,493 registered holders of an aggregate
of 115,917.5 BACs.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the three General
Partners.
There are no material provisions in the Partnership Agreement that restrict the
ability of the Partnership to make distributions.
The Partnership has not made any distributions to BACs holders as of March 31,
2002. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs
holders other than distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds upon the
disposition of Properties.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Through March 31, 2002, the Partnership has invested all of the net proceeds in
twenty-seven Local Partnerships. On January 18, 2002, the Property and the
related assets and liabilities of Campeche were sold. None of the purchase price
remains to be paid
During the year ended March 31, 2002, the Partnership's primary sources of funds
included: (i) working capital reserves; (ii) interest earned on the working
capital reserves; and (iii) cash distributions from operations of the Local
Partnerships. Such funds are available to meet the obligations of the
Partnership but are not expected to be significant.
The Partnership is not expected to have access to additional sources of
financing, and in particular will not have the ability to access BACs holders
for additional capital contributions to provide capital if needed by the
Partnership. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available
to the Partnership or any Local Partnership, nor that, if any Property is sold,
the proceeds of the sale will be sufficient to pay outstanding balances due on
mortgage loans or other outstanding indebtedness to which the Property is
subject.
During the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, cash
distributions received from operations of the Local Partnerships were
approximately $235,000, $246,000 and $6,000. The General Partners believe that
cash distributions received from the operations of the Local Partnerships are
sufficient to fund the Partnership's ongoing operations for the foreseeable
future (assuming the General Partners continue to defer payment of their
management fees).
During the year ended March 31, 2002, cash and cash equivalents of the
Partnership and its 27 consolidated Local Partnerships decreased approximately
$1,371,000. This decrease was the result of an increase in acquisitions of
property and equipment ($904,000), repayments of mortgage loans ($6,843,000), a
increase in deferred costs ($146,000) and a decrease in capitalization of
consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($366,000) which
exceeded cash flows provided by operating activities ($535,000), a net increase
in due to Local General Partners and affiliates ($5,762,000), a decrease in cash
held in escrow relating to investing activities ($491,000) and a increase in due
to selling partners ($99,000). In the adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash
provided by operating is forgiveness of indebtedness income ($1,803,000),
depreciation and amortization ($8,062,000) and loss on impairment ($680,000).
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounting to
approximately $9,808,000 and $8,312,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively. Without the General Partner's continued accrual
without payment of these fees, the Partnership will not be in a position to meet
its obligations. The General Partners have allowed for the accrual without
payment of these amounts but are under no obligation to continue to do so.
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
Local Partnerships, the resolution of the existing contingencies are 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 may result in recapture of Tax Credits if the investment
is lost before the expiration of the 15-year period during which the Properties
must comply with various rent and other restrictions.
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
11
in a material way. Management believes the only impact would be from laws that
have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is diversified by the location of the
Properties around the United States so that if one area of the country is
experiencing downturns in the economy, the remaining properties in the portfolio
may be experiencing upswings. However, the geographic diversification of the
portfolio may not protect against a general downturn in the national economy.
The Partnership has fully invested the proceeds of its offering in 27 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 is 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 such property and equipment. 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. Property
investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using
discounted cash flows) when the Property is considered to be impaired and the
depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value. During the year ended March 31,
2002, the Partnership recorded approximately $680,000 as a loss on impairment of
assets. Through March 31, 2002, the Partnership has recorded approximately
$5,407,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are
adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Such
assets would be classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated. Assets classified as property and equipment-held for sale amounted
to approximately $4,467,000 and $0 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 (the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal
Years, respectively).
The majority of the Local Partnerships' revenues continue to be in the form of
rental income with the corresponding expenses divided among operations,
depreciation and mortgage interest.
The net loss for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years totaled $6,183,026,
$6,923,585 and $7,988,881, respectively.
The Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating Tax
Credits to qualified BACs holders. To date, none of the Local Partnerships have
failed to remain in compliance with the Tax Credit requirements, and, therefore,
none have suffered an event of recapture of Tax Credits. The Partnership
generated $1,725,324, $4,415,175 and $12,240,583 in Tax Credits during the 2001,
2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years, respectively.
12
2001 vs. 2000
- -------------
Rental income increased approximately 2% for the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared to
the 2000 Fiscal Year primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income increased approximately $578,000 for the 2001 Fiscal Year as
compared to the 2000 Fiscal Year primarily due to the write-off of various
liabilities in 2001 at one Local Partnership due to its impending sale.
Total expenses, excluding operating and other and insurance, remained fairly
consistent with an increase of approximately 2% for the 2001 Fiscal Year as
compared to the 2000 Fiscal Year.
Operating and other increased approximately $515,000 for the 2001 Fiscal Year as
compared to the 2000 Fiscal Year primarily due to an increase in gas charges at
five Local Partnerships.
Insurance increased approximately $171,000 for the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared
to the 2000 Fiscal Year primarily due to small increases at seven Local
Partnerships as a result of increased premiums.
Forgiveness of indebtedness income of approximately $1,803,000 was recorded in
the 2001 Fiscal year as the result of one Local Partnership prepaying a portion
of a note in exchange for forgiving the remaining balance.
A loss on impairment of assets of approximately $680,000 was recorded in the
2001 Fiscal Year.
2000 vs. 1999
- -------------
Rental income increased approximately 2% for the 2000 Fiscal Year as compared to
the 1999 Fiscal Year, primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income increased approximately $426,000 for the 2000 Fiscal Year as
compared to the 1999 Fiscal Year, primarily due to the write-off of old payables
at one Local Partnership partially offset by insurance proceeds received at a
second Local Partnership.
Forgiveness of indebtedness of approximately $695,000 was recorded in the 2000
Fiscal Year as the result of the restructuring of the outstanding mortgages and
write-offs of payables at one Local Partnership.
Total expenses, excluding insurance, remained fairly consistent, with an
increase of approximately 2% for the 2000 Fiscal Year as compared to the 1999
Fiscal Year.
Insurance increased approximately $123,000 for the 2000 Fiscal Year as compared
to the 1999 Fiscal Year, primarily due to small increases at seven Local
Partnerships as a result of increased premiums.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
- ---------------------------------------------------
(a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concerns and Uncertainties
Whittier Plaza Associates
- -------------------------
The financial statements for Whittier Plaza Associates Limited Partnership
("Whittier") have been prepared assuming that Whittier will continue as a going
concern. Whittier has sustained continuous losses since commencement of
operations in 1988. Whittier has experienced higher vacancies and lower rents
than those originally projected, resulting in increased difficulty in meeting
both operating and debt service obligations. The Local General Partner, pursuant
to a
13
development deficit guarantee agreement, has advanced approximately $1,000
and $40,000 in the 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively, and approximately
$448,000 since 1988 to fund operating cash shortfalls. In addition, Whittier's
management company, an affiliate of the Local General Partner, has deferred
receipt of various fees since 1991 totaling approximately $81,000. These items
raise substantial doubt about Whittier's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Partnership's investment in Whittier at March 31, 2002 and 2001 was reduced
to zero as a result of prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was
$0 at each date. Whittier's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $37,000, $26,000 and $49,000 for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal
Years.
Alexis Park Apartments
- ----------------------
The financial statements for Alexis Park Apartments ("Alexis") have been
prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
assuming the continuation of the Local Partnership as a going concern. However,
negative performance indicators and the environmental issue raise substantial
doubt about the Local Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern.
A hazardous waste issue has affected Alexis for nearly 11 years. Although this
environmental issue is in many respects beyond its control, management believes
that the selected remedy of the United States Environmental Protection Agency is
practical and is not likely to cause significant disruption to the apartment
project's operations beyond what it has experienced over the last several years.
The Local Partnership's congressman, U.S. Senators and the Mayor of Bossier City
have assisted Alexis in preventing this issue from escalating unnecessarily and
management believes that no escalation will occur in the near term. Further, all
indications are that an oil company will bear all costs of remediation and that
the Local Partnership will not be called upon to share in those costs.
Accordingly, management believes the Local Partnership has the opportunity to
continue as a going concern.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Local Partnership sustained a net loss
of approximately $340,000. At December 31, 2001, the Local Partnership's current
liabilities exceed its current assets by approximately $440,000. Management
expects operating income to improve for 2002 as a result of both increased
occupancy and slightly reduced expenses. In addition, included in current
liabilities are obligations to the management company totaling approximately
$295,000 that are not expected to require payment beyond Alexis' ability to pay.
Management believes, that if necessary, it can obtain funds to supplement
operating cash flows for 2002 to enable Alexis to meet its liabilities and
subject to the environmental uncertainty enable Alexis to continue as a going
concern for at least one year.
These items raise substantial doubt about Alexis' ability to continue as a going
concern. The maximum loss for which the Partnership would be liable is its net
investment in Alexis. The Partnership's investment in Alexis at March 31, 2002
and 2001 was reduced to zero as a result of prior years' losses and the minority
interest balance was $0 at each date. Alexis' net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $340,000, $277,000 and $243,000, for the 2001, 2000
and 1999 Fiscal Years, respectively.
United-Glen Arden II Limited Partnership
- ----------------------------------------
The financial statements for United-Glen Arden II Limited Partnership ("Glen
Arden II") have been prepared assuming that Glen Arden II will continue as a
going concern. Glen Arden II is in default of its loan agreement primarily as a
result of non-payment of the required mortgage payments. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about Glen Arden II's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty. Subsequently, as of May 31, 2002 the property
had paid all mortgage arrears. The Partnership's investment in Glen Arden II was
reduced to zero as a result of prior years' losses and the minority interest
balance was $0 at both March 31, 2002 and
14
2001, respectively. Glen Arden II's net loss after minority interest was
approximately $542,000, $538,000 and $368,000 for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
- -------------------------------------
The financial statements for Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
("Willoughby") have been prepared assuming that Willoughby will continue as a
going concern. There are certain conditions that raise substantial doubt about
Willoughby's ability to continue as a going concern. Willoughby has had
operating losses and equity deficiencies and has required loans from related
parties to meet its obligations. Management plans to continue to minimize costs
within its control and seeks additional funding sources to supplement project
operations. Continuance of Willoughby as a going concern is dependent upon
Willoughby's ability to obtain additional funding to supplement project
operations and enable Willoughby to meet its obligations as they become due. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties. The Partnership's investment in Willoughby at
March 31, 2002 and 2001 has been reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the
minority interest balance amounted to approximately $171,000 and $174,000,
respectively. Willoughby's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $276,000, $193,000 and $204,000 for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
b) Subsidiary Partnerships - Other
Gramco Development Limited Dividend Partnership, L.P.
- -----------------------------------------------------
Gramco Development Limited Dividend Partnership, L.P. ("Gramco") was granted net
funds of $4,867,000. In the event of a substantial violation to the provisions
of certain agreements between Gramco and the Municipality of Bayamon (the
"Municipality") and between the Municipality and HUD, the funds shall become
immediately due and payable at the election of HUD and the Municipality.
Otherwise, the principal amount of the obligation together with any interest
will be forgiven. Proceeds from the loan have been deducted from fixed assets.
Williamsburg Residential, L.P.
- ------------------------------
In November 1996, the Local General Partner of Williamsburg Residential, L.P.
("Williamsburg") stopped making the mortgage note payments which constituted an
event of default. A Reinstatement and Modification Agreement was entered into
effective March 1, 1997. The Partnership has advanced Williamsburg the necessary
funds to keep the mortgage and escrows current during 2001 and is expected to
continue to do so during 2002.
The Partnership's investment in Williamsburg has been written down to $0 by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $728,000
and $792,000 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Williamsburg net loss
after minority interest amounted to approximately $128,000, $208,000 and
$201,000 for the 2001, 2000, and 1999 fiscal years, respectively. As of December
31, 2001, the Partnership has advanced Williamsburg approximately $818,000.
Campeche Isle Apartments
- ------------------------
On January 18, 2002, the property and the related assets and liabilities of
Campeche Isle Apartments, Limited Partnership ("Campeche") were sold to an
unaffiliated third party for $4,625,000, resulting in a gain of approximately
$38,000 which will be recognized in the financial statements Form 10-Q for the
quarter ending June 30, 2002.
Other
- -----
The Partnership's investments, as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships,
are subject to the risks incident to 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, rental payment defaults, and increased
15
operating expenses, any or all of which could threaten the financial 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 HUD to make the rental assistance payments it has
contracted to make, and the possibility 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.
New Pronouncements
- ------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141 "Business Combinations" and No. 142
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase
method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001 and that the use of pooling-of-interest method is no longer allowed.
SFAS No. 142 requires that upon adoption, amortization of goodwill will cease
and instead, the carrying value of goodwill will be evaluated for impairment on
an annual basis. Identifiable intangible assets will continue to be amortized
over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No.
121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of these
standards to have any impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
Additionally, the Financial Accounting Standard Board has issued SFAS No. 144
"ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS" in August 2001.
This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus II L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Tax Credit Plus II
L.P. and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited Partnership) as of March 31, 2002 and
2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000 (the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years). 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 audits. We did not
audit the financial statements for 27 (2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years)
subsidiary partnerships whose losses aggregated $2,587,660, $5,834,878 and
$6,417,444 for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose
assets constituted 98% of the Partnership's assets at March 31, 2002 and 2001,
presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The financial
statements for 27 (2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years) 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 U.S. 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 the other auditors
referred to above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred
to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Liberty Tax Credit Plus II L.P. and Subsidiaries at March
31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of four limited partnerships with significant contingencies
and uncertainties. The financial statements of these subsidiary partnerships
were prepared assuming that each will continue as a going concern. The four
subsidiary partnerships' net losses aggregated $1,195,732 (Fiscal 2001),
$1,035,987 (Fiscal 2000) and $865,425 (Fiscal 1999) and their assets aggregated
$17,087,258 and $18,279,322 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These
matters raise substantial doubt about these subsidiary partnerships' abilities
to continue as going concerns. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 10(a). The accompanying consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

In accordance with GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS and the Consolidated Audit
Guide for audits of HUD Programs, issued by the US Department of Housing and
Urban Development, we have also issued a report dated February 3, 2001, on our
consideration of the Partnership's internal control structure and reports dated
February 3, 2001, on its compliance with specific requirements applicable to
major HUD programs; compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, loan covenants
and agreements; and compliance with specific requirements applicable to Fair
Housing and Non-Discrimination. Those reports are an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS and should be read in
conjunction with this report in considering the results of the audits.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements, taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary
information included in the report on pages 23 to 26 is presented for purposes
of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements of Gramco Development Limited Dividend Partnership, L.P., HUD Project

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2002
NOTE 1 - General
Liberty Tax Credit Plus II L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on March 25, 1988, but had no activity until July
1, 1988 (which date is considered to be inception for financial accounting
purposes). The Partnership had no operations until commencement of the public
offering on July 20, 1988.
The Partnership's business is to invest in other limited partnerships ("Local
Partnerships", "subsidiaries" or "subsidiary partnerships") owning leveraged
low-income multifamily residential complexes ("Apartment Complexes") that are
eligible for the low-income housing tax credit ("Housing Tax Credit") enacted in
the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and to a lesser extent in Local Partnerships owning
properties ("Rehabilitation Projects" and together with the Apartment Complexes,
the "Properties") that are eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit.
The Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership represents a 20% to 98%
interest in that Local Partnership.
As of March 31, 2002, the Partnership had acquired interests in 27 Local
Partnerships and does not anticipate making any additional investments. On
January 18, 2002, the Property and the related assets and liabilities of
Campeche Isle Apartments, Limited Partnership ("Campeche") were sold.
The Partnership was authorized to issue a total of 200,000 Beneficial Assignment
Certificates ("BACs"), of which 120,000 have been registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for sale to the public. The public offering was
completed on January 9, 1989 with a total of 115,917.5 BACs sold and
$115,917,500 of proceeds received by the Partnership.
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 partners.

and 27 subsidiary partnerships in which the Partnership is a limited partner.
Through the rights of the Partnership and/or a General Partner (which 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.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's fiscal year ends on 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 U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). All subsidiaries have fiscal years
ending December 31. Accounts of the subsidiaries have been adjusted for
inter-
87
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS II L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2002
company transactions from January 1 through March 31. All intercompany accounts
and transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest arise from cash contributions and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.
The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary partnership is equal to the
respective subsidiary partners' equity less minority interest capital, if any.
Losses attributable to minority interests which exceed the minority interest's
investment in a subsidiary partnership have been charged to the Partnership.
Such losses aggregated approximately $625,000, $562,000 and $510,000 for the
years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 (the 2001, 2000 and 1999 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.
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 such property and equipment. 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. Property
investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using
discounted cash flows) when the Property is considered to be impaired and the
depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value. During the year ended March 31,
2002, the Partnership recorded approximately $680,000 as a loss on impairment of
assets. Through March 31, 2002, the Partnership has recorded approximately
$5,407,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are
adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Such
assets would be classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated. Assets classified as property and equipment-held for sale amounted
to approximately $4,467,000 and $0 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
d) 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.

MARCH 31, 2002
e) 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).
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. In
addition, the Partnership evaluates a potential environmental liability
independently from any potential claim for recovery.
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.
h) New Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141 "Business Combinations" and No. 142
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase
method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001 and that the use of pooling-of-interest method is no longer allowed.
SFAS No. 142 requires that upon adoption, amortization of goodwill will cease
and instead, the carrying value of goodwill will be evaluated for impairment on
an annual basis. Identifiable intangible assets will continue to be amortized
over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No.
121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of these
standards to have any impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
Additionally, the Financial Accounting Standard Board has issued SFAS No. 144
"ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS" in August 2001.
This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.

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.

mortgage notes payable because mortgage programs with similar characteristics
are not currently available to the Local Partnerships.
The carrying amount of other financial instruments that require such disclosure
approximates fair value.

========== ========== ==========
(a) The General Partners are entitled to receive a partnership management fee,
after payment of all Partnership expenses, which together with the local annual
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. The partnership management fee, subject to the foregoing
limitation, will be determined by the General Partners in their sole discretion
based upon their review of the Partnership's investments. Partnership management
fees owed to the General Partners amounting to approximately $9,808,000 and
$8,312,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001.
Without the General Partner's continued accrual without payment, the Partnership
will not be in a position to meet its obligations. The General Partners have
allowed for the accrual without payment of these amounts but are under no
obligation to do so.
(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) Property management fees incurred by subsidiary partnerships amounted to
$1,636,460, $1,629,770 and $1,568,548 for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years,
respectively. Of these fees $887,000, $914,280 and $867,174 were incurred to
affiliates of the Local General Partners. In-

per year from each subsidiary partnership.
Liberty Associates has a 1% interest as the special limited partner in each of
the subsidiary partnerships. Liberty Associates received cash distributions of
approximately $5,900, $5,200 and $2,600 during the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and the Local Partnership Agreements, the
General Partners and Liberty Associates received their allocable share of

NOTE 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concerns and Uncertainties
The auditors for four subsidiary partnerships, Whittier Plaza Associates Limited
Partnership, Alexis Park Apartments, United-Glen Arden II and Willoughby-Wyckoff
Housing Associates modified their reports on the 2001 Fiscal Year financial
statements due to the uncertainty of each subsidiary partnership's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that would be necessary in the event the subsidiary partnerships are
unable to continue as going concerns.
Whittier Plaza Associates
- -------------------------
The financial statements for Whittier Plaza Associates Limited Partnership
("Whittier") have been prepared assuming that Whittier will continue as a going
concern. Whittier has sustained continuous losses since commencement of
operations in 1988. Whittier has experienced higher vacancies and lower rents
than those originally projected, resulting in increased difficulty in meeting
both operating and debt service obligations. The Local General Partner, pursuant
to a development deficit guarantee agreement, has advanced approximately $1,000
and $40,000 in the 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively, and approximately
$448,000 since 1988 to fund operating cash shortfalls. In addition, Whittier's
management company, an affiliate of the Local General Partner, has deferred
receipt of various fees since 1991 totaling approximately
96
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS II L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2002
$81,000. These items raise substantial doubt about Whittier's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment in Whittier at March
31, 2002 and 2001 was reduced to zero as a result of prior years' losses and the
minority interest balance was $0 at each date. Whittier's net loss after
minority interest amounted to approximately $37,000, $26,000 and $49,000 for the
2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years.
Alexis Park Apartments
- ----------------------
The financial statements for Alexis Park Apartments ("Alexis") have been
prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
assuming the continuation of the Local Partnership as a going concern. However,
negative performance indicators and the environmental issue raise substantial
doubt about the Local Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern.
A hazardous waste issue has affected Alexis for nearly 11 years. Although this
environmental issue is in many respects beyond its control, management believes
that the selected remedy of the United States Environmental Protection Agency is
practical and is not likely to cause significant disruption to the apartment
project's operations beyond what it has experienced over the last several years.
The Local Partnership's congressman, U.S. Senators and the Mayor of Bossier City
have assisted Alexis in preventing this issue from escalating unnecessarily and
management believes that no escalation will occur in the near term. Further, all
indications are that an oil company will bear all costs of remediation and that
the Local Partnership will not be called upon to share in those costs.
Accordingly, management believes the Local Partnership has the opportunity to
continue as a going concern.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Local Partnership sustained a net loss
of approximately $340,000. At December 31, 2001, the Local Partnership's current
liabilities exceed its current assets by approximately $440,000. Management
expects operating income to improve for 2002 as a result of both increased
occupancy and slightly reduced expenses. In addition, included in current
liabilities are obligations to the management company totaling approximately
$295,000 that are not expected to require payment beyond Alexis' ability to pay.
Management believes, that if necessary, it can obtain funds to supplement
operating cash flows for 2002 to enable Alexis to meet its liabilities and
subject to the environmental uncertainty enable Alexis to continue as a going
concern for at least one year.
These items raise substantial doubt about Alexis' ability to continue as a going
concern. The maximum loss for which the Partnership would be liable is its net
investment in Alexis. The Partnership's investment in Alexis at March 31, 2002
and 2001 was reduced to zero as a result of prior years' losses and the minority
interest balance was $0 at each date. Alexis' net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $340,000, $277,000 and $243,000, for the 2001, 2000
and 1999 Fiscal Years, respectively.
United-Glen Arden II Limited Partnership
- ----------------------------------------
The financial statements for United-Glen Arden II Limited Partnership ("Glen
Arden II") have been prepared assuming that Glen Arden II will continue as a
going concern. Glen Arden II is in default of its loan agreement primarily as a
result of non-payment of the required mortgage payments. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about Glen Arden II's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty. Subsequently, as of May 31, 2002 the property
had paid all mortgage arrears. The Partnership's investment in Glen Arden II was
reduced to zero as a result of prior years' losses and the minority interest
balance was $0 at both March 31, 2002 and
97
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS II L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2002
2001, respectively. Glen Arden II's net loss after minority interest was
approximately $542,000, $538,000 and $368,000 for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
- -------------------------------------
The financial statements for Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
("Willoughby") have been prepared assuming that Willoughby will continue as a
going concern. There are certain conditions that raise substantial doubt about
Willoughby's ability to continue as a going concern. Willoughby has had
operating losses and equity deficiencies and has required loans from related
parties to meet its obligations. Management plans to continue to minimize costs
within its control and seeks additional funding sources to supplement project
operations. Continuance of Willoughby as a going concern is dependent upon
Willoughby's ability to obtain additional funding to supplement project
operations and enable Willoughby to meet its obligations as they become due. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties. The Partnership's investment in Willoughby at
March 31, 2002 and 2001 has been reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the
minority interest balance amounted to approximately $171,000 and $174,000,
respectively. Willoughby's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $276,000, $193,000 and $204,000 for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
b) Subsidiary Partnerships - Other
Gramco Development Limited Dividend Partnership, L.P.
- -----------------------------------------------------
Gramco Development Limited Dividend Partnership, L.P. ("Gramco") was granted net
funds of $4,867,000. In the event of a substantial violation to the provisions
of certain agreements between Gramco and the Municipality of Bayamon (the
"Municipality") and between the Municipality and HUD, the funds shall become
immediately due and payable at the election of HUD and the Municipality.
Otherwise, the principal amount of the obligation together with any interest
will be forgiven. Proceeds from the loan have been deducted from fixed assets.
Williamsburg Residential, L.P.
- ------------------------------
In November 1996, the Local General Partner of Williamsburg Residential, L.P.
("Williamsburg") stopped making the mortgage note payments which constituted an
event of default. A Reinstatement and Modification Agreement was entered into
effective March 1, 1997. The Partnership has advanced Williamsburg the necessary
funds to keep the mortgage and escrows current during 2001 and is expected to
continue to do so during 2002.
The Partnership's investment in Williamsburg has been written down to $0 by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $728,000
and $792,000 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Williamsburg net loss
after minority interest amounted to approximately $128,000, $208,000 and
$201,000 for the 2001, 2000, and 1999 fiscal years, respectively. As of December
31, 2001, the Partnership has advanced Williamsburg approximately $818,000.
Campeche Isle Apartments
- ------------------------
On January 18, 2002, the property and the related assets and liabilities of
Campeche Isle Apartments, Limited Partnership ("Campeche") were sold to an
unaffiliated third party for $4,625,000, resulting in a gain of approximately
$38,000 which will be recognized in the financial statements Form 10-Q for the
quarter ending June 30, 2002.

c) Uninsured Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various banks.
Accounts at each bank are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. As of March 31, 2002, uninsured cash and cash
equivalents approximated $1,250,000.
d) Other
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can
also be affected by poor economic conditions generally. However, no more than
33% of the Properties are located in any single state. There are also
substantial risks associated with owning Properties receiving government
assistance, such as the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to
enable HUD to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash
distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the
owner's equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially
liquidate its investments in subsidiary partnerships during the period that the
subsidy agreements are in existence without HUD's approval. Furthermore, there
may not be market demand for apartments at market rents when the rental
assistance contracts expire.
e) Tax Credits
The Partnership and BACs holders began recognizing Housing Tax Credits with
respect to a Property when the Credit Period for such Property began. 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. For the 2001, 2000 and 1999
tax years, Housing Tax Credits of $1,725,324, $4,415,175 and $12,240,583, were
generated.
A portion of the Housing Tax Credits are subject to recapture in future years if
(i) a Local Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements, or (ii) if
there is a decrease in the qualified basis of the Local Partnership's Property,
or (iii) if there is a reduction in the Local Partnership interest in the
Property at any time during the 15-year Compliance Period that began with the
first tax year of the Credit Period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
To the Partners of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus II L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus II L.P. and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited
Partnership) included in this Form 10-K as presented in our opinion dated June
10, 2002 on page 18, and based on the reports of other auditors, we have also
audited supporting Schedule I for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years and
Schedule III at March 31, 2002. In our opinion, and based on the reports of the
other auditors, these consolidated schedules present fairly, when read in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements, the financial
data required to be set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of four limited partnerships with significant contingencies
and uncertainties. The financial statements of these subsidiary partnerships
were prepared assuming that each will continue as a going concern. The four
subsidiary partnerships' net losses aggregated $1,195,732 (Fiscal 2001),
$1,035,987 (Fiscal 2000) and $865,425 (Fiscal 1999) and their assets aggregated
$17,087,258 and $18,279,322 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These
matters raise substantial doubt about these subsidiary partnerships' abilities
to continue as going concerns. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 10(a). The accompanying consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

At the time the local partnerships were acquired by Liberty Tax Credit Plus II
Limited Partnership, the entire purchase price paid by Liberty 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.
