under the Securities Act of 1933.
PART I
Item 1. Business
--------
Formation
- ---------
American Tax Credit Properties L.P. ("Registrant"), a Delaware limited
partnership, was formed on February 12, 1988 to invest primarily in leveraged
low-income multifamily residential complexes (the "Property" or "Properties")
which qualify for the low-income tax credit in accordance with Section 42 of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Low-income Tax Credit"), through the acquisition of
limited partnership equity interests in partnerships (the "Local Partnership" or
"Local Partnerships") that are the owners of the Properties. Registrant invested
in nineteen such Properties, including one Property that also qualifies for the
historic rehabilitation tax credit in accordance with Section 48(g) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit").
Registrant considers its activity to constitute a single industry segment.
Richman Tax Credit Properties L.P. (the "General Partner"), a Delaware limited
partnership, was formed on February 10, 1988 to act as the general partner of
Registrant. The general partners of the General Partner are Richard Paul Richman
and Richman Tax Credit Properties Inc. ("Richman Tax"), a Delaware corporation
that is wholly-owned by Richard Paul Richman. Richman Tax is an affiliate of The
Richman Group, Inc. ("Richman Group"), a Delaware corporation founded by Richard
Paul Richman in 1988.
The Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-11 was filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on April 29, 1988
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 under Registration Statement File No.
33-20391, and was declared effective on May 4, 1988. Reference is made to the
prospectus dated May 6, 1988, as supplemented by Supplement No. 1 and Supplement
No. 2 dated August 11, 1988 and September 20, 1988, respectively, filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Prospectus"). Pursuant to Rule 12b-23 of the Commission's General Rules and
Regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), the description of Registrant's business set forth under
the heading "Investment Objectives and Policies" at pages 51 through 75 of the
Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference.
On May 11, 1988, Registrant commenced, through Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), the offering of up to 50,000 units of
limited partnership interest ("Unit") at $1,000 per Unit to investors. On August
19, 1988 and November 15, 1988, the closings for 23,603 and 17,683 Units,
respectively, took place, amounting to aggregate limited partners' capital
contributions of $41,286,000.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-23 of the Commission's General Rules and Regulations
promulgated under the Exchange Act, the description of Registrant's competition,
general risks, tax risks and partnership risks set forth under the heading "Risk
Factors" at pages 21 through 35 of the Prospectus is incorporated herein by

Registrant is organized as a limited partnership and is a "pass through" tax
entity which does not, itself, pay federal income tax. However, the partners of
Registrant who are subject to federal income tax may be affected by the Tax
Acts. Registrant will consider the effect of certain aspects of the Tax Acts on
the partners when making decisions regarding its investments. Registrant does
not anticipate that the Tax Acts will currently have a material adverse impact
on Registrant's business operations, capital resources and plans or liquidity.
Employees
- ---------
Registrant employs no personnel and incurs no payroll costs. All management
activities of Registrant are conducted by the General Partner. An affiliate of
the General Partner employs individuals who perform the management activities of
Registrant. This entity also performs similar services for other affiliates of
the General Partner.

Item 2. Properties
----------
The executive offices of Registrant and the General Partner are located at 599
West Putnam Avenue, 3rd floor, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830. Registrant does not
own or lease any properties. Registrant pays no rent; all charges for leased
space are borne by an affiliate of the General Partner.
Registrant's primary objective is to provide Low-income Tax Credits to limited
partners generally over a ten year period. The relevant state tax credit agency
has allocated each of Registrant's Local Partnerships an amount of Low-income
Tax Credits, which are generally available for a ten year period from the year
the Property is placed in service (the "Ten Year Credit Period"). The Ten Year
Credit Period was substantially exhausted by all of the Properties as of
December 31, 2001. The required holding period of each Property, in order to
avoid Low-income Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years from the year in which
the Low-income Tax Credits commence on the last building of the Property (the
"Compliance Period"). The Properties must satisfy various requirements including
rent restrictions and tenant income limitations (the "Low-income Tax Credit
Requirements") in order to maintain eligibility for the recognition of the
Low-income Tax Credit at all times during the Compliance Period. Once a Local
Partnership has become eligible for the Low-income Tax Credit, it may lose such
eligibility and suffer an event of recapture if its Property fails to remain in
compliance with the Low-income Tax Credit Requirements. In April 1997, B & V,
Ltd. ("B & V") suffered its final event of recapture of Low-income Tax Credits
due to a hurricane which substantially damaged the property owned by such Local
Partnership and the failure of the property to be fully-rebuilt, primarily due
to the non-performance of the insurance company and the resulting foreclosure
action taken by the lender. In May 1998, B & V Phase I, Ltd. ("B & V Phase I")
suffered an event of recapture of Low-income Tax Credits resulting from the same
hurricane and a resulting foreclosure. Due to delays in the reconstruction of
the complex, B & V Phase I was unable to comply with the terms of its agreement
with the lender. In April 1998, Erie Associates Limited Partnership ("Erie")
suffered an event of recapture as a result of a foreclosure sale directed by the
lender, due to accumulated arrearages under the terms of the mortgage.
Although Registrant generally owns a 98.9%-99% limited partnership interest
("Local Partnership Interest") in the Local Partnerships, Registrant and
American Tax Credit Properties II L.P. ("ATCP II"), a Delaware limited
partnership and an affiliate of Registrant, together, in the aggregate, own a
99% Local Partnership Interest in Santa Juanita Limited Dividend Partnership
L.P. ("Santa Juanita"); the ownership percentages of Registrant and ATCP II of
Santa Juanita are 34.64% and 64.36%, respectively.
Many of the Local Partnerships receive rental subsidy payments, including
payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974 ("Section 8") (see descriptions of subsidies on page 5). The subsidy
agreements expire at various times during and after the Compliance Periods of
the Local Partnerships. Since October 1997, the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has issued a series of directives related
to project based Section 8 contracts that define owners' notification
responsibilities, advise owners of project based Section 8 properties of what
their options are regarding the renewal of Section 8 contracts, provide guidance
and procedures to owners, management agents, contract administrators and HUD
staff concerning renewal of Section 8 contracts, provide policies and procedures
on setting renewal rents and handling renewal rent adjustments and provide the
requirements and procedures for opting-out of a Section 8 project based
contract. Registrant cannot reasonably predict legislative initiatives and
governmental budget negotiations, the outcome of which could result in a
reduction in funds available for the various federal and state administered
housing programs including the Section 8 program. Such changes could adversely
affect the future net operating income before debt service ("NOI") and debt
structure of any or all Local Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy or
similar subsidies. Three Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts are currently
subject to renewal under applicable HUD guidelines. In addition, two Local
Partnerships entered into restructuring agreements in 2001, resulting in both a
lower rent subsidy (resulting in lower NOI) and lower mandatory debt service.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
Registrant is not aware of any material legal proceedings.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Market Information and Holders
- ------------------------------
There is no established public trading market for Registrant's Units.
Accordingly, accurate information as to the market value of a Unit at any given
date is not available. The number of owners of Units as of May 31, 2004 was
approximately 2,420, holding 41,286 Units.
Merrill Lynch follows internal guidelines for providing estimated values of
limited partnerships and other direct investments reported on client account
statements. Pursuant to such guidelines, estimated values for limited
partnership interests reported on Merrill Lynch client account statements (such
as Registrant's Units) are provided to Merrill Lynch by independent valuation
services. These estimated values are based on financial and other information
available to the independent services (i) on the prior August 15th for reporting
on December year-end and subsequent client account statements through the
following May's month-end client account statements and (ii) on March 31st for
reporting on June month-end and subsequent client account statements through the
November month-end client account statements of the same year. In addition,
Registrant may provide an estimate of value to Unit holders from time to time in
Registrant's reports to limited partners. The estimated values provided by the
independent services and Registrant, which may differ, are not market values and
Unit holders may not be able to sell their Units or realize either amount upon a
sale of their Units. In addition, Unit holders may not realize such estimated
values upon the liquidation of Registrant.
Distributions
- -------------
Registrant owns a limited partnership interest in Local Partnerships that are
the owners of Properties that are leveraged and receive government assistance in
various forms of rental and debt service subsidies. The distribution of cash
flow generated by the Local Partnerships may be restricted, as determined by
each Local Partnership's financing and subsidy agreements. Accordingly,
Registrant does not anticipate that it will provide significant cash
distributions to its partners. There were no cash distributions to the partners
during the years ended March 30, 2004 and 2003.
Low-income Tax Credits and Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits (together, the
"Tax Credits"), which are subject to various limitations, may be used by
partners to offset federal income tax liabilities. The Tax Credits per Unit
generated by Registrant and allocated to the limited partners for the tax years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the cumulative Tax Credits, net of
recaptured Low-income Tax Credits, allocated from inception through December 31,
2002 are as follows:

which have given rise to, and notwithstanding future circumstances which may
give rise to, recapture and loss of future benefits (see Part I, Item 2 -

Results of Operations
----------------------------------------------------------------
Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------
Registrant admitted limited partners in two closings with aggregate limited
partners' capital contributions of $41,286,000. In connection with the offering
of the sale of units, Registrant incurred organization and offering costs of
approximately $4,781,000 and established a working capital reserve of
approximately $2,271,000. The remaining net proceeds of approximately
$34,234,000 (the "Net Proceeds") were available to be applied to the acquisition
of limited partnership interests in local partnerships (the "Local
Partnerships") that own low-income multifamily residential complexes (the
"Property" or "Properties") that qualify for the low-income tax credit in
accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Low-income Tax
Credit"); one Local Partnership owns a Property that also qualifies for the
historic rehabilitation tax credit in accordance with Section 48 (g) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Net Proceeds were utilized in acquiring an
interest in eighteen Local Partnerships.
As of March 30, 2004, Registrant has cash and cash equivalents, marketable
equity securities and investments in bonds totaling $773,621, which is available
for operating expenses of Registrant and circumstances which may arise in
connection with the Local Partnerships. As of March 30, 2004, Registrant's
investments in bonds represent corporate bonds of $120,062, U.S. Treasury bonds
of $243,873 and U.S. government agency bonds of $287,283, with various maturity
dates ranging from 2004 to 2007. Registrant acquired such investments in bonds
with the intention of utilizing proceeds generated by such investments to meet
its annual obligations. Future sources of Registrant funds are expected to be
primarily from interest earned on working capital and limited cash distributions
from Local Partnerships.
During the year ended March 30, 2004, Registrant received cash from interest
revenue, redemptions/maturities and sales of bonds and distributions from Local
Partnerships and utilized cash for operating expenses, investments in bonds and
advances to a Local Partnership (see Local Partnership Matters below). Cash and
cash equivalents, marketable equity securities and investments in bonds
decreased, in the aggregate, by approximately $561,000 during the year ended
March 30, 2004 (which includes a net unrealized gain on investments in bonds and
marketable equity security of approximately $53,000, the amortization of net
premium on investments in bonds of approximately $5,000 and the accretion of
zero coupon bonds of approximately $18,000). Notwithstanding circumstances that
may arise in connection with the Properties, Registrant does not expect to
realize significant gains or losses on its investments in bonds, if any.
8
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
----------------------------------------------------------------
During the year ended March 30, 2004, the investment in local partnerships
decreased as a result of Registrant's equity in the Local Partnerships' net loss
for the year ended December 31, 2003 of $600,150 and cash distributions received
from Local Partnerships of $2,500 (exclusive of distributions from Local
Partnerships of $22,500 classified as other income), partially offset by
advances made to a Local Partnership of $114,149 (see discussion below under
Local Partnership Matters). Payable to general partner and affiliates in the
accompanying balance sheets as of March 30, 2004 and 2003 represents deferred
management and administration fees.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Registrant's operating results are dependent upon the operating results of the
Local Partnerships and are significantly impacted by the Local Partnerships'
policies. In addition, the operating results herein are not necessarily the same
for tax reporting. Registrant accounts for its investment in local partnerships
in accordance with the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the investment
is carried at cost and is adjusted for Registrant's share of each Local
Partnership's results of operations and by cash distributions received. Equity
in loss of each investment in Local Partnership allocated to Registrant is
recognized to the extent of Registrant's investment balance in each Local
Partnership. Equity in loss in excess of Registrant's investment balance in a
Local Partnership is allocated to other partners' capital in any such Local
Partnership. As a result, the reported equity in loss of investment in local
partnerships is expected to decrease as Registrant's investment balances in the
respective Local Partnerships become zero. The combined statements of operations
of the Local Partnerships reflected in Note 5 to Registrant's financial
statements include the operating results of all Local Partnerships, irrespective
of Registrant's investment balances.
Cumulative losses and cash distributions in excess of investment in local
partnerships may result from a variety of circumstances, including a Local
Partnership's accounting policies, subsidy structure, debt structure and
operating deficits, among other things. In addition, the book value of
Registrant's investment in each Local Partnership (the "Local Partnership
Carrying Value") may be reduced if the Local Partnership Carrying Value is
considered to exceed the estimated value derived by management. Accordingly,
cumulative losses and cash distributions in excess of the investment or an
adjustment to a Local Partnership's Carrying Value are not necessarily
indicative of adverse operating results of a Local Partnership. See discussion
below under Local Partnership Matters regarding certain Local Partnerships
currently operating below economic break even levels.
Registrant's operations for the years ended March 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002
resulted in net losses of $1,092,174, $560,050 and $387,357, respectively. The
increase in net loss from 2003 to 2004 is primarily attributable to (i) an
increase in equity in loss of investment in local partnerships of approximately
$456,000, which increase is primarily attributable to operating losses of
certain Local Partnerships in which the Partnership continues to have an
investment balance and (ii) a loss of approximately $66,000 on the conversion of
an investment in bonds to a marketable equity security resulting from the
corporate restructuring of the bond issuer's debt. The increase in net loss from
2002 to 2003 is primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in interest revenue of
approximately $69,000 as a result of lower average balances of cash and cash
equivalents and investments in bonds and lower money market rates, (ii) an
accrual of $75,000 as a result of a new filing fee charged to partnerships in
the state of New Jersey and (iii) an increase in equity in loss of investment in
local partnerships of approximately $41,000, which increase is primarily
attributable to the recognition of income in fiscal 2002 of $150,000 that had
been recorded as a commitment to a local Partnership in a prior year, partially
offset by a decrease in the net operating losses of certain Local Partnerships
in which the Partnership continues to have an investment balance.
The Local Partnerships' loss from operations of approximately $4,282,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2003 includes depreciation and amortization expense of
approximately $3,996,000 and interest on non-mandatory debt of approximately
$755,000, and does not include principal payments on permanent mortgages of
approximately $752,000. The Local Partnerships' loss from operations of
approximately $4,197,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes
depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $3,956,000 and interest
on non-mandatory debt of approximately $682,000, and does not include principal
payments on permanent mortgages of approximately $754,000. The Local
Partnerships' loss from operations of approximately $4,130,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2001 includes depreciation and amortization expense of
approximately $4,057,000 and interest on non-mandatory debt of approximately
$604,000, and does not include principal payments on permanent mortgages of
approximately $769,000. The results of operations of the Local Partnerships for
the year ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected in future periods.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Local Partnership Matters
- -------------------------
Registrant's primary objective is to provide Low-income Tax Credits to limited
partners generally over a ten year period. The relevant state tax credit agency
has allocated each of Registrant's Local Partnerships an amount of Low-income
Tax Credits, which are generally available for a ten year period from the year
the Property is placed in service (the "Ten Year Credit Period"). The Ten Year
Credit Period was fully exhausted by all of the Properties as of December 31,
2001. The required holding period of each Property, in order to avoid Low-income
Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years from the year in which the Low-income Tax
Credits commence on the last building of the Property (the "Compliance Period").
The Properties must satisfy various requirements including rent restrictions and
tenant income limitations (the "Low-income Tax Credit Requirements") in order to
maintain eligibility for the recognition of the Low-income Tax Credit at all
times during the Compliance Period. Once a Local Partnership has become eligible
for the Low-income Tax Credit, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an event
of recapture if its Property fails to remain in compliance with the Low-income
Tax Credit Requirements. As of December 31, 2003, the Compliance Period of
twelve Local Partnerships has expired.
The Properties are principally comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income
multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United States and
Puerto Rico. Many of the Local Partnerships receive rental subsidy payments,
including payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974 ("Section 8"). The subsidy agreements expire at various
times during and after the Compliance Periods of the Local Partnerships. Since
October 1997, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD") has issued a series of directives related to project based Section 8
contracts that define owners' notification responsibilities, advise owners of
project based Section 8 properties of what their options are regarding the
renewal of Section 8 contracts, provide guidance and procedures to owners,
management agents, contract administrators and HUD staff concerning renewal of
Section 8 contracts, provide policies and procedures on setting renewal rents
and handling renewal rent adjustments and provide the requirements and
procedures for opting-out of a Section 8 project based contract. Registrant
cannot reasonably predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget
negotiations, the outcome of which could result in a reduction in funds
available for the various federal and state administered housing programs
including the Section 8 program. Such changes could adversely affect the future
net operating income before debt service ("NOI") and debt structure of any or
all Local Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy or similar subsidies.
Three Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts are currently subject to renewal
under applicable HUD guidelines. In addition, two Local Partnerships entered
into restructuring agreements in 2001, resulting in both a lower rent subsidy
(resulting in lower NOI) and lower mandatory debt service.
The Local Partnerships have various financing structures which include (i)
required debt service payments ("Mandatory Debt Service") and (ii) debt service
payments that are payable only from available cash flow subject to the terms and
conditions of the notes, which may be subject to specific laws, regulations and
agreements with appropriate federal and state agencies ("Non-Mandatory Debt
Service or Interest"). During the year ended December 31, 2003, revenue from
operations of the Local Partnerships has generally been sufficient to cover
operating expenses and Mandatory Debt Service. Most of the Local Partnerships
are effectively operating at or above break even levels, although certain Local
Partnerships' operating information reflects operating deficits that do not
represent cash deficits due to their mortgage and financing structure and the
required deferral of property management fees. However, as discussed below,
certain Local Partnerships' operating information indicates below break even
operations after taking into account their mortgage and financing structure and
any required deferral of property management fees.
Cobbet Hill Associates Limited Partnership ("Cobbet") was originally financed
with a first mortgage with mandatory monthly payment terms with the
Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency ("MHFA") and a second mortgage with MHFA
under the State Housing Assistance for Rental Production Program (the "SHARP
Operating Loan") whereby proceeds would be advanced monthly as an operating
subsidy (the "Operating Subsidy Payments"). The terms of the SHARP Operating
Loan called for declining Operating Subsidy Payments over its term (not more
than 15 years). However, due to the economic condition of the Northeast region
in the early 1990's, MHFA instituted an operating deficit loan (the "ODL")
program that supplemented the scheduled reduction in the Operating Subsidy
Payments. Effective October 1, 1997, MHFA announced its intention to eliminate
the ODL program, such that Cobbet no longer receives the ODL, without which
Cobbet is unable to make the full mandatory debt service payments on its first
mortgage. MHFA issued a formal notice of default dated February 2, 2004. The
Local General Partners are currently negotiating with MHFA to transfer the
ownership of the Property to the unaffiliated management agent, which will
redevelop and recapitalize the Property. Registrant does not believe that it
will receive any proceeds from such a transfer. Since the date MHFA ceased
funding the ODL through December 31, 2003, Cobbet has accumulated approximately
$2,117,000 of principal and interest arrearages. The Registrant's investment
balance in Cobbet, after cumulative
10
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
---------------------------------------------------------------
equity losses, became zero during the year ended March 30, 1994. The Compliance
Period in connection with Cobbet expired on December 31, 2003.
4611 South Drexel Limited Partnership ("South Drexel") reported an operating
deficit of approximately $40,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 due to
vacancies resulting from deferred unit maintenance and associated required
capital improvements. As of March 30, 2004, Registrant has advanced $539,415, of
which $114,149 was advanced during the year then ended. The Local General
Partner represents that payments on the mortgage and real estate taxes are
current. Registrant's investment balance in South Drexel, after cumulative
equity losses, became zero during the year ended March 30, 1996 and advances
made by Registrant have been offset by additional equity in loss of investment
in local partnerships. South Drexel generated approximately $1.7 per Unit per
year of credits to the limited partners upon the expiration of its Low-income
Tax Credit allocation in 2000.
Dunbar Limited Partnership No. 2 ("Dunbar 2"), which restructured it's mortgage
and housing assistance contract under the mark to market program in 2001,
incurred an operating deficit for the year ended December 31, 2003 of
approximately $72,000. The Local General Partner reported that during the
process of Dunbar 2's debt and subsidy restructuring, certain operating expenses
were not considered in the underwriting budget when the Mandatory Debt Service
and rents were restructured. The Local General Partner is currently working with
HUD and the lender to modify the loans and subsidy agreements in an effort to
eliminate or reduce the operating deficits. The Local General Partner represents
that payments on the mortgages and real estate taxes are current. Registrant's
investment balance in Dunbar 2, after cumulative equity losses, became zero
during the year ended March 30, 1997. The Compliance Period in connection with
Dunbar 2 expired on December 31, 2003.
On November 3, 2003, the Local General Partners of Blue Hill Housing Limited
Partnership ("Blue Hill") entered into a Purchase and Sale agreement whereby the
Property was expected to be sold on March 1, 2004. The original agreement has
been renegotiated and the Local General Partners anticipate executing an Amended
and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement with a new closing date scheduled for
July 2004. The estimated proceeds to be received by Registrant in connection
with the sale is approximately $1,000,000. The agreement is subject to various
terms and conditions and is subject to termination; accordingly, there is no
assurance that such sale will ultimately take place or that the estimated
proceeds will be realized. The Compliance Period in connection with Blue Hill
expired on December 31, 2003.
Inflation

Inflation is not expected to have a material adverse impact on Registrant's
operations during its period of ownership of the Local Partnership Interests.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
- ------------------------------------------
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires Registrant to
make certain estimates and assumptions. The following section is a summary of
certain aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or
complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of Registrant's
financial condition and results of operations. Registrant believes that there is
a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making
these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in
the financial statements.
o Registrant accounts for its investment in local partnerships in accordance
with the equity method of accounting since Registrant does not control the
operations of a Local Partnership.
o If the book value of Registrant's investment in a Local Partnership
exceeds the estimated value derived by management, Registrant reduces its
investment in any such Local Partnership and includes such reduction in
equity in loss of investment in local partnerships.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").
FIN 46 is applicable immediately for variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created before February 1,
2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are applicable no later than December 15, 2003.
The Registrant has not created any variable interest entities after January 31,
2003. In December 2003, the FASB redeliberated certain proposed modifications
and revised FIN 46 ("FIN 46 (R)"). The revised provisions are applicable no
later than the first reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption
of FIN 46 (R) is not expected to have a material impact on the Registrant's
financial reporting and disclosure.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous
guidance, could be classified as equity or "mezzanine" equity, by now requiring
those instruments to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some
circumstances) in the balance sheets. Further, SFAS No. 150 requires disclosure
regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement alternatives. The
guidance in SFAS No. 150 generally was effective for all financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was otherwise effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The
Registrant has evaluated SFAS No. 150 and determined that it does not have an
impact on the Registrant's financial reporting and disclosures.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
---------------------------------------------------------
Registrant has invested a significant portion of its working capital reserves in
corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury instruments and U.S. government and agency
securities. The market value of such investments is subject to fluctuation based
upon changes in interest rates relative to each investment's maturity date and
the associated bond rating. Since Registrant's investments in bonds have various
maturity dates through 2007, the value of such investments may be adversely
impacted in an environment of rising interest rates in the event Registrant
decides to liquidate any such investment prior to its maturity. Although
Registrant may utilize reserves to assist an under performing Property, it
otherwise intends to hold such investments to their respective maturities.
Therefore, Registrant does not anticipate any material adverse impact in
connection with such investments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners
American Tax Credit Properties L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Tax Credit
Properties L.P. as of March 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of
operations, partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended March 30, 2004. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (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
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of American Tax Credit
Properties L.P. as of March 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its
operations, changes in partners' equity (deficit) and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended March 30, 2004, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002
1 Organization, Purpose and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
American Tax Credit Properties L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed on February
12, 1988 and the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership was filed
under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. There was no
operating activity until admission of the limited partners on August 19, 1988.
The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in leveraged low-income
multifamily residential complexes (the "Property" or "Properties") that qualify
for the low-income tax credit in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Low-income Tax Credit"), through the acquisition of limited
partnership equity interests (the "Local Partnership Interests") in partnerships
(the "Local Partnership" or "Local Partnerships") that are the owners of the
Properties. The Partnership has invested in one Property that also qualifies for
the historic rehabilitation tax credit in accordance with Section 48(g) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Richman Tax Credit Properties L.P. (the "General
Partner") was formed on February 10, 1988 to act as a general partner of the
Partnership.
Basis of Accounting and Fiscal Year
- -----------------------------------
The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting for
both financial reporting and tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes, the
Partnership's fiscal year ends March 30 and its quarterly periods end June 29,
September 29 and December 30. The Local Partnerships have a calendar year for
financial reporting purposes. The Partnership and the Local Partnerships each
have a calendar year for income tax purposes.
Investment in Local Partnerships
- --------------------------------
The Partnership accounts for its investment in local partnerships in accordance
with the equity method of accounting, under which the investment is carried at
cost and is adjusted for the Partnership's share of each Local Partnership's
results of operations and by cash distributions received. Equity in loss of each
investment in Local Partnership allocated to the Partnership is generally
recognized to the extent of the Partnership's investment balance in each Local
Partnership. Equity in loss in excess of the Partnership's investment balance in
a Local Partnership is allocated to other partners' capital in any such Local
Partnership. Previously unrecognized equity in loss of any Local Partnership is
recognized in the fiscal year in which equity in income is earned by such Local
Partnership or additional investment is made by the Partnership. Distributions
received subsequent to the elimination of an investment balance for any such
investment in a Local Partnership are recorded as other income from local
partnerships.
The Partnership regularly assesses the carrying value of its investments in
local partnerships. If the carrying value of an investment in a Local
Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, the Partnership
reduces its investment in any such Local Partnership and includes such reduction
in equity in loss of investment in local partnerships.
Advances made to Local Partnerships are recorded as investments in local
partnerships. Such advances are considered by the Partnership to be voluntary
loans to the respective Local Partnerships and the Partnership may be reimbursed
at a future date to the extent such Local Partnerships generate distributable
cash flow or receive proceeds from sale or refinancing. The Partnership
recognizes additional equity in loss of investment in local partnerships to the
extent of such advances.
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash
equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates
market value.

1. Organization, Purpose and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued)
Investments in Bonds and Marketable Equity Security
- ---------------------------------------------------
Investments in bonds and marketable equity security are classified as
available-for-sale; the Partnership intends to hold such investments for an
indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell
an investment would be based on various factors, including significant movements
in interest rates and liquidity needs. Investments in bonds and marketable
equity security are carried at estimated fair value and unrealized gains or
losses are included as items of comprehensive income (loss) and are reported as
a separate component of partners' equity (deficit).
Premiums and discounts on investments in bonds are amortized (accreted) using
the effective yield method over the life of the investment. Amortized premiums
offset interest revenue, while the accretion of discounts and zero coupon bonds
are included in interest revenue. Realized gain (loss) on redemption or sale of
investments in bonds are included in, or offset against, interest revenue on the
basis of the adjusted cost of each specific investment redeemed or sold.
Income Taxes
- ------------
No provision for income taxes has been made because all income, losses and tax
credits are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective tax
returns. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS")
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Partnership has included in Note 7
disclosures related to differences in the book and tax bases of accounting.
Reclassifications
- -----------------
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was otherwise effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The
Partnership has evaluated SFAS No. 150 and determined that it does not have an
impact on the Partnership's financial reporting and disclosures.
2. Capital Contributions
On May 11, 1988, the Partnership commenced the offering of units (the "Units")
through Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the "Selling
Agent"). On August 19, 1988 and November 15, 1988, under the terms of the
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the
"Partnership Agreement"), the General Partner admitted limited partners to the
Partnership in two closings. At these closings, subscriptions for a total of
41,286 Units representing $41,286,000 in limited partners' capital contributions
were accepted. In connection with the offering of Units, the Partnership
incurred organization and offering costs of $4,781,252, of which $75,000 was
capitalized as organization costs and $4,706,252 was charged to the limited
partners' equity as syndication costs. The Partnership received a capital
contribution of $100 from the General Partner.
Net loss is allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner
in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

3. Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of March 30, 2004, the Partnership has $76,527 in cash and cash equivalents
that are deposited in interest-bearing accounts with an institution that is not
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
4. Investments in Bonds and Marketable Equity Security
The Partnership carries its investments in bonds and marketable equity security
as available-for-sale because such investments are used to facilitate and
provide flexibility for the Partnership's obligations, including the providing
of operating advances resulting from circumstances that may arise in connection
with the Local Partnerships. Such bonds include $243,873 restricted in
connection with a Local Partnership's outstanding letter of credit (see Note 8).
Investments in bonds and marketable equity security are reflected in the
accompanying balance sheets at estimated fair value. In connection with the
reorganization of an issuer of one of the Partnership's investments in bonds,
such investment was converted to a marketable equity security. In connection
with such conversion, the Partnership recognized a loss of $66,150 as reflected
in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended March 30, 2004.
As of March 30, 2004, certain information concerning investments in bonds is as

following Local Partnerships:
1. 4611 South Drexel Limited Partnership ("South Drexel")*;
2. Blue Hill Housing Limited Partnership;
3. Cityside Apartments, L.P.*;
4. Cobbet Hill Associates Limited Partnership ("Cobbet")*;
5. Dunbar Limited Partnership;

13. Pine Hill Estates Limited Partnership;
14. Santa Juanita Limited Dividend Partnership L.P. ("Santa Juanita");
15. Vista del Mar Limited Dividend Partnership L.P.; and
16. Winnsboro Homes Limited Partnership.
*An affiliate of the General Partner is a general partner of and/or provides
services to the Local Partnership.
Although the Partnership generally owns a 98.9%-99% limited partnership interest
in the Local Partnerships, the Partnership and American Tax Credit Properties II
L.P. ("ATCP II"), a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of the
Partnership, together, in the aggregate, own a 99% Local Partnership Interest in
Santa Juanita; the ownership percentages of the Partnership and ATCP II of Santa
Juanita are 34.64% and 64.36%, respectively.
The Properties are principally comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income
multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United States and
Puerto Rico. The required holding period of each Property, in order to avoid
Low-income Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years from the year in which the
Low-income Tax Credits commence on the last building of the Property (the
"Compliance Period"). The rents of the Properties are controlled by federal and
state agencies pursuant to applicable laws and regulations. Under the terms of
each of the Local Partnership's partnership agreements, the Partnership has made
capital contributions in the aggregate amount of $35,255,914, which includes
advances to certain Local Partnerships. As of December 31, 2003, the Local
Partnerships have outstanding mortgage loans payable totaling approximately
$72,005,000 and accrued interest payable on such loans totaling approximately
$6,781,000, which are secured by security interests and liens common to mortgage
loans on the Local Partnerships' real property and other assets.
Equity in loss of investment in local partnerships is limited to the
Partnership's investment balance in each Local Partnership; any excess is
applied to other partners' capital in any such Local Partnership (see Note 1).
The amount of such excess losses applied to other partners' capital was
$3,583,130, $3,956,247 and $3,932,727 for the years ended December 31, 2003,
2002 and 2001, respectively, as reflected in the combined statements of
operations of the Local Partnerships reflected herein Note 5.
The combined balance sheets of the Local Partnerships as of December 31, 2003
and 2002 and the combined statements of operations of the Local Partnerships for
the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 are reflected on pages 25 and

============= ============= =============
Cobbet was originally financed with a first mortgage with mandatory monthly
payment terms with the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency ("MHFA") and a
second mortgage with MHFA under the State Housing Assistance for Rental
Production Program (the "SHARP Operating Loan") whereby proceeds would be
advanced monthly as an operating subsidy (the "Operating Subsidy Payments"). The
terms of the SHARP Operating Loan called for declining Operating Subsidy
Payments over its term (not more than 15 years). However, due to the economic
condition of the Northeast region in the early 1990's, MHFA instituted an
operating deficit loan (the "ODL") program that supplemented the scheduled
reduction in the Operating Subsidy Payments. Effective October 1, 1997, MHFA
announced its intention to eliminate the ODL program, such that Cobbet no longer
receives the ODL, without which Cobbet is unable to make the full mandatory debt
service payments on its first mortgage. MHFA issued a formal notice of default
dated February 2, 2004. The Local General Partners are currently negotiating
with MHFA to transfer the ownership of the Property to the unaffiliated
management agent, which will redevelop and recapitalize the Property. The
Partnership does not believe that it will receive any proceeds from such a
transfer. Since the date MHFA ceased funding the ODL through September 30, 2003,
Cobbet has accumulated approximately $2,117,000 of principal and interest
arrearages. The Partnership's investment balance in Cobbet, after cumulative
equity losses, became zero during the year ended March 30, 1994. The Compliance
Period in connection with Cobbet expired on December 31, 2003.
The Partnership advanced $114,149 and $57,356 during the years ended March 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively, to South Drexel to fund operating deficits, which

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership incurs an annual
management fee ("Management Fee") in the amount of $175,466 payable to the
General Partner for its services in connection with the management of the
affairs of the Partnership. the Partnership incurred a Management Fee of
$175,466 for each of the three years ended March 30, 2004. Unpaid Management
Fees in the amount of $43,867 and $43,866 are recorded as payable to general
partner and affiliates in the accompanying balance sheets as of March 30, 2004
and 2003.
In addition, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
authorized to contract for administrative services provided to the Partnership.
Pursuant to an agreement with the General Partner, the Partnership incurs an
annual administration fee ("Administration Fee") in the amount of $152,758 and
an annual additional administration fee ("Additional Administration Fee") in the
amount of $30,965 for administrative services provided to the Partnership,
subject to certain provisions of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership
incurred an Administration Fee and an Additional Administration Fee in the
amounts of $152,758 and $30,965, respectively, for each of the three years ended
March 30, 2004. Such amounts are aggregated and reflected under the caption
administration fees in the accompanying statements of operations. Unpaid
Administration Fees in the amount of $35,102 and $35,138 are included in payable
to general partner and affiliates in the accompanying balance sheets as of March
30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The rents of the Properties, many of which receive rental subsidy payments,
including payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974 ("Section 8"), are subject to specific laws, regulations
and agreements with federal and state agencies. The subsidy agreements expire at
various times during and after the Compliance Periods of the Local Partnerships.
Since October 1997, the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD") has issued a series of directives related to project based
Section 8 contracts that define owners' notification responsibilities, advise
owners of project based Section 8 properties of what their options are regarding
the renewal of Section 8 contracts, provide guidance and procedures to owners,
management agents, contract administrators and HUD staff concerning renewal of
Section 8 contracts, provide policies and procedures on setting renewal rents
and handling renewal rent adjustments and provide the requirements and
procedures for opting-out of a Section 8 project based contract. The Partnership
cannot reasonably predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget
negotiations, the outcome of which could result in a reduction in funds
available for the various federal and state administered housing programs
including the Section 8 program. Such changes could adversely affect the future
net operating income before debt service ("NOI") and debt structure of any or
all Local Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy or similar subsidies.
Three Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts are currently subject to renewal
under applicable HUD guidelines. In addition, two Local Partnerships entered
into restructuring agreements in 2001, resulting in both a lower rent subsidy
(resulting in lower NOI) and lower mandatory debt service.
In connection with Cobbet's financing, the Partnership had provided collateral
to secure a letter of credit in the amount of $242,529, which had been
established for the purpose of covering future operating deficits, if any, of
Cobbet. The lender drew directly from the letter of credit in full in June 2004.
