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 general partner 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.
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 this
affiliate of the registrant to execute control over the management and policies
of the subsidiaries.
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 ("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, 1998, the Partnership had acquired interests in 27
Local Partnerships and does not anticipate making any additional investments.
See Item 2, Properties. The Partnership sold 24.98% of its limited partnership
interest in United-Glenarden I Limited Partnership and sold 32.32% of its
limited partnership interest in Property Development Associates, L.P. (See
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships).

Investment Objectives, Tax Credits
The investment objectives of the Partnerships 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 Apartment
Complexes and Rehabilitations Projects.
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 Property, ten years from the date of investment or, if later, the date
the Property is placed in service; 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 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 the Projects, or (iii) there is a reduction in the taxpayer's
interest in the Project at any time during the 15-year Compliance Period that
began with the first tax year of the Credit Period. None of the Local
Partnerships in which the Partnership has acquired an interest has suffered an
event of recapture.
The Tax Credits are available for a ten-year period which commences when the
property is placed into service. However, the annual Tax Credits available in
the year in which the Apartment Complex is placed in service must be prorated
based upon the months remaining in the year. The amount of the annual Tax
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
undertake to fund 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, 1998, all operating deficit
guarantees have expired. Generally the amounts funded pursuant to the Operating
Deficit Guarantee are 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 $17,061,894, $17,193,735 and $17,174,288 in Tax Credits during the
1997, 1996 and 1995 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, 1998, 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
In September 1997, Congress enacted the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and
Affordability Act of 1997 ("MAHRAA") which provides for the renewal of Section 8
Housing Assistance Payments Contracts ("Section 8 Contracts") to be based upon
market rentals instead of the above-market rentals which is generally the case
under existing Section 8 Contracts. As a result, Section 8 Contracts that are
renewed in the future in projects insured by the Federal Housing Administration
("FHA") may not provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties to
meet the debt service requirements of these existing FHA-insured mortgages.
MAHRAA also provides for the restructuring of these mortgage loans so that the
annual debt service on the restructured loan (or loans) can be supported by
Section 8 rents established at the market rents. The restructured loans will be
held by the current lender or another lender. There can be no assurance that a
property owner will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness
pursuant to the new rules implementing MAHRAA or that an owner would choose to
restructure the mortgage if it were able to participate. MAHRAA is supposed to
go into effect on October 28, 1998; regulations implementing the program must be
issued prior to that time. It should be noted that there are many uncertainties
as to the economic and tax impact on a property owner because of the combination
of the reduced Section 8 contract rents and the restructuring of the existing
FHA-insured mortgage loan under MAHRAA.
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, for
example the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("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 full market rents when the rental assistance contracts expire.
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 Gen-
-4-
eral 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
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. 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.

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. Rents for the
residential units are determined annually by HUD and reflect increases in
consumer price indices in various geographic areas.
Management continuously reviews the physical state of the properties and budgets
improvements when required, which are generally funded from cash flow, from
operations or release of replacement reserve escrows.
Management continuously reviews the insurance coverage of the properties and
believes such coverage is adequate.
See Item 1, Business, above for the general competitive conditions to which the
properties described above are subject.
Real estate taxes are calculated using rates and assessed valuations determined
by the township or city in which the property is located. Such taxes have
approximated 1% of the aggregate cost of the properties as shown in Schedule III
to the financial statements included herein.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
This information is incorporated by reference to the discussions of Alexis,
Metropolitan, Santa Juanita, Robin Housing, Campeche and Bayamon in the Results
of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships contained in Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters.
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 the restrictions should prevent a public trading market from developing and
may adversely affect the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her
investment quickly. It is expected that such procedures will remain in effect
until such time, if ever, as further revision of the Revenue Act of 1987 may
permit the Partnership to lessen the scope of the restrictions.
As of June 8, 1998, the Partnership has 8,429 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 the BACs holders as of March
31, 1998. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to
its BACs holders other than from net refinancings or sales proceeds.
-8-
There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the list of BACs
holders of limited partnerships such as the Partnership. Often these requests
are made by a person who, only a short time before making the request, acquired
merely a small number of BACs in the partnership and seeks the list for an
improper purpose, a purpose that is not in the best interest of the partnership
or is harmful to the partnership. In order to best serve and protect the
interests of the Partnership and all of its investors, the General Partners have
adopted a policy with respect to requests for the Partnership's list of BACs
holders. This policy is intended to protect investors from unsolicited and
coercive offers to acquire BACs holders' interests and does not limit any other
rights the General Partners may have under the Partnership Agreement or
applicable law.
-9-
Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
The information set forth below presents selected financial data of the
Partnership. There were no operations prior to commencement of the Offering of
BACs on July 20, 1988. Additional financial information is set forth in the
audited financial statements in Item 8 hereof.

During the years ended March 31, 1994 through 1998, total assets decreased
primarily due to depreciation, partially offset by net additions to property and
equipment. For the year ended March 31, 1997, there was also a decrease in
assets due to a loss on impairment of assets.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to the time that all of the net proceeds had been fully invested in Local
Partnerships, the Partnership's primary source of funds was from the proceeds of
its public offering. During the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the
primary sources of liquidity included: (i) working capital reserves in the
original amount of 3% of gross equity raised; (ii) interest earned on the
working capital reserves; and (iii) cash distributions from operations of the
Local Partnerships. All these sources of funds are available to meet obligations
of the Partnership.
As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership has invested all of the net proceeds in
twenty-seven Local Partnerships. Approximately $400,000 of the purchase price
remains to be paid (none of which is held in escrow). During the year ended
March 31, 1998, $39,000 was paid.
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, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, amounts
received from operations of the Local Partnerships were approximately $272,000,
$621,000 and $11,000. 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.
During the year ended March 31, 1998, cash and cash equivalents of the
Partnership and its 27 consolidated Local Partnerships decreased approximately
$779,000. This decrease was a result of an increase in acquisitions of property
and equipment ($792,000), construction in progress ($604,000), repayments of
mortgage loans ($5,505,000), an increase in cash held in escrow ($363,000), a
net increase in due to local general partners and affiliates ($791,000), and an
increase in deferred costs ($193,000), which exceeded cash flows provided by
operating activities ($1,435,000), an increase in due to selling partners
($72,000), proceeds from mortgage notes ($4,000,000), proceeds from sales of
interests ($1,400,000) and an increase in capitalization of consolidated
subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($562,000). Included in the
adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash provided by operating activities
is depreciation and amortization of approximately $8,704,000.
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements with all
Local Partnerships, pursuant to which the general partners of the Local
Partnerships had agreed to fund operating deficits for a specified period of
time. As of March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, approximately $5,526,000, $5,580,000
and $4,965,000, respectively had been funded by the Local General Partners to
meet such obligations. Of the total amount funded through March 31, 1998,
approximately $1,033,000 has been recorded as a capital contribution, $136,000
was funded by the Partnership, $60,000 has been recognized as income during the
1992 Fiscal Year, and the remaining balance of approximately $4,297,000 is
recorded as noninterest-bearing operating advances to be repaid from operating
cash flow. As of March 31, 1998, all such guarantees have expired.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounting to
approximately $3,874,000 and $2,378,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31,
1998 and March 31, 1997,
-11-
respectively. 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 continued allowing the accrual without payment of these amounts
but are under no obligation to continue to do so.
In September 1997, Congress enacted the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and
Affordability Act of 1997 ("MAHRAA") which provides for the renewal of Section 8
Housing Assistance Payments Contracts ("Section 8 Contracts") to be based upon
market rentals instead of the above-market rentals which is generally the case
under existing Section 8 Contracts. As a result, Section 8 Contracts that are
renewed in the future in projects insured by the Federal Housing Administration
("FHA") may not provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties to
meet the debt service requirements of these existing FHA-insured mortgages.
MAHRAA also provides for the restructuring of these mortgage loans so that the
annual debt service on the restructured loan (or loans) can be supported by
Section 8 rents established at the market rents. The restructured loans will be
held by the current lender or another lender. There can be no assurance that a
property owner will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness
pursuant to the new rules implementing MAHRAA or that an owner would choose to
restructure the mortgage if it were able to participate. MAHRAA is supposed to
go into effect on October 28, 1998; regulations implementing the program must be
issued prior to that time. It should be noted that there are many uncertainties
as to the economic and tax impact on a property owner because of the combination
of the reduced Section 8 contract rents and the restructuring of the existing
FHA-insured mortgage loan under MAHRAA.
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 is not
anticipated to impact future results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition in a material way. However, the Partnership's loss of its investment
in a Local Partnership will eliminate the ability to generate future Tax Credits
from such Local Partnership and may also result in recapture of Tax Credits if
the investment is lost before the expiration of the Credit Period.
Except as described above, management is not aware of any trends or events,
commitments or uncertainties which have not otherwise been disclosed, that will
or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the
only impact would be 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 offerings 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 are not
included in the financial statement carrying amount.
Results of Operations
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capital-
-12-
ized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of,
the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and
accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is
reflected in earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when
management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of
the property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time
property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally
using discounted cash flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and
the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.
Through March 31, 1998, the Partnership has recorded approximately $4,727,000 as
a loss on impairment of assets.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively).
The 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 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years totaled $8,830,832,
$13,407,126 and $6,532,558, respectively. The net loss for the 1996 Fiscal Year
includes a loss on impairment of assets of approximately $4,727,000 (see Note 4
in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data).
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 $17,061,894, $17,193,735 and $17,174,288 in Tax Credits during the
1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
1997 vs. 1996
Rental income remained fairly consistent with a decrease of less than 1% for the
1997 Fiscal Year as compared to the 1996 Fiscal Year.
Other income increased approximately $520,000 for the 1997 Fiscal Year as
compared to the 1996 Fiscal Year primarily due to a settlement of an estimated
liability for water and sewer expenses in 1996 which was written off and
recognized as other income in 1997 at one Local Partnership, partially offset by
small decreases at two other Local Partnerships.
A gain on sale of interests of approximately $155,000 was realized during the
1997 Fiscal Year (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data).
Total expenses excluding general and administrative, general and
administrative-related parties, repairs and maintenance, operating, insurance
and loss on impairment of assets remained fairly consistent with a decrease of
approximately 2% for the 1997 Fiscal Year as compared to the 1996 Fiscal Year.
General and administrative expense increased approximately $724,000 for the 1997
Fiscal Year as compared to the 1996 Fiscal Year primarily due to an increase in
number of employees and related payroll and benefits, an increase in legal fees,
and an increase in advertising expense at one Local Partnership, along with the
opening of a management and leasing office at a second Local Partnership as well
as general increases in general and administrative expenses at three other Local
Partnerships. General and administrative expenses increased at the Partnership
-13-
level due to increased legal costs pertaining to the Campeche Isle restructuring
and the partial sale of interests in two Local Partnerships.
General and administrative expenses-related parties increased approximately
$314,000 for the 1997 Fiscal Year as compared to the 1996 Fiscal Year primarily
due to a change at one Local Partnership from an unaffiliated property manager
to one which is an affiliate.
Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $1,087,000 for the 1997 Fiscal
Year as compared to the 1996 Fiscal Year primarily due to an extensive repair
and maintenance program to correct neglected conditions at one Local
Partnership, a repainting of the building at a second Local Partnership and
increases in general repairs at four other Local Partnerships.
Operating expenses decreased approximately $452,000 for the 1997 Fiscal Year as
compared to the 1996 Fiscal Year primarily due to overaccrual of estimated water
and sewer charges in 1996 at one Local Partnership, decreases in costs of
supplies at a second Local Partnership as well as general decreases in operating
expenses at three other Local Partnerships.
Insurance decreased approximately $218,000 primarily due to a change of
insurance carriers at two Local Partnerships as well as a general decrease in
insurance expense at a third Local Partnership.
1996 vs. 1995
Rental income increased approximately 3% for the 1996 Fiscal Year as compared to
the corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to the merger of Spring Creek
Retail Associates, L.P. ("Retail") with Spring Creek Associates, L.P. ("Spring
Creek") effective August 16, 1996 (see Note 1 to the financial statements in
Item 8.). Before such merger, the commercial rent was accrued by Spring Creek on
the basis of cash flow from Retail's operations, pursuant to the terms of a net
lease agreement. Excluding Spring Creek, rental income increased approximately
2% primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income decreased approximately $316,000 for the 1996 Fiscal Year as
compared to the corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to a settlement
agreement in 1995 which resulted in the return of funds allegedly distributed in
an unauthorized manner by the managing agent to Bayamon's operating bank account
(see Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships).
Total expenses excluding general and administrative-related parties and
provision for impairment of assets remained fairly consistent with an increase
of approximately 5% for the 1996 Fiscal Year as compared to the 1995 Fiscal
Year.
General and administrative-related parties increased approximately $1,233,000
for the 1996 Fiscal Year as compared to the corresponding period in 1995
primarily due to an increase in partnership management fees payable to the
General Partners.
A loss on impairment of assets was recorded in the 1996 Fiscal Year (see Note 4
in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data).

Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
(a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concern
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, including losses of approximately $25,000, $550,000 and
$42,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively. 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 $50,292 and $53,086 in the 1997 and 1996
Fiscal Years, respectively, and $342,286 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
$49,530. These items raise substantial doubt about Whittier's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment in Whittier at March
31, 1998 and 1997 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 $25,000, $550,000 (after loss on
impairment of assets of approximately $490,000), and $42,000 for the 1997, 1996
and 1995 Fiscal Years.
Alexis Park Apartments
During 1990, vapor fumes were discovered in several apartments at Alexis Park
Apartments, a Louisiana Partnership in Commendam ("Alexis"). As a result, 47 of
the 280 units were vacated as ordered by the Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality ("LDEQ"). At December 31, 1997, 43 of these units have
been cleared for occupancy by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospital.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has placed the site on
the list of proposed Superfund sites. The EPA performed indoor air tests at the
site on 28 units and issued a draft report on January 2, 1997 that found that
none of the units had acute air pollution levels, but further states that two
units were found to have sufficient amounts of air pollutants to possibly cause
health concerns after years of continual exposure. The report recommended the
installation of mechanical systems to reduce air pollutant levels to acceptable
amounts and the sealing of penetrations or openings in the floor slab and walls.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, such remediation was performed. The EPA
has informed management that additional testing of the project site began in
early 1998. At December 31, 1997, management is unaware of any additional or
potential remediation or clean-up costs that will be required and accordingly,
is unable to estimate the possible cost to Alexis of any remediation or clean-up
that may be required in the future.
In July of 1991, the former Local General Partner of Alexis received
notification from the U.S. Department of Justice that some of its officers were
under investigation for possible violations of Federal criminal statutes arising
out of the filing of the Alexis partnership tax returns for the years 1988 and
1989. Included in this notification was an invitation to appear before the Grand
Jury. The former general partner of Alexis opted to have its corporate counsel
submit to the U.S. Attorney and Internal Revenue Service, a written summary of
the former general partner's involvement with Alexis and the filing of Alexis'
tax returns.
The former Local General Partner of Alexis denies any wrong doing. The facts and
focus of this investigation are unclear and the ultimate effects, if any, on
Alexis' financial statements are not determinable.
-15-
Management believes the testing conducted by the LDEQ and the EPA has provided
sufficient evidence that there is no significant environmental hazard at the
Alexis Park Apartments site. Management, along with the mayor of Bossier City,
has been active in requesting that the EPA remove the site from the list of
proposed Superfund sites and that no further tests be conducted. Alexis has also
requested assistance with bringing this issue to closure from its congressman
and U.S. senators who have been responsive.
Although the environmental issue is in many respects beyond its control,
management intends to continue its efforts in bringing this issue to a close and
believes the favorable test results thus far reduce the chances of a disruptive
action by the EPA and provide an opportunity for Alexis to continue as a going
concern. In addition, Alexis has sustained losses and its current liabilities
exceed its current assets by approximately $123,000. Management of Alexis
expects operating income to improve for 1998 from both increased occupancy and
slightly reduced expenses and also believes cash flows for 1998 will be
sufficient to meet liabilities and subject to the environmental uncertainty
enable Alexis to continue as a going concern. These items raise substantial
doubt about Alexis' ability to continue as a going concern. The maximum loss
which the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in Alexis. The
Partnership's investment in Alexis at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately
$620,000 and $879,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance was
approximately $1,200 and $3,800, respectively. Alexis' net loss after minority
interest amounted to approximately $259,000, $137,000 and $244,000, for the
1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership
The financial statements for Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership ("Goodfellow")
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
which contemplates continuation of Goodfellow as a going concern. Goodfellow has
sustained substantial operating losses in recent years, has used substantial
amounts of working capital in its operations and has depleted the operating
deficit escrow originally established in 1990 in the amount of $163,000.
Further, at December 31, 1997, current liabilities exceed current assets and
prepaid expenses by $57,669.
A prepayment of $163,000 was due on the promissory note payable to St. Louis
Community Development Agency ("CDA") in August 1996, upon release of the
Operating Deficit Guarantee Escrow. The Local General Partners have defaulted on
this requirement and placed $163,000 in an interest-bearing money market account
in the name of the project. This account has been voluntarily restricted by the
Local General Partners and has a balance of $171,218 at December 31, 1997. The
general partners of Goodfellow plan to negotiate with CDA in an attempt to
restructure the agreement to allow the project to place those funds in the
operating deficit escrow account held in trust by Missouri Housing Development
Committee ("MHDC"). These funds would then be used to fund future operating
deficits. In addition, management has increased rents $15 per month beginning in
January 1998, as leases renew to help meet cash flow needs.
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying balance sheet of Goodfellow is dependent upon continued operations,
which in turn is dependent upon Goodfellow's ability to negotiate an agreement
with CDA, and the success of its future operations. Management believes that
actions presently being taken to review Goodfellow's operating and financial
requirements provide the opportunity for Goodfellow to continue as a going
concern, however, the outcome of the planned negotiations with CDA is uncertain.
The Partnership's investment in Goodfellow at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
reduced to zero by prior years' losses, and the minority interest balance was
zero at each date. Goodfellow's
-16-
net income (loss) after minority interest amounted to approximately $200,
($2,829,000) (after loss on impairment of assets of approximately ($2,649,000))
and ($102,000) for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
The financial statements for Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
("Willoughby") have been prepared on the basis that it will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. There are certain
conditions that raise substantial doubt about Willoughby's ability to continue
as a going concern. Willoughby has had operating losses, operating cash flow
deficiencies and equity deficiencies. Management plans to continue to minimize
costs within its control and seek 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, 1998 and 1997 has been reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the
minority interest balance amounted to approximately $180,000 and $182,000,
respectively. Willoughby's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $141,000, $273,000 and $309,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
United-Glen Arden I Limited Partnership
The United-Glen Arden I Limited Partnership (United-Glen Arden I) incurred a net
loss of $732,764 during the year ended December 31, 1997. In addition,
United-Glen Arden I is in default of the terms of its loan agreement. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about United-Glen Arden I's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
if United-Glen Arden I is unable to continue in existence. The Partnership's
investment in United-Glen Arden I at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately
$767,000 and $1,692,000, and the minority interest balance was approximately
$192,000 and $0, respectively. United-Glen Arden I's net loss after minority
interest was approximately $550,000, $690,000 and $804,000 for the 1997, 1996
and 1995 Fiscal Years.
United-Glen Arden II Limited Partnership
The United-Glen Arden II Limited Partnership (United-Glen Arden II) incurred a
net loss of $488,048 during the year ended December 31, 1997, and as of that
date, total liabilities ex-ceeded total assets by $2,076.236. In addition,
United-Glen Arden II is in default of the terms of its loan agreement. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about United-Glen Arden II's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
if United-Glen Arden II is unable to continue in existence. The Partnership's
investment in United-Glen Arden II at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was zero and the
minority interest balance was zero. United-Glen Arden II's net loss after
minority interest was approximately $488,000, $391,000 and $496,000 for the
1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years.
b) Subsidiary Partnerships - Other
Santa Juanita II Limited Partnership
A bank filed a suit against the Local Partnership Santa Juanita II Limited
Partnership ("Santa Juanita") for non-payment of the monthly installments
required by a second mortgage loan agreement. During February 1994, the court
issued a judgment against Santa Juanita de-
-17-
manding immediate payment of the second mortgage note with an outstanding
principal balance of $474,656, plus accrued interest and legal expenses. A
significant portion of Santa Juanita's operating assets is pledged as collateral
for this note and foreclosure by the bank would seriously impair Santa Juanita's
continued existence. In May 1996, the special limited partner of Santa Juanita
instituted proceedings to formally remove the Local General Partner of Santa
Juanita. In June 1996, the Local General Partner of Santa Juanita filed a
voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
("Chapter 11") and in June 1997 the court ordered that Santa Juanita's Amended
and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership and Management Agreement should
not be part of the Local General Partner's bankruptcy. As such, the court
ordered the Local General Partner to surrender the books and records of Santa
Juanita to Liberty Associates, the special limited partner and in July, the case
was dismissed in the Bankruptcy Court. Liberty Associates amended Santa
Juanita's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership to remove the
former Local General Partner as general partner and management agent and
admitted a new general partner and management agent. Management of Santa Juanita
is currently pursuing a workout agreement with the lenders in respect to Santa
Juanita's mortgage debt. The financial statements for the 1997 and 1996 Fiscal
Years for this subsidiary partnership were not audited. The maximum loss which
the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in Santa Juanita. The
Partnerships investment in Santa Juanita at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
approximately $405,000 and $478,000, respectively, and the minority interest
balance was zero at each date. Santa Juanita's net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $112,000, $90,000 and $90,000 for the 1997, 1996 and
1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Gramco Development Limited Dividend
Gramco Development Limited Dividend Partnership, L.P. ("Bayamon") was granted
net funds of $4,867,000. In the event a substantial violation of the provisions
of certain agreements between Bayamon 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.
The Partnership's investment in Bayamon at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
approximately $974,000 and $1,231,000 and the minority interest balance was
approximately $423,000 and $425,000, respectively. Bayamon's net (loss) income
after minority interest amounted to approximately, ($257,000), ($275,000) and
$77,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Robin Housing Associates
Robin Housing Associates ("Robin Housing") is a defendant in a personal injury
lawsuit. The Partnership's insurance carrier intends to defend the Partnership
vigorously. Counsel believes that the insurance coverage is adequate to cover
any liability arising from this action. It is management's opinion that no
accrual for potential losses is currently warranted in the financial statements.
The maximum loss which the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment
in Robin Housing. The Partnership's investment in Robin Housing at March 31,
1998 and 1997 was approximately $123,000 and $160,000 and the minority interest
balance was $544,000 and $728,000, respectively. Robin Housing's net loss after
minority interest amounted to approximately $24,000, $30,000 and $36,000 for the
1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Metropolitan Towers Associates, L.P.
The subsidiary partnership, Metropolitan Towers Associates, L.P.
("Metropolitan"), is a defendant in a legal proceeding brought about by one of
its tenants for damages suffered. It is man-
-18-
agement's opinion that the claim should be covered by Metropolitan's insurance
policy. The maximum loss which the Partnership would be liable for is its net
investment in Metropolitan. The Partnership's investment in Metropolitan at
March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $1,228,000 and $1,340,000,
respectively, and the minority interest was zero at each date. Metropolitan's
net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $113,000, $131,000
and $147,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Rolling Green Limited Partnership
Rolling Green Limited Partnership ("Rolling Green") operates and is regulated by
HUD under Section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act. Rents received by
Rolling Green are subsidized by Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments. Rental
income from such Assistance Payments totaled $1,406,915 and $1,198,880 in the
1997 and 1996 Fiscal Years, respectively. In September 1998, the three Section 8
contracts will expire. Management has been assured in verbal communications that
such contracts will be renewed. However, uncertainties regarding the future of
HUD Programs exist. It is not practical to estimate the impact upon Rolling
Green's operations if the rents were to be respectively changed to market value.
Campeche Isle Apartments, L.P.
On July 24, 1997, Campeche Isle Apartments Limited Partnership ("Campeche")
emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. While in bankruptcy, Campeche
completed a restructuring of its mortgage debt and satisfied its $4,200,000
mortgage debt through the following transactions: Bank of Boston made a
$4,000,000 loan to Campeche and the Partnership as co-borrowers. Such loan is
secured by a first mortgage on Campeche Isle Apartments, a pledge of the
Partnership's interest in Spring Creek and recourse guarantees of the
Partnership and one of its General Partners, Campeche, and Campeche's Local
General Partner. In addition to satisfying the mortgage, the restructuring
agreement requires Campeche to make approximately $800,000 of required repairs
to the project. The Partnership raised approximately $1,400,000 in June 1997 by
selling a portion of its limited partnership interest in two subsidiary
partnerships to Related Glenport Associates, an affiliate of the General
Partner. The Partnership sold 24.98% of its limited partnership interest in
United-Glenarden I Limited Partnership for $600,000 resulting in a gain of
$224,482 and sold 32.32% of its limited partnership interest in Property
Development Associates, L.P. for $800,000 resulting in a loss of $69,905. A
portion of the proceeds were used to repay the Mortgagee, pay closing costs on
the new loan and to fund debt service and an escrow account for repairs. Monthly
debt service on the new loan will be paid by the net income of Campeche and the
balance by the Partnership. In addition, any distributions received by the
Partnership from Spring Creek must be placed in escrow at Bank of Boston. The
new loan matures on December 31, 1998. On or prior to the maturity of the new
loan a refinancing will be completed which will have a term of at least equal to
the remaining compliance period of the project which ends 2004. As of December
31, 1997, total advances to Campeche from the Partnership totaled approximately
$1,516,000. The financial statements for the 1996 Fiscal Year for this
subsidiary partnership were not audited. The Partnership's investment in
Campeche at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $0 and $454,000,
respectively, and the minority interest balance was zero at each date.
Campeche's net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $845,000,
$334,000 and $334,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
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. The Local General Partner also communicated to the limited
partners its desire to withdraw as Local General Partner and property manager in
an effort to eliminate the need for it to further secure loans from its
affiliated entities to keep the project going. The limited partners retained
-19-
a national property management firm to operate the property effective January 1,
1997 and replaced the Local General Partner effective January 16, 1997.
The new Local General Partner, which is an affiliate of the Related General
Partner, had been in contact with the lender, Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA"), shortly after the default. A Reinstatement and
Modification Agreement dated July 24, 1997, and effective March 1, 1997 was
entered into between Williamsburg and FNMA. Terms of the agreement include: 1.
Interest only on the loan for 36 months. 2. Replacement reserve escrow payments
waived during 1997. 3. Net operating income is to be turned over to the loan
servicer monthly. 4. Execution of a Debt Service Reserve Agreement.
The Debt Service Agreement, also dated July 24, 1997, called for a total of
$275,000 be deposited into a debt service escrow account for the mutual benefit
of Williamsburg and Williamsburg Residential II, L.P. (an adjoining and
affiliated project). If the monthly net operating income turned over to the loan
servicer is less than the required mortgage and escrow payment, the debt service
escrow account is drawn upon. At December 31, 1997, balances in the two entities
accounts totaled $97,653.
In 1997, the Partnership advanced Williamsburg funds to pay legal costs,
delinquent mortgage payments, and to set up a debt service escrow account. All
of which were required as part of the Reinstatement and Modification Agreement
dated July 24, 1997 with FNMA. The advances do not bear interest and are
short-term in nature.
The Partnership's investment in Williamsburg has been written down to zero by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $736,000
and $0 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Williamsburg net loss after
minority interest amounted to approximately $220,000, $1,667,000 (after
provision for impairment of assets of approximately $1,588,000) and $142,000 for
the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Year 2000 Compliance
As the year 2000 approaches, an issue has emerged regarding how existing
application software programs and operating systems can accommodate this date
value. Failure to adequately address this issue could have potentially serious
repercussions. The General Partners are in the process of working with the
Partnership's service providers to prepare for the year 2000. Based on
information currently available, the Partnership does not expect that it will
incur significant operating expenses or be required to incur material costs to
be year 2000 compliant.
Other
The Partnership's investment, as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships, is
subject to the risks incident to the 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 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
-20-
not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make the rental assistance payments it
has contracted to make; and that when the rental assistance contracts expire,
there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents in a Local
Partnership's Apartment Complex.
The Local Partnerships are impacted by inflation in several ways. Inflation
allows for increases in rental rates generally to reflect the impact of higher
operating and replacement costs. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships
adversely by increasing operating costs as, for example, for such items as fuel,
utilities and labor.
There has recently been an increasing number of requests for the list of BACs
holders of limited partnerships such as the Partnership. Often these requests
are made by a person who, only a short time before making the request, acquired
merely a small number of BACs in the partnership and seeks the list for an
improper purpose, a purpose that is not in the best interest of the partnership
or is harmful to the partnership. In order to best serve and protect the
interests of the Partnership and all of its investors, the General Partners have
adopted a policy with respect to requests for the Partnership's list of BACs
holders. This policy is intended to protect investors from unsolicited and
coercive offers to acquire BACs holders' interests and does not limit any other
rights the General Partners may have under the Partnership Agreement or
applicable law.

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, 1998 and
1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
partners' capital, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996 (the 1997, 1996 and 1995 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 (1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years) subsidiary
partnerships whose losses aggregated $6,318,514, $10,828,750 and $6,098,858 for
the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose assets constituted
98% of the Partnership's assets at March 31, 1998 and 1997, presented in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. The financial statements for 26
(1997 Fiscal Year) and 25 (1996 and 1995 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. The financial statements of one (Fiscal 1997) and
two (Fiscal 1996 and 1995) of these subsidiary partnerships were unaudited.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, 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, 1998 and 1997 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the
years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
-23-
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of seven limited partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of six of these
subsidiary partnerships were prepared assuming that each will continue as a
going concern. The financial statements for the 1997 Fiscal Year for one of
these subsidiary partnerships were not audited. The seven subsidiary
partnerships' net losses aggregated $1,761,033 (Fiscal 1997), $4,964,266 (Fiscal
1996) and $2,092,791 (Fiscal 1995) and their assets aggregated $42,936,661 and
$44,639,208 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, 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.

incurred a net operating loss of $732,764 for 1997. These conditions raise

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
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
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 Partnership's investment in each Local
Partnership represents a 20% to 98% interest in that Local Partnership.
The Partnership has acquired interests in 27 Local Partnerships as of March 31,
1998, and does not anticipate making any additional investments.
Effective August 16, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Consent ("Agreement"),
Spring Creek Retail Associates, L.P. ("Retail") was merged with Spring Creek
Associates, L.P. ("Spring Creek") in which the Partnership has a limited
partnership interest. Before such merger, the commercial net rental income from
Retail was accrued by Spring Creek on the basis of cash flow from Retail's
operations, pursuant to the terms of a net lease agreement. Effective upon the
merger, the partnership agreement of Spring Creek was amended and the net lease
agreement was cancelled.
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.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and 27 subsidiary partnerships in which the Partnership is a limited partner.
Through the rights of the Partnership and/or a General Partner, which General
Partner 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.

LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS II L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's fiscal year ends on March
31. 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 generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"). All subsidiaries have calendar year ends. Accounts of the subsidiaries
have been adjusted for intercompany 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 $391,000 $524,000 and $532,000 for the years ended March
31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years), respectively. In
consolidation, all subsidiary partnership losses are included in the
Partnership's capital account except for losses allocated to minority interest
capital.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments
in short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of
three months or less.
c) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the
time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated
depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in
earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates
amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an
undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time, property
investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using
discounted cash flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and the
depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
d) Organization and Offering Costs
Costs incurred to organize the Partnership, including but not limited to legal,
accounting, and registration fees, are considered deferred organization
expenses. These costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over a
60-month period. 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.
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 generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
h) Financial Statements Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 Fiscal Year Financial
Statement to conform with the 1997 and 1996 Fiscal Year Financial Statement
presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net loss as previously
reported.
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 non-trading
purposes) for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Cash Held in Escrow

Not Practicable $63,196,924 * $94,343,691 *
*Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of the
mortgage notes payable because mortgage programs with similar characteristics
are not currently available to the partnerships.

The estimated fair value of the Partnership's due to selling partners and due to

Included in property and equipment is $6,955,050 of acquisition fees paid or
accrued to the general partners and $1,606,014 of acquisition expenses as of
March 31, 1998 and 1997. In addition, as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, buildings
and improvements include $7,015,991 of capitalized interest.
Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 amounted
to $8,358,728, $8,584,497 and $7,947,111, respectively.
In connection with the rehabilitation of the properties, the subsidiary
partnerships have incurred developer's fees of $20,563,695 to the Local General
Partners and affiliates. Such fees have been included in the cost of property
and equipment.
During the 1997 and 1996 Fiscal Years, there was a decrease in accumulated
depreciation in the amounts of $113,286 and $61,438, respectively, due to
write-offs on dispositions.
On December 31, 1996, the buildings at Whittier Plaza Associates, L.P. were
deemed to be impaired and written down to estimated fair value. Fair value was
determined based on forecasted net operating income, capitalized at a rate of
10%. Carrying value exceeded estimated fair value by approximately $490,000.
Accordingly, a loss of that amount has been charged to operations in the 1996
Fiscal Year.
Williamsburg Residential L.P. had experienced significant losses and cash flow
problems and was in default on the mortgage note. As a result of the operating
losses and cash flow problems, management of Williamsburg determined that an
impairment of the property existed at December 31, 1996. The impairment loss was
determined to be $1,588,193 and has been charged to operations in the 1996
Fiscal Year. The amount of the impairment loss was determined based on the
difference in the carrying value of the property and the valuation of the
property based on capitalized cash flows.
As a result of cash flow deficiencies described in Note 10, land and apartment
buildings at Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership have been deemed to be
impaired and written down to their fair value. The fair value at December 31,
1996 was estimated by management to be $1,140,000. Management estimated the fair
value by capitalizing estimated annual cash flows before debt service using a
13% capitalization rate. The carrying value of the apartment buildings at
December 31, 1996 exceeded their fair value by $2,648,894. An impairment loss of
that amount has been charged to operations in the 1996 Fiscal Year.

NOTE 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concern
The auditors for six subsidiary Partnerships, Whittier Plaza Associates Limited
Partnership, Alexis Park Apartments, Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership,
Willougby-Wyckoff Housing Associates, United-Glen Arden I Limited Partnership
and United-Glen Arden II Limited Partnership, modified their reports on the 1997
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, including losses of approximately $25,000, $550,000 and
$42,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively. 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 $50,292 and $53,086 in the 1997 and 1996
Fiscal Years, respectively, and $342,286 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
$49,530. These items raise substantial doubt about Whittier's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment in Whittier at March
31, 1998 and 1997 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 $25,000, $550,000 (after loss on
impairment of assets of approximately $490,000), and $42,000 for the 1997, 1996
and 1995 Fiscal Years.
Alexis Park Apartments
- - ----------------------
During 1990, vapor fumes were discovered in several apartments at Alexis Park
Apartments, a Louisiana Partnership in Commendam ("Alexis"). As a result, 47 of
the 280 units were vacated as ordered by the Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality ("LDEQ"). At December 31, 1997, 43 of these units have
been cleared for occupancy by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospital.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has placed the site on
the list of proposed Superfund sites. The EPA performed indoor air tests at the
site on 28 units and issued a draft report on January 2, 1997 that found that
none of the units had acute air pollution levels, but further states that two
units were found to have sufficient amounts of air pollutants to possibly cause
health concerns after years of continual exposure. The report recommended the
installation of mechanical systems to reduce air pollutant levels to acceptable
amounts and the sealing of penetrations or openings in the floor slab and walls.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, such remediation was performed. The EPA
has informed management that additional testing of the project site began in
early 1998. At December 31, 1997, management is unaware of any additional or
potential remediation or clean-up costs that will be required
-40-

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
and accordingly, is unable to estimate the possible cost to Alexis of any
remediation or clean-up that may be required in the future.
In July of 1991, the former Local General Partner of Alexis received
notification from the U.S. Department of Justice that some of its officers were
under investigation for possible violations of Federal criminal statutes arising
out of the filing of the Alexis partnership tax returns for the years 1988 and
1989. Included in this notification was an invitation to appear before the Grand
Jury. The former general partner of Alexis opted to have its corporate counsel
submit to the U.S. Attorney and Internal Revenue Service, a written summary of
the former general partner's involvement with Alexis and the filing of Alexis'
tax returns.
The former Local General Partner of Alexis denies any wrong doing. The facts and
focus of this investigation are unclear and the ultimate effects, if any, on
Alexis' financial statements are not determinable.
Management believes the testing conducted by the LDEQ and the EPA has provided
sufficient evidence that there is no significant environmental hazard at the
Alexis Park Apartments site. Management, along with the mayor of Bossier City,
has been active in requesting that the EPA remove the site from the list of
proposed Superfund sites and that no further tests be conducted. Alexis has
also requested assistance with bringing this issue to closure from its
congressman and U.S. senators who have been responsive.
Although the environmental issue is in many respects beyond its control,
management intends to continue its efforts in bringing this issue to a close and
believes the favorable test results thus far reduce the chances of a disruptive
action by the EPA and provide an opportunity for Alexis to continue as a going
concern. In addition, Alexis has sustained losses and its current liabilities
exceed its current assets by approximately $123,000. Management of Alexis
expects operating income to improve for 1998 from both increased occupancy and
slightly reduced expenses and also believes cash flows for 1998 will be
sufficient to meet liabilities and subject to the environmental uncertainty
enable Alexis to continue as a going concern. These items raise substantial
doubt about Alexis' ability to continue as a going concern. The maximum loss
which the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in Alexis. The
Partnership's investment in Alexis at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately
$620,000 and $879,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance was
approximately $1,200 and $3,800, respectively. Alexis' net loss after minority
interest amounted to approximately $259,000, $137,000 and $244,000, for the
1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership
- - ------------------------------------
The financial statements for Goodfellow Place Limited Partnership ("Goodfellow")
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
which contemplates continuation of Goodfellow as a going concern. Goodfellow has
sustained substantial operating losses in recent years, has used substantial
amounts of working capital in its operations and has depleted the operating
deficit escrow originally established in 1990 in the amount of $163,000.
Further, at December 31, 1997, current liabilities exceed current assets and
prepaid expenses by $57,669.
A prepayment of $163,000 was due on the promissory note payable to St. Louis
Community Development Agency ("CDA") in August 1996, upon release of the
Operating Deficit Guaran-
-41-
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS II L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
tee Escrow. The Local General Partners have defaulted on this requirement and
placed $163,000 in an interest-bearing money market account in the name of the
project. This account has been voluntarily restricted by the Local General
Partners and has a balance of $171,218 at December 31, 1997. The general
partners of Goodfellow plan to negotiate with CDA in an attempt to restructure
the agreement to allow the project to place those funds in the operating deficit
escrow account held in trust by Missouri Housing Development Committee ("MHDC").
These funds would then be used to fund future operating deficits. In addition,
management has increased rents $15 per month beginning in January 1998, as
leases renew to help meet cash flow needs.
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying balance sheet of Goodfellow is dependent upon continued
operations, which in turn is dependent upon Goodfellow's ability to negotiate an
agreement with CDA, and the success of its future operations. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to review Goodfellow's operating and
financial requirements provide the opportunity for Goodfellow to continue as a
going concern, however, the outcome of the planned negotiations with CDA is
uncertain.
The Partnership's investment in Goodfellow at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
reduced to zero by prior years' losses, and the minority interest balance was
zero at each date. Goodfellow's net income (loss) after minority interest
amounted to approximately $200, ($2,829,000) (after loss on impairment of assets
of approximately ($2,649,000)) and ($102,000) for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
- - -------------------------------------
The financial statements for Willoughby-Wyckoff Housing Associates
("Willoughby") have been prepared on the basis that it will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. There are certain
conditions that raise substantial doubt about Willoughby's ability to continue
as a going concern. Willoughby has had operating losses, operating cash flow
deficiencies and equity deficiencies. Management plans to continue to minimize
costs within its control and seek 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, 1998 and 1997 has been reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the
minority interest balance amounted to approximately $180,000 and $182,000,
respectively. Willoughby's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $141,000, $273,000 and $309,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
United-Glen Arden I Limited Partnership
- - ---------------------------------------
The United-Glen Arden I Limited Partnership (United-Glen Arden I) incurred a net
loss of $732,764 during the year ended December 31, 1997. In addition,
United-Glen Arden I is in default of the terms of its loan agreement. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about United-Glen Arden I's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
if United-Glen Arden I is unable to continue in existence. The Partnership's

I at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $767,000 and $1,692,000, and the
minority interest balance was approximately $192,000 and $0, respectively.
United-Glen Arden I's net loss after minority interest was approximately
$550,000, $690,000 and $804,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years.
United-Glen Arden II Limited Partnership
- - ----------------------------------------
The United-Glen Arden II Limited Partnership (United-Glen Arden II) incurred a
net loss of $488,048 during the year ended December 31, 1997, and as of that
date, total liabilities exceeded total assets by $2,076.236. In addition,
United-Glen Arden II is in default of the terms of its loan agreement. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about United-Glen Arden II's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
if United-Glen Arden II is unable to continue in existence. The Partnership's
investment in United-Glen Arden II at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was zero and the
minority interest balance was zero. United-Glen Arden II's net loss after
minority interest was approximately $488,000, $391,000 and $496,000 for the
1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years.
b) Subsidiary Partnerships - Other
Santa Juanita II Limited Partnership
- - ------------------------------------
A bank filed a suit against the Local Partnership Santa Juanita II Limited
Partnership ("Santa Juanita") for non-payment of the monthly installments
required by a second mortgage loan agreement. During February 1994, the court
issued a judgment against Santa Juanita demanding immediate payment of the
second mortgage note with an outstanding principal balance of $474,656, plus
accrued interest and legal expenses. A significant portion of Santa Juanita's
operating assets is pledged as collateral for this note and foreclosure by the
bank would seriously impair Santa Juanita's continued existence. In May 1996,
the special limited partner of Santa Juanita instituted proceedings to formally
remove the Local General Partner of Santa Juanita. In June 1996, the Local
General Partner of Santa Juanita filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") and in June 1997 the court
ordered that Santa Juanita's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership and Management Agreement should not be part of the Local General
Partner's bankruptcy. As such, the court ordered the Local General Partner to
surrender the books and records of Santa Juanita to Liberty Associates, the
special limited partner and in July, the case was dismissed in the Bankruptcy
Court. Liberty Associates amended Santa Juanita's Amended and Restated Agreement
of Limited Partnership to remove the former Local General Partner as general
partner and management agent and admitted a new general partner and management
agent. Management of Santa Juanita is currently pursuing a workout agreement
with the lenders in respect to Santa Juanita's mortgage debt. The financial
statements for the 1997 and 1996 Fiscal Years for this subsidiary partnership
were not audited. The maximum loss which the Partnership would be liable for is
its net investment in Santa Juanita. The Partnerships investment in Santa
Juanita at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $405,000 and $478,000,
respectively, and the minority interest balance was zero at each date. Santa
Juanita's net loss after minority interest amounted to approximately $112,000,
$90,000 and $90,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
Gramco Development Limited Dividend
- - -----------------------------------
Gramco Development Limited Dividend Partnership, L.P. ("Bayamon") was granted
net funds of $4,867,000. In the event a substantial violation of the provisions
of certain agreements between Bayamon 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.
The Partnership's investment in Bayamon at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
approximately $974,000 and $1,231,000 and the minority interest balance was
approximately $423,000 and $425,000, respectively. Bayamon's net (loss) income
after minority interest amounted to approximately, ($257,000), ($275,000) and
$77,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Robin Housing Associates
- - ------------------------
Robin Housing Associates ("Robin Housing") is a defendant in a personal injury
lawsuit. The Partnership's insurance carrier intends to defend the Partnership
vigorously. Counsel believes that the insurance coverage is adequate to cover
any liability arising from this action. It is management's opinion that no
accrual for potential losses is currently warranted in the financial statements.
The maximum loss which the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment
in Robin Housing. The Partnership's investment in Robin Housing at March 31,
1998 and 1997 was approximately $123,000 and $160,000 and the minority interest
balance was $544,000 and $728,000, respectively. Robin Housing's net loss after
minority interest amounted to approximately $24,000, $30,000 and $36,000 for the
1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Metropolitan Towers Associates, L.P.
- - ------------------------------------
The subsidiary partnership, Metropolitan Towers Associates, L.P.
("Metropolitan"), is a defendant in a legal proceeding brought about by one of
its tenants for damages suffered. It is management's opinion that the claim
should be covered by Metropolitan's insurance policy. The maximum loss which the
Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in Metropolitan. The
Partnership's investment in Metropolitan at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
approximately $1,228,000 and $1,340,000, respectively, and the minority interest
was zero at each date. Metropolitan's net loss after minority interest amounted
to approximately $113,000, $131,000 and $147,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995
Fiscal Years, respectively.
Rolling Green Limited Partnership
- - ---------------------------------
Rolling Green Limited Partnership ("Rolling Green") operates and is regulated by
HUD under Section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act. Rents received by
Rolling Green are subsidized by Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments. Rental
income from such Assistance Payments totaled $1,406,915 and $1,198,880 in the
1997 and 1996 Fiscal Years, respectively. In September 1998 the three Section 8
contracts will expire. Management has been assured in verbal communications that
such contracts will be renewed. However, uncertainties regarding the future of
HUD Programs exist. It is not practical to estimate the impact upon Rolling
Green's operations if the rents were to be respectively changed to market value.
Campeche Isle Apartments, L.P.
- - ------------------------------
On July 24, 1997, Campeche Isle Apartments Limited Partnership ("Campeche")
emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. While in bankruptcy, Campeche
completed a restruc-
-44-
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS II L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
turing of its mortgage debt and satisfied its $4,200,000 mortgage debt through
the following transactions: Bank of Boston made a $4,000,000 loan to Campeche
and the Partnership as co-borrowers. Such loan is secured by a first mortgage on
Campeche Isle Apartments, a pledge of the Partnership's interest in Spring Creek
and recourse guarantees of the Partnership and one of its General Partners,
Campeche, and Campeche's Local General Partner. In addition to satisfying the
mortgage, the restructuring agreement requires Campeche to make approximately
$800,000 of required repairs to the project. The Partnership raised
approximately $1,400,000 in June 1997 by selling a portion of its limited
partnership interest in two subsidiary partnerships to Related Glenport
Associates, an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership sold 24.98% of
its limited partnership interest in United-Glenarden I Limited Partnership for
$600,000 resulting in a gain of $224,482 and sold 32.32% of its limited
partnership interest in Property Development Associates, L.P. for $800,000
resulting in a loss of $69,905. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay the
Mortgagee, pay closing costs on the new loan and to fund debt service and an
escrow account for repairs. Monthly debt service on the new loan will be paid by
the net income of Campeche and the balance by the Partnership. In addition, any
distributions received by the Partnership from Spring Creek must be placed in
escrow at Bank of Boston. The new loan matures on December 31, 1998. On or prior
to the maturity of the new loan a refinancing will be completed which will have
a term of at least equal to the remaining compliance period of the project which
ends 2004. As of December 31, 1997, total advances to Campeche from the
Partnership totaled approximately $1,516,000. The financial statements for the
1996 Fiscal Year for this subsidiary partnership were not audited. The
Partnership's investment in Campeche at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
approximately $0 and $454,000, respectively, and the minority interest balance
was zero at each date. Campeche's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $845,000, $334,000 and $334,000 for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
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. The Local General Partner also communicated to the limited
partners its desire to withdraw as Local General Partner and property manager in
an effort to eliminate the need for it to further secure loans from its
affiliated entities to keep the project going. The limited partners retained a
national property management firm to operate the property effective January 1,
1997 and replaced the general partner effective January 16, 1997.
The new Local General Partner, which is an affiliate of the Related General
Partner, had been in contact with the lender, Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA"), shortly after the default. A Reinstatement and
Modification Agreement dated July 24, 1997, and effective March 1, 1997 was
entered into between Williamsburg and FNMA. Terms of the agreement include: 1.
Interest only on the loan for 36 months. 2. Replacement reserve escrow payments
waived during 1997. 3. Net operating income is to be turned over to the loan
servicer monthly. 4. Execution of a Debt Service Reserve Agreement.
The Debt Service Agreement, also dated July 24, 1997, called for a total of
$275,000 be deposited into a debt service escrow account for the mutual benefit
of Williamsburg and Williamsburg Residential II, L.P. (an adjoining and
affiliated project). If the monthly net operating income turned over to the loan
servicer is less than the required mortgage and escrow payment,
-45-
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS II L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
the debt service escrow account is drawn upon. At December 31, 1997, balances in
the two entities accounts totaled $97,653.
In 1997, the Partnership advanced Williamsburg funds to pay legal costs,
delinquent mortgage payments, and to set up a debt service escrow account. All
of which were required as part of the Reinstatement and Modification Agreement
dated July 24, 1997 with FNMA. The advances do not bear interest and are
short-term in nature.
The Partnership's investment in Williamsburg has been written down to zero by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $736,000
and $0 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Williamsburg net loss after
minority interest amounted to approximately $220,000, $1,667,000 (after
provision for impairment of assets of approximately $1,588,000) and $142,000 for
the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
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, 1998, uninsured cash and cash
equivalents approximated $1,981,000.
d) Line of Credit
Included in accounts payable and other liabilities at March 31, 1998, is
approximately $693,000 borrowed by one subsidiary partnership, Rolling Green,
against a $1,000,000 line of credit. Rolling Green is required to pay
forty-eight monthly installments of $10,602 including interest at an annual rate
of 10.25% with a balloon payment of approximately $662,000 due on July 15, 1998.
e) 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, for
example 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 full market rents when the rental assistance
contracts expire.
f) 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 recog-
-46-

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
nized in the first three years will be recognized in the 11th through 13th
years. For the 1997, 1996 and 1995 tax years, Housing Tax Credits of
$17,061,894, $17,193,735 and $17,174,288, were generated.
A portion of the low-income housing tax credits are subject to recapture in
future years if (i) the Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements,
(ii) there is a decrease in the qualified basis of the projects, or (iii) there
is a reduction in the taxpayer's interest in the project 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 L.P. II 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
11, 1998 on pages 23 and 24 and based on the reports of other auditors, we have
also audited supporting Schedule I for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 Fiscal Years and
Schedule III at March 31, 1998. In our opinion, and based on the reports of the
other auditors, these consolidated schedules present fairly, when read in
conjuction 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 seven limited partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of six of these
subsidiary partnerships were prepared assuming that each will continue as a
going concern. The financial statements for the 1997 Fiscal Year for one of
these subsidiary partnerships were not audited. The seven subsidiary
partnerships' net losses aggregated $1,761,033 (Fiscal 1997), $4,964,266 (Fiscal
1996) and $2,092,791(Fiscal 1995) and their assets aggregated $42,936,661 and
$44,639,208 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, 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.
