PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
- -------
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 17, 1988.
The General Partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties III L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), and Liberty GP
III Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Liberty General Partner"). The general
partner of the Related General Partner is Related Credit Properties III Inc., a
Delaware corporation.
On May 2, 1989, 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 March 30, 1990, (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 $139,101,500 of gross proceeds of the Offering from 9,082
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 ("Housing Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform
Act of 1986, and some of which ("Rehabilitation Projects"; and together with the
Apartment Complexes, the "Properties") are eligible for the historic
rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit"; and together
with the Housing Tax Credit, the "Tax Credits"). Some of the Apartment Complexes
benefit from one or more other forms of federal or state housing assistance. The
Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership represents from 27% to 98% of
the Partnership interests in the Local Partnership. As of March 31, 2003 the
Partnership has disposed of one of its 62 original Properties. As of March 31,
2003, approximately $109,000,000 (not including acquisition fees) of net
proceeds have been invested in the remaining 61 Local Partnerships. The
Partnership does not anticipate making any additional investments. See Item 2,
Properties, below.
Liberty Associates is the special limited partner in all of the remaining Local
Partnerships. Liberty Associates has certain rights and obligations in its role
as special limited partner which permit this affiliate of the registrant to
exercise control over the management and policies of the Local Partnerships.
The investment objectives of the Partnership are to:
1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to substantial Tax Credits over the period of
the Partnership's entitlement to claim such Tax Credits (for each Property,
generally 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") with
respect to each Property.
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
Properties.
4. Provide cash distributions when available from the operations of the
Properties, current taxes on which are expected to be substantially deferred.
2
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
business income.
One of the Partnership's objectives is to entitle qualified BACs holders to Tax
Credits over the Credit Period. Each of the Local Partnerships in which the
Partnership has acquired an interest has been allocated by the relevant state
credit agency the authority to recognize Tax Credits during the Credit Period
provided that the Local Partnership satisfies the rent restriction, minimum
set-aside and other requirements for recognition of the Tax Credits at all times
during the 15-year period (the "Compliance Period") commencing at the beginning
of the Credit Period. Once a Local Partnership has become eligible to recognize
Housing Tax Credits, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an event of
"recapture" if (1) the Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements ,
(2) there is a decrease in the qualified basis of the property, or (3) there is
a reduction in the taxpayer's interest in the property at any time during the
Compliance Period. None of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has
acquired an interest has suffered an event of recapture.
As of March 31, 2003, the Credit Periods for all of the Properties have expired,
although each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit
requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture
of the Tax Credits.
The Partnership no longer continues to meet its primary objective of generating
Tax Credits. The Partnership generated Tax Credits of approximately $1,274,000,
$8,019,000 and $15,786,000 during the tax years 2002, 2001 and 2000
respectively.
The Partnership 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.
Cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships have been relatively
immaterial. Management does not expect that the distributions received from the
Local Partnerships will be sufficient to permit cash distributions to BACs
holders. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to
BACs holders other than distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds upon the
disposition of Properties.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will continue to achieve any of
its investment objectives in the future.
Certain Subsidiary Partnerships are the beneficiaries of certain subsidy
agreements pursuant to which the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD") subsidizes the amount of rent that the Subsidiary
Partnership earns. Pursuant to those subsidy agreements, the Subsidiary
Partnerships are subject to HUD restrictions which limit annual cash
distributions to partners and restrict the Subsidiary Partnerships from selling
or otherwise liquidating their assets during the period that the agreement with
HUD is in existence without HUD's approval.
In order for certain Subsidiary Partnerships to qualify for the section 421A
program ("Section 421A Program") and the inclusionary zoning program
("Inclusionary Zoning Program"), they must comply with certain requirements by
local authorities as to the level of rent that may be charged to tenants, the
tenants' incomes, the obligation to operate the property in accordance with rent
stabilization guidelines, and restrictions on the rate at which housing units
may be released from such guidelines.
3
Also, certain Subsidiary Partnerships obtain grants from local authorities to
fund construction costs of the properties and in order to qualify must maintain
the low-income nature of the property, among other provisions.
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
20% of the Properties are located in any single state. There are also
substantial risks associated with owning Properties receiving government
assistance, such as the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to
enable 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.
Segments
- --------
The Partnership operates in one segment, which is the investment in multi-family
residential properties.
Competition
- -----------
The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all of the
Properties in which the Partnership has acquired an interest are subject to
active competition from similar properties in their respective vicinities. In
addition, various other limited partnerships may, in the future, be formed by
the General Partners and/or their affiliates to engage in businesses which may
be competitive with the Partnership.
Employees
- ---------
The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are performed
for the Partnership by 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 Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership Agreement").
4
Item 2. Properties.
As of March 31, 2003 the Partnership held a 98% limited partnership interest in
60 Local Partnerships and a 26.46% limited partnership interest in 1 Local
Partnership (the other 71.54% limited partnership interest is held by an
affiliate of the Partnership with the same management); together these 61 Local
Partnerships own 65 apartment complexes. During the year ended March 31, 2002,
the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in one Local Partnership,
Northwood Associates Limited Partnership (the "Sold Asset"). Set forth below is
a schedule of these Local Partnerships including certain information concerning
their respective Apartment Complexes (the "Local Partnership Schedule"). Further
information concerning these Local Partnerships and their Properties, including
any encumbrances affecting the properties, may be found in Item 15. Schedule
III.

Longfellow Heights Apartments, L.P.
Kansas City, MO (104) March 1991 100 92 96 99 94
(a) Consists of five apartment complexes located throughout Michigan.
(b) The Partnership's limited partnership interest was sold during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2002 (see Note 10 in Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplemental Data).
The General Partners have generally required, in connection with the
Partnership's investments in the Local Partnerships, that the general partners
of each Local Partnership (the "Local General Partners") undertake an obligation
to fund operating deficits (up to a stated maximum amount) of the Local
Partnership during a limited period of time following rent stabilization
("Guarantee Period"). In each case, the operating deficits have been funded by
Operating Loans which will not bear interest and will be repaid only out of 50%
of available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds. The
gross amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregate approximately
$18,700,000, of which approximately $17,600,000 had expired as of March 31,
2003. In cases where the General Partners deem it appropriate, the obligations
of a Local General Partner under the operating deficit and/or rent-up guarantees
are secured by letters of credit and/or cash escrow deposits.
The Housing Tax Credits are available for a ten-year period which commences when
the property is occupied by qualified tenants. However, the annual Housing Tax
Credit available in the year in which the Apartment Complex was first occupied
by qualified tenants must be prorated based upon the months remaining in the
year after the Apartment Complex was placed in service. The amount of the annual
Housing Tax Credit not available in the first year will be available in the
eleventh year. In certain cases, the Partnership acquired its interest in a
Local Partnership after the Local Partnership had placed its Apartment Complex
in service. In these cases, the Partnership was allocated Housing Tax Credits
only beginning in the month following the month in which the Partnership
acquired its interest. In addition, Housing Tax Credits allocated in any prior
period may not be claimed by the Partnership. The Partnership has also acquired
Local Partnership Interests in which some of the Local Partnerships owning
historic complexes qualify for the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit. The
amount of the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit is generally 20% of qualified
rehabilitation expenditures and is available in its entirety in the year the
rehabilitated building is placed in service or, under certain circumstances, in
the year in which the rehabilitation expenditure is made.
All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years and no
tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
Rent from commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies)
comprise less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Partnership. Maximum rents
for the residential units are determined annually by HUD and reflect
increases/decreases in consumer price indexes in various geographic areas.
Market conditions, however, determine the amount of rent actually charged.
Management annually reviews the physical state of the Properties and suggests to
the respective Local General Partner budget improvements, which improvements are
8
generally funded from cash flow from operations or release of replacement
reserve escrows to the extent available.
Management annually reviews the insurance coverage of the properties and
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.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
None.
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 27,820.3 Limited Partnership Interests, each
representing a $5,000 capital contribution to the Partnership, for aggregate
Gross Proceeds of $139,101,500. All of the issued and outstanding Limited
Partnership Interests have been issued to Liberty Credit Assignor III Inc. (the
"Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued 139,101.5 BACs to the
purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of $139,101,500. Each BAC
represents all of the economic and virtually all of the ownership rights
attributable to one-fifth of a Limited Partnership Interest held by the Assignor
Limited Partner. BACs may be converted into Limited Partnership Interests at no
cost to the holder (other than the payment of transfer costs not to exceed
$100), but Limited Partnership Interests so acquired are not thereafter
convertible into BACs.
Neither the BACs nor the Limited Partnership Interests are traded on any
established trading market. The Partnership does not intend to include the BACs
for quotation on NASDAQ or for listing on any national or regional stock
exchange or any other established securities market. The Revenue Act of 1987
contained provisions which have an adverse impact on investors in "publicly
traded partnerships." Accordingly, the General Partners have imposed limited
restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the Limited Partnership
Interests in secondary market transactions. Implementation of these restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing and may adversely affect
the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment quickly. It is
expected that such procedures will remain in effect until such time, if ever, as
further revision of the Revenue Act of 1987 may permit the Partnership to lessen
the scope of the restrictions.
As of April 10, 2003 the Partnership has approximately 9,080 registered holders
of an aggregate of 139,101.5 BACs.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the two General Partners.
Certain Subsidiary Partnerships are subject to HUD restrictions which limit
annual cash distributions to partners and restrict the Subsidiary Partnerships
9
from selling or otherwise liquidating their assets during the period that the
agreement with HUD is in existence without HUD's approval.
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement there are no material
restrictions that restrict the ability of the Partnership to make distributions.
However, the Partnership has made no distributions to BACs holders as of March
31, 2003. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to
BACs holders other than distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds upon the
disposition of Properties.

============= ============= ============= ============= =============
During the years ended March 31, 1999 through 2003, total assets decreased
primarily due to depreciation, partially offset by net additions to property and
equipment. During the years ended March 31, 1999 through 2003, total liabilities
increased primarily due to the accrual of principal and interest payments at one
of the Local Partnerships along with the increase in obligations at the
remaining Local Partnerships.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Through March 31, 2003, the Partnership has invested approximately $109,000,000
(not including acquisition fees) of net proceeds in 62 Local Partnerships, of
which approximately $260,000 remains to be paid including approximately $242,000
held in escrow. During the year ended March 31, 2002, the Partnership sold its
limited partnership interest in one Local Partnership. For a discussion of this
sale, see Note 10 in Item 8.
During the year ended March 31, 2003, the Partnership's primary source of funds
included (i) working capital reserves and (ii) cash distributions from the
operations of the Local Partnerships, neither of which are substantial in
amount.
For the year ended March 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership
and its 61 consolidated Subsidiary Partnerships decreased by approximately
$1,006,000. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in capitalization of
consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($757,000),
acquisition of property and equipment ($1,193,000), net repayments and
borrowings on mortgage notes ($2,716,000), an increase in cash held in escrow
relating to investing activities ($29,000) and an increase in deferred costs
($242,000) which exceeded cash provided by operating activities ($3,542,000), an
increase in advances from debt guarantor ($360,000) and a net increase in due to
Local General Partners and affiliates relating to investing and financing
activities ($31,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to
cash provided by operating activities is depreciation and amortization in the
amount of $11,201,000, loss on impairment of fixed assets $2,154,000 and an
increase in due to debt guarantor in the amount of $3,124,000.
The Partnership has an unconsolidated working capital reserve of approximately
$467,000 at March 31, 2003.
The Partnership is not expected to have access to additional sources of
financing, and in particular will not have the ability to assess BACs holders
for additional capital contributions to provide capital if needed by the
Partnership. Accordingly, if circumstances arise that cause a Local Partnership
to require capital in addition to that contributed by the Partnership and any
equity of the Local General Partner, the only sources from which such capital
needs will be able to be satisfied (other than the limited reserves available at
the Partnership level) will be additional third party debt financing (which may
not be available if, as expected, the Property owned by the Local Partnership is
already substantially leveraged or, as in the case of the New York program
properties, the incurrence of third party debt is not permitted) or additional
equity contributions of the Local General Partner or other equity sources (which
could adversely affect the Partnership's interest in operating cash flow and/or
proceeds of sale or refinancing of the Property and result in adverse tax
consequences to the BACs holders). There can be no assurance that any of such
sources would be readily available in sufficient proportions to fund the capital
requirements of the Local Partnerships in question, particularly if the residual
value of a Property is uncertain. If such sources are not available, such Local
Partnership would risk foreclosure on its Property if it was unable to
renegotiate the terms of its first mortgage and any other debt with the lenders
thereof. The risks associated with the need of such Local Partnership to
refinance its underlying first mortgage debt are exacerbated by the probability
that the term of certain favorable assistance programs from which a Local
Partnership may benefit will expire prior to the end of the Compliance Period
with respect to such Local Partnership's Property.
Cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships remain relatively
immaterial. These distributions, as well as the working capital reserves
referred to above, will be used towards the future operating expenses of the
13
Partnership. During the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the amounts
received from operations of the Local Partnerships were approximately $774,000,
$216,000 and $239,000, respectively.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partners amounted to
approximately $8,465,000 and $7,035,000 were accrued and unpaid at March 31,
2003 and 2002. Without the General Partners' continued accrual without payment
of these fees and expense reimbursements, the Partnership will not be in a
position to meet its obligations. The General Partners have allowed for the
accrual without payment of these amounts but are under no obligation to continue
to do so.
For a discussion of contingencies affecting certain Local Partnerships, see
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships below. Since the maximum
loss the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in the respective
Local Partnerships, the resolution of the existing contingencies 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 Compliance 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 diversifications of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy. The Partnership has fully invested the
proceeds of the offering in 62 Local Partnerships, one of which has been sold
and nine of which have their Tax Credits in place. The Tax Credits are attached
to the project for a period of ten years and are transferable with the Property
during the remainder of the Credit Period. If trends in the real estate market
warranted the sale of a Property, the remaining Tax Credits would transfer to
the new owner; thereby adding significant value to the Property on the market
which is not included in the financial statement carrying amount.
Critical Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies
that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements. The summary should be read in conjunction with the more
complete discussion of the Partnership's accounting policies included in Note 2
to the consolidated financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K.
a) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, and any other costs incurred
in acquiring such property and equipment. The cost of property and equipment is
depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated and
straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time
property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated
depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in
earnings. The Partnership complies with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
14
Long-Lived Assets". A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management
estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property
on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. Property investments
themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash
flows) when the Property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost
exceeds estimated fair value.
b) 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.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost, which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring such property and equipment. The cost
of property and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using
accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are
capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
assets and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such
disposition is reflected in earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded
when management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale
of the property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. Property
investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using
discounted cash flows) when the Property is considered to be impaired and the
depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value. During the year ended March 31,
2003, the Partnership has recorded approximately $2,154,000 as a loss on
impairment of assets. Through March 31, 2003, the Partnership has recorded
approximately $22,237,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are
adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Such
assets would be classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated. There are no assets classified as property and equipment-held for
sale as of March 31, 2003.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 ("Fiscal 2002", "Fiscal 2001" and
"Fiscal 2000", respectively).
The majority of the Local Partnerships' income continues to be in the form of
rental income, with the corresponding expenses (excluding loss on impairment of
assets) being divided among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.
The net loss for the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years totaled $17,543,741,
$12,036,873 and $14,047,309, respectively.
2002 vs. 2001
- -------------
Rental income decreased approximately 2% for Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal
2001. Excluding the Sold Asset, rental income increased less than 1%, primarily
due to rental rate increases.
Other income increased approximately $362,000 for Fiscal 2002 as compared to
Fiscal 2001. Excluding Northwood (the "Sold Asset"), other income increased
15
approximately $416,000 primarily due to the receipt of a drugs elimination grant
at one Local Partnership and the write-off of receivables in fiscal year 2001 at
a second Local Partnership.
Total expenses, excluding the Sold Asset, general and administrative and
insurance, remained fairly consistent with an increase of approximately 4% for
fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001.
General and administrative increased approximately $1,097,000 for Fiscal 2002 as
compared to Fiscal 2001. Excluding the Sold Asset, general and administrative
increased approximately $1,285,000 primarily due to supervisory management fees
paid at two Local Partnerships and increases in payroll and payroll related
expenses at several Local Partnerships.
Insurance increased approximately $341,000 for Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal
2001. Excluding the Sold Asset, insurance increased approximately $364,000
primarily due to increased premiums at the Local Partnerships.
A loss on impairment of fixed assets of approximately $2,154,000 was recorded in
Fiscal Year 2002.
2001 vs. 2000
- -------------
Rental income increased approximately 2% for Fiscal 2001 as compared to Fiscal
2000. Excluding the Sold Asset, rental income increased approximately 3%,
primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income decreased approximately $1,003,000 for Fiscal 2001 as compared to
Fiscal 2000, primarily due to a mortgage refinancing in 2000 at one Local
Partnership, a tax refund in 2000 at a second Local Partnership, and the
write-off of old receivables in 2000 at a third Local Partnership.
Total expenses, remained fairly consistent with a decrease of approximately 1%
for Fiscal 2001 as compared to Fiscal 2000. Excluding the Sold Asset, total
expenses increased less than 1%.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
- ---------------------------------------------------
R.P.P. Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership ("River Place")
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
River Place has been unable to generate sufficient cash flow to make the
required principal and interest payments under its loan agreements. River
Place's debt guarantor, General Retirement System of the City of Detroit
("GRS"), entered into an agreement with the Michigan State Housing Authority
(the "Authority") to purchase these loans upon the occurrence of certain events.
GRS has declared River Place in default under its obligation to make the
required payments. During 1996, GRS agreed to waive its right of foreclosure
under the mortgages, unless certain events occur, through February 1, 2006. GRS
has made advances for debt service and has incurred certain fees relating to
these loans totaling $46,343,389, including accrued interest on such advances at
a rate of 15%. Such amount is included in the amount due to debt guarantor on
the balance sheet.
Management anticipates that River Place will be unable to make all of the
required debt service payments during 2003. However, there is no guarantee that
GRS, or any other persons, will continue to make these payments on behalf of
River Place. These items raise substantial doubt about River Place's ability to
continue as a going concern.
The financial statements of River Place have been prepared assuming that River
Place will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The
Partnership's investment in River Place has been written down to zero by prior
16
years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $883,000 at
both March 31, 2003 and 2002. The net loss after minority interest for River
Place amounted to approximately $3,127,000, $3,190,000 and $3,795,000 for the
years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Brandywine Court Associates, L.P. ("Brandywine")
- ------------------------------------------------
The financial statements of Brandywine have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of Brandywine as a going concern. Brandywine has had
recurring net losses and continues to have a substantial working capital
deficit. Furthermore, Brandywine's management continues to anticipate that the
property will need a new roof in the near future, the cost of which is expected
to exceed $100,000. Brandywine's management has determined that the Project is
not eligible for financial relief from the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development, since the Project would require relief of debt in excess
of the parameters allowed. Brandywine's management is seeking a buyer for the
Project. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt as to the
Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The Partnership's
investment in Brandywine has been written down to zero by prior years' losses
and the minority interest balance was approximately $0 at both March 31, 2003
and 2002. The net loss after minority interest for Brandywine amounted to
approximately $665,000 (which includes a $553,000 loss on impairment of fixed
assets), $161,000 and $143,000 for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001, respectively.
Gentle Pines - West Columbia Associates, L.P. ("Gentle Pines")
- --------------------------------------------------------------
The financial statements of Gentle Pines have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of Gentle Pines as a going concern. Gentle Pines has
had recurring net losses and continues to have a substantial working capital
deficit. Gentle Pines' HAP contract expires on November 30, 2003. The South
Carolina State Housing Finance and Development Authority has informed the owner
that it will not renew the HAP contract. In view of these matters, there is
substantial doubt as to Gentle Pines' ability to continue as a going concern.
The Partnership's investment in Gentle Pines has been written down to zero by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at both March 31,
2003 and 2002. The net loss after minority interest for Gentle Pines amounted to
approximately $1,887,000 (which includes a $1,601,000 loss on impairment of
fixed assets), $181,000 and $160,000 for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002
and 2001, respectively.
Jefferson Limited Partnership ("Jefferson")
- -------------------------------------------
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, Jefferson's current liabilities exceeded its
current assets by over $13,000 and $18,000, respectively. Although this
condition could raise substantial doubt about Jefferson's ability to continue as
a going concern, such doubt is alleviated by the fact that $43,322 and $17,763
of current liabilities at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, are to
related parties which do not intend to pursue payment beyond Jefferson's ability
to pay.
Accordingly, management believes that Jefferson has the ability to continue as a
going concern for at least one year from December 31, 2002. The Partnership's
investment in Jefferson was approximately $113,000 and $263,000 at March 31,
2003 and 2002, respectively, and the minority interest balance was $0 at each
date. The net loss after minority interest for Jefferson amounted to
approximately $150,000, $150,000, and $105,000 for the years ended March 31,
2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Manhattan A Associates ("Manhattan A")
- --------------------------------------
The financial statements for Manhattan A have not been audited for the 2001
Fiscal Year. In August 2001 the Local General Partner of Manhattan A was
replaced as the managing agent. The auditors for Manhattan A have been unable to
obtain all the books and records to complete the audit. The Partnership is in
the process of replacing the Local General Partner.
17
Site H Development Co. ("Site H")
- ---------------------------------
The Partnership has not been provided with the Site H audited financial
statements for fiscal year 2002.
Other Subsidiary Partnerships
- -----------------------------
Four of the Subsidiary Partnerships are leasing the land on which the Properties
are located for terms ranging from 28 to 99 years. The leases for these
Properties are noncancelable. At December 31, 2002, those Subsidiary
Partnerships were committed to minimum annual rentals on the leases aggregating
$155,130 for each of the next five years, and $3,478,733 in total thereafter.
Other
- -----
The Partnership's investments in the Local Partnerships are subject to the risks
incident to management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership's
investments also could be adversely affected by poor economic conditions, which
could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and 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 risks stem from governmental
regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to
rent apartments in the complexes, difficulties in obtaining government approval
for rent increases, limitations on the percentage of income which low and
moderate-income tenants may pay as rent, the possibility that Congress may not
appropriate funds to enable HUD to make the rental assistance payments it has
contracted to make, and the possibility that when the rental assistance
contracts expire there may not be market demand for apartments at full market
rents in a Local Partnership's Apartment Complex.
The Local Partnerships are impacted by inflation in several ways. Inflation
allows for increases in rental rates generally to reflect the impact of higher
operating and replacement costs. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships
adversely by increasing operating costs, for example, for such items as fuel,
utilities and labor. However, continued inflation should allow for appreciated
values of the Local Partnerships' Apartment Complexes over a period of time as
rental revenues and replacement costs continue to increase.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
To the Partners of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Tax Credit Plus III
L.P. and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2003,
2002 and 2001 (the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively). 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 of 61 (Fiscal 2002, 2001
and 2000) subsidiary partnerships whose losses aggregated $15,565,338,
$10,083,257 and $12,004,389 of the Partnership's net loss for the 2002, 2001 and
2000 Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose assets constituted 96% of the
Partnership's assets at March 31, 2003 and 2002, presented in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of 60 (Fiscal 2002
and 2001) and 61 (Fiscal 2000) 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 2002 and Fiscal 2001) subsidiary
partnership was unaudited.
We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based upon our audits, and the reports of the other auditors
referred to above, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the
first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries at March 31, 2003 and 2002,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended
March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 12(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of three subsidiary partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of these subsidiary
partnerships were prepared assuming that they will continue as going concerns.
These three subsidiary partnerships' net losses aggregated $5,678,496 (Fiscal
2002), $3,532,309 (Fiscal 2001) and $4,098,811 (Fiscal 2000), and their assets
aggregated $14,043,226 and $17,242,655 at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 12(a).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

To the Partners of
C.V. Bronx Associates, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of C.V. Bronx Associates, L.P.
(a Delaware Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital (deficit), and

an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of
the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of

also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that

going concern. As described in Note B and reported in the accompanying financial
statements, Brandywine Court Associates, L.P. (A Limited Partnership) has had
recurring net losses and has an increasing working capital deficit in recent
years. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Brandywine Court
Associates, L.P. (A Limited Partnership) ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to those matters are described in Note B. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the
Partnership cannot continue in existence.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information is

Independent Auditors' Report
The Partners
Brandywine Court Associates, L.P.
Marlton, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Brandywine Court Associates,
L.P. (A Limited Partnership), HUD Project No. 063-94015, as of December 31, 2001
and 2000, and the related statements of loss, Partners' capital and cash flows
for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Brandywine Court Associates,
L.P. (A Limited Partnership), HUD Project No. 063-94015, as of December 31, 2001
and 2000, and the results of its operations, changes in its Partners' capital,
and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Brandywine Court Associates, L.P. (A Limited Partnership) will continue as a
going concern. As described in Note B and reported in the accompanying financial
statements, Brandywine Court Associates, L.P. (A Limited Partnership) has had
recurring net losses and has an increasing working capital deficit in recent
years. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Brandywine Court
Associates, L.P. (A Limited Partnership) ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to those matters are described in Note B. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the
Partnership cannot continue in existence.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the Consolidated Audit
Guide for Audits of HUD Programs, issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development, we have also issued a report dated January 17, 2002 on our
consideration of Brandywine Court Associates, L.P.'s (A Limited Partnership),
HUD Project No. 063-94015, internal control and reports dated January 17, 2002
on its compliance with specific requirements applicable to major HUD program,
specific requirements applicable to nonmajor HUD program transactions and
specific requirements applicable to fair housing and non-discrimination. These
reports are an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in
considering the results of our audit.

31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital
and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted the audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States, and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Farmers Home Administration Audit Program. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that the
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Forrest Ridge Apartments, Ltd.,
RHS Project No.: 03-062-630899211 as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information on pages 10
through 13 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental information
presented in the Multiple Family Housing Borrower Balance Sheet (Form FmHA
1930-8) Parts I and II for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, is
presented for purposes of complying with the requirements of the Rural Housing
Services and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the audit procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report

LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
NOTE 1 - General
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on November 17, 1988. The Partnership had no
operations until commencement of the public offering on May 2, 1989. The general
partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties III L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), and Liberty GP III Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Liberty General Partner"). The general partner of the
Related General Partner is Related Credit Properties III Inc., a Delaware
corporation.
The Partnership's business is to invest in other limited partnerships ("Local
Partnerships" or "Subsidiaries" or "Subsidiary Partnerships") owning leveraged
apartment complexes ("Apartment Complexes") that are eligible for the low-income
housing tax credit ("Housing Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
and to a lesser extent in Local Partnerships owning properties ("Rehabilitation
Projects"' and together with the apartment complexes, the "Properties") that are
eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic Rehabilitation
Tax Credit"; and together with the Housing Tax Credit, the "Tax Credits").
As of March 31, 2003 the Partnership has interests in 61 Local Partnerships.
During the year ended March 31, 2002, the Partnership's limited partnership
interest in one Local Partnership was sold.
The Partnership is authorized to issue a total of 150,000 Beneficial Assignment
Certificates ("BACs"), which have been registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for sale to the public. Each BAC represents all of the
economic and virtually all of the ownership rights attributable to one-fifth of
a limited partnership interest. As of March 31, 2003, 139,101.5 have been
issued, and no further issuance of BACs is anticipated. The offering was
completed on March 30, 1990.
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 61,62 and 62 Subsidiary Partnerships in which the Partnership is the
principal limited partner for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001,
respectively. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or an affiliate of the
General Partners (which has a contractual obligation to act on behalf of the
Partnership) to remove the general partner of the Subsidiary Partnerships and to
approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has a
controlling financial interest in the Subsidiary Partnerships.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's fiscal year ends on March
31. All Subsidiaries have fiscal years ending December 31. Accounts of the
Subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1
through March 31. The Partnership's fiscal year ends March 31 in order to allow
adequate time for the Subsidiaries financial statements to be prepared and
consolidated. The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the
156
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles "GAAP").
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.
Losses attributable to minority interest which exceed the minority interest's
investment in a Subsidiary have been charged to the Partnership. Such losses
aggregated approximately $298,000, $239,000 and $244,000 for the years ended
March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively (the 2002, 2001 and 2000 fiscal
years, respectively). The Partnership's investment in each Subsidiary is equal
to the respective Subsidiary partners' equity less minority interest capital, if
any. In consolidation, all Subsidiary Partnerships' losses are included in the
Partnership's capital account except for losses allocated to minority interest
capital.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and investments in
short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three
months or less. Cash held in escrow has various use restrictions and is not
considered a cash equivalent.
c) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost, which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring such property and equipment. The cost
of property and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using
accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are
capitalized. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
assets and accumulated depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such
disposition is reflected in earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded
when management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale
of the property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. Property
investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using
discounted cash flows) when the Property is considered to be impaired and the
depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value. During the year ended March 31,
2003, the Partnership has recorded approximately $2,154,000 as a loss on
impairment of assets. Through March 31, 2003, the Partnership has recorded
approximately $22,237,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are
adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Such
assets would be classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated. There are no assets classified as property and equipment-held for
sale as of March 31, 2003.
d) Income Taxes
The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any federal income
taxes. Net income or loss generated by the Partnership is passed through to the
partners and is required to be reported by them. The Partnership may be subject
..
157
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax
purposes, the Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31 (see Note 9)
e) Offering Costs
Costs incurred to sell BACs, including brokerage and the nonaccountable expense
allowance, are considered selling and offering expenses. These costs are charged
directly to limited partners' capital. (See Note 8).
f) Loss Contingencies
The Partnership records loss contingencies as a charge to income when
information becomes available which indicates that it is probable that an asset
has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the
financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.
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
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Mortgage Notes Payable
- ----------------------
The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated, where practicable, based
on the borrowing rate currently available for similar loans.
The estimated fair values of the Partnership's mortgage note payable are as
follows:
March 31, 2003 March 31, 2002

Not practicable $ 61,971,570 (*) $ 47,339,838 (*)
(*) Management believes it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the
mortgage notes payable because mortgage programs with similar characteristics
are not currently available to the Local Partnerships.

to Local General Partners and affiliates, because market information on such
unique loans are not currently available to the Local Partnership.
The carrying amount of other financial instruments that require such disclosure
approximates fair value.

Partnerships have incurred developers' fees of $25,440,729 as of both March 31,
2003 and 2002 to the Local General Partner and affiliates. Such fees have been
included in the cost of property and equipment.
During the 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years, there was a decrease in accumulated
depreciation in the amount of $3,418,286 and $2,107,234, respectively, due to
write-offs on dispositions.

Chestnut's Mortgage Agreement contains various covenants pertaining to payment
of monthly loan installments and maintenance of reserve funds. At December 31,
2002 and 2001, Chestnut was in violation of such covenants. As of January 29,
2003, PHFA has not waived the reserve funds Requirements, and accordingly,
Chestnut is currently in default. Under the terms of the Mortgage Agreement, if
any event of default, as defined occurs, and is continuing, other rights may be
enforced on behalf of the lenders, inclusive of possession of the Property.
NOTE 8 - Related Party Transactions
As of March 31, 2003, Liberty Associates IV L.P. ("Liberty Associates"), an
affiliate of the General Partners, has a 1% and .998% (see Note 12a with respect
to River Place) interest as a special limited partner in 60 and 1 of the Local
Partnerships, respectively.
The General Partners and their affiliates and the Local General Partners and
their affiliates perform services for the Partnership and the Local
Partnerships, respectively. The costs incurred for the years ended March 31,
2003, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:
A) Guarantees
In November 2002, FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others" ("FASB Interpretation No. 45"), was issued. The
accounting recognition provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45 are effective
January 1, 2003 on a prospective basis. They require that a guarantor recognize,
at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the
obligation undertaken in issuing or modifying any guarantee after December 31,
2002. Under prior accounting principles, a guarantee would not have been
recognized as a liability until a loss was probable and reasonably estimated. At
March 31, 2003, the Partnership has not issued or modified any existing
guarantees and has not determined the impact, if any, that adoption of the
accounting recognition provision of FASB Interpretation No. 45 would have on the
Partnership's future financial position or results of operations.
The Partnership negotiated Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements with all Local
Partnerships in which the General Partners of the Local Partnerships agreed to
fund operating deficits for a specified period of time. The terms of the
Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements vary for each Local Partnership, with the
maximum dollar amounts to be funded for a specified period of time, generally
three years, commencing at stabilization. The gross amount of the operating
deficit guarantees aggregate approximately $18,700,000 of which approximately
$17,600,000 had expired as of March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2003 and 2002, the
net amounts funded by the Local General Partners to meet such obligations were
approximately $1,971,000 and $2,400,000, respectively. Amounts funded under such
agreements are treated as noninterest bearing loans, which will be repaid only
out of 50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing
proceeds.
The Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreements were negotiated to protect the
Partnership's interest in the Local Partnerships and to provide incentive to the
Local General Partners to generate positive cash flow.

========== ========== ==========
(i) The General Partners are entitled to receive a partnership management fee
after payment of all Partnership expenses, which, together with the local annual
administrative fees, will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of invested
assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), for administering the affairs
of the Partnership. The partnership management fee, subject to the foregoing
limitation, will be determined by the General Partners in their sole discretion
based upon their review of the Partnership's investments. Unpaid partnership
management fees for any year will be accrued without interest and will be
payable only to the extent of available funds after the Partnership has made the
distributions to the BACs holders of sale or refinancing proceeds equal to their
original capital contributions plus a 10% priority return thereon (to the extent
not theretofore paid out of cash flow). Partnership management fees owed to the
General Partners amounting to approximately $8,465,000 and $7,035,000 were
accrued and unpaid at March 31, 2003 and 2002. Without the General Partners'
continued accrual without payment of these fees and expense reimbursements, the
Partnership will not be in a position to meet its obligations. The General
Partners have allowed for the accrual without payment of these amounts but are
under no obligation to continue to do so.
(ii) The Partnership reimburses the General Partners and their affiliates for
actual Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partners and their
affiliates on the Partnership's behalf. The amount of reimbursement from the
Partnership is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Another
affiliate of the General Partners performs asset monitoring for the Partnership.
These services include site visits and evaluations of the Subsidiary
Partnerships' performance.
(iii) The Subsidiary Partnerships incurred property management fees amounting to
$2,362,241, $2,384,810 and $2,365,130 for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002
and 2001, respectively, of which $1,781,921, $1,897,013 and $1,901,840,
respectively, was incurred to affiliates of the Local General Partners.
(iv) Liberty Associates, a special limited partner of the Subsidiary
Partnerships, is entitled to receive a local administrative fee of up to $2,500
per year from each Subsidiary Partnership.

On October 4, 2001, the Partnership's limited partnership interest in Northwood
Associates Limited Partnership ("Northwood") was sold to an unaffiliated third
party purchaser for $180,000 and the assumption of the mortgage note, resulting
in a loss in the amount of approximately $84,000.
NOTE 11 - Forgiveness of Debt
On March 29, 2001, Lancashire Towers Associates Limited Partnership
("Lancashire") executed a note purchase agreement with the note holder whereby
all liabilities and obligations of Lancashire to such note holder were settled.
The loan was paid off from the amount of allowable surplus cash distributable to
the partners in 2001 and, therefore, no permission from HUD was necessary to
consummate this transaction. The resultant forgiveness of debt of $2,156,560 has
been recorded as an extraordinary item in the financial statements during the
year ended March 31, 2002.
NOTE 12 - Commitments and Contingencies
a) Subsidiary Partnerships - Going Concerns
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
- ---------------------------------------------------
R.P.P. Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership ("River Place")
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
River Place has been unable to generate sufficient cash flow to make the
required principal and interest payments under its loan agreements. River
Place's debt guarantor, General Retirement System of the City of Detroit
("GRS"), entered into an agreement with the Michigan State Housing Authority
(the "Authority") to purchase these loans upon the occurrence of certain events.
GRS has declared River Place in default under its obligation to make the
required payments. During 1996, GRS agreed to waive its right of foreclosure
under the mortgages, unless certain events occur, through February 1, 2006. GRS
has made advances for debt service and has incurred certain fees relating to
these loans totaling $46,343,389, including accrued interest on such advances at
a rate of 15%. Such amount is included in the amount due to debt guarantor on
the balance sheet.
Management anticipates that River Place will be unable to make all of the
required debt service payments during 2003. However, there is no guarantee that
GRS, or any other persons, will continue to make these payments on behalf of
River Place. These items raise substantial doubt about River Place's ability to
continue as a going concern.
The financial statements of River Place have been prepared assuming that River
Place will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The
Partnership's investment in River Place has been written down to zero by prior
years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $883,000 at
both March 31, 2003 and 2002. The net loss after minority interest for River
Place amounted to approximately $3,127,000, $3,190,000 and $3,795,000 for the
years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Brandywine Court Associates, L.P. ("Brandywine")
- ------------------------------------------------
The financial statements of Brandywine have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of Brandywine as a going concern. Brandywine has had
167
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS III L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
recurring net losses and continues to have a substantial working capital
deficit. Furthermore, Brandywine's management continues to anticipate that the
property will need a new roof in the near future, the cost of which is expected
to exceed $100,000. Brandywine's management has determined that the Project is
not eligible for financial relief from the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development, since the Project would require relief of debt in excess
of the parameters allowed. Brandywine's management is seeking a buyer for the
Project. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt as to the
Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The Partnership's
investment in Brandywine has been written down to zero by prior years' losses
and the minority interest balance was approximately $0 at both March 31, 2003
and 2002. The net loss after minority interest for Brandywine amounted to
approximately $665,000 (which includes a $553,000 loss on impairment of fixed
assets), $161,000 and $143,000 for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001, respectively.
Gentle Pines - West Columbia Associates, L.P. ("Gentle Pines")
- --------------------------------------------------------------
The financial statements of Gentle Pines have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of Gentle Pines as a going concern. Gentle Pines has
had recurring net losses and continues to have a substantial working capital
deficit. Gentle Pines' HAP contract expires on November 30, 2003. The South
Carolina State Housing Finance and Development Authority has informed the owner
that it will not renew the HAP contract. In view of these matters, there is
substantial doubt as to Gentle Pines' ability to continue as a going concern.
The Partnership's investment in Gentle Pines has been written down to zero by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was $0 at both March 31,
2003 and 2002. The net loss after minority interest for Gentle Pines amounted to
approximately $1,887,000 (which includes a $1,601,000 loss on impairment of
fixed assets), $181,000 and $160,000 for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002
and 2001, respectively.
b) Subsidiary Partnership - Other
Jefferson Limited Partnership ("Jefferson")
- -------------------------------------------
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, Jefferson's current liabilities exceeded its
current assets by over $13,000 and $18,000, respectively. Although this
condition could raise substantial doubt about Jefferson's ability to continue as
a going concern, such doubt is alleviated by the fact that $43,322 and $17,763
of current liabilities at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, are to
related parties which do not intend to pursue payment beyond Jefferson's ability
to pay. Accordingly, management believes that Jefferson has the ability to
continue as a going concern for at least one year from December 31, 2002. The
Partnership's investment in Jefferson was approximately $113,000 and $263,000 at
March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and the minority interest balance was $0
at each date. The net loss after minority interest for Jefferson amounted to
approximately $150,000, $150,000, and $105,000 for the years ended March 31,
2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Manhattan A Associates ("Manhattan A")
- --------------------------------------
The financial statements for Manhattan A have not been audited for the 2001
Fiscal Year. In August 2001 the Local General Partner of Manhattan A was
replaced as the managing agent. The auditors for Manhattan A were unable to
obtain all the books and records to complete the audit. The Partnership is in
the process of replacing the Local General Partner.

Leases
- ------
Four of the Subsidiary Partnerships are leasing the land on which the Properties
are located, for terms ranging from 28 to 99 years. The leases on these
Properties are noncancelable. At December 31, 2002 those Subsidiary Partnerships
were committed to minimum future annual rentals on the leases aggregating
$155,130 for each of the next five years, and $3,478,733 total thereafter.
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, 2003, uninsured cash and
cash equivalents approximated $2,858,000.
d) Other
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can
also be affected by poor economic conditions generally. However, no more than
20% of the Properties are located in any single state. There are also
substantial risks associated with owning Properties receiving government
assistance, such as the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to
enable HUD to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash
distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the
owner's equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially
liquidate its investments in Subsidiary Partnerships during the period that the
subsidy agreements are in existence without HUD's approval. Furthermore, there
may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental
assistance contracts expire.
In order for certain Subsidiaries to qualify for the Section 421A Program and
the Inclusionary Zoning Program, they are subject to certain requirements by
local authorities as to the level of rent that may be charged to tenants, the
tenants' incomes, the obligation to operate the Property in accordance with rent
stabilization guidelines, and restrictions on the rate at which housing units
may be released from such guidelines.
Also, certain Subsidiary Partnerships obtain grants from local authorities to
fund construction costs of the Properties and in order to qualify must maintain
the low-income nature of the Property, among other provisions.
e) Tax Credits
A portion of Housing Tax Credits are subject to recapture in future years if (1)
the Local Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements, (2) there is a
decrease in the qualified basis of the Property, or (3) there is a reduction in
the taxpayer's interest in the Property 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.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited
Partnership) included in the Form 10-K as presented in our opinion dated May 30,
2003 on page 20, and based on the reports of other auditors, we have also
audited supporting Schedule I for the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years and
Schedule III at March 31, 2003. In our opinion, and based on the reports of the
other auditors, these consolidated schedules present fairly, when read in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements, the financial
data required to be set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 12(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of three subsidiary partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties. The financial statements of these subsidiary
partnerships were prepared assuming that they will continue as going concerns.
These three subsidiary partnerships' net losses aggregated $5,678,496 (Fiscal
2002), $3,532,309 (Fiscal 2001) and $4,098,811 (Fiscal 2000), and their assets
aggregated $14,043,226 and $17,242,655 at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 12(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 III
L.P., the entire purchase price paid by Liberty Tax Credit Plus III L.P. 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.
