PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
- -------
Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which
was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 28, 1989. The
General Partners of the Partnership are Related Freedom Associates L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General Partner"), and Freedom GP
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Freedom General Partner" and together with
the Related General Partner, the "General Partners"). The general partner of the
Related General Partner is Related Freedom Associates Inc., a Delaware
corporation. The General Partners are both affiliates of Related Capital
Company. On November 25, 1997, an affiliate of the Related General Partner
purchased 100% of the stock of the Freedom General Partner.
On February 9, 1990, 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"), pursuant to a prospectus dated February 9, 1990, as
supplemented by supplements thereto dated December 7, 1990, May 10, 1991, July
10, 1991 and July 23, 1991 (as so supplemented, the "Prospectus").
The Partnership received $72,896,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering from
4,780 investors, and the Offering was terminated on August 8, 1991. (See Item 8,
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
Investment Objectives
- ---------------------
The Partnership was formed to invest as a limited partner in other limited
partnerships ("Local Partnerships"), each of which owns one or more leveraged
low-income multi-family residential complexes ("Apartment Complexes" or
"Properties") 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 may also
be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic Tax Credit";
together with Housing Tax Credits, the "Tax Credits"). The Partnership's
investment in each Local Partnership represents 98% to 99% of the partnership
interests in the Local Partnership. As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership had
acquired interests in forty-two Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 2003,
approximately $58,000,000 of net proceeds had been invested in such Local
Partnerships, representing all of the Partnership's net proceeds available for
investment. Subsequent to March 31, 2003 and as of the date of this filing,
there have been no additional investments, nor are any other investments
expected. See Item 2, "Properties," below.
The investment objectives of the Partnership are described below.
1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to Housing Tax Credits over the Credit Period
(as defined below) with respect to each Apartment Complex.
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. 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.
3
One of the Partnership's objectives is to entitle qualified BACs holders to
Housing Tax Credits over the period of the Partnership's entitlement to claim
Tax Credits (for each Property, generally ten years from the date of investment
or, if later, the date the Property is leased to qualified tenants; referred to
herein as the "Credit Period"). Each of the Local Partnerships in which the
Partnership has an interest has been allocated by the relevant state credit
agency the authority to recognize Housing 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 Housing Tax Credits at
all times during such 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 its Property fails to remain in compliance with the Housing
Tax Credit requirements. None of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership
has acquired an interest has suffered an event of recapture.
Housing Tax Credits with respect to a given Apartment Complex are available for
a ten-year period that commences when the property is leased to qualified
tenants. However, the annual Housing Tax Credits available in the year in which
the Apartment Complex is leased to qualified tenants must be prorated based upon
the months remaining in the year. The amount of the annual Housing Tax Credits
not available in the first year will be available in the eleventh year. Internal
Revenue Code Section 42 regulates the use of the Apartment Complexes as to
occupancy, eligibility, and unit gross rent, among other requirements. Each
Apartment Complex must meet the provisions of these regulations during each of
fifteen consecutive years in order to remain qualified to receive the credits.
Certain Apartment Complexes have extended compliance periods of up to fifty
years.
The Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating Housing
Tax Credits. However, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will
continue to achieve any or all of its investment objectives.
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, 2003, 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.
Segments
- --------
The Partnership operates in one segment, which is the investment in multi-family
residential property.
Competition
- -----------
The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all of the
properties acquired 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 compete with the Partnership.
4
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 and Certificate of Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership holds a 99%, 98.99% and 98% limited partnership interest in
nine, ten and twenty-three Local Partnerships, respectively. 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 15 (a) 2; Schedule
III.

None of the Local Partnership's assets or revenue balances are greater than 10%
of the total assets or revenue balances.
All leases are generally for periods not greater than one to two years and no
tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
7
Commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies) comprise
less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Local Partnerships. Rents for the
residential units are determined annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development ("HUD") and reflect increases, if any, in consumer price
indices in various geographic areas.
Management of the General Partners periodically reviews the physical state of
the properties and suggests to the respective Local General Partners budget
improvements which are generally funded from cash flow from operations or
release of replacement reserve escrows.
Management of the General Partners periodically 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.
The General Partners generally required that the general partners of the Local
Partnerships ("Local General Partners") undertake an obligation to fund
operating deficits of the Local Partnership (up to a stated maximum amount)
during a limited period of time (typically three to five years) following the
achievement of break-even operations ("Operating Deficit Guarantees"). Under the
terms of the Operating Deficit Guarantees, amounts funded are treated as
operating loans which do not bear interest and which will be repaid only out of
50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds.
As of March 31, 2003, all Operating Deficit Guarantees have expired and $314,838
of operating loans are outstanding.
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.
As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership had issued and has outstanding 72,896
Limited Partnership Interests, each representing a $1,000 capital contribution
to the Partnership, or an aggregate capital contribution of $72,896,000. All of
the issued and outstanding Limited Partnership Interests have been issued to
Freedom Assignor Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued
72,896 BACs to the purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of
$72,896,000. 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 the payment of transfer costs not
to exceed $100), but Limited Partnership Interests so acquired are not
thereafter convertible into BACs. As of May 6, 2003, the Partnership has 4,124
registered holders of an aggregate of 72,896 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
8
contained provisions which have an adverse impact on investors in "publicly
traded partnerships." Accordingly, the General Partners have imposed
restrictions limiting the transferability of the BACs and the Limited
Partnership Interests in secondary market transactions. These restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing that would 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.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the two General Partners.
There are no material restrictions in the Partnership Agreement on the ability
of the Partnership to make distributions. The Partnership has made no
distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31, 2003. The Partnership does not
anticipate providing cash distributions to its BACs holders other than from net
refinancing or sales proceeds.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Cash Distributions
- ------------------
The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31,
2003.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ------------------------------
General
- -------
During the year ended March 31, 2003, the primary sources of liquidity included
working capital, interest earned on working capital, and distributions received
from the Local Partnerships. None of these sources generated substantial amounts
of funds.
Working capital of approximately $45,000, exclusive of Local Partnerships'
working capital, remains as of March 31, 2003. It is used to pay operating
expenses of the Partnership, including Partnership management fees payable to
the General Partners and advances to Local Partnerships if warranted.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents of the
Partnership and its forty-two Local Partnerships increased approximately
$413,000 due to cash provided by operating activities ($1,489,000), an increase
in capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest
($101,000) and a net increase in due to local general partners and affiliates
relating to investing and financing activities ($293,000) which exceeded capital
improvements ($751,000), increase in marketable securities ($1,000), increase in
deferred costs ($21,000) and net repayments of mortgage loans ($696,000).
Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash provided by
operating activities is depreciation and amortization ($4,915,000).
During the years ended March 31, 2003 ("Fiscal Year 2003"), March 31, 2002
("Fiscal Year 2002"), and March 31, 2001 ("Fiscal Year 2001") the amounts
received from the Local Partnerships were $54,649, $3,637 and $26,796,
respectively. Cash distributions from Local Partnerships are not expected to
reach a level sufficient to permit cash distributions to BACs holders. These
distributions, as well as the working capital reserves referred to in the
paragraph above, will be used to meet the operating expenses of the Partnership.
Partnership management fees owed to General Partners amounting to approximately
$5,532,000 and $4,856,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Without the General Partners continued accrual without payment,
the Partnership will not be in a position to meet its obligations. The General
Partners have continued allowing the accrual without payment of these amounts,
but are under no obligation to continue to do so. The Partnership is dependent
upon the support of the General Partner and certain of its affiliates in order
to meet its obligations at the Partnership level. The General Partner and these
affiliates have agreed to continue such support for the foreseeable future.
Effective January 1, 1999 the State of California requires owners of a property
benefiting from FHA insured mortgages under Section 236 or 221(a)(3) to provide
a nine month notice of contract termination or prepayment of the FHA insured
loan. In addition, with respect to the Partnership's California investments, the
owner must offer the properties for sale to those entities who agree to maintain
the property as affordable housing.
On October 20, 1999 President Clinton signed the Fiscal Year 2000 VA, the HUD
Independent Agencies Appropriations Act (the "Appropriations Act"). The
Appropriations Act contains revisions to the HUD Mark-to-Market Program and
other HUD programs concerning the preservation of the HUD housing stock. On
December 29, 1999 HUD issued Notice H99-36 addressing "Project Based Section 8
Contracts Expiring in Fiscal Year 2000," reflecting the changes in the
Appropriations Act and superceding earlier HUD Notices 98-34, 99-08, 99-15,
99-21 and 99-32. Notice 99-36 clarifies many of the earlier uncertainties with
respect to the earlier HUD Section 8 Mark-to-Market Programs and continued the
10
Mark-to-Market Program which allows owners with Section 8 contracts to increase
the rents to market levels where contract rents are currently below market. As
of March 31, 2003, none of the Local Partnerships have opted to enter the
Mark-to-Market Program and therefore this has no impact on the Partnership.
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 not be affected. However, the
geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy.
The Partnership has fully invested the proceeds of its offering in 42 Local
Partnerships, all of which have their Housing Tax Credits in place. The Housing
Tax Credits are attached to the property 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
Housing Tax Credits would transfer to the new owner, thereby adding significant
value to the property on the market.
New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").
FIN 46 is applicable immediately for variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created before January 31,
2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are applicable no later than July 1, 2003. The
Partnership has not identified any variable interest entities that were created
after January 31, 2003 and is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions
of FIN 46 on its consolidated financial statements.
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 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.
During the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership did not record a
loss on impairment of assets. During the year ended March 31, 2001, the
Partnership recorded $2,065,000 of losses on impairment of assets.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.
The Partnership's primary source of income continues to be rental income with
the corresponding expenses being divided among operations, depreciation, and
mortgage interest.
11
Rental income is recognized as rent becomes due. Rental payments received in
advance are deferred until earned. The Partnership received rental subsidies
which amounted to approximately $3,178,000, $2,953,000 and $2,904,000 for the
years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The related rental
subsidy programs have expiration dates that either expire subsequent to the year
2003 or terminate upon total disbursement of the assistance obligation.
2003 vs. 2002
- -------------
Rental income increased approximately 4% for the year ended March 31, 2003 as
compared to 2002, primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income decreased approximately $225,000 for the year ended March 31, 2003
as compared to 2002, primarily due to lower interest rates on cash and cash
equivalent balances at the Local Partnership level.
Total expenses, excluding operating and other, remained fairly consistent with
an increase of less than 1% for the year ended March 31, 2003, as compared to
2002.
Operating and other increased approximately $302,000 for the year ended March
31, 2003 as compared to 2002, primarily due to an increase in insurance premiums
at the Local Partnerships.
2002 vs. 2001
- -------------
Rental income increased approximately 3% for the year ended March 31, 2002 as
compared to 2001 primarily due to rental rate increases.
No major expense categories, other than the loss on impairment of assets,
changed more than 6% for the year ended March 31, 2002 as compared to 2001.
Critical Accounting Estimates
- -----------------------------
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following accounting estimate is
considered critical by the Partnership.
The Partnership is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived
assets, which is primarily property and equipment. If impairment indicators are
present, the Partnership must measure the fair value of the assets to determine
if adjustments are to be recorded.
Other
- -----
The Partnership continues to meet its primary objective of generating Housing
Tax Credits. Housing Tax Credits are generated by a Property over a ten-year
period commencing as each Property is leased to qualified tenants. During the
years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Housing Tax Credits received by
the Partnership totaled $1,710,233, $6,782,384 and $11,106,285, respectively.
Based on the fact that all the Local Partnerships' tax credits will be expiring
in the year 2003, the Partnership expects the Tax Credits to be received in
fiscal year 2004 to be approximately $40,000.
The Partnership's investments as limited partners in the Local Partnerships are
subject to the risks incident to the management and ownership of improved real
12
estate. The Partnership's investments also could be adversely affected by poor
economic conditions generally, 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 are also substantial risks associated with the operation of Apartment
Complexes receiving government assistance. These include governmental
regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to
rent apartments in the complexes; difficulties in obtaining government approval
for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of income which low and
moderate income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility that Congress may not
appropriate funds to enable HUD to make the rental assistance payments it has
contracted to make; and 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
generally allows for increases in rental rates to reflect the impact of higher
operating and replacement costs. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships
adversely by increasing operating costs as a result of higher costs of such
items as fuel, utilities and labor. However, continued inflation may result in
appreciated values of the Local Partnerships' Apartment Complexes over a period
of time as rental revenues and replacement costs continue to increase.
The Partnership does not anticipate that it will be in a position to make cash
distributions at any time prior to the disposition of the Properties. If
distributions of operating cash flow are made, it is expected that they will be
limited. As of March 31, 2003, no such distributions have been made.
Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Partnership is not exposed to market risk since its mortgage indebtedness
bears fixed rates of interest.

TO THE PARTNERS OF
FREEDOM TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
FREEDOM TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of March 31, 2003 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' capital
(deficit) and cash flows for the year 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 audit. We did not
audit the financial statements of forty subsidiary partnerships, whose losses
aggregated $3,382,460 for the year ended March 31, 2003 and whose assets
constituted 91% of consolidated assets at March 31, 2003. Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these subsidiary
partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. 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
audit and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other
auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FREEDOM TAX CREDIT
PLUS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of March 31, 2003 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2003 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We conducted the audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted

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 Elmwood Associates, L.P., RHS
Project No.: 28-055-640804193 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 12 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
dated February 22, 2002 on our consideration of Elmwood Associates, L.P.'s
internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws and regulations.

FREEDOM TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
NOTE 1 - General
Freedom Tax Credit Plus L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on August 28, 1989 and commenced its public
offering on February 9, 1990 (the "Offering"). The general partners of the
Partnership are Related Freedom Associates L.P. (the "Related General Partner"),
a Delaware limited partnership, and its affiliate, Freedom GP Inc. (the "Freedom
General Partner"), a Delaware corporation, together (the "General Partners").
The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2030, unless terminated sooner
under the provision's of the partnership agreement.
The Partnership's business is to invest in other partnerships ("Local
Partnerships," "subsidiaries" or "subsidiary partnerships") owning leveraged
apartment complexes that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit
("Housing Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986. During Fiscal
Years 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership generated $1,710,233, $6,782,384 and
$11,106,285, respectively, in Housing Tax Credits.
The Partnership was authorized to issue a total of 200,000 Beneficial Assignment
Certificates ("BACs"), which had been registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for sale to the public. As of August 8, 1991 (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 $72,896,000 of gross
proceeds of the Offering from 4,780 investors.
The terms of the Limited 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 Accounting and Presentation
The Partnership's fiscal year ends on March 31. All subsidiaries have calendar
year ends. 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 accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and 42 subsidiary partnerships, in which the Partnership is a limited partner,
with an ownership interest ranging from approximately 98% to 99%. All
intercompany accounts and transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have
been eliminated in consolidation. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or
an affiliate of the General Partners, which affiliate 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.
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest arises from cash contributions and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.
112
FREEDOM TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
(continued)
The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective
subsidiary's partners' equity less minority interest capital, if any.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments in short-term
money market accounts (which were purchased with original maturities of three
months or less).
d) Investment in Marketable Securities
At March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership has classified its marketable
securities as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gain
(loss) reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until
realized. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below
cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the
establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
e) Cash Held in Escrow
Cash held in escrow includes cash held in escrow, replacement reserves and
tenant security deposits.
f) Property and Equipment
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"("SFAS 144"), which supersedes SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of". SFAS 144 applies to all long-lived assets. It is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001,
and was adopted by the Partnership, as required, on April 1, 2002. During the
years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership did not record a loss on
impairment of assets. During the year ended March 31, 2001, the Partnership
recorded $2,065,000 of losses on impairment of assets.
Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which
range from 20 to 40 years for properties. Property is depreciated using an
accelerated or straight-line method. Equipment lives range from 5 to 7 years and
are depreciated on a straight-line basis.
g) Rental income
Rental income is recognized as rent becomes due. Rental payments received in
advance are deferred until earned. The Partnership received rental subsidies
which amounted to approximately $3,178,000, $2,953,000 and $2,904,000 for the
years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The related rental
subsidy programs have expiration dates that terminate upon total disbursement of
the assistance obligation.
h) 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
113
FREEDOM TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
(continued)
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 8).
i) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions relating to reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
j) Net Loss Per BAC
Net loss per BAC is computed based on the net loss for the period attributed to
BAC Holders, divided by the number of BACs outstanding for the period.
k) Reclassification
Certain items in the 2002 and 2001 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 2003 presentation.
l) New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").
FIN 46 is applicable immediately for variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created before January 31,
2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are applicable no later than July 1, 2003. The
Partnership has not identified any variable interest entities that were created
after January 31, 2003 and is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions
of FIN 46 on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Cash Held in Escrow, Accounts Payable and Other
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liabilities, Due to Local General Partners and Affiliates, and Due to General
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partners and Affiliates
- -----------------------
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, cash held in escrow, accounts
payable and other liabilities approximates fair value. The fair values of Due to
Local General Partners and Affiliates and Due to General Partners and Affiliates
are not readily determinable because no market exists for these instruments.

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 notes payable are as
follows:
March 31, 2003 March 31, 2002
----------------------- ----------------------
Carrying Carrying
Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value
--------- ---------- -------- ----------
Mortgage Notes Payable for
which it is:
Practicable to estimate fair value $40,794,694 $41,312,953 $42,466,269 $43,494,924
Not Practicable (a) $26,572,125 $25,596,958
(a) The mortgage notes payable are insured by HUD primarily in accordance with
Section 236 of the National Housing Act. New loans are no longer being insured
in accordance with Section 236 and presently existing loans are subject to
restrictions regarding prepayment. Management believes the estimation of fair
value to be impracticable.
NOTE 4 - Property and Equipment
The components of property and equipment are as follows:

Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 amounted
to $4,749,489, $4,834,147 and, $4,939,405, respectively.
The Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of its properties to
its estimate of the sum of undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of
remaining Tax Credits, to determine if the carrying value of the property is
impaired. If the property is considered impaired based on this analysis, an
impairment loss is recorded in order to write down the property to its fair
value. In December 2000, management of Oxford Trace ("Oxford") completed a
recoverability review of the carrying value of the property based on an estimate
of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual
disposition. As of December 31, 2000, management concluded that the sum of the
undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by the apartment
project was less than the carrying value and, as a result, the Partnership
recorded a loss on impairment of $290,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001,
which reduced the carrying value to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair
value was determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis and an estimate of
the fair value of the remaining Tax Credits.

In 2000, management of Hunters Chase Apartments ("Hunters Chase") completed a
recoverability review of the carrying value of the property based on an estimate
of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual
disposition. As of December 31, 2000, management concluded that the sum of the
undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by the property was
less than the carrying value and, as a result, the Partnership recorded a loss
on impairment of $1,775,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001, which reduced the
carrying value to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was
determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis and an estimate of the fair
value of the remaining Tax Credits.

(a) The General Partners are entitled to receive a partnership management fee,
after payment of all Partnership expenses, which together with the annual local
administrative fees will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of Invested
Assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), for administering the affairs
of the Partnership. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the partnership
management fee will be determined by the General Partners in their sole
discretion based upon their review of the Partnership's investments. Unpaid
partnership management fees for any year will be accrued without interest and
will be payable from working capital reserves or to the extent of available
funds after the Partnership has made distributions to the Limited Partners and
BACs holders of sale or refinancing proceeds equal to their original capital
contributions plus a 10% priority return thereon (to the extent not theretofore
paid out of Cash Flow). Partnership management fees owed to General Partners
amounting to approximately $5,532,000 and $4,856,000 were accrued and unpaid as
of March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Without the General Partners continued
accrual without payment, the Partnership will not be in a position to meet its
obligations. The General Partners have continued allowing the accrual without

payment of these amounts, but are under no obligation to continue to do so. The
Partnership is dependent upon the support of the General Partner and certain of
its affiliates in order to meet its obligations at the Partnership level. The
General Partner and these affiliates have agreed to continue such support for
the foreseeable future.
(b) The Partnership reimburses the General Partners and their affiliates for
actual Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partners and their
affiliates on the Partnership's behalf. The amount of reimbursement from the
Partnership is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Another
affiliate of the General Partners performs asset monitoring for the Partnership.
These services include site visits and evaluations of the subsidiary
partnerships' performance.
(c) Property management fees incurred by subsidiary partnerships amounted to
$1,071,815, $1,051,546 and $1,007,007 for the 2003, 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years,

NOTE 9 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Partnership is subject to risks incident to potential losses arising from
the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can also
119

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
(continued)
be affected by poor economic conditions generally, however no more than 24% 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 owners' 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
contract expires.
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 not be affected. However, the
geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy.

============ ============ ============ =========== =========== ===========
At the time the local partnerships were acquired by Freedom Tax Credit Plus
L.P., the entire purchase price paid by Freedom Tax Credit Plus 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.
