PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
- -------
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which
was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 26, 1987. The general
partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Related General Partner") and Liberty Associates III
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Liberty Associates", and together with
the Related General Partner, the "General Partners"). The Related General
Partner is also the special limited partner of the Partnership. The general
partner of the Related General Partner is Credit Properties GP LLC ("Credit
Properties"), a Delaware corporation. The general partner of Liberty Associates
is the Related General Partner. On November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired
Related Capital Company, which is the indirect parent of RCC Manager L.L.C., the
managing member of Credit Properties. Pursuant to the acquisition, CharterMac
acquired controlling interests in the General Partners. This acquisition did not
affect the Partnership or its day-to-day operations, as the majority of the
General Partners' management team remained unchanged.
On November 20, 1987, 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 November 20, 1987, as
supplemented by the supplements thereto dated January 14, 1988 and March 14,
1988 (as so supplemented, the "Prospectus"). As of April 4, 1988 (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 $79,937,500 of gross
proceeds of the Offering from 5,525 investors.
The Partnership was formed to invest, as a limited partner, in other limited
partnerships (referred to herein as "Local Partnerships," "subsidiaries" or
"subsidiary partnerships") which own leveraged low and moderate-income
multifamily residential complexes ("Apartment Complexes") that are eligible for
the low-income housing tax credit ("Housing Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax
Reform Act of 1986, and to a lesser extent in Local Partnerships owning
properties ("Rehabilitation Projects"), and together with the Apartment
Complexes, the "Properties" that are eligible for the historic rehabilitation
tax credit (the "Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit", and together with the
Housing Tax Credit, the "Tax Credits"). The Partnership's investment in each
Local Partnership represents a 20% to 98% interest in each of the Local
Partnerships. The Partnership does not anticipate making any additional
investments. As of March 15, 2004, the Partnership has disposed of four of its
31 original Properties. Subsequently on March 31, 2004, the property and the
related assets and liabilities of Walnut Park Associates, L.P. ("Walnut") were
sold. See Item 2, Properties, below.
Liberty Associates is the special limited partner in all of the Local
Partnerships, as well as a general partner of the Partnership. Liberty
Associates has certain rights and obligations in its role as special limited
partner, which permit it to 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 Housing Tax Credits (and
potentially Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits) over the period of the
Partnership's entitlement to claim Tax Credits (for each Property, ten
years from the date of investment or, if later, the date the Property is
placed in service);
2. Participate in any capital appreciation in the value of the Properties and
provide distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds upon the disposition
of Properties;
3. Preserve and protect the Partnership's capital;
4. Provide cash distributions, when available, from the operations of
Properties; and
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
active business income.
One of the Partnership's objectives is to entitle qualified BACs holders to Tax
Credits over the period of the Partnership's entitlement to claim Tax Credits
(for each Property, 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 "Tax Credit Period"). Each of the Local Partnerships in which the
Partnership has acquired an interest has been allocated by respective state
credit agencies the authority to recognize Tax Credits during the Tax 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 Tax Credit Period. Once a Local Partnership has become eligible
to recognize Tax Credits, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an event of
"recapture" if its Property fails to remain in compliance with the Tax Credit
requirements at any time during the Compliance Period. None of the Local
Partnerships in which the Partnership has acquired an interest has suffered an
event of recapture.
The Partnership generated $686, $21,629 and $23,744 in Tax Credits during the
2003, 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years, respectively. As of December 31, 2003 all the
Local Partnerships have completed their tax credit periods and the Partnership
has met its primary objective of generating Tax Credits for qualified BACs
holders. However, 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 Compliance Period will end between December
31, 2003 and December 31, 2008 with respect to the Properties depending upon
when the Tax Credit Period commenced.
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 investment and other passive activities, and allocating
passive losses to the corporate BACs holders to offset business income. At this
time, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will continue to meet this
investment objective.
As of March 15, 2004, the Partnership has not met its investment objective of
providing cash distributions from the operations of the Properties. The
Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs holders
other than distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds upon the disposition of
Properties. Furthermore, at this time there can be no assurance that the
Partnership will achieve this investment objective.
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
19% of the Properties are located in any single state.
The Partnership is the beneficiary of certain subsidy agreements pursuant to
which the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD")
subsidizes the amount of rent that the Local Partnerships earn. There are
substantial risks associated with owning properties receiving government
assistance, such as the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to
enable HUD to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash
distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the
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 contracts expire.
Segments
- --------
The Partnership operates in one segment, which is the investment in multi-family
residential properties.
Competition
- -----------
The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all of the
Properties acquired by the Partnership are subject to 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.
3
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").
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership had acquired an interest as a limited partner in 31 Local
Partnerships. During the fiscal year ended March 15, 2004, the property and
related assets and liabilities of one Local Partnership was sold. Through the
fiscal year ended March 15, 2004, the properties and the related assets and
liabilities of three Local Partnerships and the limited partnership interest in
one Local Partnership were sold (see Note 11 in Item 8). Set forth below is a
schedule of the Local Partnerships including certain information concerning the
Properties (the "Local Partnership Schedule"). Further information concerning
those Local Partnerships and their Properties, including any encumbrances
affecting the Properties, may be found in Item 15, Schedule III.
Except for the seven Local Partnerships listed below, the following is the
allocation of ownership percentage for each of the Local Partnerships:
Local General Partner 1%
Special Limited Partner 1%
Limited Partner - Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. 98%
General Special Liberty Tax Other

(b) The Partnership's limited partnership interest was sold during the fiscal
year ended March 15, 2003 (see Note 11 in Item 8. Financial Statements and

Statements and Supplementary Data).
(d) The property and related assets and liabilities were subsequently sold on
March 31, 2004 (see Note 12 in Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data).
All development deficit, rent-up and operating deficit guarantees with respect
to the Properties have expired.
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.
Commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies) comprise
less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Local Partnership. Maximum rents for
the residential units are determined annually by HUD and reflect
increases/decreases in consumer price indices in various geographic areas.
Market conditions, however, determine the amount of rent actually charged.
Management annually reviews the physical state of the Properties and budgets
improvements when required, which improvements are generally funded from cash
flow from operations or release of replacement reserve escrows to the extent
available.
Management continuously reviews the insurance coverage of the Properties and
believes such coverage is adequate.
See Item 1., Business, above for the general competitive conditions to which the
Properties described above are subject.
Real estate taxes are calculated using rates and assessed valuations determined
by the township or city in which the property is located. Such taxes have
approximated 1% of the aggregate cost of the properties as shown in Schedule III
to the financial statements included herein.

PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters.
The Partnership has issued 15,987.5 Limited Partnership Interests, each
representing a $5,000 capital contribution to the Partnership, for aggregate
gross proceeds of $79,937,500. All of the issued and outstanding Limited
Partnership Interests have been issued to Liberty Credit Assignor Inc. (the
"Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn issued BACs to the purchasers
thereof for an aggregate purchase price of $79,937,500. Each BAC represents all
of the economic and virtually all of the ownership rights attributable to a
Limited Partnership Interest held by the Assignor Limited Partner. BACs may be
converted into Limited Partnership Interests at no cost to the holder (other
than 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 public trading market. Because of the provisions of the Revenue Act
of 1987, unless there are further changes in such law, the Partnership does not
intend to include the BACs for quotation on NASDAQ or for listing on any
national or regional stock exchange or any other established securities market.
The Revenue Act of 1987 contained provisions which have an adverse impact on
investors in "publicly traded partnerships." Accordingly, the General Partners
have imposed limited restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the
Limited Partnership Interests in secondary market transactions. The restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing and may adversely affect
the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment quickly. It is
expected that such procedures will remain in effect until such time, if ever, as
further revision of the Revenue Act of 1987 may permit the Partnership to lessen
the scope of the restrictions.
The Partnership has 5,599 registered holders of an aggregate of 15,987.5 BACs,
as of May 1, 2004.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $2,000, are held by the two General Partners.
Certain Local Partnerships are subject to HUD restrictions which limit annual
cash distributions to partners and restrict the Local Partnerships from selling
or otherwise liquidating their assets without HUD's approval during the period
that the agreement with HUD is in existence.
There are no material legal restrictions in the Partnership Agreement on the
ability to make distributions.
The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of March 15,
2004. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to the
BACs holders other than distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds upon the
disposition of Properties.

- -------------------------------
The Partnership's capital has been invested in 31 Local Partnerships. As of
March 15, 2004, the properties and the related assets and liabilities of three
Local Partnerships and the limited partnership interest in one Local Partnership
were sold (the "Sold Assets"). For a discussion of these sales, see Note 11 in
Item 8.
The Partnership's primary source of funds is cash distributions from operations
of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. Such funds are
available to meet the obligations of the Partnership. During the years ended
March 15, 2004, 2003 and 2002, such distributions amounted to approximately
$124,000, $855,000 and $1,028,000, respectively. In addition, certain fees and
expense reimbursements owed to the General Partners amounting to approximately
$8,002,000, $7,212,000 and $6,235,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 15,
2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In particular, partnership management fees
owed to the General Partners amounting to approximately $7,911,000 and
$7,151,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 15, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Furthermore, expense reimbursements and asset monitoring fees owed to the
General Partners amounting to approximately $90,000 and $61,000 were accrued and
unpaid as of March 15, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Without the General
Partners' continued accrual without payment of the partnership management fees,
the Partnership will not be in the position to meet its obligations. The General
Partners have allowed for the accrual without payment of the partnership
management fees but are under no obligation to continue to do so.
During the year ended March 15, 2004, cash and cash equivalents of the
Partnership decreased approximately $843,000. This decrease is attributable to
costs paid relating to the sale of properties ($440,000), an increase in
property and equipment ($2,100,000), net proceeds and principal repayments of
mortgage notes ($10,804,000), an increase in cash held in escrow relating to
investing activities ($2,707,000), a decrease in due to selling partners
($11,000) and an increase in deferred costs ($131,000) which exceeded cash
provided by operating activities ($3,074,000), a net increase in due to local
general partners and affiliates ($3,185,000), proceeds from sale of properties
($8,700,000), and a decrease in capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest ($390,000). Included in the adjustments to
reconcile the net loss to cash provided by operating activities is depreciation
and amortization of approximately $9,182,000, gain on sale of properties
($1,798,000) and forgiveness of indebtedness income ($114,000).
A working capital reserve of approximately $2,603,000 remained unused at March
15, 2004.
The Partnership is not expected to have access to additional sources of
financing.
On October 20, 1999, President Clinton signed FY 2000 VA, the HUD Independent
Agencies Appropriations Act. The Act contained 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 Act and superceding earlier HUD Notices 98-34, 99-08, 99-15,
99-21 and 99-32. Notice 99-36 clarified many of the earlier uncertainties with
respect to the earlier HUD Section 8 Mark-to-Market Programs and continued the
Mark-up-to-Market Program which allows owners with Section 8 contracts where
contract rents are currently below market to increase the rents to market
levels.
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 may result in recapture of Tax Credits if the investment
is lost before 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
11
remaining properties in the portfolio may be experiencing upswings. However, the
geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
- ------------------------------
The Partnership has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
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.
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 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.
The Partnership complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of 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. At that time property investments
themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash
flows).
12
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. These
assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated.
Through March 15, 2004, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment
of assets or reduction to estimated fair value.
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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").
FIN 46 is applicable immediately for variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created before February 1,
2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are applicable no later than July 1, 2003. The
Partnership has not created any variable interest entities after January 31,
2003. In December 2003 the FASB redeliberated certain proposed modifications and
revised FIN 46 ("FIN 46 (R)"). The revised provisions are applicable no later
than the first reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN
46 and FIN 46 (R) is not anticipated to have a material impact on the
Partnership's financial reporting and disclosures.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous
guidance, could be classified as equity or "mezzanine" equity, by now requiring
those instruments to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some
circumstances) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, SFAS No. 150
requires disclosure regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement
alternatives. The guidance in SFAS No. 150 generally was effective for all
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was
otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after
June 15, 2003. The Partnership has evaluated SFAS No. 150 and determined that it
does not have an impact on the Partnership's financial reporting and
disclosures.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 15, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (the 2003, 2002 and 2001 Fiscal
Years, respectively).
The Partnership's revenues continue to consist primarily of the results of the
Partnership's investment in consolidated Local Partnerships. Sixteen of the
Local Partnerships receive HUD Section 8 subsidies which serve to stabilize the
revenues of these Local Partnerships. The majority of the Local Partnership
income continues to be in the form of rental income with the corresponding
expenses being divided among operations, depreciation, and mortgage interest.
The Partnership had originally invested in 31 Local Partnerships. As of March
15, 2004, Silver Blue Lake Apartments Ltd., Bryden Road (one of the properties
owned by Shiloh-Grove L.P.), Ludlam Garden Apartments Ltd. and Dixie Apartment
Associates sold their properties and related assets and liabilities and Apple
Creek Housing Associates, Ltd. sold its Local Partnership interests
(collectively the "Sold Assets").
The net loss for the 2003, 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years totaled $7,123,790,
$599,929 and $7,920,150, respectively. The 2003 fiscal year is net of an
extraordinary gain of $113,565.
The Partnership generated $686, $21,629 and $23,744 in Tax Credits during the
2003, 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years, respectively. As of December 31, 2003 all the
Local Partnerships have completed their tax credit periods and the Partnership
13
has met its primary objective of generating Tax Credits for qualified BACs
holders, although each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax
Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period for an additional
five years from the date of expiration in order to avoid recapture of the Tax
Credits.
2003 vs. 2002
- -------------
During the years ended March 15, 2004 and 2003, Silver Blue Lake Apartments
Ltd., Bryden Road (one of the properties owned by Shiloh-Grove L.P.), Ludlam
Garden Apartments Ltd. and Dixie Apartment Associates sold their properties and
related assets and liabilities (collectively the "2003 Sold Assets").
Rental income decreased approximately 5% for the 2003 Fiscal Year as compared to
the 2002 Fiscal Year. Excluding the 2003 Sold Assets, rental income increased
approximately 1%, primarily due to rental rate increases.
Total expenses, excluding the 2003 Sold Assets, general and administrative,
repairs and maintenance and depreciation and amortization, remained fairly
consistent with a decrease of approximately 3% for the 2003 Fiscal Year as
compared to the 2002 Fiscal Year.
General and administrative increased approximately $265,000 for the 2003 Fiscal
Year as compared to the 2002 Fiscal Year. Excluding the 2003 Sold Assets,
general and administrative increased approximately $777,000, primarily due to an
increase in salaries and benefits at three Local Partnerships.
Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $512,000 for the 2003 Fiscal
Year as compared to the 2002 Fiscal Year. Excluding the 2003 Sold Assets,
repairs and maintenance increased approximately $937,000, primarily due to an
increase in electrical and plumbing repairs, landscaping expense, security
contracts, maintenance salaries and general repairs due to high tenant turnover
at one Local Partnership, an increase in heating and air conditioning repairs,
repair contracts and maintenance salaries at a second Local Partnership and
increases in maintenance salaries and security contracts at a third Local
Partnership.
Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $956,000 for the 2003
Fiscal Year as compared to the 2002 Fiscal Year. Excluding the 2003 Sold Assets,
depreciation and amortization increased approximately $1,142,000, primarily due
to the resumption of depreciation expense at one Local Partnership that was
classified as an asset held for sale in 2002, and therefore not depreciated in
2002.
Taxes and interest expense decreased approximately $199,000 and $1,530,000,
respectively, for the 2003 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2002 Fiscal Year,
primarily due to decreases related to the 2003 Sold Assets.
Gain on sale of properties and forgiveness of indebtedness income will continue
to fluctuate as a result of the disposition of properties.
2002 vs. 2001
- -------------
During the years ended March 15, 2003 and 2002, Ludlam Garden Apartments Ltd.
and Dixie Apartment Associates sold their properties and related assets and
liabilities and Apple Creek Housing Associates, Ltd. sold its Local Partnership
interests (collectively the "2002 Sold Assets").
Rental income decreased approximately 2% for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to
the 2001 Fiscal Year. Excluding the 2002 Sold Assets, rental income decreased
less than 1%, primarily due to a decrease in occupancy at one local partnership.
Other income decreased approximately $360,000 for the 2002 Fiscal Year as
compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year. Excluding the 2002 Sold Assets, other income
decreased approximately $328,000 primarily due to lower interest rates on cash
and cash equivalent balances at the Local Partnerships and Partnership level and
a decrease in grant income at one Local Partnership.
A gain on sale of properties was recorded in the 2002 Fiscal Year (see Note 11).
14
Total expenses, excluding the 2002 Sold Assets and taxes and insurance, remained
fairly consistent with a decrease of approximately 1% for the 2002 Fiscal Year
as compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year.
Taxes increased approximately $163,000 for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to
the 2001 Fiscal Year. Excluding the 2002 Sold Assets, taxes increased
approximately $202,000, primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes at one
Local Partnership due to a tax reassessment as well as small increases at
several other Local Partnerships.
Insurance increased approximately $432,000 for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared
to the 2001 Fiscal Year. Excluding the 2002 Sold Assets, insurance increased
approximately $446,000, primarily due to an increase in insurance premiums at
the Local Partnerships.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately $952,000 for the
2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001 Fiscal Year, primarily due to decreases
related to the 2002 Sold Assets.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
- ---------------------------------------------------
Redwood Villa Associates, L.P.
- ------------------------------
Redwood Villa Associates, L.P. ("Redwood") has sustained operating losses since
its inception. For the 2003 Fiscal Year, Redwood experienced a loss of $201,871,
including $212,076 of depreciation and $4,553 of amortization, and at December
31, 2003 had a working capital deficiency of $754,531 and a partners' deficit of
$1,729,970. In addition, Redwood has been able to defer ground lease payments
that are due to a related party in the cumulative amount of $363,147 and
$358,147 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about Redwood's ability to continue as a going concern.
Redwood's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
achieve continued profitable operations or obtain future capital contributions
from the partners. The Local General Partner, whenever possible, plans to reduce
operating costs to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements for
the 2003, 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years for Redwood have been prepared assuming
that Redwood will continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment in
Redwood at March 15, 2004 and 2003 was reduced to zero by prior years' losses
and the minority interest balance was approximately $397,000 and $399,000,
respectively. Redwood's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $200,000, $157,000 and $193,000 for the 2003, 2002 and 2001 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
Walnut Park Plaza Associates, L.P.
- ----------------------------------
The financial statements for Walnut Park Plaza Associates ("Walnut Park") have
been prepared on the basis that it will continue as a going concern. Walnut Park
incurred a net loss of $594,376 during the year ended December 31, 2003 and as
of that date the Local Partnership's cash flows from operations were
insufficient to pay current liabilities. In addition, Walnut Park is currently
in default in its bond payments to the Redevelopment Authority of the City of
Philadelphia Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bond due to the inability to
pay its monthly obligation. Those factors create an uncertainty about the Local
Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Local
Partnership is developing a plan to obtain additional financing or restructure
its existing bonds. The Partnership's continued existence is dependent on its
resolution of the default under the mortgage loan. No action has been taken by
the first mortgagee to enforce any of its rights under the loan. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Local
Partnership is unable to continue as a going concern. The Partnership's
investment in Walnut Park at March 15, 2004 and 2003 was reduced to zero by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $993,000
and $1,109,000, respectively. Walnut Park's net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $588,000, $501,000 and $389,000 for the 2003, 2002 and
2001 Fiscal Years, respectively. Walnut Park was subsequently sold on March 31,
2004.
Autumn Park Associates, L.P.
- ----------------------------
Autumn Park Associates, L.P. ("Autumn Park") incurred a net loss of $173,140
during the year ended December 31, 2003, and as of that date, Autumn Park's
total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $815,693. These factors, as well
as uncertain conditions that Autumn Park faces regarding the deterioration and
needed repairs of the buildings, tenants' turnover and vacancies, and debt
service requirements, create uncertainty about Autumn Park's ability to continue
in existence. Autumn Park's management has developed and implemented a plan to
improve tenant selection in order to reduce turnovers and vacancies. The
management is developing a plan to refinance the mortgage to reduce its annual
15
debt service obligation. The ability of Autumn Park to continue operations is
dependent on increased cash flow from rent collections and/or reduced debt
service requirements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary if Autumn Park is unable
to continue operations. The Partnership's investment in Autumn Park at March 15,
2004 and 2003 was reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the minority
interest balance was zero at those dates. Autumn Park's net loss after minority
interest amounted to approximately $173,000, $183,000 and $237,000 for the 2003,
2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years, respectively.
Other
- -----
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. Furthermore, inflation generally does not
impact the fixed long-term financing under which real property investments were
purchased. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships adversely by increasing
operating costs, such as fuel, utilities, and labor.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
-------------------------------------------------------
To the Partners of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership) and Subsidiaries as of March 15, 2004 and 2003,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners'
deficit, and cash flows for the years ended March 15, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (the
2003, 2002 and 2001 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 for 29 (Fiscal Year 2003) and 30 (Fiscal Years
2002 and 2001) subsidiary partnerships whose losses aggregated $4,961,601 (2003
Fiscal Year), $700,428 (2002 Fiscal Year), and $6,641,429 (2001 Fiscal Year) and
whose assets constituted 93% of the Partnership's assets at March 15, 2004 and
2003, presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The
financial statements for these subsidiary partnerships were audited by other
auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us and our opinion
expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these
subsidiary partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based upon our audits, and the reports of the other auditors
referred to above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred
to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. and Subsidiaries at March 15,
2004 and 2003 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
years ended March 15, 2004, 2003 and 2002, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of two subsidiary partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties regarding their continuing operations. During
the 2003 Fiscal Year, these subsidiary partnerships incurred significant
operating losses and have significant equity deficiencies. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the subsidiary partnerships' abilities to continue
as going concerns. The financial statements of these two subsidiary partnerships
were prepared assuming that each will continue as a going concern. The two
subsidiary partnerships' losses aggregated $796,247 (2003 Fiscal Year), $663,949
(2002 Fiscal Year) and $240,856 (2001 Fiscal Year) and their assets aggregated
$10,260,761 and $10,746,963 at March 15, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Management's plans regarding these matters are also discussed in Note 10(a). The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Marlton, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of B & C Housing Associates T/A
St. Thomas Square/Worthington Apartments (A Limited Partnership), HUD Project
No. 118-94008, as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statements of
loss, Partners' capital and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003.
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 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
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 B & C Housing Associates T/A
St. Thomas Square/Worthington Apartments (A Limited Partnership), HUD Project
No. 118-94008, as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its
operations, changes in its Partners' capital and its cash flows for the year
ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
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 we have also issued reports
dated January 15, 2004 on our consideration of B & C Housing Associates' T/A St.
Thomas Square/Worthington Apartments (A Limited Partnership), HUD Project No.
118-94008, internal control and on our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. Those reports are an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the
results of our audit.

changes in partners' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 15, 2004
NOTE 1 - General
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on June 26, 1987, but had no activity until
October 1, 1987 (which date is considered to be inception for financial
accounting purposes). The Partnership had no operations until commencement of
the public offering on November 20, 1987.
The Partnership's business is to invest as a limited partner in other limited
partnerships ("Local Partnerships," "subsidiaries" or "subsidiary partnerships")
owning leveraged apartment complexes that are eligible for the low-income
housing tax credit (the "Low-Income Housing Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax
Reform Act of 1986, and to a lesser extent in Local Partnerships owning
properties that are eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit. The
Partnership had originally invested in 31 subsidiary partnerships. During the
year ended March 15, 2004, the Partnership sold the properties and the related
assets and liabilities of one Local Partnership. Through the year ended March
15, 2004, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in one Local
Partnership and the properties and the related assets and liabilities of three
Local Partnerships.
The general partners of the Partnership are Related Credit Properties L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Related General Partner") and Liberty
Associates III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Liberty Associates", and
together with the Related General Partner, the "General Partners"). The Related
General Partner is also the special limited partner of the Partnership. The
general partner of the Related General Partner is Credit Properties GP LLC
("Credit Properties"), a Delaware corporation. The general partner of Liberty
Associates is the Related General Partner. On November 17, 2003, CharterMac
acquired Related Capital Company, which is the indirect parent of RCC Manager
L.L.C., the managing member of Credit Properties. Pursuant to the acquisition,
CharterMac acquired controlling interests in the General Partners. This
acquisition did not affect the Partnership or its day-to-day operations, as the
majority of the General Partners' management team remained unchanged.
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 for the years ended March 15, 2004, 2003
and 2002 include the accounts of the Partnership and 30, 31 and 31 subsidiary
partnerships, respectively, in which the Partnership is a limited partner.
Through the rights of the Partnership and/or a General Partner, which General
Partner has a contractual obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership, to
remove the general partner of the subsidiary partnerships and to approve certain
major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has a controlling
financial interest in the subsidiary partnerships. All intercompany accounts and
transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have been eliminated in
consolidation.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's fiscal year ends on March
15. All subsidiaries have fiscal years ending December 31. Accounts of
subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1
through March 15. The Partnership's fiscal year ends on March 15 in order to
allow adequate time for the subsidiaries financial statements to be prepared and
consolidated. The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the
accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). Accounts of the subsidiary partnerships have
been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1 through March 15.
91
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 15, 2004
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiary
partnerships attributable to minority interest arise from cash contributions and
cash distributions to the minority interest partners.
The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary partnership is equal to the
respective subsidiary partnership's partners' equity less minority interest
capital, if any. Losses attributable to minority interests which exceed the
minority interests' investment in subsidiary partnerships have been charged to
the Partnership. Such losses aggregated approximately $192,000, $15,000 and
$273,000 for the years ended March 15, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In
consolidation, all subsidiary partnership losses are included in the
Partnership's capital account except for losses allocated to minority interest
capital.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments
in short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of
three months or less.
c) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost, which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the
time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated
depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in
earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates
amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an
undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time, property
investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using
discounted cash flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and the
depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.
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. These
assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated.
Through March 15, 2004, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment
of assets or reduction to estimated fair value.
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
to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax
purposes, the Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31 (Note 9).
e) 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.

f) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly
actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 notes payable are as
follows:
March 15, 2004 March 15, 2003
-------------------------- --------------------------
Carrying Carrying
Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value
------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
Mortgage notes payable for
which it is:
Practicable to estimate fair value $82,599,517 $87,599,429 $68,157,031 $68,157,031
Not practicable $54,240,644 (*) $79,637,580 (*)
(*) 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.
The carrying amount of other financial instruments that require such disclosure
approximates fair value.

Included in property and equipment are $6,859,371 of acquisition fees paid to
the General Partners and $809,661 of acquisition expenses. In addition, as of
March 15, 2004, buildings and improvements include $2,870,719 of capitalized
interest.
In connection with the development or rehabilitation of the Properties, the
subsidiary partnerships have incurred developer's fees of $23,360,275 to the

NOTE 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
a) Subsidiary Partnership - Going Concern
Two subsidiary partnerships, Redwood Villa Associates and Walnut Park Plaza
Associates have significant contingencies and uncertainties regarding their
continuing operations which raise substantial doubt about their abilities to
continue as going concerns. The financial statements of these two subsidiary
partnerships were prepared assuming that each will continue as a going concern.
Redwood Villa Associates, L.P.
- ------------------------------
Redwood Villa Associates, L.P. ("Redwood") has sustained operating losses since
its inception. For the 2003 Fiscal Year, Redwood experienced a loss of $201,871,
including $212,076 of depreciation and $4,553 of amortization, and at December
31, 2003 had a working capital deficiency of $754,531 and a partners' deficit of
$1,729,970. In addition, Redwood has been able to defer ground lease payments
that are due to a related party in the cumulative amount of $363,147 and
$358,147 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about Redwood's ability to continue as a going concern.
Redwood's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
achieve continued profitable operations or obtain future capital contributions
from the partners. The Local General Partner, whenever possible, plans to reduce
operating costs to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements for
99
LIBERTY TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 15, 2004
the 2003, 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years for Redwood have been prepared assuming
that Redwood will continue as a going concern. The Partnership's investment in
Redwood at March 15, 2004 and 2003 was reduced to zero by prior years' losses
and the minority interest balance was approximately $397,000 and $399,000,
respectively. Redwood's net loss after minority interest amounted to
approximately $200,000, $157,000 and $193,000 for the 2003, 2002 and 2001 Fiscal
Years, respectively.
Walnut Park Plaza Associates, L.P. ---------------------------------- The
financial statements for Walnut Park Plaza Associates ("Walnut Park") have been
prepared on the basis that it will continue as a going concern. Walnut Park
incurred a net loss of $594,376 during the year ended December 31, 2003 and as
of that date the Local Partnership's cash flows from operations were
insufficient to pay current liabilities. In addition, Walnut Park is currently
in default in its bond payments to the Redevelopment Authority of the City of
Philadelphia Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bond due to the inability to
pay its monthly obligation. Those factors create an uncertainty about the Local
Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Local
Partnership is developing a plan to obtain additional financing or restructure
its existing bonds. The ability of the Local Partnership to continue as a going
concern is dependent on obtaining additional financing or restructuring its
existing bond. The Partnership's continued existence is dependent on its
resolution of the default under the mortgage loan. No action has been taken by
the first mortgagee to enforce any of its rights under the loan. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Local
Partnership is unable to continue as a going concern. The Partnership's
investment in Walnut Park at March 15, 2004 and 2003 was reduced to zero by
prior years' losses and the minority interest balance was approximately $993,000
and $1,109,000, respectively. Walnut Park's net loss after minority interest
amounted to approximately $588,000, $501,000 and $389,000 for the 2003, 2002 and
2001 Fiscal Years, respectively. Walnut Park was subsequently sold on March 31,
2004.
b) Subsidiary Partnerships - Other
Autumn Park Associates, L.P.
- ----------------------------
Autumn Park Associates, L.P. ("Autumn Park") incurred a net loss of $173,140
during the year ended December 31, 2003, and as of that date, Autumn Park's
total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $815,693. These factors, as well
as uncertain conditions that Autumn Park faces regarding the deterioration and
needed repairs of the buildings, tenants' turnover and vacancies, and debt
service requirements, create uncertainty about Autumn Park's ability to continue
in existence. Autumn Park's management has developed and implemented a plan to
improve tenant selection in order to reduce turnovers and vacancies. The
management is developing a plan to refinance the mortgage to reduce its annual
debt service obligation. The ability of Autumn Park to continue operations is
dependent on increased cash flow from rent collections and/or reduced debt
service requirements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary if Autumn Park is unable
to continue operations. The Partnership's investment in Autumn Park at March 15,
2004 and 2003 was reduced to zero by prior years' losses and the minority
interest balance was zero at those dates. Autumn Park's net loss after minority
interest amounted to approximately $173,000, $183,000 and $237,000 for the 2003,
2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years, respectively.
c) Lease Commitment
Redwood entered into a forty-year ground lease with a related party for the land
on which the building is built. As stipulated in the lease, the subsidiary
partnership agrees to pay all real estate taxes, license and permit fees, among
other charges that may be assessed upon the land or improvements. At December
31, 2003, Redwood was committed to minimum future rentals on the noncancellable
lease in the amount of $60,000 a year through 2028. The lease payments are
payable from available cash and at December 31, 2003 and 2002 the subsidiary
partnership has accrued lease payments of $363,147 and $358,147, respectively.

d) 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 15, 2004 uninsured cash and cash
equivalents approximated $3,500,000.
e) Other
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can
also be affected by poor economic conditions generally, however no more than 19%
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
contracts expire.
f) Tax Credits
A portion of the Tax Credits could be subject to recapture in future years if
(i) a Local Partnership ceases to meet qualification requirements, or (ii) if
there is a decrease in the qualified basis of the Local Partnership property or
(iii) if there is a reduction in the Local Partnership interest in the property
at any time during the 15-year Compliance Period that began with the first tax
year of the Credit Period. As of December 31, 2003, the Tax Credit Period for
each Local Partnership has expired.
NOTE 11 - Sale of Properties
On May 19, 2003, the property and the related assets and liabilities of Silver
Blue were sold to an unaffiliated third party for a purchase price of $3,500,000
resulting in a gain of approximately $408,000. Accrued interest on a note
related to the Local Partnership was forgiven resulting in forgiveness of
indebtedness income of approximately $114,000. The sale resulted in the
liquidation of Silver Blue.
On March 16, 2003, the Partnership recorded the transfer of the deed in lieu of
foreclosure to Bryden Road, one of the properties owned by Shiloh to an
unaffiliated third party. The outstanding mortgage balance paid by the third
party on the day of transfer was $189,871 resulting in a gain of $104,000, which
is included in gain on sale of properties.
On January 23, 2003, the property and the related assets and liabilities of
Ludlam Gardens Apartments, LTD. ("Ludlam") were sold to an unaffiliated third
party for a purchase price of $3,900,000 resulting in a gain of approximately
$959,000. The sale resulted in the liquidation of Ludlam.
On January 16, 2003, the property and the related assets and liabilities of
Dixie Apartment Associates, LTD. ("Dixie") were sold to an unaffiliated third
party for a purchase price of $1,300,000 resulting in a gain of approximately
$327,000. The sale resulted in the liquidation of Dixie.
On December 18, 2002, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the local
general partner to sell its remaining limited partnership interest in Shiloh for
a purchase price of $175,000. The sale is expected to occur in late 2004. No
assurance can be given that the closing will actually occur.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Related Credit Properties L.P. and
Liberty Associates III, L.P., the general partners of the Partnership, has
evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officer has
concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership's disclosure
controls and procedures are effective.
(b) INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. There have not been any changes
in Partnership's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal
year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over
financial reporting.
PART III
Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant.
The Partnership has no directors or officers. The Partnership's affairs are
managed and controlled by the General Partners. The Partnership has not adopted
a separate code of ethics because the Partnership has no directors or executive
officers. However, the parent company of Related Capital Company, which controls
our General Partners, has adopted a code of ethics. See
http://www.chartermac.com.
On November 17, 2003, CharterMac acquired Related Capital Company, which is the
indirect parent of RCC Manager L.L.C., the managing member of the general
partner of the Related General Partners. Pursuant to the acquisition, CharterMac
acquired controlling interests in the General Partners. Alan P. Hirmes replaced
Stephen M. Ross as Director of the general partner of the Related General
Partner effective April 1, 2004 as a result of this acquisition. This
acquisition did not affect the Partnership or its day-to-day operations as the
majority of the General Partner's management team remained unchanged.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
-------------------------------------------------------
To the Partners of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of
Liberty Tax Credit Plus L.P. and Subsidiaries included in the Form 10-K as
presented in our opinion dated June 7, 2004 on page 18 and based on the reports
of other auditors, we have also audited supporting Schedule I for the 2003, 2002
and 2001 Fiscal Years and Schedule III at March 15, 2004. In our opinion, and
based on the reports of the other auditors (certain of which were modified due
to the uncertainty of these subsidiary partnerships' abilities to continue in
existence), these consolidated schedules present fairly, when read in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements, the financial
data required to be set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 10(a), the consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of two subsidiary partnerships with significant
contingencies and uncertainties regarding their continuing operations. During
the 2003 Fiscal Year, these subsidiary partnerships incurred significant
operating losses and have significant equity deficiencies. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the subsidiary partnerships' abilities to continue
as going concerns. The financial statements of these two subsidiary partnerships
were prepared assuming that each will continue as a going concern. The two
subsidiary partnerships' losses aggregated $796,247 (2003 Fiscal Year), $663,949
(2002 Fiscal Year) and $240,856 (2001 Fiscal Year) and their assets aggregated
$10,260,761 and $10,746,963 at March 15, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Management's plans regarding these matters are also discussed in Note 10(a). The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

At the time the local partnerships were acquired by Liberty Tax Credit Plus
Limited Partnership, the entire purchase price paid by Liberty Tax Credit Plus
Limited Partnership was pushed down to the local partnerships as property and
equipment with an offsetting credit to capital. Since the projects were in the
construction phase at the time of acquisition, the capital accounts were
insignificant at the time of purchase. Therefore, there are no material
differences between the original cost basis for tax and GAAP.
