PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
- -------
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. II (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on February
11, 1992. The general partner of the Partnership is Related Independence
Associates L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "General Partner"). The
general partner of the General Partner is Related Independence Associates Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("RIAI") and is an affiliate of Related Capital Company
("RCC").
On January 19, 1993, 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"). The Partnership received $58,928,000 of gross proceeds
from the Offering (the "Gross Proceeds") from 3,475 investors ("BACs holders").
The Offering was terminated on April 7, 1994.
The Partnership's business is primarily to invest as a limited partner in other
partnerships ("Local Partnerships") owning apartment 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, some of
which may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic
Tax Credit"; and together with Housing Tax Credits, "Tax Credits"). The
Partnership's investment in each Local Partnership represents 98.99% of the
partnership interests in the Local Partnership. As of March 31, 2003, the
Partnership had acquired interests in fifteen Local Partnerships and does not
anticipate making any additional investments. As of March 31, 2003,
approximately $47,000,000 (not including acquisition fees of approximately
$3,502,000) of net proceeds has been invested in fifteen Local Partnerships of
which approximately $282,000 remains to be paid to the Local Partnerships, as
certain benchmarks such as occupancy levels must be attained prior to the
release of such funds. The Partnership does not intend to acquire additional
properties, however, the Partnership may be required to pay for potential
purchase price adjustments based on tax credit adjustor clauses. See Item 2.
Properties, below.
Investment Objectives/Government Incentives
- -------------------------------------------
The Partnership was formed to invest in Apartment Complexes that are eligible
for the Housing Tax Credit enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Some Apartment
Complexes may also be eligible for Historic Tax Credits. The investment
objectives of the Partnership are described below.
1. 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 "Credit Period") 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 Tax
Credits over the Credit Period. Each of the Local Partnerships in which the
Partnership has acquired an interest has been allocated by the relevant state
credit agencies the authority to recognize Tax Credits during the Credit Period
provided that the Local Partnership satisfies the rent restriction, minimum
set-aside and other requirements for recognition of the Tax Credits at all times
during such 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.
None of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has acquired an interest
has suffered an event of recapture.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will achieve its investment
objectives as described above.
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can
also be affected by poor economic conditions generally, however no more than 33%
of the Properties are located in any single state. There are also substantial
risks associated with owning interests in properties, as does the Partnership,
which receive government assistance, for example the possibility that Congress
may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make rental assistance payments. HUD
also restricts annual cash distributions to partners based on operating results
and a percentage of the owner's equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell
or substantially liquidate its investments in subsidiary partnerships during the
period that the subsidy agreements are in existence, without HUD's approval.
Furthermore, there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents
when the rental assistance contracts expire.
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 by the Partnership are expected to have active competition
from similar properties in their respective vicinities. Various other limited
partnerships have, in the past, and may, in the future, be formed by the General
Partner and/or its affiliates to engage in businesses which may be competitive
with the Partnership.
Employees
- ---------
The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are performed
for the Partnership by the General Partner and its affiliates. The General
Partner receives compensation in connection with such activities as set forth in
Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the General Partner and
certain of its 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 holds a 98.99% limited partnership interest in fifteen Local
Partnerships as of March 31, 2003. Set forth below is a schedule of the Local
Partnerships including certain information concerning their respective Apartment
Complexes (the "Local Partnership Schedule"). Further information concerning
these Local Partnerships and their properties, including any encumbrances
affecting the properties, may be found in Item 15. Schedule III.

All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years and no
tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
Rents from commercial tenants (to which average rental per square foot applies)
comprise less than 5% of the rental revenues of the Partnership. Maximum
allowable rents for the residential units are determined annually by HUD.
Management continuously reviews the physical state of the Properties and
suggests to the respective general partners of the Local Partnerships ("Local
General Partners") budget improvements which are generally funded from cash flow
from operations or release of replacement reserve escrows.
Management continuously reviews the insurance coverage of the Properties and
believes such coverage is adequate.
See Item 1, Business, above for the general competitive conditions to which the
properties described above are subject.
Real estate taxes are calculated using rates and assessed valuations determined
by the township or city in which the property is located. Such taxes have
approximated 1% of the aggregate cost of the properties as shown in Schedule III
to the financial statements included herein.
Housing Tax Credits with respect to a given Apartment Complex are available for
a ten-year period that commences when the property is placed into service.
However, the annual Tax Credits available in the year in which the Apartment
Complex is placed in service, must be prorated based upon the months remaining
in the year. The amount of the annual Tax Credit not available in the first year
will be available in the eleventh year. In certain cases, the Partnership
acquired its interest in a Local Partnership after the Local Partnership had
placed its Apartment Complex in service. In these cases, the Partnership may be
allocated Tax Credits only beginning in the month following the month in which
it acquired its interest and Tax Credits allocated in any prior period are not
available to the Partnership.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

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 outstanding 58,928 Limited
Partnership Interests, each representing a $1,000 capital contribution to the
Partnership, or an aggregate capital contribution of $58,928,000 before volume
discounts of $2,000. All of the issued and outstanding Limited Partnership
Interests have been issued to Independence Assignor Inc. (the "Assignor Limited
Partner"), which has in turn issued 58,928 BACs to the purchasers thereof for an
aggregate purchase price of $58,928,000 reduced by volume discounts of $2,000.
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.
Neither the BACs nor the Limited Partnership Interests are traded on any
established trading market. The Partnership does not intend to include the BACs
for quotation on NASDAQ or for listing on any national or regional stock
exchange or any other established securities market. The Revenue Act of 1987
contained provisions which have an adverse impact on investors in "publicly
traded partnerships." Accordingly, the General Partner has imposed limited
restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the Limited Partnership
Interests in secondary market transactions. Implementation of the restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing and may adversely affect
the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment quickly. It is
expected that these procedures will remain in effect until such time, if ever,
as further revision of the Revenue Act of 1987 may permit the Partnership to
lessen the scope of the restrictions.
As of May 8, 2003, the Partnership has approximately 3,436 registered holders of
an aggregate of 58,928 BACs.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $1,000, are held by the General Partner.
There are no material legal restrictions in the Partnership Agreement on the
ability of the Partnership to make distributions. However, 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 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
General
- -------
The Partnership's primary source of funds is a working capital reserve and
interest thereon. This source of funds is available to meet obligations of the
Partnership.
Through March 31, 2003, the Partnership has invested all of the net proceeds in
fifteen Local Partnerships of which approximately $282,000 remains to be paid
(including approximately $24,000 being held in escrow).
For the year ended March 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership
and its fifteen consolidated Local Partnerships decreased approximately
($302,000) due to repayments of mortgage loans ($480,000), acquisition of
property and equipment ($488,000) and a decrease in capitalization of
consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($236,000) which
exceeded cash provided by operating activities ($804,000), a decrease in escrow
deposits relating to investing activities ($74,000) and a net decrease in due to
local general partners and affiliates relating to investing and financing
activities ($24,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to
cash provided by operations is depreciation and amortization of approximately
$3,519,000.
At March 31, 2003, there is a balance of approximately $153,000 in the working
capital reserve. The General Partner believes that these reserves, plus cash
distributions to be received from the operations of the Local Partnerships, will
be sufficient (subject to the continued deferral of fees payable to the General
Partner) to fund the Partnership's ongoing operations for the foreseeable
future. During the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, amounts received
from operations of the Local Partnerships were approximately $88,000, $71,000
and $68,000, respectively. Management anticipates receiving distributions in the
future, although not to a level sufficient to permit providing cash
distributions to BACs holders.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to
approximately $2,793,000 and $2,247,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31,
2003 and 2002, respectively (see Note 8). Without the General Partners' advances
and continued accrual without payment of certain fees and expense
reimbursements, the Partnership will not be in a position to meet its
obligations. The General Partner has continued to advance and allow the accrual
without payment of these amounts but is under no obligation to continue to do
so.
For a discussion of contingencies affecting certain Local Partnerships, see
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships, below. Since the maximum
loss the Partnership would be liable for is its net investment in the respective
subsidiary partnerships, the resolution of the existing contingencies is not
anticipated to impact future results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition in a material way. However, the Partnership's loss of its investment
in a Local Partnership will eliminate the ability to generate future Tax Credits
from such Local Partnership and may also result in recapture of Tax Credits if
the investment is lost before expiration of the Credit Period.
Except as described above, management is not aware of any trends or events,
commitments or uncertainties, which have not otherwise been disclosed that will
or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way. Management believes the
only impact would be from laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is
diversified by the location of the properties around the United States so that
if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the
remaining Properties in the portfolio may be experiencing upswings. However the
geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general
10
downturn in the national economy. The Partnership has invested the proceeds of
its offering in 15 Local Partnerships, all of which fully have their Tax Credits
in place. The 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 Tax Credits would transfer to the new owner; thereby
adding significant value to the Property on the market, which value is not
included in the financial statement carrying amount.
Critical Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------
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 is a summary of certain
accounting estimates considered critical by the Partnership.
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. 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).
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.

11
Through March 31, 2003, the Partnership has recorded approximately $3,926,000 as
an aggregate loss on impairment of assets.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 (the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal
Years, respectively).
The net loss for the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years totaled $4,534,786,
$4,132,678 and $4,806,575, respectively.
The Partnership and BACs holders began to recognize Tax Credits with respect to
a Property when the Credit Period for such Property commenced. Because of the
time required for the acquisition, completion and rent-up of Properties, the
amount of Tax Credits per BAC gradually increased over the first three years of
the Partnership. Housing Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years
will be recognized in the 11th through 13th years. The Partnership generated
$8,746,267, $8,746,267 and $8,728,115 of Housing Tax Credits during the 2002,
2001 and 2000 tax years, respectively.
2002 vs. 2001
- -------------
The Partnership's results of operations for the 2002 and 2001 Fiscal Years
consisted primarily of the results of the Partnership's investment in fifteen
consolidated Local Partnerships. The majority of Local Partnership income
continues to be in the form of rental income with the corresponding expenses
being divided among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.
Rental income increased approximately 4% for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to
the 2001 Fiscal Year primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income decreased $196,000 for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001
Fiscal Year due to one Local Partnership receiving a property tax refund in the
2001 Fiscal Year and another Local Partnership receiving a HUD energy rebate in
the 2001 Fiscal Year.
Total expenses, excluding insurance, remained fairly consistent with an increase
of approximately 3% for the 2002 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2001 Fiscal
Year.
Insurance increased approximately $152,000 for the 2002 Fiscal year as compared
to the 2001 Fiscal Year primarily due to increased insurance premiums at the
Local Partnerships.
2001 vs. 2000
- -------------
The Partnership's results of operations for the 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years
consisted primarily of the results of the Partnership's investment in fifteen
consolidated Local Partnerships. The majority of Local Partnership income
continues to be in the form of rental income with the corresponding expenses
being divided among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.
Rental income increased approximately 4% for the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared to
the 2000 Fiscal Year primarily due to rental rate increases.
Total expenses, excluding operating, remained fairly consistent with a decrease
of approximately 2% for the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2000 Fiscal
Year.
Operating decreased approximately $126,000 for the 2001 Fiscal Year as compared
to the 2000 Fiscal Year primarily due to decreased electrical and water charges
at one Local Partnership.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
- ---------------------------------------------------
Clear Horizons Limited Partnership
- ----------------------------------
At December 31, 2002, Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear Horizons")
current liabilities exceeded its current assets by over $182,000. Although this
12
condition could raise substantial doubt about Clear Horizons' ability to
continue as a going concern, such doubt is alleviated as follows:
1. Included in current liabilities at December 31, 2002, is $188,770 owed to
related parties who have advised Clear Horizons that they do not intend to
pursue collection beyond Clear Horizons' ability to pay.
2. The Local General Partner of Clear Horizons has agreed to fund operating
deficits up to $250,000.
Accordingly, management believes that Clear Horizons has the ability to continue
as a going concern for at least one year from December 31, 2002.
Other
- -----
The Partnership's investment as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships is
subject to the risks of potential losses arising from management and ownership
of improved real estate. The Partnership's investments also could be adversely
affected by poor economic conditions generally, which could increase vacancy
levels and rental payment defaults and by increased operating expenses, any or
all of which could threaten the financing viability of one or more of the Local
Partnerships.
There also are substantial risks associated with the operation of Apartment
Complexes receiving government assistance. These include governmental
regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to
rent apartments in the complexes; difficulties in obtaining government approval
for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of income which low and
moderate-income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility that Congress may not
appropriate funds to enable the Department of Housing and Urban Development to
make the rental assistance payments it has contracted to make; and that when the
rental assistance contracts expire, there may not be market demand for
apartments at full market rents in a Local Partnership's Apartment Complex.
The Local Partnerships are impacted by inflation in several ways. Inflation
allows for increases in rental rates generally to reflect the impact of higher
operating and replacement costs. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships
adversely by increasing operating costs as, for example, for such items as fuel,
utilities and labor.

To the Partners of
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. II and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Independence Tax Credit Plus
L.P. II and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited Partnership) as of March 31, 2003
and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2003,
2002 and 2001 (the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years, respectively). The
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 twelve (Fiscal 2002
and 2001) and fifteen (Fiscal 2000) subsidiary partnerships whose losses
aggregated $2,808,360, $2,471,026 and $4,013,266 for the 2002, 2001 and 2000
Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose assets constituted 68% of the
Partnership's assets at March 31, 2003 and 2002, presented in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of these subsidiary
partnerships were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been
furnished to us and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for these subsidiary partnerships, is based solely upon the
reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Independence Tax Credit Plus
L.P. II and Subsidiaries at March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
NOTE 1 - General
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. II (a Delaware limited partnership) (the
"Partnership") was organized on February 11, 1992 and commenced the public
offering on January 19, 1993. The general partner of the Partnership is Related
Independence Associates L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "General
Partner").
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
("Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, some of which complexes
may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit.
The Partnership has interests in fifteen subsidiary partnerships as of March 31,
2003.
The Partnership was authorized to issue a total of 100,000 ($100,000,000)
Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs") which were registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for sale to the public. Each BAC represents
all of the economic and virtually all of the ownership rights attributable to a
limited partnership interest. The Partnership raised a total of $58,928,000
representing 58,928 BACs. The offering was terminated on April 7, 1994.
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 partner.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and fifteen subsidiary partnerships in which the Partnership is the principal
limited partner, with an ownership interest of 98.99%. Through the rights of the
Partnership and/or an affiliate of the General Partner, which affiliate has a
contractual obligation to act on behalf of the Partnership, to remove the
general partner of the subsidiary local partnerships and to approve certain
major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has a controlling
financial interest in the subsidiary local partnerships. 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
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
All subsidiaries have fiscal years ending December 31. Accounts of the
subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1
through March 31.
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interest arises from cash contributions and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.
The Partnership's investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective
subsidiary's partners' equity less minority interest capital, if any. Losses
63
INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. II
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
attributable to minority interest which exceed the minority interests'
investment in a subsidiary partnership have been charged to the Partnership.
Such losses aggregated approximately $27,000, $26,000 and $30,000 for the years
ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 (the 2002, 2001 and 2000 Fiscal Years),
respectively. In consolidation, all subsidiary partnership losses are included
in the Partnership's capital account except for losses allocated to minority
interest capital. As of March 31, 2003, distributions to several minority
interests have exceeded their investments.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments
in short-term highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of
three months or less. Cash held in escrow has various use restrictions and is
not considered a cash equivalent.
Through March 31, 2003, the Partnership has recorded an aggregate loss on
impairment of assets of approximately $3,926,000.
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).
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) Offering Costs
Costs incurred to sell BACs, including brokerage and the nonaccountable expense
allowance, are considered selling and offering expenses. These costs are charged
directly to limited partners' capital (Note 8).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
f) Loss Contingencies
The Partnership records loss contingencies as a charge to income when
information becomes available which indicates that it is probable that an asset
has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the
financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 nontrading
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 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 $20,163,868 $15,987,427 $23,204,388 $20,441,975
Not practicable $37,439,608 * $34,879,086 *
*Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of the
mortgage notes payable because mortgage programs with similar characteristics
are not currently available to the Local Partnerships.
The carrying amount of other financial instruments that require such disclosure
approximates fair value.

NOTE 7 - Mortgage Notes Payable
The mortgage notes are payable in aggregate monthly installments of
approximately $155,000 including principal and interest at rates ranging from 0%
to 9.65% per annum, through the year 2052. Each subsidiary partnership's
mortgage note payable is collateralized by the land and buildings of the
respective subsidiary partnership, the assignment of each certain subsidiary
partnership's rents and leases, and is without further recourse.
One mortgage note with a balance of $4,347,411 and $4,575,674 at December 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively, which bears interest at 7% per annum is eligible
for an interest rate subsidy. Accordingly, the subsidiary partnership paid only
that portion of the monthly payments that would be required if the interest rate
was 1%. The balance was subsidized under Section 236 of the National Housing
Act.
Annual principal payment requirements for mortgage notes payable for each of the
next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

At December 31, 2002, Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear Horizons")
current liabilities exceeded its current assets by over $182,000. Although this
condition could raise substantial doubt about Clear Horizons' ability to
continue as a going concern, such doubt is alleviated as follows:
1. Included in current liabilities at December 31, 2002 is $188,770 owed to
related parties who have advised Clear Horizons that they do not intend to
pursue collection beyond Clear Horizons' ability to pay.
2. The Local General Partner of Clear Horizons has agreed to fund operating
deficits up to $250,000.
Accordingly, management believes that Clear Horizons has the ability to continue
as a going concern for at least one year from December 31, 2002.

The Partnership and BACs holders began to recognize Tax Credits with respect to
a Property when the Credit Period for such Property commenced. Because of the
time required for the acquisition, completion and rent-up of Properties, the
amount of Tax Credits per BAC has gradually increased over the first three years
of the Partnership. Housing Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years
will be recognized in the 11th through 13th years. For the 2002, 2001 and 2000

Section 13 (d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) with respect to

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