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").
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, 2001, the
Partnership had acquired interests in fifteen Local Partnerships and does not
anticipate making any additional investments. As of March 31, 2001,
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 $890,000 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. 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.
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 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, 2001. 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 14. Schedule III.

(1) Property in rent-up phase.
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.
In connection with investments in development-stage Apartment Complexes, the
General Partner generally required that the Local General Partners provide
completion guarantees and/or undertake to repurchase the Partnership's interest
in the Local Partnership if construction or rehabilitation was not completed
substantially on time or on budget ("Development Deficit Guarantees"). The
Development Deficit Guarantees generally also required the Local General Partner
to provide any funds necessary to cover net operating deficits of the Local
Partnership until such time as the Apartment Complex had achieved break-even
operations. The General Partner generally required that the Local General
Partners undertake an obligation to fund operating deficits of the Local
Partnership (up to a stated maximum amount) during a limited period of time
(typically three to five years) following the achievement of break-even
operations ("Operating Deficit Guarantees"). Under the terms of the Development
and Operating Deficit Guarantees, amounts funded have been treated as Operating
Loans which will not bear interest and which will be repaid only out of 50% of
available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds. In
some instances, the Local General Partners are required to undertake an
obligation to comply with a Rent-Up Guaranty Agreement, whereby the Local
General Partner agrees to pay liquidated damages if predetermined occupancy
rates are not achieved. These payments are made without right of repayment. In
cases where the General Partner deems it appropriate, the obligations of a Local
General Partner under the Development Deficit (all of which have expired as of
March 31, 2001), Operating Deficit (all current operating deficits expire within
the next year) and/or Rent-Up Guarantees (all rent-up deficit guarantees have
expired as of March 31, 2001) are secured by letters of credit and/or cash
escrow deposits.
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 3. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters.
As of March 31, 2001, 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 March 31, 2001, the Partnership has approximately 3,416 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, 2001. The Partnership
does not anticipate providing cash distributions to its BACs holders other than
from net refinancing or sales proceeds.
In January 2001, affiliates of Everest Properties, Inc. ("Everest") conducted a
tender offer for up to 1,492.50 BACs. In connection with a prior tender offer
for BACs, an affiliate of the General Partner entered into a standstill
agreement dated as of April 23, 1997 (the "Standstill"), which precluded Everest
from independently soliciting BACs (by tender offer or otherwise). At Everest's
request, the General Partner caused its affiliate to release Everest from the
Standstill for the limited purpose of permitting Everest to make its tender
offer. In connection with such arrangements, Everest agreed to cover all of the
Partnership's expenses with respect to processing the tender offer including
mailing costs, legal fees and other administrative costs incurred by the
Partnership. These reimbursements resulted in aggregate payments to the
Partnership of $65,928 which are reflected as "other income" on the financial
statements for Fiscal Year 2000.

capital
During the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, total assets
decreased primarily due to depreciation partially offset by improvements to
property and equipment. During the year ended March 31, 1998, total assets
decreased primarily due to depreciation, loss on impairment of assets and the
repayments of amounts due to Local General Partners and affiliates, partially
offset by improvements to property and equipment. During the year ended March
31, 1997, total assets decreased primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents resulting from construction in progress and acquisitions of property
and equipment in excess of net proceeds from mortgage and construction loans and
also the repayments of amounts due to Local General Partners and affiliates.
This decrease in cash and cash equivalents was partially offset by the increase
in construction in progress and acquisitions of property and equipment net of
depreciation. Construction in progress decreased approximately $19,000,000 for
the year ended March 31, 1997. For the year ended March 31, 1997, minority
interest decreased due to distributions received by the Local General Partners.
Cash Distributions
- - ------------------
The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31,
2001.
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, 2001, the Partnership has invested all of the net proceeds in
fifteen Local Partnerships of which approximately $890,000 remains to be paid
(including approximately $631,000 being held in escrow).
For the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2001, cash and cash equivalents for the
Partnership and its fifteen consolidated Local Partnerships decreased
approximately $16,000. This decrease is primarily due to improvements to
property and equipment ($292,000), principal payments of mortgage notes
($373,000), a decrease in cash held in escrow from investing activities
($266,000), an increase in deferred costs ($4,000) and a decrease in
capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest
($71,000) which exceeded cash provided by operating activities ($978,000) and a
net increase in due to local general partners and affiliates relating to
investing and financing activities ($7,000). Included in the adjustments to
reconcile the net loss to cash provided by operating activities is depreciation
and amortization ($3,509,000).
At March 31, 2001, there is a balance of approximately $252,000 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, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
amounts received from operations of the Local Partnerships were approximately
$68,000, $70,000 and $66,000. 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 $1,751,000 and $1,205,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31,
2001 and 2000, 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.
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements with all
Local Partnerships by which the Local General Partners have agreed to fund
operating deficits for a specified period of time. The terms of the Operating
Deficit Guaranty Agreements vary for each Local Partnership, with maximum dollar
amounts to be funded for a specified period of time, generally three years,
commencing on the break-even date. The gross amount of the Operating Deficit
Guarantees aggregates approximately $5,670,000, of which $4,840,000 has expired
as of March 31, 2001. As of March 31, 2001 and 2000, $374,626 and $365,409,
respectively, has been funded under the Operating Deficit Guaranty agreements.
All current Operating Deficit Guarantees expire within the next year. Management
does not expect their expiration to have a material impact on liquidity based on
prior years' fundings.
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 for laws that have not yet been adopted. The portfolio is
diversified by the location of the properties around the United States so that
if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in the economy, the
remaining properties in the portfolio may be experiencing upswings. However the
geographic diversification of the portfolio may not protect against a general
downturn in the national economy. The Partnership has 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 are not included
in the financial statement carrying amount.
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are 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).
Through March 31, 2001, the Partnership has recorded approximately $3,926,000 as
a loss on impairment of assets.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (the 2000, 1999 and 1998 Fiscal
Years, respectively).
The net loss for the 2000, 1999 and 1998 Fiscal Years totaled $4,806,575,
$4,914,664 and $4,721,113, 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
$8,728,115, $8,728,115 and $8,806,766 of Housing Tax Credits during the 2000,
1999 and 1998 tax years, respectively.
2000 vs. 1999
- - -------------
The Partnership's results of operations for the 2000 and 1999 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 3% for the year ended March 31, 2001 as
compared to 2000 primarily due to rental rate increases.
Other income increased approximately $203,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001
as compared to 2000 primarily due to increased laundry income at one Local
Partnership and administrative fees paid by the offerer to the Partnership in
connection with a tender offer for the Partnership's BACs at the Partnership
level.
Total expenses, excluding operating, remained fairly consistent with an increase
of approximately 1% for the year ended March 31, 2001 as compared to 2000.
Operating increased approximately $199,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001 as
compared to 2000 primarily due to increased electrical and water charges at one
Local Partnership for the year ended March 31, 2001.
1999 vs. 1998
- - -------------
The Partnership's results of operations for the 1999 and 1998 Fiscal Years
consisted primarily of the results of the Partnership's investment in fifteen
consolidated Local Partnerships. The majority of Local Partnership income
continued 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 year ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to 1999 primarily due to rental rate increases.
Total expenses, excluding repairs and maintenance, taxes and financial interest,
remained fairly consistent with a decrease of approximately 2% for the year
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to 1999.
Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $264,000 for the year ended
March 31, 2000 as compared to 1999 primarily due to interior painting and vinyl
floor replacement at one Local Partnership, tile, carpet and kitchen cabinet
replacement at a second Local Partnership and the hiring of a full time
landscaper along with increased security at a third Local Partnership.
Taxes increased approximately $81,000 for the year ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to 1999 primarily due to property tax exemptions received at one Local
Partnership in the year ended March 31, 1999.
Financial interest increased approximately $297,000 for the year ended March 31,
2000 as compared to 1999 primarily due to a prior period adjustment for
construction interest at one Local Partnership in the year ended March 31, 1999.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
- - ---------------------------------------------------
Clear Horizons Limited Partnership
- - ----------------------------------
At December 31, 2000, Clear Horizons Limited Partnership ("Clear Horizons")
current liabilities exceed its current assets by over $157,000. 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, 2000, is $145,402 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, 2000.
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.

(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, 2001
and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999 (the 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 fifteen (Fiscal 2000,
1999 and 1998) subsidiary partnerships whose losses aggregated $4,013,266,
$4,170,745 and $3,860,136 for the 2000, 1999 and 1998 Fiscal Years,
respectively, and whose assets constituted 97% and 96% of the Partnership's
assets at March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, 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 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, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and
1999, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the audit procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the Consolidated Audit
Guide for Audits of HUD Programs issued by the U. S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development, we have also issued a report dated February 12, 1999 on our
consideration of Clear Horizons Limited Partnership's internal control, and
reports dated February 12, 1999, on its compliance with laws and regulations,
compliance with specific requirements applicable to Affirmative Fair Housing,
and compliance with specific requirements applicable to major HUD-assisted
programs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
Neptune Venture, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Neptune Venture, L.P. (a New
Jersey limited partnership) as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related
statements of operations, changes in partners' equity and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's general partner and contracted management agent. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 the
Partnership's general partner and contracted management agent, 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 Neptune Venture, L.P. at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations, changes in
partners' equity and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
