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”). The ultimate parent of the General Partner is Centerline Holding Company (“Centerline”).
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”, “subsidiaries” or “subsidiary partnership”) owning apartment complexes (“Apartment Complexes” or “Properties”) that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit (“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”). The Partnership’s investment in each Local Partnership represents 98.99% of the partnership interests in the Local Partnership. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in five Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interests in seven Local Partnerships. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has entered into an agreement to sell its limited partnership interests in one Local Partnership. Subsequently, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in one other Local Partnership. As of March 31, 2011, approximately $47,000,000 (not including acquisition fees of approximately $3,502,000) of the net proceeds of the Offering had been invested in the fifteen Local Partnerships originally acquired by the Partnership, of which approximately $135,000 remains to be paid (including approximately $6,000 being held in escrow) to the Local Partnerships, as certain benchmarks such as occupancy levels must be attained prior to the release of such funds. See Item 2. Properties below.
Investment Objectives/Government Incentives
The Partnership was formed to invest in Apartment Complexes that are eligible for the 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 during the 15-year period commencing at the beginning of the Credit Period (“Compliance Period”). At December 31, 2008, Mansion Court Associates was required to recapture $190,635 of low-income housing tax credits. All the Local Partnerships have completed their Credit Periods. 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 Periods will continue through December 31, 2012 with respect to the Properties depending upon when the Compliance Period commenced.
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 the Property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using the discounted cash flow valuation method). During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership recorded approximately $1,047,000 as an aggregate loss on impairment of assets or reduction to estimated fair value. Through March 31, 2011, the Partnership has recorded approximately $29,131,000 as an aggregate loss on impairment of assets or reduction to estimated fair value.
While the value of the remaining Tax Credits are a factor in calculating fair value, the expiration of the Credit Period, in and of itself, has not been the only factor in determining whether there is an impairment and generally does not have any adverse impact on the fair value of the Local Partnerships.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will achieve its investment objectives as described above, and it is unlikely that the Partnership will meet objectives 2 and 3, also as noted above.
- 2 -
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 25% 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 the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) to make rental assistance payments. HUD also restricts annual cash distributions to partners based on operating results and a percentage of the owner’s equity contribution. The Partnership cannot sell or substantially liquidate its investments in subsidiary partnerships during the period that the subsidy agreements are in existence without HUD’s approval. Furthermore, there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents when the rental assistance contracts expire.
Sale of Local Partnership Interests
The Partnership is in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in five Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interests in seven Local Partnerships. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has entered into an agreement to sell its limited partnership interests in one Local Partnership. Subsequently, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in one Local Partnership. There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments. All gains and losses on sales are included in discontinued operations.
On March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Brynview Terrace, L.P. (“Brynview”) to the Local General Partner for a sales price of $2. The Partnership did not receive any cash from this sale and paid other liabilities of $5,000 in relation to the sale. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1,024,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $1,029,000 and the $5,000 cost incurred relating to the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2011.
On March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Colden Oaks Limited Partnership (“Colden Oaks”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $2. The Partnership did not receive any cash from this sale and paid other liabilities of $5,000 in relation to the sale. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $5,061,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $5,066,000 and the $5,000 cost incurred relating to the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2011. In addition, the sale resulted in a noncash contribution to the Local Partnership from the General Partner of approximately $85,000 as a result of the write-off of fees owed by the Local Partnership to an affiliate of the General Partner.
On February 9, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in P&P Home for the Elderly, L.P. (“P&P”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $50,000. The Partnership received $79,363 (including a distribution from sale of $49,363) after the payment of other liabilities of approximately $20,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $6,288,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $6,208,000 and the $79,363 cash received from the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2011.
On February 9, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Martha Bryant Manor, L.P. (“Martha Bryant”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $15,000. The Partnership did not receive any cash from this sale and paid other liabilities of $15,000 in relation to the sale. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $6,158,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of the same amount at the date of sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2011.
On July 30, 2010, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Derby Run Associates (“Derby Run”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $1,045,822. The Partnership received $1,043,717 after the repayment of other liabilities of approximately $2,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1,777,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $733,000 and the $1,043,717 net cash received from the sale, which was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. An adjustment to the gain of approximately ($56,000) was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, resulting in an overall gain of approximately $1,721,000.
On March 31, 2010, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Tasker Village Associates (“Tasker”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $20,000. The Partnership did not receive any cash from this sale after the repayment of other liabilities of $20,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,361,000, resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of the same amount at the date of the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2010. Adjustments to the gain of approximately $39,000 and ($7,000) were recorded during the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively, resulting in an overall gain of approximately $2,400,000. In addition, the sale resulted in a non-cash contribution to the Local Partnership from (i) the General Partner of approximately $28,000 as a result of the write-off of fees owed by the Local Partnership to an affiliate of the General Partner; and (ii) the Local General Partners of approximately $99,000 as a result of the write-off of fees owed by the Local Partnership to the Local General Partner.
On December 31, 2009, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Creative Choice Homes VI, Ltd. (“CCH VI”) to the Local General Partner for a sales price of $177,500. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $57,000, resulting from the write-off of the basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $120,000 at the date of the sale and the $177,500 cash received from the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2010. In addition, the sale resulted in a non-cash contribution to the Local Partnership from the Local General Partner of approximately $1,191,000 as a result of the write-off of fees owed by the Local Partnership to the Local General Partner.
Assets Held for Sale
On August 23, 2010, the Partnership entered into an assignment and assumption agreement to sell its limited partnership interest in NLEDC, L.P. (“Paradise Arms”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $15,000. During the year ended March 31, 2010, in accordance with ASC 360, the Partnership deemed the building impaired and wrote it down to its fair value, which resulted in a loss on impairment of $1,769,000. As of December 31, 2010, Paradise Arms had property and equipment, at cost, of approximately $4,708,000, accumulated depreciation of approximately $3,023,000 and mortgage debt of approximately $4,140,000. The sale is expected to be consummated during the second quarter of 2011.

Segments
The Partnership operates in one segment, which is the investment in multi-family residential property. Financial information about this segment is set forth in Item 8 hereto.
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 1A. Risk Factors.
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 Apartment Complexes; difficulties in obtaining government approval for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of income which low and moderate-income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make the rental assistance payments it has contracted to make; and that when the rental assistance contracts expire, there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents in a Local Partnership’s Apartment Complex.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not applicable.
- 4 -
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership is subject to the risks incidental to potential losses arising from the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership can also be affected by poor economic conditions. The Partnership had originally acquired interests in fifteen Local Partnerships, all of which have been, or were, consolidated for accounting purposes. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in five Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interests in seven Local Partnerships. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has entered into an agreement to sell its limited partnership interests in one other Local Partnership. There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. The Partnership’s investment in each Local Partnership represents 98.99% of the partnership interests in the Local Partnership. 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 Schedule III to the financial statements which are included herein.

All leases are generally for periods not exceeding one to two years and no tenant occupies more than 10% of the total rentable square footage in any single Apartment Complex.
- 5 -
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 Apartment Complexes in development stage, 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”). As of March 31, 2011, the gross amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregated approximately $5,670,000, of which $4,840,000 had expired. Management does not expect that expiration to have a material impact on liquidity, based on prior years’ fundings. Amounts funded under such agreements are treated as noninterest bearing loans, which will be paid only out of 50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds.
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 that was not available in the first year was made 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 were 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 were not available to the Partnership.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
As of March 31, 2011, 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 25, 2011, the Partnership has approximately 3,420 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, 2011. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to its BACs holders other than from net refinancing or sales proceeds.
Transfer Procedures
The Partnership from time to time receives requests by unit holders and others to transfer BACs and/or limited partnership interests. Such requests may occur in connection with tender offers for the Partnership’s units. Such requests implicate the Partnership’s policies and procedures concerning transfers generally and tender offers in particular, which were adopted by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of its Partnership Agreement, to ensure compliance with applicable law, avoid adverse tax consequences for the Partnership and its investors, and preserve the Partnership’s advantageous tax status.
The Partnership relies on a 2% safe harbor established by an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulation to avoid being characterized as a “publicly-traded partnership” that is taxed as a corporation.
A brief summary of certain of the Partnership’s key policies, practices and requirements with respect to transfers and tender offers is as follows:
|
·
|
No transfer (whether for substitution, assignment or otherwise) is effective or binding on the Partnership unless and until it is approved by the General Partner.
|
|
·
|
No transfer will be approved unless the transferor and transferee submit complete and properly executed forms of the Partnership’s own transfer documentation. The Partnership does not accept forms of transfer documentation other than its own and does not accept signatures made by power of attorney in lieu of original signatures by each of the transferors and transferees.
|
|
·
|
The Partnership will not approve transfers that in the cumulative aggregate for any tax year exceed the IRS 2% safe harbor, unless a financially responsible person provides the Partnership and its partners with (i) an indemnity (in form and substance in all ways acceptable to the General Partner) for all liability (including, without limitation, any adverse tax consequences) arising from or relating to exceeding the 2% safe harbor and (ii) a legal opinion (in form and substance in all ways acceptable to the General Partner) that there will be no adverse tax consequences to the Partnership and its partners from exceeding the 2% safe harbor.
|
|
·
|
In order to avoid the undesirable situation of one or more tender offers consuming the entire safe harbor limitation early in the tax year and leaving the Partnership’s remaining investors with no liquidity opportunity for the rest of that tax year, the Partnership restricts the cumulative aggregate total of transfers made pursuant to all tender offers to 1.5% of its outstanding units in each tax year, unless a financially responsible person conducting such tender offer provides the Partnership with an acceptable indemnity and legal opinion of the type described above. At the end of each tax year, the General Partner, in its discretion, may allow the cumulative total number of transfers (including those by tender offer) to reach the 2% safe harbor limit.
|
|
·
|
The Partnership requires that all tender offers for its units be conducted in accordance with all applicable law including, without limitation, the federal securities laws.
|
The foregoing is solely a summary of the Partnership’s policies, requirements and practices with respect to transfers and tender offers. More complete information, including a copy of the Partnership’s transfer documentation package, may be obtained from the Partnership.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership had originally invested approximately $47,000,000 (not including acquisition fees of approximately $3,502,000) of the net proceeds of its Offering in fifteen Local Partnerships of which approximately $135,000 remains to be paid (including approximately $6,000 being held in escrow) as certain benchmarks, such as occupancy level, must be attained prior to the release of the funds. The Partnership does not intend to acquire additional Properties. During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership did not make any advances to the Local Partnerships. Although the Partnership will not be acquiring additional Properties, the Partnership may be required to fund potential purchase price adjustments based on tax credit adjustor clauses.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in five Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interests in seven Local Partnerships. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has entered into an agreement to sell its limited partnership interests in one Local Partnership. Subsequently, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in one Local Partnership. The Partnership is in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments, but there can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments. All gains and losses on sales are included in discontinued operations.
Short-term
During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership’s primary sources of funds included: (i) working capital reserves; (ii) interest earned on the working capital reserves; (iii) cash distributions from operations of the Local Partnerships; and (iv) sales proceeds and distributions. Such funds are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs holders in circumstances other than refinancing or sales. Cash distributions received from the Local Partnerships, as well as the working capital reserves referred to above, will be used towards the future operating expenses of the Partnership. During the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the amounts received from operations of the Local Partnerships were approximately $120,000 and $249,000, respectively. Additionally, during the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership received approximately $1,113,000 and $178,000, respectively, in proceeds from the sale of Local Partnerships’ limited partnership interests. The Partnership does not anticipate being able to make distributions sufficient to return to BACs holders their original capital contributions.
For the year ended March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership and its consolidated Local Partnerships decreased approximately $108,000. This decrease was due to net cash used in operating activities ($103,000), purchase of property and equipment ($424,000), principal payments of mortgage notes ($636,000), a decrease in capitalization of consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($245,000) and cost paid relating to sale of properties ($47,000) which exceeded proceeds from sale of properties ($1,160,000), a net increase in due to local general partners and affiliates relating to financing activities ($156,000) and a decrease in cash held in escrow relating to investing activities ($30,000). Included in the adjustment to reconcile the net income to cash used in operating activities is depreciation and amortization of approximately $(2,094,000), gain on sale of properties of approximately ($20,284,000) and loss on impairment of assets of approximately $(1,047,000).
Total expenses for the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest, general and administrative – related parties and loss on impairment of fixed assets, totaled $5,955,071 and $5,499,632, respectively.
Accounts payable as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $723,100 and $781,692, respectively. Accounts payable are short term liabilities which are expected to be paid from operating cash flows, working capital balances at the Local Partnership level, Local General Partner advances and in certain circumstances advances from the Partnership. Accounts payable from discontinued operations totaled $16,308 and $0 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Accrued interest as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $16,805,364 and $23,334,820, respectively. Such amount represents the accrued interest on all mortgage loans, which include primary and secondary loans. Certain secondary loans have provisions such that interest is accrued but not payable until a future date. Accrued interest payable from discontinued operations totaled $1,425,013 and $0 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Partnership anticipates the payment of accrued interest on the secondary loans (which make up the majority of the accrued interest payable amount and which have been accumulating since the Partnership’s investment in the respective Local Partnership) will be made from future refinancings or sales proceeds of the respective Local Partnerships. In addition, each Local Partnership’s mortgage notes are collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Local Partnership, and are without further recourse to the Partnership.
Because the provisions of the secondary loans defer the payment of accrued interest of the respective Local Partnerships, and the General Partner continues to defer the payment of fees as discussed below and in Note 8 to the Financial Statements in Item 8, the Partnership (and the applicable Local Partnerships) believes it has sufficient liquidity and ability to generate cash and to meet existing and known or reasonably likely future cash requirements over both the short and long term.
The Partnership has an unconsolidated working capital reserve of approximately $721,000 at March 31, 2011.
Long-Term
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to approximately $4,930,000 and $5,877,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and are included in Due to general partner and affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended March 31, 2011, management deemed the unpaid partnership management fees related to sold properties uncollectible and wrote off approximately $967,000 resulting in a non-cash General Partner contribution of the same amount. Unpaid partnership management fees for any year are deferred without interest and will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all Partnership liabilities have been made other than to those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates, and after the Limited Partners have received a 10% return on their capital contributions.
- 8 -
All other amounts included in Due to general partner and affiliates are expected to be paid, if at all, from working capital reserves. See Note 8 in Item 8 for further discussion of amounts Due to the general partner and affiliates. The General Partner does not anticipate making any future advances of operating funds to any of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. Even if a situation arose where the General Partner and its affiliates needed to but were not able to make operating advances in the future due to lack of funds, the only impact on the Partnership would be that it would lose its investment in that particular Local Partnership. The Partnership’s ability to continue its operations would not be affected.
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 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 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 had originally invested the proceeds of its Offering in 15 Local Partnerships, all of which had their Tax Credits fully in place during the Credit Periods. As of December 31, 2007, all the Local Partnerships had completed their Credit Periods. 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 Periods will continue through December 31, 2012 with respect to the Properties depending upon when the Compliance Period commenced. At December 31, 2008, Mansion Court Associates was required to recapture $190,635 of low-income housing tax credits.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of certain accounting estimates considered critical by the Partnership. The summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of the Partnership’s accounting policies included in Item 8, 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, 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 ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the Property on an undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time, Property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash flows) when the Property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership recorded approximately $1,047,000 as an aggregate loss on impairment of assets or reduction to estimated fair value. Through March 31, 2011, the Partnership has recorded approximately $29,131,000 as an aggregate loss on impairment of property.
Revenue Recognition
Rental income is earned primarily under standard residential operating leases and is typically due the first day of each month, but can vary by Property due to the terms of the tenant leases. Rental income is recognized when earned and charged to tenants’ accounts receivable if not received by the due date. Rental payments received in advance of the due date are deferred until earned. Rental subsidies are recognized as rental income during the month in which it is earned.
Other revenues are recorded when earned and consist of the following items: Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and cash held in escrow balances, income from forfeited security deposits, late charges, laundry and vending income and other rental related items (see Note 2e, Item 8).
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued under Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. The amendments in this ASU result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend for amendments in this ASU to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard will not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (the 2010 and 2009 Fiscal Years, respectively) excluding the results of its discontinued operations which are not reflected in the following discussion (see Item 8, Note 14).
The net income (loss) for the 2010 and 2009 Fiscal Years totaled $14,984,321 and $(22,153,776), 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. Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years were recognized in the 11th through 13th years. As of December 31, 2007, Credit Periods had expired for all properties.
2010 vs. 2009
Rental income increased approximately 3% for the 2010 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2009 Fiscal Year, primarily due to an increase in rental subsidy income at two Local Partnerships and rental increases at several other Local Partnerships.
- 10 -
The Partnership recorded a loss on impairments of approximately $1,047,000 and $21,750,000 during 2010 and 2009 Fiscal Years, respectively (see Note 4, Item 8).
Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $298,000 for the 2010 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2009 Fiscal Year, primarily due to an increase in painting and boiler costs at one Local Partnership, an increase in exterminating costs, security contracts, repair materials and decorating costs at a second Local Partnership, an increase in flooring, carpet turnover and water heaters at a third Local Partnership and overall increased repairs at a fourth Local Partnership, offset by decreases in repair and maintenance contracts, decorating and other repairs at a fifth Local Partnership and decreases in elevator maintenance at a sixth Local Partnership.
Operating decreased approximately $119,000 for the 2010 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2009 Fiscal Year, primarily due to a decrease in gas bulk purchases due to more favorable rates, water expense and electricity costs at one Local Partnership.
Real estate taxes increased approximately $125,000 for the 2010 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2009 Fiscal Year, primarily due to an increase in the tax assessment of one Local Partnership.
Depreciation and amortization decreased approximately $485,000 for the 2010 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2009 Fiscal Year, primarily due to the reduction in carrying amounts relating to impairment of assets recorded during the year ended March 31, 2010 at six Local Partnerships.
Results of Operations of Certain Local Partnerships
Mansion Court Associates (“Mansion Court”)
The financial statements for Mansion Court have been prepared assuming that Mansion Court will continue as a going concern. Mansion Court had losses of $369,996 (including loss on impairment of $301,015) and $79,533 for the 2010 and 2009 Fiscal Years, respectively. Mansion Court has sustained operating losses over the years and has not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to meet its obligations. The Local General Partner has provided funding in the past years; however there is no obligation to do so. The property also has experienced a high number of vacancies due to deteriorating conditions in the area. As of December 31, 2010, the property had 23 out of 30 vacant units. Vacancies continue to increase due to declining conditions in the surrounding neighborhood, and the expenditure of funds at this time to make improvements would not benefit the property. The Local General Partner continues to explore options to mitigate increased crime and deteriorating neighborhood conditions. These options include assistance from local government housing agencies and could include transfer of ownership.
The Partnership’s investment in Mansion Court at March 31, 2011 and 2010 was reduced to zero as a result of prior years’ losses, and the noncontrolling interest balance was $65,000 and $69,000 at each date, respectively. Mansion Court’s net loss after noncontrolling interest amounted to approximately $366,000 and $79,000 for the 2010 and 2009 Fiscal Years. The financial statements of Mansion Court do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, in accordance with ASC 360, the Partnership deemed the building of Mansion Court impaired and wrote it down to its estimated fair value of $0, which resulted in a loss on impairment of approximately $301,000. Fair value was obtained from an assessment made by the management after indications that the carrying value of the assets were not recoverable, evidenced by a history of net operating losses over the past few years as discussed above.
Subsequent to March 31, 2011, Mansion Court was sold (see Note 13g in Item 8).
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 Apartment Complexes; difficulties in obtaining government approval for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of income which low and moderate-income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility that Congress may not appropriate funds to enable HUD to make the rental assistance payments it has contracted to make; and that when the rental assistance contracts expire, there may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents in a Local Partnership’s Apartment Complex.
The Local Partnerships are impacted by inflation in several ways. Inflation 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 as, for example, for such items as fuel, utilities and labor.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Mortgage notes are payable in aggregate monthly installments including principal and interest at rates varying from 0% to 9.05% per annum. The Partnership does not believe there is a material risk associated with the various interest rates associated with the mortgage notes as the majority of the Local Partnership mortgage notes have fixed rates. The Partnership currently discloses in Item 8, Note 3 to the financial statements the fair value of the mortgage notes payable. The Partnership does not have any other market risk sensitive instruments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
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, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (the 2010 and 2009 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 fourteen (Fiscal 2010 and 2009) subsidiary partnerships whose losses aggregated $3,780,072 and $5,277,556 for the 2010 and 2009 Fiscal Years, respectively, and whose assets constituted 95% of the Partnership’s assets at March 31, 2011 and 2010, presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of thirteen (Fiscal 2010) and fourteen (Fiscal 2009) subsidiary partnerships were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these subsidiary partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors. The financial statements for one (Fiscal 2010) of these subsidiary partnerships is unaudited.
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, 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, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 13, the consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of one subsidiary partnership with significant uncertainties. The financial statements of this subsidiary partnership were prepared assuming that they will continue as a going concern. This subsidiary partnership’s net loss aggregated $369,996 (2010 Fiscal Year) and $79,533 (2009 Fiscal Year), and their assets aggregated $169,783 and $464,755 at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Management’s plan in regard to this matter is also described in Note 13. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lincoln Renaissance as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of profit and loss, changes in partners’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 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. The Partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Lincoln Renaissance as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations, the changes in partners’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 15, 2011, on our consideration of Lincoln Renaissance’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The 2010 supplemental information on pages 25 through 29 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.

Los Angeles, California
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NLEDC, L.P., a California Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. II
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011
NOTE 1 – General
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. II (a Delaware limited partnership) (the “Partnership”) was organized on February 11, 1992 and commenced its 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 general partner of the General Partner is Related Independence Associates Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“RIAI”). The ultimate parent of the General Partner is Centerline Holding Company (“Centerline”).
The Partnership’s business is primarily 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 may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit.
The Partnership had originally acquired interests in fifteen subsidiary partnerships. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in five Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interests in seven Local Partnerships. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has entered into an agreement to sell its limited partnership interests in one Local Partnership. Subsequently, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in one other Local Partnership. There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received.
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 Accounting
For financial reporting purposes the Partnership’s fiscal year ends on March 31. All subsidiaries have fiscal years ending December 31. Accounts of the subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1 through March 31. The Partnership’s fiscal year ends March 31 in order to allow adequate time for the subsidiaries’ financial statements to be prepared and consolidated. The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and fourteen (2010 Fiscal Year) and fifteen (2009 Fiscal Year) 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 partners of the subsidiary local partnerships (“Local General Partners”) 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.
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“ASC 810”), (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests amounted to approximately $(999,000) and $1,516,000 for the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Partnership’s investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective subsidiary’s partners’ equity less noncontrolling interest capital, if any.
c) 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.
d) 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 ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates that 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.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011
e) Revenue Recognition
Rental income is earned primarily under standard residential operating leases and is typically due the first day of each month, but can vary by property due to the terms of the tenant leases. Rental income is recognized when earned and charged to tenants’ accounts receivable if not received by the due date. Rental payments received in advance of the due date are deferred until earned. Rental subsidies are recognized as rental income during the month in which it is earned.
Other revenues are recorded when earned and consist of the following items: Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and cash held in escrow balances, income from forfeited security deposits, late charges, laundry and vending income and other rental related items.
Other revenues from operations include the following amounts at both the Partnership and Local Partnership level:

f) 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 (See Note 9).
The Partnership’s management have analyzed the Partnership’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded for positions taken on returns filed for open tax years. As of and during the year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits or related interest and penalties. Such related interest and penalties, if any, would be included in general and administrative expense.
The Partnership relies on, among other things, a 2% safe harbor established by an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulation to avoid being characterized as a “publicly-traded partnership” that is taxed as a corporation.
In the normal course of business the Partnership or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates where applicable. At March 31, 2011, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2007 forward.
g) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued under Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. The amendments in this ASU result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the Board does not intend for amendments in this ASU to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard will not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments (all of which are held for 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 Partnership adopted FASB ASC 820 – “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.
As permitted, we chose not to elect the fair value option as prescribed by ASC 825 – “Financial Instruments” – Including an Amendment of ASC 320 – “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, for our financial assets and liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value. Therefore, we did not elect to fair value any additional items under ASC 825.
The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. The following are financial instruments for which the Partnership’s estimate of fair value differs from the carrying amounts:

For the mortgage notes, fair value is calculated using present value cash flow models based on a discount rate. It was determined that the Tender Option Bond market, through which these bonds have been securitized in the past, continued to see a dramatic slowdown with limited liquidity and significantly reduced transaction levels. To assist in valuing these notes, the Partnership held separate discussions with various third party investment banks who are leaders in the municipal bond business. The discussions produced assumptions that were based on market conditions as well as the credit quality of the underlying property partnerships, which held the mortgage notes, to determine what discount rates to utilize.

Impairments
During the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership performed a fair value analysis on all of its remaining investments due to the current deteriorating market conditions in the real estate industry. Impairment of assets is a two-step process. First, management estimated amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the Property on an undiscounted basis. If such estimates were below depreciated cost, Property investments themselves were reduced to estimated fair value (generally using the discounted cash flow valuation method). Each Local Partnership must continue to comply with its Tax Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits. Therefore, a 5-year cash flow projection was used, as this period is indicative of the average holding period left of the remaining investments. A net operating income projection was prepared to calculate a residual value at the end of the 5-year period. Based on this analysis, the Partnership deemed the properties of the below Local Partnerships impaired and wrote them down to their estimated fair value which resulted in $1,047,336 and $21,749,607 of losses on impairment for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

NOTE 7 – Mortgage Notes Payable
The mortgage notes from operations are payable in aggregate monthly installments of approximately $55,000 including principal and interest at rates ranging from 0% to 8.75% per annum, through the year 2038. 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 $1,815,375 and $2,214,339 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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.
Derby Run Associate L.P.’s mortgage note payable in the original amount of $6,900,000 is serviced by Centerline (formerly PW Funding), an affiliate of the General Partner. The mortgage note balance was $0 and $6,382,102 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. On July 30, 2010, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest to an affiliate of the Local General Partner (see Note 10).

(a)
|
The General Partner is entitled to receive a partnership management fee, after payment of all Partnership expenses, which together with the annual local administrative fees will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of invested assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), for administering the affairs of the Partnership. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the partnership management fee will be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion based upon its review of the Partnership’s investments. Unpaid partnership management fees for any year will be accrued without interest and will be payable from working capital reserves or to the extent of available fund s after the Partnership has made distributions to the limited partners of sale or refinancing proceeds equal to their original capital contributions plus a 10% priority return thereon (to the extent not theretofore paid out of cash flow). Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to approximately $4,930,000 and $5,877,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in the line item Due to general partners and affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended March 31, 2011, management deemed the unpaid partnership management fees related to sold properties uncollectible and wrote off approximately $967,000, resulting in a noncash General Partner contribution of the same amount. Current year partnership management fees may be paid out of operating reserves or refinancing and sales proceeds. As such, the General Partner cannot demand payment of the deferred fees except as noted above.
|
|
(b)
|
The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and its affiliates for actual Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partner and its affiliates on the Partnership’s behalf. The amount of reimbursement from the Partnership is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Another affiliate of the General Partner performs asset monitoring for the Partnership. These services include site visits and evaluations of the subsidiary partnerships’ performance. Expense reimbursements and asset monitoring fees owed to the General Partner and its affiliates amounting to approximately $39,000 and $477,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The General Partner does not intend to demand payment of the deferred payables beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them. The Partnership anticipates that these will be paid from working capital reserves or future sales proceeds.
|
|
(c)
|
Independence SLP L.P., a special limited partner of the subsidiary partnerships, is entitled to receive a local administrative fee of up to $5,000 per year from each subsidiary partnership. Local administrative fee owed to Independence SLP L.P. amounting to approximately $241,000 and $381,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These fees have been deferred in certain cases and the Partnership anticipates that they will be paid from working capital reserves or future sales proceeds.
|
As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership owes $80,000 and $12,000, respectively, to the Special Limited Partner for the fees it received from a Local Partnership on its behalf.

No provision for income taxes related to the operations of the Partnership has been included in the accompanying financial statements because, as a partnership, it is not subject to federal or material state income taxes and the tax effect of its activities accrues to the BACs holders. Net income for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income reportable to BACs holders as a result of differences between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and the taxable income allocation requirements under its Partnership Agreement. In the event of an examination of the Partnership’s tax return, the tax liability of the partners could be changed if an adjustment in the Partnership’s income is ultimately sustained by the taxing authorities. At March 31, 2011, the tax basis net assets exceeded the financial statement net assets by approximately $11,938,000 due to depreciation differences, impairments and related party accruals.

MARCH 31, 2011
NOTE 10 – Sale of Properties
The Partnership is in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in five Local Partnerships. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interests in seven Local Partnerships. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has entered into an agreement to sell its limited partnership interests in one Local Partnership. Subsequently, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in one Local Partnership. There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received. However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments. All gains and losses on sales are included in discontinued operations.
On March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Brynview Terrace, L.P. (“Brynview”) to the Local General Partner for a sales price of $2. The Partnership did not receive any cash from this sale and paid other liabilities of $5,000 in relation to the sale. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1,024,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $1,029,000 and the $5,000 cost incurred relating to the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2011.
On March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Colden Oaks Limited Partnership (“Colden Oaks”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $2. The Partnership did not receive any cash from this sale and paid other liabilities of $5,000 in relation to the sale. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $5,061,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $5,066,000 and the $5,000 cost incurred relating to the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2011. In addition, the sale resulted in a noncash contribution to the Local Partnership from the General Partner of approximately $85,000 as a result of the write-off of fees owed by the Local Partnership to an affiliate of the General Partner.
On February 9, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in P&P Home for the Elderly, L.P. (“P&P”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $50,000. The Partnership received $79,363 (including a distribution from sale of $49,363) after the payment of other liabilities of approximately $20,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $6,288,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $6,208,000 and the $79,363 cash received from the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2011.
On February 9, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Martha Bryant Manor, L.P. (“Martha Bryant”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $15,000. The Partnership did not receive any cash from this sale and paid other liabilities of $15,000 in relation to the sale. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $6,158,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of the same amount at the date of sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2011.
On July 30, 2010, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Derby Run Associates (“Derby Run”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $1,045,822. The Partnership received $1,043,717 after the repayment of other liabilities of approximately $2,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1,777,000 resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $733,000 and the $1,043,717 net cash received from the sale, which was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. An adjustment to the gain of approximately ($56,000) was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, resulting in an overall gain of approximately $1,721,000.
On March 31, 2010, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Tasker Village Associates (“Tasker”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $20,000. The Partnership did not receive any cash from this sale after the repayment of other liabilities of $20,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,361,000, resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of the same amount at the date of the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2010. Adjustments to the gain of approximately $39,000 and ($7,000) were recorded during the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively, resulting in an overall gain of approximately $2,400,000. In addition, the sale resulted in a non-cash contribution to the Local Partnership from (i) the General Partner of approximately $28,000 as a result of the write-off of fees owed by the Local Partnership to an affiliate of the General Partner; and (ii) the Local General Partners of approximately $99,000 as a result of the write-off of fees owed by the Local Partnership to the Local General Partner.
On December 31, 2009, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Creative Choice Homes VI, Ltd. (“CCH VI”) to the Local General Partner for a sales price of $177,500. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $57,000, resulting from the write-off of the basis in the Local Partnership of approximately $120,000 at the date of the sale and the $177,500 cash received from the sale, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2010. In addition, the sale resulted in a non-cash contribution to the Local Partnership from the Local General Partner of approximately $1,191,000 as a result of the write-off of fees owed by the Local Partnership to the Local General Partner.
NOTE 11 – Assets Held for Sale

INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. II
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011
NOTE 13 – Commitments and Contingencies
a) Going Concern Consideration
At March 31, 2011, the Partnership’s liabilities exceeded assets by $27,415,490 and for the year then ended incurred net income of $15,984,571, including gain on sale of properties of $20,284,069 and loss on impairment of properties of $1,047,336. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8, partnership management fees of approximately $4,930,000 will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all other Partnership liabilities have been made and after the Limited Partners have received a 10% return on their capital contributions. As such, the General Partner cannot demand payment of these deferred fees beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them. In addition, where the Partnership has unpaid partnership management fees related to sold properties, such management fees are written off and recorded as capital contributions.
All of the mortgage payable balance of $24,383,711 and the accrued interest payable balance of $18,230,377 is of a nonrecourse nature and secured by the respective properties. The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose all of its investments. Historically, the mortgage notes and accrued interest thereon have been assumed by the buyer in instances of sales of the Partnership’s interest or have been paid off from sales proceeds in instances of sales of the property. In most instances when the Partnership’s interest was sold and liabilities were assumed, the Partnership recognized a gain from the sale. The Partnership owns the limited partner interest in all its investments, and as such has no financial responsibility to fund operating losses incurred by the Local Partnerships. The maximum loss the Partnership would incur is its net investment in the respective Local Partnerships. Dispositions of any investment in a Local Partnership should not impact the future results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition of The Partnership.
The Partnership has working capital reserves of approximately $721,000 at March 31, 2011. Such amount is considered sufficient to cover the Partnership’s day to day operating expenses, excluding fees to the General Partner, for at least the next year. The Partnership’s operating expenses, excluding the Local Partnerships’ expenses and related party expenses amounted to approximately $144,000 for the year ended March 31, 2011.
Management believes the above mitigating factors enable the Partnership to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
b) Subsidiary Partnerships – Going Concern and Uncertainties
Mansion Court Associates (“Mansion Court”)
The financial statements for Mansion Court have been prepared assuming that Mansion Court will continue as a going concern. Mansion Court had losses of $369,996 (including loss on impairment of $301,015) and $79,533 for the 2010 and 2009 Fiscal Years, respectively. Mansion Court has sustained operating losses over the years and has not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to meet its obligations. The Local General Partner has provided funding in the past years; however there is no obligation to do so. The property also has experienced a high number of vacancies due to deteriorating conditions in the area. As of December 31, 2010, the property had 23 out of 30 vacant units. Vacancies continue to increase due to declining conditions in the surrounding neighborhood, and the expenditure of funds at this time to make improvements would not benefit the property. The Local General Partner continues to explore options to mitigate increased crime and deteriorating neighborhood conditions. These options include assistance from local government housing agencies and could include transfer of ownership.
The Partnership’s investment in Mansion Court at March 31, 2011 and 2010 was reduced to zero as a result of prior years’ losses and the noncontrolling interest balance was $65,000 and $69,000, respectively. Mansion Court’s net loss after noncontrolling interest amounted to approximately $366,000 and $79,000 for the 2010 and 2009 Fiscal Years. The financial statements of Mansion Court do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, in accordance with ASC 360, the Partnership deemed the building of Mansion Court impaired and wrote it down to its estimated fair value of $0, which resulted in a loss on impairment of approximately $301,000. Fair value was obtained from an assessment made by the management after indications that the carrying value of the assets were not recoverable, evidenced by a history of net operating losses over the past few years as discussed above.
Subsequent to March 31, 2011, Mansion Court was sold (see Note 13g).
c) Uninsured Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various banks. The accounts at each bank are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At March 31, 2011, uninsured cash and cash equivalents approximated $818,000.
d) Cash Distributions
Cash distributions from the Local Partnerships to the Partnership are restricted by the provisions of the respective limited partnership agreements of the Local Partnerships and/or HUD. Such cash distributions are typically made from surplus cash flow.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011
e) Property Management Fees
Property and incentive management fees incurred by subsidiary partnerships amounted to $981,064 and $1,018,789 for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Of these fees $532,591 and $589,334 were earned by affiliates of the Local General Partners, which include $223,750 and $213,750 of incentive management fees at one Local Partnership and $47,061 and $121,652 of fees relating to discontinued operations.
f) 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 25% 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 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.
The Partnership and BACs holders began to recognize Tax Credits with respect to a property when the Credit Period for such Property (generally ten years from the date of investment or, if later, the date the Property is leased to qualified tenants) 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. Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years were recognized in the 11th through 13th years. As of December 31, 2007, all the Local Partnerships had completed their Credit Periods. 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 Periods will continue through December 31, 2012 with respect to the Properties depending upon when the Compliance Period commenced. At December 31, 2008, Mansion Court was required to recapture $190,635 of low-income housing tax credits.

Subsequent Events
|
We evaluated all subsequent events from the date of the balance sheet through June 27, 2011, which represents the issuance date of these financial statements. There were no events or transactions, other than the one described below, occurring during this subsequent event reporting period which require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
Mansion Court Associates (“Mansion Court”)
On May 11, 2011, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in Mansion Court Associates (“Mansion Court”) to an affiliate of the Local General Partner for a sales price of $1. The sale will result in a gain of approximately $1,509,000, resulting from the write-off of the deficit basis in the Local Partnership of the same amount at the date of the sale, which will be recognized on the Partnership’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2011.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Related Independence Associates, L.P., the general partner of the Partnership, have 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 officers have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). In evaluating the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, management has adopted the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Framework”). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner, the Partnership conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011. The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Partnership; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. However, because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on management’s evaluation under the COSO Framework, it has concluded that the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, was, as of March 31, 2011, (1) effective at the Partnership level, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (2) ineffective at the subsidiary level due to certain deficiencies noted in the audit reports for such subsidiaries. Management will attempt to cause the Local General Partner’s to remedy such deficiencies; however, the General Partner does not have control over the internal controls at the subsidiary level. Management believes they have sufficient controls at the Partnership level to mitigate these deficiencies, and such deficiencies do not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
(c) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. Except as noted in (b) above, during the year ended March 31, 2011, there were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
Not applicable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. II and Subsidiaries
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. II and Subsidiaries (A Delaware Limited Partnership) included in this Form 10-K as presented in our opinion dated June 27, 2011 on page 13, and based on the reports of other auditors, we have also audited supporting Schedule I for the 2010 and 2009 Fiscal Years and Schedule III at March 31, 2011. In our opinion, and based on the reports of the other auditors, these consolidated schedules present fairly, when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements, the financial data required to be set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 13, the consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of one subsidiary partnership with significant uncertainties. The financial statements of this subsidiary partnership were prepared assuming that they will continue as a going concern. This subsidiary partnership’s net loss aggregated $369,996 (2010 Fiscal Year) and $79,533 (2009 Fiscal Year), and their assets aggregated $169,783 and $464,755 at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Management’s plan in regard to this matter is also described in Note 13. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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.
