Investment in Local Partnerships The Partnership owns limited partnership interests in fifty Local Partnerships representing capital contributions in the aggregate amount of $45,692,662. As of September 30, 1996, the Local Partnerships have outstanding mortgage loans payable totaling approximately $93,633,000 and accrued interest payable on such loans totaling approximately $3,809,000, which are secured by security interests and liens common to mortgage loans on the Local Partnerships' real property and other assets. For the nine months ended December 30, 1996, the investment in Local Partnerships activity consists of the following: Investment in Local Partnerships as of March 30, 1996 $ 23,417,447 Equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships for the three months ended March 31, 1996 $ (845,020) June 30, 1996 (737,316) September 30, 1996 (805,029) (2,387,365) (A) -------------- Cash distributions received from Local Partnerships during the nine months ended December 30, 1996 (26,602) --------------- Investment in Local Partnerships as of December 30, 1996 $ 21,003,480 ============ (A) Equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships is limited to the Partnership's investment balance in each Local Partnership; any excess is applied to other partners' capital in any such Local Partnership.

Additional Information Additional information, including the audited March 30, 1996 Financial Statements and the Organization, Purpose and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, is included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 1996 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. AMERICAN TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES II L.P. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Material Changes in Financial Condition As of December 30, 1996, Registrant has not experienced a significant change in financial condition as compared to March 30, 1996. Principal changes in assets are comprised of periodic transactions and adjustments and anticipated equity in loss from operations of the Local Partnerships. During the nine months ended December 30, 1996, Registrant received cash from interest earnings and distributions from Local Partnerships and utilized cash for operating expenses. During the nine months ended December 30, 1996, Registrant recorded a net unrealized loss on bonds available-for-sale of approximately $8,000, resulting in a net unrealized loss of approximately $16,000 reflected in Registrant's partners' equity (deficit) as of December 30, 1996. In addition, during the nine months ended December 30, 1996, Registrant recorded amortization of net premium on investments in bonds of approximately $39,000, which was partially offset by accretion of zero coupon bonds of approximately $29,000. In addition, during the nine months ended December 30, 1996, Registrant received $200,000 from the maturity of investments in bonds held for working capital purposes. During the nine months ended December 30, 1996, the investment in Local Partnerships decreased as a result of Registrant's equity in the Local Partnerships' net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $2,387,365 and cash distributions received from Local Partnerships of $26,602. The Properties are principally comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The rents of the Properties, many of which receive rental subsidy payments, including payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 ("Section 8"), are subject to specific laws, regulations and agreements with federal and state agencies. The subsidy agreements expire at various times during and after the Compliance Periods of the Local Partnerships. Registrant cannot reasonably predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget negotiations, the outcome of which could result in a reduction in funds available for the various federal and state administered housing programs including the Section 8 program. Such changes could adversely affect the future net operating income and debt structure of any or all Local Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy or similar subsidies. Three Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts, which cover certain rental units, are scheduled to expire in 1997 after being extended for one year. In addition, the Local Partnerships have various financing structures which include (i) required debt service payments ("Mandatory Debt Service") and (ii) debt service payments which are payable only from available cash flow subject to the terms and conditions of the notes, which may be subject to specific laws, regulations and agreements with appropriate federal and state agencies ("Non-Mandatory Debt Service or Interest"). During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, revenue from operations, Local General Partner advances and reserves of the Local Partnerships have generally been sufficient to cover the operating expenses and Mandatory Debt Service. Substantially all of the Local Partnerships are effectively operating at or near break even levels, although certain Local Partnerships' accounting information reflects operating deficits that do not represent cash deficits due to their mortgage and financing structure and the required deferral of property management fees. However, as discussed below, certain Local Partnerships' operating information indicates below break even operations after taking into account their mortgage and financing structure and the required deferral of property management fees. The terms of the partnership agreements of Christian Street Associates Limited Partnership (the "Christian Street Local Partnership") and 2000-2100 Christian Street Associates (the "2000 Christian Street Local Partnership"), which Local Partnerships have certain common general partner interests and a common first mortgage lender, require the Local General Partners to advance funds to cover operating deficits up to $182,500 (through March, 1996) and $130,000 (through December, 1996), respectively, and to cause the management agent to defer property management fees in order to avoid a default under the respective mortgages. The properties have experienced ongoing operating deficits and as of September 30, 1996, the Local General Partners have advanced approximately $305,000 to the Christian Street Local Partnership and approximately $232,000 to the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership. Pending an attempt to address a potential loan restructuring of the respective mortgages with the lender, the Local General Partners have informed Registrant that they do not intend to continue to voluntarily fund the operating deficits of the properties. As of February 12, 1997, the Christian Street Local Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership are two months in arrears under AMERICAN TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES II L.P. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) their first mortgage obligations and although the lender has not declared a default of either mortgage, it is expected that a default would be declared if the Local General Partners are not successful in addressing a new financing structure with the lender. The Christian Street Local Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership incurred operating deficits for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of approximately $33,000 and $35,000, respectively (exclusive of property management fees of approximately $18,000 and $14,000, respectively). Of Registrant's total annual Low-income Tax Credits, approximately 5.52% and 3.02% are allocated from the Christian Street Local Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership, respectively. The first mortgage of Ann Ell Apartments Associates, Ltd. (the "Ann Ell Local Partnership") is in default due to insufficient deposits to the replacement reserve. The lender has alleged certain other incidents of default including, among other things, the inadequate funding of real estate tax and insurance escrows and the failure to procure certain minimum insurance coverage. The Local General Partner of the Ann Ell Local Partnership reports that the Ann Ell Local Partnership incurred costs for capital improvements and unscheduled maintenance which were in excess of the replacement reserve funding requirement and further reports that the other incidents have been wrongly alleged and has requested a meeting with the lender to discuss the resolution of this matter. Littleton Avenue Community Village, L.P. (the "Littleton Local Partnership") is a defendant in a lawsuit resulting from an accident in 1989 during the construction of the complex owned by the Littleton Local Partnership. In November, 1995 the Littleton Local Partnership and one co-defendant were found liable in the lawsuit, of which the Littleton Local Partnership's potential liability is approximately $300,000. The Littleton Local Partnership has filed a lawsuit against the construction period insurance companies, which were not co-defendants in the lawsuit, and has appealed the adverse result of the trial. Although the incident is expected to be covered by insurance, the Local General Partner of the Littleton Local Partnership has agreed to indemnify the Littleton Local Partnership in the event of any adverse outcome and has established an escrow of approximately $325,000 from development proceeds in the event the Littleton Local Partnership is unsuccessful in its appeal. Results of Operations Registrant's operating results are dependent upon the operating results of the Local Partnerships and are significantly impacted by the Local Partnerships' policies. In addition, the operating results herein are not necessarily the same for tax reporting. Registrant accounts for its investment in Local Partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-1, "Accounting for Tax Benefits Resulting from Investments in Affordable Housing Projects." Under the equity method of accounting and in accordance with EITF Issue No. 94-1, the investment is carried at cost which includes capital contributions payable, and is adjusted for Registrant's share of the Local Partnership's results of operations and by any cash distributions received. Equity in loss of each investment in Local Partnership allocated to Registrant is recognized to the extent of Registrant's investment balance in each Local Partnership. Any equity in loss in excess of Registrant's investment balance in a Local Partnership is allocated to other partners' capital in each such Local Partnership. As a result, the equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships is expected to decrease as Registrant's investment balances in the respective Local Partnerships become zero. Cumulative losses and cash distributions in excess of investment in Local Partnerships may result from a variety of circumstances, including a Local Partnership's accounting policies, subsidy structure, debt structure and operating deficits, among other things. Accordingly, cumulative losses and cash distributions in excess of the investment are not necessarily indicative of adverse operating results of a Local Partnership. See discussion above under Material Changes in Financial Condition regarding certain Local Partnerships currently operating below economic break even levels. AMERICAN TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES II L.P. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Three Months Ended December 30, 1996 For the three months ended December 30, 1996, Registrant had a net loss of approximately $892,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships of approximately $805,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Nonrecognition of losses in excess of Registrant's investment in certain Local Partnerships during the period was approximately $82,000. Registrant's loss from operations for the three months ended December 30, 1996 of approximately $87,000 was attributable to interest revenue of approximately $87,000, exceeded by operating expenses of approximately $174,000. Interest revenue for future periods is expected to decline as investments in bonds mature and are utilized for Registrant's operating expenses. The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $994,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was attributable to rental and other revenue of approximately $5,105,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses (including Non-Mandatory Interest) of approximately $4,696,000 and approximately $1,403,000 of depreciation and amortization expenses. Three Months Ended December 30, 1995 For the three months ended December 30, 1995, Registrant had a net loss of approximately $905,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships of approximately $824,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995. Nonrecognition of losses in excess of Registrant's investment in certain Local Partnerships during the period was approximately $93,000.
