Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Partnership Organization
 
Gulledge Realty Investors II, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized on December 1, 1983 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia for the purpose of acquiring limited partner interests in real estate limited partnerships ("Project Partnerships"). At June 30, 2003, these Project Partnerships included Colony Place Associates, Ltd. ("Colony"), Country Oaks Apartments Limited Partnership ("Country Oaks") and Hawthorn Housing Limited Partnership ("Hawthorn"). The Project Partnerships previously included Olympic Housing Limited Partnership ("Olympic") which was sold in April 2003, Pine West, Ltd., ("Pine West") and Rancho Vista Associates ("Rancho Vista"), which limited partner interests were sold in 2001, and Florence Housing Associates ("Florence"), which assets were sold in 2000. Each of the remaining Project Partnerships is an operating real estate project which receives mortgage interest subsidies and/or rental assistance from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Deve lopment ("HUD") or Farmer's Home Administration. The Registrant commenced operations in March 1984. GULL-AGE Properties, Inc. ("GAP") is the general partner of the Partnership.

The Partnership owns 100% of the limited partner interests in the Project Partnerships, which represents 99.0%, 94.9% and 99.0% of the total ownership interests in Colony, Country Oaks and Hawthorn, respectively. GULL-AGE Realty Advisors, Inc., ("GARA") an entity related to GAP, is the General Partner or the agent for the General Partner or Special General Partner of Colony, Hawthorn and Country Oaks. GARA owns or controls through its agency agreement .10%, .01% and .10% of Colony, Hawthorn and Country Oaks, respectively. The remaining partnership interests of the Project Partnerships are owned by unrelated individuals or entities.

The Partnership is in the process of selling the remaining Project Partnerships in order to liquidate its assets and dissolve. Though the Partnership's investment in these Project Partnerships is zero, the impact on future operations could be significant as distributions from Project Partnerships is the primary source of revenue for the Partnership. Proceeds, if any, from the sale of the Project Partnerships will be used to pay Partnership liabilities. The Partnership does not anticipate the sales to generate sufficient proceeds to make a distribution to partners. The sale of the assets will cause capital gains to be passed through to its partners as a result of negative tax bases in each of the investments from the accumulation of previous years losses. The partners will also realize ordinary income to the extent liabilities are not satisfied by sales proceeds.

The financial statements include only those assets, liabilities, and results of operations which relate to the business of the Partnership and do not include any assets, liabilities, or operating results attributable to the partners' individual activities.

Financial Statements

The financial statements of Gulledge Realty Investors II, L.P. are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been reflected. All such adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals unless otherwise disclosed in these interim financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2003. Where appropriate, prior periods' financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers interest bearing money market account balances to be cash equivalents.

Investments in Project Partnerships

The investment in Project Partnerships is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments are reflected at cost, adjusted for the Partnership's share of the Project Partnerships' income or loss. The Partnership is under no obligation to contribute additional capital, or to lend monies necessary to fund cash flow deficiencies of the Project Partnerships, because the Partnership is a limited partner in such partnerships. The investment account for a Project Partnership will not be reduced below zero because the Partnership is not liable for Project Partnership losses in excess of such investment. Any distributions received from the Project Partnerships subsequent to reducing the investment account to zero, will be recognized as income in the year received.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated.

Income Taxes

No provision has been made for current or deferred income taxes since they are the responsibility of each partner. Profits (or gains) and losses of the Partnership are allocated to the partners in accordance with the partnership agreement.

Segment Reporting

The Partnership's principal line of business is investing in Project Partnerships that own and operate low-income housing Projects that are financed and/or operated under federal or state housing assistance programs. Management believes that the Partnership operates in one business segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 was issued to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Partnership adopted the provisions of FIN 46 that apply to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, or variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The adoption of these provisions did not require the partnership to consolidate any information related to variable interest entities. Although the Partnership has not fin alized its analysis of the provisions of FIN 46 that apply to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, the Partnership does not believe it will be required to consolidate any information related to variable interest entities it acquired prior to that date.

Note B   
 
Investments in Project Partnerships
 

In April 2003, the Partnership sold the assets of Olympic. As part of the terms of the sale, the purchaser assumed the primary mortgage on Olympic and all of the operating liabilities. A reduced payoff was negotiated on a secondary note which was collateralized by the Partnership's ownership interest in Olympic. The Partnership did not receive a distribution from the sale as all proceeds were used to pay expenses related to the sale. As a result of the sale, partners of the Partnership will realize tax consequences including capital gains and ordinary income to the extent of the reduced payoff on the secondary note.

In the second quarter of 2003, the Partnership entered into an agreement, subject to regulatory approval, with a third-party purchaser to sell the assets of Hawthorn. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser will assume the primary mortgage and all of the operating liabilities of Hawthorn. The Partnership has also, as part of the agreement, negotiated a reduced payoff of the note payable and accrued interest, which is collateralized by the Partnership's interest in Hawthorn. Proceeds from the sale will be used to pay expenses of the sale, the note payable and accrued interest, and any remaining proceeds will be used to pay other liabilities of the Partnership. The Partnership does not anticipate the sale to generate sufficient proceeds to make a distribution to its partners. The Partnership is expecting the sale to close in 2003, but due to the necessity of HUD approval, the timing and ultimate close cannot be determined with certainty.

The Partnership is under negotiations with third-parties to sell Colony and Country Oaks. The ability to sell the Partnership's assets, i.e. the Project Partnerships, is limited by the overall market conditions in the geographic areas where the Projects operate and, potentially, the ability of the Projects to qualify for Low Income Housing Tax Credits. For Colony, for which the Partnership's ownership interest is pledged as collateral in connection with a promissory note, the Partnership must also consider the outstanding balance of the note and may have to negotiate a reduced payoff on the note.



Note C   
 
Note Payable and Accrued Interest Payable
 

The promissory note is collateralized by the Partnership's interest in Hawthorn. Principal and interest are only payable from surplus cash received by the Partnership from Hawthorn. The Partnership is not required to make any payments from surplus cash it receives from other projects. The promissory note plus accrued interest bear simple interest at a rate of 11%. The note bore simple interest at a rate of 9% until the note became due on June 30, 2002, at which time, the interest rate increased to 11%. The note is currently in default and as a result, the Partnership's ownership interest in Hawthorn may revert to the noteholder.

The noteholder has not notified the Partnership of a demand for payment or a claim on the collateral. Under the terms of the promissory note, the Partnership pays an annual consulting fee of $19,000 to GAP and $25,000 to the noteholder. The consulting fees are only payable out of distributions from Hawthorn.

The Partnership's ownership interest in Colony is pledged as collateral in connection with a promissory note issued by Colony. The Colony promissory note was due June 30, 1997 and had been extended to November 30, 1999, while the General Partner attempted to locate a buyer. A buyer was not located before November 30, 1999. This note is currently in default. Therefore, the Colony noteholder may demand payment and Colony may revert to its noteholder. The Colony noteholder has not notified the Partnership of a demand for payment or a claim on the collateral.

Notwithstanding the balances owed on the defaulted notes, none of the Project Partnerships are experiencing significant operating cash flow deficiencies.




 
 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002


 

Gulledge Realty Investors II, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership formed to acquire limited partner interests in real estate limited partnerships (Project Partnerships). Part of the original objective of the Partnership was to generate tax losses for investors. However, due to changes in the tax regulations, there are restrictions on the use of these losses. The Partnership is in the process of selling the remaining Project Partnerships in order to liquidate its assets and dissolve. The Partnership's investments in the Project Partnerships are recorded using the equity method of accounting (see Note A to Financial Statements).

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2003, was $149,035, compared to net income of $268,764 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in net income was mainly due to a decrease in distributions from zero-basis project partnerships and an increase in interest expense. The decrease in distributions from zero-basis Project Partnerships was lower due to the timing of the receipt of the distribution from Hawthorn, which was received in the first quarter of the current fiscal year and in the second quarter of the previous year. The increase in interest expense was due to a two percent increase in the interest rate on the note payable beginning on July 1, 2002.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was $49,031, compared to net income of $158,510 for the same period a year ago. Revenues of $237,485 in 2003 compared to $409,923 in 2002 were lower due to decreases in distributions from zero-basis Project Partnerships and miscellaneous income. Expenses increased to $286,516 compared to $251,413 in 2002 mainly due to an increase in interest expense.

Distributions from zero-basis Project Partnerships were lower due to a $166,178 decrease in distributions from Hawthorn, partially offset by a $3,940 increase in distributions from Country Oaks. Distributions from Hawthorn were lower mainly due to an increase in vacancies at the project. The decrease in miscellaneous income was the result of a prospective buyer for Colony terminating the sale contract and forfeiting a deposit to the Partnership during 2002. The increase in interest expense on the note payable was a result of a two percent increase in the interest rate beginning on July 1, 2002.

In April 2003, the Partnership sold the assets of Olympic and as part of the terms of the sale, the purchaser assumed the primary mortgage and all of the operating liabilities. A reduced payoff was negotiated on a secondary note which was collateralized by the Partnership's ownership interest in Olympic. The Partnership did not receive a distribution from the sale as all proceeds were used to pay expenses related to the sale.

The Partnership is liable for a promissory note that bears simple interest at a rate of 11 percent and is collateralized by the Partnership's ownership interest in Hawthorn. Principal and interest payable totaled $3,748,034 at June 30, 2003. Principal and interest are only payable from distributions received from Hawthorn. The Partnership is not required to use distributions from other Project Partnerships to make payments on this promissory note. The promissory note and accrued interest was due on June 30, 2002 and is currently in default. As a result, the Partnership's ownership interest in Hawthorn may revert to the noteholder (see Note C to Financial Statements). The noteholder has not notified the Partnership of a demand for payment or a claim on the collateral.

In the second quarter of 2003, the Partnership entered into an agreement, subject to regulatory approval, with a third-party purchaser to sell the assets of Hawthorn. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser will assume the primary mortgage and all of the operating liabilities of Hawthorn. The Partnership, as part of the agreement, negotiated a reduced payoff of the note payable and accrued interest, which is collateralized by the Partnership's interest in Hawthorn. Proceeds from the sale will be used to pay expenses of the sale and liabilities of the Partnership, including the note payable and accrued interest. The Partnership does not anticipate the sale to generate sufficient proceeds to make a distribution to its partners. The Partnership is expecting the sale to close in 2003, but due to the necessity of HUD approval, the timing and ultimate close cannot be determined with certainty.

The Partnership's ownership interest in Colony is pledged as collateral in connection with a promissory note issued by Colony.

The Colony promissory note was due June 30, 1997 and had been extended to November 30, 1999, while the General Partner attempted to locate a buyer. A buyer was not located before November 30, 1999. This note is currently in default. Therefore, the Colony noteholder may demand payment and Colony may revert to its noteholder. The Colony noteholder has not notified the Partnership of a demand for payment or a claim on the collateral.

PART I-FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Item 3.
 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 

No material changes have occurred related to the Partnership's policies, procedures, controls or risk profile.


Item 4.
 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Partnership evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its "disclosure controls and procedures" (Disclosure Controls). This evaluation (the Controls Evaluation) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the President of the General Partner of the Partnership ("President") and the Vice President of the General Partner of the Partnership ("Vice President").

Disclosure Controls are procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (the SEC) rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and the Vice President, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that (1) transactions are properly authorized; (2) assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Partnership's management, including the President and the Vice President, does not expect that the Disclosure Controls or other internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Partnership have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with its policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

The evaluation of the Partnership’s Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls' objectives and design, the Partnership's implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. In the course of the Controls Evaluation, management sought to identify data errors, controls problems or acts of fraud and confirm that appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the President and the Vice President, concerning controls effectiveness can be reported in the Partnership’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Partnership’s internal controls are also evaluated by the independent auditors who evaluate them in connection with determining their auditing procedures related to their report on the annual financial statements and not to provide assurance on internal controls. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor Disclosure Controls and internal controls, and to modify them as necessary. The Partnership intends to maintain the Disclosure Controls and the internal controls as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.

From the date of the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Based upon the Controls Evaluation, the President and the Vice President have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, the Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that material information relating to Gulledge Realty Investors II, L.P. is made known to management, including the President and the Vice President, particularly during the period when the periodic reports are being prepared, and that the internal controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
