The aggregate sales price of the units of limited partnership interest held by
non-affiliates of the Registrant is $19,280,000. There is currently no public
market for the units of limited partnership interest and, accordingly, such
figure does not represent the market value for the units.

The Prospectus of the Registrant, dated May 13, 1988 and filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(iii) under the Securities Act of 1933, is incorporated by reference into
Parts I, II and III of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
PART I
Item 1. Business
General Development of Business
Registrant (also referred to as the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
which was formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on
October 15, 1987. The general partner of the Partnership is Wilder Richman
Historic Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "General Partner" or "WRHC").
Registrant was organized to acquire all of the limited partnership
interests in Dixon Mill Associates I (Phase One), Limited Partnership, Dixon
Mill Associates II (Phase Two), Limited Partnership, and Dixon Mill Associates
III (Phase Three), Limited Partnership, each of which is a New Jersey limited
partnership (individually "Dixon Mill I," "Dixon Mill II" and "Dixon Mill III,"
respectively, and collectively the "Operating Partnerships"). Each Operating
Partnership owns one phase ("Phase") of an aggregate 433-unit residential
apartment complex (the "Complex") located in Jersey City, New Jersey, that
consists of buildings designated as certified historic structures by the U.S.
Department of the Interior. The Operating Partnerships have constructed,
substantially rehabilitated and are operating the Complex. The rehabilitation of
the Complex qualified for a rehabilitation tax credit in 1988, 1989 and 1990.
The general partner of the Operating Partnerships is Dixon Venture Corp. (the
"Operating General Partner"), which is not an affiliate of the Partnership or
WRHC.
Pursuant to the Partnership's prospectus dated May 13, 1988, (the
"Prospectus"), the Partnership offered $19,280,000 of units of limited
partnership interest in the Partnership (the "Units") at an offering price of
$24,100 per Unit. The Units were registered under the Securities Act of 1933
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 33-19646).
The Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference.
The closing of the offering of Units (the "Offering") occurred on July 15,
1988. At such closing, 800 Units were sold, representing $19,280,000 in gross
proceeds. After payment of $674,800 of organization and offering expenses,
$674,800 in an origination fee and $1,349,600 of selling commissions, the net
proceeds available for investment were $16,580,800. Of such net proceeds,
$16,388,000 was allocated to the investment in the Operating Partnerships, which
included investments in guaranteed investments contracts. The remainder of
$192,800 was designated as working capital to be used for operating expenses of
the Partnership.
Financial Information About Industry Segments
Registrant is engaged solely in the business of owning a limited
partnership interest in each of the Operating Partnerships. A presentation of
information regarding industry segments is not applicable and would not be
material to an understanding of the Partnership's business taken as a whole. See
Item 8 below for a summary of Registrant's operations.
Working Capital Reserves
As of February 28, 1998, Registrant had working capital reserves of
approximately $649,000 inclusive of funds previously restricted for the purpose
of providing operating deficit loans to the Operating Partnerships (in order to
avoid default under their mortgages pursuant to their modified mortgage
documents) which were substantially invested in interest-bearing deposits. See
Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."
Competition
Information regarding competition, general risks, tax risks and partnership
risks is set forth under the heading "RISK FACTORS" at pages 37 - 57
of the Prospectus.
Compliance with Environmental Protection Provisions
2
In connection with the environmental cleanup responsibilities pertaining to
the Complex, the Operating General Partner submitted a declaration to the State
of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP") stating that
there remains no hazardous substances and wastes on the site. In August 1989,
the Operating General Partner received notification from NJDEP that the
environmental testing was complete and the Complex was in compliance with NJDEP
requirements. All costs incurred in connection with the review conducted by
NJDEP were borne by The Dixon Venture, an affiliate of the Operating General
Partner. Information regarding such environmental matters is set forth under the
heading "DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPLEX - ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS" at pages 87 - 92
of the Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Employees of Registrant
Registrant employs no personnel and incurs no payroll costs. An affiliate
of the General Partner employs individuals who perform accounting, secretarial,
transfer and other services on behalf of Registrant as are necessary in the
ordinary course of business. Such individuals also perform similar services for
other affiliates of the General Partner.
Tax Reform Act of 1986, Revenue Act of 1987, Technical and Miscellaneous
Revenue Act of 1988, Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, Tax Extension Act of 1991, Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, Uruguay Round Agreements Act and
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (collectively the "Tax Acts")
Registrant is organized as a limited partnership and is a pass through tax
entity which does not, itself, pay Federal income tax. However, the partners of
Registrant who are subject to Federal income tax may be affected by the Tax
Acts. Registrant will consider the effect of certain aspects of the Tax Acts on
the partners when making decisions regarding its investment. Registrant does not
anticipate that the Tax Acts will currently have a material adverse impact on
Registrant's business operations, capital resources and plans or liquidity.
Item 2. Properties
The Complex consists of approximately 34 historic mill buildings built
between 1847 and 1932, all of which are certified historic structures that have
been converted and substantially rehabilitated into a 433 unit luxury apartment
complex that has received financing exempt from Federal income taxation under
Internal Revenue Code Section 103(b)(4)(A). As a consequence of this tax exempt
financing, the Operating Partnerships are required to rent at least 15% of the
dwelling units ("D.U.'s") in the Complex to individuals or families of low or
moderate income as determined under such Code Section, currently based on their
income not exceeding 80% of the median income for the area as determined by the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). These income
limits are subject to increases pursuant to HUD guidelines. In the Complex, 68
studio and efficiency D.U.'s and 17 one-bedroom D.U.'s are set aside for rental
to low or moderate income persons. There are no rent ceilings on those D.U.'s
set aside for low or moderate income persons. Because such tax exempt financing
consists of bonds sold in 1985, the 80% of median income limit is not required
to be adjusted based on family size as would be required under the Tax Reform
Act of 1986.
The Complex is located on a 4-acre site in Jersey City, New Jersey. In
addition, one new five-story building, approximately 20 feet by 50 feet, was
built on the site. The Complex is located in the Dixon Crucible Redevelopment
Area, an area so designated pursuant to a redevelopment plan adopted in
September 1983 by ordinance of the City of Jersey City. The actual development
entails three Phases with each Phase owned by a separate New Jersey limited
partnership, respectively Dixon Mill I, Dixon Mill II and Dixon Mill III. Phase
I consists of seven industrial buildings which have been rehabilitated to
provide 134 D.U.'s, 55 underground and 77 surface parking spaces and
approximately 1,550 square feet of commercial space. Phase II consists of 11
industrial buildings which have been rehabilitated to provide 191 D.U.'s and 62
underground and 124 surface parking spaces. Phase III consists of four
industrial buildings which have been rehabilitated to provide 108 D.U.'s, 35
underground and 73 surface parking spaces and approximately 2,230 square feet of
commercial space.
The Complex features gardens, elevated walkways and brick paved walkways.
The Complex also has its own electronic security system and a free shuttle
service to the Grove Street PATH station is being provided. In addition, the
residents of the Complex have access to a private fitness facility. The
Complex's commercial space is designated for retail stores and/or professional
offices.
3
As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the occupancy and rental rates were as
follows:
December 31, 1997 December 31, 1996
Occupancy Rate 99% 99%
Monthly Rental Rates:
Studio $ 578 - $ 935 $ 512 - $ 895
One-Bedroom $ 666 - $ 1450 $ 525 - $1,437
Two-Bedroom $ 808 - $1,695 $ 600 - $1,595
Three-Bedroom $ 1,695 - $2,195 $1,489 - $2,095
The rental rates reflect significant ranges because the apartments vary as to
size and floor plans (i.e., square footage, duplex, triplex, penthouse) and due
to the low-moderate tenant income restrictions for 15% to 20% of the D.U.'s
resulting from the tax-exempt financing described above.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
As of February 28, 1998, there were no material pending legal proceedings to
which Registrant or any of its affiliates was a party or to which any of their
property was subject except for the following:
A complaint has been filed in Federal Court by a former employee of the
Operating Partnerships claiming sexual harassment. The Operating General Partner
cannot measure the potential liability, if any, at this time.
The Operating Partnerships have been named as a third-party defendant in a
lawsuit between The Dixon Venture, the party who sold the Complex to the
Operating Partnerships, and the former owner, Joseph Dixon Crucible Company, for
indemnification for cost clean-up under the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980. The Operating General Partner believes
that the Operating Partnerships have no liability or no liability that is not
adequately covered by an indemnification from The Dixon Venture.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There were no matters submitted to a vote of the limited partners of
Registrant during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Unit Matters
a) Market
There is no developed public market for the purchase and sale of Units and
Registrant does not anticipate that such a market will develop.
b) Holders
As of February 28, 1998, there were approximately 766 record holders of Units
holding an aggregate of 800 Units in the Partnership.
c) Distributions
The Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Registrant provides that cash
available for distribution, if any, be distributed annually to the partners in
specified proportions. As a result of the mortgage modification on June 11,
1992, certain cash flow restrictions have been placed on the Operating
Partnerships. See Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and Notes 3 and 5 to the Dixon Mills
Financial Statements included herein.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The operating results of the Complex for 1997 were favorable compared to
1996. During 1992, the mortgages of the Operating Partnerships were modified
pursuant to agreements among Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA" or
the "Lender"), Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. ("Chase") and the Operating General
Partner. The Partnership obtained the consent of the limited partners to utilize
the proceeds from the final distribution from the guaranteed investment
contracts to assist in modifying the mortgages. As a result of the mortgage
modification, the interest rate under the mortgages decreased from approximately
9.6% to approximately 6.74%, thereby improving the financial viability of the
Complex. Recently, there has been ongoing new construction of luxury
multi-family housing in the vicinity of the Complex. Such housing includes
asking rents that are comparable and substantially higher than rents currently
charged by the Complex. It has not been determined whether such new housing will
have a positive or negative impact on the Complex or its cash flow in the
future.
5
In connection with the mortgage modification, Chase and the Partnership
each advanced $277,500 to the Operating Partnerships to pay for certain costs of
the mortgage modification. In addition, in the event of future operating
deficits, Chase and the Partnership each provided a letter of credit and cash of
approximately $622,500 (the "Operating Deficit Escrows"), for the purpose of
providing FNMA the ability to make pro-rata draws for debt service payments and
other operating expenses to the extent cash flow of the Operating Partnerships
was insufficient to make the required payments under the modified mortgages. The
release of the Operating Deficit Escrow was based upon the later of (i) the date
on which the Operating Partnerships satisfy the Lender as to the 110% debt
service coverage ratio requirements on the mortgages or (ii) January 1, 1996 (to
coincide with the expiration of Federal income tax recapture of the
rehabilitation credits). During 1995, the Operating General Partner submitted to
the Lender the operating statement of the Complex for 1994, reflecting that the
1994 operations satisfied the 110% debt service coverage ratio requirement. Such
submission was reviewed by the Lender and was approved in June 1995 and the
letters of credit were released by the Lender in January 1996.
Chase and the Partnership each originally provided advances of $317,713 as
of December 31, 1995, with aggregate interest of approximately $126,000 accrued
thereon by the Operating Partnerships. However, the Operating General Partner
entered into an agreement with Chase on July 5, 1995 whereby Chase agreed to
release the Operating Partnerships from substantially all of the outstanding
liabilities owed to Chase in connection with outstanding advances and accrued
interest thereon (discussed above) in return for the release of its outstanding
letter of credit in January 1996. Accordingly, the Operating Partnerships
recorded a forgiveness of the outstanding debt and accrued interest as of
December 31, 1995 in the aggregate of $370,201 in connection with the Chase note
and reflected such forgiveness as an extraordinary gain in the statement of
operations for the year then ended. As of February 28, 1998, the Partnership has
accrued interest receivable of $119,260 in connection with the advances
provided.
Because of the outstanding advance owed to the Partnership, the Operating
Partnerships are subject to restrictions concerning cash flow distributions and
the payment of certain fees to affiliates. Cash flow, if any, generated
subsequent to 1995 may be retained by the Operating Partnerships or may be
distributed at the discretion of management. Any such cash flow distributions
are subject to repaying the outstanding advance owed to the Partnership plus the
interest accrued thereon. Thereafter, cash flow may be distributed pursuant to
the terms of the limited partnership agreements of the Operating Partnerships.
To the extent there are proceeds from a future sale or refinancing of the
Complex, the Partnership will receive 100% of any such proceeds available for
distribution until the 7% cumulative preferred distribution has been achieved.
Through December 1997, the cumulative preferred distribution is approximately
$9,450,000. Although recent rental market conditions have been strong,
management has been building up its cash balance (approximately $1,160,000 as of
December 31, 1997) to protect against potential adverse changes in market
conditions and unanticipated expenses. Accordingly, the Partnership does not
anticipate making significant cash flow distributions in the near future and
cannot determine the extent of cash flow distributions over the long term. As of
December 31, 1997, the Operating Partnerships' balance in the replacement
reserves account, which is controlled by the Lender to be used for certain
repairs or capital improvements, was approximately $662,000.
As of December 31, 1997, the Operating Partnerships' liquidity is improved
compared to December 31, 1996, with cash and cash equivalents having increased
by approximately $597,000 and the replacement reserve having increased by
approximately $144,000. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by
approximately $19,000 and amounts due to related parties, which balance is
approximately $1,840,000 as of December 31, 1997, increased by approximately
$180,000 due to the accrual of management fees and investor service fees.
Cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership as of February 28, 1998
includes approximately $582,000 which was released from the Operating Deficit
Escrow. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the released Operating Deficit
Escrow of the Partnership may be held or utilized for other Partnership purposes
in the discretion of the General Partner. Presently, the General Partner intends
for the Partnership to hold such funds. During the year ended February 28, 1998,
the Partnership's investment in Operating Partnerships decreased by $358,875 as
a result of the equity in loss of investment in Operating Partnerships.
The annual investor service fees are payable from the operating results of
the Operating Partnerships and from reserves. As of February 28, 1998, due to
affiliates includes $140,000 of accrued investor service fees, which includes
the Partnership's expense for the last six fiscal periods and $50,000 otherwise
payable from the final distribution of the guaranteed investment contracts in
January 1992.
6
Results of Operations
The Partnership's operating results are dependent upon the operating
results of the Operating Partnerships and are significantly impacted by the
policies of the Operating Partnerships. Registrant accounts for its investment
in Operating Partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting,
the investment is carried at cost and is adjusted for Registrant's share of the
Operating Partnerships' results of operations and by any cash distributions
received. Equity in loss of each investment in Operating Partnership allocated
to Registrant is recognized to the extent of Registrant's investment balance in
each Operating Partnership. Any equity in loss in excess of Registrant's
investment balance in an Operating Partnership is allocated to other partners'
capital in each such Operating Partnership. As a result, the equity in loss of
investment in Operating Partnerships is expected to decrease as Registrant's
investment balances in the respective Operating Partnerships become zero.
Cumulative losses and cash distributions in excess of investment in
Operating Partnerships may result from a variety of circumstances, including the
Operating Partnerships' accounting policies, 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 the Operating Partnerships.
Year Ended February 28, 1998
During the year ended February 28, 1998, the Partnership earned interest of
approximately $55,000 including approximately $21,000 of accrued interest on
advances provided to the Operating Partnerships discussed above. During the year
ended February 28, 1998, interest earnings increased compared to the previous
fiscal period due to the increase in average cash balances. The Partnership's
operating expenses (which include accrued investor service fees of $15,000) were
comparable to the year ended February 28, 1997. The operating expenses of the
Partnership are not expected to vary significantly in the near future.
Registrant's equity in loss in Operating Partnerships does not include a 99%
allocation of the loss reported by the Operating Partnerships due to the
nonrecognition of losses in excess of Registrant's investment in Dixon Mills I
of approximately $129,000, in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
The Operating Partnerships reported a net loss from operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997 in the amount of approximately $493,000, inclusive of
depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,360,000. However, the
Operating Partnerships generated cash flow after required debt service payments
and required replacement reserve deposits of approximately $645,000 during 1997,
which considers principal amortization under the mortgages (approximately
$238,000) and net deposits to required escrows (approximately $132,000), and
excludes accrued fees to affiliates of the Operating General Partner and the
General Partner (approximately $175,000) and accrued interest to the Partnership
(approximately $21,000). Occupancy remained consistently high throughout 1997,
while management has steadily increased rental rates, resulting in an
improvement in operating results compared to 1996.
The Operating Partnerships did not utilize any replacement reserves during
1997. Although the results of operations have steadily improved, management
continues to examine methods to maintain healthy occupancy rates while steadily
increasing rental rates and to closely monitor its operating costs. As of
December 31, 1997, the occupancy rate was approximately 99%. Although operations
have significantly improved since the mortgage modification in June 1992, the
future operating results of the Complex will be extremely dependent on market
conditions (which have been very strong but include newly developed multi-family
housing in the area) and the regional economy, and therefore may be subject to
significant volatility.
Year Ended February 28, 1997
During the year ended February 28, 1997, the Partnership earned interest of
approximately $51,000 including $21,000 of accrued interest on advances provided
to the Operating Partnerships discussed above. During the year ended February
28, 1997, interest earnings increased compared to the previous fiscal period due
to the average increase of short-term interest rates. The Partnership's
operating expenses (which include accrued investor service fees of $15,000) were
comparable to the year ended February 29, 1996. The operating expenses of the
Partnership are not expected to vary significantly in the near future.
Registrant's equity in loss in Operating Partnerships does not include a 99%
allocation of the loss reported by the Operating Partnerships due to the
nonrecognition of losses in excess of Registrant's investment in Dixon Mills I
of approximately $47,000, in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
The Operating Partnerships reported a net loss from operations for the year
ended December 31, 1996 in the amount of approximately $855,000, inclusive of
depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,363,000. However, the
Operating Partnerships generated cash flow after required debt service payments
and required replacement reserve deposits of approximately $285,000 during 1996,
which considers principal amortization under the mortgages (approximately
$223,000) and net deposits to required escrows (approximately $200,000), and
excludes accrued fees to affiliates of the Operating General Partner and the
General Partner (approximately $179,000) and accrued interest to the Partnership
(approximately $21,000). Occupancy remained high throughout 1996, resulting in
an improvement in operating results compared to 1995. The Operating Partnerships
did not utilize any replacement reserves during 1996. As of December 31, 1996,
the occupancy rate was approximately 98%.
Year Ended February 29, 1996
During the year ended February 29, 1996, the Partnership earned interest of
approximately $43,000 on restricted funds (discussed above), reserves and
advances provided to the Operating Partnerships. During the year ended February
29, 1996, interest earnings slightly increased compared to the previous fiscal
period due to the average increase of short-term interest rates and a change in
interest rates on the restricted deposits. The Partnership's operating expenses
(which include accrued investor service fees of $15,000) were comparable to the
year ended February 28, 1995.
The Operating Partnerships reported a net loss from operations for the year
ended December 31, 1995 in the amount of approximately $1,123,000, inclusive of
depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,363,000 and exclusive of the
extraordinary gain recorded in connection with the forgiveness of the note
payable to Chase discussed above. However, the Operating Partnerships generated
cash flow after required debt service payments and required replacement reserve
deposits of approximately $63,000 during 1995, which considers principal
amortization under the mortgages (approximately $208,000) and net deposits to
required escrows (approximately $154,000) and excludes accrued fees to
affiliates of the Operating General Partner and the General Partner
(approximately $164,000) and accrued interest to Chase and the Partnership
(approximately $21,000). The occupancy fluctuated during 1995 while operating
expenses increased (primarily from increases in real estate taxes and insurance
and planned improvements which were not funded from replacement reserves),
resulting in a decline in operating results compared to 1994. The Operating
Partnerships did not utilize any Operating Deficit Escrows or replacement
reserves during 1995. As of December 31, 1995, the occupancy rate was
approximately 99%.

Inflation is not expected to have a material adverse impact on Registrant's
revenues during its period of equity ownership in the Operating Partnerships.

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 generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

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 Wilder Richman Historic

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income taxes
No provisions have been made for federal, state and local income taxes, as
they are the personal responsibility of the partners.

recorded at cost which approximates fair value.
Fiscal year

Use of estimates

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 from those estimates.

$300,000 to assist in covering costs associated with such modification and
(ii) a letter of credit to Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"),

Wilder Richman Historic Properties II, LP
Greenwich, Connecticut
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Dixon Mills
Associates as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of
operations, partners' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnerships' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Dixon Mills Associates, as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations, changes in
partners' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DIXON MILLS ASSOCIATES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
1. COMBINATION AND ORGANIZATION
The combined financial statements include the accounts of Dixon Mill
Associates I (Phase One), Limited Partnership ("DM I"), Dixon Mill
Associates II, (Phase Two), Limited Partnership ("DM II") and Dixon Mill
Associates III, (Phase Three), Limited Partnership ("DM III") after
elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.
Description of the business
The partnerships are one of three limited partnerships collectively known as
"Dixon Mills Associates" or the "Operating Partnerships", each of which owns
one phase of an aggregate 433 units of residential apartments located in
Jersey City, New Jersey, that consist of buildings that are designated as
"certified historic structures" by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The
Operating Partnerships have constructed, rehabilitated, and own and operate
the complex. In accordance with the tax exempt financing of the complex, the
Operating Partnerships are required to rent 15% to 20% of the apartment
units to individuals of low or moderate income.
On July 15, 1988, the Operating Partnerships transferred their 99% limited
partnership interests to Wilder Richman Historic Properties II, L.P. (the
"Limited Partner") in connection with that limited partnership's public
offering. The remaining 1% interest remained with the Operating General Partner,
Dixon Venture Corp. ("DVC")
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial statements
The financial statements of the Operating Partnerships are prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting and include only those assets, liabilities and
results of operations related to the business of the Operating Partnerships.
Combined financial statements are presented as the companies are under
common control, ownership, and management.
Land and buildings
Land and buildings are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value,
("NRV"). NRV is the net cash flow necessary to recover costs exclusive of
debt service. Depreciation on buildings is computed on the straight-line
method. The depreciable lives assigned is 40 years for the real property.
Effective for the year ended December 31, 1996 the Partnership adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of." This standard requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable.

DIXON MILLS ASSOCIATES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income taxes
No provisions have been made for federal, state and local income taxes, as
they are the responsibility of the partners.
The partners of the Operating Partnerships were entitled to a 25% historic
rehabilitation tax credit on eligible costs as a reduction of their tax
liabilities. In addition, the tax basis of the property has been reduced by
one-half of the historic rehabilitation tax credit for income tax purposes
only.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Operating Partnerships
consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are
recorded at cost which approximates fair value.
Deferred costs
Deferred costs represent costs incurred in connection with the mortgages
(Note 5) and are being amortized over the term of the mortgages using the
straight line method.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 from those estimates.
3. PARTNERS' EQUITY
In accordance with the Partnership agreement, income and losses are to be
allocated 1% and 99% to the general partner and the Limited Partner,
respectively.
Any equity in loss in excess of the Limited Partner's investment balance in
an operating partnership is allocated to the General Partner.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
3. PARTNERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
Distributions
The partnership agreements of the Operating Partnerships provide that cash
flow from operations will be distributed 99% to the Limited Partner and 1%
to the Operating General Partner until the Limited Partner has received a 7%
preferred return (the "Preference Amount") on their initial capital
contributions. The balance, if any, would be distributed 75% to the Limited
Partner and 25% to the Operating General Partner. Any cumulative shortfall
not recovered out of subsequent cash flow distributions will be payable from
sale or refinancing proceeds, to the extent available. The cumulative
preferred amount due to the Limited Partner at December 31, 1997 is
$9,449,891. Distributions of annual net cash flow are subject to the
provisions of the note payable (Note 6). There is no assurance that all or a
portion of such amount will be paid, and no amount has been accrued.
Net cash proceeds resulting from a sale or refinancing, to the extent
available (after the discharge of debts and obligations of the Partnership,
including outstanding loans from partners or affiliates), will be
distributed generally as follows:
- 99% to the Limited Partner and 1% to the Operating General Partner,
until the Limited Partner has received an amount equal to its adjusted
contributions.
- 99% to the Limited Partner and 1% to the Operating General Partner,
until the Limited Partner has received an amount equal to the accrued
cumulative Preference Amount.
- The balance of adjusted capital contributions of the General Partner.
- The balance, if any, 75% to the Limited Partners and 25% to the
Operating General Partner.

WRMC received payments of $35,004 and $35,005 in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. In addition, property management fees of $84,894, $84,488 and

The Operating Partnerships incurred investor service fees of $45,000 to
Richman Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of the Limited Partner in 1997,
1996 and 1995.
5. MORTGAGES PAYABLE
On June 11, 1992, the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency provided mortgage
financing for the Operating Partnerships through the issuance of tax-exempt
Bonds (the "Bonds") guaranteed and secured by the Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA") mortgage pass-through certificate ("FNMA Certificate").
The FNMA Certificate in turn was secured by mortgages in the amount of
$27,545,000 (collectively, the "Mortgages") and letters of credit of
$4,260,000 (the "Letters of Credit") issued by Chase Manhattan Bank
("Chase"). The Letters of Credit were secured by an additional mortgage in
the same amount and the personal guarantees of certain principals of DVC.
The Mortgages provided that the Letters of Credit would remain until the
Operating Partnerships meet certain debt service ratio tests as defined in
the Mortgages (the "Debt Service Test"). The Debt Service Test was met and
the letters of credit were released in June, 1995.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
5. MORTGAGES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
The interest rate on the Mortgages is 6.74% with a monthly payment of
$170,978.
Principal amortization is based on a thirty-five year payment period. The
Mortgages are scheduled to mature as follows:
1998 $ 254,748
1999 262,586
2000 290,713
2001 310,924
2002 332,540
Thereafter 25,325,383
-----------
$26,776,894
The Mortgages are due for payment on May 1, 2000. If the underlying bonds
are not remarketed and the Trustee acquires the bonds on behalf of FNMA, the
mortgage rate becomes 8.675% per annum and the Mortgages are extended until
May 1, 2010.
The Mortgages require monthly payments to a replacement reserve
("Replacement Reserve") account as follows:
June 1996 - May 1997 $16,667
June 1997 - May 2012 5,400
The Replacement Reserve (included in mortgage escrow deposits) shall be used
exclusively to pay for certain repairs or replacements, subject to the
approval of FNMA. The balance in this account was $662,134 and $518,233 at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
6. NOTE PAYABLE AND FOREGIVENESS OF DEBT
Chase Manhattan Bank
Chase advanced $277,500 to the Operating Partnerships for costs associated
with the Mortgages, bearing interest at 6.50% with a maturity of May 1,
2000. Payments of principal and interest could not commence sooner than
January 1, 1996 depending on, among other things, cash flow generated by the
Operating Partnerships. In addition, Chase provided FNMA with cash and
letter of credit in the amount of $622,500 (the "Chase Operating Deficit
Escrows") to provide assistance in the event the Operating Partnerships
experience future operating deficits. Any amounts drawn on the Chase
Operating Deficit Escrows also bore interest of 6.50%.
F-26
DIXON MILLS ASSOCIATES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
6. NOTE PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
In addition by an agreement with Chase dated July 5, 1995, to the extent
that the $600,000 letter of credit issued to FNMA was released, the Chase
note and any accrued and unpaid interest would be forgiven. In January 1996,
pursuant to the Operating Deficit Escrow Agreement, FNMA released the Chase
letter of credit. As a result of the full release of the Chase Operating
Deficit Escrow, the note payable of $317,714 and accrued interest of $52,487
was written down to zero and is reflected as a forgiveness of debt in the
accompanying statement of operations for 1995.
Limited Partner
The Limited Partner also advanced $277,500 in connection with the Mortgages
which bear interest at 6.50%. Payments of principal and interest could
commence no sooner than January 1, 1996 depending on, among other things,
cash flow generated by the Operating Partnerships. The principal balance and
unpaid interest become due upon a sale or refinancing of the property. In
addition, the Limited Partner provided FNMA with a letter of credit and cash
in the amount of $622,500 (the "Limited Partner Operating Deficit Escrow")
to provide assistance in the event the Operating Partnerships experience
future operating deficits. Pursuant to the Operating Deficit Escrow
Agreement, FNMA released the letter of credit in January 1996. Any amount
drawn on the Limited Partner Operating Deficit Escrow bears interest at
6.50%. To the extent the Operating Partnerships make distributions of net
cash flow, all such net cash flow with respect to the applicable
distribution periods must be paid to the Limited Partner until the amounts
outstanding to the Limited Partner are satisfied.
Total advances provided by the Limited Partner as of December 31, 1997
amount to $317,713 and accrued interest of approximately $114,000 and
$94,000 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This note is secured
by the personal guarantees of certain principals of DVC to the extent such
amounts were advanced before February 1, 1994.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
A complaint has been filed in Federal Court by a former employee of the
Operating Partnerships claiming sexual harassment. The Company has moved to
dismiss the common law claims asserted in the complaint and intends to
vigorously defend the charges. The Operating General Partner and counsel
cannot measure the potential liability, if any, at this time.
