NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:
Gateway Tax Credit Fund II Ltd. ("Gateway"), a Florida Limited Partnership, was formed September 12, 1989, under the laws of Florida. Operations commenced on September 14, 1990 for Series 2, September 28, 1990 for Series 3, February 1, 1991 for Series 4, July 1, 1991 for Series 5 and January 1, 1992 for Series 6. Gateway has invested, as a limited partner, in other limited partnerships ("Project Partnerships") each of which owns and operates one or more apartment complexes expected to qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits. Gateway will terminate on December 31, 2040, or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement. As of September 30, 2004, Gateway had received capital contributions of $1,000 from the General Partners and $37,228,000 from Beneficial Assignee Certificate investors (the "Assignees"). The fiscal year of Gateway for reporting purposes ends on March 31.
Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, Gateway filed a Form S-11 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective September 12, 1989, which covered the offering (the "Public Offering") of Gateway's Beneficial Assignee Certificates ("BACs") representing assignments of units for the beneficial interest of the limited partnership interest of the Assignor Limited Partner. The Assignor Limited Partner was formed for the purpose of serving in that capacity for the Fund and will not engage in any other business.
Raymond James Partners, Inc. and Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc., are the General Partner and the Managing General Partner, respectively. The Managing General Partner manages and controls the business of Gateway.
Gateway offered BACs in five series. BACs in the amounts of $6,136,000, $5,456,000, $6,915,000, $8,616,000 and $10,105,000 for Series 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively had been issued as of September 30, 2004. Each Series is treated as a separate partnership, investing in a separate and distinct pool of Project Partnerships. Net proceeds from each Series are used to acquire Project Partnerships which are specifically allocated to such Series. Income or loss and all tax items from the Project Partnerships acquired by each Series are specifically allocated among the Assignees of such Series.
Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations and tax credits are allocated 99% to the Assignees and 1% to the General Partners. Profit or loss and cash distributions from sales of properties will be allocated as formulated in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Accounting
Gateway utilizes the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when obligations are incurred.
Gateway accounts for its investments as the sole limited partner in Project Partnerships ("Investments in Project Partnerships") using the equity method of accounting, because management believes that Gateway does not have a majority
control of the major operating and financial policies of the Project Partnerships in which it invests, and reports the equity in losses of the Project Partnerships on a 3-month lag in the Statements of Operations. Under the equity method, the Investments in Project Partnerships initially include:
1) Gateway's capital contribution,
2) Acquisition fees paid to the General Partner for services rendered in selecting properties for acquisition, and
3) Acquisition expenses including legal fees, travel and other miscellaneous costs relating to acquiring properties.
Quarterly the Investments in Project Partnerships are increased or decreased as follows:
1) Increased for equity in income or decreased for equity in losses of the Project Partnerships,
2) Decreased for cash distributions received from the Project Partnerships, and
3) Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and expenses.
Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over 35 years, as this is the average estimated useful life of the underlying assets. The amortization is shown as amortization expense on the Statements of Operations.
Pursuant to the limited partnership agreements for the Project Partnerships, cash losses generated by the Project Partnerships are allocated to the general partners of those partnerships. In subsequent years, cash profits, if any, are first allocated to the general partners to the extent of the allocation of prior years' cash losses.
Since Gateway invests as a limited partner, and therefore is not obligated to fund losses or make additional capital contributions, it does not recognize losses from individual Project Partnerships to the extent that these losses would reduce the investment in those Project Partnerships below zero. The suspended losses will be used to offset future income from the individual Project Partnerships.
Gateway reviews its investments in Project Partnerships to determine if there has been any permanent impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the investment, Gateway recognizes an impairment loss. No impairment loss has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.
Gateway, as a limited partner in the Project Partnerships, is subject to risks inherent in the ownership of property which are beyond its control, such as fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations in rental schedules, proper maintenance and continued eligibility of tax credits. If the cost of operating a property exceeds the rental income earned thereon, Gateway may deem it in its best interest to voluntarily provide funds in order to protect its investment. Gateway does not guarantee any of the mortgages or other debt of the Project Partnerships.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
It is Gateway's policy to include short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less in Cash and Cash Equivalents. Short-term investments are comprised of money market mutual funds.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject Gateway to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash investments in a money market mutual fund that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates are based on management's knowledge and experience. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment in Securities
Effective April 1, 1995, Gateway adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("FAS 115"). Under FAS 115, Gateway is required to categorize its debt securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading securities, dependent upon Gateway's intent in holding the securities. Gateway's intent is to hold all of its debt securities (U. S. Government Security Strips) until maturity and to use these reserves to fund Gateway's ongoing operations. Interest income is recognized ratably on the U. S. Government Strips using the effective yield to maturity.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been made in these financial statements, as income taxes are a liability of the partners rather than of Gateway.
Reclassifications
For comparability, the 2004 figures have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform with the financial statement presentation used in 2003.
Basis of Preparation
The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004. In the opinion of management these financial statements include adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly summarize the Partnership's financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the periods may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No 144 provides accounting guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption did not have an effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." FIN46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2004. The Partnership does not feel that there will be any effects on its results of operations as a result of the adoption of FIN46. Prior to the effective date of FIN46, Gateway is
required to disclose its maximum exposure to economic and financial statement losses as a result of its involvement with variable interest entities. Gateway's exposure to these losses is limited to its investment in the Project Partnerships which is $1,068,410 at September 30, 2004.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES:
The September 30, 2004 Balance Sheet includes Investment in Securities consisting of U.S. Government Security Strips which represents their cost, plus accreted interest income of $75,763 for Series 2, $67,389 for Series 3, $85,375 for Series 4, $106,410 for Series 5 and $126,738 for Series 6. For convenience, the Investment in Securities are commonly held in a brokerage account with Raymond James and Associates, Inc. A separate accounting is maintained for each series' share of the investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures:
Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Partnership's management, including the Partnership's chief executive and chief financial officers, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was performed. Based on this evaluation, such officers have concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of that evaluation in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to the Partnership required to be included in this report and the Partnership's other reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operations commenced on September 14, 1990, with the first admission of Assignees in Series 2. The proceeds from Assignees' capital contributions available for investment were used to acquire interests in Project Partnerships.
As disclosed on the statement of operations for each Series, interest income is lower for the six and three months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, due to lower interest rates. The General and Administrative expenses - General Partner for the six months ended September 30, 2004 are lower for the same period ended September 30, 2003. This decrease was due to a one-time adjustment in the prior period due to the change in the cost allocation methods. There were no other unusual variations in the operating results between these two periods.
The capital resources of each Series are used to pay General and Administrative operating costs including personnel, supplies, data processing, travel and legal and accounting associated with the administration and monitoring of Gateway and the Project Partnerships. The capital resources are also used to pay the Asset Management Fee due the Managing General Partner, but only to the extent that Gateway's remaining resources are sufficient to fund Gateway's ongoing needs. (Payment of any Asset Management Fee unpaid at the time Gateway sells its interests in the Project Partnerships is subordinated to the return of the investors' original capital contributions).
The sources of funds to pay the operating costs of each Series are short term investments and interest earned thereon, the maturity of U.S. Treasury Security Strips ("Zero Coupon Treasuries") which were purchased with funds set aside for this purpose, and cash distributed to the Series from the operations of the Project Partnerships.
From inception, no Series has paid distributions and management does not anticipate distributions in the future.
Series 2 - Gateway closed this series on September 14, 1990 after receiving $6,136,000 from 375 Assignees. Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships for the six months ended September 30, 2004 decreased from $18,142 for the six months ended September 30, 2003 to $16,364 as a result of an increase in rental revenue. In general, it is common in the real estate industry to experience losses for financial and tax reporting purposes because of the non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization. As a result, management expects that this Series, as well as those described below, will report its equity in Project Partnerships as a loss for tax and financial reporting purposes. Overall, management believes the Project Partnerships are operating as expected and are generating tax credits which meet projections.
At September 30, 2004, the Series had $263,548 of short-term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $120,140 in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing $61,174 in fiscal year 2006 increasing to $58,966 in fiscal year 2007. Management believes the sources of funds are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee.
As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had a net loss of $64,369 for the six months ended September 30, 2004. However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships of $16,364 and the changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash provided by operating activities was $13,704. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $28,760, consisting of $5,045 in cash distributions from the Project Partnerships and $23,715 from matured Zero Coupon Treasuries. There were no unusual events or trends to describe.
Series 3 - Gateway closed this series on December 13, 1990 after receiving $5,456,000 from 398 Assignees. Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships for the six months ended September 30, 2004 decreased from $2,296 for the six months ended September 30, 2003 to $0 as a result of the suspension of all income and loss in this Series so that the Investment in Project Partnerships does not fall below zero.
At September 30, 2004, the Series had $226,221 of short-term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $106,862 in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing $54,413 in fiscal year 2006 decreasing to $52,449 in fiscal year 2007. Management believes the sources of funds are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee.
As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had a net loss of $40,238 for the six months ended September 30, 2004. However, after adjusting for the changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash provided by operating activities was $8,707. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $30,095, consisting of $9,002 in cash distributions from the Project Partnerships and $21,093 from matured Zero Coupon Treasuries. There were no unusual events or trends to describe.

Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships for the six months ended September 30, 2004 decreased from $7,614 for the six months ended September 30, 2003 to $0 as a result of the suspension of all income and loss in this Series so that the Investment in Project Partnerships does not fall below zero.
At September 30, 2004, the Series had $322,538 of short-term investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents). It also had $135,383 in Zero Coupon Treasuries with annual maturities providing $68,936 in fiscal year 2006 decreasing to $66,447 in fiscal year 2007.
