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 29, 2000, Registrant had working capital reserves of
approximately $180,000, 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
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.
2
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, Taxpayer
Relief Act of 1998 and Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999 (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.

As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the occupancy and rental rates were as
follows:
December 31, 1999 December 31, 1998
----------------- -----------------
Occupancy Rate 98% 96%
Monthly Rental Rates:
Studio $ 589 - $1,044 $ 614 - $1,044
One-Bedroom $ 706 - $1,695 $ 715 - $1,395
Two-Bedroom $ 750 - $2,095 $1,001 - $1,802
Three-Bedroom $ 1,758 - $2,495 $1,658 - $2,395
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 29, 2000, 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:
Three complaints have been filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission against the Operating Partnerships, among others, by a former
employee, a former part-time rental agent, and a security person employed
by a private non-affiliated security company which provided service to the
Property, alleging, among other things, discrimination in connection with
advancement, hiring and termination. The Operating Partnerships intend to
vigorously defend these matters. The Operating General Partner cannot
measure the potential liability, if any, at this time.
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.
4
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 29, 2000, there were approximately 742 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 1999 (before extraordinary
charges) were favorable compared to 1998. 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. At such time, 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. The mortgage
terms expired May 1, 2000, at which time the mortgages were refinanced (see
description below). Recently, there has been ongoing new construction
5
of luxury multi-family housing in the vicinity of the Complex. Such housing
includes apartments with 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.
The Operating General Partner has informed the Partnership that, as of
April 28, 2000, the Operating Partnerships refinanced their current respective
outstanding mortgage liabilities under the $27,545,000 Jersey City Redevelopment
Agency Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds, Series 1992 (Fannie Mae Pass-through
Certificate Program/Dixon Mill Apartments Project). Prior to the refinancing,
the annual fixed interest rate of the mortgage was approximately 6.74%. The
total new indebtedness in the amount of $28,600,000 for a term of 30 years is
provided by (a) variable-rate tax-exempt bonds in the amount of $26,435,000, and
(b) variable-rate taxable bonds in the amount of $2,165,000. The initial
interest rates on the tax-exempt and taxable bonds are 5.1% and 6.15%,
respectively. The Operating Partnerships have purchased an interest cap which
would limit the interest rates to 6.97% for five years on the tax-exempt
portion, and 9.15% for five and one-half years on the taxable portion. Proceeds
from the new bond issue were used to pay off the existing 1992 bonds
(approximately $26,435,000), pay the costs of the transaction (approximately
$800,000), and fund reserves for capital improvements (approximately
$1,365,000).
As a result of the refinancing and the funding of reserves for capital
improvements, the Partnership understands that the Operating General Partner
intends to make approximately $1.6 million in capital improvements to the
Complex. The planned improvements include roof replacement, replacement of the
fire/smoke alarm system, elevator repairs, new entry doors and other repairs
throughout the complex.
Because of the reduction of the mortgage interest rate, there may be
greater potential for the Partnership to make cash distributions to the Limited
Partners on a regular basis. However, the Partnership's ability to make
distributions will depend on the level of interest rates and future operating
results of the Complex, which will be extremely dependent on competition and
market conditions, and therefore may be subject to significant volatility.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to whether or not the Partnership may
be able to make distributions, nor the timing or amount of any potential
distributions to Limited Partners. The Operating General Partners and the
General Partner plan to periodically assess the possible resumption of cash flow
distributions, on an ongoing basis, based on the results of operations, the
physical condition of the Property, the then current interest rates, and local
market conditions, among other things.
In connection with the mortgage modification in 1992, Chase and the
Partnership each provided advances of $317,713. During 1995, 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 . Such outstanding advances owed to the Partnership and all
accrued interest thereon were repaid by the Operating Partnerships during April
1999.
Because the outstanding advance owed to the Partnership was repaid, the
Operating Partnerships are no longer subject to restrictions concerning cash
flow distributions and the payment of certain fees to affiliates. To the extent
cash flow is generated by the Operating Partnerships, such cash flow may be
retained by the Operating Partnerships or may be distributed at the discretion
of management, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreements of
the Operating Partnerships. To the extent there are net 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 1999, the cumulative preferred
distribution is approximately $12,176,469. As of December 31, 1999, 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 $827,000.
As of December 31, 1999, the Operating Partnerships' net liquidity improved
compared to December 31, 1998. Although cash and cash equivalents decreased by
approximately $613,000, the replacement reserve increased by approximately
$80,000, accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by approximately
$517,000 and amounts due to related parties decreased by approximately $744,000
due to the payment of accumulated accrued management fees and investor service
fees.
The Operating General Partner settled two complaints which were filed in
Federal Court by former employees of the Operating Partnerships (one of whom is
a relative of the principals of the Operating General Partner) claiming sexual
harassment on behalf of the Operating Partnerships during 1999, each in the
amount of $250,000 inclusive of respective legal fees. Such settlements were
conducted despite the General Partner's refusal to provide its consent upon the
request of the Operating General Partner. The Partnership referred the matter to
Partnership counsel for review and advice. The General Partner believes such
request for consent was procedurally inappropriate. The results of the
settlements were accrued in the Operating Partnerships' financial statements as
of December 31, 1998.
As discussed above, during the year ended February 29, 2000, the
Partnership received full payment of its outstanding advance
6
and accrued interest thereon from the Operating Partnerships. As a result, the
Partnership made a distribution to limited partners in the amount of $964,000
($1,205 per unit) in February, 2000. During the year ended February 29, 2000,
the Partnership's investment in Operating Partnerships increased by $128,830 as
a result of the equity in income of investment in Operating Partnerships.
The annual investor service fees are payable from the operations of the
Operating Partnerships and from reserves. As of February 29, 2000 due to
affiliates includes $170,000 of accrued investor service fees, which includes
the Partnership's expense for the last eight fiscal periods and $50,000
otherwise payable from the final distribution of the guaranteed investment
contracts in January 1992.
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,
under which 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 29, 2000
During the year ended February 29, 2000 the Partnership earned interest of
approximately $54,000 which was comparable to the previous fiscal period. The
Partnership's operating expenses (which include accrued investor service fees of
$15,000) were comparable to the year ended February 28, 1999. The operating
expenses of the Partnership are not expected to vary significantly in the near
future although interest revenue is expected to decline substantially as a
result of the distribution to limited partners. Registrant's equity in income in
Operating Partnerships does not include a 99% allocation of the income reported
by the Operating Partnerships due to the nonrecognition of previous years'
losses in excess of Registrant's investment in Dixon Mills I and II in
accordance with the equity method of accounting.
The Operating Partnerships reported net income from operations for the year
ended December 31, 1999 in the amount of approximately $239,000, inclusive of
depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,386,000. The Operating
Partnerships generated cash flow after required debt service payments and
required replacement reserve deposits of approximately $1,293,000 during 1999,
which considers principal amortization under the mortgages (approximately
$272,000) and net deposits to the replacement reserve (approximately $65,000).
Occupancy remained consistently high throughout 1999, while management has
steadily increased rental rates, resulting in an increase in rental revenues of
approximately $436,000 compared to 1998.
The Operating Partnerships did not utilize any replacement reserves during
1999. 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. In addition,
management is addressing the potential need for capital improvements to be
conducted in the near future. As of December 31, 1999, the occupancy rate was
approximately 98%. 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, 1999
During the year ended February 28, 1999, the Partnership earned interest of
approximately $53,000 including approximately $21,000 of accrued interest on
advances provided to the Operating Partnerships. During the year ended February
28, 1999, interest earnings was comparable to the previous fiscal period. The
Partnership's operating expenses (which include accrued investor service fees of
$15,000) were comparable to the year ended February 28, 1998. 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
7
investment in Dixon Mills I in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
The Operating Partnerships reported a net loss for the year ended December
31, 1998 in the amount of approximately $748,000, inclusive of depreciation and
amortization of approximately $1,377,000 and the extraordinary charge in
connection with the litigation settlement of $500,000. However, the Operating
Partnerships generated cash flow after required debt service payments and
required replacement reserve deposits of approximately $549,000 during 1998,
which considers principal amortization under the mortgages (approximately
$254,000) and net deposits to the replacement reserve (approximately $85,000),
and excludes the extraordinary charge and accrued interest to the Partnership
(approximately $21,000). Occupancy remained consistently high throughout 1998,
while management steadily increased rental rates, resulting in an improvement in
operating results compared to 1997. As of December 31, 1998, the occupancy rate
was approximately 96%. The Operating Partnerships did not utilize any
replacement reserves during 1998.
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. The Partnership's operating
expenses (which include accrued investor service fees of $15,000) were
comparable to the year ended February 28, 1997. 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 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 $476,000 during 1997,
which considers principal amortization under the mortgages (approximately
$238,000) and net deposits to required escrows (approximately $121,000) and
excludes accrued interest to the Partnership (approximately $21,000). Occupancy
remained consistently high throughout 1997, while management steadily increased
rental rates. The Operating Partnerships did not utilize any replacement
reserves during 1997. As of December 31, 1997, the occupancy rate was
approximately 99%.
Inflation
Inflation is not expected to have a material adverse impact on Registrant's
revenues during its period of equity ownership in the Operating
Partnerships except as discussed below under Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk.
Year 2000 Compliance
The inability of computers, software and other equipment utilizing
microprocessors to recognize and properly process data fields containing a two
digit year is commonly referred to as the year 2000 compliance ("Y2K") issue. As
the year 2000 unfolds, certain systems may be unable to accurately process
certain data-based information. Many businesses may need to upgrade existing
systems or purchase new ones to correct the Y2K issue. The Partnership has
performed an assessment of its computer software and hardware and believes it
has made the necessary upgrades in an effort to ensure compliance. However,
there can be no assurance that the systems of other entities on which the
Partnership relies, including the Operating Partnerships which report to the
Partnership on a periodic basis for the purpose of the Partnership's reporting
to its investors, have been or will be sufficiently converted. To date, the
Partnership is not aware of any problems caused by Y2K. The total cost
associated with Y2K implementation is not expected to materially impact the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations in any given year.
However, there can be no assurance that a failure to convert by the Partnership
or another entity would not have a material adverse impact on the Partnership.
Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Partnership has market risk sensitivity with regard to financial
instruments concerning potential interest rate fluctuations in connection with
the low floater rates associated with the Operating Partnerships' mortgages as
refinanced as of April 28, 2000. Although an interest rate cap has been
purchased, an increase in the low-floater interest rates could have a material
adverse impact on the Partnership's results of operations.

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.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers
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.
Fiscal year
The Partnership's fiscal year ends on the last day in February.
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.

-------------------------------------------------
In connection with the modification of the mortgages of the Operating
Partnerships on June 11, 1992, the Partnership provided (i) an advance of
$300,000 to assist in covering costs associated with such modification and
(ii) a letter of credit to Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"),
the lender, in the amount of $600,000. Such letter of credit was provided
to assist in covering future operating shortfalls, if any, of the
Operating Partnerships in order to avoid default under their respective
mortgage obligations. The term of the letter of credit was the later of
(i) January 1, 1996 or (ii) the ability of the operating Partnerships to
operate at a debt service coverage ratio of 1.10 for a twelve month
period. Such condition was satisfied for the twelve-month period ended

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Dixon Mills
Associates as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of
operations, partners' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997. 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, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations, changes in
partners' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
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 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 life assigned is 40 years for the real property.
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.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
-------------------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Operating Partnerships
consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original
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 (Note 9).
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.
The Operating Partnerships did not allocate 99% of the income reported in
1999 to the Limited Partner due to the non-allocation of previous years'
losses in excess of the Limited Partner's investment in Dixon Mills I & II
in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
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, 1999 is
$12,176,469. There is no assurance that all or a portion of such amount
will be paid, and no amount has been accrued.

3. PARTNERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
----------------------------
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 unpaid
cumulative Preference Amount.
- The balance of adjusted capital contributions of the General Partner.
- The balance, if any, 75% to the Limited Partner and 25% to the
Operating General Partner.

Partner, in the amount of $82,678 in 1999, $78,444 in 1998 and $74,915 in
1997. WRMC received payments of $76,329 and $35,004 in 1999 and 1998
respectively. In addition, property management fees of $106,516, $100,166
and $94,872 were incurred in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively to Morris
Property Management, an affiliate of the General Partner. Morris Property

$270,000 in 1999 for accumulated accrued investor service fees.
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.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
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:
2000 290,713
2001 310,924
2002 332,540
2003 356,499
2004 381,283
Thereafter 24,577,855
-----------
$26,249,814
===========
The Mortgages were refinanced on April 28, 2000 (see Note 9).
The Replacement Reserve (included in mortgage escrow deposits) shall be
used exclusively to pay for certain repairs or replacements, subject to the
approval of the Lender. The balance in this account was $826,685 and
$747,117 at December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
6. NOTE PAYABLE
------------
The Limited Partner 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. In April 1999, the
Partnership repaid the outstanding advances of $317,713 and accrued
interest of $142,091.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
Three complaints have been filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission against the Operating Partnerships, among others, by a former
employee, a former part-time rental agent, and a security person employed
by a private non-affiliated security company which provided service to the
Property, alleging, among other things, discrimination in connection with
advancement, hiring and termination. The Operating Partnerships intend to

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
----------------
The Operating Partnerships refinanced their respective outstanding mortgage
liabilities under the $27,545,000 Jersey City Redevelopment Agency
Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds, Series 1992 (Fannie Mae pass-through
Certificate Program/Dixon Mill Apartments Project as of April 28, 2000).
The total new indebtedness in the amount of $28,600,000 for a term of 30
years is provided by (a) variable-rate tax-exempt bonds in the amount of
$26,435,000, and (b) variable-rate taxable bonds in the amount of
$2,165,000. The Operating Partnerships have purchased an interest cap which
would limit the interest rates to 6.97% for five years on the tax-exempt
portion , and 9.15% for five and one-half years on the taxable portion.
Proceeds from the new bond issue were used to pay off the existing 1992
bonds (approximately $26,435,000), pay the costs of the transaction
(approximately $800,000), and fund reserves for capital improvements
(approximately $1,365,000).
As a result of the refinancing, deferred costs of $449,912 reflected on the
Operating Partnerships' balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 will be
amortized in the year ended December 31, 2000.
The new mortgage terms require monthly payments of $6,362 to a replacement
reserve.
