Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions
------------------------------------------------------------
and Results of Operations
-------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2003, Wilder Richman Historic Properties II, L.P. (the
"Partnership") experienced few changes in its financial condition as compared to
February 28, 2003, with the exception of the investment in the Operating
Partnerships resulting from the equity in income of operating partnerships for
the six months ended June 30, 2003, net of distributions received in the amount
of $1,239,180.
The Operating Partnerships refinanced their respective outstanding mortgage
liabilities as of April 28, 2001 (the "Refinancing"). 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 was
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 were 5.1% and 6.15%,
respectively. The Operating Partnerships 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 enabled the Operating Partnerships to create a reserve for capital
improvements (approximately $1,365,000). In addition, the balance in the
replacement reserve at the date of the Refinancing (approximately $903,000) was
transferred to the capital improvement reserve.
In August 2003, the Operating Partnerships made a cash distribution of
approximately $1,071,000, or approximately $1,325 per Unit based on 2002
operations and because the Property had accumulated approximately $7.2 million
in cash and restricted deposits as of December 31, 2002, primarily as a result
of the low floater interest rate on the Property's mortgages.
However, the Partnership's ability to make future distributions will depend on
the future operating results of the Complex, which will be extremely dependent
on competition, market conditions, needed capital improvements and repairs and
interest rates. There can be no assurance as to whether or not the Partnership
may be able to make future distributions, nor the timing or amount of any
potential distributions to Limited Partners. 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. For example, as a result of reduced rental rates in the market,
operations thus far in 2003 have declined and the Operating General Partner at
this time has not made any determination with respect to potential distributions
which might be made in 2004.
The Property is reporting cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2003 (see
Results of Operations, below) and the Operating Partnerships' cash and cash
equivalents as of June 30, 2003 have increased by approximately $362,000
compared to December 31, 2002, while accounts payable and accrued expenses have
decreased by approximately $151,000. The capital improvement escrow and
replacement reserve accounts, which are controlled by the lender for the purpose
of funding planned capital improvements and needed repairs, are approximately
$224,000 and $397,850, respectively, as of June 30, 2003. The principal reserve,
which is controlled by the lender for purposes of amortizing the debt, is
approximately $1,082,000 as of June 30, 2003. Each of the foregoing reserves and
escrows are reflected in the Operating Partnerships' balance sheet under the
caption mortgage escrow deposits.
Because the rehabilitation of the Property was completed more than ten years
ago, management has been addressing the need for extensive capital improvements.
As a result of the Refinancing, significant capital improvements have been
completed. The improvements that were contemplated as part of the Refinancing
include roof replacement, replacement of the fire/smoke alarm system, elevator
repairs, new entry doors and other repairs throughout the Complex. In addition,
the Operating General Partner has identified other potential significant capital
improvements and repairs totaling approximately $8.5 million throughout the
Complex, which it intends to address over the next few years. Such capital
improvements and repairs would significantly reduce the Operating Partnerships'
cash flow available for distribution. The Operating General Partner believes
that other improvements, whose timing may be discretionary but which may be
important to remain competitive in the rental market, should be made over time
and include kitchen and bath renovations, new appliances, and replacement of
doors and windows. The Operating General Partner anticipates spending
approximately $1 million by year end 2003 and approximately $1.5 million or more
(originally scheduled for 2003) in 2004 for capital needs, including structural
work on the pump house building, roof and balcony repairs, and steel
restoration. Depending on market conditions, rents may need to be further
adjusted.

WILDER RICHMAN HISTORIC PROPERTIES II, L.P.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations (continued)
---------------------------------
During 2002, the Partnership agreed with the Operating General Partner to hire a
national brokerage and marketing firm to privately solicit offers from major
apartment owners to purchase the Property (on a confidential basis) in order to
determine the current market value of the Property. Approximately 30 companies
with experience in real estate investments in this area were approached. Two of
those solicitations resulted in initial offers to purchase the Property, which
are non-binding and subject to due diligence. Because of the age of the Property
and necessary capital repairs and improvements already identified, the Operating
General Partner believes it is likely the offers would be reduced after due
diligence investigations, and there is no guarantee that either of the offers
would result in a sale of the Property being completed.
Under the Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, a sale of the Property would
require the consent of a majority in interest of the Unit Holders. Accordingly,
on July 1, 2003, the Partnership presented Proxy materials by which Unit Holders
were asked to vote as to whether or not they wanted to pursue a sale of the
Property. Such Proxy materials included an estimate of the amount that would be
available to Unit Holders if a sale were to occur at or near the prices
currently offered based on the Partnership's payables, cash reserves, estimated
closing costs and sales commissions. An estimate of net sales proceeds and an
estimate of a Unit Holder's federal tax results which would be triggered by a
sale were included in the Proxy materials. The due date for Unit Holders to
submit their votes was July 21, 2003. According to the terms of the Partnership
Agreement, the consent of the holders of 51% of the Units is required to approve
a proposed sale. Unit Holders holding 48% of the outstanding units voted in
favor of the proposed sale. The General Partner believes that the fact that
holders of 48% of the units voted in favor of pursuing a sale of the property is
a clear indication that the Partnership should review various sale options. The
General Partner intends to establish a 90-day period during which interested
parties will have the opportunity (upon execution of a confidentiality
agreement) to perform due diligence and provide the Partnership with a firm
proposal or offer to purchase the real estate or all the Partnership interests.
The General Partner anticipates that the Partnership would review and respond to
any proposals or offers received within 30 to 45 days after the 90-day due
diligence period ends. The General Partner may call for a new vote of the Unit
Holders to accept or reject the most favorable proposal (in the discretion of
the General Partner) in a manner that complies with applicable law.
The Partnership's operating results are dependent upon the operating results of
the Operating Partnerships and are significantly impacted by the Operating
Partnerships' policies. The Partnership accounts for its investment in the
Operating Partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting, under
which the investment is carried at cost and is adjusted for the Partnership's
share of the Operating Partnerships' results of operations and by any cash
distributions received.
Results of Operations
For the six months ended August 31, 2003, the statement of operations of the
Partnership reflects net earnings of $163,951, which includes equity in income
of operating partnerships of $238,663. The Operating Partnerships reported net
earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2003 of $241,074, inclusive of
depreciation and amortization expense of $774,337. The Operating Partnerships
generated cash flow after required debt service payments and required
replacement reserve deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2003 of
approximately $598,000, which includes required deposits to the principal
reserve under the mortgages (approximately $196,000) and deposits to required
escrows (approximately $38,000). The Operating Partnerships' results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 reflect a significant
reduction in interest expense compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002 due
to a decline in the average low floater interest rates. Despite the lower
interest expense in 2003, the Operating Partnerships' net income declined as a
result of a reduction in rents and certain planned expenditures. The average
interest rates on the low floater bonds for the six months ended June 30, 2003
were 1.14% for the tax exempt bonds and 1.36% for the taxable bonds. The average
occupancy for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately 94.5%.
For the six months ended August 31, 2002, the statement of operations of the
Partnership reflects net earnings of $697,837, which includes equity in income
of operating partnerships of $718,987. The Operating Partnerships reported net
earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $726,249, inclusive of
depreciation and amortization expense of $762,013. The Operating Partnerships
generated cash flow after required debt service payments and required
replacement reserve deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2002 of
approximately $1,277,000, which includes required deposits to the principal
reserve under the mortgages (approximately $180,000) and deposits to required
escrows (approximately $38,000). The average interest rates on the low floater
bonds for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were 1.23% for the tax exempt bonds
and 1.96% for the taxable bonds. The average occupancy for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 was approximately 98%.

WILDER RICHMAN HISTORIC PROPERTIES II, L.P.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
----------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations (continued)
---------------------------------
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the
Partnership to make certain estimates and assumptions. The following section is
a summary of certain aspects of those accounting policies that may require
subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of the
Partnership's financial condition and results of operations. The Partnership
believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or
assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different
amounts being reported in the financial statements.
o The Partnership accounts for its investment in operating partnerships in
accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Partnership does
not control the operations of an Operating Partnership.
o If the book value of the Partnership's investment in an Operating
Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, the
Partnership reduces its investment in any such Operating Partnership and
includes such reduction in equity in income (loss) of investment in
operating partnerships.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure 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. Although an
interest rate cap has been purchased, a change in the low-floater interest rates
of .25% would have an annualized impact of approximately $70,000 on the
Operating Partnerships' results of operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
-----------------------
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
a. Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Partnership's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of
the effectiveness of the Partnership's "disclosure controls and procedures"
as defined in the securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and
15(d)-14(c). Based on that evaluation, the Partnership's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the date of
the evaluation, the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were
adequate and effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to the Partnership required to be included in the Partnership's
periodic SEC filings.
Changes in Internal Controls
b. There were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect the Partnership's internal
controls subsequent to the date of that evaluation.
