WILDER RICHMAN HISTORIC PROPERTIES II, L.P.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2004, Wilder Richman Historic Properties II, L.P. (the
"Partnership") experienced few changes in its financial condition as compared to
February 29, 2004, 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, 2004, net of distributions received in the amount
of $200,000.
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.
As a result of the reduction of the mortgage interest rate, the Operating
Partnerships have generated greater cash flow. However, the Partnership's
ability to make distributions is dependent upon the level of interest rates and
future operating results of the Complex, which is extremely dependent on
competition, market conditions and needed capital improvements and repairs.
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 Partner and the General
Partner plan to periodically assess the feasibility of making cash flow
distributions, based on the results of operations, the physical condition of the
Property (see discussion below), the then current and anticipated interest
rates, and local market conditions, among other things. 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.
Although the Property is reporting cash flow for the six months ended June 30,
2004 (see Results of Operations, below), cash flow has decreased over recent
periods as a result of local market conditions and costs incurred in connection
with capital improvements to the Property. The Operating Partnerships' cash and
cash equivalents as of June 30, 2004 have decreased by approximately $195,000
compared to December 31, 2003, while accounts payable and accrued expenses
having decreased by approximately $183,000. The replacement reserve account,
which is controlled by the lender for the purpose of funding planned capital
improvements and needed repairs, is approximately $968,000, as of June 30, 2004.
The principal reserve, which is controlled by the lender for purposes of
amortizing the debt, is approximately $1,502,000 as of June 30, 2004. 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 throughout the Complex, which it intends to address
currently and 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 anticipates spending approximately
$2.3 million in 2004 for capital needs, including structural work on the pump
house building, roof and balcony repairs, steel restoration and windows. 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. Furthermore, the local rental
market has softened; as a result, the local competition has reduced their rental
rates. Management has implemented rental reductions and concessions over the
past one to two years in order to maintain its position in the market, which has
adversely affected cash flow; such affect has been partially offset by changes
in the low floater mortgage interest rates, but would be exacerbated by an
increase in the low floater interest rates. Depending on market conditions,
rents may need to be further adjusted.
9
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. Two of those solicitations
resulted in initial non-binding offers to purchase the Property.
Under the terms of 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. Unit Holders holding 48% of the outstanding Units
voted in favor of the proposed sale. Subsequent to initiating the proxy, at
least two tender offers to purchase the Units provided Unit Holders an
opportunity to sell Units at prices equal to or above the net sales proceeds
estimated in the proxy materials. The General Partner recently remarketed the
Property and two offers were received. The new offers were made by the previous
bidders for the property, and their bids were identical to their previous
offers. According to the real estate agent, although the net operating income
was reduced since the prior marketing, the offering prices remained at the same
level because of a substantial decline in the capitalization rate in the last
two years, thereby offsetting the effect of the decline in net operating income.
It is estimated that the amount that would be available for distribution to the
Limited Partners from a sale at the offering prices, updated to reflect recent
Balance Sheet information, to be approximately $9,600 to $10,800 per Unit.
Since the offers received are no higher than the offers produced by the previous
marketing, and since a significant number of Unit holders who wished to
liquidate their holdings have sold their Units in one of the recent tender
offers (which offered prices up to $13,500 per Unit), the General Partner does
not intend to pursue another vote among the Limited Partners as to whether to
sell the Property at this time. The General Partner intends to continue to
observe market conditions and may consider possible opportunities to market the
Property again in the future.
The Operating General Partner's objective has been to build up reserves to a
level sufficient to reasonably offset the potential adverse impact of future
increases in the low floater interest rates in addition to other contingencies,
including capital improvements and potential significant increases in real
estate taxes. The Operating General Partner intends to take into account, among
other factors, a similar analysis when considering making future annual
distributions.
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, 2004, the statement of operations of the
Partnership reflects net earnings of $63,025, which includes equity in income of
operating partnerships of $163,342. The Operating Partnerships reported net
income during the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $164,992, inclusive of
depreciation and amortization expense of $791,672. The Operating Partnerships
generated cash flow after required debt service payments and required
replacement reserve deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2004 of
approximately $205,000, which includes required deposits to the principal
reserve under the mortgages (approximately $215,000), deposits to required
escrows (approximately $57,000), deposits to a voluntary replacement reserve
account held by the Operating Partnerships (approximately $180,000) and planned
capital improvements (approximately $435,000, of which approximately $300,000
was capitalized). The Operating Partnerships' interest expense for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 was comparable to the six months ended June 30, 2003.
The average interest rates on the low floater bonds for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 were 1.08% for the tax exempt bonds and 1.23% for the taxable
bonds. Despite the continued favorable interest rates in 2004, the Operating
Partnerships' net income declined as a result of a reduction in rents and
planned capital expenditures. The average occupancy for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 was approximately 96.2%.
10
WILDER RICHMAN HISTORIC PROPERTIES II, L.P.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations (continued)
For the six months ended August 31, 2003, the statement of operations of the
Partnership reflects net earnings of $149,926, 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%.
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
As of August 31, 2004, under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, Registrant evaluated the effectiveness of its
disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial
reporting and concluded that (i) Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of August 31, 2004 and (ii) no changes occurred during the
quarter ended August 31, 2004 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, such internal controls.
