meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are
based on assumptions and expectations which may not be realized and are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted
with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and
actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results
discussed in the forward-looking statements. Risks and other factors that might
cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the effect of economic
and market conditions; financing risks, such as the inability to obtain debt
financing on favorable terms; the level and volatility of interest rates; and
failure of the Partnership's properties to generate additional income to offset
increases in operating expenses, as well as other risks listed herein under Item

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General Development of Business
Uniprop Manufactured Housing Communities Income Fund II, a Michigan
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), acquired, maintains, operates and
ultimately will dispose of income producing residential real properties
consisting of nine manufactured housing communities (the "Properties"). The
Partnership was organized and formed under the laws of the State of Michigan on
November 7, 1986. Its principal offices are located at 280 Daines Street,
Birmingham, Michigan 48009 and its telephone number is (248) 645-9261.
The Partnership filed an S-11 Registration Statement in November 1986,
which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 23, 1986. The Partnership thereafter sold 3,303,387 units (the "Units")
of beneficial assignment of limited partnership interest representing capital
contributions by unit holders (the "Unit Holders") to the Partnership of $20 per
unit. The sale of all 3,303,387 Units was completed in December 1987, generating
$66,067,740 of contributed capital to the Partnership.
The Partnership acquired seven of the Properties in 1987 and acquired two
additional Properties in 1988.
-2-
The Partnership operates the Properties as manufactured housing
communities with the primary investment objectives of: (1) providing cash from
operations to investors; (2) obtaining capital appreciation; and (3) preserving
capital of the Partnership. There can be no assurance that such objectives can
be achieved.
On August 20, 1998, the Partnership borrowed $30,000,000 (the "Loan") from
GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation. It secured the Loan by placing new
mortgages on seven of its nine properties. The note is payable in monthly
installments of $188,878, including interest at 6.37% through March 2009.
Thereafter, the monthly installment and interest rate will be adjusted based on
the provisions of the Loan Agreement through the note maturity date of September
2028. The Partnership used the proceeds from the Loan to refinance the
Partnership's outstanding indebtedness of $30,045,000, which was incurred in a
1993 mortgage financing transaction.
Financial Information About Industry Segment
The Partnership's business and only industry segment is the operation of
its nine manufactured housing communities. Partnership operations commenced in
April 1987 upon the acquisition of the first two Properties. For a description
of the Partnership's revenues, operating profit and assets, please refer to
Items 6 and 8.
Narrative Description of Business
General
The Sunshine Village, Ardmor Village and Camelot Manor Properties were
selected from 25 manufactured housing communities then owned by affiliates of
Genesis Associates Limited Partnership, the General Partner of the Partnership
(the "General Partner"). The other six communities were purchased from
unaffiliated third parties. The Partnership rents home sites in the Properties
to owners of manufactured homes. It was intended that the Partnership would hold
the Properties for extended periods of time, originally anticipated to be seven
to ten years after their acquisition. The General Partner has the discretion to
determine when a Property is to be sold; provided, however, that the
determination of whether a particular Property should be disposed of will be
made by the General Partner only after consultation with an independent
consultant, Manufactured Housing Services Inc. (the "Consultant"). In making
their decision, the General Partner and Consultant will consider relevant
factors, including, current operating results of the particular Property and
prevailing economic conditions, with a view to achieving maximum capital
appreciation to the Partnership while considering relevant tax consequences and
the Partnership's investment objectives.
Competition
The business of owning and operating residential manufactured housing
communities is highly competitive, and the Partnership may be competing with a
number of established companies having greater financial resources. Moreover,
there has been a
-3-
trend for manufactured housing community residents to purchase (where zoning
permits) their manufactured home sites on a collective basis. This trend may
result in increased competition with the Partnership for residents. In addition,
the General Partner, its affiliates or both, has and may in the future
participate directly or through other partnerships or investment vehicles in the
acquisition, ownership, development, operation and sale of projects which may be
in direct competition with one or more of the Properties.
Each of the Properties competes with numerous similar facilities located
in its geographic area. The Davie/Fort Lauderdale area contains approximately
seven communities offering approximately 3,441 housing sites competing with
Sunshine Village. Ardmor Village competes with approximately fourteen
communities in the Lakeville, Minnesota area offering approximately 3,251
housing sites. Camelot Manor competes with approximately eleven communities in
the Grand Rapids, Michigan area offering approximately 2,309 housing sites. In
the Jacksonville, Florida area, Country Roads competes with approximately eleven
communities offering approximately 4,047 housing sites. The Tampa, Florida area
contains approximately seventeen communities offering approximately 4,600
housing sites competing with Paradise Village. Dutch Hills and Stonegate Manor
compete with approximately 12 other communities in the Lansing, Michigan area
offering approximately 3,878 housing sites. In the Las Vegas, Nevada area, West
Valley and El Adobe compete with approximately 13 other communities offering
approximately 2,781 housing sites and El Adobe competes with 19 other
communities offering 1,167 homesites. The Properties also compete against other
forms of housing, including apartment and condominium complexes, and site built
homes.
Governmental Regulations
The Properties owned by the Partnership are subject to certain state
regulations regarding the conduct of the Partnership operations. For example,
the State of Florida regulates agreements and relationships between the
Partnership and the residents of Sunshine Village, Country Roads and Paradise
Village. Under Florida law, the Partnership is required to deliver to new
residents of those Properties a prospectus describing the property and all
tenant rights, Property rules and regulations, and changes to Property rules and
regulations. Florida law also requires minimum lease terms, requires notice of
rent increases, grants to tenant associations certain rights to purchase the
community if being sold by the owner and regulates other aspects of the
management of such properties. The Partnership is required to give 90 days
notice to the residents of Florida Properties of any rate increase, reduction in
services or utilities, or change in rules and regulations. If a majority of the
residents object to such changes as unreasonable, the matter must be submitted
to the Florida Department of Professional Business Regulations for mediation
prior to any legal adjudication of the matter. In addition, if the Partnership
seeks to sell Florida Properties to the general public, it must notify any
homeowners' association for the residents, and the association shall have the
right to purchase the Property on the price, terms and conditions being offered
to the public within 45 days of notification by the owner. If the Partnership
receives an unsolicited bona fide offer to purchase the Property, it must notify
any such homeowners' association that it has received an offer, state to the
homeowners' association the price, terms and conditions upon which the
Partnership would sell the Property, and consider (without obligation)
-4-
accepting an offer from the homeowners' association. The Partnership has, to the
best of its knowledge, complied in all material respects with all requirements
of the States of Florida, Michigan, Minnesota and Nevada, where its operations
are conducted.
Employees
The Partnership employs three part-time employees to perform Partnership
management and investor relations' services. The Partnership retains an
affiliate, Uniprop AM, LLC, as the property manager for each of its Properties.
Uniprop AM, LLC is paid a fee equal to the lesser of 5% of the annual gross
receipts from each of the Properties or the amount which would be payable to
unaffiliated third parties for comparable services. Uniprop AM, LLC retains
local managers on behalf of the Partnership at each of the Properties. Salaries
and fringe benefits of such local managers are paid by the Community and are not
included in any property management fee payable to Uniprop AM, LLC. The yearly
salaries and expenses for local managers range from $15,000 to $42,000.
Community Managers are utilized by the Partnership to provide on-site
maintenance and administrative services. Uniprop AM, LLC as property manager,
has overall management authority for each property.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Partnership purchased all nine manufactured housing communities for
cash. As a result of the Loan, seven of the nine Properties are now encumbered
with mortgages.
Each of the Properties is a modern manufactured housing community
containing lighted and paved streets, side-by-side off-street parking and
complete underground utility systems. The Properties consist of only the
underlying real estate and improvements, not the actual homes themselves. Each
of the Properties has a community center, which includes offices, meeting rooms
and game rooms. Each of the Properties, except Stonegate Manor, has a swimming
pool. Several of the Properties also have laundry rooms, playground areas,
garage and maintenance areas and recreational vehicle or boat storage areas.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the opinion of the Partnership and its legal counsel, there are no
material legal proceedings pending except such ordinary routine matters as are
incident to the kind of business conducted by the Partnership. To the knowledge
of the Partnership and its counsel, no legal proceedings have been instituted or
are being contemplated by any governmental authority against the Partnership.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The voting privileges of the Unit Holders are restricted to certain
matters of fundamental significance to the Partnership. The Unit Holders must
approve certain major decisions of the General Partner if the General Partner
proposes to act without the approval of the Consultant. The Unit Holders also
have a right to vote on the removal and replacement of the General Partner,
dissolution of the Partnership, material amendments
-6-
to the Partnership Agreement and the sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets, except in the ordinary course of
the Partnership's disposing of the Properties. Such matters must be approved by
Unit Holders holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the then outstanding
interests. No matters were submitted to the Unit Holders for a vote during 2004.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER
MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
There is no established public trading market for the Units of the
Partnership and it is not anticipated that one will ever develop. During the
last twelve months, less than five percent (5.0%) of the Units have been
transferred, excluding transfers due to death or intra-family transfers. The
Partnership believes there is no formal secondary market, or the substantial
equivalent thereof, and none will develop.
The General Partner calculates the estimated net asset value of each Unit
by dividing (i) the amount of distributions that would be made to the Unit
Holders in the event of the current sale of the Properties at their current
appraised value, less the outstanding balances of the mortgages on the mortgaged
Properties and sales expenses (but without consideration to tax consequences of
the sale), by (ii) 3,303,387. In March 2005, the Properties were appraised at an
aggregate fair market value of $80,050,000. Assuming a sale of the nine
properties in March 2005, at the appraised value, less payment of selling
expenses and mortgage debt, the net aggregate proceeds available for
distribution to the Unit Holders is estimated to be $50,308,196 or $15.23 per
Unit. There can be no assurance that the estimated net asset value could ever be
realized. As of March 1, 2005, the Partnership had approximately 3,941 Unit
Holders.
The following table sets forth the distributions per limited partnership unit
for each calendar quarter in the last two fiscal years. Distributions were paid
in the periods immediately subsequent to the periods in which such distributions
were declared.

The Partnership intends to continue to declare quarterly distributions. However,
distributions are determined by the General Partner and will depend on the
results of the Partnership's operations.
The Partnership has no equity compensation plans.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
Capital Resources
The capital formation phase of the Partnership began on April 1, 1987 when
Sunshine Village and Ardmor Village were purchased by the Partnership and
operations commenced. It ended on January 15, 1988 when El Adobe, the
Partnership's last property, was purchased. The total capital raised through
December 1987 was
-8-
$66,067,740 of which approximately $58,044,000 was used to purchase the nine
Properties after deducting sales commissions, advisory fees and other
organization and offering costs.
As described in Item 1, the Partnership borrowed $30,000,000 from GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation in August 1998. The note is payable in monthly
installments of $188,878, including interest at 6.37% through March, 2009.
Thereafter, the monthly installment and interest rate will be adjusted based on
the provisions of the agreement through the note maturity date of September
2028. The Loan was secured by mortgages on the Partnership's Ardmor Village,
Camelot Manor, Dutch Hills, El Adobe, Stonegate Manor, Sunshine Village and West
Valley Properties. The Partnership used the proceeds from the Loan to refinance
the Partnership's outstanding indebtedness of $30,045,000.
Future maturities on the note payable for the next five years are as
follows: 2005 - $506,000; 2006 - $540,000; 2007 - $587,000 and 2008 - $622,000;
and 2009 - $660,000.
The General Partner acknowledges that the mortgages pose some risks to the
Partnership, but believes that such risks are not greater than risks typically
associated with real estate financing.
Liquidity
The Partnership has, since inception, generated adequate amounts of cash
to meet its operating needs. The Partnership retains cash reserves, which it
believes will be adequate to maintain the Properties. All funds in excess of
operating needs, amounts sufficient to pay debt service, and cash reserves are
distributed to the Unit Holders on a quarterly basis. While the Partnership is
not required to maintain a working capital reserve, the Partnership has not
distributed all of the cash generated from operations in order to build capital
reserves. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership had $2,017,513 in cash
balances.
In February of 1994, the Partnership distributed $23,119,767 to the Unit
Holders, or $7.00 per $20.00 Unit held. Of this amount, $13,572,978 (or $4.11
per Unit), was applied to the then shortfall in the Unit Holders' 10.0%
cumulative preferred return, and $9,546,789 (or $2.89 per Unit), was a partial
return of the Limited Partners' original capital contributions.
Results of Operations
Distributions
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership made distributions
to the Unit Holders of $3,039,115, which is equal, on an annualized basis, to a
5% return on their adjusted capital contributions ($.92 per $17.11 Unit).
Distributions paid to Unit Holders in 2003 totaled $3,039,116, and $2,973,048
was paid in 2002.
-9-
The distributions paid in 2004 were less than the amount required for the
annual 10.0% preferred return to the Unit Holders by approximately $2,613,000.
As described in Note 7 to the Partnership's financial statements, the cumulative
preferred return deficit through December 2004 was approximately $32,854,000. No
distributions can be made to the General Partner in regard to its incentive
management interest until the cumulative preferred return deficit has been
distributed to the Unit Holders. At December 31, 2004, the unpaid amount to be
distributed to the General Partner was approximately $9,900,000.
Revenue and Net Income
For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, net income was
$1,375,127, $2,111,703 and $2,117,986 and gross revenue was $12,979,388,
$14,402,693 and $13,741,599, respectively.
The manufactured housing industry in general has experienced lower retail
sales over the past three years due to restrictive financing. In addition, the
U.S. economy has been sluggish.
Partnership Management
Certain employees of the Partnership are also employees of affiliates of
the General Partner. The Partnership paid these employees an aggregate of
$116,571, $113,501, and $96,345, in 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively, to perform
partnership management and investor relation services for the Partnership.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that the Fund is required to
adopt.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the course of developing and evaluating accounting policies and
procedures, we use estimates, assumptions and judgments to determine the most
appropriate methods to be applied. Such processes are used in determining
capitalization of costs related to real estate investments and potential
impairment of real estate investments.
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Expenditures for property maintenance are charged to operations as incurred,
while significant renovations are capitalized. Depreciation of the buildings is
recorded on the straight-line method using as estimated useful life of thirty
years.
-10-
In determining the fair value of real estate investments, we consider
future cash flow projections on a property by property basis, current interest
rates and current market conditions of the geographical location of each
property.
The following table outlines our contractual obligations (in thousands) as
of December 31, 2004.

Mortgages payable $ 27,340 $ 506 $ 1,127 $ 1,282 $ 24,425
The future payments listed above for long-term debt repayments exclude interest

Property Operations
Overall, as illustrated in the table below, the Partnership's nine
properties had a combined average occupancy of 68% for the year ended December
31, 2004, as compared to 76% for the fiscal year December 31, 2003, and 81% for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The average monthly rent (not weighted
average) was approximately $402 per home site for the year ended December 31,
2004, as compared to $397 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $384 for the
year ended December 31, 2002. The decline in occupancy is due primarily to an
increase in foreclosures on homes financed by third-party lenders. The rate of
new foreclosures has abated.

income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, plus depreciation, interest
expense, partnership management expense, and other expenses. The Partnership
believes that NOI is useful to investors and the Partnership's management as an
indication of the Partnership's ability to service debt and pay cash
distributions. NOI presented by the Partnership may not be comparable to NOI
reported by other companies that define NOI differently, and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of performance or to
cash flows as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003
Total revenues decreased $1,423,305 to $12,979,388 in 2004, compared to
$14,402,693 in 2003. The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in home
sales as well as in occupancy. The decrease in occupancy is due primarily to
increased foreclosures on home mortgages, which frequently results in the home
being moved out of the property. Rental Revenue decreased $710,200 due to lower
occupancy. Home Sale Revenue decreased $865,703.
The Partnership's operating expenses decreased $686,729, to $11,604,261 in
2004, compared to $12,290,990 in 2003. Home sale expense decreased due to the
decreased volume of home sales.
As a result of the forgoing factors, net income decreased $736,576 from
$2,111,703 in 2003 to $1,375,127 in 2004.
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
Gross revenue increased $661,094 to $14,402,693 in 2003, compared to
$13,741,599 in 2002. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in
home sales. The decrease in occupancy was due primarily to increased
foreclosures on home mortgages, which frequently results in the home being moved
out of the property. Rental Revenue decreased $145,007, due to lower occupancy.
Home Sale Revenue increased $925,624 due to an aggressive marketing of home
sales.
The Partnership's operating expenses increased $667,377, to $12,290,990 in
2003, compared to $11,623,613 in 2002. Home sale expense increased due to the
increased volume of home sales.
As a result of the forgoing factors, net income decreased from $6,283 from
$2,117,986 in 2002 to $2,111,703 in 2003.
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
The General Partner believes it is important to disclose certain recent
events to the Unit Holders along with a description of the actions taken by the
General Partner to respond to the events.
During 2004, industry conditions remained depressed due to the lack of
available retail financing. Declining retail home sales for manufactured homes
and high default rates on chattel mortgage loans for manufactured homes
continued through 2004. The increase in foreclosures has created a surplus of
pre-owned homes for sale in the market place. The availability of pre-owned home
inventory contributed to the reduced purchase of new homes for the industry as a
whole. The Partnership has aggressively pursued home sales by increasing
marketing efforts including but not limited to the addition of sales personnel.
-13-
The surplus of pre-owned homes available in the market has presented an
opportunity for the Partnership to purchase homes at low prices. On a limited
basis, these homes have been purchased by the Partnership and reviewed on a case
by case basis for retail sale. The maximum term of the typical retail contract
provided by the Partnership is ten years, significantly less than is generally
available from retail lenders. This shorter amortization period allows for a
faster return of principal for the Partnership and reduces the risk of loss
through repossession. The total amount of retail loans at this time is not
material relative to the total assets and revenues of the Partnership. The
General Partner believes that its retail sales and finance activity can help
increase occupancy and thereby rental income. To date, the delinquency and
default rates of the retail loans are not significant. However the General
Partner will continue to monitor the portfolio and adjust its underwriting
criteria accordingly.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Partnership is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its
borrowing activities. There is inherent roll over risk for borrowings as they
mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not
quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates
and the Partnership's future financing requirements.
Note Payable: At December 31, 2004 the Partnership had a note payable
outstanding in the amount of $27,340,304. Interest on this note is at a fixed
rate of 6.37% through March 2009.
The Partnership does not enter into financial instruments transactions for
trading or other speculative purposes or to manage its interest rate exposure.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and supplementary data are filed with this
Report:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There has been no change in the Partnership's independent registered
public accounting firm nor have there been any disagreements during the
Partnership's most recent two fiscal years.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Partnership maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
Partnership's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the Partnership's management, including its Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of
"disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a - 14(c). In designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that
any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives,
and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As of the end of
the period covered by this report (the-evaluation date), the Partnership
conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a - 14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 ("the Exchange Act")). Based on this evaluation, the Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the evaluation
date, the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports
we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms.
There was no significant change in the Partnership's internal control over
financial reporting during its most recently completed fiscal year that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal
control over financial reporting.

adopted a code of ethics for the Partnership. A code of ethics has been
established for the Directors, Officers, and Employees of Uniprop. A copy of the
Code of ethics is available at no charge upon request.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Partnership has no executive officers and therefore, no officers
received a salary or remuneration exceeding $100,000 during the last fiscal
year. The General Partner of the Partnership and an affiliate, Uniprop AM, LLC,
received certain compensation and fees during the fiscal year in the amounts
described in Item 13. Depending upon the results of operations and other
factors, the Partnership anticipates that it will provide similar compensation
to the General Partner and Uniprop AM, LLC. during the next fiscal year.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
RELATED UNITHOLDER MATTERS
The Partnership is a limited partnership duly formed pursuant to the
Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended, of the State of Michigan. The
General Partner, Genesis Associates Limited Partnership, is vested with full
authority as to the general management and supervision of business and the other
affairs of the Partnership, subject to certain constraints in the Partnership
Agreement and consulting agreement. Unit holders have no right to participate in

fiscal year. Certain of the following arrangements for compensation and fees
were not determined by arm's length negotiations between the General Partner,
its affiliates and the Partnership.
-17-
Paul M. Zlotoff has an interest in the original sellers of Sunshine
Village and Ardmor Village and is entitled to share in a contingent purchase
price with respect to each Property, when and if the Properties are sold and the
sellers become entitled thereto. The maximum amounts which could be payable to
the sellers are as follows: Sunshine Village, $1,108,260 and Ardmor Village,
$946,236. The cash purchase price and contingent purchase price for each
Property were determined by reference to the average of two independent real
estate appraisals which were obtained by the General Partner. Such appraisals
are only estimates of value and are not necessarily indicative of the actual
real estate value. Each seller will become entitled to any unpaid contingent
purchase price upon the sale, financing or other disposition of each such
Property, but, only after the receipt by each Unit Holder of aggregate
distributions equal to the sum of (i) his 10% cumulative preferred return plus
(ii) 125% of his capital contribution. The actual amounts to be received, if
any, will depend upon the results of the Partnership's operations and the
amounts received upon the sale, financing or other disposition of the Properties
and are not determinable at this time. The Partnership does not anticipate any
such amount will become payable during the next fiscal year.
The Partnership will pay an Incentive Management Interest to the General
Partner for managing the Partnership's affairs, including: determining
distributions, negotiating agreements, selling or financing properties,
preparing records and reports, and performing other ongoing Partnership
responsibilities. This incentive management interest is 15% of distributable
cash from operations in any quarter. However, in each quarter, the General
Partner's right to receive any net cash from operations is subordinated to the
extent necessary to first provide each Unit Holder his 10% cumulative preferred
return. During the last fiscal year, the General Partner received no
distributions on account of its Incentive Management Interest from operations
because distributions were approximately $2,613,000 less than the 10% cumulative
preferred return due Unit Holders. Any such amounts of Incentive Management
Interest unpaid in a taxable year will be accumulated and paid from
distributable cash from capital transactions, but only after each Unit Holder
has first received his 10% cumulative preferred return and 125% of his capital
contribution. For 2004, approximately $500,000 was accumulated for the General
Partner, and the General Partner's aggregate accumulated Incentive Management
Interest as of December 2004 was $9,900,000. The actual Incentive Management
Interest from operations to be accumulated or paid during the next fiscal year
will depend upon the results of the Partnership's operations and is not
determinable at this time. The Partnership does not anticipate any such amount
will be distributed to the General Partner during the next fiscal year and will
again be accumulated with payment deferred. No distributions of Incentive
Management Interest may be made to the General Partner until the 10% cumulative
preferred return of approximately $32,854,000, as of December 31, 2004, is first
distributed to the Unit Holders. In February of 1994, as part of the 1993
mortgage financing with mortgage backed securities held with Bankers Trust,
$23,119,767 was distributed to the Unit Holders, $13,572,978 of which eliminated
the Unit Holders' preferred return deficit through December 31, 1993.
The Partnership must also pay an Incentive Management Interest from
capital transactions to the General Partner for its services rendered to the
Partnership. The
-18-
General Partner will be entitled to receive its share of distributable cash from
capital transactions after (i) each Unit Holder has received aggregate
distributions in an amount equal to the sum of (a) his 10% cumulative preferred
return plus (b) 125% of his capital contribution, (ii) any contingent purchase
prices have been paid, and (iii) any property disposition fees to Uniprop AM,
LLC have been paid. The General Partner's share of distributable cash from
capital transactions so payable will be (i) 100% of such distributable cash from
capital distributions until the General Partner's share of the aggregate capital
distributions made under section 11c(iii) and 11c(v) of the Partnership
Agreement equal 25% and (ii) thereafter, 25% of such distributable cash from
capital transactions. No Incentive Management Interest from capital transactions
was paid to the General Partner for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The
Partnership does not anticipate that any such amounts will be paid or become
payable to the General Partner during the next fiscal year.
Uniprop AM, LLC received and will receive property management fees for
each Property managed by it. Uniprop AM, LLC is primarily responsible for the
day-to-day management of the Properties and for the payment of the costs of
operating each Property out of the rental income collected. The property
management fees are equal to the lesser of 5% of the annual gross receipts from
the Properties managed by Uniprop AM, LLC, or the amount which would be payable
to an unaffiliated third party for comparable services. During the last fiscal
year, Uniprop AM, LLC received property management fees totaling $584,865. The
actual amounts to be received during the next fiscal year will depend upon the
results of the Partnership's operations and are not determinable at this time.
Certain employees of affiliates of the General Partner were paid an
aggregate of $116,571 during 2004 to perform local management, data processing
and investor relation services for the Partnership. It is anticipated comparable
amounts will be paid in the next fiscal year. Uniprop Homes, Inc., a related
entity, received commissions totaling $58,711 for certain services provided as a
broker/dealer of manufactured homes for the communities. Uniprop Homes, Inc.
represented the communities in the sale of new and pre-owned homes to community
residents.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners
Uniprop Manufactured Housing
Communities Income Fund II
(a Michigan limited partnership)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets Uniprop Manufactured Housing
Communities Income Fund II (a Michigan limited partnership), as of December 31,
2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income, partners' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These
financial statements are the 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 the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that me appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements. 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 Uniprop Manufactured Housing
Communities Income Fund II at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America
Also, in our opinion, the schedule listed under Item 15 of Form 10-K presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
