REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners
Seneca Falls East Apartments Company II, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Seneca Falls East Apartments Company II, L.P., as of December 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards of the Public 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 misstatement. The partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audit provides 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 Seneca Falls East Apartments Company II, L.P. as of December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SENECA FALLS EAST APARTMENTS COMPANY II, L.P.
RD PROJECT NO. 37-050-161505050
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Seneca Falls East Apartments Company II, L.P. was formed as a Limited Partnership in November 1997 to purchase, renovate and operate Senaca Falls East Apartments, a low and moderate income housing project in Seneca Falls, New York. The apartments (32 units) were available for lease in November 1997.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The Partnership prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Receivables
The Partnership considers receivables to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If accounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.
Property and Equipment
Depreciation of the buildings is provided by the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Depreciation of the equipment and fixtures is provided for by the double declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $35,107.
Rental Income
Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Partnership and the tenants of the property are operating leases.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Since a partnership is not subject to income taxes, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. The taxable income or loss of the Partnership, however, is includable in the individual income tax returns of its respective partners.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs, except for costs associated with direct-response advertising, are charged to operations when incurred. The costs of direct-response advertising are capitalized and amortized over the period during which future benefits are expected to be received.
NOTE C - RESTRICTED DEPOSITS AND FUNDED RESERVES
Tenant security deposits are held in a separate bank account in the name of the project. Interest earned on such deposits is credited to the individual tenants.
Restricted deposits and funded reserves are cash deposits, which have been placed into escrow accounts, and these deposits are not available for general business purposes.
All cash deposits are maintained in several banks located in New York State, which do not exceed and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits of $100,000.
NOTE D - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable at December 31, 2007 consists of the following:

NOTE K - CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
The Partnership's sole asset is a 32-unit apartment project. The Partnership's operations are concentrated in the multi-family real estate market. In addition, the Partnership operates in a heavily regulated environment. The operations of the project are subject to the administrative directives, rules, and regulations of Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies. Such administrative directives, rules, and regulations are subject to change by an act of Congress or an administrative change mandated by Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies. Such changes may occur with little notice or inadequate funding to pay for the related cost, including the additional burden to comply with a change.
NOTE L - CONTINGENCY
The Partnership's low-income housing credits are contingent on its ability to maintain compliance with applicable sections of Internal Revenue Code Section 42. Failure to maintain compliance with occupant eligibility, and/or unit gross rent or to correct noncompliance within a specified time period could result in the recapture of tax credits previously taken plus interest. In addition, such potential noncompliance may require an adjustment to the contributed capital by the Limited Partners.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Seneca Falls East Apartments Company II, L.P.'s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Partnership's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Partnership's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the Partnership's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the Partnership's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Seneca Falls East Apartments Company II, L.P.'s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended for the information and use of the partners, management and the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Housing Services and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specific parties.
