Background of the Restatement
Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership – II (together with its subsidiaries, the “Partnership,” “we”, “us,” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amended Filing”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Original Filing”) to: (1) include the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm omitted from the Original Filing; (ii) reflect the restatement of the Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 for the corrections described below; (iii) add certain risk factors associated with ownership of units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership; (iv) identify change in the officers and directors of the Partnership; (iv) remove certain prior disclosures. As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2014, the Partnership engaged Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. as the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The adjustments to the Consolidated Statement of Operations for period ended December 31, 2013, are primarily comprised of an increase in the equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture of about $63,000 and reclassifications to the balance sheet for prepaid portfolio management fees of approximately $14,000. There were also approximately $22,000 in additional expenses accrued, including about $10,000 in additional professional fees. There were also revisions made to correct mathematical errors on Consolidated Statement of Operations for the period ended December 31, 2013 included in the Original Filing. There were no changes to the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the period ended December 31, 2012.
The adjustments to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the period ended December 31, 2013 are primarily related to the change in equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture as well as the prepaid portfolio management fees and the additional payables in 2013. There were no changes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the period ended December 31, 2012.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended December 31, 2013 was restated for the same items that impacted the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Balance Sheet for the same period. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended December 31, 2012 was not impacted.
Implementation of the Restatement
This Amended Filing restates fiscal 2013 Consolidated Financial Statement for adjustments resulting from an understatement of equity interest in unconsolidated joint venture, portfolio management fee expense, other miscellaneous administrative expenses and corresponding overstatement of Net Loss and Net Loss per limited partnership unit. The annual adjustments made as a result of the restatement of our Consolidated Financial Statements are more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part IV, Item 2 of this Amended Filing.
Items Amended
This Amended Filing amends the Original Filing solely to reflect the changes described above. For the convenience of the reader, this Amended Filing sets for the Original Filing, as modified and superseded where necessary to reflect the restatement and other changes indicated.

PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
The Registrant, Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-II (“the Partnership”), is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1982 pursuant to a First Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), under the Revised Delaware Uniform Limited Partnership Act. At December 31, 2013, the Partnership’s general partners are Realmark Properties, Inc. (the “Corporate General Partner”), a Delaware corporation, and Joseph M. Jayson (the “Individual General Partner”).
Joseph M. Jayson passed away on June 27, 2014. A successor Individual General Partner was not appointed following Mr. Jayson’s death.
The Registrant commenced the public offering of its limited partnership units, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on September 3, 1982, and concluded the offering on August 31, 1983, having raised a total of $10,000,000 before deducting sales commissions and expenses of the offering.
The Partnership’s primary business and its only industry segment is to own and operate income-producing real property for the benefit of its partners. At December 31, 2013, the Partnership, owned an office complex in Michigan (Northwind Office Park), and is a partner in two joint ventures. It has a 50% interest in Research Triangle Industrial Park Joint Venture and Research Triangle Land Joint Venture, both in Durham County, North Carolina. In July 2006, the land associated with the Research Land Joint Venture was sold to an unaffiliated party. Additionally, in December 2006, the office complex known as Research Triangle in Durham, North Carolina was sold to an unaffiliated party. The only remaining property, Northwind Office Park, is currently being actively marketed for sale.
The business of the Partnership is not seasonal and it competes on the basis of rental rates and property operations with similar types of properties in vicinities in which the partnership’s properties are located. The Partnership has no real property investments located outside the United States. The Partnership does not segregate revenue or assets by geographic region, since, in management’s view, such a presentation would not be significant to an understanding of the Partnership’s business or financial results taken as a whole. As of December 31, 2013, the Partnership did not directly employ any persons in a full-time position. All persons who regularly rendered services on behalf of the Partnership through December 31, 2013 were employees of the Corporate General Partner or its affiliates.
Northwind Office Park represents 100% of the Partnership’s revenue generated for the last five years, before the Partnership’s equity interest in unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Partnership has a 50% interest in the unconsolidated joint venture in Realmark Research, LLC (known as Research Triangle Industrial Park Joint Venture). Realmark Research, LLC (Research), advanced a portion of its sales proceeds up to $1,066,719 to an affiliate under a Memorandum of Understanding Agreement dated December 8, 2006. Under the terms of this agreement, the affiliate agrees to repay this loan plus interest at a rate of 8% per annum, upon the sale of a remaining property, which is currently being marketed for sale.
This annual report contains certain forward-looking statements concerning the Partnership’s current expectations as to future results. Words such as “believes”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “possible”, “expects”, “estimates”, “anticipates” or “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements may not ultimately turn out to be accurate due to, among other things, economic or market conditions or the failure of the Partnership to sell an investment that is under contract.

Investors or potential investors in Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership - II should carefully consider the risks described below. These risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks of which we are presently unaware or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations and hinder our financial performance, including our ability to make distributions to our investors. We have organized our summary of these risks into five subsections:
●
|
real estate related risks;
|
●
|
financing risks;
|
●
|
tax risks;
|
●
|
environmental and other legal risks; and
|
●
|
risks for investors.
|
This section includes forward-looking statements.
Real Estate Related Risks
We face substantial competition
All of our properties are located in developed areas where we face substantial competition from other properties and from other real estate companies that own or may develop or renovate competing properties. The number of competitive properties and real estate companies could have a material adverse effect on our ability to rent our properties and the rents we charge. In addition, the activities of these competitors and these factors could:
●
|
decrease the rental rates that we would be able to charge in the absence of such direct competition; and
|
●
|
reduce the occupancy rates that we would otherwise be able to achieve.
|
The factors could materially and adversely affect the value of our portfolio, our results of operations and our ability to pay amounts due on our debt and distributions to our investors.
Changes in market or economic conditions may affect our business negatively
General economic conditions and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect real property income and capital appreciation. We are unable to determine the precise effect that the performance of the worldwide or United States economies will have on us or on the value of our property.
Terrorism could impair our business
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Attacks that directly affect one or more of our commercial properties could significantly affect our ability to operate those properties and impair our ability to achieve the results we expect. Our insurance coverage may not cover any losses caused by a terrorist attack. In addition, the adverse effects that such violent acts and threats of future attacks could have on the United States economy could similarly have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
4
Our operating revenues from our commercial and office properties depend on entering into leases with and collecting rents from tenants. Economic conditions may adversely affect tenants and potential tenants in our market and, accordingly, could affect their ability to pay rents and possibly to occupy their space. Tenants may experience bankruptcies and various bankruptcy laws may reject those leases or terminate them. If leases expire or end, replacement tenants may not be available upon acceptable terms and conditions. In addition, if the market rental rates are lower than the previous contractual rates, our cash flows and net income could suffer a negative impact. As a result, if a significant number of our commercial or office tenants fail to pay their rent due to bankruptcy, weakened financial condition or otherwise, it would negatively affect our financial performance.
Real estate properties are illiquid and may be difficult to sell, particularly in a poor market environment
Real estate investments are relatively illiquid, which tends to limit our ability to react promptly to changes in economic or other market conditions. Our ability to dispose of assets in the future will depend on prevailing economic and market conditions.
Losses from natural catastrophes may exceed our insurance coverage
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance on our properties, which we believe is customary in amount and type for real property assets. Some losses, however, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses from floods, may be subject to limitations. We may not be able to maintain our insurance at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against potential losses. Further, our insurance costs could increase in future periods. If we suffer a substantial loss, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement value of the lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors also might make it impractical to use insurance proceeds to replace a damaged or destroyed property.
Financing Risks
We may be unable to refinance our existing debt or we may only be able to do so on unfavorable terms
We are subject to the normal risks associated with debt financing, including:
●
|
the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; and
|
●
|
the risk that we will not be able to renew, repay or refinance our debt when it matures or that the terms of any renewal or refinancing will not be as favorable as the existing terms of that debt.
|
Tax Risks
Our operating partnership may fail to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes
Management believes that our operating partnership qualifies, and has qualified since its formation as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and not as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. We can provide no assurance, however, that the IRS will not challenge the treatment of the operating partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating the operating partnership as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, then the taxable income of the operating partnership would be taxable at regular corporate income tax rates.
You may be allocated more taxable income than the distributions, if any, you receive from us.
So long as the Partnership remains eligible to be taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Rather, each holder of our units of limited partnership interest is required to take into account its allocable share of items of our income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for our taxable year ending within or with the taxable year of such holder in computing such holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, and, in some cases, state and local income tax liability, and to pay taxes thereon, regardless of whether the holder has received any distributions from us. Given that we do not currently intend to distribute cash to holders of our units of limited partnership interest, it is possible that the U.S. federal income tax liability, and in some cases, state and local income tax liability, of a holder of our units of limited partnership interest with respect to its allocable share of our earnings in a particular taxable year will exceed the cash distributions, if any, we make to the holder for the year, thus requiring an out-of-pocket tax payment by the holder.
5
Environmental and Other Legal Risks
We may have liability under environmental laws
Under federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be required to investigate and clean up the effects of releases of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at our properties, regardless of our knowledge or responsibility, simply because of our current or past ownership or operation of the real estate. Therefore, we may have liability with respect to properties we have already sold. If environmental problems arise, we may have to take extensive measures to remedy the problems, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay distributions to our investors because:
●
|
we may have to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination;
|
●
|
the law typically imposes clean-up responsibility and liability regardless of whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the contamination;
|
●
|
even if more than one person may be responsible for the contamination, each person who shares legal liability under the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs; and
|
●
|
governmental entities or other third parties may sue the owner or operator of a contaminated site for damages and costs.
|
These costs could be substantial and in extreme cases could exceed the value of the contaminated property. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products and the failure to remediate that contamination properly may materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or rent an affected property. In addition, applicable environmental laws create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with a contamination.
We may face risks related to mold and asbestos
Recently, there has been an increasing number of lawsuits against owners and managers of properties alleging personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold in real estate.
Some of these lawsuits have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. Although our insurance policy currently does not exclude mold-related claims, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain coverage in the future for those claims at a commercially reasonable price or at all. The presence of significant mold could expose us to liability to tenants and others if allegations regarding property damage, health concerns or similar claims arise.
Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos. Those laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos:
●
|
properly manage and maintain the asbestos;
|
●
|
notify and train those who may come into contact with asbestos; and
|
●
|
undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, if asbestos would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building.
|
Those laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow others to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.
6
Failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act or other similar laws could result in substantial costs
A number of federal, state and local laws and regulations (including the Americans with Disabilities Act) may require modifications to existing buildings or restrict certain renovations by requiring improved access to such buildings by disabled persons and may require other structural features that add to the cost of buildings under construction. Legislation or regulations adopted in the future may impose further burdens or restrictions on us with respect to improved access by disabled persons. The costs of compliance with these laws and regulations may be substantial, and restrictions on construction or completion of renovations may limit implementation of our investment strategy in certain instances or reduce overall returns on our investments, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to pay distributions to investors and to pay amounts due on our debt.
Risks for Investors
We currently do not anticipate making, and it is possible we may never make, any distributions to holders of our units of partnership interest.
We currently do not anticipate making any distributions to holders of our units of limited partnership interest at any time in the near future other than following the anticipated sale of the Partnership’s properties. Additionally, it is possible that we may never make any distributions to holders of our units of limited partnership interest at any time in the future. Whether we make distributions in the future will be at the discretion of our corporate general partner and will be reduced by the amount of fees payable to plaintiffs’ legal counsel in connection with the settlement of prior legal proceedings and dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and any other factors that our corporate general partner decides are relevant. As such, investors seeking cash distributions should not purchase our units of limited partnership interest. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our units of limited partnership interest unless you are able to sell our units of limited partnership interest for a price greater than that which you paid for it. For a description of prior legal proceedings, see Item 3 to this Amended Filing.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2: PROPERTIES
As of December 31, 2013, the Partnership owned Northwind Office Park, an office complex located in East Lansing, Michigan. The property consists of five office buildings containing a total of 89,200 gross square feet, and 70,713 net rentable square feet. The 2013 and 2012 year-end occupancy rates were 47% and 47%, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, there is no mortgage loan on the Northwind property.
The Research Triangle Industrial Park Joint Venture owned an 117,000 square foot office/warehouse distribution building in Raleigh, North Carolina. The property’s sole tenant, whose lease expired June 30, 2006, vacated the facility upon expiration of the lease. In December 2006, the property was sold and the first mortgage on the property was paid in full.
The Research Triangle Land Joint Venture owned unencumbered land near the site of Research Triangle Industrial Park Joint Venture’s building. In July 2006, the land was sold for a purchase price of $1,371,704.
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously reported, the Partnership, as a nominal defendant, the general partners of the Partnership and of affiliated public partnerships, (the “Realmark Partnerships”) and the officers and directors of the Corporate General Partner, as defendants, had been involved in a class action litigation at the state court level regarding the payment of fees and other management issues.
On August 29, 2001, the parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (the “Settlement”). On October 4, 2001, the Court issued an “Order Preliminary Approving Settlement” (the “Hearing Order”) and on November 29, 2001, the Court issued an “Order and Final Judgment Approving Settlement and Awarding Fees and Expenses” and dismissing the complaints with prejudice. The Settlement provided, among other things, that all of the Realmark Partnerships’ properties be disposed of. The general partners will continue to have primary authority to dispose of the Partnerships’ properties. If either (i) the general partners have not sold or contracted to sell 50% of the Partnerships’ properties (by value) by April 2, 2002 or (ii) the general partners have not sold or contracted to sell 100% of the Partnerships’ properties by September 29, 2002, then the primary authority to dispose of the Partnerships’ properties will pass to a sales agent designated by plaintiffs’ counsel and approved by the Court. On October 4, 2002, the Court appointed a sales agent to work with the general partners to continue to sell the Partnership’s remaining properties.
7
The settlement also provided for the payment by the Partnerships of fees to the plaintiffs’ attorneys. These payments, which are not calculable at this time but may be significant, are payable out of the proceeds from the sale of all of the properties owned by all of the Realmark Partnerships, following the sale of the last of these properties in each partnership. Plaintiff’s counsel will receive 15% of the amount by which the sales proceeds distributable to limited partners in each partnership exceeds the value of the limited partnership units in each partnership (based on the weighted average of the units’ trading prices on the secondary market as reported by Partnership Spectrum for the period May through June 2001). In no event may the increase on which the fees are calculated exceed 100% of the market value of the units as calculated above.
ITEM 4: SUBMISSIONS OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.

PART II
ITEM 5: MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
There is currently no active trading market for the units of limited partnership interest of the Partnership and it is not anticipated that any will develop in the future. Accordingly, information as to the market value of a unit at any given date is not available. As of December 31, 2013, there were 878 record holders of units of limited partnership interest.
The Partnership is a limited partnership and, accordingly, does not pay dividends. It does, however, make distributions of cash to its partners. The partnership agreement provides for the distribution to the partners of net cash flow from operations. All future distributions of net cash from sales proceeds will be distributed, to the extent available, 100% to the limited partners until there has been a return of the limited partner’s capital contribution plus an amount sufficient to provide a 7%, not compounded, return on their adjusted capital contributions for all years following the termination of the offering of the units. It is anticipated that there will be sufficient cash flow from the sale of the Partnership’s remaining properties to provide this return to the limited partners. There were no distributions to partners made in 2013 and 2012.
The gain on the sale of the properties will be allocated in the same proportions as distributions of distributable cash from sale proceeds (anticipated to be 100% to the limited partners). In the event there is no distributable cash from sale proceeds, taxable income will be allocated 86% to the limited partners and 14% to the general partners. Any tax loss arising from a sale will be allocated 97% to the limited partners and 3% to the general partners. The above is subject to tax laws that were applicable at the time of the formation of the Partnership and may be adjusted due to subsequent changes in the Internal Revenue Code.
9
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Effective January 1, 2001, management began formally marketing all remaining properties in the Partnership for sale. The Partnership made no distributions to partners in 2013 or 2012. In connection with the pending sale of the Partnership’s properties, it is anticipated that there will be no future distributions of net cash flow from operations. If there are any distributions as a result of the pending sale itself they will be reduced by the amount of fees payable to the plaintiffs’ legal counsel in connection with the settlement agreement (Item 3) and any outstanding liabilities incurred with regard to the sale of the Partnership’s properties.
Subsequent to December 31, 2013, management has retained national representation to market the Northwind Office Park property for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current market value. While the remaining property has been actively managed during a period of depressed real estate values, the sale of the asset is probable and it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. As a result, the accounting is expected to change to show the property as an asset as held for sale. This does not impact the accounting treatment of the property as of the date of these financials.
Limited partners should be aware that it is possible that they will receive an allocation of income from gain on sale of properties on which they will be required to pay income taxes and there is no assurance that cash distributions from the sale of the properties will be sufficient to satisfy these obligations.
Except as described above and in the consolidated financial statements, the general partner is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties that may impact liquidity in a material way.
Results of Operations:
The results of operations of the Partnership, excluding equity in earnings from joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, produced a net loss of $185,373 and $103,661, respectively
Inflation has been consistently low during the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements and, as a result, has not had a significant effect on the operations of the Partnership or its properties.
2013 as compared to 2012
Rental Income decreased approximately $56,000 due to an increase in vacancies.
Total expense increased approximately $ 25,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
10
The Partnership owns 50% of a Joint Venture, which owned the Research Triangle Industrial Park West, an office/warehouse facility located in Durham County, North Carolina, which was sold in December 2006. The investment is accounted for under the equity method and the resulting income increased approximately $48,000 in 2013 from 2012.
ITEM 8: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Listed under Item 15 of this report.
ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The Partnership received written correspondence from its independent registered public accounting firm, Malin, Bergquist & Company, LLP, in November 2013 that it was resigning as the Partnership's Independent Auditor. The stated reason was that the firm had merged, and determined that Realmark did not fit in with its direction of the merged practice.
During the Partnership’s most recent fiscal year and during any subsequent interim periods preceding the date of resignation, the Partnership had no disagreement with Malin, Bergquist & Company, LLP, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
No accountant's report on the financial statements for the past two (2) years contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
On March 10, 2014 the Partnership provided Malin, Bergquist & Company, LLP with a copy of this disclosure and requested that it furnish a letter to the Partnership, addressed to the SEC, stating that it agreed with the statements made here-in or the reasons why it disagreed. On March 10, 2014, the Partnership received a letter from Malin, Bergquist & Company, LLP that it agreed with the statements contained herein. A copy of the letter from Malin, Bergquist & Company, LLP was attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 12, 2014.
The Partnership then engaged EFP Rotenberg, LLP, 280 Kenneth Dr. #100, Rochester, NY 14623 (“EFP Rotenberg”) as the Partnership's new independent registered public accounting firm.
On April 23, 2014, the Partnership received written correspondence from its independent registered public accounting firm, EFP Rotenberg that it was resigning as the Partnership's Independent Auditor. As reported in an 8-K filed on March 10, 2014, EFP Rotenberg was recently retained to perform the 2013 audit for the Partnership. The firm did not complete the 2013 audit and, accordingly, has not issued a report on the Partnership’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
During the Partnership's fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and through April 23, 2014, there were no disagreements between the Partnership and EFP Rotenberg on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to EFP Rotenberg's satisfaction, would have caused EFP Rotenberg to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in its reports on the Partnership's financial statement for such years. During the Partnership's fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and through April 23, 2014, there were no "reportable events" as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
11
ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE (continued)
The Partnership provided EFP Rotenberg with a copy of the disclosure contained in the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 13, 2014 and requested that EFP Rotenberg furnish the Partnership with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether EFP Rotenberg agrees with the contents of this disclosure. A copy of that letter, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 31, 2014.
The Partnership has engaged Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. (“Freed Maxick”), 424 Main Street, Suite 800 Buffalo NY 14202 as the Partnership's new independent registered public accounting firm. During the Partnership's fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and through April 23, 2014, the Partnership did not consult with Freed Maxick on any matter that (i) involved the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Partnership's financial statements, in each case where either a written report or oral advice was provided that Freed Maxick concluded was an important factor considered by the Partnership in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Partnership maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Partnership’s management, including the Partnership’s Principle Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, the Partnership’s Principle Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such period end. Management will endeavor to enhance the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures to cause them to become effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management of the Partnership is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over reporting in accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013.
12
Because of the Partnership’s small size and limited financial resources, there is a limited number of persons, including the Principle Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, dealing with all general administrative and financial matters. While management utilizes outside resources when necessary, this lack of segregation of duties, as well as lack of expertise with complex GAAP and SEC reporting matters, constitute material weaknesses in financial reporting. These material weaknesses have also resulted in the correction of errors and amended 10-K discussed elsewhere in this document. At this time, management has decided that given the risks associated with this lack of segregation of duties, the potential benefit of adding additional personnel to clearly segregate duties does not justify the expenses associated with such benefit. Management will periodically review this matter and may make modifications, including adding additional personnel, it determines appropriate. In response to these material weaknesses, subsequent to December 31, 2013 management made staffing changes, such as replacing the Controller, and hiring consultants to assist in preparation of the financials. However, these changes have still not completely remediated the material weaknesses identified and reported.
Our management, including the Principle Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls, can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation, there have been no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Jayson had been in the real estate business for the last 49 years and was a Certified Property Manager as designated by the Institute of Real Estate Management (“I.R.E.M.”). Mr. Jayson received a B.S. Degree in Education in 1961 from Indiana University, a Master’s Degree from the University of Buffalo in 1963, and had served on the educational faculty of the Institute of Real Estate Management. Mr. Jayson had for the last 49 years been engaged in various aspects of real estate brokerage and investment.

Audit Committee Disclosure
At December 31, 2013, a separately-designated standing Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner was comprised of Joseph M. Jayson (the “Audit Committee”). Following Mr. Jayson’s death on June 27, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner no longer maintains a separately-designated audit committee. The Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner also does not maintain nominating or compensation committees, or other similar committees. Consequently, the Board of Director of the Corporate General Partner does not have audit, nominating, or compensation committee charters. Functions customarily performed by such committees are performed by the Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner as a whole as our operations are limited and we have a small number of officers and directors. We are not required to maintain such committees under the applicable rules of the OTC Bulletin Board, and the Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner has no current plans to establish such committees. None of the directors of the Corporate General Partner qualify as an “audit committee financial expert.”
Code of Ethics
The Partnership has adopted a code of ethics for the partners, principal financial officer, and employees of the Corporate General Partner or its affiliates who render services on behalf of the Partnership. The Partnership will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the code of ethics, which is available from:

The Corporate General Partner and its affiliate, Realmark Corporation, are entitled to fees and to certain expense reimbursements with respect to Partnership operations, as set forth in Item 13 hereof and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 12: SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The Audit Committee, with respect to fiscal year 2012, and the Board of Directors, with respect to 2013, reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Partnership’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner, as applicable, under generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from management and the Partnership, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board, and considered the scope and type of non-audit services provided by the auditor when reviewing the compatibility of those non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.
The Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner discussed with the Partnership’s independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner meets with the independent auditors to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluations of the Partnership’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Partnership’s financial reporting.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Board of Directors of the Corporate General Partner have approved the inclusion of the Partnership’s audited financial statements in the amendment #1 to the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership – II
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership - II (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ equity, 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 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 misstatement. The Partnership 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 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership - II as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership has restated its previously unaudited 2013 financial statements as a result of an increase in the Equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture and a change in payables to affiliates, resulting in an understatement of net loss, assets and liabilities.
As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership has had numerous significant transactions with businesses controlled by, and with people who are related to, the general partner, officers and directors of the Partnership.

Formation and Operation of Partnership
|
Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership - II (the Partnership) is a Delaware limited partnership formed on March 25, 1982, to invest in a diversified portfolio of income producing real estate investments.
In 1982 and 1983, the Partnership sold, through a public offering, 10,000 units of limited partnership interest. At December 31, 2013, the general partners were Realmark Properties, Inc. (the Corporate General Partner) and Joseph M. Jayson (the Individual General Partner) who was the sole shareholder of J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc. Realmark Properties, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc. Joseph M. Jayson passed away on June 27, 2014. A successor Individual General Partner was not appointed following Mr. Jayson’s death.
Under the partnership agreement, the general partners and their affiliates can receive compensation for services rendered, and reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership (note 6).
(2) Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
We have restated our Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Partner’s Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily for the increase in the equity interest in unconsolidated joint venture arising from additional interest accrued on affiliated debt within the joint venture. The statements also changed for corrections in the accruals of portfolio management fees, Audit fees and some miscellaneous accrued expenses and reclassification of affiliated receivables to reflect prepaid amounts. The cumulative adjustments to correct the consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to December 31, 2013 were immaterial and are recorded as adjustments in the 2013 statements. Adjustments were made to equity interest in unconsolidated joint venture and accrued interest on the joint venture for the year ended December 31, 2013, the cumulative effect of the adjustments increased previously reported equity interest in unconsolidated joint venture for the year ended December 31, 2013 by $63,378. Portfolio management fees of approximately $14,000 were reclassified as prepaid expense and about $22,000 in additional Property Management fee and professional fees were accrued. In addition, revisions were made to correct mathematical errors in the originally filed statement.
The restated financials statements therefore, include various reclassifications to present the consolidated statement of operations on a consistent basis with historical financial statements. The total expenses reported where overstated by $14,481. The Loss before equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was understated by $8,815 and the Net Loss was overstated by $54,563. The Net Loss per limited partnership unit was overstated by $5.29.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
(a)
|
Basis of Accounting and Consolidation
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiary, Realmark/Foxhunt Limited Partnership, a dormant company. The Partnership owns Northwind Office Park.
In consolidation, all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
(b)
|
Estimates
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c)
|
Receivables and Bad Debt
|
The Partnership uses the allowance method for uncollectible accounts. Charges to this account are made on a case-by-case basis. Increases or decreases to the allowance are charged to bad debt expense. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, bad debt expense was $0 and $4,290, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0 and $77,045, respectively.

|
(d)
|
Property and Equipment
|
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, from 5 to 25 years. Significant improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance, repairs and replacements are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate property accounts are reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation and gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Partnership reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In determining whether there is an impairment of long-lived assets, the Partnership compares the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to the carrying amount of the assets. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, no impairment in value has been recognized.
(e)
|
Concentrations of Credit Risk
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalent accounts in financial institutions. Although the accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, management does not anticipate nonperformance by the financial institution.
(f)
|
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
|
The Partnership’s investment in Research Triangle Industrial Park Joint Venture and Research Triangle Land Joint Venture are unconsolidated joint ventures, which are accounted for on the equity method. These joint ventures are not consolidated in the Partnership’s financial statements because the Partnership is not the controlling owner.
(g)
|
Rental Income
|
Rental income is recognized as earned according to the terms of the leases. Commercial leases are generally for periods of one to five years. Delinquent residential property rent is not recorded.

(h)
|
Per Unit Data
|
Per limited partnership unit is based on the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding for the year. There are no potentially dilutive instruments outstanding.
(i)
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|
Due to the short-term nature and interest rates that approximate market rates, the fair value of the Partnership’s financial instruments approximated their carrying values at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
(j)
|
Income Allocation and Distributable Cash Flow
|
The partnership agreement provides that income not arising from sale and refinancing activities and all partnership losses are to be allocated 97% to the limited partners and 3% to the general partners. Partnership income arising from sale or refinancing activities is allocated in the same proportion as distributions of distributable cash from sale proceeds. In the event there is no distributable cash from sale proceeds, taxable income will be allocated 87% to the limited partners and 13% to the general partners. The above is subject to tax laws that were applicable at the time of the formation of the Partnership and may be adjusted due to subsequent changes in the Internal Revenue Code.
The partnership agreement also provides for the distribution to the partners of net cash flow from operations. Sale or refinancing proceeds are distributed to the extent available, 100% to the limited partners until there has been a return of the limited partner’s capital contribution plus an amount sufficient to provide a 7%, not compounded, return on their adjusted capital contributions for all years following the termination of the offering of the units. It is anticipated that there will be sufficient cash flow from the sale of the Partnership’s remaining properties to provide this return to the limited partners. There were no distributions to partners made in 2012 and 2013.
(k)
|
Income Taxes
|
As a limited partnership, the Company's taxable income or loss is allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability if the Company has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state, or local tax authorities for years before 2010.

Segment Information
|
The Partnership’s operating segments all involve the ownership and operation of income-producing real property and are aggregated into one reporting segment.
(m)
|
Reclassifications
|
Certain 2012 amounts have been reclassified to reflect a consistent presentation with 2013. This change had no effect on previously reported net loss.

|
Investments in Real Estate
|
Effective January 1, 2001, the Partnership entered into a plan to dispose of the property of Northwind Office Park. The carrying value of the assets of Northwind Office Park amounts to $1,003,086 and $997,657 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The property generated a net loss of $185,373 and $103,661 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, based on market conditions, there was not an active program in place to sell the assets and they were not being actively marketed for sale. Accordingly, the assets have not been classified as assets held for sale. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, a real estate agent was retained and the assets are being actively marketed and a subsequent sale is probable. Accordingly, the classification is expected to change for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
|
The Partnership has a 50% interest in a Joint Venture with Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership - VI A (RPILP-VIA), an entity affiliated through common general partners. The Joint Venture owned and operated the Research Triangle Industrial Park Joint Venture, an office/warehouse complex located in Durham, North Carolina, which was sold in 2008. The Joint Venture agreement provides that any income, loss, gain, cash flow, or sale proceeds be allocated 50% to the Partnership and 50% to RPILP - VI A.

In 1992, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the Adaron Group to form the Research Triangle Land Joint Venture. The primary purpose of this joint venture is to develop the undeveloped land on the site of Research Triangle Industrial Park West. This land was placed into the Land Joint Venture by Research Triangle Industrial Park West. The ownership of the joint venture is 50% attributable to Adaron Group and 50% to the Partnership. The value allocated to the land in this joint venture upon acquisition was $412,500. In 2001, a portion of the land was sold for a gain of $180,199. The Partnership’s remaining investment in the land amounted to $108,997 at December 31, 2005. In July 2006, the remaining land was sold for a purchase price of $1,371,704. The Partnership received a distribution in the amount of $711,314 related to the sale of the land. There are two purchase money notes totaling $143,312. The Partnership’s basis in the investment in the land has been adjusted to approximately 67% of the remaining partner’s equity, which amounted to $21,182 and $21,182 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Related Party Transactions, Continued
|
In addition to the above, other property specific expenses such as payroll, benefits, etc. are charged to property operations on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations. Certain receivables from affiliated parties are payable on demand and bear interest at 8% in 2013 and 2012.
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership has receivables from affiliates amounting to $178,564 and $110, respectively. The $178,564 receivable at December 31, 2013 consists of an advance to the unconsolidated joint venture of $170,000 and 8,564 of other corporate affiliated balances. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership has equity interest in unconsolidated joint ventures of $ 1,190,589 and 1,127,894, respectively.
Memorandum of Understanding
The Partnership has a 50% interest in the unconsolidated joint venture in Realmark Research, LLC (known as Research Triangle Industrial Park Joint Venture). Realmark Research, LLC (Research) advanced a portion of its sales proceeds in the amount of $1,066,719 to an affiliate under a Memorandum of Understanding Agreement dated December 8, 2006. Under the terms of this agreement, the affiliate agrees to repay this loan plus interest at a rate of 8% per annum, upon the sale of a remaining property, which is currently being marketed for sale. The outstanding balance, including accrued interest, related to this loan amounted to $1,647,832 and $1,521,076 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Property Disposition Fee
According to the terms of the partnership agreement, the general partners are also allowed to collect a property disposition fee upon sale of acquired properties. This fee is not to exceed the lesser of 50% of amounts customarily charged in arm’s-length transactions by others rendering similar services for comparable properties or 3% of the sales price. The property disposition fee is subordinate to payments to the limited partners of a cumulative annual return (not compounded) equal to 7% of their average adjusted capital balances and to repayment to the limited partners of an amount equal to their original capital contributions. Since these conditions described above have not been met, no disposition fees have been paid or accrued on properties sold in prior years.

Settlement of Lawsuit
|
As previously reported, the Partnership, as a nominal defendant, the general partners of the Partnership and of affiliated public Partnerships (the “Realmark Partnerships”) and the officers and directors of the Corporate General Partner, as defendants, had been involved in a class action litigation at the state court level regarding the payment of fees and other management issues.
On August 29, 2001, the parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (the “Settlement”). On October 4, 2001, the Court issued an “Order Preliminary Approving Settlement’ (the “Hearing Order”) and on November 29, 2001, the Court issued an “Order and Final Judgment Approving Settlement and Awarding Fees and Expenses” and dismissing the complaints with prejudice. The Settlement provided, among other things, that all of the Realmark Partnerships’ properties be disposed of. The general partners will continue to have primary authority to dispose of Partnerships’ properties. If either (i) the general partners have not sold or contracted to sell 50% of the Partnerships’ properties (by value) by April 2, 2002 or (ii) the general partners have not sold or contracted to sell 100% of the Partnerships’ properties by September 29, 2002, then the primary authority to dispose of the Partnerships’ properties will pass to a sales agent designated by plaintiffs’ counsel and approved by the Court. On October 4, 2002, the Court appointed a sales agent to work with the general partners to continue to sell the Partnerships’ remaining properties.
The settlement also provided for the payment by the Partnerships of fees to the plaintiffs’ attorneys. These payments, which are not calculable at this time but may be significant, are payable out of the proceeds from the sale of all of the properties owned by all of the Realmark Partnerships, following the sale of the last of these properties in each partnership. Plaintiffs’ counsel will receive 15% of the amount by which the sales proceeds distributable to limited partners in each partnership exceeds the value of the limited partnership units in each partnership (based on the weighted average of the units’ trading prices on the secondary market as reported by Partnership Spectrum for the period May through June 2001). In no event may the increase on which the fees are calculated exceed 100% of the market value of the units as calculated above.
