NOTES TO SUMMARIZE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
June 30, 1998
URBAN IMPROVEMENT FUND LIMITED - 1973-II
(A Limited Partnership)
Note 1 - Organization - Urban Improvement Fund Limited - 1973 II (the
Partnership) was formed under the California Uniform Limited
Partnership Act on July 1, 1973, for the principal purpose of investing in
other limited partnerships (Local Limited Partnerships), which own federal
and state-assisted housing projects. The Partnership issued 11,335 units of
limited partnership interest pursuant to a public offering of such units
which terminated on December 31, 1973. The Partnership also issued 100
units of general partnership interest to Interfinancial Real Estate
Management Company (the General Partner).
The Urban Improvement Fund Limited - 1973-II prospectus, dated
October 24, 1973, specified that the General Partner has five percent
interest in profits, losses and special allocations, and the limited partners
will share the remaining ninety-five percent interest in profits, losses and
special allocations in proportion to their respective units of limited
partnership interests.
Note 2 - Method of Accounting - Initial rent-up fees paid by the
Partnership to the General Partner, deducted when paid for income tax
purposes, are capitalized as acquisition costs of the Local Limited
Partnerships for financial reporting purposes. These costs and other costs
of acquisition are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives
(fifteen to forty years) of the Local Limited Partnership Properties.
Amortization is discontinued when the investment is reduced to zero.
<PAGE>
Repayment of advances and cash distributions by the Local Limited
Partnerships, after the Partnership investment has been reduced to zero, are
recognized as income by the Partnership in the period received.
Additional advances to Local Limited Partnership, after an investment is
reduced to zero, are recognized as losses in the period paid.
The unaudited interim financial statements furnished in this report reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Taxes on Income
No provision for taxes on income has been recorded, since all taxable
income or loss of the Partnership is allocated to the partners for inclusion
in their respective tax returns.
Cash Equivalents
Marketable securities that are highly liquid and have maturities of three
months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.
Note 3 - Management of Urban Improvement Fund Limited - 1973-II -
Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
required to pay the General Partner an annual management fee equal to
one-quarter of one percent of invested assets or $136,548 (the fee will not
be more than fifty percent of the Partnership's annual net cash flow as
defined, subject to an annual minimum of $70,000). This fee was not
payable during the first six years unless annual tax deductions plus cash
distributions aggregated $550 per unit. The required level of tax
deductions was
<PAGE>
not achieved in these years, and accordingly, the fee was not paid for those
years. However, fees of $350,000 have been recorded as a liability to the
General Partner. Management fees payable totaling $753,167 for
subsequent years have been accrued to the General Partner because cash
flow was not sufficient to pay the fees. The Partnership will also pay the
General Partner a liquidation fee for the sale of projects.
The General Partner of the partnership is a corporation in which Paul H.
Pfleger has a majority interest. Partnership Services, Inc. (PSI), another
corporation in which Paul H. Pfleger is a majority shareholder, has
contracted with the General Partner and the Partnership to provide certain
management and other services in any projects in which the Partnership
has an interest. In addition, as shown in the following table, PSI has
become the General Partner in two of the Local Limited Partnerships in
which the Partnership has investments:

</TABLE>
Note 4 - Investments in Local Limited Partnerships - As of June 30, 1998
and 1997, the Partnership has investments in ten active real estate Limited
Partnerships (Local Limited Partnership), which are accounted for on the
equity method. The investment account represents the sum of the capital
investments and unamortized costs of acquisitions less the Partnership's
share in losses since the date of acquisition. The Partnership discontinues
recognizing losses when the investment
<PAGE>
in a particular Local Limited Partnership is reduced to zero, unless the
Partnership intends to commit additional funds to the Local Limited
Partnerships.
The investments in Local Limited Partnerships are comprised of:

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Partnership has followed the practice of investing available funds not
used in the purchase of properties or in operations into short-term
investments. Revenue resulted from such short-term investments. The
Partnership is dependent upon interest earned and the distributions and
repayment of advances from Local Limited Partners for cash flow. The
Partnership has advanced funds to selected partnerships. The General
Partner does not believe these net advances will significantly affect the
operations of the Partnership. The activity of advances is as follows:

one-quarter of one percent of invested assets or $136,548 (the fee will not
be more than fifty percent of the Partnership's annual net cash flow as

recorded management fee expense of $35,000 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
The components of the Partnership's equity in net loss of the Local
Limited Partnerships for June 30, 1998 and 1997, is summarized as
