1.   The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
     financial information. They do not include all information and footnotes
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
     statements. The results of operations are impacted significantly by the
     results of operations of the Operating Partnerships, which are provided on
     an unaudited basis during interim periods. Accordingly, the accompanying
     financial statements are dependent on such unaudited information. In the
     opinion of the General Partner, the financial statements include all
     adjustments necessary to reflect fairly the results of the interim periods
     presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. No significant
     events have occurred subsequent to February 29, 2000 and no material
     contingencies exist which would require additional disclosures in the
     report under Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01 paragraph A-5.

     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Item 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
         Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2000, Wilder Richman Historic Properties II, L.P. (the
"Partnership") experienced few changes in its financial condition as compared to
February 29, 2000, with the exception of the investment in the Operating
Partnerships resulting from the equity in loss of operating partnerships for the
six months ended June 30, 2000.

The Operating Partnerships' cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2000 have
increased by approximately $410,000 compared to December 31, 1999 while accounts
payable and accrued expenses have increased by approximately $133,000. The
replacement reserve account, which is controlled by the lender for the purpose
of funding needed repairs or capital improvements, has increased by
approximately $30,000 to approximately $896,000.

The Operating Partnerships refinanced their respective outstanding mortgage
liabilities as of April 28, 2000 under the $27,545,000 Jersey City Redevelopment
Agency Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds, Series 1992 (Fannie Mae Pass-through
Certificate Program/Dixon Mill Apartments Project). Prior to the refinancing,
the annual fixed interest rate of the mortgage was approximately 6.74%. The
total new indebtedness in the amount of $28,600,000 for a term of 30 years is
provided by (a) variable-rate tax-exempt bonds in the amount of $26,435,000, and
(b) variable-rate taxable bonds in the amount of $2,165,000. The initial
interest rates on the tax-exempt and taxable bonds are 5.1% and 6.15%,
respectively. The Operating Partnerships purchased an interest cap which would
limit the interest rates to 6.97% for five years on the tax-exempt portion, and
9.15% for five and one-half years on the taxable portion. Proceeds from the new
bond issue were used to pay off the existing 1992 bonds (approximately
$26,435,000), pay the costs of the transaction (approximately $898,000) and fund
reserves for capital improvements (approximately $1,528,000).

Because the property has been in operation for approximately ten years,
management is addressing the need for extensive capital improvements. As a
result of the refinancing and the funding of reserves for capital improvements,
the Operating General Partner intends to make approximately $1.6 million in
capital improvements to the Complex over the next twelve months. The planned
improvements include roof replacement, replacement of the fire/smoke alarm
system, elevator repairs, new entry doors and other repairs throughout the
complex. In addition, the Operating General Partner is considering, but has not
approved, creating an on-site health club facility out of an unused building
that would otherwise have to be repaired or torn down in the foreseeable future.
This cost is not included in the capital improvements discussed above.

Because of the reduction of the mortgage interest rate, there may be greater
potential for the Partnership to make cash distributions to the Limited Partners
on a regular basis. However, the Partnership's ability to make distributions
will depend on the level of interest rates and future operating results of the
Complex, which will be extremely dependent on competition and market conditions,
and therefore may be subject to significant volatility. Accordingly, there can
be no assurance as to whether or not the Partnership may be able to make
distributions, nor the timing or amount of any potential distributions to
Limited Partners. The Operating General Partner and the General Partner plan to
periodically assess the feasibility of cash flow distributions based on the
results of operations, the physical condition of the Property, the then current
interest rates, and local market conditions, among other things.

The Partnership's operating results are dependent upon the operating results of
the Operating Partnerships and are significantly impacted by the Operating
Partnerships' policies. The Partnership accounts for its investment in the
Operating Partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting, under
which the investment is carried at cost and is adjusted for the Partnership's
share of the Operating Partnerships' results of operations and by any cash
distributions received. Equity in loss of each investment in Operating
Partnership allocated to the Partnership is recognized to the extent of the
Partnership's investment balance in each Operating Partnership. Any equity in
loss in excess of the Partnership's investment balance in an Operating
Partnership is allocated to other partners' capital in any Operating
Partnership. As a result, the equity in loss of investment in operating
partnerships is expected to decrease as the Partnership's investment balances in
the respective Operating Partnerships become zero. However, the combined
statements of operations of the Operating Partnerships reflected in Note 2 to
the Partnership's financial statements include the operating results of all
Operating Partnerships, regardless of the Partnership's investment balances.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
       of Operations (continued)

Results of Operations

For the six months ended August 31, 2000, the statement of operations of the
Partnership reflects a net loss of $479,938, which includes equity in loss of
operating partnerships of $468,238. The Operating Partnerships reported a net
loss during the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $472,968, which includes
depreciation and amortization of approximately $667,000, non capitalized planned
maintenance expenditures of approximately $264,000 and the write-off of
unamortized financing fees resulting from the recent refinancing of
approximately $433,000. The Operating Partnerships generated cash flow from
operations after required debt service payments and required replacement reserve
deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2000 of approximately $502,000,
which includes principal amortization under the mortgages (approximately
$95,000) and deposits to required escrows (approximately $30,000). The Operating
Partnerships' results of operations were not significantly affected by the
refinancing, as it took place during the second quarter of operations. The
Partnership's interest revenue declined compared to the six months ended August
31, 1999 as a result of (i) making a distribution to limited partners of
approximately $964,000 in the fourth fiscal quarter of the year ended February
29, 2000 and (ii) the repayment of the note by the Operating Partnerships in the
first fiscal quarter of the year ended February 29, 2000. The Operating
Partnerships did not utilize any replacement reserves during the six months
ended June 30, 2000.

For the six months ended August 31, 1999, the statement of operations of the
Partnership reflects net earnings of $147,461, which includes equity in income
of operating partnerships of $137,758. Nonrecognition of income of the
Partnership's investment in Dixon Mills Phase I during the six months ended
August 31, 1999 was approximately $61,000 in accordance with the equity method
of accounting. The Operating Partnerships reported net earnings during the six
months ended June 30, 1999 of $200,376, inclusive of depreciation and
amortization of $688,355. The Operating Partnerships generated cash flow after
required debt service payments and required replacement reserve deposits during
the six months ended June 30, 1999 of approximately $717,000, which includes
principal amortization under the mortgages (approximately $134,000) and deposits
to required escrows (approximately $38,000). The Operating Partnerships did not
utilize any replacement reserves during the six months ended June 30, 1999.

Although the Operating Partnerships are operating above breakeven, management is
continuing to examine methods to maintain high occupancy rates while steadily
increasing rents and economizing operations. There has been ongoing new
construction of luxury multi-housing in the vicinity of the Dixon Mill Complex
(the "Complex"). Such housing includes asking rents that are comparable and
higher than rents currently charged by the Complex. Although the Complex has not
been adversely impacted by the new competition, it cannot be readily determined
whether such new housing will have a positive or negative impact on the Complex
or its cash flow in the future. The ability to continue to perform at recent
levels will be dependent on the ability to lease units as lease terms expire on
a month to month basis. The average occupancy for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 was approximately 98%. The future operating results of the Complex
will be extremely dependent on competition and market conditions and therefore
may be subject to significant volatility.


Year 2000 Compliance

The Partnership successfully completed a program to ensure Year 2000 readiness.
As a result, the Partnership had no Year 2000 problems that affected its
business, results of operations or financial condition.


Item 3  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Partnership has market risk sensitivity with regard to financial instruments
concerning interest rate fluctuations in connection with the low-floater
interest rates associated with the Operating Partnerships' mortgages as
refinanced as of April 28, 2000 (see discussion above). Although an interest
rate cap was purchased, an increase in the low-floater rates could have a
material adverse impact on the Partnership's results of operations.

                           Part II - Other Information



Item 1.       Legal Proceedings.

              Although Registrant is not involved in any legal proceedings, the
              Operating Partnerships are involved in three complaints which have
              been filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
              ("EEOC") against the Operating Partnerships, among others, by a
              former employee, a former part-time rental agent, and a security
              person employed by a private non-affiliated security company which
              provided service to the Property, alleging, among other things,
              discrimination in connection with advancement, hiring and
              termination. The Operating Partnerships intend to vigorously
              defend these matters. Although two of the claims have been
              dismissed by the EEOC, the plaintiffs currently have the right to
              file an appeal within ninety days of notification. No such appeals
              have been filed to date. The Operating General Partner cannot
              measure the potential liability, if any, at this time.

              None

Item 3.       Defaults Upon Senior Securities

              None

Item 4.       Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Item 5.       Other Information

              The Operating Partnerships refinanced their respective outstanding
              mortgage liabilities under the $27,545,000 Jersey City
              Redevelopment Agency Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds, Series
              1992 (Fannie Mae pass-through Certificate Program/Dixon Mill
              Apartments Project) as of April 28, 2000. The total new
              indebtedness in the amount of $28,600,000 for a term of 30 years
              is provided by (a) variable-rate tax-exempt bonds in the amount of
              $26,435,000 and (b) variable-rate taxable bonds in the amount of
              $2,165,000. The Operating Partnerships have purchased an interest
              cap which would limit the interest rates to 6.97% for five years
              on the tax-exempt portion, and 9.15% for five and one-half years
              on the taxable portion. Proceeds from the new bond issue were used
              to pay off the existing 1992 bonds (approximately $26,435,000),
              pay the costs of the transaction (approximately $800,000) and fund
              reserves for capital improvements (approximately $1,365,000).

              The new mortgage terms require monthly payments of $6,362 to a
              replacement reserve.
