PART I
ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
Background
Southeast Acquisitions II, L.P. (the Partnership) was formed on December 14, 1987, as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnerships public offering of 9,650 units of limited partnership interest (Units) commenced on June 8, 1988 and terminated on July 18, 1988 when all 9,650 Units were sold. The Partnership was scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2000. There are currently no plans to extend the Partnership agreement. Since there is land remaining at December 31, 2004, the current General Partner will continue to operate in the liquidation mode until all of the Partnerships Property is sold.
The Partnership purchased the following three parcels of unimproved land in 1988; 353 acres in Henry County, Georgia; 91 acres in Greenville, South Carolina; and 135 acres in Rutherford County, Tennessee. The Partnerships primary business objective is to realize appreciation in the value of the three parcels of unimproved land (each a Property, collectively the Properties), by holding the Properties for investment and eventual sale, although there is no assurance that this will be attained.
Since acquisition, the Partnership has sold all of its Georgia Property, all of its South Carolina Property, and approximately 68% of its Tennessee Property. All remaining land is currently being marketed.
The timing and manner of sale will be determined by Southern Management Group, LLC, the General Partner of the Partnership. The General Partner generally has the right to sell Property, or portions thereof, without the consent of the Limited Partners. The Partnership Agreement provides, however, that a majority in interest of the Limited Partners must consent to the sale or disposition at one time of 60% or more of the real estate acreage held by the Partnership as of September 22, 1997 unless the sale or disposition is being made in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement or in the event that the net proceeds of the sale, when distributed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, will be sufficient to provide the Limited Partners with distributions equal to the acquisition cost of the assets sold.
The General Partner believes that the Partnerships cash reserves will be sufficient to last for at least one more year assuming no significant increases in expenses. However, if the reserves are exhausted and the Partnership is unable to borrow funds, the Partnership may have to sell the Property on unfavorable terms.
The General Partner has no plans to develop the Properties, except for activities including rezoning, land planning, market surveys and other activities necessary to prepare the Properties for sale. There can be no assurance that necessary funds would be available should it be desirable for the Partnership to improve the Properties to facilitate their sale.
At a special meeting of Limited Partners held on November 5, 1997, the Partnership Agreement was amended to (i) extend the term of the Partnership from its original expiration date of December 31, 1998 to December 31, 2000; (ii) substitute Southern Management Group, LLC for Southeast Acquisitions, Inc. as the general partner of the Partnership; (iii) authorize new commissions and new management fees for the new General Partner; (iv) give the new General Partner the exclusive right to sell Partnership Property; and (v) modify the Partnership Agreement to require that a majority in interest of the limited Partners must consent to the sale or disposition at one time of 60% or more of the real estate acreage held by the Partnership as of September 22, 1997 unless the sale or disposition is being made in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement or the net proceeds of the sale, when distributed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, will be sufficient to provide the Limited Partners with distributions equal to the acquisition cost of the assets sold.

Material Recent Developments
During 2004 the Partnership sold approximately 1.88 acres of its Rutherford County, Tennessee Property for a sales price of $995,000 and recognized a gain of $679,646. During 2003 there were no sales of Partnership Property. During the first quarter of 2005, the Partnership has entered into a contract to sell approximately 37.25 acres of the remaining Rutherford County, Tennessee Property. This contract allows for a stepped purchase price based on when the sale occurs. If the sale occurs within 210 days of the contract date, the sales price will be $170,000 per acre. If the sale occurs within 360 days of the contract date, the sales price will be $180,000 per acre and if the sale occurs within 420 days of the contract date, the sales price will be $190,000 per acre. There are contract contingencies that could allow the purchaser to terminate the agreement. There can be no assurance that this transaction will close.
Employees
The Partnership presently has no employees. The General Partner manages and controls the affairs of the Partnership. (See Part III, Item 10, Directors and Executive Officers of the Partnership).
Competition
The General Partner believes that there is significant direct competition within a five-mile radius of the Properties. The Property is located in middle Tennessee.

Rutherford County, Tennessee Property:
The Rutherford County, Tennessee Property is located approximately 18 miles southeast of the Nashville Central business district and 10 miles southeast of the Nashville Metropolitan Airport. Following a sale of four acres in 1995, 32.514 acres in 1997, and 52.281 acres in January 2001, .41 acres in October 2002 and 1.88 acres in July 2004 the Property consists of approximately 43 acres in the northeast quadrant of the I-24/Sam Ridley interchange, with frontage on the access road. The four acres sold in 1995 were part of the Property located at the northwest corner of the I-24 interchange. This land was located along Sam Ridley and was the portion of the Property located furthest from the interchange itself and was sold for a price of $50,000 per acre. The 32.514-acre sale in 1997 and the 52.281 acre sale in January 2001, were also at $50,000 per acre. During 1998 and 1999 there were no sales of Rutherford County, Tennessee Property but the Partnership sold an easement for $101,500 less commissions in 1998 and another utility easement in 1999 for $17,658. In 2000, the Partnership recognized an additional $7,509 in relation to the 1999 utility easement sale. The .41 acres sold in 2002 for a sales price of $112,385. The 1.88 acres sold in 2004 were sold for a sales price of $995,000 less an allowance to the purchaser for underground storm detention and landscaping. The Partnership also agreed to pay for site preparation for the land, which included grading, water and sewer extension and paving.
In an effort to make future development of the Property easier, all of the Property has now been zoned for commercial use and is located entirely within the Smyrna City Limits rather than part in the City of Smyrna and part in the City of LaVergne. There is a small cemetery located in the northwest quadrant of I-24, which the former general partner was aware of at the time of purchase, and which the General Partner does not believe will have an adverse effect on the Partnerships ability to sell the land. The I-24/Sam Ridley Parkway interchange is one exit south of Interchange City Industrial Park, the largest industrial park in the Nashville area, and is currently the last I-24 interchange south of the city to which sewer lines are available. At December 31, 1997, I-24 was being widened to three lanes in each direction from Bell Road in Nashville to the Sam Ridley interchange. This widening was completed in 1998. In 1999 I-24 was being widened to three lanes from Sam Ridley interchange to the I-840 interchange approximately 9 miles south of the property. This was completed in 2000. In 2001, Hospital Corporation of America announced plans to build a major medical facility on the southeast quadrant of the I-24 interchange. The facility is located immediately across the street from the remaining Rutherford County, Tennessee Property. It is estimated to cost seventy-six million dollars and was completed in 2003.
The former general partner had the Rutherford County Property appraised in 1996 by Martin Appraisal Services. The appraiser had no affiliation with the former general partner, although the president of Martin Appraisal Services served as a vice president of an affiliate of the current General Partner from April 1984 to August 1987. The Property was appraised in two tracts; one consisting of 84.5 acres for $2,250,000, or approximately $26,627 per acre, and the second consisting of 45.05 acres for $2,000,000, or approximately $44,395 per acre. The appraiser used the sales comparison (market) approach to value the Property in bulk. The appraiser also estimated the value of the Property if developed and sold as lots to end-users. The appraiser was able to use several sales of land that occurred in the past few years along Sam Ridley Parkway in the sales comparison approach. In the development analysis, the appraiser evaluated the sale of tracts of land over a three-year period and estimated the costs of necessary utility improvements. Due to the short period of time estimated as an absorption period, the appraiser did not discount the cash flow for the absorption period.
The appraised value does not reflect costs, expenses and commissions, which would be incurred in connection with a sale of the property. Moreover, appraisals are only an approximation of current market value, which can only be established by an actual sale.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Background
The Partnership was formed to acquire and realize appreciation in the Property by holding it for investment and eventual sale. However, there can be no assurance that the Partnerships objectives will be realized.
Results of Operations
The Partnership had no operations from the date of its formation on December 14, 1987 until June 24, 1988 when it acquired the first Property and sold 3,165 units of limited partnership interest. During 1988 the Partnership acquired three additional Properties and sold 6,485 additional Units of limited partnership interests.
In 1988 the Partnership purchased 579 acres of unimproved land at three locations. The status of these Properties at December 31, 2004 is as follows:

2004 Compared to 2003
During 2004, the Partnership sold approximately 1.88 acres of its Rutherford County, Tennessee Property for a sales price of $995,000 and recognized a gain of $679,646. As part of the contract the Partnership agreed to give the purchaser a $30,000 underground storm detention allowance and a $20,000 landscaping allowance. The storm detention allowance and landscaping allowance were both credited to the Purchaser at closing. The Partnership also agreed to pay for site preparation for the land, which included grading, water and sewer extension and paving. The cost to the Partnership was $137,954. During 2003, the Partnership had no sales of Partnership Property. Revenue in 2004 also consisted of interest income of $1,145 as compared to $1,983 in 2003. The interest was lower due to a lower cash reserve. The Partnership made cash distributions of $60 per unit to the Limited Partners in 2004. There were no cash distributions to the Limited Partners in 2003.
Expenses during 2004 were $99,651 consisting of general and administrative expense of $54,984, franchise and excise taxes of $35,842, real estate taxes of $8,518 and insurance of $307. The general and administrative expenses included $21,152 in accounting fees, which represent an increase of $4,446 over 2003. This increase is due to new auditing procedures required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The general and administrative expenses also included $6,528 in legal fees, which represent an increase of $5,681 over 2003. The increase is due to legal fees related to the sale of land mentioned above. The franchise and excise taxes were $33,983 higher than in 2003, when the Partnership paid $1,859 in franchise and excise taxes. The increase in taxes is related to the gain on the sale of land in 2004. The real estate taxes in 2004 were $6,905 higher than in 2003, when the Partnership paid $1,613 in real estate taxes. The increase in 2004 was due to the reclassification of one parcel of land from agricultural to commercial, which resulted in a higher tax rate. The insurance in 2004 was $77 higher that in 2003, when the Partnership paid $230 for insurance
6
2003 Compared to 2002
During 2003, the Partnership had no sales of Partnership Property as compared to 2002, when the Partnership sold approximately one half acre in Rutherford County, Tennessee for a gain of $97,794. Revenue in 2003 consisted of interest earned of $1,983 compared to $2,521 in 2002. The interest was lower due to a lower cash reserve. There were no cash distributions to the Limited Partners in 2003 or 2002.
Expenses during 2003 were $50,414 consisting of general and administrative expenses of $46,712, franchise and excise taxes of $1,859, real estate taxes of $1,613 and insurance of $230. The general and administrative expenses included $17,553 in accounting and legal fees, which represents a decrease of $4,988 from 2002. In 2002 the Partnership required additional legal assistance related to a quitclaim deed for right-of-way. The general and administrative expenses for 2003 also included $26,920 in professional fees compared to $3,684 in 2002. The increase was due to fees paid to consultants to develop a marketing and grading plan to subdivide the remaining property in Rutherford County, Tennessee into 14 sites of one to two acre sites. The Partnership has no current plans to complete this work. There were no such fees in 2002. The franchise and excise taxes were $2,377 lower than in 2002, when the Partnership paid $4,236 related to the gains on the sale of land. The real estate taxes in 2003 were $360 higher than in 2002, when the Partnership paid $1,253 in real estate taxes, which included $1,167 in greenbelt rollback taxes that were paid in relation to the Rutherford County land sale. The increase in 2003 was due to the reclassification of one parcel of land from agricultural to commercial, which resulted in a higher tax rate.
Inflation did not have a material impact on operations during 2004, 2003 and 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash generated by operating activities varies from year to year based on the level of land sale activity. The Partnership had cash reserves, net of accounts payable, of $12,637 at December 31, 2004. The General Partner believes that the Partnership has sufficient cash reserves to cover normal partnership expenses through the liquidation mode. However, if additional expenses are incurred or should the Partnership decide to construct infrastructure improvements to enhance the marketability of the Property, the reserves may be inadequate to cover the Partnerships operating expenses. If the reserves are exhausted, the Partnership may have to dispose of some of the Property or incur indebtedness on unfavorable terms.
Controls and Procedures
(a) Within the ninety day period prior to the date of this report, we carried out an elevation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to timely alert them to any material information relating to the Partnership that must be included in our periodic SEC filings.
(b) There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out this evaluation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Partnerships financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Partnership was scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2000 and is continuing to operate in liquidation mode. No adjustments are necessary to present the Partnerships financial statements on the liquidation basis of accounting. Land is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Sales of land are recognized upon the closing of an enforceable sales contract and the Partnerships execution of its obligations under the contract.

ITEM 12. | SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT |
As of December 31, 2004 no person or group (as that term is used in Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was known to the Partnership to beneficially own more than 5% of the Units of the Partnership.
Security Ownership of Management
No individual member, or director or officer of a member, of the General Partner nor such directors or officers as a group, owns any of the Partnerships outstanding securities. The General Partner owns a general partnership interest which entitles it to receive 30% of cash distributions after the Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions equal to a 10% non-compounded Cumulative Annual Return on their Adjusted Capital Contribution plus a return of their Capital Contributions as those terms are defined in the Partnership Agreement. The General Partner will share in taxable income to reflect cash distributions or, to the extent there are losses, 1% of such losses.

Changes in Control
There are no arrangements known to the Partnership that would at any subsequent date result in a change in control of the Partnership.
ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS |
From 1988 through 1996, the Partnership paid $18,753 annually as an administration fee to the former general partner. This fee was computed as one quarter of one percent of the base cost of the land. The cumulative amount of such fee could not exceed $150,021 and, as of December 31, 1996, fees charged since inception amounted t $150,021. As of November 5, 1997, the Limited Partners voted and agreed to pay the new General Partner, Southern Management Group, LLC, a fee of $2,915 for the period November 5, 1997 through December 31, 1997 and annual fees of $19,000 from January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2000. Any fee payments would cease at a date when the Partnership was liquidated.
The General Partner will also receive 30% of cash distributions after the Limited Partners have received (i) cumulative distributions equal to a 10% Cumulative Annual Return on their Adjusted Capital Contributions plus (ii) a return of their Capital Contributions (as those terms are defined in the Partnership Agreement). During 2004, 2003 and 2002, the General Partner received no cash distributions.
At the special meeting of Limited Partners held on November 5, 1997, the Partnership Agreement was amended to provide that total compensation paid to all persons, including the General Partner, for the sale of the Partnerships property is limited to a competitive real estate commission or disposition fee not to exceed 10% of the contract price of the sale of the property. Any such real estate commission or disposition fee paid to the General Partner will reduce any distribution to which it would otherwise be entitled under the amended Partnership Agreement. In addition, the Partnership Agreement was amended to provide that the General Partner may act as the exclusive agent for the sale of the Property. During 2004 and 2002, the Partnership paid real estate sales commissions of $69,650 and $7,867, respectively, to the General Partner or its affiliates. There were no sales of land during the year ended December 31, 2003.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

Southeast Acquisitions II, L.P.
Nashville, Tennessee
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Southeast Acquisitions II, L.P. (a limited partnership operating in liquidation mode) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships 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 misstatement. 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 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 Southeast Acquisitions II, L.P. (a limited partnership operating in liquidation mode) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As more fully described in Note A, according to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Partnership was scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2000 and is continuing to operate in liquidation mode.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SOUTHEAST ACQUISITIONS II, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership Operating in Liquidation Mode)
December 31, 2004
NOTE ADESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Southeast Acquisitions II, L.P. (a limited partnership operating in liquidation mode) (the Partnership) is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed to acquire and sell undeveloped land. The Partnership was formed during December 1987 and received equity contributions totaling $9,650,000 through the sale of 9,650 limited partnership units during 1988. The Partnership was originally scheduled to terminate on December 31, 1998. However, during November 1997, concurrent with the replacement of the previous general partner, the term of the Partnership was extended to December 31, 2000. The partnership is currently operating in liquidation mode until all of the Partnerships land is sold. No adjustments are necessary to present the financial statements on the liquidation basis.
During 1988, the Partnership purchased undeveloped land to be marketed for sale as follows: approximately 135 acres near Nashville, Tennessee, approximately 91 acres in Greenville, South Carolina, and approximately 353 acres near Atlanta, Georgia. This land was purchased from an affiliate of the previous general partner. At December 31, 2004, the remaining land consisted of approximately 43 acres of the Tennessee land.
The following accounting policies are presented to assist the reader in understanding the Partnerships financial statements:
Basis of Accounting: The Partnership maintains its accounting records on the accrual basis of accounting. Sales of land are recognized upon the closing of an enforceable sales contract and the Partnerships execution of its obligations under the contract.
Land Held for Sale: Land is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated cost to sell. The value of the land is reviewed for impairment annually by considering recent sales, contract negotiations in progress, and sale activity in the lands geographic area. The Partnerships land is carried net of the remaining portion of an original write-down of $3,467,829 that was recognized during 1991.
Income Taxes: Federal and state income taxes have not been provided for in the financial statements. Under existing law, the Partnership is not treated as a taxable entity. Rather, each partner must include his allocated share of Partnership income, loss, gain, deduction, and credit in his individual income tax return. The write-down of the lands carrying value that has been recorded for financial statement purposes will not be recognized for income tax purposes until the land is sold. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the remaining portion of the 1991 write-down that had not been recognized for income tax purposes totaled $1,115,285 and $1,163,714, respectively.

SOUTHEAST ACQUISITIONS II, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership Operating in Liquidation Mode)
NOTE ADESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESContinued
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Partnership considers all demand deposits and highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less which can be readily converted to cash on demand, without penalty, to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2004, cash and cash equivalents included cash on deposit in excess of federally insured limits of approximately $5,000.
NOTE BRELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, sales commissions totaling $69,650, $-0-, and $7,867, respectively, were paid to the general partner or its affiliates related to sales of land.
The Partnership agreement provides for reimbursement of expenses incurred by the general partner related to the administration and operation of the Partnership. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, reimbursements to the general partners members and related companies totaled $2,170, $2,175, and $1,788, respectively. Accounts payable to the general partners members totaled $387 and $1,830 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Partnership agreement provided for the payment of management fees to the general partner. However, no management fees were paid during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 since the Partnership was operating in liquidation mode.
NOTE CPARTNERS EQUITY
In accordance with the partnership agreement (as amended in November 1997), cash distributions and Partnership profits and losses are to be allocated as follows:
-7-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSContinued
SOUTHEAST ACQUISITIONS II, L.P.
(A Limited Partnership Operating in Liquidation Mode)
NOTE CPARTNERS EQUITYContinued
(a) | Except for distributions in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership, cash distributions are to be made 100% to the limited partners until the limited partners have received (i) cumulative distributions equal to their 10% noncompounded cumulative annual return on their adjusted capital contribution, as defined ($2,487,019 unpaid at December 31, 2004) plus (ii) a return of their capital contributions ($9,650,000 at December 31, 2004); thereafter, distributions will be made 70% to the limited partners and 30% to the general partner. Distributions in connection with the Partnerships liquidation will be made in accordance with the partners capital accounts as maintained for federal income tax purposes. |
(b) | Profits and losses are to be allocated as provided in the partnership agreement. Generally, profits will be allocated to the partners to reflect cash distributions or to offset negative balances in the partners capital accounts, but at least 1% of profits will be allocated to the general partner. Losses will generally be allocated 99% to the limited partners, in proportion to their units, and 1% to the general partner, or to reduce any positive account balances in the partners capital accounts. |
Upon Partnership dissolution and termination, the general partner is required to contribute to the capital of the Partnership the lesser of any negative amount of its capital account, as defined, or 1.01% of the capital contributions made by the limited partners. Any amount so contributed shall be distributed to the limited partners in proportion to their positive capital account balances.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership paid distributions against the limited partners cumulative annual return in accordance with the partnership agreement of $579,000, or $60 per unit. No distributions were paid during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.
Cumulative distributions applied against the limited partners cumulative annual return through December 31, 2004 totaled $13,436,281, or $1,392 per unit.
Total compensation paid to all persons, including the general partner, upon the sale of the Partnerships property is limited to a competitive real estate commission or disposition fee not to exceed 10% of the contract price. Any such commission or disposition fee paid to the general partner would reduce any distribution which it would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to the partnership agreement. The general partner or an affiliate may be given an exclusive right to sell property for the Partnership.
