ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Background
Southeast Acquisitions II, L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed on December 14, 1987, as a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership's 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, 2002, the current General Partner will continue to operate in the liquidation mode until all of the Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 67% 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 Partnership's 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 2002 the Partnership sold approximately one half acre of its Rutherford, County Tennessee Property for $112,385 and recognized a gain of $97,794. The Partnership also entered into a sales contract for all of the remaining land in Rutherford County for a total sales price of $5,320,244. This contract could close on or before May 20, 2003, but the contract allows the buyer to extend the closing date by 60 days by paying a nonrefundable deposit of $20,000. The buyer is allowed to make up to two extensions, but the purchase price would change to $5,510,253 and $5,700,262, respectively. 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.
Trademarks and Patents
The Partnership has no trademarks or patents.

On August 17, 1999, the Partnership closed the sale of the remaining land for approximately $699,500 less commissions and expenses.
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 and .41 acres in October 2002 the Property consists of approximately 45 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.
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 Partnership's 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-440 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 will be located immediately across the street from the remaining Rutherford County, Tennessee Property. It is estimated to cost seventy-six million dollars and it is expected to be 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. MANAGEMENT'S 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 Partnership's 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, 2002 is as follows:
2002 Compared to 2001
During 2002, the Partnership sold approximately one half acre in Rutherford County, Tennessee for a gain of $97,794 compared to 2001, when the Partnership sold approximately 52 acres in Rutherford County for a gain of $1,918,254. In 2001 the Partnership also recognized non-refundable extension fees and interest of $72,546 related to another Rutherford County sales contract that was subsequently cancelled by the prospective purchaser. The Partnership had no such revenue in 2002. Other revenues in 2002 included interest of $2,521 compared to $17,694 in 2001. The interest was lower due to a lower cash reserve. Other revenue in 2001 included $100 for "independent consideration" for the Partnership's willingness to execute a sales contract that was subsequently terminated. There was no such income in 2002. There were no distributions to the Limited Partners in 2002. In 2001 there was a distribution of $260 per Unit.
Expenses during 2002 were $33,736 consisting of general and administrative expenses of $28,017, franchise and excise tax of $4,236, real estate taxes of $1,253 and insurance of $230. The general and administrative expenses included $22,542 in accounting and legal fees, which represents an increase of $2,283 from 2001. This increase was primarily due to additional legal assistance related to a quitclaim deed for right-of-way. The general and administrative expenses for 2002 also included professional fees of $3,684, which represents an increase of $1,629 from 2001. This increase was due to civil engineering services required for roadway modifications on the remaining Property. The franchise and excise taxes were $41,141 lower that in 2001, when the Partnership paid $45, 277 related to gains on the sale of land. The real estate taxes in 2002 included $1,167 in greenbelt rollback taxes that were paid in relation to the Rutherford County land sale. There were no such taxes in 2001.
2001 Compared to 2000
During 2001, the Partnership sold approximately 52 acres in Rutherford County, Tennessee and recognized non-refundable extension fees and interest related to another Rutherford County sales contract that was subsequently cancelled by the prospective purchaser. These transactions provided gains and non-refundable extension fees and interest of $1,990,800 compared with gains on sales of property and non-refundable extension fees and interest during
2000 of $239,024. Other revenues in 2001 consisted of $17,794 in interest and other income compared to $5,939 in 2000. During 2001, a distribution of $260 per Unit was made to the Limited Partners compared to a distribution per Unit of $30 in 2000.
Expense during 2001 were $69,622 consisting of general and administrative expenses of $24,088, franchise and excise taxes of $45,377, real estate taxes of $86 and insurance of $71. The general and administrative expenses included $20,258 in accounting and legal fees, which represents a decrease of $2,319 from 2000. The decrease was primarily due to decreased legal charges. The franchise and excise taxes included $45,277 related to gains on the sale of land. The Partnership paid no such taxes in 2000. Since the Partnership is currently operating in the liquidation mode, it had no management fees in 2001 as compared to $19,000 that were paid in 2000. In 2001 there was a decrease in real estate taxes of $800 and insurance of $133, both due to the sale of land.
Inflation did not have a material impact on operations during 2002, 2001 and 2000.
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 of $176,824 at December 31, 2002. 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 Partnership's 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 evaluation, 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.

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 to $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.

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 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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 Partnership's 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 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership paid real estate sales commissions of $7,867, $261,405, and $7,453 respectively, to the General Partner.

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, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE A--DESCRIPTION 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 Partnership's 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, 2002, the remaining land consisted of approximately 45 acres of the Tennessee land.
The following accounting policies are presented to assist the reader in understanding the Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 land's geographic area. The Partnership's 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 land's 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, 2002 and 2001, the remaining portion of the 1991 write-down that had not been recognized for income tax purposes totaled $1,163,714 and $1,174,276, respectively.

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, 2002, cash on deposit included approximately $187,000 in excess of federally insured limits.
NOTE B--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
No management fees were paid during 2002 and 2001 since the Partnership was operating in liquidation mode. During 2000, the Partnership paid management fees to the general partner of $19,000, as provided for in the amendment to the partnership agreement that was adopted during November 1997.
During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, sales commissions totaling $7,867, $261,405 and $7,453, respectively, were paid to the general partner 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, 2002, 2001 and 2000, reimbursements to the general partner's members and related companies totaled $1,788, $934 and $1,634, respectively.

NOTE C--PARTNERS' 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:
(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 ($1,136,019 at December 31, 2002) plus (ii) a return of their capital contributions ($9,650,000 at December 31, 2002); thereafter, distributions will be made 70% to the limited partners and 30% to the general partner. Distributions in connection with the Partnership's 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 years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership paid distributions against the limited partners' cumulative annual return in accordance with the partnership agreement of $-0-, $2,509,000, and $290,537, respectively, or per unit amounts of $-0-, $260, and $30, respectively.
Cumulative distributions applied against the limited partners' cumulative annual return through December 31, 2002 totaled $12,857,281, or $1,332 per unit.
Total compensation paid to all persons, including the general partner, upon the sale of the Partnership's 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.
