TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I
Item I. Business
American Affordable Housing II Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on May 13, 1987. Effective as of June 1, 2001 there was a restructuring, and as a result, the Fund’s general partner was reorganized as follows. The General Partner of the Fund continues to be Boston Capital Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership. The general partner of the General Partner is BCA Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation. John P. Manning is the principal of Boston Capital Partners, Inc. and C&M Management, Inc.
The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partner interests in limited partnerships (the” Operating Partnerships”), each of which was to own and operate an apartment complex for low- and moderate income tenants. Each apartment complex qualified for the low-income housing tax credit under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), and some apartment complexes also qualified for the historic rehabilitation tax credit under Section 47 of the Code. Section 236 (f) (ii) of the National Housing Act, as amended, in Section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, as amended, each provide for the making by HUD of rent supplement payments to low income tenants in properties which receive other forms of federal assistance such as Tax Credits. The payments for each tenant, which are made directly to the owner of their property, generally are in such amounts as to enable the tenant to pay rent equal to 30% of the adjusted family income. Some of the Apartment Complexes in which the Partnership has invested are receiving such rent supplements from HUD.
HUD has been in the process of converting rent supplement assistance to assistance paid not to the owner of the Apartment Complex, but directly to the individuals. At this time, the Partnership is unable to predict whether Congress will continue rent supplement programs payable directly to owners of the Apartment Complex.
The investment objectives of the Partnership are (i) to provide Investors with tax benefits during the first ten years of operations in the form of (a) low-income housing and historic rehabilitation tax credits which may be applied against the Investors’ Federal income tax liability arising from, in the case of individuals, active and portfolio income on a limited basis from passive income, and in the case of corporations, against Federal income tax liability from active and passive income and, as to certain corporations, against all income and (b) passive losses which may be used to reduce an Investor’s income in the same manner, (ii) to preserve and protect the capital of the Partnership, (iii) provide long-term capital appreciation through increases in the value of the Partnership’s investments, and (iv) provide cash distributions from Capital Transaction proceeds. The General Partners are currently of the belief that the Partnership’s investment objectives will be met. Current distributions are not an investment objective of the Partnership.
The offering of Class A Limited Partner interests (the “Units”) in the Partnership (the “Public Offering”) began on February 2, 1988 and was concluded on September 21, 1988. Investors purchasing 26,501 Units contributed $26,501,000 to the Partnership. The Partnership held interests in 28 Operating Partnerships at March 31, 2005. See Item 2.

Item 2. Properties
As of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2005, the Partnership held Limited Partnership interests in the Operating Partnerships described below. In each instance the Apartment Complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the Federal Housing Tax Credit. Initial occupancy of a unit in each Apartment Complex which complied with the Minimum Set-Aside Test (i.e., initial occupancy by tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage of area median income) and the Rent Restriction Test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to hereinafter as “Qualified Occupancy.” Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the respective Apartment Complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus or applicable report on Form 8-K. The General Partners believe that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.
Please refer to Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a more detailed discussion of operational difficulties experienced by certain of the Operating Partnerships.

Item 5. | | Market for the Fund’s Limited Partnership Interests and Related Partnership Matters and Issuer Purchases of Partnership Interests |
There is no established public trading market for the Units and it is not anticipated that any public market will develop for the purchase and sale of any Units.
As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership had 2,106 registered holders of an aggregate of 26,501 Units.
The Partnership made no distributions to its Limited Partners from Operating Partnership cash flow from its inception on May 13, 1987 through March 31, 2005. Because the Partnership invested in Operating Partnerships owning apartment complexes, which receive government assistance, the cash distributions which may be made by the Operating Partnerships are often restricted. The Partnership does not anticipate that it will provide significant cash distributions to its Limited Partners in circumstances other than refinancing or sale of apartment complexes by the Operating Partnerships.
During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Fund made a return of equity distribution to the Limited Partners in the amount of $682,010, respectively. The distributions were the result of proceeds available from the sale or transfer of one or more Operating Partnerships.

Item 7. | | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Liquidity
The Partnership’s primary source of funds was the proceeds of its Public Offering. Other sources of liquidity have included (i) interest earned on capital contributions held pending investment or held for working capital reserves and (ii) cash distributions, if any, from operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. Both of these sources of liquidity are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership is currently accruing the annual asset management fees. Asset management fees accrued during the year ended March 31, 2005 were $325,663. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 the Partnership paid $222,932 in asset management fees. Total asset management fees accrued as of March 31, 2005 were $6,532,788. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such liabilities will be deferred until the Partnership receives sale or refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships, and at that time proceeds from such sales or refinancing would be used to satisfy such liabilities.
Affiliates of the General Partners have advanced $261,667 to the Partnership to pay certain third party operating expenses as of March 31, 2005. In addition, the Partnership has accrued $32,933 for expenses other than the annual asset management fees that have been incurred by but not yet reimbursed to the affiliates. These and any additional advances and accruals will be repaid, without interest, from available cash flow, reporting fees or the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership’s interests in Operating Partnerships. Cash flow and reporting fees will be added to the Partnership’s Working Capital and will be available to meet future third party obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership is currently pursuing, and will continue to aggressively pursue, available cash flow and reporting fees. No significant distributions of cash flow from the Operating Partnerships are anticipated on a long term or short term basis due to the restrictions on rents which apply to low-income apartment complexes.
Capital Resources
The Partnership received $26,501,000 in subscriptions for Units (at $1,000 per Unit) during the period February 2, 1988 to September 21, 1988 pursuant to the Public Offering, resulting in net proceeds available for investment in Operating Partnerships (after payment of acquisition fees and expenses and funding of a reserve) of approximately $18,550,700.
As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership had committed to investments requiring cash payments of $18,613,793, all of which has been paid. At March 31, 2005, the Partnership held working capital of $79,567. Since the Partnership has completed funding of all investments, it anticipates that there should be no significant need for capital resources in the future.
8
Results of Operations
The Partnership was formed with the investment objectives set forth above under Item 1. The Partnership incurs an annual asset management fee to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership in an amount equal to 0.5% of the aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, less the amount of certain partnership management and reporting fees paid or payable by the Operating Partnerships. The annual asset management fee incurred for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $203,540 and $370,138, respectively. The amounts incurred are net of reporting fees received of $43,038 and $37,385, respectively. Because the Partnership is not expected to receive any significant cash flow from the Operating Partnerships in subsequent years, the annual asset management fee is currently being deferred and is expected to be paid from the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership’s interests in Operating Partnerships. The amount is expected to continue to decrease in future years as additional interests in Operating Partnerships are sold and the portion of the fee attributed to those Operating Partnerships is not longer incurred.
The Partnership expects that all of its cash receipts will be used to pay third party operating expenses. The Partnership reported interest income of $2,353 and $5,200, respectively, in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership received $12,596 and $6,816, respectively, in distributions of cash flow and $122,123 and $37,385,respectively, of reporting fees from the Operating Partnerships. The total cash flow received in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was recorded as miscellaneous income instead of as a decrease in Investments in Operating Limited Partnerships, due to the equity method of accounting. Reporting fee income in the current fiscal year was higher primarily due to the collection of accrued reporting fees received from Operating Partnerships sold in the current fiscal year. No other significant sources of income are anticipated.
As of March 31, 2005 and 2004 the Partnership held limited partnership interests in 27 and 44 Operating Partnerships, respectively. The decrease in the number of Operating Partnerships was due to the sale of seventeen of the Operating Partnerships in the year ended March 31, 2005. In each instance the Apartment Complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the Federal Housing Tax Credit. Occupancy of a unit in each Apartment Complex which initially complied with the Minimum Set-Aside Test (i.e., occupancy tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage of area median income) and the Rent Restriction Test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to hereinafter as “Qualified Occupancy”. Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the respective Apartment Complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus or applicable report on Form 8-K. The General Partners believe that there is adequate casualty insurance on the properties.
As of March 31, 2005 and 2004 the Qualified Occupancy for the Partnership was 100%. The Partnership had a total of 27 properties at March 31, 2005, all of which were at 100% qualified occupancy.
For the period ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Operating Partnerships reflected a net loss of $(1,021,546) and $(2,665,508), respectively, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1,354,370 and $2,733,300, respectively.
9
For the tax year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 the Partnership generated $2,245,132 and $2,553,147, respectively, in passive income tax losses that were passed through to the investors and also provided $0.0 and $2.8, respectively, in tax credits per BAC to the investors. The Operating Partnerships were allocated tax credits for 10 years. Based on each Operating Partnership’s lease-up, the total credits could be spread over as many as 13 years. In cases where the actual number of years is more than 10, the credits delivered in the early and later years will be less than the maximum allowable per year. As of December 31, 2003 all credits had been realized and no further credits are anticipated.
Liberty Center, Limited owned a 109-unit property (Liberty Center I) located in Jacksonville, FL (the “Property”). The Property is a single room occupancy facility with shared bath and kitchen facilities designed to serve homeless individuals. The Property was subject to a Low Income Housing Tax Credit Compliance Period which ended December 31, 2002. The Operating General Partner offered to purchase the Partnership’s interest in the Property for $70,000. After conducting an internal analysis of the Property’s value and hiring an independent consultant to conduct an analysis of the Property’s value, the Investment General Partner accepted the Operating General Partner’s offer and in January 2003, the sale was completed. The Investment Partnership, its General Partner and various affiliates agreed to forego certain payables due upon the sale of its interest in the Property, and returned all sale proceeds generated by the sale to the Limited Partners of the Investment Partnership in July 2004. The amount distributed to the investors on a per unit basis was $2.64. Since the balance of the Investment Partnership’s interest in the Operating Partnership was not equal to the sale proceeds received, a loss on the sale of the Operating Partnership was recorded in the year ended March 31, 2003 in the amount of $455,300.
Washington Mews LP owned a 20-unit property (Washington Mews) located in Dorchester, Massachusetts (the “Property”). The Property was subject to a Low Income Housing Tax Credit Compliance Period which ended December 31, 2002. In anticipation of the expiration of the Compliance Period, the Property was offered for sale through Coldwell Banker-Hunneman. An offer to purchase the Property for $1,950,000 by an unrelated third party (the “Buyer”) was received. The Property was sold to the Buyer on January 3, 2003 and full consideration of $1,950,000 was received at that time. The Investment Partnership’s share of the total sale proceeds was $852,740.
The Property was subject to a first mortgage loan from the Massachusetts Housing Partnership Fund (MHP). Prior to the sale of the Property, a payoff letter was requested and issued by MHP (the “Payoff Letter”). At closing, funds were distributed to MHP in accordance with the Payoff Letter. In addition, sale proceeds due to the Investment Partnership were distributed at closing. Subsequent to the receipt of these funds, MHP refused to issue a discharge of the mortgage in accordance with the Payoff Letter. The MHP mortgage provides for (under certain circumstances) the lender’s participation in gain realized at sale over and above the mortgage amount.
A calculation of this participation was made and included in the Payoff Letter issued by MHP. However, after payment of this amount, MHP indicated that it disagreed with the participation calculation and refused to issue a discharge of mortgage and to release certain funds belonging to Washington Mews and held in escrow by MHP.
10
MHP commenced litigation against Washington Mews and requested that the court hold the mortgage discharge until the litigation is resolved. The court denied MHP’s request, and in the first quarter 2004, MHP and Washington Mews reached an agreement regarding the participation payment. The litigation has been dismissed, and the sale proceeds amount was finalized and distributed in July 2004. Of the total sale proceeds received $592,006 or $22.34 per unit was returned to the investors. The remaining proceeds total of $260,734 was paid to BCAMLP for fees and expenses related to the sale and partial reimbursement of amounts payable to affiliates. The breakdown of the amount to be paid to BCAMLP is as follows: $54,472 represents reimbursement of expenses incurred related to sale, which includes but is not limited to due diligence, legal and mailing costs; $48,750 represents a fee for overseeing and managing the disposition of the property; and $157,492 represents a partial payment of outstanding Asset Management Fees due to BCAMLP. Since the balance of the Investment Partnership’s interest in the Operating Partnership was not equal to the sale proceeds received, a gain on the sale of the Operating Partnership was recorded in the year ended March 31, 2003 in the amount of $516,637. In the current fiscal year it was determined that a portion of the gain reported in March 2003, in the amount of $48,750, was attributable to the fee associated with the disposition of the property. A prior period adjustment was made to the March 2003 gain (loss) on disposition of the Operating Partnerships to correct the amount previously reported. A loss on the sale has been reported in the current fiscal year in the amount of $5,492 for legal costs incurred by the Partnership related to the litigation associated with the sale.
Historically, the financial statements of Rouse Stokes Rowe Housing Associates, L.P. (Stokes Rowe Apartments) have been prepared assuming that the Operating Partnership would continue as a going concern. The property always experienced high occupancy but was never able to support operations due to excessive operating expenses. Both of the Operating Partnership’s mortgages were in technical default for non-payment. The first permanent loan was payable to the stockholder of Southwark Realty, an affiliate of the Operating General Partner. It was noted in a site visit in 2001 that the property had a number of tenant files that were not in compliance due to improper documentation. In addition, the State Agency issued Low Income Housing Credit Agencies Report of Noncompliance forms 8823’s for failing to file the required Annual Owner’s Certifications. The tax credit compliance period ended on December 31, 2002. The Investment General Partner transferred the Operating Partnership interest to the Operating General Partner effective December 31, 2003. Annual losses generated by the Operating Partnership, which were applied against the Investment Partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership in accordance with the equity method of accounting, had previously reduced the Investment Partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership to zero. Since no proceeds were received for the transfer of the interest, there was no gain or loss to report on the disposal of the asset.

Lovington Housing Associates L.P. (Southview Place Apartments) is a 48 unit property located in Lovington, New Mexico which completed its final year of compliance in 2004. The 2004 audit shows that the property generated $37,381 cash, after allocation for the funding of the replacement reserve account. Rental revenue increase $30,000 and operating expenses have stabilized at $2,950/per unit, on target with the state averages. Occupancy remained strong throughout the year, ending the fourth quarter at 96%. An insurance claim has been submitted to repair the roof and steps have been taken to obtain a rehab loan in order to make some badly needed capital improvements. With the current strong occupancy and a loan to cover capital improvements, the property will operate above breakeven and be able to start paying down accrued fees and payables. The property’s mortgage, taxes and insurance payments are current.
The liquidity of the Harbor Hill Associates Limited Partnership (Harbor Hill Estates) has been adversely affected by recurring losses from operations. The operating deficits have prevented the Operating Partnership from meeting obligations as they become due and from making required deposits into the replacement reserve account. The Operating Partnership received a service letter (mortgage default notice) from USDA/RD on January 3, 2001. A workout plan to address these issues was approved by USDA/RD in December 2001. As of March 31, 2005, the Operating General Partner is in compliance with the terms of the workout plan. USDA/RD has allowed the property to admit non-elderly tenants that are income qualified due to a change in the demographics of the marketplace of Bar Harbor, ME. Consequently, occupancy has stabilized with average occupancy of 92% through March 31, 2005. The increased occupancy has helped stabilize the property’s operations. Although the property continues to operate below breakeven, the Operating General Partner is making advances as required by the workout plan. The Investment General Partner will continue to monitor this situation very closely.

Principal Accounting Policies and Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the Partnership to make certain estimates and assumptions. A summary of significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to the financial statements. The following section is a summary of certain aspects of those accounting policies that may require subjective or complex judgments and are most important to the portrayal of Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations. The Partnership believes that there is a low probability that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments would result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements.
The Partnership is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which is primarily investments in limited partnerships. The Partnership accounts for its investment in limited partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting since the Partnership does not control the operations of the Operating Limited Partnership.
If the book value of the Partnership’s investment in an Operating Partnership exceeds the estimated value derived by management, which generally consists of the remaining future Low-Income Housing Credits allocable to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership, the Partnership reduces its investment in any such Operating Limited Partnership and includes such reduction in equity in loss of investment of limited partnerships.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
As of March 31, 2004, the partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46 - Revised (“FIN46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46R provides guidance on when a company should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (“VIE’’) in its financial statements and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE. A VIE is a legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if it is the primary beneficiary because it absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, the majority of the expected returns, or both.
Based on the guidance of FIN 46R, the operating limited partnerships in which the partnership invests in meet the definition of a VIE. However, management does not consolidate the partnership’s interests in these VIEs under FIN 46R, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. The partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these partnerships as an asset in the balance sheets, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in the financial statements.
The partnership’s balance in investment in operating limited partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments, represents its maximum exposure to loss. The partnership’s exposure to loss on these partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying properties as well as the strength of the local general partners and their guarantee against credit recapture.
Exceptions to Certifications
The financial statements are presented as unaudited in the Form 10-K as of March 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the three years ended March 31, 2005 as the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm could not be filed within the prescribed time period because the issuer was not able to obtain audit opinions which refer to the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) of property partnerships, in which the issuer holds noncontrolling limited partner interests. The non-affiliated local operating partnership general partners engage the accountants auditing each local operating partnership.
Historically, the audits, and the reports thereon, of the local operating partnerships were performed in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS).
On May 11, 2005 draft guidance was issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board which was confirmed on June 24, 2005 by the AICPA Center for Public Company Audit Firms, that clearly establishes the requirement for the audit reports of the operating partnerships of a Public Fund to refer to the auditing standards of the PCAOB.
The audits of the operating partnerships were performed primarily during the months of January and February and refer to Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. We have all appropriate originally signed opinions from the operating partnerships, however, they do not refer to the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has performed an audit of the registrant but cannot issue an opinion in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Therefore, we are filing our 10-K as “UNAUDITED” as it is without an audit opinion.
