NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
1. General
Smith Barney Principal Plus Futures Fund L.P. II (the "Partnership")
was formed under the laws of the State of New York on November 16, 1995. The
Partnership engages in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of
commodity interests, including futures contracts, options and forward contracts.
The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and
involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership maintains a portion of its
assets in principal amounts stripped from U.S. Treasury Bonds under the
Treasury=s STRIPS program which payments are due approximately seven years from
the date trading commenced ("Zero Coupons").
Between April 3, 1996 (commencement of offering period) and August 8,
1996, 19,896 Units of limited partnership interest were sold at $1,000 per unit.
The proceeds of the offering were held in an escrow account until August 9,
1996, at which time they were turned over to the Partnership for trading.
Smith Barney Futures Management Inc. acts as the general partner (the
"General Partner") of the Partnership. The Parnership's commodity broker is
Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB"). SSB is an affiliate of the General Partner.
The General Partner is wholly owned by Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc.
("SSBH"), which is the sole owner of SSB. SSBH is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Citigroup Inc. All trading decisions are made for the Partnership by John W.
Henry & Company, Inc. and Willowbridge Associates Inc. (collectively, the
"Advisors").
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited but, in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership's
financial condition at March 31, 1999 and the results of its operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements present
the results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally
provided in annual financial statements. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Partnership's annual report on Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of operations for
the interim periods presented should not be considered indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year.

3. Trading Activities:
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a
variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments. The results of the Partnership's trading
activity are shown in the statement of income and expenses.
The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and SSB gives the
Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Partnership are held for
trading purposes. The fair value of these commodity interests, including options
thereon, if applicable, at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was $630,242 and
$903,705, respectively, and the average fair value during the three and twelve
months then ended based on monthly calculation, was $834,632 and $982,632,
respectively.

<PAGE>
4. Financial Instrument Risk:
The Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity
instruments, in the normal course of its business. These financial instruments
may include forwards, futures and options, whose value is based upon an
underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future
commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other
financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the
case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be
settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument.
These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (AOTC@).
Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain
option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and
include forwards and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to
various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments
including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC
contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments
because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial
instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes, including interest
and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security
prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure
of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk
with respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an
exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions.
The Partnership's risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically
limited to the amounts recognized in the statement of financial condition and
not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The
Partnership has concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with
respect to the Partnership's assets is SSB.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's risk
exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management
monitoring systems and, accordingly believes that it has effective procedures
for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership
is subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner to statistically
analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and
correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account
analysis of futures, forwards and options positions by sector, margin
requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

<PAGE>
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments, while not
recorded in the financial statements, reflect the extent of the Partnership=s
involvement in these instruments.
At March 31, 1999, the notional or contractual amounts of the
Partnership's commitment to purchase and sell these instruments was $59,839,889
and $94,064,662, respectively, as detailed below. All of these instruments
mature within one year of March 31, 1999. However, due to the nature of the
Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. At March
31, 1999, the fair value of the Partnership's derivatives, including options
thereon, if applicable, was $630,242, as detailed below.

<PAGE>
PART I
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership does not engage in the sale of goods or services. Its
only assets are its equity in its commodity futures trading account, consisting
of cash and cash equivalents, Zero Coupons, net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on open futures and forward contracts, commodity options and
interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposit normally required in
commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in
substantial losses to the Partnership. While substantial losses could lead to a
substantial decrease in liquidity no such losses occurred during the first
quarter of 1999.
The Partnership's capital consists of capital contributions, as
increased or decreased by gains or losses on commodity futures trading and Zero
Coupons, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and distributions of
profits, if any.
For the three months ended March 31, 1999, Partnership capital
decreased 6.5% from $22,938,154 to $21,454,730. This decrease was attributable
to net loss from operations of $915,795 coupled with the redemption of 434 Units
totalling $567,629 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Future redemptions
can impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity contract
positions in subsequent periods.
Risk of Computer System Failure (Year 2000 Issue)
The Year 2000 issue is the result of existing computers in
many businesses using only two digits to identify a year in the date field.
These computers and programs, often referred to as "information technology,"
were designed and developed without considering the impact of the upcoming
change in the century. If not corrected, many computer applications could fail
or create erroneous results at the Year 2000. Such systems and processes are
dependent on correctly identifying dates in the next century.
The General Partner administers the business of the
Partnership through various systems and processes maintained by SSBH and SSB. In
addition, the operation of the Partnership is dependent on the capability of the
Partnership's Advisors, the brokers and exchanges through which the Advisors
trade, and other third parties to prepare adequately for the Year 2000 impact on
their systems and processes. The Partnership itself has no systems or
information technology applications relevant to its operations.
The General Partner, SSB, SSBH and their parent organization
Citigroup Inc. have undertaken a comprehensive, firm-wide evaluation of both
internal and external systems (systems related to third parties) to determine
the specific modifications needed to prepare for the year 2000. The combined
Year 2000 program in SSB is expected to cost approximately $140 million over the
four years from 1996 through 1999, and involve over 450 people at the peak
staffing level. SSB expects to complete all compliance and certification work by
June 1999. At this time, over 95% of SSBH systems have completed the correction
process and are Year 2000 compliant. Over 73% of the systems have completed
certification testing. The Year 2000 project at SSBH remains on schedule.
10
<PAGE>
The systems and components supporting the General Partner's
business that require remediation have been identified and modifications have
been made to bring them into Year 2000 compliance. Testing of these systems was
completed in the fourth quarter of 1998. Final testing and certification are
expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 1999.
This expenditure and the General Partner's resources dedicated
to the preparation for Year 2000 do not and will not have a material impact on
the operation or results of the Partnership.
The General Partner has requested and received statements from
the Advisors that each has undertaken its own evaluation and remediation plans
to identify any of its computer systems that are Year 2000 vulnerable. Each
Advisor has confirmed it is taking immediate actions to remedy those systems as
necessary. The General Partner will continue to inquire into and to confirm each
Advisor's readiness for Year 2000.
The most likely and most significant risk to the Partnership
associated with the lack of Year 2000 readiness is the failure of outside
organizations, including the commodities exchanges, clearing organizations, or
regulators with which the Partnership interacts to resolve their Year 2000
issues in a timely manner. This risk could involve the inability to determine
the value of the Partnership at some point in time and would make effecting
purchases or redemptions of Units in the Partnership infeasible until such
valuation was determinable.
SSB has successfully participated in industry-wide testing
including: The Streetwide Beta Testing organized by the Securities Industry
Association (SIA), a government securities clearing test with the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, The Depository Trust Company, and The Bank of New
York, and Futures Industry Association participants test. The firm is also
participating in the streetwide testing which commenced in March 1999.
It is possible that problems may occur that would require some
time to repair. Moreover, it is possible that problems will occur outside SSBH
for which SSBH could experience a secondary effect. Consequently, SSBH is
preparing comprehensive, written contingency plans so that alternative
procedures and a framework for critical decisions are defined before any
potential crisis occurs.
The goal of Year 2000 contingency planning is a set of alternate
procedures to be used in the event of a critical system failure or a failure by
a supplier or counterparty. Planning work was completed in December 1998, and
testing of alternative procedures will be conducted in the first half of 1999.
11
<PAGE>
Results of Operations
During the first quarter ending March 31, 1999, the Partnership's net
asset value per Unit decreased 4.0% from $1,362.28 to $1,307.90, as compared to
an increase of 0.1% in the first quarter of 1998. The Partnership experienced a
net trading loss before brokerage commissions and related fees in the first
quarter of 1999 of $458,584. Losses were primarily attributable to the trading
of commodity futures in currencies, non-U.S interest rates, metals, livestock
and softs partially offset by gains in energy, grains, U.S. interest rates and
indices. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before commissions and
expenses in the first quarter of 1998 40,945. Gains were primarily attributable
to the trading of commodity futures in non-U.S interest rates.and energy and
were partially offset by losses in currencies, grains, metals, U.S. interest
rates, indices and softs.
Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations
and rapid inflation increase the risks involved in commodity trading, but also
increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends
on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisors to
identify correctly those price trends. Price trends are influenced by, among
other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental,
agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and
international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To
the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to identify them,
the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
Interest Income on 80% of the Partnership's daily equity maintained in
cash was earned at the 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by SSB
based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills
maturing in 30 days. Interest income decreased by $25,054 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998. The
decrease in interest income is primarily due to the effect of net redemptions on
the Partnership's equity maintained in cash during 1999.
12
<PAGE>
Brokerage commissions are calculated on the adjusted net asset value on
the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance and
redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations
in the monthly net asset value. Brokerage commissions and fees for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 increased by $7,160 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1998.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership's net
asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance
and redemptions. Management fees increased by $610 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1998.
Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by each
Advisor as defined in the advisory agreements between the Partnership, the
General Partner and each Advisor. There were no incentive fees earned for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 or 1998.
13
<PAGE>
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk
The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive
instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all
or substantially all of the Partnership's assets are subject to the risk of
trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive
instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership's main line of
business.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value
of the Partnership's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and
cash flow. The Partnership's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of
factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates,
equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts,
the diversification effects among the Partnership's open positions and the
liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
The Partnership rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short
positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not
possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect
performance, and the Partnership's past performance is not necessarily
indicative of its future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the
Partnership could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector.
However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership's speculative trading and
the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements
far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading
losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership's experience
to date (i.e., "risk of ruin"). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks
and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the
quantification included in this section should not be considered to constitute
any assurance or representation that the Partnership's losses in any market
sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership's attempts to
manage its market risk.

<PAGE>
The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with
the Partnership's open positions by market category as of March 31, 1999. All
open position trading risk exposures of the Partnership have been included in
calculating the figures set forth below. As of March 31, 1999, the Partnership's
total capitalization was $21,454,730. There has been no material change in the
trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998.
