VENTURE LENDING & LEASING II, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MARCH 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY:

Venture Lending & Leasing II, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in Maryland 
on May 19, 1997 as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment 
company electing status as a business development company under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940.  Prior to commencing its operations on 
September 15, 1997 the Fund had no operations other than the sale to Westech 
Investment Advisors, Inc. ("Westech Advisors") of fifty shares of Common 
Stock, $.001 par value ("common stock"), for $50,000.  Commencing with the 
first year of its investment operations, the Fund will seek to meet the 
requirements, including diversification requirements, to qualify as a 
regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Fund were paid 
initially by Westech Advisors, however, the Fund reimbursed Westech Advisors 
for such cost and paid other organizational costs directly which total 
approximately $198,000 as of March 31, 1998.  This amount has been deferred 
and is being amortized on the straight-line basis over a period of 60 months 
from the date the Fund commenced operations. 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The preparation of financial statements in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and 
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date 
of the financials statements and the reported amounts and revenues and 
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - The Fund anticipates that substantially all of its 
portfolio investments (other than short-term investments) will consist of 
securities that at the time of acquisition are subject to restrictions on 
sale and for which no ready market will exist.  Venture loans and leases are 
privately negotiated transactions, and there is no established trading market 
in which such loans or leases can be sold.  Substantially all the Fund's 
investments are restricted securities that cannot be sold publicly without 
prior agreement with the issuer to register the securities under the 1933 
Act, or by selling the securities under Rule 144 or the rules under the 1933 
Act which permit only limited sales under specified conditions.

Investment in loans and leases are valued at their original purchase price 
less amortization of principal unless, pursuant to procedures established by 
the Fund's Board of Directors, Westech Advisors determines that amortized 
cost does not represent fair value.  Short-term debt instruments with 60 days 
or less remaining to maturity are valued by the amortized cost method.

VENTURE LENDING & LEASING II, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MARCH 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund does not hold any short-term debt instruments that have a period of 
maturity exceeding 60 days.

Warrants that are received in connection with loan and lease transactions 
generally are valued at a nominal value assigned at the time of acquisition, 
which generally occurs at the first drawdown under the commitment, 
thereafter, warrants with readily ascertainable market values will be 
assigned a fair value based on the difference, if any, between the exercise 
price of the warrant and the market value of equity securities for which the 
warrants may be exercised, adjusted for illiquidity.

CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash & cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, 
demand deposits in banks and repurchase agreements with original maturities 
of 90 days or less.

LOANS & LEASES - Unearned income and commitment fees on loans and leases are 
recognized using the effective interest method over the term of the loan or 
lease.  Commitment fees represent fees received for commitments upon which no 
drawdowns have yet been made.  The fee is included in unearned income and 
recognized as described above.

RESERVES FOR LOSSES ON LOANS - Reserves for losses on loans are maintained at 
levels that, in the opinion of management, are adequate to absorb losses 
incurred in the loan portfolio.  As of March 31, 1998 the Fund has no reserve 
for non-performing loans.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS - Unless and until the Fund meets the requirements to 
qualify as a RIC, it will be taxed as an ordinary corporation on its taxable 
income for that year (even if that income is distributed to its shareholders) 
and all distributions out of its earnings and profits will be taxable to 
shareholders as ordinary income.  If and when the Fund qualifies as a RIC, it 
will not pay any federal corporate income tax on income which is distributed 
to shareholders (pass-through status).

EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earnings per share computations are computed using the 
weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares 
assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.  
As of March 31, 1998 there are no common stock equivalents outstanding.

3. SUMMARY OF LOANS AND LEASES:

Loans and leases generally are made to borrowers pursuant to commitments 
whereby the Fund commits to finance assets up to a specified amount for the 
term of the commitment, upon the terms and subject to the conditions 
specified by such commitment.  At March 31, 1998, there are commitments to 30 
clients totaling $57.3 million of which $16.4 million in loans and leases 
have been disbursed with $14.8 million outstanding.

The Fund provides asset-based financing primarily to start-up and emerging 
growth venture-capital-backed companies.  As a result, the Fund is subject to 
general credit risk associated with such companies.

4. WARRANTS:

Warrants are acquired to purchase equity securities of borrower or lessee in 
connection with asset financings.  As of March 31, 1998 the Fund held 
warrants in one publicly traded company.  Because of the illiquid nature of 
these warrants, they have been assigned a nominal value of $455 thousand.

5. LONG - TERM DEBT FACILITY:

The Fund has in place a $35 million revolving credit warehouse facility to 
finance the acquisition of asset-based loans and leases.  Outstanding 
balances bear interest at either the financial institution's prime rate or 
1.15% above LIBOR. The Fund pays a commitment fee of .25% annually on the 
total average amount of unused commitment with respect to this facility.

Borrowings under the facility are collateralized by the assets financed by 
the Fund under loans and leases with assignment to the financial institution, 
plus other assets of the Fund.

As of March 31, 1998 the Fund had $9 million outstanding under this facility.

6. CAPITAL STOCK:

There are 200,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock authorized.  
11,000 shares were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 1998.

VENTURE LENDING & LEASING II, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MARCH 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund has subscription agreements in effect with its shareholders under 
which shareholders will purchase shares of the Fund, up to their full 
committed capital amount, upon capital calls delivered at least fifteen days 
before payment is due.  Based on $110 million subscriptions received by the 
final closing during December 1997, $99 million in unfunded and uncalled 
capital commitments remained outstanding as of March 31, 1998.

7. MANAGEMENT:

Westech Advisors serves as the Fund's Investment Manager and Siguler Guff 
Advisers (the "Adviser") will serve as adviser to Westech Advisors with 
respect to Westech Advisors' administrative duties to the Fund.  As 
compensation for their services to the Fund, Westech Advisors and the Adviser 
to Westech Advisors, together, will receive a management fee ("Management 
Fee"), at an annual rate of 2.5% of the Fund's committed capital computed and 
paid quarterly for the first two years following the Fund's initial private 
offering; and at an annual rate of 2.5% of the Fund's total assets (including 
amounts derived from borrowed funds) as of the last day of each fiscal 
quarter thereafter.

In addition to the Management Fee, Westech Advisors and the Adviser will 
together receive a monthly incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee") after 
shareholders have received a return of funds ("Payout") equal to the 
following:  (a) cumulative dividends and distributions equal to 100% of all 
amounts paid, as of the date of calculation, by shareholders to the Fund (and 
not including placement fees paid to the Placement Agent by certain of the 
shareholders) for the purchase of Shares plus (b) a preferred return on all 
amounts paid, as of the date of calculation, equal to 8% cumulative, 
non-compounded annual return on such amounts.  After Payout has been 
achieved, all amounts available to be paid as dividends and distributions to 
shareholders in accordance with the Fund's distribution policies will be 
distributed as follows:  80% as dividends to the Fund's shareholders, and 20% 
to Westech Advisors and the Adviser, together, as the Incentive Fee.  The 
Incentive Fee shall not accrue or be paid until the Fund is no longer 
permitted to make capital calls under the Subscription Agreements or 
irrevocably waives any right to do so.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

   Venture Lending & Leasing II, Inc. ("Fund") is a closed-end, 
non-diversified management investment company electing status as a business 
development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act").  
The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high total return.  The Fund 
will provide asset-based financing to carefully selected venture 
capital-backed companies, in the form of secured loans, installment sales 
contracts or equipment leases.  The Fund generally will receive warrants to 
acquire equity securities in connection with its portfolio investments.  

   The Fund's shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value ("Shares") are sold to 
subscribers pursuant to one or more capital calls to be made from time to 
time until September 15, 2001.  The Fund will seek to require payment by 
investors pursuant to each capital call of only that portion of the total 
dollar amount subscribed for that the Fund expects will be needed to fund 
commitments entered into within a reasonable time after such capital call.  
The Fund has made one capital call since inception for a total of 10% of 
committed capital. Total committed capital as of March 31, 1998 was $110 
million; a total of $11.0 million has been called.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

   Total investment income for the period ending March 31, 1998 was $294 
thousand. Investment income consisted of interest on venture loans and cash 
balances outstanding during the period.  Investment income should increase in 
future periods as the Fund continues to make new investments.

   Expenses for the period ending March 31, 1998 were $813 thousand. In 
addition, the Fund posted an unrealized gain on it's investments of $60 
thousand, resulting in net loss of $458 thousand.  On a per share basis, for 
the period ending March 31, 1998 the net loss was $41.66.

   The primary expense of the Fund was the management fee of $688 thousand 
incurred during the period, which is imposed at an annual rate of 2.5% of 
committed capital.  Because the management fee is imposed on committed 
capital, it will represent more than 2.5% of invested assets (and reduce net 
income correspondingly) until invested assets equal or exceed committed 
capital.

   Interest expense for the quarter was $39 thousand as the Fund began to 
borrow against its line of credit. Interest expense is expected to become a 
significant portion of the Fund's operating expense as the Fund begins to use 
borrowed money in addition to its equity capital to fund loans. Expenses 
other than the management fee, and interest expense are relatively fixed and 
should decrease as a percentage of investment income as the Fund's assets 
increase.  Bad debt expenses was zero for the period as the Fund is still 
new. Actual future bad debt expense will depend on the success of the fund's 
investments.

FOR THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 15, 1997 (COMMENCEMENT OF OPERATIONS), 
TO MARCH 31, 1998

Total investment income for the period ending March 31, 1998 was $438 
thousand as the Fund did not commence operations until September 15th. 
Investment income consisted of interest on venture loans and cash balances 
outstanding during the period.  Investment income should increase in future 
periods as the Fund continues to make new investments.

   Expenses for the period ending March 31, 1998 were $1,682 thousand. In 
addition, the Fund posted an unrealized gain on it's investments of $60 
thousand, resulting in net loss of $1,184 thousand.  On a per share basis, 
for the period ending March 31, 1998 the net loss was $122.24.

   The primary expense of the Fund was the management fee of $1,496 thousand 
incurred during the period. Interest expense for the quarter was $39 thousand 
as the Fund began to borrow against its line of credit. Interest expense is 
expected to become a significant portion of the Fund's operating expense as 
the Fund begins to use borrowed money in addition to its equity capital to 
fund loans. Expenses other than the management fee and interest expense are 
relatively fixed and should decrease as a percentage of investment income as 
the Fund's assets increase. Bad debt expenses was zero for the period as the 
Fund is still new. Actual future bad debt expense will depend on the success 
of the fund's investments.

   The Fund incurred $198 thousand in organizational expenses through March 
31, 1998. The Fund reimbursed Westech Advisors for the portion of these costs 
that they paid prior to the closing of the Fund.  This amount has been 
deferred and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 60 
months from the date the Fund commenced operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES -- MARCH 31, 1998

   Total capital committed to the purchase of shares pursuant to subscription 
agreements stood at approximately $110 million at December 31, 1997 when the 
Fund stopped accepting new subscriptions.  As of March 31, 1998, 10% of this 
committed capital was called to fund investments in venture loans and leases 
and to meet the Fund's expenses. Additional capital may be drawn from 
subscribers upon 15 days' notice.

   The Fund established a $35 million credit facility with a syndicate of 
major banks to finance the acquisition of asset-based loans and leases.  

   As of March 31, 1998, 21% of the Fund's assets consisted of cash and cash 
equivalents. The Fund invested $9.9 million in venture loans and leases 
during the last quarter, and net loan amounts outstanding after amortization 
stand at approximately $14.8 million.  Amounts committed but undrawn 
increased to approximately $40.9 million.  Because venture loans and leases 
are privately negotiated transactions, investments in these assets are 
relatively illiquid.

                                      12
<PAGE>

   The Fund will seek to meet the requirements to qualify for the special 
pass-through status available to "regulated investment companies" ("RICs") 
under the Internal Revenue Code, and thus to be relieved of federal income 
tax on that part of its net investment income and realized capital gains that 
it distributes to shareholders.  To meet this requirement, the Fund must, 
among other things, reach a specified level of diversification of its assets. 
If the Fund qualifies as a RIC, it will become subject to continuing 
diversification requirements, as well as other requirements mandating annual 
distributions of net income and realized gain, and limiting the nature and 
source of the Fund's income.  The Fund cannot predict with certainty when or 
if it will achieve RIC status.
