                        REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED II
                       (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1997


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        GENERAL

        The information contained in the following notes to the financial
        statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual
        audited financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements
        included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial
        statements and related notes thereto contained in the annual report for
        the year ended December 31, 1996 prepared by Real Estate Associates
        Limited II (the "Partnership"). Accounting measurements at interim dates
        inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The
        results of operations for the interim period presented are not
        necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

        In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited financial
        statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal
        recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
        as of March 31, 1997 and the results of operations and changes in cash
        flows for the three months then ended.

        The general partners have a 1 percent interest in profits and losses of
        the Partnership. The limited partners have the remaining 99 percent
        interest which is allocated in proportion to their respective individual
        investments. National Partnership Investments Corp. (NAPICO) is the
        corporate general partner of the Partnership.

        USE OF ESTIMATES

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

        METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

        The investment in limited partnerships is accounted for on the equity
        method. Acquisition fees, selection fees and other costs related to the
        acquisition of the projects were capitalized as part of the investment
        account and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
        estimated lives of the underlying assets, which is generally 30 years.

        NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

        Net income per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the
        limited partners' share of net income by the number of limited
        partnership interests outstanding during the year. The number of limited
        partnership interests was 10,693 for the periods presented.

        CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank certificates of
        deposit with an original maturity of three months or less. The
        Partnership has its cash and cash equivalents are in excess of the FDIC
        insurance limit.

        INCOME TAXES

        No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying
        financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the liability of the
        individual partners.

        IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
        121, Account for the Improvement of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
        Assets To Be Disposed Of as of January 1, 1996 without a significant
        effect on its financial statements. The Partnership reviews long-lived
        assets to determine if there has been any permanent impairment whenever
        events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
        the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash
        flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Partnership
        recognizes an impairment loss.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

        The Partnership has limited partnership interests in 21 limited
        partnerships. The limited partnerships own residential rental projects
        consisting of 2,430 apartment units. The mortgage loans of these
        projects are insured by various governmental agencies.

        The Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to between 85 percent
        and 99 percent of the profits and losses of the limited partnerships.

        Equity in losses of limited partnerships is recognized in the financial
        statements until the limited partnership investment account is reduced
        to a zero balance. Losses incurred after the limited partnership
        investment account is reduced to zero are not recognized.

        Distributions from the limited partnerships are accounted for as a
        return of capital until the investment balance is reduced to zero or to
        a negative amount equal to further capital contributions required.
        Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income.

         NAPICO, or one of its affiliates, is the general partner and property
         management agent for certain of the limited partnerships included
         above.

NOTE 3 - MANAGEMENT FEE AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER

         Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited
         Partners, the Partnership is liable to NAPICO for an annual management
         fee equal to .4% of the originals invested assets of the limited
         partnerships. Invested assets are defined as the costs of acquiring
         project interests, including the proportionate amount of the mortgage
         loans related to the Partnership's interests in the capital accounts of
         the respective partnerships. For the three months ended March 31, 1997
         and 1996, the fee was $99,420.

NOTE 3 - MANAGEMENT FEE AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER (CONTINUED)

         The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The
         reimbursement paid to NAPICO was approximately $7,827 and $7,473 for
         the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and is
         included in administrative expenses.

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES

         The corporate general partner is involved in various lawsuits arising
         from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the
         Partnership is involved in a lawsuit. In the opinion of management and
         the corporate general partner, the claims will not result in any
         material liability to the Partnership.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about
         Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value
         information about financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets
         and liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require such
         disclosure approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.

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

       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Partnership's primary sources of funds include interest income earned
       from investing available cash and distributions from limited partnerships
       in which the Partnership has invested.

       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Partnership revenues consist primarily of interest income earned on
       certificates of deposit and other temporary investment of funds not
       required for investment in local partnerships.

       Operating expenses consist primarily of recurring general and
       administrative expenses and professional fees for services rendered to
       the Partnership. In addition, an annual Partnership management fee in an
       amount equal to .4 percent of invested assets is payable to the corporate
       general partner. Operating expenses are consistent with the prior year.

       The Partnership accounts for its investments in the local limited
       partnerships on the equity method, thereby adjusting its investment
       balance by its proportionate share of the income or loss of the local
       limited partnerships. Losses incurred after the limited partnership
       investment account is reduced to zero are not recognized in accordance
       with the equity accounting method.

       Distributions received from limited partnerships are recognized as return
       of capital until the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a
       negative amount equal to future capital contributions required.
       Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income.

       Except for certificates of deposit and money market funds the
       Partnership's investments are entirely interests in other limited
       partnerships owning government assisted projects. Available cash is
       invested in these funds earning interest income as reflected in the
       statements of operations. These investments can be converted to cash to
       meet obligations as they arise.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

       Joseph Alizio v. Peter Perpignano, New Haven Plaza Associates, Real
       Estate Associates Limited II, National Partnership Investments Corp. and
       National Partnership Associates, Supreme Court of the State of New York,
       County of Nassau, Case No. 1776-94. On January 21, 1994, the Plaintiff
       filed a lawsuit seeking to dissolve the New Haven Local Partnership,
       alleging that he was denied his pro rata share of the capital
       contribution, management fees, consultants fees and profits. REAL II
       filed a motion to dismiss the complaint which motion was granted on
       November 10, 1994. The case was appealed and argued on February 9, 1996.
       Documents were refiled and all cases were dismissed in February of 1997,
       with exception of one accounting issue. REAL II is now waiting for a
       decision on the final matter from the appellate court.

       The corporate general partner is involved in various lawsuits. None of
       these are related to the Partnership.


ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K
