                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 1998


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, 1997 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 June 30, 1998 and the results of operations for the six and three
         months then ended and changes in cash flows for the six 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. NAPICO is a wholly
         owned subsidiary of Casden Investment Corporation, which is wholly
         owned by Alan I. Casden.

         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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         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 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 the United States Department of Housing and
         Urban Development ("HUD") or state 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.

         The difference between the investment per the accompanying balance
         sheets at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the deficiency per
         the unaudited combined estimated statements of operations is due
         primarily to cumulative unrecognized equity in losses of certain
         limited partnerships, costs capitalized to the investment account and
         cumulative distributions recognized as income.

         The following are unaudited combined estimated statements of operations
         for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 for the

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

           Under recently adopted law and policy, HUD has determined not to
           renew housing assistance payments contracts ("HAP Contracts") on
           their existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP
           Contracts under such new law and policy, the amount of rental
           assistance payments under renewed HAP Contracts will be based on
           market rentals instead of above market rentals, which was generally
           the case under existing HAP Contracts. As a result, existing HAP
           Contracts that are renewed in the future on projects insured by the
           Federal Housing Administration of HUD ("FHA") will not provide
           sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties to meet the debt
           service requirements of these existing FHA-insured mortgages. In
           order to address the reduction in payments under HAP Contracts as a
           result of this new policy, the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform
           and Affordability Act of

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                  JUNE 30, 1998


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)

           1997 ("MAHRAA"), which was adopted in October 1997, provides for the
           restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA with respect to
           properties subject to HAP Contracts that have been renewed under the
           new policy. The restructured loans will be held by the current lender
           or another lender. Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured mortgage loan can be
           restructured to reduce the annual debt service on such loan. There
           can be no assurance that the Partnership will be permitted to
           restructure its mortgage indebtedness pursuant to the new HUD rules
           implementing MAHRAA or that the Partnership would choose to
           restructure such mortgage indebtedness if it were eligible to
           participate in the MAHRAA program. It should be noted that there are
           uncertainties as to the economic impact on the Partnership of the
           combination of the reduced payments under the HAP Contracts and the
           restructuring of the existing FHA-insured mortgage loans under
           MAHRAA. Accordingly, the General Partners are unable to predict with
           certainty their impact on the Partnership's future cash flow.

           As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership is undergoing an
           extensive review of the properties in which the limited partnerships
           have invested that are subject to HUD mortgages and which may be sold
           to the REIT as set forth below. The Partnership has incurred expenses
           in connection with this review by various third party professionals,
           including accounting, legal, valuation, structural review and
           engineering costs, which amounted to approximately $244,000 through
           June 30, 1998, including approximately $106,000 for the six months
           ended June 30, 1998, which are included in general and administrative
           expenses.

           A real estate investment trust ("REIT") organized by affiliates of
           NAPICO has advised the Partnership that it intends to make a proposal
           to purchase from the Partnership certain of the limited partnership
           interests held for investment by the Partnership.

           The REIT proposes to purchase such limited partnership interests for
           cash, which it plans to raise in connection with a private placement
           of its equity securities. The purchase is subject to, among other
           things, (i) consummation of such private placement by the REIT; (ii)
           the purchase of the general partnership interests in the local
           limited partnerships by the REIT; (iii) the approval of HUD and
           certain state housing finance agencies; (iv) the consent of the
           limited partners to the sale of the local limited partnership
           interests held for investment by REAL II; and (v) the consummation of
           a minimum number of purchase transactions with other NAPICO
           affiliated partnerships. As of June 30, 1998, the REIT had completed
           buy-out negotiations with a majority of the general partners of the
           local limited partnerships.

           A consent solicitation statement will be sent to the limited partners
           setting forth the terms and conditions of the purchase of the limited
           partners' interests held for investment by the Partnership, together
           with certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and other
           disclosures of various conflicts of interest in connection with the
           proposed transaction.

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 percent of the original 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 six months
           ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the fee was $198,840.

           The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The
           reimbursement paid to NAPICO was approximately $17,597 and $16,000
           for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, 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.

           The Partnership has assessed the potential impact of the Year 2000
           computer systems issue on its operations. The Partnership believes
           that no significant actions are required to be taken by the
           Partnership to address the issue and that the impact of the Year 2000
           computer systems issue will not materially affect the Partnership's
           future operating results or financial condition.

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.

         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.

         Under recently adopted law and policy, HUD has determined not to renew
         housing assistance payments contracts ("HAP Contracts") on their
         existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under
         such new law and policy, the amount of rental assistance payments under
         renewed HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals instead of above
         market rentals, which was generally the case under existing HAP
         Contracts. As a result, existing HAP Contracts that are renewed in the
         future on projects insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD
         ("FHA") will not provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of
         properties to meet the debt service requirements of these existing
         FHA-insured mortgages. In order to address the reduction in payments
         under HAP Contracts as a result of this new policy, the Multi-family
         Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 ("MAHRAA"), which
         was adopted in October 1997, provides for the restructuring of mortgage
         loans insured by the FHA with respect to properties subject to HAP
         Contracts that have been renewed under the new policy. The restructured
         loans will be held by the current lender or another lender. Under
         MAHRAA, an FHA-insured mortgage loan can be restructured to reduce the

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

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         to the new HUD rules implementing MAHRAA or that the Partnership would
         choose to restructure such mortgage indebtedness if it were eligible to
         participate in the MAHRAA program. It should be noted that there are
         uncertainties as to the economic impact on the Partnership of the
         combination of the reduced payments under the HAP Contracts and the
         restructuring of the existing FHA-insured mortgage loans under MAHRAA.
         Accordingly, the General Partners are unable to predict with certainty
         their impact on the Partnership's future cash flow.

         As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership is undergoing an
         extensive review of the properties in which the limited partnerships
         have invested that are subject to HUD mortgages and which may be sold
         to the REIT as set forth below. The Partnership has incurred expenses
         in connection with this review by various third party professionals,
         including accounting, legal, valuation, structural review and
         engineering costs, which amounted to approximately $244,000 through
         June 30, 1998, including approximately $106,000 for the six months
         ended June 30, 1998, which are included in general and administrative
         expenses.

         A real estate investment trust ("REIT") organized by affiliates of
         NAPICO has advised the Partnership that it intends to make a proposal
         to purchase from the Partnership certain of the limited partnership
         interests held for investment by the Partnership.

         The REIT proposes to purchase such limited partnership interests for
         cash, which it plans to raise in connection with a private placement of
         its equity securities. The purchase is subject to, among other things,
         (i) consummation of such private placement by the REIT; (ii) the
         purchase of the general partnership interests in the local limited
         partnerships by the REIT; (iii) the approval of HUD and certain state
         housing finance agencies; (iv) the consent of the limited partners to
         the sale of the local limited partnership interests held for investment
         by REAL II; and (v) the consummation of a minimum number of purchase
         transactions with other NAPICO affiliated partnerships. As of June 30,
         1998, the REIT had completed buy-out negotiations with a majority of
         the general partners of the local limited partnerships.

         A consent solicitation statement will be sent to the limited partners
         setting forth the terms and conditions of the purchase of the limited
         partners' interests held for investment by the Partnership, together
         with certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and other
         disclosures of various conflicts of interest in connection with the
         proposed transaction.

         The Partnership has assessed the potential impact of the Year 2000
         computer systems issue on its operations. The Partnership believes that
         no significant actions are required to be taken by the Partnership to
         address the issue and that the impact of the Year 2000 computer systems
         issue will not materially affect the Partnership's future operating
         results or financial condition.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         Joseph Alizio v. Peter Perpignano, New Haven Plaza Associates, et al.,
         Index No. 1776/94, Supreme Court, Nassau County. This action was
         commenced by Joseph Alizio, a limited partner in New Haven Plaza
         Associates ("New Haven Plaza"), alleging seven causes of action.
         Plaintiff sought to recover his pro rata share of $280,000,
         representing a portion of the purchase price of the partnership
         interest purchased by Real Estate Associates Limited II ("REAL II"), as
         well as an accounting. By notice of motion, dated May 9, 1996,
         defendants Perpignano, New Haven Plaza, Macagnone, REAL II, National
         Partnership Investments Corp. and National Partnership Investments
         Associates moved to dismiss the first through fourth, sixth and seventh
         causes of action. By Memorandum Decision and Order, dated September 24,
         1996, the Court granted the motion. Thereafter, appeals were taken,
         other motions made and on December 22, 1997, the Appellate Division,
         Second Department, affirmed the dismissal of the first through fourth,
         sixth and seventh causes of action. The fifth cause of action is still
         pending in which plaintiff seeks his pro rata share of a $75,000
         consultant's fee paid to defendant Perpignano by Real II and its
         general partners.

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