NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
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, 1998 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, 1999 and the results of operations and changes in cash
flows for the six and 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. Casden Properties Inc.
owns a 95.25% economic interest in NAPICO, with the balance owned by
Casden Investment Corporation ("CIC"). CIC, which is wholly owned by
Alan I. Casden, owns 95% of the voting common stock of NAPICO.
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.

JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 (LOSS) PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
Net income (loss) 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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 13 limited
partnerships as of June 30, 1999, after selling its interests in 7
limited partnerships partnership in 1998. The limited partnerships as of
June 30, 1999 own residential low income rental projects consisting of
1,041 apartment units. The mortgage loans of these projects are payable
to or 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.
The Partnership has no carrying value in investments in limited
partnerships as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

</TABLE>
NAPICO, or one of its affiliates, is the general partner and property
management agent for certain of the limited partnerships included above.
Under recent adopted law and policy, the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has determined not to renew the
Housing Assistance Payment ("HAP") Contracts on a long term basis on the
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. The payments under the renewed HAP Contracts are not expected
to be in an amount that would provide sufficient cash flow to permit
owners of properties subject to HAP Contracts to meet the debt service
requirements of existing loans insured by the Federal Housing
Administration of HUD ("FHA") unless such mortgage loans are
restructured. 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 the
Section 8 program.

REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED II
(A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)
Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured mortgage loan can be restructured into a
first mortgage loan which will be amortized on a current basis and a low
interest second mortgage loan payable to FHA which will only be payable
on maturity of the first mortgage loan. This restructuring results in a
reduction in annual debt service payable by the owner of the FHA-insured
mortgage loan and is expected to result in an insurance payment from FHA
to the holder of the FHA- insured loan due to the reduction in the
principal amount. MAHRAA also phases out project- based subsidies on
selected properties serving families not located in rental markets with
limited supply, converting such subsidies to a tenant-based subsidy.
MAHRAA provides that properties begin the restructuring process in
federal fiscal year 1999 (beginning October 1, 1998). On September 11,
1998, HUD issued interim regulations implementing MAHRAA and final
regulations are expected to be issued in 1999. With respect to the local
limited partnerships' expiring HAP Contracts, it is expected that the
HAP payments will be reduced or terminated pursuant to the terms of
MAHRAA.
When the HAP Contracts are subject to renewal, there can be no assurance
that the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has an
investment will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness
under MAHRAA. In addition, 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 is
uncertain.
As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership in 1997 undertook an
extensive review of disposition, refinancing or re-engineering
alternatives for the properties in which the limited partnerships have
invested and are subject to HUD mortgage and rental subsidy programs.
The Partnership has incurred expenses in connection with this review by
various third party professionals, including accounting, legal,
valuation, structural and engineering costs, which amounted to $398,675
through December 31, 1998, including $106,051 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998.
On December 30, 1998, the Partnership sold its limited partnership
interests in 8 local limited partnerships to subsidiaries of Casden
Properties Inc. The sale resulted in cash proceeds to the Partnership of
$5,250,000 and a net gain of $4,002,591, after deducting selling costs.
The cash proceeds were held in escrow at December 31, 1998 and were
collected in 1999. In March 1999, the Partnership made cash
distributions of $4,950,000 to the limited partners and $50,000 to the
general partners, primarily using proceeds from the sale of the
partnership interests.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)
Casden Properties Inc. purchased such limited partner interests for
cash, which it raised in connection with a private placement of its
equity securities. The purchase was subject to, among other things, (i)
the purchase of the general partner interests in the local limited
partnerships by Casden Properties Inc.; (ii) the approval of HUD and
certain state housing finance agencies; and (iii) the consent of the
limited partners to the sale of the local limited partnership interests
held for investment by the Partnership.
In August 1998, a consent solicitation statement was 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. Prior to the sale of the partnership interests,
the consents of the limited partners to the sale and amendments to the
Partnership Agreement were obtained.
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, 1999 and
1998, the fee was $125,254 and $198,840, respectively.
The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The
reimbursement paid to NAPICO was approximately $11,600 and $18,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and is
included in administrative expenses.
NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES
On August 27, 1998, two investors holding an aggregate of eight units of
limited partnership interests in Real Estate Associates Limited III (an
affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner)
and two investors holding an aggregate of five units of limited
partnership interest in Real Estate Associates Limited VI (another
affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner)
commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California against the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other
affiliated entities. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached
their fiduciary duty to the
10

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
limited partners of certain NAPICO managed partnerships and made
materially false and misleading statements in the consent solicitation
statements sent to the limited partners of such partnerships relating to
approval of the transfer of partnership interests in limited
partnerships, owning certain of the properties, to Casden Properties
Inc., which was organized by an affiliate of NAPICO. The plaintiffs seek
equitable relief, as well as compensatory damages and litigation related
costs. The managing general partner of such NAPICO managed partnerships
and the other defendants believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without
merit and intend to contest the action vigorously.
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. It is not expected
that any of the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has
invested will generate cash flow sufficient to provide for distributions
to limited partners in any material amount. The Partnership made a
distributions to investors in June 30, 1999, previously using proceeds
from the disposition of its investments in certain limited partnerships.
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.

On August 27, 1998, two investors holding an aggregate of eight units of
limited partnership interests in Real Estate Associates Limited III (an
affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner)
and two investors holding an aggregate of five units of limited
partnership interest in Real Estate Associates Limited VI (another

their fiduciary duty to the limited partners of certain NAPICO managed
partnerships and made materially false and misleading statements in the
consent solicitation statements sent to the limited partners of such
partnerships relating to approval of the transfer of partnership
interests in limited partnerships, owning certain of the properties, to
Casden Properties Inc., which was organized by an affiliate of NAPICO.
The plaintiffs seek equitable relief, as well as compensatory damages
and litigation related costs. The managing general partner of such
NAPICO managed partnerships and the other defendants believe that the
plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intend to contest the action
vigorously.
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. 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 order dated
September 24, 1996, the Court dismissed the first through fourth, sixth
and seventh causes of action. On December 22, 1997, the Appellate
Division 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 lawsuits are related to the partnership.
