NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
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, 1999 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, 2000 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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, 2000
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 LOSS PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
Net loss per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the
limited partners' share of net loss 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, 2000
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 13 limited
partnerships. The limited partnerships as of June 30, 2000 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, 2000 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, 2000
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.
On September 11, 1998, HUD issued interim regulations implementing MAHRAA
and final regulations are expected to be issued in 2000.
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.
On December 30, 1998, after obtaining the consents of the limited
partners, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in 8
local limited partnerships to affiliates of Casden Properties Inc. The
sale resulted in cash proceeds to the Partnership of $5,250,000 which was
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 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, 2000 and
1999, the fee was $93,291 and $125,254, respectively.

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 $7,150 and $11,600 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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 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. On August 4, 1999, one investor holding one
unit of limited partnership interest in Housing Programs Limited (another
affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner)
commenced a virtually identical action in the United States District
Court for the Central District of California against the Partnership,
NAPICO and certain other affiliated entities. The managing general
partner of such NAPICO managed partnerships and the other defendants
believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and are contesting
the actions vigorously.
On December 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership acquired, for value,
title to New Haven Plaza Associates' property in Far Rockaway, New York.
Thereafter, NAPICO commenced an action for declaratory judgment that
NAPICO had the authority to transfer the property and that the value paid
by the Operating Partnership for the property was fair. Defendants have
pled counterclaims alleging that inter alia, NAPICO was not authorized to
transfer the property and breach its fiduciary duties to the limited
partners. Defendants also seek an accounting and distributions of surplus
cash. The parties are in the process of conducting discovery.

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
The corporate general partner is involved in various lawsuits arising
from transactions in the ordinary course of business.
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. 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 on March 12, 1999, primarily 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.

adopted in October 1997, provides for the restructuring of mortgage loans
