                       (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Nature of Operations

          IEA Marine Container Fund II (A California Limited Partnership) (the
          "Partnership") was organized under the laws of the State of California
          on January 3, 1980 for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo
          containers. The managing general partner is Cronos Capital Corp.
          ("CCC"); the associate general partner is Smith Barney Shearson, Inc.
          CCC, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the "Leasing
          Company"), manages and controls the business of the Partnership.

     (b)  Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement

          Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, all
          authority to administer the business of the Partnership is vested in
          CCC. CCC has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the
          Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing
          operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the
          Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing, managing
          and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and has
          full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and
          services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the
          Leasing Company to use the containers owned by the Partnership,
          together with other containers owned or managed by the Leasing Company
          and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated without regard
          to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets the definition
          of an operating lease in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
          (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a lease under which the
          Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee.

          The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing
          Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals
          collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating
          expenses and management fees to CCC. The Leasing Company leases
          containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which
          are either master leases or term leases (mostly two to five years).
          Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be
          leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow
          the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various
          locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and
          the applicable per-diem rate. Accordingly, rentals under master leases
          are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers used.
          Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master leases;
          leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material to the
          financial statements. Since there are no material minimum lease
          rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in these
          financial statements.

     (c)  Basis of Accounting

          The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Revenue is
          recognized when earned.

     (d)  Financial Statement Presentation

          These financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain
          information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
          statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          procedures have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial
          statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
          accompanying notes in the Partnership's latest annual report on Form
          10-K.

     (d)  Financial Statement Presentation - (Continued)

          The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect all
          adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion
          of management, necessary to a fair statement of the financial
          condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

(2)  Net Lease Receivables Due from Leasing Company

     Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company are determined by
     deducting direct operating payables and accrued expenses, and base
     management fees payable to CCC, the Leasing Company, and its affiliates
     from the rental billings payable by the Leasing Company to the Partnership
     under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the
     Partnership. Net lease receivables at September 30, 1995 and December 31,
     1994 were as follows;

     Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses and
     management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company, from the rental revenue
     billed by the Leasing Company under operating leases to ocean carriers for
     the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease revenue for the three
     and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, was as follows:

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
          Results of Operations

It is suggested that the following discussion be read in conjunction with the
Registrant's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

1)   Material changes in financial condition between September 30, 1995 and 
     December 31, 1994.

     As discussed in prior quarterly reports, the Managing General Partner has
     focused its efforts on liquidating the remaining equipment in the fleet and
     winding up the Registrant's operations. Accordingly, during the first nine
     months of 1995, the Registrant disposed of 1,290 containers, equal to
     approximately 23% of its original fleet. Of this amount, 895 containers
     were sold during the second quarter of 1995, pursuant to an agreement with
     an unrelated party. The purchase price of these 895 containers totaled
     $632,577, which equaled approximately 105% of the containers' net book
     value. The proceeds from this and other container sales have been retained
     as part of working capital, ensuring the availability of sufficient cash
     balances during the period preceding the wind up of operations, as cash
     expenditures for investor processing, tax, legal and audit services, should
     be in excess of cash generated from operations. At September 30, 1995, the
     Registrant's remaining fleet consisted of 53 containers. These remaining
     containers have been targeted for disposal during the fourth quarter of
     1995.

     The diminishing fleet size contributed to declines in the Registrant's
     lease receivables, direct operating payables and accrued expenses, and the
     reserve for container repairs covered under the damage protection plan.
     During the fourth quarter of 1995, a concentrated effort will be made to
     collect the Registrant's remaining lease receivables and extinguish its
     remaining payables, with the intent to wind up the Registrant's operations
     by December 31, 1995 or early 1996.

2)   Material changes in the results of operations between the three and
     nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and the three and nine-month
     periods ended September 30, 1994.

     During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995,
     approximately 98% and 39%, respectively, of the Registrant's earnings were
     from gain on disposal of equipment, as compared to 32% and 22% for the same
     periods in the prior year. Net lease revenues were lower as a direct result
     of these disposals.

     The diminishing fleet size has had its greatest impact on gross rental
     revenue, a component of net lease revenue, resulting in a decline of 95%
     and 54% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995,
     respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1994. Rental equipment
     operating expenses declined 77% and 35% over the same three and nine-month
     periods in the prior year. These amounts consisted of, but were not limited
     to, expenses associated with the recovery actions against the doubtful
     accounts of certain lessees, including legal and container recovery
     expenses, as well as the related provision for doubtful accounts.

     The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and
     nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

</TABLE>


     During the remaining period in the wind up phase of operations, the
     Registrant expects to incur net losses, as certain costs including investor
     processing, tax, legal and audit expenses, should be in excess of net lease
     revenues generated from operations. The Registrant has increased its cash
     reserves in anticipation of these expected losses.
