                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(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 entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the Leasing
          Company had the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all
          equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the
          Leasing Company was responsible for leasing, managing and re-leasing
          the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and had full discretion
          over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services it dealt
          with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permitted 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 has
          been accounted for as a lease under which the Partnership is lessor
          and the Leasing Company is the lessee.

          The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provided that the Leasing
          Company 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 of the
          Partnership's containers were 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.

          The Partnership has determined that for accounting purposes the
          Leasing Agent Agreement is a lease, and the receivables, payables,
          gross revenues and operating expenses attributable to the containers
          managed by the Leasing Company are, for accounting purposes, those of
          the Leasing Company and not of the Partnership. Consequently, the
          Partnership's balance sheets and statements of operations display the
          payments to be received by the Partnership from the Leasing Company as
          the Partnership's receivables and revenues.

                                                                     (Continued)

     (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.

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the Partnership 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 the reported amounts of
          revenues and expenses during the reported period.

          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.

          For comparative purposes, prior year's accounts payable and accrued
          expenses have been reclassified to conform to the current year
          presentation.

(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, 1996 and December 31,
     1995 were as follows:

(3)  Net Lease Revenue

     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 (expense) for
     the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, 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, 1996 and
     December 31, 1995.

     As discussed in the Registrant's report for the year ended December 31,
     1995, the Registrant's remaining containers were disposed of during 1995.
     The Registrant is currently in the final phase of the liquidation and wind
     up stage of operations. During this phase, the Registrant refrained from
     distributing cash generated from operations and sales proceeds to its
     partners, reserving all excess cash as part of its working capital in order
     to maintain sufficient cash reserves for expenses related to its final
     liquidation and subsequent dissolution. During the first nine months of
     1996, the Registrant focused on the collection of its lease receivables and
     payment of its direct operating payables and accrued expenses. At September
     30, 1996, the remaining gross lease receivables were deemed to be
     uncollectible and accordingly, charged against the existing allowance for
     doubtful accounts. Additionally, at September 30, 1996, the Registrant
     accrued for the remaining costs associated with the termination of the
     Partnership, including, but not limited to, accounting, tax, and legal
     fees. The Registrant anticipates that during the fourth quarter of 1996 it
     will discharge the remaining direct operating payables and accrued
     expenses, undertake a final distribution to its partners, cancel the
     Certificate of Limited Partnership and terminate the Partnership.


2)   Material changes in the results of operations between the three and
     nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and the three and nine-month
     periods ended September 30, 1995.

     At the beginning of 1995, the Registrant had 1,343 containers remaining in
     its fleet. These containers were disposed of during 1995. Accordingly, the
     Registrant's container operations ceased during the fourth quarter of 1995.
     The Registrant experienced a net loss of $33,756 and $37,902 during the
     three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as
     interest income, the Registrant's sole source of income, was in excess of
     other general and administrative expenses. Rental equipment operating
     expenses, a component of net lease revenue, were $25,309 and $38,306 during
     the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively.
     These amounts consisted of costs associated with the recovery actions
     against the doubtful accounts of certain lessees, including legal expenses
     and the provision for doubtful accounts. General and administrative
     expenses included investor processing, tax, legal, and audit expenses.
