                     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 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.

          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)

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

           (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.

      (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 March
          31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were 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 March 31, 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, focusing on the
          collection of its lease receivables and payment of its direct
          operating payables and accrued expenses. Accordingly, at March 31,
          1996, gross lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts, declined
          $20,236 from December 31, 1995, while direct operating payables and
          accrued expenses remained consistent. In subsequent quarters, the
          Registrant will refrain 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 relating to its final liquidation and
          subsequent dissolution. The Registrant anticipates that after the
          remaining net lease receivables and liabilities are collected and
          discharged during 1996, or as soon as practicable, the Registrant will
          undertake a final distribution to its partners and proceed to cancel
          the Certificate of Limited Partnership. The Partnership will then be
          dissolved.

2)        Material changes in the results of operations between the three-month
          period ended March 31, 1996 and the three-month period ended March 31,
          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 net earnings of
          $4,502 during the first quarter of 1996, as interest income, the
          Registrant's sole source of income, was in excess of other general and
          administrative expenses. During the remaining period in the wind up
          phase of operations, the Registrant expects to incur net losses, as
          certain other general and administrative expenses including investor
          processing, tax, legal, and audit expenses, should be in excess of any
          other income generated by the Registrant.
