                          PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

     The financial information set forth below is set forth in the June 30, 1996
Second  Quarter  Report of Silver Screen  Partners II, L.P. (the  "Partnership")
filed herewith as Exhibit 20 and is incorporated herein by reference.

          Balance Sheets -- June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

          Statements  of  Operations  -- For the Three and Six Months ended June
          30, 1996 and 1995.

          Statements  of  Partners'  Equity -- For the Six Months ended June 30,
          1996 and the Year ended December 31, 1995.

          Statements of Cash Flows -- For the Six Months ended June 30, 1996 and
          1995.

          Notes to Financial Statements.

     The financial  statements included herein are unaudited.  In the opinion of
the  management  of  the  Partnership,  all  adjustments  necessary  for a  fair
presentation of the results of operations have been included and all adjustments
are of a normal recurring  nature.  The results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the results of operations
which may be expected for the entire year.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     Results of Operations
     ---------------------

     Revenues  for  the  six  months  and  quarter  ended  June  30,  1996  were
approximately   $43,774,000  and  $145,000,   respectively,   as  compared  with
approximately  $2,864,000 and $2,027,000 for the comparable periods in 1995. The
Partnership  sold its  interest in the Joint  Venture (see  Investment  in Joint
Venture   below)  during  the  six  months  of  1996  resulting  in  a  gain  of
approximately  $43,186,000.  Revenues for the  comparable  period and quarter in
1995  consisted of income from the Joint  Venture of  approximately  $2,793,000.
Interest  income  for the six  months  and  quarter  ended  June  30,  1996  was
approximately  $587,000 and $145,000,  respectively,  as compared to $71,000 and
$26,000  for the  comparable  periods in 1995.  The  increase of $516,000 is the
result of an increase in funds  available for  investment due to the sale of the
investment in the Joint Venture. Interest rates for the first six months of 1996
ranged from 4.80% to 5.79%, while those for the comparable period in 1995 ranged
from 5.67% to 6.04%.



                                       2
<PAGE>


     Expenses  for  the  six  months  and  quarter  ended  June  30,  1996  were
approximately $401,000 and $82,000, respectively, as compared with approximately
$360,000 and $174,000,  respectively,  for the  comparable  period in 1995.  The
increase of  approximately  $41,000 in expenses is attributable to the increased
cost  of the  sale  of  the  Partnership's  interest  in the  Joint  Venture  of
approximately  $57,000 which was offset by a reduction of approximately  $17,000
in payroll related expenses and $1,000 in miscellaneous expenses.

     The Partnership  generated net income of approximately  $43,373,000 for the
six months ended June 30,  1996,  as compared  with net income of  approximately
$2,505,000  for the  comparable  period in 1995.  This increase is primarily the
result of an increase in film revenues.

     The Partnership  committed  approximately  $22,000,000 toward the Completed
Films  pursuant to the Loan  Agreement.  In  addition,  the  Partnership  became
committed to fund ten films and part of one  additional  film with total budgets
amounting to approximately  $150,690,000,  of which  substantially  all has been
expended.  Accordingly,  all  Partnership  Funds  have  been  committed  and the
Partnership will not finance or purchase any additional motion pictures.

     The four Completed Films are:  "Return to Oz," released June 21, 1985; "The
Black Cauldron,"  released July 19, 1985; "My Science Project,"  released August
9, 1985; and "The Journey of Natty Gann," released September 27, 1985. The Joint
Venture Films are: "One Magic Christmas,"  released November 22, 1985; "Down and
Out in Beverly Hills," released January 31, 1986;  "Offbeat," released April 11,
1986;  "Ruthless  People,"  released June 27, 1986; "The Great Mouse Detective,"
released  July 2, 1986 and  re-released  February  14, 1992 under the title "The
Adventures  of the Great Mouse  Detective;"  "Tough Guys,"  released  October 3,
1986; "The Color of Money,"  released  October 17, 1986;  "Outrageous  Fortune,"
released January 30, 1987; "Tin Men," released March 6, 1987 and "Ernest Goes to
Camp," released May 22, 1987.  "Stakeout," which was financed  approximately 75%
by the  Partnership  and 25% by Silver  Screen  Partners  III,  L.P. (a separate
limited  partnership  with the same Managing  General  Partner formed to finance
subsequent Disney films), was released August 5, 1987.

     During  the  quarter  ended June 30,  1996,  the  Partnership  made no cash
distributions to the Partners because revenues generated during the quarter were
insufficient to warrant a distribution.

     Investment in Joint Venture
     ---------------------------

     The  Investment  in the Joint  Venture was  accounted  for using the equity
method of  accounting.  Under the equity  method,  the  investment was initially
recorded  at cost,  and was  thereafter  increased  by  additional  investments,
adjusted  by  the  Partnership's   share  of  the  Joint  Venture's  results  of
operations,  and reduced by distributions  received from the Joint Venture.  The
Joint Venture's fiscal year ended September 30, while the  Partnership's  fiscal
year ends  December 31. On January 1, 1996 the  investment  in the Joint Venture
was $591,842.

     The Partnership  entered into a Letter  Agreement (The "Buyout  Agreement")
with Disney dated September 11, 1995, providing for the sale to Disney of all of
the Partnership's  interest in the Joint Venture.  In accordance with the Buyout
Agreement  the closing of the sale  occurred on January 2, 1996 and the purchase
paid to the  Partnership was $44,678,304 in cash after an adjustment for certain
film revenues  totaling $321,696 received in 1995. The Partnership will continue
to operate until dissolution.  The Partnership  currently expects to dissolve by
year-end. Funds have been reserved for operational purposes, and remaining funds
in reserve at the time of dissolution will be distributed to investors.


     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------

     As of June 30,  1996,  the General  Partners'  capital  accounts  reflect a
deficit of $77,937.  At or prior to  dissolution  this  deficit will be reversed
through  a  special  allocation  to  the  limited  partners.   In  view  of  the
Partnership's   limited   requirements  for  liquidity,   short  and  long  term
evaluations do not anticipate any effect of current capital account  balances on
the Partnership's cash flow.

     The Partnership  has had  discussions  with the New York City Department of
Finance with respect to the Partnership's  unincorporated business tax liability
for periods through  December 31, 1995. The Partnership has recently  reached an
agreement in principle  with New York City in connection  with its liability for
unincorporated  business tax and a final  agreement is expected before the close
of the current  quarter.  It is anticipated  that the amount of liability  under
this final agreement will have no material adverse effect on liquidity.

DEAR LIMITED PARTNER:

     As discussed in previous  correspondence,  Silver Screen  Partners II, L.P.
and the Walt Disney Company agreed on the sale of the Partnership's  interest in
the Joint  Venture.  Accordingly,  on  February  16th,  the  Partnership  made a
distribution  based on this sale. From inception to date, we have  distributed a
total of $276  million,  or a total of $717 per $500 unit for investors who were
part of the first closing in June 1985.

     We will continue to operate the  Partnership  until  dissolution,  which we
hope will take place by  year-end.  Funds  have been  reserved  for  operational
purposes,  and  remaining  funds in reserve at the time of  dissolution  will be
distributed to investors.

     Our  Third  Quarter  Report  will be  mailed  in  October.  If you need any
assistance in the meantime,  please  contact our Investor  Relations  Department
between the hours of 10 A.M. and 2 P.M.

Sincerely,



/s/ Roland W. Betts

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. PARTNERSHIP PROCEEDS

The  Partnership  Agreement  provides that all  Partnership  income,  losses and
distributable  cash ("Proceeds") are distributed 99% to the limited partners and
1% to the general  partners until the Partnership  has satisfied  certain tests.
Thereafter,  all Proceeds will be allocated 85% to the limited  partners and 15%
to the general  partners.  These tests were  satisfied  in the first  quarter of
1994.  Therefore,  all  proceeds  beginning  with the second  quarter  have been
allocated 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the general partners.


2.  TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS

Temporary investments represent investments in commercial paper.


3. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

The investment in the Joint Venture was accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.  Under the equity method,  the investment was initially  recorded at
cost, and was thereafter  increased by additional  investments,  adjusted by the
Partnership's share of the Joint Venture's results of operations, and reduced by
distributions  received from the Joint Venture.  The Joint Venture's fiscal year
ends  September  30, while the  Partnership's  fiscal year ends  December 31. On
January 1, 1996 the investment in the Joint Venture was $591,842.

The Partnership  entered into a Letter  Agreement (the "Buyout  Agreement") with
Disney dated September 11, 1995,  providing for the sale to Disney of all of the
Partnership's  interest  in the Joint  Venture.  In  accordance  with the Buyout
Agreement  the closing of the sale  occurred on January 2, 1996 and the purchase
price paid to the  Partnership  was  $44,678,304 in cash after an adjustment for
certain film revenues totaling $321,696 received in 1995.
