                          PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

     The  financial  information  set forth  below is set forth in the March 31,
1996 First Quarter Report of Silver Screen Partners II, L.P. (the "Partnership")
filed herewith as Exhibit 20 and is incorporated herein by reference.

                    Balance Sheets -- March 31, 1996 and December
                    31, 1995.

                    Statements  of  Operations  -- For the  Three
                    Months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

                    Statements  of  Partners'  Equity  -- For the
                    Three  Months  ended  March 31,  1996 and the
                    Year ended December 31, 1995.

                    Statements  of Cash  Flows  -- For the  Three
                    Months ended March 31, 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 three months
ended March 31, 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 three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 were  approximately
$43,629,000,  as compared with  approximately  $837,000 for the comparable three
months in 1995.  The  Partnership  sold its  interest in the Joint  Venture (see
Investment in Joint Venture below) during the first quarter of 1996 resulting in
a Gain of Sale of approximately $43,186,000.  Revenues for the comparable period
in 1995  consisted of income from the Joint Venture of  approximately  $792,000.
Interest  Income for the three  months  ended March 31,  1996 was  approximately
$442,000 as compared with  approximately  $45,000 for the  comparable  period in
1995.  The increase of $398,000 is the result of an increase in funds  available
for investment  due to the sale of the interest in the Joint  Venture.  Interest
rates for the first three 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

     Expenses  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 were  approximately
$319,000 as compared with  approximately  $186,000 for the comparable  period in
1995.  The  increase  of  approximately  $133,000  in  expense  is  attributable
primarily  to the cost of the sale of the  Partnership's  interest  in the Joint
Venture.

     The Partnership  generated net income of approximately  $43,309,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared with net income of  approximately
$651,000 for the comparable  period in 1995.  This increase is caused  primarily
from the Sale of the Joint Venture's interest.

     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  March  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  made cash
distributions to the Partners which amounted to approximately $37,500,000 in the
aggregate.

     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
price paid to the  Partnership  was  $44,678,304 in cash after an adjustment for
certain  film  revenues  totaling   $321,696   received  in  1995.   Appropriate
distribution  will be made to the partners and the Partnership will be dissolved
as quickly as possible.


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

     As of March 31, 1996,  the General  Partners'  capital  accounts  reflect a
deficit  of  $87,427.  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.

     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. To date,  we have  distributed a total of $276
million or $717 per $500 unit for  investors  who were part of the first closing
in June 1985.


     Although we have received and  distributed  proceeds from the sale, we will
continue  operations since we are required to produce quarterly  information and
maintain investor records until dissolution.  Funds have been reserved for these
purposes.  Remaining  funds  in  reserve  at the  time  of  dissolution  will be
distributed to investors.


     Our  Second  Quarter  Report  will be  mailed  in  July.  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,
Roland W. Betts
President

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.
