Except for historical  information  contained  herein,  the matters discussed in

provisions   of  the   Securities   Litigation   Reform   Act  of  1995.   These
forward-looking  statements are based largely on the Partnership's  expectations
and are  subject  to a number  of risks  and  uncertainties,  including  but not
limited to, economic,  competitive and other factors affecting the Partnership's
operations,  markets,  property values and other factors discussed  elsewhere in
this report and the documents filed by the  Partnership  with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are beyond the Partnership's control.
Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In
light of these risks and  uncertainties,  there is no assurance that the results
discussed in such  forward-looking  statements contained in this report will, in
fact,  occur.  The  Partnership  does not undertake  any  obligation to publicly

                                     PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

I.R.E.  PENSION INVESTORS,  LTD.-II, a limited  partnership  organized under the
laws of the State of Florida as of September 30, 1985,  is primarily  engaged in
the business of operating  and holding for  investment,  income  producing  real
properties.  Registrant  did not  utilize  borrowings  in  connection  with  the
purchase of its properties.  The Partnership  commenced a public offering of its
units of limited  partnership  interest in October  1985.  The  required  escrow
relative to Registrant was reached and  subscription  funds were  transferred to
Registrant  on  December  26,  1985  ("Inception").  The  Registrant  closed the
offering in October 1987, having raised $12,373,750 in capital and issued 49,491
units of limited partnership  interest at $250 per unit.  Galleria  Professional
Building  and a  minority  interest  in One West Nine Mile  Joint  Venture  were
acquired  during 1986 and the Federal Express  Distribution  Center was acquired
during 1987.  During  December  1991,  the One West Nine Mile Joint  Venture was
sold. No properties were purchased or sold during 1997.

Uninvested  cash of Registrant is deposited in demand  accounts with  commercial
banks and may be invested  temporarily in U.S.  Treasury Bills,  certificates of
deposit or other interest bearing accounts or investments.

Alan B. Levan and I.R.E.  Pension Advisors II, Corp. are the general partners of
Registrant.  I.R.E.  Pension  Advisors II, Corp., as Managing  General  Partner,
manages and controls Registrant's affairs and has general responsibility and the
ultimate authority in all matters affecting Registrant's business.

Affiliates of the general  partners of Registrant also own and operate their own
improved real estate and may have investment  objectives and policies similar to
those  of  Registrant.  Registrant  may be in  competition  with  other  limited
partnerships  served by affiliates of the Managing  General  Partner or by other
companies wherein the individual general partner is a controlling stockholder.

On December 31, 1997,  Registrant  had no employees.  The balance of information
required in Item 1 is either inapplicable or not material to an understanding of
the Registrant's business.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The  properties  listed  below are not utilized by  Registrant  but are held for
investment. All are zoned for their current uses.

   Galleria Professional Office Building    60,965 square                 owned

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS OF I.R.E. PENSION INVESTORS, LTD. - II

A description of the Partnership's investment properties follows:

     *    Galleria  Professional  Building  ("Galleria")  - A 61,000 square foot
          office building located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

     *    Federal Express  Distribution  Center  ("Federal  Express") - A 38,000
          square foot warehouse building located in Jacksonville, Florida.

The  Partnership  was organized in September 1985 and is engaged in the business
of operating and holding for investment,  income producing real  properties.  In
December  1986,  the  Partnership  acquired  Galleria and in December  1987, the
Partnership  acquired  Federal  Express.  Both of the above  properties  are net
leased to their tenants.

Rental income  increased for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the
comparable period in 1996 and 1995 as a result of a scheduled rental increase at
Federal Express, effective July 1995 and July 1997.

Interest  income  increased for the year ended  December 31, 1997 as compared to
the comparable period in 1996 primarily due to increases in investable funds.

During 1996,  the carrying  value of Federal  Express was reduced  approximately
$100,000 to its estimated fair value.

General and  administrative  expense to affiliates  decreased for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to the same periods in 1996 and 1995 primarily due
to  decreased  costs  associated  with  administrative  and  accounting  service
reimbursements.   These  cost   reimbursements   are   associated   with  filing
requirements  to  regulatory  agencies,   tax  return  preparation  and  general
accounting services.

Other general and administrative  expenses decreased for the year ended December
31, 1997 as compared to the same periods in 1996 and 1995  primarily  due to the
interest  accrued on the  rescission of  partnership  units and cost incurred in
1996  pertaining to litigation and legal fees associated with the preparation of
a sale  contract on the Federal  Express  Distribution  Center in 1996 which was
subsequently cancelled.

The lease on Federal  Express  expired on June 30,  1997.  Federal  Express  has
expressed  their intention to relocate to a larger facility and had requested an
extension of their lease  through May 1998.  The  extension  was granted and the
Partnership has begun the search for either a replacement  tenant or a buyer for
the property.  If a replacement tenant is not found,  rental income for 1998 and
1999  will  decrease  by  approximately  $155,000  and  $268,000,  respectively.
Additionally,  the Partnership would incur real estate taxes,  insurance expense
and other  property  maintenance  expenses  which  Federal  Express is currently
responsible for.

When the  Partnership  acquired the Galleria  Professional  Building in 1986, it
executed a net lease with the seller, leasing the property back to the seller on
a totally net basis.  The lease requires a minimum annual rental of $217,000 per
annum plus 10% of the property income, as defined, between $217,000 and $467,000
and 50% of the property income in excess of $467,000. Based on operations of the
property, reflected in information provided by the tenant, no percentage rent is
to be paid for 1997.

At December 31, 1997, the  Partnership  had  approximately  $520,000 of cash and
cash  equivalents and  approximately  $1.7 million in Treasury Bills included in
securities  available for sale. The Partnership has been paying distributions of
2% per annum of original  capital on a quarterly  basis since the fourth quarter
of 1990.

In addition to the items discussed above, the Partnership's  long term prospects
will be  primarily  affected  by future net  income at  Galleria  and  finding a
replacement  for  or  sale  of  the  Federal  Express   building.   Due  to  the
uncertainties  involving  the real  estate  market and the status of the Federal
Express building,  management cannot reasonably determine the Partnership's long
term liquidity position.

                        I.R.E. Pension Investors, Ltd.-II

                          Notes to Financial Statements


(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

I.R.E.  Pension  Investors,  Ltd.  - II (the  "Partnership")  was  organized  on
September 30, 1985 in  accordance  with the  provisions  of the Florida  Uniform
Limited  Partnership  Act to invest in, hold and manage  income  producing  real
estate. A sufficient  amount of capital was raised to allow funds to be released
from escrow to the Partnership on December 26, 1985. The Partnership  closed its
offering  of limited  partnership  units in October  1987  after  having  raised
$12,373,750.

The Managing  General  Partner has  complete  authority  in the  management  and
control of the  Partnership.  I.R.E.  Pension Advisors II, Corp. is the Managing
General  Partner  and Alan B.  Levan is the  individual  General  Partner of the
Partnership.  The  General  Partners  may serve in the same  capacity  for other
entities having similar investment objectives.  Should any conflicts of interest
arise among these  entities,  the  management of the managing  general  partners
will, at their sole discretion, resolve such conflicts.

Basis of Financial Statement  Presentation - The financial  statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles  ("GAAP").
In preparing the financial statements,  management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of the  statements  of financial  condition and income and expenses for
the periods  presented.  Actual  results could differ  significantly  from those
estimates.  A material estimate that is susceptible to significant change in the
next year relates to the determination of the impairment loss on real estate.

Compensation or Reimbursements to General Partners and Affiliates

The  General   Partners   and/or  their   affiliates  are  entitled  to  receive
compensation or reimbursements  only as specified by the Partnership  Agreement.
The  determination  of amount  and  timing of  payment  is  subject  to  certain
limitations and to cash distribution preferences of limited partners.  Following
is a brief description of such compensation and the services to be rendered:

Underwriting Commissions:

     Due upon the sale of Partnership units of interest.

Non-recurring Acquisition Fees:

     Principally  for  evaluating  and  selecting  real  property for  potential
     purchase by the Partnership.

Property Management Fee:

     Due for services in connection  with the continuing  professional  property
     management of the Partnership properties.

Partnership Management Fee:

     Due for services  rendered in evaluating  and selecting  properties for the
     Partnership, reviewing cash requirements including the determination of the
     amount and timing of  distributions,  if any,  making  decisions  as to the
     nature and terms of the  acquisition  and  disposition of such  properties,
     selecting, retaining and supervising consultants,  contractors, architects,
     engineers,  lenders,  borrowers,  agents and others and otherwise generally
     managing the day-to-day operations of the Partnership.

Subordinated Real Estate Commissions:

     Related to sales of Partnership properties.

Interest in Cash from Sales or Financing:

     Due also for services as listed under "Partnership Management Fee".

Interest in Net  Income  and Net  Loss as  Determined  for  Federal  Income  Tax
     Purposes:

     1% of net losses  and the  greater of (a) 1% of net income or (b) an amount
     of such  net  income  which  is in  proportion  to the  percentage  of cash
     distributed to the General Partners as a Partnership  Management Fee or for
     their Interest in Cash From Sales or Financing.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents  include liquid  investments with a maturity of three months or
less.

Securities Available for Sale

The  Partnership's  securities  are  classified  as  available  for sale.  These
securities are carried at fair value, with any related  unrealized  appreciation
or and depreciation  reported as a separate  component of partners  capital.  At
December  31, 1996,  the  Partnership  owned one  treasury  bill that matured in
February 1997 in which cost  approximated  fair value. At December 31, 1997, the
Partnership  owned one treasury bill that matures in February 1998 in which cost
approximated fair value.

Properties

The  properties  are  assets  to be held and used and are  stated at cost in the
accompanying  statements  of  financial  condition.   The  office  building  and
distribution  center are  depreciated  using the  straight-line  method  over an
estimated useful life of 20 years.

Long-lived  assets  to be held  and used by the  Partnership  are  reviewed  for
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying  amount of the asset may not be  recoverable.  In performing the review
for recoverability,  the Partnership estimates the future cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows  (undiscounted  and without interest charges) is less
than the carrying  amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and the
property's  cost  basis  is  reduced.  Measurement  of an  impairment  loss  for
long-lived assets that the Partnership  expects to hold and use are based on the
fair value of the asset.

Income Taxes

The  payment  of income  taxes is the  obligation  of the  individual  partners;
therefore,  there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial
statements.  The  Partnership's tax returns have not been examined by Federal or
state taxing authorities.

Net income or loss  reported  for  income tax  purposes  involves,  among  other
things,  various  determinations  relating  to  properties  purchased.  Although
management of the Partnership believes that such determinations are appropriate,
there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not contest the
Partnership's  tax treatment of various items or, if contested,  such  treatment
will be  sustained  by the  Courts.  Further,  there is a  possibility  that the
Treasury will amend existing regulations or promulgate new regulations, and such
action may be  retroactive.  Accordingly,  the tax status of the Partnership and
the availability of prior and future income tax benefits to limited partners may
be adversely affected.

Financial Reporting

The Partnership  maintains its accounting  records on a modified cash basis. The
accompanying financial statements are presented on an accrual basis.

Rental Income

Rental income is recognized under the operating method whereby aggregate rentals
are reported as income over the life of the lease and the costs and expenses are
charged  against  such  revenue.  Rental  income,  from  leases  with  non-level
payments, is recognized ratably over the term of the lease.

New Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement ("FASB") issued, in June 1997,
FASB  Statement No. 130 ("FAS 130")  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" and FASB
Statement No. 131 ("FAS 131")  "Disclosures  About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information".  FAS 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive
income in financial statements.  This statement requires that all items that are
required  to  be  recognized  under   accounting   standards  as  components  of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. Some of the items included in
comprehensive  income are unrealized gains or losses on securities available for
sale, underfunded pension obligations and employee stock options. FASB Statement
No.131  ("FAS 131")  establishes  standards  for the way that  public  companies
report information about operating  segments in annual financial  statements and
requires  that those  companies  report  selected  information  about  operating
segments in interim financial statements issued to the partners. FAS 130 and FAS
131  are   effective   for  periods   beginning   after   December   15,   1997.
Reclassification  of  financial  statements  for earlier  periods  provided  for
comparative  purposes is  required.  Implementation  of FAS 130 and FAS 131 will
impact  disclosures in the December 31, 1998  Financial  Statements but will not
have  an  impact  on the  Partnership's  Statement  of  Financial  Condition  or
Statement of Operations.

(2) PROPERTIES

Following  is a  brief  description  of the  property  investments  made  by the
Partnership.

Galleria Professional Building

On December  31, 1986,  the  Partnership  purchased a six story office  building
containing 60,965 square feet of net leasable area in Fort Lauderdale,  Florida.
The Partnership  owns a leasehold  interest in a long-term  ground lease for two
parcels of land which  encompass the building site and parking areas.  The lease
commenced  in 1955 and  expires in 2054.  Ground rent is  approximately  $13,000
annually. Every 20 years the ground rent is adjusted to be equal to five percent
of the  then  current  appraised  value  of the  ground.  The  Partnership  also
purchased  the rights to the  parking  agreement  with the  Galleria  Mall.  The
agreement  requires  rental payments and common area  maintenance  charges which
currently aggregate  approximately  $25,000 annually.  The parking agreement and
ground lease have concurrent terms.

Simultaneous  with the acquisition of the property,  the Partnership  executed a
net lease with the seller,  leasing the Property back to the Seller on a totally
net basis.  The terms of the lease  require a minimum  annual rental of $217,000
per annum plus 10% of the  property  income,  as defined,  between  $217,000 and
$467,000 and 50% of the property  income in excess of  $467,000.  In  accordance
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  the  rental  income  will be
recognized  ratably over the term of the lease. The ratable minimum rent through
2001 (the date of the buy/sell option discussed below) after the modification of
the lease on September  1990 is $250,824 per year and such amount is  recognized
annually for financial statement purposes. The seller, as lessee, is responsible
for any and all costs associated with the property, including but not limited to
operating  expenses,  insurance,  taxes, the ground lease and parking  agreement
payments.

Commencing  2002, the Partnership and the tenant have a buy/sell option for this
property,  which may be exercised by either the  Partnership  or the tenant.  In
essence,  this option gives the tenant the right to purchase the property at its
then fair market value or allows the  Partnership to terminate the tenant lease.
As part  of this  option,  $6,000,000  plus  the  excess  between  approximately
$100,000  per month and actual  rent paid  during  the lease term (less  certain
defined  offsets)  can  constitute  the  Partnership's  offer to sell  under the
option.  In such event,  if the tenant  fails to purchase  the  property at such
price,  the  lease  would  be  terminated  and  the  Partnership  would  have no
obligation to pay any part of the offering price to the tenant.

At December  31,  1997,  the  Galleria  Professional  Building  was 100% percent
occupied,  with an average leasing rate of approximately $16.42 per square foot.
As indicated  above,  the lessee is responsible for any and all costs associated
with the property.  Galleria Professional Building is located in Fort Lauderdale
Florida  on the  Middle  River  Waterway.  There  are  several  mid-rise  office
buildings in the area.  Galleria  Mall, a large  regional  shopping  center,  is
located east of this property.  Rental rates of the mid-rise office buildings in
close  proximity to the  Galleria  Professional  Building  were similar to those
being charged by the Galleria Professional Building.

Following is summarized financial  information with respect to operations at the
Galleria office  building.  The following  information is unaudited  because the
Partnership  has no  contractual  right to require the lessee of the property to
provide audited information.

Federal Express Distribution Center

On December 15, 1987, the Partnership purchased,  from an unaffiliated seller, a
one story 37,500 square foot office/warehouse building in Jacksonville, Florida.

The  building  was  designed  for and is  occupied  solely  by  Federal  Express
Corporation  pursuant  to a ten year  lease  which  commenced  June 8,  1987 and
expired June 30, 1997. Federal Express has expressed their intention to relocate
to a larger  facility and had  requested an extension of their lease through May
1998.  The  extension was granted and the  Partnership  has begun the search for
either a  replacement  tenant or a buyer for the  property.  The lease  required
minimum monthly rental payments as follows:

              Term                       Amount
              ----                       ------

     Through June 1992                  $ 18,055
     July 1992 to June 1995             $ 19,860
     July 1995 to June 1997             $ 21,051
     July 1997 to May 1998              $ 22,314

The lease further  requires the tenant to pay all expenses  associated  with the
property  including  repairs and maintenance,  real estate taxes,  insurance and
utilities.

During 1996, the carrying value of Federal Express was reduced by  approximately
$100,000 to its estimated fair value.

Leases

The aggregate  sum of the minimum  lease rental  payments to be received for the
Galleria  Professional Building and the Federal Express Distribution Center over
the five succeeding years is approximately as follows:

(5) OTHER LIABILITIES

Other  liabilities at December 31, 1996 and 1997 consists  primarily of unearned
rental  income,  which,  as  stated in the  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting
Policies (note 1), arises from leases with non-level  payments being  recognized
ratably over the term of the lease.

(6) LITIGATION

During May 1988, an individual  investor  filed an action against two individual
defendants, who allegedly sold securities without being registered as securities
brokers,  two  corporations  organized and controlled by such  individuals,  and
against approximately  sixteen publicly offered limited partnerships,  including
Registrant,  interests  in  which  were  sold by the  individual  and  corporate
defendants.

Plaintiff  alleged  that  the  sale  of  limited  partnership  interests  in the
Partnership  (among other affiliated and  unaffiliated  partnerships) by persons
and  corporations  not  registered  as  securities  brokers  under the  Illinois
Securities Act constitutes a violation of such Act, and that the Plaintiff,  and
all  others  who  purchased  securities  through  the  individual  or  corporate
defendants,  should be permitted to rescind  their  purchases  and recover their
principal  plus  10%  interest  per  year,  less  any  amounts   received.   The
Partnership's  securities were properly  registered in Illinois and the basis of
the action  relates  solely to the  alleged  failure of the Broker  Dealer to be
properly registered.

This matter has been in the Courts  since 1988 and in October  1996,  funds were
placed  in escrow  to  rescind  sales of 271  Partnership  units.  Approximately
$113,000 was placed in escrow  representing  $67,750 for the rescission of units
and  $45,250  for  interest  through  October  1996.  During the  quarter  ended
September 30, 1996, partners' capital, units outstanding,  per unit information,
including income per unit amounts, were adjusted for the rescission of units. In
April 1997, the Courts approved the above as final settlement of this matter.
