Except for historical  information  contained  herein,  the matters discussed in
this  report are  forward-looking  statements  made  pursuant to the safe harbor
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  matters (both as a general matter and in particular in the
areas where the  Partnership  owns real estate),  competitive  and other factors
affecting  the  Partnership's  operations,  markets,  property  values and other
factors including factors associated with the continued  ownership and operation
of real  estate and the  leasing  or sale of the  Federal  Express  Distribution
Center  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 release the results of
any revisions to these  forward-looking  statements to reflect  future events or
circumstances.

                                     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 have been purchased or sold since 1991.

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, 1998,  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 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. The Galleria  Professional Building is net
leased to a tenant. The Federal Express  Distribution Center was occupied solely
by Federal  Express  Corporation  pursuant to a lease that expired May 31, 1998.
Federal  Express  vacated the property on that date and the  Partnership  is not
currently  receiving rent on this property.  The Partnership is seeking either a
replacement tenant or a buyer for the property.

Rental income  decreased for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the
1997  period  primarily  due to the  vacancy of the  Federal  Express  building,
effective May 31, 1998.  Rental income increased for the year ended December 31,
1997 as  compared  to the  comparable  period  in 1996 as a  result  of a rental
increase at Federal Express, effective July 1997.

Interest  income  increased for the year ended  December 31, 1998 as compared to
the  comparable  period in 1997 and 1996  primarily  due to  increases  in funds
available for investments and yields on those investments.

During  1996  and  1998  the  carrying  value of  Federal  Express  was  reduced
approximately $100,000 and $38,000, respectively, to its estimated fair value.

Other  property  operations  increased  for the year ended  December 31, 1998 as
compared  to the  comparable  period  in  1997  primarily  due to  increases  in
insurance,  real  estate  taxes and  maintenance  as a result of the  vacancy at
Federal Express.

Other general and administrative  expenses increased for the year ended December
31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997  primarily  due to the appraisal
fees  paid  in  1998  for  Galleria  and  Federal  Express.  Other  general  and
administrative  expenses  decreased  for the year  ended  December  31,  1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996 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 Federal  Express lease  expired May 31, 1998.  Federal  Express  vacated the
property on that date and the  Partnership  is not currently  receiving  rent on
this property. The Partnership is seeking either a replacement tenant or a buyer
for the property.  If a replacement tenant is not found,  rental income for 1999
is expected to decrease by approximately  $112,000 from the amount recognized in
1998.  Additionally,  the Partnership  would incur real estate taxes,  insurance
expense  and other  property  maintenance  expenses  for which  Federal  Express
previously paid pursuant to the terms of its lease. The property has been listed
with an auction  company and is scheduled to be presented at an auction in April
1999.

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 1998.

At December 31, 1998, the  Partnership  had  approximately  $235,000 of cash and
cash  equivalents and  approximately  $2.0 million in Treasury Bills included in
securities  available  for  sale.  The  Partnership  has  annually  been  paying
distributions  of $5.00 per $1,000 of original  capital ($1.25  quarterly) since
the fourth quarter of 1990.

In addition to the items discussed above, the Partnership's  long term prospects
will  primarily  be  affected  by future net income at  Galleria  and  finding a
replacement  tenant  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.

The  Partnership's  computer  system is  composed  of seven  personal  computers
running on a Windows NT network.  The  Partnership's  primary in-house  computer
applications consist of general ledger,  accounts payable,  property management,
spreadsheet and database applications.  The personal computers have been checked
and found to be year 2000 compliant.  The vendor of the general ledger, accounts
payable and property  management  packages have indicated that their software is
also year 2000 compliant. The spreadsheet and database applications utilized are
the most recent versions available from Microsoft.  Accordingly, the Partnership
does not expect to expend material  amounts to remediate any year 2000 problems.
Should any of the Partnership's  systems fail, the Partnership believes it would
be able to process its data and monitor its accounts  through  manual systems or
other alternative means. Additionally,  the Partnership does not anticipate that
it will have any  material  expenditure  associated  with year 2000  issues with
respect to real estate owned by the Partnership.

                          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  depreciation  reported  as a separate  component  of  partners  capital.  At
December  31, 1997,  the  Partnership  owned one  treasury  bill that matured in
February 1998 in which cost  approximated  fair value. At December 31, 1998, the
Partnership  owned two treasury  bills that both mature in January 1999 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 is 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.

(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 land. 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 in 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,  1998,  the  Galleria  Professional  Building  was 98% percent
occupied,  with an average leasing rate of approximately $16.32 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.

                                                 Years ended December 31,

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 was  occupied  solely by  Federal  Express
Corporation  pursuant to a lease which  expired May 31,  1998.  Federal  Express
vacated the property on that date and the Partnership is not currently receiving
rent on this property. The Partnership is seeking either a replacement tenant or
a buyer for the property.  If a replacement  tenant is not found,  rental income
for 1999 will  decrease by  approximately  $112,000as  compared to rental income
received in 1998.  The property  has been listed with an auction  company and is
scheduled  to  be  presented  at  auction  in  April  1999.  Additionally,   the
Partnership would incur real estate taxes,  insurance expense and other property
maintenance expenses for which Federal Express was responsible.

During  1996 and 1998,  the  carrying  value of this  property  was  reduced  by
approximately $100,000 and $38,000, respectively, to its estimated fair value.

Leases

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