Item 1 -    Business
      Ziegler Mortgage Securities, Inc. II (the "Company") is a limited
purpose finance company which is owned equally by The Ziegler Companies, Inc.
and Mr. James G. Pouros.  The Company was organized to facilitate the
financing of mortgage loans and does not intend to engage in any other
business activities at this time.
      The Company issues bonds from time to time in series, each of which
will be secured by a separate security package consisting of GNMA
Certificates (the "GNMA Certificates") issued by the Government National
Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and/or Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates (the "FNMA Certificates") issued by the Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA") (collectively the "Mortgage Certificates"). 
The Company does not have, nor is it expected in the future to have, any
significant assets other than the assets pledged as security for specific
series of securities issued by it.
      The full and timely payment of the principal of and interest on the
GNMA Certificates is guaranteed by GNMA.  The GNMA guaranty is backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States.  FNMA guarantees the payment of
principal and interest on the FNMA Certificates issued by it, but the FNMA
guaranty is not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
      B. C. Ziegler and Company, which acts as the underwriter for the bonds,

Item 7 -    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations
Results of Operations - Comparison of Years 1997, 1996 and 1995
      During 1997, the Company issued one series of Mortgage Certificate-
Backed Bonds totaling $3,152,000.  During 1996, the Company issued two series
of Mortgage Certificate-Backed Bonds totaling $6,224,000.  During 1995, the
Company issued four series of Bonds totaling $10,925,000.  Unfavorable
spreads between the interest yields on the mortgage certificates and the
Certificate-Backed Bonds have kept the Company from issuing additional series
in 1997.  Total revenues, consisting mostly of interest income, for 1997,
1996 and 1995 totaled $8,771,002, $10,383,391 and $10,623,778, respectively.
      As a result of lower interest rates, the Company experienced a higher
level of bond redemptions caused by the liquidation or sale of Mortgage
Certificates particularly in 1994 and again in 1996.  Bond redemptions fell
dramatically in 1995 which saw interest rates increase and liquidation and
sale volumes decline.  Total bonds redeemed in 1997, 1996 and 1995 were
$9,241,000, $25,085,000 and $8,035,000, respectively.  These redemptions were
based on Mortgage Certificate sales and liquidations totaling $13,091,000,
$25,062,000 and $8,011,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  These
Mortgage Certificate sales and liquidations and subsequent bond redemptions
result in gains on sale of mortgage certificates and offsetting increases in
amortization of bond issue costs in the Statements of Operations.
      In accordance with a written management agreement, management fees of
the Company were limited to the amount which prevents the Company from
incurring a loss.  It is anticipated that the Company will continue to
operate at close to a breakeven level in future years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
      The Company has no fixed assets nor any commitments outstanding to
purchase or lease any fixed assets.
      Each series of bonds is structured in a manner such that funds received
from the related Mortgage Certificates are sufficient to fund all interest
and principal payments on the bonds, and all other expenses of the Company. 
This can be seen in the Statements of Cash Flows.  For 1997, there was a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $97,000.   Net
income was zero because of the management fee paid to B. C. Ziegler and
Company.  The primary net cash receipt from investing activities totaled
$10,033,885 from an excess of amounts received from Mortgage Certificate
liquidations over the amounts invested in the purchase of new Mortgage
Certificates which serve as collateral for the one Bond series issued during
1997.  The primary net disbursement from financing activities totaled
$6,183,560 which arose from an excess of cash disbursed to redeem outstanding
Bonds from previous series over cash received from the issuance of the one
Bond series during 1997.  
      The Company has 15,000 shares of $9.00 non-cumulative, non-voting
preferred stock outstanding.  No dividends were declared or paid in 1997,
1996 or 1995.  The Company may redeem any or all of the preferred stock at
any time, at a redemption price of $100 per share.
      Effective December 30, 1994, AMSI, another limited purpose finance
company organized to facilitate the financing of mortgage loans, merged with
and into the Company.  Prior to the merger, AMSI was owned 50% by The Ziegler
Companies, Inc. and 50% by Mr. James G. Pouros.  The Company assumed all the
assets and liabilities of AMSI at year end 1994.  These assets and
liabilities, primarily one outstanding bond issue totaling $1,961,000 which
was collateralized by a separate pool of Mortgage Certificates totaling
$1,966,000, at amortized cost, are included in the Company's Balance Sheet as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996.
Item 8 -    Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
      The financial statements of the Company, together with the related
Notes to Financial Statements and Report of Independent Public Accountants,
are contained in the Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, included herein.
Item 9 -    Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
            Disclosure
      There were no reports on Form 8-K reporting a change of accountants or
a disagreement with accountants on any matter of accounting principles or
practices on financial statement disclosure filed during the fiscal year
1997.

semiannual management fee not to exceed .375% of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of bonds issued by the Company on the last day of the month

its preliminary calculation of its net income or loss for such fiscal year. 
In the event such preliminary calculation indicates a loss, the amount of the
management fee for any such fiscal year shall be retroactively reduced to
such amount (not less than zero) as will prevent the Company from suffering
a loss (as determined by application of generally accepted accounting
principles) for such fiscal year.  Any such reduction in the management fee
shall be applied to reduce any balance due, and, to the extent it exceeds any
balance due, shall be promptly refunded to the Company.  The manager earned

                  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
  Ziegler Mortgage Securities, Inc. II:
      We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ZIEGLER MORTGAGE
SECURITIES, INC. II (a Wisconsin corporation) as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1997.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ziegler Mortgage
Securities, Inc. II as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                    ZIEGLER MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC. II
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
(1)   Organization -
      Ziegler Mortgage Securities, Inc. II (the "Company") is a limited
      purpose finance company.  The Company was organized to facilitate the
      financing of mortgage loans.  The common stock of the Company is owned
      equally by The Ziegler Companies, Inc. and James G. Pouros.
(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -
      Mortgage Certificates are carried at par value less unamortized
      purchase discount.  The purchase discount on the Mortgage Certificates
      is amortized over the life of the related outstanding Mortgage
      Certificate- Backed Bonds (the "Bonds") using the bonds outstanding
      method which approximates the effective interest rate method.  The
      market values of the Mortgage Certificates at December 31, 1997 and
      1996 were approximately $94,162,566 and $103,022,000, respectively.
      Deferred bond issuance costs consist of underwriting discounts and
      other expenses of issuance and distribution.  Such costs are amortized
      over the life of the outstanding Bonds using the bonds outstanding
      method which approximates the effective interest rate method.
      Cash equivalents are defined as unrestricted short-term investments
      maturing within three months of the date of purchase.  
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
      and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
      dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
      and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ
      from those estimates.
(3)   Mortgage Certificates -
      The Mortgage Certificates consist of GNMA Certificates (comprising 98%
      of the portfolio as of December 31, 1997) guaranteed by the Government
      National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and/or Guaranteed Mortgage
      Pass-Through Certificates (comprising 2% of the portfolio) issued by
      the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") (collectively the
      "Mortgage Certificates").  The full and timely payment of the principal
      and interest on the GNMA Certificates is guaranteed by GNMA.  The GNMA
      guaranty is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
      government.  FNMA guarantees the payment of principal and interest on
      the FNMA Certificates but the FNMA guaranty is not backed by the full
      faith and credit of the United States government.
      Principal and interest payments received from the Mortgage Certificates
      are controlled by the trustee.  These funds are utilized to meet the
      semiannual interest payments on the Bonds, to reduce the outstanding
      principal balance of the Bonds and to pay certain operating expenses of
      the Company.
(4)   Mortgage Certificate-Backed Bonds Payable -
      Bonds outstanding at December 31, 1997, consist of the following:

      The stated maturities are the dates on which Bonds will be fully paid
      assuming no prepayments are received on the Mortgage Certificates which
      serve as collateral for the Bonds and no Bonds are called.  The stated
      maturities of the Bonds will be shortened by prepayments on the
      Mortgage Certificates and by any Bond calls.
      The Bonds can be redeemed each month without premium under the
      following circumstances:
            The Company must call the Bonds, to the extent funds are
            available, commencing in the twelfth month following the original
            issuance of each series or commencing at such time as the
            aggregate balance in the redemption fund, as defined in the
            prospectus, for each series that reaches $100,000; whichever
            occurs first.
            The Bonds of any series may be redeemed in whole by the Company
            after the third anniversary of the original issuance and,
            commencing with Series 16 bonds, at any time as the outstanding
            principal amount of such series is less than 10% of the aggregate
            principal amount of such series originally issued.
            Bondholders can present their Bonds for redemption each month
            commencing with the second calendar month following the month in
            which each series is originally issued.  The Company will redeem
            such Bonds to the extent funds are available.
      The market values in the secondary bond market of the Bonds outstanding
      as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, approximated $95,328,000 and
      $101,173,000, respectively.
(5)   Related Parties -
      B. C. Ziegler and Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Ziegler
      Companies, Inc. which owns 50% of the Company's outstanding stock, is
      the sole underwriter for the Bonds issued by the Company.  In its
      capacity as underwriter, B. C. Ziegler and Company received a fee for
      its services equal to a percent of the Bonds offered by the Company.
      B. C. Ziegler and Company provided management and administrative
      services to the Company for which, pursuant to a management agreement
      with the Company, they were entitled to receive a management fee not to
      exceed .375% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of bonds
      issued by the Company at the last day of the month preceding each
      semiannual payment date.  Any calculated management fee is
      retroactively reduced to such amount (not less than zero) as will
      prevent the Company from suffering a loss for each fiscal year.
      As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company owed B. C. Ziegler and
      Company $20,023 and $10,945, respectively, for accrued management fees.
(6)   Merger -
      Effective December 30, 1994, the Company merged with American Mortgage
      Securities, Inc. ("AMSI"), another limited purpose finance company
      organized to facilitate the financing of mortgage loans.  Prior to the
      merger, AMSI was owned 50% by The Ziegler Companies, Inc. and 50% by
      Mr. James G. Pouros.  The Company was the surviving corporation and
      assumed all the assets and liabilities of AMSI at year end 1994.
