PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
RAL-YIELD EQUITIES II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "registrant" or
"Partnership") is a Wisconsin Limited Partnership formed on March
5, 1984, under the Wisconsin Revised Uniform Limited Partnership
Act. The Registrant was organized to acquire, for cash (no debt),
real estate projects, including real estate for restaurants, mobile
home communities and other commercial properties. The Partnership
sold $8,301,500 in Limited Partnership Interests (8,301.5 Interests
at $1,000 per unit) from March 30, 1984, through June 30, 1985.
The Partnership has registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a total of 8,301.5 units of Limited Partnership
Interests ("Interests") held by the public. The Partnership
utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire the real property
investments as described under "Properties" (Item 2).
The Registrant originally acquired ten real property investments,
utilizing the net offering proceeds available for investment. The
Registrant has sold three of the original properties.

Partnership:

</TABLE>
The mobile home park was expanded from 155 to 182 spaces in 1987.
Originally there were nine commercial properties owned by the
Partnership. One commercial property was sold in December, 1987
and another commercial property, leased to an affiliate, was sold
in November, 1988. A third commercial property was sold in
February, 1992.
The officers and employees of RAL Asset Management Group, a
Wisconsin general partnership, performed services for the
Registrant through June 1, 1993. RAL Asset Management Group is
controlled by the General Partners of the Partnership. Effective
June 1, 1993 the Partnership made separate property and partnership
management agreements.
The partnership management agreement is with an unrelated
management company. The property management agreement is with a
related entity with the same general partners as the Partnership.
The related property management firm simultaneously subcontracted
with the same unrelated management company handling the partnership
management. The terms and conditions of these agreements are
similar to the above related party agreements, which they replace.
The Registrant, itself, has 27 employees, twenty-four of which are
employees of the restaurant operated by the Partnership.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
As of March 15, 1997, the Registrant owned the following
properties:
Property Name Approximate Size

Rocky Rococo Restaurant A 3,200 square foot building
Wauwatosa, WI on approximately 20,591 square

Wendy's Restaurant A 3,900 square foot building
Eden Prairie, MN on 62,000 square feet of land
Rocky Rococo Restaurant A 3,900 square foot building
Racine, WI on 79,025 square feet of land
*Denotes a material property, having gross revenues greater than
10% of total revenues.
All properties were unencumbered as of December 31, 1996.
Leases on Investment Properties:
The restaurant properties are leased under 20-year leases with two
five-year options to renew the lease at the end of the original
term. Rent, which is payable monthly, generally is equal to the
greater of 6.50% or 6.75% of gross sales depending on the lease, or
a minimum base rental stated in the lease. All of the tenants are
paying rent based on the minimum base rental. The leases are
"triple net" to the Partnership with the lessee being responsible
for occupancy costs such as maintenance, insurance, taxes and
utilities. The Rocky Rococo Restaurant in Wauwatosa is being
operated by the Partnership. Any excess cash flow is contributed
to the Partnership. The vacant restaurant property in West Allis,
WI was leased to a Hardee's Restaurant franchisee who has filed for
bankruptcy. The lessee vacated the premises in December, 1996.
The property has been reclassified in the Partnership financial
statements as property held for sale or re-lease as of December 31,
1996. The mobile home park receives income on a monthly basis from
tenant leases which normally have lease terms of one year or less.
The real estate business is highly competitive and the Partnership
competes with many other real estate investment entities many of
which have greater financial resources. No one firm or group of
firms, in the opinion of the General Partners, is dominant in the
industry. The Partnership, therefore, faces substantial
competition from a variety of sources for attracting and retaining
tenants.
Any commercial, residential or mobile home property acquired by the
Partnership has competition for tenants from similar properties in
the vicinity. To the extent that the Partnership owns commercial
properties, such as restaurants, which have leases entitling the
Partnership to participate in gross receipts of tenants above fixed
minimum amounts, the success of the Partnership will depend in part
on the success of its tenants in competing with similar businesses
in the vicinity.
In the opinion of management of the Partnership, all properties are
adequately covered by insurance.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RAL-YIELD EQUITIES II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Registrant" or
"Partnership") is a Wisconsin Limited Partnership formed on March
30, 1984, under the Wisconsin Revised Uniform Limited Partnership
Act. The Registrant was organized to acquire, for cash (no debt),
real estate projects, including restaurants, mobile home
communities and other commercial properties. The Partnership sold
$8,301,500 in Limited Partnership Interests (8,301.5 Interests at
$1,000 per unit) from March 30, 1984, through June 30, 1985. After
deducting offering costs, the Partnership had approximately
$6,641,200 with which to make investments in income producing
residential and commercial properties, to pay legal fees and other
costs related to such investments and for working capital reserves.
The Partnership utilized the net offering proceeds to purchase the
real property investments as described under
"Properties" (Item 2).
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Properties acquired by the Partnership are generally intended to be
held from seven to ten years. Since the Partnership has purchased
the Properties for cash, liquidity is not reduced by debt service
payments.
During the Properties' holding periods, the investment strategy is
to maintain (on the "triple net lease" restaurant properties) and
improve (on Spacious Acres Mobile Home Park) occupancy rates
through the application of professional property management
(including selective capital improvements). The Partnership also
accumulates working capital reserves for normal repairs,
replacements, working capital, and contingencies.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities and collections on
note receivable was $823,000 in 1996, $865,000 in 1995, and
$724,000 in 1994 primarily from earnings and depreciation, net of
increases in receivables.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $429,000 representing undistributed
cash flow, working capital reserves, and tenant security deposits.
Total liabilities amounted to approximately $186,000.
Distributions paid in 1996 totaled approximately $1,066,000.
The Partnership had a $47,209 note receivable which originated in
1988 from past due rental and real estate tax payments from three
restaurants which had been leased to a affiliate of the General
Partners. In 1988, Robert A. Long, a General Partner and
stockholder of the affiliate personally guaranteed the
note receivable. On December 31, 1993, an agreement was made
between the Partnership and Robert A. Long, which exchanged the
personally guaranteed promissory note payable to the Partnership
for the rights to a promissory note held by Robert A. Long. The
new note, which is due from a related entity, had a principal
balance of $51,325 at December 31, 1994. The note was paid off in
its entirety in June, 1995.
On January, 1991 the Partnership began operating its restaurant
property located at 11319 West Bluemound Road Wauwatosa, Wisconsin
as a Rocky Rococo restaurant. Revenue for the restaurant was
$843,00 in 1996, $796,000 in 1995, and $757,000 in 1994. Expenses
were $623,000 in 1996, $557,000 in 1995, and $529,000 in 1994:
Cash flow provided by the restaurant operations was $220,000 in
1996, $239,000 in 1995, and $228,000 in 1994. The performance of
the restaurant continues to be strong and cash flow should increase
during 1997 as a result of it.
Results of Operations:
<TABLE>
Gross rental revenues varied between 1996, 1995, and 1994 as
follows:
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
1996 $807,000
1995 780,000
1994 742,000
</TABLE>
The increase from 1996 through 1994 is a result of Rocky Rococo
Corporation beginning to pay rent to the Partnership in 1994 and
the annual rent increase at Spacious Acres Mobile Home Park.
Operating expenses, exclusive of restaurant operations, were
$461,000 in 1996, $450,000 in 1995, and $454,000 in 1994.
Net income was $643,000 in 1996 compared to $655,000 in 1995, and
$567,000 in 1994. The increases between 1994 and 1995 are due to
the reduction in vacancies of the commercial properties, the 1994
agreement with Rocky Rococo Corporation which enabled them to begin
paying rent again and continued improved performance of the Rocky
Rococo restaurant being operated by the Partnership. The decrease
in income between 1996 and 1995 is due to the reduction in income
generated by the Rocky Rococo restaurant, the West Allis restaurant
property being vacated in December, 1996 by the lessee and the
improved performance of the Spacious Acres Mobile Home Park.
Inflation:
Due to the comparatively low level of inflation in the
Partnership's last three fiscal years, the effect of inflation on
the Partnership has not been material. Should the rate of
inflation increase substantially over the life of the Partnership,
it is likely to moderately influence ongoing operations, in
particular, the operating expenses of the Partnership. The
commercial leases generally contain clauses permitting pass-through
of certain increased operating costs. Residential leases are
typically of one year or less in duration; this allows the
Partnership to react quickly (through rental increases) to changes
in the level of inflation. These factors should serve to reduce
any impact of rising costs on the Partnership.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
----------------------------
January 13, 1997
To the Partners of
RAL-Yield Equities II
We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheets of RAL-Yield
Equities II (a Wisconsin Limited partnership) as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related Statements of Income, Partners'
Equity and Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership'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
RAL-Yield Equities II as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in
all material respects the information set forth therein.

Notes to Financial Statements
-----------------------------
For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
Note #1 Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting
- ------- --------------------------------------------------------
Policies
--------
A. Nature of Business
------------------
RAL-Yield Equities II(the Partnership) is a Wisconsin limited
partnership formed on March 5, 1984 under the provisions of the
Wisconsin Uniform Limited Partnership Act, to acquire for cash,
operate, lease, develop and eventually sell income-producing real
estate properties. Currently, the Partnership owns seven
properties. It operates both a mobile home park and a restaurant
and leases five commercial properties to various restaurant
franchisors. These properties are located in Iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin. The Partnership will terminate December 31, 2014,
except in the event of prior sale of the Partnership's properties,
action by a majority interest of the Limited Partners or certain
other events.
Effective June 30, 1985, the Partnership completed its
offering of limited partnership interests. A total of 8,301.5
interests were sold for an aggregate contribution of $8,301,500.
In connection with the sale of the limited partnership interests,
the Partnership incurred costs to raise capital of approximately
$768,000, which were charged against partners' equity.
B. Method of Accounting
--------------------
Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses are recognized on the
accrual basis method of accounting.
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 date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
C. Income-Producing Properties
---------------------------
Income-producing properties are carried at the lower of cost less
accumulated depreciation or fair value. Cost includes acquisition
fees paid to RAL Asset Management Group. Management periodically
evaluates a property's fair value based upon occupancy rate and
comparison to similar properties in the same geographic area.
F-7
<TABLE>
For financial statement purposes, depreciation is determined using
the straight-line method. For income tax reporting purposes,
building and land improvements are depreciated using the straight-
line method while equipment is depreciated using accelerated
methods. Depreciable lives for financial statement and income tax
purposes are set forth below:
<CAPTION>
Depreciable Lives
--------------------------

Reporting Reporting
--------- ------------
<S> <C> <C>
Land improvements 30 years 15-31.5 years
Buildings 30 years 15-39 years
Equipment 5-7 years 3-7 years
</TABLE>
D. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
- -----------------------------------
Receivables are reviewed periodically by management to determine
the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Based upon
managements' evaluation, an allowance for doubtful accounts was
recorded for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 in the
amounts of $12,243 and -0-, respectively.
E. Deferred Charges
- --------------------
Costs incurred with respect to organizing the Partnership were
deferred and have been fully amortized. Prepaid management fees
incurred in the initial public offering were amortized to expense
on the straight-line method over the term (ten years) of the
management agreement and have been fully amortized. Commission
fees incurred to lease the properties have been deferred and
amortized over the respective lease term.
<TABLE>
Deferred charges consist of the following at December 31,

Less: Accumulated amortization 8,094 6,594
------ ------
6,906 8,406
====== ======
</TABLE>
F-8
F. Leases
------
The Partnership has determined that all leases relating to the
income-producing properties are properly classified as operating
leases; therefore, rental income is reported when earned and the
cost of each of the properties, excluding cost of land, is
depreciated over its estimated useful life.
G. Income Taxes
------------
No income taxes will be payable or provided by the Partnership
since net income or loss is includable in the respective tax
returns of the partners. In the initial year of ownership of
partnership interests, each individual partner's share of taxable
income or loss, tax credits and distributions is allocated to them
on a pro rata basis that considers the number of days in the year
during which their respective interests were held.
<TABLE>
The Partnership files its income tax return on the accrual
basis of accounting. The following reconciles the income reported
in the accompanying Statements of Income to that reported in the
tax returns.

</TABLE>
H. Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Partnership
considers all short-term investments in interest-bearing bank
accounts and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of
three months or less, to be equivalent to cash. Several demand
deposit accounts are at one financial institution. Such funds on
deposit exceeded the federally insured limit by $323,952 and
$654,619 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
F-9
Note #2 General Provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement
- ------- -------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, net income or
losses of the Partnership from operations and losses on sale of
income-producing properties are allocated 99% to the limited
partners and 1% to the general partners.
In general, profits from the sale of income-producing properties
will be allocated first to limited partners to the extent necessary
to eliminate any deficit in their capital accounts, and then to the
general partners to the extent necessary to eliminate any deficit
in their capital accounts and finally, to each limited partner
until they have received distributions equal to their original
capital contribution less previous distributions. The remainder of
the profits will be allocated 75% to the limited partners and 25%
to the general partners provided that general partners will be
allocated at least 1% of the total profits from the sale of
income-producing properties. The general partners' share of sale
or refinancing proceeds is subject to the limited partners earning
specified noncompounded rates of return on their original
investment. The priority rates of return for limited partners are
dependent upon when they acquired their interest in the
Partnership.
The partnership agreement requires that distributions to limited
partners of Cash Available for Distribution (as defined in the
Prospectus dated March 30, 1984) shall be made in such amounts and
at such times as the general partners may determine, but not less
frequently than semi-annually.

On February 28, 1992, a restaurant property owned by the
Partnership which previously had been leased to an affiliate, was
sold to a non-affiliated third party in exchange for a note
receivable totalling $285,000, secured by the property, and cash
proceeds of $72,000. Of those proceeds, $38,000 was utilized to
pay accrued real estate taxes from prior years. This transaction
resulted in a $65,000 loss which was reflected in a prior year
Statement of Income. The outstanding balance on the note
receivable, which bears interest at 9%, is $231,679 and $244,865 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Note #4 Leases of Income-Producing Properties
- ------- -------------------------------------
The Partnership leases four restaurant properties under various
terms ranging from nine to ten years with various options to renew
the leases at the end of the original term. As of January 1, 1997,
one of the restaurant properties is vacant. Rent, which is payable
monthly, is generally equal to the greater of the percentage of
each restaurant's gross sales or a minimum base rental stated in
the lease. Leases of restaurant properties are "triple net" to the
Partnership, with the lessee being responsible for occupancy costs
such as maintenance, insurance, taxes and utilities. The
Partnership is, however, contingently liable for real estate taxes
that are owed by its tenants. The Partnership will incur occupancy
expenses for the period of time that the vacant property remains
unoccupied. All rents received to date are based on the minimum
rentals, as none of the properties have exceeded the gross sales
levels as defined in the leases.
In January 1992, the Partnership reached an agreement with a former
tenant whereby the tenant terminated their lease arrangement and
paid $47,822 in delinquent rent and property taxes. In addition,
the former tenant paid the Partnership $40,000 to compensate for
decreased rental income to be received from a new tenant obtained
by the Partnership. The $40,000 has been recorded as deferred
rental income and was amortized over a four year period, which
represents the terminated lease period. During 1995 and 1994,
$10,026 and $10,575, respectively, of deferred rent was amortized
and recorded as rental income. As of December 31, 1996, all
deferred rental income had been recognized.
F-11
<TABLE>
The approximate minimum annual rental commitments under four
operating lease agreements in effect at December 31, 1996 are as
follows:

</TABLE>
The Partnership also operates a mobile home park which has 182
rental spaces. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, all
rental spaces were leased. The mobile home park receives income on
a monthly basis from tenant leases which normally have lease terms
of one year or less. Rental revenue for the park was approximately
$483,000, $462,000 and $441,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
Note #5 Property Held for Sale or Re-Lease
- ------- ----------------------------------
At December 31, one of the commercial properties was vacant and is
