PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been some positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on January 6, 1987. For example, if you invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. For comparison, you can look at both the
performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a
common proxy for the U.S. stock market - and the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of the bond market. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the average balanced fund, which reflects the performance of
199 balanced funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services over the past six months. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effects of sales
charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's
say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Advisor Income & Growth Fund - Class A
on January 31, 1987, shortly after the fund started, and paid the maximum
4.75% sales charge. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1995, the value of
your investment would have grown to $22,930 - a 129.30% increase on your
initial investment. For comparison, look at how both the S&P 500 and Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to
$24,423 - a 144.23% increase. If you had put $10,000 in the bond index, it
would have grown to $19,289 - a 92.89% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks or bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

An interview with Robert Haber, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Income and Growth Fund
Q. BOB, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. The fund had a total return of 2.92% for both the six- and 12-month
periods ended April 30, 1995. That compared to total returns of 6.31% and
8.59% for the average balanced fund during the same periods, respectively,
according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. LET'S DISCUSS THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD. WHY DID THE FUND TRAIL ITS PEER
GROUP AVERAGE?
A. Two key reasons. First, the fund emphasized cyclical stocks - those that
tend to rise and fall with the economy - based on my belief that strong
worldwide demand for commodities such as aluminum, chemicals and paper
would translate into excellent earnings growth for well-run cyclical
companies. As it turned out, I was correct on most of my earnings estimates
for these companies; earnings were strong. However, many investors worried
that rising interest rates would slow the economy, which, in turn, might
slow the profits of cyclical companies. That led to a broad market shift in
late 1994 and early 1995 away from cyclicals toward the stocks of companies
that might have more predictable earnings growth in the face of higher
rates. These included consumer nondurables such as beverages, food and
tobacco, and health care and pharmaceutical stocks. Because the fund was
underweighted in these sectors relative to many of its peers, it lagged
behind.
Q. AND THE SECOND REASON?
A. The second reason had to do with asset allocation. Six months ago I felt
that bonds generally offered better risk/reward prospects than stocks.
Stock valuations - prices relative to other measures such as earnings
- -still were historically high, while bonds appeared to be oversold after
their worst period of performance in decades. For those reasons, I kept the
portfolio overweighted in bonds and underweighted in stocks relative to
many of its peers. As the six months progressed, bonds did rally in the
U.S. and in many overseas countries. However, U.S. stocks were the big
winners. Continued strong earnings and greater confidence that the economy
could indeed slow without falling into recession propelled the market to
record highs. However, because of its asset allocation, the fund didn't
participate in that rally as fully as some of its peers.
Q. LET'S START WITH BONDS. HAVE YOU MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE FIXED-INCOME
PORTION OF THE PORTFOLIO?
A. I have. I've reduced the fund's overall stake in foreign investments
from 36.8% six months ago to 17.9% on April 30, 1995. Much of that
reduction occurred when I shifted some overseas fixed-income investments to
the United States. First, the fund's less than 10% stake in Latin American
bonds - in Argentina and Mexico - suffered when Mexico suddenly devalued
the peso. Although these bonds subsequently rallied a few months later, I
did reduce the fund's Latin American position mainly because economic and
political conditions in these countries were no longer as attractive as
they had been. In addition, I reduced the fund's investment in French
bonds, which made up roughly 6% of the fund six months ago. Those bonds had
recovered nicely through late '94 and early '95. Part of those solid
returns were due to the weak U.S. dollar, which boosted the returns of most
of the fund's overseas investments when translated back into dollars.
However, economies were starting to heat up in Europe, which made prospects
for inflation worrisome. In addition, the U.S. economy was showing signs of
slowing, and inflation here appeared to be under control. If the U.S.
economy appears to strengthen again and higher inflation begins to appear
more likely, I might revisit this strategy.
Q. DID YOU REDUCE OVERSEAS HOLDINGS IN STOCKS AS WELL?
A. I did reduce the fund's European stock investments at the beginning of
1995, and increased its stake in U.S. stocks. Again, my concern was that
strengthening economies might lead to higher interest rates. In addition,
if the dollar - which recently has been historically weak - strengthens
against European currencies, any positive returns on foreign investments
would be negated somewhat. As it turned out, U.S. stocks have performed far
better than European stocks thus far in 1995.
Q. GOING BACK TO THE FUND'S EMPHASIS ON CYCLICAL STOCKS, HAVE YOU SHIFTED
YOUR STRATEGY AT ALL?
A. I've made small shifts here and there, but my overall strategy with
regard to cyclicals hasn't changed. I still believe that many world
economies - including those in Europe and Japan - are showing signs of
strengthening. In addition, many cyclical companies effectively cut costs
when times were lean a few years back. Now that the supply/demand
environment has improved for most cyclical industries, earnings growth has
been strong, which I expect will continue. If it does, I believe that the
market, at some point, will have to reward the strong earnings growth of
cyclical companies with higher stock prices. A few of the fund's largest
cyclical stock investments include Union Camp and Temple-Inland, which are
paper manufacturers, and Olin, a chemical company.
Q. LOOKING BEYOND THESE BASIC INDUSTRIES STOCKS, THE FUND'S NEXT LARGEST
SECTORS ARE ENERGY AND TECHNOLOGY. WHERE HAVE YOU FOUND OPPORTUNITIES IN
THESE GROUPS?
A. These two groups have produced some of the fund's best performing stock
investments over the past six months. On the technology side, computer
hardware manufacturers IBM and Tandem Computers benefited from increasing
demand for their products, which helped both companies produce strong
earnings growth. As for energy stocks, rising oil prices and an effective
multi-year restructuring effort have resulted in strong earnings for
British Petroleum. And I believe that increasing worldwide demand for oil
and a potentially limited supply should bode well for the company's
business prospects going forward.
Q. BOB, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. Stock valuations are certainly higher than they were six months ago,
which is worrisome. However, corporate earnings continue to be very strong.
Assuming interest rates remain relatively stable and economic growth
remains steady, albeit slower, stocks could do well. In that type of
environment, I believe positive market sentiment would have to broaden to
include cyclical stocks. The big risk for stocks is if interest rates have
slowed the economy enough to trigger a recession. As for bonds, the key is
inflation. Bond valuations remain quite attractive, so if the economy can
indeed grow without triggering higher inflation, bonds could continue to do
well. However, if the economy should get a second wind and strengthen
through the rest of the year, bonds could be at risk.

BOB HABER ON USING STANDARD &
POOR'S 500 FUTURES:
"On April 30, 1995, the fund
had a stake equivalent to
roughly 8.2% of its
investments in S&P 500 stock
index futures. I make limited
use of futures on occasion. For
example, early in 1995 I sold
some of the fund's stock
investments in Europe. While I
was deciding how best to
re-allocate that cash, I put the
money into S&P 500 futures.
These instruments track the
performance of the S&P 500
index, so they allow the fund
to participate in broad market
movements until I invest that
cash in individual stocks. As it
turned out, the performance
of the S&P 500 thus far in
1995 has been excellent
relative to that of most
stocks."
(solid bullet) On April 30, 1995 the
fund had 30.7% of its
investments in stocks and
equity futures, 19.7% in
bonds, 15.5% in convertible
securities and 34.1% in
short-term and other
investments. Six months ago,
the fund had 27.3% in stocks
and equity futures, 34.1% in
bonds, 19.4% in convertible
securities and 19.2% in
short-term and other
investments.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Income & Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange), are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good
faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision
of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days
of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION.
The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a
foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates
of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income
receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of
foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown
gains/losses on certain securities, futures and options transactions,
foreign currency transactions, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable
dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income
tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain loss. Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or
gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
For the period ended October 31, 1994, the fund's distributions exceeded
the aggregate amount of taxable income and net realized gains resulting in
a return of capital. This was due to certain foreign currency losses which
decreased taxable income available for distribution after certain
distributions had been made.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate
transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency
exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to
foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's
investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell
can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in
excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the fund's Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the fund
has committed to buy or sell is shown in the schedule of investments under
the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts." This amount represents
the aggregate exposure to each currency the fund has

CONTINUED
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
acquired or hedged through currency contracts at period end. Losses may
arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the
counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date. Contracts that have been offset with different
counterparties are reflected as both a contract to buy and a contract to
sell in the schedule of investments under the caption "Forward Foreign
Currency Contracts."
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
SHORT SALES AGAINST THE BOX. The fund may hedge its investments against
changes in value by engaging in short sales against the box. In a short
sale against the box, the fund sells a borrowed security, while at the same
time either owning an identical security or having the right to obtain such
a security. By selling short against the box the equity underlying one of
its convertible holdings, the fund would seek to offset the effect that a
decline in the underlying equity might have on the value of the convertible
security. While the short sale is outstanding, the fund will not dispose of
the security hedged by the short sale.
The fund is required to establish a margin account with the broker lending
the security sold short. While the short sale is outstanding, the broker
retains the proceeds of the short sale and the fund instructs the custodian
to maintain in a separate account securities having a value at least equal
to the amount of the securities sold short.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS.
The fund may use futures and options contracts to manage its exposure to
the stock and bond markets and to fluctuations in interest rates and
currency values. Buying futures, writing puts, and buying calls tend to
increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures,
buying puts, and writing

FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS - CONTINUED
calls tend to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, or
hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts and written options
involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures
variation margin or the option value reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value is shown in the
schedule of investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period
end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or
if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale,
the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using
dealer-supplied valuations.
INDEXED SECURITIES. The fund may invest in indexed securities whose values
are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies,
interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. The
fund uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to
different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might
be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Indexed
securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any
loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in privately placed
restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and
expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the
end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted
to $653,000 or 0.0% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $2,726,707,000 and $3,065,997,000, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $788,870,000 and
$732,840,000, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $1,074,153,000 and $940,207,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a

MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average
net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2700% to .5200% for the
period. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates
in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The annual
individual fund fee rate is .20%. For the period, the management fee was
equivalent to an annualized rate of .52% of average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN.
Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan), and in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund pays Fidelity Distributors
Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution and service fee that
is based on an annual rate of .65% of its average net assets. For the
period, the fund paid FDC $10,511,000 of which $7,976,000 was paid to
securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for selling
shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. No payments were made to third parties under
the Plan during the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling shares of the fund. The
sales charge rates ranged from 2.00% to 4.75% based on purchase amounts of
less than $1,000,000. Purchase amounts of $1,000,000 or more are not
charged a sales load. For the period, FDC received $6,046,000 of which
$5,030,000 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB) is the
transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for the fund.
SSB has an arrangement for certain transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing to be performed by Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR. During the period November
1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, the fund paid fees based on the type, size,
number of accounts and the number of transactions made by shareholders.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised
transfer agent contract pursuant to which the fund pays account fees and
asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, FSC
maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of
average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $891,000 for the period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$185,000 under this arrangement.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been some positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on September 16, 1987. For example, if you invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the
performance of the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government-Corporate Bond Index
- - a broad measure of the performance of short-term government and corporate
bonds. To measure how the fund stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the average short investment grade bond fund, which reflects
the performance of 141 funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services over the past six months. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of
sales charges. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index
(CPI) helps show how your fund did compared to inflation. (The CPI returns
begin on the month end closest to the fund's start date.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund - Class A on September 30, 1987, shortly
after the fund started, and paid the maximum 1.50% sales charge. As the
chart shows, by April 30, 1995, the value of your investment would have
grown to $16,760 - a 67.60% increase on your initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government-Corporate
Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $17,616 - a 76.16% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return, and yield of
a fund that invests in bonds
will vary. That means if you
sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can ride
out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond
fund's total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid
by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested and exclude the effects of sales charges.

30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On February 13, 1995, Charles Morrison (right photo)
became portfolio manager of Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund. The
following is an interview with Donald Taylor - who managed the fund during
most of the period covered by this report - with some comments from Charlie
Morrison on changes in the fund, outlook and strategy:
Q. DON, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
D.T. For the six and 12 months ended April 30, 1995, the fund had total
returns of 1.37% and 2.97%, respectively. During the same periods, the
average short-term investment grade bond fund returned 3.66% and 4.78%,
respectively, according to Lipper Analytical Services, and the Lehman
Brothers 1-3 Year Government-Corporate Bond Index returned 4.06% and 5.78%,
respectively.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTED FOR THE FUND'S
SUB-PAR PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund's exposure to emerging market debt, especially in Mexico. I was
using diversification as a strategy to try to reduce risk and enhance
returns, because different market sectors or regions tend not to move in
tandem. Given low expectations for the U.S. bond market in early 1994, I
sought opportunities abroad in both developed and emerging markets.
Unfortunately, European bond markets declined, in part because
stronger-than-expected growth fueled inflation fears. In addition, many
emerging markets were hurt by rising rates in the U.S. The situation for
the fund worsened in December, when Mexico unexpectedly devalued the peso
in an attempt to shore up the dwindling foreign currency reserves of its
central bank.
Q. HOW DID THAT AFFECT THE FUND?
A. The fund had less than 10% of its assets in Mexico at the time of the
devaluation. However, that was enough to cause the fund's net asset value
to drop due to peso devaluation as well as the declining market of
dollar-denominated Mexican bonds.
Q. WHY WAS THE FUND INVESTED IN MEXICO?
A. Last year, our research indicated that the country's long-term prospects
were solid. More importantly, the Mexican government had made a commitment
to maintaining a stable peso. With that backdrop, it made sense to explore
opportunities in Mexico, in order to diversify the fund's investments.
Q. DID YOU MAINTAIN THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN MEXICO AFTER THE DEVALUATION?
A. No. I sought to liquidate the fund's Mexican holdings as quickly as
possible. Unfortunately, I had to do that into the teeth of a very
difficult market. Nevertheless, the fund held no peso-denominated debt as
of February 1, 1995, and held less than 1% in dollar-denominated Mexican
debt at the end of the period.
Q. TURNING TO YOU, CHARLIE, WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE TO THE FUND?
C.M. I've been working to reduce the volatility of the fund. I've done this
in two ways. First, since I believe the current environment for foreign
bonds isn't attractive, I've dropped the fund's foreign position to under
1% of its investments. Second, I've reduced the fund's holdings in
long-duration corporate positions. Duration is a measure of the average
time required to receive all cash flows - principal and interest - from a
bond. It also is a good indicator of how sensitive a bond is to movements
in interest rates. Going forward, my goal will be to generate returns that
are better than the short-term market as a whole, while limiting downside
volatility. As a result, I've moved the fund's duration so that it is in
line with the duration of the fund's benchmark index, the Lehman Brothers
1-3 Year Government-Corporate Bond Index.
Q. WHERE HAVE YOU FOUND OPPORTUNITIES?
A. Given the fact that short-term bonds across most sectors of the market
are relatively rich - or priced too high in light of their historical
levels - I began to position the fund somewhat defensively over the recent
period. I have focused on upgrading the credit quality of the fund, in
addition to shortening the average maturity of its corporate bond
investments. However, I'm continuing to concentrate a large portion of the
fund's investments in corporate bonds, primarily in higher-quality finance
issues and asset-backed securities - bonds issued by creditors that are
backed by loans or credit payments. I believe these investments continue to
be supported by positive fundamentals - or factors relating to the fiscal
health of an issuer - and technicals - or market environment variables,
such as supply and demand.
Q. YOU'VE ALSO INVESTED IN SOME COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.
WHAT'S THEIR APPEAL?
A. The portfolio's investments in commercial mortgages consist primarily of
short-duration high-quality - AA- or AAA-rated - well-structured securities
that offer incremental yield above most other alternatives in the short end
of the market. I look at them as an alternative to investing in corporate
bonds. Unlike investments such as Ginnie Mae mortgage pass-throughs -
securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association that are
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government - these issues
depend on the underlying economic fundamentals of the businesses that are
responsible for supporting and retiring the mortgages on their properties.
An important benefit of commercial mortgage-backed securities versus
corporate bonds is that commercial mortgage-backed securities are secured
obligations - they are backed by real estate. The commercial
mortgage-backed market trades cheaply because it is a relatively new and
under-followed market. There are few firms that have committed the same
resources as Fidelity to track this market, which offers me a tremendous
opportunity to buy attractive securities.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK GOING FORWARD?
A. I have positioned the fund relatively defensively, given my view that
many sectors of the market already reflect a great deal of positive news.
However, as I've said, there are opportunities to add value to the fund
through sector weighting and security selection. I'll continue to focus on
commercial mortgage-backed, asset-backed and very short-term corporate
securities. In addition, I'm maintaining a neutral duration - that is,
matching the fund's benchmark index - given uncertainty over the direction
of interest rates, a result of conflicting economic statistics and unclear
Federal Reserve Board interest rate policy.

FUND FACTS
GOAL: high current income
with preservation of capital by
investing primarily in a broad
range of investment-grade
fixed-income securities, such
as corporate and government
bonds - both foreign and
domestic - with a
dollar-weighted average of
three years or less.
START DATE: September 16,

more than $624 million
MANAGER: Donald Taylor,
1989 - February 1995;

CHARLIE MORRISON ON HIS
INVESTMENT APPROACH:
"My approach will center
around trying to provide
consistency and stability of
performance. I plan to focus
less on trying to predict the
direction of interest rates, and
more on looking for areas
where I think I can truly add
value. The way I'll do this is
fourfold: first, there is security
selection, using corporate
credit and mortgage research
to uncover attractive
investment opportunities.
Second, I'll focus on market
sector rotation, deciding when
to focus more of the fund's
investments in different
sectors, such as corporates
or mortgage-backed
securities. Yield curve
positioning is third. This
strategy involves focusing the
fund's investments on
particular parts of the maturity
spectrum. Finally, due to
short-term volatility in the
markets, from time to time
opportunities arise to buy or
sell securities that are
temporarily under-priced or
over-priced. I'll seek to take
advantage of this through
opportunistic trading."

DURATION SHOWS HOW MUCH A BOND'S PRICE FLUCTUATES WITH CHANGES IN
COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH A
FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE ABOUT 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER FACTORS
ALSO CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE. ACCORDINGLY,
A BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THIS EXAMPLE.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1995 (Unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Short-Fixed Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued either at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value. Securities (including restricted securities) for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures
under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown
gains/losses on certain securities, foreign currency transactions, market
discount, and losses deferred due to wash sales.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Distributions in excess of net investment
income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on
investments and foreign currency transactions may include temporary book
and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate
transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency
exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to
foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's
investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell
can offset a previous contract.These contracts involve market risk in
excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the fund's Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the fund
has committed to buy or sell is shown in the schedule of investments under
the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts." This amount represents
the aggregate exposure to each currency the fund has acquired or hedged
through currency contracts at period end. Losses may arise from changes in
the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform
under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date. Contracts that have been offset with different
counterparties are reflected as both a contract to buy and a contract to
sell in the schedule of investments under the caption "Forward Foreign
Currency Contracts."
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that
mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized
by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
INDEXED SECURITIES. The fund may invest in indexed securities whose values
are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies,
interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. The
fund uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to
different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might
be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Indexed
securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any
loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in privately placed
restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and
expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the
end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted
to $1,060,692 or 0.2% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $551,357,183 and $403,461,275, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $427,408,776 and
$229,327,058, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .1200% to .3700% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The
annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annualized rate of .46% of average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the
fund pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a
distribution and service fee that is based on an annual rate of .15% of its
average net assets. For the period, the fund paid FDC $513,954 of which
$495,000 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder
support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. No payments were made to third parties under
the Plan during the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling shares of the fund. The
sales charge rate is 1.5% based on purchase amounts of less than
$1,000,000. Purchase amounts of $1,000,000 or more are not charged a sales
load. For the period, FDC received $419,914 of which $332,285 was paid to
securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB) is the
transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for the fund.
SSB has an arrangement for certain transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing to be performed by Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR. During the period November
1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, the fund paid fees based on the type, size,
number of accounts and the number of transactions made by shareholders.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised
transfer agent contract pursuant to which the fund pays account fees and
asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been some positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

Index

Average High Current Yield Fund 5.73% 5.54% 84.57% n/a

Consumer Price Index 1.61% 3.05% 17.84% 37.47%

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on January 5, 1987. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class A's returns to those of
the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index - a broad gauge of the high yield
bond market. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the average high current yield fund, which
reflects the performance of over 110 high current yield funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any,
and exclude the effects of sales charges. Comparing Class A's performance
to the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how the class did compared to
inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the month end closest to the fund's
start date.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor High Yield Fund - Class A on January 31, 1987, shortly after the
fund started, and paid the maximum 4.75% sales charge. As the chart shows,
by April 30, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to $26,529
- - a 165.29% increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index did over the same period.
With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$23,001 -
a 130.01% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return, and yield
of a fund that invests in
bonds will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can ride
out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a class'
total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the
class. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by the
class to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
class' share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested and exclude the effects of sales charges.

Annualized dividend rate 7.61% 8.57% 7.43%

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set period and
do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number,
based on an average net asset value of $11.36 over the past month, $11.06
over the past six months and $11.18 over the past year, you can compare the
Class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also
helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The
offering share price used in the calculation of the yield includes the
effect of Class A's maximum 4.75% sales charge.
ADVISOR HIGH YIELD FUND - CLASS B
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at
the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change,
or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's
income to measure performance.
On June 30, 1994, the fund began offering Class B shares. All performance
information for Class B prior to June 30, 1994 reflects the performance of
Class A and therefore does not reflect different Class B 12b-1 fee and
transfer agent fee arrangements (see Notes to the Financial Statements),
which if included, would have lowered Class B's performance. Also, if
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain Class A expenses, the past 5 years and
life of fund total return figures would have been lower. Class B's
contingent deferred sales charges included in the past 6 months, past 1
year, past 5 years and life of fund total return figures are 4%, 4%, 1% and
0%, respectively.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on January 5, 1987. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class B's returns to those of
the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index - a broad gauge of the high yield
bond market. To measure how Class B's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the average high current yield fund, which
reflects the performance of over 110 high current yield funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any,
and exclude the effects of sales charges. Comparing Class B's performance
to the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how the class did compared to
inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the month end closest to the fund's
start date.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor High Yield Fund - Class B on January 31, 1987, shortly after the
fund started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1995, the value of your
investment would have grown to $27,587 - a 175.87% increase on your initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master
Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $23,001 - a 130.01% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return, and yield
of a fund that invests in
bonds will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can ride
out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set period and
do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number,
based on an average net asset value of $11.34 over the past month, $11.06
over the past six months, and $11.14 over the life of Class, you can
compare the Class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized
YIELD is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the
bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you
the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the
period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an
equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield
excludes the effect of Class B's contingent deferred sales charge.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

An interview with Margaret Eagle, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
High Yield Fund
Q. MARGARET, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. For the six months ended April 30, 1995, the fund's Class A shares and
Class B shares had total returns of 6.75% and 6.25%, respectively. For the
year ended April 30, 1995, the fund's Class A and Class B shares returned
8.75% and 7.71%, respectively. During the same periods, the average
high-yield fund returned 5.73% and 5.54%, respectively, as tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE HIGH YIELD BOND
MARKET?
A. The most recent six-month period got off to a rocky start in November.
Investors worried about higher interest rates and the possibility that
there would be deterioration of the credit quality for some high yield
issues. The Federal Reserve Board raised interest rates seven times during
1994, triggering heavy selling of all bonds - including the high-yield
variety - throughout most of last year. In addition, there were a couple of
high-profile bankruptcies in the supermarket sector, which traditionally
had been viewed as a more stable industry and a safe haven for investors.
Fears of further bankruptcies in the supermarket and other industries
caused credit spreads - the difference in yields among securities with
various credit qualities - to widen. In effect, investors were saying that
they required a lot more compensation for taking on additional credit risk.
Because of these problems, demand for high-yield bonds was very poor by the
end of 1994.
Q. WHAT CHANGED IN 1995?
A. The economy showed some signs of slowing, and investors' fears that the
Federal Reserve would raise interest rates higher in 1995 began to wane.
From January through the end of April, the bond market rallied. Meanwhile,
corporate earnings soared, and confidence in credit quality was generally
restored. Finally, supply and demand factors turned more positive. There
was very little new issuance as companies turned to banks and the equity
market to meet their financing needs. A combination of investors coming
back to the bond market in general, and to the high-yield sector in
particular, strengthened demand for high-yield bonds.
Q. WHICH ISSUES IN PARTICULAR HELPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. After experiencing their share of trouble in 1994, Nextel and Echo Star
proved to be winners so far in 1995 and helped the fund's performance. Last
fall, a proposed partnership deal between Nextel and MCI failed to
materialize and the bonds traded down. However, a recent government auction
of spectrum - used to transmit mobile radio wireless communications -
confirmed the value of the spectrum Nextel already owned. Also, Craig
McCaw, a well-known communications investor with a successful track record,
made a significant investment in the company. The direct broadcaster Echo
Star suffered when the Chinese company it planned to use to launch its
satellite experienced difficulty launching a similar model. But the company
recently announced an equity initial public offering which will give it the
necessary capital to provide for a successful launch.
Q. DID VIACOM, ONE OF THE FUND'S TOP FIVE HOLDINGS, ALSO IMPROVE OVER THE
PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Yes, Viacom did fairly well. The Viacom issue I own was created out of
the transaction resulting from its purchase of Paramount. These securities
continued to rise as interest rates stabilized, and as it became clearer to
the market that Viacom was successfully consolidating its operations.
Viacom has been selling assets to finance debt reduction, which has
improved the outlook for the company.
Q. WHAT'S THE ATTRACTION TO GPA GROUP - THE FUND'S LARGEST HOLDING AT 6.7%
OF INVESTMENTS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD?
A. Ireland-based GPA is one of the world's largest aircraft leasing
companies and has been a strong performer for the fund. I like it, in part,
because leasing rates firmed as the economy strengthened. That helped
improve the company's credit quality. What's more, last year GPA completed
an equipment leasing financing which provided it with enough cash to meet
all its debt requirements until September 1996. Another factor which makes
it attractive is that General Electric bought a large portion of GPA's
aircraft, took over management of GPA's leasing business and has an option
to buy 67% of the company. Even if GE doesn't pick up the option, GPA is
making diligent efforts to refinance its capital structure.
Q. EVEN THOUGH THE FUND ENJOYED RELATIVELY STRONG PERFORMANCE, THERE MUST
HAVE BEEN SOME DISAPPOINTMENTS . . .
A. Sure, some zero coupon bonds detracted from performance. These bonds
make no periodic interest payments. Rather, they are sold at a discount to
their face value and the buyer receives the rate of return by gradual
appreciation of the security. When the value of these bonds fell as
interest rates were rising, zeros had no income to cushion their fall.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. I've used some of the market's recent strength as an opportunity to
reposition the fund more conservatively, a strategy I'll most likely
continue. The bond market is not commanding a huge premium for being in
riskier securities, so now is an opportune time to replace higher-risk
securities with less risky issues. Because yield spreads are relatively
tight, I don't have to give up much in the way of additional income to
improve the risk profile of the fund. Going forward, I'll probably use any
new money coming into the fund to buy current coupon bonds rather than zero
coupon bonds. That way, if interest rates do rise, I'll hopefully have more
income to cushion the decline.

FUND FACTS

of income and the potential
for capital gains by investing
primarily in high-yield bonds
START DATE: January 5, 1987

MARGARET EAGLE ON SUPPLY AND
DEMAND IN THE HIGH YIELD
MARKET:
"By the end of the period,
issuance of high-yield bonds
was about $4 billion. That is
significantly below the level
we saw in 1993 and 1994,
when new issuance was
roughly $46 billion and $22
billion, respectively. Supply has
dwindled for two reasons.
First, companies are turning to
banks and the equity market,
rather than the bond market, to
meet their financing needs.
Second, as interest rates rose,
fewer companies called away,
or redeemed early, their debt
issues.
"At the same time, demand
has strengthened. Because of
their attractive yields,
high-yield bonds are catching
the attention of many
investors. And as fears about
the economy overheating
subsided, investors came
back into the bond market. If
merger and acquisition
activity increases, we could
see the supply of high yield
bonds increase. A favorable
supply and demand balance
could help the high yield bond
market going forward."

14. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor
Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A and Class B shares, each of which has equal rights
as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to its distribution plan. The fund commenced sale of Class B
shares on June 30, 1994. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital
gains and losses, and the common expenses of the fund are allocated on a
prorata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class
to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares differs in its
respective distribution, transfer agent, registration, and certain other
class-specific fees and expenses.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which quotations are readily available
are valued by a pricing service at their market values as determined by
their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales prices if the
principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally
traded. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION.
The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a
foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates
of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income
receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its
taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes
information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax
Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned and dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual
status and reduce related interest income by ceasing current accruals and
writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of
interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures,
under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the fund. A debt
obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes
interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends are declared separately for each class,
while capital gain distributions are declared at the fund level and
allocated to each class on a prorata basis based on the number of shares
held by each class on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown
gains/losses on certain securities, foreign currency transactions, market
discount, partnerships, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due
to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain loss. Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may
include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end
is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
15. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate
transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency
exposure. Contracts
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while
contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's investments against currency
fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous
contract. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having
management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending
program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the
fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds.
LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT
INSTRUMENTS. The fund is permitted to invest in loans and loan
participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may
include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply
additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a
risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. At
the end of the period, these investments amounted to $34,686,653 or 3.5% of
net assets.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in privately placed
restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and
expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the
end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted
to $15,798,192 or 1.6% of net assets.
16. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $591,145,035 and $346,294,596, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $17,837,342 and
$4,243,152, respectively.
17. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .1200% to .3700% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .45%. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .61%
of average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with respect to
the fund's Class A shares ("Class A Plan") and Class B shares ("Class B
Plan"), pursuant to which the fund pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation
(FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution and service fee. This fee is
based on annual rates of .25% and 1.00% (of which .75% represents a
distribution fee and .25% represents a shareholder service fee) of the
average net assets of the Class A and Class B shares, respectively. For the
period, the fund paid FDC $932,437 and $177,236 under the Class A Plan and
Class B Plan, respectively, of which $898,652 and $44,409 were paid to
securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the
distribution of Class A and Class B shares, and providing shareholder
support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plans also authorize payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. No payments were made under the Plans during
the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for
selling Class A shares of the fund. For the period, FDC received sales
charges of $3,185,001 on sales of Class A shares of the fund, of which
$2,714,979 was paid to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions. FDC also receives the proceeds of a contingent deferred sales
charge levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within five years of
purchase. The charge is based on declining rates which range from 4% to 1%
of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any
reinvested dividends and capital gains. For the period, FDC received
contingent deferred sales charges of $13,581 on Class B share redemptions
from the fund. When Class B shares are sold, FDC pays commissions from its
own resources to dealers through which the sales aremade.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) is
the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A shares, while Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR (collectively, with State Street,
referred to as the Transfer Agents) acts in that capacity for the fund's
Class B shares. During the period May 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, the
Transfer Agents received fees based on the type, size, number of accounts
and the number of transactions made by shareholders of the respective
classes of the fund. Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees
approved a revised transfer agent contract pursuant to which the Transfer
Agents receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the
account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective
classes of the fund. With respect to the Class A shares, State Street has
delegated certain transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder services to
FIIOC for which FIIOC receives its allocable share of all such fees. FIIOC
pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $3,958 for the period.
18. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $5,004,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 6.44%. Interest expense includes $2,684 paid under the
bank borrowing program.
19. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$9,846 under this arrangement.
20. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for both classes were as follows:

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on November 18, 1987. For example, if you invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the
performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a
common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure how the fund's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the average
growth fund, which reflects the performance of over 564 growth funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six
months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund - Class A on November 18, 1987, when the
fund started, and paid the maximum 4.75% sales charge. As the chart shows,
by April 30, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to $37,878
- - a 278.78% increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the
same $10,000 investment would have grown to $26,883 - a 168.83% increase.

UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no
guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In turn,
the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

An interview with George A.
Vanderheiden, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities
Fund
Q. GEORGE, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. The fund was up 6.89% and 10.89% for the six- and 12-month periods ended
April 30, 1995. During the same time periods, the average growth fund's
total return was 6.53% and 10.75%, respectively, according to Lipper
Analytical Services.
Q. IN WHAT TYPE OF INVESTING ENVIRONMENT DID YOU FIND YOURSELF?
A. It's been an environment of declining market breadth. Market breadth
measures the number of stocks advancing versus those falling. Declining
market breadth occurs when more stocks are declining than advancing.
Although market breadth declined over the past six months, it wasn't
obvious to the casual observer because the major market averages such as
the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 rose. Rising interest rates and recent
financial crises caused portfolio managers to take shelter in larger,
liquid, high-quality stocks and sell everything else. I call it an iceberg
market. The portion that's clearly visible bears little resemblance to the
remainder. Advisor Growth Opportunities consists of over 200 stocks. When
the market is being led by a small number of stocks while the majority are
not keeping up, the fund typically underperforms. Fortunately, periods of
declining market breadth aren't prolonged affairs and I expect breadth to
improve this year.
Q. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FUND'S GROWTH POSITIONS?
A. In the technology sector the fund has important positions in personal
computer stocks including Compaq, Intel and Microsoft. Compaq is among the
lowest cost manufacturers of personal computers, and has rapidly grown
market share over the past few years. It has a debt-free balance sheet and
is selling at a modest price-earnings ratio of 11 times trailing earnings
versus the S&P 500 ratio of 17 times earnings. While Compaq assembles the
PC, Intel makes the brains of the machine - the microprocessor. Intel is
now distributing its fifth generation of microprocessors, the Pentium, and
it should provide a boost to earnings. As Intel is the dominant supplier of
microprocessors, Microsoft is the dominant supplier of PC software. Other
important growth positions include Fannie Mae, which I've talked about in
prior reports; Vodafone, the largest cellular phone company outside North
America; Motorola, the largest supplier of cellular equipment; and
Wal-Mart.
Q. WHAT OTHER OPPORTUNITIES HAVE
YOU FOUND?
A. I lately have re-acquired a large position in two auto stocks, GM and
Chrysler. The stocks have declined by 40% over the past year and are
already anticipating a decline in auto sales. If this economic cycle does
in fact turn into an extended cycle like I think it will, auto sales will
plateau at a high level and the autos should be able to generate
substantial excess cash flow over the next two years. They may use this
cash to increase dividends and repurchase stock.
Q. WHY HAVE YOU INCREASED YOUR POSITION IN TREASURY AND AGENCY OBLIGATIONS?
A. I put more than 9% of the fund's assets into Treasuries and zero coupon
bonds as yields got close to 8% and kept buying as they went up through 8%.
I believe the economy is clearly on the cusp of a slowdown with housing
turning down, auto sales soft, and retail sales sputtering. Falling
interest rates usually accompany a slowing economy and falling interest
rates lead to higher bond prices.
Q. WAS THE FUND HURT BY THE SHARP CORRECTION IN LATIN AMERICAN STOCKS?
A. Fortunately, the fund did not own any Latin American securities when the
Mexican crisis unfolded, as I felt the valuation levels of those markets
were too high. After the stocks suffered declines of 50%-60%, I became
interested and initiated positions in Telefonos de Mexico, Telefonica de
Argentina, Telecom Argentina and Telebras, which are the dominant telephone
companies of Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. If the stock prices remain low,
I may continue to add to them.
Q. SOME MARKET COMMENTATORS SAY THAT THE MARKET IS DANGEROUSLY HIGH,
SELLING AT 37 TIMES DIVIDENDS. THE ONLY OTHER TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN
1973 AND 1987, AND WAS FOLLOWED BY LARGE DECLINES. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
THIS AND WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I admit dividend yields are low and this is troublesome - troublesome if
you only look at dividend yields. The truth of the matter is that dividends
are paid out of earnings and earnings are very healthy. Over the past 70
years, U.S. companies have paid out 40%-60% of their earnings in dividends,
averaging about 55% in recent years. The current dividend payout rate is
about 41% - at the bottom of the range. The other two periods when the
dividend yield was low, 1973 and 1987, payout ratios were over 50% and are
not comparable to current payout ratios. Instead of using excess earnings
to reward shareholders with larger dividends, corporations are using the
cash to enhance shareholder value by repurchasing their stocks. Yes,
dividend yields are low, but price/earnings ratios are also low. As long as
earnings continue to grow, I'm not overly worried about the dividend yield.
Remember, it's a market of stocks, and opportunities are always available
as long as one chooses to seek them out.

FUND FACTS

GEORGE VANDERHEIDEN ON
CAPITAL SPENDING:
"Something's happening to
corporate income statements
and balance sheets that was
not fully anticipated; cash flow
is going through the roof. As a
result of two trends - namely
right-sizing factories during the
past recession and better
working capital management
- -corporate earnings and cash
flow have exploded in this
recovery. The three U.S. auto
companies, for example, had
total cash, after subtracting
debt, of $14 billion at the end of
March.
"Cash continues to pile up and
the auto companies' goal is to
have net cash of $33 billion by
the next downturn. This
liquidity pile up is not just
happening in autos - it's also
occurring in other
manufacturing industries and
in companies such as Intel,
Caterpillar, and John Deere.
"Liquidity also is surging in
banks. In fact, the banks used
their excess liquidity to make
record share repurchases last
year. There were 134
buyback announcements for
a total of $9.4 billion in stock.
"This is why I think the capital
spending theme is not
over. Companies have lots of
cash and instead of letting it
pile up on the balance sheet
and attract unwanted
attention, they will
increasingly be inclined to use it
to buy back shares and to
expand capacity. I continue to
think that this is the decade that
capital goods stocks will excel
at the expense of consumer
goods stocks."

23. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of
foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign
currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC),
partnerships, non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income
tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain loss. Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
24. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate
transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency
exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to
foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's
investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell
can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise from changes in the value
of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or
2. OPERATING POLICIES -

less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or
Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
25. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $2,384,166,000 and $1,026,496,000, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $190,665,000 and
$40,237,000, respectively.
26. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2700% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. The
basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus) .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared
to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period,
the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .70% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the
fund pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a
distribution and service fee that is based on an annual rate of .65% of its
average net assets. For the period, the fund paid FDC $17,170,000 of which
$13,136,000 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder
support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. No payments were made to third parties under
the Plan during the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling Class A shares of the
fund. The sales charge rates ranged from 2.00% to
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
4.75% based on purchase amounts of less than $1,000,000. Purchase amounts
of $1,000,000 or more are not charged a sales load. For the period, FDC
received $31,248,000 of which $26,567,000 was paid to securities dealers,
banks and other financial institutions.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB) is the
transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for the fund.
SSB has an arrangement for certain transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing to be performed by Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR. During the period November
1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, the fund paid fees based on the type, size,
number of accounts and the number of transactions made by shareholders.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised
transfer agent contract pursuant to which the fund pays account fees and
asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Company (FSC) maintains the fund's
accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for
the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $932,000 for the period.
27. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$233,000 under this arrangement.
28. TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions with companies which are or
were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been some positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on January 7, 1987. For example, if you invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class A's returns to those of
the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index and the Salomon Brothers
Treasury/ Agency Index - both broad measures of the performance of U.S.
government bonds. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the average general U.S. government bond
fund, which reflects the performance of 176 funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effects of sales charges. Comparing Class A's performance to
the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how the class did compared to
inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the month end closest to the fund's
start date.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor Government Investment Fund - Class A on January 31, 1987, shortly
after the fund started, and paid the maximum 4.75% sales charge. As the
chart shows, by April 30, 1995, the value of your investment would have
grown to $16,478 - a 64.78% increase on your initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency Index did over
the same period. With dividends reinvested the same $10,000 investment
would have grown to $18,869 - an 88.69% increase. Beginning with this
report, the fund will compare its performance to the Salomon Brothers
Treasury/Agency Index rather than the Lehman Brothers Government Bond
Index. Although the difference in performance between the two indexes is
small, the Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency Index includes fewer securities
and is more straightforward to monitor on a daily basis. For comparison
purposes, both indexes are shown on Performance: The Bottom Line, Page 4.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return, and yield
of a fund that invests in
bonds will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set period and
do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number,
based on an average net asset value of $9.23 over
the past month, $9.03 over the past six months or $9.08 over the past year,
you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day
annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the yields of
the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows
you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the
period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an
equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield
includes the effect of Class A's maximum 4.75% sales charge. If the adviser
had not reimbursed certain class expenses during the periods shown, the
yield would have been 5.69%.
ADVISOR GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND - CLASS B
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at
the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change,
or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return includes
changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and
capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at income to measure performance.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses during the periods
shown, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.
On June 30, 1994, the fund began offering Class B shares. All performance
information for Class B prior to June 30, 1994 reflects the performance of
Class A, and therefore does not reflect different Class B 12b-1 fee and
transfer agent fee arrangements (see Notes to the Financial Statements),
which if included, would have lowered Class B's performance. Class B's
contingent deferred sales charges included in the past 6 months, past 1
year, past 5 years and life of fund total return figures are 4%, 4%, 1% and
0%, respectively.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on January 7, 1987. For example, if you invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class B's returns to those of
the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index and the Salomon Brothers
Treasury/ Agency Index - both broad measures of the performance of U.S.
government bonds. To measure how Class B's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the average general U.S. government bond
fund, which reflects the performance of 176 funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effects of sales charges. Comparing Class B's performance to
the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how the class did compared to
inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the month end closest to the fund's
start date.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor Government Investment Fund - Class B on January 31, 1987, shortly
after the fund started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1995, the value of
your investment would have grown to $17,165 - a 71.65% increase on your
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Salomon Brothers
Treasury/Agency Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested
the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,869 - an 88.69%
increase. Beginning with this report, the fund will compare its performance
to the Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency Index rather than the Lehman
Brothers Government Bond Index. Although the difference in performance
between the two indexes is small, the Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency
Index includes fewer securities and is more straightforward to monitor on a
daily basis. For comparison purposes, both indexes are shown on
Performance: The Bottom Line, Pages 7 and 8.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return, and yield
of a fund that invests in
bonds will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.
The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield excludes the

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS:
On February 13, Robert Ives (right photo) became portfolio manager of
Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund. The following is an interview
with Curt Hollingsworth - who managed the fund during most of the period
covered by this report - with some comments from Bob Ives on his outlook
and strategy.
Q. CURT, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
C.H. For the six months ended April 30, 1995, the fund's Class A shares
and Class B shares had total returns of 6.46% and 6.08%, respectively. For
the 12 months ended April 30, 1995, the fund's Class A and Class B shares
returned 6.76% and 5.93%, respectively. During the same periods, the
average general government bond fund returned 6.34% and 5.32%,
respectively, as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, and the Salomon
Brothers Treasury/Agency Index returned 6.56% and 6.50%, respectively.
Q. THE PAST SIX MONTHS HAVE BEEN A PARTICULARLY STRONG PERIOD FOR THE BOND
MARKET. WHAT DROVE ITS RECENT RALLY?
A. The Federal Reserve Board increased short-term interest rates only twice
during the past six months, after having raised them five times from
February through the end of October. Also, there were indications that the
economy was slowing down, so the market became less fearful about possible
inflation, which eats away at a bond's fixed payments. Longer-term interest
rates, in particular, have rallied a fair amount, meaning they have fallen,
and bonds within that maturity spectrum have increased in price.
Shorter-term bond yields have also fallen - and prices have risen - but not
as much.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY DURING THIS PERIOD?
A. I kept the fund's duration - which measures how sensitive its share
price is to changes in interest rates - neutral over the past six months. A
neutral duration means that I'm not betting that interest rates will rise
or fall. Funds with shorter durations - meaning that the managers thought
that interest rates would continue to rise - probably underperformed during
the period. So, having a neutral duration helped the fund perform in line
with the average fund of its type. Going forward, I'll be measuring the
fund's performance more closely against the Salomon Brothers
Treasury/Agency Index and, as a result, will generally keep the fund's
duration in line with that index.
Q. YOU PARED BACK THE FUND'S STAKE IN MORTGAGE SECURITIES BY ABOUT HALF
DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS. WHAT'S THE REASONING BEHIND THAT MOVE?
A. Before November, I had emphasized mortgage securities because they
offered a yield advantage over comparable U.S. Treasury securities. But by
the end of 1994, the yield advantage of owning mortgage securities became
less and less, so I started selling them to take profits. In their place I
bought U.S. Treasury and agency securities. As of April 30, 1995, only
20.5% of the fund was invested in mortgage securities, while 58.4% and
19.4%, respectively, was invested in U.S. Treasury and agency securities.
Q. WHAT AGENCY ISSUES DID YOU FIND MOST ATTRACTIVE?
A. Securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association and the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation made up about one-quarter of the
fund's stake in agency issues at the end of the period. I bought them at a
time when there was a fairly heavy supply and as such, their prices were
relatively cheap. Many of these securities have appreciated. What's more,
the yield advantage of owning these bonds grew over the period, so they
added extra yield to the fund.
Q. TURNING TO YOU BOB, WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE TO THE PORTFOLIO SINCE
TAKING OVER?
B.I. Let me start by saying that the changes I have made so far reflect
current market conditions and opportunities, rather than a difference in
investment philosphy with Curt. My strategy probably will be similar to
his, so there should be a fair amount of continuity. That said, I've added
to the fund's stake in agency securities and mortgage securities because
they regained some of their yield advantage over Treasuries. Within the
mortgage sector, I've recently emphasized collateralized mortgage
obligations, or CMOs, rather than Ginnie Maes. CMOs are securities that
comprise several mortgages which are separated into what are known as
tranches. Each tranche may have a different maturity.
Q. DID YOU ALTER THE FUND'S MATURITY STRUCTURE?
A. Yes, because in my view the market appears to be placing too high a
probability on the notion that recent evidence of an economic slowdown will
mean the Federal Reserve Board is finished raising interest rates. However,
I believe we may see further interest rate hikes. As a result, I moved the
fund toward a defensive strategy known as a "barbell" maturity structure.
That strategy involves heavily weighting two ends of the maturity spectrum
and investing little in between. Given all the possibilities over the next
few months, I think a barbell structure can help reduce downside risk,
while at the same time it can help increase the fund's potential for gains.
Q. CAN THE BOND MARKET CONTINUE AT ITS STRONG RECENT PACE?
A. I think it's unclear where the economy goes from here - into a recession
or back to growing at a moderate pace. Consumer spending - which drives
about two-thirds of the economy - has slowed. What consumers do going
forward will have very important implications for the economy. I'll be
watching economic data over the coming months, trying to see if the economy
is moving one way or the other. That said, I believe that going forward it
may be difficult for the bond market to match the returns we've seen so far
this year.

ROBERT IVES ON HIS INVESTMENT
PHILOSOPHY:
"I generally don't position the
fund to take advantage of
rising or falling interest rates.
Instead, I keep the fund's
duration - a measure of how
sensitive its share price is to
changes in interest rates - in
line with the market. In my
view, finding sectors - and
individual issues within those
sectors - that offer the best
value is the most prudent way
to achieve total return. With
this strategy I try to buy
securities when they are
inexpensive - based on what
I believe to be their actual
value - before the market
comes to the same
conclusion. I look for
opportunities with good
risk/reward trade-offs -
those situations where I feel
there is a combination of low
risk and higher potential for
gain. I also seek to diversify
my investments, so that the
fund's performance is not
overly dependent on the
performance of a particular
type or class of security."

30. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A and Class B shares, each of which has equal rights
as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to its distribution plan. The fund commenced sale of Class B
shares on June 30, 1994. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital
gains and losses, and the common expenses of the fund are allocated on a
prorata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class
to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares differs in its
respective distribution, transfer agent, registration, and certain other
class-specific fees and expenses.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued either at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good
faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision
of the Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends are declared separately for each class,
while capital gain distributions are declared at the fund level and
allocated to each class on a prorata basis based on the number of shares
held by each class on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown
gains/losses on certain securities, market discount and losses deferred due
to wash sales.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may
include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end
is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
31. OPERATING POLICIES.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that
mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized
by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
32. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of long-term U.S. government and government agency
obligations aggregated $296,649,933 and $249,213,855, respectively.
33. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .1200% to .3700% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .46%
of average net assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with respect to
the fund's Class A shares ("Class A Plan") and Class B shares ("Class B
Plan"), pursuant to which the fund pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation
(FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution and service fee. This fee is
based on annual rates of .25% and 1.00% (of which .75% represents a
distribution fee and .25% represents a shareholder service fee) of the
average net assets of the Class A and Class B shares, respectively. For the
period, the fund paid FDC $170,890 and $19,122 under the Class A Plan and
Class B Plan, respectively, of which $163,802 and $4,734 were paid to
securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the
distribution of Class A and Class B shares, and providing shareholder
support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plans also authorize payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. No payments were made under the Plans during
the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for
selling Class A shares of the fund. For the period, FDC received sales
charges of $436,540 on sales of Class A shares of the fund, of which
$371,002 was paid to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions. FDC also receives the proceeds of a contingent deferred sales
charge levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within five years of
purchase. The charge is based on declining rates which range from 4% to 1%
of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested dividends
and capital gains. For the period, FDC received contingent deferred sales
charges of $4,924 on Class B share redemptions from the fund. When Class B
shares are sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to dealers
through which the sales are made.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) and
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate
of FMR (collectively referred to as the Transfer Agents) are the transfer,
dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agents for the fund's Class
A and Class B shares, respectively. During the period November 1, 1994 to
December 31, 1994, the Transfer Agents received fees based on the type,
size, number of accounts and the number of transactions made by
shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. Effective January 1,
1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised transfer agent contract
pursuant to which the Transfer Agents receive account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the
shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. With respect to the

shares, State Street has delegated certain transfer, dividend paying, and
shareholder services to FIIOC for which FIIOC receives its allocable share
of all such fees. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
34. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain transfer agent, distribution
and registration expenses above a specified percentage of average net
assets for Class A and Class B. During the period, this expense limitation
ranged from an annual rate of .74% to .95% of average net assets for Class
A and ranged from an annual rate of 1.49% to 1.70% of average net assets
for Class B. For the period, the reimbursements reduced the expenses of
Class A and Class B by $247,494 and $23,381, respectively.
