                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.  General.

    The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
by the Partnership in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the opinion of Management,  all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring
accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been  included.
Although  management  believes  that the  disclosures  are  adequate to make the
information  presented  not  misleading,  it is suggested  that these  condensed
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
the notes included in the Partnership's  Financial Statement,  as filed with the
SEC in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Note 2.  Reclassification.

    Reclassification - Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the 1997 presentation.

Note 3.  Notes Receivable.

    Impaired  Notes  Receivable.  At  June  30,  1997  and  1996,  the  recorded

Note 4.    Income Taxes.

        Federal  and state  income  tax  regulations  provide  that taxes on the
income  or loss of the  Partnership  are  reportable  by the  partners  in their
individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for such taxes has been
made in the accompanying financial statements.

        Phoenix  Concept  Cablevision,  Inc. (The  Subsidiary)  is a corporation
subject to state and  federal tax  regulations.  The  Subsidiary  reports to the
taxing  authority on the accrual basis.  When income and expenses are recognized
in different  periods for  financial  reporting  purposes than for tax purposes,
deferred taxes are provided for such differences using the liability method.

Note 5.    Net Income (Loss) and Distributions per Limited Partnership Unit.

        Net income and distributions per limited  partnership unit were based on
the limited  partners' share of net income and  distributions,  and the weighted
average  number of units  outstanding of 379,583 for the six month periods ended
June  30,  1997  and  1996.  For  purposes  of  allocating   income  (loss)  and
distributions to each individual limited partner, the Partnership  allocates net
income (loss) and  distributions  based upon each respective  limited  partner's
ending capital account balance.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
               Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

      Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund II and Subsidiary (the Partnership)
reported  net income of $164,000 and $227,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997,  as compared to net income of $177,000  and  $332,000  during the
same period in 1996.

      Total  revenues  decreased by $42,000 and $73,000 during the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996.  The primary
factors contributing to the decrease in revenues was a decrease in rental income
of $78,000 and $83,000 and a decrease in equity in earnings from joint  ventures
of  $46,000  and  $57,000,  for the three and six months  ended  June 30,  1997,
respectively,  as  compared  to the same  period in 1996.  This was offset by an
increase in cable subscriber  revenue of $5,000 and $14,000,  and an increase in
gain on sale of  equipment  of $68,000 and  $74,000,  for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, respectively.

      The decline in rental  income is a result of a reduction  in the amount of
equipment  owned by the  Partnership.  At June 30, 1997, the  Partnership  owned
equipment  with an  aggregate  original  cost of $3.6  million,  compared  to $6
million at June 30, 1996.

      The small  increase  in other  income was  attributable  to  increases  in
interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents, a result of the Partnership
maintaining a higher  average cash balance during the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996.

      Total expenses decreased by $25,000 during the three months ended June 30,
1997,  but  increased  by $31,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1997,  as
compared to the same period in 1996.  The  decrease in total  expenses,  for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, is  attributable to a decrease in depreciation
and  amortization  expense of $4,000 and a decrease in lease  related  operating
expenses of $21,000.  The increase in total  expenses,  for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, is attributable to an increase in depreciation  and  amortization
expense of $31,000,  an increase in lease related  operating  expenses of $5,000
and an increase in program  services from cable  systems of $8,000,  offset by a
decrease in general and administrative expenses of $17,000.

      Lease related operating expenses increased,  for the six months ended June
30, 1997, due to a $46,000 increase in remarketing costs. However,  maintenance,
administrative  and  residual  sharing  expenses  incurred  by  the  Partnership
decreased  as a result  of the  decrease  in the  revenues  received  from  this
equipment.

      The increase in depreciation and amortization  expense, for the six months
ended June 30, 1997,  is primarily  due to  additional  depreciation  of $42,000
booked  during the period  ended March 31,  1997.  Normal  monthly  depreciation
decreased  by $4,000 and  $11,000  for the three and six  months  ended June 30,
1997,  due to a  reduction  in the size of the  equipment  portfolio  due to the
ongoing sale of equipment.  The decrease in general and administrative  costs of
$17,000 is due to a decrease in audit fees  accrued  during the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The Partnership is currently in its liquidation  stage and is not
expected to acquire any additional equipment. The Partnership will reach the end
of its term on December 31, 1997.

Cable Television System:

      Cable  subscriber  revenues  increased  approximately  $5,000 and  $14,000
during the three and six months  ended June 30,  1997,  as  compared to the same
period in 1996. A special  promotion  offering  free cable  service to its cable
subscribers for the month of March 1996 caused cable  subscriber  revenues to be
lower than usual during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.

Joint Ventures:

      The  Partnership  reported a decrease in earnings  from joint  ventures of
$46,000  and $57,000  during the three and six months  ended June 30,  1997,  as
compared to the same period in 1996. The decrease in earnings is reflective of a
decrease  in  earnings  from one  joint  venture  due to a  decrease  in  rental
revenues. The decrease in rental revenues was caused by a decrease in the amount
of equipment owned by the joint venture due to the ongoing sale of equipment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Partnership's primary source of liquidity comes from equipment leasing
and financing  operations.  The  Partnership has  contractual  obligations  with
lessees for fixed terms at fixed payment amounts and will also receive  payments
on its  outstanding  notes  receivable.  The  liquidity  of the  Partnership  is
dependent  upon its success in collecting  these  contractual  payments owed the
Partnership. As the initial lease terms expire, the Partnership will continue to
renew,  remarket or sell the  equipment.  The future  liquidity in excess of the
remaining contractual obligations will depend upon the General Partner's success
in re-leasing and selling the Partnership's equipment as it comes off lease.

      As another source of liquidity,  the Partnership owns a majority  interest
in a cable television company that it acquired ownership through  foreclosure on
a  defaulted  note  receivable.  This cable  television  company is  expected to
generate a positive cash flow, which will first be used for capital improvements
and  upgrades to the system in order to maximize  the value to be received  upon
the eventual sale of the system.  Any excess cash from operations or the sale of
the system will then be  distributed to the  Partnership in accordance  with its
ownership  interest.  The cable television system operations are currently being
marketed for sale.

      The  Partnership  reported net cash  generated by leasing,  financing  and
cable  television  operations  of $227,000  during the six months ended June 30,
1997,  as  compared to  $347,000  during the same  period in 1996.  The net cash
generated by equipment leasing and financing  activities  decreased,  due to the
decline in rental income,  which is  attributable to the reduction in the amount
of equipment owned by the Partnership.

      The  Partnership  owned  equipment held for lease with an original cost of
$2,107,000  and a net  book  value  of $0 at  June  30,  1997,  as  compared  to
$1,469,000  and $0,  respectively  at June 30,  1996.  The  General  Partner  is
actively engaged,  on behalf of the Partnership,  in remarketing and selling the
Partnership's off-lease equipment portfolio.

      The cash  distributed  to partners  was  $474,000 and $239,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. In accordance with the Limited  Partnership
Agreement,  the limited  partners are entitled to 95% of the cash  available for
distribution and the General Partner is entitled to 5%. As a result, the limited
partners  received  distributions  of $474,000  and  $239,000 for the six months
ended June 30,  1997 and 1996.  The  cumulative  cash  distributions  to limited
partners  are   $80,677,000   and   $80,203,000  at  June  30,  1997  and  1996,
respectively.  The General Partner did not receive payment for its share of cash
distributions  for the six  months  ended  June  30, 1997  and 1996.  While  the


<PAGE>


                                                                    Page 9 of 11

General  Partner is  entitled  to receive 5% of the cash  distributions,  it has
voluntarily  elected  not to  receive  payment at this time for its share of the
cash distributions.

      The Partnership's  asset portfolio continues to decline as a result of the
ongoing  liquidation  of assets,  and  therefore  it is  expected  that the cash
generated  from  operations  will  also  decline.   As  the  cash  generated  by
Partnership operations continues to decline, the rate of cash distributions made
to limited  partners will also decline.  The Partnership made its last quarterly
distribution to partners in January of 1997. The Partnership  will reach the end
of its term on  December  31,  1997,  at which  time it will sell any  remaining
assets at public auction and make a final distribution to partners of the excess
cash,  if  any.  The  General  Partner  is  actively   marketing  for  sale  the
Partnership's net assets and it is expected,  based on current estimates of fair
market  value,  that the net carrying  value of those assets will  ultimately be
recovered. However, the amounts the Partnership will ultimately realize from the
disposition of assets could differ from the net carrying value at June 30, 1997.

      Cash  generated  from  leasing and  financing  operations  has been and is
anticipated  to  continue to be  sufficient  to meet the  Partnership's  ongoing
operational expenses.
