                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   General

      Hutton  Investors  Futures Fund L.P. II (the  "Partnership")  is a limited
partnership, organized on March 31, 1987 under the partnership laws of the State
of Delaware,  to engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of
commodity interests including futures contracts,  options and forward contracts.
The  commodity  interests  that are traded by the  partnership  are volatile and
involve a high degree of market risk. The  Partnership  commenced  operations on
July 24, 1987.

        Smith Barney Futures  Management  Inc. acts as the general  partner (the
"General Partner") of the Partnership. Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), an affiliate of
the General Partner,  acts as commodity broker for the Partnership.  All trading
decisions  for the  Partnership  are made by John W. Henry & Company,  Inc.  and
TrendLogic Associates (collectively, the "Advisors").

      The accompanying financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management,  include  all  adjustments  (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
adjustments)  necessary for a fair presentation of the  Partnership's  financial
condition at June 30, 1997 and the results of its  operations  for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. These financial  statements present the
results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures  normally provided
in annual financial statements.  It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes included in the
Partnership's  annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 1996.

      Due to the nature of commodity trading,  the results of operations for the
interim  periods  presented  should not be considered  indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year.

3.  Trading Activities:

      The  Partnership  was formed for the  purpose  of trading  contracts  in a
variety of commodity interests,  including derivative financial  instruments and
derivative  commodity  instruments.  The  results of the  Partnership's  trading
activity are shown in the statement of income and expenses.

      The  Customer   Agreement   between  the  Partnership  and  SB  gives  the
Partnership the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses.

      All of the  commodity  interests  owned  by the  Partnership  are held for
trading purposes. The fair value of these commodity interests, including options
thereon, at June 30, 1997 was $691,215 and the average fair value during the six
months then ended, based on monthly calculation, was $685,366.

4.  Financial Instrument Risk:

      The Partnership is party to financial  instruments with off- balance sheet
risk,  including  derivative  financial  instruments  and  derivative  commodity
instruments,  in the normal course of its business.  These financial instruments
include forwards,  futures and options,  whose value is based upon an underlying
asset,  index, or reference rate, and generally  represent future commitments to
exchange  currencies  or  cash  flows,  to  purchase  or  sell  other  financial
instruments  at specific  terms at specified  future  dates,  or, in the case of
derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled
in cash or with another

                                      6

financial  instrument.  These  instruments  may  be  traded  on an  exchange  or
over-the-counter  ("OTC").  Exchange  traded  instruments are  standardized  and
include  futures and certain  option  contracts.  OTC contracts  are  negotiated
between  contracting  parties and include forwards and certain options.  Each of
these  instruments  is subject to various  risks similar to those related to the
underlying financial  instruments  including market and credit risk. In general,
the risks  associated with OTC contracts are greater than those  associated with
exchange  traded  instruments  because  of the  greater  risk of  default by the
counterparty to an OTC contract.

      Market risk is the  potential  for  changes in the value of the  financial
instruments traded by the Partnership due to market changes,  including interest
and foreign  exchange rate movements and  fluctuations  in commodity or security
prices.  Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.

      Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of
a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with
respect to exchange traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange
or  clearing  organization  acts  as a  counterparty  to the  transactions.  The
Partnership's  risk of loss in the event of  counterparty  default is  typically
limited to the amounts  recognized in the  statement of financial  condition and
not  represented  by the contract or notional  amounts of the  instruments.  The
Partnership has concentration  risk because the sole counterparty or broker with
respect to the Partnership's assets is SB.

      The General Partner monitors and controls the Partnership's  risk exposure
on a daily  basis  through  financial,  credit  and risk  management  monitoring
systems  and,   accordingly  believes  that  it  has  effective  procedures  for
evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the  Partnership is
subject.  These  monitoring  systems allow the General Partner to  statistically
analyze actual  trading  results with risk adjusted  performance  indicators and
correlation statistics. In addition,  on-line monitoring systems provide account
analysis  of  futures,   forwards  and  options  positions  by  sector,   margin
requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

      The  notional  or  contractual  amounts  of these  instruments,  while not
recorded in the financial  statements,  reflect the extent of the  Partnership's
involvement in these instruments.  At June 30, 1997, the notional or contractual
amounts of the  Partnership's  commitment to purchase and sell these instruments
was $175,830,297 and $75,341,734,  respectively, as detailed below. All of these
instruments mature within one year of June 30, 1997. However,  due to the nature
of the Partnership's business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. At
June 30,  1997,  the  fair  value of the  Partnership's  derivatives,  including
options thereon, was $691,215, as detailed below.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Partnership does not engage in the sale of goods or services. Its only
assets are its equity in its commodity  futures trading  account,  consisting of
cash and  cash  equivalents  (such as U.S.  Treasury  Bills,  which  constitutes
approximately  76% of the  Partnership's  assets  at  June  30,  1997)  and  net
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts. Because of the
low margin deposits normally  required in commodity futures trading,  relatively
small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. While
substantial  losses could lead to a substantial  decrease in liquidity,  no such
losses occurred in the Partnership's second quarter of 1997.

      The  Partnership's  capital  consists of the capital  contributions of the
partners as  increased  or  decreased  by gains or losses on  commodity  futures
trading,  expenses,  interest income,  redemptions of Units and distributions of
profits, if any.

      For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Partnership capital decreased 1.3%
from  $19,153,165  to  $18,902,899.   This  decrease  was  attributable  to  the
redemption of 75 Units  resulting in an outflow of $367,398  which was partially
offset by net income from  operations  of $117,132 for the six months ended June
30,  1997.  Future  redemptions  can impact the  amount of funds  available  for
investment in commodity contract positions in subsequent months.

Results of Operations

      During the  Partnership's  second quarter of 1997, the net asset value per
Unit  decreased  4.3% from  $4,985.31  to  $4,768.64,  as compared to the second
quarter  of 1996 in which  the net  asset  value per Unit  increased  5.1%.  The
Partnership  experienced a net trading loss before  commissions  and expenses in
the second quarter of 1997 of $851,521. Losses were recognized in the trading of
commodity  futures in  currencies,  U.S. and non U.S.  interest rates and energy
products  and were  partially  offset  by gains  recognized  in  metals,  softs,
indices,  grains and livestock.  The Partnership  experienced a net trading gain
before commissions and expenses in the second quarter of 1996 of $935,547. Gains
were  recognized in the trading of  currencies,  agricultural  products,  energy
products and metals and were partially  offset by losses in indices and interest
rates.


      Commodity  futures markets are highly volatile.  Broad price  fluctuations
and rapid  inflation  increase the risks involved in commodity  trading but also
increase the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends
on the  existence  of major  price  trends and the  ability of the  Advisors  to
identify correctly

                                      9

those price trends. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing
supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial
and trade  programs and  policies,  national  and  international  political  and
economic  events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends
exist and the Advisors are able to identify  them,  the  Partnership  expects to
increase capital through operations.

      Interest income earned on U.S. Treasury Bills for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997 increased by $45,451 and $83,735,  respectively, as compared
to the  corresponding  periods in 1996.  This  increase in  interest  income was
attributable  to an  increase  in  Partnership  capital as a result of  positive
trading  performance  which was partially offset by redemptions  during 1996 and
through the second quarter of 1997.

      Brokerage  commissions  are based on the number of trades  executed by the
Advisors.  Brokerage  commissions and clearing fees for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997 increased by $49,968 and $29,054,  respectively, as compared
to the corresponding periods in 1996.

      Incentive  fees are based on the new  trading  profits  generated  by each
Advisor as defined in the  advisory  agreements  between  the  Partnership,  the
General  Partner and each  Advisor.  Trading  performance  for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997  resulted in incentive  fees of $4,111 and  $202,238,
respectively.  Trading  performance  for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 resulted in incentive fees of $119,987 and $157,753, respectively.
