4.   Litigation

As previously  reported,  the Partnership and its affiliates  recently settled a
lawsuit with the former  managing  general  partners of Garden Cove  Apartments,
Ltd.  ("Garden Cove").  Management  believes the settlement was favorable to the
Partnership.  Among other things,  the majority of the settlement  payments were
reimbursed by the Partnership's insurer.  However, the Partnership also incurred
significant  litigation expenses in connection with this matter. As of September
30, 1996, these expenses totaled approximately $188,000.

In early  September,  Garden Cove and the former local managing general partners
of this partnership were served with a lawsuit by Saunders Construction Company,
Inc., the contractor for this apartment  complex.  Saunders  claims that certain
amounts  on  its   construction   contract  remain  unpaid  and  it  is  seeking
approximately  $196,000, plus interest, from Garden Cove. Additional amounts are
sought from the former managing  general  partners.  Neither the Partnership nor
its General  Partners are  defendants  in this matter.  Because this lawsuit was
only recently filed,  it is too early to determine  whether Garden Cove may have
any exposure.

          BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. II
                             (A Limited Partnership)

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 1996, the Partnership,  including  Garden Cove Apartments,  had
cash and cash equivalents of $205,985 as compared to $164,590 at March 31, 1996.
The increase is primarily attributable to proceeds from the sales and maturities
of marketable  securities in excess of purchases of  marketable  securities  and
cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships. These increases are
offset by cash used for operations.

The Managing  General Partner  initially  designated 3% of the Gross Proceeds to
Reserves.  The Reserves were  established to be used for working  capital of the
Partnership  and  contingencies  related  to  the  ownership  of  Local  Limited
Partnership  interests.  The Managing  General  Partner may increase or decrease
such Reserves from time to time, as it deems appropriate.  During the year ended
March 31, 1993,  the Managing  General  Partner  decided to increase the Reserve
level to 4% and it  transferred  the  additional  funds to the Reserve  account.
Approximately  $184,000 has been withdrawn from the Reserve account to pay legal
and  other  costs  related  to the Mod Rehab  issue.  Additionally,  legal  fees
relating to various  property  issues totaling  approximately  $24,000 have been
paid from Reserves.  The Partnership also advanced approximately $861,000 to two
Local Limited Partnerships.

Management  believes that the  investment  income earned on the Reserves,  along
with cash distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships,  to the extent
available,  will be sufficient  to fund the  Partnership's  ongoing  operations.
Reserves may be used to fund  Partnership  operating  deficits,  if the Managing
General Partner deems funding appropriate.  At September 30, 1996, approximately
$1,193,000 of marketable securities has been designated as Reserves.

At September 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  has  committed to make future  capital
contributions  and to pay future purchase price  installments on its investments
in Local Limited  Partnerships.  These future  payments are contingent  upon the
achievement  of certain  criteria as set forth in the Local Limited  Partnership
Agreements and total approximately $337,500.

Since the  Partnership  invests as a limited  partner,  the  Partnership  has no
contractual  duty to  provide  additional  funds to Local  Limited  Partnerships
beyond its specified investment. Thus, as of September 30, 1996, the Partnership
had no contractual or other  obligation to any Local Limited  Partnership  which
had not been paid or provided for, except as disclosed above.

In the  event a Local  Limited  Partnership  encounters  operating  difficulties
requiring  additional funds, the  Partnership's  management might deem it in its
best  interest  to provide  such  funds,  voluntarily,  in order to protect  its
investment.

Cash Distributions

No cash distributions were made during the six months ended September 30,1996.

Results of Operations

For the  three  and  six  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the  Partnership
operations resulted in a net losses of $706,504 and $2,023,625, respectively, as
compared to net losses of $834,257 and  $2,154,338,  respectively,  for the same
period in 1995. The slight decrease in net loss is primarily due to lower equity
in losses of Local Limited  Partnerships.  Fewer losses are being  recognized in
1996 because more Local Limited Partnerships have cumulative equity in losses in
excess of their total investments as compared to the same period in 1995.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Property Discussions

As previously reported, Garden Cove, located in Huntsville,  Alabama,  defaulted
on its mortgage,  and the Managing Local General  Partner,  and affiliate of the
Managing General Partner, completed a GNMA security reissuance which resulted in
a reduction of debt  service.  However,  the property  continues to operate at a
cash flow deficit  despite the lower debt  service due to a weak rental  market.
Beginning in the third quarter of 1994, the operating  deficits have been funded
from Partnership reserves. In addition,  this Local Limited Partnership has been
included in certain  litigation  matters,  which are  described in Note 4 to the
Combined Financial Statements.

Snapfinger Creste,  Shannon Creste, and Grayton Pointe, three Georgia properties
which share the same Local  General  Partner,  continue to be affected by a weak
rental market. The properties also suffer from deferred  maintenance.  The Local
General  Partner is  obligated to fund  deficits  and has made  advances and has
deferred management fees. However,  such funding obligations are limited, and it
is  doubtful  that  the  Local  General  Partner  will be  able  to  meet  these
obligations.  Recently,  the Managing  General Partner reached an agreement with
the Local General Partner to allow, under certain  circumstances,  the admission
of  affiliates  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  as a  General  Partner  and
Management Agent.  Affiliates of the Managing General Partner are in the process
of assuming  the General  Partner  interest and  management  contract of Shannon
Creste,  and have  negotiated  a tentative  agreement  with the lender that will
provide debt service relief and capital improvements funding.

Both  Snapfinger   Creste  and  Grayton  Point  have  defaulted  on  their  loan
obligations.  Negotiations with their respective lenders are still underway.  In
July 1996, the Local General Partner transferred management of Snapfinger Creste
to an unaffiliated  entity.  Pending an acceptable  workout agreement with these
lenders,  affiliates of the Managing  General Partner are prepared to step in as
General  Partner and Managing  Agent for both  properties.  Such  agreement  may
require  advances from Partnership  Reserves.  Should these  negotiations  prove
unsatisfactory,  it is unlikely that the Partnership  will be able to retain its
interest in these  properties,  in which case investors will incur  recapture of
previous tax credit benefits.

Shadow Wood Housing,  located in  Chickasha,  Oklahoma,  is also  operating at a
deficit  resulting  from high security  costs,  low Section 8 contract rates and
high debt service  payments.  The Local General Partners are working to increase
operating   income   through   contract  rent   increases  and  a  debt  service
restructuring.  Operating  deficits are currently being funded by the management
agent. A fire in one building has resulted in lower than anticipated occupancy.
