                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                JUNE 29, 1998
                                  (UNAUDITED)
1.   Basis of Presentation

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been  prepared in
     accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for  interim
     financial  information.  They do not include all  information and footnotes
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
     statements.  The results of operations  are impacted  significantly  by the
     combined  results  of  operations  of the  Local  Partnerships,  which  are
     provided by the Local  Partnerships  on an unaudited  basis during  interim
     periods.  Accordingly,  the accompanying financial statements are dependent
     on such unaudited  information.  In the opinion of the General Partner, the
     financial  statements  include all adjustments  necessary to present fairly
     the  financial  position as of June 29, 1998 and the results of  operations
     and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  All adjustments are of a
     normal  recurring  nature.  The results of operations  for the three months
     ended June 29, 1998 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may
     be expected for the entire year.

     Certain  reclassifications  of  amounts  have been made to  conform  to the
     current period presentation.

2.   Comprehensive Income

     On  March  31,  1998,  the  Partnership   adopted  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive Income." As
     a result,  the  statements  of  operations  includes  an  amount  for other
     comprehensive  income, as well as comprehensive  loss. Other  comprehensive
     income consists of revenues,  expenses, gains and losses that have affected
     partners'  equity  (deficit)  but which are excluded  from net loss.  Other
     comprehensive  income in the  accompanying  statement of operations for the
     three months ended June 29, 1998  resulted  from a net  unrealized  gain on
     investments  in bonds  available-for-sale  of  $18,056.  Accumulated  other
     comprehensive  income in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 29, 1998
     reflects  the  cumulative  net  unrealized  gain on  investments  in  bonds
     available-for-sale.  The  balance  sheet  as of  March  30,  1998  and  the
     statement  of  operations  for the three months ended June 29, 1997 include
     certain reclassifications to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 130.

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

Material Changes in Financial Condition

As of June 29, 1998,  American Tax Credit Properties II L.P. (the  "Registrant")
has not experienced a significant  change in financial  condition as compared to
March  30,  1998.   Principal  changes  in  assets  are  comprised  of  periodic
transactions  and adjustments and anticipated  equity in loss from operations of
the  local  partnerships  (the  "Local   Partnerships")   which  own  low-income
multifamily  residential  complexes  (the  "Properties")  which  qualify for the
low-income  tax  credit  under  Section  42 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code (the
"Low-income  Tax  Credit").  During  the  three  months  ended  June  29,  1998,
Registrant received cash from interest revenue, maturity/redemption of bonds and
distributions from Local Partnerships and utilized cash for operating  expenses.
Cash and cash equivalents and investments in bonds available-for-sale increased,
in the aggregate,  by approximately  $150,000 during the three months ended June
29,  1998  (which  included a net  unrealized  gain on  investments  in bonds of
approximately  $18,000,  the amortization of net premium on investments in bonds
of approximately  $8,000 and the accretion of zero coupon bonds of approximately
$10,000).  Notwithstanding  circumstances  that may arise in connection with the
Properties, Registrant does not expect to realize significant gains or losses on
its  investments in bonds,  if any. During the three months ended June 29, 1998,
the  investment  in Local  Partnerships  decreased  as a result of  Registrant's
equity in the Local  Partnerships' net loss for the three months ended March 31,
1998 of $619,233 and cash  distributions  received  from Local  Partnerships  of
$124,527  (exclusive of distributions from Local Partnerships of $388 classified
as other income).  Accounts  payable and accrued expenses and payable to general
partner  in the  accompanying  balance  sheet  as of June  29,  1998  represents
deferred administration fees and management fees, respectively.

Results of Operations

Registrant's  operating  results are dependent upon the operating results of the
Local  Partnerships and are  significantly  impacted by the Local  Partnerships'
policies. In addition, the operating results herein are not necessarily the same
for tax reporting.  Registrant accounts for its investment in Local Partnerships
in accordance  with the equity method of accounting,  under which the investment
is  carried  at cost  and is  adjusted  for  Registrant's  share  of each  Local
Partnership's results of operations and by cash distributions  received.  Equity
in loss of each  investment  in Local  Partnership  allocated to  Registrant  is
recognized  to the  extent of  Registrant's  investment  balance  in each  Local
Partnership.  Equity in loss in excess of Registrant's  investment  balance in a
Local  Partnership  is  allocated to other  partners'  capital in any such Local
Partnership.  As a result,  the reported  equity in loss of  investment in Local
Partnerships is expected to decrease as Registrant's  investment balances in the
respective Local Partnerships become zero. The combined statements of operations
of  the  Local  Partnerships  reflected  in  Note  4 to  Registrant's  financial
statements include the operating results of all Local Partnerships, irrespective
of Registrant's investment balances.

Cumulative  losses  and cash  distributions  in  excess of  investment  in Local
Partnerships  may result  from a variety  of  circumstances,  including  a Local
Partnership's  accounting  policies,   subsidy  structure,  debt  structure  and
operating deficits, among other things. Accordingly,  cumulative losses and cash
distributions  in excess of the  investment  are not  necessarily  indicative of
adverse  operating  results of a Local  Partnership.  See discussion below under
Local  Partnership  Matters  regarding  certain  Local  Partnerships   currently
operating below economic break even levels.

Registrant's  operations  for the  three  months  ended  June 29,  1998 and 1997
resulted in net losses of $722,189 and $839,952,  respectively.  The decrease in
net loss from 1997 to 1998 is primarily  attributable to a decrease in equity in
loss of investment in Local  Partnerships of  approximately  $138,000,  which is
primarily  the result of a decrease in the net  operating  losses of those Local
Partnerships  that continue to have an  investment  balance as of June 29, 1998.
Other  comprehensive  income for the three  months  ended June 29, 1998 and 1997
resulted from a net unrealized  gain on investments in bonds  available-for-sale
of $18,056 and $71,876, respectively.

The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately  $894,000 for the three months
ended  March  31,  1998  was   attributable  to  rental  and  other  revenue  of
approximately $5,217,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses (including
interest on non-mandatory  debt) of approximately  $4,793,000 and  approximately
$1,318,000 of depreciation and amortization

Results of Operations (continued)

expense.  The Local  Partnerships' net loss of approximately  $1,006,000 for the
three months ended March 30, 1997 was  attributable  to rental and other revenue
of  approximately  $5,113,000,  exceeded  by  operating  and  interest  expenses
(including  interest on  non-mandatory  debt) of  approximately  $4,799,000  and
approximately  $1,320,000 of depreciation and amortization  expense. The results
of  operations  of the Local  Partnerships  for the three months ended March 31,
1998 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected in
future periods.

Local Partnership Matters

The Properties are principally  comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income
multifamily  residential  complexes  located  throughout  the United  States and
Puerto Rico. The rents of the  Properties,  many of which receive rental subsidy
payments  pursuant  to  subsidy  agreements  ("HAP  Contracts")  are  subject to
specific laws,  regulations and agreements with federal and state agencies.  Six
Local  Partnerships have one or more HAP Contracts,  certain of which cover only
certain  rental units,  which are scheduled to expire in 1998. In addition,  the
Local Partnerships have various financing  structures which include (i) required
debt service payments  ("Mandatory Debt Service") and (ii) debt service payments
which  are  payable  only from  available  cash  flow  subject  to the terms and
conditions of the notes, which may be subject to specific laws,  regulations and
agreements  with  appropriate  federal and state agencies  ("Non-Mandatory  Debt
Service or  Interest").  During the three months  ended March 31, 1998,  revenue
from  operations,  Local  General  Partner  advances  and  reserves of the Local
Partnerships have generally been sufficient to cover the operating  expenses and
Mandatory  Debt  Service.  Substantially  all  of  the  Local  Partnerships  are
effectively  operating  at or near break even  levels,  although  certain  Local
Partnerships'  operating  information  reflects  operating  deficits that do not
represent  cash deficits due to their  mortgage and financing  structure and any
required  deferral of property  management  fees.  However,  as discussed below,
certain Local  Partnerships'  operating  information  indicates below break even
operations after taking into account their mortgage and financing  structure and
any required deferral of property management fees.

The terms of the partnership  agreements of Christian Street Associates  Limited
Partnership (the "Christian Street Local  Partnership") and 2000-2100  Christian
Street Associates (the "2000 Christian Street Local Partnership") (collectively,
the  "Christian  Street  Local  Partnerships"),  which Local  Partnerships  have
certain common  general  partner  interests and a common first mortgage  lender,
require the Local General Partners to advance funds to cover operating  deficits
up to  $182,500  (through  March 1996) and  $130,000  (through  December  1996),
respectively,  and to cause the management  agent to defer  property  management
fees in order to avoid a default under the respective mortgages.  The properties
have experienced  ongoing operating deficits and as of March 31, 1998, the Local
General  Partners have advanced  approximately  $573,000 to the Christian Street
Local Partnership and approximately  $445,000 to the 2000 Christian Street Local
Partnership.  However,  the Local General  Partners,  which have fulfilled their
respective deficit guarantees,  have informed Registrant that they do not intend
to continue to voluntarily  fund the operating  deficits of the properties.  The
Local General  Partners have also informed  Registrant that the Christian Street
Local Partnerships are current under their respective first mortgage obligations
as a result of the Local General  Partners' funding of operating  deficits.  The
Local  General  Partners  have  approached  the  lender  and are  attempting  to
restructure the loans;  however the lender has indicated that in connection with
any such  restructuring,  the respective Local Partnerships would be responsible
for certain costs, which may be significant.  There can be no assurance that any
such restructuring will be achieved.  The Christian Street Local Partnership and
the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership  have continued to incur significant
operating deficits for  the three  months ended  March 31, 1998.  The  Christian
Street Local Partnerships have allocated  approximately 7.5 years of Low-income 
Tax Credits to Registrant through December 31, 1997.  Accordingly, if the Local 
General Partners cease to  fund  the  operating  deficits,  Registrant may incur
substantial recapture of Low-income  Tax  Credits. Of Registrant's total annual 
Low-income Tax Credits, approximately 6% and 3% are allocated from the Christian
Street  Local  Partnership  and  the  2000  Christian  Street Local Partnership,
respectively, and are scheduled to expire in 2000.

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, Forest Village Housing Partnership
(the  "Forest  Village  Local  Partnership")  incurred an  operating  deficit of
approximately  $14,000, resulting primarily from costs  associated  with  tenant
turnover and maintenance costs.  Payments  on  the  mortgages  and  real  estate
taxes  are  current.  Of  Registrant's  total  annual  Low-income  Tax  Credits,
approximately 1% is allocated from the Forest Village Local Partnership.

Results of Operations (continued)

During the three  months ended March 31, 1998,  Ann Ell  Apartments  Associates,
Ltd.  (the  "Ann Ell  Local  Partnership")  incurred  an  operating  deficit  of
approximately  $27,000. Payments on mortgage and real estate taxes are current. 
Of  Registrant's  total  annual  Low-income Tax Credits, approximately  .7%  is 
allocated from the Ann Ell Local Partnership.

The  terms  of  the  partnership  agreement  of  Batesville  Family,  L.P.  (the
"Batesville Local  Partnership")  require the management agent to defer property
management  fees in order to avoid a default under the mortgage.  The Batesville
Local Partnership  incurred an operating deficit of approximately $7,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998,  which includes  property  management fees of
approximately $500.  Of Registrant's total annual income Low-income Tax Credits,
approximately .3% is allocated from the Batesville Local Partnership.

Littleton Avenue Community Village,  L.P. (the "Littleton Local Partnership") is
a  defendant  in a  lawsuit  resulting  from  an  accident  in 1989  during  the
construction  of the  complex  owned  by the  Littleton  Local  Partnership.  In
November 1995 the Littleton Local  Partnership and one  co-defendant  were found
liable in the lawsuit,  of which the  Littleton  Local  Partnership's  potential
liability  is  approximately  $300,000.  The  Littleton  Local  Partnership  has
appealed  the  result  of  the  trial  and  has  filed  a  lawsuit  against  the
construction  period insurance  companies,  which were not  co-defendants in the
lawsuit.  Although the Local General  Partner expects the incident to be covered
by insurance, it has agreed to indemnify the Littleton Local Partnership and has
established an escrow of approximately $325,000 from development proceeds in the
event the Littleton  Local  Partnership  is  unsuccessful  in its appeal and its
action against the construction period insurance companies.

Adoption of Accounting Standard

On March 31, 1998, Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
("SFAS") No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income." SFAS No. 130  establishes
standards for reporting and display of  comprehensive  income and its components
(revenues,  expenses,  gains  and  losses)  in a  full  set  of  general-purpose
financial  statements.  The adoption of SFAS No. 130 has not materially impacted
Registrant's financial position and results of operations.

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          As discussed in Part I, Item 2 - Management's  Discussion and Analysis
          of Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations,  Littleton  Avenue
          Community  Village,  L.P. (the  "Littleton  Local  Partnership")  is a
          defendant in a lawsuit  resulting  from an accident in 1989 during the
          construction of the complex owned by the Littleton Local  Partnership.
          In November 1995 the Littleton Local  Partnership and one co-defendant
          were  found  liable  in the  lawsuit,  of which  the  Littleton  Local
          Partnership's  potential  liability  is  approximately  $300,000.  The
          Littleton  Local  Partnership has appealed the result of the trial and
          has  filed  a  lawsuit  against  the  construction   period  insurance
          companies,  which were not co-defendants in the lawsuit.  Although the
          Local General Partner of the Littleton Local  Partnership  expects the
          incident to be covered by  insurance,  it has agreed to indemnify  the
          Littleton   Local   Partnership  and  has  established  an  escrow  of
          approximately  $325,000  from  development  proceeds  in the event the
          Littleton  Local  Partnership  is  unsuccessful  in its appeal and its
          action against the construction period insurance companies.

          Registrant is not aware of any other material legal proceedings.
