                                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                            (Unaudited)

                                        September 30, 1996

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

   Gateway Tax Credit Fund II Ltd. ("Gateway"), a Florida Limited
Partnership, was formed September 12, 1989, under the laws of
Florida.  Operations commenced on September 14, 1990 for Series 2,
September 28, 1990 for Series 3, February 1, 1991 for Series 4,
July 1, 1991 for Series 5 and January 1, 1992 for Series 6. 
Gateway has invested, as a limited partner, in other limited
partnerships ("Project Partnerships") each of which owns and
operates one or more apartment complexes expected to qualify for
Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.  Gateway will terminate on December
31, 2040, or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the Limited
Partnership Agreement.  As of September 30, 1996, Gateway had
received capital contributions of $1,000 from the General Partners
and $37,228,000 from Beneficial Assignee Certificate investors (the
"Assignees").  The fiscal year of Gateway for reporting purposes
ends on March 31.

   Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, Gateway filed a Form S-11
Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
effective September 12, 1989, which covered the offering (the
"Public Offering") of Gateway's Beneficial Assignee Certificates
("BACs") representing assignments of units for the beneficial
interest of the limited partnership interest of the Assignor
Limited Partner.  The Assignor Limited Partner was formed for the
purpose of serving in that capacity for the Fund and will not
engage in any other business.  

   Raymond James Partners, Inc. and RJ Credit Partners, Inc.,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc., are the
General Partner and the Managing General Partner, respectively. 
The Managing General Partner manages and controls the business of
Gateway.

   Gateway offered BACs in five series.  BACs in the amounts of
$6,136,000, $5,456,000, $6,915,000, $8,616,000 and $10,105,000 for
Series 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively had been issued as of
September 30, 1996.  Each Series is treated as a separate
partnership, investing in a separate and distinct pool of Project
Partnerships.  Net proceeds from each Series are used to acquire
Project Partnerships which are specifically allocated to such
Series.  Income or loss and all tax items from the Project
Partnerships acquired by each Series are specifically allocated
among the Assignees of such Series.

   Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations
and tax credits are allocated 99% to the Assignees and 1% to the
General Partners.  Profit or loss and cash distributions from sales
of properties will be allocated as formulated in the Limited
Partnership Agreement.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

   Gateway utilizes the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues
are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when
obligations are incurred.

   Gateway accounts for its investments as the sole limited partner
in Project Partnerships ("Investments in Project Partnerships")
using the equity method of accounting and reports the equity in
losses of the Project Partnerships on a 3-month lag in the
Statements of Operations.  Under the equity method, the Investments
in Project Partnerships initially include:

  1)  Gateway's capital contribution,
  2)  Acquisition fees paid to the General Partner for services
  rendered in selecting properties for acquisition, and
  3)  Acquisition expenses including legal fees, travel and other
  miscellaneous costs relating to acquiring properties.

Quarterly the Investments in Project Partnerships are increased or
decreased as follows:

  1)  Increased for equity in income or decreased for equity in
  losses of the Project Partnerships,
  2)  Decreased for cash distributions received from the Project
  Partnerships,
  3)  Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and
  expenses,
  4)  In certain Project Partnerships, where Gateway's investment
  was greater than Gateway's pro-rata share of the book value of
  the underlying assets, decreased for the amortization of the
  difference; and
  5)  In certain Project Partnerships, where Gateway's investment
  was less than Gateway's pro-rata share of the book value of the
  underlying assets, increased for the accretion of the difference.

  Amortization and accretion are calculated on a straight-line
basis over 35 years, as this is the average estimated useful life
of the underlying assets.  The net amortization and accretion are
shown as amortization expense on the Statements of Operations.

  Pursuant to the limited partnership agreements for the Project
Partnerships, cash losses generated by the Project Partnerships are
allocated to the general partners of those partnerships.  In
subsequent years, cash profits, if any, are first allocated to the
general partners to the extent of the allocation of prior years'
cash losses.

  Since Gateway invests as a limited partner, and therefore is not
obligated to fund losses or make additional capital contributions,
it does not recognize losses from individual Project Partnerships
to the extent that these losses would reduce the investment in
those Project Partnerships below zero.  The suspended losses will
be used to offset future income from the individual Project
Partnerships.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

  It is Gateway's policy to include short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less in Cash and Cash
Equivalents.  Short-term investments are comprised of money market
mutual funds.

Concentration of Credit Risk

  Financial instruments which potentially subject Gateway to
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash investments in a
money market mutual fund that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Raymond James Financial, Inc.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
estimates that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. 
These estimates are based on management's knowledge and experience. 
Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment in Securities

  Effective April 1, 1994, Gateway adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities ("FAS 115").  Under FAS 115, Gateway is
required to categorize its debt securities as held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale or trading securities, dependent upon Gateway's
intent in holding the securities.  Gateway's intent is to hold all
of its debt securities (U. S. Government Security Strips) until
maturity and to use these reserves to fund Gateway's ongoing
operations.  Interest income is recognized ratably on the U. S.
Government Strips using the effective yield to maturity.

Offering and Commission Costs

  Offering and commission costs were charged against Assignees'
Equity upon the admission of Limited Partners.

Income Taxes

  No provision for income taxes has been made in these financial
statements, as income taxes are a liability of the partners rather
than of Gateway.

Reclassifications

  For comparability, the 1995 figures have been reclassified, where
appropriate, to conform with the financial statement presentation
used in 1996.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  The fair value of investment securities is discussed in Note 3. 
The fair value of current assets and current liabilities is assumed
to be equal to their reported carrying amounts due to their short
term nature.  It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of
the long term payable to the general partner because it is
attributable to a related party transaction for which there would
be no fair market equivalent.

Basis of Preparation

  The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do
not include all of the information and note disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles.  These statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included with the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 1996.  In the opinion of management these financial
statements include adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to fairly summarize the Partnership's
financial position and results of operations.  The results of
operations for the periods may not be indicative of the results to
be expected for the year.


NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES:

  The September 30, 1996 Balance Sheet includes Investment in
Securities consisting of U.S. Government Security Strips which
represents their cost, plus accreted interest income of $112,259
for Series 2, $99,852 for Series 3, $126,502 for Series 4, $157,669
for Series 5 and $108,151 for Series 6.  For convenience, the
Investment in Securities are commonly held in a brokerage account
with Raymond James and Associates, Inc.   A separate accounting is
maintained for each series' share of the investments.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

  The Payable to General Partners primarily represents the asset
management fees owed to the General Partners at the end of the
period.  It is unsecured, due on demand and, in accordance with the
limited partnership agreement, non-interest bearing.  Within the
next twelve months, the Managing General Partner does not intend to
demand payment on the portion of Asset Management fees payable
classified as long-term on the balance sheet.

  For the six months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 the General
Partners and affiliates are entitled to compensation and
reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred by Gateway as
follows:

  Asset Management Fee - The Managing General Partner is entitled
to be paid an annual asset management fee equal to 0.25% of the
aggregate cost of Gateway's interest in the projects owned by the
Project Partnerships.  The asset management fee will be paid only
after all other expenses of Gateway have been paid.  These fees are
included in the Statements of Operations.

                                  GATEWAY TAX CREDIT FUND II LTD.
                                  (A Florida Limited Partnership)

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                        September 30, 1996
 
Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Operations commenced on September 14, 1990, with the first
admission of Assignees in Series 2.  The proceeds from Assignees'
capital contributions available for investment were used to acquire
interests in Project Partnerships.

  As disclosed on the statement of operations for each Series,
interest income and total expenses are comparable for the six and
three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  There were no
unusual variations in the operating results between these two
periods. 

  The capital resources of each Series are used to pay General and
Administrative operating costs including personnel, supplies, data
processing, travel and legal and accounting associated with the
administration and monitoring of Gateway and the Project
Partnerships.  The capital resources are also used to pay the Asset
Management Fee due the Managing General Partner, but only to the
extent that Gateway's remaining resources are sufficient to fund
Gateway's ongoing needs. 

  The sources of funds to pay the operating costs of each Series
are short term investments and interest earned thereon, the
maturity of U.S. Treasury Security Strips ("Zero Coupon
Treasuries") which were purchased with funds set aside for this
purpose, and cash distributed to the Series from the operations of
the Project Partnerships.

  From inception, no Series has paid distributions and management
does not anticipate distributions in the future.

  Series 2 - Gateway closed this series on September 14, 1990 after
receiving $6,136,000 from 375 Assignees.  Equity in Losses of
Project Partnerships decreased from $307,609 for the six months
ended September 30, 1995 to $236,730 for the six months ended
September 30, 1996.  This decrease was partially caused by $22,657
of losses that were suspended to prevent reducing the investment in
certain Project Partnerships below zero, in accordance with the
equity method of accounting.  In general, it is common in the real
estate industry to experience losses for financial and tax
reporting purposes because of the non-cash expenses of depreciation
and amortization.  As a result, management expects that this
Series, as well as those described below, will report its equity in
Project Partnerships as a loss for tax and financial reporting
purposes.  Overall, management believes the Project Partnerships
are operating as expected and are generating tax credits which meet
projections. 

  At September 30, 1996, the Series had $143,039 of short-term
investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents).  It also had $377,923 in
Zero Coupon Treasuries.  Management believes the sources of funds
are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the
foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee.
 
  As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had a net
loss of $267,745 for the six months ended September 30, 1996. 
However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project
Partnerships of $236,730 and the changes in operating assets and
liabilities,  net cash used in operating activities was $31,483. 
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $39,003, consisting
of $33,294 from matured Zero Coupon Treasuries and $5,709 in cash
distributions received from the Project Partnerships.  There were
no unusual events or trends to describe.

  Series 3 - Gateway closed this series on December 13, 1990 after
receiving $5,456,000 from 398 Assignees.  Equity in Losses of
Project Partnerships decreased from $245,664 for the six months
ended September 30, 1995 to $190,302 for the six months ended
September 30, 1996.  This decrease was partially caused by $89,065
of losses that were suspended to prevent reducing the investment in
certain Project Partnerships below zero, in accordance with the
equity method of accounting in comparison to $22,388 for the period
ended September 30, 1995.  Overall, management believes these
Project Partnerships are operating as expected and are generating
tax credits which meet projections.  

  At September 30, 1996, the Series had $107,298 of short-term
investments (Cash and Cash Equivalents).  It also had $336,154 in
Zero Coupon Treasuries.  Management believes these sources of funds
are sufficient to meet the Series' current and ongoing operating
costs for the foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset
Management Fee.

  As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had a net
loss of $222,876 for the six months ended September 30, 1996. 
However, after adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project
Partnerships of $190,302 and the changes in operating assets and
liabilities net cash used in operating activities was $44,064. 
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $53,374, consisting
of $23,757 in cash distributions received from the Project
Partnerships and $29,617 from matured Zero Coupon Treasuries. 
There were no unusual events or trends to describe.

believes these Project Partnerships are operating as expected and
are generating tax credits which meet projections.
