         The information contained in the following notes to the financial
         statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual
         audited financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements
         included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial
         statements and related notes thereto contained in the annual report
         for the year ended December 31, 1995 prepared by National Tax Credit
         Investors II (the "Partnership").  Accounting measurements at interim
         dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year
         end.  The results of operations for the interim periods presented are
         not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

         In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited
         financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of
         normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
         position as of June 30, 1996 and the results of operations for the six
         and three months then ended and changes in cash flows for the six
         months then ended.

         ORGANIZATION

         The Partnership was formed under the California Revised Limited
         Partnership Act on January 12, 1990.  The Partnership was formed to
         invest primarily in other limited partnerships ("Local Partnerships")
         which own and operate multifamily housing complexes that are eligible
         for low income housing tax credits. ("Tax Credits").  The general
         partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner") is National
         Partnership Investments Corp. ("NAPICO"), a California corporation.
         The special limited partner of the Partnership (the "Special Limited
         Partner") is PaineWebber TC Partners, L.P., a Virginia limited
         partnership.

         The Partnership offered up to 100,000 units of limited partnership
         interests ("Units") at $1,000 per Unit.  The offering terminated on
         April 22, 1992, at which date a total of 72,404 Units had been sold
         amounting to $72,404,000 in capital contributions.  Offering expenses
         of $9,412,868 were incurred in connection with the sale of such
         limited partner interests.

         The General Partner has a one percent interest in operating profits
         and losses of the Partnership.  The limited partners will be allocated
         the remaining 99 percent interest in proportion to their respective
         investments.

         The Partnership shall continue in full force and in effect until
         December 31, 2030 unless terminated  earlier pursuant to the terms of
         its Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (a
         "Partnership Agreement") or operation of law.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
         expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)

         METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

         The Partnership's investment in Local Partnerships are accounted for
         on the equity method.  Acquisition, selection and other costs related
         to the Partnership's investments are capitalized and are being
         amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated lives of the
         underlying assets, which is generally 30 years.  Acquisition,
         selection and other costs related to Local Partnerships for which the
         Partnership has not consummated its investment, have been expensed
         currently.

         NET LOSS PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

         Net loss per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the
         limited partners' share of net loss by the weighted average number of
         limited partnership interests outstanding during the year.  The
         weighted average number of limited partner interests was 72,404 for
         the periods presented.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         The Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
         with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

         INCOME TAXES

         No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying
         financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the responsibility
         of the individual partners.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

         The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 37 local
         partnerships (the "Local Partnerships").  As a limited partner of the
         Local Partnerships, the Partnership does not have authority over
         day-to-day management of the Local Partnerships or their properties
         (the "Apartment Complexes").  The general partners responsible for
         management of the Local Partnerships (the "Local Operating General
         Partners") are not affiliated with the General Partner of the
         Partnership, except as discussed below.

         At June 30, 1996, the Local Partnerships own residential projects
         consisting of 3,715 apartment units.

         The Partnership, as a limited partner, is generally entitled to 99
         percent of the operating profits and losses of the Local Partnerships.
         National Tax Credit, Inc. II ("NTC-II") an affiliate of the General
         Partner, serves either as a special limited partner or non-managing
         administrative general partner in which case it receives .01 percent
         of operating profits and losses of the Local Partnership, or as the
         Local Operating General Partner of the Local Partnership in which case
         it is entitled to .09 percent of the operating profits and losses of
         the Local Partnership.  The Partnership is generally entitled to
         receive 50 percent of the net cash flow generated by the Apartment
         Complexes, subject to repayment of any loans made to the Local
         Partnerships (including loans made by NTC-II or an affiliate),
         repayment for funding of development deficit and operating deficit
         guarantees by the Local Operating General Partners or their affiliates
         (excluding NTC-II and its affiliates), and certain priority payments
         to the Local Operating General Partners other than NTC-II or its
         affiliates.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)

         The Partnership's allocable share of losses from Local Partnerships
         are recognized in the financial statements until the related
         investment account is reduced to a zero balance.  Losses incurred
         after the investment account is reduced to zero will not be
         recognized.

         Distributions received by the Partnership from the Local Partnerships
         are accounted for as a return of capital until the investment balance
         is reduced to zero or to a negative amount equal to further capital
         contributions required.  Subsequent distributions received will be
         recognized as income.

         The following is a summary of the investments in Local Partnerships as
         of June 30, 1996:

NOTE 3 - RESTRICTED CASH

         Restricted cash represents funds in escrow to be used, to fund
         operating deficits, if any, of one of the Local Partnership, as
         defined in the Local Partnership Agreement.

NOTE 4 - CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE

         Capital contributions payable represent amounts which are due at
         various times based on conditions specified in the respective Local
         Partnership agreements.  The capital contributions payable unsecured
         and non-interest bearing.  These amounts are generally due upon the
         Local Partnership achieving certain operating or financing benchmarks
         and are expected to be paid generally within three years of the
         Partnership's original investment date.

NOTE 5 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Under the terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
         obligated to the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner for
         the following fees:

                                 JUNE 30, 1996

NOTE 5 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

         (a)     An annual Partnership management fee in an amount equal to 0.5
                 percent of invested assets (as defined in the Partnership
                 Agreement) is payable to the General Partner and Special
                 Limited Partner.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
                 1995, approximately $382,000 has been expensed.  The unpaid
                 balance at June 30, 1996 is approximately $979,000.

         (b)     A property disposition fee is payable to the General Partner
                 in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of the
                 competitive real estate commission that would have been
                 charged by unaffiliated third parties providing comparable
                 services in the area where the apartment complex is located,
                 or (ii) 3 percent of the sale price received in connection
                 with the sale or disposition of the apartment complex or local
                 partnership interest, but in no event will the property
                 disposition fee and all amounts payable to affiliated real
                 estate brokers in connection with any such sale exceed in the
                 aggregate, the lesser of the competitive rate (as described
                 above) or 6 percent of such sale price.  Receipt of the
                 property disposition fee will be subordinated to the
                 distribution of sale or refinancing proceeds by the
                 Partnership until the limited partners have proceeds in an
                 aggregate amount equal to (i) their 6 percent priority return
                 for any year not theretofore satisfied (as defined in the
                 Partnership Agreement) and (ii) an amount equal to the
                 aggregate adjusted investment (as defined in the Partnership
                 Agreement) of the limited partners.  No disposition fees have
                 been paid.

         (c)     The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses.  The
                 reimbursement paid to NAPICO was approximately $19,000 for the
                 six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and is included in
                 general and administrative expenses.

         NTC II is the Local Operating General Partner in four of the
         Partnership's 37 Local Partnerships.  In addition, NTC II is either a
         special limited partner or an administrative general partner in the
         other Local Partnerships.

         An affiliate of the General Partner is currently managing four
         properties owned by Local Partnerships.  Local Partnerships pay the
         affiliate property management fees in the amount of 5 percent of their
         gross rental revenues.  The amounts paid were $31,375 and $58,600 for
         the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

         The General Partner of the Partnership is a plaintiff in various
         lawsuits and has also been named a defendant in other lawsuits arising
         from transactions in the ordinary course of business.  In addition,
         the Partnership was involved in the following lawsuit.  In the opinion
         of management and the General Partner, the claims will not result in
         any material liability to the Partnership.

         Michigan Beach/City of Chicago Litigation.  The City of Chicago (the
         "City") filed a complaint against the Michigan Beach Local Partnership
         and others in an action know as The City of Chicago v. Michigan Beach
         Housing Cooperative, et al., No. 91 CH 5558 (the "Litigation").  The
         complaint alleged, among other things, that Michigan Beach is in
         default on a junior mortgage held by the City and that the prior
         owners of Michigan Beach fraudulently induced the City to enter into
         the second mortgage.  The complaint also alleged that Michigan Beach's
         acquisition of the property was a fraudulent conveyance, and that,
         accordingly, the City can look to the property to satisfy any judgment
         it may get on its fraud claim against the prior owner.  The court
         granted summary judgment against the City

         on all counts by order dated January 26, 1996.  The City filed a
         notice of appeal.  NTCI intends to vigorously defend the appeal.  It
         is not possible, however, to predict the outcome of the Litigation.
         The Partnership's investment in Michigan Beach is approximately
         $1,686,000 at June 30, 1996.  The Partnership also has a counterclaim
         against the City, which remains pending, for the City's refusal to
         consent to the refinancing of the Michigan Beach property.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about
         Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair
         value information about financial instruments, when it is practicable
         to estimate that value.  The operations generated by the investee
         limited partnerships, which  accounts for the Partnership's primary
         source of revenues, are subject to various government rules,
         regulations and restrictions which make it impracticable to estimate
         the fair value of  the accrued fees due to partners.  The carrying
         amount of other assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheets
         that require such disclosure approximates fair value due to their
         short-term maturity.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

         The Partnership raised $72,404,000 from investors by a public
         offering.  The Partnership's public offering ended April 22, 1992.
         The proceeds have been used to invest in Local Partnerships which own
         and operate Apartment Complexes that are eligible for Tax Credits.

         It is not expected that any of the Local Partnerships in which the
         Partnership invests will generate cash from operations sufficient to
         provide distributions to the Limited Partners in any material amount.
         Such cash from operations, if any, would first be used to meet
         operating expenses of the Partnership.  The Partnership's investments
         will not be readily marketable and may be affected by adverse general
         economic conditions which, in turn, could substantially increase the
         risk of operating losses for the Apartment Complexes, the Local
         Partnerships and the Partnership.  These problems may result from a
         number of factors, many of which cannot be controlled by the General
         Partner.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         In general, in order to avoid recapture of Housing Tax Credits, the
         Partnership does not expect that it will dispose of its Local
         Partnership Interests or approve the sale by a Local Partnership of
         any Apartment Complex prior to the end of the applicable 15-year
         Compliance Period.  Because of (i) the nature of the Apartment
         Complexes, (ii) the difficulty of predicting the resale market for
         low-income housing 15 or more years in the future, and (iii) the
         inability of the Partnership to directly cause the sale of Apartment
         Complexes by local general partners, but generally only to require
         such local general partners to use their respective best efforts to
         find a purchaser for the Apartment Complexes, it is not possible at
         this time to predict whether the liquidation of substantially all of
         the Partnership's assets and the disposition of the proceeds, if any,
         in accordance with the partnership agreement will be able to be
         accomplished promptly at the end of the 15-year period.  If a Local
         Partnership is unable to sell an Apartment Complex, it is anticipated
         that the local general partner will either continue to operate such
         Apartment Complex or take such other actions as the local general
         partner believes to be in the best interest of the Local Partnership.
         In addition, circumstances beyond the control of the General Partner
         may occur during the Compliance Period which would require the
         Partnership to approve the disposition of an Apartment Complex prior
         to the end of the Compliance Period.

         Except for interim investments in highly liquid debt investments, the
         Partnership's investments are entirely interests in other Local
         Partnerships owning Apartment Complexes.  Funds temporarily not
         required for such investments in projects are invested in these highly
         liquid debt investments earning interest income as reflected in the
         statements of operations.  These interim investments can be easily
         converted to cash to meet obligations as they arise.

         The Partnership, as a Limited Partner in the Local Partnerships in
         which it has invested, is subject to the risks incident to the
         construction, management, and ownership of improved real estate.  The
         Partnership investments are also subject to adverse general economic
         conditions, and accordingly, the status of the national economy,
         including substantial unemployment and concurrent inflation, could
         increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and operating
         expenses, which in turn, could substantially increase the risk of
         operating losses for the Apartment Complexes.

         The Partnership accounts for its investments in the Local Partnerships
         on the equity method, thereby adjusting its investment balance by its
         proportionate share of the income or loss of the Local Partnerships.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Distributions received from limited partnerships are recognized as
         return of capital until the investment balance has been reduced to
         zero or to a negative amount equal to future capital contributions
         required.  Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income.

         The Partnership's income consists primarily of interest income earned
         on certificates of deposit and other temporary investment of funds not
         required for investment in Local Partnerships.

         Operating expenses consist primarily of recurring general and
         administrative expenses and professional fees for services rendered to
         the Partnership.  In addition, an annual partnership management fee in
         an amount equal to 0.5 percent of invested assets is payable to the
         General Partner and Special Limited Partner.  The management fee
         represents the annual recurring fee which will be paid to the partners
         for their continuing management of Partnership affairs.

         The Palms Springs View property, a 119-unit apartment complex located
         in Palm Springs, California, operated at a deficit of approximately
         $203,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The deficit has been
         attributable to a soft local rental market and high leverage.  The
         property is encumbered by a mortgage note insured by the United States
         Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which matures in
         August 2030.  The Local Partnership was in default on the monthly
         principal and interest installment payments during 1995.  In January
         1996, HUD paid to the lender a "partial payment of insurance claim",
         which modified the mortgage note, including a reduction of the
         interest rate and the creation of a second deed of trust to HUD with
         required payments restricted to a proportion of available property
         cash flow.  The completion of the partial payment of insurance claim,
         in addition to the application of reserve funds already held by the
         lender, served to cure the default.  The Local Operating General
         Partner of the Local Partnership anticipates that due to the reduction
         of the required monthly debt service payment, the property will attain
         breakeven operations during 1996.

         In December 1993, PSVA Joint Venture, was admitted as an additional
         limited partner of the Palm Springs Local Partnership by its
         acquisition of 49% of the existing limited partner's 99% ownership
         interest.  In exchange for the ownership interest, the additional
         limited partner originally agreed to invest $577,200, which was to be
         paid in seventy-eight installments of $7,400 per month.  In January
         1996, in conjunction with the partial payment of insurance claim, the
         additional limited partner made a lump-sum contribution of $150,000 in
         lieu of the payment of the twenty-four installments payable during
         1996 and 1997.

         The Parkwood Landing Local Partnership obtained permanent financing of
         $4,700,000 in October 1994, the proceeds of which were used to repay
         the then-outstanding construction loan in the amount of $6,386,000.
         The remaining outstanding loan balance was paid primarily with the
         Partnership's investment of the second and third capital contributions
         (approximately $1,200,000 and $400,000, respectively), with the
         remainder being funded by the Local Operating General Partner.
         Pursuant to a letter agreement dated October 13, 1994 between the
         Partnership and the  Local Operating General Partner, the third
         capital contribution was advanced in order to facilitate the funding
         of the permanent loan.  This capital contribution bears interest at
         the prime rate of plus 2% per annum, and the interest was to be due
         and payable upon the earlier of June 30, 1995 or the attainment of
         Rental Achievement.  In consideration of the Partnership's advance of
         the third capital contribution, the Local Operating General Partner
         agreed to redefine the benchmarks of the fourth and final capital
         contribution of $355,909 so as to be payable in two separate
         installments.  The final capital contribution shall now be payable in
         two installments: (a) $100,000 upon the attainment of breakeven

         in the letter agreement, and (b) $255,909 upon an additional three
         months of breakeven operations and 95% occupancy.  In addition, the
         management agent, which is an affiliate of the Local Operating General
         Partner, shall subordinate its property management fees in the event
         the project operates at a deficit during the guaranty period.  As of
         June 30, 1996, Rental Achievement has not been attained and the
         accrued interest on the capital contributions has not yet been paid.

         The Michigan Beach property, a 240-unit apartment complex located in
         Chicago, Illinois, operated at a deficit of approximately $215,000 for
         the year ended December 31, 1995.  The deficit has been attributable
         to a soft local rental market, high leverage and deferred maintenance.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of June 30, 1996, NTCI-II's General Partner was a plaintiff or a defendant
in several suits.  None of these suits were related to NTCI-II.

In addition, one of the Local Partnerships is involved in the following
lawsuit:

Michigan Beach/City of Chicago Litigation.  The City of Chicago (the "City")
filed a complaint against the Michigan Beach Local Partnership and others in an
action know as The City of Chicago v. Michigan Beach Housing Cooperative, et
al., No. 91 CH 5558 (the "Litigation").  The complaint alleged, among other
things, that Michigan Beach is in default on a junior mortgage held by the City
and that the prior owners of Michigan Beach fraudulently induced the City to
enter into the second mortgage.  The complaint also alleged that Michigan
Beach's acquisition of the property was a fraudulent conveyance, and that,
accordingly, the City can look to the property to satisfy any judgment it may
get on its fraud claim against the prior owner.  The Michigan Beach Local
Partnership filed a counterclaim against the City for interfering with the
Local Partnership's efforts to modify the first mortgage loan on the property.
The court granted summary judgment against the City on all counts of the City's
Complaint by order dated January 26, 1996.  The City filed a notice of appeal.
NTCI intends to vigorously defend the appeal.  The Local Partnership's
counterclaim is still pending.  It is not possible, however, to predict the
outcome of the Litigation.  The Partnership's investment in Michigan Beach is
estimated at $1,686,000 at June 30, 1996.
