Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of United Investors
Growth Properties II (the  "Partnership" or "Registrant")  have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial

been  included.  Operating  results for the three and nine month  periods  ended

expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. For further  information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  for the  fiscal  year  ended
December 31, 1999.

Apartments,  L.L.C.  and its  99.99%  owned  partnership,  Riverwalk  Apartments
Limited Partnership  ("Riverwalk").  The Partnership is the sole general partner
of Riverwalk and an  unaffiliated  individual is the sole limited  partner.  The
Partnership  is able to control the major  operating and  financial  policies of
Riverwalk.  As a result, the Partnership  consolidates its interest in these two
entities,  whereby  all  accounts  are  included in the  consolidated  financial
statements of the Partnership with all inter-entity  accounts being  eliminated.
The minority interest of the limited partner of Riverwalk is not material to the
Partnership.

Change in Accounting Principle

Effective  January 1, 1999, the Partnership  changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the cost of exterior painting and major landscaping.  The Partnership
believes that this accounting principle change is preferable because it provides
a better matching of expenses with the related benefit of the  expenditures  and
it is consistent with industry practice and the policies of the General Partner.
This  accounting  change was first  reported  during the fourth quarter of 1999.
Accordingly, net income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1999 has been restated to reflect the  accounting  change as if it were reported
during the first quarter of 1999.  This adjustment  decreased  income before the
cumulative  effect of the  accounting  change  for the nine month  period  ended
September  30, 1999 by  approximately  $13,000  ($0.62 per  limited  partnership
unit).  This  adjustment  decreased  income  for the three  month  period  ended
September 30, 1999 by approximately $4,000 ($0.19 per limited partnership unit).
The cumulative  effect  adjustment of  approximately  $46,000 ($2.20 per limited
partnership  unit) is the result of applying  retroactively  the  aforementioned
accounting  principle change and is included in income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The accounting  change will not have an affect on cash flow,
funds  available  for  distribution  or fees payable to the General  Partner and
affiliates.

Note B - Transfer of Control

Pursuant  to a series  of  transactions  which  closed  on  October  1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999,  Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia Properties Trust
merged into Apartment  Investment and Management Company  ("AIMCO"),  a publicly
traded real estate investment trust, with AIMCO being the surviving  corporation
(the "Insignia Merger").  As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership interest in
the General Partner.  The General Partner does not believe that this transaction
has had or will have a material  effect on the  affairs  and  operations  of the
Partnership.

Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership  activities.
The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  for payments to  affiliates  for property
management  services based on a percentage of revenue and for  reimbursement  of
certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

The following  payments were made to  affiliates of the General  Partner  during
each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

                                                                  2000      1999
                                                                  (in thousands)

 Property management fees (included in operating expenses)        $ 64      $ 65
 Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included in
   investment properties and general and administrative
   expenses)                                                        26        21

During the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  affiliates  of the
General  Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross  receipts from both of the
Registrant's  properties  as  compensation  for  providing  property  management
services.  The  Registrant  paid to such  affiliates  approximately  $64,000 and
$65,000, for management fees for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

An  affiliate  of the General  Partner  received  reimbursement  of  accountable
administrative  expenses amounting to approximately $26,000 and $21,000, for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

In addition to its  indirect  ownership of the general  partner  interest in the
Partnership,  AIMCO and its affiliates  currently own 2,535 limited  partnership
units in the Partnership  representing 12.27% of the outstanding units. A number
of these  units were  acquired  pursuant  to tender  offers made by AIMCO or its
affiliates.  It is possible that AIMCO or its  affiliates  will make one or more
additional offers to acquire  additional  limited  partnership  interests in the
Partnership  for cash or in exchange for units in the operating  partnership  of
AIMCO. Under the Partnership  Agreement,  unitholders  holding a majority of the
Units are  entitled to take action with  respect to a variety of matters,  which
would  include  without   limitation,   voting  on  certain  amendments  to  the
Partnership  Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner.  When voting on
matters,  AIMCO would in all  likelihood  vote the Units it acquired in a manner
favorable to the interest of the General  Partner  because of their  affiliation
with the General Partner.

Note D - Distributions

During the nine months ended  September  30,  2000,  the  Partnership  paid cash
distributions  of  approximately  $1,738,000  (approximately  $1,721,000  to the
limited partners or $83.30 per limited  partnership unit) of which approximately
$410,000  (approximately  $406,000 to the limited partners or $19.66 per limited
partnership unit)  represented cash from operations and  approximately  $289,000
(approximately   $286,000  to  the  limited   partners  or  $13.84  per  limited
partnership  unit)  represented  proceeds  from  the  refinancing  of  Riverwalk
Apartments  in  December  1999  and  approximately   $1,039,000   (approximately
$1,029,000  to the  limited  partners or $49.80 per  limited  partnership  unit)
represented   proceeds   from  the  sale  of  Riverwalk   Apartments.   No  cash
distributions  were made to the partners  during the nine months ended September
30, 1999.

Note E - Mortgage Refinancing

On December 29,  1999,  the  Partnership  refinanced  the  mortgage  encumbering
Riverwalk  Apartments.  The refinancing  replaced  indebtedness of approximately
$2,551,000  with a new  mortgage  in the  amount  of  $3,000,000.  The new  loan
required monthly principal and interest payments and was being amortized over 20
years. Total capitalized loan costs were  approximately  $47,000 during the year
ended  December  31,  1999.  The  Partnership  spent  approximately  $31,000  on
additional loan costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Note F - Sale of Investment Property

On August 31, 2000, Riverwalk Apartments, located in Houston, Texas, was sold to
an unaffiliated party for $4,350,000. After payment of closing expenses, the net
sales proceeds received by the Partnership were  approximately  $4,231,000.  The
Partnership  used a portion of the proceeds to pay off the mortgage  encumbering
the property of $2,958,000.  For financial statement purposes, the sale resulted
in a  gain  of  approximately  $907,000  and  an  extraordinary  loss  on  early
extinguishment of debt of approximately  $76,000  consisting of the write-off of
unamortized  loan  costs,  which was  recognized  during the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000. The sale  transaction  is summarized as follows  (amounts in
thousands):

            Net sales price, net of selling costs          $ 4,231
            Net real estate (1)                             (3,221)
            Net other liabilities                             (103)
            Gain on sale of real estate                     $  907

(1)  Real  estate at cost,  net of  accumulated  depreciation  of  approximately
     $1,295,000.

The following pro-forma  information  reflects the operations of the Partnership
for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,  as if  Riverwalk
Apartments had been sold January 1, 1999.

Note G - Segment Reporting

Description  of the types of products  and  services  from which the  reportable
segment  derives its  revenues:  The  Partnership  has one  reportable  segment:
residential property. The Registrant's  residential property segment consists of
one apartment  complex located in Overland Park,  Kansas.  The Partnership rents
apartment units to tenants for terms that are typically twelve months or less.

Measurement  of segment profit or loss: The  Partnership  evaluates  performance
based on segment profit (loss) before  depreciation.  The accounting policies of
the reportable  segment are the same as those of the Partnership as described in
the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  for the  fiscal  year  ended
December 31, 1999.

Factors  management used to identify the enterprise's  reportable  segment:  The
Partnership's  reportable  segment consists of investment  properties that offer
similar  products and services.  Although each of the  investment  properties is
managed  separately,  they have been aggregated into one segment as they provide
services with similar types of products and customers.

Segment  information  for the three and nine month periods  ended  September 30,
2000 and 1999 is shown in the tables below (in  thousands).  The "Other"  column
includes  Partnership  administration  related  items and income and expense not
allocated to reportable segments.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The  matters  discussed  in this Form  10-QSB  contain  certain  forward-looking
statements  and  involve  risks and  uncertainties  (including  changing  market
conditions,   competitive  and  regulatory   matters,   etc.)  detailed  in  the
disclosures  contained  in this  Form  10-QSB  and the  other  filings  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Registrant from time to time. The
discussion of the  Registrant's  business and results of  operations,  including
forward-looking  statements  pertaining  to such  matters,  does not  take  into
account the effects of any changes to the  Registrant's  business and results of
operation.  Accordingly,  actual  results  could  differ  materially  from those
projected in the forward-looking  statements as a result of a number of factors,
including those identified herein.

The Partnership's  investment  property consists of one apartment  complex.  The
following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for each of the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

                                                  Average Occupancy

      Stone Ridge Apartments                        96%        97%
         Overland Park, Kansas

Results of Operations

The  Registrant's  net income for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 was
approximately  $785,000 as compared to net income of approximately  $100,000 (as
restated) for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999.  The  Registrant's  net
income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was approximately  $748,000
as compared to net income of  approximately  $10,000 (as restated) for the three
months ended  September 30, 1999.  The increase in net income for the nine month
period  ended  September  30, 2000 is primarily  attributable  to an increase in
total revenues resulting from the gain on sale of Riverwalk Apartments in August
2000, as discussed  below,  partially  offset by the  extraordinary  loss on the
early  extinguishment of debt of Riverwalk  Apartments and the cumulative effect
on prior years of a change in accounting  principle  recognized  during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, as discussed  below. The increase in net income
for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 is primarily attributable to
an  increase  in total  revenues  resulting  from the gain on sale of  Riverwalk
Apartments  in  August  2000,  as  discussed  below,  partially  offset  by  the
extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt of Riverwalk Apartments.

Excluding  the  operations,  gain on  sale,  and  extraordinary  loss  on  early
extinguishment  of debt of Riverwalk  Apartments  and the  cumulative  effect on
prior years of a change in accounting  principle,  the Partnership had income of
approximately  $15,000  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and
approximately $3,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Excluding the
operations, gain on sale, and extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt
of Riverwalk Apartments,  the Partnership had income of approximately $2,000 for
the three  month  period  ended  September  30,  2000  compared to a net loss of
approximately $7,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1999. Income
increased  for the nine month period ended  September  30, 2000  compared to the
nine month period ended  September 30, 1999 due to an increase in total revenues
partially  offset by an increase in total  expenses.  Income  increased  for the
three month period ended  September  30, 2000 compared to the three month period
ended  September 30, 1999 due to an increase in total revenues and a decrease in
total  expenses.  Total revenues  increased for the three and nine month periods
ended  September  30, 2000 due to an increase in rental income and other income.
Rental income  increased as a result of an average rental rate increase at Stone
Ridge Apartments which more than offset the slight decrease in occupancy.  Other
income  increased  primarily  due  to an  increase  in  interest  income  due to
increased cash balances in interest-bearing accounts.

Total expenses  increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 primarily
due to increased  depreciation  and property tax expenses  which were  partially
offset by decreased  operating expense and general and  administrative  expense.
Total  expenses  decreased for the three month period ended  September 30, 2000,
primarily  due to  decreased  operating  expense and general and  administrative
expense  which is partially  offset by increased  depreciation  and property tax
expenses.  Depreciation  expense  increased for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2000 due to property improvements and replacements completed
during the past twelve months.  Property tax expense increased for the three and
nine month  period ended  September  30, 2000 due to an increase in the assessed
value of Stone Ridge Apartments.  Operating expenses decreased for the three and
nine  month  periods  ended  September  30,  2000 due to a  decrease  in payroll
expenses.  General and administrative  expenses decreased for the three and nine
month periods ended  September 30, 2000 due to decreased  legal  expenses due to
the  settlement  of a legal case  during  1999,  partially  offset by  increased
professional  expenses  associated with the management of the Partnership and an
increase in the cost of services  included in the management  reimbursements  to
the General  Partner as allowed  under the  Partnership  Agreement.  Included in
general and  administrative  expenses at both  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  are
reimbursements  to the General Partner  allowed under the Partnership  Agreement
associated  with its management of the  Partnership.  Costs  associated with the
quarterly and annual  communications  with investors and regulatory agencies and
the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement are also included.

On August 31, 2000, Riverwalk Apartments, located in Houston, Texas, was sold to
an unaffiliated party for $4,350,000. After payment of closing expenses, the net
sales proceeds  received by the Partnership was  approximately  $4,231,000.  The
Partnership  used a portion of the proceeds to pay off the mortgage  encumbering
the property of  $2,958,000.  The  remaining  proceeds were  distributed  to the
partners in September 2000. For financial statement purposes,  the sale resulted
in  a  gain  of  approximately   $907,000.  The  Partnership  also  recorded  an
extraordinary loss on early  extinguishment of debt of approximately  $76,000 as
the result of the write-off of the remaining unamortized loan costs.

Effective  January 1, 1999, the Partnership  changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the cost of exterior painting and major landscaping.  The Partnership
believes that this accounting principle change is preferable because it provides
a better matching of expenses with the related benefit of the  expenditures  and
it is consistent with industry practice and the policies of the General Partner.
This  accounting  change was first  reported  during the fourth quarter of 1999.
Accordingly, net income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1999 has been restated to reflect the  accounting  change as if it were reported
during the first quarter of 1999.  This adjustment  decreased  income before the
cumulative  effect of the  accounting  change  for the nine month  period  ended
September  30, 1999 by  approximately  $13,000  ($0.62 per  limited  partnership
unit).  This  adjustment  decreased  income  for the three  month  period  ended
September 30, 1999 by approximately $4,000 ($0.19 per limited partnership unit).
The cumulative  effect  adjustment of  approximately  $46,000 ($2.20 per limited
partnership  unit) is the result of applying  retroactively  the  aforementioned
accounting  principle change and is included in income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The accounting  change will not have an affect on cash flow,
funds  available  for  distribution  or fees payable to the General  Partner and
affiliates.

As part of the ongoing  business plan of the  Partnership,  the General  Partner
monitors the rental market  environment of its  investment  properties to assess
the feasibility of increasing rents,  maintaining or increasing occupancy levels
and protecting the Partnership from increases in expense.  As part of this plan,
the  General  Partner  attempts to protect  the  Partnership  from the burden of
inflation-related  increases in expenses by increasing  rents and  maintaining a
high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions,  which
can  result in the use of rental  concessions  and rental  reductions  to offset
softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will
be able to sustain such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At  September  30,  2000,  the  Registrant  had  cash and  cash  equivalents  of
approximately  $338,000 as compared to  approximately  $397,000 at September 30,
1999. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately  $310,000 since
December 31, 1999, is due to approximately  $4,797,000 of cash used in financing
activities,  which was  partially  offset by  approximately  $4,157,000  of cash
provided by investing activities and approximately  $330,000 of cash provided by
operating   activities.   Cash  used  in  financing   activities   consisted  of
distributions  to  partners,   payments  of  principal  made  on  the  mortgages
encumbering the Registrant's properties,  the payoff of the mortgage encumbering
Riverwalk Apartments,  and the payment of loan costs. Cash provided by investing
activities  consisted of proceeds from the sale of Riverwalk  Apartments and net
receipts from escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage lender partially offset
by property  improvements and replacements.  The Partnership invests its working
capital reserves in money market accounts.

The sufficiency of existing  liquid assets to meet future  liquidity and capital
expenditure   requirements   is  directly   related  to  the  level  of  capital
expenditures  required at the  properties  to  adequately  maintain the physical
assets and other  operating  needs of the Registrant and to comply with Federal,
state and local legal and regulatory requirements.  Capital improvements planned
for each of the Registrant's properties are detailed below.

Riverwalk Apartments

Riverwalk Apartments spent approximately $53,000 on capital improvements for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000. These improvements  consisted primarily of
lighting  upgrades,  cabinet and countertop  replacements,  carpet  replacement,
structural  improvements,  and office equipment.  These improvements were funded
from operating cash flow. The property was sold on August 31, 2000.

Stone Ridge Apartments

Stone Ridge Apartments spent approximately  $44,000 on capital  improvements for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000. These improvements consisted primarily
of carpet replacements,  submetering improvements,  and structural improvements.
These  improvements  were  funded  from  operating  cash  flow  and  Partnership
reserves.  The  Partnership has evaluated the capital  improvement  needs of the
property  for the year  2000.  The amount  budgeted  is  approximately  $61,000,
consisting primarily of air conditioning unit replacement,  carpet replacements,
and plumbing upgrades. Additional improvements may be considered and will depend
on the physical  condition of the property as well as  replacement  reserves and
anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

The additional  capital  expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available
from operations or from Partnership  reserves.  To the extent that such budgeted
capital improvements are completed, the Registrant's distributable cash flow, if
any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

The  Registrant's  current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term
needs  (exclusive  of capital  improvements)  of the  Registrant.  The  mortgage
indebtedness for Stone Ridge of approximately  $3,204,000 matures on December 1,
2004.  The General  Partner will attempt to refinance such  indebtedness  and/or
sell  the  property  prior to its  maturity  date.  If the  property  cannot  be
refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Registrant will risk losing such
property through foreclosure.

During the nine months ended  September  30,  2000,  the  Partnership  paid cash
distributions  of  approximately  $1,738,000  (approximately  $1,721,000  to the
limited partners or $83.30 per limited  partnership unit) of which approximately
$410,000  (approximately  $406,000 to the limited partners or $19.66 per limited
partnership unit)  represented cash from operations and  approximately  $289,000
(approximately   $286,000  to  the  limited   partners  or  $13.84  per  limited
partnership  unit)  represented  proceeds  from  the  refinancing  of  Riverwalk
Apartments  in  December  1999  and  approximately   $1,039,000   (approximately
$1,029,000  to the  limited  partners or $49.80 per  limited  partnership  unit)
represented   proceeds   from  the  sale  of  Riverwalk   Apartments.   No  cash
distributions  were made to the partners  during the nine months ended September
30,  1999.  Future  cash  distributions  will  depend on the  levels of net cash
generated from operations,  the availability of cash reserves, and the timing of
debt   maturities,   refinancings   and/or  property  sales.   The  Registrant's
distribution  policy is reviewed on an annual basis.  There can be no assurance,
however,  that the Partnership  will generate  sufficient  funds from operations
after required capital  improvements to permit  additional  distributions to its
partners during the remainder of 2000 or subsequent periods.
