                RENAISSANCE CAPITAL PARTNERS II, LTD.

                    Notes to Financial Statements

                            June 30, 1998

                             (Unaudited)
                                   
1. Organization and Business Purpose

  Renaissance Capital Partners II, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Texas limited
  partnership, was formed on January 14, 1991. The Partnership seeks to
  achieve current income and capital appreciation principally by making
  direct investments primarily in private placement convertible debt secur-
  ities of small- to medium-size public companies.  

  The Partnership elected to be treated as a business development company
  under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Partnership will
  terminate upon liquidation of all of its investments, but no later than
  eight years from the final closing of the sale of units, subject to the
  right of the Independent General Partners to extend the term for up to two
  additional one-year periods if they determine that such extension is in the
  best interest of the Partnership.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   A. Cash and Cash Equivalents - for purposes of the statements of cash
      flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in checking and
      savings accounts and all instruments on hand with original
      maturities of three months or less.  The Partnership paid no
      interest for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

   B. Federal Income Taxes - no provision has been made for federal
      income taxes as any liability for such taxes is that of the
      partners rather than the Partnership.

   C. Net Income(Loss) Per Limited Partnership Unit - net income(loss) per
      limited partnership unit is based on the weighted average of the lim-
      ited partnership units outstanding during the period and net income(loss)
      allocated to the limited partners.

   D. Management Estimates - the financial statements have been
      prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
      principles.  The preparation of the accompanying financial
      statements requires estimates and assumptions made by management
      of the Partnership that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities as of the date of the statements of assets,
      liabilities and partners' equity and income and expenses for the
      periods presented.  Actual results could differ significantly from those
      estimates.

   E. Interest Income - interest income is accrued on all debt
      securities owned by the partnership on a quarterly basis.  When
      it is determined that the interest accrued will not be collected,
      the income for that period is reduced to reflect the estimated
      interest expected to be collected during the period.

   F. Financial Instruments - In accordance with the reporting requirements of 
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
      Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company calculates the fair
      value of its financial instruments and includes this additional infor-
      mation in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is
      different than the carrying value of those financial instruments.  When
      the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no additional
      disclosure is made.

3. Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without audit,
   in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
   Exchange Commission and do not include all disclosures normally required
   by generally accepted accounting principles or those normally made in
   annual reports on Form 10-K.  All material adjustments, consisting only
   of those of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of
   management, were necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
   interim periods have been made.

6.  Investments

  Investments of the Partnership are carried in the statements of assets,
  liabilities and partners' equity at quoted market or fair value, as
  determined in good faith by the Managing General Partner and approved by
  the Independent General Partners.

  For securities that are publicly traded and for which quotations are
  available, the Partnership will value the investments based on the closing
  sale as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, or in the event of an
  interim valuation, as of the date of the valuation.  If no sale is reported
  on such date, the securities will be valued at the average of the closing
  bid and asked prices.

  Generally debt securities will be valued at their face value. 
  However, if the debt is impaired, an appropriate valuation reserve will be
  established or the investment discounted to estimated realizable value. 
  Conversely, if the underlying stock has appreciated in value and the
  conversion feature justifies a premium value, such premium will of
  necessity be recognized.

  The Managing General Partner, subject to the approval and supervision of
  the Independent General Partners, will be responsible for determining fair
  value.

  The financial statements include securities of publicly-held companies valued
  at $12,829,070 (88% of total assets) and $15,238,811 (93% of total assets)
  as of December 31, 1997, and June 30, 1998, respectively, whose values have
  been estimated by the Managing General Partner and approved by the Independ-
  ent General Partners in the absence of readily ascertainable market values.
  Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values
  may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a
  ready market for the investments existed and the difference could be material.

The fair value of debt securities convertible into common stock is the sum of
(a) the value of such securities without regard to the conversion feature, and
(b) the value, if any, of the conversion feature.  The fair value of debt
securities without regard to conversion features is determined on the basis
of the terms of the debt security, the interest yield and the financial condi-
tion of the issuer.  The fair value of the conversion features of a security,
if any, are based on fair values as of this date less an allowance, as appro-
priate, for costs of registration, if any, and selling expenses.  Publicly
traded securities, or securities that are convertible into publicly traded
securities, are valued at the last sale price, or at the average closing bid
and asked price, as of the valuation date.  While these valuations are be-
lieved to represent fair value, these values do not necessarily reflect
amounts which may be ultimately realized upon disposition of such securities.

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

(1) Material Changes in Financial Condition

       For the second quarter ended June 30, 1998, total Partners' Equity
decreased $6,663,272 due to lowered valuations of the Partnership's portfolio
assets as discussed below.

       The following portfolio transactions are noted for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998 (portfolio companies are herein referred to as the "Company"):

  Coded Communications, Inc.  The Partnership has provided valuation reserves
totalling $4,340,244 on this investment, due to the Company's continuing
struggles in obtaining working capital. 

  Consolidated Healthcare Associates, Inc.  In April 1998, the Company
remitted $129,057 to the Partnership for repayment of debts outstanding. 
Pursuant to the Partnership's Participation Agreement with Duncan Smith
Company ("DSC"), the Partnership remitted $65,694.52 to DSC constituting
repayment of the $65,000 principal amount advanced to the Partnership by DSC,
together with interest thereon of $694.52.  The Partnership applied the
remaining $63,362.48 to the principal balance of the February 1, 1998
Promissory Note.  At June 30, 1998, the Company owed $1,119,938 on the 8%
Promissory Note dated February 1, 1998, and also owed the Partnership $63,000
on the 15% Promissory Note dated March 6, 1998.  The Partnership has provided
a valuation reserve of $419,938 on the February note and a $2,320,984
valuation reserve on its investment in the Company's preferred and common
stock.

  Scientific Software, Inc.  The Company has entered into a Definitive
Agreement to sell all of its outstanding shares to Baker Hughes, Inc. for $.44
per share.  As part of this agreement, the Partnership has agreed to exchange 
its $1,500,000 Promissory Note owed by the Company for a $1,300,000 6%
Promissory Note from Baker Hughes due June, 1999.  The Definitive Agreement
has been announced, and is subject to approval by a majority of the Company's
shareholders at their annual meeting on July 30, 1998.

  Total Choice, Inc.  The Partnership has provided a valuation reserve of
$800,000, or 80%, on this investment.

  Tricom Corporation.   Effective May 28, 1998, the Partnership entered into
an agreement with the Company whereby the Partnership converted its Preferred
Stock having a cost basis of $2,153,600 into 538,400 shares of the Company's
common stock, bringing the Partnership's total ownership interest to 26.7%,
and the Company agreed to pay the Partnership $150,000 plus a non-interest-
bearing Promissory Note for $50,000 due December 31, 1999.  In addition, the
Company agreed to expand its Board to allow for a Partnership representative
and to reduce the salary of Art Truckenbrodt, the Company's President and
Chief Officer, to $70,000.  By June 30, 1998, $75,000 had been received from
the Company, and subsequent to June 30, 1998 an additional $50,000 was
received from the Company.  The Partnership has provided a valuation reserve
of $2,103,600 on its investment in the Company's common stock.

  Tutogen Medical, Inc.  Through June 30, 1998, the Company paid its interest
obligation on the $2,074,081 Debenture by issuing 57,688 shares of common
stock at $1.25 per share, and paid its interest obligation on the $500,000
Debenture by issuing 8,219 shares of common stock at $1.35 per share.  On June
30, 1998, the Partnership purchased 3,000 shares of the Company's common stock
in the open market for $7,180.

(2) Material Changes in Operations

       The Partnership currently is not actively considering additional
Portfolio Investments.  Therefore, no significant further amount of income
from closing fees and commitment fees is anticipated.

       For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership recorded a loss of
$6,636,828, which loss resulted primarily from lowered valuations of the
Partnership's portfolio assets.  Interest income continued to decline as a
result of not accruing certain past-due payments from Portfolio companies
because the likelihood of receiving such payments appears to be in question. 
In addition, income has declined in the past as a result of payment defaults
and as the Partnership has converted Debentures into common and preferred
stock that traditionally have lower current yields in comparison to
debentures.

  Portfolio Investments still held as Debentures require interest payments
generally on either a monthly or quarterly basis.  At June 30, 1998, the
following Companies are in arrears on interest payments:  Consolidated
HealthCare Associates, Inc. is in arrears on interest payments owed to the
Partnership in the aggregate amount of $48,162; Scientific Software, Inc.
is in arrears on interest payments owed to the Partnership in the aggregate
amount of $122,548; and Tutogen Medical, Inc. is in arrears on interest
payments owed to the Partnership in the aggregate amount of $47,772.
