NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

      Cypress Equipment Fund II, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Florida
limited partnership, was formed November 13, 1991, for the purpose
of acquiring and leasing transportation, manufacturing, industrial
and other capital equipment.  The Partnership was funded with
limited partner capital contributions and commenced operations on
June 22, 1992.  The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2015,
or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership
Agreement.  The Partnership has received Limited and General Partner
capital contributions of $36,469,000 and $2,000, respectively.

      Cypress Equipment Management Corporation II, a California
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cypress Leasing
Corporation, is the Managing General Partner; RJ Leasing - 2, Inc.,
a Florida corporation and a second-tier subsidiary of Raymond James
Financial, Inc., is the Administrative General Partner; and Raymond
James Partners, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc., is the other General
Partner.

      Cash distributions, subject to payment of the equipment
management fees, and profits and losses of the Partnership shall be

distributions equal to his capital contributions, an incentive
management fee equaling 4% of cash available for distributions will
be paid to the General Partners.  When each Limited Partner has
received cumulative cash distributions equal to his capital
contributions plus an amount equal to 8% of adjusted capital
contributions per annum, an incentive management fee equaling 23% of
cash available for distributions will be paid to the General
Partners.

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

  Results of Operations

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared to Six Months Ended
  June 30, 1995

      Rental income increased from $3,338,229 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, to $3,954,072 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  An increase of $1,621,000 in revenues resulted from the
purchase of equipment with leases in place during the intervening
period.  This was offset by a $1,005,000 decrease in revenues from
leases that were terminated or equipment that was sold during the
intervening period.  Interest income decreased for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 1995, because the Partnership
had a lower average balance of cash available for investment.

      Interest expense increased from $228,484 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, to $563,185 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  This increase primarily resulted from a higher average level
of debt during the period.  Management fee expense was about the
same for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 1995,
due to the calculations of two leases being based on the cash
received by the Partnership instead of the revenue recognized by the
Partnership.  Depreciation expense increased for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 versus 1995, because the Partnership had a
higher depreciable basis of equipment due to new lease commitments.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1996, equipment with an
original cost of $3,472,764 was sold for $4,954,863, resulting in a
gain on sale of $1,669,150.            .

      The net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted
in a net income of $2,736,200 for the six months ended June 30,
1996, compared to $1,444,925 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership
incurred $6,278,197 of additional borrowing and principal payments
of $4,180,714 were made on notes. 

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared to Three Months Ended
  June 30, 1995

      Rental income increased from $1,715,423 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, to $1,953,331 for the three months ended June
30, 1996.  An increase of $678,000 in revenues resulted from the
purchase of equipment with leases in place in the intervening
period.  This was offset by a $399,000 decrease in revenues from
leases that were terminated or equipment that was sold during the
intervening period and a $41,000 decrease in revenues due to reduced
re-lease rates.  Interest income decreased for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 1995, because the Partnership
had a lower average balance of cash available for investment.

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

  Results of Operations (Continued)

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared to Three Months Ended
  June 30, 1995

      Interest expense increased from $136,848 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, to $324,114 for the three months ended June 30,
1996.  This increase resulted from a higher average level of debt
during the period.  Management fee expense was higher for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 1995 because of an
increase in revenues.  Depreciation expense increased for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 versus 1995, because the Partnership had
a higher depreciable basis of equipment due to purchases.

      During the three months ended June 30, 1996, equipment with an
original cost of $3,333,491 was sold for $4,807,250, resulting in a
gain on sale of $1,660,204.

      The net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted
in a net income of $2,051,343 for the three months ended June 30,
1996, compared to $688,313 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

      During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership
incurred $1,378,197 of additional borrowing and made $3,081,600 of
principal payments on notes.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Short-term liquidity requirements consist of funds needed to
make cash distributions to limited and general partners and meet
commitments for investments in equipment, administrative expenses,
and debt retirement.  These short-term needs will be funded by Cash
and Cash Equivalents at June 30, 1996, anticipated future
borrowings, and future rental income, interest income, and sales
proceeds.

       For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership had
a net income of $2,736,200.  After adjusting net income during this
period for depreciation and amortization, gain on sale, and the
changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash provided by
operating activities was $8,138,336.  Cash provided by investing
activities consisted primarily of sales proceeds of $289,500.  Cash
used in investing activities was $3,505,807 for an escrow deposit
and $2,678,918 for the purchase of equipment.  Cash provided by
financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from notes
payable in the amount of $6,278,197.  Cash used in financing
activities was $4,180,714 in payment of notes payable and to pay

cash distributions to limited and general partners of $1,841,866. 
In total, during the six months ending June 30, 1996, Cash and Cash
Equivalents increased $2,474,411 from operating activities,
investing activities and financing activities, resulting in an
ending Cash and Cash Equivalent balance as of June 30, 1996, of
$5,661,149.

      In the opinion of the General Partners, the Partnership will
have, through Cash and Cash Equivalents at June 30, 1996, and
through future rental income, interest income,  and equipment sales
proceeds, sufficient funds to remain liquid for the foreseeable
future.  The General Partners are not aware of any trends that could
adversely affect the Partnership's liquidity or the ability to meet
near-term obligations.
