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

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.

Under  the  terms  of the agreement $3,600,000 of this balance  matures  in

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

Nine  Months  Ended  September  30, 1998, Compared  to  Nine  Months  Ended
September 30, 1997

     Rental income of $3,947,619 plus Income from Direct Financing Lease of
$102,703 for a total of $4,050,322 for the nine months ended September  30,
1998  was  comparable to rental income of $4,427,409 for  the  nine  months
ended September 30, 1997.  Interest income was also comparable for the nine
months  ended  September 30, 1998, as compared to 1997.   During  the  nine
months  ended September 30, 1997, equipment held for sale with an  original
cost  of  $36,137  was sold for $36,500 resulting in  a  gain  on  sale  of
$16,458.  During the same period an option was exercised with a total  cost
of  $1,338,217 and was sold for a net of $1,886,805 resulting in a gain  on
sale  of  $548,588.   During  the nine months  ended  September  30,  1998,
equipment with an original cost of $1,644,874 was casualtied with  proceeds
of $986,672, resulting in a gain of $109,508.
     
     Interest  expense  increased of $1,086,204 for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1998 was comparable to $1,160,007 for the nine months  ended
September  30, 1997.  Management fee expense increased for the nine  months
ended  September 30, 1998, as compared to 1997, 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 decreased
for  the  nine months ended September 30, 1998 versus 1997, because certain
equipment is no longer being depreciated using an accelerated method.
     
     The  net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted  in  a
net  income  of  $913,778  for the nine months ended  September  30,  1998,
compared to $1,244,973 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
     
     During  the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership  did
not  incur  any  additional  borrowing and  made  $4,167,145  of  principal
payments on notes.

   Three  Months Ended September 30, 1998, Compared to Three  Months  Ended
September 30, 1997

     Rental  income and Income from Direct Finance Lease of $1,151,325  for
the  three months ended September 30, 1998 was comparable to rental  income
of  $1,470,486  for  the three months ended September 30,  1997.   Interest
income  was also comparable for the three months ended September 30,  1998,
as compared to 1997.
     
     Interest  expense decreased from $407,178 for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1997 to $294,483 for the three months ended  September  30,
1998  as  a  result  of a lower average level of debt  during  the  period.
Management fee expense was higher for the three months ended September  30,
1998, as compared to 1997 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 decreased for the three  months
ended  September  30,  1998 versus 1997, because certain  equipment  is  no
longer being depreciated using an accelerated method.
     
     The  net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted  in  a
net  income  of  $431,512 for the three months ended  September  30,  1998,
compared to $743,659 for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

     During the three months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership  did
not incur any additional borrowing.

  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
September  30,  1998,  future  rental income, interest  income,  and  sales
proceeds.
     
     For  the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership  had  a
net  income of $913,778.  After adjusting net income during this period for
depreciation  and  amortization, and the changes in  operating  assets  and
liabilities,  net  cash  provided by operating activities  was  $1,494,875.
Cash provided by investing activities consisted primarily of $3,675,487  of
distributions from the Investment in Partnerships.  Cash used in  financing
activities  was  $6,919,846 in payment of notes payable  and  to  pay  cash
distributions  to  limited and general partners of $2,762,799.   In  total,
during the nine months ending September 30, 1998, Cash and Cash Equivalents
decreased  $676,095  from  operating activities, investing  activities  and
financing  activities,  resulting in an ending  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalent
balance as of September 30, 1998, of $3,804,017.
     
     In  the  opinion of the General Partners, the Partnership  will  have,
through Cash and Cash Equivalents at September 30, 1998, 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.
