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 allocated 99%  to
the  Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partners.  Once  each  Limited
Partner  has  received cumulative cash 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.

NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE

     A   significant  amount  of  the  rental  equipment  acquired  by  the
Partnership  is  pledged at time of purchase as collateral  for  the  notes

     During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the outstanding balance  of
$4,234,500  with the CIT Group Credit Facility was paid in full.   In  June
1997 a credit facility of $9,234,500 was arranged with Heller Financial and
the amount drawn down was $6,234,500.

     During  the  six months ended June 30, 1998, nothing was paid  on  the
$7,834,500  outstanding under the Heller Financial credit  facility.  Under
the  terms of the agreement $3,600,000 of this balance matures in 1998, the
remainder matures in 1999.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

     Rental income of $2,831,816 plus Income from Direct Financing Lease of
$67,181  for a total of $2,898,997 for the six months ended June  30,  1998
was comparable to rental income of $2,956,923 for the six months ended June
30,  1997.   Interest income was also comparable for the six  months  ended
June  30, 1998, as compared to 1997.  During the six months ended June  30,
1997,  equipment  with an original cost of $36,710 was  sold  for  $36,500,
resulting  in a gain on sale of $16,458.  During the six months ended  June
30, 1998, no equipment has been sold.
     
     Interest expense increased from $752,829 for the six months ended June
30,  1997,  to  $791,721  for the six months ended  June  30,  1998.   This
increase  resulted from a higher average level of debt during  the  period.
Management fee expense increased for the six months ended June 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 six months ended  June
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 $482,266 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared  to
$501,307 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
     
     During  the  six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership  did  not
incurred any additional borrowing and made $2,506,572 of principal payments
on notes.

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

     Rental  income and Income from Direct Finance Lease of $1,495,478  for
the  three  months ended June 30, 1998 was comparable to rental  income  of
$1,527,090  for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  Interest income  was
also  comparable for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as  compared  to
1997.
     Interest  expense was comparable for the three months ended  June  30,
1998, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.  Management  fee
expense was higher for the three months ended June 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  June  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 $213,007 for the three months ended June 30, 1998,  compared
to $191,089 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

     During  the three months ended June 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  June
30, 1998, future rental income, interest income, and sales proceeds.
     
     For  the  six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership  had  a  net
income  of  $482,266.  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 $978,954.   Cash
provided  by  investing  activities consisted primarily  of  $1,348,434  of
distributions from the Investment in Partnerships.  Cash used in  financing
activities  was  $2,506,572 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, 1998, Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents
decreased  $757,141  from  operating activities, investing  activities  and
financing  activities,  resulting in an ending  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalent
balance as of June 30, 1998, of $3,722,971.
     
     In  the  opinion of the General Partners, the Partnership  will  have,
through  Cash  and  Cash Equivalents at June 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.
