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 4 - BASIS OF PREPARATION

     The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared
in  accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of
the  information  and  note  disclosures  required  by  generally  accepted
accounting principles.  These statements should be read in conjunction with
the  financial statements and notes thereto included with the Partnership's
Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended December 31, 1998.   In  the  opinion  of
management, these financial statements include all adjustments,  consisting
only  of  normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize  fairly  the
Partnership's financial position and results of operations.  The results of
operations  for  the  period may not be indicative of  the  results  to  be
expected for the year.

NOTE 5 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     It  is the Partnership's policy to include short-term investments with
an  original maturity of three months or less in Cash and Cash Equivalents.
These short-term investments are comprised of money market mutual funds and
a  repurchase agreement.  All of the Partnership's securities  included  in
Cash and Cash Equivalents are considered held-to-maturity.  The balance  of
$5,982,622  at  March  31, 1999, represents cash of  $7,248,  a  repurchase
agreement of $5,969,000, and money market mutual funds of $6,374.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Options  on  rail cars were purchased in March 1995.  On February  25,
1999,  part of the option that was to become available in January 2000  was
exercised.   The  lessee, General Chemical Partners, was granted  an  early
lease  termination and General Chemical (Soda Ash) Partners  purchased  624
rail cars producing a gain on sale of $1,864,988 for the Partnership.  This
leaves  57  cars on this option for January 2000 which the Partnership  has
exercised.  The strike price on the remaining cars is $427,500.

     The  option that becomes available in August 1999 has had one casualty
and now has an approximate strike price of $1,527,168.

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1998.

     Rental  income decreased $1,373,329 for the three months  ended  March
31,  1998,  to  $738,076 for the three month period ended March  31,  1999.
This decrease was primarily due to equipment coming off lease or being sold
in  the  intervening period.  Interest income was comparable for the  three
months  ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the three months  ended  March
31,  1998.  During the three months ended March 31, 1999, rental  equipment
with  a book value of $543,435 was sold for $1,010,459 resulting in a  gain
on sale of $467,025.  During the three months ended March 31, 1999, part of
the option that was to become available in January 2000 was exercised.  The
lessee,  General Chemical Partners, was granted an early lease  termination
and  General Chemical (Soda Ash) Partners purchased 624 rail cars producing
a gain on sale of $1,864,988 for the Partnership.

     Interest expense decreased to $92,980 for the three months ended March
31,  1999,  as  compared to $420,868 for the three months ended  March  31,
1998.   This  decrease  was  due  to  an  average  lower  level  of   debt.
Depreciation  expense decreased for the three months ended March  31,  1999
versus 1998, because certain equipment is no longer being depreciated using
an accelerated method and a lower average depreciable basis of equipment.

     The  net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted  in  a
net  income  of  $2,533,193  for the three months  ended  March  31,  1999,
compared to $269,259 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership did  not
incur any additional borrowing and made $2,845,711 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 March
31, 1999, future rental income, interest income, and sales proceeds.

     For  the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership had a  net
income  of  $2,533,193.  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  $2,414,460.
Cash   provided   by  investing  activities  consisted  of  $1,146,344   of
distributions from the Investment in Partnerships.  Other cash  flows  from
investing  activities  were $1,010,459 from the proceeds  of  the  sale  of
rental  equipment and $1,469,344 from the sale of options.   Cash  used  in
financing activities was $2,845,711 in payment of notes payable and to  pay
cash  distributions to limited and general partners of $920,933.  In total,
during  the  three months ending March 31, 1999, Cash and Cash  Equivalents
increased  $2,280,171 from operating activities, investing  activities  and
financing  activities,  resulting in an ending  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalent
balance as of March 31, 1999, of $5,982,622.

     In  the  opinion of the General Partners, the Partnership  will  have,
through  Cash  and Cash Equivalents at March 31, 1999, 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.
