NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

     Cypress  Equipment  Fund  II,  Ltd., (the  "Partnership"),  a  Florida

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

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.

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 $1,845,048 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.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998.

     Rental  income decreased to $1,649,465 for the six months  ended  June
30,  1999,  from $2,831,816 for the six month period ended June  30,  1998.
This decrease was primarily due to equipment coming off lease or being sold
in  the  intervening period.  Interest income was comparable  for  the  six
months  ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the six months ended  June  30,
1998.  During the six months ended June 30, 1999, rental equipment  with  a
book  value of $543,435 was sold for $1,010,459 resulting in a gain on sale
of $466,655.  During the six months ended June 30, 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 $1,845,048 for the Partnership.  During the  six  months
ended  June  30,  1999,  equipment held for  sale  with  a  book  value  of
$3,672,601  was  sold  for  $7,950,000 resulting  in  a  gain  on  sale  of
$4,066,309.

     Interest  expense decreased to $153,820 for the six months ended  June
30,  1999, as compared to $791,721 for the six months ended June 30,  1998.
This  decrease  was  due to an average lower level of  debt.   Depreciation
expense  decreased  for  the six months ended June 30,  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 $7,130,327 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  compared
to $482,266 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

     During  the  six months ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership  did  not
incur any additional borrowing and made $3,818,776 of principal payments on
notes.

   Three Months Ended June 30, 1999, Compared to Thre Months Ended June 30,
1998

      Rental  income decreased to $911,389 for the three months ended  June
30,  1999  as compared to rental income of $1,458,487 for the three  months
ended  June 30, 1998.  This decrease was primarily due to equipment  coming
off  lease  or  being  sold  in the intervening  period.   Interest  income
increased  for  the three months ended June 30, 1999, as  compared  to  the
three  months ended June 30, 1998.  This was due to a higher level of  cash
available for investment.

      Interest expense decreased to $60,840 for the three months ended June
30, 1999, as compared to $370,853 for the three months ended June 30, 1998.
This  decrease  was  due to an average lower level of  debt.   Depreciation
expense  decreased  for the three months ended June 30, 1999  versus  1998.
This decrease was primarily due to equipment coming off lease or being sold
in the intervening period.

      The  net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted in  a
net income of $4,597,134 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared
to $213,007 for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

  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, 1999, future rental income, interest income, and sales proceeds.

     For  the  six months ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership  had  a  net
income  of  $7,130,327.  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  $10,514,036.
Cash   provided   by  investing  activities  consisted  of  $1,197,782   of
distributions from the Investment in Partnerships.  Other cash  flows  from
investing  activities  were $1,010,089 from the proceeds  of  the  sale  of
rental  equipment and $1,469,819 from the sale of options.   Cash  used  in
financing activities was $3,818,776 in payment of notes payable and to  pay
cash  distributions  to  limited and general partners  of  $4,604,671.   In
total,  during  the  six  months  ending  June  30,  1999,  Cash  and  Cash
Equivalents  increased  $5,772,512  from  operating  activities,  investing
activities and financing activities, resulting in an ending Cash  and  Cash
Equivalent balance as of June 30, 1999, of $9,474,963.

     In  the  opinion of the General Partners, the Partnership  will  have,
through  Cash  and  Cash Equivalents at June 30, 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.
