NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

     Cypress  Equipment  Fund  II,  Ltd., (the  "Partnership"),  a  Florida
limited  partnership,  was formed November 13, 1991,  for  the  purpose  of

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

     Cypress  Equipment Management Corporation II, a California corporation

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.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999.

     Rental income decreased to $273,309 for the six months ended June  30,
2000,  from $1,649,465 for the six month period ended June 30, 1999.   This
decrease was primarily due to equipment coming off lease or being  sold  in
the intervening period.  Interest income decreased for the six months ended
June  30,  2000, as compared to the six months ended June 30,  1999.   This
decrease was primarily due to a decreased average balance of cash available
for  investment.   During  the  six months  ended  June  30,  2000,  rental
equipment  with  a book value of $3,326,002 was sold for  net  proceeds  of
$3,395,245  resulting in a gain on sale of $69,244.  During the six  months
ended  June 30, 2000, the partnership sold equipment held for sale  with  a
book  cost of $2,244,035 for net proceeds of $2,616,474 resulting in a gain
on  sale  of  $372,439.  During the six months ended June 30, 1999,  rental
equipment  with a book value of $543,435 was sold for $1,010,089  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.

     Incentive  management fees increased from $0 for the six months  ended
June 30, 1999, to $469,242 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  The  4%
incentive  management fee was earned with the August 10, 1999 distribution,
as each Limited Partner has received cumulative cash distributions equal to
his capital contributions.  Equipment resale fees increased from $0 for the
six  months ended June 30, 1999, to $112,991 for the six months ended  June
30, 2000.  The equipment resale fee was deferred without interest until the
Limited  Partners  began receiving cumulative cash distributions  equal  to
payout  plus  an  amount equal to 8% of adjusted capital contributions  per
annum cumulative from each Limited Partner's closing date.

     Interest  expense decreased to $52,532 for the six months  ended  June
30,  2000, as compared to $153,280 for the six months ended June 30,  1999.
This  decrease  was  due to an average lower level of  debt.   Depreciation
expense  decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2000 versus 1999,  due
to a lower average depreciable basis of equipment.

     The  net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted  in  a
net  loss  of $291,633 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared  to
net income of $7,130,327 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     During  the  six months ended June 30, 2000, the Partnership  did  not
incur any additional borrowing and made $0 of principal payments on notes.

  Three Months Ended June 30, 2000, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
1999

      Rental  income decreased to $109,654 for the three months ended  June
30,  2000  as  compared to rental income of $911,389 for the  three  months
ended  June 30, 1999.  This decrease was primarily due to equipment  coming
off  lease  or  being  sold  in the intervening  period.   Interest  income
decreased  for  the three months ended June 30, 2000, as  compared  to  the
three  months  ended June 30, 1999.  This was due to a decreased  level  of
cash available for investment.

      During the three months ended June 30, 1999 there was a gain on  sale
of  equipment held for sale of $4,066,309 as compared to a loss on the sale
of  equipment  of  $51,900  for  the three  months  ended  June  30,  2000.
Incentive management fees increased from $0 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 to $209,281 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.

      Interest expense decreased to $26,718 for the three months ended June
30,  2000, as compared to $60,840 for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
This  decrease  was  due to an average lower level of  debt.   Depreciation
expense  decreased  for the three months ended June 30, 2000  versus  1999.
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 loss of $350,253 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared  to
a net income of $4,597,134 for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

  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, 2000, future rental income, interest income, and sales proceeds.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Partnership had a net loss
of   $291,633.   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 $232,706.   Cash
provided by investing activities consisted of $60,519 of distributions from
the Investment in Partnerships.  Other cash flows from investing activities
were  $3,395,245  from the proceeds of the sale of rental equipment.   Cash
used  in financing activities was to pay cash distributions to limited  and
general  partners  of $5,608,926.  In total, during the six  months  ending
June  30,  2000,  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents  decreased  $1,920,454  from
operating   activities,  investing  activities  and  financing  activities,
resulting  in  an ending Cash and Cash Equivalent balance as  of  June  30,
2000, of $759,935.

     In  the  opinion of the General Partners, the Partnership  will  have,
through  Cash  and  Cash Equivalents at June 30, 2000, 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.
