NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

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

agreement of $3,941,000, and money market mutual funds of $23,692.

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

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1999.

     Rental income decreased $738,076 for the three months ended March  31,
1999,  to  $163,655 for the three month period ended March 31, 2000.   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, 2000, as compared to the three months  ended  March
31, 1999.
During  the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Partnership  sold
Equipment Held for Sale with a Book Cost of $2,244,035 for net proceeds  of
$2,616,714  resulting  in  a gain on sale of $372,679.   During  the  three
months  ended  March  31,  2000, Rental Equipment  with  a  book  value  of
$3,326,002 was sold for net proceeds of $3,447,146 resulting in a  gain  on
sale  of  $121,144.  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.

     Incentive management fees increased from $0 for the three months ended
March  31, 1999 to $259,961 for the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1999,  to  $112,991
for  the  three months ended March 31, 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 $25,814 for the three months ended March
31, 2000, as compared to $92,980 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
This  decrease  was  due to an average lower level of  debt.   Depreciation
expense  decreased for the three months ended March 31, 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  income of $58,620 for the three months ended March 31, 2000,  compared
to $2,533,193 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership did  not
incur any additional borrowing and made $0 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, 2000, future rental income, interest income, and sales proceeds.

     For  the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership had a  net
income  of  $58,620.   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  $2,520,749.
Cash provided by investing activities consisted of $31,564 of distributions
from  the  Investment  in Partnerships.  Other cash  flows  from  investing
activities  were  $3,447,146  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 $4,713,085.  In total, during the three
months   ending  March  31,  2000,  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents  increased
$1,286,374  from operating activities, investing activities  and  financing
activities, resulting in an ending Cash and Cash Equivalent balance  as  of
March 31, 2000, of $3,966,763.

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