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

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

Nine  Months  Ended  September  30, 2000, Compared  to  Nine  Months  Ended
September 30, 1999.

     Rental  income  decreased  to  $382,964  for  the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000,  from  $2,567,114 for the  nine  month  period  ended
September   30, 1999.  This decrease was primarily due to equipment  coming
off  lease  or  being  sold  in the intervening  period.   Interest  income
decreased  to  $68,267  for the nine months ended September  30,  2000,  as
compared  to  $222,649 for the nine months ended September 30,  1999.  This
decrease  was  primarily due to a decreased average  balance  of  cash  for
investment.   During  the  nine months ended  September  30,  2000,  rental
equipment  with  a book value of $3,326,002 was sold for  net  proceeds  of
$3,395,246 resulting in a gain on sale of $69,244.  During the nine  months
ended September 30, 2000, the partnership sold equipment held for sale with
a  book  cost of $4,056,729 for net proceeds of $2,899,901 resulting  in  a
loss  on  sale  $32,176. During the nine months ended September  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 nine  months  ended
September  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 nine months ended September 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 $4,064,379.

     Incentive management fees increased from $487,007 for the nine  months
ended  September  30, 1999 to $553,966 for the nine months ended  September
30,  2000.  The 4% incentive management fee was earned with the August  10,
1999  distribution, as each Limited Partner has received cash distributions
equal to his capital contributions. Equipment resale fees increased from $0
for  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1999 to $120,491  for  the  nine
months  ended  September 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 $79,250  for  the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000,  as compared to $195,751 for the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1999. This decrease was due to an average  lower  level  of
debt.  Depreciation expense decreased for the nine months  ended  September
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 $806,073 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared
to a net income of $6,384,806 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
before  Equity  in  Income of Partnerships.  During the nine  month  period
ended  September  30, 1999, the Partnership sold its 40%  interest  in  the
Federal Paper Board.  This resulted in Equity in Income of Partnerships  of
$9,822,406 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.  This resulted  in
a  net  loss  of $806,073 for the nine months ended September 30,  2000  as
compared to a net income of $16,207,212 for the nine months ended September
30, 1999.

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

Three  Months  Ended  September 30, 2000, Compared to  Three  Months  Ended
September 30, 1999.

      Rental  income  decreased  to $109,655 for  the  three  months  ended
September  30, 2000 as compared to rental income of $917,649 for the  three
months  ended  September  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 September 30, 2000, as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999.  This was due  to  a
lower level of cash available for investment.

      Interest  expense  decreased to $26,718 for the  three  months  ended
September  30,  2000,  as compared to $41,931 for the  three  months  ended
September  30,  1999. This decrease was due to an average  lower  level  of
debt.  Depreciation expense decreased for the three months ended  September
30,  2000 versus 1999.  This decrease was primarily due to equipment coming
off lease or being sold in the intervening period.

     During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the partnership sold
equipment  held for sale with a book value of $688,043 for net proceeds  of
$283,428 resulting in a loss on sale of $404,615.

     During the three months ended September 30, 2000, incentive management
fees  were  $84,724  as  compared to $487,007 for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1999.  The 4% incentive management fees were 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
September 30, 1999 to $7,500 for the three months ended September 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.

      The  net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted in  a
net  loss  of  $514,440  for  the three months ended  September  30,  2000,
compared to a net loss of $344,468 for the three months ended September 30,
1999  before  Equity  in Income of Partnerships.  During  the  three  month
period  ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership sold its 40% interest  in
the Federal Paper Board.  This resulted in Equity in Income of Partnerships
of $9,421,354 for the three months ended September 30, 1999.  This resulted
in  a net loss of $514,440 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to a net income of $9,076,886 for the three months ended September
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
September  30,  2000,  future  rental income, interest  income,  and  sales
proceeds.

     For  the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership  had  a
net  loss  of $806,073.  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 $673,432.  Cash
provided  by investing activities consisted of $3,395,246 from the proceeds
of  the sales of rental equipment and distributions from the investment  in
partnerships of $91,855.  Cash used in financing activities was to pay cash
distributions  to  limited and general partners of $5,892,575.   In  total,
during the nine months ending September 30, 2000, Cash and Cash Equivalents
decreased  $1,733,542 from operating activities, investing  activities  and
financing  activities,  resulting in an ending  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalent
balance as of September 30, 2000, of $946,847.

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