Semi-Annual Report

February 29, 1996





This report, including the financial information herein, is
transmitted to the shareholders of Corporate High Yield Fund II,
Inc. for their information. It is not a prospectus, circular or
representation intended for use in the purchase of shares of the
Fund or any securities mentioned in the report. Past performance
results shown in this report should not be considered a
representation of future performance. The Fund has leveraged its
Common Stock to provide Common Stock shareholders with a potentially
higher rate of return. Leverage creates risk for Common Stock
shareholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net
asset value and market price of Common Stock shares, and the risk
that fluctuations in short-term interest rates may reduce the Common
Stock's yield. Statements and other information herein are as dated
and are subject to change.

The Benefits and
Risks of
Leveraging

Corporate High Yield Fund II, Inc. has the ability to utilize
leverage through borrowings or issuance of short-term debt
securities or shares of Preferred Stock. The concept of leveraging
is based on the premise that the cost of assets to be obtained from
leverage will be based on short-term interest rates, which normally
will be lower than the return earned by the Fund on its longer-term
portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of the
Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in
higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Fund's Common Stock
shareholders will benefit from the incremental yield.

Leverage creates risks for holders of Common Stock including the
likelihood of greater net asset value and market price volatility.
In addition, there is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates
on borrowings (or in the dividend rates on any Preferred Stock, if
the Fund were to issue Preferred Stock) may reduce the Common
Stock's yield and negatively impact its market price. If the income
derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage
exceeds the cost of leverage, the Fund's net income will be greater
than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from
the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of
leverage, the Fund's net income will be less than if leverage had
not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution
to Common Stock shareholders will be reduced. In this case, the Fund
may nevertheless decide to maintain its leveraged position in order
to avoid capital losses on securities purchased with leverage.
However, the Fund will not generally utilize leverage if it
anticipates that its leveraged capital structure would result in a
lower rate of return for its Common Stock than would be obtained if
the Common Stock were unleveraged for any significant amount of
time.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER


High-Yield Overview
The high-yield market outperformed Treasury securities during the
six-month period ended February 29, 1996. Total return of the
unmanaged Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index was +6.32% versus
+3.87% for the ten-year Treasury note. This performance reflects the
sharp drop in Treasury prices during February and strong high-yield
market technical factors, particularly cash inflows to high-yield
funds which totaled over $5 billion from September 1995 through
January 1996. Since the high-yield market did not experience the
magnitude of the fall in Treasury bond prices in February, the
already tight spread between Treasury securities and high-yield
bonds tightened further. At February 29, 1996, the spread between
high-yield bond yields and ten-year Treasury yields was 349 basis
points (3.49%) compared to 412 basis points at December 31, 1995. We
do not believe this tight spread bodes well for the performance of
high-yield bonds relative to Treasury securities in the near term.
In addition, a sizable new-issue calendar may put pressure on high-
yield bond prices.

Within the high-yield market, lower-rated B bonds outperformed
higher-rated BB bonds because of the latter's relatively higher
interest rate sensitivity. Homebuilders, hotels and gaming, cable
television, and air transport areas performed strongly and benefited
from solid earnings reports. The retailing, food/beverage and
textile industries were laggards, reflecting poor earnings
performance.

Fund Performance
For the six-month period ended February 29, 1996, total investment
return on the Fund's Common Stock was +8.83%, based on a change in
the per share net asset value from $12.44 to $12.78 and assuming
reinvestment of $0.717 per share income dividends. During the same
period, the net annualized yield of the Fund's Common Stock was
11.26%.
<PAGE>
Leverage Strategy
Throughout the six-month period ended February 29, 1996, the Fund
was approximately 17% leveraged. At February 29, 1996, the Fund was
9.8% leveraged, having borrowed $11.75 million of the $60 million of
available credit at an average borrowing cost of 6.0%. This
represents a low borrowing level relative to our maximum legal
borrowings of 33% of total assets. Although markets were strong in
the fall of 1995, we became concerned that interest rates would not
continue to fall, thus weakening prices in our market. Therefore,
late in the year, we began to sell positions and deleverage the
Fund. Leverage reached a six-month peak in early December at 20.2%.
While deleveraging, we attempted to selectively buy bonds that are
cushioned from the effects of rising interest rates as well as
having limited potential for near-term earnings disappointment.
Among these purchases was Walters Industries, 12.19% due 2000, which
has since been redeemed.


Portfolio Strategy
We overweighted some industry groups because of above-average value,
including broadcasting and publishing, broadcasting/cable and
communications, which aggregate 16.1% of aggregate long-term
investments. This broad media category includes cable television
operations in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain;
television broadcasting companies; and US and foreign cellular and
paging services. Also included in this category have been large
telephone companies in Argentina and the Philippines whose bond
ratings are below investment grade because of the sovereign risk of
investing in these two countries.

Our concentration in the broad communications industry boosted
performance during the six-month period ended February 29, 1996,
because our top-performing sectors included broadcast/cable and
communications. The broadcast/cable sector, in particular, benefited
from the market's reevaluation of the competitive position and asset
values of companies that provide alternative methods of delivery for
video and communications. The Fund also has holdings in wireless
cable and in start-up cable/telephone companies in the United
Kingdom and Australia. In the communications subcategory,
performance was strong for most of the Fund's investments. The
September initial public offering of PanAmSat L.P., one of our large
holdings, is notable as was the continuing improvement in our
overseas telephone and cellular investments.

The portfolio experienced a surprise bankruptcy filing in November
when Harrah's Jazz Company, a casino project in New Orleans, sought
bankruptcy protection after its bank lenders withdrew financing. We
are pursuing recovery vigorously. Other gaming holdings, primarily
established casinos in Atlantic City that are generally secured by
mortgages on the properties, performed well because of strengthening
in the Atlantic City market.
<PAGE>
The average maturity of the portfolio was 6 years, 11 months on
February 29, 1996. At the close of the six-month period, major
industries represented in the portfolio included: communications,
10.5% of total high-yield investments; energy, 10.0%; utilities,
8.1%; consumer products, 7.6%; and gaming, 7.1%.


In Conclusion
We thank you for your investment in Corporate High Yield Fund II,
Inc., and we look forward to assisting you with your financial needs
and objectives in the months and years ahead.


Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Significant Accounting Policies:
Corporate High Yield Fund II, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, closed-end
management investment company. These unaudited financial statements
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim period
presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The Fund determines and makes available for publication the net
asset value of its Common Stock on a weekly basis. The Fund's Common
Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol KYT.

(a) Valuation of investments--Portfolio securities (other than short-
term obligations but including listed issues) may be valued on the
basis of prices furnished by one or more pricing services which
determine prices for normal, institutional-size trading units of
such securities using market information, transactions for
comparable securities and various relationships between securities
which are generally recognized by institutional traders. In certain
circumstances, portfolio securities are valued at the last sale
price on the exchange that is the primary market for such
securities, or the last quoted bid price for those securities for
which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for
listed securities in which there were no sales during the day. The
<PAGE>
value of interest rate swaps, caps and floors is determined in
accordance with a formula and then confirmed periodically by
obtaining a bank quotation. Positions in options are valued at the
last sale price on the market where any such option is principally
traded. Obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value,
unless this method no longer produces fair valuations. Repurchase
agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. Rights or
warrants to acquire stock, or stock acquired pursuant to the
exercise of a right or warrant, may be valued taking into account
various factors such as original cost to the Fund, earnings and net
worth of the issuer, market prices for securities of similar
issuers, assessment of the issuer's future prosperity, liquidation
value or third-party transactions involving the issuer's securities.
Securities for which there exist no price quotations or valuations
and all other assets including futures contracts and related
options, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or
on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Fund.

(b) Derivative financial instruments--The Fund may engage in various
portfolio strategies to seek to increase its return by hedging its
portfolio against adverse movements in the debt markets. Losses may
arise due to changes in the value of the contract or if the
counterparty does not perform under the contract.

* Options--The Fund is authorized to write and purchase call and put
options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the
premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an
equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently
marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option
written.

When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an
option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or
deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from
(or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option
expires (or the Fund enters into a closing transaction), the Fund
realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums
received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the
closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received).

Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.
<PAGE>
* Financial futures contracts--The Fund may purchase or sell
interest rate futures contracts and options on such futures
contracts for the purpose of hedging the market risk on existing
securities or the intended purchase of securities. Futures
contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a
specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering
into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such
initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction
is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive
from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily
fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are
known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized
gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of
the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it
was closed.

* Interest rate transactions--The Fund is authorized to enter into
interest rate swaps and purchase or sell interest rate caps and
floors. In an interest rate swap, the Fund exchanges with another
party their respective commitments to pay or receive interest on a
specified notional principal amount. The purchase of an interest
rate cap (or floor) entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a
specified index exceeds (or falls below) a predetermined interest
rate, to receive payments of interest equal to the difference
between the index and the predetermined rate on a notional principal
amount from the party selling such interest rate cap (or floor).

(c) Income taxes--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax
provision is required.

(d) Security transactions and investment income--Security
transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered
into (the trade dates). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend dates. Interest income (including amortization of discount)
is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on
security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.

(e) Deferred organization expenses--Deferred organization expenses
are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period.

(f) Dividends and distributions--Dividends from net investment
income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains
are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Fund

commitment are subject to certain limitations contained in the
credit agreement. For this commitment, the Fund pays one-tenth of 1%
