                                  Smith Barney
                        Diversified Futures Fund L.P. II
                                    June 1997


The net asset value of the Smith  Barney  Diversified  Futures  Fund L.P. II was
$1,090.64 at the end of June,  down 1.7% from the close of May.  Reversing May's
trading experience,  the financial markets provided  substantial profits for the
Fund but  were  offset  by  losses  brought  on by  price  consolidation  in the
traditional commodity markets.

In the currency  markets,  advisor  positions in the Japanese yen, Deutsche mark
and British pound  produced  profits,  as did positions in stock  indices,  most
notably  in the  Japanese  nikkei  and S&P 500  indices.  Further  profits  were
realized from advisors' positions in U.S. and global interest rate markets.

In the  energy  markets,  prospects  of reduced  oil  supply due to Middle  East
tensions and reduced OPEC production  caused prices to rise sharply,  which then
resulted in losses for advisors' short positions. In the metals markets, profits
were made from  short  positions  in gold as prices  continued  to fall to their
lowest levels in more than four years.

In the softs  markets,  advisors gave back profits from their long  positions in
coffee as prices  suddenly  declined due to favorable  Brazilian crop conditions
and improved supply. In the grains markets,  profits were derived from positions
in soybeans.

Important Note From the General Partner:

The  following  changes  in the  principals  of  the  General  Partner  became
effective  in  May  1997.   Shelley  Ullman  and  Maureen  O'Toole  each  were
appointed  as Senior Vice  President;  Philip M.  Waterman,  Jr.  resigned his
positions as Vice Chairman and Director.
