                      COMMONWEALTH INCOME & GROWTH FUND II

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 2000

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31 has
been prepared from the books and records without audit. Financial information as
of December 31 has been derived from the audited financial statements of
Commonwealth Income & Growth Fund II (the "Partnership"), but does not include
all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for
the periods indicated have been included. For further information regarding the
Partnership's accounting policies, refer to the financial statements and related
notes included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER EQUIVALENT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

upon net income (loss) allocated to the limited partners and the weighted
average number of equivalent units outstanding during the period.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership satisfied its minimum offering requirements and commenced
operations on September 22, 1995. On that date, subscribers for 126,118 Units
were admitted as Limited Partners of the Partnership. On May 12, 1997, the
Partnership terminated its offering of Units with 461,817 ($9,235,185) Units
sold.

The Partnership's primary sources of capital for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 were from cash from operations of $196,000 and $349,000,
respectively. The primary uses of cash for the three months ended March 31,
2000, and 1999, were for capital expenditures for new equipment totaling $19,000
and $90,000 respectively, the payment of preferred distributions to partners of
$233,000 for the quarter, the payment of acquisition fees of $2,760 and $13,000
respectively, and the payment of finance fees of $500 and $2,000, respectively.

Currently, Partners' contributions and rental income from the Partnership's
leases are invested in money market accounts investing directly in treasury
obligations pending the Partnership's use of such funds to purchase additional
computer equipment, to pay Partnership expenses or to make distributions to the
Partners. At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 the Partnership had
approximately $36,000 and $52,000, respectively, invested in these money market
accounts.

The Partnership's investment strategy of acquiring computer equipment and
generally leasing it under "triple-net leases" to operators who generally meet
specified financial standards minimizes the Partnership's operating expenses. As
of March 31, 2000, the Partnership had future minimum rentals on noncancellable
operating leases of $2,658,000 for the year ending December 31, 2000 and
$840,000 thereafter. At March 31, 2000, the outstanding debt was 2,900,000, with
interest rates ranging from 6.4% to 8.2%, and will be payable through January,
2002.

The Partnership's cash from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to
cover all operating expenses, liabilities, and preferred distributions to
Partners during the next 12 month period. If available Cash Flow or Net
Disposition Proceeds are insufficient to cover the Partnership expenses and
liabilities on a short and long term basis, the Partnership will attempt to
obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing Equipment, or by
borrowing within its permissible limits. The Partnership may also reduce the
distributions to its Partners if it deems necessary. Since the Partnership's
leases are on a "triple-net" basis, no reserve for maintenance and repairs are
deemed necessary.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership recognized income of
$1,167,000 and expenses of $1,170,000, resulting in net loss of $2,335. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership recognized income of $1,135,000
and expenses of $1,200,000, resulting in net loss of $65,000.

Lease income decreased by .8% from $1,134,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1999, to $1,125,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, primarily due to
utilizing cash available from Partners' contributions for the purchase of
Equipment, which in turn generated less lease income. During the three months
ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership expended $19,000 to acquire one lease,
which will generate approximately $144,800 in revenue.

Interest income increased 48% from $1,427 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
to $2,124 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, primarily due to a higher
monthly average balance in the money market accounts for the quarter ended March
31, 2000.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting,
legal, and outside service fees. The expense increased 57% from approximately
$27,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, to $64,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, which is primarily attributable to the accrual of accounting
fees.

The equipment management fee is equal to 5% of the gross lease revenue
attributable to equipment which is subject to operating leases. The equipment
management fee increased 5% from approximately $57,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, to $60,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on computer
equipment, amortization of organizational costs, and equipment acquisition fees.
The expenses decreased 3% from approximately $974,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, to $938,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership generated cash
flow from operating activities of $196,000, which includes a net loss of $2,000,
and depreciation and amortization expenses of $9991,000. Other noncash
activities included in the determination of net income includes direct payments
of lease income by lessees to banks of $702,000.

For the three month period ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership generated cash
flow from operating activities of $259,000, which includes net loss of $65,000,
and depreciation and amortization expenses of $897,000. Other noncash activities
included in the determination of net income includes direct payments of lease
income by lessees to banks of $545,000.
