Readers of this  Quarterly  Report  should  refer  to the Partnership's audited
financial statements for the  fiscal  year  ended  December 31, 1996, which are
included  in  the  Partnership's  1996   Annual  Report,  as  certain  footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited
financial statements have been omitted from this Report.

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

The Registrant, Inland Monthly  Income  Fund  II, L.P. (the "Partnership"), was
formed on June  20,  1988  pursuant  to  the  Delaware  Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act, to  invest  in  improved  residential,  retail, industrial and
other income producing properties. On August 4, 1988, the Partnership commenced
an Offering of 50,000 (subject to increase to 80,000) Limited Partnership Units
pursuant to a  Registration  under  the  Securities  Act  of 1933. The Offering
terminated on August 4, 1990, with  total  sales of 50,647.14 Units at $500 per
Unit, resulting in gross  offering  proceeds  of $25,323,569, not including the
General Partner's contribution for $500. All of the holders of these Units have
been admitted to the Partnership.  Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is
the General Partner.  The  Limited  Partners  of  the  Partnership share in the
benefits  of  ownership  of  the  Partnership's  real  property  investments in
proportion to the  number  of  Units  held.  The Partnership repurchased 551.64
Units for $260,285 from  various  Limited  Partners through the Unit Repurchase
Program. There are no funds remaining  for the repurchase of Units through this
program.

The preparation of financial  statements  in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires  management  to  make  estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts  of  assets  and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at  the  date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering costs have been offset against the Limited Partners' capital accounts.

The Partnership adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121") as required in the first quarter of 1996.  SFAS
121 requires that the Partnership record  an impairment loss on its property to
be held for investment whenever  its  carrying  value cannot be fully recovered
through estimated undiscounted  future  cash  flows  from  their operations and
sale.  The  amount  of  the  impairment  loss  to  be  recognized  would be the
difference between the property's  carrying  value and the property's estimated
fair value.    The  adoption  of  SFAS  121  did  not  have  any  effect on the
Partnership's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are based upon estimated  useful  lives  of  30 to 40 years, while
furniture and fixtures are based upon estimated  useful lives of 5 to 12 years.
Maintenance  and  repair  expenses  are  charged  to  operations  as  incurred.
Significant improvements are capitalized  and  depreciated over their estimated
useful lives.

Deferred leasing fees are amortized on  a  straight-line basis over the term of
the related lease.

Rental income is recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over the term of each
lease.  The difference between rental  income earned on the straight-line basis
and the cash rent due under the  provisions of the lease agreements is recorded
as deferred rent receivable.

The Partnership  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  purchased  with a
maturity of three months or  less  to  be  cash  equivalents and are carried at
cost, which approximates market.    For  the  periods  ended March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996,  included  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents is approximately
$293,000 and $327,800, respectively, held in an unrestricted escrow account for
the payment of real estate taxes for Colonial Manor Living Center.

No provision for Federal income taxes  has  been made as the liability for such
taxes is that of the Partners rather than the Partnership.

In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  financial  statements  contain  all the
adjustments necessary, which  are  of  a  normal  recurring  nature, to present
fairly the  financial  position  and  results  of  operations  for  the periods
presented herein.  Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the year.

(2) Deferred Rent Receivable

Certain tenant leases contain provisions  providing for stepped rent increases.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that rental income be recorded
for the period of occupancy  using  the  straight-line basis.  The accompanying
financial statements include  decreases  of  $8,438  and  $2,680  for the three
months ended March 31, 1997  and  1996,  respectively, of rental income for the
period of occupancy for  which  stepped  rent  increases apply and $374,196 and
$382,634 in related deferred rent receivable  as of March 31, 1997 and December
31, 1996, respectively.  These amounts will  be collected over the terms of the
related leases as scheduled rent payments are made.


(3) Transactions with Affiliates

The General  Partner  and  its  Affiliates  are  entitled  to reimbursement for
salaries and expenses of employees  of  the  General Partner and its Affiliates
relating to the administration of the  Partnership.  Such costs are included in
professional services and general and administrative expenses to Affiliates, of
which $17,112 and $2,925 was unpaid as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively.

An Affiliate of the General  Partner  earned Property Management Fees of $7,535
and $7,104 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, in
connection with managing the Partnership's  properties.  Such fees are included
in property operating expenses to Affiliates,  of which $3,195 was unpaid as of
March 31, 1997.

In connection with the  sale  of  The  Wholesale  Club  on January 8, 1991, the
Partnership recorded $132,000 of  sales  commission  payable to an Affiliate of
the General Partner.    Such  commission  has  been  deferred until the Limited
Partners receive their  Original  Capital  plus  a  return  as specified in the
Partnership Agreement.


(4)  Subsequent Events

During April 1997,  the  Partnership  paid  a  distribution  of $140,427 to the
Limited Partners.

Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and
         Results of Operations


Certain statements in this  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and  elsewhere in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q constitute of "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of the
Federal Private Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.   These forward-
looking statements involve  known  and  unknown  risks, uncertainties and other
factors which  may  cause  the  Partnership's  actual  results,  performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied  by  these forward-looking statements.  These
factors include,  among  other  things,  federal,  state  or local regulations;
adverse changes in general economic  or local conditions; inability of borrower
to meet financial  obligations;  uninsured  losses;  and potential conflicts of
interest between the  Partnership  and  its  Affiliates,  including the General
Partner.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 4, 1988, the Partnership  commenced an Offering of 50,000 (subject to
increase to  80,000)  Limited  Partnership  Units  pursuant  to  a Registration
Statement  on  Form  S-11  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933.  The Offering
terminated on August 4, 1990, with  total  sales of 50,647.14 Units at $500 per
Unit, resulting in gross  offering  proceeds  of $25,323,569, not including the
General Partner's contribution of $500. All  of the holders of these Units have
been admitted to the Partnership.  The Partnership has acquired five properties
utilizing $21,224,542 of capital  proceeds  collected.  On January 8, 1991, the
Partnership sold one of its  properties,  The  Wholesale  Club. As of March 31,
1997, cumulative  distributions  to  Limited  Partners  totaled $18,390,581, of
which $4,395,565 represents proceeds from  the  sale  of The Wholesale Club and
$13,995,016  represents  distributable  cash  flow  from  the  properties.  The
Partnership repurchased 551.64 Units for $260,285 from various Limited Partners
through the Unit  Repurchase  Program.  There  are  no  funds remaining for the
repurchase of Units through this program.

As of  March  31,  1997,  the  Partnership  had  cash  and  cash equivalents of
$1,059,586 which includes approximately $293,000 held in an unrestricted escrow
account for the payment of real  estate taxes for Colonial Manor Living Center.
The Partnership intends to use  such  remaining funds for distributions and for
working capital requirements.

The properties owned by the Partnership  are  generating cash flow in excess of
the 8% annualized  distributions  to  the  Limited  Partners (paid monthly), in
addition to covering all  the  operating  expenses  of  the Partnership.  As of
March 31, 1997, the Partnership  has  made cumulative distributions of $253,868
in addition to the 8%  annualized  return  to  the Limited Partners from excess
cash flow. To the extent that the cash flow from the properties is insufficient
to meet the Partnership's  needs,  the  Partnership  may  rely on advances from
Affiliates of the General Partner, other  short-term financing, or may sell one
or more of the properties.





                                    -9-



During May 1996, Euro-Fresh  Market  ("Euro-Fresh")  began its occupancy of the
anchor store of Water Tower Market Plaza in Palatine, Illinois and the shopping
center has been renamed Euro-Fresh Market  Plaza.  Eagle Foods had assigned the
lease on February 4, 1994 to  Certified Grocers Midwest, Inc. ("Certified") who
vacated in August 1995.  Under the original lease, as well as the assignment of
the lease, Eagle Foods  has  guaranteed  payments  until  November 1998.  As of
March 31, 1997, there were  two  vacant  spaces  at Euro-Fresh Market Plaza for
3,745 square feet.

Results of Operations

At March 31, 1997, the Partnership owns  four operating properties.  Two of the
Partnership's four operating properties,  Scandinavian  Health Spa and Colonial
Manor Living Center, are leased  on  a  "triple-net" basis which means that all
expenses of the property are passed through  to  the tenant.  The leases of the
other two properties owned  by  the  Partnership,  K mart and Euro-Fresh Market
Plaza, provide that  the  Partnership  be  responsible  for  maintenance of the
structure and the parking lot  and  the  tenants  are required to reimburse the
Partnership for  portions  of  insurance,  real  estate  taxes  and common area
maintenance.  The Partnership sold  one  of its properties, The Wholesale Club,
on January 8, 1991.

Rental and additional income  increased  for  the  three months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to the three months  ended March 31, 1996, due to an increase
in occupancy at Euro-Fresh Market Plaza.   As of March 31, 1997, there were two
vacant spaces at Euro-Fresh Market Plaza for 3,745 square feet.

Professional services to non-affiliates  increased  for  the three months ended
March 31, 1997, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996, due to an
increase in legal and accounting services required by the Partnership.

General and  administrative  expenses  to  Affiliates  decreased  for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, as  compared  to  the three months ended March 31,
1996,  due  to  a  decrease   in   investor  service  expenses.    General  and
administrative expenses to non-affiliates increased  for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, as compared to  the  three  months ended March 31, 1996, due to
increases in printing, postage and state taxes.
