                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                June 30, 1997

                                 (Unaudited)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

       American Affordable Housing II Limited Partnership
("Partnership") was formed under the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts on May 13, 1987, for the purpose of acquiring, holding, and
disposing of limited partnership interests in operating partnerships
which were to acquire, develop, rehabilitate, operate and own newly
constructed, existing or rehabilitated low-income apartment complexes.
The general partners of the Partnership are Boston Capital Associates
Limited Partnership and C&M Associates d/b/a Boston Capital Associates.

       Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Partnership filed a
Form S-11 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, effective September 21, 1987, which covered the offering (the
"Public Offering") of the Partnership's units of limited partner
interest, as well as the units of limited partner interest offered by
American Affordable Housing I, III, IV, and V Limited Partnerships
(together with the Partnership, the "Partnerships").  The Partnerships
registered 50,000 units of limited partner interest at $1,000 each unit
for sale to the public.  The Partnership sold 26,501 units of limited
partner interest, representing $26,501,000 of capital contributions.

NOTE B - ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES

       The condensed financial statements included herein as of June 30,
1997 and for the three and nine months then ended have been prepared by the
Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Registrant's accounting and financial
reporting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and include adjustments in interim periods considered necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of operations.  All such adjustments are of
a normal recurring nature.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  It is suggested that these condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the Registrant's Annual Report Statement on
Form 10-K.

       The accompanying financial statements reflect the Partnership's
results of operations for an interim period and are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 1998.

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                                June 30, 1997
                                 (Unaudited)
NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       An annual asset management fee based on 0.5 percent of the aggregate
cost of all apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships, has been
accrued as payable to Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership
(formerly Boston Capital Communications Limited Partnership).  The portion of
the annual asset management fee accrued for the quarters ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 was $105,568 and $110,465, respectively.

       Affiliates of the General Partner have advanced $98,915 to the
Partnership to pay certain operating expenses.  This and any additional
advances will be paid, without interest, from available cash flow or the
proceeds of sales or refinancing of the Partnership's interests in
Operating Partnerships.

       On December 23, 1994 an affiliate of the General Partners funded
$100,375, interest free, to the Partnership so that it could make a $100,375
loan to the Operating Partnership Washington Mews.  The loan enabled the
Operating Partnership to refinance its mortgage at a more favorable rate, and
will be repaid by the Operating Partnership with surplus cash from operations
over the course of the three years.  As repayments are received from
Washington Mews, they will be used to repay the funding, free of interest,
from the General Partners' affiliate.  As of June 30, 1997 Washington
Mews has paid the Partnership $60,375.  As of June 30, 1997 $60,375 has
been repaid to the affiliate leaving a balance of $40,000.

NOTE D - INVESTMENTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS

       At June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership had limited partnership
equity interests in fifty Operating Partnerships, each of which owned an
apartment complex.

       Under the terms of the Partnership's investment in each Operating
Partnership, the Partnership was required to make capital contributions to
such Operating Partnerships.  These contributions were payable in installments
upon each Operating Partnership achieving specified levels of construction
and/or operations.  At June 30, 1997 and 1996, all such capital
contributions had been paid to the Operating Partnerships.

       The Partnership's fiscal year ends March 31st of each year, while all
the Operating Partnerships' fiscal years are the calendar year. Pursuant to
the provisions of each Operating Partnership Agreement, financial results for
each of the Operating Partnerships are provided to the Partnership within 45
days after the close of each Operating Partnership's quarterly period.
Accordingly, the current financial results available for the Operating
Partnerships are for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

        The variance in allocated loss from the Operating Partnerships for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 is mainly a result of the way
the Partnership accounts for its investment in Operating Partnerships.  The
Partnership accounts for its investments using the equity method of
accounting.  Under the equity method of accounting, the partnership adjusts
its investment cost for its share of each Operating Partnership's results of
operations and for any distributions received or accrued.  However, the
Partnership recognizes individual operating losses only to the extent of
capital contributions.  Excess losses are suspended for use in future years to
offset excess income.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                                June 30, 1997

                                 (Unaudited)

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

        The Partnership's taxable loss for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1998 is expected to differ from its loss for financial reporting
purposes.  This is primarily due to accounting differences in depreciation
incurred by the Operating Partnerships and also differences between the equity
method of accounting and IRS accounting methods.  No provision or benefit for
income taxes has been included in these financial statements since taxable
income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the partners
individually.

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

Liquidity
---------

    The Partnership's primary source of funds was the proceeds of its
Public Offering.  Other sources of liquidity have included (i) interest
earned on working capital reserves, and (ii) cash distributions from
operations of the Operating Partnerships in which the Partnership has
invested.  Both of these sources of liquidity are available to meet the
obligations of the Partnership.

    The Partnership is currently accruing the annual asset management fee.
Asset management fees accrued during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were
$105,568 and total asset management fees accrued as of June 30, 1997 were
$3,506,334.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such liabilities will
be deferred until the Partnership receives sales or refinancing proceeds
from Operating Partnerships, which will be used to satisfy such liabilities.

    Affiliates of the General Partners have advanced $98,915 to the
Partnership to pay certain third party operating expenses.  This and
any additional advances will be paid, without interest, from available
cash flow, reporting fees or the proceeds of sales or refinancing of the
Partnership's interests in Operating Partnerships.

    The Partnership anticipates that as the Operating Partnerships continue
to mature more cash flow and reporting fees will be generated.  Cash flow
and reporting fees will be added to the Partnership's working capital and
will be available to meet future third party obligations of the Partnership.
The Partnership is currently and will continue to aggressively pursue
available cash flow and reporting fees and anticipates that the amount
collected will be sufficient to cover future third party operating
expenses.


Capital Resources
-----------------

    The Partnership received $26,501,000 in subscriptions for Units (at
$1,000 per Unit) during the period February 2, 1988 to September 21, 1988
pursuant to the Public Offering, resulting in net proceeds available for
investment in Operating Partnerships (after payment of acquisition fees
and expenses and funding of a reserve) of $18,550,700.  As of June 30,
1997 the Partnership had committed to investments requiring cash payments of
$18,613,764, all of which had been paid at June 30, 1997. At June
30, 1997 the Partnership held working capital of $12,248.

Results of Operations
---------------------

    As of June 30, 1997 and 1996 the Partnership held limited partnership
interests in 50 Operating Partnerships.  In each instance the Apartment
Complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible for the
Federal Housing Tax Credit.  Occupancy of a unit in each Apartment Complex
which initially complied with the Minimum Set-Aside Test (i.e., occupancy by
tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage of area median
income) and the Rent Restriction Test (i.e., gross rent charged tenants does
not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to hereinafter
as "Qualified Occupancy."  Each of the Operating Partnerships and each of the
respective Apartment Complexes are described more fully in the Prospectus or
applicable report on Form 8-K.  The General Partner believes that there is
adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

    As of June 30, 1997 and 1996 the Qualified Occupancy of the Operating
Partnership's was 99.9% and 99.7%, respectively.

    The Partnership had invested in a total of 50 Operating Partnerships as of
June 30, 1997 and 1996.  During the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, the Partnership received cash flow distributions of $523 and $10,352
respectively, and reporting fees of $3,500 and $7,410, respectively, from the
Operating Partnerships.  The reductions are a result of timing variances in
the cash receipts from the Operating Partnerships. No significant
distributions of cash flow or reporting fees from the Operating Partnerships
are anticipated due to the restrictions on rents which apply to low-income
apartment complexes such as those invested in by the Partnership.

        The Partnership incurred an annual asset management fee to Boston
Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership (formerly Boston Capital
Communications Limited Partnership) in an amount equal to 0.5% of the
aggregate cost of the apartment complexes owned by the Operating Partnerships,
less the amount of certain partnership management and reporting fees paid by
the Operating Partnerships.  The annual asset management fee incurred, net of
reporting fees received, during the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
was $102,068 and $103,055 respectively.
