                                 (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.

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
September 30,
1997 and 1996 was $110,465 for both years, respectively.

       Affiliates of the General Partner have advanced $113,915
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 September 30, 1997
Washington
Mews has paid the Partnership $60,375.  As of September 30, 1997
$60,375 has
been repaid to the affiliate leaving a balance of $40,000.

NOTE D - INVESTMENTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS

       At September 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 September 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 six months ended June 30, 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.

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 September
30, 1997 were $110,465 and total asset management fees accrued as
of September 30, 1997 were $3,616,799.  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 $113,915 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
September 30,
1997 the Partnership had committed to investments requiring cash
payments of
$18,613,764, all of which had been paid at September 30, 1997. At
September
30, 1997 the Partnership held working capital of $3,261.


                                       10

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

    As of September 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 September 30, 1997 and 1996 the Qualified Occupancy of
the Operating Partnership's was 99.5% and 99.9%, respectively.

    The Partnership had invested in a total of 50 Operating
Partnerships as of September 30, 1997 and 1996.  During the
quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership
received cash flow distributions of $5,126 and $0 respectively,
and reporting fees of $4,800 and $3,430, 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 September 30, 1997 and 1996
was $105,665 and $107,035 respectively.
