ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

    (a) General Development of Business

    AIRFUND II International Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was
organized as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited
Partnership Act (the "Uniform Act") on July 20, 1989 for the purpose of
acquiring and leasing to third parties a specified portfolio of used
commercial aircraft. Partners' capital initially consisted of contributions
of $1,000 from the General Partner (AFG Aircraft Management Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation) and $100 from the Initial Limited Partner (AFG
Assignor Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation). The Partnership issued
2,714,647 units, representing assignments of limited partnership interests
(the "Units"), to 4,192 investors. Unitholders and Limited Partners (other
than the Initial Limited Partner) are collectively referred to as Recognized
Owners. The General Partner is an affiliate of Equis Financial Group Limited
Partnership (formerly American Finance Group), a Massachusetts limited
partnership ("EFG"). The common stock of the General Partner is owned by
AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership. EFG and a wholly-owned affiliate are the
99% limited partners and AFG Programs, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation
which is wholly-owned by EFG, is the 1% general partner. The General Partner
is not required to make any other capital contributions except as may be
required under the Uniform Act and Section 6.1(b) of the Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as amended").

    (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

    The Partnership is engaged in only one industry segment: the business of
acquiring used commercial aircraft and leasing the aircraft to creditworthy
lessees on a full-payout or operating lease basis. (Full-payout leases are those
in which aggregate noncancellable rents equal or exceed the Purchase Price of
the aircraft. Operating leases are those in which the aggregate noncancellable
rental payments are less than the Purchase Price of the aircraft). Industry
segment data is not applicable.

    (c) Narrative Description of Business

    The Partnership was organized to acquire a specified portfolio of used
commercial jet aircraft subject to various full-payout and operating leases and
to lease the aircraft to third parties as income-producing investments. More
specifically, the Partnership's primary investment objectives are to acquire and
lease aircraft which will:

    1. Generate quarterly cash distributions;

    2. Preserve and protect invested capital; and

    3. Maintain substantial residual value for ultimate sale of the aircraft.

    The Partnership has the additional objective of providing certain federal
income tax benefits.

    The initial Interim Closing date of the Offering of Units of the Partnership
was May 17, 1990. The initial purchase of aircraft and the associated lease
commitments occurred on May 18, 1990. Additional purchases of aircraft (or
proportionate interests in aircraft) occurred at each of five subsequent Interim
Closings, the last of which occurred on June 28, 1991, the Final Closing. The
acquisitions of the Partnership's aircraft and the associated leases is
described in Note 3 to the financial statements included in Item 14, herein. The
Partnership will terminate no later than December 31, 2005.

    The Partnership has no employees; however, it entered into a Management
Agreement with AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership. At the same time, AF/AIP
Programs Limited Partnership entered into an identical Management Agreement with
EFG (the "Manager") (collectively, the "Management Agreement"). The Manager's
role, among other things, is to (i) evaluate, select, negotiate, and consummate
the acquisition of aircraft, (ii) manage the leasing, re-leasing, financing, and
refinancing of aircraft, and (iii) arrange the resale of aircraft. The Manager
is compensated for such services as described in the Restated Agreement, as
amended, in Item 13, herein and Note 4 to the financial statements included in
Item 14, herein.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

    The Partnership's investment in commercial aircraft is, and will continue to
be, subject to various risks, including physical deterioration, technological
obsolescence and defaults by lessees. A principal business risk of owning and
leasing aircraft is the possibility that aggregate lease revenues and aircraft
sale proceeds will be insufficient to provide an acceptable rate of return on
invested capital after payment of all operating expenses. Consequently, the
success of the Partnership is largely dependent upon the ability of the General
Partner and its Affiliates to forecast technological advances, the ability of
the lessees to fulfill their lease obligations and the quality and marketability
of the aircraft at the time of sale.

    In addition, the leasing industry is very competitive. Although all funds
available for acquisitions have been invested in aircraft, subject to
noncancellable lease agreements, the Partnership will encounter considerable
competition when the aircraft are re-leased or sold at the expiration of current
lease terms. The Partnership will compete with lease programs offered directly
by manufacturers and other equipment leasing companies, including lease programs
organized and managed similarly to the Partnership, and including other
EFG-sponsored partnerships and trusts, which may seek to re-lease or sell
aircraft within their own portfolios to the same customers as the Partnership.
Many competitors have greater financial resources and more experience than the
Partnership, the General Partner and the Manager.

    In recent years, market values for used commercial jet aircraft have
deteriorated. Consistent price competition and other pressures within the
airline industry have inhibited sustained profitability for many carriers. Most
major airlines have had to re-evaluate their aircraft fleets and operating
strategies. Such issues complicate the determination of net realizable value for
specific aircraft, and particularly used aircraft, because cost-benefit and
market considerations may differ significantly between the major airlines.
Aircraft condition, age passenger capacity, distance capability, fuel
efficiency, and other factors also influence market demand and market values for
passenger jet aircraft.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ultimate realization of residual value
for any aircraft is dependent upon many factors, including EFG's ability to sell
and re-lease the aircraft. Changes in market conditions, industry trends,
technological advances, and other events could converge to enhance or detract
from asset values at any given time. Accordingly, EFG will attempt to monitor
changes in the airline industry in order to identify opportunities which may be
advantageous to the Partnership and which will maximize total cash returns for
each aircraft.

    The General Partner will determine when each aircraft should be sold and the
terms of such sale based upon numerous factors with a view toward achieving the
investment objectives of the Partnership. The General Partner is authorized to
sell the aircraft prior to the expiration of the initial lease terms and intends
to monitor and evaluate the market for resale of the aircraft to determine
whether an aircraft should remain in the Partnership's portfolio or be sold. As
an alternative to sale, the Partnership may enter re-lease agreements when
considered advantageous by the General Partner and the Manager.

    Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of
lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 is
incorporated herein by reference to Note 2 to the financial statements in the
1996 Annual Report. Refer to Item 14(a)(3) for lease agreements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Default by a lessee under a lease may cause aircraft to be returned to the
Partnership at a time when the General Partner or the Manager is unable to
arrange for the re-lease or sale of such aircraft. This could result in the loss
of a material portion of anticipated revenues and significantly weaken the
Partnership's ability to recover the cost of invested capital.

    EFG is a Massachusetts limited partnership formerly known as American
Finance Group ("AFG"). AFG was established in 1988 as a Massachusetts general
partnership and succeeded American Finance Group, Inc., a Massachusetts
corporation organized in 1980. EFG and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") are engaged in various aspects of the equipment leasing business,
including EFG's role as Equipment Manager or Advisor to the Partnership and
several other Direct-Participation equipment leasing programs sponsored or
co-sponsored by EFG (the "Other Investment Programs"). The Company arranges to
broker or originate equipment leases, acts as remarketing agent and asset
manager, and provides leasing support services, such as billing, collecting, and
asset tracking.

<PAGE>

    The general partner of EFG, with a 1% controlling interest, is Equis
Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation owned and controlled entirely by
Gary D. Engle, its President and Chief Executive Officer. Equis Corporation
also owns a controlling 1% general partner interest in EFG's 99% limited
partner,     GDE Acquisition Limited Partnership ("GDE LP"). Equis
Corporation and GDE LP were established in December 1994 by Mr. Engle for the
sole purpose of acquiring the business of AFG.

    In January 1996, the Company sold certain assets of AFG relating
primarily to the business of originating new leases, and the name "American
Finance Group," and its acronym, to a third party (the "Buyer"). AFG changed
its name to Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership after the sale was
concluded. Pursuant to terms of the sale agreements, EFG agreed not to
compete with the Buyer's lease origination business for a period of five
years; however, EFG is permitted to originate certain equipment leases,
principally those involving non-investment grade lessees and ocean-going
vessels, which are not in competition with the Buyer. In addition, the sale
agreements specifically reserved to EFG the rights to continue using the name
American Finance Group and its acronym in connection with the Partnership and
the Other Investment Programs and to continue managing all assets owned by
the Partnership and the Other Investment Programs, including the right to
satisfy all required equipment acquisitions utilizing either brokers or the
Buyer. Geoffrey A. MacDonald, Chairman of Equis Corporation and Gary D. Engle
agreed not to compete with the sold business on terms and conditions similar
to those for the Company.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S SECURITIES AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER
  MATTERS.

    (a) Market Information

    There is no public market for the resale of the Units and it is not
anticipated that a public market for resale of the Units will develop.

    (b) Approximate Number of Security Holders

    At December 31, 1996, there were 3,946 recordholders of Units in the
Partnership.

    (c) Dividend History and Restrictions

    Pursuant to Article VI of the Restated Agreement, as amended, the
Partnership's Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From
Sales or Refinancings are determined and distributed to the Partners
quarterly. Each quarter's distribution may vary in amount. Distributions may
be made to the General Partner prior to the end of a fiscal quarter; however,
the amount of such distribution reflects only amounts to which the General
Partner is entitled at the time such Distribution is made. Currently, there
are no restrictions that materially limit the Partnership's ability to
distribute Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From
Sales or Refinancings or that the Partnership believes are likely to
materially limit the future distribution of Distributable Cash From
Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings. The Partnership
expects to continue to distribute all available Distributable Cash From
Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings on a quarterly
basis.

    Distributions declared in 1996 and 1995 were made as follows:

    Distributions payable at December 31, 1995 was $714,381.

    "Distributable Cash From Operations" means the net cash provided by the
Partnership's normal operations after general expenses and current
liabilities of the Partnership are paid, reduced by any reserves for working
capital and contingent liabilities to be funded from such cash, to the extent
deemed reasonable by the General Partner, and increased by any portion of
such reserves deemed by the General Partner not to be required for
Partnership operations and reduced by all accrued and unpaid Equipment
Management Fees and, after Payout, further reduced by all accrued and unpaid
Subordinated Remarketing Fees. Distributable Cash From Operations does not
include any Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings.

    "Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From Sales or
Refinancings as reduced by (i) (a) for a period of two years from Final
Closing, Cash From Sales or Refinancings, which the General Partner at its
sole discretion reinvests in additional aircraft, provided, however, that
Cash From Sales or Refinancings will be reinvested in additional aircraft
only if Partnership revenues are sufficient to make distributions to the
Recognized Owners in the amount of the income tax, if any, due from a
Recognized Owner in the 33% combined federal and state income tax bracket as
a result of such sale or refinancing of aircraft, and (b) amounts realized
from any loss or destruction of any aircraft which the General Partner
reinvests in replacement aircraft to be leased under the original lease of
the lost or destroyed aircraft, and (ii) any accrued and unpaid Equipment
Management Fees and, after Payout, any accrued and unpaid Subordinated
Remarketing Fees.

                                      -6-

    "Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means cash received by the Partnership
from Sale or Refinancing transactions, as (i) reduced by (a) all debts and
liabilities of the Partnership required to be paid as a result of Sale or
Refinancing transactions, whether or not then due and payable (including any
liabilities on aircraft sold which are not assumed by the buyer and any
remarketing fees required to be paid to persons not affiliated with the
General Partner, but not including any Subordinated Remarketing Fees required
to be paid) and (b) any reserves for working capital and contingent
liabilities funded from such cash to the extent deemed reasonable by the
General Partner and (ii) increased by any portion of such reserves deemed by
the General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations. In the
event the Partnership accepts a note in connection with any Sale or
Refinancing transaction, all payments subsequently received in cash by the
Partnership with respect to such note shall be included in Cash From Sales or
Refinancings, regardless of the treatment of such payments by the Partnership
for tax or accounting purposes. If the Partnership receives purchase money
obligations in payment for aircraft sold, which are secured by liens on such
aircraft, the amount of such obligations shall not be included in Cash From
Sales or Refinancings until the obligations are fully satisfied.

    Each distribution of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable
Cash From Sales or Refinancings of the Partnership shall be made as follows:
Prior to Payout, (i) Distributable Cash From Operations will be distributed
95% to the Recognized Owners and 5% to the General Partner and (ii)
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings shall be distributed 99% to the
Recognized Owners and 1% to the General Partner. After Payout, (i) all
Distributions will be distributed 99% to the General Partner and 1% to the
Recognized Owners until the General Partner has received an amount equal to
5% of all Distributions made by the Partnership and (ii) thereafter, all
Distributions will be made 90% to the Recognized Owners and 10% to the
General Partner.

    "Payout" is defined as the first time when the aggregate amount of all
distributions to the Recognized Owners of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the
Recognized Owners' original capital contributions plus a cumulative annual
return of 10% (compounded quarterly and calculated beginning with the last day
of the month of the Partnership's Closing Date) on their aggregate unreturned
capital contributions. For purposes of this definition, capital contributions
shall be deemed to have been returned only to the extent that distributions of
cash to the Recognized Owners exceed the amount required to satisfy the
cumulative annual return of 10% (compounded quarterly) on the Recognized Owners'
aggregate unreturned capital contributions, such calculation to be based on the
aggregate unreturned capital contributions outstanding on the first day of each
fiscal quarter.

    Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or
Refinancings ("Distributions") are distributed within 30 days after the
completion of each quarter, beginning with the first full fiscal quarter
following the Partnership's Closing Date. Each Distribution is described in a
statement sent to the Recognized Owners.
