           Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund II Limited Partnership

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            September 30, 1996  
                                (Unaudited)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION
     
Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund II Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was
formed under the laws of the State of Delaware as of June 28, 1989, for the
purpose of acquiring, holding, and disposing of limited partnership interests
in operating partnerships which will acquire, develop, rehabilitate, operate
and own newly constructed, existing or rehabilitated low-income apartment
complexes ("Operating Limited Partnerships").  The general partner of the
Partnership is Boston Capital Associates II Limited Partnership and the
limited partner is BCTC II Assignor Corp. (the "Assignor Limited Partner").

Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Partnership filed a Form S-11
Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective
October 25, 1989, which covered the offering (the "Public Offering") of the
Partnership's beneficial assignee certificates ("BACs") representing
assignments of units of the beneficial interest of the limited partnership
interest of the Assignor Limited Partner.  The Partnership registered
20,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in six series.  The
Partnership sold 1,036,100 of Series 7 BACs, 4,178,029 of Series 9 BACs,
2,428,925 of Series 10 BACs, 2,489,599 of Series 11 BACs, 2,972,795 of Series
12 BACs, and 5,574,290 of Series 14 BACs.  In 1991, when BACs were offered
and sold to certain residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, provisions
of Section 201 of the Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 relating to the
registration of securities may not have been complied with, in connection
with, the offer or sale of some of the securities.  Accordingly the

months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 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.

The variance in allowable loss from the Operating Partnerships for the six
months ended June 30, 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

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

The Partnership's taxable loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 is
expected to differ from its loss for financial reporting purposes primarily
due to accounting differences in depreciation incurred by the Operating
Partnerships.  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 and assignees 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 include (i) interest earned on capital
contributions unpaid as of September 30, 1996 or on working capital reserves
and (ii) cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships in
which the Partnership has invested in.  These sources of liquidity, along with
the Partnerships working capital reserve, are available to meet the
obligations of the Partnership.  The Partnership does not anticipate
significant cash distributions from operations of the Operating Partnerships. 

The Partnership is currently accruing the annual partnership management fee.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such liabilities will be deferred until
the Partnership receives sales or refinancing proceeds from Operating
Partnerships, and at that time proceeds from such sales or refinancing will be
used to satisfy such liabilities.  The Partnership anticipates that there
will be sufficient cash to meet future third party obligations.

An affiliate of the general partner has advanced $46,900 to the Partnership to
pay certain third party operating expenses.  This amount has been advanced
solely to Series 7.  These and any additional advances will be paid, without
interest, from available cash flow, reporting fees, or the proceeds of the
sales of refinancing of the Partnership's interest 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 pursuing, and will continue to pursue, available cash
flow and reporting fees and anticipates that the amount collected will be
sufficient to cover third party operating expenses.

Results of Operations
---------------------
As of September 30, 1996 and 1995 the Partnership held limited partnership
interests in 310 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.

The Partnership incurs a partnership management fee to Boston Capital
Asset Management Limited Partnership (formerly Boston Capital Communications
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 asset management and reporting fees paid by the
Operating Partnerships. The annual partnership management fee is currently
being accrued.  It is anticipated that all outstanding fees will be repaid
from the sale or refinancing proceeds.   The partnership management fee
incurred for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $593,830 and
$586,258, respectively.  The amount is anticipated to decrease in subsequent
future periods as the Operating Partnerships begin to pay annual asset
management and reporting fees to the partnership.  

The Partnership's investment objectives do not include receipt of significant
cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in which it has invested or
intends to invest.  The Partnership's investments in Operating Partnerships
have been and will be made principally with a view towards realization of
Federal Housing Tax Credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.  

The General Partner and it's affiliate, Boston Capital Asset Management
Limited Partnership, monitors the operations of all the properties in the 
Partnership.  The Operating Partnerships that are mentioned in the following
discussion of each series' results of operations are being closely monitored
so as to improve the overall results of each series' operations.

(Series 7)  As of September 30, 1996 and 1995, the average Qualified Occupancy
for the series was 100% for both years.  The series had a total of 15
properties at September 30, 1996. 

For the six months being reported the series reflects a net loss from the
Operating Partnerships of $489,006. When adjusted for depreciation, which is a
non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect positive operations of
$18,858.  This is an interim period estimate; it is not necessarily indicative
of the final year end results.

Rosenberg Building Associates' most recent principal payment due on the first
mortgage created financial stress on the partnership.  To resolve this, the 
Operating General Partner refinanced the first mortgage.  The refinancing 
resulted in lower debt service payments, allowing the property to operate
above breakeven.

                                   45


(Series 9)  As of September 30, 1996 and 1995, the average Qualified Occupancy
for the series was 99.8% and 99.4%, respectively.  The series had a total of
55 properties at September 30, 1996.  Out of the total, 52 were at 100%
Qualified Occupancy.  

For the six months being reported the series reflects a net loss from the

California Investors VII Limited Partnership has negotiated a debt
refinancing.  The Operating Partnership was operating at a deficit due to 
higher than projected operating expenses.  Operating shortfalls caused the
accrual of accounts payable.  The Operating General Partner has been working
with the first mortgage lender to obtain a waiver of the prepayment penalty to
allow for a refinancing.  The first mortgagee recently agreed to this waiver
of the prepayment.  The current interest rate climate enabled the Operating 
Partnership to obtain a refinancing rate that allowed for the payoff of the
accrued accounts payable and reduced the monthly debt payment.
