                              and Subsidiaries
            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Boston Celtics Limited Partnership ("BCLP," the "Partnership")
and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and partnerships.

BCLP is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on April 13, 1998 in
connection with a reorganization of Boston Celtics Limited Partnership II
("BCLP II"). Pursuant to the reorganization of BCLP II (the
"Reorganization"), which was completed on June 30, 1998, BCLP owns a 99%
limited partnership interest in BCLP II. In addition, BCLP, through its
subsidiaries, holds certain investments, including a 48.3123% limited
partnership investment in Celtics Basketball Holdings, L.P., ("Celtics
Basketball Holdings") which, through Celtics Basketball, L.P. ("Celtics
Basketball"), its 99.999% subsidiary partnership, owns and operates the
Boston Celtics professional basketball team (the "Boston Celtics") of the
National Basketball Association (the "NBA"). BCLP's investment in Celtics
Basketball Holdings is accounted for on the equity method, and accordingly,
the investment is carried at cost, increased by equity in the earnings of
Celtics Basketball Holdings and reduced by distributions received.

Note 2 - The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-
Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a
fair presentation have been included therein. Operating results for interim
periods are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year. Such financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto of Boston Celtics
Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries included in the annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001 and the Form 10-Q for the three months
ended September 30, 2001.

Note 3 - The components of comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

Note 5 - On October 31, 2000, in order to achieve certain efficiencies, BCLP
II distributed to BCLP all of the outstanding capital stock of BCCLP Holding
Corporation ("BCCLP Holdings"), and BCLP assumed all of BCLP II's liability
for borrowings under its revolving credit agreement aggregating $50,000,000.
In December 2000, BCLP repaid the $50,000,000 of borrowings under the
revolving credit agreement that were assumed from BCLP II. In connection
with this distribution, BCLP II issued a note payable to BCLP II GP, Inc.,
its general partner, in the amount of $361,882, representing its 1% share of
the fair value of the distribution. The note accrued interest at 7%
annually, and was paid in full on June 26, 2001.

Note 6 - In July and August 1998, four separate class action complaints (the
"Complaints") were filed by Unitholders in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware in and for New Castle County against BCLP II, Celtics,
Inc., Paul E. Gaston, Don F. Gaston, Paula B. Gaston, John H.M. Leithead and
John B. Marsh III, each a director or former director of Celtics, Inc. The
named plaintiffs, each of whom purported to bring their individual actions
on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, are Kenneth L.
Rilander, Harbor Finance Partners, Maryann Kelly and Kathleen Kruse Perry.
Each of the Complaints alleges, among other things, that the Reorganization
was unfair to former BCLP II Unitholders, and seeks to recover an
unspecified amount of damages, including attorneys' and experts' fees and
expenses. The Partnership filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint filed by
Mr. Rilander on July 29, 1998, and discovery in that case has been stayed by
agreement of the parties. The Complaints have been consolidated. On August
6, 1999, the Court of Chancery issued an opinion granting in part, and
denying in part, the Partnership's Motion to Dismiss, and on September 3,
1999, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated Complaint. On October 1,
1999, the Partnership filed an answer to the Complaint.

Although the ultimate outcome of the Complaint cannot be determined at this
time, management of the Partnership does not believe that the outcome of
these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
financial position or results of operations.

                    BOSTON CELTICS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP II
                              and Subsidiaries
            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Boston Celtics Limited Partnership II ("BCLP II," the
"Partnership") and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and
partnerships. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Pursuant to a reorganization of its partnership structure that was completed
on June 30, 1998 (the "Reorganization"), the Partnership's name was changed
to Boston Celtics Limited Partnership II. As a result of the Reorganization,
the Partnership's 99% limited partnership interest is owned by Boston Celtics
Limited Partnership (a Delaware limited partnership) ("BCLP").

Prior to the Reorganization, BCLP II, through its subsidiaries, owned and
operated the Boston Celtics professional basketball team (the "Boston
Celtics") of the National Basketball Association (the "NBA") and held
investments. The Boston Celtics were owned by Celtics Limited Partnership
("CLP"), in which BCLP II has a 99% limited partnership interest.

Upon completion of the Reorganization, the Boston Celtics are owned and
operated by Celtics Basketball, L.P. ("Celtics Basketball"), a 99.999%
subsidiary of Celtics Basketball Holdings, L.P. ("Celtics Basketball
Holdings"). BCLP II, through its subsidiaries, holds certain investments,
including a 48.3123% limited partnership investment in Celtics Basketball
Holdings. Accordingly, BCLP II's interest in the accounts and operations of
the Boston Celtics is reflected in its investment in Celtics Basketball
Holdings, which is accounted for on the equity method. Accordingly, the
investment is carried at cost, increased by equity in the earnings of
Celtics Basketball Holdings and reduced by distributions received.

Note 2 - The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-
Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a
fair presentation have been included therein. Operating results for interim
periods are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year. Such financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto of BCLP II and
Subsidiaries included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2001 and the Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30,
2001.

Note 5 - On October 31, 2000, in order to achieve certain efficiencies, BCLP
II distributed to BCLP all of the outstanding capital stock of BCCLP Holding
Corporation ("BCCLP Holdings"), and BCLP assumed all of BCLP II's liability
for borrowings under its revolving credit agreement aggregating $50,000,000.
The net assets of BCCLP Holdings at the date of distribution amounted to
$87,629,000 and included, among other things, cash of $3,551,000, short-term
investments of $82,000,000, an amount receivable from Celtics Investments
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BCLP II, of $4,800,000, and deferred tax
liabilities of $2,899,000. In connection with this distribution, BCLP II
issued a note payable to BCLP II GP, Inc., its general partner, in the
amount of $361,882, representing its 1% share of the fair value of the
distribution. The note accrued interest at 7% annually, and was paid in full
on June 26, 2001.

Note 6 - In July and August 1998, four separate class action complaints (the
"Complaints") were filed by Unitholders in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware in and for New Castle County against BCLP II, Celtics,
Inc., Paul E. Gaston, Don F. Gaston, Paula B. Gaston, John H.M. Leithead and
John B. Marsh III, each a director or former director of Celtics, Inc. The
named plaintiffs, each of whom purported to bring their individual actions
on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, are Kenneth L.
Rilander, Harbor Finance Partners, Maryann Kelly and Kathleen Kruse Perry.
Each of the Complaints alleges, among other things, that the Reorganization
was unfair to former BCLP II Unitholders, and seeks to recover an
unspecified amount of damages, including attorneys' and experts' fees and
expenses. The Partnership filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint filed by
Mr. Rilander on July 29, 1998, and discovery in that case has been stayed by
agreement of the parties. The Complaints have been consolidated. On August
6, 1999, the Court of Chancery issued an opinion granting in part, and
denying in part, the Partnership's Motion to Dismiss, and on September 3,
1999, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated Complaint. On October 1,
1999, the Partnership filed an answer to the Complaint.

Although the ultimate outcome of the Complaint cannot be determined at this
time, management of the Partnership does not believe that the outcome of
these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements and information included herein are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the federal Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to prospective game,
broadcast and other revenues, expenses (including player and other team
costs), capital expenditures, tax burdens, earnings and distributions, and
expectations, intentions and strategies regarding the future. Such forward-
looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of
BCLP or BCLP II to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause BCLP's or BCLP II's financial
condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources to differ
materially include the competitive success of the Boston Celtics,
uncertainties as to increases in players' salaries and team expenses,
uncertainties relating to the impact of the escrow system as provided for in
the collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the NBA Players
Association, the Boston Celtics' ability to attract and retain talented
players, the risk of injuries to key players, uncertainties regarding media
contracts, the performance of certain investments by subsidiaries of the
Partnership and the extent to which the Partnership's subsidiaries generate,
and are able to distribute, operating cash flow.

General

BCLP accounts for its indirect investment in the accounts and operations of
the Boston Celtics using the equity method and, accordingly, its equity in
the net income (loss) of the Boston Celtics is reported on a single line
item in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Following is a
general description of certain matters related to the operations of the
Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics derive revenues principally from the sale of tickets to
home games and the licensing of television, cable network and radio rights.
The most significant expenses of the Boston Celtics are player and coaching
salaries. A large portion of the Boston Celtics' annual revenues and
operating expenses is determinable at the commencement of each basketball
season based on season ticket sales and the Boston Celtics' multi-year
contracts with its players, coaches and broadcast organizations.

The operations and financial results of the Boston Celtics are seasonal. On
a cash flow basis, the Boston Celtics receive a substantial portion of their
receipts from the advance sale of season tickets during the months of June
through October, prior to the commencement of the NBA regular season. Cash
receipts from playoff ticket sales are received in March of any year for
which the team qualifies for league playoffs. Most of the Boston Celtics'
operating expenses are incurred and paid during the regular season, which
normally extends from late October or early November through late April.

For financial reporting purposes the Boston Celtics recognize revenues and
expenses on a game-by-game basis. Because the NBA regular season normally
begins in late October or early November, the first fiscal quarter, which
ends on September 30, generally includes limited or no revenue and reflects
a net loss attributable to general and administrative expenses and selling
and promotional expenses incurred in the quarter. Based on the standard NBA
game schedule, the Boston Celtics historically recognize approximately one-
third of its annual regular season revenue in the second fiscal quarter,
approximately one-half of such revenue in the third fiscal quarter and the
remainder in the fourth fiscal quarter, and recognize its playoff revenue,
if any, in the fourth fiscal quarter. Accordingly, BCLP's and BCLP II's
equity in the net income (loss) of Celtics Basketball Holdings, which
indirectly owns and operates the Boston Celtics, will generally result in a
loss in its first fiscal quarter, income in its second and third fiscal
quarters and a loss in its fourth fiscal quarter unless there is significant
income from playoff revenues.

Results of Operations

The following discussion compares the operating results of BCLP and its
subsidiaries for the six and three months ended December 31, 2001 with the
six and three months ended December 31, 2000.

Equity in net income of Celtics Basketball Holdings, L.P. represents BCLP's
48.3% interest in the net income of the entity that indirectly owns and
operates the Boston Celtics. The Boston Celtics recognize revenues and
expenses on a game-by-game basis, and the NBA regular season normally begins
in late October or early November. As a result, Celtics Basketball Holdings'
first fiscal quarter, which ends on September 30, generally includes limited
or no revenue and reflects a net loss attributable to general and
administrative expenses and selling and promotional expenses incurred in the
quarter. BCLP's equity in the net income of Celtics Basketball Holdings
amounted to $1,988,000 and $3,437,000 in the six and three months ended
December 31, 2001, respectively, as compared to income of $291,000 and
$1,665,000 in the six and three months ended December 31, 2000,
respectively. The increases in the six and three months ended December 31,
2001 are primarily a result of increased television revenues and decreased
team expenses, including the anticipated impact of proceeds from the escrow
system as provided for in the collective bargaining agreement between the
NBA and the NBA Players Association.

BCLP's general and administrative expenses of $1,785,000 in the six months
ended December 31, 2001 decreased by $1,999,000 compared to $3,784,000 in
the six months ended December 31, 2000, and general and administrative
expenses of $1,174,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2001 decreased
by $1,613,000 compared to $2,787,000 in the three months ended December 31,
2000. The decreases were primarily attributable to the provision for certain
non-recurring expenses in the six months ended December 31, 2000, including
professional expenses ($1,333,000) associated with, among other things, BCLP
II's distribution of its investment in BCCLP Holding Corporation ("BCCLP
Holdings") and $50,000,000 of borrowings under its revolving credit
agreement (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below) and the payment of a
non-recurring sales tax at one of BCLP's subsidiary partnerships ($325,000).
Additionally, the decreases in BCLP's general and administrative expenses
were attributable to decreased personnel expenses.

BCLP II's general and administrative expenses of $109,000 in the six months
ended December 31, 2001 decreased by $2,446,000 compared to $2,555,000 in
the six months ended December 31, 2000, and general and administrative
expenses of $46,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2001 decreased by
$1,899,000 compared to $1,945,000 in the three months ended December 31,
2000. BCLP II's general and administrative expenses in the six and three
months ended December 31, 2000 included $2,058,000 and $1,830,000,
respectively, related to BCCLP Holdings and CCC. As more fully described in
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, effective October 31, 2000, BCLP II
distributed to BCLP all of the outstanding capital stock of BCCLP Holdings,
and, as a result, the results of operations of BCCLP Holdings and CCC are
currently not consolidated with those of BCLP II. In addition, the decrease
in BCLP II's general and administrative expenses was attributable to the
provision for the non-recurring sales tax in the six months ended December
31, 2000 as described in the preceding paragraph.

Interest expense of $2,210,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2001
decreased by $1,755,000 compared to $3,965,000 in the six months ended
December 31, 2000, and interest expense of $1,104,000 in the three months
ended December 31, 2001 decreased by $787,000 compared to $1,891,000 in the
three months ended December 31, 2000. The decreases in the six and three
months ended December 31, 2001 are primarily attributable to a decrease in
borrowings under BCLP's revolving credit agreement with its commercial bank.
As more fully described in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below,
$50,000,000 of borrowings under BCLP's revolving credit agreement was repaid
in December 2000.

BCLP's interest income of $553,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2001
decreased by $2,362,000 compared to $2,915,000 in the six months ended
December 31, 2000, and interest income of $234,000 in the three months ended
December 31, 2001 decreased by $1,151,000 compared to $1,385,000 in the three
months ended December 31, 2000. The decreases in the six and three months
ended December 31, 2001 are primarily attributable to a decrease in invested
balances, combined with lower interest rates on investments. As more fully
described in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, $50,000,000 of short-
term investments were liquidated in December 2000 to repay borrowings under
BCLP's revolving credit agreement. BCLP's interest income in the six and
three months ended December 31, 2001 included $527,000 and $213,000,
respectively, related to BCCLP Holdings and CCC, and BCLP's interest income
in the six and three months ended December 31, 2000 included $842,000 related
to BCCLP Holdings and CCC. Effective October 31, 2000, the operating results
of BCCLP Holdings and CCC are not consolidated with those of BCLP II.


<PAGE>  12


BCLP's provision for income taxes relates to BCLP's subsidiary corporations.
Effective November 1, 2000, certain of BCLP's subsidiary corporations began
filing tax returns consolidated with those of BCLP. As a result, income
earned by BCLP's subsidiary corporations subsequent to November 1, 2000 is
offset by losses of BCLP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

BCLP used approximately $1,846,000 in cash flows from operating activities in
the six months ended December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership
had approximately $7,905,000 of available cash and $28,100,000 of other
short-term investments. In addition to these amounts, sources of funds
available to the Partnership include funds generated by operations and
distributions from Celtics Basketball Holdings, which through a subsidiary
owns and operates the Boston Celtics. These resources may be used to repay
commercial bank borrowings and for general partnership purposes, working
capital needs or for possible investments and/or acquisitions.

On May 20, 1998, BCLP II entered into a $60,000,000 revolving credit
agreement with its commercial bank. Interest on advances under the revolving
credit agreement accrues at BCLP II's option of either LIBOR plus 0.70% or
the greater of the bank's Base Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus
0.50%. The revolving credit agreement is secured by a pledge of certain
short-term investments of Celtics Capital Corporation, an indirect
subsidiary of BCLP. BCLP II borrowed $30,000,000 under the revolving credit
agreement in fiscal 1998, and borrowed an additional $22,500,000 in fiscal
1999 and $7,500,000 in fiscal 2000. As a result, at June 30, 2000,
$60,000,000 was outstanding under the revolving credit agreement.

On October 31, 2000, in order to achieve certain efficiencies, BCLP II
distributed to BCLP all of the outstanding capital stock of BCCLP Holdings,
and BCLP assumed all of BCLP II's liability for borrowings under its
revolving credit agreement aggregating $50,000,000. As a result, effective
October 31, 2000, BCCLP Holdings is a direct subsidiary of BCLP. In December
2000, BCCLP Holdings, through CCC, liquidated $50,000,000 of short-term
investments and distributed the proceeds to BCLP. BCLP used those proceeds to
repay the $50,000,000 of borrowings under the revolving credit agreement that
were assumed from BCLP II. In connection with this distribution, BCLP II
issued a note payable to BCLP II GP, Inc., its general partner, in the
amount of $361,882, representing its 1% share of the fair value of the
distribution. The note accrued interest at 7% annually, and was paid in full
on June 26, 2001.

As a result, borrowings under the revolving credit agreement amounted to
$10,000,000 at December 31, 2001. On May 10, 2001, the revolving credit
agreement was amended to reduce the amount of borrowings available under the
Agreement to $10,000,000. The agreement expires on June 30, 2003. Management
anticipates that amounts advanced under the revolving credit agreement will
be repaid by BCLP II out of cash flows, principally distributions from
Celtics Basketball Holdings.

In November 2000, in order to fix the interest rate on the borrowings under
the revolving credit agreement, BCLP II entered into an interest rate cap
agreement with a notional amount of $10,000,000, expiring in May 2002. The
interest rate cap agreement provides for the payment of interest at a fixed
interest rate of 6.65%. The interest rate differential is recognized as an
adjustment to interest expense.

BCLP II has outstanding 6% subordinated debentures due on June 30, 2038. The
subordinated debentures were recorded at $12.20 per debenture, the fair
market value at date of issue, or $32,984,700. The original issue discount
of $21,088,580 is being amortized over the 40-year life of the debentures
using the interest method and, accordingly, the subordinated debentures are
carried on the balance sheet at $34,422,684 at December 31, 2001. The
subordinated debentures bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum, payable
annually on June 30, and mature on June 30, 2038 at an aggregate principal
amount of $54,073,280. There are no mandatory redemption or sinking fund
requirements with respect to the subordinated debentures.

In the six months ended December 31, 2001, BCLP and its subsidiaries
received distributions from Celtics Basketball Holdings aggregating
$4,831,000. Future distributions from Celtics Basketball Holdings will be
determined by Boston Celtics Corporation, the general partner of Celtics
Basketball Holdings, in its sole discretion subject to applicable credit
agreements and based, among other things, on available resources and the
needs of Celtics Basketball Holdings and Celtics Basketball, the ability of
Celtics Basketball Holdings and Celtics Basketball to generate sufficient
operating cash flow, and the funds available after debt service payments
related to Celtics Basketball's revolving credit agreement with its
commercial bank.


<PAGE>  13


No cash distributions to unitholders of BCLP were declared or paid during
the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Future distributions will be
determined by BCLP GP, Inc., the general partner of BCLP, in its sole
discretion based, among other things, on available resources and the needs
of BCLP, the ability of BCLP's subsidiaries to generate sufficient operating
cash flow, and the funds available after debt service payments related to
the revolving credit agreement with its commercial bank and the subordinated
debentures.

Management believes that BCLP's cash, cash equivalents and other short-term
investments together with cash from operating activities and distributions
from Celtics Basketball Holdings will provide adequate cash for BCLP and its
subsidiaries to meet their cash requirements through December 31, 2002.

ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

At December 31, 2001, BCLP had invested approximately $28,100,000 in loan
participations issued by a commercial bank with maturities of less than
ninety days. Due to their short maturities and applicable transfer
restrictions, management believes that the loan participations are not
exposed to market risk. Management further believes that the partnership has
no other assets that are subject to significant market risk.

In November 2000, in order to fix the interest rate on the borrowings under
the revolving credit agreement, BCLP II entered into an interest rate cap
agreement. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources." As a result, fluctuations
in interest rates will have no effect on interest expense, or on the
earnings or cash flows of BCLP II. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest
rates would not materially affect the fair value of the interest rate cap
agreement.
