            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 subsidiary corporations and
partnerships.

BCLP (formerly "Boston Celtics Limited Partnership II") is a Delaware
limited partnership that was formed on April 13, 1998 in connection with a
reorganization of Boston Celtics Limited Partnership II (formerly "Boston
Celtics Limited Partnership") ("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.

BCLP held no material assets and was not engaged in operations from its date
of formation until the completion of the Reorganization on June 30, 1998.
Upon completion of the Reorganization, 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, effected by equity in income or loss 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, 1999 and the Forms 10-Q for the quarters
ended September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999.

Note 3 - BCLP, through its subsidiary partnerships and corporations, owns a
48.3123% limited partnership interest in Celtics Basketball Holdings. BCLP's
investment in Celtics Basketball Holdings is accounted for on the equity
method. Summary statement of operations data for Celtics Basketball Holdings
for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 is as follows:

Note 4 - BCLP is a partnership that is taxed as a corporation. The condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operating results
of wholly owned subsidiary corporations that file tax returns separate from
those of BCLP. As a result, income of those subsidiary corporations can not
be offset by losses of BCLP. Aggregate pre-tax income of BCLP's wholly owned
taxable subsidiary corporations amounted to $2,508,000 in the nine months
ended March 31, 2000.

Note 5 - At March 31, 2000, BCLP II had an amount due from BCLP in the
amount of $3,451,231. Effective March 31, 2000, BCLP II made a non-cash
distribution of this receivable to BCLP, and recorded a cash distribution
payable in the amount of $34,861 to BCLP II GP, Inc., its general partner,
representing its 1% share of the total distribution.

Note 6 - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended, which is required to be adopted in years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Because of the Partnership's minimal use of derivatives,
management does not anticipate that the adoption of the new Statement will
have a significant effect on earnings or the financial position of the
Partnership.

Note 7 - The following table sets forth the computation of income (loss) per
unit:

                    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 subsidiary corporations
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 formed in April 1998)
("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, effective June 30, 1998, 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, effected by equity in income
or loss 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 II and Subsidiaries included in the annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999 and the Forms 10-Q for the quarters
ended September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999.

Note 3 - BCLP II, through its subsidiary partnerships and corporations, owns
a 48.3123% limited partnership interest in Celtics Basketball Holdings. BCLP
II's investment in Celtics Basketball Holdings is accounted for on the
equity method. Summary statement of operations data for Celtics Basketball
Holdings for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 is as
follows:

Note 4 - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts and operating results of wholly owned subsidiary corporations that
file tax returns separate from those of BCLP II. As a result, income of
those subsidiary corporations can not be offset by losses of BCLP II.
Aggregate pre-tax income of BCLP II's wholly owned taxable subsidiary
corporations amounted to $2,508,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2000.

Note 5 - At March 31, 2000, BCLP II had an amount due from BCLP in the
amount of $3,451,231. Effective March 31, 2000, BCLP II made a non-cash
distribution of this receivable to BCLP, and recorded a cash distribution
payable in the amount of $34,861 to BCLP II GP, Inc., its general partner,
representing its 1% share of the total distribution.

Note 6 - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended, which is required to be adopted in years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Because of the Partnership's minimal use of derivatives,
management does not anticipate that the adoption of the new Statement will
have a significant effect on earnings or the financial position of the
Partnership.

                     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), estimates of future impacts of the player lockout, 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 the
Partnership to be materially different from any future results, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause the Partnership's financial condition, results of
operation, liquidity and capital resources to differ materially include the
continuing effects of the player lockout and cancellation of 32 regular
season games in the 1998-99 season as a result of the lockout, the impact of
the lockout on television and other revenues, the competitive success of the
Boston Celtics, uncertainties as to increases in players' salaries, the
Boston Celtics' ability to attract and retain talented players, the risk of
injuries to key players, uncertainties regarding ticket sales and revenues
and media contracts and the performance of certain investments by
subsidiaries of the Partnership.

Collective Bargaining Agreement

In March 1998 the Board of Governors of the National Basketball Association
("NBA") exercised its right to terminate the collective bargaining agreement
between the NBA and the NBA Players Association ("NBPA"), and effective July
1, 1998, the NBA commenced a lockout of NBA players in support of its
attempt to reach a new collective bargaining agreement.

On January 20, 1999, the NBA and the NBPA entered into a New Collective
Bargaining Agreement, thereby ending the lockout. The New Collective
Bargaining Agreement is to be in effect through June 30, 2004, and the NBA
has an option to extend it for one year thereafter. As a result of the
lockout, the 1998-99 NBA regular season consisted of 50 games per team (25
of which were home games), beginning in early February 1999. Ordinarily, the
NBA regular season consists of 82 games per team (41 of which are home
games), and generally begins in late October or early November. Further, as
provided under the terms of the New Collective Bargaining Agreement, NBA
teams were only required to pay 50/82 of each player's salary with respect
to the 1998-99 regular season. Previously, an independent arbitrator ruled
that NBA teams, including the Boston Celtics, were not required to pay
player salaries during the lockout.

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 income (loss) of the Boston Celtics is reported on a single line item in
its Condensed Consolidated Statement 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 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.

Given the lockout, however, the cancellation of 32 regular season games and
the reduced number of games in the revised 1998-99 NBA schedule, Celtics
Basketball recognized approximately 61% of its 1998-99 regular season
revenue in the third fiscal quarter and approximately 39% of such revenue in
the fourth fiscal quarter. Accordingly, BCLP's and BCLP II's equity in the
income (loss) of Celtics Basketball Holdings resulted in losses in the first
and second fiscal quarters of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999 and
income in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1999. Given the uncertainty of the impact on revenue and expenses
of the lockout, canceled games and the shortened 1998-99 NBA season, there
can be no assurance that BCLP's and BCLP II's equity in the income (loss) of
Celtics Basketball Holdings will not result in further losses in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2000, and beyond.

Results of Operations

The following discussion compares the operating results of BCLP and its
subsidiaries for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2000 with the
nine and three months ended March 31, 1999.

General and administrative expenses of $2,832,000 in the nine months ended
March 31, 2000 decreased by $286,000 compared to $3,118,000 in the nine
months ended March 31, 1999, and general and administrative expenses of
$796,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased by $127,000
compared to $923,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decreases
were primarily attributable to decreased professional expenses.

Equity in income (loss) of Celtics Basketball Holdings, L.P. represents
BCLP's 48.3% interest in the income (loss) of the entity that indirectly owns
and operates the Boston Celtics. BCLP's equity in the income of Celtics
Basketball Holdings amounted to $3,557,000 and $3,551,000 in the nine and
three months ended March 31, 2000, respectively, as compared to a loss of
$994,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and income of $3,378,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 1999. 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. As a result of the lockout, however, the 1998-99
NBA regular season began in February 1999, and accordingly, BCLP's equity in
its interest in Celtics Basketball Holdings resulted in losses in the six
and three months ended December 31, 1998 and income in the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The 1999-2000 NBA regular season began in early
November 1999, and accordingly, BCLP's equity in its interest in Celtics
Basketball Holdings resulted in a loss in the three months ended September
30, 1999, and income in the three month periods ended December 31, 1999 and
March 31, 2000.

Interest expense of $5,177,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2000
increased by $172,000 compared to $5,005,000 in the nine months ended March
31, 1999, and interest expense of $1,752,000 in the three months ended March
31, 2000 increased by $130,000 compared to $1,622,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to increased
borrowings under BCLP II's revolving credit agreement. This increase was
partially offset by the effect of the September 30, 1998 repayment of notes
payable to a former principal unitholder. The notes were repaid with proceeds
from BCLP II's revolving credit agreement with its commercial bank, which
accrues interest at a lower effective rate.

Interest income of $3,839,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2000
increased by $438,000 compared to $3,401,000 in the nine months ended March
31, 1999, and interest income of $1,393,000 in the three months ended March
31, 2000 increased by $384,000 compared to $1,009,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase
in funds available for investment combined with an increase in the effective
rates of interest earned on those investments.

BCLP II recorded an extraordinary charge in the three months ended September
30, 1998 related to the early retirement of notes payable to a former
principal unitholder relating to redeemed BCLP II units. The notes payable to
the former principal unitholder had an aggregate initial face amount of
$14,365,096. The notes, which were due and payable on July 1, 2000, also
provided that the amounts to be paid to such unitholder were to be increased
by specified amounts on each July 1 during their term. If the principal
unitholder held the notes until July 1, 2000, he would have been entitled to
receive aggregate payments (excluding interest) in the amount of
$20,044,320. Each of the notes bore interest payable quarterly at the rate
of 7.76% per annum. At September 30, 1998, BCLP II repaid the notes payable,
which had an aggregate balance, including scheduled increases in the note
balances, of $17,538,780. The notes payable were repaid in the amount of
$19,794,320, resulting in an extraordinary charge of $2,255,540 related to
early retirement of notes payable.

BCLP's provision for income taxes of $1,200,000 relates to BCLP's subsidiary
corporations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

BCLP used approximately $2,741,000 in cash flows from operating activities in
the nine months ended March 31, 2000. At March 31, 2000 the Partnership had
approximately $2,679,000 of available cash and $84,900,000 of other short-
term investments. In addition to these amounts, sources of funds available
to the Partnership include funds generated by operations, unused portions of
credit facilities with its commercial bank, 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 expires on June 30, 2003 and is
secured by a pledge of certain short-term investments of Celtics Capital
Corporation, an indirect subsidiary of BCLP and BCLP II. At March 31, 2000,
$57,000,000 was outstanding under the revolving credit agreement, $7,000,000
of which is payable on June 30, 2000 and $50,000,000 of which is payable
upon the maturity of the agreement. 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 connection with the Reorganization, BCLP II distributed 6% subordinated
debentures to certain former holders of BCLP II units. One $20 face value
subordinated debenture was distributed for each of the 2,703,664 BCLP II
units with respect to which a BCLP II Unitholder elected to receive
subordinated debentures, cash and BCLP units in the Reorganization. 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 $33,688,006 at March 31, 2000. The
subordinated debentures bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum, payable
annually commencing June 30, 1999, and mature on June 30, 2038. There is no
mandatory redemption of the subordinated debentures, and they are not
entitled to any sinking fund.

No cash distributions to unitholders of BCLP were declared or paid during
the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. 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 the Partnership, 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, distributions from
Celtics Basketball Holdings and unused portions of credit facilities will
provide adequate cash for the Partnership and its subsidiaries to meet their
cash requirements through March 31, 2001.

Market Risk

At March 31, 2000, BCLP had invested approximately $84,900,000 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 market risk.

Year 2000

The inability of computers, software and other equipment utilizing
microprocessors to recognize and properly process data fields containing a
two-digit year is commonly referred to as the Year 2000 compliance issue.
Such systems may be unable to accurately process certain date-based
information in the Year 2000. As used by the Partnership, "Year 2000 ready"
means that a system will function in the year 2000 without modification or
adjustment, or with a one-time manual adjustment.

In prior filings, the Partnership discussed the nature and progress of its
plans to become Year 2000 ready. In late 1999, the Partnership completed its
remediation and testing of systems. As a result of those planning and
implementation efforts, the Partnership experienced no significant
disruptions in mission critical information technology and non-information
technology systems and believes those systems successfully responded to the
Year 2000 date change. The Partnership has not spent a material amount to
remediate Year 2000 problems and does not anticipate that it will spend a
material amount to remediate Year 2000 problems in the future. The
Partnership is not aware of any material problems resulting from Year 2000
issues, either with its internal systems or the products and services of
third parties. The Partnership will continue to monitor its mission critical
computer applications and those of its suppliers and vendors throughout the
year 2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are
addressed promptly.


                         Part II - Other Information


ITEM 1

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, who each 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 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.
