3 Annual Report
Chairman’s Message
(photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind every one where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so called “market timing” activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that some one could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/ Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report 4
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

| $10,000 Over Life of Fund
|
Let’s say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Mid Cap II Class T on August 12, 2004, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor’s® MidCap 400 Index performed over the same period.
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Thomas Allen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Mid Cap II Fund
U.S. equity benchmarks generally had positive results for the 12 months ending Decem ber 31, 2005, the third consecutive year that stocks finished in the black. Energy and utilities were the two best performing sectors, contributing greatly to the 4.91% gain of the Standard & Poor’s 500SM Index. Elsewhere, the NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 2.13%, while the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 1.72% . The U.S. economy did not decelerate as much as many had predicted, despite eight short term interest rate hikes, record high energy prices and the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. Meanwhile, corporate America notched its 14th consecutive quarter of double digit earnings gains through the third quarter of the year, an unprecedented streak in market history. From a style perspec tive, large cap stocks ended the six year reign of small caps by a narrow margin, but mid caps finished well ahead of both categories. The gap between growth and value stocks also was relatively narrow, with value gaining a slight edge.
During the past year, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 17.21%, 16.87%, 16.34% and 16.25%, respectively (excluding sales charges), compared with 12.56% for the Standard & Poor’s® MidCap 400 Index and 9.67% for the LipperSM Mid Cap Funds Average. Most of the outperformance relative to the index came from a significant overweighting in energy, along with effective stock picking in the sector. Also aiding the fund’s performance was timely stock selection in financials and materials. Valero Energy was the fund’s top contributor both in absolute terms and compared with the index. The crude oil refiner benefited from strong demand and limited industrywide refining capacity. Southwestern Energy, an exploration and production company, was aided by some natural gas discoveries that significantly boosted its reserves. Within technology, Apple Computer was a standout, spurred by robust sales of the iPod, the company’s personal digital media player. Conversely, Symbol Technologies, a maker of bar code scanners, was the fund’s largest detractor both in absolute terms and versus the index. Lackluster sales growth derailed the stock, and I sold it before period end. Household and personal products marketer Avon Products also had a negative impact on the fund’s results, primarily because of its disappointing sales growth in the United States and abroad. In absolute terms, currency fluctuations particularly the depreciation of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar acted as a mild head wind given the fund’s significant foreign exposure.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b 1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005).
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap II Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require manage ment to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open end mutual funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of
1. Significant Accounting Policies continued |
Security Valuation continued | | |
the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securi ties markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the perfor mance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange traded funds. Because the fund’s utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used can not be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are trans lated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of invest ment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transac tion date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex dividend date. Non cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund esti mates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as “Special Dividends” and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each fund in the trust.

1. Significant Accounting Policies continued |
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distribu tions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book tax differences are primarily due to short term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | | | $ | 106,523,073 | | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | | (12,451,265) | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) . | | | | 94,071,808 | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | | 1,518,636 | | | | |
Undistributed long term capital gain | | | | 1,291,267 | | | | |
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | | $ | 726,685,079 | | | | |
|
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows: | | | | |
| | | | December 31, 2005 | | | | December 31, 2004 |
Ordinary Income | | | $ | 904,193 | | | $ | — |
Long term Capital Gains | | | | 1,637,320 | | | | — |
Total | | | $ | 2,541,513 | | | $ | — |
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non government securities. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $990,754,388 and $459,462,141, respectively. The Fund realized a loss on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the fund. The loss was fully reimbursed by the Fund’s investment advisor.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment manage ment related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The manage ment fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund’s average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual man agement fee rate was .57% of the fund’s average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b 1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class’ average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the

Sales Load. FDC receives a front end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermedi aries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and ..25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows: | | | | |
| | | | Retained |

Class T | | | | 96,062 |
Class B* | | | | 41,444 |
Class C* | | | | 15,653 |
| | | $ | 692,165 |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates continued
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servic ing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of share holder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:

Institutional Class | | | | 225,036 | | .32 |
| | | $ | 1,348,073 | | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund’s accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Affiliated Central Funds. The fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Invest ments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $34,431 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
|
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the “line of credit”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund share holder redemptions or for other short term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
41 Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements continued |
6. Security Lending. | | |
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $73,374.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:
| | Expense | | | | Reimbursement |
| | Limitations | | | | from adviser |
Class A | | 1.30% - 1.25%* | | | $ | 74,759 |
Class B | | 2.05% - 2.00%* | | | | 30,421 |
Class C | | 2.05% - 2.00%* | | | | 32,777 |
Institutional Class | | 1.05% - 1.00%* | | | | 28,342 |
| | | | | | | | | $ | 166,299 |
* Expense limitation in effect at period end. | | | | | | | | | | |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $322,652 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, credits realized as a result of unin vested cash balances were used to reduce the fund’s expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund’s custody expenses by $92.
The fund’s organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the perfor mance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum expo sure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is consid ered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap II Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap II Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and from August 12, 2004 (commencement of operations) to Decem ber 31, 2004. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures in cluded confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap II Fund as of December 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the year then ended, and from August 12, 2004 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

57 Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Advisor Mid Cap II Fund
Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such com mittee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ulti mately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fidu ciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its
prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board consid ered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discus sions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ invest ment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and manage ment personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24 hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
59 Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees continued
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment grade taxable bond funds.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. The Board noted that it is not possible to evaluate performance in any comprehensive fashion because the fund had been in operation for less than one calendar year. Once the fund has been in operation for at least one calendar year, the Board will review the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad based securities market index and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board.
The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups”
of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee charac teristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s manage ment fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the period of the fund’s operations shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 15% means that 85% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
61 Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees continued
The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the period.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund paid 12b 1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B and Class C ranked below its competitive median for the period, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for the period. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b 1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b 1 fees, although differ ences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, market ing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitabil ity methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non fund businesses and any fall out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
63 Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees continued
The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s manage ment increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) com pensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message
(photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind every one where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so called “market timing” activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that some one could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/ Edward C. Johnson 3d

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Thomas Allen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Mid Cap II Fund
U.S. equity benchmarks generally had positive results for the 12 months ending Decem ber 31, 2005, the third consecutive year that stocks finished in the black. Energy and utilities were the two best performing sectors, contributing greatly to the 4.91% gain of the Standard & Poor’s 500SM Index. Elsewhere, the NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 2.13%, while the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 1.72% . The U.S. economy did not decelerate as much as many had predicted, despite eight short term interest rate hikes, record high energy prices and the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. Meanwhile, corporate America notched its 14th consecutive quarter of double digit earnings gains through the third quarter of the year, an unprecedented streak in market history. From a style perspec tive, large cap stocks ended the six year reign of small caps by a narrow margin, but mid caps finished well ahead of both categories. The gap between growth and value stocks also was relatively narrow, with value gaining a slight edge.
During the past year, the fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 17.43%, compared with 12.56% for the Standard & Poor’s® MidCap 400 Index and 9.67% for the LipperSM Mid Cap Funds Average. Most of the outperformance relative to the index came from a significant overweighting in energy, along with effective stock picking in the sector. Also aiding the fund’s performance was timely stock selection in financials and materials. Valero Energy was the fund’s top contributor both in absolute terms and compared with the index. The crude oil refiner benefited from strong demand and limited industrywide refining capacity. Southwestern Energy, an exploration and production company, was aided by some natural gas discoveries that significantly boosted its reserves. Within technology, Apple Computer was a standout, spurred by robust sales of the iPod, the company’s personal digital media player. Conversely, Symbol Technologies, a maker of bar code scanners, was the fund’s largest detractor both in absolute terms and versus the index. Lackluster sales growth derailed the stock, and I sold it before period end. Household and personal products marketer Avon Products also had a negative impact on the fund’s results, primarily because of its disappointing sales growth in the United States and abroad. In absolute terms, currency fluctuations particularly the depreciation of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar acted as a mild head wind given the fund’s significant foreign exposure.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b 1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005).
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap II Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require manage ment to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open end mutual funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of

Security Valuation continued |
the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securi ties markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the perfor mance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange traded funds. Because the fund’s utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used can not be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are trans lated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of invest ment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transac tion date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex dividend date. Non cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund esti mates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as “Special Dividends” and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each fund in the trust.
1. Significant Accounting Policies continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distribu tions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book tax differences are primarily due to short term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | | | $ | 106,523,073 | | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | | (12,451,265) | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) . | | | | 94,071,808 | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | | 1,518,636 | | | | |
Undistributed long term capital gain | | | | 1,291,267 | | | | |
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | | $ | 726,685,079 | | | | |
|

2. Operating Policies. | | |
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non government securities. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $990,754,388 and $459,462,141, respectively. The Fund realized a loss on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the fund. The loss was fully reimbursed by the Fund’s investment advisor.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment manage ment related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The manage ment fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund’s average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual man agement fee rate was ..57% of the fund’s average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b 1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class’ average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the

| | | | | | | $ | 2,080,420 | | | $ | 720,992 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermedi aries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and ..25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows: | | | | |
| | | | Retained |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates continued |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servic ing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of share holder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| | | | | | % of |
| | | | | | Average |
| | | | Amount | | Net Assets |
Class A | | | $ | 360,427 | | .35 |
Class T | | | | 435,153 | | .24 |

Class C | | | | 197,814 | | .34 |
Institutional Class | | | | 225,036 | | .32 |
| | | $ | 1,348,073 | | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund’s accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Affiliated Central Funds. The fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Invest ments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $34,431 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
|
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the “line of credit”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund share holder redemptions or for other short term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $73,374.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:
| | Expense | | | | Reimbursement |
| | Limitations | | | | from adviser |
Class A | | 1.30% - 1.25%* | | | $ | 74,759 |
Class B | | 2.05% - 2.00%* | | | | 30,421 |
Class C | | 2.05% - 2.00%* | | | | 32,777 |
Institutional Class | | 1.05% - 1.00%* | | | | 28,342 |
| | | | | | | | | $ | 166,299 |
* Expense limitation in effect at period end. | | | | | | | | | | |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $322,652 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, credits realized as a result of unin vested cash balances were used to reduce the fund’s expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund’s custody expenses by $92.

8. Other. | | |
The fund’s organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the perfor mance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum expo sure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

43 Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap II Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Mid Cap II Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and from August 12, 2004 (commencement of operations) to Decem ber 31, 2004. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

Annual Report 56
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Advisor Mid Cap II Fund
Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such com mittee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ulti mately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fidu ciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its
57 Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees continued
prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board consid ered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discus sions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ invest ment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and manage ment personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24 hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment grade taxable bond funds.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. The Board noted that it is not possible to evaluate performance in any comprehensive fashion because the fund had been in operation for less than one calendar year. Once the fund has been in operation for at least one calendar year, the Board will review the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad based securities market index and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board.
The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups”
59 Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees continued
of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee charac teristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s manage ment fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the period of the fund’s operations shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 15% means that 85% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Annual Report 60
The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the period.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund paid 12b 1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B and Class C ranked below its competitive median for the period, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for the period. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b 1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b 1 fees, although differ ences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, market ing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitabil ity methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non fund businesses and any fall out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s manage ment increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) com pensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

3 Annual Report
Chairman’s Message
(photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind every one where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so called “market timing” activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that some one could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legisla tors and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/ Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report 4
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund dis tributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimburse ment not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

A Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b 1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996 are those of Class T and reflect a 0.25% 12b 1 fee. B Class B shares’ contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five year and past ten year total return figures are 5%, 2% and 0%, respectively. C Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b 1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Class B and reflect a 0.90% 12b 1 fee. Had Class C shares’ 12b 1 fee been reflected, returns between January 1, 1996 and November 3, 1997 would have been lower. Class C shares’ contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year and past ten year total return figures are 1%, 0% and 0%, respectively.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Derek Young and Christopher Sharpe, Lead Co Managers of Fidelity® Advisor Strategic Income Fund
The world’s four major bond categories had varying performance during the 12 month period ending December 31, 2005. Emerging markets bonds did the best overall. Improved local economies, the excellent showing of oil exporting countries and a number of credit upgrades contributed to the 10.73% advance of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global the benchmark’s fourth straight double digit annual return. U.S. high yield didn’t fare as well, as the Merrill Lynch® U.S High Yield Master II Index gained only 2.74% . Intermittent weakness in the auto and air transportation industries, along with concerns about rising inflation and interest rates, subdued the asset class’s performance. U.S. government debt also struggled with interest rates and inflation, leading to a modest 2.65% return for the Lehman Brothers® Government Bond Index. Still, that was better than foreign developed markets debt. The Citigroup® Non U.S. Group of 7 Index fell 5.38% during the past year, hurt by the renewed strength of the U.S. dollar and the more compelling yields of U.S. Treasuries.
For the year ending December 31, 2005, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares were up 2.75%, 2.77%, 2.06% and 1.99%, respectively (excluding sales charges), while the Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index rose 2.66% and the LipperSM Multi Sector Income Funds Average returned 2.19% . The fund’s asset allocation strategy of balancing aggressive and conservative fixed income investments showed respectable results, and security selection was generally favorable across all four fixed income classes. The dollar’s strength versus major currencies, however, had a dampening effect on absolute returns. A significant contribution came from the emerging markets subportfolio, whose double digit return was led mainly by astute security selection in such areas as Mexico, Turkey and Argentina. The high yield subportfolio also outperformed, largely due to its favorable positioning in automotive industry issues. The U.S. government subportfolio finished slightly behind its benchmark, hurt somewhat by its defensive positioning in certain government agency debt issues. The foreign developed markets subportfolio, which ended in negative territory, still found value in certain sovereign debt issues in Canada and outperformed its index.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b 1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005).
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the fund, as a shareholder in the underlying affiliated central fund, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying affiliated central fund. These fees and expenses are not included in the fund’s annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the fund, as a shareholder in the underlying affiliated central fund, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying affiliated central fund. These fees and expenses are not included in the fund’s annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is regis tered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) and fixed income Central Investment Portfolios (CIPs), collectively referred to as Central Funds, which are open end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund, which are also consistently followed by the Central Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by indepen dent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price.
1. Significant Accounting Policies continued |
Security Valuation - continued | | |
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency of when fair value pricing is used is unpredict able. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities. Investments in open end mutual funds, including Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are trans lated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of invest ment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transac tion date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions, including the fund’s investment activity in the Central Funds, are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex dividend date. Non cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distribu tions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Central Funds, are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortiza tion of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the

collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each fund in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distribu tions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book tax differences are primarily due to short term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, prior period premium and discount on debt securi ties, defaulted bonds, market discount, partnerships, non taxable dividends, deferred trustees compensation, financing transactions, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | | | $ | 110,562 |
Unrealized depreciation | | | | (44,102) |

2. Operating Policies. | | | | | | | | |
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non government securities. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transac tions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contrac tually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.

2. Operating Policies continued |
Mortgage Dollar Rolls. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities (“mortgage dollar rolls”) or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities (“reverse mortgage dollar rolls”). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $2,544,045 and $2,003,804, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment manage ment related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The manage ment fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund’s average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual man agement fee rate was ..57% of the fund’s average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b 1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class’ average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the

Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| | Distribution | | Service | | | | Paid to | | | | Retained |
| | Fee | | Fee | | | | FDC | | | | by FDC |
Class A | | 0% | | .15% | | | $ | 768 | | | $ | — |
Class T | | 0% | | .25% | | | | 2,811 | | | | 131 |

| | | | | | | $ | 11,378 | | | $ | 3,921 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermedi aries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and ..25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows: | | | | |
| | | | Retained |
| | | | by FDC |
Class A | | | $ | 813 |
Class T | | | | 248 |
Class B* | | | | 652 |
Class C* | | | | 118 |
| | | $ | 1,831 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servic ing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the

respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of share holder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| | | | | | % of |
| | | | | | Average |
| | | | Amount | | Net Assets |
Class A | | | $ | 1,020 | | .20 |
Class T | | | | 1,756 | | .16 |
Class B | | | | 790 | | .24 |
Class C | | | | 865 | | .18 |
Institutional Class | | | | 756 | | .16 |
| | | $ | 5,187 | | |
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund’s accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Affiliated Central Funds. The fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Invest ments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
The fund may also invest in CIPs managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company, Inc. (FMRC), an affiliate of FMR. The Floating Rate Central Investment Portfolio seeks a high level of income by normally investing in floating rate loans and other floating rate securities.
The fund’s Schedule of Investments lists the CIP as an investment of the fund but does not include the underlying holdings of the CIP. Based on its investment objectives, the CIP may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the fund and may involve certain economic risks, including the risk that a counterparty to one or more of these transactions may be unable or unwilling to comply with the terms of the governing agreement.

5. Committed Line of Credit.
|
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the “line of credit”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund share holder redemptions or for other short term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following classes were in reimbursement during the period: | | | | |
| | Expense | | | | Reimbursement |
| | Limitations | | | | from adviser |
Class B | | 2.00% - 1.75%* | | | $ | 108 |
* Expense limitation in effect at period end. | | | | | | |
In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund’s expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund’s custody expenses by $26.
The fund’s relatively large investment in countries with limited or developing capital markets may involve greater risks than investments in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The yields of emerging market debt obliga tions reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of the fund’s investments and the income they generate, as well as the fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.

The fund’s organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the perfor mance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum expo sure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

65 Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures in cluded confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund as of December 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman’s Message
(photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind every one where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so called “market timing” activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that some one could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/ Edward C. Johnson 3d

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distribu tions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimburse ment not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Derek Young and Christopher Sharpe, Lead Co Managers of Fidelity® Advisor Strategic Income Fund
The world’s four major bond categories had varying performance during the 12 month period ending December 31, 2005. Emerging markets bonds did the best overall. Improved local economies, the excellent showing of oil exporting countries and a number of credit upgrades contributed to the 10.73% advance of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global the benchmark’s fourth straight double digit annual return. U.S. high yield didn’t fare as well, as the Merrill Lynch® U.S High Yield Master II Index gained only 2.74% . Intermittent weakness in the auto and air transportation industries, along with concerns about rising inflation and interest rates, subdued the asset class’s performance. U.S. government debt also struggled with interest rates and inflation, leading to a modest 2.65% return for the Lehman Brothers® Government Bond Index. Still, that was better than foreign developed markets debt. The Citigroup® Non U.S. Group of 7 Index fell 5.38% during the past year, hurt by the renewed strength of the U.S. dollar and the more compelling yields of U.S. Treasuries.
For the year ending December 31, 2005, the fund’s Institutional Class shares were up 2.91%, while the Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index rose 2.66% and the LipperSM Multi Sector Income Funds Average returned 2.19% . The fund’s asset allocation strategy of balancing aggressive and conservative fixed income investments showed respectable results, and security selection was generally favorable across all four fixed income classes. The dollar’s strength versus major currencies, however, had a dampening effect on absolute returns. A significant contribution came from the emerging markets subportfolio, whose double digit return was led mainly by astute security selection in such areas as Mexico, Turkey and Argentina. The high yield subportfolio also outperformed, largely due to its favorable positioning in automotive industry issues. The U.S. government subportfolio finished slightly behind its benchmark, hurt somewhat by its defensive positioning in certain government agency debt issues. The foreign developed markets subportfolio, which ended in negative territory, still found value in certain sovereign debt issues in Canada and outperformed its index.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio managers only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b 1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005).
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the fund, as a shareholder in the underlying affiliated central fund, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying affiliated central fund. These fees and expenses are not included in the fund’s annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the fund, as a shareholder in the underlying affiliated central fund, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying affiliated central fund. These fees and expenses are not included in the fund’s annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Shareholder Expense Example continued
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is regis tered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) and fixed income Central Investment Portfolios (CIPs), collectively referred to as Central Funds, which are open end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund, which are also consistently followed by the Central Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by indepen dent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price.

Security Valuation - continued |
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency of when fair value pricing is used is unpredict able. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities. Investments in open end mutual funds, including Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are trans lated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of invest ment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transac tion date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions, including the fund’s investment activity in the Central Funds, are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex dividend date. Non cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distribu tions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Central Funds, are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortiza tion of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the
1. Significant Accounting Policies continued |
Investment Transactions and Income continued |
collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each fund in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distribu tions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book tax differences are primarily due to short term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, prior period premium and discount on debt securi ties, defaulted bonds, market discount, partnerships, non taxable dividends, deferred trustees compensation, financing transactions, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | | | $ | 110,562 |
Unrealized depreciation | | | | (44,102) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) . | | | | 66,460 |

2. Operating Policies. | | | | | | | | |
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non government securities. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transac tions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contrac tually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
2. Operating Policies continued
Mortgage Dollar Rolls. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities (“mortgage dollar rolls”) or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities (“reverse mortgage dollar rolls”). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $2,544,045 and $2,003,804, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment manage ment related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The manage ment fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the fund’s average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual man agement fee rate was ..57% of the fund’s average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b 1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class’ average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the

| | | | | | | $ | 11,378 | | | $ | 3,921 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermedi aries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and ..25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows: | | | | |
| | | | Retained |
| | | | by FDC |
Class A | | | $ | 813 |
Class T | | | | 248 |
Class B* | | | | 652 |
Class C* | | | | 118 |
| | | $ | 1,831 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servic ing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates continued |
Transfer Agent Fees continued | | |
respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of share holder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| | | | | | % of |
| | | | | | Average |
| | | | Amount | | Net Assets |
Class A | | | $ | 1,020 | | .20 |
Class T | | | | 1,756 | | .16 |
Class B | | | | 790 | | .24 |
Class C | | | | 865 | | .18 |
Institutional Class | | | | 756 | | .16 |
| | | $ | 5,187 | | |
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund’s accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Affiliated Central Funds. The fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Invest ments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
The fund may also invest in CIPs managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company, Inc. (FMRC), an affiliate of FMR. The Floating Rate Central Investment Portfolio seeks a high level of income by normally investing in floating rate loans and other floating rate securities.
The fund’s Schedule of Investments lists the CIP as an investment of the fund but does not include the underlying holdings of the CIP. Based on its investment objectives, the CIP may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the fund and may involve certain economic risks, including the risk that a counterparty to one or more of these transactions may be unable or unwilling to comply with the terms of the governing agreement. This may result in a decline in value of the CIP and the fund.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for the CIP, as of the fund’s report date, is available upon request or at advisor.fidelity.com. The reports are located just after the fund’s financial statements and quarterly reports but are not part of the financial statements or quarterly reports. In addition, the CIP’s financial statements, which are not covered by

this fund’s Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s web site www.sec.gov, or upon request.
The Central Funds do not pay a management fee.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
|
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the “line of credit”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund share holder redemptions or for other short term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following classes were in reimbursement during the period: | | | | |
| | Expense | | | | Reimbursement |
| | Limitations | | | | from adviser |
Class B | | 2.00% - 1.75%* | | | $ | 108 |
* Expense limitation in effect at period end. | | | | | | |
In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund’s expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund’s custody expenses by $26.
The fund’s relatively large investment in countries with limited or developing capital markets may involve greater risks than investments in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The yields of emerging market debt obliga tions reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of the fund’s investments and the income they generate, as well as the fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.
The fund’s organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the perfor mance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum expo sure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is consid ered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures in cluded confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund as of December 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(e) (1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.
The trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity Fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service) but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
All Covered Services, as well as Non-Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee. Neither pre-approval nor advance notice of Non-Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.
(e) (2) | Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X: |
Audit-Related Fees:
There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 on behalf of each fund.
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 on behalf of the Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of each fund.
Tax Fees:
There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 on behalf of each fund.
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 on behalf of the Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of each fund.
All Other Fees:

(g) For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the aggregate fees billed by Deloitte Entities of $550,000A and $1,350,000A for non-audit services rendered on behalf of the funds, FMR (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Fund Service Providers relating to Covered Services and Non-Covered Services are shown in the table below.

Covered Services | $150,000 | $850,000 |
Non-Covered Services | $400,000 | $500,000 |
A | Aggregate amounts may reflect rounding. |
(h) The trust's Audit Committee has considered Non-Covered Services that were not pre-approved that were provided by Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte Entities in its audit of the funds, taking into account representations from Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No.1, regarding its independence from the funds and their related entities.
