                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of United Investors Income
Properties II (the "Partnership"), have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of United Investor Real Estate, Inc., (the "General Partner"), a
Delaware corporation, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
results for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998.  For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 information to conform to
the 1998 presentation. (see Note B).

NOTE B - CHANGE IN METHOD OF REPORTING THE OWNERSHIP OF JOINT VENTURES

The Partnership owns a 65% interest in Corinth Square Professional Building
("Corinth") (see Note D) and a 55% interest in Covington Pike ("Covington") (see
Note E) (collectively, the "Joint Ventures").  Through the third quarter of
1997, the Partnership reflected its interests in the Joint Ventures utilizing
full consolidation whereby all the accounts of the Joint Ventures were included
in the Partnership's financial statements, with intercompany accounts being
eliminated.  The minority partners' share of the Joint Ventures' assets and
liabilities was reflected as a liability in the balance sheet of the
Partnership.  During the fourth quarter of 1997, management determined that the
Partnership shares its authority over operating and financial decisions of the
Joint Ventures with its venture partners and, accordingly, due to the absence of
control, the Partnership began reflecting its interest in Corinth and Covington
utilizing the equity method.  Under the equity method, the original investment
is increased by advances to the Joint Ventures and by the Partnership's share of
the earnings of the Joint Ventures.  The investment is decreased by
distributions from the Joint Ventures and by the Partnership's share of losses
of the Joint Ventures.

The statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1997 have been restated to reflect this change.  Additionally, certain
reclassifications were made in the 1997 statement of operations to conform to
the current year presentation. These changes had no effect on the net income of
the Partnership, the net income per limited partnership unit, or on partners'
capital (deficit).

NOTE C - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTNERS

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities.
Prior to February 25, 1998, the General Partner was a wholly-owned subsidiary of
MAE GP Corporation, ("MAE GP"), an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia"). Effective February 25, 1998, MAE GP was merged into Insignia
Properties Trust ("IPT"), which is an affiliate of Insignia.  Thus, the General
Partner is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPT.  The partnership agreement
provides for payments to affiliates for services based on a percentage of
revenue and for reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on
behalf of the Partnership.  The following payments were made to affiliates of
the General Partner for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 (in
thousands):

                                                    1998            1997

Property management fees (included in operating
 expenses)                                          $ 2             $ 2
Reimbursement for services of affiliates
 (included in general and administrative
 expenses)                                            6               8

On March 17, 1998, Insignia entered into an agreement to merge its national
residential property management operations, and its controlling interest in IPT,
with Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded
real estate investment trust.  The closing, which is anticipated to happen in
the third quarter of 1998, is subject to customary conditions, including
government approvals and the approval of Insignia's shareholders.  If the
closing occurs, AIMCO will then control the General Partner of the Partnership.

NOTE D - INVESTMENT IN CORINTH SQUARE JOINT VENTURE

The Partnership owns a 65% interest in Corinth, a joint venture with United
Investors Income Properties, an affiliated partnership, in which the General
Partner is also the sole general partner.  Corinth is accounted for using the
equity method of accounting (see Note B).

The condensed balance sheet of Corinth at March 31, 1998, is summarized as
follows (in thousands):

  Assets
  Commercial property, net                     $1,701

  Net income                     $     4       $    14

NOTE E - INVESTMENT IN COVINGTON PIKE JOINT VENTURE

As of December 31, 1992, the Partnership had advanced $1,057,698 to the General
Partner for the benefit of Covington, which was a joint venture between the
General Partner and an unaffiliated party. On January 1, 1993, the General
Partner assigned its interest in the joint venture to the Partnership with no
additional consideration beyond the funds advanced as of December 31, 1992.  The
$1,057,698 consisted of land and building costs of approximately $1,031,000 and
cash of $26,155.  Capital contributed by the unaffiliated partner was $82.
Covington is accounted for using the equity method of accounting (see Note B).

The condensed balance sheet of Covington at March 31, 1998, is summarized as
follows (in thousands):

  Assets
  Commercial property, net                     $  856

Company has indicated its intentions to honor its financial obligations to the
Partnership. Keebler is obligated to continue paying rent on the vacated space
through the years 2000 (Columbia, South Carolina) and 2002 (Chesapeake,
Virginia).  Should the tenant fail to honor its lease obligations, operating
results would be adversely affected. The tenant has thus far paid the scheduled
rental payments on the vacated facilities. In addition, Keebler, with approval
from the Partnership, entered into sub-lease agreements effective July 1, 1996
for the Columbia, South Carolina facility and January 1, 1998 for the
Chesapeake, Virginia facility.  The tenants are obligated to pay rent to Keebler
through December 31, 2000 and October 31, 2002, respectively.

The Partnership realized net income of $117,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998, compared to net income of $115,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997.  All revenues and expenses remained nearly constant.  The
Partnership's financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1997
have been restated to change the method of accounting for its joint venture
investments from consolidation to the equity method. This change affects only
the presentation and does not affect net income nor distributions received from
those joint ventures.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess
the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels
and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses.  As part of this
plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of
inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a
high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which
can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset
softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will
be able to sustain such a plan.

Exclusive of cash held by the Joint Ventures, at March 31, 1998, the Partnership
had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $817,000 compared to
approximately $784,000 at March 31, 1997.  The net decrease in cash and cash
equivalents for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 was $17,000 compared
to a net increase of $85,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased due to the increased use of
cash for other liabilities due to the timing of payments.  Net cash provided by
investing activities decreased primarily due to decreased distributions from the
joint venture properties in 1998. Net cash used in financing activities remained
constant.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the various properties to adequately maintain the
physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are
currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.
Cash distributions of $141,000 were made during the first quarter of 1998 and
1997.  Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated
from operations, property sales, and the availability of cash reserves.  The
General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will continue to make cash
distributions as property operations permit throughout 1998.

Year 2000

The Partnership is dependent upon the General Partner and Insignia for
management and administrative services.  Insignia has completed an assessment
and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter (the "Year 2000 Issue").  The project is estimated to be completed
not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on
its operating systems.  The General Partner believes that with modifications to
existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not
pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the
Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the
Partnership.
