NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 29, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. They do not include all information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. The results of operations are impacted significantly by the
combined results of operations of the Local Partnerships, which are
provided by the Local Partnerships on an unaudited basis during interim
periods. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are dependent
on such unaudited information. In the opinion of the General Partner, the
financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly
the financial position as of June 29, 1998 and the results of operations
and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months
ended June 29, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the entire year.
Certain reclassifications of amounts have been made to conform to the
current period presentation.
2. Comprehensive Income
On March 31, 1998, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." As
a result, the statements of operations includes an amount for other
comprehensive income, as well as comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive
income consists of revenues, expenses, gains and losses that have affected
partners' equity (deficit) but which are excluded from net loss. Other
comprehensive income in the accompanying statement of operations for the
three months ended June 29, 1998 resulted from a net unrealized gain on
investments in bonds available-for-sale of $18,056. Accumulated other
comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 29, 1998
reflects the cumulative net unrealized gain on investments in bonds
available-for-sale. The balance sheet as of March 30, 1998 and the
statement of operations for the three months ended June 29, 1997 include
certain reclassifications to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 130.
3. Investments in Bonds Available-For-Sale

4. Investment in Local Partnerships
The Partnership owns limited partnership interests in fifty Local
Partnerships representing capital contributions in the aggregate amount of
$45,877,165. As of March 31, 1998, the Local Partnerships have outstanding
mortgage loans payable totaling approximately $91,933,000 and accrued
interest payable on such loans totaling approximately $4,593,000, which are
secured by security interests and liens common to mortgage loans on the
Local Partnerships' real property and other assets.
For the three months ended June 29, 1998, the investment in Local
Partnerships activity consists of the following:
Investment in Local Partnerships as of March 30, 1998 $ 15,304,416
Equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships (619,233) *
Cash distributions received from Local Partnerships (124,915)
Cash distributions classified as other income 388
------------
Investment in Local Partnerships as of June 29, 1998 $ 14,560,656
============
* Equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships is limited to the
Partnership's investment balance in each Local Partnership; any
excess is applied to other partners' capital in any such Local
Partnership. The amount of such excess losses applied to other
partners' capital was $204,845 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 as reflected in the combined statement of operations of the
Local Partnerships reflected herein Note 4.
The combined unaudited balance sheets of the Local Partnerships as of March
31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the combined unaudited statements of

5. Additional Information
Additional information, including the audited March 30, 1998 Financial
Statements and the Organization, Purpose and Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies, is included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 1998 on file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
AMERICAN TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES II L.P.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Material Changes in Financial Condition
As of June 29, 1998, American Tax Credit Properties II L.P. (the "Registrant")
has not experienced a significant change in financial condition as compared to
March 30, 1998. Principal changes in assets are comprised of periodic
transactions and adjustments and anticipated equity in loss from operations of
the local partnerships (the "Local Partnerships") which own low-income
multifamily residential complexes (the "Properties") which qualify for the
low-income tax credit under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Low-income Tax Credit"). During the three months ended June 29, 1998,
Registrant received cash from interest revenue, maturity/redemption of bonds and
distributions from Local Partnerships and utilized cash for operating expenses.
Cash and cash equivalents and investments in bonds available-for-sale increased,
in the aggregate, by approximately $150,000 during the three months ended June
29, 1998 (which included a net unrealized gain on investments in bonds of
approximately $18,000, the amortization of net premium on investments in bonds
of approximately $8,000 and the accretion of zero coupon bonds of approximately
$10,000). Notwithstanding circumstances that may arise in connection with the
Properties, Registrant does not expect to realize significant gains or losses on
its investments in bonds, if any. During the three months ended June 29, 1998,
the investment in Local Partnerships decreased as a result of Registrant's
equity in the Local Partnerships' net loss for the three months ended March 31,
1998 of $619,233 and cash distributions received from Local Partnerships of
$124,527 (exclusive of distributions from Local Partnerships of $388 classified
as other income). Accounts payable and accrued expenses and payable to general
partner in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 29, 1998 represents
deferred administration fees and management fees, respectively.
Results of Operations
Registrant's operating results are dependent upon the operating results of the
Local Partnerships and are significantly impacted by the Local Partnerships'
policies. In addition, the operating results herein are not necessarily the same
for tax reporting. Registrant accounts for its investment in Local Partnerships
in accordance with the equity method of accounting, under which the investment
is carried at cost and is adjusted for Registrant's share of each Local
Partnership's results of operations and by cash distributions received. Equity
in loss of each investment in Local Partnership allocated to Registrant is
recognized to the extent of Registrant's investment balance in each Local
Partnership. Equity in loss in excess of Registrant's investment balance in a
Local Partnership is allocated to other partners' capital in any such Local
Partnership. As a result, the reported equity in loss of investment in Local
Partnerships is expected to decrease as Registrant's investment balances in the
respective Local Partnerships become zero. The combined statements of operations
of the Local Partnerships reflected in Note 4 to Registrant's financial
statements include the operating results of all Local Partnerships, irrespective
of Registrant's investment balances.
Cumulative losses and cash distributions in excess of investment in Local
Partnerships may result from a variety of circumstances, including a Local
Partnership's accounting policies, subsidy structure, debt structure and
operating deficits, among other things. Accordingly, cumulative losses and cash
distributions in excess of the investment are not necessarily indicative of
adverse operating results of a Local Partnership. See discussion below under
Local Partnership Matters regarding certain Local Partnerships currently
operating below economic break even levels.
Registrant's operations for the three months ended June 29, 1998 and 1997
resulted in net losses of $722,189 and $839,952, respectively. The decrease in
net loss from 1997 to 1998 is primarily attributable to a decrease in equity in
loss of investment in Local Partnerships of approximately $138,000, which is
primarily the result of a decrease in the net operating losses of those Local
Partnerships that continue to have an investment balance as of June 29, 1998.
Other comprehensive income for the three months ended June 29, 1998 and 1997
resulted from a net unrealized gain on investments in bonds available-for-sale
of $18,056 and $71,876, respectively.
The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $894,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 was attributable to rental and other revenue of
approximately $5,217,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses (including
interest on non-mandatory debt) of approximately $4,793,000 and approximately
$1,318,000 of depreciation and amortization
AMERICAN TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES II L.P.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
expense. The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $1,006,000 for the
three months ended March 30, 1997 was attributable to rental and other revenue
of approximately $5,113,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses
(including interest on non-mandatory debt) of approximately $4,799,000 and
approximately $1,320,000 of depreciation and amortization expense. The results
of operations of the Local Partnerships for the three months ended March 31,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in
future periods.
Local Partnership Matters
The Properties are principally comprised of subsidized and leveraged low-income
multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United States and
Puerto Rico. The rents of the Properties, many of which receive rental subsidy
payments pursuant to subsidy agreements ("HAP Contracts") are subject to
specific laws, regulations and agreements with federal and state agencies. Six
Local Partnerships have one or more HAP Contracts, certain of which cover only
certain rental units, which are scheduled to expire in 1998. In addition, the
Local Partnerships have various financing structures which include (i) required
debt service payments ("Mandatory Debt Service") and (ii) debt service payments
which are payable only from available cash flow subject to the terms and
conditions of the notes, which may be subject to specific laws, regulations and
agreements with appropriate federal and state agencies ("Non-Mandatory Debt
Service or Interest"). During the three months ended March 31, 1998, revenue
from operations, Local General Partner advances and reserves of the Local
Partnerships have generally been sufficient to cover the operating expenses and
Mandatory Debt Service. Substantially all of the Local Partnerships are
effectively operating at or near break even levels, although certain Local
Partnerships' operating information reflects operating deficits that do not
represent cash deficits due to their mortgage and financing structure and any
required deferral of property management fees. However, as discussed below,
certain Local Partnerships' operating information indicates below break even
operations after taking into account their mortgage and financing structure and
any required deferral of property management fees.
The terms of the partnership agreements of Christian Street Associates Limited
Partnership (the "Christian Street Local Partnership") and 2000-2100 Christian
Street Associates (the "2000 Christian Street Local Partnership") (collectively,
the "Christian Street Local Partnerships"), which Local Partnerships have
certain common general partner interests and a common first mortgage lender,
require the Local General Partners to advance funds to cover operating deficits
up to $182,500 (through March 1996) and $130,000 (through December 1996),
respectively, and to cause the management agent to defer property management
fees in order to avoid a default under the respective mortgages. The properties
have experienced ongoing operating deficits and as of March 31, 1998, the Local
General Partners have advanced approximately $573,000 to the Christian Street
Local Partnership and approximately $445,000 to the 2000 Christian Street Local
Partnership. However, the Local General Partners, which have fulfilled their
respective deficit guarantees, have informed Registrant that they do not intend
to continue to voluntarily fund the operating deficits of the properties. The
Local General Partners have also informed Registrant that the Christian Street
Local Partnerships are current under their respective first mortgage obligations
as a result of the Local General Partners' funding of operating deficits. The
Local General Partners have approached the lender and are attempting to
restructure the loans; however the lender has indicated that in connection with
any such restructuring, the respective Local Partnerships would be responsible
for certain costs, which may be significant. There can be no assurance that any
such restructuring will be achieved. The Christian Street Local Partnership and
the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership have continued to incur significant
operating deficits for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The Christian
Street Local Partnerships have allocated approximately 7.5 years of Low-income
Tax Credits to Registrant through December 31, 1997. Accordingly, if the Local
General Partners cease to fund the operating deficits, Registrant may incur
substantial recapture of Low-income Tax Credits. Of Registrant's total annual
Low-income Tax Credits, approximately 6% and 3% are allocated from the Christian
Street Local Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership,
respectively, and are scheduled to expire in 2000.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, Forest Village Housing Partnership
(the "Forest Village Local Partnership") incurred an operating deficit of
approximately $14,000, resulting primarily from costs associated with tenant
turnover and maintenance costs. Payments on the mortgages and real estate
taxes are current. Of Registrant's total annual Low-income Tax Credits,
approximately 1% is allocated from the Forest Village Local Partnership.
AMERICAN TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES II L.P.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, Ann Ell Apartments Associates,
Ltd. (the "Ann Ell Local Partnership") incurred an operating deficit of
approximately $27,000. Payments on mortgage and real estate taxes are current.
Of Registrant's total annual Low-income Tax Credits, approximately .7% is
allocated from the Ann Ell Local Partnership.
The terms of the partnership agreement of Batesville Family, L.P. (the
"Batesville Local Partnership") require the management agent to defer property
management fees in order to avoid a default under the mortgage. The Batesville
Local Partnership incurred an operating deficit of approximately $7,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, which includes property management fees of
approximately $500. Of Registrant's total annual income Low-income Tax Credits,
approximately .3% is allocated from the Batesville Local Partnership.
Littleton Avenue Community Village, L.P. (the "Littleton Local Partnership") is
a defendant in a lawsuit resulting from an accident in 1989 during the
construction of the complex owned by the Littleton Local Partnership. In
November 1995 the Littleton Local Partnership and one co-defendant were found
liable in the lawsuit, of which the Littleton Local Partnership's potential
liability is approximately $300,000. The Littleton Local Partnership has
appealed the result of the trial and has filed a lawsuit against the
construction period insurance companies, which were not co-defendants in the
lawsuit. Although the Local General Partner expects the incident to be covered
by insurance, it has agreed to indemnify the Littleton Local Partnership and has
established an escrow of approximately $325,000 from development proceeds in the
event the Littleton Local Partnership is unsuccessful in its appeal and its
action against the construction period insurance companies.
Adoption of Accounting Standard
On March 31, 1998, Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard

(revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 has not materially impacted
Registrant's financial position and results of operations.
