BASS REAL ESTATE FUND II



                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.  ORGANIZATION

     Bass Real Estate Fund II (the Partnership) was organized to engage in the
acquisition, development, operation, holding and disposition of income-producing
residential and commercial properties. Limited partnership interests were sold
at $500 per unit (9,938 units) for a total of $4,969,000.

     Under the terms of the partnership agreement, net income (loss) and cash
distributions from operations are to be allocated 99% to the limited partners
and 1% to the general partners. Upon the sale or liquidation of the partnership
property, the partnership agreement specifies certain allocations of net
proceeds and taxable gain or loss from the transaction.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as
of September 30, 1996, results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and cash flow for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

3.  RENTAL PROPERTIES

      The rental property consists of a residential apartment complex named
Sabal Point I. The complex, which was constructed by an affiliate of the general
partners, is composed of 202 rental units. The units were available for lease
beginning June 1988. The 23.75 acres of land in Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina, where the apartment complex is located were purchased in December 1986
for $930,002 (including closing costs).

     Affiliates of the general partners own two adjacent residential apartment
complexes, Sabal Point II and Sabal Point III. The three complexes merged their
management and leasing operations in 1990 and are sharing expenses related to
grounds, maintenance, leasing, management and other related costs. The managing
general partner believes that the allocation of expenses to each partnership has
been made on a reasonable basis.

     The mortgage loan payable is a 10-year note due April 1, 1999, with
principal and interest at 10 1/8% payable monthly based upon a 30-year
amortization period. The Sabal Point I complex is pledged as collateral for this
mortgage.

4.  GENERAL PARTNERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The general  partners are Marion F. Bass (The Individual  General  Partner)
and Marion Bass Real Estate Group, Inc., (The Managing General Partner). The 
rental property is managed by Marion Bass  Properties,  Inc., which is wholly 
owned by Marion F. Bass.

     Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the general partners or their
affiliates charged certain fees and expenses during the nine-month period ending
September 30, 1996 as follows:



                                      7




BASS REAL ESTATE FUND II


            Management fee of 5% of gross revenues                    $56,504
            Reimbursed maintenance salaries and benefits               36,595
            Reimbursed  property manager salaries and benefits         37,707
                                                                     $130,806

     The general partners and certain of their affiliates also perform, without
cost to the Partnership, day-to-day investment, management and administrative
functions of the Partnership.

     The general partners are entitled to receive 1% of all items of partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and net cash flow from operations.
Therefore, during the second quarter of 1996 the General Partners received a
cash distribution of $1,000 that represented excess cash reserves and net cash
flow from operations for the period January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995.

BASS REAL ESTATE FUND II


                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 1996, partners' equity was $1,470,496 or 19% of total
assets and cash and cash reserves amounted to $321,633. The Partnership had
accrued liabilities of $63,969 that consisted of 1996 property taxes of $50,067,
management fees due to an affiliate of $6,281, trade accounts payable of $4,050
and tenant prepaid rent of $3,571.

     Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $255,278 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This is compared to net cash provided by
operating activities of $162,060 for the corresponding period in 1995. The
Partnership had a 10 1/8% mortgage note in the amount of $6,013,484 outstanding
at September 30, 1996. Principal payments of $40,467 were made during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996 on the amortizing mortgage note.

     The 1996 operating plan and budget projects net cash flow from partnership
activities (exclusive of changes in assets and liabilities and distribution to
partners) of $260,000. The budget assumes that the Partnership will achieve
occupancy rates equivalent to 95%. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
actual average economic occupancy was 98% and actual net cash flow from
partnership activities (exclusive of changes in assets and liabilities and
distribution to partners) was $218,907. Rents have been increased 5% over rates
charged in 1995 to offset any normal increase in operating expenses. Capital
expenditures of $36,000 are budgeted and include selected carpet and vinyl
replacements. As of September 30, 1996, actual capital expenditures and
additions to rental property totaled $38,156. On the basis of these estimates
and year-to-date results, the Partnership believes that the cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to meet cash requirements, rebuild cash reserves
and provide distributions to partners. Funds totaling $100,000 provided by cash
reserves and 1995 operational net cash flow were distributed to partners in
April 1996. The next available distribution to partners is scheduled for the
first quarter of 1997 and the amount is dependent upon 1996 operating results.

Results of Operations

     The following discussion relates to the Partnership's operation of Sabal
Point for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

     Results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1996 reflect
an average economic occupancy of 98% compared to 95% for the corresponding
period in 1995. A third quarter comparison of 1996 and 1995 reflects higher
rental income of $26,298 during 1996 due to rents being increased 5% over rates
charged in 1995. Other operating income increased $2,505. Overall, total income
for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $31,434 higher than the
corresponding period in 1995.

     Operating expenses were $212,851 for the three months ended September 30,
1996, compared to $214,971 for the corresponding period in 1995 which reflects a
variance of $2,120. Fees and expenses to affiliates that consist of a management
fee of 5% of gross revenues and the reimbursement of complex employee salaries
and benefits were higher by $1,153. Property taxes and insurance were higher by
$825 due to rate increases. Utilities were higher by $1,090 due to
resident usage.

     After interest expense of $152,450 and other nonoperating expenses
(partnership expenses and nonrecurring replacement costs) of $8,573, partnership
operations recognized a net income of $14,971 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. This is compared to a net loss of $19,449 for the
corresponding period in 1995.

                                       9



BASS REAL ESTATE FUND II


     Overall the Partnership recognized a net increase in total revenues of
$96,682 (due to rents being increased 5% over rates charged in 1995) and a net
increase in total operating expenses of $18,772 (due mainly to a 1995 adjustment
of $28,302 which decreased depreciation and amortization) for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 compared to the corresponding period in 1995. After
interest expense of $458,375 and other operating expenses of $39,314
(partnership expenses and nonrecurring replacement costs) the Partnership had a
net income of $6,302 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This is
compared to a net loss of $81,887 for the corresponding period in 1995.
