under the Securities Act of 1933.






PART I

Item 1. Business

Formation

American Tax Credit Properties II L.P. ("Registrant"), a Delaware limited
partnership, was formed on October 26, 1988 to invest primarily in leveraged
low-income multifamily residential complexes (the "Property" or "Properties")
which qualify for the low-income tax credit established by Section 42 of the Tax
Reform Act of 1986 (the "Low-income Tax Credit"), through the acquisition of
limited partnership equity interests in partnerships (the "Local Partnership" or
"Local Partnerships") that are the owners of the Properties. Registrant has
invested in fifty such Properties including one Property which also qualifies
for the historic rehabilitation tax credit in accordance with Section 48(g) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit").
Registrant considers its activity to constitute a single industry segment.

Richman Tax Credit Properties II L.P. (the "General Partner"), a Delaware
limited partnership, was formed on October 26, 1988 to act as the sole general
partner of Registrant. The general partner of the General Partner is Richman Tax
Credits Inc. ("Richman Tax Credits"), a Delaware corporation which is
wholly-owned by Richard Paul Richman. Richman Tax Credits is an affiliate of
both The Richman Group, Inc. ("Richman Group"), a Delaware corporation founded
by Richard Paul Richman in 1988 and Wilder Richman Corporation ("WRC"), a New
York corporation co-founded by Richard Paul Richman in 1979.

The Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-11 was filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on April 21, 1989
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 under Registration Statement No.
33-25337, which was declared effective on May 9, 1989. Reference is made to the
prospectus dated May 10, 1989, as supplemented by Supplement No. 1, and
Supplement No. 2 dated July 25, 1989 and September 18, 1989, respectively, filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Prospectus"). Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
on Form S-11 was filed with the Commission on November 21, 1989. Pursuant to
Rule 12b-23 of the Commission's General Rules and Regulations promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the
description of Registrant's business set forth under the heading "Investment
Objectives and Policies" at pages 47 through 70 of the Prospectus is
incorporated herein by reference.

On June 14, 1989, Registrant commenced, through Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), the offering of up to 100,000 units of
limited partnership interest ("Unit") at $1,000 per Unit. On June 28, 1989, July
31, 1989 and September 22, 1989, the closings for 13,533, 20,560 and 21,653
Units, respectively, took place, amounting to total limited partners' capital
contributions of $55,746,000.

Competition

Pursuant to Rule 12b-23 of the Commission's General Rules and Regulations
promulgated under the Exchange Act, the description of Registrant's competition,
general risks, tax risks and partnership risks set forth under the heading "Risk
Factors" at pages 20 through 33 of the Prospectus is incorporated herein by
reference.

Employees

Registrant employs no personnel and incurs no payroll costs. All management
activities of Registrant are conducted by the General Partner. An affiliate of
the General Partner employs individuals who perform the management activities of
Registrant. This entity also performs similar services for other affiliates of
the General Partner.

Tax Reform Act of 1986, Revenue Act of 1987, Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue
Act of 1988, Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990, Tax Extension Act of 1991, Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 and Uruguay Round Agreements Act (collectively the
"Tax Acts")

Registrant is organized as a limited partnership and is a "pass through" tax
entity which does not, itself, pay Federal income tax. However, the partners of
Registrant who are subject to Federal income tax may be affected by the Tax
Acts. Registrant will consider the effect of certain aspects of the Tax Acts on
the partners when making decisions regarding its investments. Registrant does
not anticipate that the Tax Acts will currently have a material adverse impact
on Registrant's business operations, capital resources and plans or liquidity.






Item 2. Properties

The executive offices of Registrant and the General Partner are located at 599
West Putnam Avenue, 3rd floor, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830. Registrant does not
own or lease any properties. Registrant pays no rent; all charges for leased
space are borne by an affiliate of the General Partner.

Registrant's primary objective is to provide Low-income Tax Credits to limited
partners generally over a ten year period. Each of Registrant's Local
Partnerships has been allocated by the relevant state tax credit agency an
amount of Low-income Tax Credits for ten years from the date the Property is
placed in service. The required holding period of each Property, in order to
avoid Low-income Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years from the year in which
the Low-income Tax Credits commence on the last building of the Property (the
"Compliance Period"). In addition, certain of the Local Partnerships have
entered into agreements with the relevant state tax credit agencies whereby the
Local Partnerships must maintain the low-income nature of the Properties for a
period which exceeds the Compliance Period, regardless of any sale of the
Properties by the Local Partnerships after the Compliance Period. The Properties
must satisfy various requirements including rent restrictions and tenant income
limitations (the "Low-income Tax Credit Requirements") in order to maintain
eligibility for the recognition of the Low-income Tax Credit at all times during
the Compliance Period. Once a Local Partnership has become eligible for the
Low-income Tax Credit, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an event of
recapture if its Property fails to remain in compliance with the Low-income Tax
Credit Requirements. Through December 31, 1996, none of the Local Partnerships
have suffered an event of recapture of Low-income Tax Credits.

Although Registrant generally owns a 98.9%-99% limited partnership interest
("Local Partnership Interest") in the Local Partnerships, Registrant and
American Tax Credit Properties L.P. ("ATCP"), a Delaware limited partnership and
an affiliate of Registrant, together, in the aggregate, acquired a 99% Local
Partnership Interest in Santa Juanita Limited Dividend Partnership L.P. (the
"Santa Juanita Local Partnership"); the ownership percentages of Registrant and
ATCP for the Santa Juanita Local Partnership are 64.36% and 34.64%,
respectively. In addition, Registrant and American Tax Credit Properties III
L.P. ("ATCP III"), a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of
Registrant, together, in the aggregate, acquired a 99% Local Partnership
Interest in certain Local Partnerships as follows:

Registrant ATCP III
Batesville Family, L.P. 37.25% 61.75%
Bruce Housing Associates, L.P. 37.25 61.75
Carrington Limited Dividend
Housing Association Limited 33.05 65.95
Partnership
Ivy Family, L.P. 37.25 61.75
Lawrence Road Properties, Ltd. 37.25 61.75
Mirador del Toa Limited 39.94 59.06
Partnership
Purvis Heights Properties, L.P. 37.25 61.75
Queen Lane Investors 50.50 48.50

Many of the Local Partnerships receive rental subsidy payments, including
payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974 ("Section 8") (see descriptions of subsidies on pages 7 and 8). The
subsidy agreements expire at various times during and after the Compliance
Periods of the Local Partnerships. The United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development ("HUD") has issued notices which implement provisions to renew
certain project based Section 8 contracts expiring during HUD's fiscal year
1997, where requested by an owner, for an additional one year term generally at
or below current rent levels, subject to certain guidelines. HUD has an
additional program which, in general, provides for restructuring rents and/or
mortgages where rents may be adjusted to market levels and mortgage terms may be
adjusted based on the reduction in rents, although there may be instances in
which only rents, but not mortgages, are restructured. Registrant cannot
reasonably predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget negotiations,
the outcome of which could result in a reduction in funds available for the
various federal and state administered housing programs including the Section 8
program. Such changes could adversely affect the future net operating income and
debt structure of any or all Local Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy
or similar subsidies. Six Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts, which cover
certain rental units, are scheduled to expire in 1997, three of which expired
during 1996 and were extended for one year.

(1) Description of Subsidies:

(a) Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974 allows qualified low-income tenants to pay thirty
percent of their monthly income as rent with the balance paid by
the federal government.

(b) King County Housing Authority provided an interest subsidy
through issuance of tax exempt bonds which provided first and
second mortgage loans for the acquisition and rehabilitation of
the complex.

(c) The Local Partnership's debt structure includes a
principal or interest payment subsidy.








Item 2. Properties (continued)

(d) The Rural Housing Service (formerly the Farmers Home
Administration) of the United States Department of Agriculture
Rental Assistance Program allows qualified low-income tenants to
receive rental subsidies.

(e) The Michigan State Housing Development Authority allows tenants,
who would otherwise pay more than 40% of their income for rent
and utilities, to receive rental subsidies.

(f) The City of Philadelphia Housing Authority allows qualified
low-income tenants to receive rental certificates.

(2) The capital contribution reflects Registrant's obligation only.

(3) The complex also qualifies for the historic rehabilitation tax
credit in accordance with Section 48(g) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

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 of the Littleton Local Partnership
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.

The first mortgage of Ann Ell Apartments Associates, Ltd. (the "Ann Ell Local
Partnership") has been declared in default due to insufficient deposits to the
replacement reserve and the lender has alleged certain other incidents of
default including, among other things, inadequate funding of real estate tax and
insurance escrows and failure to procure certain minimum insurance coverage,
resulting in the lender filing a Complaint to Foreclose Mortgage And For Other
Relief and filing an Entry Of A Final Judgment Of Foreclosure in Circuit Court
for Dade County, Florida on January 31, 1997. The local general partner of the
Ann Ell Local Partnership reports that the Ann Ell Local Partnership incurred
costs for capital improvements and unscheduled maintenance which were in excess
of the replacement reserve funding requirement and further reports that the
other incidents have been wrongly alleged and has requested a meeting with the
lender to discuss the resolution of this matter. Registrant has taken action to
replace the local general partner and the management agent of the Ann Ell Local
Partnership.

Registrant is not aware of any other material legal proceedings.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the limited partners of Registrant
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.






PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity
and Related Security Holder Matters

Market Information and Holders

There is no established public trading market for Registrant's Units. There are
provisions in the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of
Registrant which are intended to prevent the development of a public secondary
market. Accordingly, accurate information as to the market value of a Unit at
any given date is not available. Since November 1992, Merrill Lynch has provided
its clients who wish to buy or sell partnership units with a limited partnership
secondary service available through Merrill Lynch's Limited Partnership
Secondary Transaction Department. The number of owners of Units as of May 20,
1997 was 3,457, holding 55,746 Units.

Beginning with the December 1994 Merrill Lynch client account statements,
Merrill Lynch implemented new guidelines for providing estimated values of
limited partnerships and other direct investments reported on client account
statements. As a result, Merrill Lynch no longer reports general partner
estimates of limited partnership net asset value on its client account
statements, although Registrant may continue to provide its estimate of limited
partnership value to Unit holders. Pursuant to the guidelines, estimated values
for limited partnership interests originally sold by Merrill Lynch (such as
Registrant's Units) will be provided two times per year to Merrill Lynch by
independent valuation services. These estimated values will be based on
financial and other information available to the independent services (1) on the
prior August 15th for reporting on December year-end and subsequent client
account statements through the following May's month-end client account
statements and (2) on the prior March 31st for reporting on June through
November month-end client account statements of the same year. Merrill Lynch
clients may contact their Merrill Lynch Financial Consultants or telephone the
number provided to them on their account statements to obtain a general
description of the methodology used by the independent valuation services to
determine their estimates of value. In addition, Registrant may provide an
estimate of limited partnership value to Unit holders from time to time in
Registrant's reports to limited partners. The estimated values provided by the
independent services and Registrant, which may differ, are not market values and
Unit holders may not be able to sell their Units or realize either amount upon a
sale of their Units. In addition, Unit holders may not realize such estimated
values upon the liquidation of Registrant's assets over its remaining life.

Distributions

Registrant owns a limited partnership interest in Local Partnerships that are
the owners of Properties which are leveraged and receive government assistance
in various forms of rental and debt service subsidies. The distribution of any
cash flow generated by the Local Partnerships may be restricted, as determined
by each Local Partnership's financing and subsidy agreements. Accordingly,
Registrant does not anticipate that it will provide significant annual cash
distributions to its partners. There were no cash distributions to the partners
during the years ended March 30, 1997 and 1996.

Low-income Tax Credits and Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits (together, the
"Tax Credits"), which are subject to various limitations, may be used by
investors to offset federal income tax liabilities. The Tax Credits per Unit
generated by Registrant and allocated to the limited partners for the tax years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the cumulative Tax Credits allocated from
inception through December 31, 1996 are as follows:



Historic
Rehabilitation Low-income
Tax Credits Tax Credits

Tax year ended December 31, 1996 $ -- $ 144.49
Tax year ended December 31, 1995 -- 144.49

Cumulative totals $ 6.56 $ 1,013.84



Notwithstanding future circumstances which may give rise to recapture or loss of
future benefits (see Part I, Item 2 - Properties, herein), Registrant expects to
generate total Tax Credits from investments in Local Partnerships of
approximately $1,500 per Unit through December 31, 2001.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Registrant registered 100,000 units of limited partnership interest ("Units") at
$1,000 per Unit with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
and on May 9, 1989, the Commission declared effective Amendment No. 2 to the
Registration Statement on Form S-11. Registrant admitted limited partners
between June 28, 1989 and September 22, 1989 in three closings with aggregate
limited partners' capital contributions amounting to $55,746,000.

Registrant acquired fifty limited partnership interests (the "Local Partnership
Interests") in partnerships (the "Local Partnership" or "Local Partnerships")
representing capital contributions in the amount of $45,692,662. The Local
Partnerships own low-income multifamily residential complexes (the "Property" or
"Properties") which qualify for the low-income tax credit established by Section
42 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Low-income Tax Credit"); one Local
Partnership owns a Property which also qualifies for the historic rehabilitation
tax credit in accordance with Section 48(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986. The required holding period of each Property, in order to avoid Low-income
Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years from the year in which the Low-income Tax
Credits commence on the last building of the Property (the "Compliance Period").
The investment in Local Partnerships are highly illiquid.

From the closing of Units, Registrant established a working capital reserve.
Registrant is not expected to have access to any source of financing.
Accordingly, if unforeseen contingencies arise that cause a Local Partnership to
require additional capital, in addition to that contributed by Registrant, the
source of such capital needs may be obtained from (i) limited working capital
reserves of Registrant (which may include distributions received from Local
Partnerships), (ii) debt financing at the Local Partnership level (which may not
be available) or (iii) additional equity contributions of the general partner of
a Local Partnership (the "Local General Partner"). In addition, the Local
Partnerships are generally expected to maintain escrow reserves over time in
addition to the reserves maintained by Registrant. There can be no assurance
that any of these sources would be readily available to provide for possible
additional capital requirements or be sufficient to remedy any such unforeseen
contingencies.

As of March 30, 1997, Registrant's working capital is comprised of cash and cash
equivalents of $674,160, investments in corporate bonds of $3,068,937,
investments in U.S. Treasury bonds of $402,845 and investments in U.S.
government agency bonds of $679,696. Registrant acquired such investments in
bonds with the intention of utilizing proceeds generated by such investments in
bonds to meet its annual obligations. Future sources of Registrant's funds are
expected primarily from interest earned on investments of working capital
reserves, retired investments in bonds and limited cash distributions from Local
Partnerships.


Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)


During the year ended March 30, 1997, Registrant received cash from interest
earnings and distributions from the Local Partnerships and utilized cash for
operating expenses. In addition, Registrant received $200,000 from the maturity
of investments in bonds. Cash and cash equivalents and investments in bonds
available-for-sale decreased, in the aggregate, by approximately $190,000 during
the year ended March 30, 1997, which decrease includes a net unrealized loss
recorded on investments in bonds of approximately $114,000, the amortization of
net premium on investments in bonds of approximately $51,000 and the accretion
of zero coupon bonds of approximately $39,000. During the year ended March 30,
1997, the investment in Local Partnerships decreased as a result of Registrant's
equity in the Local Partnerships' net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996
of $5,180,297 and cash distributions received from Local Partnerships of
$117,999.

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, including payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 ("Section 8"), are subject to specific laws,
regulations and agreements with federal and state agencies. The subsidy
agreements expire at various times during and after the Compliance Periods of
the Local Partnerships. The United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD") has issued notices which implement provisions to renew
certain project based Section 8 contracts expiring during HUD's fiscal year
1997, where requested by an owner, for an additional one year term generally at
or below current rent levels, subject to certain guidelines. HUD has an
additional program which, in general, provides for restructuring rents and/or
mortgages where rents may be adjusted to market levels and mortgage terms may be
adjusted based on the reduction in rents, although there may be instances in
which only rents, but not mortgages, are restructured. Registrant cannot
reasonably predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget negotiations,
the outcome of which could result in a reduction in funds available for the
various federal and state administered housing programs including the Section 8
program. Such changes could adversely affect the future net operating income and
debt structure of any or all Local Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy
or similar subsidies. Six Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts, which cover
certain rental units, are scheduled to expire in 1997, three of which expired
during 1996 and were extended for one year. 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 year ended December 31, 1996, 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' accounting
information reflects operating deficits that do not represent cash deficits due
to their mortgage and financing structure and the 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 the 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"), 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
December 31, 1996, the Local General Partners have advanced approximately
$329,000 to the Christian Street Local Partnership and approximately $248,000 to
the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership. Pending an attempt to address a
potential loan restructuring of the respective mortgages with the lender, the
Local General Partners have informed Registrant that they do not intend to
continue to voluntarily fund the operating deficits of the properties. The Local
General Partners have further informed Registrant that the Christian Street
Local Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership have not made
the required principal and interest payments under their first mortgage
obligations since December 1996 and that the lender has declared both mortgages
in default. The Local General Partners have approached the lender and are
currently in the process of negotiating a workout, but the lender has clearly
indicated that in connection with any proposed workout, the Local General
Partners would be responsible for funding a portion of any remaining deficit
after taking into account the benefits of the workout. Such amounts would likely
be significant. There can be no assurance that any such workout will be
achieved. The Christian Street Local Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street
Local Partnership incurred operating deficits for the year ended December 31,
1996 of approximately $60,000 and $54,000, respectively (exclusive of property
management fees of approximately $23,000 and $18,000, respectively). Of



Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)


Registrant's total annual Low-income Tax Credits, approximately 5% and 3% are
allocated from the Christian Street Local Partnership and the 2000 Christian
Street Local Partnership, respectively.

Due to continuing operating deficits and the uncertainty of future operating
income of the Christian Street and 2000 Christian Street Local Partnerships, the
combined financial statements of the Local Partnerships for the year ended
December 31, 1996 include a loss from impairment of long-lived assets totaling
$7,314,852, which represents an adjustment of the real property of the Christian
Street and 2000 Christian Street Local Partnerships of $3,986,977 and
$3,327,875, respectively, based on estimates of expected future cash flows.
Registrant recorded additional equity in loss of investment in Local
Partnerships of $1,371,790 as a result of such impairment. Although such loss
results in a zero investment balance in the Christian Street and 2000 Christian
Street Local Partnerships, the remaining Low-income Tax Credits available are
approximately $12 per Unit per annum collectively for January 1, 1997 through
December 31, 2000.

During the year ended December 31, 1996, Forest Village Housing Partnership (the
"Forest Village Local Partnership") incurred an operating deficit of
approximately $4,000. There is no operating deficit guarantee in connection with
the Forest Village Local Partnership. All required 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.

The first mortgage of Ann Ell Apartments Associates, Ltd. (the "Ann Ell Local
Partnership") has been declared in default due to insufficient deposits to the
replacement reserve and the lender has alleged certain other incidents of
default including, among other things, inadequate funding of real estate tax and
insurance escrows and failure to procure certain minimum insurance coverage,
resulting in the lender filing a foreclosure action and a motion for summary
judgment. The Local General Partner of the Ann Ell Local Partnership reports
that the Ann Ell Local Partnership incurred costs for capital improvements and
unscheduled maintenance which were in excess of the replacement reserve funding
requirement and further reports that the other incidents have been wrongly
alleged and has requested a meeting with the lender to discuss the resolution of
this matter. Registrant has taken action to replace the Local General Partner
and the management agent of the Ann Ell 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 of the Littleton Local Partnership
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.

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 the Local
Partnership's results of operations and by any 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. Any equity in loss in excess of Registrant's investment balance in
a Local Partnership is allocated to other partners' capital in each such Local
Partnership. As a result, the equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships
is expected to decrease as Registrant's investment balances in the respective
Local Partnerships become zero. However, the combined statements of operations
of the Local Partnerships reflected in Note 5 to Registrant's financial
statements include the operating results of all Local Partnerships, regardless
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,






Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)



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 above under Capital Resources and
Liquidity regarding certain Local Partnerships currently operating below
economic break even levels.

Year Ended March 30, 1997

For the year ended March 30, 1997, Registrant had a net loss of approximately
$5,507,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships
of approximately $5,180,000 (which includes $1,371,790 from the recorded
impairment in connection with the Christian Street and 2000 Christian Street
Local Partnerships) for the year ended December 31, 1996. Nonrecognition of
losses in excess of Registrant's investment in certain Local Partnerships during
the year was approximately $6,302,000. Registrant's loss from operations for the
year ended March 30, 1997 of approximately $327,000 was attributable to interest
revenue of approximately $360,000, exceeded by operating expenses of
approximately $687,000. Interest revenue for future periods is expected to
decline as investments in bonds mature and are utilized for Registrant's
operating expenses.

The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $11,942,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 was attributable to rental and other revenue of approximately
$20,591,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses of approximately
$19,103,000, approximately $6,115,000 of depreciation and amortization expenses
and approximately $7,315,000 incurred by the Christian Street Local Partnership
and the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership in connection with the recorded
adjustment of the properties to their estimated fair market value. The Local
Partnerships' net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996 includes accrued
Non-Mandatory Interest charges of approximately $695,000 and does not include
principal amortization on mortgage loans payable of approximately $1,045,000.

Year Ended March 30, 1996

For the year ended March 30, 1996, Registrant had a net loss of approximately
$3,837,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships
of approximately $3,514,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Nonrecognition
of losses in excess of Registrant's investment in certain Local Partnerships
during the year was approximately $342,000. Registrant's loss from operations
for the year ended March 30, 1996 of approximately $323,000 was attributable to
interest revenue of approximately $360,000, exceeded by operating expenses of
approximately $683,000.

The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $4,159,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 was attributable to rental and other revenue of approximately
$20,163,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses of approximately
$18,588,000 and approximately $5,734,000 of depreciation and amortization
expenses. The Local Partnerships' net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995
includes accrued Non-Mandatory Interest charges of approximately $690,000 and
does not include principal amortization on mortgage loans payable of
approximately $942,000.

Year Ended March 30, 1995

For the year ended March 30, 1995, Registrant had a net loss of approximately
$4,266,000, which included an equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships
of approximately $3,914,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994. Nonrecognition
of losses in excess of Registrant's investment in certain Local Partnerships
during the year was approximately $317,000. Registrant's loss from operations
for the year ended March 30, 1995 of approximately $352,000 was attributable to
interest revenue of approximately $333,000 and other income from Local
Partnerships of approximately $3,000, exceeded by operating expenses of
approximately $684,000 and amortization of organization costs of approximately
$4,000. Equity in loss of investment in Local Partnerships includes expenditures
of $105,644 incurred by Registrant in connection with its investment in the
Forest Village Local Partnership.

The Local Partnerships' net loss of approximately $4,522,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1994 was attributable to rental and other revenue of approximately
$19,286,000, exceeded by operating and interest expenses of approximately
$18,060,000 and approximately $5,748,000 of depreciation and amortization
expenses. The Local Partnerships' net loss for the year ended December 31, 1994
includes accrued Non-Mandatory Interest charges of approximately $700,000 and
does not include principal amortization on mortgage loans payable of
approximately $871,000.





Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)


Year Ended March 30, 1997 v. 1996

Registrant's operations for the year ended March 30, 1997 resulted in a net loss
of approximately $5,507,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately
$3,837,000 for the year ended March 30, 1996. The increase in net loss is
primarily attributable to an increase in the equity in loss of investment in
Local Partnerships of approximately $1,666,000, which is primarily the result of
the adjustment to reduce the Christian Street Local Partnership and the 2000
Christian Street Local Partnership properties to their estimated fair value and
an increase in depreciation expense of two Local Partnerships associated with
payments in connection with acquisition notes which were originally not recorded
due to the uncertainty of ultimate repayment at the time the respective
Properties were placed in service, partially offset by an increase in the
nonrecognition of losses in excess of Registrant's investment in Local
Partnerships of approximately $5,960,000 in accordance with the equity method of
accounting.

Year Ended March 30, 1996 v. 1995

Registrant's operations for the year ended March 30, 1996 resulted in a net loss
of approximately $3,837,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately
$4,266,000 for the year ended March 30, 1995. The decrease in net loss is
primarily attributable to a decrease in the equity in loss of investment in
Local Partnerships of approximately $400,000. The decrease in the equity in loss
of investment in Local Partnerships is primarily the result of the improved
results of operations of the Local Partnerships, as a whole. In addition,
Registrant did not incur expenditures in connection with the Forest Village
Local Partnership during the year ended March 30, 1996.

Inflation

Inflation is not expected to have a material adverse impact on Registrant's
operations during its period of ownership of the Local Partnership Interests.

Recent Accounting Statements Not Yet Adopted

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
per Share" and SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital
Structure." SFAS No. 128 provides accounting and reporting standards
for the amount of earnings per share. SFAS No. 129 requires the disclosure
in summary form within the financial statements of the pertinent rights and
privileges of the various securities outstanding. SFAS No. 128 and
SFAS No. 129 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997
and earlier application is not permitted.

The implementation of SFAS No. 128 and SFAS No. 129 is not expected to
materially impact Registrant's financial statements because Registrant's
earnings per share would not be significantly affected and the disclosures
regarding the capital structure in the financial statements would not be
significantly changed.

Independent Auditors' Report


To the Partners
American Tax Credit Properties II L.P.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Tax Credit
Properties II L.P. as of March 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of
operations, changes in partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended March 30, 1997. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Tax Credit
Properties II L.P. as of March 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
March 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 30, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



1. Organization, Purpose and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

American Tax Credit Properties II L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed on
October 26, 1988 and the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the
Partnership was filed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act. There was no operating activity until admission of the
limited partners on June 28, 1989. The Partnership was formed to invest
primarily in leveraged low-income multifamily residential complexes (the
"Property" or "Properties") which qualify for the low-income tax credit
established by Section 42 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Low-income
Tax Credit"), through the acquisition of limited partnership equity
interests (the "Local Partnership Interests") in partnerships (the "Local
Partnership" or "Local Partnerships") that are the owners of the
Properties. The Partnership has invested in one Property which also
qualifies for the historic rehabilitation tax credit in accordance with
Section 48(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Richman Tax Credit
Properties II L.P. (the "General Partner") was formed on October 26, 1988
to act as the sole general partner of the Partnership. contributions. Such
amounts were recorded as a liability and an offset to interest revenue.

Basis of Accounting and Fiscal Year

The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting for both financial reporting and tax purposes. For financial
reporting purposes, the Partnership's fiscal year ends March 30 and its
quarterly periods end June 29, September 29 and December 30. The Local
Partnerships have a calendar year for financial reporting purposes. The
Partnership and the Local Partnerships each have a calendar year for
income tax purposes.

The Partnership accounts for its investment in Local Partnerships in
accordance with the equity method of accounting (see Note 5), under which
the investment is carried at cost which includes capital contributions
payable, and is adjusted for the Partnership's share of the Local
Partnership's results of operations and by any cash distributions
received. Equity in loss of each investment in Local Partnership allocated
to the Partnership is recognized to the extent of the Partnership's
investment balance in each Local Partnership. Any equity in loss in excess
of the Partnership's investment balance in a Local Partnership is
allocated to other partners' capital in each such Local Partnership.
Previously unrecognized equity in loss of any Local Partnership is
recognized in the fiscal year in which equity in income is earned by such
Local Partnership. Distributions received subsequent to the elimination of
an investment balance for any such Local Partnership are recorded as other
income from Local Partnerships.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Adoption of Accounting Standard

On March 31, 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No.
121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable (see Note 5).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
MARCH 30, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



1. Organization, Purpose and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers
all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash and
cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value.

Investments in Bonds Available-For-Sale

Investments in bonds classified as available-for-sale represent
investments in bonds that the Partnership intends to hold for an
indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to
sell an investment classified as available-for-sale would be based on
various factors, including significant movements in interest rates and
liquidity needs. Investments in bonds available-for-sale are carried at
estimated fair value and unrealized gains or losses are reported as a
separate component of partners' equity (deficit).

Premium/Discount on Investments

Premiums and discounts on investments in bonds available-for-sale are
amortized (accreted) using the straight-line method over the life of the
investment. Amortized premiums offset interest revenue, while the
accretion of discounts and zero coupon bonds are included in interest
revenue. Unamortized premiums and unaccreted discounts of investments
redeemed prior to maturity are offset against, or included in, interest
revenue.

Gain (Loss) on Redemption or Sale of Investments

Realized gain (loss) on redemption or sale of investments in bonds
available-for-sale are included in, or offset against, interest revenue on
the basis of the adjusted cost of each specific investment redeemed or
sold.

Organization Costs

Organization costs were amortized on a straight-line basis over five (5)
years; such costs became fully amortized during the year ended March 30,
1995.

Interest on Capital Contributions Payable to Local Partnerships

Pursuant to agreements with certain Local Partnerships, interest is
accrued on certain installments of capital contributions. Such amounts
were recorded as a liability and an offset to interest revenue.

Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been made because all income, losses and
tax credits are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their
respective tax returns. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes," the Partnership has included in Note 7 certain disclosures
related to differences in the book and tax bases of accounting.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of amounts have been made to conform to the
current year presentation.

2. Capital Contributions

On June 14, 1989, the Partnership commenced the offering of units (the
"Units") through Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the
"Selling Agent"). On June 28, 1989, July 31, 1989 and September 22, 1989,
under the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), the General
Partner admitted limited partners to the Partnership in three closings. At
these closings, subscriptions for a total of 55,746 Units representing
$55,746,000 in limited partners' capital contributions were accepted. In
connection with the offering of Units, the Partnership incurred
registration costs of $6,534,064, of which $75,000 was capitalized as
organization costs and $6,459,064 was charged to the limited partners'
equity. The Partnership received a capital contribution of $100 from the
General Partner.

Net loss is allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General
Partner in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.


3. Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 30, 1997, the Partnership has $674,160 in cash and cash
equivalents which are deposited in interest-bearing accounts with an
institution which is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.


4. Investments in Bonds Available-For-Sale

The Partnership carries its investments in bonds as available-for-sale
because such investments are used to facilitate and provide flexibility
for the Partnership's obligations, including resolving unforeseen
contingencies which may arise in connection with the Local Partnerships.
Investments in bonds available-for-sale are reflected in the accompanying
balance sheets at estimated fair value.

Although the Partnership generally owns a 98.9%-99% limited partnership
interest in the Local Partnerships, the Partnership and American Tax
Credit Properties L.P. ("ATCP"), a Delaware limited partnership and an
affiliate of the Partnership, together, in the aggregate, acquired a 99%
Local Partnership Interest in the Santa Juanita Local Partnership; the
ownership percentages of the Partnership and ATCP of the Santa Juanita
Local Partnership are 64.36% and 34.64%, respectively. In addition, the
Partnership and American Tax Credit Properties III L.P. ("ATCP III"), a
Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of the Partnership,
together, in the aggregate, acquired a 99% Local Partnership Interest in
certain Local Partnerships as follows:



The

Queen Lane Investors 50.50 48.50



The Properties are principally comprised of subsidized and leveraged
low-income multifamily residential complexes located throughout the United
States and Puerto Rico. The required holding period of each Property, in
order to avoid Low-income Tax Credit recapture, is fifteen years from the
year in which the Low-income Tax Credits commence on the last building of
the Property (the "Compliance Period"). The rents of the Properties are
controlled by federal and state agencies pursuant to applicable laws and
regulations (see Note 8). Under the terms of each of the fifty Local
Partnership's partnership agreements, the Partnership made capital
contributions in the aggregate amount of $45,692,662. As of December 31,
1996, the Local Partnerships have outstanding mortgage loans payable
totaling approximately $93,337,000 and accrued interest payable on such
loans totaling approximately $3,948,000, which are secured by security
interests and liens common to mortgage loans on the Local Partnerships'
real property and other assets.

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 (see Note
1). The amount of such excess losses applied to other partners' capital
was $6,301,666, $341,567 and $316,791 for the years ended December 31,

The terms of the partnership agreements of Christian Street Local
Partnership and 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership, 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 December 31, 1996, the local general partners have
advanced approximately $329,000 to the Christian Street Local Partnership
and approximately $248,000 to the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership.
Pending an attempt to address a potential loan restructuring of the
respective mortgages with the lender, the local general partners have
informed the Partnership that they do not intend to continue to voluntarily
fund the operating deficits of the properties. The local general partners
have further informed the Partnership that the

5. Investment in Local Partnerships (continued)

Christian Street Local Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street Local
Partnership have not made the required principal and interest payments
under their first mortgage obligations since December 1996 and that the
lender has declared both mortgages in default. The Christian Street Local
Partnership and the 2000 Christian Street Local Partnership incurred
operating deficits for the year ended December 31, 1996 of approximately
$60,000 and $54,000, respectively (exclusive of property management fees of
approximately $23,000 and $18,000, respectively).

Due to continuing operating deficits and the uncertainty of future
operating income of the Christian Street and 2000 Christian Street Local
Partnerships, the combined financial statements of the Local Partnerships
for the year ended December 31, 1996 include a loss from impairment of
long-lived assets totaling $7,314,852, which represents an adjustment of
the real property of the Christian Street and 2000 Christian Street Local
Partnerships of $3,986,977 and $3,327,875, respectively, based on estimates
of expected future cash flows. The Partnership recorded additional equity
in loss of investment in Local Partnerships of $1,371,790 as a result of
such impairment. There has been no reduction in the future Low-income Tax
Credits anticipated to be generated by the properties.

The first mortgage of Ann Ell Local Partnership has been declared in
default due to insufficient deposits to the replacement reserve and the
lender has alleged certain other incidents of default including, among
other things, inadequate funding of real estate tax and insurance escrows
and failure to procure certain minimum insurance coverage, resulting in the
lender filing a foreclosure action and a motion for summary judgment. The
local general partner of the Ann Ell Local Partnership reports that the Ann
Ell Local Partnership incurred costs for capital improvements and
unscheduled maintenance which were in excess of the replacement reserve
funding requirement and further reports that the other incidents have been
wrongly alleged and has requested a meeting with the lender to discuss the
resolution of this matter. The Partnership has taken action to replace the
local general partner and the management agent of the Ann Ell Local
Partnership.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required to pay
the General Partner an annual management fee ("Management Fee") and an
annual additional management fee ("Additional Management Fee") for its
services in connection with the management of the affairs of the
Partnership, subject to certain provisions of the Partnership Agreement.
The annual Management Fee is equal to .14% of all proceeds as of December
31 of any year, invested or committed for investment in Local Partnerships
plus all debts of the Local Partnerships related to the Properties
("Invested Assets"). The Partnership incurred a Management Fee of $209,514
for each of the three years ended March 30, 1997. The annual Additional
Management Fee is equal to .06% of Invested Assets. The Partnership
incurred an Additional Management Fee of $89,793 for each of the three
years ended March 30, 1997. Such amounts are aggregated and reflected
under the caption management fees in the accompanying financial
statements. Unpaid Management Fees in the amount of $486,224 and $426,440
are recorded as payable to general partner in the accompanying balance
sheets as of March 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

In addition, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is
required to pay ML Fund Administrators Inc., an affiliate of the Selling
Agent, an annual administration fee ("Administration Fee") and an annual
additional administration fee ("Additional Administration Fee") for its
administrative services provided to the Partnership. The annual
Administration Fee is equal to .14% of Invested Assets. The Partnership
incurred an Administration Fee of $209,514 for each of the three years
ended March 30, 1997. The annual Additional Administration Fee is subject
to certain provisions of the Partnership Agreement and is equal to .06% of
Invested Assets. The Partnership incurred an Additional Administration Fee
of $89,793 for each of the three years ended March 30, 1997. Such amounts
are aggregated and reflected under the caption administration fees in the
accompanying financial statements. Unpaid Administration Fees in the
amount of $486,231 and $426,437 are included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets as of March 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively.

In connection with the Forest Village Local Partnership, the Partnership
facilitated the purchase of the first mortgage bonds (the "Series A
Bonds") at par by a group of investors (the "Group"). Though no member of
the Partnership is a participant of the Group, the individuals are closely
associated with the General Partner. Notwithstanding the close association
between the General Partner and the Group, the Group has all the rights
and remedies of the former first mortgagee. In connection with this
transaction, on November 12, 1993, the Partnership entered into a
Promissory Note and Loan Agreement (the "Note") with the Group for the
purpose of assisting the Partnership by providing advances to it so it may
help fund part of future operating deficits of the Forest Village Local
Partnership. The rate of interest is 10.5% per annum on the principal
balance from time to time outstanding. In the event that no balance is
outstanding under this Note, it shall continue as an effective instrument
at the option of the Group, to evidence future advances or re-advances
made by the Group. The entire outstanding principal balance and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full on
the earliest of the (i) final maturity of the Series A Bonds, (ii)
prepayment in full or default under the terms of the loan of the Series A
bonds or (iii) the sale or other disposition of the Forest Village Local
Partnership. The Note is nonrecourse except to the extent that the sum of
the amounts advanced under the Note and amounts received by the
Partnership from the Forest Village Local Partnership exceeds amounts paid
by the Partnership in connection with the Forest Village Local
Partnership. As of March 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership has no
outstanding advance due under the Note and has incurred no interest
charges for the years ended March 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

8. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

The rents of the Properties, many of which receive rental subsidy
payments, including payments under Section 8 of Title II of the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974 ("Section 8"), are subject to
specific laws, regulations and agreements with federal and state agencies.
The subsidy agreements expire at various times during and after the
Compliance Periods of the Local Partnerships. The United States Department
of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has issued notices which
implement provisions to renew certain project based Section 8 contracts
expiring during HUD's fiscal year 1997, where requested by an owner, for
an additional one year term generally at or below current rent levels,
subject to certain guidelines. HUD has an additional program which, in
general, provides for restructuring rents and/or mortgages where rents may
be adjusted to market levels and mortgage terms may be adjusted based on
the reduction in rents, although there may be instances in which only
rents, but not mortgages, are restructured. The Partnership cannot
reasonably predict legislative initiatives and governmental budget
negotiations, the outcome of which could result in a reduction in funds
available for the various federal and state administered housing programs
including the Section 8 program. Such changes could adversely affect the
future net operating income and debt structure of any or all Local
Partnerships currently receiving such subsidy or similar subsidies. Six
Local Partnerships' Section 8 contracts, which cover certain rental units,
are scheduled to expire in 1997, three of which expired during 1996 and
were extended for one year.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated
fair value amounts have been determined using available market
