PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
General Development of Business -
The Registrant is a Florida limited partnership (the "Partnership")
composed of Cypress Equipment Management Corporation II, a California
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cypress Leasing Corporation,
as the Managing General Partner; RJ Leasing - 2, Inc., a Florida
corporation and a second-tier subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc.,
as the Administrative General Partner; Raymond James Partners, Inc., a
Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond James
Financial, Inc., as the other General Partner; and purchasers of
partnership units as Limited Partners.
Financial Information about Industry Segments -
The Registrant is engaged in only one industry segment, to acquire
transportation, manufacturing, industrial and other capital equipment (the
"Equipment") and lease the Equipment to third parties.
Narrative Description of Business -
The Partnership's business is to acquire and lease equipment,
primarily through full payout and operating leases expected to generate
income over the useful life of the Equipment, and to generate cash
distributions to the Limited Partners from leasing revenues and proceeds
from the sale or other disposition of the Equipment owned by the
Partnership.
The Registrant has no direct employees. The General Partners have
full and exclusive discretion in management and control of the Partnership.
The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive and offers to
users an alternative to the purchase of nearly every type of equipment. In
seeking lessees, the Partnership will compete with manufacturers of
equipment who provide leasing programs and with established leasing
companies and equipment brokers. In addition, there are numerous other
potential investors, including limited partnerships, organized and managed
similarly to the Partnership, seeking to purchase equipment subject to
leases, some of which have greater financial resources and more experience
than the Partnership or the General Partners.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
The Registrant commenced operations in June 1992, and as of December
31, 1999, the original cost of Equipment owned by the Partnership was
$13,034,322. Equipment and related information consist of the following:

The Partnership paid $3,118,969 for the right to obtain title to a
specialty tug and barge on December 30, 2002, at the expiration of the
lease.
The Partnership is also a 50% partner in one other partnership with a
current net investment of $317,828.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In August 1998, Varilease Corporation filed an action against Cypress
in the circuit court for the Sixth Judicial Circuit, Pinellas County,
Florida. The suit alleges that Varilease continues to have an interest in
some equipment that Cypress purchased from Varilease in 1995, and seeks
monetary damages. The management of Cypress has retained counsel and
believes the suit is completely without merit.
On July 28, 1999 Cypress Equipment Fund II, LTD filed a lawsuit in Marin
County Superior Court against Ally Capital Partners I, L.P., Ally Capital
Holdings, Inc. and ETL Partners, L.P. (the two general partners of Ally
Capital Partners I) and E. Tod Lindner (the general partner of ETL
Partners). The suit stemmed from Ally Capital Partners' breach of contract
for the lease of 50 Automated Teller Machines from Cypress, and Ally
Capital Partners' continued wrongful use and possession of the ATMs.
Cypress seeks $335,199.36 in past rent due, $42,737.92 in late charges,
$708,265.70 in liquidated damages, plus attorneys fees and prejudgment
interest. Cypress has entered the default of Ally Capital Holdings,Inc.
The case is currently in Court-ordered mediation.
Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the fourth quarter of 1999.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Rental income decreased from $4,803,888 for the year ended December
31, 1998, to $3,066,577 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Equipment
which was sold provided $1,715,938 less revenue in 1999 than in 1998.
There was a net decrease of $21,373 in revenues of leases that were in
place. Interest income increased during the year ended December 31, 1999,
as compared to the year ended December 31, 1998, because of higher interest
rates and the Partnership had a higher average balance of cash for
investment. The equity in income in Partnerships decreased from $1,242,123
for the period ended December 31, 1998 to $662,349 for the period ended
December 31, 1999.
Interest expense decreased from $1,424,978 for the year ended December
31, 1998, to $225,651 for the year ended December 31, 1999. This decrease
primarily resulted from a decreased average level of debt during the
period.
Management fee expense decreased from $299,802 for the year ended December
31, 1998, to $65,351 for the year ended December 31, 1999 due mainly to
decreased rental revenues. Incentive management fees increased from $0 for
the year ended December 31, 1998, to $516,477 for the year ended December
31, 1999. The 4% incentive management fee was earned with the August 10,
1999, distribution as each Limited Partner has received cumulative cash
distributions equal to his capital contribution. Equipment resale fees
increased from $0 for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $1,970,078 for
the year ended December 31, 1999. The Equipment resale fee was deferred
without interest until the Limited Partners began receiving cumulative cash
distributions equal to payout plus an amount equal to 8% of adjusted
capital contributions per annum cumulative from each limited partner's
closing date.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, rental equipment with a book
value of $4,896,557 was sold for $3,319,276 resulting in a loss on sale of
$1,577,281. During the same period, the option that was to become
available in January 2000 was exercised. In February 1999 the lessee,
General Chemical Partners, was granted an early lease termination and the
option was exercised. General Chemical (Soda Ash) Partners purchased 624
rail cars producing a gain on sale of $1,845,048 for the Partnership. The
remaining 57 cars on this option were purchased by Southern Illinois
Railcar Company in December 1999 producing an additional gain on sale of
$39,424. These transactions netted the Partnership a $307,191 gain on the
sale of rental equipment.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, Equipment Held For Sale with
a book value of $3,672,601 was sold for $7,950,000 less $212,052 for sales
related expenses resulting in a net gain on sale of $4,065,348. During
this period an option on railcars was exercised. This purchase of
$2,244,035 increased Equipment Held For Sale. An off lease aircraft was
transferred to Equipment Held For Sale at a book value of $688,043.
This equipment is currently being remarketed.
The partnership had a loss of $861,681 in writing off a direct
financing lease.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership purchased
$345,456 of new equipment. The Partnership sold rental equipment with an
original cost of $8,847,064 for a net sale price of $10,431,101. These
sales produced a gain on sale of $2,989,664. The Partnership had a
casualty event which netted a gain of $103,033. Equipment Held for Sale
with a net book value of $432,473 was sold for $1,100,000 less disposition
expenses resulting in a gain of $639,250.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1,046,168 for the
year ended December 31, 1999 versus the year ended December 31, 1998, due
to an average depreciable basis of equipment of $28,744,000 during 1998
versus an average of $16,115,000 during 1999.
The net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted in a
net income of $11,551,809 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to
a net income of $4,560,365 for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Notes payable decreased $4,996,809 during the year ended December 31,
1999, due to deferred interest of $148,721 and $5,145,530 of principal
payments on notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary sources of funds for the year ended December 31, 1999,
were $9,406,326 from operating activities, $15,810,422 from the sale of the
Partnership's interest in a partnership, $12,116,236 from the sale of
rental equipment and $1,332,424 in distributions from other partnerships.
These sources were used primarily for $5,145,530 of notes payments and
$27,664,114 of distributions. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had
$2,680,389 of Cash and Cash Equivalents.
In the opinion of the General Partners there are no material trends,
favorable or unfavorable, in the Partnership's capital resources and the
resources will be sufficient to meet the Partnership's needs for the
foreseeable future.
Short-term liquidity requirements consist of funds needed to make
distributions and meet administrative expenses. These short-term needs
will be funded by cash from 2000 operations and Cash and Cash Equivalents
at December 31, 1999.
In the opinion of the General Partners, the Partnership has sufficient
funds or sources of funds to remain liquid for the expected life of the
Partnership. The General Partners are not aware of any trends that
significantly affect the Partnership's liquidity.
The cash balance at December 31, 1999, was $2,680,389. The
Partnership had net income of $11,551,809 and after adjusting for
depreciation and amortization and the changes in operating assets and
liabilities, net cash provided by operating activities was $9,406,326.
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $22,384,306. Cash used in
financing activities was primarily to make payments of notes payable of
$5,145,530 and distributions of $27,664,114.
Actual cash distributions were $27,664,114 in 1999 and $5,525,603 in
1998.
The Partnership anticipates that funds from operations in 2000 will be
adequate to cover all 2000 operating contingencies.

Cypress Equipment Fund II, Ltd.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Cypress Equipment Fund II, Ltd., (the "Partnership"), a Florida limited
partnership, was formed November 13, 1991, for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing transportation, manufacturing, industrial and other capital
equipment. The Partnership was funded with limited partner capital
contributions and commenced operations on June 22, 1992. The Partnership
will terminate on December 31, 2015, or sooner, in accordance with the
terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement.
Cypress Equipment Management Corporation II, a California corporation
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cypress Leasing Corporation, is the
Managing General Partner; RJ Leasing - 2, Inc., a Florida corporation and a
second-tier subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc., is the
Administrative General Partner; and Raymond James Partners, Inc., a Florida
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc.,
is the other General Partner.
Cash distributions, subject to payment of the equipment management fees
and incentive management fees, and profits and losses of the Partnership
shall be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners. Once each Limited Partner has received cumulative cash
distributions equal to his capital contributions, an incentive management
fee equaling 4% of cash available for distributions will be paid to the
General Partners. When each Limited Partner has received cumulative cash
distributions equal to his capital contributions plus an amount equal to
8% of adjusted capital contributions per annum, an incentive management fee
equaling 23% of cash available for distributions will be paid to the
General Partners.
As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership has received Limited and
General Partner capital contributions of $36,469,000 and $2,000,
respectively.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The Partnership utilizes the accrual basis of accounting whereby
revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized as
obligations are incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
It is the Partnership's policy to include all money market funds and FTN
Repurchase Agreements in Cash and Cash Equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and
rents receivable. The cash investments are placed in high credit quality
financial institutions and in a money market mutual fund that is managed by
a wholly owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc. The Partnership
receives rental income exclusively from lessees. Management does not
believe that significant credit risk exists in relation to these accounts
at December 31, 1999.
The Partnership maintains deposits in excess of federally insured
limits. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105 requires
disclosure regardless of the degree of risk.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates are based on
management's knowledge and experience. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Offering and Commission Costs
Offering and commission costs are charged against Limited Partners'
Equity upon admission of Limited Partners.
Leases
Operating
The Partnership accounts for qualifying leases in accordance with the
operating method. Under the operating method of accounting, the leased
equipment is recorded as an asset at cost and depreciated on the declining
balance method using a ten to forty year life. Rental income is recognized
ratably over the term of the leases.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121). In accordance with
SFAS 121, the Fund reviews the carrying value of its equipment at least
annually in relation to expected future market conditions for the purpose
of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If projected
undiscounted cash flows (future lease revenue plus residual values) are
less than the carrying value of the equipment, a loss on revaluation is
recorded. There were no write-downs required during 1999.
Direct Financing Lease
The Partnership wrote down its Investment in Direct Financing Lease to
$0 due to default by the lessee, control of, and location of the equipment.
See Note 12.
Investment In Partnerships
The Partnership accounts for its investments in partnerships using the
equity method of accounting because the Partnership does not have a
majority control of the major operating and financial policies of the
partnerships in which it invests. Under the equity method, the investment
is carried at cost, adjusted for the Partnership's share of income or loss
of the partnership in which it has invested, and additional investments and
cash distributions from the partnership.
Equipment Held for Sale
The Partnership's policy is to transfer off-lease equipment that is held
for sale to Equipment Held for Sale at the lower of its net book value or
its market value. If the value of the equipment subsequently declines, the
carrying amount is adjusted.
Income Taxes
Federal and state income tax regulations provide that taxes on the
income or loss of the Partnership are reportable by the Partners in their
individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for such taxes
has been made.
Per Unit Computations
Per unit computations are based on 36,469 of $1,000 limited partnership
units outstanding for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
Reclassification
For comparability, 1997 figures have been reclassified where appropriate
to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 1998 and 1999.
The following amounts on the 1997 Statement of Operations have been
reclassified to Equity in Income of Partnerships: Lease Revenue $267,922;
Interest Expense $24,627; and Depreciation $207,654. These
reclassifications had no effect on net income or partners' capital for the
year.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
General Partners
The General Partners have contributed a total of $2,000 to the
Partnership.
In accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the
Administrative and Managing General Partners were paid or had accrued
acquisition fees of $43,525, $0, and $116,352 for services related to
locating and leasing equipment (2.85% of the purchase price); equipment
management fees of $65,351, $299,802, and $288,328, (5% of gross rentals
from rental equipment subject to operating leases, 2% of gross rentals
from rental equipment subject to full payout leases, or 1% of gross
rentals from rental equipment subject to operating leases for which the
Administrative and Managing General Partners arrange for and actively
supervise the performance of services); incentive management fees of
$516,477, $0, $0; resale fees of $1,970,078,$0,$0 in 1999, 1998, and
1997, respectively. Gross rentals for purposes of calculating equipment
management fees include cash revenues received by the Partnership
subsequent to the date of purchase including cash revenues that relate
to periods prior to the date of purchase. General Partner distributions
were $276,640, $55,253, and $36,832 for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
Affiliates of the General Partner
The following amounts were paid or accrued to affiliates of the General
Partners: $54,517 in 1999, $57,804 in 1998, and $69,281 in 1997 for
reimbursement of general and administrative expenses on an accountable
basis.
NOTE 4 - LEASES
The initial lease terms of the equipment are generally 5 to 25 years.
Future minimum rentals to be received from the operating leases at December
31, 1999, are as follows:
Year Ending

NOTE 5 - OPTIONS
During 1995, the partnership purchased three options to acquire
equipment at the termination of the current leases. The Partnership
accounted for these options at costs of $748,405, $674,124, and $1,608,122.
The exercise dates are July 1997, August 1999, and January 2000 with
exercise prices of $566,684, $1,535,122, and $5,107,500, respectively. In
July 1997 the Partnership exercised the option and paid the strike price of
$566,686. The equipment was immediately sold and the partnership realized
a net gain of $548,588.
In August 1999, the partnership exercised the second option and paid the
strike price of $1,535,122. The equipment is currently being re-marketed.
(See Subsequent Events - Note 11) During the year ended December 31, 1999,
the third option that was to become available in January 2000 was
exercised. In February 1999 the lessee, General Chemical Partners, was
granted an early lease termination and General Chemical (Soda Ash) Partners
purchased 624 rail cars producing a gain on sale of $1,845,048 for the
Partnership. The remaining 57 cars on this option were purchased by
Southern Illinois Railcar Company in December 1999 producing an additional
gain on sale of $39,424.
NOTE 6 - DEPOSIT ON EQUIPMENT
During 1996 the Partnership paid $3,109,549 for the right to obtain
title to certain equipment on December 31, 2002, at the expiration of the
lease.
NOTE 7 - INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIPS
During 1997 the Partnership acquired a 50% interest in a Limited
Partnership which purchased intermodal marine containers and chassis for
approximately $1.7 million. These containers and chassis are on lease to
Transamerica Leasing for a term of three years.
During 1999 the Partnership sold its 40% interest in a partnership,
which owns a recovery boiler facility, used in the production of wood pulp
and on lease to International Paper.

Capital Partners' continued wrongful use and possession of the ATMs.
Cypress seeks $335,199.36 in past rent due, $42,737.92 in late charges,
$708,265.70 in liquidated damages, plus attorneys fees and prejudgment
