NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates II (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of DBL Properties Corporation, (“DBL” or the "General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The General Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 balances to conform to 2009 presentation.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the accompanying statements of discontinued operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are presented to reflect the operations of Presidential House Apartments as discontinued operations. The Partnership entered into a sale contract in March 2009 to sell Presidential House Apartments to a third party. On July 15, 2009 the Partnership sold Presidential House Apartments to a third party for a total sales price of $12,585,000. The respective assets and liabilities of Presidential House Apartments are classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The Partnership’s management evaluated for subsequent events through the time this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed on August 12, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, or SFAS No. 168, which is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Upon the effective date of SFAS No. 168, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or the Codification, will become the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. Following SFAS No. 168, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates that serve to update the Codification. The Partnership does not anticipate that SFAS No. 168 will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and reimbursements of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's investment property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $53,000 and $57,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which is included in operating expenses.

An affiliate of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $118,000 and $99,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses and investment property. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $102,000 and $75,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Partnership owed an affiliate of the General Partner approximately $77,000 and $59,000, respectively, of accrued accountable administrative expenses, which is included in due to affiliates.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, an affiliate of the General Partner, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $759,000 and $767,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, to cover capital expenditures and operating expenses. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the balance of the advances, including accrued interest, was approximately $3,012,000 and $2,183,000, respectively, which is included in due to affiliates. Interest is charged at the prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at June 30, 2009). Interest expense of approximately $70,000 and $14,000 was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to June 30, 2009 additional advances of approximately $210,000 were received from AIMCO Properties, L.P. to fund operating expenses. Also, subsequent to June 30, 2009 the Partnership repaid approximately $1,426,000 in principal and interest from proceeds received from the sale of Presidential House Apartments. The Partnership does not anticipate that there will be sufficient cash available to fully repay the amounts due to AIMCO Properties, L.P.

The Partnership insures its property up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $117,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $45,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Note C – Environmental Spill

In March 2008, Presidential House Apartments sustained damage from a diesel fuel spill resulting from an underground storage tank leak. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership incurred costs of approximately $321,000, which were included in operating expenses. The cleanup was completed as of December 31, 2008 at a total cost of approximately $688,000. The Partnership does not expect to incur any additional costs related to the cleanup. The Partnership received approximately $251,000 of insurance proceeds during the second half of 2008 related to this loss. The Partnership also incurred approximately $41,000 of capitalizable costs associated with this event. There was no recognition of a casualty gain or loss as the damaged assets were fully depreciated. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Partnership received approximately $117,000 of additional insurance proceeds related to this loss which were included as a reduction to operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The Partnership continues to discuss this event with its insurance carrier and additional insurance proceeds may be received.

Note D - Subsequent Event – Sale of Investment Property

On July 15, 2009, the Partnership sold Presidential House Apartments, its sole investment property, to a third party for a total sales price of $12,585,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $1,802,000 after payment of closing costs and the assumption of the mortgages encumbering the property of approximately $9,973,000 by the buyer. The Partnership used approximately $1,426,000 to repay a portion of the unpaid advances and accrued interest from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership does not anticipate that there will be sufficient cash available to fully repay the amounts due to AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership anticipates recognizing a gain, during the third quarter of 2009, of approximately $6,282,000 as a result of the sale. In addition, the Partnership anticipates recognizing a loss on extinguishment of debt, during the third quarter of 2009, of approximately $213,000 as a result of the write off of unamortized loan costs. Due to the sale of its sole investment property, the Partnership expects to liquidate by June 30, 2010.

Note E – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", as amended by SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined in the SFAS as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its long-term debt by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, long-term debt. At June 30, 2009, the fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate was approximately $10,344,000.

Note F – Contingencies

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions. In the second quarter 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts have been dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees were paid by those partnerships where the respective employees had worked. The Partnership was not required to pay any settlement amounts. At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. The parties have selected six “on-call” claims that will proceed forward through the arbitration process and have selected arbitrators. The arbitrations have not yet been scheduled. The General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.

The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

Environmental

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property, including lead-based paint. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of its property, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property. As discussed in “Note C”, the Partnership incurred clean up expenses of approximately $321,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 related to a diesel fuel spill at Presidential House Apartments. The cleanup was completed as of December 31, 2008 at a total cost of approximately $688,000. The Partnership does not expect to incur any additional costs related to the cleanup. The Partnership received approximately $251,000 of insurance proceeds during the second half of 2008 related to this loss. The Partnership also incurred approximately $41,000 of capitalizable costs associated with this event. There was no recognition of a casualty gain or loss as the damaged assets were fully depreciated. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Partnership received approximately $117,000 of additional insurance proceeds related to this loss. The Partnership continues to discuss this event with its insurance carrier and additional insurance proceeds may be received.

Mold

The Partnership is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. Affiliates of the General Partner have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the General Partner believes that these measures will prevent or eliminate mold exposure and will minimize the effects that mold may have on residents. To date, the Partnership has not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the General Partner can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Quarterly Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of redevelopments, the Partnership’s future financial performance, including the Partnership’s ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy and rent levels, and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and , in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors that are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership’s property and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets ; insurance risk; development risks; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the Partnership. Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Partnership owns and operates one investment property: Presidential House Apartments, a residential apartment complex located in North Miami Beach, Florida. The average occupancy for Presidential House Apartments was 93% and 95% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment property, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively affect the Partnership’s financial results.

Results of Operations

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the statements of discontinued operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are presented to reflect the operations of Presidential House Apartments as discontinued operations. The Partnership entered into a sale contract in March 2009 to sell Presidential House Apartments to a third party. On July 15, 2009 the Partnership sold Presidential House Apartments to a third party for a total sale price of $12,585,000. The respective assets and liabilities of Presidential House Apartments are classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The Partnership had net income of approximately $4,000 and a net loss of approximately $124,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to a net loss of approximately $244,000 and $372,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The decrease in net loss for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 is due to a decrease in total expenses partially offset by a decrease in total revenues.

The decrease in total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to a decrease in the average rental rate and occupancy at the Partnership’s investment property. The decrease in total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to a decrease in rental income as a result of a decrease in the average rental rate and occupancy at the Partnership’s investment property and an increase in bad debt expense, partially offset by an increase in other income. Other income increased due to increases in lease cancellation fees and late fees.

The decrease in total expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 is due to decreases in operating expenses, partially offset by increases in depreciation and interest expenses. Property tax and general and administrative expenses remained constant for the comparable periods. Operating expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 due to a decrease in cleanup costs incurred in 2008 related to a diesel fuel spill and the accrual of insurance proceeds in 2009 related to the cleanup, as discussed below, along with a decrease in property expense, partially offset by an increase in insurance expense. Property expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to decreased utility costs, salary and related benefit costs and decreased referral fees. Property expense decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to decreases in utility costs, and salary and related benefit costs. Insurance expense increased due to an increase in the Partnership’s hazard insurance premiums. Interest expense increased due to an increase in interest on advances received from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, as a result of an increase in advances received during 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009. Depreciation expense increased due to assets placed into service during the past twelve months which are being depreciated. Assets were no longer being depreciated as of May 31, 2009 due to the investment property being classified as held for sale at May 31, 2009.

In March 2008, Presidential House Apartments sustained damage from a diesel fuel spill resulting from an underground storage tank leak. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership incurred costs of approximately $321,000, which are included in operating expenses. The cleanup was completed as of December 31, 2008 at a total cost of approximately $688,000. The Partnership does not expect to incur any additional costs related to the cleanup. The Partnership received approximately $251,000 of insurance proceeds during the second half of 2008 related to this loss. The Partnership also incurred approximately $41,000 of capitalizable costs associated with this event. There was no recognition of a casualty gain or loss as the damaged assets were fully depreciated. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Partnership received approximately $117,000 of additional insurance proceeds related to this loss which were included as a reduction to operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The Partnership continues to discuss this event with its insurance carrier and additional insurance proceeds may be received.

Included in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses for both periods are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2009, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6,000, compared to approximately $9,000 at June 30, 2008. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $26,000 from December 31, 2008 is due to approximately $753,000 of cash used in investing activities, partially offset by approximately $699,000 and $28,000 of cash provided by financing and operating activities, respectively. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances from an affiliate of the General Partner, partially offset by payments on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership’s investment property. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical asset and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance.

Presidential House

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Partnership completed approximately $754,000 of capital improvements at Presidential House Apartments, consisting primarily of elevator costs, kitchen and bath improvements, interior and exterior building improvements and roof replacements. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner. On July 15, 2009, the Partnership sold Presidential House Apartments to a third party.

The Partnership's assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of repayment of advances from affiliates) of the Partnership. The first and second mortgages totaling approximately $9,984,000 encumbering Presidential House Apartments were scheduled to mature in July 2020 and July 2018, respectively, at which time balloon payments totaling approximately $3,661,000 and $4,625,000, respectively, were due. In connection with the sale of the property on July 15, 2009 the mortgages were assumed by the buyer.

There were no distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008. The General Partner has evaluated the cash requirements of the Partnership and determined that the net sales proceeds and any other remaining cash will be used to repay outstanding loans and payables to an affiliate of the General Partner. No distribution to partners is anticipated.

Other

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 18,739 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 50.28% of the outstanding Units at June 30, 2009. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 50.28% of the outstanding Units at June 30, 2009, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Investment property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment property. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; and changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership’s asset.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
