Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a) On June 7, 2013, Real Estate Associates Limited II, a California limited partnership (the “Registrant”), dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm effective on that date. As previously reported in Item 7.01 of the report on Form 8-K furnished on December 26, 2012, the general partner of the Registrant was acquired by Bethesda Holdings II, LLC (“Bethesda”). As part of the process of transitioning the management and operations of the Registrant’s general partner from the prior owner, Bethesda has sought to transition the Registrant’s independent accountant. As previously disclosed in the Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on April 1, 2013, the Registrant has no directors, and there are two general partners responsible for conducting the business of the Partnership. The general partners have approved the dismissal of E&Y.

None of E&Y’s audit reports on the Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was any such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In addition, at no point during the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and the subsequent interim period through June 7, 2013 were there any (1) disagreements with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports, or (2) "reportable events" as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On June 7, 2013, the Registrant provided E&Y with a copy of the disclosure set forth in this Item 4.01 and requested that E&Y furnish the Registrant with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether E&Y agrees with the statements made in this Item 4.01, each as required by applicable SEC rules. A copy of the letter, dated June 13, 2013, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) Effective on June 7, 2013, the general partners of the Registrant approved the appointment of Carter & Company, CPA, LLC (“Carter”) as the Registrant’s new independent registered public accounting firm to perform independent audit services for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, and through June 7, 2013, neither the Registrant, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted Carter regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Registrant by Carter that was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a "disagreement" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a "reportable event" (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
