State below in reasonable detail why forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the
transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed
time period.

         Shelbourne Properties II, Inc. (the "Company") is currently run by a
         management company and currently has no executive officers. As well,
         the Company, along with Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne
         Properties III, Inc. (collectively, the "Companies") has entered into a
         stock purchase agreement with HX Investors, L.P. ("HX Investors") and
         Exeter Capital Corporation, the general partner of HX Investors,
         pursuant to which HX Investors has conducted a tender offer that, if
         successful, will result in HX Investors gaining control of the Board of
         Directors of the Company and the resignation of the members of the
         current Board of Directors. That tender offer is scheduled to expire at
         midnight on Friday, August 16, 2002. In light of those facts, the
         Company intends to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q on August 19,
         2002.


PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
     notification


        Richard J. McReady              (212)                 319-2623
     --------------------------     ----------------   -------------------------
              (Name)                  (Area Code)           (Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic report required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the

1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no,
identify report(s). |X| Yes |_| No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in result of operations from
the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? |X|
Yes |_| No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.

         It is anticipated that a significant change in result of operations
         from the three months ended June 30, 2001 will be reflected by the
         earnings statements to be included in the subject report respecting the
         three months ended June 30, 2002. A narrative and quantitative
         explanation of the anticipated changes follows.

         Net income

         The Company incurred a net loss of $1,493,391, a decrease of
         $2,425,735, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $932,344 for
         the same period in 2001. This decrease in net income was primarily due
         to the incurrence of legal, professional and consulting fees
         $1,952,019. These fees were largely incurred in legal fees relating to
         lawsuits filed subsequent to the Transaction and the settlements of
         those lawsuits. The Company incurred $299,454 of interest expense on
         the proceeds of the initial borrowing under the Credit Facility.

         Rental Revenues

         Rental revenues decreased by $78,496, or 6%, to $1,244,039 for the
         three months ended June 30, 2002 from $1,322,535 for the same period in
         2001. This is primarily due to a loss of rental revenue of $255,411
         following the sale of Commonwealth Industrial Park on December 6, 2001.
         This loss was primarily offset by increased revenues at Matthews
         Festival of $170,230 due to the lease of space that was vacant during
         the same three months in 2001.

         Income

         Income (defined as rental revenues, equity income from joint ventures,
         interest and other income) decreased $161,003, or 6.7%, to $2,257,952
         for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $2,418,955 for the same
         period in 2001 primarily due to the decrease in rental revenue as a
         result of the sale of the Commonwealth Industrial Park property, which
         was partially offset by the increased income at Melrose Crossing and
         Matthews Festival from the lease of previously vacant space. Equity
         income from joint ventures decreased due to increased vacancy at the
         Seattle Tower property. Interest income decreased by $26,351, or 37.3%
         to $44,388 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $70,739 for
         the same period in 2001 due to significantly lower cash balances and
         lower yields on cash and cash equivalent investments.

         Costs and Expenses

         Total costs and expenses, including interest expense, for the three
         months ended June 30, 2002, amounted to $3,751,343, an increase of
         $2,264,732 as compared to $1,486,611 for the same period in 2001,
         primarily due to payments of approximately $2,254,000 for legal,
         professional and consulting fees in connection with the lawsuits and
         settlement of those lawsuits.

         The sale of the Commonwealth Industrial Property is primarily
         responsible for the slight decrease in property operating expense and
         management fees.
