         This Amendment No. 8 amends certain information contained in the
Schedule 13D filed jointly by Michael L. Ashner and HX Investors, L.P. on
February 25, 2002 with respect to Shelbourne Properties II, Inc. (the
"Company"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on March 14, 2002, as
further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on March 26, 2002, as further
amended by Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on March 27, 2002, as further amended
by Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on April 8, 2002, and as further amended by
Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on April 19, 2002, as further amended by Amendment
No. 6 thereto filed on April 30, 2002, as further amended by Amendment No. 7
thereto filed on May 16, 2002 (as amended, the "13D"). Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the 13D.


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         On May 22, 2002, HX, together with a number of other stockholders,
filed a Complaint against the Company, Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and
Shelbourne Properties III, Inc. in the Chancery Court for the County of New
Castle, State of Delaware (the "Court") seeking an order (i) declaring invalid
the reduction of the number of members of the Board of Directors from nine to
four and simultaneous appointments of the current directors, (ii) declaring that
the current directors serve in de facto capacities only, and (iii) directing the
Company to hold a stockholder election on a date certain, with appropriate
record dates, for the purpose of electing directors to all nine seats on the
Board of Directors, by further ordering defendants to maintain the status quo
ante by not filling any of the six vacant seats on the Board of Directors
pending the succession of the holdover initial directors by those elected
pursuant to such stockholder election, and by further ordering the Company to
take all such steps as are necessary to lawfully implement and effectuate such
elections, and further ordering all such additional equitable relief as the
Court deems just.

         In addition, HX independently filed a motion with the Court seeking to
intervene in the actions brought by certain other stockholders of the Company
relating to the setting of a date for the 2002 annual meeting of the Company's
stockholders and, in the case of one of the actions, the declaration as to the
number of seats on the Board of Directors to be voted upon at such meeting.

         HX has indicated in its Court filings that it intends to nominate a
slate of directors for election at the 2002 annual meeting of stockholders of
the Company and at each of the annual meetings of stockholders of Shelburne
Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties III, Inc.
