SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Equus II Incorporated, Common Stock, $.001 Par 
Value) File No. 1-11362

June 12, 1998.
    Equus II Incorporated (``Company'') has filed an application with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Company's Security has been listed for trading on the Amex and, 
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A which became effective 
on May 20, 1998, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). Trading 
in the Company's Security on the NYSE commenced at the opening of 
business on May 20, 1998, and concurrently therewith such Security was 
suspended from trading on the Amex.
    The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the Amex by filing with 
such Exchange a certified copy of resolutions adopted by the Company's 
Board of Director's authorizing the withdrawal of its Security from 
listing and registration on the Amex and by setting forth in detail to 
such Exchange the reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts 
in support thereof. In making the decision to withdraw its Security 
from listing on the Amex, the Company considered the expense of 
maintaining a dual listing.
    The Exchange has informed the Company that it has no objection to 
the withdrawal of the Company's Security from listing and registration 
on the Amex.
    By reason of section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations 
thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated to file reports 
under Section 13 of the Act with the Commission and the NYSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before July 6, 1998, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
Exchange and what terms,

if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of 
investors. The Commission, based on the information submitted to it, 
will issue an order granting the application after the date mentioned 
above, unless the Commission determines to order a hearing on the 
matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
