               GRIFFIN REAL ESTATE FUND-II, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business

         The registrant, Griffin Real Estate Fund-II, A Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized on September 19, 1980 under the laws of the State
of Minnesota. The Partnership was formed by the general partner, Investment
Associates, a Minnesota general partnership, to acquire existing,
income-producing real properties for rental purposes. On February 2, 1981 the
Partnership commenced an offering of $10,000,000 pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering terminated
December 15, 1982 upon the acceptance of 2200 units $11,000,000), the maximum
allowed under the registration.

         The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of real estate
investment, and is limiting its investment to the real property acquired at its
inception plus reasonable repairs and capital improvements. The goal of these
investments is to generate both capital gain income and current income from cash
flow. The Partnership does not invest in real estate mortgages, securities of or
interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities, or in other
securities. A presentation of information about industry segments is not
applicable and would not be material to an understanding of the Partnership's
business taken as a whole.

         The General Partner manages and controls all of the affairs of the
Partnership, including deciding when and on what terms properties should be sold
or refinanced.

         As of December 31, 1995 the Partnership has made the real property
investments set forth in the following table:

     Name, type of property                            Date of      Type of
        and location (a)             Size             Purchase    Ownership(b)

2.  Candleridge Apartments           138 units        12/30/81   Mortgage Note
    Urbandale, Iowa

3.  Lunnonhaus Village Apts.         285 units         5/06/82   Mortgage Note
    Golden, Colorado

4.  Olde English Village Apts.       264 units         8/31/82   Mortgage Note
    West Des Moines, Iowa

(a)   Reference is made to Schedule III of this annual report.

(b)   Reference is made to Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements
      filed with this annual report for the current outstanding
      principal balances and a description of the long-term
      indebtedness secured by the Partnership's real property
      investments;

         The Terms of Transactions between the Partnership and affiliates of the
General Partner are described in Item 11 to which reference is hereby made.

It is the Partnership's policy to conduct its business activities in accordance
with the Partnership Agreement which may not be changed without a vote of a
majority of the Limited Partnership units outstanding. Pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may not issue senior securities, make
loans to other persons, invest in the securities of other entities for the
purposes of exercising control, underwrite the securities of others or offer
securities in exchange for property.

As circumstances dictate, the Partnership has the right under the Partnership
Agreement to borrow money, and to use its investments in real property as
collateral for that debt up to a maximum of 75% loan to value. The Olde English
Village. Apartments were refinanced on June 30, 1994. No other refinancings
occurred in 1995, 1994, or 1993. There is no limit on the number of mortgages
that may be taken out on any one piece of the Partnership's real properties.

The Partnership Agreement provides for the redemption of limited partnership
units under certain circumstances. In 1995, 1994, and 1993 the Partnership
redeemed two, zero and seven units respectively.

It is the policy of the General Partner to report on a quarterly basis to the
limited partners. Each interim report contains limited financial reporting with
a management discussion of operations and goals for the Partnership. The annual
report contains financial statements that are audited by independent public
accountants, and is accompanied by a management discussion of operations and
goals.

It is the opinion of the General Partner that the Partnership's properties are
adequately covered by insurance.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

         On September 20, 1995 Everest Investors, LLC ("Everest") filed a
lawsuit in Hennepin County Minnesota's Fourth Judicial District Court against
Investment Associates ("General Partner"), the general partner of Griffin Real
Estate Fund-II, A Limited Partnership ("Partnership"). The lawsuit alleged that
the General Partner had wrongfully denied Everest access to the books and
records of the Partnership. The court granted, in part, Everest's request for
access to the books and records and ordered the General Partner to provide
Everest access to these records. The General Partner complied with this court
order. Everest continued to seek access to additional books and records of the
Partnership beyond the scope of the court order. The General Partner vigorously
defended the Partnership's right to keep its proprietary records from being
reviewed by Everest, who has not been admitted as a limited partner of the
Partnership despite having been assigned a financial interest in 126 units by
some original limited partners. The General Partner filed for a dismissal of the
matter. The court heard arguments on September 29, 1995, October 26, 1995 and
November 17, 1995. On November 27, 1995 the court dismissed Everest's lawsuit.
Everest appealed the dismissal in the Minnesota Court of Appeals on March 12,
1996 and a decision is pending.

(b)      Cash distributions of $1,500 per Limited Partnership unit have been
         made to the Limited Partners since the inception of the Partnership.
         None of these distributions have resulted in taxable income to such
         Limited Partners and have therefore all represented a return of capital
         under generally accepted accounting principals. Each Partner's taxable
         income (or loss) from the Partnership in each year is equal to his
         allocable share of the taxable income (loss) of the Partnership,
         without regard to cash generated or distributed by the Partnership.

(c)      Income (loss) before extraordinary item, extraordinary item, and net

         current year, using weighted average).

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

         Everest Investors, LLC, A California Limited Liability Company
("Everest") commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 600 of the outstanding
limited partnership interests ("units") at a purchase price of $2,387.50 per
unit net to the seller in cash, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
an offer to purchase dated April 21, 1995. The General Partner of the
Partnership determined that the offer price was inadequate in comparison to the
liquidation value of the units and recommended to the Limited Partners that they
not tender any units in response to the Everest Offer to Purchase. The tender
offer expired on July 12, 1995, with Everest acquiring a total of 126 units.

         Everest was also attempting to change the Partnership Agreement in
several ways by sending the Limited Partners a solicitation of consent, which
expired on August 18, 1995. The General Partner had determined that the proposed
changes were not in the interests of the Limited Partners and recommended that
consent to change not be given. The solicitation of consent was unsuccessful.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Summary of Operations - 1995 Compared to 1994

         During 1995, the Partnership and its properties turned in another solid
year of performance. As a result of the improved performance of the property
portfolio, the Partnership was able to continue distributions in 1995. Units
held of record for calendar year 1995 received a distribution of $320 per unit
(including distributions paid in January 1996) or an annual return of 6.4%.

         Physical occupancy increased an average of 1.1% from 96.8% to 97.7%.
Individually physical occupancy increased at two of the four properties.
Candleridge Apartments increased from an average of 95% to 97.5% and Olde
English Village Apartments increased from an average of 95.5% to 98.3%.
Lunnonhaus Apartments physical occupancy remained the same at an average of
99.5% for both years. Physical occupancy at Villas of Patricia Park Apartments
declined from an average of 97% to 95.5%.

         Rental rates of the property portfolio increased 4.7%. Individually
rental rates increased at all properties, with increases ranging from the
smallest increase of 3.5% at Villas of Patricia Park Apartments to the greatest
increase of 6.2% at Lunnonhaus Village Apartments.

         As a result of increased rental rates and improved occupancy, plus the
increase in interest and other income, overall revenue increased by
approximately $324,200.

         Interest expense increased as a result of the increased interest rate
on the Olde English Village Apartments mortgage debt. The Olde English Village
loan terms include an adjustable rate of interest which adjusts every three
months based on three month treasury bills. Interest rate increased from 7.8% in
1994 to a high of 9.3% in May of 1995. Interest rates began to decline again in
1995 ending the year at 8.8%. The mortgage debt on the other three properties
have a fixed rate of interest which was the same in both years.

         Real estate tax expense declined in total by approximately $29,400 as a
result of overestimating the real estate tax liability for 1994. Actual assessed
values in 1995 were not increased materially from that of 1994.

         The decline in utilities expense was essentially due to the approximate
$39,000 decline in utility expense at Lunnonhaus Village Apartments. The decline
in utilities was a result of two factors. A milder winter heating season during
the winter of 1994-1995 versus 1993-1994. Also savings resulted from prior
expenditures on energy saving devices in the heating system throughout the
property.

         The approximate $133,000 increase in administrative expenses was
essentially due to the legal fees incurred by the Partnership in connection with
Everest's tender offer and solicitation of consent.

         Despite the overall increase in total expense, the Partnership
increased its Net Operating Income by approximately $173,500.

         During the year, the Partnership invested approximately $597,000 in
physical improvements to the properties. The majority of these expenditures were
made for physical improvements to the Olde English Village Apartments and
Lunnonhaus Village Apartments. At Olde English Village, the exterior renovations
were completed and a major landscaping project was also completed. At Lunnonhaus
Village, the expenditures were incurred for landscaping. At Candleridge and
Villas of Patricia Park Apartments, expenditures were made for improvements to
the garages and landscaping.

         Summary of Operations - 1994 Compared to 1993

         Rental rates for the property portfolio on average increased 3.7%.
Physical occupancy for the property portfolio on average increased from 95.8% to
96.8%. Due to improved occupancy and collections, total revenue increased by
approximately $263,500. Individually, each property in the portfolio experienced
an increase in revenue.

         The approximate $39,400 decline in interest expense is essentially due
to the refinancing of Olde English Village Apartments, which was completed on
June 30, 1994. The refinancing reduced the blended interest rate for the retired
first and second mortgages from 9.3% to 7.8%. The monthly debt service was
initially reduced from $48,674 to $44,675, a savings of $3,999 per month,
however, rising short term interest rates have caused the loan's adjustable
interest rate to increase correspondingly.

         Real estate tax expense increased by approximately $81,300 due to
rising property assessments. Assessed valuations are used as a base for the
computation of the real estate taxes. Assessed valuations have increased because
of improved property operations throughout the portfolio.

         Repairs and maintenance expense increased by approximately $281,800 as
a result of additional expenditures made at all properties which were not
required to be capitalized as additional property purchases. The majority of
these expenditures were made at Lunnonhaus and Olde English Village Apartments
for various building repairs and cosmetic improvements.

         Although revenue for the year increased, increasing expenses, in
particular in the repair and maintenance categories resulted in a decline in Net
Income.

         Improved operating results in the last quarter of 1994 allowed the
Partnership to resume distributions to holders of record on December 31, 1994 in
the amount of $62.50 per unit or an annualized return of 5%.


LIQUIDITY

         The Partnership had approximately $1,044,300 of cash reserves on hand
at December 31, 1995. This should provide the Partnership with ample liquidity
with which to operate the properties and provide for capitol improvements to the
property portfolio in the near term and into the future. The Partnership will be
committing approximately $250,000 to external improvements to Lunnonhaus Village
Apartments and approximately $150,000 to the remodeling of the entry ways at
Olde English Apartments.

         Although there can be no assurance of continuing cash flow from
property operations, if anticipated cash flow is realized, the Partnership
intends on continuing distributions in 1996 at an annual rate of $300 or 6% per
unit.

        Although there can be no assurance that a sale will be completed,
Partnership plans call for the sale of Candleridge and Villas of Patricia Park
Apartments during 1996. A purchaser has not yet been identified, but a marketing
plan has been established. The plan includes developing marketing materials,
offering the property in advertising in several publications and mass mailing to
prospective buyers. Upon the successful completion of the sale of these
properties, sales proceeds will be distributed.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT



Griffin Real Estate Fund-II,
A Limited Partnership
Minneapolis, Minnesota


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Griffin Real Estate Fund-II,
A Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of operations, changes in partner's deficit, and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedules listed in the table of contents at
Exhibit I. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Griffin Real Estate Fund-II, A
Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows of each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

                          GRIFFIN REAL ESTATE FUND-II,
                              A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Description of the Partnership - Griffin Real Estate Fund-II, A Limited
      Partnership (the Partnership), was organized on September 18, 1980 under
      the laws of the State of Minnesota. As of December 31, 1995 there are
      2,200 limited partnership units authorized and 2,185 outstanding.

      Statements of Cash Flows - For the purpose of the statements of cash
      flows, the Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments with
      an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
      equivalents of $1,044,305, and $742,672 at December 31, 1995 and 1994
      respectively, consist of government money market portfolios with banks and
      are recorded at cost which approximates market value. The Partnership
      places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial
      institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of the FDIC
      insurance limit.

      Use of Estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of
      revenue and expense during the reported period. Actual results could
      differ from those estimates.

      Financial Instruments
      The carrying amounts for all financial instruments approximates fair
      value. The carrying amounts for cash, receivables, accounts payable and
      accrued liabilities, and loans payable approximate fair value because of
      the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt
      approximates the current rates at which the Partnership could borrow funds
      with similar remaining maturities.

      Properties and Depreciation - Properties are stated at cost including
      capitalized acquisition fees and are depreciated using a straight-line
      method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (buildings,
      25 years; furnishings and equipment, 5 years). For income tax purposes,
      the Partnership depreciates the buildings over 15 to 19 years using the
      Accelerated Cost Recovery System. Building improvements made subsequent to
      January 1, 1987 are depreciated over 27.5 years using the Modified Cost
      Recovery System for tax purposes.

      Escrow Deposits - The escrow deposits consist of funds held for future
      payment of real estate taxes, insurance premiums and replacement reserves
      for major expenditures.

      Leases - Apartment leases are generally renewable on a six month to one
      year basis.

      Offering Costs - Expenses incurred in connection with the registration and
      offering of the partnership units syndication costs, including selling
      commissions and advertising, are recorded as a reduction of Partners'
      Equity. Such costs are not deductible for income tax purposes by the
      Partnership nor its partners.

      Debt Financing Costs - Costs incurred in connection with securing
      financing on Partnership properties have been capitalized and are being
      amortized on the straight-line basis over the remaining life of the
      related financing agreement.

      Income Taxes - The financial statements of the Partnership do not include
      a provision for income taxes as the income and losses of the Partnership
      are allocated to the individual partners for inclusion in their income tax
      returns.

      Net Income Per Limited Partnership Unit - The net income per limited
      partnership unit is computed by dividing the net income allocated to
      limited partners by the weighted average number of limited partnership
      units outstanding during the year.

      Recently Issued Accounting Standards
      The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 121
      Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets, which requires the
      recognition of impairments on long lived assets in the Statements of
      Operations. This statement is effective for years beginning after December
      15, 1995. This SFAS is not expected to have a material effect on the
      Partnership.

2.    ORGANIZATION

      The Partnership was formed by the general partner, Investment Associates,
      a Minnesota general partnership, to acquire existing, income-producing
      real properties for rental purposes. Investment Associates is not required
      to make any capital contributions to the Partnership.

      The Limited Partnership Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership
      (Partnership Agreement) contains certain provisions, among others,
      described as follows:

      *     The management and general responsibility of operating the
            Partnership business shall be vested exclusively in the general
            partner.

      *     Profits, losses, and cash flow distributions, other than from
            refinancing or from the sale of Partnership properties, are
            allocated 95% to the limited partners and 5% to the general partner.

      *     Net proceeds from refinancing or from the sale of property other
            than upon liquidation, less any necessary liability reserves or debt
            payments, will be distributed in the following order subject to the
            general partner receiving at least 1% of the distributions:

            **    First, to the limited partners to the extent that prior
                  distributions are less than the original capital contribution
                  plus 6% per annum (as defined in the Partnership Agreement);

            **    Second, any unpaid real estate commissions due to the general
                  partner on the resale of the Partnership properties;

            **    Third, any remaining balance, 80% to the limited partners and
                  20% to the general partner.

      *     The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2021 or earlier upon
            the sale of substantially all of the properties or the occurrence of
            certain other events as stated in the Partnership Agreement.

      On June 30, 1994, the Partnership refinanced the Olde English Village
      Mortgage Note. On June 15, 1995, the prepayment provision of the
      Candleridge Apartments contract for deed and the Villas of Patricia Park
      mortgage note were modified. Terms of these refinancings and prepayment
      provisions, as modified, are as follows:

      Candleridge Apartments: Prepayment of the note is subject to a prepayment
      premium ranging from 1% to 3% depending on the year of the loan in which
      it is prepaid. The prepayment premium does not apply if the lender calls
      the note.

      Villas of Patricia Park: Prepayment of the note is subject to a prepayment
      premium ranging from 1% to 3% depending upon the year of the loan in which
      it is prepaid. The prepayment premium does not apply if the lender calls
      the note.

      Olde English Village: Loan amount of $5,600,000 with monthly installments
      of $47,909 at December 31, 1995, including interest which is adjusted
      quarterly to 350 basis points above the Treasury yield, due June 30, 1997.
      The mortgage note carries an option to extend the maturity date for an
      additional term of 3 years to July 1, 2000. An extension would require an
      extension fee payment equal to 1/2 of 1% of the outstanding principal
      balance at the time of extension.

      The lender has the right to call the Candleridge and Villas of Patricia
      Park notes on August 31, 1998, with no prepayment premium. The lender has
      the right to call the Olde English Village note upon certain events. The
      Lunnonhaus mortgage is subject to The Department of Housing and Urban
      Development regulations.

      All of the above debt is non-recourse to the individual partners.
