                                     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. 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.

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

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

         On September 20, 1995 Everest Investors, LLC ("Everest") filed a
lawsuit 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 is not a limited partner of the Partnership. 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 on
March 12, 1996 and a decision is pending.



Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Limited Partners

         There were no matters submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners.

Item 5.  Market for the Partnership's Limited Partnership Interests and
         Related Limited Partner Matters

         There are approximately 707 holders of record of units of the
Partnership. There is no public market for units and it is not anticipated that
a public market for units will develop. The General Partner will not redeem or
repurchase units except upon death of the original limited partner.

         Reference is made to Item 6 in this annual report for a discussion of
cash distributions made to the Limited Partners.

         These distributions have not resulted in taxable income to such Limited
         Partners and have therefore represented a return of capital. 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).

(d)      1992 figures reflect the foreclosure of Raintree Apartments on May 1,
         1992.


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. Upon the successful completion of the sale of these
properties, sales proceeds will be distributed.

                                    PART III

Item 10. The General Partner of the Partnership

         The General Partner of the Partnership is Investment Associates, a
Minnesota general partnership formed in September of 1980 by certain directors
and officers of Griffin Companies for the sole purpose of acting as General
Partner of the Partnership. As General Partner, Investment Associates manages
and controls the affairs of the Partnership and has general responsibility and
authority in all matters affecting its business.

         Griffin Companies, A Minnesota corporation organized in 1969, is
engaged in real estate brokerage, real estate investment counseling, and
management of commercial and multi-family real estate. Griffin Companies and its
Affiliates have organized and served as general partners in thirty-two privately

         The General Partner and its Affiliates provide executive, supervisory
and certain administrative services for the Partnership's operations and the
General Partner is responsible for determining whether, when and on what terms
properties should be sold or refinanced. In addition, the books and records of
the Partnership are maintained by Griffin Companies, and are subject to audit by
independent certified public accountants. The partners of the General Partner
intend to devote only as much of their time to the business of the Partnership
as they determine to be reasonably required. Limited Partners have no right to
participate in the management of the Partnership.

         Effective December 31, 1994 James R. Wadsworth, one of the partners of
the General Partner, withdrew as a partner. His share of ownership and his share
of future profits and losses were assigned to and split equally between Larry D.

of the General Partner.

         The identity and business experience of each of the partners of the
General Partner is as follows:

         Larry D. Fransen (age 55) founded Griffin Companies in 1969. He is a
Director and senior officer of each of its operating entities, in addition to
serving as Chairman.

         Since 1969, he has acted as general partner in many partnerships
investing in apartments, office buildings, warehouses, land and motels.

Investment Member (CCIM) designation conferred by the Commercial Investment
Institute. He is a member of the national MultiHousing Council and The Executive
Committee (T.E.C.). He also serves on the Board of Trustees of Northwestern
College.

         Frederick R. Lamb (age 59) left Griffin Companies during 1982,
returning to a position he had previous to joining Griffin Companies. He became
Senior Vice President and Director of the Griffin Companies in July of 1979. He
began his real estate career in 1965 when he represented the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts in the acquisition of several city blocks, a portion of which
ultimately became the site of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts Building and the
Minneapolis College of Arts and Design.

         In 1968, Mr. Lamb was employed as a sales associate at a Minneapolis,
Minnesota brokerage company. In 1972, Mr. Lamb was promoted to Vice President
and Manager of the Commercial-Investment Division of the company and served in
this capacity until 1976. In 1977, Mr. Lamb became Vice President and Sales

Realtors for a three year term.

         Thomas A. Robeson (age 64) served as a Senior Vice President of Griffin
Companies, which he joined in April 1980, until his departure on February 29,
1988.

         Mr. Robeson's previous business experience includes service in the
Investment Division of a national insurance company, from 1955 to 1957, and from
1957 to 1972, with IBM Corporation, where he held various sales and management
positions.

         Mr. Robeson entered the real estate field in 1972 when he joined a real
estate firm in St. Paul, Minnesota. His responsibilities included brokerage,
management and syndication of various types of real estate. In 1975, Mr. Robeson
joined a Minneapolis investment company where he was involved in the brokerage
of a wide range of commercial, industrial, and investment real estate. In 1978,
he was promoted to Vice President and Manager of the Commercial-Investment
Division of that company. He has experience in the acquisition and disposition
of shopping centers, apartment buildings, commercial office buildings, motels,
net leased industrial warehouse and manufacturing facilities, and industrial,
commercial and residential unimproved property.

         Mr. Robeson holds the professional designation CCIM (Certified
Commercial Investment Member of the Realtors National Marketing Institute). He
is a member of the International Association for Financial Planning and of
several real estate organizations, including the National Association of
Industrial and Office Parks, the Upper Midwest Chapter of the Realtors National
Marketing Institute, the Greater Minneapolis Area Board of Realtors, the
Minnesota Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.

         Messrs. Fransen and Dunbar together own 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of Griffin Companies. The partners of the
General Partner represent and warrant that they have a collective personal net
worth on an unaudited cost basis and on an unaudited estimated current value
basis (measured as total assets at estimated current value less all liabilities)
in excess of $1,500,000. The assets of the partners of the General Partner are
largely invested in interests in real property and in Griffin Companies
Therefore, it may be difficult to precisely value such assets or to liquidate
such assets expeditiously or on terms favorable to the seller.

         Partners of the General Partner receive no current or proposed direct
remuneration in such capacity. The Partnership is required to pay a management

                  partner.

                           capital contribution plus 6% per annum (as defined in
                           the Partnership Agreement);

                  **       Second, any unpaid real estate commissions due to the

                          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.

         under the laws of the State of Minnesota. As of December 31, 1995 there
         are 2,200 limited partnership units authorized and 2,187 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.

         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

         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.
