                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1997, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
$1,005,397 which will be used for working capital requirements of the
Partnership and its properties. It is anticipated that the Partnership will be
able to meet current obligations and commitments from cash on hand and from cash
generated from operations during 1997.

A quarterly distribution to partners of $100.00 per limited partnership unit was
made following the first quarter to unit holders of record on March 31, 1997.
Future cash distributions will depend on future property operations.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The General Partner, after reasonable inquiry, is not aware of any material
factors relating to any of the Partnership's properties or the operations of the
Partnership that would cause the financial information of the Partnership not to
be indicative of future operating results or of future financial conditions,
other than those discussed in the footnotes to the Partnership financial
statements filed with Form 10K.

Rental income for the first three months of 1997 was $1,298,994, a decrease of
$16,338 or 1.2% from total revenues for the first three months of 1996. This
decrease was a result of the soft rental market in Des Moines, IA and the
associated decline in occupancy, where three of the four Partnership's
properties are located. The soft rental market also results in shorter term
leases and an increase in the costs associated with the movement of tenants.
Operating expenses such as advertising, painting and decorating, appliance and
carpet replacement increase in this environment. Although interest expense
declined, the decrease in revenue and increase in expenses resulted in a
decrease in net income of $29,240.

On March 1, 1997, formal sales contracts were executed for the sale of
Candleridge and Villas of Patricia Park Apartments. Although there can be no
assurance a closing will ultimately occur, a closing of the sales is expected
during the month of May. A Securities and Exchange Commission Form 8-K will be
filed following the closing which will detail the transactions.

                                OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  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. Briefs were filed and oral arguments were heard by the court on July 1,
1996. On September 10, 1996 the court affirmed the dismissal.
