                          GRIFFIN REAL ESTATE FUND-II,
                              A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Griffin Real Estate Fund-II, A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership formed in 1980 to invest in and operate income-producing
real property. The Partnership raised $11,000,000 through the sale of Limited
Partnership interests and utilized these proceeds to acquire five real property
investments. Prior to 1997, title to one of these properties was relinquished
through foreclosure. The Candleridge and Villas of Patricia Park Apartments were
sold on May 27, 1997. The sales were reported on form 8-K to the SEC. The
Partnership continues to operate its two remaining properties.

Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates primarily to
the time period since the end of the last fiscal year, investors are encouraged
to review the financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis
contained in the annual report for 1996 for a more complete understanding of the
Partnership's financial position.

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.

1997 Compared to 1996

With property sales occuring before the end of the second quarter of 1997,
results of operations are not easily comparable for the Partnership as a whole.
Comparisons are only meaningful either on a property by property basis or by
comparing the combined results of the two remaining properties.

Higher third quarter occupancy rates at Lunnonhaus Village Apartments were
partly offset by lower rates at Olde English Village Apartments. Rental income
plus other income for the two properties combined for a total income that was
virtually unchanged from the third quarter of 1996.

Third quarter expenses were up a combined $11,747 for the two properties over
the same period of 1996. The majority of this increase was due to the Repairs
and Maintenance expense at Olde English Village Apartments. This increase of
$7,414 was expected with the lower occupancy and the associated cost of making
vacant units rent ready. Olde English Village Apartments also had capital
expenditures for the parking lot, the sidewalks and to replace an old fence to
enhance the appearance of the property.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1997, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $707,706
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.

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

A quarterly distribution to partners of $100.00 per limited partnership unit was
made following the first two quarters and again following the end of the third
quarter to unit holders of record on September 30, 1997. Future cash
distributions will depend on future property operations. In addition, following
the sales of Candleridge and Villas of Patricia Park Apartments, sales proceeds
of $1,285 per unit were distributed on June 17, 1997.

                                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.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

         (a)      Exhibits
                  Exhibit 27 Financial Data Schedule

         (b)      Form 8-K was filed on June 12, 1997 to report the sales of
                  Candleridge and Villas of Patricia Park Apartments on May 27,
                  1997.
