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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1998, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $554,988
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 1998.

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, 1998.
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.

On May, 1997 the Partnership sold the Candleridge Apartments and the Villas of
Patricia Park Apartments, therefore comparison of results from one year to the
next is not possible for the Partnership taken as a whole. The following
discussion is therefore limited to the two remaining properties that were still
held in the first quarter of 1998.

Lunnonhaus Village Apartments:

For the first quarter, vacancies remained at less than 1% while rental rates
rose 5% from 1997 to 1998. This together with an increase in Other Income
resulted in an increase of 5.7% in total revenues from 1997. Payroll expense
increased $4,251 to $45,582 from the first quarter of 1997, while insurance
declined $3,996 from $8,555 to $4,559 over the same period. Changes in other
operating expenses were even smaller so that the total operating expenses in the
first quarter increased less than 1% from the first quarter of 1997.

On May 7, 1998, a formal sales contract was executed for the sale of Lunnonhaus
Village Apartments. Although there can be no assurance a closing will ultimately
occur, a closing of the sale is expected during the month of July. A Securities
and Exchange Commission Form 8-K Will be filed following the closing which will
detail the transaction.

                              A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Olde English Village Apartments:

Vacancies were 13% for the first quarter, up only slightly when compared to the
11% from the first quarter of 1997. While rental rates increased about 3%, a
decline in Other Income and the vacancy increase offset this so that total
revenues increased less than 1% for the first quarter of 1998 over 1997.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 1998 increased from the first
quarter of 1997 by about 4%. The largest increase was from Repairs and
Maintenance which went from $7,659 in 1997 to $13,861 in 1998, one result of
making vacant units rent ready. Real estate taxes also increased $4,200 from
$61,800 in the first quarter of 1997 to $66,000 in 1998. Utilities on the other
hand declined by $5,677 from $36,760 to $31,083.

Year 2000

The Year 2000 compliance issue concerns the inability of computerized
information systems to accurately calculate, store or use a date after 1999.
This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations. The General Partner is currently evaluating the accounting software
to find out if a Year 2000 problem exists. If the results of that evaluation
show that there is a problem, there will be a conversion to another software
that is widely used in the real estate industry, is readily available and is
Year 2000 compliant. Such a conversion, if necessary, would occur in 1999. The
General Partner's current estimate is that the costs associated with the Year
2000 issue, and the consequences of incomplete or untimely resolution of the
Year 2000 issue, will not have a material adverse affect on the results of
operations or financial position of the Partnership in any given year.
