                           DEFOREST VENTURES I L.P.

THE OFFER, WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS AND THE PRORATION PERIOD WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00
MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON JUNE 30, 1995, UNLESS EXTENDED.

         The Purchaser hereby supplements and amends its offer to purchase up to
18,772 of the outstanding Units of Limited Partnership Interest of MRI Business
Properties Fund, Ltd. II, a California limited partnership for $255.76 per Unit,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase
dated June 2, 1995, in this Supplement and in the related Letter of Transmittal
as each may be supplemented or amended from time to time.  Capitalized terms
used in the Offer to Purchase and this Supplement shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Glossary contained in this Supplement.  BY EXECUTING A
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, A UNITHOLDER WHO HAS PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED EXCLUSION FROM
THE SETTLEMENT WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REVOKED SUCH REQUEST AND THEREUPON BE
BOUND BY THE SETTLEMENT AND ALL ORDERS AND FINAL JUDGMENTS RENDERED IN THE
ACTION.

         Limited Partners are urged to consider the following factors:

         o        THE PARTNERSHIP IS RECOMMENDING THAT, FOR THE FOLLOWING
                  REASONS, UNITHOLDERS NOT TENDER THEIR UNITS.  As described in
                  Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase, the Partnership has
                  entered into a contract for the sale of one of its properties
                  and a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of another
                  property.  It is anticipated that, if such sales close on the
                  terms set forth in Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase, the
                  Partnership would distribute in excess of $350 per Unit in the
                  aggregate to Unitholders from the net proceeds of such sales. 
                  Such amount is greater than the $255.76 per Unit Cash
                  Consideration which will be paid to Unitholders who tender
                  their Units pursuant to the Offer.  In addition, the
                  Partnership is currently marketing its remaining two
                  properties.  If all of the Partnership's properties are sold,
                  the Partnership would be liquidated resulting in additional
                  distributions to Unitholders.  However, Unitholders who tender
                  their Units will not be entitled to receive any distributions
                  from the Partnership. 

         o        The Offer is being made pursuant to the terms of the
                  Settlement of the Action which were described in the Offer to

                  Purchase.  The Cash Consideration to be paid for each Unit
                  tendered was determined as part of the negotiations conducted
                  in connection with the Settlement.  In establishing the Cash
                  Consideration, the Purchaser, an affiliate of the General
                  Partner, was motivated to set the lowest price for the Units
                  which may conflict with Unitholders receiving a higher price
                  for the Units.

         o        The Derived Value of the Partnership's assets as of March 31,
                  1995 estimated by the Purchaser, an affiliate of the General
                  Partner, and disclosed in the Offer to Purchase was $565 per
                  Unit

<PAGE>
                  and the equity value of the Partnership as of June 30, 1994
                  estimated by an independent third party and also disclosed in
                  the Offer to Purchase was $492 per Unit.

         o        The General Partner and the Purchaser are affiliates and,
                  accordingly, have conflicts of interest with respect to the
                  Offer.  These include certain conflicts resulting from the
                  terms of the Amended DeForest Loan which was obtained by the
                  Purchaser to finance the Offer.  As a result, a conflict of
                  interest may exist for the General Partner in determining
                  whether to sell and/or refinance the Partnership's properties
                  and whether to distribute the proceeds of any such sale or
                  refinancing (See "Section 10. Conflicts of Interest and
                  Transactions with Affiliates" in the Offer to Purchase for a
                  more detailed explanation of this conflict.)

         o        As a result of the Original Tender Offers, the Purchaser, an
                  affiliate of the General Partner, is in a position to
                  significantly influence all Partnership decisions on which
                  Unitholders may vote.  Consummation of the Offer may further
                  enhance such voting influence.  (See "Section 7. Effects of
                  the Offer" in the Offer to Purchase for additional information
                  on limitations on the Purchaser's right to vote its Units.)

         o        Consummation of the Offer may limit the ability of Unitholders
                  to dispose of Units in the secondary market during the twelve
                  month period following completion of the Offer.  (See "Section
                  7.  Effects of the Offer" in the Offer to Purchase.)

         o        Unitholders who tender their Units will be giving up the
                  opportunity to participate in any future potential benefits
                  represented by the ownership of such Units such as potential
                  future distributions, including distributions resulting from
                  the potential property sales and potential liquidation
                  discussed in Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase.

                                 INTRODUCTION


         The "Introduction" to the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and

amended as follows:

         The Offer is being made pursuant to the terms of the Settlement
Agreement.  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Unitholders who tender their
Units will receive the Cash Consideration of $255.76 per Unit and may also be
entitled to receive the Residual Settlement Premium.  The per Unit amount of the
Residual Settlement Premium, which is not expected to be material, is dependent
on the amount of attorney's fees awarded by the Court following expiration of
the Offer and will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Settlement
Agreement.  The Residual Settlement Premium will range from a minimum of zero to
a maximum of approximately $6.59  per Unit if no attorney's fees are awarded. 
If the Court awards the attorney's fees which have been requested, the maximum
Residual Settlement Premium will be approximately $2.63  per Unit.  The Residual
Settlement Premium will be paid promptly after the Court's award of attorney's
fee which is expected to occur as soon as practicable following the expiration
of the Offer.  (See "THE TENDER OFFER - Section 13. Background of the Offer".)

                               THE TENDER OFFER


         Section 6.  Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.

         Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented to include
the following:

         Potential Recharacterization of Loan.  If the Loans are recharacterized
for tax purposes as current sales, then all Units tendered would be treated as
having been sold in 1995.  Such recharacterization would require tendering
Unitholders to recognize gain or loss in 1995 with respect to all of their Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer but also might enable such Unitholders to deduct
their remaining suspended passive activity losses (if any) from the Partnership
in 1995.  Such recharacterization also would result in a termination of the
Partnership for federal income tax purposes on the date the Loans are made. 
Following a tax termination, the Partnership

                                       2
<PAGE>

and, therefore, non-tendering Unitholders, would report lower depreciation
deductions for the balance of 1995 and for a period of years thereafter than
they otherwise would.  Non-tendering Unitholders also may report slightly
greater ordinary income (if any) on a future sale of their Units, depending on
the timing and other circumstances of such sale, than they otherwise would
absent a tax termination of the Partnership.  Finally, a tax termination of the
Partnership would cause the Partnership to have two taxable years within
calendar year 1995, which could result in a "bunching" of income for Unitholders
(who are not individuals) whose taxable year is not the calendar year.

         Section 8.  Futute Plans.

         Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and amended
as follows:

         As disclosed in the Offer to Purchase, and except for the potential

property sales discussed in Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase and the potential
subsequent liquidation of the Partnership if all of such property sales are
consummated, neither the General Partner nor the Purchaser has any present plans
or intentions with respect to the sale of the Partnership's property or the
liquidation of the Partnership.  However, holders of a majority of outstanding
Units have the right to replace the General Partner and thereby influence the
timing of a sale or liquidation.      

         Section 9.  Certain information Concerning the Partnership.

         Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and amended
as follows:

         The original anticipated holding period of the Partnership's properties
was five to ten years following the acquisition of a property.  Currently,
properties in the Partnership's portfolio have been held for varying periods
ranging from approximately 9 to 11 years.

       Section 13.  Background of the Offer.

       Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented to include the
following:

       The Cash Consideration was established as part of the Settlement as a
result of arm's length negotiations between the parties in the various
litigations described in the Offer to Purchase.

       The equity analysis of the Partnership as of June 30, 1994 referred to in

Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase was conducted by Victor Capital Group.  Such
analysis utilized a methodology similar to that employed by the Purchaser in
estimating the Derived Value and employed a capitalization rate of 11.0% (except
for one property where an 10.5% rate was used).
