ITEM 2.  DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         Damson/Birtcher Realty Income Fund-II (the "Partnership") recently sold
five of its six properties in three separate transactions, as set forth below:

Cooper Village

         On September 21, 1999, the Partnership sold its 58% interest in Cooper
Village Shopping Center (co-owned with an affiliated partnership), in Mesa,
Arizona to Old Vine Corporation ("Old Vine"), a local shopping center operator
that is not affiliated in any way with the Partnership, its General Partner or
any of its principals or affiliates. The sale price for the Partnership's 58%
interest was $3,581,500.

         The buyer was represented by a third-party broker in the transaction.
The broker was paid $46,000 from the sale proceeds. The General Partner was not
paid any property disposition fee in connection with the sale. Old Vine has
hired an affiliate of Birtcher to perform certain onsite property management
services (not accounting or asset management), pursuant to a contract that is
cancelable at any time upon 30 days notice.

Ladera-II

         On September 22, 1999, the Partnership sold Ladera-II Shopping Center,
in Albuquerque, New Mexico to CA New Mexico, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
CenterAmerica Trust ("CenterAmerica"), a Houston-based real estate investment
trust that is not affiliated in any way with the Partnership, its General
Partner or any of its principals or affiliates. The sale price was $1,176,000.

         CenterAmerica and the Partnership were each represented by third-party
brokers in the transaction. The brokers were paid an aggregate $49,657 from the
sale proceeds. The General Partner was not paid a disposition fee in connection
with the transaction. CenterAmerica will not hire the General Partner or any
affiliate to perform asset management or property management services for this
property.

The Rubin Pachulsky Dew Transaction

         On September 23, 1999, the Partnership sold Creekridge Business Center,
in Bloomington, Minnesota, Kennedy Corporate Center, in Palatine, Illinois and
Lakeland Business Center, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Rubin Pachulsky Dew
Properties, LLC ("Rubin Pachulsky Dew") for $8,300,000, $2,600,000, and
$5,200,000, respectively, or an aggregate purchase price of $16,100,000. Rubin
Pachulsky Dew is a third-party real estate investment entity that is not
affiliated in any way with the Partnership, its General Partner or any of its
principals or affiliates.

                               LIMITED PARTNERSHIP


         Rubin Pachulsky Dew was represented by a third-party broker in the
transaction. The broker was paid $161,000 from the sale proceeds. Since the sale
price of Creekridge Business Center exceeded the January 1, 1993 appraised value
($6,400,000), pursuant to the 1993 Amendment of the Partnership Agreement, the
General Partner earned and was paid a property disposition fee of $207,500 in
connection with the sale.

         Rubin Pachulsky Dew has hired an affiliate of Birtcher as property
manager for the properties for a fee that is approximately the same as the fee
the Partnership previously paid to the General Partner for property management.
In addition, Rubin Pachulsky Dew has hired an affiliate of Birtcher to provide
certain asset management services for the properties, and will pay an incentive
fee approximately equal to 10% of the profits, if any, after Rubin Pachulsky Dew
has received a 15% return on its investment. The incentive fee, if earned, is
not payable until the last property is sold or four years from date of purchase,
whichever comes first. The property management agreement is cancelable at any
time upon 60 days notice, but the incentive fee will survive termination of the
contract.

Summary
- -------

         The Partnership realized approximately $18,220,000, or approximately
$346 per $1,000 originally invested in the Partnership, in distributable cash
proceeds from the sale of all five properties, after deducting for holdbacks
(approximately $1,428,000), closing costs and prorations totaling approximately
$1,210,000. The holdbacks include approximately $905,000 for tenant improvements
at Creekridge Business Center, plus unbilled property taxes and other
contingencies.

         Currently, two lawsuits are pending against the Partnership and its
General Partner and certain of its affiliates that seek, among things,
unspecified monetary damages. These lawsuits are discussed in the Partnership's
quarterly and annual reports. Since these cases are in the preliminary discovery
phase, there is unavoidable uncertainty regarding their ultimate resolution. The
Partnership Agreement mandates that the General Partner provide for all of the
Partnership's liabilities and obligations, including contingent liabilities,
before distributing liquidation proceeds to its partners. Therefore, the
Partnership will not distribute liquidation proceeds until the uncertainty
surrounding these lawsuits is sufficiently resolved. The amount and timing of
any distribution of liquidation proceeds will be determined by the General
Partner in light of these and other relevant considerations.
