     ITEM 2.  THE MARINA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE
MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, AND
1995.

     The Partnership's net earnings for the third
quarter of 1996 were $1,828,000, as compared to net
earnings of $1,907,000 for the third quarter of 1995. 
Revenues for the third quarter of 1996 were $3,041,000
compared to $4,378,000 for the third quarter of 1995.

     Net earnings for the first nine months of 1996
were $3,272,000, as compared to $3,911,000 for the
first nine months of 1995.  Revenues were $7,286,000
for the first nine months of 1996, as compared to
$8,614,000 for the first nine months of 1995.

     The decrease in net earnings for the first nine
months of 1996 compared to the first nine months of
1995 was due to a lack of sales of land held for
investment during 1996.  During the first nine months
of 1995, the Partnership sold 8.3 acres of commercial
property at Geist Crossing for a total of $2,278,000. 
Gains of $498,000 were recognized on these sales in the
first nine months of 1995.  

     The Partnership sold 27 homesites during the first
nine months of 1996.  Three waterfront homesites and
one off-water homesite were sold from Bridgewater, the
Partnership's first single-family homesite development
located near Geist Marina.  The Partnership sold 20
homesites from Cambridge, one of which included a home
that the Partnership had used as a sales office.  The
Partnership additionally sold three waterfront
homesites from Morse Overlook, a single-family homesite
project located at Morse Lake.  This compares with 38
homesites sold by the Partnership in the first nine
months of 1995, four of which were from Bridgewater and
34 of which were from Cambridge.  Earnings from
homesite sales were $2,062,000 in the first nine months
of 1996, compared with $2,051,000 in the first nine
months of 1995.  There was a resulting increase in
earnings per homesite sale which was due to the sale of
a premier waterfront homesite on the peninsula in
Bridgewater.  During the first nine months of 1996, the
Partnership spent $916,000 for improvements to its
residential homesite projects compared to $2,357,000
spent in the first nine months of 1995.  

     The Partnership is the general partner of The
Marina I L.P., an Indiana limited partnership ("Marina
I"), which has developed  homesites in the first four
sections of Cambridge.  Marina I sold 16 homesites in
Cambridge in the first nine months of 1996, compared to
31 homesites sold in the first nine months of 1995. 
The Partnership recognized $365,000 in equity earnings
from Marina I from its homesite sales in the first nine
months of 1996, compared to $545,000 recognized in the
first nine months of 1995.  Marina I recorded $136,000 



in homesite revenue from the Partnership in the first
nine months of 1996 as its share of profit earned on a
homesite sold in Cambridge by the Partnership that was
partially owned by Marina I.  The Partnership, received
a distribution of $398,000 from Marina I in the first
nine months of 1996.
                           
     During the third quarter of 1996, the Partnership
purchased waterfront property at Geist Lake for
$443,000 for future residential development.  

     The Partnership is a limited partner of Dockside
Cafe L.P., an Indiana limited partnership ("Dockside
Cafe"), which operates the Blue Heron restaurant at
Marina Village, and the Carrigan Crossing restaurant at
Morse Marina.  The Partnership recognized equity
earnings from Dockside Cafe of $50,000 in the first
nine months of 1996, compared to  equity earnings of
$16,000 in the first nine months of 1995.  The
Partnership contributed $33,000 as operating capital 
and received a distribution of $57,000 from Dockside
Cafe during the first nine months of 1996.
                           
     Rental income was $185,000 in the first nine
months of 1996, compared to $125,000 in the first nine
months of 1995, an increase of $60,000.  Rental income
at Marina Village, net of expenses, increased by
$90,000 due to nine months of rental activity in 1996,
compared to one month in 1995.  This increase in rental
income was offset by a decrease in rental income at the
Blue Heron and Carrigan Crossing of $24,000.

     General and administrative expenses increased to
$657,000 in the first nine months of 1996, compared to
$519,000 in the first nine months of 1995.  This
increase primarily resulted from an increase in
salaries and wages of $64,000, and an increase in
property tax expense of $30,000.

     On July 1, 1996, certain shareholders of The
Marina II Corporation, the general partner, contributed
limited partner units to the general partner or
converted general partner units to limited partner
units, resulting in a contribution of a net total of
4,474 limited partner units to the general partner,
thereby increasing general partner units.  Earnings per
unit have been computed on the basis of 196,714
weighted average outstanding general partner units and
478,421 weighted average outstanding limited partner
units from January 1 through June 30, 1996, and 201,188
weighted average outstanding general partner units and
473,947 weighted average outstanding limited partner
units from July 1 through September 30, 1996.

     On April 18, 1996, the Partnership made a cash
distribution to the partners of record on April 4,
1996, of $3.25 per unit of partnership interest, for a
total of $2,194,000.  This compares to a partnership
distribution of $2.00 per unit made on April 17, 1995
for a total $1,350,000.
