AMERICA FIRST PREP FUND 2 PENSION SERIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION

America First PREP Fund 2 Pension Series Limited Partnership (the Partnership) 
was formed on February 2, 1988, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited 
Partnership Act for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of federally-insured 
multifamily mortgages and other investments including preferred real estate 
participations (PREPs).  PREPs consist of equity interests which are intended 
to provide the Partnership with a participation in the net cash flow and net 
sale or refinancing proceeds of the properties collateralizing the mortgage 
loans.  The Partnership began operations with the first escrow closing on May 
25, 1988, and will continue in existence until December 31, 2017, unless 
terminated earlier under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.  The 
General Partner of the Partnership is America First Capital Associates Limited 
Partnership Six (AFCA 6).    

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 A) Financial Statement Presentation
    The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared without audit on 
			 the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted 
			 accounting principles.  The financial statements should be read in 
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in 
    the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 
    31, 1995.  In the opinion of	management, all normal and recurring 
    adjustments necessary to present fairly	the financial position at June 
    30, 1996, and results of operations for all periods presented	have been 
    made.

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
    disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 
    financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
    during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those 
    estimates.


 B) Investment in Mortgage-Backed Securities
    Investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity, 
    available-for-sale, or trading.  Investments classified as 
    held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost.  Investments classified as 
    available-for-sale are reported at fair value with any unrealized gains or 
    losses excluded from earnings and reflected as a separate component of 
    partners' capital.  Subsequent increases and decreases in the net 
    unrealized gain/loss on the available-for-sale securities are reflected as 
    adjustments to the carrying value of the portfolio and adjustments to the 
    component of partners' capital.  The Partnership does not have investment 
    securities classified as trading.

 C) Investment in PREPs
    The investment in PREPs consists of interests in limited partnerships 
    which own properties underlying the mortgage-backed securities and are 
    accounted for	using the equity method.  PREPs are not insured or 
    guaranteed.  The value of these investments is a function of the value of 
    the real estate underlying the PREPs.  The investments have been reduced to
    zero and earnings are recorded to the extent that distributions are 
    received.

 D) Allowance for Losses on Investments in PREPs
    The allowance for losses on investments in PREPs is a valuation reserve 
    which has been established at a level that management feels is adequate to 
    absorb potential losses on investments in PREPs.  The allowance is based 
    on management's best estimate of the net realizable value of such 
    properties; however, the ultimate realized values may vary from these 
    estimates.  The allowance is periodically reviewed and adjustments are 
    made to the allowance when there are significant changes in the estimated 
    net realizable value of the properties underlying the PREPs.

 E) Income Taxes
    No provision has been made for income taxes since Beneficial Unit 
			 Certificate (BUC) Holders are required to report their share of the 
			 Partnership's income for federal and state income tax purposes.

 F) Temporary Cash Investments
    Temporary cash investments are invested in short-term debt securities 
			 purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. 

	G) Net Income Per BUC
			 Net income per BUC has been calculated based on the number of BUCs 
			 outstanding (905,974) for all periods presented.

at June 30, 1996:

                                                                      ---------------
                                                                      $    4,471,173
																																																																						===============
</TABLE>

The reserve account was established to maintain working capital for the 
Partnership and is available for distribution to BUC Holders and for any 
contingencies related to Permanent Investments and the operation of the 
Partnership.  See Note 5 regarding the investment in mortgage-backed 
securities.

4. PARTNERSHIP INCOME, EXPENSES AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

The Partnership Agreement contains provisions for distributing the cash 
available for distribution and for the allocation of income and expenses for 
tax purposes among AFCA 6 and BUC Holders.    	

Cash distributions included in the financial statements represent the actual 
cash distributions made during each period, and the cash distributions accrued 
at the end of each period.

5. INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

The mortgage-backed securities held by the Partnership represent Government 
National Mortgage Association (GNMA) Certificates and Federal National 
Mortgage Association (FNMA) Certificates.  The GNMA Certificates are backed by 
first mortgage loans on multifamily housing properties and pools of 
single-family properties.  The FNMA Certificates are backed by pools of 
single-family properties.  The GNMA Certificates are debt securities issued by 
a private mortgage lender and are guaranteed by GNMA as to the full and timely 
payment of principal and interest on the underlying loans.  The FNMA 
Certificates are debt securities issued by FNMA and are guaranteed as to the 
full and timely payment of principal and interest on the underlying loans.

At June 30, 1996 the total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, 
gross unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value of 
available-for-sale securities are $2,898,370, $17,640, $102,458 and $2,813,552, 
respectively.  The total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross 
unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value of held-to-maturity 
securities are $6,097,146, $145,367, $289,214 and $5,953,299, respectively.

6.	INVESTMENT IN PREPs

The Partnership's PREPs consist of interests in limited partnerships which own 
multifamily properties financed by the Partnership.  The limited partnership 
agreements originally provided for the payment of a base return on the equity 
provided to the limited partnerships and for the payment of additional amounts 
out of a portion of the net cash flow or net sale or refinancing proceeds of 
the properties subject to various priority payments.  Certain of the 
agreements have been amended to defer payment of the base return.

7. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Substantially all the Partnership's general and administrative expenses are 
paid by AFCA 6 or an affiliate and reimbursed by the Partnership.  The amount 
of such expenses reimbursed to AFCA 6 during 1996 was $86,792 ($32,952 for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1996).  The reimbursed expenses are presented on a cash 
basis and do not reflect accruals made at quarter end.

AFCA 6 is entitled to an administrative fee of .35% per annum of the 
outstanding principal amounts invested in mortgage-backed securities, PREPs, 
and temporary cash investments to be paid by the Partnership to the extent 
such amount is not paid by property owners.  During 1996, AFCA 6 earned 
administrative fees of $13,974 ($6,946 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996).  
Of this amount, $12,814 ($6,366 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996) was paid 
by the Partnership and the remainder was paid by property owners.

The general partner of the property partnership which owns Owings Chase 
Apartments is principally owned by an employee of an affiliate of AFCA 6.  
Such employee has a nominal interest in the affiliate.  Affiliates of AFCA 6 
also own small interests in the general partner.  The general partner has a 
nominal interest in the property partnership's profits, losses and cash flow 
which is subordinate to the interest of the Partnership.  The general partner 
did not receive cash distributions from the property partnership in 1996.

An affiliate of AFCA 6 has been retained to provide property management 
services for Laurel Park Apartments and Owings Chase Apartments.  The fees for 
services provided represent the lower of (i) costs incurred in providing 
management of the property, or (ii) customary fees for such services 
determined on a competitive basis and amounted to $19,131 ($9,535 for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1996).

     Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership originally acquired: (i) five mortgage-backed securities 
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the Government National Mortgage 
Association (GNMA) collateralized by first mortgage loans on multifamily 
housing properties located in four states, GNMA Certificates backed by pools 
of single-family mortgages (the GNMA Certificates); and (ii) limited 
partnership interests (PREPs) in five limited partnerships which own the 
multifamily housing properties financed by the GNMA Certificates.  The 
Partnership has been repaid by GNMA on the mortgage-backed securities 
collateralized by the Villages at Moonraker and Laurel Park Apartments.  
During the second quarter of 1995, the Partnership withdrew as a limited 
partner of the operating partnership which owns the Villages at Moonraker.  
Therefore, the Partnership no longer has an equity interest in this property.  
The Partnership continues to hold its equity interest in Laurel Park 
Apartments.  Collectively, the remaining GNMA Certificates and the PREPs are 
referred to as the Permanent Investments.

The following table shows the occupancy levels of the properties financed by 
the Partnership at June 30, 1996.

Regular monthly distributions to investors consist primarily of interest and 
principal received on GNMA and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) 
Certificates.  Additional cash for distributions is received from PREPs and 
temporary cash investments.  The Partnership may draw on reserves to pay 
operating expenses or to supplement cash distributions to BUC Holders.  The 
Partnership is permitted to replenish its reserves through the sale or 
refinancing of assets.  During the six months ended June 30, 1996, a net 
amount of $50,941 ($27,938 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996) of 
undistributed mortgage principal payments was placed in reserves.  The total 
amount held in reserves at June 30, 1996, was $4,471,173 of which $2,813,552 
was invested in GNMA and FNMA Certificates.  

<PAGE>                               - 7 -

The Partnership believes that cash provided by operating and investing 
activities and, if necessary, withdrawals from the Partnership's reserves will 
be adequate to meet its short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, 
including the payments of distributions to BUC Holders.  Under the terms of 
the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership has the authority to enter into 
short-term and long-term debt financing arrangements; however, the Partnership 
currently does not anticipate entering into such arrangements.  The 
Partnership is not authorized to issue additional BUCs to meet short-term and 
long-term liquidity requirements.

Asset Quality

The Partnership continues to receive the full amount of monthly principal and 
interest payments on its GNMA and FNMA Certificates.  The GNMA and FNMA 
Certificates are fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by GNMA and 
FNMA respectively.  The obligations of GNMA are backed by the full faith and 
credit of the United States government.  

PREPs, however, are not insured or guaranteed.  The value of these investments 
is a function of the value of the real estate underlying the PREPs.  It is the 
policy of the Partnership to make a periodic review of the real estate 
underlying the PREPs in order to establish, when necessary, a valuation 
reserve on the investment in PREPs.  The allowance for losses on investment in 
PREPs is based on the fair value of the properties underlying the PREPs.  The 
fair value of the properties underlying the PREPs is based on management's 
best estimate of the net realizable value of such properties; however, the 
ultimate realized values may vary from these estimates.  The allowance is 
periodically reviewed and adjustments are made to the allowance when there are 
significant changes in the estimated net realizable value of the properties 
underlying the PREPs.  Internal property valuations and reviews performed 
during the six months ended June 30, 1996, indicated that the PREPs recorded 
on the balance sheet at June 30, 1996, required no adjustments to their 
current carrying amounts.

The overall status of the Partnership's other Permanent Investments has 
generally remained constant since March 31, 1996.

Mortgage-backed securities income decreased for the quarter and six months 
ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same periods in 1995.  This decrease was 
primarily due to the continued amortization of the principal balances of the 
mortgage-backed securities.

Equity in earnings of property partnerships is a function of the cash flow 
received by the Partnership from its interest in the operating partnerships 
which own the properties.  Equity in earnings of property partnerships 
increased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the 
same periods in 1995.  This increase was a result of an increase in cash flow 
received from Ashwood Apartments during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and 
Broadmoor Court during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

The increase in interest on temporary cash investments for the quarter and six 
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same periods in 1995 was primarily 
attributable to the increase in cash reserves as undistributed principal was 
placed in reserves throughout 1995 and the first six months of 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased for the quarter and six months 
ended June 30, 1996, due primarily to an increase in travel expenses incurred 
during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
