PART I
Item 1. Business. America First PREP Fund 2 Pension Series Limited
Partnership (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") was formed on February
2,1988, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act to invest
principally in federally-insured first mortgages on multifamily residential
properties, including retirement living centers, and in securities
collateralized by first mortgages on multifamily residential properties. The
Registrant also invests in Preferred Real Estate Participations ("PREPs") in
the form of limited partnership interests in the limited partnerships which
own the financed properties. The Registrant's business objectives are to
provide investors: (i) safety and preservation of capital; (ii) regular cash
distributions; and, (iii) a potential for an enhanced yield from participations
in the net cash flow and net capital appreciation from the financed properties
received under the terms of the PREPs.
A total of 905,974 BUCs were sold at $20 per BUC for total capital
contributions of $16,697,101 after the payment of certain organization and
offering costs.
Through December 31, 1996, the Registrant had 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 projects located in four states (the
"GNMA Certificates"); (ii) various mortgage-backed securities collateralized
by pools of single-family mortgages and guaranteed as to principal and
interest by either GNMA or the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA")
(the "Single-Family Certificates") and; (iii) PREPs in five limited
partnerships which own the multifamily housing properties financed by the GNMA
Certificates. The Partnership has been repaid by GNMA on two GNMA
Certificates. The Partnership no longer holds its PREP in one of the
properties financed by one of the repaid GNMA Certificates and has sold its
PREP in another property. Collectively, the three remaining GNMA Certificates
and the three remaining PREPs are referred to herein as the "Permanent
Investments". A description of the Permanent Investments held by the
Registrant at December 31, 1996, (and the properties financed thereby) appears
in Notes 5 and 6 to the Notes to Financial Statements filed in response to
Item 8 hereof. In addition, the Registrant held four Single-Family
Certificates at December 31, 1996. All Permanent Investments were made in
conjunction with America First PREP Fund 2 Limited Partnership, an affiliate
of the Registrant.
The GNMA Certificates and the Single-Family Certificates provide the
Registrant with monthly payments of principal and interest which are
guaranteed either by GNMA or FNMA. The PREPs are intended to provide the
Registrant with a base return plus a participation in the net cash flow and
net capital appreciation of the underlying real estate properties. Therefore,
the return to the Registrant depends, in part, on the economic performance of
the real estate financed by the PREPs.
While principal of and interest on the GNMA Certificates and
Single-Family Certificates is guaranteed by the United States government, the
amount of cash distributions received by the Registrant from the PREPs is a
function of the net rental revenues generated by the properties financed by
the Registrant. Net rental revenues from a multifamily apartment complex
depend on the rental and occupancy rates of the property and on the level of
operating expenses. Occupancy rates and rents are directly affected by the
supply of, and demand for, apartments in the market areas in which a property
is located. This, in turn, is affected by several factors such as local or
national economic conditions, the amount of new apartment construction and
interest rates on single-family mortgage loans. In addition, factors such as
government regulation (such as zoning laws), inflation, real estate and other
taxes, labor problems and natural disasters can affect the economic operations
of a property.
In each city in which the properties financed by the Registrant are
located, such properties compete with a substantial number of other apartment
complexes. Apartment complexes also compete with single-family housing that
is either owned or leased by potential tenants. The principal method of
competition is to offer competitive rental rates. Such properties also
compete by emphasizing regular maintenance and property amenities.
<PAGE> - 1 -
The Registrant believes that each of the properties is in compliance in
all material respects with federal, state and local regulations regarding
hazardous waste and other environmental matters and the Registrant is not
aware of any environmental contamination at any of such properties that would
require any material capital expenditure by the Registrant for the remediation
thereof.
The Registrant is engaged solely in the business of providing financing
for the acquisition and improvement of real estate. Accordingly, the
presentation of information about industry segments is not applicable and
would not be material to an understanding of the Registrant's business taken
as a whole.
The Registrant has no employees. Certain services are provided to the
Registrant by employees of America First Companies L.L.C. which is the general
partner of the general partner of the Registrant, and the Registrant
reimburses America First Companies L.L.C. for such services at cost. The
Registrant is not charged and does not reimburse for the services performed by
managers and officers of America First Companies L.L.C.
Item 2. Properties. The Registrant does not directly own or lease any
physical properties. The Registrant has invested in the Permanent Investments
described in Item 1. By virtue of its interest in the PREPs, the Partnership
indirectly owns the properties it has financed through its Permanent
Investments. Descriptions of the multifamily housing projects collateralizing
the Permanent Investments held by the Registrant as of December 31, 1996,
are described in the following table:

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters.
(a) Market Information. The BUCs are subject to various
restrictions on transfers which are designed to prevent the Registrant
from being treated as a publicly traded partnership for federal income
tax purposes. Accordingly, the BUCs do not trade on any exchange or in
the over-the-counter market. The following sets forth certain
information regarding privately-negotiated sales of BUCs with respect to
each bi-monthly period from December 1, 1994 through January 31, 1997
which has been compiled and published by a third-party source which
compiles and disseminates such information in the regular course of its
business Firms supplying trade price information to the third party
source are instructed to provide information only on transactions where
third-party investors acquired BUCs from or through such firms. Due to
commissions and mark-ups, sellers of BUCs may have received less than the
amounts paid for BUCs as shown below. None of the following data has
been verified by the Registrant. If no information is given for a
particular period, it indicates that no trades were reported for that
period.

Item 7. 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 (the GNMA Certificates); (ii)
various mortgage-backed securities collateralized by pools of single-family
mortgages and guaranteed as to principal and interest by either GNMA or the
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) (the Single-Family Certificates)
and; (iii) 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 GNMA
Certificates 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, but has retained its PREP in Laurel Park Apartments. During the
fourth quarter of 1996, the Partnership sold its PREP in Ashwood Apartments,
but retains its GNMA Certificate on this property. Collectively, the three
remaining GNMA Certificates and the three remaining PREPs are referred to as
the Permanent Investments. In addition, the Partnership held four
Single-Family Certificates at December 31, 1996.
The following table shows the occupancy levels of the properties financed by
the Partnership in which the Partnership continues to hold an equity interest
at December 31, 1996:

</TABLE>
<PAGE> - 6 -
Regular monthly distributions to investors consist primarily of interest and
principal received on GNMA Certificates and Single-Family 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 1996, a net amount of $430,010 of undistributed mortgage
principal payments was placed in reserves. The total amount held in reserves
at December 31, 1996, was $4,515,330 of which $2,536,657 was invested in
Single-Family Certificates.
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 monthly principal and interest payments
on its GNMA Certificates and Single-Family Certificates which are fully
guaranteed either by GNMA or FNMA. 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 net realizable
value of the properties is determined based on the discounted estimated future
cash flows from the properties, including estimated sales proceeds. The
calculation of discounted estimated future cash flows includes certain
variables such as the assumed inflation rates for rents and expenses,
capitalization rates and discount rates. These variables are supplied to
management by an independent real estate firm and are based on local market
conditions for each property. In certain cases, additional factors such as
the replacement value of the property or comparable sales of similar
properties are also taken into consideration. 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.
Based on the foregoing methodology, valuations and reviews performed during
the year ended December 31, 1996, indicated that the investment in PREPs
recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 1996, required no adjustments to
the current carrying amounts.
<PAGE> - 7 -
Ashwood Apartments
Ashwood Apartments, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, had an average occupancy rate
of 97% during 1996, compared to 95% during 1995. During the fourth quarter of
1996, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interest in the operating
partnership which owns Ashwood Apartments. The Partnership received proceeds
of $226,587 from the sale. Since the Partnership had previously written off
its entire equity interest in Ashwood Apartments, the Partnership realized a
gain of $226,587 on the sale. In addition to sale proceeds received from the
sale of its limited partnership interest, the Partnership received
approximately $20,000 in equity distributions from the partnership which owns
the property; however, due to the sale of its limited partnership interest,
the Partnership will no longer receive equity distributions from Ashwood
Apartments. The Partnership also received principal and interest payments on
the GNMA Certificate collateralized by this property in 1996.
In conjunction with the Partnership's sale of its limited partnership interest
discussed above, the operating partnership which owns Ashwood Apartments
refinanced its mortgage loan. As a result, in January 1997, GNMA redeemed the
GNMA Certificate related to this property by paying the Partnership the full
principal amount of $556,444 plus accrued interest through the redemption
date. As such, the Partnership will no longer receive payments on the GNMA
Certificate.
Broadmoor Court
Broadmoor Court, a senior assisted-living center located in Colorado Springs,
Colorado, had an average occupancy rate of 96% during 1996, compared to 99%
during 1995. The mortgage loan on this property is current and the
Partnership anticipates that property cash flow will be sufficient to pay debt
service in 1997. In addition to principal and interest payments received
during 1996 on the GNMA Certificate collateralized by this property, the
Partnership recorded approximately $48,000 in equity distributions from the
partnership which owns the property.
Laurel Park Apartments
Laurel Park Apartments, located in Riverdale, Georgia, had an average
occupancy rate of 97% during 1996 compared to 95% during 1995. At December
31, 1996 the Partnership's investment in this property consists only of a PREP
since the Partnership has already been repaid by GNMA on its GNMA
Certificate. As previously reported, Laurel Park Apartments had not been
current on its mortgage obligations since December 1994. The General Partner
of the Partnership and the general partner of the operating partnership which
owns Laurel Park Apartments negotiated a Loan Modification Agreement (LMA)
with HUD in August 1996. Among other things, the LMA reduced the interest
rate on the mortgage from 9.25% to 7.25% as well as satisfied all delinquent
principal and interest. The Partnership made an additional equity investment
of $47,996 to effect the LMA. Laurel Park Apartments has been current on its
mortgage obligations since the LMA was effected; however, the Partnership did
not receive any equity distributions on its PREP during 1996. The General
Partner feels the LMA will better position the property to remain current on
its mortgage obligations as well as provide the Partnership with future equity
distributions. It is anticipated that Laurel Park Apartments will continue to
generate cash flow sufficient to meet its mortgage obligations under the terms
of the LMA during 1997.
Owings Chase Apartments
Owings Chase Apartments, located in Pikesville, Maryland, had an average
occupancy rate of 96% during 1996, compared to 95% during 1995. Cash flow
from the operations of the property was sufficient to fully service debt on
the mortgage loan in 1996. The mortgage loan was current (under the modified
terms of the mortgage) at December 31, 1996, and the Partnership anticipates
that the property cash flow will continue to be sufficient to pay debt service
in 1997. The Partnership received principal and interest payments on the GNMA
Certificate collateralized by this property in 1996; however the Partnership
did not receive any equity distributions on its PREP during 1996.

</TABLE>
Mortgage-backed securities income decreased $62,948 from 1995 to 1996, due to
the continued amortization of the principal balances of the mortgage-backed
securities.
Mortgage-backed securities income increased $165,601 from 1994 to 1995. This
increase was primarily a result of an increase of approximately $201,000 in
interest received from Owings Chase Apartments due to the Partnership no
longer eliminating self-charged interest, since the Partnership's equity in
the property has been reduced to zero. This increase was partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $35,000 in mortgage investment income due to the
continued amortization of the principal balances of the Partnership's other
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. Prior to the write-down of each investment in PREPs
to zero, equity in earnings of property partnerships also reflects the
Partnership's allocable share of earnings generated by each of the properties.
Equity in earnings of property partnerships decreased $42,094 from 1995 to
1996 due primarily to the of recording a loss of approximately $48,000 for
Laurel Park Apartments during the third quarter of 1996. This loss resulted
from expenses incurred in conjunction with entering into a loan modification
agreement with HUD in August. The loss related to Laurel Park Apartments was
partially offset by an increase in cash flow of approximately $6,000 from
Broadmoor Court.
Equity in earnings decreased $13,847 from 1994 to 1995 due primarily to the
write-down of the investment in Owings Chase Apartments to zero in the last
quarter of 1994 and due to the Partnership no longer eliminating self-charged
interest as discussed above. A decrease of approximately $43,000 related to
Owings Chase Apartments was partially offset by increases in cash flow of
approximately $24,000 from Broadmoor Court and $5,000 from Ashwood Apartments.
<PAGE> - 9 -
The increase in interest on temporary cash investments of $10,017 from 1995 to
1996 and $6,307 from 1994 to 1995 was primarily attributable to the increase
in cash reserves as undistributed principal was placed in reserves throughout
1995 and 1996.
The Partnership recorded a gain of $226,587 in 1996 due to the sale of the
Partnership's limited partnership interest in the operating partnership which
owns Ashwood Apartments. Due to this sale, the Partnership will no longer
receive equity distributions from Ashwood Apartments.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,309 from 1995 to 1996, due
primarily to an increase in travel expenses and professional fees. General
and administrative expenses increased $22,976 from 1994 to 1995. These
increases were primarily due to increases in salaries and related expenses and
professional fees.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Financial
Statements and supporting schedules of the Registrant are set forth in Item 14
hereof and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and

disclosure during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. The general

Except as described herein, the Registrant is not a party to any

or with any person who is (i) a manager or executive officer of America First
Companies L.L.C., or any general partner of AFCA; (ii) a nominee for election

$25,303.
The general partner of the property partnership which owns Owings Chase
Apartments is principally owned by an employee of America First Companies
L.L.C.. Such employee has a nominal interest in America First Companies
L.L.C.. Affiliates of AFCA 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.
The Registrant has entered into property management agreements with
America First Properties Management Company, L.L.C.. (the "Manager") with
respect to the day-to-day operation of Laurel Park Apartments and Owings Chase
Apartments. Such property management agreements provide that the Manager is
entitled to receive a management fee equal to a stated percentage of the gross
revenues generated by the property under management. Management fees payable
to the Manager range from 3.5% to 5% of gross revenues. Because the Manager
is an affiliate of AFCA the management fees payable by the Registrant to the
Manager may not exceed the lesser of (i) the rates that the Registrant would
pay an unaffiliated manager for similar services in the same geographic
location or (ii) the Manager's actual cost for providing such services.
During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Registrant paid the Manager
property management fees of $40,261.

To the Partners
America First PREP Fund 2 Pension Series Limited Partnership:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of America First Prep Fund 2
Pension Series Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statements of income, partners' capital and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of America First Prep Fund 2
Pension Series Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted

AMERICA FIRST PREP FUND 2 PENSION SERIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
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 on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
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. When an investment in a PREP has
been reduced to zero, earnings are recorded to the extent that
distributions are received. PREPs are not insured or guaranteed. The
value of these investments is a function of the value of the real estate
underlying the PREPs.
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 net realizable value of the properties is determined based
on the discounted estimated future cash flows from the properties,
including estimated sales proceeds. The calculation of estimated future
cash flows includes certain variables such as the assumed inflation rates
for rents and expenses, capitalization rates and discount rates. These
variables are supplied to management by an independent real estate firm and
are based on local market conditions for each property. In certain cases,
additional factors such as the replacement value of the property or
comparable sales of similar properties are also taken into consideration.
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. The tax
basis of the Partnership's assets and liabilities exceeded the reported
amounts by $1,758,888 and $1,863,187 at December 31, 1996, and December 31,
1995, respectively.
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 years presented.
H) New Accounting Pronouncement
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128). FAS 128, which is
effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997, is not expected to
have an impact on the Partnership's computation, presentation or
disclosure of earnings per BUC.
3. Partnership Reserve Account
The Partnership maintains a reserve account which consisted of the following
at December 31, 1996:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Cash and temporary cash investments $ 1,978,673
GNMA Certificates 1,490,176
FNMA Certificates 1,046,481
---------------
$ 4,515,330
===============
</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. Income and expenses are allocated
to each BUC Holder on a monthly basis based on the number of BUCs held by each
Holder as of the last day of the month for which such allocation is to be
made.
Net Operating Income during each distribution period will be distributed 99%
to the BUC Holders and 1% to AFCA 6 until the BUC Holders, as a class, receive
distributions of Net Operating Income equal to a cumulative noncompounded
annual return of 9% on their Adjusted Capital Contributions. Thereafter,
remaining Net Operating Income during such distribution period will be
distributed 90% to the BUC Holders and 10% to AFCA 6 until BUC Holders, as a
class, receive distributions of Net Operating Income equal to a cumulative
noncompounded annual return of 11% on their Adjusted Capital Contributions.
Thereafter, remaining Net Operating Income during such distribution period
will be distributed 95% to BUC Holders and 5% to AFCA 6.

AMERICA FIRST PREP FUND 2 PENSION SERIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
Net Capital Transaction Proceeds will be distributed 100% to the BUC Holders
until the BUC Holders, as a class, have received distributions from all
sources in an amount equal to $20 per BUC. Thereafter, Net Capital
Transaction Proceeds will be distributed 99% to the BUC Holders and 1% to
AFCA 6 until BUC Holders, as a class, have received distributions from all
sources in an amount equal to $20 per BUC plus an amount equal to a cumulative
noncompounded annual return of 9% on their Adjusted Capital Contributions.
Thereafter, any remaining Net Capital Transaction Proceeds will be distributed
90% to BUC Holders and 10% to AFCA 6 until BUC Holders, as a class, have
received distributions from all sources in an amount equal to $20 per BUC plus
an amount equal to a cumulative noncompounded annual return of 11% on their
Adjusted Capital Contributions. Thereafter any remaining Net Capital
Transactions Proceeds will be distributed 95% to BUC Holders and 5% to AFCA 6.
Proceeds from a Capital Transaction which result in the liquidation of the
Partnership for federal income tax purposes will be distributed in the same
manner as distributions from nonliquidating Capital Transactions, subject to
the requirement that the distributions be initially made to the BUC Holders
and AFCA 6 in accordance with their positive capital account balances.
Cash distributions are presently made on a monthly basis but may be made
quarterly or semiannually if AFCA 6 so elects. Cash distributions included in
the financial statements represent the actual cash distributions made during
each year and the cash distributions accrued at the end of each year.
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 December 31, 1996, the total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding
gains, gross unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value of
available-for-sale securities are $2,575,381, $22,868, $61,592 and $2,536,657,
respectively. The total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross
unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value of held-to-maturity
securities are $5,970,196, $174,257, $287,449 and $5,857,004, respectively.
At December 31, 1995, the total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding
gains, gross unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value of
available-for-sale securities are $3,071,819, $37,616, $15,012 and $3,094,423,
respectively. The total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross
unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value of held-to-maturity
securities are $6,267,217, $175,318, $290,919 and $6,151,616, respectively.
Prior to June 30, 1995, the Partnership classified all investments in
mortgage-backed securities as held-to-maturity. However, during the quarter
ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership reassessed the appropriateness of the
classification of securities held in the reserve account (see Note 3). The
Partnership concluded, given the nature of the reserve account, it would be
more appropriate to classify securities held in the reserve account as
available-for-sale rather than as held-to-maturity. Accordingly, on June 30,
1995, the Partnership transferred all securities held in the reserve account
from the held-to-maturity classification to the available-for-sale
classification. The total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains,
gross unrealized holding losses and aggregate fair value of the securities
transferred were $3,378,771, $25,982, $56,198 and $3,348,555, 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.

AMERICA FIRST PREP FUND 2 PENSION SERIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
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, 1995
or 1994.
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 $40,261, $36,740 and $26,995
in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in
estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and temporary cash investments: Fair value approximates the carrying
value of such assets.
Investment in mortgage-backed securities: Fair values are based on amounts
obtained from an independent pricing source.
