AMERICA FIRST PREP FUND 2 PENSION SERIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
(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). 

On April 10, 1998, the Partnership consummated a merger with AF Merger, L.P., 
a Delaware limited partnership (Merger L.P.), pursuant to an Agreement and 
Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 1997 (the Merger Agreement), among the 
Partnership, Merger L.P., America First Participating/Preferred Equity 
Mortgage Fund Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, America 
First PREP Fund 2 Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and 
America First Mortgage Investments, Inc., a Maryland corporation (AFM).  The 
Partnership was the surviving limited partnership of the merger with Merger 
L.P., but as a result of the merger, (i) the general partner interest in AFCA 6 
was acquired by AFM, (ii) the limited partner interest in AFCA 6 was acquired 
by a wholly-owned subsidiary of AFM, (iii) a total 883,422 BUCs of the 
Partnership were exchanged, at the rate of approximately 1.31 shares per BUC, 
for 1,153,552 shares of the common stock of AFM and (iv) AFM became the holder 
of such BUCs.  Accordingly, the Partnership has become a partnership 
subsidiary of AFM.  The holders of 11,060 BUCs elected to continue their 
current investment in the Partnership through the retention of their BUCs.

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, 1997.  In the opinion of	management, all normal and recurring 
    adjustments necessary to present fairly	the financial position at 
    June 30, 1998, 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.  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 Investment in PREPs
    The allowance for losses on investment 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 the fair value of the properties underlying the PREPs.  The allowance 
    is periodically reviewed and adjustments are made to the allowance when 
    there are significant changes in the fair 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.

 H) Comprehensive Income
    In the first quarter of 1998, the Partnership adopted Statement of 
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" 
    (SFAS 130).  SFAS 130 requires the display and reporting of comprehensive 
    income, which includes all changes in Partners' Capital with the exception 
    of additional investments by partners or distributions to partners.  
    Comprehensive income for the Partnership includes net income and the 
    change in net unrealized holding losses on investments charged or credited 
    to Partners' Capital.  Comprehensive income for the quarter and six months 
    ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same periods in 1997 was as follows:

(UNAUDITED)

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.

As a result of the merger described in Note 1, on April 10, 1998, the 
Partnership reclassified its securities from held-to-maturity to 
available-for-sale.  The total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, 
gross unrealized holding losses and aggregate fair value of securities 
transferred were $4,985,047, $100,123, $282,755 and $4,802,415, respectively.

At June 30, 1998, the total amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, 
gross unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value of mortgage-backed 
securities are $6,922,161, $115,262, $118,933 and $6,918,490, respectively.

Descriptions of the Partnership's mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 
1998, are as follows:

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.

Descriptions of the PREPs at June 30, 1998, are as follows:

administrative expenses were paid by AFCA 6 or an affiliate and reimbursed by 
the Partnership.  The amount of such expenses reimbursed to AFCA 6 or an 
affiliate during 1998 was $101,658 ($13,204 for the quarter ended

AMERICA FIRST PREP FUND 2 PENSION SERIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
(UNAUDITED)

Prior to the Merger AFCA 6 was 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 
1998, AFCA 6 earned administrative fees of $5,952 (none for the quarter ended 
June 30, 1998), all of which was paid by the Partnership.

A property management subsidiary of America First Companies L.L.C. (America 
First) has been retained by the property partnerships which own Laurel Park 
Apartments and Owing Chase Apartments to provide management services for these 
properties.  A director of the general partner of AFCA 6 is a principal owner 
of America First.  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 $23,755 in 
1998 ($11,864 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998).          

The general partner of the property partnership that owns Owings Chase 
Apartments is principally owned by an employee of America First.  Other 
affiliates of America First also own nominal interest in such 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 1998.

     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 (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. At June 30, 1998, the Partnership continued to hold two GNMA 
Certificates and three PREPs (referred to as the Permanent Investments) in 
addition to various Single-Family Certificates.

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 June 30, 1998.

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 1998, a net amount of $45,753 of undistributed mortgage 
principal payments was withdrawn from reserves (a net amount of $62,634 was 
placed in reserves for the quarter ended June 30, 1998).  The total 
amount held in reserves at June 30, 1998, was $4,319,995 of which $1,969,362 
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 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, 1998, indicated that the PREPs recorded 
on the balance sheet at June 30, 1998, required no adjustments to their 
current carrying amounts.

The overall status of the Partnership's Permanent Investments has remained 
relatively constant since March 31, 1998.

</TABLE>

Mortgage-backed securities income decreased for the quarter and six months 
ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same periods in 1997 due to the continued 
amortization of the principal balances of the Partnership's mortgage-backed 
securities.

The decrease in equity in earnings of property partnerships for the quarter 
and six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997 is due 
to the Partnership receiving a distribution of approximately $21,000 from 
Owings Chase Apartments during the quarter ended June 30, 1997, whereas no 
such distribution was received during the same period in 1998.  Also 
contributing to the decrease for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared 
to the same period in 1997 was a decrease in cash flow received from Broadmoor 
Court.

General and administrative expenses increased for the quarter ended June 30, 
1998, compared to the same period in 1997 due to an increase in salaries and 
related expenses which were partially offset by a decrease in transaction 
costs incurred in conjunction with the merger described in Note 1 to the 
financial statements and an overall decrease in other general and 
administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased for the 
six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same period in 1997 due 
primarily to an increase of approximately $116,000 in transaction costs 
incurred in conjunction with the merger described in Note 1 to the financial 
statements and an increase in salaries and related expenses.
