                                   PART I
Item 1.  BUSINESS

     Community Investment Partners II, L.P. (the ``Partnership'')
was formed to seek long-term capital appreciation by making
investments in companies and other special investment situations.
The Partnership will not engage in any other business or activity.
The Partnership will dissolve on December 31, 2007, subject to the
right of the Individual General Partners  to extend the term for up
to two additional two-year periods.

     The Partnership has elected to be a business development
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  As a
business development company, the Partnership is required to invest
at least 70% of its assets in qualifying investments as specified
in the Investment Company Act.

     The Partnership was formed on May 8, 1992, under the Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act of Missouri.  CIP Management, L.P.,
the Managing General Partner, is a Missouri limited partnership
formed on October 10, 1989.  The general partner of CIP Management,
L.P., is CIP Management, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Edward D.
Jones & Co., L.P.

     The Partnership participated in a public offering of its
limited partnership interests in 1992.  The Partnership sold
111,410 Units of limited partnership interest and 1,120 units of
general partnership interest for an aggregate price of $1,406,625.
After offering expenses, the Partnership received approximately
$1,224,000 in proceeds available for investment.  The Partnership
executed a call to each partner requesting the deposit of an amount
equal to the initial capital contribution on August 25, 1994.

     The Managing General Partner is required to have invested the
net proceeds of the Partnership's offering (excluding amounts held
in reserve) within two years of the date of the capital call.

     The information set forth under the captions ``Investment
Objectives & Policies'' and ``Regulation'' in the Prospectus of the
Partnership dated November 4, 1992, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 497(b) under the Securities
Act of 1933, is incorporated herein by reference.

Risks of Unit Ownership

     The purchase and ownership of Units involve a number of
significant risks and other important factors.  The portfolio
company investments of the Partnership involve a high degree of
business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses.
Among these are the risks associated with investment in companies
with little operating history, companies operating at a loss or
with substantial variations in operating results from period to
period, companies with the need for substantial additional capital
to support expansion or achieve or maintain a competitive position,
companies which may be highly leveraged, companies which may be
less diversified and companies in which the Partnership may be the
sole or primary lender.  The Partnership intends to invest in only
a few companies.  Therefore, a loss or other problem with a single
investment would have a material adverse effect on the Partnership.

<PAGE>
     Other risks include the Partnership's ability to find suitable
investments for its funds because of competition from other
entities having similar investment objectives.  Risks may arise due
to the significant period of time that may elapse before the
Partnership has completed the selection of its portfolio company
investments and the significant period of time (typically four to
seven years or longer) which will elapse before portfolio company
investments have reached a state of maturity such that disposition
can be considered.  It is unlikely that any significant
distributions of the proceeds from the disposition of investments
will be made until the later years of the term of the Partnership.

     Portfolio companies may require additional funds.  There can
be no assurance that the Partnership will have sufficient funds
from reserves or borrowing to make such follow-up investments which
may have a substantial negative impact on a portfolio company in
need of additional funds.

     All decisions with respect to the management of the
Partnership, including identifying and making portfolio
investments, are made exclusively by the General Partners.  Limited
Partners must rely on the abilities of the General Partners.  The
key personnel of the Managing General Partner have considerable
prior experience in investment banking and in structuring
investments.  In addition, they have prior experience in the
operation of Community Investment Partners, L.P., a business
development company such as the Partnership.

     Ownership of the Units also entails risk because Limited
Partners may not be able to liquidate their investment in the event
of an emergency or for any other reason due to the substantial
restrictions on transfers contained in the Partnership Agreement
and the lack of a market for the resale of Units.

     The information set forth under the captions ``Risk and Other
Important Factors''(including the subsections ``Risks of
Investment,'' ``Size of Partnership,'' ``Ability to Invest Funds,''
`` Time Required to Maturity of Investments; Illiquidity of
Investments,'' ``Need for Follow-on Investments,'' ``Use of
Leverage,'' ``Unspecified Investments,'' ``Reliance on Management,''
`` New Business,'' ``No Market for Units'' and ``Federal Income Tax
Considerations'') on pages 9 through 14 of the Prospectus of
Partnership dated November 4, 1992, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 497(b) under the Securities
Act of 1933 on November 4, 1992, is incorporated herein by this
reference.  (This information has been restated herein pursuant to
section 64(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940).

     Partners should refer to the Partnership Agreement for more
detailed information.

Employees

     The Partnership has no employees.  The Managing General
Partner performs management and administrative services for the

expenses in connection with finding, evaluating, structuring,
approving, monitoring and liquidating the Partnership's portfolio
investments.

           The Partnership has no physical properties.

Item 5.   MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
          STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

          There is no established public trading market for the
       Limited Partnership interests.  As of March 15, 1997, the
       total number of holders of units is 131. The number of
       limited partnership units outstanding is 111,395.  The
       number of general partnership units outstanding is 1,135 as
       of March 15, 1997.

          The information set forth under the captions
       ``Partnership Distributions and Allocations'' and
       ``Transferability of Units'' in the Prospectus of the
       Partnership dated November 4, 1992, filed with the

Item 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                   (FISCAL YEAR 1996 VERSUS 1995)

     Net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996, was $32,164,

compared to a net loss of $630,622 for 1995.  Income was derived

from dividend income on portfolio investments and interest income

from certificates of deposit.  The majority of the reduced net loss

incurred during 1996 is due primarily to a 1995 worthless

investment in West End Soda Brew of $600,000.  In addition, the

Partnership had lower interest income of $15,212, due to cash being

used to purchase investments throughout 1996.  Dividend income

increased $18,979 due to the increased level of investments.

During the year, the Partnership made several investments as

outlined in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.  One such

investment, FCOA Acquisition Corp., participated in an initial

public stock offering on December 13, 1996.  The initial public

offering price was $9 per share, and the stock trades on the NASDAQ

under the ticker symbol FCPY. As of December 31, 1996, an

unrealized loss of $15,298 has been recorded for the FCOA

Acquisition Corporation investment.  Expenses decreased by $9,989,

from $110,490 in 1995 to $100,501 in 1996.  The decrease is

primarily related to lower professional fees.  The future income or

loss of the Partnership is contingent upon the performance of

current and future investments.












<PAGE>
                    (FISCAL YEAR 1995 VERSUS 1994)

     Net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995, was $630,622,

compared to a net loss of $86,345 for 1994.  Income was derived

from dividend income on portfolio investments and interest income

from certificates of deposit.  A loss was recorded to reflect a

worthless investment as West End Soda Brew closed operations in

November, 1995.  The company was unable to compete with large

national competitors in the New Age segment of the beverage

industry and faced slowing demand for its products.  This loss

accounts for the majority of the decrease in income.  Expenses

decreased by $19,411, from $129,901 in 1994 to $110,490 in 1995.

As a result of lower total assets when compared to 1994, management

fees decreased by $9,000.  Legal fees were down $10,000.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On January 2, 1997, the Partnership sold its investment in

Houghton Acquisition Corporation (HAC).  In exchange for the 2,000

shares of Class A cumulative redeemable Preferred Stock, the

Partnership received $613,379 in cash and a Convertible Promissory

Note in the principal amount of $77,400 due January 2, 1999 with

interest payable at 8%.  A Promissory Note in the principal amount

of $25,800 was also received but is contingent upon the future

income of HAC before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization

and corporate charges.  As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership's

investment in HAC was recorded at original cost of $200,013.

Accordingly, the above transaction results in a gain of

approximately $490,000, which will be recorded in fiscal year 1997.

Due to the contingent nature of the Promissory Note in the

principal amount of $25,800, a gain has not been recorded for this

amount as of the transaction date.  This Note has been recorded at

an original cost of $0, and additional gain will be recorded if, or

<PAGE>
when, payments become due under terms of the Note.

     On January 6, 1997, the Partnership made a distribution of $5

per unit.

     On January 24, 1997, the Partnership invested $100,000 in

Medical Device Alliance, Inc. and received 20,000 shares of common

stock.  Medical Device Alliance, Inc. specializes in the

development, manufacture and marketing of devices for ultrasound-

assisted lipoplasty.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Partnership's total capital of $1,982,725 as of December

31, 1996, consisted of $1,962,730 in Limited Partner capital and

$19,995 in General Partner capital.

     The 1996 total net loss of $32,164 was allocated to the

Limited Partners in the amount of $31,842 and to the General

Partners in the amount of $322.

     The Partnership is actively reviewing potential portfolio

investments.  Until the Partnership invests in portfolio

investments, it intends to invest its cash balances in a money

market account.  At December 31, 1996, $527,000 was invested in the

money market account.  Such investments provide the Partnership

with the liquidity necessary for investments as opportunities

arise.

                REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of
Community Investment Partners II, L.P.

In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying
index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Community Investment Partners II, L.P. (the
`` Partnership'') at 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 accounting principles.  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 of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.  Our procedures included
confirmation of portfolio investments owned as of December 31, 1996
and 1995.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

As explained in Note 3, the financial statements include
investments, valued at $1,397,330 (70 percent of net assets), whose
values have been determined by the Managing General Partner in the
absence of readily ascertainable market values.  We have reviewed
the procedures used by the Managing General Partner in arriving at
an estimate of value and have inspected underlying documentation,
and, in the circumstances, we believe the procedures are reasonable
and the documentation appropriate.  However, because of the
inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may
differ significantly from the values that would have been used had
a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences
could be material to the financial statements.

                     COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PARTNERS, L.P.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  GENERAL

    Partnership Organization

    Community Investment Partners II, L.P. (the ``Partnership'') was
    formed on May 8, 1992, under the Revised Uniform Limited
    Partnership Act of Missouri.  CIP Management, L.P., the
    Managing General Partner, is a Missouri limited partnership
    formed on October 10, 1989.  The general partner of CIP
    Management, L.P. is CIP Management, Inc., an indirect
    subsidiary of Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P.

    Business

    The Partnership elected to be a business development company
    under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  As a
    business development company, the Partnership is required to
    invest at least 70% of its assets in qualifying investments as
    specified in the Investment Company Act.

    The Partnership will seek long-term capital appreciation by
    making investments in companies and other special investment
    situations.  The Partnership is not permitted to engage in any
    other business or activity.  The Partnership will dissolve on
    December 31, 2007, subject to the right of the Individual
    General Partners to extend the term for up to two additional
    two-year periods.

    The Managing General Partner was required to have invested the
    net proceeds of the Partnership's offering (including amounts
    held in reserve) within two years of the date of the capital
    call.

    Risk of Ownership

    The purchase and ownership of Units involve a number of
    significant risks and other important factors.  The portfolio
    company investments of the Partnership involve a high degree of
    business and financial risk that can result in substantial
    losses.  Among these are the risks associated with investment
    in companies with little operating history, companies operating
    at a loss or with substantial variations in operating results
    from period to period, companies with the need for substantial
    additional capital to support expansion or achieve or maintain
    a competitive position, companies which may be highly
    leveraged, companies which may be less diversified and
    companies in which the Partnership may be the sole or primary
    lender.  The Partnership intends to invest in only a few
    companies; therefore, a loss or other problem with a single
    investment would have a material adverse effect on the
    Partnership.





<PAGE>
2.  ALLOCATION OF PARTNERSHIP PROFITS AND LOSSES

    The Partnership Agreement generally provides for the pro rata
    allocation of profits, losses and distributions between the
    limited and general partners.  Partners should refer to the
    Partnership Agreement for more detailed information.

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    All short-term investments with original maturities of three
    months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

    Investment Transactions

    All portfolio investments are carried at cost until significant
    developments affecting an investment provide a basis for
    revaluation.  Thereafter, portfolio investments are carried at
    fair value as obtained from outside sources or at a value
    determined quarterly by the Managing General Partner under the
    supervision of the Independent General Partners.  Due to the
    inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values for
    portfolio investments carried at cost may differ significantly
    from the values that would have been used had a ready market
    for the investments existed, and the differences could be
    material to the financial statements.  Investment in securities
    traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the
    latest reported sales price on the last business day of the
    period.  If no sale has taken place, the securities are valued
    at the last bid price.  If no bid price has been reported, or
    if no exchange quotation is available, the securities are
    valued at the quotation obtained from an outside broker.
    Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
    Income is recorded on an accrual basis.

    Use of Estimates

    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 as of 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.

    Organizational Costs

    Organizational costs are being amortized over a sixty-month
    period.

    Income Taxes

    Income taxes have not been provided for as the Partnership is a
    limited partnership and each partner is liable for its own tax
    payments.  Allocation of Partnership profits and losses for tax
    purposes is based upon taxable income which may differ from net
    income for financial reporting primarily due to differences
    between book and tax accounting for portfolio investments.

    Partners of the Partnership are also the managing general
    partner and independent general partners, respectively, of

Item 10.  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

      There are two Independent General Partners and one Managing
General Partner of the Partnership.  These Independent General
Partners and the Managing General Partner are responsible for the
management and administration of the Partnership.  The General
Partners are ``interested persons'' of the Partnership as defined by
the Investment Company Act, but the Partnership has obtained an
exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission
permitting them to be considered disinterested persons.  The
Independent General Partners provide overall guidance and
supervision with respect to the operation of the Partnership and
perform the various duties imposed on the directors of a business
development company by the Investment Company Act.  In addition to
general fiduciary duties, the Independent General Partners
supervise the management and underwriting arrangement of the
Partnership, the custody arrangement with respect to portfolio
securities, the selection of accountants, fidelity bonding and
transactions with affiliates.
