by non-affiliates.  902,360 of the Partnership's 909,138 Units are held by non-
affiliates. The aggregate market value of Units held by affiliates and non-
affiliates is not determinable since there is no public trading market for Units
and transfers of Units are not subject to certain restrictions.


                                     PART I


Item 1.  Business

General

Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2 (the "Partnership") was
organized on April 12, 1983, as a limited partnership under the California
Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  On July 22, 1983, the Partnership registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of
1933 (File No. 2-83540) and commenced a public offering for sale of Units.  The
Units represent equity interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders
thereof to participate in certain allocations and distributions of the
Partnership.  The sale of Units terminated on July 21, 1985, with 912,182 units
sold at $250 each, or gross proceeds of approximately $227.8 million to the
Partnership.  The Partnership subsequently filed a Form 8-A Registration
Statement with the SEC and registered its Units under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (File No. 0-11723).  As permitted under its Partnership Agreement
(the original partnership agreement of the Partnership with all amendments shall
be referred to as the "Partnership Agreement"), the Partnership has repurchased
and retired a total of 3,028 Units for a total of $611,000.  The Partnership
may, at its absolute discretion, repurchase Units, but is under no obligation to
do so.

Upon the Partnership's formation in 1983, CCEC, a Colorado corporation, was the
corporate general partner.  In 1988, through a series of transactions, Southmark
Corporation ("Southmark") acquired controlling interest in CCEC.  In December
1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11").  In 1990, as part of CCEC's reorganization plan,
ConCap Equities, Inc. ("CEI" or the General Partner) acquired CCEC's general
partner interests in the Partnership and 15 other affiliated public limited
partnerships (the "Affiliated Partnerships") and CEI replaced CCEC as managing
general partner in all 16 partnerships.  The selection of CEI as the general
partner was approved by a majority of the limited partners in the Partnership
and in each of the Affiliated Partnerships pursuant to a solicitation of the
Limited Partners dated August 10, 1990.  As part of this solicitation, the
Limited Partners also approved an amendment to the Partnership Agreement to
limit changes of control of the Partnership.  All of CEI's outstanding stock is
owned by an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"), which it
acquired through two transactions in December 1994, and October 1995.

The Partnership's primary business and only industry segment is real estate
related operations.  The Partnership was formed, for the benefit of its Limited
Partners (herein so called and together with the General Partner shall be called
the "Partners"), to lend funds to Equity Partners/Two ("EP/2"),  a California
general partnership in which certain of the partners were former shareholders
and former management of CCEC, the former corporate general partner of the
Partnership.  See "Status of Master Loan" for a description of the loan and
settlement of EP/2's bankruptcy.

On September 12, 1996, the Partnership sold its sole investment property, North
Park Plaza, to an unaffiliated purchaser.  Net proceeds, after closing costs,
were approximately $2,004,000.  The disposition resulted in a loss of
approximately $90,000.

Through December 31, 1996, the Partnership advanced a total of approximately
$183.1 million to EP/2 and its successor under the Master Loan (as defined in
"Status of the Master Loan").  As of December 31, 1996, the balance of the
Master Loan, net of the allowance for possible losses, was approximately $36.1
million.  EP/2 used the proceeds from these loans to acquire eleven (11)
apartment buildings and ten (10) office complexes, which collateralized the
Master Loan.  EP/2's successor in bankruptcy (as more fully described in "Status
of Master Loan") currently owns four (4) apartment buildings, and eight (8)
office complexes which secure the Master Loan.

The Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services are
performed by the General Partner and by an affiliate of Insignia, an affiliate
of the General Partner.  The real estate business in which the Partnership is
engaged is highly competitive and the Partnership is not a significant factor in
this industry.

Status of Master Loan

Prior to 1989, the Partnership had loaned funds totaling approximately $176
million to EP/2 subject to a non-recourse note (the "Master Loan"), pursuant to
the Master Loan Agreement dated July 22, 1983, between the Partnership and EP/2.
The Partnership secured the Master Loan with deeds of trust or mortgages on real
property purchased with the funds advanced as well as by the assignment and
pledge of promissory notes from the partners of EP/2.

During 1989, EP/2 defaulted on certain interest payments that were due under the
Master Loan.  Before the Partnership could exercise its remedies for such
defaults, EP/2 filed for bankruptcy protection in a Chapter 11 reorganization
proceeding.  On October 18, 1990, the bankruptcy court approved EP/2's
consensual plan of reorganization (the "Plan").  In November 1990, EP/2 and the
Partnership consummated a closing under the Plan pursuant to which, among other
things, the Partnership and EP/2 executed an amended and restated loan agreement
(the "New Master Loan Agreement"), EP/2 was converted from a California general
partnership to a California limited partnership, Consolidated Capital Equity
Partners/Two, L.P. ("CCEP/2"), and CCEP/2 renewed the deeds of trust and
mortgages on all the properties collaterally securing the New Master Loan
Agreement.  ConCap Holdings, Inc. ("CHI"), a Texas corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of CEI, is the sole general partner of CCEP/2 and an affiliate of the
Partnership.  The general partners of EP/2 became limited partners in CCEP/2.
CHI has full discretion with respect to conducting CCEP/2's business, including
managing CCEP/2's properties and initiating and approving capital expenditures
and asset dispositions and refinancings.  Under the new partnership agreement,
CCEP/2 is managed by CHI primarily for the benefit of the Partnership.  CCEP/2's
primary objective is to conduct its business to maximize the Partnership's
recovery under the New Master Loan Agreement.

Under the terms of the New Master Loan Agreement, interest accrues at 10% and
payments are due quarterly in an amount equal to Excess Cash Flow, generally
defined in the New Master Loan Agreement as net cash flow from operations after
third-party debt service and capital improvements.  If such Excess Cash Flow
payments are less than the current accrued interest during the quarterly period,
the unpaid interest is added to principal, compounded annually, and is payable
at the loan's maturity.  If such Excess Cash Flow payments are greater than the
current accrued interest, the excess amount is applied to the principal balance
of the loan.  Any net proceeds from sale or refinancing of any of CCEP/2's
properties are paid to the Partnership under the terms of the New Master Loan
Agreement.  The Master Loan matures in November 2000.

Effective January 1, 1993, the Partnership and CCEP/2 amended the New Master
Loan Agreement to stipulate that Excess Cash Flow would be computed net of
capital improvements.  Such expenditures were formerly funded from advances on
the Master Loan from the Partnership to CCEP/2.  This amendment and change in
the definition of Excess Cash Flow will have the effect of reducing the
Partnership's interest income from the Master Loan by the amount of CCEP/2's
capital expenditures since such amounts were previously excluded from Excess
Cash Flow.

Item 2.  Property

The Partnership's sole investment property, North Park Plaza, was sold in
September 1996.  As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has no real estate
assets.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

The Partnership is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation that is not
of a routine nature.  The General Partner of the Registrant believes that all
such pending or outstanding litigation will be resolved without a material
adverse effect upon the business, financial condition, results of operations, or
liquidity of the Partnership.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, no matter
was submitted to a vote of the unit holders through the solicitation of proxies
or otherwise.


                                    PART II


Item 5.  Market for the Registrant's Units of Limited Partnership and Related
        Security Holder Matters

There is no established market for the Units and it is not anticipated that any
will occur in the foreseeable future.  As of December 31, 1996, there were
45,015 holders of record owning an aggregate of 909,138 units.

The Partnership made a distribution of cash generated from operations of
approximately $3,003,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.  No distributions
were paid in the year ended December 31, 1996.  Future distributions will depend
on levels of cash generated from operations, refinancings, property sales, and
the availability of cash reserves.  Such cash reserves are subject to the
requirements of the Partnership Agreement which requires that the Partnership
maintain reserves equal to 5% of Net Invested Capital.  At this time the General
Partner anticipates that cash distributions will be made during fiscal year
1997, but the timing or amount of such distributions cannot be determined at
this time.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

The following table sets forth a summary of certain financial data for the

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

This item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other
items contained elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

1996 Compared with 1995

The Partnership's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996, was
approximately $579,000 versus a loss of approximately $2,616,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995.  The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to
the write-down of the Partnership's sole investment property, North Park Plaza,
in 1995 due to the Partnership's continuing evaluation of its investment
property.  Also contributing to the decrease in net loss were decreases in
depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased due to the write-down of
investment property of approximately $3.4 million in 1995, along with the sale
of North Park Plaza during the third quarter of 1996.  The decrease in general
and administrative expenses is the result of costs associated with the combined
efforts of the Dallas and Greenville offices during the transition period that
ended June 30, 1995.  Costs relating to the transition efforts were incurred in
an effort to minimize any disruption in the 1994 year-end reporting function,
including K-1 preparation and distribution.

Partially offsetting the decrease in net loss were decreases in rental income,
interest income on investments, other income and the reduction of provision for
impairment loss. The decrease in rental income is primarily attributable to the
sale of North Park Plaza during the third quarter of 1996.  Interest income on
investments decreased due to lower interest rates.  The decrease in other income
is due to the Partnership's receipt of an insurance refund as well as dividend
income in 1995 with no corresponding receipt in 1996.  Finally, the decrease in
the reduction of provision for impairment loss was due to a decrease in
operations of the properties that are the underlying collateral of the Master
Loan.

On September 12, 1996, the Partnership sold North Park Plaza to an unaffiliated
party. The property was sold in an effort to maximize the Partnership's return
on its investment.  The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately
$2,004,000 after payment of closing costs.  This disposition resulted in a loss
of approximately $90,000.

1995 Compared with 1994

The Partnership's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995, was
approximately $2,616,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $10,736,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1994.  This decrease in net loss was primarily due
to the reduction of the allowance for possible losses of the Master Loan as
determined under "FASB Statement 114" in 1995 compared to an increase in the
allowance in 1994.  Contributing to the decrease in net loss was an increase in
other income which resulted from an insurance policy refund of approximately
$286,000 accrued in the fourth quarter of 1995. Operating expenses decreased
primarily as a result of decreased advertising costs. This decrease is
attributable to fewer rental concessions given to tenants in 1995. Depreciation
and amortization expense decreased due to the write-down of the investment
property of $3,350,000 and $2,496,000 taken in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Offsetting these decreases in net loss was a decrease in interest income on the
Master Loan due to decreased cash flows of the investment properties that secure
the loan (income is recorded based on the cash flow of the properties
collateralized by the Master Loan). Also, general and administrative expenses
increased for the year ended December 31, 1995, as a result of higher printing
and mailing costs associated with first and second quarter 10-Q's that were sent
to investors.  Additionally, expenses related to the combined efforts of the
Dallas and Greenville offices during the transition period that ended June 30,
1995, also contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses.
The increased costs related to the transition efforts were incurred to minimize
any disruption in the year-end 1994 reporting function including the financial
reporting and K-1 preparation and distribution.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of approximately
$18,478,000 versus approximately $9,276,000 at December 31, 1995.  Net cash used
in operating activities increased primarily due to a decrease in cash provided
by "due from affiliates" and an increase in cash used in accounts payable and
accrued expenses. The decrease in cash provided by "due from affiliates"
resulted from the receipt in 1995 of the December 31, 1994, accrued interest
receivable on the Master Loan.  Net cash provided by investing activities
increased due to principal receipts on the Master Loan as well as proceeds from
the sale of North Park Plaza of approximately $2,004,000. Net cash used in
financing activities decreased due to a distribution made in the third quarter
of 1995.

Capital improvement projects planned for 1997 include approximately $3.2 million
in deferred maintenance and upgrades at the CCEP/2 properties which will be
funded by additional borrowings under the Master Loan if the properties do not
generate sufficient cash flow to pay for these items.  These upgrades and
repairs include exterior and interior improvements, drainage repair, HVAC
upgrades, installation of fire and sprinkler systems and upgrades necessary to
comply with ADA requirements.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity requirements
is currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the
Partnership.  See "CCEP/2 Property Operations" for discussion on CCEP/2's
ability to provide future cash flow as Master Loan debt service.  No
distributions were made during the year ended December 31, 1996. In September
1995, the Partnership made a distribution to the limited partners of
approximately $2,973,000, or $3.27 per unit.  A matching distribution of
approximately $30,000 was made to the General Partner.  Future cash
distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from the master
loan interest income, property sales, and the availability of cash reserves.

The Partnership is required by the Partnership Agreement to maintain working
capital reserves for contingencies of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital,
as defined by the Partnership Agreement.  Reserves, including cash and cash
equivalents and securities available for sale (at market), totaling
approximately $18.5 million, were greater than the reserve requirement of $7.6
million at December 31, 1996.

CCEP/2 Property Operations

Net loss at CCEP/2 was approximately $22,026,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996, versus a net loss of approximately $36,270,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995. This decrease in net loss was primarily due to the write down of
several properties as required by "FASB Statement 121" in 1995.  CCEP/2
recognizes interest expense on the New Master Loan Agreement obligation
according to the note terms, although payments to the Partnership are required
only to the extent of Excess Cash Flow, as defined therein. During 1996,
CCEP/2's consolidated statement of operations includes total interest expense
attributable to the Master Loan of $20.6 million, approximately $501,000 of
which represented required payments.  CCEP/2 is expected to continue to generate
operating losses as a result of such interest accruals and non cash charges for
depreciation.

The Partnership invested approximately $1 million in CCEP/2 during 1996 as
advances under the Master Loan.  This money was used by CCEP/2 for deferred
maintenance and capital improvements at its investment properties.  Additional
advances under the Master Loan are anticipated to be made to CCEP/2 in 1997 as
these properties continue the deferred maintenance and capital improvement
programs. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership received
approximately $8,604,000 as principal payments on the Master Loan; comprising
these payments were approximately $124,000 of proceeds from certain investments,
$501,000 of required cash flow payments, and $7,979,000 of proceeds from
refinancings.  These funds are required to be transferred to the Partnership
under the terms of the Master Loan.

CCEP/2 was a general partner in a limited partnership ("Broad and Locust
Associates") which was managed by an unaffiliated co-general partner and which
owned the 230 S. Broad Street Office Complex.  Broad and Locust Associates filed
for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in 1992, and in 1993
a reorganization plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court.  Pursuant to the
reorganization, the 230 S. Broad Street Office Complex was transferred to the
first lien holder which held a mortgage loan of approximately $16 million
secured by the property.  The bankruptcy court determined the first lien was in
excess of the property's estimated fair value, therefore, CCEP/2's general
partner interest was unsecured.  The disposition of the property did not release
CCEP/2 from its $4.4 million obligation to the Partnership under the Master Loan
which had been secured by the general partner interest in Broad and Locust
Associates.  The Partnership had previously recognized a provision for possible
losses for the balance of the Investments in Master Loan secured by the general
partner interest in Broad and Locust Associates.  In 1994, CCEP/2 made a demand
on certain other partners of Broad & Locust Associates for the amount of the
Deficit Restoration Obligation ("DRO") as defined in the Broad & Locust
Associates Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement entered into in
July 1984, by CCEP/2 and certain other partners.  In 1995, approximately
$204,000 was received by CCEP/2 on partial settlement of this claim.  No
assurance can be given that CCEP/2 will be successful in its attempts to obtain
further payment of the DRO amount.

Richmond Plaza's mortgage indebtedness of approximately $14,232,000 matured in
March 1995, with waivers of the default obtained from the lender through June
15, 1996.  The Partnership continued making the monthly payment of approximately
$132,000 under the terms of the original note through September 30, 1996, while
negotiating the refinancing with the original lender.  During the negotiation
period, the lender did not issue a formal waiver but continued to accept
payments under the terms of the original note.  On October 1, 1996, the
Partnership signed a promissory note with the existing mortgage holder for
$14,500,000 with an interest rate of 7.875% and a maturity date of June 1, 2000.
The Partnership's new monthly interest only payment is approximately $95,000 and
the first payment was due on December 1, 1996.

On November 13, 1996, CCEP/2 was successful in obtaining financing on Canyon
Crest, Highcrest Townhomes, and Windmere.  Gross proceeds from the financing
were $9,000,000; the mortgage notes encumbering the properties carry a stated
interest rate of 7.33% with balloon payments due on November 1, 2003.

                Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors




The Partners
Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Consolidated Capital
Institutional Properties/2 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows for the
years then ended.  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
misstatement.  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 the
Partnership's 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 Consolidated Capital
Institutional Properties/2 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, in 1995 the Partnership
changed its method of accounting for impairment of long-lived assets and for
long-lived assets to be disposed of, and of accounting by creditors for
impairment of a loan.

We have audited the accompanying statements of operations, partners' capital
(deficit) and cash flows of Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2 (a
California limited partnership) for the year ended December 31, 1994.  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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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
misstatement.  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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the results of operations, partners' capital (deficit),
and cash flows of Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2 for the year
ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization:  Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/2 (the
"Partnership"), a California limited partnership, was formed on April 12, 1983,
to lend funds through non-recourse notes with participation interests (the
"Master Loan").  The loans were made to, and the real properties that secure the
Master Loan were purchased and owned by Equity Partners/Two, ("EP/2"), a
California general partnership in which certain of the partners were former
shareholders and former management of Consolidated Capital Equities Corporation
("CCEC"), the former corporate general partner.  Through December 31, 1996, the
Partnership had advanced approximately $183.1 million under the Master Loan.

During 1989, EP/2 defaulted on certain interest payments that were due under the
Master Loan.  Before the Partnership could exercise its remedies for such
defaults, EP/2 filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11").  On October 18, 1990, the bankruptcy
court approved EP/2's consensual plan of reorganization (the "Plan").  In
November 1990, EP/2 and the Partnership consummated a closing under the Plan
pursuant to which, among other things, the Partnership and EP/2 executed an
amended and restated loan agreement (the "New Master Loan Agreement"), EP/2 was
converted from a California general partnership to a California limited
partnership, Consolidated Capital Equity Partners/Two, L.P. ("CCEP/2"), and
CCEP/2 renewed the deeds of trust and mortgages on all the properties
collaterally securing the New Master Loan Agreement.  ConCap Holdings, Inc.
("CHI"), a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CEI, is the sole
general partner of CCEP/2 and an affiliate of the Partnership.  The general
partners of EP/2 became limited partners in CCEP/2.  CHI has full discretion
with respect to conducting CCEP/2's business, including managing CCEP/2's
properties and initiating and approving capital expenditures and asset
dispositions and refinancings.  See "Note C" for further discussion of EP/2's
bankruptcy settlement.

Upon the Partnership's formation in 1983, CCEC, a Colorado corporation, was the
corporate general partner. In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under
Chapter 11.  In 1990, as part of CCEC's reorganization plan, ConCap Equities,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "General Partner" or "CEI") acquired CCEC's
general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other affiliated public
limited partnerships and replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16
partnerships.  All of CEI's outstanding stock is owned by an affiliate of
Insignia, which it acquired through two transactions in December 1994, and
October 1995.  At December 31, 1996, Insignia and affiliates own 14,000 Units of
the Partnership.

The Partnership is the holder of a note receivable which is collateralized by
apartment and commercial properties located throughout the United States.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and
the accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Escrows for Taxes:  These funds are held by the Partnership, designated for the
payment of real estate taxes and are included in other assets.

Depreciation:  Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the
estimated life of the commercial property and related personal property.  For
Federal income tax purposes, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is
used.  As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, for additions after December
31, 1986, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation
of (1) real property additions over 27 1/2 years and (2) personal property
additions over 5 to 15 years.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

     Unrestricted - Unrestricted cash includes cash on hand and in banks, money
market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills with original maturities less than 90 days.
At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on
insured deposits.

     Restricted cash - tenant security deposits - The Partnership required
security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease and such deposits
are considered restricted cash.  Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates,
provided the tenant has not damaged its space and is current on its rental
payments.

Advertising:  The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred.

Investment Properties:  During 1995, the Partnership adopted "FASB Statement No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of," which requires impairment losses to be recorded on
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are
less than the assets' carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by
comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount.  The fair value of
the investment property owned by the Partnership was determined using the net
operating income of the investment property capitalized at a rate deemed
reasonable for the type of property.  This methodology has not changed from the
methodology under the previous accounting policy except the Partnership no
longer uses the non-recourse debt as a floor for recording impairment losses.
The effect of adoption was not material.

Prior to its sale in the third quarter of 1996, the property owned by the
Partnership experienced declines in its estimated net realizable value due to
regional economic factors such as a depressed real estate market in the area of
Michigan that the property was located and its deteriorating physical condition
due to the decision of the General Partner to postpone both routine and major
maintenance projects. Additionally, occupancy for this property was 61% at
December 31, 1994, and it was believed that occupancy could be increased.  The
General Partner did not believe that this occupancy rate was permanent in
nature.  After unsuccessful attempts at increasing occupancy during 1995
(occupancy remained at 61% at September 30, 1995) and with no new major tenants
expected in the future, it was determined that occupancy could not be increased
as expected and the asset was permanently impaired.  Accordingly, the
Partnership recorded $3.3 million and $2.5 million in expense for the write-down
on the real estate in the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Investment in Master Loan:  Beginning in 1995, the Partnership adopted
"Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan."  Under the new standard, the allowance for credit
losses related to loans that are identified for evaluation in accordance with
"Statement 114" is based on discounted cash flows using the loan's initial
effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain
collateral dependent loans.  Prior to 1995, the allowance for credit losses
related to these loans was based on undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of
the collateral for collateral dependent loans.

Investments:  The General Partner determines the appropriate classification of
debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of
each balance sheet date.  Presently, all of the Partnership's investments are
classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities are carried at
fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a
separate component of partner's capital.  The amortized cost of debt securities
in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts to maturity.  Such amortization is included in investment income.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-
temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in investment income.
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are
included in investment income.

Income Taxes:  No provision has been made in the financial statements for
Federal income taxes because, under current law, no Federal income taxes are
paid directly by the Partnership.  The Unitholders are responsible for their
respective shares of Partnership net income or loss.  The Partnership reports
certain transactions differently for tax than for financial statement purposes.

The tax basis of the Partnership's assets and liabilities is approximately $101
million greater than the assets and liabilities as reported in the financial
statements.

Lease Commissions:  Lease commissions are capitalized and amortized using the
straight-line method over the life of the applicable lease.  At December 31,
1996, there were no remaining lease commissions or related accumulated
amortization due to the sale of North Park Plaza in September 1996.  At December
31, 1995, lease commissions totaled approximately $273,000 with accumulated
amortization of approximately $87,000.

Partners' Capital (Deficit):  The Partnership Agreement provides for net income
and net losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes to be allocated 99%
to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.  "Distributable Cash from
Operations," as defined  in the Partnership Agreement, are to be allocated 99%
to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.  Distributions of surplus
funds are to be allocated 100% to the Limited Partners.

Net Income (Loss) Per Limited Partnership Unit:  Net income (loss) per Limited
Partnership Unit ("Unit") is computed by dividing net income (loss) allocated to
the Limited Partners by the number of Units outstanding.  Per Unit information
has been computed based on 909,138 Units outstanding in 1996 and 1995 and 
909,145 Units outstanding in 1994.

Fair Value:  In 1995, the Partnership implemented "Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," which requires disclosure of fair value information about
financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  The
carrying amount of the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents approximates fair
value due to short-term maturities.  The carrying amount of the Partnership's
net investment in the Master Loan approximates fair value due to the fact that
it has been valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.

Allowance for Impairment Loss:  Allowances to reduce the carrying cost of the
Master Loan are provided when it is probable that reasonably estimable net
realizable values are less than the recorded carrying cost of such investment.
Gains or losses that result from the ongoing periodic evaluation of the net
realizable value of the Master Loan are credited or charged, as appropriate, to
operations in the period in which they are identified.  If a collateral property
is sold, CCEP/2 remains liable for any outstanding debt under the Master Loan
Agreement, however, the value of the net investment in Master Loan on the
Partnership's books would be written down to the appropriate level.

Reclassifications:  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and
1994 information to conform to the 1996 presentation.

Note B - Securities Available for Sale

Investments, stated at cost, consist of the following at December 31, 1996, (in
thousands):

                                  Face              Maturity

 Redeemable Series A
 Preferred Stock          N/A      $11       $11       N/A

The Partnership's investments are classified as available for sale.  The General
Partner believes that the market value of the investment is approximately the
same as its cost.

Note C - Net Investment in Master Loan

At December 31, 1996, the recorded investment in the Master Loan is considered
to be impaired under "Statement 114."  The Partnership measured the impairment
of the loan based upon the fair value of the collateral due to the fact that
repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the collateral.  For
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership recorded
approximately $362,000 and $587,000, respectively, in income based upon an
increase in the fair value of the collateral.

The principal balance of the Master Loan due to the Partnership totaled
approximately $84.2 million and $91.8 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Interest due to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the
Master Loan Agreement, but not recognized in the income statements, totaled
approximately $20.6 million, $18.8 million and $15.4 million for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
such cumulative unrecognized interest totaled approximately $133.3 million and
$112.7 million and was not included in the balance of the investment in Master
Loan.  The allowance for possible losses totaled approximately $48 million and
$48.4 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

During 1996, the Partnership advanced $1,000,000 to CCEP/2 as an advance on the
Master Loan.  The advance was used by CCEP/2 to fund deferred maintenance and
capital improvement projects on these properties in order to maximize returns
during improved market conditions as well as maintain the condition of the
properties securing the Master Loan.  CCEP/2 has approximately $33,180,000 in
liens on the collateral that are superior to the Master Loan.

The investment in Master Loan consists of the following:


                                            AS OF DECEMBER 31,
                                            1996        1995

following:

                                                   AS OF DECEMBER 31,

Terms of the New Master Loan Agreement:  Under the terms of the New Master Loan
Agreement, interest accrues at 10% and payments are due quarterly in an amount
equal to Excess Cash Flow, generally defined in the New Master Loan Agreement as
net cash flow after third party debt service and capital improvements.  If such
Excess Cash Flow payments are less than the current accrued interest during the
quarterly period, the unpaid interest is added to principal, compounded 
annually, and is payable at the  maturity.  If such Excess Cash Flow payments 
are greater than the current accrued interest, the excess amount is applied to 
the principal balance of the loan.  Any net proceeds from the sale or 
refinancing of any of CCEP/2's properties are paid to the Partnership under 
the terms of the New Master Loan Agreement.  The New Master Loan Agreement 
matures in November 2000.

Effective January 1, 1993, the Partnership and CCEP/2 amended the New Master
Loan Agreement to stipulate that Excess Cash Flow would be computed net of
capital improvements.  Such expenditures were formerly funded from advances on
the Master Loan from the Partnership to CCEP/2.  This amendment and change in
the definition of Excess Cash Flow will have the effect of reducing income on
the investment in Master Loan by the amount of CCEP/2's capital expenditures,
since such amounts were previously excluded from Excess Cash Flow.

EP/2's Bankruptcy Settlement:  In November 1990, pursuant to EP/2's
reorganization plan described in "Note A," the Partnership and EP/2 consummated
a closing pursuant to which:  (1) the Partnership and EP/2 executed the New
Master Loan Agreement more fully described below; (2) CCEP/2 renewed the deeds
of trust on all the collateral securing the Master Loan; (3) the Partnership
received cash of approximately $2.5 million, including $1.8 million from the
general partners of EP/2 related to their promissory notes; (4) the Partnership
accepted assignment of certain partnership interests in affiliated partnerships
(the "Affiliated Partnership Interests"), which were valued by management of the
Partnership at approximately $2.5 million, as additional collateral securing the
Master Loan; and (5) all liabilities and claims between the Partnership and
EP/2's general partners were released.

EP/2 was the holder of a note receivable secured by North Park Plaza which had
not been performing according to the note terms since 1989.  In the process of
negotiating the final bankruptcy settlement discussed above, EP/2 assigned its
interest in the note receivable to the Partnership.  The Partnership foreclosed
upon and acquired North Park Plaza in July 1990, CCEP/2 is still obligated for
$6.6 million under the Master Loan attributable to North Park Plaza not
extinguished in the foreclosure proceeding.

Note D - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities.
The Partnership paid property management fees based upon collected gross rental
revenues for property management services as noted below for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.  For the year ended December 31, 1994, a
portion of such property management fees were paid to Coventry Properties, Inc.
("Coventry"), an affiliate of the General Partner, for day-to-day property
management services and a portion was paid to Partnership Services, Inc. ("PSI")
for advisory services related to day-to-day property operations.  In late
December 1994, an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia")
assumed day-to-day property management responsibilities for the Partnership's
property.  Fees paid to affiliates of Insignia for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, and fees paid to Coventry and PSI for the year ended December 31,
1994, are reflected in the following table:

                                           FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
                                              1996    1995      1994
                                                   (in thousands)
 Property management fees                     $ 63    $ 95     $ 19

The Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") also provides for reimbursement to the
General Partner and its affiliates for costs incurred in connection with the
administration of Partnership activities.  The General Partner and its current
and former affiliates, which included Coventry, received reimbursements as
reflected in the following table:


                                            FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
                                                1996       1995       1994
                                                     (in thousands)

 Reimbursements for services of affiliates      $317       $379        $325
 Leasing commissions                              23        101          --

On July 1, 1995, the Partnership began insuring its properties under a master
policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the General Partner.  An
affiliate of the General Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a business,
certain financial obligations from an insurance agency which was later acquired
by the agent who placed the current year's master policy.  The agent assumed the
financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner, who receives
payments on these obligations from the agent.  The amount of the partnership's
insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the General
Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.

Note E - Commitment and Contingencies

The Partnership is required by the Partnership Agreement to maintain working
capital reserves for contingencies of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital,
as defined in the Partnership Agreement.  In the event expenditures are made
from this reserve, operating revenue shall be allocated to such reserves to the
extent necessary to maintain the foregoing levels.  Reserves, including cash and
cash equivalents and securities available for sale (at market), totaling
approximately $18.5 million, were greater than the reserve requirement of $7.6
million at December 31, 1996.

The Partnership is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation that is not
of a routine nature.  The General Partner believes that all such matters are
adequately covered by insurance and will be resolved without a material adverse
effect upon the business, financial condition, results of operations, or
liquidity of the Partnership.

Note F - Other Income

In 1991, the Partnership (and simultaneously 15 Affiliated Partnerships) entered
claims in Southmark Corporation's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding.  These
claims related to Southmark Corporation's activities while it exercised control
(directly, or indirectly through its affiliates) over the Partnership.  The
Bankruptcy Court set the Partnership's and the affiliated Partnerships' allowed
claim at $11 million, in aggregate.  In March 1994, the Partnership received
1,468 shares of Southmark Corporation Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock and
10,738 shares of Southmark Corporation New Common Stock with an aggregate market
value on the date of receipt of $11,000 and approximately $80,000 in cash 
representing the Partnership's share of the recovery, based on its pro rata 
share of the claims filed.  Other income for 1995 includes a $286,000 refund 
from the former master insurance policy.

Note G - Sale of Real Estate

In September 1996, the Partnership sold North Park Plaza, an office building in
Southfield, Michigan, for net sales proceeds of approximately $2,004,000 after
payment of closing costs.  The Partnership realized a loss of approximately
$90,000 on the sale in 1996.

The sales transaction is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Cash proceeds received              $ 2,004
Net real estate (1)                  (1,708)
Net other assets                       (386)

  Loss on sale of real estate       $   (90)

taken for Federal income tax purposes at December 31, 1995, was approximately
$2,070,000.

Item 9. Changes In And Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting And
        Financial Disclosure.

As of May 3, 1995, Arthur Andersen LLP, the independent accountant previously
engaged as the principal accountant to audit the financial statements of the
Registrant, was dismissed.  As of the same date, the firm of Ernst & Young LLP
was engaged to provide that service for the Registrant.

During the Partnership's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim
period preceding the change, there were no disagreements with the former
accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if
not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with
its report.
