                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



Note A - Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of the General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, for
Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties ("Partnership").

   Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform
to the 1996 presentation.

Note B - Related Party Transactions

   Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties ("Partnership") paid property
management fees based upon collected gross rental revenues for property
management services as noted below for the three month periods ended March 31,
1996 and 1995. Fees paid to affiliates of Insignia during the three month
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, are included in operating expenses on the
consolidated statement of operations and are reflected in the following table. 
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.  These reimbursements are included in
general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations. 
The General Partner, and its current affiliates, received reimbursements as
reflected in the following table:
                                                                             
                                                 For the Three Months Ended
                                                          March 31,        
                                                   1996               1995 
                                                        (in thousands)       
                                                                           
    Property management fees                       $ 97               $ 17 
    Reimbursement for services of affiliates         58                115 

   Property management fees increased during the three months ended March 31,
1996, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995, due to the addition
of the Carlton House Apartment and Office Building on November 30, 1995. 
Reimbursements for services of affiliates decreased during the three months
ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The
three months ended March 31, 1995, included the additional costs associated with
the combined efforts of the Dallas and Greenville offices during the transition
period that ended June 30, 1995.

   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 C - Net Investment in Master Loan

   Interest due to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the Master Loan
Agreement, but not recognized in the income statements, totaled approximately
$7.4 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  At March 31, 1996, and December 31, 1995, such cumulative
unrecognized interest totaling approximately $145.6 million and $138.2 million
was not included in the balance of the investment in Master Loan.

   During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership advanced approximately
$367,000 to Consolidated Capital Equity Partners, L.P. ("CCEP") as an advance on
the Master Loan.  CCEP used the funds to pay for deferred maintenance and
capital improvements on the properties which collateralize the Master Loan.  A
portion of the advance was used to pay for additional expenses related to the
December 1995 financing of six of CCEP's investment properties.  Also, a portion
of the advance was used to pay taxes on behalf of 1801 Tower Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary.  

   During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership received approximately
$175,000 as principal payments on the Master Loan.  Approximately $101,000 was
due to the return of a real estate tax escrow set up at the time of the December
1995 financing of a certain CCEP investment property.  This escrow was held
until CCEP was able to provide proof of payment to the mortgage lender.  Cash
received on certain investments by CCEP, which are required to be transferred to
the Partnership per the agreement, accounted for approximately $74,000.

Note D - Commitment

   The Partnership is required by the Agreement to maintain working capital
reserves for contingencies of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital, as
defined in the 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 level. Reserves, including cash and cash equivalents and
securities available for sale (at market), totaling approximately $16.3 million,
were greater than the reserve requirement of approximately $7.3 million at March
31, 1996.

Note E - Subsequent Events

   Subsequent to March 31, 1996, the Carlton House Apartment and Office Building
was renamed "The Sterling."


ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Partnership's investment properties consists of two properties, The
Lofts and The Carlton House Apartment and Office Building ("Carlton House"). 
The Carlton House is a multiple-use facility which consists of an apartment
complex and commercial space. This property was transferred from CCEP to a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership on November 30, 1995.  The operations
of Carlton House had a significant impact on the results of operations of the
Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 1996, with revenues of
approximately $1,586,000 and expenses of approximately $1,460,000.  Subsequent
to March 31, 1996, the Carlton House was renamed "The Sterling."  The following
table sets forth the average occupancies of the properties for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995:
                                                                             
                                                        Average       
                                                       Occupancy

    Raleigh, North Carolina                                         
                                                                    
 The Carlton House (residential)                   87%          83%

    Philadelphia, Pennsylvania                                      

Results of Operations
                                                                   
   The Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was
approximately $372,000 as compared to net income of approximately $1,510,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The decrease in net income is primarily
due to the fact there was no interest income recorded on investment in Master
Loan to affiliate during the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This decrease
is the result of decreased operations at the affiliated properties.   Offsetting
this decrease in income was the transfer of The Carlton House from CCEP to the
Partnership which resulted in net income for the Partnership of approximately 
$126,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The transfer caused
significant increases in rental income, operating expenses, and depreciation. 
Also, the Lofts experienced increased operating expenses during the three months
ended March 31, 1996, due to major landscaping work done at the property.
General and administrative expenses  decreased during the three months ended
March 31, 1996, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995, as a
result of the additional costs associated with the combined efforts of the
Dallas and Greenville offices during the transition period that ended June 30,
1995.  The increased costs related to the transition efforts were incurred to
minimize any disruption in the 1994 year-end reporting function including K-1
preparation and distribution.  Interest expense increased as a result of the
financing of The Lofts in December 1995.  This property did not have a mortgage
balance prior to December 1995 and as a result had no interest expense during
the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Other income increased during the three
months ended March 31,  1996, due to the investment of the proceeds received
from the December 1995 financing of The Lofts and the principal payments
received on the Master Loan in December 1995. 

    As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess
the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels
and protecting the Partnership from increases in expense.  As part of this plan,
the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of
inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a
high overall occupancy level.  However, due to changing market conditions, which
can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset
softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will
be able to sustain such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of approximately
$10,740,000 versus approximately $2,738,000 at March 31, 1995.  Net cash
provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the decrease in
interest receivable on the Master Loan.  Offsetting this increase was a decrease
in net income as explained above.  Cash used in investing activities increased
due to cash received in 1995 from the sale of securities available for sale and
an increase in property improvements and replacements during the three months
ended March 31, 1996. Net cash used in financing activities increased due to
increased distributions paid to the partners as well as principal payments on
the mortgage note for The Lofts.

   The Partnership has budgeted for the completion of approximately $14 million
of deferred maintenance and capital improvements to The Carlton House during
1996 and 1997.  These programs will be funded using a portion of the cash
received from CCEP in 1995 on debt service on the Master Loan and cash flow from
property operations, if available, as well as cash and cash equivalents on hand.
The major capital improvements are for exterior renovation, elevator
rehabilitation, residential and commercial common area renovations.

   The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and
capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets
and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are currently thought
to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.  The mortgage
indebtedness of approximately $4,560,000 requires monthly principal and interest
payments and requires a balloon payment on December 1, 2005, at which time the
property will either be refinanced or sold.  Distributions of approximately
$15,484,000 or $77.79 per Unit were made to the limited partners in  March 1996.
A matching distribution of approximately $15,000 was made to the General
Partner.  A distribution of approximately $1,485,000 or $7.46 per Unit was made
to the limited partners in March 1995.  A matching distribution of approximately
$15,000 was made to the General Partner.  Future cash distributions will depend
on the levels of cash generated from operations, Master Loan interest income,
capital expenditure requirements, 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, totaling approximately $16.3
million, were greater than the reserve requirement of $7.3 million as of March
31, 1996.

CCEP Property Operations

   The Partnership invested approximately $367,000 in CCEP during the three
months ended March 31, 1996, as additional advances under the Master Loan.  CCEP
used the funds to pay for deferred maintenance and capital improvements on the
properties which collateralize the Master Loan.  A portion of the advance was
used to pay for additional expenses related to the December 1995 financing of
six of CCEP's investment properties.  Also, a portion of the advance was used to
pay taxes on behalf of 1801 Tower Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary.

   For the three months ended March 31, 1996, CCEP's net loss totaled
approximately  $7.6 million on total revenues of approximately $4.9 million. 
CCEP 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 the three
months ended March 31, 1996, CCEP's statement of operations includes total
interest expense attributable to the Master Loan of $7.4 million, all of which
represents interest accrued in excess of required payments.  CCEP is expected to
continue to generate operating losses as a result of such interest accruals and
noncash charges for depreciation.  

   During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership received
approximately $175,000 as principal payments on the Master Loan.  Approximately
$101,000 was due to the return of a real estate tax escrow set up at the time of
the December 1995 financing of a certain CCEP investment property.  This escrow
was held until CCEP was able to provide proof of payment to the mortgage lender.
Cash received on certain investments by CCEP, which are required to be
transferred to the Partnership per the agreement, accounted for approximately
$74,000.
