              Capital Builders Development Properties II
                  (A California Limited Partnership)
                                   
                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND
         ORGANIZATION

A   summary   of   the   significant  accounting   policies   applied   in   the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Basis of Accounting

The   financial  statements  of  Capital  Builders  Development  Properties   II
(The  "Partnership")  are  prepared  on the  accrual  basis  of  accounting  and
therefore   revenue  is  recorded  as  earned  and  costs   and   expenses   are
recorded as incurred.

Organization

Capital    Builders   Development   Properties   II,   a   California    Limited
Partnership,  is  owned  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  California.   The
Managing   General   Partner   is   Capital   Builders,   Inc.,   a   California
corporation   (CB).    The  Associate  General  Partners  are:   1)   the   sole
shareholder, President and Director of CB, 2) four founders of CB.

The  Partnership  is  in  the  business  of  real  estate  development  and   is
not  a  significant  factor  in  its  industry.   The  Partnership's  investment
properties  are  located  near  major  urban  areas  and,  accordingly,  compete
not   only   with  similar  properties  in  their  immediate  areas   but   with
hundreds  of  properties  throughout  the  urban  areas.   Such  competition  is
primarily  on  the  basis  of  locations, rents,  services  and  amenities.   In
addition,    the    Partnership   competes   with   significant    numbers    of
individuals    or   organizations   (including   similar   partnerships,    real
estate   investment  trusts  and  financial  institutions)   with   respect   to
the  purchase  and  sale  of land, primarily on the  basis  of  the  prices  and
terms of such transactions.

Investment Securities

Investment  securities  at  June  30, 1996  consist  of  a  money  fund  account
with   Merrill   Lynch.   Under  the  provisions  of  Statement   of   Financial
Accounting   Standards   No.  115,  "Accounting  for  Certain   Investments   in
Debt   and   Equity  Securities",  the  Partnership  is  required  to   classify
any   of   its   debt   or  equity  securities  in  one  of  three   categories:
trading,  available-for-sale,  or  held-to-maturity.   As  of  June  30,   1996,
the   Partnership's  securities  consist  of  trading  securities.   These   are
securities  in  which  the  Partnership has  the  ability  and  intent  to  hold
the  security  until  funds  are  needed to construct  Phase  II.   As  of  June
30,   1996,   the  amortized  cost  of  the  securities  approximates  estimated
market   value.    A  decline  in  the  market  value  of  any  held-to-maturity
security  below  cost  that  is  deemed  other  than  temporary  results  in   a
reduction  in  carrying  amount  to  fair  value.   The  impairment  is  charged
to   earnings   and   a  new  cost  basis  for  the  security  is   established.
Premiums  and  discounts  are  amortized or accredited  over  the  life  of  the
related   held-to-maturity  security  as  an  adjustment  to  yield  using   the
effective   interest   method.   Interest  income  is  recognized   as   earned.
As   of   June   30,  1996,  there  have  been  no  impairments,   premiums   or
discounts recognized.

Due from Joint Venture

The   Partnership   adopted   the   provisions   of   Statement   of   Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  114  "Accounting  by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of
a   Loan",   as   amended  by  SFAS  No.  118,  "Accounting  by  Creditors   for
Impairment  of  a  Loan-Income  Recognition  and  Disclosure",  on  January   1,
1995.    Management,  considering  current  information  and  events   regarding
the  borrowers  ability  to  repay  their  obligations,  considers  a  note   to
be  impaired  when  it  is  probable that the  Partnership  will  be  unable  to
collect  all  amounts  due  according  to the  contractual  terms  of  the  note
agreement.   When  a  loan  is  considered to be impaired,  the  amount  of  the
impairment   is  measured  based  on  the  present  value  of  expected   future
cash   flows  discounted  at  the  note's  effective  interest  rate,  the  fair
market   value  of  collateral  securing  the  note,  if  any  or   the   note's
observable   market   price.    Impairment   losses   are   included   in    the
allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  through  a  charge  to  bad  debt   expense.
Cash   receipts  on  impaired  notes  receivable  are  applied  to  reduce   the
principal   amount  of  such  notes  until  the  principal  has  been  recovered
and   are  recognized  as  interest  income,  thereafter.   Prior  periods  have
not been restated.

Investment Properties

The   Partnership's   investment  property  account   consists   of   commercial
land   and   buildings  that  are  carried  at  the  lower  of  cost,   net   of
accumulated   depreciation  and  amortization  less  valuation   allowance   for
possible   investment   losses.   The   valuation   allowance   represents   the
excess  carrying  value  of  individual  properties  over  their  estimated  net
realizable   value.    The   additions   to   the   valuation   allowance    for
possible   investment  losses  are  recorded  after  consideration  of   various
external    factors,   particularly   the   lack   of   credit   available    to
purchasers  of  real  estate  and  overbuilt  real  estate  markets,   both   of
which  adversely  affect  real  estate.  A gain or  loss  will  be  recorded  to
the   extent   that  the  amounts  ultimately  realized  from   property   sales
differ    from    those   currently   estimated.    In   the   event    economic
conditions   for   real   estate  continue  to  decline,  additional   valuation
losses   may   be   recognized.  Net  realizable  value   is   based   upon   an
appraisal   of  the  property  by  an  independent  appraiser  and  management's
assessment   of  current  market  conditions.   Depreciation  is  provided   for
in   amounts   sufficient   to  relate  the  cost  of  depreciable   assets   to
operations  over  their  estimated  service  lives  of  three  to  forty  years.
The   straight-line   method   of  depreciation  is   followed   for   financial
reporting purposes.

Other Assets

Included  in  other  assets  are  loan  fees.   Loan  fees  are  amortized  over
the life of the related note.

Lease Commissions

Lease commissions are being amortized over the related lease terms.

Income Taxes

The  Partnership  has  no  provision  for  income  taxes  since  all  income  or
losses are reported separately on the individual partners' tax returns.

Investment in Joint Venture

Partnership  investments  of  20  to  50  percent  are  accounted  for  by   the
equity   method.    Under  this  method,  the  investments   are   recorded   at
initial   cost   and  increased  for  partnership  income  and   decreased   for
partnership losses and distributions.

Revenue Recognition

Rental  income  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  life  of
the lease, which may differ from the scheduled rental payments.

Net Loss per Limited Partnership Unit

The   net  loss  per  limited  partnership  unit  is  computed  based   on   the
weighted  average  number  of  units  outstanding  during  the  year  of  23,030
in 1996 and 1995.

Statement of Cash Flows

For  purposes  of  statement  of  cash  flows,  the  Partnership  considers  all
short-term  investments  with  a  maturity,  at  date  of  purchase,  of   three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

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  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.

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT AND FEE ARRANGEMENT

The  Managing  General  Partner  (Capital  Builders,  Inc.)  and  the  Associate
General  Partners  are  entitled  to  reimbursement  of  expenses  incurred   on
behalf  of  the  Partnership  and  certain fees  from  the  Partnership.   These
fees   consist  of  an  acquisition  fee  of  up  to  12.5  percent   of   gross
proceeds  from  the  sale  of  the  Partnership  units;  a  property  management
fee  up  to  6  percent  of  gross revenues realized  by  the  Partnership  with
respect  to  its  properties;  a  subordinated  real  estate  commission  of  up
to   3   percent   of   the  gross  sales  price  of  the  properties;   and   a
subordinated   25   percent   share  of  the  Partnership's   distributions   of
cash   from  sales  or  refinancing.   The  property  management  fee  currently
being charged is 5 percent of gross revenues collected.

All   acquisition   fees  and  expenses,  all  underwriting   commissions,   and
all  offering  and  organizational  expenses  which  can  be  paid  are  limited
to   20   percent  of  the  gross  proceeds  from  sales  of  partnership  units
provided  the  Partnership  incurs  no  borrowing  to  develop  its  properties.
However,  these  fees  may  increase  to  a  maximum  of  33  percent   of   the
gross    offering    proceeds   based   upon   the   total    acquisition    and
development   costs,   including  borrowing.   Since  the   formation   of   the
partnership,  27.5%  of  these  fees  were paid  to  the  partnership's  related
parties,   leaving  a  remaining  maximum  of  5.5%  ($633,325)  of  the   gross
offering   proceeds.    The   ultimate   amount   of   these   costs   will   be
determined once the properties are fully developed and leveraged.

The   total   management  fees  paid  to  the  Managing  General  Partner   were
$26,593  and  $25,373  for  the  six months ending  June  30,  1996,  and  1995,
respectively,   while  total  reimbursement  of  expenses   were   $85,637   and
$67,568, respectively.

The   Managing   General  Partner  will  reduce  its  future  participation   in
proceeds  from  sales  by  an  amount equal  to  the  loss  on  the  abandonment
of  option  fees  in  1988  ($110,000) and interest on  the  amount  at  a  rate
equal  to  that  of  the  borrowed  funds rate  as  determined  by  construction
or permanent funds utilized by the Partnership.

NOTE 4 - DUE FROM JOINT VENTURE

The   receivable  represents  funds  advanced  to  Capital  Builders   Roseville
Venture  (Note  5)  which  earns  interest at 8.24  and  10.5  percent  at  June

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were  used   by  the  Partnership  in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

     Cash    and    cash    equivalents,   Investment    securities,    Accounts
     receivable,   net,   Due   from  Joint  Venture,   Accounts   payable   and
     accrued liabilities
     The   carrying  amount  approximates  fair  value  because  of  the   short
     maturity of these instruments.

     Note payable
     The   fair   value   of  the  Partnership's  Note  Payable   is   estimated
     based  on  the  quoted  market  prices  for  the  same  or  similar  issues
     or  on  the  current  rates  offered to the Partnership  for  debt  of  the
     same remaining maturities.

The  estimated  fair  values  of  the  Partnership's  financial  instruments  as
of June 30, 1995 are as follows:

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The  Partnership  is  involved  in  litigation  arising  in  the  normal  course
of   its   business.    In   the  opinion  of  management,   the   Partnership's
recovery   or  liability  if  any,  under  any  pending  litigation  would   not
materially affect its financial condition or operations.


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Partnership  commenced  operations on  May  22,  1986,  upon  the  sale  of
the   minimum   number   of  Limited  Partnership  Units.    The   Partnership's
initial  source  of  cash  was  from  the sale  of  Limited  Partnership  Units.
Through   the   offering  of  Units,  the  Partnership  has  raised  $11,515,000
(represented  by  23,030  Limited  Partnership  Units).   Cash  generated   from
the sale of Limited Partnership Units has been used to acquire land and
for  the  development  of  a  mixed use commercial  project  and  a  40  percent
interest in a commercial office project.

The   Partnership's   primary   current  sources   of   cash   are   from   cash
reserves,   investment  income,  and  property  rental  income.   As   of   June
30, 1996, the Partnership had $320,602 in cash reserves.

It   is   the   Partnership's  investment  goal  to  utilize  existing   capital
resources   for   continued   leasing  operations   (tenant   improvements   and
leasing    commissions)    and   further   development   of    its    investment
properties.     The    Partnership   is   currently    proceeding    with    the
development  of  Phase  II,  consisting  of  approximately  45,620  square  feet
of   two,   one-story  Light  Industrial/Office  space  buildings.   The   total
development    cost   of   Phase   II   is   estimated   to   be   approximately
$2,800,000.   Funds  for  these  improvements  will  come  from  existing   cash
reserves,   property   income,   additional  borrowings,   and   proceeds   from
investment securities.

The  Partnership's  ability  to  maintain or  improve  cash  flow  is  dependent
upon   its   ability   to   maintain   and  improve   the   occupancy   of   its
investment  properties.   The  Partnership's  financial  resources   appear   to
be  adequate  to  meet  current year's obligations  and  no  adverse  change  in
liquidity is foreseen.

Results of Operations

The   Partnership's  total  revenues  increased  by  $28,835  (4.8%)   for   the
six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,  as  compared  to  June  30,  1995.   Total
expenses,  net  of  depreciation,  also  increased  by  $78,462  (17.2%),  while
depreciation   expense  decreased  by  $146,729  (43%)  for   the   six   months
ended  June  30,  1996,  as  compared  to  June  30,  1995.   In  addition,  the
loss  on  the  investment  in Joint Venture decreased  by  $26,333  in  1996  as
compared  to  1995,  all  resulting  in a  decrease  of  net  loss  of  $123,435
(46%)  for  the  six  months  ended June 30,  1996,  as  compared  to  June  30,
1995.

The  increase  in  revenues  is  primarily due  to  an  increase  in  occupancy.
During   the   first   two   quarters  of  1996,  Highlands   80   averaged   an
occupancy   rate   of   approximately  93%,  whereas  during   the   first   two
quarters of 1995, the property averaged only 91%.

Expenses,  net  of  depreciation,  increased  for  the  six  months  ended  June
30,  1996,  as  compared  to  June 30, 1995,  due  to  the  net  effect  of:  a)
$14,731   (12.9%)   increase  in  operating  expenses  primarily   due   to   an
increase   of  marketing  costs  associated  with  Phase  II  plus  an  increase
in   utilities   relating   to  an  increase  in   occupancy   of   the   office
building  b)   $9,015  (14.9%)  increase  in  repairs  and  maintenance  due  to
major   roof   repairs   performed  on  the  project's  buildings,   c)   $8,188
(28.3%)  increase  in  property  taxes due to a  tax  refund  received  in  1995
for  a  temporary  reduction  in  the property's  assessed  value,   d)  $34,566
(18.4%)   increase  in  interest  costs  due  to  an  increase   in   the   loan
balance  (the  additional  loan  proceeds are to  be  used  to  fund  additional
Phase   II  improvements,  see  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources  for  further
discussion),   and  e)  $11,962  (18.2%)  increase  due  to   an   increase   in
investor services and due to the timing of accounting fees.
