Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


     Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning
as in the prospectus of Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. II (the
"Partnership") dated May 7, 1992, as supplemented to date (the "Prospectus").

     On January 29, 1997 the Partnership sold two net leased real estate
properties (including land and building) for $2,335,000 and three net leased
equipment packages for $425,000 (the "Assets") to Captec Net Lease Realty,
Inc., a Michigan corporation ("Purchaser") and an affiliate of Captec Franchise
Capital Corporation II, the managing general partner of the Partnership
("Managing General Partner").  The sale was effective as of January 1, 1997.
The Purchaser and the Managing General Partner of the Partnership have the
following common directors, shareholders and officers: Patrick L. Beach and W.
Ross Martin.

     All rights and obligations under the leases were assigned to the
Purchaser.  The total sale price of $2,760,000 (the "Sale Price") included a
$325,000 settlement paid to the Partnership by Tropicana Taco Cabana, Ltd.,
which amount was transferred to the Purchaser in the sale.  In addition, the
Purchaser assumed the note payable to Heller Financial, Inc. with a principal
balance as of January 29, 1997  of $742,425 and assumed the accrued liability
of $7,424 related to a prepayment premium on the note.

     The Sale Price was determined by valuing the properties in excess of
recent MAI appraisals and by valuing the equipment leases by computing the net
present value of the remaining rental payments due under those leases and
estimated residual values of such equipment.

     The sale of the Assets was recommended by the Managing General Partner of
the Partnership in a Plan of Liquidation dated November 18, 1996 (the "Plan")
which was mailed to all limited partners and which required a vote in favor of
the Plan prior to proceeding with the sale.  The Plan was approved by a
majority of the limited partners on December 23, 1996.

     Simultaneous with the sale, after paying all expenses of the Partnership,
the Partnership was liquidated.  The liquidation resulted in a final
distribution to the limited partners on January 28, 1997 in the amount of
$2,000,569; or $515.47 per Unit.

DESCRIPTION OF ASSETS

     The Partnership sold the land and a 3,800 square foot building located at
3575 West Tropicana Blvd., Las Vegas Nevada (the "Las Vegas Property") for
$1,755,000. At the time of sale, the Partnership obtained an independent MAI
appraisal on the Las Vegas Property.  The appraised value as of November 1996
was $1,100,000.

     The Partnership sold its interest in CFCP II (the "Joint Venture"), a
joint venture which was formed for the sole purpose of acquiring the land and
3,400 square foot building located at 13606 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., Tampa,
Florida (the "Tampa Property"). The Partnership obtained an independent MAI
appraisal on the Tampa Property reflecting the value attributable to the
Partnership interest of $490,590, as of November 1996.

                                      2



   3



     The Partnership sold three equipment packages that are currently under
lease to various tenants for a total of $425,000.  The Partnership sold a
modular building, which is classified as equipment, being used in the operation
of a Checkers Drive-In-Restaurant located in Kissimme, Florida for $132,000;
restaurant equipment being used in the operation of a Schlotsky's Deli located
at 2835 N. Memorial Parkway, Huntsville, Alabama for $88,000; and restaurant
equipment being used in the operation of an Italian Oven located at Cedar Knoll
Galleria, Ashland, Kentucky for $205,000.
