Exhibit 3.3, and the Amendment to the Limited Partnership
Agreement dated May 22, 1986 filed as Exhibit 3.4 to Registration
Statement No. 33-4682 of Capital Builders Development Properties
II, A California Limited Partnership, are hereby incorporated by
reference into Part IV of this Form 10K.
PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business

Capital Builders Development Properties II (the "Partnership") is
a publicly held limited partnership organized under the
provisions of the California Revised Limited Partnership Act
pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement dated February 6,
1986, as amended (the "Agreement"). The Partnership commenced on
May 22, 1986 and shall continue in full force and effect until
December 31, 2021 unless dissolved sooner by certain events as
described in the Agreement. The Managing General Partner is
Capital Builders, Inc., a California Corporation (CB). The
Associate General Partners are the sole shareholder, President
and Director of CB, and four founders of CB.

On October 6, 1986 the Partnership sold 2,407 Limited Partnership
Units for a total of $1,203,500. From October 6, 1986, through
May 21, 1988, the Partnership sold an additional 20,623 Units for
a total of 23,030 Units. On May 21, 1988, the Partnership was
closed to capital raising activity with a total of $11,515,000
proceeds raised from the offering. The General Partners have
contributed capital in the amount of $1,000 to the Partnership
for a 1% interest in the profits, losses, tax credits and
distributions of the Partnership.

(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments

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 and
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.

(c) Narrative Description of the Business

The Partnership's business objective is to complete the
development of its existing land with light industrial and office
buildings for lease and eventual sale. The primary investment
objective of the Partnership is to realize capital appreciation
from the sale of the Properties developed by it some three to
five years after such Properties have been placed in service. A
secondary investment objective is to generate cash from the
leasing of Partnership Properties pending their sale for
distribution to the Limited Partners, although it is not
presently anticipated that the amount of such cash available for
distribution to the Limited Partners will be significant. Since
the Partnership has not sold its investment properties, it has
not achieved its investment goals as yet. Although investor
returns cannot be accurately determined until the investment
properties are sold, due to the additional time required to lease
up the investment properties, the decline in real estate values
and the California recession, it is anticipated that ultimate
returns will be less than initially projected. Funds obtained by
the Partnership from the sale of Limited Partnership Units have
been used to acquire equity interest in one piece of land for
development and a 40% equity interest in another for development
in accordance with its investment objective.

On April 10, 1987, the Partnership entered into a joint venture
called Capital Builders Roseville Venture ("JV") with Capital
Builders Development Properties ("CBDP"), a California limited
partnership. The Partnership and CBDP are affiliates as they
have the same General Partner, but there are no direct
transactions between the respective Partnerships. The
Partnership contributed $900,000 resulting in a 40% interest in
the profits, losses and cash distributions of the JV. CB, the
Managing General Partner of the Partnership, has the same rights
and obligations with respect to the JV's operations and
management as it may exercise as Managing General Partner of the
Partnership. The JV shall continue in full force and effect
until December 31, 2010 unless dissolved sooner by mutual
agreement, sale of the investment property, default by a joint
venture partner or by filing of bankruptcy by one of the joint
partners.

The acquisition of the real estate is consistent with the
Partnership objectives which are to acquire, develop, hold,
maintain, lease, sell, or otherwise dispose of real property
within the Western United States (including the states of
California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico,
Utah, Colorado, Hawaii, and Alaska), including without
limitation, the acquisition of undeveloped land for development
and construction of research and development, light industrial,
commercial/retail, or office buildings thereon, and the
acquisition of partially completed commercial real property
developments for completion of development.

Although the Associate General Partners, Officers, and Directors
of the Managing General Partners are experienced in real property
operation and management, they also may utilize independent
advisors, agents, and workers, in addition to the Partnership
employees, to assist them in the operation, leasing, maintenance
and improvement of the Partnership's properties.

The Partnership has no full time employees but is managed by CB,
the Managing General Partner.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Partnership owns 100% equity interest in a property called
Highlands 80 Commerce Center ("H80") and a 40% joint venture
interest in another property called Capital Professional Center
("CPC"). H80 is a three phase development. Phase I is a
109,000 square foot office/industrial project consisting of five
multi-tenant buildings. Phase II consists of approximately
45,921 square feet of two, one-story light industrial/office
space buildings and Phase III consists of one 29,000 square foot
office building. The Partnership is currently proceeding with
the development of Phase II, in which one building consisting of
26,141 square feet was completed in early 1997. The remaining
19,780 square foot building of Phase II is estimated to start
construction during the second quarter of 1997. Remaining Phase
II development costs are estimated to be approximately
$1,590,000. Funds for these improvements will come from existing
cash reserves, property income, and additional borrowings.

H80 is held subject to an encumbrance which is more fully
described under Note 6 of the Partnership's financial statements
included under Item 8 which is incorporated herein by reference.

CPC is held subject to a permanent loan in the original amount of
$3,500,000. The interest rate is fixed at 8.24%1 and is due and
payable on January 1, 2001. The balance of the loan at December
31, 1996 is $3,455,591. Payments are monthly principal and
interest amortized over 25 years. The note is collateralized by
a first deed of trust on the land, building and improvements.

Both properties are being leased to a wide variety of tenants in
a diversity of industries. Leases are typically three to five
years in term and provide for free rent periods, at inception,
equal to approximately one month per year of lease term. Some
leases contain options to extend the term of the lease.

The Partnership's investment properties are located in major
urban areas and, therefore, must compete with properties of
greater and lesser quality. Such competition is based primarily
on rent, location, services and amenities. The properties are
suitable for their current and anticipated use.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS
There is no public trading market for the Partnership's Limited
Partnership Units and it is not anticipated that a public trading
market will develop. Furthermore, the Partnership Agreement
prohibits Limited Partners from transferring Limited Partnership
Interests if such transfers would result in the dissolution of
the Partnership for tax purposes under Section 708 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

As of December 31, 1996, there were 1,906 holders and 23,030
Limited Partnership Units outstanding.

ITEM 7. 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% interest
in a commercial office project.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership
incurred a decrease in accounts receivable of $74,902 and an
increase of $85,171 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
which contributed towards $274,763 in cash provided by operating
activities.

In addition, the Partnership generated $22,050 in cash flow from
investing activities during 1996 as a result of the following:
1) The Partnership's investment of $1,214,118 in U.S. Treasury
Bills matured and was converted into cash, 2) $225,000 in
affiliate loan advances were provided to its joint venture, 3)
Tenant improvements to the Partnership's existing buildings of
approximately $99,500 and approximately $992,000 for the
development of Phase II was incurred (See Item 2 of the Form 10K
for further discussion), and 4) $124,480 of proportionate
ownership distributions were paid to the Partnership from the
Joint Venture.

The Partnership's primary current sources of cash are from excess
cash and property rental income.

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 45,921 square feet of two, one-story Light
Industrial/Office space buildings. One building of Phase II,
consisting of 26,141 square feet has been completed. The
remaining 19,780 square foot building is estimated to start
construction during the second quarter of 1997. Remaining Phase
II development costs are estimated to be approximately
$1,590,000.
Funds for these improvements will come from existing cash
reserves, property income, and additional borrowings.

As of December 31, 1996, there is an uncertainty in the ability
of the Partnership's Joint Venture Partner, Capital Builders
Development Properties, to continue as a going concern. If
Capital Builders Development Properties failed to continue its
operations, then either the Joint Venture property would be sold
and all proceeds net of the Joint Venture's Note Payable would be
applied towards the payment of the Partnership's affiliate loan
(with any excess funds being distributed to the Joint Venture
Partners according to their ownership percentages), or the
Partnership would convert its affiliate loan to equity (based on
a current appraised value of the Joint Venture property), and any
remaining equity would be paid to Capital Builders Development
Properties in accordance with the Joint Venture agreement,
thereby dissolving the Joint Venture, with the Partnership
retaining 100% ownership of Capital Professional Center. If
either event occurred, there would not be an adverse impact on
the Partnership's liquidity.

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

1996 vs 1995

The Partnership's total revenues increased by $15,982 (1.3%) in
fiscal year 1996 compared to 1995. Total expenses exclusive of
depreciation also increased by $77,828 (7.9%), while depreciation
expense decreased by $297,560 (46.4%) in fiscal year 1996
compared to 1995. In addition, the loss on the investment in
joint venture decreased by $78,610 in 1996 compared to 1995, all
resulting in a decrease in net loss of $314,324 (53.9%) from
fiscal year 1996 to 1995.

The increase in revenues is primarily due to a $35,000 settlement
for past due rent which had been written-off in 1994.

The Sacramento market in which the property is located is
continuing to improve. Vacancy factors are beginning to decline,
while market rents are starting to increase. During the last
quarter of 1996, Highlands 80 recognized a temporary decline in
occupancy due to a large tenant downsizing, but interest by
potential tenants is increasing and it is Management's opinion
that the property should achieve a stabilized occupancy during
fiscal year 1997.

Expenses, exclusive of depreciation, increased for the fiscal
year 1996 compared to 1995, due to the net effect of :
a) $37,565 (15.7%) increase in operating expenses due to the
recognition of $16,944 in bad debt expense, an increase of
project manager supervision costs associated with the development
of Phase II, plus an increase in marketing costs associated with
Phase II,
b) $4,574 (2.9%) decrease in repairs and maintenance due to the
re-carpeting and repainting of the office building's common area
performed during 1995, which exceeded the cost of repainting the
entire project during 1996,
c) $8,189 (12.4%) increase in Property taxes due to a tax refund
received in 1995 as a result of a reduction in the property's
assessed value,
d) $15,541 (3.9%) increase in interest costs due to an increase
in the average outstanding loan balance during 1996 (the
additional loan proceeds have and will continue to be used to
fund additional Phase II improvements, see Liquidity and Capital
Resources for further discussion), and
e) $21,107 (16.6%) increase in general and administrative costs
due to an increase in investor services, and legal fees.

Total expenses including depreciation decreased by $219,732
(13.5%) for the fiscal year 1996 compared to 1995. The decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense of
$297,560 (46.4%). The reduction of depreciation was the result
of tenant improvement costs that were amortized during 1995,
became fully amortized during the last quarter of 1995 and the
first quarter of 1996. Many of the suites with fully amortized
improvements were either re-leased or their leases renewed
without requiring any major tenant improvement buildout,
therefore reducing the recorded amount of amortization taken
during fiscal year 1996.

1995 vs 1994

The Partnership's total revenues increased by $118,722 (10.9%) in
fiscal year 1995 compared to 1994. Total expenses exclusive of
depreciation also increased by $130,107 (15.2%) mainly due to an
increase in interest costs, while depreciation expense decreased
by $158,310 (19.8%) in fiscal year 1995 compared to 1994. In
addition, the loss on the investment in joint venture increased
by $32,570 in 1995 compared to 1994, all resulting in a decrease
in net loss of $114,355 (16.4%) from fiscal year 1995 to 1994,
respectively.

The increase in revenues is primarily due to an increase in
occupancy and rental rate increases. Highlands 80 occupancy for
the twelve months ended December 31, 1995 averaged 88% as
compared to 84% in 1994.

Expenses exclusive of depreciation increased from the fiscal year
1995 to 1994 due to the net effect of:

a) $16,888 (7.6%) increase in operating expenses due to an
increase in occupancy and the addition of two large tenants in
which janitorial and utilities were provided for in 1995, b)
$42,671 (37.9%) increase in repairs and maintenance expenses
mainly due to the re-carpeting and repainting of the office
building's common area, and also due to an increase in suite
turnover costs (carpet replacement and repainting of suites), c)
$9,756 (12.9%) decrease in property taxes due to a reduction in
the assessed value obtained from Sacramento County, d) $87,477
(27.9%) increase in interest due to the increase in the lending
bank's prime rate during the holding period of the variable rate
loan with Sumitomo Bank and the increase in the borrowings
outstanding in connection with the note payable refinancing (see
Note 6 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for discussion on
Note Payable), e) $7,173 (5.3%) decrease in general
administrative expenses due to improved efficiencies (see Note 2
of the Notes to the Financial Statements for discussion of
reimbursed expenses paid to Managing General Partner).

Total expenses including depreciation decreased by $28,203 (1.7%)
for the fiscal year 1995 compared to 1994. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense of $158,310
(19.8%). The reduction of depreciation was the result of tenant
improvement costs that were amortized during the first three
quarters of 1994 becoming fully amortized in the third quarter of
1994. Many of the suites with improvements fully amortized were
either leased or their leases renewed without requiring any major
tenant improvement buildout, therefore a minimal amount of
amortization was incurred for these suites in 1995.

Independent Auditors' Report


The Partners
Capital Builders Development Properties II:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Capital
Builders Development Properties II, a California Limited
Partnership, as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related

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 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 and
organizations (including similar companies, 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 December 31, 1995 consisted of U.S.
Treasury Bills. As of December 31, 1995 the Partnership's
securities consisted of held-to-maturity securities having a
maturity date of less than one year. As of December 31, 1995,
the amortized cost of the securities approximates estimated
market value. Investment securities matured during 1996.

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 credited
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 December 31,
1995, 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 adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, on January 1, 1995. This
Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to
be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the
fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported
at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact
on the Partnership's financial position, results of operations,
or liquidity.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 121, the Partnership recorded
a valuation allowance for losses which represented the excess
carrying value of individual properties over their estimated net
realizable value. The valuation allowance included in the
accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 1995 was $469,000.
During 1996, this valuation allowance was allocated against the
cost basis of the land and building and improvements to be
consistent with the methodology of SFAS No. 121.

The Partnership's investment property consists of commercial
land, buildings and leasehold improvements that are carried net
of accumulated depreciation. 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

Equity investments of 20 to 50% are accounted for by the equity
method. Under this method, the investments are recorded at
initial cost and increased or decreased for the Partnership's
share of income and losses, and decreased for 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, 1995, and 1994.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the 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 include: a portion of the
sales commissions payable by the Partnership with respect to the
sale of the Partnership Units; an acquisition fee of up to 12.5%
of gross proceeds from the sale of the Partnership Units; a
property management fee up to 6% of gross rental revenues
realized by the Partnership with respect to its properties; a
subordinated real estate commission of up to 3% of the gross
sales price of the properties; and a subordinated 25% share of
the Partnership's distributions of cash from sales or
refinancing. The property management fee currently being charged
is 5% of gross rental revenues collected.

All acquisition fees and expenses, all underwriting commissions,
and all offering and organizational expenses which can be paid
are limited to 20% 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% 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 $52,947, $51,310 and $46,928 for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively, while total reimbursement
of expenses were $176,641, $151,877 and $163,867, 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 3 - INVESTMENT PROPERTY

The components of the investment property account at December 31,
are as follows:

1996 1995

Land $2,622,014 $2,774,392
Building and Improvements 5,449,418 4,744,102

valuation allowance - - - - - (469,000)

Investment property, net $7,485,543 $6,694,302




NOTE 4 - DUE FROM JOINT VENTURE

The receivable represents funds advanced to Capital Builders
Roseville Venture (Note 5) which earns interest at 8.24% at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately the same rate paid for
other borrowings. The receivable includes $58,699 of deferred
interest income included in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities at December 31, 1996. Interest income earned on the
note was $52,662, $115,684 and $78,425 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. The receivable
is unsecured and is due and payable on demand.

The Partnership's management is currently evaluating the effect
of converting all or a portion of the affiliate loan to equity in
the Joint Venture based on the Joint Venture's current market
value. This would increase the Partnership's current 40%
ownership in the Joint Venture, would decrease or eliminate the
affiliate loan, and would decrease or eliminate the 60% ownership
of its Joint Venture Partner, Capital Builders Development
Properties.

As discussed in Note 1, 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 Disclosures", effective January 1, 1995.

The note due from joint venture has been evaluated for
collectability under the provisions of this statement. Based on
management's analysis of the fair value of the underlying net
assets of the joint venture, no impairment loss is required to be
recognized.

in a joint venture with Capital Builders Development Property, an

loan on September 22, 1995. The loan's fixed interest rate is
8.95% and requires monthly principal and interest payments of
