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.

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.
Additional information about the individual properties follows:
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.

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.

See accompanying notes to the financial statements.
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:
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.
NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
The investment in joint venture represents a 40% equity interest in a joint venture with Capital Builders Development Property, an affiliated Partnership which has the same General Partner. The investment is accounted for on the equity method.
The balance sheets of the joint venture as of December 31, are as follows:
NOTE 6 - NOTE PAYABLE
A mini-permanent loan of $3,625,000 with interest at the bank's prime rate (8.75% at September 22, 1995) plus 1 1/2% was refinanced with a $5,000,000 mini-permanent fixed interest rate loan on September 22, 1995. The loan's fixed interest rate is 8.95% and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $41,789, which is sufficient to amortize the loan over 25 years. The loan is due October 1, 2002. The note is collateralized by a first deed of trust on Phase I land, building and improvements.
Scheduled principal payments during 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001, and thereafter are $62,866, $68,728, $75,138, $82,146, $89,807, and $4,549,757, respectively.
NOTE 7 - RECONCILIATION TO INCOME TAX METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
A reconciliation of the financial statement method of accounting to the Federal income tax method of accounting for the years ended December 31 are as follows:
NOTE 8 - LEASES
The Partnership leases its properties under long term noncancelable operating leases to various tenants. The facilities are leased through agreements for rents based on the square footage leased. Minimum annual base rental payments under these leases for the years ending December 31 are as follows:
1997 $619,802 1998 454,187 1999 253,715 2000 97,544 2001 39,950 Thereafter - 0 - Total $1,465,198 NOTE 9 - 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 and Due from joint venture The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity and or liquid nature 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 December 31 are as follows:
NOTE 10 - 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.
