     This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Concord Milestone
Plus, L.P. (the "Partnership") on May 10, 2005, as amended by the Amendment No.
1 to the Schedule 14D-9 filed on May 19, 2005, in response to the offer by
Sutter Opportunity Fund 3, LLC, Sutter Opportunity Fund 3 (TE), LLC, SCM-CMP
Acquisition Fund, LLC, MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, Inc., Robert E. Dixon and
C.E. Patterson (the "Purchasers") in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO
(the "Tender Offer") filed on April 27, 2005 to purchase any and/or all of the
outstanding Equity Units, each of which consists of one Class A Interest and one
Class B Interest, for a purchase price of $2.50 per Equity Unit.

ITEM 4. THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION.

     Item 4(b) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

     (b)  Reasons.

     The Partnership and the General Partner are indifferent as to whether the
holders of the Class A Interests and Class B Interests accept or reject the
Tender Offer. Based on available information, for the following reasons neither
the Partnership nor the General Partner is in a position to recommend that the
holders of the Class A and Class B Interests accept or reject the Tender Offer:

     o    Even though the Partnership and the General Partner believe that the
          $2.50 per Equity Unit price being offered by the Purchasers is lower
          than the amount that the holders of the Class A and Class B Interests
          would receive upon a sale of all of the Partnership's assets and a
          liquidation of the Partnership, such price is above the range of
          prices that Equity Units have traded for during the past 12 months and
          there is no assurance how much money the holder of an Equity Unit will
          realize in the future from the sale, financing or operation of the
          Partnership's assets, or when any such amounts would be realized and
          distributed by the Partnership. Thus, an interest holder seeking to
          sell its Class A and Class B Interests soon might find it more
          desirable to sell to the Purchasers pursuant to the Tender Offer than
          to sell such interests through other means.

     o    Although for the reasons discussed below the Partnership and the
          General Partner do not agree with the methodology used by the
          Purchasers to determine the net asset value per Equity Unit, they do
          not have reliable information available to determine such value.
          Neither the General Partner nor the Partnership has any current
          appraisals of the Partnership's assets and the General Partner has no
          intention of using Partnership funds to obtain appraisals or other
          expert opinions as to the current valuation of the Partnership's
          assets.

     o    The Partnership has no prior relationship with or knowledge of the
          Purchasers and, therefore, it has no basis on which to assess whether
          the Purchasers would, if they do ultimately acquire a substantial
          percentage of the outstanding Class A Interests and Class B Interests,
          exercise their voting rights in a manner which will be beneficial or
          harmful to the Partnership.

     In making a decision whether to sell to the Purchasers, interest holders
should consider the



information set forth below.

     The Purchasers are offering $2.50 for each Equity Unit. The Purchasers have
disclosed to the holders of interests in the Partnership that the Purchasers
have estimated the per-unit net asset value, or liquidation value, of the
Partnership to be $4.18 per Equity Unit based on various assumptions made by the
Purchasers as to the value of the Partnership's assets. Neither the General
Partner nor the Partnership has any current appraisals of the Partnership's
assets and the General Partner has no intention of using Partnership funds to
obtain appraisals or other expert opinions as to the current valuation of the
Partnership's assets. The General Partner has examined the methodology employed
by the Purchaser in its determination of net asset value of each Equity Unit.
The General Partner believes such methodology to be deficient inasmuch as
non-property related operating expenses of the Partnership were used to arrive
at the value of the properties. Such non-property operating expenses amounted to
$194,531 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The General Partner renders no
opinion as to the other assumptions employed by the Purchasers. The actual
per-unit net asset value of the Partnership at any time depends on a number of
factors, including what a third party would actually be willing to pay for the
Partnership's assets at such time, and what costs would be incurred by the
Partnership in connection with any such sale. The General Partner and the
Partnership agree with the Purchasers' conclusion that the current net asset
value per Equity Unit exceeds the $2.50 currently being offered by the
Purchasers for the Equity Units.

     In the Tender Offer, the Purchasers stated that the Equity Units traded at
$1.15 per Equity Unit during January and February 2005. The General Partner and
the Partnership note that there have been 12 trades involving 9,190 Equity Units
since December 31, 2004, ranging between $0.75 per Equity Unit and $1.65 per
Equity Unity.

     On March 29, 2005, the Partnership received an unsolicited letter from a
third party expressing such party's interest in purchasing the Green Valley
Property. The Partnership has engaged only in preliminary discussions with such
party and it is too early to predict whether such discussions will result in a
transaction with such party and what the terms of any such transaction would be.
Such discussions have included clarifying to the third party that the size of
the Green Valley Property is less than what such party originally assumed in its
original letter. If the Green Valley Property were to be sold for a price at or
near the amount mentioned in such party's letter, the Partnership believes that
the net asset value of the Partnership would be substantially in excess of $4.18
per Equity Unit. However, there is no assurance that any such discussions would
result in a contract for sale, or that a sale of the Green Valley Property would
be consummated or how much the Partnership would actually realize in the event
that the Green Valley Property is sold.

     There is no assurance how much money on a per Equity Unit basis the
Partnership would realize in the future from the sale, financing or operation of
the Partnership's assets, or when any such amounts would be realized and
distributed to the holders of interests in the Partnership. Accordingly, some
interest holders may find it attractive to sell their Equity Units to the
Purchasers at the offered price and obtain immediate liquidity, while others may
prefer to continue to hold their interests in the Partnership in the hopes of
realizing a greater return at some indefinite time in the future.


                                       2


     The General Partner has resolved to make a cash distribution equal to
$0.0326 per Class A Interest to be paid on or about May 31, 2005. Pursuant to
the terms of the Tender Offer, the $2.50 per Equity Unit offered by the
Purchasers will be reduced by the amount of such distribution.

     If any person or group controlled a majority of the outstanding Class A
Interests and a majority of the outstanding Class B Interests (interests owned
by the General Partner and certain affiliates of the General Partner who are not
individuals are not deemed outstanding for this purpose), such person or group
would be able to direct the vote of a majority in interest of the Limited
Partners of the Partnership. Under Section 11.2 of the Partnership Agreement, a
majority in interest of the Limited Partners may do any of the following without
the concurrence of the General Partner:

     -    amend the Partnership Agreement (except that no such amendment shall
          (x) be effective to change the obligations or rights of any partner or
          interest holder as to capital, allocations or distributions without
          such partner's or interest holder's consent (other than certain
          modifications which the General Partner determines are prudent to
          comply with federal income tax regulations), (y) in any manner allow
          Limited Partners or interest holders to take part in the control of
          the Partnership's business, or (z) alter certain rights, powers,
          duties or interests of the General Partner without the General
          Partner's consent);

     -    dissolve the Partnership;

     -    remove the General Partner and elect a replacement therefor; and

     -    approve or disapprove the sale of all or substantially all of the
          assets of the Partnership.

In addition, a majority in interest of the Limited Partners may, under other
provisions of the Partnership Agreement, grant or deny consent to the General
Partner to designate one or more persons to be an additional general partner,
and appoint a new General Partner in the event of the withdrawal of a General
Partner in violation of the Partnership Agreement.

     If one person or group were to acquire a majority of the Class A Interests
and a majority of the Class B Interests, the holders of the minority of Class A
Interests and Class B Interests that remain outstanding and not held by such
person or group would continue to have the same economic and other rights as
before, however, they would not have the voting power to block any of the
actions which could be taken by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners
as described above.

     The Partnership has no prior relationship with or knowledge of the
Purchasers and, therefore, it has no basis on which to assess whether the
Purchasers would, if they do ultimately acquire a majority of the outstanding
Class A Interests and Class B Interests, exercise their voting rights in a
manner which will be beneficial or harmful to the Partnership.
