LEASING MARGIN, continued

All  components of leasing margin  increased due to growth in the  Partnership's
lease portfolio.  As the lease portfolio  increases in size, it is expected that
the  leasing  margin  ratio  will also  vary due to  changes  in the  portfolio,
including, among other things, the mix of operating leases versus direct finance
leases,  the average  maturity of leases  comprising the portfolio,  the average
residual  value of leases in the portfolio,  and the amount of discounted  lease
rentals financing the portfolio.

The  ultimate   profitability  of  the  Partnership's  leasing  transactions  is
dependent in part on interest  rates at the time the leases are  originated,  as
well as future  equipment values and on-going lessee  creditworthiness.  Because
leasing is an alternative  to financing  equipment  purchases  with debt,  lease
rates tend to rise and fall with interest rates  (although  lease rate movements
generally lag interest rate changes in the capital markets).

EQUIPMENT SALES MARGIN

Equipment sales margin consists of the following:

INTEREST INCOME

Interest  income  increased  due to an increase  in invested  cash from sales of
Class A limited partnership units pending the Partnership's  initial acquisition
of equipment.

EXPENSES

Management   fees,   direct  services  from  general  partner  and  general  and
administrative  expenses  increased  due to  growth in the  Partnership's  lease
portfolio.

unit for sale to investors.  The Partnership reached its limit of $50 million in
unit sales on February 9, 1998.

A summary of the  Partnership's  offering  activities  from the  commencement of
operations to March 31, 1998 is presented below:

The Partnership funds its operating activities principally with cash from rents,
discounted  lease  rentals  (non-recourse  debt),  interest  income and sales of
off-lease  equipment.  Available cash and cash reserves of the  Partnership  are
invested  in  short-term   government  securities  pending  the  acquisition  of
equipment or distribution to the partners.

- -----------------------------

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership acquired equipment
subject to leases with a total purchase price of $10,201,326 (including $434,310
of discounted  lease  rentals).  As of March 31, 1998,  the general  partner had
identified approximately $3.4 million of additional equipment that satisfied the
Partnership's  acquisition  criteria  and is expected to be acquired  during the
remainder of 1998.

During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,  the  Partnership  declared
distributions to the Class A limited  partners of $1,274,077  ($488,864 of which
was paid during  April  1998).  A portion of such  distributions  is expected to
constitute  a return of capital.  Distributions  may be  characterized  for tax,
accounting and economic purposes as a return of capital,  a return on capital or
a portion of both. The portion of each cash  distribution by a partnership which
exceeds  its net income for the fiscal  period may be deemed a return of capital
for accounting purposes. However, the total percentage of a partnership's return
on capital over its life will only be  determined  after all residual cash flows
(which include  proceeds from the  re-leasing  and sale of equipment)  have been
realized at the termination of the Partnership. For the three months ended March
31, 1998,  approximately 58% of the cash  distributions  paid to the partners of
the Partnership  constituted a return of capital for accounting  purposes.  This
percentage  may  not be  reflective  of the  percentage  of  distributions  that
constitutes a return of capital at any subsequent point in time.

The general partner believes that the Partnership will generate  sufficient cash
flows  from  operations  during  the  remainder  of 1998,  to (1)  meet  current
operating  requirements,  (2) fund  cash  distributions  to both the Class A and
Class B limited  partners at  annualized  rates of 10.5%  (portions of which are
expected to  constitute  returns of  capital),  and (3)  reinvest in  additional
equipment under leases,  provided that suitable  equipment can be identified and
acquired.
