Note 2. Reclassification.
Reclassification - Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 presentation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
Phoenix Leasing Income Fund 1977 (the Partnership) reported a net loss of
$51,000 and $66,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as
compared to net income of $110,000 and $106,000 during the same period in 1995.
The decreased earnings during 1996 is attributable to the decrease in total
revenues.
Total revenues decreased by $138,000 and $147,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995. During the
three months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership received a payment for the
settlement of an outstanding note receivable from a cable television system
operator that had been in default and the Partnership had suspended the accrual
of interest income. The amount received in excess of the net carrying value of
the note has been recognized as interest income. There were no such payments
during 1996.
Rental income decreased during the three and six months ended June 30,
1996, primarily as a result of the majority of the remaining equipment lease
portfolio being off lease. Because the Partnership is in its liquidation stage,
it is not expected that the Partnership will acquire additional equipment. As a
result, revenues from equipment leasing activities are expected to decline as
the portfolio is liquidated and the remaining equipment is re-leased at lower
rental rates. At June 30, 1996, the Partnership owned equipment with an
aggregate original cost, excluding the Partnership's pro rata interest in joint
ventures, of $47,000, as compared to $112,000 at June 30, 1995.
Total expenses increased by $23,000 and $25,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1995.
The increase is due to an increase in legal expense, which is primarily the
result of an outstanding note receivable from a cable television system operator
that is in default. There was an overall decrease in all other expense
categories, with the largest decrease being the decrease in depreciation
expense. The decrease in depreciation expense for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996, is due to the equipment portfolio having been fully depreciated.
Joint Ventures
The Partnership has made investments in various equipment and financing
joint ventures along with other affiliated partnerships managed by the General
Partner for the purpose of spreading the risk of investing in certain equipment
leasing and financing transactions. These joint ventures are not currently
making any significant additional investments in new equipment leasing or
financing transactions. As a result, the earnings and cash flow from such
investments are anticipated to continue to decline as the portfolios are
re-leased at lower rental rates and eventually liquidated. Earnings from joint
ventures decreased by $1,000 and $2,000 during the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995.
<PAGE>
Page 9 of 11
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary source of liquidity comes from rental and note
receipts. The Partnership has contractual obligations from lessees and borrowers
for fixed terms at stated amounts. The Partnership also has investments in
equipment leasing and financing joint ventures in which it receives a share of
the profits. The future liquidity of the Partnership will depend upon the
General Partner's success in collecting contractual amounts owed.
The Partnership reported net cash used by leasing and financing activities
of $35,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the net cash
provided by leasing and financing activities of $466,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995. This decrease is due to the majority of the Partnership's
assets having been liquidated. The cash flow was higher during 1995 due to the
payoff of a note receivable from a cable television system operator that had
been in default. At June 30, 1996, the Partnership has one remaining note
receivable from a cable television system operator that is in default and is not
currently providing any cash flows to the Partnership.
Distributions from joint ventures declined for the six months ended June
30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. Distributions from joint
ventures consisted primarily of cash received from the Partnership's investments
in equipment joint ventures during both years.
As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership owned equipment held for lease
with a purchase price of $31,000 and a net book value of $0, compared to $47,000
and $0, respectively, at June 30, 1995. The General Partner is actively engaged,
on behalf of the Partnership, in remarketing and selling the Partnership's
off-lease equipment portfolio.
The Limited Partners received $164,000 and $165,000 in cash distributions
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As a result,
the cumulative cash distributions to the Limited Partners are $28,604,000 and
$28,121,000 as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The General Partner did
not receive cash distributions, but did receive payment of liquidation fees
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. Due to the decrease in the
cash generated by leasing operations, the Partnership is no longer making
quarterly cash distributions to Partners. Distributions are now being made on an
annual basis with the annual distribution date being January 15.
Cash generated from leasing and financing operations has been and is
anticipated to continue to be sufficient to meet the Partnership's on-going
operational expenses.
