                           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
Note 1.       General.

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
prepared by the  Partnership in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of Management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information  presented not misleading,  it is suggested that these condensed
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
the notes included in the Partnership's  Financial Statement,  as filed with the
SEC in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.

         Financial  Accounting  Pronouncements.  In March  1995,  the  Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed  of," which  requires that  long-lived  assets and certain
identifiable  intangibles  to be held  and used by an  entity  be  reviewed  for
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for
recoverability,  the entity  would  estimate  the future cash flows  expected to
result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows  (undiscounted  and without interest charges) is less
than the  carrying  amount  of the  asset,  an  impairment  loss is  recognized.
Measurement  of an  impairment  loss  for  long-lived  assets  and  identifiable
intangibles  that an entity  expects to hold and use should be based on the fair
value of the asset.  Statement No. 121 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Partnership  does not expect
the  adoption  of this  statement  to have a  material  impact on its  financial
position and results of operations. The Partnership plans to adopt Statement No.
121 on January 1, 1996.

         Non Cash Investing Activities.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1995,
the  Partnership  received a final  distribution of common stock from one of its
investments in equipment  joint  ventures.  The market value of the stock at the
distribution date was $2,000.

Note 2.       Reclassification.

         Reclassification  - Certain  1994  amounts  have been  reclassified  to
conform to the 1995 presentation.

Note 3.       Income Taxes.

         Federal  and state  income tax  regulations  provide  that taxes on the
income  or loss of the  Partnership  are  reportable  by the  partners  in their
individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for such taxes has been
made in the accompanying financial statements.

Note 4.      Notes Receivable.

         Impaired Notes Receivable.  On January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan",  and Statement No. 118,  "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income  Recognition and  Disclosures".  Statement No. 114
requires that certain  impaired  loans be measured based on the present value of
expected  cash flows  discounted  at the loan's  effective  interest  rate;  or,
alternatively, at the loan's observable  market price or the fair value  of  the


<PAGE>


                                                                    Page 6 of 13


collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Prior to 1995, the allowance for
losses on notes receivable was based on the undiscounted  cash flows or the fair
value of the collateral dependent loans.

         In  accordance  with  Statement  No.  114,  a  loan  is  classified  as
in-substance foreclosure when the Company has taken possession of the collateral
regardless  of  whether  formal   foreclosure   proceedings  take  place.  Notes
receivable  previously  classified as in-substance  foreclosed cable systems but
for which the  Company  had not taken  possession  of the  collateral  have been
reclassified to notes receivable.

         Generally,  notes receivable are classified as impaired and the accrual
of  interest  on such notes are  discontinued  when the  contractual  payment of
principal  or  interest  has become 90 days past due or  management  has serious
doubts about further  collectibility of the contractual  payments.  Any payments
received  subsequent  to the  placement  of the note  receivable  on to impaired
status will generally be applied towards the reduction of the  outstanding  note
receivable  balance,  which may include  previously  accrued interest as well as
principal.  Once the principal and accrued  interest balance has been reduced to
zero, the remaining payments will be applied to interest income.

         During the quarter  ended June 30,  1995,  the  Partnership  received a
settlement  on its one  remaining  note  receivable  which was  considered to be
impaired under  Statement No. 114. The average  recorded  investment in impaired
loans during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was approximately $97,000.
The  Partnership  received  $370,000 as a settlement for this note receivable of
which $289,000 was applied towards the outstanding  note receivable  balance and
the remaining $81,000 applied to interest income. There was no related allowance
for this note receivable. The remaining general allowance balance of $28,000 was
no longer necessary due to the payment of this note receivable. As a result, the
remaining  allowance for loan losses was reduced to zero through the recognition
of income.

         The activity in the allowance for losses on notes receivable during the
nine months ended September 30, is as follows:

                                                1995         1994

Note 5.       Net Income (Loss) and Distributions per Limited Partnership Unit.

         Net income and distributions per limited partnership unit were based on
the limited  partners' share of net income and  distributions,  and the weighted
average  number of units  outstanding of 26,041 for the nine month periods ended
September  30, 1995 and 1994.  For  purposes  of  allocating  income  (loss) and
distributions to each individual limited partner, the Partnership  allocates net
income (loss) and  distributions  based upon each respective  limited  partner's
ending capital account balance.  The use of this method accurately reflects each
limited  partner's  participation  in  the  partnership  including  reinvestment
through the Capital Accumulation Plan. As a result the calculation of net income
(loss) and distributions  per limited  partnership unit is not indicative of per
unit income (loss) and  distributions  due to reinvestments  through the Capital
Accumulation Plan.

                        PHOENIX LEASING INCOME FUND 1980

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

Results of Operations

     Phoenix Leasing Income Fund 1980 (the  Partnership)  reported net income of
$22,000 and $170,000  during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
respectively, as compared to net income of $35,000 and $30,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively.

     The decrease in earnings for the three months ended  September 30, 1995, as
compared to the same  period in 1994,  is  attributable  to an absence of rental
income  in 1995.  The  absence  of rental  income  for the  three  months  ended
September  30, 1995 is a result of the  Partnership  having  sold its  remaining
equipment during the second quarter of 1995.

     The  improvement in earnings for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995,
compared to the same period in 1994,  is primarily  the result of an increase in
interest income from notes receivable, a decrease in depreciation expense and an
increase in earnings  from joint  ventures.  The  Partnership  also  reported an
increased gain on the sale of equipment.

     Total revenues decreased by $29,000 during the three months ended September
30, 1995, as compared to the same period in 1994. This decrease in revenues is a
result of the sale of the Partnerships's  remaining  equipment  portfolio during
the second  quarter of 1995.  The $43,000  decrease in rental  income due to the
sale of the Partnership's  remaining equipment portfolio was partially offset by
an increase in earnings from joint  ventures of $14,000  during the three months
ended September 30, 1995.

     Total  revenues  increased by $112,000 for the nine months ended  September
30, 1995,  as compared to the same period in 1994.  During the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, the  Partnership  experienced  increases in all income items
except for rental income. The largest increase came from the $76,000 increase in
interest  income from notes  receivable and a $43,000  increase in earnings from
joint ventures.  The increase in interest income from notes receivable came from
the payoff of a note receivable from a cable  television  operator that had been
in default.

     The  Partnership is in its  liquidation  stage and does not plan to acquire
additional  equipment.  As a result,  revenues from equipment leasing activities
has  declined as the  portfolio  is  liquidated.  At  September  30,  1995,  the
Partnership owned equipment with an aggregate original cost of $0 and a net book
value of $0, as compared to the  $534,000 of equipment  owned at  September  30,
1994 with a net book value of $27,000.

     The  decrease in  depreciation  expense of $8,000 and $47,000 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively,  as compared to the same
periods in 1994, is a result of the sale of the remaining  equipment  during the
second quarter of 1995. The  Partnership  reported a gain on sale of $30,000 for
the sale of its remaining  equipment  during the nine months ended September 30,
1995.

     Total  expenses  decreased by $16,000 and $28,000 during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, when compared to the same periods
in 1994. The decrease in total  expenses  during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation  expense, as
discussed  above.  Management  fees  increased  during  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995, due to the payoff of an outstanding note receivable.

                                                                   Page 10 of 13


Joint Ventures

     The  Partnership  has made  investments in various  equipment and financing
joint ventures along with other  affiliated  partnership  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  equipment  joint  ventures  increased by $15,000 and $25,000
during the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1995,  respectively,  when
compared to the same periods in 1994.  The primary  factor  contributing  to the
increase in earnings  during both periods was the earnings  from a new equipment
joint venture that was formed upon the receipt of a legal  settlement in October
of 1994. As a result,  there were no comparable earnings from this joint venture
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994.

     Earnings from financing  joint  ventures  decreased by $1,000 for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1995 but  increased by $18,000 for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1995, as compared to the same periods in 1994. The increase
in earnings from financing  joint  ventures for the nine months ended  September
30, 1995 is a result of an increase in interest  income in one of the  financing
joint ventures. This increase in interest income was attributable to an increase
in cash  receipts  in this  joint  venture.  This joint  venture  uses the asset
recovery method of accounting for its troubled notes receivable and is currently
classifying all payments as interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Partnership  reported  net cash  provided  by  leasing  and  financing
activities of $320,000 and $107,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively.  The improvement is attributable to the payoff of a note
receivable from a cable television system operator that was in default.

     Distributions  from joint ventures for the nine months ended  September 30,
1995 were $120,000 as compared to $78,000 during the same period in 1994.  These
distributions  reflected  an  increase in  distributions  from  equipment  joint
ventures.   The  increased   distributions  from  equipment  joint  ventures  is
attributable  to  distributions  received  from a new  joint  venture  formed in
October of 1994.

     The Limited Partners received  $260,000 in cash  distributions for both the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. As a result,  the cumulative cash
distributions  to the Limited  Partners are  $30,281,000  and  $30,021,000 as of
September 30, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The General Partner did not receive
cash distributions  during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 but
did  receive  payment of  liquidation  fees of $28,000  for both the nine months
ended  September 30, 1995 and 1994. Due to the decrease in the cash generated by
leasing  operations,   the  Partnership  is  no  longer  making  quarterly  cash
distributions  to Partners.  The  Partnership  made its annual  distribution  in
January 1995 at the same rate as those made in January 1994.

     The  Partnership  will reach the end of its term on December 31, 1995. As a
result,  a public  auction was held on October  26,  1995 to sell the  remaining
assets of the  Partnership.  The  highest  bid for the assets was  submitted  by
Phoenix Leasing Incorporated, a subsididary of Phoenix Leasing Incorporated, the
General Partner. These assets were sold for a total of $88,749 cash. The sale of
the  assets  will  close on  November  15,  1995.  Once  the  assets  have  been
liquidated, the Partnership will make a final distribution to the partners.

     Cash  generated  from  leasing  and  financing  operations  has been and is
anticipated  to  continue to be  sufficient  to meet the  Partnership's  ongoing
operational expenses.
