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.
Note 2. Reclassification.
Reclassification - Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 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. At June 30, 1996, the recorded investment
in notes that are considered to be impaired under Statement No. 114 is $11,000
for which there is no allowance. The average recorded investment in impaired
loans during the six months ended June 30, 1996 was approximately $11,000.
Note 5. Net Income (Loss) and Distributions per Limited Partnership Unit.
Net income and distributions per limited partnership unit were based
on the limited partner's share of net income and distributions, and the weighted
average number of units outstanding of 18,762 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995. 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 1981
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Results of Operations
The Partnership reported net income of $67,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to net income of $235,000 for the same period
in the preceding year. During the six months ended June 30, 1996 the Partnership
reported net income of $22,000, as compared to net income of $203,000 during the
same period in 1995. The decrease in net income during both periods in 1996, as
compared to 1995, is attributable to a decrease in total revenues.
Total revenues decreased by $173,000 and $176,000 during the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the same periods in
the prior year. A majority of the decrease in total revenues is a decline of
$129,000 in interest income earned from notes receivable. During the quarter
ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership received a settlement payment on a
defaulted note receivable from a cable television system operator. The amount of
the settlement that exceeded the net carrying value of this note was recognized
as interest income.
In addition to the decrease in interest income, the Partnership also
experienced a small decrease in rental income of $27,000 and $29,000 during the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the same
periods in 1995. The reduction in rental income is reflective of a decrease in
the size of the equipment portfolio as a result of the ongoing liquidation of
equipment. Because the Partnership is in its liquidation stage, it is not
expected to acquire any additional equipment. As a result, rental revenues are
expected to continue 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 of $553,000 compared to $624,000
at June 30, 1995.
Total expenses decreased by $5,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1996 but increased $5,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to
the same periods in 1995. The increase is primarily attributable to an
adjustment to the provision for losses on receivables of $53,000 made during
1995. This downward adjustment to the provision for losses on receivables, which
resulted in the recognition of income, was made upon the settlement of a
defaulted note receivable during the second quarter of 1995, as previously
discussed. Most other expense items decreased during the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995.
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
released at lower rental rates and eventually liquidated.
The earnings from joint ventures decreased by $8,000 and $4,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995,
due to a decrease in rental revenues. The joint ventures also reported decreases
in expenses, however the decrease in revenues exceeded the decrease in expenses.
<PAGE>
Page 9 of 11
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership reported net cash used by equipment leasing and
financing operations of $45,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996, as
compared to net cash provided by equipment leasing and financing operations of
$560,000 during the same period in 1995. During the six months ended June 30,
1995 the Partnership received a settlement of a defaulted note receivable,
causing a large increase in the cash generated by equipment leasing and
financing operations.
Distributions from joint ventures decreased by $25,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 1996, due to a decrease in revenues reported by these
joint ventures. This decrease was offset by an increase of $24,000 in proceeds
from the sale of marketable securities. The proceeds from the sale of marketable
securities was attributable to the sale of a portion of the Partnership's
investment in Storage Technology common stock.
As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership owned equipment being held for
lease with a purchase price of $16,000 and a net book value of $0, compared to
$75,000 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 distributions of $563,000 and $563,000
for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As a result, the
cumulative distributions to the Limited Partners are $20,661,000 and $19,539,000
as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The General Partner received cash
distributions of $11,000 and $0 during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995. The General Partner also received payment of certain management and
liquidation fees.
As the Partnership's asset portfolio continues to decline as a result
of the ongoing liquidation of assets, it is expected that the cash generated
from operations will also decline. Due to the decrease in cash generated by
leasing and financing activities, distributions are being made annually. The
January 1996 annual distribution was made at approximately the same rate as the
January 1995 distribution. The Partnership will reach the end of its term on
December 31, 1996 and is therefore currently in the process of liquidating its
remaining assets and liabilities. Upon termination, the Partnership will make a
final distribution to partners of any remaining cash.
The Partnership's term will expire on December 31, 1996. As a result,
the General Partner is currently in the process of liquidating the remaining
assets. The General Partner is in the process of evaluating the remaining assets
of the Partnership in order to liquidate them through public auction. Once the
assets have been liquidated, the Partnership will make a final distribution to
the partners. The General Partner plans to complete the liquidation of the
Partnership by December 31, 1996.
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.
