                          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 1996 amounts  have been  reclassified  to
conform to the 1997 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.    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 40,343 for the three month periods ended
March  31,  1997  and  1996.  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 GROWTH FUND 1982


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

Results of Operations

        Phoenix Leasing Growth Fund 1982 (the  Partnership)  reported net income
of $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997,  compared to net income of
$111,000  during  the same  period  in  1996.  The  decrease  in net  income  is
attributable to a decline in earnings from joint ventures.

        The  decrease in total  revenues of $100,000  for the three months ended
March 31,  1997,  as  compared  to the same  period in 1996,  is the result of a
decline in all revenue items with equity in earnings from joint ventures causing
the most  significant of the decline in total revenues of $95,000.  The decrease
in  earnings  from  joint  ventures  will  be  further  discussed  under  "Joint
Ventures".

        Total expenses  decreased by $6,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to 1996 as a result of a decline in general and administrative
expenses.  General and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily of postage,
printing and insurance costs.

 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 $95,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same period in the previous year. Earnings
from joint  ventures were higher than usual for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
due to the  sale of a cable  system  at a gain  in one of the  foreclosed  cable
systems joint ventures. Such an event did not occur during 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The  Partnership  reported  net  cash  used  by  leasing  and  financing
activities of $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to net
cash provided by leasing and financing  activities of $7,000 for the same period
in 1996. The reduction in net cash generated by leasing and financing activities
for the three months ended March 31, 1997,  compared to 1996,  is a result of an
absence in rental income.  The Partnership's  remaining  equipment is being held
for lease.

        As of March 31, 1997,  the  Partnership  owned  equipment held for lease
with a  purchase  price of  $257,000  and a net book  value  of $0  compared  to
$719,000 and $0 at March 31, 1996. The General Partner is actively  engaged,  on
behalf of the  Partnership,  in remarketing and selling the  Partnership's  off-
lease equipment portfolio.

        Distributions  from joint  ventures  declined by $169,000  for the three
months  ended  March 31,  1997,  compared  to the same period in the prior year.
Distributions from joint ventures were higher than usual during 1996 as a result

of an increase in cash available for distributions  from the Partnership's  only
foreclosed  cable  system  joint  venture  as a result  of the sale of its cable
television system.

        The  limited  partners  received  cash  distributions  of  $403,000  and
$807,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. As
a  result,  the  cumulative  cash  distributions  to the  limited  partners  are
$38,870,000  and  $38,467,000 as of March 31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The
General Partner did not receive cash  distributions  for the periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1996. The distribution made on January 15, 1997 was made at a lower
rate than the 1996 distribution.

        The Partnership  will reach the end of its term on December 31, 1997, at
which time it will liquidate its remaining assets and make a final  distribution
to partners of the excess  cash,  if any.  The  Partnership  currently  does not
anticipate making any further  distribution to partners until the termination of
the Partnership.

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