Part I
Item 1. Business.
Wellesley Lease Income Limited Partnership A (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership organized under the provisions of the Massachusetts Uniform Limited
Partnership Act on May 6, 1983. As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership
consisted of a General Partner and 897 Limited Partners owning 15,050 Units of
Limited Partnership Interests of $500 each (the "Units"), except that employees
of the Corporate General Partners of the General Partner and employees and
securities representatives of its affiliates purchased Units for a net price of
$460 per Unit, and the Partnership incurred no obligation to pay any sales
commissions with respect to such sales. The Units were sold commencing September
2, 1983, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities
Act of 1933. As set forth more fully at Item 10. Directors and Executive
Officers of the Partnership. of this Report, the General Partner is Wellesley
Leasing Partnership, and the General Partner has two Corporate General Partners
(the "Corporate General Partners"): TLP Leasing Programs, Inc. ("TLP") and CIS
Management Services Corporation ("CISMS"), both Massachusetts corporations.
The Partnership was organized to engage in the business of acquiring
income-producing computer peripheral equipment for investment purposes,
principally International Business Machines, Incorporated ("IBM") equipment. The
Partnership's principal objectives are as follows:
1. To acquire and lease equipment, primarily through operating leases, to
generate income during its entire useful life;
2. To provide quarterly distributions of cash to the Limited Partners from
leasing revenues and from the proceeds of sales or other disposition of
Partnership equipment; and
3. To reinvest a portion of lease revenues and a substantial portion of cash
from sales and refinancings in additional equipment during the first nine
years of the Partnership's operations.
The Partnership was formed primarily for investment purposes and not as a "tax
shelter".
The closing date of the Partnership was October 31, 1983, and aggregate
equipment purchased through December 31, 1995, is $22,405,518. At the end of
1995, there are 10 leases in place with 8 lessees. The acquisition of these
leases and equipment is described more fully in Item 2. Properties. of this
report and notes 3 and 4 to the financial statements included in Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
On January 9, 1996, TLP Holding LLC purchased all the common stock of TLP from
CMI Holding Co. Under the new ownership, TLP will continue to operate in the
same manner of business as described below.
Under the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner, Wellesley Leasing
Partnership, is solely responsible for the operation of the Partnership and its
equipment. As discussed above, the General Partner has two Corporate General
Partners: TLP and CISMS. TLP was formed in December 1982 and is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CMI Holding Co. ("Holding"), the capital stock of which was
acquired in August 1987 by Continental Information Systems Corporation ("CISC"),
in Syracuse, New York (a New York Stock Exchange-listed corporation). Through
this acquisition, CISC became the ultimate parent of TLP and CISMS. On July 20,
1993, Holding became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIS pursuant to a court
ordered settlement (see note 7 to the financial statements included in Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data). While Holding and its subsidiaries
have retained their separate corporate identities since the acquisition, their
operations (except those of TLP and the limited partnerships it manages) have
been effectively integrated into those of CIS Corporation ("CIS") and its
affiliates. These operations include buying, selling, financing, leasing and
sub-leasing new and used computer equipment, and their services include
securing, financing, collecting rentals and supervising equipment maintenance
and service. CISMS was formed in May 1983, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
CMI Corporation ("CMI"), which is another wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding and
an affiliate of TLP. CMI is engaged in equipment leasing, primarily involving
computer equipment and aircraft.
The General Partnership Agreement between TLP and CISMS (the "General
Partnership Agreement"), provides that CISMS will propose to the Partnership
equipment acquisitions, leasing, financing and re-financing transactions, and
sale transactions, for approval by the Executive Committee, and will oversee the
operation, management and use of the Partnership's equipment, and that TLP will
oversee the marketing of the Units and all administrative functions of the
Partnership and will supply substantially all of the General Partner's capital
resources. All of the Partnership's equipment to date has been acquired, and all
dispositions of Partnership equipment have been made, through CISMS, using the
personnel and resources of CMI, another Continental affiliate, both of which
emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on
December 21, 1994, and several outside equipment leasing brokers the General
Partner believes would be most advantageous for the Partnership; see note 8 of
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. of this report.
The Partnership's investment policy provides for the acquisition of diversified
types of computer equipment and the leasing of such equipment to others on a
short-term basis under operating leases. The Partnership generally purchases
equipment for which a lease exists, or is entered into at the time of the
Partnership's acquisition of the equipment. This equipment is recorded and
depreciated at the Partnership cost (purchase price plus the acquisition fee).
If at any time the General Partner deems the equipment to be obsolete or related
maintenance and storage costs to be in excess of its fair market value, the
equipment is scrapped or sold at the current fair market value, which ever is
most advantageous for the Partnership.
Pursuant to its leasing policies, the General Partner performs a credit analysis
of potential lessees to determine their creditworthiness. The General Partner
leases all of its equipment to third parties by means of operating leases with
fixed base lease rates. Rents are payable monthly or quarterly. Operating leases
generally do not have terms greater than five years in duration and the
aggregate noncancelable rental payments during the term of the lease (on a net
present value basis) are not sufficient to permit the lessor to recover the
purchase price of the equipment.
At the termination of the lease, the General Partner arranges for the equipment
to be re-leased (either to the same lessee or a new lessee) if it determines
that re-leasing is in the Partnership's best interests. Generally, equipment is
re-leased at least once and possibly several times during the Partnership's
life, unless it is determined that the equipment is not marketable and therefore
may be sold. The General Partner provides, or arranges for the installation,
removal, maintenance and modification of the Partnership's equipment. Also, the
General Partner will purchase and maintain, or cause to be purchased and
maintained, appropriate insurance coverage to protect the interests of the
Partnership.
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership owns computer peripherals with an original
cost basis of $509,398. Of the leases in place at December 31, 1995, the average
lease term is 27 months and the average monthly lease rate as a percentage of
original equipment cost is 2.73%.
The Partnership's investments in computer peripheral equipment are and will
continue to be subject to various risk factors. The principal business risk
associated with ownership of the equipment is the inability to keep it fully
leased at rentals which, after payment of operating expenses and debt service on
Partnership borrowings, provide, together with any anticipated sales proceeds or
salvage value, an acceptable rate of return. Other risk factors include:
1. Technological and economic equipment obsolescence, physical
deterioration, malfunction and risks attendant upon defaults by
lessees and credit losses.
2. Residual Values of Equipment. The Partnership's return on its
investment in equipment will depend in part upon the continuing value
of such equipment which in turn, depends upon, among other things: (1)
the quality of the equipment; (2) the condition of the equipment; (3)
the timing of the equipment's acquisition; (4) the cost of comparable
new equipment; (5) the technological obsolescence of the equipment; (6)
the General Partner's ability to forecast technological changes which
may reduce the value of the equipment; and (7) market factors.
3. Competition from Full Payout Lessors. In connection with operating
leases, the Partnership will encounter considerable competition from
those offering full payout leases, which are written for a longer term
and a lower rate than the Partnership's operating leases.
4. Competition from Manufacturers. Leases offered by the Partnership will
compete with operating leases and full payout leases offered by
equipment manufacturers in their own lease programs. In addition to
attractive financial terms, manufacturers may also provide certain
ancillary services which the Partnership cannot offer directly, such as
maintenance service (including possible equipment substitution rights),
warranty services and trade-in privileges.
5. Other Competition. There are numerous other potential investors,
including limited partnerships organized and managed similarly to the
Partnership, seeking to purchase equipment subject to either operating
leases or full payout leases, many of which will have greater financial
resources than the Partnership and more experience than the General
Partner. The Partnership will compete in the computer leasing
marketplace with many non-manufacturing firms, including other
equipment dealers, brokers and leasing companies, as well as with
financial institutions.
6. Changes in Marketing Policies. IBM's current marketing policy of
offering accrual discounts (i.e., applying lease payments as a
credit towards the purchase of equipment) and volume discounts enables
certain customers to obtain IBM equipment at a cost lower than its fair
market value. In the case of accrual discounts, lessees of IBM
equipment who have earned a purchase credit toward that equipment can
purchase the equipment from IBM and arrange a cost-effective sale and
leaseback arrangement with CMI or the Partnership. The sale price to
the Partnership will typically be less than the fair market value of
the equipment. The Partnership may be able to participate in volume
discounts through purchases arranged by lessees of CMI. The
Partnership's lower equipment costs in turn should enable the
Partnership to offer lower lease rates to customers and help offset the
risk of early obsolescence. If IBM were to eliminate these policies,
raise its prices, lower its lease rates, or become more active as a
lessor, the Partnership might find it more difficult to compete
successfully as a lessor of IBM equipment.
7. Defaults by Lessees. Default by a lessee may cause equipment to be
returned to the Partnership at a time when the General Partner may
be unable to promptly arrange for its re-leasing (at the rental
rate previously received or otherwise) or sale (with or without a
loss), thus resulting in the loss of anticipated revenues and the
inability to recover the Partnership's investment and repay related
debt. Any related debt may be secured by the returned equipment and,
in some cases, by the Partnership's other equipment. If the debt is
not paid in a timely manner, the lender may foreclose and assume
ownership of all equipment securing the debt, resulting in economic
loss and adverse tax consequences to the Partnership's partners. Four
lessees, Apprise Corporation, Hughes Aircraft Company, Incorporated,
Maryland Casualty Insurance, Incorporated and Nissan Motor Corporation,
lease equipment in which the related payments exceed 10% of total
rental income. The related rental payments comprise 19.31%, 14.99%,
18.38% and 33.59%, respectively, of the total rental income for the
year ended December 31, 1995. Apprise Corporation, Hughes Aircraft
Company, Incorporated, Maryland Casualty Insurance, Incorporated and
Nissan Motor Corporation lease equipment comprising 21.03%, 15.27%,
9.33% and 38.84%, respectively, of the total equipment portfolio at
December 31, 1995.
8. Changes in Technology. The General Partner intends to offer lease rates
to the Partnership's lessees which take into account the risk of
technological advances which may reduce the value of such equipment
owned by the Partnership. However, the introduction of an entirely new
technology could lead to a radical reduction in the fair market value
of certain equipment and make such equipment difficult to re-lease.
The Partnership considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment, the
business of investing primarily in IBM computer peripheral equipment and leasing
the equipment to major national corporations on an operating lease basis, and,
therefore, industry segment information has not been provided.
For information regarding the settlements between the Partnership and the
Liquidating Estate of CIS Corporation, et al, arising out of the emergence from
bankruptcy of CIS and CMI, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the General Partner announced its intentions
of winding down the operations of the Partnership beginning in 1994. The General
Partner reevaluated its decision to close the Partnership in 1995 based on the
Partnership's forecasted cash flows for 1995 and 1996. The General Partner has
revised its intentions and currently expects to wind down the operations of the
Partnership in 1996. It is anticipated that substantially all of the assets will
be liquidated and the proceeds will be used to settle all outstanding
liabilities and to make a final distribution. The Partnership will not be
terminated until the net unsecured pre-petition claim against CIS has been
settled and the remaining proceeds have been distributed to the Partners.

Item 2. Properties.
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership owned computer equipment with a cost basis
of $509,398, subject to 10 existing leases with 8 different lessees. All
purchases of computer equipment are subject to a 3% acquisition fee paid to the
General Partner.
<PAGE>
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
There are no material pending legal proceedings that the Partnership is a party
or of which any of its equipment or leases is the subject, except as described
below and in note 8 to the financial statements herein in Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data.
On January 13, 1989 (the "Petition Date"), Continental Information Systems
Corporation ("Continental"), CIS Corporation ("CIS"), CMI Holding Co.
("Holding"), CMI Corporation ("CMI") and certain of its affiliates
(collectively, the "Debtors"), voluntarily petitioned for relief under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"), and thereafter continued
in the management and operation of their businesses and property as Debtors In
Possession until October 25, 1989, when the United States Bankruptcy Court (the
"Court") confirmed the appointment of James P. Hassett as Chapter 11 trustee
(the "Trustee") of the Debtors. Holding is the parent of TLP and CMI is the
parent of CISMS. TLP and CISMS, neither of which filed under Chapter 11, are the
two Corporate General Partners of Wellesley Leasing Partnership, the General
Partner of the Partnership. Both before and after the Petition Date, CIS and CMI
have acted as agents for the Partnership in selling, leasing and remarketing
Partnership equipment. Holding became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIS pursuant
to a Court ordered settlement on July 20, 1993.
On January 9, 1996, TLP Holding LLC purchased all the common stock of TLP from
Holding. Under the new ownership, it is expected that TLP will continue to
operate in the same manner of business as it has in the past.
As of the Petition Date, there were a number of unsettled transactions between
CIS and CMI and the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships (the
Partnership and such other partnerships are herein collectively referred to as
the "Partnerships"), including outstanding accounts receivable and accounts
payable between each of the Partnerships and CIS and CMI and their affiliates,
sales of equipment and related leases from CIS and CMI to each of the
Partnerships for which not all documentation had been completed as of the
Petition Date, and sales of equipment and related leases from which CIS had
failed to remove prior third-party liens. In addition, accounts receivable and
accounts payable continued to accrue and be paid between each of the
Partnerships and CIS and CMI and their affiliates subsequent to the Petition
Date.
On February 28, 1992, the Court granted an order implementing a settlement of
the outstanding issues between each of the Partnerships and the Debtors. The
settlement occurred on March 13, 1992. In the order the Court approved a set-off
on a partnership-by-partnership basis of pre-petition amounts owed by each
affected Debtor to each Partnership to the extent of pre-petition amounts owed
by that Partnership to that Debtor. As a result of the set-off, the Partnership
had a net unsecured pre-petition claim of $6,763 against CIS as of December 31,
1993 which had been fully reserved.
On November 29, 1994, the Court confirmed the Trustee's proposed Joint Plan of
Reorganization ("the Plan") dated October 4, 1994, and the Debtors emerged from
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 21, 1994. In accordance with the
Plan projections, 59% of each CIS claim would be paid in total, of which 44%
would be cash and 15% would be common stock of the reorganized Continental
Information Systems Corporation ("CISC"), based on a per share price of $4.29.
Based on the Plan, the Partnership's fully reserved unsecured pre-petition claim
balance was reduced to $3,990.
<PAGE>
On December 27, 1994, the Partnership received the first distribution from the
Trustee (now trustee of the Liquidating Estate of CIS Corporation, et al) with
respect to the net unsecured pre-petition claim described above. The
distribution consisted of cash proceeds of $1,245 and 197 shares of common stock
in CISC. On July 20, 1995, the Partnership received the second distribution
which consisted of cash proceeds of $922. The Partnership received the third
distribution on October 20, 1995, comprised of cash proceeds of $43 and 27
shares of common stock. During the second quarter of 1995, the stock of CISC
began trading, thereby providing an objective valuation method for establishing
the cost basis of $2.50 per share, which approximated fair value at June 30,
1995. A charge off was made in 1995 in relation to the difference between the
Trustee's original prescribed value of the CISC stock at $4.29 per share and the
cost basis established by the Partnership. Following the Trustee's third
distribution and the charge off made during the year, the Partnership has a
remaining net unsecured pre-petition claim balance of $797 as of December 31,
1995. The General Partner anticipates that the Liquidating Estate will make
future distributions on the remaining outstanding claim balance, although it is
not possible at this time to determine when these distributions will be made
(see note 8 to the financial statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data.).

(a) Market Information
The Partnership's outstanding securities consist of Limited Partnership
Interests in Units of $500 each. As of December 31, 1995, 15,050 Units had been
sold to the public at a price of $500 per Unit (except for 535 Units which were
sold for a net price of $460 per Unit to employees of the Corporate General
Partners of the General Partner and employees and securities representatives of
their affiliates).
There is no public market for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a
public market will develop.

(c) Dividend History and Restrictions
During the fiscal period ended December 31, 1983, the Partnership completed its
offering of 15,050 Units. Pursuant to Section 8 of the Limited Partnership
Agreement, the Partnership's "Distributable Cash From Operations" for each year
will be determined and then distributed to the Partners. Upon reaching the end
of its reinvestment period (the ninth anniversary of the Partnership's closing
date), the Partnership will also distribute to the Partners "Distributable Cash
From Sales or Refinancings", if any. The Partnership distributed $376,252 to the
Limited Partners in 1995, $206,938 in 1994 and $244,563 in 1993. Also, the
Partnership distributed $19,801 to the General Partner in 1995, $10,891 in 1994
and $12,871 in 1993. The cumulative cash distributions to the Limited Partners
through December 31, 1995 are $10,372,014 as compared with the contributed
Limited Partners' net capital of $6,710,991.
"Cash From Operations" and "Cash From Sales or Refinancing" means the net cash
provided by the Partnership's normal operations or as a result of any sales,
refinancings or other dispositions of equipment, respectively, after the general
expenses and current liabilities of the Partnership (other than the equipment
management fee) are paid, as reduced by any reserves for working capital and
contingent liabilities to the extent deemed reasonable by the General Partner,
and as increased by any portion of such reserves then deemed by the General
Partner not to be required for Partnership operations. "Distributable Cash From
Operations" and "Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From
Operations or Cash From Sales or Refinancings, respectively, reduced by amounts
which the General Partner determines shall be reinvested (through the ninth
anniversary of the Partnership's closing date) in additional Equipment and by
payments of all accrued but unpaid equipment management fees.
For rendering services in connection with the normal operations of the
Partnership, the Partnership will pay to the General Partner a Partnership
management fee equal to 7% of the monthly rental billings collected.
Each distribution of Distributable Cash From Operations and any Distributable
Cash From Sales or Refinancings from gains of the Partnership shall be allocated
95% to the Limited Partners and 5% to the General Partner. Any losses from Sales
or Refinancings of equipment shall be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and
1% to the General Partner until "Payout" has occurred. "Payout" means the time
when the aggregate amount of all distributions to the Limited Partners of
Distributable Cash From Operations and of Distributable Cash From Sales or
Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the Limited Partners' original
invested capital plus a cumulative 10% annual return (compounded daily) on their
aggregate unreturned invested capital (calculated from the beginning of the
first full fiscal quarter following the Partnership's closing date). Including
the distribution for the fourth quarter of 1995 made February 29, 1996,
cumulative distributions to date are $691.67 per Unit. This cumulative
distribution per Unit amount represents 75.19% of "Payout". After Payout has
occurred, any Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings will be distributed
15% (plus an additional 1% for each 1% by which the total of all Limited
Partners' original Capital Contributions actually paid or allocated to the
Partnership's investment in equipment exceeds the greater of (i) 80% of the
gross proceeds of the Partnership's offering of Units, reduced by 0.0625% for
each 1% of leverage encumbering Partnership equipment, or (ii) 75% of the gross
proceeds of such offering) to the General Partner, and the remainder to the
Limited Partners. It is not anticipated that Payout will occur as of the
liquidation of this Partnership.
Distributable Cash, if any, will be distributed within 60 days after the
completion of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each Partnership fiscal
year, and within 120 days after the completion of each fiscal year, beginning
after the first full fiscal quarter following the Partnership's closing date.
Each such distribution will be described in a statement sent to the Limited
Partners.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
General
On October 31, 1983, the Partnership completed its offering and received from
the escrow account $7,503,600 representing 15,050 Units of Limited Partnership
Interests. Of this amount, the Partnership received proceeds from the sale of
535 Units at a price net of sales commissions for employees of the Corporate
General Partners of the General Partner and employees and securities
representatives of its affiliates, who are allowed to purchase Units for a net
price of $460 per Unit.
Results of Operations
The following discussion relates to Partnership's operations for the year ended
December 31, 1995, in comparison to the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.
The Partnership realized net income of $108,959, $365,907 and $165,822 for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. Rental income
decreased $214,114 or 60% and $147,362 or 29% in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The decrease each year is primarily due to lower rental rates obtained on
equipment lease extensions and remarketings resulting after the initial lease
term expires and due to a decrease in the overall size of the equipment
portfolio. Interest income remained flat from 1994 and increased $6,963 from
1993 to 1994 as a result of higher average short-term investment balances held
during 1994. The $140,815 decrease in net gain on sale of equipment from 1994 to
1995 is primarily due to the sale of equipment with high net book values. In
comparison, the year ended December 31, 1994 yielded a $128,947 increase in net
gain on sale of equipment from the prior year due to the sale of equipment
carrying low net book values. The recovery of net unsecured pre-petition claim
of $1,524 and $1,245 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, was the result of the receipt of the Trustee's distributions on
the fully reserved net unsecured pre-petition receivable (for further discussion
refer to note 7 to the financial statements). The current year recovery relates
to the receipt of the second and third Trustee's distributions comprised of cash
and stock, along with the second quarter of 1995 establishment of the carrying
value of the stock received in the December 27, 1994 distribution. Accordingly,
the prior year recovery amount represents the cash portion of the Trustee's
first distribution.
Total costs and expenses decreased 62% and 57% in 1995 and 1994, respectively,
compared to prior periods. The decrease in costs and expenses each year is
primarily a result of lower depreciation expense. Depreciation expense decreased
each year due to the equipment portfolio becoming fully depreciated and an
overall reduction in the equipment portfolio. The reversal of the provision for
doubtful accounts in 1995 was generated due to successful collection efforts on
delinquent accounts. Management fees expense decreased each year as a result of
the decline in rental income. General and administrative expenses increased
sharply in 1995 over 1994. A major factor contributing to this increase is that
salaries and expenses of the partnership accounting and reporting personnel, of
the General Partner, which are reimbursable by the various partnerships under
management are being allocated over a diminishing number of partnerships. The
General Partner managed 15 partnerships in 1995, 19 partnerships in 1994 and 21
partnerships in 1993. However, the 1994 general and administrative expenses
balance was unusually low because it reflected a reversal for overstated
liabilities recorded in prior years that had been included in general and
administrative expenses at that time.
The Partnership recorded net income per Limited Partnership Unit of $5.92,
$16.75 and $5.90 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The allocation for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993 includes a cost recovery allocation of profit and loss among the General
and Limited Partners which results in an allocation of net profit and loss to
the Limited Partners. This cost recovery allocation is required to maintain
capital accounts consistent with the distribution provisions of the Partnership
Agreement. In certain periods, the cost recovery of profit and loss may result
in an allocation of net loss the Limited Partners in instances when the
Partnership's operations were profitable for the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the year ended December 31, 1995, rental revenue generated from operating
leases was the primary source of funds for the Partnership. As equipment leases
terminate, the General Partner determines if the equipment will be extended to
the same lessee, remarketed to another lessee, or if it is less marketable,
sold. This decision is made upon analyzing which options would generate the most
favorable results.
Rental income will continue to decrease due to two factors. The first factor is
the rate obtained when the original leases expire and are remarketed at a lower
rate. Typically the remarketed rates are lower due to the decrease in useful
life of the equipment. Secondly, the increasing change of technology in the
computer industry usually decreases the demand for older equipment, thus
increasing the possibility of obsolescence. Both of these factors together will
cause remarketed rates to be lower than original rates and will cause certain
leases to terminate upon expiration. Future rental revenues amount to $52,423
and are to be received over the next year (for further discussion, refer to note
4 to the financial statements).
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the General Partner announced its intentions
of winding down the operations of the Partnership beginning in 1994. The General
Partner reevaluated its decision to close the Partnership in 1995 based on the
Partnership's forecasted cash flows for 1995 and 1996. The General Partner has
revised its intentions and currently expects to wind down the operations of the
Partnership in 1996. It is anticipated that substantially all of the assets will
be liquidated and the proceeds will be used to settle all outstanding
liabilities and to make a final distribution. The Partnership will not be
terminated until the net unsecured pre-petition claim against CIS has been
settled and the remaining proceeds have been distributed to the Partners (see
note 8 to the financial statements).
The Partnership's investing activities for the year resulted in equipment sales
with a depreciated cost basis of $10,916, generating $24,877 in proceeds. The
Partnership has no material capital expenditure commitments and will not
purchase equipment in the future as the Partnership has reached the end of its
reinvestment period and has announced its intentions of winding down the
Partnership in 1996.
Cash distributions paid in the first quarter of 1996 are currently at an annual
level of 2% per Limited Partnership Unit, or $2.50 per Limited Partnership Unit
on a quarterly basis. During 1995, the Partnership distributed a total of $25.00
per Limited Partnership Unit which represents income. For the quarter ended
December 31, 1995, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $39,605, of
which $1,980 was distributed to the General Partner and $37,625 was distributed
to the Limited Partners. The distribution subsequently occurred on February 29,
1996. The Partnership expects distributions to be more volatile as its
operations are winding down. The effects of inflation have not been significant
to the Partnership and are not expected to have any material impact in future
periods.
On January 9, 1996, TLP Holding LLC purchased all the common stock of TLP from
Holding. Under the new ownership, it is expected that TLP will continue to
operate in the same manner of business as it has in the past.

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Independent Auditors' Report
The Partners of Wellesley Lease Income Limited Partnership A:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wellesley Lease Income
Limited Partnership A (a Massachusetts Limited Partnership) as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1995. In connection with our audits of the financial statements, we
have also audited the accompanying financial statement schedule II for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These financial
statements and this financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and this financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Wellesley Lease Income Limited
Partnership A as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in note 1, the General Partner has begun the process of liquidating
the assets of the Partnership, and anticipates that this process will be
substantially complete in 1996.

WELLESLEY LEASE INCOME LIMITED PARTNERSHIP A
(A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
(1) Organization and Partnership Matters
The Partnership was organized under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited
Partnership Act on May 6, 1983. The Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership
authorized the issuance of up to 15,000 Limited Partnership Units at a per unit
gross price of $500 and up to 50 additional units to affiliates. The Partnership
closed on October 31, 1983, with 15,050 units.
The General Partner has contributed $1,000 as its General Partnership interest.
In addition, the General Partner and its affiliates have acquired an additional
$24,000 of Limited Partnership Units in accordance with the Amended Agreement of
Limited Partnership.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership,
Distributable Cash From Operations and Profits for federal income tax and
financial reporting purposes from normal operations and any Distributable Cash
From Sales or Refinancings from gains of the Partnership shall be allocated 95%
to the Limited Partners and 5% to the General Partner. Further, gains on sales
of equipment occurring after the reinvestment period end shall be allocated
first to eliminate negative capital accounts, if any, and second 95% to the
Limited Partners and 5% to the General Partner until "Payout" has occurred.
"Payout" means the time when the aggregate amount of all distributions to the
Limited Partners of Distributable Cash From Operations and of Distributable Cash
From Sales or Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the Limited Partners'
original invested capital plus a cumulative 10% annual return (compounded daily)
on their aggregate unreturned invested capital (calculated from the beginning of
the first full fiscal quarter following the Partnership's closing date). Losses
for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes from normal operations
and any Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings from losses of the
Partnership shall be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partner until Payout has occurred, and 85% to the Limited Partners and 15% to
the General Partner thereafter. In addition, special cost recovery allocations
may be required to reflect the differing initial capital contributions of the
General Partner and the Limited Partners. The Partnership's books and records
are in accordance with the terms of the Amended Agreement of Limited
Partnership. Including the distribution for the fourth quarter of 1995 made
February 29, 1996, the cumulative distributions to date are $691.67 per Unit.
This cumulative distribution per Unit amount represents 75.19% of Payout. It is
not anticipated that Payout will occur as of the liquidation of this
Partnership.
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the General Partner announced its intentions
of winding down the operations of the Partnership beginning in 1994. The General
Partner reevaluated its decision to close the Partnership in 1995 based on the
Partnership's forecasted cash flows for 1995 and 1996. The General Partner has
revised its intentions and currently expects to wind down the operations of the
Partnership in 1996. It is anticipated that substantially all of the assets will
be liquidated and the proceeds will be used to settle all outstanding
liabilities and to make a final distribution. The Partnership will not be
terminated until the net unsecured pre-petition claim against CIS has been
settled and the remaining proceeds have been distributed to the Partners (see
note 8 for further discussion).

Notes to Financial Statements
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General
The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting so
that revenues are recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as incurred.
Assets and liabilities are those of the Partnership and do not include any
assets and liabilities of the individual partners. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Depreciation on investment property purchased in 1987 and thereafter is provided
using the double-declining balance method, generally over a five-year period.
The Partnership's policy is to periodically review the estimated fair market
value of its equipment to assess the recoverability of its undepreciated cost.
In accordance with this policy, the Partnership records a charge to depreciation
expense in instances when the net book value of equipment exceeds its net
realizable value. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Major betterments and enhancements are capitalized and depreciated in accordance
with the Partnership's depreciation policy.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers cash and short-term investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The financial statements include an allowance for estimated losses on receivable
balances. The allowance for doubtful accounts are based on past write off
experience and an evaluation of potential uncollectible accounts within the
current receivable balances. Receivable balances which are determined to be
uncollectible are charged against the allowance and subsequent recoveries, if
any, are credited to the allowance. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the allowance
for doubtful accounts included in rents receivable was $2,035 and $5,715,
respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts - affiliates was $797 and
$1,900, at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, both of which pertained to
the net unsecured pre-petition claim balance.
Income Taxes
No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the liability for such
taxes is that of the Partners rather than that of the Partnership. Taxable
income, as reported on Schedule K-1, Form 1065 "Partner's Share of Income,
Credits, Deductions, etc.", was $45,842, $330,662 and $185,822 in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively (see note 6).

Notes to Financial Statements
Reclassifications
Certain prior year financial statement items have been reclassified to conform
with the current year's financial statement presentation.
(3) Investment Property
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership owned capital equipment with a cost basis
of $509,398, subject to existing leases, awaiting re-lease or sale. All
purchases of computer equipment are subject to a 3% acquisition fee paid to the

leases are $52,423. At December 31, 1995, the Partnership owns computer
peripherals with an original cost basis of $509,398.
Four lessees, Apprise Corporation, Hughes Aircraft Company, Incorporated,
Maryland Casualty Insurance, Incorporated and Nissan Motor Corporation, lease
equipment in which the related payments exceed 10% of total rental income. The
related rental payments comprise 19.31%, 14.99%, 18.38% and 33.59%,
respectively, of the total rental income for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Apprise Corporation, Hughes Aircraft Company, Incorporated, Maryland Casualty
Insurance, Incorporated and Nissan Motor Corporation lease equipment comprising
21.03%, 15.27%, 9.33% and 38.84%, respectively, of the total equipment portfolio
at December 31, 1995.
(5) Related Party Transactions

the Limited Partners.
(7) Bankruptcy of Continental Information Systems Corporation
On January 13, 1989 (the "Petition Date"), Continental Information Systems
Corporation ("Continental"), CIS Corporation ("CIS"), CMI Holding Co.
("Holding"), CMI Corporation ("CMI") and certain of its affiliates
(collectively, the "Debtors"), voluntarily petitioned for relief under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"), and thereafter continued
in the management and operation of their businesses and property as Debtors In
Possession until October 25, 1989, when the United States Bankruptcy Court (the
"Court") confirmed the appointment of James P. Hassett as Chapter 11 trustee
(the "Trustee") of the Debtors. Holding is the parent of TLP and CMI is the
parent of CISMS. TLP and CISMS, neither of which filed under Chapter 11, are the
two Corporate General Partners of Wellesley Leasing Partnership, the General
Partner of the Partnership. Both before and after the Petition Date, CIS and CMI
have acted as agents for the Partnership in selling, leasing and remarketing
Partnership equipment. Holding became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIS pursuant
to a Court ordered settlement on July 20, 1993.
<PAGE>
WELLESLEY LEASE INCOME LIMITED PARTNERSHIP A
(A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
As of the Petition Date, there were a number of unsettled transactions between
CIS and CMI and the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships (the
Partnership and such other partnerships are herein collectively referred to as
the "Partnerships"), including outstanding accounts receivable and accounts
payable between each of the Partnerships and CIS and CMI and their affiliates,
sales of equipment and related leases from CIS and CMI to each of the
Partnerships for which not all documentation had been completed as of the
Petition Date, and sales of equipment and related leases from which CIS had
failed to remove prior third-party liens. In addition, accounts receivable and
accounts payable continued to accrue and be paid between each of the
Partnerships and CIS and CMI and their affiliates subsequent to the Petition
Date.
On February 28, 1992, the Court granted an order implementing a settlement of
the outstanding issues between each of the Partnerships and the Debtors. The
settlement occurred on March 13, 1992. In the order the Court approved a set-off
on a partnership-by-partnership basis of pre-petition amounts owed by each
affected Debtor to each Partnership to the extent of pre-petition amounts owed
by that Partnership to that Debtor. As a result of the set-off, the Partnership
had a net unsecured pre-petition claim of $6,763 against CIS as of December 31,
1993 which had been fully reserved.
On November 29, 1994, the Court confirmed the Trustee's proposed Joint Plan of
Reorganization ("the Plan") dated October 4, 1994, and the Debtors emerged from
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 21, 1994. In accordance with the
Plan projections, 59% of each CIS claim would be paid in total, of which 44%
would be cash and 15% would be common stock of the reorganized Continental
Information Systems Corporation ("CISC"), based on a per share price of $4.29.
Based on the Plan, the Partnership's fully reserved unsecured pre-petition claim
balance was reduced to $3,990.
On December 27, 1994, the Partnership received the first distribution from the
Trustee (now trustee of the Liquidating Estate of CIS Corporation, et al) with
respect to the net unsecured pre-petition claim described above. The
distribution consisted of cash proceeds of $1,245 and 197 shares of common stock
in CISC. On July 20, 1995, the Partnership received the second distribution
which consisted of cash proceeds of $922. The Partnership received the third
distribution on October 20, 1995, comprised of cash proceeds of $43 and 27
shares of common stock. During the second quarter of 1995, the stock of CISC
began trading, thereby providing an objective valuation method for establishing
the cost basis of $2.50 per share, which approximated fair value at June 30,
1995. A charge off was made in 1995 in relation to the difference between the
Trustee's original prescribed value of the CISC stock at $4.29 per share and the
cost basis established by the Partnership. Following the Trustee's third
distribution and the charge off made during the year, the Partnership has a
remaining net unsecured pre-petition claim balance of $797 as of December 31,
1995 (see note 8).
<PAGE>
(8) Subsequent Events
On January 19, 1996, the Partnership received the fourth distribution from the
Trustee, with respect to the net unsecured pre-petition claim. The distribution
consisted of cash proceeds of $123. The cash proceeds will be reflected in the
financial statements for the first quarter of 1996. Following the Trustee's
fourth distribution, the Partnership has a remaining net unsecured pre-petition
claim balance of $674 as of January 19, 1996. The General Partner anticipates
that the Liquidating Estate will make future distributions on the remaining
outstanding claim balance, although it is not possible at this time to determine
