Notes to the Financial Statements

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's 1995 annual audited financial statements
within Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of
financial position as of June 30, 1996 and the results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the statement of changes in
partners' capital (deficit) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the
statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
Results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

Certain amounts in the prior year's consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

The following significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1995
which would require disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule
10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).

Sale of Cranes

In January, March, April and June 1996,  the Partnership sold nine DSC Venture
cranes and one DSC Venture Ringer, the proceeds of which were used to reduce
the Partnership's debt.

Part 1, Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1996, the Partnership and its consolidated venture and subsidiary's
cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $4,173,076 compared to $1,118,831 at
December 31, 1995.  The increase is primarily due to the receipt of proceeds
from the sale of nine cranes and one Ringer during 1996 and cash provided by
operating activities exceeding principal payments on long-term debt.  The
General Partners believe that the Partnership has adequate cash reserves at the
DSC, the Partnership's 99% subsidiary, and Partnership levels to support
operations.

At June 30, 1996, construction cranes at cost totaled $12,822,913 as compared
to $16,307,334 at December 31, 1995.  The decrease is due to the sales of nine
DSC cranes and one Ringer during the first half of 1996.  The net selling price
of the equipment sold during the first half of 1996 was $4,987,125 resulting in
a gain of $3,707,683 during the first half of 1996.  A portion of the proceeds
from the sales were used to reduce the Partnership's debt.  As a result, and in
addition to the Partnership's required monthly debt service payments, loans
payable decreased from $4,452,545 at December 31, 1995 to $2,023,115 at June
30, 1996. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Partnership utilized
the remaining proceeds from the 1996 second quarter equipment sales to make
principal payments to virtually retire the Partnership's debt.

Accounts receivable increased from $272,837 at December 31, 1995 to $308,712 at
June 30, 1996, primarily due to timing differences in the receipt of payments
for outstanding invoices.

Other assets increased from $53,124 at December 31, 1995 to $449,133 at June
30, 1996 due to an increase in prepaid insurance during the first quarter of
1996 and the establishment of a $253,500 receivable resulting from the sale of
the Ringer during the second quarter of 1996.

Accrued interest increased from $0 at December 31, 1995 to $12,148 at June 30,
1996 primarily due to the timing of loan interest payments.  Due to affiliates
increased from $175,331 at December 31, 1995 to $363,995 at June 30, 1996
mainly due to an accrual made for SFN's consulting fee and salary expenses and
fees due to the General Partners in connection with the equipment sale.

Deferred income taxes increased from $619,320 at December 31, 1995 to $967,737
at June 30, 1996 resulting from deferred taxes provided on higher SFN income in
1996 than in 1995.

Results of Operations

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership generated net
income of $3,018,150  and $3,361,429, respectively, compared to net income of
$51,720 and $452,174 for the same periods during 1995.  The increases in net
income are primarily due to a higher gain on the sale of equipment and an
increase in rental revenues, as well as decreases in general, selling and
administrative expense and interest expense.  The Partnership sold nine cranes
and one Ringer during the first half of 1996 compared to two cranes during the
same period in 1995, resulting in the Partnership recognizing higher gains on
sales of cranes during the 1996 periods.

Rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 totaled
$1,169,391 and $2,456,764, respectively, compared to $1,065,897 and $2,251,006
for the corresponding periods in 1995. The increases are the result of an
increase in crane utilization and average rental rates.  Dayton-Scott Equipment
Company, the fleet's operational manager, expects rental revenues to remain
relatively steady through the remainder of 1996 as a result of stable
utilization and rental rates.  There can be no assurance, however, that either
utilization rates or rental rates will remain steady.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, general, selling and
administrative expenses totaled $434,235 and $843,772, respectively, compared
to $530,474 and $963,113 for the same periods in 1995.  The decreases are
mainly due to lower salary expenses, business insurance and office expenses,
and lower consulting and salary expenses incurred at SFN during the second
quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

Interest expenses for three and six months ended June 30, 1996 totaled $73,799
and $160,552, respectively, compared to $125,852 and $267,638 for the same
periods in 1995.  The decreases are due to interest being calculated on a lower
outstanding principal balance on the Partnership's debt resulting from
principal repayments made during 1995 and the first half of 1996.

Management fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 totaled
$226,114 and $291,274, respectively, compared to $55,237 and $115,715 for the
corresponding periods in 1995.  The increases are the result of an increase in
DSC Venture's gross revenues and an accrual for fees to the General Partners
resulting from the sale of DSC's equipment.
