PART I

Item 1.  Business.

        (a)  General Development of Business

        AMERICAN INCOME 2 LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP (the "Partnership") was organized
as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act
(the  "Uniform  Act") on  December  30, 1983 for the  purpose of  acquiring  and
leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of capital equipment. Partners'
capital initially  consisted of contributions of $1,000 from the General Partner
(AFG Leasing  Associates)  and $99 from the Initial  Limited  Partner.  The sole
General Partner of the  Partnership is  wholly-owned  by American  Finance Group
("AFG"  or  "Manager"),  a  Massachusetts  partnership.  On June 28,  1985,  the
Partnership  issued  55,263  limited  partnership  units (the  "Units") to 1,498
investors,  including four Units purchased by the Initial Limited  Partner.  The
General  Partner  contributed  $50,000 in  consideration  of its general partner
interest.   The  General   Partner  is  not  required  to  make  other   capital
contributions.

        (b)  Financial Information About Industry Segments

        The Partnership was engaged in only one industry  segment:  the business
of acquiring capital equipment and leasing the equipment to creditworthy lessees
on a  full-payout  or operating  lease basis.  (Full-payout  leases are those in
which  aggregate  noncancellable  rents exceed the purchase  price of the leased
equipment.  Operating  leases  are those in which the  aggregate  noncancellable
rental payments are less than the purchase price of the leased equipment.)
Industry segment data is not applicable.

        (c)  Narrative Description of Business

        The  Partnership  was  organized to acquire a  diversified  portfolio of
capital  equipment  subject to various full payout and  operating  leases and to
lease the  equipment  to third  parties as  income-producing  investments.  More
specifically,  the Partnership's  primary investment  objectives were to acquire
and lease equipment which would:

        1. Generate quarterly cash distributions; and

        2. Maintain substantial residual value for ultimate sale.

        The  Partnership  had the  additional  objective  of  providing  certain
federal income tax benefits.

        The Closing  Date of the Offering of Units of the  Partnership  was June
28, 1985. The initial purchase of equipment and the associated lease commitments
occurred on July 2, 1985.  The  Partnership  completed  the  disposition  of its
equipment  portfolio  in 1994 and  dissolution  of the  Partnership  occurred on
December 29, 1995.

        The Partnership has no employees;  however, it entered into a Management
Agreement with the Manager  coincident with the commencement of operations.  The
Manager's role, among other things, was to (i) evaluate,  select, negotiate, and
consummate the  acquisition of equipment,  (ii) manage the leasing,  re-leasing,
financing,  and  refinancing  of  equipment,  and (iii)  arrange  the  resale of
equipment.  The Manager was  compensated  for such  services as described in the
Partnership's   Amended  and  Restated  Agreement  and  Certificate  of  Limited
Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as amended"),  Item 13 herein, and in Note
4 to the financial statements included in Item 14, herein.

        The Partnership's  investment in equipment was subject to various risks,
including  physical  deterioration and technological  obsolescence.  A principal
business risk of owning and leasing  equipment is the possibility that aggregate
lease revenue and equipment  sale  proceeds will be  insufficient  to provide an
acceptable rate of return on invested  capital after payment of all debt service
costs and operating expenses.  Consequently,  the success of the Partnership was
largely  dependent upon the ability of the General Partner and its Affiliates to
forecast  technological  advances,  the ability of the lessees to fulfill  their
lease obligations and the quality and marketability of the equipment at the time
of sale.
        Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of
lease  revenue  during  the years  ended  December  31,  1995,  1994 and 1993 is
incorporated  herein by reference to Note 2 to the  financial  statements in the
1995 Annual Report.  Refer to Item 14(a)(3) for lease  agreements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

        AFG is a successor to the business of American  Finance  Group,  Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation engaged since its inception in 1980 in various aspects
of the equipment leasing business. In 1990, certain members of AFG's management,
principally  Geoffrey A. MacDonald,  Chief  Executive  Officer and co-founder of
AFG,  established AFG Holdings  (Massachusetts)  Limited Partnership  ("Holdings
Massachusetts") to acquire ownership and control of AFG. Holdings  Massachusetts
effected  this  event by  acquiring  all of the  equity  interests  of AFG's two
partners,  AFG Holdings Illinois Limited Partnership  ("Holdings  Illinois") and
AFG Corporation.  Holdings  Massachusetts  incurred significant  indebtedness to
finance this acquisition, a significant portion of which was scheduled to mature
in 1995.

        On December 16, 1994, the senior lender to Holdings  Massachusetts  (the
"Senior Lender") assumed control of its security  interests in Holdings Illinois
and AFG  Corporation  and sold all such  interests to GDE  Acquisitions  Limited
Partnership,  a Massachusetts  limited partnership owned and controlled entirely
by Gary D. Engle,  President and member of the Executive  Committee of AFG. As a
result of this transaction, GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership acquired all of
the assets,  rights and  obligations  of AFG from the Senior  Lender and assumed
control of AFG.  Geoffrey A. MacDonald remains as Chief Executive Officer of AFG
and member of its Executive Committee.

               Export Sales

Item 5.  Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security Holder 
          Matters.

        (a) Market Information

        There is no  public  market  for the  resale  of the Units and it is not
anticipated that a public market for resale of the Units will develop.

        (b) Approximate Number of Security Holders

        At  December  31,  1995,  there  were no  recordholders  of Units in the
Partnership.

        (c) Dividend History and Restrictions

        Pursuant  to Article  VI of the  Restated  Agreement,  as  amended,  the
Partnership's  Distributable  Cash From Operations and  Distributable  Cash From
Sales or Refinancings was determined and distributed to the Partners quarterly.

        Distributions in 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

</TABLE>

        Distributions  payable were $62,799 at December 31, 1994.  There were no
distributions payable at December 31, 1995.

        "Distributable  Cash From Operations" means the net cash provided by the
Partnership's  normal operations after general expenses and current  liabilities
of the  Partnership  are paid,  reduced by any reserves for working  capital and
contingent  liabilities  to be  funded  from such  cash,  to the  extent  deemed
reasonable by the General Partner, and increased by any portion of such reserves
deemed by the General Partner not to be required for Partnership  operations and
reduced by all accrued and unpaid  Equipment  Management Fees and, after Payout,
further  reduced  by all  accrued  and  unpaid  Subordinated  Remarketing  Fees.
Distributable  Cash From Operations does not include any Distributable Cash From
Sales or Refinancings.

        "Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From Sales or
Refinancings as reduced by (i)(a) amounts  realized from any loss or destruction
of equipment which the General Partner determines shall be reinvested in similar
equipment for the remainder of the original  lease term of the lost or destroyed
equipment,  or in isolated instances, in other equipment, if the General Partner
determines  that  investment  of such proceeds  will  significantly  improve the
diversity of the Partnership's  equipment portfolio,  and subject in either case
to  satisfaction of all existing  indebtedness  secured by such equipment to the
extent  deemed  necessary or  appropriate  by the General  Partner,  and (b) the
proceeds  from the sale of an interest in  equipment  pursuant to any  agreement
governing a joint venture which the General Partner  determines will be invested
in additional  equipment or interests in equipment and which  ultimately  are so
reinvested and (ii) any accrued and unpaid Equipment  Management Fees and, after
Payout, any accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees.

        "Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means cash received by the Partnership
from sale or  refinancing  transactions,  as  reduced  by  (i)(a)  all debts and
liabilities  of the  Partnership  required  to be  paid as a  result  of sale or
refinancing  transactions,  whether or not then due and payable  (including  any
liabilities  on an item of equipment sold which are not assumed by the buyer and
any  remarketing  fees  required to be paid to persons not  affiliated  with the
General Partner, but not including any Subordinated  Remarketing Fees whether or
not  then  due and  payable)  and (b)  any  reserves  for  working  capital  and
contingent  liabilities funded from such cash to the extent deemed reasonable by
the General Partner and (ii) increased by any portion of such reserves deemed by
the General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations.  In the event
the  Partnership  accepts  a note in  connection  with any  sale or  refinancing
transaction,  all payments subsequently received in cash by the Partnership with
respect  to such note  shall be  included  in Cash From  Sales or  Refinancings,
regardless  of the  treatment  of such  payments by the  Partnership  for tax or
accounting  purposes.  If the Partnership receives purchase money obligations in
payment for equipment sold,  which are secured by liens on such  equipment,  the
amount  of such  obligations  shall  not be  included  in  Cash  From  Sales  or
Refinancings until the obligations are fully satisfied.

        Each   distribution   of   Distributable   Cash  From   Operations   and
Distributable  Cash From Sales or Refinancings of the Partnership  shall be made
99% to the Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partner before Payout and 85%
to the Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partner after Payout.

        "Payout" is defined as the first time when the  aggregate  amount of all
distributions to the Limited Partners of Distributable  Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the
Limited Partners' original capital contributions plus a cumulative annual return
of 12% (compounded daily and calculated beginning with the last day of the month
of the  Partnership's  Closing  Date)  on  their  aggregate  unreturned  capital
contributions.  For purposes of this definition,  capital contributions shall be
deemed to have been  returned only to the extent that  distributions  of cash to
the Limited Partners exceed the amount required to satisfy the cumulative annual
return of 12% (compounded daily) on the Limited Partners'  aggregate  unreturned
capital contributions,  such calculation to be based on the aggregate unreturned
capital  contributions  outstanding on the first day of each fiscal quarter. The
Partnership did not achieve Payout.

        Distributable  Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or
Refinancings  ("Distributions")  were  distributed  within  60  days  after  the
completion  of each  quarter,  beginning  with the  first  full  fiscal  quarter
following the Partnership's Closing. The Partnership has distributed $14,956,922
to the Limited  Partners and $151,080 to the General  Partner  since  inception.
Substantially  all of the  distributions  to the  Limited  Partners  represent a
return of capital.

        On October 31,  1995,  the General  Partner as trustee  (the  "Trustee")
executed a Declaration of Trust  establishing a Liquidating  Trust (the "Trust")
to satisfy any unforeseen  expenses of the Partnership  that may arise after the
dissolution date as a result of the Partnership's  equipment leasing activities.
Organization  of the  Trust  has  the  additional  benefit  of  terminating  the
Partnership's income tax reporting obligations after 1995. On December 29, 1995,
the General Partner  transferred all undistributed  cash of $292,716 held by the
Partnership,  into a non-interest  bearing  custodian account (the "Account") of
the Trust.  The transferred  amount included  $29,329 of accrued  expenses which
were paid in 1996. Amounts held in the Account will be reserved for a period not
to exceed  seven  years (or such  shorter  time as counsel  for the  Partnership
advises will be  sufficient  to assure that all claims  against the  Partnership
have  been  presented).  To the  extent  that such  funds  exceed  the  ultimate
liabilities  of the  Partnership,  the Trustee will  distribute  such  remaining
balance to the beneficiaries of the Trust,  which  beneficiaries will consist of
the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective
percentage ownership interests in the Partnership as of the dissolution date.

                         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                         Year ended  December  31, 1995  compared to
                     the year  ended  December  31,  1994 and the year
                              ended December 31, 1994
                            compared to the year ended December 31, 1993


Overview

        On July 1, 1994,  the  General  Partner  initiated  the  liquidation  of
American Income 2 Limited Partnership ("The  Partnership").  The Partnership was
organized  in 1985 to  acquire  and lease a  diversified  portfolio  of  capital
equipment  to  third-party  lessees  and to  distribute  the net  proceeds  from
operating and  remarketing  activities,  after  satisfaction of all expenses and
debt service obligations,  to the Partners. The Partnership was capitalized with
$13,815,750  of equity from the Limited  Partners and $50,000 of equity from the
General  Partner  and  acquired  $24,676,869  of  equipment,  subject to related
indebtedness.  All of the  Partnership's  equipment was sold by the end of 1994.
Dissolution of the Partnership occurred on December 29, 1995.

Results of Operations

        The Statement of Changes in Net Assets in  Liquidation  is presented for
the year ended  December 31, 1995 and reflects the  liquidation of assets during
the period.  As a result,  a comparison  between  current and prior years is not
meaningful and is not presented.

        For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership recognized $25,648
of interest income  generated from the temporary  investment of cash.  Operating
expenses  paid or  accrued  consisted  principally  of  administrative  charges,
professional  service  costs,  such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing
and  distribution  expenses.  These charges  amounted to $64,085 during the year
ended December 31, 1995. In addition, the Partnership incurred $143,507 of legal
costs  related to the aircraft  litigation  described in Note 6 to the financial
statements herein.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Aggregate  cash  distributions  were  adversely  affected by the loss of
stipulated rent payments associated with the aircraft described in Note 6 to the
financial  statements  included herein and the cost of associated legal actions.
Prior to its dissolution on December 29, 1995, cash  transactions  resulted from
the  receipt of interest  income on  short-term  investments  and the payment of
operating expenses, discussed above.

        On October 31,  1995,  the General  Partner as trustee  (the  "Trustee")
executed a Declaration of Trust  establishing a Liquidating  Trust (the "Trust")
to satisfy any unforeseen  expenses of the Partnership  that may arise after the
dissolution date as a result of the Partnership's  equipment leasing activities.
Organization  of the  Trust  has  the  additional  benefit  of  terminating  the
Partnership's income tax reporting obligations after 1995. On December 29, 1995,
the General Partner  transferred all undistributed  cash of $292,716 held by the
Partnership,  into a non-interest  bearing  custodian account (the "Account") of
the Trust.  The transferred  amount included  $29,329 of accrued  expenses which
were paid in 1996. Amounts held in the Account will be reserved for a period not
to exceed  seven  years (or such  shorter  time as counsel  for the  Partnership
advises will be  sufficient  to assure that all claims  against the  Partnership
have  been  presented).  To the  extent  that such  funds  exceed  the  ultimate
liabilities  of the  Partnership,  the Trustee will  distribute  such  remaining
balance to the beneficiaries of the Trust,  which  beneficiaries will consist of
the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective
percentage ownership interests in the Partnership as of the dissolution date.

        For the year ended  December 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  declared total
distributions of $188,397. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement
and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated  Agreement,  as amended"),
the Limited Partners were allocated 99% of these distributions,  or $186,513 and
the  General  Partner  was  allocated  1%,  or  $1,884.  Since  inception,   the
Partnership has distributed  $14,956,922 to the Limited Partners and $151,080 to
the  General  Partner.   Additionally,  the  Partnership  transferred  $263,387,
representing  a  liquidating  distribution,  into the  Account  of the  Trust as
described above. The Partnership  declared no cash  distribution for the quarter
ended December 31,1995 and will make no further quarterly  distributions of cash
to its Partners, except as may be available in the Trust(described above)after
all liabilities of the Partnership have been paid.  Cash distributions paid to 
the Limited Partners consist of both a return of and a return on capital.

                                              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To the Partners of American Income 2 Limited Partnership:

        We have audited the  accompanying  statement of changes in net assets in
liquidation of American Income 2 Limited Partnership for the year ended December
31, 1995, the statement of net assets in liquidation as of December 31, 1994 and
the related  statement  of changes in net assets in  liquidation  for the period
from July 1, 1994 to  December  31,  1994.  In  addition,  we have  audited  the
statements of operations,  changes in partners' capital,  and cash flows for the
period from January 1, 1994 to June 30, 1994 and for the year ended December 31,
1993. These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the  Partnership's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements 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.

        As  described  in Note 1 to the  financial  statements,  the Partners of
American Income 2 Limited Partnership approved a plan of liquidation on June 30,
1994, and the Partnership commenced liquidation shortly thereafter. As a result,
the  Partnership  has changed its basis of accounting for periods  subsequent to
June  30,  1994  from  the  going-concern  basis  to a  liquidation  basis.  The
liquidation  was  completed  and the  Partnership  was dissolved on December 31,
1995.

        In our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  statement of changes in net assets in
liquidation of American Income 2 Limited Partnership for the year ended December
31, 1995,  the statement of net assets in  liquidation  as of December 31, 1994,
the statement of changes in net assets in  liquidation  for the period from July
1, 1994 to December 31,  1994,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash
flows for the  period  from  January  1, 1994 to June 30,  1994 and for the year
ended  December 31, 1993.  In  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles on the basis described in the preceding paragraph.

        Our audits were  conducted  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic  financial   statements  taken  as  a  whole.  The  Additional   Financial
Information  identified  in the  Index  to  Annual  Report  to the  Partners  is
presented for purposes of additional  analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures  applied in our audits of the basic financial  statements and, in our
opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material  respects  in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                                             Notes to the Financial Statements

                                                     December 31, 1995


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS

         AMERICAN INCOME 2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Partnership") was organized
as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act
on December 30, 1983,  for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties
a  diversified  portfolio  of capital  equipment.  Partners'  capital  initially
consisted  of  contributions  of $1,000 from the General  Partner  (AFG  Leasing
Associates,  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of American  Finance Group ("AFG" or the
"Manager"))  and $99 from the Initial  Limited  Partner.  On June 28, 1985,  the
Partnership  issued 55,263  limited  partnership  units,  (the "Units") to 1,498
investors,  including four Units purchased by the Initial Limited  Partner.  The
General  Partner  contributed  $50,000 in  consideration  of its general partner
interest.   The  General   Partner  is  not  required  to  make  other   capital
contributions.

         AFG is a successor to the business of American  Finance Group,  Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation engaged since its inception in 1980 in various aspects
of the equipment leasing business. In 1990, certain members of AFG's management,
principally  Geoffrey A. MacDonald,  Chief  Executive  Officer and co-founder of
AFG,  established AFG Holdings  (Massachusetts)  Limited Partnership  ("Holdings
Massachusetts") to acquire ownership and control of AFG. Holdings  Massachusetts
effected  this  event by  acquiring  all of the  equity  interests  of AFG's two
partners,  AFG Holdings Illinois Limited Partnership  ("Holdings  Illinois") and
AFG Corporation.  Holdings  Massachusetts  incurred significant  indebtedness to
finance this acquisition, a significant portion of which was scheduled to mature
in 1995.

         On December 16, 1994, the senior lender to Holdings  Massachusetts (the
"Senior Lender") assumed control of its security  interests in Holdings Illinois
and AFG  Corporation  and sold all such  interests to GDE  Acquisitions  Limited
Partnership,  a Massachusetts  limited partnership owned and controlled entirely
by Gary D. Engle, President and a member of the Executive Committee of AFG. As a
result of this transaction, GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership acquired all of
the assets,  rights and  obligations  of AFG from the Senior  Lender and assumed
control of AFG.  Geoffrey A. MacDonald remains as Chief Executive Officer of AFG
and member of its Executive Committee.

         Significant operations commenced July 2, 1985 when the Partnership made
its initial equipment purchase.  Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, as amended,
Distributable  Cash  From  Operations  and  Distributable  Cash  From  Sales  or
Refinancings were allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partner.

        Under the terms of a Management  Agreement  between the  Partnership and
AFG,  management  services were provided by AFG to the Partnership at fees which
the General Partner believed to be competitive for similar  services.  (Also see
Note 4.)

Basis of Presentation

        Beginning July 1, 1994, the General Partner initiated the liquidation of
the  Partnership  in  accordance  with  the  Restated  Agreement,   as  amended.
Accordingly,  the  Partnership  changed  its  basis of  accounting  from a going
concern basis to a  liquidation  basis.  The notes to the  financial  statements
incorporate  the six month  operating  period ended June 30, 1994, the six month
liquidation  period  ended  December 31, 1994 and the  liquidation  period ended
December 31, 1995. For purposes of these notes,  both reporting  periods in 1994
have been aggregated.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Cash Flows

        The Partnership  considered liquid investment instruments purchased with
a maturity of three  months or less to be cash  equivalents.  From time to time,
the Partnership  invests excess cash with large  institutional  banks in reverse
repurchase  agreements  with  overnight  maturities.  Under  the  terms  of  the
agreements,  title to the underlying  securities passed to the Partnership.  The
securities underlying the agreements were book entry securities.

Revenue Recognition

        Rents  were   payable  to  the   Partnership   monthly,   quarterly   or
semi-annually  and no significant  amounts were calculated on factors other than
the passage of time. The leases were accounted for as operating  leases and were
noncancellable.  Rents received  prior to their due dates were deferred.  All of
the  Partnership's  primary  and  renewal  leases  had  expired  and  all of the
associated equipment was sold as of December 31, 1994. No future rents are due.

        Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of
lease revenue  during each of the years ending  December 31, 1994 and 1993 is as
follows:

</TABLE>

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires the use of estimates and  assumptions
that affect the amounts  reported in the financial  statements and  accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Equipment on Lease

        All equipment was acquired  from AFG, one of its  affiliates,  including
other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party  sellers.
Equipment  cost  represented  asset  base price  plus  acquisition  fees and was
determined in accordance with the Restated  Agreement,  as amended,  and certain
regulatory guidelines.  Asset base price was affected by the relationship of the
seller  to the  Partnership  as  summarized  herein.  Where  the  seller  of the
equipment  was AFG or an  affiliate,  asset  base price was the lower of (i) the
actual  price paid for the  equipment  by AFG or the  affiliate  plus all actual
costs accrued by AFG or the  affiliate  while  carrying the  equipment  less the
amount  of all  rents  earned  by AFG or the  affiliate  prior  to  selling  the
equipment or (ii) fair market value as determined by the General  Partner in its
best judgment,  including all liens and  encumbrances on the equipment and other
actual expenses. Where the seller of the equipment was a third party who did not
manufacture  the  equipment,  asset  base  price  was the lower of (i) the price
invoiced  by the third  party or (ii) fair  market  value as  determined  by the
General  Partner.  Where the seller of the  equipment was a third party who also
manufactured  the  equipment,  asset base price was the  manufacturer's  invoice
price, which price was considered to be representative of fair market value.


Depreciation

        The Partnership's  depreciation policy was intended to allocate the cost
of equipment  over the period  during which it produced  economic  benefit.  The
principal  period of  economic  benefit was  considered  to  correspond  to each
asset's  primary  lease term,  which term  generally  represented  the period of
greatest revenue  potential for each asset.  Accordingly,  to the extent that an
asset was held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciated the difference
between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated  residual  value of the
asset on a  straight-line  basis over such term.  For  purposes of this  policy,
estimated residual values represented  estimates of equipment values at the date
of primary  lease  expiration.  To the extent  that an asset was held beyond its
primary lease term,  the  Partnership  continued to depreciate the remaining net
book  value of the asset on a  straight-line  basis over the  asset's  remaining
economic life.

Accrued Liabilities - Affiliate

        Unpaid  operating  expenses paid by AFG on behalf of the Partnership are
reported as Accrued Liabilities Affiliate. (See Note 4.)

Allocation of Profits and Losses

        For  financial  statement  purposes,  net income or loss is allocated to
each Partner  according to their  respective  ownership  percentages (99% to the
Limited  Partners  and  1% to  the  General  Partner).  See  Note  5  concerning
allocation of income or loss for income tax purposes.

Net Income (Loss) and Cash Distributions Per Unit

        Net income  (loss) and cash  distributions  per Unit are based on 55,263
Units  outstanding  during each of the three years in the period ended  December
31, 1995 after allocation of the General Partner's 1% share of net income (loss)
and cash distributions.

Provision for Income Taxes

         No   provision  or  benefit  from  income  taxes  is  included  in  the
accompanying  financial  statements.  The Partners are responsible for reporting
their proportionate shares of the Partnership's taxable income or loss and other
tax attributes on their tax returns.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 121,  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of,  which  requires  impairment  losses to be recorded on
long-lived  assets used in operations  when indicators of impairment are present
and the  undiscounted  cash flows  estimated to be generated by those assets are
less  than the  assets'  carrying  amount.  Statement  121 does not  affect  the
Partnership.


NOTE 3 - EQUIPMENT

        At  December  31,  1994,  the  Partnership  had  disposed  of its entire
equipment portfolio.

        As equipment was sold to third  parties,  or otherwise  disposed of, the
Partnership  recognized a gain or loss equal to the  difference  between the net
book value of the equipment at the time of sale or disposition  and the proceeds
realized upon sale or disposition. NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        All operating  expenses  incurred by the  Partnership are paid by AFG on
behalf of the  Partnership  and AFG is  reimbursed  at its actual  cost for such
expenditures.  Fees and other costs  incurred  during each of the three years in
the  period  ended  December  31,  1995,  which  were  paid  or  accrued  by the
Partnership to AFG or its Affiliates, are as follows:

</TABLE>

        As  provided  under  the  terms  of the  Management  Agreement,  AFG was
compensated  for its services to the  Partnership.  Such  services  included all
aspects of acquisition and management of equipment.  For  acquisition  services,
AFG was  compensated by an amount equal to 4.75% of Equipment Base Price paid by
the Partnership. For management services, AFG was compensated by an amount equal
to the  lesser of (i) 5% of gross  lease  rental  revenue or (ii) fees which the
General Partner  reasonably  believed to be competitive  for similar  equipment.
Both of these fees were subject to certain limitations defined in the Management
Agreement. As Payout was not achieved, AFG received no compensation for services
connected  to  the  sale  of  equipment,   under  its  subordinated  remarketing
agreement.

        Interest expense - affiliate represents interest incurred on legal costs
in connection with a state sales tax dispute  involving  certain equipment owned
by the Partnership and other affiliated  investment  programs  sponsored by AFG.
Legal costs incurred by AFG to resolve this matter and the interest  thereon was
allocated  to  the   Partnership   and  other  affected   investment   programs.
Administrative charges represent amounts owed to AFG, pursuant to Section 9.4 of
the Restated  Agreement as amended,  for persons employed by AFG who are engaged
in providing administrative services to the Partnership.  Reimbursable operating
expenses  due to third  parties  represent  costs  paid by AFG on  behalf of the
Partnership which are reimbursed to AFG.

        All equipment was acquired  from AFG, one of its  affiliates,  including
other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party  sellers.
The Partnership's  Purchase Price was determined by the method described in Note
2, Equipment on Lease.

        All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment  were paid directly to
either  AFG or to a  lender.  AFG  temporarily  deposited  collected  funds in a
separate interest bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.


NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

        The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly,  no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accounts of
the Partnership.

        For financial statement purposes,  the Partnership  allocates net income
or loss to each  class  of  partner  according  to  their  respective  ownership
percentages  (99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General  Partner).  This
convention  differs from the income or loss allocation  requirements  for income
tax and Dissolution Event purposes as delineated in the Restated  Agreement,  as
amended.  For income tax purposes,  the Partnership  allocates net income or net
loss in accordance with the provisions of such agreement.

        The  following  is a  reconciliation  between net assets in  liquidation
reported on the financial statement and partners' capital for federal income tax
reporting purposes at December 31, 1995 and 1994:

        On October 31,  1995,  the General  Partner as trustee  (the  "Trustee")
executed a Declaration of Trust  establishing a Liquidating  Trust (the "Trust")
to satisfy any unforeseen  expenses of the Partnership  that may arise after the
dissolution date as a result of the Partnership's  equipment leasing activities.
Organization  of the  Trust  has  the  additional  benefit  of  terminating  the
Partnership's income tax reporting obligations after 1995. On December 29, 1995,
the General Partner  transferred all undistributed  cash of $292,716 held by the
Partnership,  into a non-interest  bearing  custodian account (the "Account") of
the Trust.  The transferred  amount included  $29,329 of accrued  expenses which
were paid in 1996. Amounts held in the Account will be reserved for a period not
to exceed  seven  years (or such  shorter  time as counsel  for the  Partnership
advises will be  sufficient  to assure that all claims  against the  Partnership
have  been  presented).  To the  extent  that such  funds  exceed  the  ultimate
liabilities  of the  Partnership,  the Trustee will  distribute  such  remaining
balance to the beneficiaries of the Trust,  which  beneficiaries will consist of
the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective
percentage ownership interests in the Partnership as of the dissolution date.


NOTE 6 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        On February 24, 1992  Investors  Asset  Holding Corp.  ("I.A.H.C."),  as
trustee of a trust of which the Partnership is the sole  beneficiary,  commenced
an action in the United  States  District  Court for the District of Puerto Rico
(the  "District  Court")  against  L.A.P.S.A.,  Inc. to recover  possession of a
Shorts SD-330 aircraft  pursuant to a defaulted  conditional sales agreement and
for related  monetary  damages.  I.A.H.C.,  on behalf of the  Partnership,  also
commenced action to recover the aircraft in the Dominican Republic, which action
resulted  in the  recovery  of the  aircraft  and its  removal  to the  U.S.  in
February, 1993. L.A.P.S.A. filed counterclaims and one of its principals,  Louis
Perez  Gonzales  ("Perez"),  filed a second action in the District Court against
I.A.H.C.  and AFG seeking monetary damages in excess of $1,000,000.  On July 18,
1994,  the  Partnership  sold the aircraft to a third party for $150,000,  which
event resulted in a net gain of equal amount, for financial  statement purposes.
On December 23, 1994, the District Court dismissed all of L.A.P.S.A.'s claims as
a result of L.A.P.S.A.'s failure to comply with several discovery requests and a
discovery  order. On January 31, 1995, the District Court confirmed its position
by denying L.A.P.S.A.'s motion for reconsideration.

        In a jury trial held in the District Court between  April 24, 1995 and 
May 1, 1995,  I.A.H.C.  obtained a favorable verdict in its case against  
L.A.P.S.A.  and was awarded  approximately  $569,000 for lost profits,  
costs to repossess the aircraft  and legal fees.  In the  separate  case of 
Perez vs.  I.A.H.C.  and AFG, the jury entered a verdict for Perez and
against  I.A.H.C.  in the amount of $125,000.  Immediately  following the 
verdicts,  L.A.P.S.A.  filed for protection under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy 
Code in the District of Puerto Rico and,  through  post-verdict  discovery, 
I.A.H.C.  made the determination  that L.A.P.S.A.  was  judgment-proof.  The 
parties agreed to settle the matter for a mutual  cancellation of the claims
and a settlement agreement was executed on July 20, 1995.

        Additionally,  Victoria Air, an unauthorized user of the aircraft at the
time when  I.A.H.C.  repossessed  the  aircraft,  commenced  an  action  against
I.A.H.C.  in the Dominican  Republic demanding monetary damages in the amount of
approximately  $1,000,000  for loss of  revenues  from use of the  aircraft  and
related  damages.  Currently,  Victoria  Air is not  pursuing its claims and any
further  prosecution  of this  matter  is  considered  unlikely.  The  term  for
prescription of this case for inactivity runs through July 1996.

        On August 8, 1995 AFG, on behalf of the Partnership, commenced an action
in the United  States  District  Court for the  Eastern  District  of  Wisconsin
against Air Cargo Carriers, Inc. and its President, James M. Germek, for damages
in connection with an alleged breach in the parties' agreement pursuant to which
Air Cargo  Carriers,  Inc.  assumed custody and control of the aircraft while it
was stored at Miami  International  Airport  prior to its sale and  promised  to
maintain,  preserve and protect the plane. Due to the determination,  during the
early  discovery  phase of this  matter,  that the cost to pursue  this case may
exceed the benefit, this action was dismissed.


NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On January 1, 1995,  AFG entered into a series of  agreements  with PLM
International,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  headquartered  in San  Francisco,
California   ("PLM"),   whereby  PLM  would:  (i)  purchase,   in  a  multi-step
transaction,  certain  of  AFG's  assets  and  (ii)  provide  accounting,  asset
management  and  investor  services  to AFG and  certain  of  AFG's  affiliates,
including the Partnership and all other equipment  leasing  programs  managed by
AFG (the "Investment Programs").

         On January 3,  1996,  AFG and PLM  executed  an  amendment  to the 1995
agreements  whereby PLM  purchased:  (i) AFG's lease  origination  business  and
associated  contracts,  (ii) the rights to the name "American Finance Group" and
associated logo, and (iii) certain  furniture,  fixtures and computer  software.
PLM hired AFG's  marketing force and certain other support  personnel  effective
January  1,  1996 in  connection  with  the  transaction  and  relinquished  its
responsibilities  under  the  1995  agreements  to  provide  accounting,   asset
management  and investor  services to AFG,  its  affiliates  and the  Investment
Programs after  December 31, 1995.  Accordingly,  AFG and its affiliates  retain
ownership  and control and all  authority and rights with respect to each of the
general partners or managing  trustees of the Investment  Programs;  and AFG, as
Manager,  will continue to provide  accounting,  asset  management  and investor
services to the Partnership.

         Pursuant to the 1996 amendment to the 1995 agreements,  AFG and certain
of its affiliates agreed not to compete with the lease origination business sold
to PLM for a period  of five  years.  AFG  reserved  the  right to  satisfy  all
equipment  needs  of the  Partnership  and all  other  Investment  Programs  and
reserved certain other rights not material to the  Partnership.  AFG also agreed
to change its name,  except where it is used in connection  with the  Investment
Programs.  AFG's management considers the amendment to the 1995 agreements to be
in the best interest of AFG and the Partnership.

             SCHEDULE OF EXCESS (DEFICIENCY) OF TOTAL CASH GENERATED TO COST
                                          OF EQUIPMENT DISPOSED

                      for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993


      The  Partnership  classified  all rents from  leasing  equipment  as lease
revenue. Upon expiration of the primary lease terms,  equipment was sold, rented
on a  month-to-month  basis or  re-leased  for a defined  period  under a new or
extended lease agreement.  The proceeds generated from selling or re-leasing the
equipment,  in addition to any  month-to-month  revenues,  represented the total
residual  value  realized for each item of equipment.  Therefore,  the financial
statement gain or loss, which reflects the difference between the net book value
of the equipment at the time of sale or  disposition  and the proceeds  realized
upon  sale or  disposition  may not  reflect  the  aggregate  residual  proceeds
realized by the Partnership for such equipment.

      The  following is a summary of cash excess or deficiency  associated  with
equipment  dispositions occurring in the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.
There were no equipment sales during the year ended December 31, 1995.
