(1)   Basis of Presentation

The foregoing  financial  statements  of Columbia  Lease Income Fund A L.P. (the
"Partnership")  have been prepared in accordance  with the rules and regulations
of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  for  Form  10-Q and  reflect  all
adjustments  which are,  in the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.  Pursuant to such
rules and  regulations,  certain note  disclosures  which are normally  required
under  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have  been  omitted.  It  is
recommended  that these  financial  statements be read in  conjunction  with the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

(2)   Significant Accounting Policies

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The financial  statements  include allowances for estimated losses on receivable
balances.  The  allowances  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 June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the
allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  included  in  rents  receivable  was $2,426,
respectively, and  the allowance for  doubtful  accounts  included  in  accounts
receivable - affiliates was $0 and $60,000, respectively.

(3)   Investment Property

At June 30, 1996, the  Partnership  owned computer  equipment with a depreciated
cost basis of $117,391,  subject to existing  leases.  All purchases of computer
equipment are subject to a 2.5% acquisition fee paid to the General Partner.

                        COLUMBIA LEASE INCOME FUND A L.P.
                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operation
                                   (Unaudited)
Results of Operations

The following  discussion relates to Partnership's  operations  for  the quarter
and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same periods in 1995.

The  Partnership  realized net income of $86,898 and $66,824 for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Rental income on operating
leases decreased $97,692 or 61% between the three month periods. The decrease in
rental  income  is due  to  lower  rental  rates  obtained  on  equipment  lease
extensions  and  remarketings  after the initial lease term expires and due to a
decrease in the size of the equipment portfolio.  No earned income on the direct
financing  leases has been  recognized  during the  current  quarter  due to the
complete  allocation  of the  lease  payments  to the fair  market  value of the
equipment  over  the  lease  terms in  1995.  The net gain on sale of  equipment
increased  $3,947 or 52% between the three month periods  primarily due to sales
of fully depreciated equipment during the current quarter.

Total costs and  expenses  decreased  $118,577  or 111%  between the three month
periods.  The decrease in costs and expenses is the result of lower depreciation
expense  combined  with  the  reversal  of  provision  for  doubtful   accounts.
Depreciation  expense  decreased  $65,669  or 77% due to a large  portion of the
equipment  portfolio  becoming fully  depreciated and a reduction in the overall
equipment portfolio. The $60,000 reversal of the provision for doubtful accounts
was  generated  due to the  successful  collection  efforts  on a sale  proceeds
receivable that had been fully reserved in a prior period.  Management fees have
decreased   in  relation  to  the   decline  in  rental   income.   General  and
administrative   expenses  have   increased   $2,304  or  11%.  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  Partnership  realized  net income of $137,867 and $93,583 for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Rental income on operating
leases  decreased  $166,999 or 52%. As discussed in the quarter  analysis above,
the decrease in rental income is primarily due to lower rental rates obtained on
equipment  lease  extensions and  remarketings  after the initial lease term has
expired and due to a decrease in the overall size of the equipment portfolio. No
earned  income on the direct  financing  leases has been  recognized  during the
current year due to the complete  allocation  of the lease  payments to the fair
market  value of the  equipment  over the lease terms in 1995.  Interest  income
decreased  during the first six months of 1996, due to the Partnership  carrying
lower average short-term  investment  balances.  As mentioned above, net gain on
sale  of  equipment  increased  from  1995  to 1996  due to the  sale  of  fully
depreciated equipment during 1996.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operation
                                   (Unaudited)

Total  costs  and  expenses  decreased  $213,831  or 87%  between  the six month
periods.  As was discussed in the quarter  analysis above, the decrease in costs
and expenses is primarily the result of lower depreciation expense combined with
the current year  reversal of provision for doubtful  accounts.  The decrease in
depreciation  expense of  $148,467  is due to a large  portion of the  equipment
portfolio  becoming fully  depreciated and a reduction in the overall  equipment
portfolio.  The $60,000  reversal of the provision for doubtful  accounts in the
current year, reflects the successful  collection of a sales proceed receivable,
that had been fully reserved in a prior period.  Management  fees have decreased
as a result of the decline in rental income. General and administrative expenses
increased  $5,169 or 14%  between the six month  periods.  As  discussed  in the
quarter  analysis  above,  a major factor  impacting the increase in general and
administrative  expenses  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 Partnership  recorded net income per Limited  Partnership  Unit of $3.38 and
$2.60 for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $5.37 and
$3.65 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 1996,  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 option would generate the most
favorable results.

Rental income on operating  leases will continue to decrease due to two factors.
The first factor is the lower rate obtained due to the  remarketing  of existing
equipment upon the expiration of the original lease.  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.  This  decrease  however,  should not affect the  Partnership's
ability to meet its future  cash  requirements.  To the extent  that future cash
flows should be insufficient to meet the  Partnership's  operating  expenses and
liabilities,  additional  funds could be obtained through the sale of equipment,
or a reduction in the rate of cash  distributions.  Future rental  revenues from
operating  leases  amount to $218,445  and are to be received  over the next two
years.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership's  investing  activities
resulted in sales of fully depreciated computer equipment generating proceeds of
$11,599.  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.

Cash  distributions  are  currently  at  an  annual  level  of  2%  per  Limited
Partnership  Unit, or $2.50 per Limited  Partnership  Unit on a quarterly basis.
For  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1996,  the  Partnership   declared  a  cash
distribution  of $64,166,  of which $3,208 was allocated to the General  Partner
and $60,958 was allocated to the Limited Partners. The distribution will be paid
on August 15, 1996. The  Partnership  expects to continue paying at or near this
level. The effects of inflation have not been significant to the Partnership and
are not expected to have a material impact in future periods.

On  January 9, 1996,  TLP  Holding  LLC  purchased  all the common  stock of TLP
Leasing  Programs,  Inc.  from CMI Holding Co.  Under the new  ownership,  it is
expected  that TLP Leasing  Programs,  Inc. will continue to operate in the same
manner of business as it has in the past.
