                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.       General.

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
prepared by the  Partnership in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of Management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information  presented not misleading,  it is suggested that these condensed
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
the notes included in the Partnership's  Financial Statement,  as filed with the
SEC in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.

         Financial  Accounting  Pronouncements.  In March  1995,  the  Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed  of," which  requires that  long-lived  assets and certain
identifiable  intangibles  to be held  and used by an  entity  be  reviewed  for
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for
recoverability,  the entity  would  estimate  the future cash flows  expected to
result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows  (undiscounted  and without interest charges) is less
than the  carrying  amount  of the  asset,  an  impairment  loss is  recognized.
Measurement  of an  impairment  loss  for  long-lived  assets  and  identifiable
intangibles  that an entity  expects to hold and use should be based on the fair
value of the asset.  Statement No. 121 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Partnership  does not expect
the  adoption  of this  statement  to have a  material  impact on its  financial
position and results of operations. The Partnership plans to adopt Statement No.
121 on January 1, 1996.

Note 2.       Reclassification.

         Reclassification  - Certain  1994  amounts  have been  reclassified  to
conform to the 1995 presentation.

Note 3.       Income Taxes.

         Federal  and state  income tax  regulations  provide  that taxes on the
income  or loss of the  Partnership  are  reportable  by the  partners  in their
individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for such taxes has been
made in the accompanying financial statements.

Note 4.       Notes Receivable.

         Impaired Notes Receivable.  On January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan",  and Statement No. 118,  "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income  Recognition and  Disclosures".  Statement No. 114
requires that certain  impaired  loans be measured based on the present value of
expected  cash flows  discounted  at the loan's  effective  interest  rate;  or,
alternatively,  at the loan's  observable  market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Prior to 1995, the allowance for
losses on notes receivable was based on the undiscounted  cash flows or the fair
value of the collateral dependent loans.


<PAGE>


                                                                    Page 6 of 10



         In  accordance  with  Statement  No.  114,  a  loan  is  classified  as
in-substance foreclosure when the Company has taken possession of the collateral
regardless  of  whether  formal   foreclosure   proceedings  take  place.  Notes
receivable  previously  classified as in-substance  foreclosed cable systems but
for which the  Company  had not taken  possession  of the  collateral  have been
reclassified to notes receivable.

         At  September  30,  1995,  the  recorded  investment  in notes that are
considered to be impaired under Statement No. 114 was $24,000 for which there is
no related allowance.  The average recorded  investment in impaired loans during
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was approximately  $25,000.  Generally,
notes  receivable are classified as impaired and the accrual of interest on such
notes are discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has
become  90  days  past  due or  management  has  serious  doubts  about  further
collectibility of the contractual payments.  Any payments received subsequent to
the  placement of the note  receivable on to impaired  status will  generally be
applied towards the reduction of the outstanding note receivable balance,  which
may include previously accrued interest as well as principal. Once the principal
and accrued  interest  balance has been reduced to zero, the remaining  payments
will be applied to interest income.

Note 5.       Net Income (Loss) and Distributions per Limited Partnership Unit.

         Net income and distributions per limited partnership unit were based on
the limited  partners' share of net income and  distributions,  and the weighted
average  number of units  outstanding  of 88,278  and  96,868 for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

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

Results of Operations

         Phoenix Leasing Capital Assurance Fund (the  Partnership)  reported net
income of $426,000 on total  revenues of $459,000  during the three months ended
September 30, 1995,  as compared to net income of $427,000 on total  revenues of
$483,000 during the same period in 1994.  During the nine months ended September
30, 1995, the Partnership reported net income of $1,279,000 on total revenues of
$1,394,000,  as  compared  to net  income of  $1,331,000  on total  revenues  of
$1,531,000 during the same period in 1994.

         Total  revenues for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1995
decreased  by $24,000  and  $137,000,  respectively,  when  compared to the same
periods in 1994.  The decrease in total  revenues for both periods is mainly due
to a decrease in rental  income of $35,000 and  $139,000  for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods
in 1994.  These  decreases are related to the overall  decrease in the amount of
equipment  owned by the  Partnership  at  September  30,  1995,  as  compared to
September 30, 1994. At September 30, 1995, the Partnership  owned equipment with
an  aggregate  original  cost of $1.5  million,  as compared to $3.9  million at
September 30, 1994.

         The  accretion of discount  from zero coupon bonds  increased by $9,000
and $23,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,  compared to
the same periods in 1994.  The income related to zero coupon bonds will continue
to increase in the future as the Partnership continues to accrete these bonds so
that the  carrying  value will equal the face value at the  maturity  date.  The
Partnership  did not  report  any sales of zero  coupon  bonds  during the three
months ended  September  30, 1995, as compared to a gain of $7,000 from the sale
of zero coupon bonds during the three months ended  September  30, 1994.  During
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership reported a loss on the
sale of zero coupon bonds of $27,000,  as compared to a gain on the sale of zero
coupon bonds of $11,000 during the same period in 1994. These bonds were sold in
order to provide sufficient cash for the payment of limited partner redemptions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Partnership's  primary source of liquidity comes from  contractual
obligations  with lessees for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts.  As the
initial lease terms expire on the Partnership's short term operating leases, the
Partnership will re-lease or sell the underlying equipment. The future liquidity
of the Partnership will depend upon the General  Partner's success in collecting
contractual  amounts,  as well as  re-leasing  and  selling the  equipment  upon
expiration of the lease.

         The  Partnership has also made  significant  investments in zero coupon
bonds. It is the intention of the Partnership to hold these bonds until maturity
or  to  the  end  of  the  Partnership's  term,  whichever  occurs  first.  Upon
termination of the Partnership,  the Partnership will use the proceeds  received
upon  maturity  or sale of  these  bonds  to  make a final  distribution  to the
partners.  The  Partnership  has,  and will  continue to sell a portion of these
bonds as cash is needed to pay partner redemptions.

         The  Partnership  reported net cash  provided by leasing and  financing
activities of $157,000 and $306,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
and 1994,  respectively.  The  decrease  in 1995 is  primarily  the  result of a
reduction  in  rental  income,  due to an  overall  decrease  in the size of the
Partnership's  equipment portfolio.  As the cash generated by leasing operations
continues to decline due to the ongoing  liquidation of the equipment portfolio,


<PAGE>


                                                                    Page 8 of 10


future  cash  generated  by  leasing operations is also expected to decline.

         The Partnership paid Limited Partner redemptions of $484,000 during the
nine months ended  September 30, 1995, as compared to  redemptions of $1,127,000
during the same  period in 1994.  As a result,  the  Partnership  also  reported
proceeds  from the sale of zero coupon bonds of $626,000  during the nine months
ended  September 30, 1995,  as compared to proceeds of $830,000  during the same
period in 1994. The bonds were sold in order to generate  sufficient cash to pay
redemptions to limited partners.

         As of September 30, 1995,  the  Partnership  owned  equipment  held for
lease with a purchase  price of $780,000  and a net book value of $0 compared to
$1,919,000  and $13,000 at September 30, 1994.  The General  Partner is actively
engaged,  on  behalf  of  the  Partnership,   in  remarketing  and  selling  the
Partnership's off-lease equipment portfolio.

         The Limited  Partners  received  cash  distributions  of  $113,000  and
$124,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
As a result,  the  cumulative  cash  distributions  to the  Limited  Partners is
$9,937,000  and  $9,824,000  at September 30, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The
General Partner  received cash  distributions of $6,000 for both the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

         The  next  distribution  to  partners  is  expected  to be  made at the
termination of the Partnership. The amount of the distribution will be dependent
upon the amount of cash available for distribution  after the redemption or sale
of all the remaining assets,  which primarily consists of zero coupon bonds. The
Partnership will reach the end of its term on December 31, 1996.

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