                          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.

Note 2.    Reclassification.

        Reclassification  -  Certain  1995  amounts  have been  reclassified  to
conform to the 1996 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.  At  September  30,  1996,  the recorded
investment in notes that are considered to be impaired  under  Statement No. 114
was  $23,000  for which  there is no related  allowance.  The  average  recorded

approximately $23,000.

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 $438,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared
to net income of  $426,000  during the same  period in 1995.  Net income for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 was  $1,318,000,  as compared to net income
of $1,279,000 during the same period in 1995.

        Total  revenues  increased  by  $5,000  during  the three  months  ended
September 30, 1996,  when  compared to the same period in 1995.  During the nine
months ended  September  30, 1996,  total  revenues  decreased by $22,000,  when
compared  to the same  period in 1995.  During the three and nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  recognized an increase in income from the
accretion of its zero coupon  bonds.  The income from these zero coupon bonds is
expected to increase  over their life so that the carrying  value will equal the
face value at the maturity date. The  Partnership did not recognize any gains or
losses from the early  liquidation of zero coupon bonds during 1996, as compared
to a loss from the sale of zero coupon bonds of $27,000 during 1995.

        Rental  income  continues  to decline due to a decrease in the amount of
equipment  owned  by  the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  is  currently  in its
liquidation  stage,  as a result it is not  expected to acquire  any  additional
equipment for lease. At September 30, 1996, the Partnership owned equipment with
an aggregate original cost of $529,000, as compared to $1.5 million at September
30, 1995.

        Total expenses decreased by $7,000 and $61,000 during the three and nine
months ended  September 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995.  This
is primarily due to decreases in most expense items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The Partnership's primary source of liquidity is its investments in zero
coupon bonds.  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.

        As  another  source of  liquidity,  the  Partnership  has  entered  into
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  reported  net cash  provided by leasing and  financing
activities of $66,000 and $157,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The  decrease  in 1996 is  primarily  the  result of a
decrease in rental income.

        The Partnership  paid limited partner  redemptions of $65,000 during the
nine months ended  September  30, 1996, as compared to  redemptions  of $484,000
during the same  period in 1995.  As a result,  the  Partnership  also  reported
proceeds  from the maturity of zero coupon bonds of  $1,900,000  during the nine
months ended  September  30, 1996, as compared to proceeds from the sale of zero
coupon  bonds of  $626,000  during the same  period in 1995.  During  1995,  the
Partnership  sold some of its zero coupon bonds in order to generate  sufficient
cash to pay  redemptions  to limited  partners.  The  Partnership  reinvested  a
portion of the  proceeds  from the  maturity of zero coupon  bonds in short term
government agency bonds during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

        As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership owned equipment held for lease
with a  purchase  price of  $87,000  and a net book  value  of $0,  compared  to
$780,000 and $0 at September 30, 1995. 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 $0 and $113,000
during the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  As a
result,  the cumulative cash distributions to the limited partners is $9,937,000
at both  September  30,  1996  and  1995.  The  General  Partner  received  cash
distributions  of $0 and $6,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

        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's  term will expire on December 31,  1996.  The General
Partner is in the process of evaluating the remaining  assets of the Partnership
in order to liquidate  them through  public  auction.  Once the assets have been
liquidated,  the Partnership will make a final distribution to the partners. The
General Partner plans to complete the liquidation of the Partnership by December
31, 1996.

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