                     PHOENIX LEASING CAPITAL ASSURANCE FUND
                          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 March 31, 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 investment in impaired
loans during the three months ended March 31, 1996 was approximately $23,000.

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 87,523 and 89,313 for the three  month

                     PHOENIX LEASING CAPITAL ASSURANCE FUND

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 $417,000 on total  revenues of $469,000  during the three months ended
March 31,  1996,  as compared  to net income of  $412,000  on total  revenues of
$452,000 during the same period in 1995.

      Total  revenues  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996  increased by
$17,000,  when  compared  to the same  period  in 1995.  The  increase  in total
revenues  for the  period is  mainly  due to an  increase  of  $32,000  from the
accretion  of  discount  from  zero  coupon  bonds.  Partially  offsetting  this
increase,  was a decrease in rental  income of $36,000  during the three  months
ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. Additionally,  the
Partnership  did not  report  any  gains or losses  from the sale of  securities
during the three months ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to a loss on the sale
of zero coupon bonds and other marketable  securities of $20,000 during the same
period in 1995.

      The  decrease in rental  income is related to the overall  decrease in the
amount of equipment  owned by the  Partnership at March 31, 1996, as compared to
March 31, 1995.  At March 31, 1996,  the  Partnership  owned  equipment  with an
aggregate  original cost of $1.4  million,  as compared to $2.6 million at March
31, 1995.

      The accretion of discount  from zero coupon bonds  increased for the three
months  ended March 31, 1996,  compared to the same periods in 1995.  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 March 31,  1996,  as
compared  to a loss of $20,000  from the sale of zero  coupon  bonds  during the
three  months  ended March 31,  1995.  These bonds were sold in order to provide
sufficient cash for the payment of limited partner redemptions.

      Total  expenses  increased by $12,000  during the three months ended March
31,  1996,  as  compared to the same period in 1995.  This is  primarily  due to
increases in legal expense and general and  administrative  expenses.  Partially
offsetting  these  increases were  decreases in  depreciation  and  amortization
expense and lease related operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Partnership's  primary source of liquidity is its 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 limited partner redemptions.

      The  Partnership  reported  net cash  provided  by leasing  and  financing
activities  of $8,000 and $46,000 for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  The decrease in 1996 is primarily the result of an increase
in expenses.

      The  Partnership  paid Limited  Partner  redemptions of $43,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to redemptions of $287,000 during
the same period in 1995. As a result,  the  Partnership  also reported  proceeds
from the sale of zero coupon bonds of $0 during the three months ended March 31,
1996,  as compared to proceeds of $311,000  during the same period in 1995.  The
bonds  were sold in order to  generate  sufficient  cash to pay  redemptions  to
limited partners.

      As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership  owned equipment held for lease with
a purchase  price of $754,000 and a net book value of $0 compared to  $1,098,000
and $0 at March 31, 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 $112,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  As a result, the
cumulative  cash  distributions  to the Limited  Partners is  $9,937,000 at both
March 31, 1996 and 1995. The General Partner  received cash  distributions of $0
and $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 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 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.
