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

      The Partnership's portfolio consisted of no financings,  finance leases or
operating  leases at June 30,  1999 as  compared  to 95%, 5% and less than 1% of
total investments at June 30, 1998, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

         Revenues  for the three  months ended June 30, 1999 were a net debit of
$1,180,  representing  a decrease of $21,220 or 106% from 1998.  The decrease in
revenues is  attributable  to a loss on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  of
$1,245 for the three months  ended June 30, 1999  compared to a gain on sales or
remarketing  of equipment of $19,179 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a
decrease in finance income of $453 or 89% and a decrease in interest  income and
other of $343 or 98%. The Partnership sold its remaining  financing  transaction
during the three months ended June 30, 1999 at a loss of $1,245. The decrease in
finance  income  resulted  from  the  Partnership's  sale of its  one  remaining
financing transaction in May 1999. The decrease in interest income and other was
the result of a decrease in late charges collected.

         Expenses   for  the  three   months  ended  June  30,1999  were  $1,853
representing a decrease of $9,061 or 83% from 1998.  Expenses decreased due to a
decrease in general and administrative  expenses of $7,499 or 73%, a decrease in
administrative  expense  reimbursements  of  $356  or  91%  and  a  decrease  in
management fees of $206 or 92%. This decrease was partially offset by a reversal
of the provision for bad debts of $1,000.  General and administrative  expenses,
administrative  expense  reimbursements and management fees decreased due to the
decrease in the average size of the finance lease  portfolio  from 1998 to 1999.
As a result of the Partnership's  sale of its remaining  financing  transaction,
the Partnership recorded a reversal of the $1,000 provision for bad debts.

         Net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was
$(3,033) and $9,126,  respectively.  The net income (loss) per weighted  average
limited partnership unit was $(.58) and $1.73 for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

         Revenues  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1999 were a net debit of
$954,  representing  a decrease  of $35,688 or 103% from 1998.  The  decrease in
revenues is  attributable  to a loss on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  of
$1,245 for the six months  ended June 30,  1999  compared  to a gain on sales or
remarketing  of  equipment  of $31,608 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, a
decrease in finance  income of $1,406 or 84% and a decrease  in interest  income
and  other of  $1,429  or 98%.  The  Partnership  sold its  remaining  financing
transaction  during the six months ended June 30, 1999 at a loss of $1,245.  The
decrease  in finance  income  resulted  from the  Partnership's  sale of its one
remaining financing transaction in May 1999. The decrease in interest income and
other was the result of a decrease in late charges collected.

         Expenses for the six months ended June 30,1999 were $1,722 representing
an increase of $4,839 from 1998.  The  increase in expenses  was the result of a
reversal of provision  for bad debts of $1,864 for the six months ended June 30,
1999  compared to a reversal of  provision  for bad debts of $16,213 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in

general   and   administrative   expense  of  $7,628  or  69%,  a  decrease   in
administrative  expense  reimbursements  of  $1,196  or 93%  and a  decrease  in
management  fees  of  $686  or  94%.   General  and   administrative   expenses,
administrative  expense  reimbursements and management fees decreased due to the
decrease in the average size of the finance lease  portfolio  from 1998 to 1999.
As a result of the Partnership's sale of its remaining  financing  transactions,
the Partnership recorded a reversal of the $1,864 provision for bad debts.

         Net income  (loss) for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was
$(2,676) and $37,851,  respectively.  The net income (loss) per weighted average
limited partnership unit was $(.51) and $7.18 for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      As of the date of this report the Partnership  has no remaining  leases or
financing  transactions.  The  remaining  cash in the  Partnership  will be used
toward  payment of a portion of the  existing  liabilities.  The  balance of the
liabilities will be paid by the General  Partner.  The Partnership will not make
any further cash distributions.

      The  Partnership's  primary sources of funds for the six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 were  collection of principal on  non-financed  receivables of
$2,120 and $40,058, respectively, and proceeds from sales of equipment of $5,000
and $23,299, respectively. These funds were used to fund cash distributions.

      Cash  distributions  to limited partners for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and  1998,  which  were  paid  quarterly,  totaled  $12,523  and  $112,702,
respectively,  of which $0 and  $35,958  was  investment  income and $12,523 and
$76,744  was  a  return  of  capital,   respectively.   The  monthly  annualized
distribution  rate was 1% for 1999 and 9.00% for 1998, of which 0% and 2.88% was
investment  income,  respectively,  and 1% and 6.12%  was a return  of  capital,
respectively,  calculated  as a percentage  of each  partner's  initial  capital
contribution.  The  limited  partner  distribution  per  weighted  average  unit
outstanding  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999 and 1998 was  $2.50  and
$22.50, respectively,  of which $0 and $7.18 was investment income and $2.50 and
$15.32 was a return of capital, respectively.

Year 2000 Issue

    The Year 2000 issue arose because many existing  computer programs have been
written  using two digits rather than four to define the  applicable  year. As a
result,  programs could  interpret  dates ending in "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year  2000.  In  certain  cases,  such  errors  could  result in system
failures  or  miscalculations   that  disrupt  the  operation  of  the  affected
businesses.

    The Partnership  uses computer  information  systems provided by the General
Partner and has no computer information systems of its own. The software related
to the General  Partner's primary computer  information  systems are provided by
third party vendors.  The General Partner has formally  communicated  with these
vendors and has received  assurance that their programs are Year 2000 compliant.
In addition,  the General Partner has gathered  information  about the Year 2000
readiness of  significant  vendors and  third-party  servicers  and continues to
monitor developments in this area. All of

the General  Partner's  peripheral  computer  technologies,  such as its network
operating system and third party software  applications,  including  payroll and
electronic  banking  have been  evaluated  and have  been  found to be Year 2000
compliant.  The  Partnership  does not  expect  Year 2000  issues to impact  its
business as it is planning to liquidate before the end of 1999.
