                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1        INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The summarized  financial  information  contained  herein is unaudited;
         however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only
         of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of such
         financial  information have been included.  The accompanying  financial
         statements, footnotes and discussion should be read in conjunction with
         the financial  statements,  related footnotes and discussions contained
         in the American  Leasing  Investors  VIII-B,  L.P. (the  "Partnership")
         annual  report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1995.  The
         results of operations for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 are
         not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
         year.

2        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Leased equipment

         The  cost  of  leased  equipment  represents  the  initial  cost of the
         equipment to the Partnership plus miscellaneous acquisition and closing
         costs,  and  is  carried  at  the  lower  of  depreciated  cost  or net
         realizable value.

         Depreciation  is  computed  using  the  straight-line  method  over the
         estimated  useful  lives of such  assets  (15 years for  transportation
         equipment and 10 years for packaging line equipment).

         When  equipment  is  sold  or  otherwise  disposed  of,  the  cost  and
         accumulated  depreciation  (and any  related  allowance  for  equipment
         impairment)  are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on such
         sale or disposal is reflected in  operations.  Normal  maintenance  and
         repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Partnership provides
         allowances for equipment  impairment  based upon a quarterly  review of
         all equipment in its portfolio,  when management  believes that,  based
         upon market analysis,  appraisal  reports and leases currently in place
         with respect to specific  equipment,  the  investment in such equipment
         may not be recoverable.

3        CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

         The corporate  general  partner of the  Partnership,  ALI Capital Corp.
         (the "Corporate General Partner"),  the managing general partner of the
         Partnership,  ALI Equipment Management Corp.  ("Equipment  Management")
         and Integrated  Resources  Equipment  Group,  Inc.  ("IREG") are wholly
         owned  subsidiaries  of  Presidio  Capital  Corp.   ("Presidio").   CDG
         Associates was the associate general partner of the Partnership through
         February  27,  1995.  On February 28,  1995,  Presidio  Boram Corp.,  a
         subsidiary of Presidio,  became the associate  general  partner.  Other
         limited  partnerships and similar investment  programs have been formed
         by Equipment  Management or its  affiliates to acquire  equipment  and,
         accordingly,  conflicts of interest may arise  between the  Partnership
         and such other limited partnerships. Affiliates of Equipment Management
         have also engaged in businesses  related to the management of equipment
         and the sale of various  types of equipment  and may transact  business
         with the Partnership.

3        CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (continued)

         Subject  to the  rights  of the  Limited  Partners  under  the  Limited
         Partnership  Agreement,  Presidio will control the Partnership  through
         its direct or  indirect  ownership  of all of the  shares of  Equipment
         Management, the Corporate General Partner and, as of February 28, 1995,
         the  associate  general  partner.   Presidio  is  managed  by  Presidio
         Management Company, LLC ("Presidio  Management"),  a company controlled
         by a director of Presidio.  Presidio is also party to an administrative
         services agreement with Wexford Management LLC ("Wexford")  pursuant to
         which Wexford is responsible for the day-to-day  management of Presidio
         and,  among other  things,  has  authority  to  designate  directors of
         Equipment  Management,  the Corporate General Partner and the associate
         general  partner.  During the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,
         reimbursable  expenses  to  Wexford  by  the  Partnership  amounted  to
         $18,391.

         Presidio is a liquidating  company.  Although Presidio has no immediate
         plans to do so, it will  ultimately seek to dispose of the interests it
         acquired from  Integrated  Resources,  Inc.  including its interests in
         Equipment  Management,  the Corporate General Partner and IREG, through
         liquidation;  however,  there can be no assurance of the timing of such
         transaction or the effect it may have on the Partnership.

         The Partnership has a management agreement with IREG, pursuant to which
         IREG receives 5% of annual gross rental  revenues on operating  leases;
         2% of annual gross rental  revenues on full payout leases which contain
         net  lease  provisions;  and 1% of annual  gross  rental  revenues,  if
         services are performed by third parties under the active supervision of
         IREG, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership
         incurred equipment  management fees of $13,745 and $13,921 for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         During  the  operating  and  sale  stage  of the  Partnership,  IREG is
         entitled to a partnership  management fee equal to 4% of  distributable
         cash from operations,  as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement,
         subject to increase  after the limited  partners have received  certain
         specified   minimum  returns  on  their   investment.   No  partnership
         management  fees were incurred for the nine months ended  September 30,
         1996 and 1995.
<PAGE>
3        CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (continued)

         The general  partners  are  entitled to 1% of  distributable  cash from
         operations  and cash from sales and an  allocation of 1% of taxable net
         income or loss of the Partnership.

         During the  operating  and sale stage of the  Partnership,  IREG may be
         entitled to receive  certain other fees which are  subordinated  to the
         receipt by the limited partners of their original  invested capital and
         certain specified minimum returns on their investment.

         Upon the ultimate liquidation of the Partnership,  the general partners
         may  be  required  to  remit  to  the  Partnership   certain   payments
         representing  capital account deficit  restoration based upon a formula
         provided within the Limited  Partnership  Agreement.  Such  restoration
         amount may be less than the recorded general partners'  deficit,  which
         could  result in  distributions  to the  limited  partners of less than
         their recorded equity.

         In April 1995, Equipment Management and certain affiliates entered into
         an agreement with Fieldstone Private Capital Group, L.P. ("Fieldstone")
         pursuant  to  which   Fieldstone   performs   certain   management  and
         administrative  services relating to the Partnership as well as certain
         other  partnerships  in which  Equipment  Management  serves as general
         partner.  Substantially  all costs  associated  with the  retention  of
         Fieldstone will be paid by Equipment Management.

4        EQUIPMENT SALE - 1995

         On September 21, 1993, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian"),  filed for
         reorganization  under Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code.
         Hawaiian  had leased two de  Havilland  DHC Dash 7 Series 102  aircraft
         (collectively  the  "Hawaiian  Aircraft"),  owned  by the  Partnership,
         pursuant to two separate leases (the "Hawaiian  Leases").  The Hawaiian
         Aircraft were subject to nonrecourse  financing (the "Hawaiian  Loans")
         provided by an unaffiliated third party lender (the "Hawaiian Lender").

         Hawaiian had suffered significant financial difficulties since at least
         1990, and,  through April 1994 made rental payments that were less than
         the   scheduled   amounts   due,   based  upon  a  series  of  proposed
         restructuring  plans.  Such  reduced  rental  payments  resulted in the
         Hawaiian  loans being in default.  As a result of a variety of factors,
         the  Partnership  believed  that  there  was a limited  market  for the
         Hawaiian Aircraft.  Accordingly, the Partnership had determined that it
         would not make any payments to cure the defaults on the Hawaiian Loans.

         Hawaiian  emerged  from  bankruptcy  on  September  12,  1994,  and  on
         September 28, 1994, it returned the Hawaiian  Aircraft,  which had been
         retired from  Hawaiian's  fleet since April 18,  1994,  to a designated
         agent of the Hawaiian Lender.  In September 1994, the Hawaiian Aircraft
         were  placed  into  storage  in  California  at the  Hawaiian  Lender's
         expense.
<PAGE>
4        EQUIPMENT SALE - 1995 (continued)

         On August 3, 1995,  the  Hawaiian  Lender  foreclosed  on the  Hawaiian
         Aircraft and held an auction to offer the  Hawaiian  Aircraft for sale.
         As a result of the  limited  market and  significant  competition  with
         respect to the Hawaiian Aircraft,  the Hawaiian Lender was unsuccessful
         in  its  attempts  to  liquidate  its  security   interest   through  a
         foreclosure  sale. The Partnership no longer retains an interest in the
         Hawaiian  Aircraft and in August 1995, the Partnership  removed the net
         carrying value of the Hawaiian Aircraft of approximately $2,292,000 and
         the  related   nonrecourse   notes  and  accrued  interest  payable  of
         approximately $2,991,000, from its respective accounts.

         Both the  Partnership  and the Hawaiian Lender filed proofs of claim in
         the  Hawaiian   bankruptcy  case.  Because  the  Partnership's   claims
         duplicated  those of the Hawaiian Lender (since the Hawaiian Leases and
         all  amounts  thereunder  were  assigned  to  the  Hawaiian  Lender  as
         collateral for the Hawaiian Loans), the Partnership withdrew its claims
         and the Hawaiian Lender assumed the  responsibility of pursuing its own
         claims against Hawaiian.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of September 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  had operating  reserves of
         approximately  $197,000 which was comprised of undistributed  cash from
         operations  and sales of  approximately  $94,800 as well as the general
         working capital reserve of $102,200.

         The Partnership's  remaining revenue  generating assets are one British
         Aerospace Hawker Siddeley 125-800A aircraft (the "Hawker Aircraft") and
         certain packaging line equipment (the "Packaging Line Equipment").  The
         rents  from the  lease of the  Hawker  Aircraft  are  dedicated  to the
         repayment of debt used to acquire such  equipment  and to pay operating
         expenses.  Additionally,  the rents related to the lease renewal of the
         Packaging Line  Equipment are nominal.  Consequently,  the  Partnership
         anticipates  that  cash  distributions  will not be  significant  until
         January 1997 when the remaining debt on the Hawker  Aircraft is repaid.
         Quarterly cash from operations has reached minimal levels and the costs
         associated  with making  quarterly  cash  distributions  remain  fixed;
         therefore,  the managing general partner of the Partnership has decided
         to  discontinue   quarterly  cash  distributions  (except  that  it  is
         anticipated  that cash from sales will be  distributed  with respect to
         the  quarter in which such sales are made) and  instead  make  periodic
         cash  distributions   based  upon  the  accumulation  of  cash  in  the
         Partnership.  It is the  Partnership's  intention to maintain  reserves
         (including the general working capital  reserve)  sufficient to support
         the  Partnership's  future  obligations.  The  Partnership  may, in the
         future,  use certain of its reserves to upgrade its leased equipment in
         order to enhance its value.

         The  Partnership  had no outstanding  material  commitments for capital
         expenditures as of September 30, 1996.

         Inflation and changing  prices have not had any material  effect on the
         Partnership's  revenues  since its inception  nor does the  Partnership
         anticipate any material effect on its business from these factors.
 
         In April 1995, the managing  general  partner of the  Partnership,  ALI
         Equipment  Management  Corp.  ("Equipment  Management"),   and  certain
         affiliates  entered into an agreement with  Fieldstone  Private Capital
         Group,  L.P.  ("Fieldstone")  pursuant  to  which  Fieldstone  performs
         certain  management  and   administrative   services  relating  to  the
         Partnership as well as certain other  partnerships  in which  Equipment
         Management   serves  as  general  partner.   Substantially   all  costs
         associated  with the retention of Fieldstone  will be paid by Equipment
         Management.

         Results of Operations

         Net income  decreased  for the quarter and nine months ended  September
         30,  1996 as compared to the net income for the quarter and nine months
         ended September 30, 1995, primarily due to the recognition of a gain on
         disposition of equipment in the 1995 periods. No gain was recognized in
         the 1996 periods.

         Revenues  decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
         1996 as compared to the respective  prior year periods due to the lease
         renewal in October  1995 of the  Packaging  Line  Equipment  at a lower
         lease rate and lower  balances  available  for  investment  in the 1996
         periods.

         Expenses  decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
         1996 in comparison  to the  corresponding  periods ended  September 30,
         1995  due to  reduction  in  interest  expense,  due  primarily  to the
         continued reduction of the principal amount of outstanding indebtedness
         by the application of rental payments on leveraged transactions.
