PART I


Item 1.           Business


General

Registrant  was formed on November 6, 1985 under the  Delaware  Revised  Uniform
Limited  Partnership  Act with ALI Equipment  Management  Corp.  (the  "Managing
General Partner"),  ALI Capital Corp. (the "Corporate General Partner"), and CDG
Associates (the "Associate General Partner"), as general partners. The Associate
General Partner, the Managing General Partner and the Corporate General Partner,
are collectively referred to herein as the "General Partners."

Through November 2, 1994, the Managing General Partner and the Corporate General
Partner  were   wholly-owned   subsidiaries   of  Integrated   Resources,   Inc.
("Integrated").  On November  3, 1994,  as a result of the  consummation  of the
reorganization plan relating to Integrated's  bankruptcy,  indirect ownership of
the Managing General Partner and the Corporate  General Partner was purchased by
Presidio  Capital Corp.  ("Presidio").  As of February 28, 1995,  Presidio Boram
Corp., a subsidiary of Presidio replaced CDG Associates as the Associate General
Partner. On August 28, 1997, an affiliate of NorthStar Capital Partners acquired
all of the Class B shares  of  Presidio,  the  corporate  parent of the  General
Partners. This acquisition,  when aggregated with previous acquisitions,  caused
NorthStar  Capital Partners to acquire indirect control of the General Partners.
Presidio was also party to an  Administrative  Services  Agreement  with Wexford
Management LLC  ("Wexford")  pursuant to which Wexford was  responsible  for the
day-to-day  management  of Presidio and,  among other  things,  had authority to
designate directors of the General Partners.

On November 2, 1997, the Administrative  Services Agreement between Presidio and
Wexford expired. Effective November 3, 1997, Wexford and Presidio entered into a
new Administrative Services Agreement (the "ASA"), which expires on May 3, 1998.
Under the terms of the ASA, Wexford will provide  consulting and  administrative
services  to  Presidio  and its  affiliates,  including  the  General  Partners.
Presidio  also entered  into a  management  agreement  with  NorthStar  Presidio
Management  Company,  LLC  ("NorthStar  Presidio").   Under  the  terms  of  the
management agreement,  NorthStar Presidio will provide the day-to-day management
of Presidio and its direct or indirect subsidiaries and affiliates.

Effective  November 3, 1997,  the  officers  and  employees  of Wexford that had
served as officers  and/or  Directors  of the General  Partners  tendered  their
resignations. On the same date, the Board of Directors of Presidio appointed new
individuals to serve as officers and/or directors of the General Partners.

Registrant had owned one (1) British Aerospace HS 125-800A aircraft (the "DuPont
Aircraft")  which had been  leased to a third  party  pursuant  to a full payout
lease through January 31, 1997 and certain  packaging line equipment leased to a
third  party.  Registrant  does not engage in any other  business or any foreign
operation and thus a  presentation  of information  about  industry  segments or
geographic areas is not relevant.

In an offering,  which  terminated on December 12, 1986,  Registrant sold 20,440
units  of  limited  partnership   interest  (the  "Units")  for  gross  proceeds
aggregating  $10,220,000.  As of December 31, 1987, substantially all of the net
proceeds available for investment had been invested in equipment.
<PAGE>
During the fiscal years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995, the leasing of
transportation   equipment  constituted   approximately  83%,  95%  and  94%  of
Registrant's  rental  revenues and the leasing of  photocopying,  telephone  and
telecommunications  and packaging line equipment constituted  approximately 17%,
5% and 6% of Registrant's rental revenues.

Registrant's  rental  revenues were derived  primarily  from lease payments from
lessees of its equipment.  None of such lessees are affiliated with  Registrant.
During  the  fiscal  year ended  December  31,  1997,  lease  payments  from the
following  lessees were the source of 10% percent or more of Registrant's  gross
rental  revenues:  E.I.  DuPont de Nemours and Co.  ("DuPont") was the source of
approximately  83% with  respect to the DuPont  Aircraft  and Xerox  Corporation
("Xerox") was the source of approximately  17% with respect to certain packaging
line equipment.  The lease of the DuPont Aircraft expired on January 21, 1997 in
accordance  with its original  terms.  The  associated  debt was repaid upon the
receipt of the final  rental  installment.  The lessee  continued to utilize the
DuPont  Aircraft  until  January 31, 1997 at which time the DuPont  Aircraft was
made  available  for return  inspection  on January 31, 1997. On April 16, 1997,
Registrant  sold the  DuPont  Aircraft  to an  unaffiliated  third  party  for a
purchase price of  $5,400,000,  exclusive of selling  expenses of  approximately
$118,000.  At the time of the sale, the DuPont Aircraft had a net carrying value
of approximately $3,041,800.

In early  July  1994,  upon the  receipt of the final  rental  installment,  the
original  lease  of  certain  packaging  line  equipment  (the  "Packaging  Line
Equipment")  was scheduled to expire.  In addition,  the associated  nonrecourse
debt was repaid upon the  receipt of the final  rental  installment.  The lessee
exercised its right to renew the lease through December 1995, in accordance with
its "Fair Market  Rental  Value"  renewal  option,  at a fair market rental rate
equal to  approximately  42% of the original  rent.  The foregoing  rate was not
agreed upon until October 1995. Since January 1, 1996, Registrant and the lessee
have attempted to reach  agreement for either a lease extension or a sale of the
Packaging Line Equipment. Notwithstanding the absence of an agreement on a lease
extension,  and without  the  consent of  Registrant,  the lessee  continued  to
utilize the Packaging Line Equipment  while failing to pay any rent.  Registrant
and the  lessee  were  unable to reach an  agreement  and,  on April  17,  1997,
Registrant  commenced  an action  against  the  lessee.  This action was settled
during the course of trial which is described in Part 1, Item 3.

See Item 7,  "Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations" and Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplemental Data,"
for further information.

Recent Developments

In January 1998,  Registrant  received  proposed  notices of assessment from the
City of New York, Department of Finance with respect to Unincorporated  Business
Tax ("UBT") of  approximately  $130,000 for the years 1992,  1993 and 1994.  The
City of New York is  alleging  that UBT is owed by  Registrant  with  respect to
conducting business in New York City.

Final  assessments  have not yet been issued.  Registrant  intends to vigorously
contest the assessment.  Although there can be no assurance that Registrant will
be  successful  in  its  contest  of the  assessment,  Registrant  believes  the
assessment  is without  merit.  Registrant  has not  recorded  any  provision or
liability as a result of the proposed notices of assessment.
<PAGE>
Competition

At December 31, 1997,  Registrant's  remaining  asset in its  portfolio  was the
Packaging Line Equipment which was sold in January 1998.

Employees

Registrant does not have any employees.  NorthStar  Presidio  currently performs
accounting,  secretarial,  transfer and administrative  services for Registrant.
NorthStar  Presidio also performs  similar  services for other affiliates of the
Managing General Partner.  Integrated  Resources Equipment Group, Inc. ("IREG"),
an indirect  subsidiary of Presidio,  manages  Registrant's  equipment portfolio
pursuant  to a  Management  Agreement.  See Item 10,  "Directors  and  Executive
Officers  of  Registrant,"  Item  11,  "Executive  Compensation,"  and  Item 13,
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

In April 1995, the Managing General Partner 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  Registrant as well as to certain  other  partnerships  in which the
Managing  General  Partner serves as general  partner.  Substantially  all costs
associated  with the  retention of Fieldstone  are paid by the Managing  General
Partner.  The agreement  with  Fieldstone was scheduled to expire on November 3,
1997.  The  Managing  General  Partner  and  certain  affiliates  are  currently
negotiating a possible extension of the agreement. Fieldstone has indicated that
it will  continue to perform  services  with respect to  Registrant  pending the
conclusion of such negotiation.


Item 2.           Properties

As of March 1, 1998, Registrant did not have any interest in equipment. (1)

 (1)     See  Item 1,  "Business,"  and  Item 7,  "Management's  Discussion  and
         Analysis  of  Financial   Condition  and  Results  of  Operations"  for
         additional information.



Item 3.           Legal Proceedings

On June 30, 1994,  Registrant's  lease of certain  Packaging Line Equipment with
Xerox was scheduled to expire in accordance  with the original  lease terms (the
"Xerox Lease"). Upon receipt of the final rental installment due under the Xerox
Lease the associated nonrecourse debt was repaid.

In late 1993, Xerox had notified  Registrant of its intent to exercise its right
to extend the Xerox Lease and Xerox and  Registrant  commenced  negotiations  to
determine the fair market rental value of the Packaging Line Equipment. Pursuant
to the terms of the  Xerox  Lease,  Xerox  had the right to elect to extend  the
Xerox  Lease for two  consecutive  periods  of one year each.  In October  1995,
Registrant  and Xerox  agreed  upon a lease  rate for an  eighteen  month  lease
renewal which expired on December 31, 1995.

Since January 1, 1996,  Registrant and Xerox have  attempted to reach  agreement
for  either  a  lease  extension  or a sale  of the  Packaging  Line  Equipment.
Notwithstanding  the absence of an agreement on a lease  extension,  and without
<PAGE>
the  consent of  Registrant,  Xerox  continued  to utilize  the  Packaging  Line
Equipment  while  failing to pay any rent.  Registrant  and Xerox were unable to
reach an  agreement  and,  on April 17,  1997,  Registrant  commenced  an action
against Xerox in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York,
seeking  compensation and punitive damages relating to Xerox's  retention of the
Packaging Line Equipment. This action was settled during the course of trial.


Xerox,  during the course of the  litigation,  remitted to  Registrant  the fair
market  rental  value of  approximately  $31,000  for the two year  period  from
January 1, 1996 through  December 31, 1997, as well as a purchase amount for the
equipment of approximately $82,000 at January 1, 1998.

Item 5.           Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
                  Stockholder Matters

There is no developed public market for the Units of Registrant.

As of March 1, 1998,  there were  approximately  900 record  holders of Units of
Registrant, owning an aggregate of 20,442 Units.

During  the  past  two  fiscal  years,   Registrant   made  the  following  cash
distributions  with respect to the Units to holders  thereof as of the dates set
forth below in the amounts set forth opposite such dates:

</TABLE>

(1) The  amount  listed  represents  distribution  of cash  from the sale of the
DuPont Aircraft. (See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations",  for information  relating to Registrant's
future distributions).

Registrant's quarterly cash from operations reached minimal levels at the end of
1995 and the costs  associated with making quarterly cash  distributions  remain
fixed;  therefore,  the  Managing  General  Partner had  decided to  discontinue
quarterly cash distributions (except that it is anticipated that cash from sales
would be distributed with respect to the quarter in which such sales were made).
Registrant  does not anticipate  that it will make any additional  distributions
until  it  resolves  the  issues  associated  with  the tax  examination  of the
Unincorporated  Business Tax. See Item 7, "Management's  Discussion and Analysis
of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations,"  for additional  information
relating to Registrant's ability to make future cash distributions.

Item 7.           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
                  and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Registrant made cash  distributions  to limited partners with respect to 1997 of
$252.00 per Unit.  As of December 31,  1997,  approximately  4% of  Registrant's
equipment,  on an original  cost basis,  remained  in its  portfolio  consisting
solely of the Packaging Line Equipment which was sold effective January 1, 1998.
As of December 31, 1997,  Registrant  had  operating  reserves of  approximately
$177,000 (or approximately $8.57 per Unit), which was comprised of undistributed
cash from operations and sales of approximately $74,800, as well as the original
working capital of $102,200 (1% of original offering proceeds).

Set forth below is a description of various transactions which have impacted the
liquidity of Registrant during 1996 and 1997:

      i)   On  December  21,  1996,  the debt  associated  with the lease of the
           DuPont  Aircraft  was repaid  upon the  receipt  of the final  rental
           installment.  On January 21, 1997,  the lease of the DuPont  Aircraft
           expired in accordance  with its term. The associated  debt was repaid
           upon the receipt of Registrant's final rental installment. The lessee
<PAGE>
           continued  to utilize  the  DuPont  Aircraft,  with the  Registrant's
           consent, until January 31, 1997 at which time the DuPont Aircraft was
           made  available  for  its  return  inspection.  On  April  16,  1997,
           Registrant sold the DuPont  Aircraft to an  unaffiliated  third party
           for a purchase price of $5,400,000,  exclusive of selling expenses of
           approximately  $118,000. At the time of sale, the DuPont Aircraft had
           a net carrying value of approximately $3,041,800.

      ii)  In early July 1994, upon the receipt of the final rental  installment
           during the initial  lease term  associated  with the  Packaging  Line
           Equipment,  the associated nonrecourse debt was repaid. The lessee of
           the Packaging Line  Equipment  exercised its right to renew the lease
           through  December  1995, in  accordance  with its "Fair Market Rental
           Value"  renewal  option  at  a  fair  market  rental  rate  equal  to
           approximately  42% of the  original  rent.  Since  January  1,  1996,
           Registrant  and the lessee  have  attempted  to reach  agreement  for
           either a lease  extension or a sale of the Packaging Line  Equipment.
           Notwithstanding the absence of an agreement on a lease extension, and
           without the consent of  Registrant,  the lessee  continued to utilize
           the  Packaging  Line  Equipment   while  failing  to  pay  any  rent.
           Registrant  and the lessee were unable to reach an agreement  and, on
           April 17, 1997,  Registrant  commenced an action  against the lessee.
           The action was settled  during the course of trial which is described
           in Part I, Item 3. The  Packaging  Line  Equipment had a net carrying
           value  of  $5,308  and  $78,259  at  December   31,  1997  and  1996,
           respectively.

At December  31,  1997,  Registrant's  remaining  asset was the  Packaging  Line
Equipment  which was sold to Xerox on  January  1, 1998.  The  Managing  General
Partner  has  decided to  discontinue  quarterly  cash  distributions  until the
resolution of the tax examination relating to Unincorporated Business Tax. It is
Registrant's  intention to maintain  reserves  (including  the original  working
capital reserve) sufficient to support Registrant's future obligations.

Upon the  consummation  of the  resolution  of the tax  examination  relating to
Unincorporated  Business Tax, the Managing  General  Partner will then prepare a
final  accounting  of  Registrant's   assets  and   liabilities,   commence  the
dissolution  and  termination  of Registrant  and make a final  distribution  to
partners.

Inflation and changing  prices have not had any material  effect on Registrant's
revenues since its inception nor does Registrant  anticipate any material effect
on its business from these factors.

Registrant had no outstanding  material  commitments for capital expenditures as
of December 31, 1997.

Year 2000

Costs  associated  with the year 2000  conversion  are not  expected to have any
impact on the Registrant's operations.

Results of Operations for 1997 as Compared to 1996

Registrant's  rental  revenue  decreased for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to the year ended  December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily due to
the expiration of the lease of the DuPont Aircraft on January 21, 1997. This was
partially offset by the interest earned on the proceeds  generated from the sale
of the DuPont Aircraft available for short term investment.
<PAGE>
Costs and  expenses  decreased  for 1997 as  compared  to 1996 due to:  (i) less
depreciation  on the  DuPont  Aircraft  which was sold on April 16,  1997,  (ii)
reduced interest expense due to the repayment of debt in January 1997 associated
with the DuPont Aircraft , (iii) lower equipment  management fees due to reduced
rentals on which such fee is based,  (iv)  offset by an  increase in general and
administrative expenses due to increased legal fees and an increase in operating
expenses related to the DuPont Aircraft.

Registrant's net income for 1997 was approximately $2,070,000 as compared to net
income of approximately $238,000 for 1996. The principal reason for the increase
in net income was the gain on the disposition of equipment recognized in 1997 of
approximately $2,240,000. The increase in net income was partially offset by the
increase in general and administrative expenses.


Results of Operations for 1996 as Compared to 1995

Registrant's  rental  revenues for the year ended  December  31, 1996  decreased
slightly as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995.

Interest expense  decreased by  approximately  65% for 1996 as compared to 1995,
due  to  the  continued   reduction  of  the  principal  amount  of  outstanding
indebtedness by the application of rental payments on the leveraged transaction.

Operating  expenses decreased by approximately 48% for 1996 as compared to 1995,
primarily  due to the  reduction  of  maintenance  and  administrative  expenses
associated with leases.

General and  administrative  expenses  decreased  approximately  35% for 1996 as
compared to 1995,  primarily due to a decrease in legal and auditing expenses in
1996.

Fees to affiliates  decreased by approximately 19% for 1996 as compared to 1995,
due  primarily to the decrease in equipment  management  fees  resulting  from a
reduction  in  rental  revenues  on which  such fees are based as well as to the
absence of partnership management fees during 1996

Registrant's net income for 1996 was  approximately  $238,000 as compared to net
income of  approximately  $887,000 for 1995. The principal reason for the change
was the gain on the  disposition  on the  foreclosure  of the Hawaiian  Aircraft
recognized  in 1995 of  approximately  $736,000.  The decrease in net income was
offset primarily by a decrease in interest expense from  approximately  $105,000
in 1995 to approximately $37,000 in 1996.

To the Partners of
American Leasing Investors VIII-B, L.P.
Greenwich, Connecticut

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of American  Leasing  Investors
VIII-B,  L.P. (a limited  partnership) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related  statements of income,  partners'  equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended  December 31, 1997. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a)2. These financial
statements and the financial  statement  schedule are the  responsibility of the
Partnership's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of American  Leasing  Investors
VIII-B, L.P. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31,
1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.  Also, in our
opinion,  such financial statement schedule,  when considered in relation to the
basic  financial  statements  taken as a whole,  presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed  in Note 4, the  Partnership  sold its  remaining  asset  effective
January 1, 1998,  and as a result,  has completed the  liquidation of  its asset
portfolio.  Pending the resolution of a tax claim against the Partnership  which
is discussed in Note 10, the Partnership anticipates making a final distribution
to its partners and dissolving shortly thereafter.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


1         ORGANIZATION

         American  Leasing  Investors  VIII-B,   L.P.  (the  "Partnership")  was
         organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act as
         of  November  6,  1985 for the  purpose  of  investing  in and  leasing
         equipment  principally  in the  United  States.  The  Partnership  will
         terminate on December 31, 2010, or sooner, in accordance with the terms
         of the  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership  (the  "Limited  Partnership
         Agreement").

         Limited partners' units were originally issued at a price value of $500
         per unit. A total of 20,442 units of limited partnership  interest were
         issued for aggregate capital contributions of $10,221,000. In addition,
         the general partners contributed a total of $1,000 to the Partnership.

2         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Leases

         The  Partnership  accounts for all of its leases in accordance with the
         operating  method.  Under  this  method,  revenue  is  recognized  on a
         straight-line basis and expenses  (including  depreciation) are charged
         to operations as incurred.

         Leased equipment and equipment held for sale

         The cost of leased equipment and equipment held for sale 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).  Depreciation is
         not taken on equipment held for sale.

         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.

         The allowance is inherently  subjective and is based upon  management's
         best estimate of current  conditions  and  assumptions  about  expected
         future conditions.

2         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


         Financial statements

         The financial  statements  include only those assets,  liabilities  and
         results of operations, which relate to the business of the Partnership.

         Cash and cash equivalents

         For the  purpose  of the  statements  of cash  flows,  the  Partnership
         considers all short-term investments, which have original maturities of
         three months or less from the date of issuance to be cash equivalents.

         Substantially  all of the  Partnership's  cash and cash equivalents are
         held at one financial institution.

         Net income and distributions per unit of limited partnership interest

         Net income and distributions per unit of limited  partnership  interest
         are computed based upon the number of units outstanding (20,442) during
         the year.

         Income taxes

         No provisions have been made for federal, state and local income taxes,
         since they are the personal responsibility of the partners.

         The income tax returns of the Partnership are subject to examination by
         federal,  state and local taxing  authorities.  Such examinations could
         result in adjustments to Partnership income, which changes could effect
         the income tax liability of the individual partners.

         Reclassifications

         Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the financial  statements
         shown for the prior  years in order to  conform to the  current  year's
         classifications.

         Estimates

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
         accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates
         and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial  statements and the reported  amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

2         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


         Recently issued accounting pronouncements

         The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has recently issued several
         new accounting pronouncements.  Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
         established  standards for computing and presenting earnings per share,
         and became  effective  for  financial  statements  for both interim and
         annual  periods  ending after  December 15,  1997.  Statement  No. 129,
         "Disclosure  of  Information  about  Capital   Structure"   established
         standards  for  disclosing   information   about  an  entity's  capital
         structure,  and became  effective for financial  statements for periods
         ending  after  December  15,  1997.   Statement  No.  130,   "Reporting
         Comprehensive  Income" establishes  standards for reporting and display
         of comprehensive income and its components, and is effective for fiscal
         years   beginning   after   December  15,  1997.   Statement  No.  131,
         "Disclosures   about   Recently   issued   accounting    pronouncements
         Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related   Information"   establishes
         standards  for  the  way  that  public  business   enterprises   report
         information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
         requires  that those  enterprises  report  selected  information  about
         operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.
         It also establishes  standards for related  disclosures  about products
         and services,  geographic areas, and major customers,  and is effective
         for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997.

         Management of the Partnership does not believe that these new standards
         have,  or will have a  material  effect on the  Partnership's  reported
         operating results, per unit amounts, financial position or cash flows.

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") were wholly
         owned subsidiaries of Integrated Resources, Inc. ("Integrated") through
         November 2, 1994. On November 3, 1994, as a result of the  consummation
         of  the  reorganization  plan  relating  to  Integrated's   bankruptcy,
         indirect   ownership  of  the  Corporate  General  Partner,   Equipment
         Management   and  IREG  was   purchased  by  Presidio   Capital   Corp.
         ("Presidio").  CDG Associates was the associate  general partner of the
         Partnership  through February 27, 1995. On February 28, 1995,  Presidio

                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995

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

         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.

         Subject  to the  rights  of the  limited  partners  under  the  Limited
         Partnership  Agreement,  Presidio controls 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.  On August 28, 1997,  an affiliate of
         NorthStar  Capital  Partners  acquired  all of the  Class B  shares  of
         Presidio,   the  corporate  parent  of  the  general   partners.   This
         acquisition,   when  aggregated  with  previous  acquisitions,   caused
         NorthStar  Capital  Partners to acquire indirect control of the general
         partners.  Presidio  was  also  party  to  an  Administrative  Services
         Agreement  with Wexford  Management LLC  ("Wexford")  pursuant to which
         Wexford was responsible for the day-to-day  management of Presidio and,
         among other things, had authority to designate directors of the general
         partners.

         On November 2, 1997,  the  Administrative  Services  Agreement  between
         Presidio and Wexford expired.  Effective  November 3, 1997, Wexford and
         Presidio  entered into a new  Administrative  Services  Agreement  (the
         "ASA")  which  expires  on May 3,  1998.  Under  the  terms of the ASA,
         Wexford will provide consulting and administrative services to Presidio
         and its affiliates, including the general partners and the Partnership.
         Presidio  also  entered  into a  management  agreement  with  NorthStar
         Presidio  Management  Company,  LLC ("NorthStar  Presidio").  Under the
         terms of the management agreement,  NorthStar Presidio will provide the
         day-to-day   management   of  Presidio  and  its  direct  and  indirect
         subsidiaries and affiliates.

         Effective November 3, 1997,  officers and employees of Wexford that had
         served as officers and/or  directors of the general  partners  tendered
         their  resignations.  On the  same  date,  the  Board of  Directors  of
         Presidio   appointed  new  individuals  to  serve  as  officers  and/or
         directors of the general partners.

         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. During the years
         ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership  incurred expenses of
         $18,326 and $18,444,  respectively,  for such management  services.  No
         such fees were incurred during the year ended December 31, 1997.

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

         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.  During the year ended
         December 31, 1995, the Partnership incurred partnership management fees
         of $4,302.  Such  amounts  are  included in fees to  affiliates  in the
         statements of income. No partnership  management fees were incurred for
         the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

         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.

         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 to
         certain other  partnerships  in which  Equipment  Management  serves as
         general partner.  Substantially all costs associated with the retention
         of Fieldstone are paid by Equipment Management. The agreement
         with Fieldstone was scheduled to expire on November 3, 1997.  Equipment
         Management and certain affiliates are currently  negotiating a possible
         extension of the agreement. Fieldstone has indicated that it will
         continue to perform  services with respect to the  Partnership  pending
         the conclusion of such negotiation.

         The lease of the Partnership's  transportation equipment expired during
         January 1997 and the equipment was sold on April 16, 1997 (Note 9).

         On June 30, 1994,  the  Partnership's  lease of certain  Packaging Line
         Equipment  with Xerox was  scheduled to expire in  accordance  with the
         original  lease terms (the "Xerox  Lease").  Upon  receipt of the final
         rental installment due under the Xerox Lease the associated nonrecourse
         debt was repaid.

         In late  1993,  Xerox had  notified  the  Partnership  of its intent to
         exercise  its  right to  extend  the  Xerox  Lease  and  Xerox  and the
         Partnership commenced  negotiations to determine the fair market rental
         value of the  Packaging  Line  Equipment.  Pursuant to the terms of the
         Xerox Lease, Xerox had the right to elect to extend the Xerox Lease for
         two  consecutive  periods  of one  year  each.  In  October  1995,  the
         Partnership  and Xerox  agreed upon a lease rate for an eighteen  month
         lease renewal which expired on December 31, 1995.

         Since  January 1, 1996,  the  Partnership  and Xerox have  attempted to
         reach agreement for either a lease extension or a sale of the Packaging
         Line Equipment.  Notwithstanding the absence of an agreement on a lease
         extension, and without the consent of the Partnership,  Xerox continued
         to utilize the Packaging Line Equipment  while failing to pay any rent.
         The  Partnership  and Xerox were unable to reach an  agreement  and, on
         April 17, 1997,  the  Partnership  commenced an action against Xerox in
         the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, seeking
         compensation and punitive damages relating to Xerox's  retention of the
         Packaging Line Equipment.  This action was settled during the course of
         trial in early 1998.

         Xerox, during the course of the litigation, remitted to the Partnership
         the fair market rental value of approximately  $31,000 for the two year
         period from  January 1, 1996 through  December  31, 1997,  as well as a

6         PARTNERS' EQUITY

         The General Partners hold a 1% equity interest in the  Partnership.  At
         the inception of the Partnership,  the General Partners' equity account
         was credited with only the actual capital  contributed in cash, $1,000.
         The Partnership's  management  determined that this accounting does not
         appropriately  reflect the limited  partners' and the General Partners'
         relative  participations in the Partnership's net assets, since it does
         not  reflect  the  General   Partners'   1%  equity   interest  in  the
         Partnership.   Thus,  the   Partnership   has  restated  its  financial
         statements to reallocate  $102,210 (1% of the gross proceeds  raised at
         the  Partnership's  formation) of the  partners'  equity to the General
         Partners'  equity  account.  This  reallocation  was  made  as  of  the
         inception of the Partnership and all periods presented in the financial
         statements  have  been  restated  to  reflect  this  reallocation.  The
         reallocation  has no impact on the  Partnership's  financial  position,
         results of operations,  cash flows,  distributions to partners,  or the
         partners' tax basis capital accounts.

7         RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME AND NET ASSETS PER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
          TO TAX BASIS

         The  Partnership  filed its tax return on a cash basis until 1987 when,
         as a requirement of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, it was converted to the
         accrual  basis  of  accounting  eliminating,  over  time,  most  timing
         differences  with the  exception of  accelerated  depreciation  for tax
         purposes.  A reconciliation  of net income per financial  statements to
         the tax basis of accounting is as follows:

9         EQUIPMENT SALES

         DuPont Aircraft

         On January 21,  1997,  the lease of the British  Aerospace  HS 125-800A
         aircraft (the "DuPont  Aircraft") owned by the Partnership,  expired in
         accordance with its original terms. The associated debt was repaid upon
         the receipt of the final rental  installment.  The lessee  continued to
         utilize the DuPont  Aircraft,  with the  Partnership's  consent,  until
         January 31, 1997 at which time the DuPont  Aircraft was made  available
         for its return inspection.  On April 16, 1997, the Partnership sold the
         DuPont  Aircraft  to  an  unaffiliated   third  party  for  $5,400,000,
         exclusive of selling expenses of approximately $118,000. At the time of
         sale,  the DuPont  Aircraft had a net carrying  value of  approximately
         $3,041,800.

         Hawaiian Aircraft

         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  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.

9         EQUIPMENT SALES (continued)

         Hawaiian Aircraft (continued)

         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.  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.  In August 1995,  the
         Partnership  removed the net carrying value of the Hawaiian Aircraft of
         approximately  $2,292,000  (which  included an allowance  for equipment
         impairment   of  $2,493,000   previously   provided)  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.

10        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         In  January  1998,  The  Partnership   received   proposed  notices  of
         assessment  from the  City of New  York,  Department  of  Finance  with
         respect  to  Unincorporated   Business  Tax  ("UBT")  of  approximately
         $130,000  for the years  1992,  1993 and 1994.  The City of New York is
         alleging that UBT is owed by the Partnership with respect to conducting
         business in New York City.

         Final assessments have not yet been issued. The Partnership  intends to
         vigorously  contest the assessment.  Although there can be no assurance
         that  the  Partnership  will  be  successful  in  its  contest  of  the
         assessment,  the Partnership  believes the assessment is without merit.
         The Partnership has not recorded any provision or liability as a result
         of the proposed notices of assessment.
