1.   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required 
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. 
In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been 
included.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the fiscal 1993 financial statements
to conform to the fiscal 1994 presentation.
<PAGE>

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

Management believes that the reengineering of the Company's business, together
with the elimination of its senior secured debt in 1992, has positioned the
Company to compete more successfully within its chosen markets.  The Company
has eliminated excess operating costs and redesigned its management and lease 
administration, information and sales systems.  As a result, Management believes
that the Company can (i) begin to increase the volume of leases which it 
originates and do so with nominal increases in its back office costs; (ii)
access funds to acquire equipment for lease on a competitive basis; and (iii)
administer owned or managed leases in a cost effective and efficient manner.  

The Company intends to continue to pursue a strategy of periodically
securitizing aggregated pools of warehoused transactions as the primary
methodology of permanently funding the Company's equipment loan and lease
originations.  Although this approach was successfully executed in 1993, there
can be no assurance that the requisite volume of transactions, warehouse
financing or securitized asset sales will continue to be available to the 
Company on terms and conditions that will enable the Company to attain its
profitability and debt-to-equity objectives.

Management believes that the Company would have reported higher net income for
the quarter ended March 31, 1994 if the Company had elected to permanently
fund its leases with long-term debt, instead of warehousing its leases pending
securitization.  Although reportable earnings are adversely impacted during
periods when the Company is accumulating transactions for securitization,
Management believes that the Company will ultimately maximize the profits
that can be realized from its leases through its strategy of aggregating and
securitizing its lease receivables.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was approximately $324,000 or
$(0.08) per share, as compared to net income of approximately $803,000 or $0.19
per share for the same quarter of 1993.  The decrease in net income resulted
primarily from (i) a reduction in fee income as a result of Management's
decision to warehouse transactions during the first quarter of 1994 in
anticipation of a contemplated asset securitization, rather than to
engage in the sale or permanent financing of individual transactions that would 
have resulted in immediately reportable fee income for the Company and (ii) a
reduction in gains realized from the remarketing of certain equipment under
various programs which the Company manages on behalf of various investors.
The reduction is  attributable to a decrease in the amount of equipment
available for remarketing as a result of the continued expiration of the
remaining leases under these various programs. 

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1994 were approximately $718,000
as compared to revenues of approximately $1,829,000 for the same period last
year.  The decrease was largely attributable to (i) a decrease in gain on sale
of leased quipment and (ii) a reduction in fee income.

One component of gains from equipment sales, gains from the remarketing of 
equipment on behalf of third-party investors, decreased approximately $671,000
in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993.
Reportable remarketing gains represent the Company's share of realized
residual values on investor-owned equipment.  The reduction is primarily a
result of the expiration of the remaining leases in the program.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Fee income decreased approximately $284,000 in the first quarter of 1994 as
compared to the same period in 1993 as a result of Management's decision to
warehouse transactions during the first quarter of 1994 in anticipation of
a contemplated asset securitization, rather than to engage in the sale or
permanent financing of individual transactions that would have resulted in
a greater level of immediately reportable fee income for the Company.

Expenses

Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1994 were approximately $1,042,000
compared to approximately $1,026,000 during the same period of 1993, an
increase of approximately 2%.  A  sharply lower level of amortized deferred
finance costs and an increase in net capitalized initial direct costs were
offset by increases in depreciation expense, selling, general and
administrative expenses, and interest expense. 

Depreciation expense increased approximately $30,000 in the first quarter of
1994 compared to the same period last year as a result of the Company
originating and retaining a higher volume of equipment subject to operating
leases. 

Interest expense increased due to the Company's decision to warehouse
originations pending securitization.

The increase in net capitalized initial
direct costs reflects the sharply higher volume of leased assets originated and
retained by the Company in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the first
quarter of 1993.

An increase of approximately $62,000 in selling, general and administrative
costs is primarily the result of an increase in origination fees paid to
the third parties pursuant to vendor sales agreements and an increase in
various miscellaneous expenses.  Increases in these expenses more than offset
a decrease in salaries and commissions.

Financial Condition

The Company's financial condition will continue to be dependent upon certain
critical elements.  First, the Company must be able to obtain recourse and
nonrecourse financing to fund future acquisition of leases.  Second, the
Company must originate a sufficient volume of new business which is structured
and priced in such a way that the Company covers its costs and realizes profits
from its lease originations. 

Uncertainty continues to exist in the Company's core health care equipment
leasing business as a result of the national debate over various healthcare
reform proposals.

Although the Company continues to diversify into niche markets that Management
believes offer the Company attractive returns consistent with its underwriting
criteria, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve operating
results comparable to those realized in 1993. 

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash flows from its
activities, available warehouse and permanent non-recourse borrowings, and
securitized asset sales will be sufficient to meet its foreseeable financing
needs, provided the Company is able to originate a sufficient volume of
transactions which meet its credit quality and profitability standards.
