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

Since 1992, the Company has implemented certain strategic initiatives designed 
to enhance the Company's operating results.  These initiatives included
(i) re-engineering the Company's operations, (ii) establishing a broader
earnings base by diversifying into vendor finance, and (iii) increasing the
overall profitability of the Company's equipment financing transactions
through the use of asset securitizations.  Although certain of the these 
measures negatively impact near-term reported earnings, Management believes
that these initiatives will have a positive long-term impact on the
Company's growth and earnings.

During the first six months of 1994, the Company originated and funded, or 
committed to fund, approximately $58 million in equipment finance transactions, 
compared to about $40 million during the same period in 1993 (an increase of
45%).  Management estimates that the net income the Company will realize from 
the securitization of loan and lease receivables originated during the first
six months of 1994 will be substantially greater than the net income the
Company realized from leases and loans originated during the comparable
period of 1993.

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.  Funding through asset securitization vehicles should be subject 
to lower interest rates and therefore less expensive for the Company than the
individual sale of transactions.  As a result, the increased use of this
technique by the Company should maximize reportable earnings, particularly if,
as anticipated, the volume of equipment financing transactions continues to
increase as a result of the Company's expansion into vendor finance. 

Management believes that the Company would have reported significant net income 
for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 and for the six month period ended June 30,
1994, if the Company had elected to permanently fund its leases with 
long-term debt, instead of warehousing its leases pending securitization.  By
not permanently funding its transactions, the Company forgoes the immediate 
one-time recognition of income received when transactions are sold outright.
During the "warehousing" period between the origination and transfer of the
Company's equipment financing transactions to securitization vehicles, the
Company reports net finance income computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.  The rules, in effect, spread income over the
term of the transaction (usually five years).  The Company's operating
expenses are largely recognized as incurred.  Upon securitization, the 
Company accelerates the cash and reportable earnings inherent in the
transactions.  Management believes that when these inherent gains are
realized through the securitization of the loan and lease receivables that
have been warehoused throughout the first six months of 1994, the Company
will report profitable results.  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.

Management anticipates reporting profitable operating results on a quarterly 
basis from and after such time as the Company's expansion into vendor finance
results in a volume of loan and lease originations that will enable the
Company to securitize its contract receivables on a more frequent basis than
is now practicable.  Although the strategy of aggregating and securitizing
transactions 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1994 was approximately $640,000
or $(0.15) per share, as compared to net income of approximately $155,000
or $0.03 per share for the same quarter of 1993.  In general, the
reportable loss largely results from the impact of generally accepted
accounting principles as they apply to the recognition of revenue and income
relating to warehoused assets.  In particular, 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 second 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 operating leases which the Company manages on
behalf of third-party investors.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1994 were approximately $750,000 
as compared to revenues of approximately $1,393,000 for the same period last
year.  The decrease was largely attributable to (i) a decrease in gain on
sale of leased equipment 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
$415,000 in the second 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 third-party investor
programs.

Fee income decreased approximately $292,000 in the second quarter of 1994 as
compared to the same period in 1993 as a result of Management's decision to
warehouse transactions during the second 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 June 30, 1994 were approximately
$1,390,000 compared to approximately $1,239,000 during the same period of
1993, an increase of approximately 12%.  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 and interest
expense. 

Depreciation expense increased approximately $120,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 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 second quarter of 1994 as compared to the second quarter of 1993.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was approximately $964,000 or 
$(0.23) per share compared to net income of approximately $958,000 or $0.22
per share for the same period of last year.  In general, the net loss
reported by the Company for the first six months of 1994 is substantially
attributable to an approximate 54% decrease in reported revenues for the
first six months of 1994 compared to the same period of 1993 (approximately
$1.5 million for 1994 vs. approximately $3.2 million for 1993).  This
decrease in reportable revenues is a direct consequence of Management's
decision to warehouse financed assets during 1994.  Both the volume and
projected profitability of the Company's originations are up significantly
for the first six months of 1994 compared to the same period of 1993.  As a
result, Management believes that the Company's net income would have shown
a significant increase if the Company had employed its historic practice of
funding its transactions through an outright sale.  Notwithstanding the
negative near-term accounting results associated with the Company's
decision to warehouse originations until a securitizable critical mass has 
been attained, Management believes that securitization vehicles will 
ultimately maximize the cash flow and net income that can be realized
from the Company's equipment financing transactions.

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1994 were approximately $1,468,000
versus $3,222,000 for the same six months of last year.  The decrease of 
approximately 54% is primarily due to (i) a decrease in the gain on the
sale of equipment the Company remarkets on behalf of third-party investors, 
attributable to a decline in the amount of equipment available for
remarketing and (ii) a reduction in fee income as a result of Management's 
decision to warehouse assets in anticipation of an asset securitization.

Gain on sale of equipment decreased approximately 82% for the first six 
months of 1994 versus the same period during 1993, as operating leases
managed by the Company continue to expire.

Fee income decreased by approximately $576,000 or 56% for the first six
months of 1994 versus 1993.  This decrease is due to a lower volume of new
leases having been discounted or sold during that period.

Expenses

Expenses for the first six months of 1994 were approximately $2,432,000 versus
approximately $2,265,000 for the comparable period of 1993.  

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 acquisitions of equipment financing
receivables.  Second, the Company must originate a sufficient volume of
equipment lease and loan receivables structured and priced in such a way 
that the Company covers its costs and realizes profits from its finance
asset 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.   The Company is seeking to offset the negative impact
of such uncertainty by expanding into vendor finance.

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.


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.
