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

The  financial results of 1995 and the first half  of  1996  were
influenced   by  a  number  of  economic  and  strategic   issues
including;  (i)  over  the  past  several  years  the   Company's
healthcare  market  has changed in both  size  and  the  type  of
financing  required  by  the marketplace, (ii)  a  securitization
totaling  $56,725,781 was completed in March  1995  and  (iii)  a
securitization  totaling  $85,273,476 was  completed  in  January
1996.

The  Company  conducts  its business in  a  manner   designed  to
conserve  its  working capital and minimize its credit  exposure.
The  Company  does  not  purchase equipment  until;  (i)  it  has
received a noncancelable lease from its customer, and (ii) it has
determined that the lease (a) can be discounted with  a  bank  or
financial  institution on a non-recourse basis, or (b) meets  the
lease  origination standards established for a securitized  pool.
The  Company intends to continue to pursue a diversified strategy
of  funding  which  will  include; (i) periodically  securitizing
aggregated pools of transactions, (ii) specific program financing
agreements,  (iii)  portfolio sales, and (iv) financing  selected
transactions on an individual  basis (i.e. non-pooled).

On  March 16, 1995, the Company issued and sold equipment  lease-
backed pay-through notes in an aggregate initial principal amount
of  $56,725,781.   Through this issuance the Company  permanently
financed  certain assets and liabilities carried on the Company's
balance  sheet  as  of  December  31,  1994.   Pursuant  to  FASB
Statement No. 77, these assets and liabilities were removed  from
the  balance sheet and the resulting gain was recognized  on  the
Company's statement of operations in the first quarter of 1995.

On January 22, 1996, the Company issued and sold equipment lease-
backed pay-through notes in an aggregate initial principal amount
of  $85,273,476.  Through this issuance of such Securitization
notes, the Company permanently financed certain assets and
liabilities carried on the Company's balance sheet as of December
31, 1995.  Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 77, these assets and
liabilities were removed from the balance sheet and the resulting
gain was recognized on the Company's statement of operations in
the first quarter of 1996.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Net Income (Loss)

Net  income  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996  was
approximately $468,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately
$1,600 for the same quarter of 1995.

Revenues

Revenues   for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996   were
approximately $2,625,000 as compared to revenues of approximately
$1,751,000  for  the  same period last year.   The  increase  was
largely attributable to an increase in fee income.

Direct  finance lease income increased by approximately  $354,000
in  1996 compared to the same period in 1995 due to the timing of
the   securitizations   in  those  years.    The   January   1996
securitization  provided  a two month base  of  activations  from
which to recognize income at the beginning of the second quarter.
Since  the  1995 securitization took place in March of 1995,  the
second  quarter  of  1995 started with a  much  smaller  base  of
warehoused contracts.


Expenses

Expenses   for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996   were
approximately  $2,158,000 compared to expenses  of  approximately
$1,753,000  during  the  same period  of  1995,  an  increase  of
approximately  23%.   This increase is mainly  due  to  increased
interest expense due to carrying a higher level of debt  for  the
three month period of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

Selling,    general   and   administrative   expenses   increased
approximately $109,000 in the second quarter of 1996 compared  to
the  same  period in 1995 due mainly to expenses associated  with
increased  personnel and other expenses associated with increased
volume.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Net Income

Net   income  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996   was
approximately $3,388,000 or $ 0.79 per share compared  to  a  net
income of approximately $809,000 or $ 0.19 per share for the same
period  last year.  The increase in net income resulted primarily
from  the  $85,273,000 securitization completed in  January  1996
compared  to  the $56,726,000 securitization completed  in  March
1995.  A decrease in expenses also contributed to the increase in
net income.

Revenues

Revenues   for   the  six  months  ended  June  30,   1996   were
approximately $7,726,000 versus approximately $5,326,000 for  the
same   six  months  of  last  year.   The  increase  was  largely
attributable  to the increase in fee income associated  with  the
January  1996 securitization compared to that recognized  in  the
March 1995 securitization.

Expenses

Expenses  for  the  first six months of 1996  were  approximately
$4,338,000 compared to approximately $4,518,000 during  the  same
period of 1995.

Selling,    general   and   administrative   expenses   decreased
approximately $602,000 in the first half of the year compared  to
the  same  period  in  1995  due mainly  to  the  recognition  of
nonrecurring  charges in the first half of 1995  related  to  the
write  off  of $442,000 of prepaid expenses and the establishment
of  a  reserve  for  pending tax audits  of  $418,000  offset  by
increased expenditures in 1996 related to increases in personnel.

Interest  expense increased approximately $588,000 in  the  first
half of 1996 compared to the same period of 1995 due to increased
expenses associated with the Company's warehouse facilities and a
higher  level  of  interest expenses associated with  the  larger
Janauary   1996  securitization  compared  to  the   March   1995
securitization.

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  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. The  Company  intends  to
utilize  a  combination of interim warehouse borrowing and  long-
term  funding  methodologies to provide  it  with  borrowing  and
funding  availability at market competitive  rates  of  interest.
The  long-term  funding  methodologies  will  include;   (i)  the
continued  issuance  of asset backed securities,  (ii)  portfolio
sales,  (iii)  program financings, and (iv)  the  discounting  of
individual financial contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based upon the Company's estimates of volume of transactions, the
Company believes that existing cash balances, cash flows from its
activities,   available  warehouse  and  permanent   non-recourse
borrowing, and securitized asset sales will be sufficient to meet
its foreseeable financing needs.
