                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note 1.  General:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the  Partnership in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of Management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information  presented not misleading,  it is suggested that these condensed
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
the notes included in the Partnership's  Financial Statement,  as filed with the
SEC in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Note 2.  Reclassification:

Reclassification - Certain 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1995 presentation.

Note 3.  Notes Receivable:

IMPAIRED  NOTES  RECEIVABLE  - On  January  1,  1995,  the  Partnership  adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for  Impairment of a Loan," and Statement No. 118,  "Accounting by creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income  Recognition and  Disclosures."  Statement No. 114
requires that certain  impaired  loans be measured based on the present value of
expected  cash flows  discounted  at the loan's  effective  interest  rate;  or,
alternatively,  at the loan's  observable  market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Prior to 1995, the allowance for
losses on notes receivable was based on the undiscounted  cash flows or the fair
value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans.

In accordance  with  Statement  No. 114, a loan is  classified  as  in-substance
foreclosure when the Company has taken  possession of the collateral  regardless
of  whether  formal   foreclosure   proceedings  take  place.  Notes  receivable
previously classified as in-substance foreclosed cable systems but for which the
Company had not taken  possession of the collateral  have been  reclassified  to
notes receivable.

At March 31, 1995,  the recorded  investment in notes that are  considered to be
impaired  under  Statement No. 114 was $108,000 for which the related  allowance
for losses is $29,000.  Generally,  notes  receivable are classified as impaired
and the accrual of interest on such notes are discontinued  when the contractual
payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or  management  has
serious doubts about further  collectibility  of the contractual  payments.  Any
payments  received  subsequent  to the  placement of the note  receivable  on to
impaired  status  will  generally  be  applied  towards  the  reduction  of  the
outstanding  note  receivable  balance,  which may  include  previously  accrued
interest as well as principal.  Once the principal and accrued  interest balance
has been reduced to zero,  the  remaining  payments  will be applied to interest
income.

Note 4.  Income Taxes:

Federal and state  income tax  regulations  provide  that taxes on the income or
loss of the  Partnership  are  reportable  by the  partners in their  individual
income tax returns.  Accordingly,  no provision  for such taxes has been made in
the accompanying financial statements.

Phoenix Concept  Cablevision,  Inc. (The Subsidiary) is a corporation subject to
state  and  federal  tax  regulations.  The  Subsidiary  reports  to the  taxing
authority  on the accrual  basis.  When income and expenses  are  recognized  in
different  periods  for  financial  reporting  purposes  than for tax  purposes,
deferred taxes are provided for such differences using the liability method.

Note 5.  Net Income (Loss) and Distributions Per Limited Partnership Unit:

Net income and  distributions  per  limited  partnership  unit were based on the
limited  partners'  share of net  income  and  distributions,  and the  weighted
average number of units  outstanding of 379,583 for the three months ended March
31, 1995 and 1994. For purposes of allocating income (loss) and distributions to
each individual limited partner, the Partnership allocates net income (loss) and
distributions  based  upon each  respective  limited  partner's  ending  capital
account balance.

Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund II and Subsidiary

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

Results of Operations

    Phoenix Leasing Cash  Distribution  Fund II and Subsidiary (the Partnership)
reported consolidated net income of $323,000 during the three months ended March
31, 1995, compared to net income of $503,000 during the same period in 1994.

    Total revenues decreased by $352,000 during the three months ended March 31,
1995, as compared to the same period in 1994.  This decrease is due primarily to
the  decreases  in rental  income of $272,000  and a  decreased  gain on sale of
equipment of $204,000  during the three months ended March 31, 1995, as compared
to the same period in 1994. The decrease in rental income is  attributable  to a
reduction in the size of the equipment portfolio due to ongoing equipment sales.
At March 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  owned  equipment  (excluding  its pro rata
interest in joint ventures) with an aggregate original cost of $11.3 million, as
compared to $35.4  million at March 31, 1994.  As the  Partnership  continues to
sell equipment upon  expiration of the lease terms,  it is anticipated  that the
equipment portfolio and rental income will continue to decrease.  In addition to
sales of  equipment,  depreciation  expense  from  leasing  activities  also has
declined as a result of a larger portion of the equipment  portfolio having been
fully depreciated.  Depreciation  expense from leasing  activities  increased by
$65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to 1994, resulting in
a net decrease in depreciation and amortization of $15,000.

    Another  factor  contributing  to the  reduction  in total  revenues  is the
decrease in gain on sale of equipment for the three months ended March 31, 1995,
as compared to the same period in 1994.  The decline in gain and  proceeds  from
sale of equipment is attributable to a decrease in the market value of equipment
sold. For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Partnership  received sales
proceeds of $172,000  from  equipment  with an aggregate  original  cost of $5.4
million,  as  compared  to sales  proceeds  of  $398,000  on  equipment  with an
aggregate original cost of $3.7 million sold during the three months ended March
31, 1994.

    Total expenses decreased by $167,000 during the three months ended March 31,
1995, as compared to the same period in 1994. The decrease in total expenses was
primarily  attributable  to the decrease in lease  related  operating  expenses.
Lease  related  operating  expense  decreased  due to decreases in  maintenance,
administrative  and residual  sharing  expenses on the  Partnership's  equipment
leased pursuant to a purchase  agreement with the manufacturer of the equipment.
These  expenses  decreased as a result of the decrease in the revenues  received
from this equipment.

Cable Television System:
- -------------------------
    The increase in cable subscriber revenue during the three months ended March
31, 1995, is  attributable to the  acquisition of a cable  television  system on
September 14, 1994. As a result,  there were no cable subscriber  revenue during
the three months ended March 31, 1994. The acquisition of this cable  television
system was also  responsible for the increases in program  services  expense and
general and administrative expenses.

Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund II and Subsidiary

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Partnership  intends to own and operate the cable system until such time
it can be sold. Any excess cash  generated  from  operations of the cable system
will be used for upgrades and capital  improvements to the cable system in order
to maximize the value of the system.  It is expected  that the cable  television
system will generate a positive cash flow from operations.

    The  Partnership's  primary  source of  liquidity  comes  from  leasing  and
financing  operations  either  directly  or  through  its  investments  in joint
ventures. The Partnership has contractual obligations with lessees and borrowers
for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts and will also receive  payments on
its  outstanding   notes   receivable.   As  the  initial  lease  terms  of  the
Partnership's  short term operating leases expire, the Partnership will continue
to renew, remarket or sell the equipment.  The future liquidity in excess of the
remaining contractual obligations will depend upon the General Partner's success
in re-leasing and selling the Partnership's equipment as it comes off lease.

    As another source of liquidity,  the Partnership owns a majority interest in
a cable television company that it acquired  ownership through  foreclosure on a
defaulted note receivable. This cable television company is expected to generate
a positive  cash flow,  which will first be used for  capital  improvements  and
upgrades  to the system in order to optimize  the value to be received  upon the
eventual sale of the system.  Any excess cash from operations or the sale of the
system  will then be  distributed  to the  Partnership  in  accordance  with its
ownership interest.

    The net cash generated by operating activities was $174,000 during the three
months  ended March 31,  1995,  as compared to $334,000  during the three months
ended March 31, 1994.  This  decrease is primarily  due to the decline in rental
income which is  attributable  to the reduction in the amount of equipment owned
by the Partnership.

    The aggregate original cost of equipment owned by the Partnership (including
its pro rata interest in joint  ventures) at March 31, 1995  approximates  $13.3
million,  as compared to $36.3  million at March 31, 1994.  The  Partnership  is
currently  in the  liquidation  stage  and as a result,  does not have  plans to
continue  to make any  significant  new  investments  in  equipment  leasing  or
financing transactions in the future.

    In  addition  to  acquiring  equipment  for  lease  to  third  parties,  the
Partnership  has provided  financing to cable  television  system  operators and
security  monitoring  companies.  The aggregate  original  amount of outstanding
financing  provided by the  Partnership  approximates  $3.6 million at March 31,
1995, as compared to $4.2 million at March 31, 1994.

    The  Partnership  owns  equipment  held for lease with an  original  cost of
$3,279,000  and a net book value of $8,000 at March 31,  1995,  as  compared  to
$14,008,000 and $60,000,  respectively at March 31, 1994. The General Partner is
actively engaged,  on behalf of the Partnership,  in remarketing and selling the
Partnership's off-lease equipment portfolio.

    In accordance with the Limited Partnership  Agreement,  the limited partners
are  entitled  to 95% of the cash  available  for  distribution  and the General
Partner  is  entitled  to  5%.  As  a  result,  the  limited  partners  received
distributions of $239,000 and $956,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively. The cumulative cash distributions to limited

partners  are   $79,254,000   and  $76,176,000  at  March  31,  1995  and  1994,
respectively.  The General Partner did not receive  distributions  for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  While the General  Partner is entitled to
receive 5% of the cash distributions,  it has voluntarily elected not to receive
payment for its share to the cash distributions.

    The  Partnership's  asset portfolio  continues to decline as a result of the
ongoing  liquidation  of assets,  and  therefore  it is  expected  that the cash
generated from operations  will also continue to decline.  If the cash generated
by Partnership  operations  continue to decline,  the rate of cash distributions
made to limited partners will also decline.  Distributions to partners  declined
during the three months ended March 31, 1995,  as compared to the same period in
1994. The Partnership anticipates making distributions for the remainder of 1995
at approximately the same rate as the first quarter of 1995.

    Cash  generated  from  leasing  and  financing  operations  has  been and is
anticipated  to continue to be  sufficient  to meet the  Partnership's  on-going
operational expenses.
