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  1995  amounts  have been  reclassified  to
conform to the 1996 presentation.

Note 3.  Notes Receivable.

         Impaired  Notes  Receivable.   At  September  30,  1996,  the  recorded
investment in notes that are considered to be impaired  under  Statement No. 114
was  $1,712,000  included in this amount is $32,000 of impaired  notes for which
the related allowance for losses is $23,000 and $1,680,000 of impaired notes for
which there is no allowance..  The average recorded investment in impaired loans

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.

            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 net income of $223,000 and $555,000 for the three and nine
months  ended  September  30,  1996,  respectively,  compared  to net  income of
$546,000 and $1,019,000 for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1995,
respectively.

       Total revenues  decreased by $607,000 and $980,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods
in 1995.  The decrease in total  revenues  during both periods was primarily the
result of decreases  in interest  income from notes  receivable  and a decreased
gain on sale of  equipment.  The  decrease in the gain on sale of  equipment  is
primarily the result of a decrease in the amount of equipment sold, as well as a
decrease in the market value of an aging  equipment  portfolio.  During the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the  Partnership  sold  equipment  with an
aggregate  original  cost of $1.5  million,  as compared to the $8.1  million of
equipment sold during the same period in 1995.

       The decrease in interest  income from notes  receivable for the three and
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  is  attributable  to the payoff of a
defaulted note  receivable  from a cable  television  system operator during the
third  quarter of 1995.  The  partnership  had suspended the accrual of interest
income on this note.  Upon payoff,  the proceeds were first applied  against the
outstanding balance, with the excess proceeds recognized as interest income.

       Total  expenses  decreased by $282,000 and $497,000  during the three and
nine months  ended  September  30, 1996,  respectively,  as compared to the same
periods in 1995. The largest  decrease came from  depreciation and lease related
operating expenses.  Lease related operating expenses 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. Depreciation decreased as
the  result  of an  increasing  portion  of the  Partnership's  equipment  lease
portfolio reaching the end of its depreciable life.

Joint Ventures:

       The Partnership reported a small decrease in earnings from joint ventures
of $37,000 and  $65,000  during the three and nine months  ended  September  30,
1996,  respectively,  as compared to the same  periods in 1995.  The decrease in
earnings is reflective of a decrease in rental income from one joint venture,  a
result of the ongoing liquidation of the joint venture's equipment portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       The  Partnership's  primary  source of  liquidity  comes from leasing and
financing operations.  The Partnership has contractual  obligations with lessees
and  borrowers for fixed terms at fixed  payment  amounts.  The liquidity of the
Partnership  is  dependent  upon its  success in  collecting  these  contractual
payments  owed  the  Partnership.   As  the  initial  lease  terms  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 maximize  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  Partnership  reported net cash  generated by leasing,  financing and
cable  television  operations of $536,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 1996, as compared to $1,324,000  during the nine months ended  September 30,
1995. This decrease is due to the decline in rental income which is attributable
to the reduction in the amount of equipment owned by the  Partnership.  Proceeds
from the sale of equipment  decreased  by $236,000  during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995, due to a decrease in
the amount of equipment sold.

       The limited partners received  distributions of $239,000 and $709,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The cumulative
cash  distributions  to limited  partners are  $80,203,000  and  $79,725,000  at
September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The General Partner did not receive
distributions  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  While the
General  Partner is  entitled  to receive 5% of the cash  distributions,  it has
voluntarily   elected  not  to  receive  payment  for  its  share  of  the  cash
distributions at this time.

       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  declined during the
nine months ended  September  30, 1996,  as compared to the same period in 1995.
The Partnership made its last quarterly distribution on January 15, 1996. Future
distributions  to  partners  will be made  on an  annual  basis  with  the  next
distribution  scheduled to be made on January 15, 1997. The  distribution  to be
made to partners on January 15, 1997 is anticipated  to be slightly  higher than
the January 15, 1996 distribution  amount. The Partnership will reach the end of
its term on December 31, 1997,  at which time it will  liquidate  its  remaining
assets and make a final distribution to partners of the excess cash, if any.

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