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

            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 $155,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996,  as
compared  to net  income  of  $323,000  during  the same  period  in  1995.  The
Partnership  reported decreases in both total revenues and total expenses during
the three months  ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to the same period in 1995.
However, the decrease in total revenues exceeded the decrease in total expenses,
causing the reduction in earnings.

     Total  revenues  decreased by $288,000  during the three months ended March
31,  1996,  as  compared  to the  same  period  in  1995.  The  primary  factors
contributing  to the  decrease in revenues  was a decreased  gain on the sale of
equipment and a decrease in rental income. The Partnership  reported a decreased
gain on the sale of  equipment  of $160,000  during the three months ended March
31, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. The decreased gain on the sale
of equipment is reflective of a decrease in the amount of equipment  sold during
1996,  as  compared  to the same  period in 1995.  Rental  income  decreased  by
$102,000  during the three months ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to the same
period in 1995. The decrease in rental income is  attributable to a reduction in
the size of the equipment  portfolio  due to the ongoing sale of  equipment.  At
March 31, 1996, the Partnership's lease portfolio consisted of equipment with an
aggregate  original cost of $6.3 million,  as compared to $11.3 million at March
31, 1995. 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 the decreases  mentioned  above,  the  Partnership  reported
smaller decreases in all other income  categories  except for other income.  The
small increase in other income was  attributable to increases in interest income
earned on cash and cash equivalents,  a result of the Partnership  maintaining a
higher  average  cash balance  during the three months ended March 31, 1996,  as
compared to the same period in 1995.

     Total  expenses  decreased by $120,000  during the three months ended March
31, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease in total expenses
is attributable to decreases in all expense  categories,  except for general and
administrative  expense.  The largest  decrease in expenses  came from a $32,000
decrease in  depreciation  and  amortization  expense and a $66,000  decrease in
lease related operating expenses.

     Lease related operating expenses decreased due to decreases in maintenance,
administrative  and  residual  sharing  expenses  incurred by 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 and amortization  expense  decreased due to a reduction in the
size of the  equipment  portfolio  due to the  ongoing  sale of  equipment.  The
Partnership is currently in its liquidation stage and is not expected to acquire
any  additional  equipment.  The  Partnership  will reach the end of its term on
December 31, 1997.

Cable Television System:

     Cable subscriber revenues decreased  approximately $13,000 during the three
months  ended March 31,  1996,  as  compared  to the same  period in 1995.  This
decrease is  attributable to the cable system offering free cable service to its
subscribers for the month of March 1996 as a special promotion.

Joint Ventures:

     The  Partnership  reported a decrease  in earnings  from joint  ventures of
$15,000  during the three months  ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to the same
period in 1995. The decrease in earnings is reflective of a decrease in earnings
from one joint  venture due to a decrease in rental  revenues.  The  decrease in
rental revenues was caused by a decrease in the amount of equipment owned by the
joint venture due to the ongoing sale of equipment.

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 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  Partnership  reported net cash  generated by operating  activities  of
$125,000  during the three months ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to $174,000
during the same  period in 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.

     The  Partnership  owned  equipment  held for lease with an original cost of
$1,581,000  and a net  book  value of $0 at  March  31,  1996,  as  compared  to
$3,279,000 and $8,000,  respectively  at March 31, 1995. The General  Partner is
actively engaged,  on behalf of the Partnership,  in remarketing and selling the
Partnership's off-lease equipment portfolio.

     The cash  distributed  to partners  was  $239,000 for both the three months
ended  March 31,  1996 and 1995.  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  for both the three  months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995. The cumulative cash  distributions  to limited partners
are $80,203,000 and  $79,254,000 at March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The
General Partner did not receive  distributions  for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995.  While the  General  Partner is entitled to receive 5% of the
cash  distributions,  it has voluntarily  elected not to receive payment at this
time for its share of 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.  The  Partnership has
switched from a quarterly  distribution plan to an annual distribution plan. The
next distribution to partners is anticipated to be made on January 15, 1997.

     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.
