ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Capital  Associates,  Inc.  ("CAI"),  was  incorporated  as a holding company in
October  1986.   Its  principal   operating   subsidiary,   Capital   Associates
International,  Inc.  ("CAII"),  was  incorporated  in  December  1976.  Capital
Associates,  Inc., is principally  engaged in (1) buying,  selling,  leasing and
remarketing new and used equipment, (2) managing equipment on and off-lease, (3)
sponsoring,  co-sponsoring,  managing and co-managing publicly-registered income
funds and (4) arranging equipment-related financing.

HISTORICAL BUSINESS AND FISCAL YEAR 1995 SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Prior to fiscal year 1987,  the Company's  principal  business was (1) brokering
tax-advantaged,  high-technology  equipment lease  transactions  to, and for the
benefit of, third party investors and (2) remarketing high technology equipment.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 effectively  eliminated  substantially all of the tax
benefits associated with that business for individual investors.  For the period
fiscal year 1987  through the end of fiscal year 1991,  the Company  shifted its
principal  business to originating  leases for its own account while at the same
time continuing to (a) broker  tax-advantaged  equipment lease  transactions to,
and for the benefit, of corporate investors and (b) remarketing  equipment.  The
Company  financed its equity  investment in new lease  originations  during this
period with funds drawn on its short-term recourse debt facility.

The Company  reported  net losses of  $6,177,000,  $13,630,000  and  $16,066,000
during fiscal years 1992, 1991 and 1990, respectively, in part due to the change
in its business and the changes in the tax laws  described  above.  Beginning in
the first  quarter of fiscal year 1991,  the Company  agreed with its lenders to
begin repaying its short-term  recourse debt facility.  Thereafter,  through the
end of the second quarter of fiscal year 1995 (the "Restructuring Period") , the
Company  used  substantially  all of its cash flow after  payment  of  operating
expenses to repay its short-term  recourse debt facility.  As a result of making
these  payments,  the  Company did not have the funds  during the  Restructuring
Period to add new  leases to its own lease  portfolio  and the  Company's  lease
portfolio and related revenue declined significantly during this period.

During  fiscal  years 1995,  1994 and 1993,  the Company  reported net income of
$1,116,000,  $710,000,  and  $1,396,000,  respectively,  and twelve  consecutive
profitable quarters. During fiscal year 1995, the Company:

*    refinanced its  short-term  recourse debt facility with a new recourse debt
     facility  with a new senior bank lending  group in December  1994;  the new
     recourse  debt  facility  (the "Debt  Facility")  consists of a $32 million
     warehousing  facility  (the  "Warehouse  Facility"),  a $5 million  working
     capital  facility  (the  "Working  Capital  Facility")  and a $13  million,
     three-year term loan (the "Term Loan")

*    favorably  resolved  several  legal  proceedings  in which it was involved,
     including the MBank litigation which had been ongoing since early 1992; the
     Company received  approximately $8.4 million in settlement of its claims in
     the MBank litigation;

*    raised $24 million through the offering of Class A Limited Partner Units in
     Capital Preferred Yield Fund III, the Company's sixth public income fund

*    sold  one  jet  aircraft  and  placed a  previously  non-earning $5 million
     aircraft under lease

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS, continued

HISTORICAL BUSINESS AND FISCAL YEAR 1995 SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS, continued

The  ability of the  Company to operate  profitably  in the future  will  depend
largely on the amount of new  capital  available  to the Company and the cost of
that capital.  The Company  continues to explore possible sources of new capital
including, for example, obtaining new or additional recourse debt, obtaining new
equity capital (which could include a sale of the Company, possibly coupled with
an infusions of new funds from the  purchaser  into the  Company),  securitizing
lease transactions,  obtaining equity capital from private investor purchases of
equipment  leases  originated  by the Company  and/or  entering  into  strategic
alliances/combinations  with other leasing or financial services companies.  The
Company  intends to invest any new capital that it obtains in leases for its own
portfolio.  If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining new capital, the ability
of the Company to continue to operate  profitably  will depend on (1)  equipment
sales margins from new lease  originations,  (2) originating  leases for its own
account with a substantial rate spread, (3) remarketing of equipment at a profit
and (4) further reducing its operating costs.

LEASING ACTIVITIES

All of the  Company's  leases  are  noncancelable  "net"  leases  which  contain
provisions  under which the customer must make all lease payments  regardless of
any  defects in the  equipment  and which  require  the  customer  to insure the
equipment against casualty loss, and pay all related  property,  sales and other
taxes. The Company originates two basic types of leases, direct financing leases
("DFLs") and operating  leases  ("OLs").  Under  generally  accepted  accounting
principles ("GAAP"),  the primary  distinguishing factor between these two types
of  leases is the  present  value of the  rents in  relation  to the cost of the
leased equipment. In the case of a DFL, the Company is contractually entitled to
recover  at least  90% of its  original  investment  in the  equipment  from the
present value of the initial lease rentals. In the case of an OL, the Company is
contractually  entitled to recover less than 90% of its original  investment  in
the equipment from the present value of the initial lease rentals. As of May 31,
1995, the Company's net investment in DFLs was approximately $14 million and its
net  investment  in OLs was  approximately  $20 million.  See Note 1 to Notes to
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for a detailed  discussion of the Company's
lease accounting policies.

Leases are  originated  for the Company's  own account,  its public income funds
(the "PIFs") and private  third party  purchasers  of  equipment.  The Company's
lease  origination  marketing  strategy is transaction  driven.  With each lease
origination  opportunity,  the Company evaluates both the prospective lessee and
the equipment to be leased.  With respect to each potential lessee,  the Company
evaluates the lessee's  credit  worthiness.  With respect to the equipment,  the
Company  evaluates the remarketing,  upgrade  potential and the probability that
the lessee will renew the lease or return the equipment at the end of the lease,
as well as its importance to the lessee's business.

Prior to fiscal year 1991, more than 50% of the equipment  leases  originated by
the Company consisted of office technology equipment,  including data processing
and communications equipment. Since then, the Company has de-emphasized computer
equipment and  diversified  its own equipment  lease  portfolio (as well as, the
equipment  portfolio it manages for private investors and the PIFs) to include a
wide variety of high technology  equipment as well as transportation  equipment,
materials  handling  equipment,   manufacturing  equipment,   office  automation
equipment,  retail equipment,  medical equipment,  mining equipment,  industrial
equipment,  construction equipment,  furniture, fixtures and equipment and other
equipment that meets the Company's underwriting standards.

The Company  leases  equipment to lessees in diverse  industries  throughout the
United States.  To minimize credit risk, the Company  generally leases equipment
to (1) lessees that have a credit  rating of not less than Baa as  determined by
Moody's Investor  Services,  Inc., or comparable credit ratings as determined by
other recognized  credit rating services,  or (2) companies,  which although not
rated by a recognized  credit rating service or rated below Baa, are believed by
the Company to be sufficiently creditworthy to satisfy the financial obligations
under the lease. As of May 31, 1995, approximately 79% of the equipment owned by
the Company was leased to companies that meet the above criteria.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS, continued

LEASING ACTIVITIES, continued

The Company finances  equipment  purchases with the proceeds of borrowings under
its Warehouse Facility,  pending the sale of the equipment to a private investor
or  PIF,  the  permanent   non-recourse   financing  of  the  equipment  or  the
securitization  of the  equipment/lease  for its  own  account.  In the  case of
equipment   financed   with   permanent   non-recourse   debt   or   securitized
equipment/leases,  it is the  Company's  policy to  recover  all but its  equity
investment  in the equipment at the time it closes the  financing,  and all such
borrowings  are secured by a first lien on the  equipment  and the related lease
rental payments. The Company recovers its equity investment in equipment for its
own account from renewal rents received and/or sales proceeds  realized from the
equipment after repayment in full of the related permanent  non-recourse debt or
securitization funding.

The Company's  level of lease  originations  declined  significantly  during the
Restructuring Period. During that period, the Company sold substantially all new
lease  originations to its PIFs and retained very few lease originations for its
own account.  Since the closing of the Company's new Debt Facility,  the Company
has resumed  originating more leases for its own account.  Lease originations of
approximately  $96 million for fiscal 1995 were financed  through $44 million of
sales to the PIFs,  $25 million of sales to private  investors,  discounting  $8
million of  noncancelable  lease rentals to various  financial  institutions  at
fixed rates on a nonrecourse  basis, and the remainder for the Company's account
of approximately $19 million through the use of the Company's Debt Facility.

No payments from any single  lessee  during fiscal year 1995  accounted for more
than ten percent (10%) of the  Company's  consolidated  revenues.  During fiscal
years 1995, 1994 and 1993,  revenue from leasing activities was approximately $8
million $13 million and $26 million, respectively.


UNDERWRITING STANDARDS

All  initial  leases are  subject  to review  under the  Company's  underwriting
standards.  Each  potential  lessee is  assigned a credit  risk rating of 1 (the
highest  rating)  through 6 (the lowest  rating),  based on the  application  of
specific  criteria  during the credit  review  process.  The Company  originates
leases for its own account  that have a credit  rating of 1, 2 or 3. The Company
originates  leases for its PIFs consistent with each PIF's own lease origination
standards, which are similar to those of the Company.

The Company's  Transaction  Review  Committee (the "TRC"),  which is composed of
members of senior  management,  (1) reviews and approves all material aspects of
lease  transactions,  the credit ratings assigned to lessees and certain pricing
and residual value assumptions,  (2) advises on lease documentation requirements
and deal structuring guidelines, (3) is responsible for monitoring asset quality
on an on-going basis in order to estimate and assess the net realizable value at
the end of the lease term for the  Company's  equipment  and for  reviewing  and
approving  the quarterly  Asset  Quality  Report and (4) revises and updates the
underwriting standards, when and as necessary.  Generally, all transactions over
$3,000,000 must also be approved by a sub-committee of the Board of Directors.


REMARKETING ACTIVITIES

Remarketing activities consist of (1) lease portfolio management (i.e., managing
equipment  under  lease)  and (2) asset  management  (i.e.,  managing  off-lease
equipment). Revenue from remarketing activities was approximately $5 million, $9
million and $20 million during fiscal years 1995,  1994 and 1993,  respectively.
One of the  Company's  principal  goals is to minimize  off-lease  equipment  by
proactively  managing such equipment while it is under lease (e.g.,  renewing or
extending the lease, or re-leasing,  upgrading or adding to the equipment before
the  end of the  initial  lease  term),  and by  selling  such  equipment  after
termination of the lease if it cannot be profitably re-leased.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS, continued

REMARKETING ACTIVITIES, continued

The Company attempts to maximize the remarketing proceeds from, and minimize the
warehousing  costs for,  off-lease  equipment  by (1)  employing  qualified  and
experienced   remarketing   personnel,   (2)  developing  equipment  remarketing
expertise in order to maximize the profit from sales of off-lease equipment, (3)
minimizing the amount of off-lease  equipment stored at  independently  operated
equipment  warehouses and thereby  reducing  warehousing  costs, (4) leasing and
operating  its own general  equipment  warehouse to further  reduce  warehousing
costs,  (5)  eliminating  scrap inventory from the warehouses and (6) conducting
on-site equipment inspections.  The Company further supports these activities by
carefully  monitoring  the  residual  values  of  its  equipment  portfolio  and
maintaining  adequate  reserves  on its books,  when and as  needed,  to reflect
anticipated  future  reductions  in such  values due to  obsolescence  and other
factors.

PRIVATE INVESTOR PROGRAMS, EQUITY SYNDICATIONS AND PIFS

The  Company  sells  ownership  interests  in leased  equipment  to  third-party
investors.  The Company sold  approximately  $25 million,  $43 million,  and $14
million of equipment to private  investors  during  fiscal years 1995,  1994 and
1993,  respectively.  The  Company  receives  fees  upon  sale of its  ownership
interests  in  its  leased  equipment.  In  addition,  the  Company  may  retain
participation interests in the residual value of such sold leased equipment.

The Company  currently  sponsors or  co-sponsors  six PIFs.  The Company sells a
significant  portion of the  equipment  it acquires  for lease to its PIFs.  The
Company sold approximately $44 million, $70 million and $62 million of equipment
to its PIFs during  fiscal  years  1995,  1994 and 1993,  respectively.  Various
subsidiaries  and  affiliates  of the  Company  act as the  general  partners or
co-general  partners of the PIFs.  In  addition,  CAII  contributes  cash and/or
equipment to each PIF in exchange for a Class B limited partner interest ("Class
B interest").  Public  investors  purchase units of Class A limited  partnership
interest  ("Class A units") for cash,  which the PIFs use to purchase  equipment
on-lease  to lessees.  The  Company  receives  (1) fees for  performing  various
services for the PIFs (subject to certain dollar limits),  (2) reimbursement for
organizational  and  offering  expenses  incurred  in selling  the Class A Units
(subject to certain dollar limits),  (3) Class B partner cash distributions from
each PIF (subordinated to the cash returns on the Class A Units) and (4) general
partner cash distributions.

Capital  Preferred  Yield  Fund-III is the only PIF currently  offering  Class A
units  for sale to the  public.  In the  aggregate,  the six PIFs have sold $295
million of Class A units to the public  through May 31, 1995.  Up to $26 million
of Class A units will be offered for sale to the public during fiscal year 1996.
CAII's maximum remaining  obligation to make Class B partner cash  contributions
is $0.3 million.

COMPETITION

The Company  competes mainly on the basis of its remarketing  capability,  terms
offered in its leasing transactions,  reliability in meeting its commitments and
customer service.  The Company's continued ability to compete effectively may be
materially  affected  by the  availability  of  financing,  the  costs  of  such
financing,  and the marketplace for public income fund investments.  The Company
competes  with a large number of equipment  lessors,  many of which have greater
financial resources,  greater economies of scale and lower costs of capital than
the Company.

EMPLOYEES

The Company had 92 employees  as of May 31, 1995 versus 114  employees as of May
31, 1994, none of whom were  represented by a labor union.  The Company believes
that its employee relations are good.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company  leases  office  facilities  (approximately  20,000  square feet) in
Lakewood,  Colorado (a suburb of Denver).  These  facilities house the Company's
administrative,  financing and marketing  operations and were  consolidated from
approximately  43,000  square feet as of June 1, 1995.  The  Lakewood,  Colorado
lease is for a term of 5 years,  with 5 years  remaining in the term, and with a
base rent,  as of May 31,  1995,  of  approximately  $27,000  per month,  plus a
pro-rata share of building costs and expenses.  The Lakewood,  Colorado facility
adequately  provides  for present and future  needs,  as currently  planned.  In
addition, the Company leases a warehouse facility and regional marketing offices
at an aggregate rental of approximately $110,000 per year.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in the following legal proceedings:

a.  THE MBANK LITIGATION.  See  Footnote 15 to Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
    Statements  appearing  elsewhere  herein  for  a  description  of  the MBank
    Litigation.

b.  THE PAINEWEBBER CLASS ACTION.   A series of class actions have been filed in
    the  United  States  District  Court  for  the Southern District of New York
    against  PaineWebber   Incorporated   ("PaineWebber")  and  certain  of  its
    affiliates  in   connection  with  its  sale   and  sponsorship  of  limited
    partnership  units  in  various  limited   partnerships,  one  of  which  is
    PaineWebber  Preferred  Yield  Fund  L.P., one  of the  Company's PIFs.  The
    Company   and   its  subsidiary,   CAI   Equipment  Leasing  II  Corporation
    ("CAIEL II"), are not named defendants in these class actions.   On July 27,
    1995 PaineWebber announced that  it (1) was taking a one-time charge of $200
    million  during  its second  quarter  of 1995 to cover the financial cost of
    resolving these  actions  and other  related claims and (2) hoped to resolve
    these  actions  within  ninety  (90)  days  of the date of its announcement.
    Management believes  that the PaineWebber Class Action Lawsuit will not have
    a  material  adverse  effect on the financial condition or operations of the
    Company or CAIEL II.

c.  The Company is also involved  in routine legal proceedings incidental to the
    conduct  of its  business.   Management  believes  that none of these  legal
    proceedings  will have a material adverse effect on the financial  condition
    or operations of the Company.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters  submitted to a vote of security  holders during the three
months ended May 31, 1995.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters

The  Company's  common  stock  trades  on the  Nasdaq  National Market under the
symbol:  CAII.

On June 2, 1995, the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq"),  informed the Company
that it was not in compliance  with the minimum $1.00 bid price  requirement (or
the  alternative  $3 million  value of public float  requirement)  for continued
listing  of its Common  Stock on the  Nasdaq  National  Market  (both  tests are
collectively referred to herein as the "Stock Price Requirement").  At a hearing
in front of Nasdaq on July 13, 1995, the Company  requested an extension of time
to comply with the Stock Price  Requirement.  By letter,  dated  August 2, 1995,
Nasdaq (1) agreed to extend  the period of time for the  Company to comply  with
the Stock Price Requirement through August 31, 1995, and (2) advised the Company
that if the Company is unable to comply with the Stock Price requirement by that
date, the Company will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq  National  Market.  The
Company  intends to seek a further  extension of time beyond  August 31, 1995 to
comply with the Stock Price  Requirement  if it is not in  compliance  with such
requirements  as of August 31, 1995.  No assurance can be given that the Company
will be able to obtain such further  extension of time.  If the Company does not
satisfy the Stock Price  Requirement  as of August 31, 1995, and cannot obtain a
further extension of time to comply with such requirement,  the Company's Common
Stock will be  delisted  from the Nasdaq  National  Market and will most  likely
thereafter be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations


I.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     During the preceding  five fiscal years,  revenue and assets have declined.
     The reason for this is that, during the Restructuring  Period,  the Company
     used substantially all of its cash flow after payment of operating expenses
     to repay its prior short-term recourse debt facility. As a result of making
     these  payments,  and until the  Company  closed its new Debt  Facility  in
     December   1994,   the  Company  did  not  have  the  funds   necessary  to
     significantly  add to its leasing  portfolio.  Because a leasing  portfolio
     declines  in  size  as  it  matures,  these  circumstances  resulted  in  a
     substantial  decline in the  Company's  own leasing  portfolio  and related
     revenue (referred to in this discussion as "portfolio run-off").

     The Company  originates  leases for its own account and for sale to private
     investors and its PIFs.  Leasing is an alternative  to financing  equipment
     with debt. Therefore,  the ultimate  profitability of the Company's leasing
     transactions is dependent, in part, on the general level of interest rates.
     Lease rates tend to rise and fall with interest rates,  although lease rate
     movements generally lag interest rate movements.

     Because the Company  finances  its lease  transactions  with  recourse  and
     non-recourse  debt, the ultimate  profitability of leasing  transactions is
     dependent, in part, on the difference between the interest rate inherent in
     the lease and the  underlying  debt rate  ("rate  spread").  Certain of the
     Company's  competitors have access to lower cost funds than the Company. As
     a result,  the  Company is at a  competitive  disadvantage  in pricing  new
     leasing  transactions  because the Company  cannot  achieve rate spreads as
     great as some of its  competitors,  or cannot  drop  rates to win new lease
     transactions and remain profitable.

     During fiscal years 1994 and 1995, the Company's business plan provided for
     originating  mostly DFLs financed with permanent  non-recourse debt for its
     own account  because such leases report  constant  returns (after  interest
     expense on related non-recourse debt) over the term of the DFLs (as opposed
     to OLs,  which report lower  returns  during the early term of the leases).
     The presently low interest rate environment and the expansion by commercial
     banks of their leasing  activities  have reduced the  availability  of high
     quality DFLs.  Accordingly,  the Company's  1996 business plan provides for
     originating mostly OLs for its account.

     Presented below are schedules showing condensed income statement categories
     and  analyses of changes in those  condensed  categories  derived  from the
     Consolidated  Statements of Income  appearing on page F-4 of this report on
     Form 10-K,  prepared  solely to  facilitate  the  discussion  of results of
     operations (in thousands).

     EQUIPMENT SALES, continued

     To  partially  offset the effect on income of portfolio  run-off  while the
     Company is growing its lease portfolio,  one of the Company's strategies is
     to increase sales margins from equipment sold during its initial lease term
     to offset the decrease in sales  margins from  transactions  subsequent  to
     initial lease termination.  In the ordinary course of business, the Company
     will (1) sell new lease  originations  to its PIFs (to the  extent the PIFs
     have funds  available for such  purpose) or private  investors and (2) sell
     seasoned  lease  transactions  (previously  originated  leases  held in the
     Company's portfolio) to private investors.  To the extent sales of seasoned
     leases exceed new lease  originations,  growth in the  Company's  portfolio
     will be slower.


     EQUIPMENT SALES TO PIFS

     Equipment sales to the PIFs were lower during fiscal year 1995, as compared
     to fiscal  year  1994,  primarily  because  (1) the PIFs  were  more  fully
     leveraged  during  fiscal  year 1995  and,  therefore,  had less  available
     borrowing  capacity to acquire  additional  equipment and (2) only one PIF,
     CPYF-III,  was offering Class A units for sale. Continuing to offer Class A
     units in CPYF-III for sale is a principal operating goal of the Company and
     to accomplish that goal, the Company almost doubled its PIF marketing staff
     of wholesalers by the end of fiscal year 1995.

     Equipment  sales to PIFs  increased  during fiscal year 1994 as compared to
     fiscal  year 1993,  principally  because  more leases  that  satisfied  the
     Company's  underwriting  standards were identified,  in part as a result of
     the opening of new sales offices.


     EQUIPMENT SALES TO PRIVATE INVESTORS

     Equipment sales to private investors for fiscal year 1994 included sales of
     approximately $14 million of "seasoned" leases (i.e., previously originated
     leases held in the Company's  portfolio) and  approximately  $29 million of
     new lease  originations.  This  compares  to fiscal  year 1995  amounts  of
     approximately  $5 million  and $20 million  for  "seasoned"  leases and new
     lease  originations,  respectively.  Equipment  sales to private  investors
     during fiscal year 1995 were less than in the prior year primarily  because
     lease originations  identified for sale to private investors were less than
     the prior year.  The  continued  development  of a customer base of private
     investors  and  growth  in new  lease  originations  suitable  for  private
     equipment sales are principal operating goals of the Company.


     MBANK SALE PROCEEDS

     The increase in equipment  sales margin during fiscal year 1995 as compared
     to fiscal year 1994 is due to the MBank sale.  The  parties  settled  their
     claims to the cash  collateral for the original MBank lease and the Company
     received  approximately  $8.4  million  from  the cash  collateral  for the
     original  MBank  lease (net of amounts  the Company has agreed to refund to
     BankOne,  Texas N.A.). The Company recorded $6.1 million in equipment sales
     margin from the MBank sale (i.e.,  proceeds of  approximately  $8.4 million
     less a carrying value of approximately $2.3 million).

     REMARKETING OF THE PORTFOLIO AND RELATED PROVISION FOR LOSSES

     The  remarketing  of equipment for an amount greater than its book value is
     reported as equipment sales margin (if the equipment is sold) or as leasing
     margin (if the equipment is  re-leased).  The  realization of less than the
     carrying value of equipment (which is typically not known until remarketing
     subsequent  to the initial lease  termination  has occurred) is recorded as
     provision for losses.  As shown in the tables above, the realizations  from
     sales  exceeded the  provision  for losses for fiscal years 1995,  1994 and
     1993, even without  considering  realizations  from remarketing  activities
     recorded  as  leasing  margin as  discussed  below.  This  circumstance  of
     realizing  in  excess  of the  aggregate  carrying  value on the  Company's
     portfolio has occurred in each of the last twelve quarters.

     Margins from  remarketing  sales (i.e.,  sales  occurring after the initial
     lease term) are affected by the amount of equipment  leases that matures in
     a  particular  quarter.  In  general,  as the size of the  Company's  lease
     portfolio declines, fewer leases mature and less equipment is available for
     remarketing each quarter. As a result,  remarketing revenue and the related
     margin  declined  during  both  fiscal year 1995 as compared to fiscal year
     1994,  and fiscal year 1994 as  compared  to fiscal year 1993.  Remarketing
     revenue and margin are  expected  to decline  further as  portfolio  runoff
     continues.   The  Company's  ability  to  remarket  additional  amounts  of
     equipment  and realize a greater  amount of  remarketing  revenue in future
     periods is dependent on adding additional leases to its portfolio. However,
     adding  leases to the  Company's  portfolio  will not  offset the effect of
     portfolio  runoff  because new leases  typically are not  remarketed  until
     after their initial term (which averages three to four years).

     Residual values are established equal to the estimated value to be received
     from the equipment  following  termination of the lease. In estimating such
     values,  the Company  considers all relevant facts  regarding the equipment
     and the lessee, including, for example, the likelihood that the lessee will
     re-lease the equipment.  The nature of the Company's leasing  activities is
     that it has credit  exposure and residual value exposure and,  accordingly,
     in the ordinary  course of business it will incur losses arising from these
     exposures. The Company performs ongoing quarterly assessments of its assets
     to identify other than temporary losses in value.

     The provision for losses of $2.9 million  recorded  during fiscal year 1995
     included $2.3 million  recorded  during the fourth fiscal quarter 1995. The
     provision  for losses for the  fiscal  year  included  the  following  more
     significant items:

     *   approximately $750,000 to record the Company's loss exposure related to
         approximately  $3 million of net book  value of  equipment  leased to a
         lessee who filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy during July 1995

     *   approximately $550,000 recorded to write-down the carrying value of IBM
         equipment  retained  residuals to fair market values based upon current
         third-party quotes

     *   approximately $500,000 for equipment originally expected to remain with
         the lessee upon lease  termination  which the Company now believes will
         be returned

     *   approximately $400,000 recorded to write-down the carrying value of one
         of  the  Company's  aircraft  to  fair  market  value  because  of  the
         deteriorating financial condition of the lessee at May 31, 1995

     *   approximately $250,000 to record the Company's loss exposure related to
         approximately $350,000 of net book value of equipment leased to another
         lessee that filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy during December 1994.

     Leasing  margin  has declined  as  a result  of  portfolio  run-off  and is
     expected to decline further until the  Company has  significantly  added to
     its lease portfolio. See the discussion under "Business Plan" below.

     As discussed under  "Business Plan" below,  the Company intends to continue
     to grow  its  lease  portfolio  in the  future,  subject  to  profitability
     considerations from  immediate  sale of leases  as  discussed  above.   The
     Company's equipment  under lease  increased for the first time since fiscal
     year 1991.  The  changes in the Company's equipment  under lease during the
     fiscal year ended May 31, 1995 consisted of the following (in thousands):

     Other than fees and distributions from the company-sponsored  PIFs, most of
     the transactions above are "one-time"  transactions and,  accordingly,  the
     Company does not expect  to  realize  material  amounts in the future  with
     respect to the Other Income items listed above.

     OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENSES

     Operating and other expenses decreased  approximately $0.7 million (6%) for
     fiscal year 1995, compared to fiscal  year 1994 due to on-going  efforts to
     minimize costs.

     Operating and other expenses decreased approximately $1.8 million (12%) for
     fiscal  year  1994,   compared  to  fiscal  year  1993.  The  decrease  was
     principally due  to (1)  approximately  $0.4  million  from  reductions  in
     restructuring costs,  related  to the Company's  prior debt  facility,  (2)
     approximately $0.8 million  from compensation  expense reductions and (3) a
     reduction of approximately $0.6 million in legal fees.

     INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

     Interest income on discounted lease rentals arises when equipment  financed
     with non-recourse debt is sold to investors. The Consolidated Statements of
     Income include an equal amount of interest expense. The decline in interest
     income and non-recourse debt interest expense is due to portfolio run-off.

     Over the last three fiscal years,  the  decrease in recourse  debt interest
     expense reflects the decline in interest rates and the continuing reduction
     in the outstanding balance of the Company's Debt Facility.

     INCOME TAXES

     Income tax expense is provided on income at the appropriate statutory rates
     applicable to such earnings.  The appropriate statutory tax rate for fiscal
     years 1995, 1994 and 1993 was 40%.  Adjustments to the valuation  allowance
     are  recognized  as a separate  component of the  provision  for income tax
     expense.  Consequently, the actual  income  tax rate for 1995 was less than
     the effective rate of 40% due to the reduction  in the valuation  allowance
     of $230,000.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

I.   RESULT OF OPERATIONS, continued

     INCOME TAXES, continued

     Income tax  expense  does not  reflect  actual tax  payments by the Company
     because net operating loss ("NOL")  carryforwards and investment tax credit
     ("ITC")  carryforwards  were utilized to offset taxable income.  At May 31,
     1995,  the Company had fully  utilized  all  remaining  NOL  carryforwards.
     During  1995,  the  Company  paid  alternative  minimum tax ("AMT") of $1.6
     million.  The deferred tax asset balance at May 31, 1995 primarily reflects
     the payment of, and anticipated future recovery of, such amount.

     As shown in the  table  in Note 11 to Notes to the  Consolidated  Financial
     Statements, the Company's significant deferred tax assets consist of an ITC
     carryforward  of $7.4 million  (which  expire from 1996  through  2001) and
     alternative  minimum tax  ("AMT")  credits of $3.3  million  (which are not
     subject to  expiration).  These tax assets are available to offset  federal
     income  tax  liability.  However,  the amount of ITC  carryforward  and AMT
     credits  that may be  utilized  to reduce tax  liability  is  significantly
     limited in computing AMT liability.  As a result of this  limitation on the
     ITC  carryforward,  the Company has  established a valuation  allowance for
     deferred tax assets to reflect the  uncertainty  that the ITC  carryforward
     will be fully  utilized  prior to  expiration.  During 1995,  the valuation
     allowance   was  reduced  by  $230,000  to  reflect   utilization   of  ITC
     carryforward for which a valuation allowance had previously been provided.

 II. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's  activities  are  principally  funded by its Working  Capital
     Facility  and  Warehouse  Facility  (see  Note 9 to Notes  to  Consolidated
     Financial Statements), rents, proceeds from sales of on-lease equipment (to
     its  PIFs  and  third  party  investors),   non-recourse   debt,  fees  and
     distributions  from its PIFs,  sales or re-leases  of  equipment  after the
     expiration of the initial lease terms and other cash  receipts.  Management
     believes  the  Company's  ability  to  generate  cash  from  operations  is
     sufficient to fund operations,  particularly  when operations are viewed as
     including investing and financing activities.

     To  reverse  the  effects  of  portfolio  run-off,  the  Company  needs  to
     significantly grow its lease portfolio. To the extent possible, the Company
     intends to use proceeds from its Debt Facility, the MBank sale proceeds and
     the possible financing proceeds from its jet aircraft to finance the equity
     component  of leases  until such  leases  mature.  While  these  sources of
     capital will be sufficient for the Company's  short-term needs, the Company
     will pursue opportunities to obtain other sources of new capital.

     During July 1995,  the Company and certain of its  sponsored  PIFs  entered
     into an agreement  to debt  finance up to $40 million of lease  receivables
     with  a  lender  as  part  of  a  lease  securitization  program.  As  with
     nonrecourse  debt financings of lease rentals,  securitized  financings are
     also  collateralized  by the leased equipment and related rentals,  and the
     Company has no recourse  liability to the lender for repayment of the debt.
     The Company  selected this  securitized  debt vehicle because of attractive
     interest rates and anticipates that certain unleveraged leases will be debt
     financed using this facility.

     Currently the Company is offering units of CPYF III for sale to the public.
     During fiscal year 1995, the Company sold a total of $22.7 million of Class
     A units of CPYF III and sold $21.8 million during fiscal year 1994.  During
     fiscal  year 1996,  the  Company  has up to $26 million of Class A units in
     CPYF III available for sale, which will represent a source of liquidity and
     acquisition  fee  income  for  the  Company.  Four of the  Company's  PIFs,
     including CPYF-III, are in their reinvestment stage and are using a portion
     of their available cash to purchase additional  equipment from the Company.
     The Company expects to sell approximately $64 million of equipment to these
     PIFs  during  fiscal  year  1996.  Two of the  Company's  PIFs are in their
     liquidation stage and are no longer purchasing equipment.

     Inflation  has not had a  significant  impact  upon the  operations  of the
     Company.

III. BUSINESS PLAN

     Management has identified the following trends in results of operations:

     *   although the Company has reported a profit of $.10 per share for fiscal
         year  1995  (its  ninth,   tenth,   eleventh  and  twelfth  consecutive
         profitable  quarters),  the profit resulted largely from "other income"
         items;

     *   although  the  Company  had  been   continually   enhancing  its  lease
         origination  capabilities  by adding  lease  originators,  the level of
         lease originations were substantially below their 1995 expectations;

     The Company has identified  several  factors which could  adversely  impact
     profitability in the future:

     *   because of the flattening of the yield curve for debt securities during
         calendar  year 1994 and into  calendar  year 1995,  lease rates are not
         rising  in line  with  the  Company's  cost of  funds  which  makes  it
         difficult to maintain a substantial  spread between lease rates and the
         Company's cost of funds;

     *   even  if  lease  originations  increase  significantly,  growth  in the
         Company's  profits  will be slow  because as a portfolio  grows,  under
         generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  operating  leases produce
         lower leasing  margin after  interest  expense during the early term of
         such leases;

     *   the  cost of  funds for many of the Company's competitors is lower than
         the Company's cost of funds; and

     *   certain of the Company's competitors also price  transactions  with tax
         benefits not available to the Company.

     During  the  Restructuring  Period,  the  Company  could  not  originate  a
     significant  amount of leases for its own  account  because it did not have
     the financing to fund and hold such originations. The Company believes that
     it has  the  necessary  funding  capability  for  fiscal  year  1996 to (1)
     continue  to  increase  the  size  of its  own  lease  portfolio,  and  (2)
     originate/acquire  additional  leases for sales to PIFs and private  equity
     investors.  The Company has recently  hired a new complement of field lease
     originators to originate new leases for the Company's own portfolio and for
     sale to third parties.

     However,  while growing the Company's lease origination function and adding
     new leases to the Company's  portfolio will positively affect the Company's
     results of operations  over time,  such actions will not positively  affect
     the  Company's  results of  operations in the near term because (a) it will
     take a period of time before new lease  transactions can be closed, (b) new
     operating  lease  transactions  "throw off" lower  returns  (for  financial
     reporting  purposes) during their early term and (c) the Company will incur
     additional  operating  expenses  in  increasing  the size of its  marketing
     force.  During  this  period of  growth,  the  Company  may  realize  small
     operating  losses  or  reduced  operating  profits  as a  result  of  these
     circumstances.  In addition to factors  discussed above,  operating results
     are  subject to  fluctuations  resulting  from  several  of other  factors,
     including  variations in the relative  percentages of the Company's  leases
     entered into during the period which are  classified as DFLs,  OLs, or sold
     for fee income.

     The ability of the Company to operate  profitably in the future will depend
     largely on the amount of new capital  available to the Company and the cost
     of that capital.  The Company  continues to explore possible sources of new
     capital including, for example,  obtaining new or additional recourse debt,
     obtaining  new equity  capital  (which could include a sale of the Company,
     possibly coupled with an infusions of new funds from the purchaser into the
     Company),  securitizing lease  transactions,  obtaining equity capital from
     private investor  purchases of equipment  leases  originated by the Company
     and/or entering into strategic alliances/combinations with other leasing or
     financial services companies. The Company intends to invest any new capital
     that it  obtains  in  leases  for  its own  portfolio.  If the  Company  is
     unsuccessful  in  obtaining  new  capital,  the  ability of the  Company to
     continue to operate  profitably  will depend on (1) equipment sales margins
     from new lease  originations,  (2) origination leases for its own portfolio
     with a  substantial  rate  spread,  and (3)  remarketing  of equipment at a
     profit and (3) further reducing its operating costs.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT







The Stockholders and Directors
Capital Associates, Inc.:

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Capital
Associates,  Inc. and  subsidiaries as of May 31, 1995, and 1994 and the related
consolidated  statements of income,  changes in stockholders'  equity,  and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period  ended  May 31, 1995. These
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of Capital Associates,
Inc.  and  subsidiaries  as of May 31,  1995 and 1994 and the  results  of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year  period
ended May 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

       The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Capital
       Associates,   Inc.  ("CAI")  and  its  subsidiaries  (collectively,   the
       "Company").  Intercompany   accounts and  transactions  are eliminated in
       consolidation.

       The Company  has  investments  in  affiliated  public  income  funds (the
       "PIFs",  consisting of both general  partnership and subordinated limited
       partnership   interests)  and  other  50%-or-less  owned  entities.  Such
       investments  are  primarily  accounted for using the equity  method.  The
       parent   company's    assets  consist   solely  of  its   investments  in
       subsidiaries and it has no liabilities separate from its subsidiaries.


     INCOME TAXES

       The  Company  accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement
       of  Financial Accounting  Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"),  Accounting
       for Income Taxes.  Under  the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109,
       deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  are  recognized for the future tax
       consequences  attributable to differences between the financial statement
       carrying  amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
       tax  bases.  Deferred  tax  assets and  liabilities  are  measured  using
       enacted  tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the years in
       which  those  temporary  differences  are  expected  to be  recovered  or
       settled.  Under  SFAS No.  109,  the  effect on  deferred  tax assets and
       liabilities  of a  change  in tax  rates is  recognized  in income in the
       period that includes the enactment date.


     EQUIPMENT HELD FOR SALE OR RE-LEASE

       Equipment  held  for sale or  re-lease,  recorded at the lower of cost or
       market  value expected to be realized,  consists of equipment  previously
       leased  to end users which has been  returned  to the  Company  following
       lease expiration.


     INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

       Income  per common and common  equivalent  share is  computed by dividing
       net  income by the weighted  average number of shares of common stock and
       common  stock  equivalents  (consisting  solely of common stock  options)
       outstanding during the period.


     RECLASSIFICATIONS

       CONSOLIDATED  STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOW - The principal portion of receipts
       of  direct  financing  leases and proceeds  from sales of equipment  have
       been  classified as "Cash flows from operating  activities".  Previously,
       such  amounts were reported as "Cash flows from investing activities".

     EQUIPMENT LEASING AND SALES

       Lease  Accounting - Statement  of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 13
       requires  that  a lessor  account  for each  lease by either  the  direct
       financing,  sales-type  or operating lease method.  Direct  financing and
       sales-type   leases   are  defined  as  those   leases   which   transfer
       substantially  all  of  the   benefits  and  risks  of  ownership  of the
       equipment  to  the lessee.  The  Company  currently  utilizes  the direct
       financing  or the operating method for substantially all of the Company's
       lease  originations.  The  Company currently  utilizes the sales-type and
       operating  lease methods for  substantially all subsequent lease activity
       for  an item of equipment after the expiration of the initial lease term.
       For  all types of  leases,  the  determination  of profit  considers  the
       estimated  value  of the equipment at lease  termination,  referred to as
       the  residual value.  After the  origination of a lease,  the Company may
       engage  in financing of lease receivables on a non-recourse  basis and/or
       equipment sale  transactions  to  reduce or recover its investment in the
       equipment.

       The  Company's  accounting methods and their financial  reporting effects
       are described below:


       Lease Inception
       ---------------

       DIRECT  FINANCING  LEASES ("DFLs") - The cost of equipment is recorded as
       net  investment in DFLs.  Leasing  revenue,  which is recognized over the
       term  of the lease,  consists  of the excess of lease  payments  plus the
       estimated  residual  value over the  equipment's  cost.  Earned income is
       recognized  monthly  to  provide  a  constant  yield and is  recorded  in
       leasing  revenue in the accompanying statements of income. Initial direct
       costs  ("IDC")  are  capitalized  and  amortized  over  the lease term in
       proportion  to the  recognition  of earned  income.  Residual  values are
       established  at  lease  inception  equal  to  the  estimated  value to be
       received from the equipment  following  termination of the  initial lease
       (which in certain circumstances  includes anticipated  re-lease proceeds)
       as  determined by the Company.  In  estimating  such values,  the Company
       considers  all  relevant  information  and  circumstances  regarding  the
       equipment and the lessee.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

     GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, continued

     EQUIPMENT LEASING AND SALES, continued

       OPERATING  LEASES  ("OLs") - Leasing   revenue  consists  principally  of
       monthly  rentals.  The cost  of equipment is recorded as leased equipment
       and is  depreciated on  a  straight-line  basis over the lease term to an
       amount  equal to the estimated  residual  value at the lease  termination
       date.  Residual  values  are  established at lease inception equal to the
       estimated value to be  received from the equipment following  termination
       of  the  initial   lease  (which  in   certain   circumstances   includes
       anticipated   re-lease  proceeds)  as  determined   by  the  Company.  In
       estimating  such values,  the Company considers all relevant  information
       and  circumstances  regarding  the  equipment  and  the  lessee.  IDC are
       capitalized  and  amortized  over  the lease  term in  proportion  to the
       recognition of  rental income.  Depreciation  expense and amortization of
       IDC  are  recorded as leasing  costs in the  accompanying  statements  of
       income.  Because  revenue,  depreciation expense and the resultant profit
       margin  before interest  expense are recorded on a  straight-line  basis,
       and  interest  expense  on  discounted  lease  rentals is incurred on the
       interest  method,  profit  is skewed  toward  lower  returns in the early
       years of the term of an OL and higher returns in later years.

       Transactions Subsequent to Lease Inception
       ------------------------------------------

       NON-RECOURSE  DISCOUNTING OF RENTALS - The Company may assign the rentals
       from  leases  to  financial  institutions  at fixed  interest  rates on a
       non-recourse  basis.  In  return  for such  future  lease  payments,  the
       Company  receives  the  discounted  value of the payments in cash. In the
       event  of default by a lessee, the financial institution has a first lien
       on  the underlying leased equipment, with no further recourse against the
       Company.  Cash  proceeds from such financings are recorded on the balance
       sheet as  discounted lease rentals. As lessees make payments to financial
       institutions, leasing  revenue and interest expense are recorded.

       SALES TO  PRIVATE  INVESTORS OF EQUIPMENT UNDER LEASE - The Company sells
       title  to leased  equipment  that in some cases is  subject  to  existing
       non-recourse  debt   in  equipment  sale  transactions  with  third-party
       investors.  In  such transactions,  the investors obtain ownership of the
       equipment as  well as rights to equipment rentals and tax benefits.  Upon
       sale,  the  Company  records  equipment  sales revenue equal to the sales
       price  of the equipment which may include a residual interest retained by
       the Company  (recorded  as an asset at present value using an appropriate
       interest  rate) and  records  equipment  sales cost equal to the carrying
       value  of the  related  assets  (including  remaining  unamortized  IDC).
       Income  is recorded on residual  interests  retained by the Company after
       cumulative  cash  collections on such residuals exceed the recorded asset
       amount.  Fees for remarketing equipment associated with such transactions
       are reflected in operations as realized.

       Other accounts arising from private equity sales include:

         DISCOUNTED  LEASE  RENTALS,  etc. - Pursuant to FASB Technical Bulletin
         No.  86-2,  although   private  investors  and  PIFs  may  acquire  the
         equipment  sold  to  them  by the  Company  subject  to the  associated
         non-recourse  debt,  the debt  is  not removed  from the balance  sheet
         unless   such  debt  has  been   legally  assumed  by  the  third-party
         investors. If  not  legally assumed, a corresponding asset ("discounted
         lease  rentals   assigned  to  lenders   arising  from  equipment  sale
         transactions")  is  recorded  representing the present value of the end
         user  rentals  receivable   relating  t o such  transactions.  Interest
         income  is  recorded  on  the  discounted  lease  rentals  and an equal
         amount  of  interest  expense on the related  liability  is recorded in
         the accompanying statements of income.

     EQUIPMENT LEASING AND SALES, continued

         SALE-LEASEBACK  TRANSACTIONS -  In  sale-leaseback   transactions,  the
         Company  leases  equipment,  obtains  non-recourse   financing  on  the
         equipment,  sells  the  equipment  to  a  third  party and  leases  the
         equipment  back  from  the  third  party.  Income  in a  sale-leaseback
         transaction  is  deferred and principally  amortized over the leaseback
         term  in  proportion  to  the  reduction   in  the  leased  asset.  For
         financial  reporting  purposes, a note receivable from the third-party,
         a   capital  lease   obligation  equal  to  the  present  value  of the
         leaseback payments and a deferred gain are recorded at the time of  the
         transaction.   Amortization   of  the   deferred   gain  is   generally
         recorded  as  a  reduction  of  leasing   costs  and  expenses  in  the
         accompanying  statements of income unless the  estimated residual value
         of  the  underlying  equipment has  experienced an other than temporary
         decline  in  value, in which case amortization  ceases. The Company has
         not  entered  into a sale/leaseback transaction since fiscal year 1991.

         INTEREST  INCOME  -  Interest  income,  as  shown in  the  accompanying
         statements  of  income,  includes  interest on discounted lease rentals
         and   interest  on   notes  receivable   arising  from   sale-leaseback
         transactions.

         SALES  TO  PIFS - Upon the sale of equipment  to its PIFs,  the Company
         records  equipment  sales  revenue  equal  to  the  sales  price of the
         equipment  (including  any  acquisition fees earned) and costs of sales
         equal  to  the   carrying   value  of  the  related  assets  (including
         remaining   unamortized  IDC). Fees  for services the Company  performs
         for the PIFs are recognized at the time the services are performed.

       Transactions Subsequent to Initial Lease Termination
       ----------------------------------------------------

       After  the initial term of equipment  under lease expires,  the equipment
       is  either sold or released.  When the  equipment is sold,  the remaining
       net  book value of equipment  sold is removed and gain or loss  recorded.
       When  the  equipment is  released,  the Company  utilizes the  sales-type
       method (described below) or the OL method (described above).

       Sales-type Leases
       -----------------

       The  excess of the present value of future  rentals and the present value
       of  the estimated  residual value  (collectively,  "the net  investment")
       over  the carrying value of the equipment subject to the sales-type lease
       is  reflected in operations  at the  inception of the lease.  Thereafter,
       the net investment is accounted for as a DFL, as described above.


     ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES

       An  allowance for losses is maintained at levels determined by management
       to  adequately  provide  for any other than  temporary  declines in asset
       values.  In determining losses, economic conditions, the activity in used
       equipment  markets, the effect of actions by equipment manufacturers, the
       financial  condition  of  lessees,  the  expected  courses  of  action by
       lessees  with regard to leased  equipment at  termination  of the initial
       lease term,  and  other factors which  management  believes are relevant,
       are  considered.  Assets are reviewed quarterly to determine the adequacy
       of the allowance for losses.

     ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES, continued

       The  Company  evaluates the  realizability  of the carrying  value of its
       investment  in its PIFs based upon all  estimated  future cash flows from
       the  PIFs. As a result of such analyses,  certain distributions have been
       accounted  for as a recovery of cost instead of income.

6.   NOTES  RECEIVABLE  AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES  ARISING FROM SALE-
     LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

     In  sale-leaseback transactions, the leaseback payments are generally equal
     in  amount  to  the  principal  and  interest  payments  due under the note
     receivable  and,  accordingly,  the notes receivable and obligations  under
     capital  leases arising from  sale-leaseback  transactions do not represent
     future  net cash inflows or outflows of the Company.

7.   CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     The  Company  leases  various  types of  equipment  to companies in diverse
     industries  throughout  the United  States.  To  minimize  credit risk, the
     Company  generally  leases  equipment  to (i) companies  that have a credit
     rating  of not less than Baa as  determined by Moody's  Investor  Services,
     Inc.,  or  comparable  credit  ratings as  determined  by other  recognized
     credit  rating services,  or (ii) companies,  which although not rated by a
     recognized  credit  rating  service or rated below Baa, are believed by the
     Company   to  be   sufficiently   creditworthy  to  satisfy  the  financial
     obligations under the lease.

     At  May 31,  1995,  equipment  under OLs and DFLs owned by the  Company was
     leased to companies with the following credit ratings:

                                                   Percentage of the
                                                   net book value of

11.  INCOME TAXES, continued


     At  May 31, 1995, the Company had an investment tax credit  carryforward of
     $7.4  million,  which  expires from 1996 through  2001,  and AMT credits of
     $3.3  million.  Under  present  United  States  tax law, AMT credits may be
     carried  forward  indefinitely  and may be  utilized to reduce  regular tax
     liability to an amount equal to AMT liability.

     The  Company has  established a valuation  allowance for deferred taxes due
     to  the uncertainty  that the full amount of the ITC  carryforward  will be
     utilized  prior  to  expiration.  The reduction in the valuation  allowance
     recorded in  fiscal 1995 of $230,000  represents the  utilization of an ITC
     carryforward  for which a valuation allowance had previously been provided.



12.  COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK


     The  Company has authority to issue 2,500,000  shares of preferred stock at
     $0.008  par value.  At May 31, 1995, no shares of preferred  stock had been
     issued.

     Two  principal  stockholders,  who  together own  approximately  32% of the
     outstanding  shares of the Company's stock are parties to an agreement with
     the  Company  pursuant  to which each of them has granted the Company  and,
     secondarily,   the  other,   a  right  of   first   refusal  under  certain
     circumstances  to  purchase  their shares of common stock at current market
     value.  Upon  the  death  or  disability  of one of them,  the  Company  is
     obligated  to  purchase  his shares at an amount equal to the greater of $1
     million  or the amount of insurance  proceeds to be received by the Company
     in  the event of death. The Company is the owner of life insurance policies
     providing  approximately $3 million of coverage with respect to each of the
     principal stockholders.



13.  STOCK OPTIONS


     The  Company has a qualified  incentive  stock  option plan  whereby  stock
     options  may be granted to  employees to purchase  shares of the  Company's
     common  stock  at prices equal to 100% of the  estimated  fair value at the
     date of  grant. The Company has a non-qualified plan covering all directors
     except the CEO.

     Common  stock received  through the exercise of qualified  incentive  stock
     options  which  are sold by the  optionee  within two years of grant or one
     year  of exercise  result in a tax deduction for the Company  equivalent to
     the  taxable gain  recognized  by the  optionee.  For  financial  reporting
     purposes,  the  tax effect of this deduction is accounted for as additional
     paid-in  capital.  Such  optionee  sales  resulted  in tax  benefits to the
     Company   of  $58,000   and   $19,000  in  fiscal   years  1995  and  1994,
     respectively.

     that  the  Company leased (the "Lease") to MBank Dallas, N.A. ("MBank"), in
     1987 and  the  rights to certain cash  collateral  for MBank's  obligations
     under  that  Lease (the "Cash Collateral")  following MBank's default under
     the Lease in 1989.

15.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, continued

     MBANK LITIGATION, continued

     On  March  16,  1995,  the United  States  District  Court for the Northern
     District  of  Texas,  Dallas  Division (the "District  Court")  granted the
     motions  for  partial  summary  judgment  of CAII,  Prudential  and TCB and
     denied  the  motion for partial summary judgment of the FDIC (the "District
     Court's Opinion").

     On  August  15,  1995,  the  FDIC (in  its  corporate  capacity  and in its
     capacity as receiver for MBank), Prudential, TCB and CAII agreed to  settle
     their claims on the terms set  forth in that  Settlement  Agreement,  dated
     as of the  same  date and  filed with the  District  Court a  Joint  Motion
     Regarding  Settlement of  Claims  Among FDIC, CAI, TCB and  Prudential (the
     "Joint  Motion"), seeking to have the District Court (a) ratify and approve
     the dismissal of the arties  claims  against each other, (b) accept  tender
     of the bill of sale for the  equipment and (c) approve  distribution of the
     remaining Cash Collateral as follows:

     a.  $7.0 million to the FDIC; and

     b.  $2.0 million to TCB and  Prudential, jointly, to be divided between TCB
         and Prudential as they agree; and

     c.  the remaining  proceeds (in the approximate amount of $10.8 million) to
         CAII  (CAII  agreed  to pay  approximately  $2.4  million  of the $10.8
         million  to Bank One, in repayment of the monies received from Bank One
         in  1992,  with  interest  thereon  at the  rate of 18% per  annum,  as
         required by  that certain  Purchase  Agreement,  by and among CAII, the
         Company and Bank One (the "Bank One Purchase Agreement"));

     On August 16, 1995,  the  District  Court  approved  the Joint  Motion.  On
     August 23, 1995, TCB distributed approximately $10.8 million to CAII.

     Bank One  is  not a party to the Settlement  Agreement or the Joint Motion.
     In  August  1995,  the District  Court  approved Bank One's request to file
     its  first  amended  complaint in the MBank Litigation ("Bank One's Amended
     Complaint").  Bank  One's  Amended  Complaint seeks,  with respect to CAII,
     (1) a  declaratory  judgment  that CAII is obligated to convey title to the
     Equipment  to  Bank One  and (2) a permanent  injunction  prohibiting  CAII
     from  transferring  title to the equipment to the FDIC ("Bank One's Amended
     Claims").  Bank  One's  Amended  Complaint does not assert any money damage
     claims  against  CAII.  CAII delivered a confirmatory  bill of sale for the
     Equipment  to the  District Court on August 15, 1995. The Company has filed
     a  motion  with the District  Court asking it to dismiss Bank One's Amended
     Claims  against  CAII. CAII intends to defend vigorously Bank One's Amended
     Claims.  Management  believes,  based  upon the advice of counsel, that the
     ultimate  outcome  with  respect to Bank One's Amended Claims will not have
     a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

     The  MBank  sale  proceeds  of  approximately  $8.4  million  and the MBank
     equipment  carrying  value  of approximately  $2.3 million were included in
     "Other  equipment  sales" and "Cost of equipment sales",  respectively,  in
     the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

17.  DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The  following  disclosure  of  the   estimated  fair  value  of  financial
     instruments  was  made in accordance with Statements of Financial Standards
     No. 107  ("SFAS  No.  107"),  Disclosures  about  Fair  Value of  Financial
     Instruments.  SFAS  No. 107  specifically  excludes  certain items from its
     disclosure  requirements   such  as  the  Company's  investment  in  leased
     assets.  Accordingly,  the  aggregate  fair value amounts presented are not
     intended  to  represent  the  underlying  value  of  the net  assets of the
     Company.

     The  carrying  amounts  at  May 31,  1995  for cash,  accounts  receivable,
     residual  values  and other receivables  arising from equipment under lease
     sold to  private  investors,  the  Working Capital Facility,  the Warehouse
     Facility,   accounts  payable  and  other  liabilities  and  the Term  Loan
     approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  the  short   maturity  of  these
     instruments,  or  because  the related interest rates  approximate  current
     market rates.

     As  of  May 31, 1995, discounted lease rentals and discounted lease rentals
     assigned  to  lenders   arising   from   equipment  sale   transactions  of
     $77,192,000   and    $65,283,000,   respectively,    have  fair  values  of
     $76,551,000  and  $64,741,000, respectively. The fair values were estimated
     utilizing  market  rates  of comparable debt having similar  maturities and
     credit quality as of May 31, 1995.
