1.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
     interim  financial  information and the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
     10-01  of  Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not  include  all of the
     information  and  disclosures  required by  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles for annual financial  statements.  In the opinion of management,
     all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring  adjustments)  considered
     necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been  included.   For  further
     information,   please  refer  to  the   financial   statements  of  Capital
     Associates,  Inc. (the "Company"),  and the related notes,  included within
     the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31,
     1995 (the "1995 Form  10-K"),  previously  filed  with the  Securities  and
     Exchange Commission.

     The  balance  sheet  at May 31,  1995  has been  derived  from the  audited
     financial statements included in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K.

     Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made to  prior  periods'  financial
     statements to conform to the current periods' presentation.


2.   MBank Proceeds
     --------------

     On August 23, 1995, the Company received $10.8 million in settlement of its
     claims in  connection  with the MBank  Litigation  (which is  discussed  in
     detail in Footnote 15 to Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements which
     were included in the 1995 Form 10-K).  In accordance  with the terms of the
     settlement,  on August 28, 1995, the Company delivered $2.2 million to Bank
     One Texas, N.A. ("Bank One"), in repayment of the monies received from Bank
     One in 1992  (along with  interest  thereon),  as required by that  certain
     Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 30, 1991, by and among the Company
     and Bank One. On September 8, 1995, Bank One, which is continuing to pursue
     its claim to  obtain  title to the MBank  Equipment  (see Part II,  Item 1.
     Legal Proceedings,  (a) MBank Litigation)  rejected the tender and returned
     the $2.2 million to the Company (while  purporting to reserve all rights to
     make a claim to such funds in the  future).  On  September  12,  1995,  the
     Company   deposited   the  $2.2   million   returned  by  Bank  One  in  an
     interest-bearing escrow account with Norwest Bank, N.A., pending resolution
     of Bank One's ongoing claims to the MBank  Equipment.  The Company used the
     balance of the  settlement  proceeds,  i.e.,  $8.6 million,  to paydown its
     short-term, recourse Working Capital Facility and Warehouse Facility.

3.   Termination of Stockholders' Agreement
     --------------------------------------

     Effective as of August 31, 1995, Mr. Durliat, a stockholder of the Company,
     Mr.  Jacobs,  a stockholder  and director of the Company,  and the Company,
     constituting all of the remaining  parties to the  Stockholders'  Agreement
     (see Exhibits 10.5(a),  10.5(b) and 10.42 referenced in the 1995 Form 10-K)
     agreed to terminate the Stockholders'  Agreement.  In connection therewith,
     the Company notified  Messrs.  Durliat and Jacobs that it intended to cease
     making premium payments for the key-man life insurance maintained by the

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

I.   Results of Operations, continued
     ---------------------

     Equipment Sales to PIFs and to Private Investors
     ------------------------------------------------

     Equipment sales to PIFs and equipment sales to private investors  increased
     during  the  three  months  ended  August  31,  1995,  as  compared  to the
     comparable  period in fiscal  1995,  principally  because  more leases were
     identified and closed due to the increased  productivity of the field lease
     originations  team. The increased volume of the field lease  originators is
     primarily  due to the  Company's  efforts to improve its market  activities
     including the hiring of new lease originators.

     Remarketing of the Portfolio and 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 table above, the  realizations  from
     sales  exceeded the  provision for losses for the first three months fiscal
     1996, 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 for the last thirteen 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 Company had not  significantly
     added leases to its lease portfolio  during the four years prior to May 31,
     1995,  fewer leases have matured and less  equipment has been available for
     remarketing each quarter. As a result,  remarketing revenue declined during
     the first three months  fiscal 1996  compared to the  comparable  period in
     fiscal 1995. Remarketing revenue and margin are expected to decline further
     in future quarters as maturing  leases continue to decrease.  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  immediately  increase the frequency of maturing  leases
     because new leases  typically  are not  remarketed  until after the 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
     release 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  from  those
     exposures. The Company performs ongoing quarterly assessments of its assets
     to identify other than temporary losses in value.

     Remarketing Sales and Provision for Losses
     ------------------------------------------

     During the first fiscal  quarter  1995, a lessee  returned an IBM mainframe
     computer to the Company. The Company had previously expected to realize the
     carrying value of this equipment through  additional  month-to-month  rents
     and  proceeds  from the sale of the  equipment.  The  provision  for losses
     recorded  during the first fiscal  quarter 1995  primarily  related to this
     equipment.

     Leasing Margin and Equipment Under Lease

     Leasing margin consists of the following (in thousands):

     The increase in both leasing  revenue and leasing costs and expenses during
     first quarter  fiscal 1996, as compared to first quarter  fiscal 1995,  was
     primarily due to growth in the Company's lease portfolio. These revenue and
     expense amounts are expected to increase  further as the Company  continues
     to grow its lease  portfolio.  Net  interest  expense on  discounted  lease
     rentals  (non-recourse  debt)  did not  grow  proportionately  because  the
     Company is using its recourse  debt facility to finance the leases held for
     its own account and leases  held  pending  sale to the PIFs and third party
     investors.

     Leasing margin and the related leasing margin ratio primarily  decreased as
     a result of a decrease in remarketing activities as discussed above.

     The changes in the Company's  equipment under lease during the three months
     ended August 31, 1995 consisted of the following:

     Other than fees and  distributions  from the  company-sponsored  PIFs,  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  $1.1 million (40%) for the first
     quarter  fiscal 1996 as compared to the  comparable  period in fiscal 1995.
     The decrease included the following more significant reductions:

     *   $250,000 for capitalized initial  direct costs  related to the increase
         in lease origination volume.
     *   $200,000 for compensation  expenses primarily  related to the reduction
         in force effective June 30, 1994 (first fiscal quarter 1995).
     *   $200,000 for differences between estimated  incentive  compensation and
         actual payments as modified by the Company's Board of Directors.
     *   $150,000 for the elimination of restructuring costs associated with the
         Company's prior debt facility.
     *   $100,000 for legal fees primarily related to the MBank litigation.
     *   $100,000 for insurance costs.
     *   $100,000 for other cost-cutting strategies implemented by management.

     As of August 31, 1995, the Company had 95 full-time employees,  compared to
     86 full-time  employees at August 31, 1994.  The growth is due to increases
     in the  number of  revenue  producing  lease  origination,  private  equity
     syndication and PIF wholesaler personnel.

     Termination of Stockholders' Agreement Expense

     See  Note  3  to  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  more
     information concerning (1) the termination of the Stockholders'  Agreement,
     (2) the termination of the Company's obligation to continue to make premium
     payments on certain key-man life insurance policies and (3) the transfer of
     those life  insurance  policies  to the two  stockholders  whose  lives are
     insured in exchange for cash  payments from the  stockholders  in an amount
     equal to 50% of the net cash  surrender  values  of  those  policies  as of
     August 31, 1995.

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

I.   Results of Operations, continued
     ---------------------

     Interest Income and Expense

     Interest revenue arises when equipment  financed with  non-recourse debt is
     sold to investors.  The  Consolidated  Statements of Operations  reflect an
     equal  amount of  interest  expense.  The  decline in  interest  expense on
     non-recourse  debt  (net  of the  associated  interest  revenue)  is due to
     portfolio run-off.

     Recourse interest expense  increased  $325,000 (113%) for the first quarter
     fiscal 1996,  as compared to the first  quarter  fiscal 1995.  As discussed
     above, the Company is financing more lease  originations  with its recourse
     lines of credit as opposed to discounted lease rentals (non-recourse debt).
     In addition,  there was an increase in the average interest rate charged on
     the recourse  lines of credit  which is  partially  offset by a decrease in
     restructuring costs as discussed above.

     Income Taxes

     Income tax  expense is provided  on income at the  appropriate  federal and
     state statutory rates applicable to such earnings.  The aggregate statutory
     tax rate is 40%.

     As discussed in Item 5. Other Information, a transaction is contemplated in
     which the Company's largest shareholder will obtain more than fifty percent
     of the  ownership and voting rights of the Company ("a change in control").
     If that  change  in  control  is  completed,  depending  upon the terms and
     conditions of such transaction,  under federal income tax rules, the amount
     of ITC carryforwards and AMT carryforwards that could be utilized to reduce
     income tax liability in any year may be significantly limited. However, the
     Company had previously established a valuation allowance for deferred taxes
     due to uncertainty  that the full amount of the ITC  carryforward  would be
     utilized  prior to  expiration.  The  change in control  and any  resulting
     limitation  on  the  ITC   carryforward  is  not  expected  to  reduce  the
     recoverability of the amount of the deferred income tax assets,  net of the
     valuation allowance.


II.  Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------

     The Company's  activities  are  principally  funded by its Working  Capital
     Facility and  Warehouse  Facility,  rents,  proceeds from sales of on-lease
     equipment (to its PIFs and private  investors),  nonrecourse debt, fees and
     distributions  from its PIFs,  sales and  re-leases of equipment  after the
     expiration of the initial lease terms and other cash receipts.

     On August 23, 1995, the Company received $10.8 million in settlement of its
     claims  in the  MBank  Litigation.  On  September  12,  1995,  the  Company
     deposited  $2.2 million of the settlement  proceeds in an  interest-bearing
     escrow account with Norwest Bank,  N.A.,  pending  resolution of Bank One's
     ongoing claims to the MBank Equipment.  The Company used the balance of the
     settlement  proceeds,  i.e.,  $8.6  million,  to  paydown  its  short-term,
     recourse  Working  Capital  Facility  and  Warehouse  Facility.   For  more
     information  concerning  this matter,  see Note 2 to Notes to  Consolidated
     Financial Statements.

         of Operations

II.  Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued
     -------------------------------

     The Company's  Working Capital Facility and Warehouse  Facility both mature
     on November 30, 1995. After  application of the MBank settlement  proceeds,
     as of August 31, 1995, the outstanding  balance and the availability  under
     (1) the Working Capital Facility were $0 and $5 million,  respectively, and
     (2)  the  Warehouse   Facility   were  $7.6  million  and  $24.4   million,
     respectively.  Management  believes that the Company has adequate financial
     resources to fund its operations during the remainder of fiscal year 1996.

     First fiscal quarter 1996 lease originations of $30.1 million were financed
     through  $14.7  million  of sales to the  PIFs,  $7.1  million  of sales to
     private  investors,   and  the  remainder  for  the  Company's  account  of
     approximately $8.3 million through the use of the Company's cash,  accounts
     payable and the Warehouse Facility.

     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 first quarter  fiscal 1996, the Company sold $5.2 million of Class A
     units of CPYF III (bringing total sales of Class A units of CPYF III to $29
     million).  During the remainder of fiscal year 1996,  the Company has up to
     $21  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.

     As shown in the  accompanying  Statements of Cash Flows,  net receipts from
     affiliated  PIFs decreased for the first fiscal  quarter 1996,  compared to
     the first fiscal  quarter 1995.  The  principal  reason for the decrease is
     that two of the Company's  PIFs are now in their  liquidation  stage and as
     such,  cash  distributions  from these two PIFs to the Company will be less
     than distributions in prior periods.

III. Business Plan
     -------------

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

     *   because of the  generally  flat yield  curve,  lease  rates  (which are
         reflective of long-term  rates) are not  significantly  higher than the
         Company's cost of funds (which primarily reflect short-term rates) and,
         accordingly  it is difficult to maintain a substantial  spread  between
         lease rates and the Company's cost of funds;

     *   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.


                                    13 of 20

III. Business Plan, continued
     -------------

     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.  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  costs in  increasing  its
     marketing  capabilities.  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  related  to  growing  the
     portfolio  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,  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 new lease  originations for its own account or portfolio
     acquisitions  of leases.  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,
     (3)  remarketing  of  equipment  at a profit and (4) further  reducing  its
     operating costs.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

         (a) MBank Litigation. On August 15, 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance
         Corporation   (the   "FDIC"),    The   Prudential   Insurance   Company
         ("Prudential"),  Texas  Commerce  Bank,  N.A.  ("TCB")  and the Company
         entered into a settlement  agreement  (the  "Settlement  Agreement") in
         connection with their respective  claims in the MBank Litigation (which
         is  discussed  in  detail  in  Footnote  15 to  Notes  to  Consolidated
         Financial  Statements  which  were  included  in the 1995  Form  10-K).
         Pursuant to the Settlement  Agreement,  on August 23, 1995, the Company
         received $10.8 million in settlement of its claims against  Prudential,
         TCB and FDIC (see Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements
         for a  discussion  of  how  the  Company  has  applied  the  settlement
         proceeds).

         See Note 15 to Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements included in
         the 1995 Form 10-K for a discussion of the claims asserted  against the
         Company by Bank One, N.A., in its first amended  complaint ("Bank One's
         Amended  Complaint").  Bank One's Amended Complaint does not assert any
         money damage claims against the Company. The Company has filed a motion
         with the United  States  District  Court for the  Northern  District of
         Texas,  Dallas  Division (the  "District  Court"),  which has agreed to
         retain  jurisdiction  over the claims in the MBank Litigation that were
         not resolved in the Settlement Agreement,  asking the District Court to
         dismiss the claims  asserted  against the Company in Bank One's Amended
         Complaint.  The District Court has not ruled on the Company's motion as
         of the date of this Quarterly Report.

         (b) PaineWebber Class Action.  The Company is not aware of any material
         developments  with  respect to this matter since the filing of the 1995
         Form 10-K.

         (c) Other.  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 5.  Other Information
         -----------------

         (a) Nasdaq National Market System Listing.  The Company's  common stock
         is currently  listed on the Nasdaq National Market System ("NMS").  The
         Nasdaq Stock Market,  Inc.  ("Nasdaq") has advised the Company that the
         Company  is  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 NMS (both
         tests  are   collectively   referred   to   herein   as  "Stock   Price
         Requirement").  See Part I, Item 5. Market for the Registrant's  Common
         Stock and Related  Stockholder Matters in the 1995 Form 10-K for a more
         detailed  discussion  of the  events  pertaining  to this  matter  that
         occurred on or before August 31, 1995.

         On September 13, 1995,  Nasdaq granted the Company an extension of time
         to comply with the Stock Price Requirement through November 1, 1995. In
         an effort to meet this  deadline,  the Company (1) on August 28,  1995,
         approved and announced a stock repurchase program and (2) on October 2,
         1995,  approved a  one-for-two  reverse  stock  split.  The Company has
         authority

Item 5.  Other Information, continued
         -----------------

         authority  under the  stock  repurchase  program  to  repurchase  up to
         500,000  shares of common  stock from time to time in the open  market.
         See Part II, Item 6.  Exhibits  and Report on Form 8-K, (b) and Exhibit
         99  attached  to the  Form  8-K  filed  on  August  31,  1995  for more
         information  concerning the stock repurchase program. As of the date of
         this Quarterly  Report,  the Company has repurchased  110,900 shares of
         common stock pursuant to the repurchase  program.  See Part II, Item 5.
         Other  Information,  (b)  Reverse  Stock  Split  for  more  information
         concerning the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will not be
         effected until the first or second week of November 1995.

         No assurance  can be given that the Company will be able to satisfy the
         Stock Price  requirement  on or before  November  1, 1995.  The Company
         intends to seek an additional extension of time beyond November 1, 1995
         to comply with the Stock Price  Requirement.  No assurance can be given
         that  Nasdaq  will grant the Company an  additional  extension  of time
         beyond  November  1, 1995.  If the  Company  does not satisfy the Stock
         Price  Requirement  by November 1, 1995 and cannot obtain an additional
         extension  of time to comply with such  requirement  or, if the Company
         obtains an additional  extension of time but is not able to satisfy the
         Stock Price  Requirement  during the  extension  period,  the Company's
         common  stock  will be  de-listed  form  the NMS and will  most  likely
         thereafter be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

         (b)  Reverse  Stock  Split.  The Board of the  Company  has  approved a
         one-for-two  reverse split of the Company's  common stock (the "Reverse
         Split").  Three stockholders of the Company owning  approximately sixty
         percent (60%) of the outstanding Common Stock have approved the Reverse
         Split.  Therefore,  a vote of the stockholders at the Annual Meeting is
         not required.  An Information  Statement  describing the details of the
         Reverse  Split  has been  sent to each  stockholder  of  record  of the
         Company.  The Company  anticipates  that the Reverse  Split will become
         effective  during  the  first  two  weeks  of  November  1995.  Further
         information  regarding the exchange of old stock  certificates  for new
         stock certificates will be sent to all stockholders at that time.

         (c) Change of  Control.  The Company  has been  advised  that its three
         largest stockholders are engaged in negotiations concerning the sale of
         shares of Common Stock by two of them, Mr. Jacobs, a director,  and Mr.
         Durliat,  to the third,  MCC, whose  principals,  Mr.  Buckland and Mr.
         Walker,  are also directors.  The number of shares under  consideration
         for sale would be  sufficient  to provide  MCC,  which  currently  owns
         approximately 30% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, with more
         than 50% of the ownership  and voting  rights of the Company.  While no
         agreement has yet been executed,  the Company has been advised that the
         parties have  substantially  agreed on the consideration to be paid for
         the shares of Common Stock, which will include a premium to the current
         market price. The three  stockholders are in discussions  regarding the
         remaining terms and conditions of the proposed transaction.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
         --------------------------------

         a. Included as exhibits are the items listed in the Exhibit Index.  The
            Company  will  furnish  to its  shareholders  a  copy  of any of the
            exhibits  listed  therein upon payment of $.25 per page to cover the
            costs to the Company of furnishing the exhibits.

         b. On August 31, 1995, a Form 8-K was filed  disclosing  the  Company's
            decision to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's  common
            stock from time-to-time in the open market.
