     All rents and  proceeds  from the sale of  equipment  are paid  directly to
either  AFG or to a  lender.  AFG  temporarily  deposits  collected  funds  in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.
At September 30, 1995,  the  Partnership  was owed $28,789 by AFG for such funds
and the  interest  thereon.  These  funds were  remitted to the  Partnership  in
October 1995.

     On August 18, 1995, Atlantic  Acquisition Limited Partnership  ("AALP"),  a
newly formed  Massachusetts  limited partnership owned and controlled by certain
principals of AFG,  issued a voluntary  Offer to Purchase for Cash (the "Offer")
up to approximately  45% of the outstanding units of limited partner interest in
this  Partnership and 20 affiliated  partnerships  sponsored and managed by AFG.
Coincident to the Offer, a Tender Offer Statement  pursuant to Section  14(d)(1)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange  Act") was filed with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Also,  on August 18,  1995,  the General
Partner filed a Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement (Schedule 14D-9) pursuant
to Section  14(d)(4) of the Exchange Act. The Offer was amended and supplemented
in order to provide  additional  disclosure to  unitholders;  increase the offer
price; reduce the number of units sought to approximately 35% of the outstanding
units; and extend the expiration date of the Offer to October 20, 1995.  Certain
legal actions were initiated by interested  persons against AALP and each of the
general  partners (4 in total) of the 21 affected  programs,  and various  other
affiliates  and related  parties.  One action,  representing  a class  action on
behalf of the  unitholders  (limited  partners),  sought to enjoin the Offer and
obtain  unspecified  monetary  damages.  A  settlement  of this  litigation  was
proposed and was preliminarily  approved by the United States District Court for
the  District of  Massachusetts  (the  "Court") on  September  27, 1995. A final
settlement  hearing is scheduled  on November  15, 1995. A second class  action,
brought in the Superior Court of the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts,  seeks to
enjoin the Offer,  obtain  unspecified  monetary  damages,  and intervene in the
first  class  action.  The  plaintiffs  have filed  objections  to the  proposed
settlement of the first action.  At this date,  these  objections  have not been
acted upon by the Superior Court. As of the Offer  expiration  date, the limited
partners of the Partnership had tendered  approximately 37,589 Units or 7.23% of
the total  outstanding  Units of the  Partnership to AALP.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  the operations of the  Partnership  are not expected to be adversely
affected by the proceedings or proposed settlements.


NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE

     Notes  payable at  September  30, 1995  consisted of  installment  notes of
$102,090 payable to bank lenders. All of the installment notes are non-recourse,
with an  interest  rate of 7.13% and are  collateralized  by the  equipment  and
assignment of the related lease payments.  The  installment  notes will be fully
amortized by noncancellable rents in the year ending September 30, 1996.


NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On September 7, 1993, Rose's Stores,  Inc. (the "Debtor"),  a lessee of
the  Partnership,  filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
AFG, on behalf of the  Partnership  and various other  AFG-sponsored  investment
programs,  filed a proof of claim in this  case,  which  claim was  amended  and
restated.  In August  1994,  the  Bankruptcy  Court  approved a Motion to Reject
Certain Executory Equipment Leases filed by the Debtor relating to approximately
$212,000 of equipment owned by this  Partnership.  The Partnership sold all such
equipment during 1994 and recognized a net gain of $233 for financial  statement
purposes.  During 1995, the Partnership  sold an additional  $2,313 of equipment
previously  leased to the Debtor and recognized a net gain of $145 for financial
statement  purposes.   At  September  30,  1995,  the  Partnership  owned  other
equipment,  having an original cost of $439,027, which was leased to the Debtor.
This  equipment  represents  approximately  6% of  the  Partnership's  aggregate
equipment  portfolio and is fully depreciated for financial  statement purposes.
All of this  equipment  is being  leased  pursuant to renewal  rental  schedules
executed by the Debtor.

         The Debtor's First Amended Joint Plan of  Reorganization  (the "Plan of
Reorganization")  was adopted on December 14,  1994.  On June 8, 1995 and August
18, 1995,  AFG, on behalf of the  Partnership  and various  other  AFG-sponsored
investment programs, was issued 17,023 shares and 7,296 shares, respectively, of
the Debtor's  common stock  pursuant to the Plan of  Reorganization.  The common
stock,  no par value  stock,  which had a market value of $2.38 and $2.56 at the
respective  settlement dates, was issued in full satisfaction of the outstanding
unsecured  claims  of  the  affected  investment  programs.   The  Partnership's
proportionate  interest  in this  settlement  is  5.46% or  approximately  1,329
shares.  This bankruptcy did not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position of the Partnership.

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

Three and nine months ended  September  30, 1995  compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1994:

Overview

     As an equipment  leasing  partnership,  the  Partnership  was  organized to
acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements
with third  parties.  The  Partnership  was designed to progress  through  three
principal  phases:  acquisitions,   operations,  and  liquidation.   During  the
operations  phase,  a period of  approximately  six years,  all equipment in the
Partnership's  portfolio will progress  through various stages.  Initially,  all
equipment  will generate  rental  revenue  under primary term lease  agreements.
During  the  life  of  the  Partnership,  these  agreements  will  expire  on an
intermittent  basis and equipment  held  pursuant to the related  leases will be
renewed,  re-leased or sold,  depending on prevailing  market conditions and the
assessment of such  conditions by AFG to obtain the most  advantageous  economic
benefit.  Over time, a greater portion of the Partnership's  original  equipment
portfolio  will  become  available  for  remarketing  and  cash  generated  from
operations and from sales or refinancings  will begin to fluctuate.  Ultimately,
all  equipment  will  be  sold  and  the  Partnership  will  be  dissolved.  The
Partnership's operations commenced in 1988.


Results of Operations

     For the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1995,  the  Partnership
recognized  lease  revenue of $164,480 and $474,639,  respectively,  compared to
$236,785  and  $820,428  for the same  periods in 1994.  The  decrease  in lease
revenue between 1994 and 1995 was expected and resulted principally from primary
lease term expirations and the sale of equipment.

     The Partnership's  equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the
Partnership  holds  a  proportionate  ownership  interest.  In such  cases,  the
remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated  equipment leasing program
sponsored by AFG.  Proportionate  equipment ownership enables the Partnership to
further  diversify its equipment  portfolio by participating in the ownership of
selected assets,  thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result
from a  concentration  in any single  equipment  type,  industry or lessee.  The
Partnership  and each  affiliate  individually  report,  in  proportion to their
respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets,  liabilities,
revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.

     Interest  income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$6,141 and  $19,673,  respectively,  compared to $5,263 and $13,025 for the same
periods in 1994.  Interest  income is generated  from  temporary  investment  of
rental  receipts and  equipment  sale proceeds in  short-term  instruments.  The
increase in interest income from 1994 to 1995 is principally  attributable to an
increase in interest rates.  The amount of future interest income is expected to
fluctuate in relation to prevailing  interest rates,  the level of lease revenue
and the proceeds from equipment sales.

     During the three months ended  September  30, 1995,  the  Partnership  sold
equipment  which  had been  fully  depreciated  to  existing  lessees  and third
parties.  These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial  statement purposes,
of $345 compared to a net gain of $2,769 on equipment having a net book value of
$11,732 for the same period in 1994.

11

     During the nine months ended  September  30,  1995,  the  Partnership  sold
equipment  which  had been  fully  depreciated  to  existing  lessees  and third
parties.  These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial  statement reporting
purposes,  of $181,640  compared to a net gain of $11,221 on equipment  having a
net book value of $25,363 for the same period in 1994.
     It cannot be determined  whether future sales of equipment will result in a
net  gain  or a net  loss  to the  Partnership,  as  such  transactions  will be
dependent  upon  the  condition  and  type  of  equipment  being  sold  and  its
marketability  at the time of sale.  In  addition,  the  amount  of gain or loss
reported for financial  statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of
accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.

     The  ultimate  realization  of residual  value for any type of equipment is
dependent  upon many  factors,  including  AFG's  ability  to sell and  re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions,  industry trends, technological advances,
and many other  events can  converge to enhance or detract  from asset values at
any given  time.  AFG  attempts  to monitor  these  changes in order to identify
opportunities  which may be  advantageous  to the  Partnership  and  which  will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.

     The total economic  value realized upon final  disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset,  together
with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds  realized upon the
asset's sale in addition to all other cash  receipts  obtained  from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership classifies
such residual rental payments as lease revenue. Consequently, the amount of gain
or loss reported in the financial  statements is not  necessarily  indicative of
the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment.

     Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
was $64,202 and  $195,781,  respectively,  compared to $130,342 and $476,423 for
the same periods in 1994. For financial reporting  purposes,  to the extent that
an  asset  is held on  primary  lease  term,  the  Partnership  depreciates  the
difference  between  (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the  estimated  residual
value of the asset on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of this
policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values at the
date of primary lease expiration. To the extent that an asset is held beyond its
primary lease term,  the  Partnership  continues to depreciate the remaining net
book  value of the asset on a  straight-line  basis over the  asset's  remaining
economic life.

     Interest  expense was $1,929 and $7,749,  or 1.2% and 1.6% of lease revenue
for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1995 compared to $14,320 and
$31,712,  or 6% and 3.9% of lease revenue for the same periods in 1994. Interest
expense in future periods will continue to decline in amount and as a percentage
of lease  revenue as the principal  balance of notes payable is reduced  through
the application of rent receipts to outstanding debt.

     Management  fees  were 5% of lease  revenue  in each of the  periods  ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 and will not change as a percentage of lease revenue
in future periods.

     Operating   expenses  consist   principally  of   administrative   charges,
professional  service costs,  such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution and remarketing  expenses.  In certain cases,  equipment storage or
repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being
remarketed.  Collectively,  operating expenses represented 8.3% and 12% of lease
revenue  for the  three  and  nine  month  periods  ended  September  30,  1995,
respectively,  compared to 27.7% and 11.3% of lease revenue for the same periods
in 1994.  Operating  expenses were higher in 1994 than in 1995 due to repair and
maintenance  costs  incurred in  connection  with the  re-lease of an  L1011-100
aircraft to a third party and legal costs  incurred in  connection  with a sales
tax dispute.  The amount of future  operating  expenses cannot be predicted with
certainty;  however, such expenses are usually higher during the acquisition and
liquidation  phases of a  partnership.  Other  fluctuations  typically  occur in
relation to the volume and timing of remarketing activities.





Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows

     The  Partnership  by  its  nature  is  a  limited  life  entity  which  was
established for specific purposes described in the preceding  "Overview".  As an
equipment leasing program,  the  Partnership's  principal  operating  activities
derive from asset rental transactions.  Accordingly, the Partnership's principal
source of cash from  operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents.
These cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations  associated with
leveraged  leases,  and to pay management  fees and operating  costs.  Operating
activities generated net cash inflows of $463,425 and $717,031 in 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Future renewal, re-lease and equipment sale activities will cause
a gradual decline in the Partnership's  lease revenue and corresponding  sources
of operating cash. Overall, expenses associated with rental activities,  such as
management fees, and net cash flow from operating activities will decline as the
Partnership experiences a higher frequency of remarketing events.

     Ultimately,  the Partnership  will dispose of all assets under lease.  This
will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold
to the  existing  lessee or to a third  party.  Generally,  this will occur upon
expiration  of  each  asset's  primary  or  renewal/re-lease  term.  In  certain
instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an
asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of
stipulated cash  settlements  pursuant to terms and conditions  contained in the
underlying lease agreements.

     Cash  expended for  equipment  acquisitions  and cash  realized  from asset
disposal   transactions   are  reported  under   investing   activities  on  the
accompanying  Statement  of Cash Flows.  In 1994,  the  Partnership  capitalized
$7,160 in connection with the upgrade of an L1011-100 aircraft.  During the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership  realized $181,640 in equipment
sale proceeds compared to $36,584 for the same period in 1994. Future inflows of
cash from asset  disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced
by many factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and timing of lease
expirations, the type of equipment being sold, its condition and age, and future
market conditions.

     The  Partnership  obtained  long-term  financing in connection with certain
equipment  leases.  The repayments of principal related to such indebtedness are
reported as a component of financing  activities.  Each note payable is recourse
only to the  specific  equipment  financed  and to the minimum  rental  payments
contracted  to be received  during the debt  amortization  period  (which period
generally  coincides  with the  lease  rental  term).  As  rental  payments  are
collected,  a  portion  or all of the  rental  payment  is  used  to  repay  the
associated  indebtedness.  In future  periods,  the amount of cash used to repay
debt  obligations  will  decline as the  principal  balance of notes  payable is
reduced through the collection and application of rents.

     Cash  distributions  to the  General  Partners  and  Recognized  Owners are
declared  and  generally  paid within  fifteen  days  following  the end of each
calendar quarter.  The payment of such distributions is presented as a component
of financing activities. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, the
Partnership  declared  total  cash  distributions  of  Distributable  Cash  From
Operations and  Distributable  Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $492,354.  In
accordance  with the Amended and Restated  Agreement and  Certificate of Limited
Partnership, the Recognized Owners were allocated 99% of these distributions, or
$487,430,  and the General  Partners  were  allocated  1%, or $4,924.  The third
quarter 1995 cash distribution was paid on October 13, 1995.

        Cash  distributions  paid to the  Recognized  Owners  consist  of both a
return of and a return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist
of Cash From Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions
should be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and
are not indicative of yield on investment.  Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined  with any certainty  until  conclusion of the Partnership and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future  contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at
its disposal date. Future market conditions,  technological changes, the ability
of  AFG  to  manage  and  remarket  the  assets,   and  many  other  events  and
circumstances,  could  enhance or detract from  individual  asset yields and the
collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio.

        The  future  liquidity  of the  Partnership  will be  influenced  by the
foregoing and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents
and the outcome of residual activities. The Managing General Partner anticipates
that cash proceeds  resulting from these sources will satisfy the  Partnership's
future  expense   obligations.   However,  the  amount  of  cash  available  for
distribution in future periods will fluctuate.  Equipment lease  expirations and
asset disposals will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating  activities
to diminish  over time;  and  equipment  sale  proceeds  will vary in amount and
period of realization.  Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of quarterly cash
distributions will occur during the life of the Partnership.
