(1)   Organization and Partnership Matters

The foregoing financial statements of Wellesley Lease Income Limited Partnership

regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission for Form 10-Q and reflect
all  adjustments  which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.  Pursuant to such
rules and  regulations,  certain note  disclosures  which are normally  required
under  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have  been  omitted.  It  is
recommended  that these  financial  statements be read in  conjunction  with the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

The financial  statements  include allowances for estimated losses on receivable
balances.  The  allowances  for  doubtful  accounts  are based on past write off
experience  and an evaluation  of potential  uncollectible  accounts  within the
current  receivable  balances.  Receivable  balances  which are determined to be
uncollectible  are charged against the allowance and subsequent  recoveries,  if
any, are credited to the allowance. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the
allowance for doubtful accounts included in rents receivable was $34,889 and the
allowance for doubtful accounts included in sales receivable was $4,906.

$5,257,666,  subject  to  existing  leases  and  equipment  with a cost basis of

(7)   Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities," which requires  investments
in debt and equity  securities  other than those  accounted for under the equity
method  to be  carried  at fair  value or  amortized  cost  for debt  securities
expected to be held to maturity,  the Partnership has classified its investments
in equity  securities as available  for sale.  Accordingly,  the net  unrealized
gains and losses computed in marking these  securities to market are reported as
a component of partners'  equity.  At March 31, 1996 the difference  between the
fair value and the cost basis of these securities is an unrealized loss of $682.

The fair value is based on currently  quoted market  prices.  The cost basis and
estimated  fair value of the  Partnership's  marketable  securities at March 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, are as follows:

Results of Operations

The following discussion relates to the Partnership's operations for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 in comparison to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

The Partnership  realized a net loss of $31,430 and net income of $5,952 for the
quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Rental income  decreased
$10,317 or 2% between  the three month  periods  primarily  due to lower  rental
rates generated on equipment lease extensions and  remarketings  resulting after
the initial  lease term expires and due to a net decrease in the overall size of
the equipment portfolio.  Interest income decreased as a result of lower average
short-term investment balances held during the current quarter.

Total  costs and  expenses  increased  $20,998  or 4%  between  the three  month
periods.  The slight  increase  in costs and  expenses is  primarily  due to the
$9,149  increase in  depreciation  expense and the $10,785  increase in interest
expense.  Depreciation expense increased due to the purchase of equipment during
the current quarter for which  commitments  were made in 1995.  Interest expense
increased as the Partnership  received  additional  financing of $189,942 during
the current  quarter and continued to paydown its existing  debt.  The long-term
debt  balance at March 31, 1996 was  $1,018,995  versus a balance of $545,472 at
March 31, 1995.

The Partnership  recorded a net loss per Limited  Partnership  Unit of $1.18 and
$0.96  for the  quarters  ended  March  31,  1996 and  1995,  respectively.  The
allocation  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1996  includes  a cost  recovery
allocation  of profit and loss among the  General  and  Limited  Partners  which
results in an allocation of net loss to the Limited Partners. This cost recovery
allocation  is  required  to  maintain  capital  accounts  consistent  with  the
distribution  provisions of the Partnership  Agreement.  In certain periods, the
cost  recovery of profit and loss may result in an allocation of net loss to the
Limited Partners in instances when the Partnership's  operations were profitable
for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the quarter ended March 31, 1996,  rental  revenue  generated from operating
leases was the primary source of funds for the Partnership.  As equipment leases
terminate,  the General Partner  determines if the equipment will be extended to
the same lessee,  remarketed  to another  lessee,  or if it is less  marketable,
sold. This decision is made upon analyzing which options would generate the most
favorable results.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                   (Unaudited)

Rental income will continue to decrease due to two factors.  The first factor is
the lower rate  obtained  due to the  remarketing  of  existing  equipment  upon
expiration of the original leases.  Typically the remarketed rates are lower due
to the decrease in useful life of the equipment. Secondly, the increasing change
of technology in the computer  industry  usually  decreases the demand for older
equipment,  thus  increasing  the  possibility  of  obsolescence.  Both of these
factors together will cause remarketed rates to be lower than original rates and
will cause certain leases to terminate upon expiration.  This decrease  however,
should  not  affect  the   Partnership's   ability  to  meet  its  future   cash
requirements,  including  its  long-term  debt and  notes  payable  -  affiliate
obligations. To the extent that future cash flows should be insufficient to meet
the Partnership's operating expenses and liabilities,  additional funds could be
obtained  through  the sale of  equipment,  or a  reduction  in the rate of cash
distributions,  as was the case this quarter.  Future rental  revenues amount to
$2,878,178 and are to be received over the next six years.

The  Partnership's  investing  activities  resulted in  equipment  purchases  of
$506,622  and sales of  equipment  with a  depreciated  cost basis of  $121,621,
generating  $122,761  in  proceeds.  The  Partnership  has no  material  capital
expenditure  commitments  and will not  purchase  equipment in the future as the
Partnership has reached the end of its reinvestment period.

The  Partnership's  financing  activities  during the  quarter  resulted  in the
receipt of  $189,942  in cash  proceeds  and the  paydown on  long-term  debt of
$131,450.  Such  long-term debt bears interest rates ranging from 6.00% to 8.15%
with installments to be paid monthly. Total debt assumed by the Partnership from
inception is  $14,270,105,  for a total  leverage of 43%. The  Partnership  also
received  $223,600 in cash  proceeds from the borrowing of three notes payable -
affiliate. The notes payable each bear interest at 8.75% and mature in 1996.

Cash  distributions  are  currently  at  an  annual  level  of  2%  per  Limited
Partnership Unit or $2.50 per Limited Partnership Unit on a quarterly basis. For
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership  declared a cash  distribution
of $71,647, of which $3,582 was allocated to the General Partner and $68,065 was
allocated  to the Limited  Partners.  The  distribution  will be made on May 29,
1996. The Partnership's distribution rate dropped significantly during the first
quarter of 1996 due to the large amount of equipment purchases,  for which there
existed firm purchase commitments in 1995. Since the Partnership's  reinvestment
period ended on December 31, 1995, the General  Partner made a concerted  effort
to purchase as many equipment  leases as possible to sustain the  Partnership in
future years.  The effort resulted in significant  equipment lease  acquisitions
with a resulting  reduction in cash  available for  distribution  purposes.  All
future cash received will be used to cover  operating  expenses and to make cash
distributions to the Partners.

On  January 9, 1996,  TLP  Holding  LLC  purchased  all the common  stock of TLP
Leasing  Programs,  Inc.  from CMI Holding Co.  Under the new  ownership,  it is
expected  that TLP Leasing  Programs,  Inc. will continue to operate in the same
manner of business as it has in the past.
