      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 June 30, 1996, the Partnership was owed $58,964 by AFG for
   such funds and the interest thereon.  These funds were remitted to the
   Partnership in July 1996.


   NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
   ----------------------

      Notes payable at June 30, 1996 consisted of two installment notes totaling
   $332,250 payable to an institutional lender. The installment notes are non-
   recourse, and bear fluctuating rates based on the London Inter-Bank Offered
   Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.5%.  At June 30, 1996 the applicable LIBOR rates were
   approximately 7.02%.  These notes are collateralized by the equipment and
   assignment of the related lease payments and will be fully amortized by
   noncancellable rents.  The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair
   value at June 30, 1996.

      The annual maturities of the installment notes payable are as follows:

of Operations.

Three and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the three and six months
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ended June 30, 1995:
- --------------------

Overview
- --------

   The Partnership was organized in 1989 as a direct-participation equipment
leasing program to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject
to lease agreements with third parties.  The Partnership's stated investment
objectives and policies contemplated that the Partnership would wind-up its
operations within approximately seven years of its inception.  Accordingly, the
Managing General Partner is pursuing the remarketing of all of the Partnership's
remaining equipment and has engaged an investment adviser to solicit interested
third-party buyers.  This effort is being undertaken in conjunction with certain
other affiliated partnerships and, if successful, would result in the sale of
each affected partnership's assets to a selected buyer.  The Managing General
Partner believes this approach will (i) maximize the disposition prices of each
partnership's assets and (ii) prevent the incidence of future expenses to
operate a publicly-registered limited partnership with a declining asset base.
The Managing General Partner is evaluating expressions of interest submitted by
the investment adviser from a number of potential buyers, but is under no
obligation to accept any proposal.  If successful, the Managing General Partner
anticipates that it would wind-up the operations of the Partnership and make a
liquidating distribution to the Partners, net of any cash reserves which the
Managing General Partner may consider appropriate, on or before December 31,
1996.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

   For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership recognized
lease revenue of $517,109 and $1,083,950, respectively, compared to $795,555 and
$1,539,753 for the same periods in 1995.  The decrease in lease revenue from
1995 to 1996 was expected and resulted principally from primary lease term
expirations and the sale of equipment.  The Partnership also earns interest
income from temporary investments of rental receipts and equipment sales
proceeds in short-term instruments.

   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.

   For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership sold equipment
having a net book value of $10,228 to existing lessees and third parties.  These
sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $105,370
compared to a net gain in 1995 of $148,834 on equipment having a net book value
of $95,730.

   For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership sold equipment having
a net book value of $12,781 to existing lessees and third parties. These sales
resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $149,330 compared
to a net gain in 1995 of $371,326 on equipment having a net book value of
$106,549.

   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

                                       9

                         PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION



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 revenues 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 six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$138,311 and $304,062, respectively, compared to $227,022 and $486,626 for the
same periods in 1995.  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 equipment 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 $5,157 and $12,000 or 1% and 1.1% of lease revenue for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to $12,122
and $25,233 or 1.5% and 1.6% of lease revenue for the same periods in 1995.
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 during each of the periods ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 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 3.8% and 3.6% of lease
revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared
to 3.6% and 4.1% of lease revenue for the same periods in 1995.  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 

                                       10

                         PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION



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 $1,288,938 and $1,576,583 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease and
equipment sale activities will cause a gradual decline in the Partnership's
lease revenues 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 realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows.  During the six months
ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership realized $162,111 in equipment sale
proceeds compared to $477,875 in 1995.  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 six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership
declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $1,604,320.  In accordance
with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership,
the Recognized Owners were allocated 99% of these distributions, or $1,588,277,
and the General Partners were allocated 1%, or $16,043.  The second quarter 1996
cash distribution was paid on July 15, 1996.

   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 contracted rents, the generation of renewal
and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at its
disposal date.  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 Partnership's future cash distributions will be adversely affected by the
1991 bankruptcy of Midway Airlines, Inc ("Midway").  Although this bankruptcy
had no immediate adverse effect on the Partnership's cash flow, as the
Partnership had almost fully leveraged its ownership interest in the underlying
aircraft leased to Midway, this event resulted in the Partnership's loss of any
future interest in the residual value of the aircraft.  This bankruptcy will
have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to achieve all
of its originally intended economic benefits.  However, the final yield on
capital will be dependent upon the collective performance results of all the
Partnership's equipment leases.
