                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1.  General.

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
prepared by the  Partnership in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of Management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information  presented not misleading,  it is suggested that these condensed
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
the notes included in the Partnership's  Financial Statement,  as filed with the
SEC in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Note 2.  Reclassification.

         Reclassification  - Certain  1995  amounts  have been  reclassified  to
conform to the 1996 presentation.

Note 3.  Income Taxes.

         Federal  and state  income tax  regulations  provide  that taxes on the
income  or loss of the  Partnership  are  reportable  by the  partners  in their
individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for such taxes has been
made in the accompanying financial statements.

Note 4.   Notes Receivable.

         Impaired Notes Receivable. At June 30, 1996, the recorded investment in
notes that are considered to be impaired under  Statement No. 114 was $1,187,000
for which the related  allowance  for losses is $706,000.  The average  recorded
investment  in  impaired  loans  during the six months  ended June 30,  1996 was
approximately $1,237,000.

           The activity in the allowance for losses on notes  receivable  during
the six months ended June 30, is as follows:

Note 5.    Net Income (Loss) and Distribution Per Limited Partnership Unit.

           Net income and distributions per limited  partnership unit were based
on the limited partners' share of net income and distributions, and the weighted
average  number of units  outstanding of 7,526 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995. For purposes of allocating net income (loss) and distributions to
each individual limited partner, the Partnership allocates net income (loss) and
distributions   based  upon  each  respective   limited  partner's  net  capital
contributions.

                        A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP


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

Results of Operations

     The  Partnership  reported a net loss of $13,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, as compared to net income of $16,000 for the same period in 1995.
During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the  Partnership  reported net income
of $24,000,  as compared  to net income of $19,000  during the six months  ended
June 30, 1995.  The  decrease in  Partnership  earnings  during the three months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995, is  attributable to
an increase in total expenses.  The increase in Partnership  earnings during the
six months  ended June 30,  1996,  as compared  to the same  period in 1995,  is
attributable to an increase in revenues.

     The decrease in total revenues during the three months ended June 30, 1996,
as compared to the same period in 1995,  was  primarily the result of a decrease
in earned  income  from  financing  leases.  This  decrease is  reflective  of a
decrease in the net investment in finance leases. The Partnership reported a net
investment  in finance  leases of  $184,000  at June 30,  1996,  as  compared to
$423,000 at June 30, 1995.

     The increase in total  revenues  during the six months ended June 30, 1996,
as compared to the same period in 1995,  was primarily the result of an increase
in earnings from joint ventures. The increase in earnings from joint ventures is
attributable to the sale of a cable television  system owned by one of the joint
ventures during the first quarter of 1996.

     The Partnership did not report interest income from notes receivable during
the three and six months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  This is a result of the
Partnership's  investment in notes  receivable  being classified as impaired and
the  recognition  of  interest  income  on  such  notes  being  suspended.   The
Partnership has an investment in an impaired note receivable with a net carrying
value  (before  consideration  of the  allowance  for  losses  of  $706,000)  of
approximately $1,187,000 at June 30, 1996.

     Total  expenses  increased by $24,000 and $16,000  during the three and six
months  ended June 30,  1996,  as  compared  to the same  periods  in 1995.  The
increase in expenses  during the three and six months  ended June 30,  1996,  as
compared to the same period in 1995,  is due to an  adjustment  to the provision
for losses on receivables made during 1995. During the six months ended June 30,
1995,  the  Partnership  received  a  settlement  payment  on a  defaulted  note
receivable  from a cable  television  system operator in an amount that exceeded
the net carrying value of this note. As a result,  the  Partnership  recovered a
portion  of the  allowance  for loan  losses,  recognizing  this  recovery  as a
reduction to the allowance for loan losses. Partially offsetting the increase in
total  expenses was a decrease in legal  expenses of $11,000 and $12,000  during
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in
1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Partnership's  primary source of liquidity  comes from its contractual
obligations  with lessees and borrowers to receive rental  payments and payments
of principal and interest.  The future  liquidity of the Partnership will depend
upon the General Partner's success in collecting scheduled  contractual payments
from its lessees and borrowers. Additionally, the Partnership has investments in
foreclosed  cable systems joint ventures that it receives cash  distributions of
the excess cash flows.

                                                                    Page 8 of 10


     The cash generated by leasing and financing  activities was $227,000 during
the six months  ended June 30,  1996,  as compared  to $161,000  during the same
period in 1995. The net cash  generated by leasing and financing  activities was
lower during 1995 due to the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  received cash
distributions  of $67,000 from  foreclosed  cable  systems  joint  ventures,  as
compared to cash  distributions  of $10,000 from foreclosed  cable systems joint
ventures  during the same  period in 1995.  This  increase in  distributions  is
attributable  to the  distribution of the sale proceeds from the sale of a cable
television  system owned by one of these joint ventures during the first quarter
of 1996.

     As of June 30, 1996, the  Partnership  owned equipment being held for lease
with an  original  cost of $89,000  and a net book value of $0, as  compared  to
$212,000 and $1,000 at June 30, 1995. The General  Partner is actively  engaged,
on behalf of the  Partnership,  in  remarketing  and selling  the  Partnership's
equipment as it becomes available.

     The cash  distributed  to partners  was  $283,000  and $532,000 for the six
months  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  In  accordance  with the
Partnership  Agreement,  the Limited  Partners  are  entitled to 99% of the cash
available  for  distribution  and the  General  Partner is  entitled to 1%. As a
result,  the Limited  Partners  received  $280,000 and $527,000 in distributions
during the period  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The  cumulative
cash distributions to limited partners are $5,837,000 and $5,276,000 at June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  The General Partner received $3,000 and $5,000 for
its share of the cash  distributions  during the period  ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

     The  Partnership  made its quarterly  distribution to partners on April 15,
1996 at the same rate as the January 15, 1996 distribution,  but at a rate lower
than the  distributions  made during the same period in 1995.  The  distribution
made on April 15, 1996 was the last scheduled quarterly distribution made by the
Partnership.  The Partnership has switched to an annual distribution method with
the first annual  distribution to be made on January 15, 1997. The Partnership's
ability  to  distribute  cash to  partners  is  dependent  upon the  Partnership
receiving its contractual  payments from notes receivable and financing  leases.
If the cash generated by Partnership operations decrease below expectations, the
distributions to partners will be adjusted accordingly.

     Cash  generated  from  leasing  and  financing  operations  has been and is
anticipated  to continue to be sufficient to meet the  Partnership's  continuing
operational expenses.
