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.
The Partnership Agreement stipulates the methods by which income will
be allocated to the General Partner and the limited partners. Such allocations
will be made using income or loss calculated under Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles for book purposes, which varies from income or loss calculated for
tax purposes.
The calculation of items of income and loss for book and tax purposes
may result in book basis capital accounts that vary from the tax basis capital
accounts. The requirement to restore any deficit capital balances by the General
Partner will be determined based on the tax basis capital accounts. At
liquidation of the Partnership, the General Partner's remaining book basis
capital account will be reduced to zero through the allocation of income or
loss.
Note 2. Reclassification.
----------------
Reclassification - Certain 1997 amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 1998 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. Net Income (Loss) and Distribution Per Limited Partnership Unit.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Net income (loss) and distributions per limited partnership unit were
based on the limited partners' share of net income (loss) and distributions, and
the weighted average number of units outstanding of 7,526 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations.
---------------------
Results of Operations
Phoenix High Tech/High Yield Fund, a California limited partnership ("the
Partnership") reported net income of $92,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998, as compared to net loss of $9,000 for the same period in 1997. For the six
months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership reported net income of $84,000
compared to net income of $35,000 for the same period in 1997. The improvement
in earnings for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to
1997 is attributable to a gain on sale of securities of $111,000. The gain on
sale of securities, for which the Partnership received proceeds of $111,000
during the quarter ended June 30, 1998, is due to the exercise and sale of stock
warrants held by the Partnership. The increase in management fees of $2,000 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 is a result of an increase in gross revenues
attributable to the proceeds received from the sale of securities.
The absence of an amortization of acquisition fees and legal expenses for
both the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same periods
in 1997, also contributed to increasing net income. The absence of amortization
of acquisition fees and legal expenses are a result of the Partnership's
remaining equipment being sold and the remaining net investment in financing
leases coming to the end of their term during the third quarter of 1997.
Additionally as a result of the Partnership selling its remaining equipment
and the net investment in financing leases having reached the end of its term,
the Partnership is experiencing a decrease in cash generated from leasing and
financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same
period in 1997. This decrease in cash generated has resulted in a reduction in
interest income earned on the Partnership's cash balance. The decline in other
income of $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 is attributable to the
decrease in interest income.
The increase in loss from joint ventures of $9,000 and $6,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to the same
periods in 1997, is due to a loss on sale of assets in one of the foreclosed
cable system joint ventures in which the Partnership has an investment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The cash generated by leasing and financing activities was $19,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $119,000 during the same
period in 1997. The decrease in net cash generated by leasing and financing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 is due primarily to the
absence of principal payments from financing leases, compared to $87,000 for the
prior year.
The cash distributed to partners was $389,000 and $1,169,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, 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 $385,000 and $1,157,000 in distributions
during the period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The cumulative
cash distributions to limited partners are $7,380,000 and $6,995,000 at June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The General Partner received $4,000 and $12,000 for
7
<PAGE>
its share of the cash distributions during the period ended June 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
Distributions for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were higher than usual
as a result of the receipt of a settlement payment on an impaired note during
the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The Partnership included these proceeds in
the January 15, 1997 distribution to partners.
The term of the Partnership expires on December 31, 1999. However, the
General Partner anticipates liquidating the remaining assets by December 31,
1998.
