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 1998 amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 1999 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 loss 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 three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998. 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 a net loss of $9,000 and $8,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Total income decreased by $2,000 during the three months ended March
31, 1999, compared to the same period in the previous year. The decrease in
total income during the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to 1998, is
attributable to a decline in interest income due to a decrease in the amount of
cash being generated by the Partnership.
Total expenses remained virtually the same for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The cash used by leasing and financing activities was $3,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to cash generated of $17,000
during the same period in 1998. The decrease in net cash generated by leasing
and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 is due
primarily to the decline in accounts receivable of $22,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, compared to 1998.
The cash distributed to partners was $0 and $390,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, 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 $0 and $386,000 in distributions during
the period ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The cumulative cash
distributions to limited partners are $7,519,000 and $7,381,000 at March 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The General Partner received $0 and $4,000 for its
share of the cash distributions during the period ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The Partnership plans to make its next distribution to partners in
December 1999.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
ReSource/Phoenix, Inc. ("ReSource/Phoenix"), an affiliate of the parent
to the General Partner does all local computer processing for the General
Partner. And as such Resource/Phoenix manages the Year 2000 project on behalf of
the General Partner.
Resource/Phoenix has a Year 2000 project plan in place. The Year 2000
project team has identified risks, and has implemented remediation procedures
for its Year 2000 issues. ReSource/Phoenix has budgeted for the necessary
changes, built contingency plans, and has progressed along the scheduled
timeline. Installation of all remediation changes to software and hardware is
planned to be completed by September 15, 1999.

Costs incurred by the Partnership will be expensed as incurred and are
not currently anticipated to be material to the Partnership's financial position
or results of operations.
The Partnership's customers consist of lessees and borrowers. The
Partnership does not have exposure to any individual customer that would
materially impact the Partnership should the customer experience a significant
Year 2000 problem, however, cumulative exposure to multiple individual customers
could materially impact the Partnership should multiple customers experience a
significant Year 2000 problem.

Part II. Other Information
-----------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
-----------------
On October 28, 1997, a Class Action Complaint was filed against Phoenix
Leasing Incorporated, Phoenix Leasing Associates, II and III LP., Phoenix
Securities Inc. and Phoenix American Incorporated (the "Companies") in
California Superior Court for the County of Sacramento by eleven individuals on
behalf of investors in Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Funds I through V (the
"Partnerships"). The Companies were served with the Complaint on December 9,
1997. The Complaint sought declaratory and other relief including accounting,
receivership, imposition of a constructive trust and judicial dissolution and
winding up of the Partnerships, and damages based on fraud, breach of fiduciary
duty and breach of contract by the Companies as general partners of the
Partnerships.
Plaintiffs severed one cause of action from the Complaint, a claim
related to the marketing and sale of CDF V, and transferred it to Marin County
Superior Court (the "Marin Action"). Plaintiffs then dismissed the remaining
claims in Sacramento Superior Court and refiled them in a separate lawsuit
making similar allegations (the"Sacramento Action").
Plaintiffs have amended the Marin Action twice. Defendants have not yet
answered the complaint and may file a demurrer to dismiss the claims. Discovery
has not commenced. The Companies intend to vigorously defend the Complaint.
In February 1999, plaintiffs requested a transfer of the Sacramento
Action to Marin County. The Court granted that request, and the case was
transferred in March 1999. Defendants have not yet responded to the Complaint.
Discovery has not commenced. The Companies intend to vigorously defend the
Complaint.
