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 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 nine months ended September
30, 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.

of Operations.

Results of Operations
Phoenix High Tech/High Yield Fund, a California limited partnership ("the
Partnership") reported net income of $25,000 and $4,000 for the three and nine
months September 30, 1999, respectively, compared to net income of $0 and
$84,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.
Total income decreased by $103,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 1999, compared to the same period in the previous year. The decrease is
attributable to a decrease in gain on sale of securities. The gain on sale of
securities for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $2,000, compared to
a gain on sale of securities of $111,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, respectively. The decline in total revenues during 1999 is also
attributable to a decline in other income which is a result of a reduction in
interest income from the Partnership's bank account due to a decrease in the
amount of cash being generated by the Partnership.
Total income increased by $11,000 during the three months ended September
30, 1999, compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase is due
to increased earnings from a cable system joint venture that was sold during the
three months ended September 30, 1999.
Total expenses decreased $14,000 and $23,000 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to
an overall reduction in most expense items.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The cash used in leasing and financing activities was $11,000 during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to cash generated of $21,000
during the same period in 1998. The decrease in cash generated is a result of
the liquidation of the Partnership's assets.
The cash distributed to partners was $0 and $389,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 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 $385,000 in distributions during
the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
cumulative cash distributions to limited partners are $7,519,000 and $7,380,000
at September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The General Partner received $0
and $4,000 for its share of the cash distributions during the period ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Partnership plans to make its
next distribution to partners in December 1999.

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 "Berger Action"). Plaintiffs then dismissed the remaining
claims in Sacramento Superior Court and refiled them in a separate lawsuit
making similar allegations (the "Ash Action"). That complaint was subsequently
transferred to Marin County as well.
Plaintiffs have amended the Berger Action twice. Defendants recently
answered the complaint. Discovery has recently commenced. The Companies intend
to vigorously defend the Complaint.
Defendants have filed a demurrer to the Ash Complaint, which plaintiffs
amended three times. Discovery has not commenced. The Companies intend to
vigorously defend the Complaint.
