                        A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                          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 (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 six months ended
June 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.

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 $12,000 and $21,000 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively,  compared to a net gain of $92,000
and $84,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively.

     Total income  decreased  by $117,000 and $119,000  during the three and six
months  ended June 30, 1999,  compared to the same period in the previous  year.
The  decrease is  attributable  to the  absence of a gain on sale of  securities
during 1999,  compared to a gain on $111,000 on sale of securities for the three
and  six  months  ended  June  30,  1998,  respectively.  The  decline  is  also
attributable  to a decline in interest income due to a decrease in the amount of
cash being generated by the Partnership.

     Total expenses  decreased  $13,000 and $14,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30,  1999,  compared to the same  period in the prior year,  due to a
decrease in losses from joint ventures.  This decrease in expenses is due to one
of the two cable system joint ventures the  partnership  participates in closing
during 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The cash used by leasing and financing  activities  was $10,000  during the
six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to cash  generated of $19,000 during
the same  period in 1998.  The  decrease  in net cash  generated  by leasing and
financing  activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 is due primarily to
the decline in accounts  receivable of $22,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999, compared to 1998.

     The cash  distributed  to partners  was $0 and  $389,000 for the six months
ended June 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 period ended June
30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The cumulative cash  distributions to limited
partners are $7,519,000 and $7,380,000 at June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.
The  General  Partner  received  $0  and  $4,000  for  its  share  of  the  cash
distributions during the period ended June 30, 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 critical  software  and
hardware is planned to be completed by October 31, 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.

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  not  yet  responded  to  the  Ash  Complaint,   which
plaintiffs amended twice.  Discovery has not commenced.  The Companies intend to
vigorously defend the Complaint.
