      ---------------------

      The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been prepared in

      financial  information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
      Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information
      and disclosures  required by generally accepted accounting  principles for
      annual financial statements.  In the opinion of the general partners,  all
      adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)  considered
      necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet at

The  Partnership is in its liquidation  period,  as set forth in the Partnership
Agreement.  As expected,  new equipment  purchases have been discontinued (other
than for  upgrades,  if any),  initial  leases are expiring and the equipment is
being remarketed (i.e.,  re-leased,  renewed or sold). As a result,  the size of
the  Partnership's  leasing  portfolio  and the  amount of  Partnership  leasing
revenue and expenses are declining (referred to in this discussion as "portfolio
run-off").

LEASING MARGIN, continued

Operating lease rentals and depreciation and amortization have decreased and are
expected to decrease  further  primarily as a result of portfolio  run-off.  The
leasing margin ratio was lower for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared
to the three  months  ended June 30, 1995  primarily  because  last year's three
month period included a large amount of remarketing  revenue from month-to-month
rentals.  Remarketing revenue (including  month-to-month  rentals) will normally
vary as initial  lease terms  expire.  If the variance is large  enough,  it can
disproportionately influence the leasing margin ratio.


The ultimate rate of return on leases depends,  in part, on the general level of
interest  rates at the time the leases  are  originated.  Because  leasing is an
alternative to financing equipment purchases with debt, lease rates tend to rise
and fall with  interest  rates  (although  lease rate  movements  generally  lag
interest rate changes in the capital markets). Interest rates declined from 1990
until the early part of 1994. The lease rates on equipment purchased during this
period  reflect  this  low  interest  rate  environment.  This  will  result  in
corresponding reductions in the ultimate overall yields to partners.


EQUIPMENT SALES MARGIN

Equipment sales margin consists of the following:

</TABLE>


The Partnership is in its liquidation period.  During the liquidation period, as
initial leases terminate,  the equipment is being remarketed (i.e., re-leased or
sold to either the  original  lessee or a third  party)  and,  accordingly,  the
timing and amount of equipment sales cannot be projected accurately.


PROVISION FOR LOSSES

The  remarketing  of  equipment  for an amount  greater  than its book  value is
reported as  equipment  sales  margin (if the  equipment  is sold) or as leasing
margin  (if the  equipment  is  re-leased).  The  realization  of less  than the
carrying  value of  equipment  (which is typically  not known until  remarketing
subsequent  to the  initial  lease  termination  has  occurred)  is  recorded as
provision for losses.


                                        8

<PAGE>



PROVISION FOR LOSSES, continued

Residual values are established equal to the estimated value to be received from
the equipment following termination of the lease. In estimating such values, the
Partnership considers all relevant facts regarding the equipment and the lessee,
including,  for  example,  the  likelihood  that the lessee  will  re-lease  the
equipment.  The nature of the  Partnership's  leasing  activities is that it has
credit  exposure and residual value exposure and,  accordingly,  in the ordinary
course of business,  it will incur losses from those exposures.  The Partnership
performs   ongoing   quarterly   assessments  of  its  assets  to  identify  any
other-than-temporary losses in value.

No provisions for losses were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to the  corresponding  period in 1995  because no  other-than-temporary
losses in the value of equipment were identified in the quarterly assessments of
the Partnership's assets.


EXPENSES

General  and  administrative   expenses  increased   primarily  due  to  $67,194
reimbursed to the CAI general partner for insurance costs related to prior years
and shipping  costs related to certain  equipment  returned to the  Partnership.
Management fees decreased primarily as a result of portfolio run-off.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

The Partnership funds its activities  principally with cash from rents, interest
income and sale of off-lease equipment.  Available cash and cash reserves of the
Partnership  are  invested in interest  bearing  accounts  and  short-term  U.S.
government securities pending distributions to the partners.

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,   the   Partnership   declared
distributions  to the Partners of  $1,828,880  (a  substantial  portion of which
constituted a return of capital).  Distributions  may be characterized  for tax,
accounting and economic purposes as a return of capital,  a return on capital or
both. The total return on capital over a leasing  partnership's life can only be
determined at the termination of the  Partnership  after all residual cash flows
(which include  proceeds from the re-leasing and sale of equipment after initial
lease terms expire) have been realized.  However,  as the general  partners have
represented   for  the  last  several  years,  a  substantial   portion  of  all
distributions to the partners is expected to be a return of capital.

The general  partners  currently  anticipate that the Partnership  will generate
cash flow from  operations and equipment  sales during 1996 which should provide
sufficient  cash to  enable  the  Partnership  to  meet  its  current  operating
requirements.




                                        9

Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued
- - -------------------------------

The general  partners have also  identified  what they believe to be an error in
the  allocation  of  taxable  income  provision  of the  Partnership  Agreement.
Specifically,  the general  partners  are not  allocated  income for entire cash
distributions  received  resulting in a deficit  capital account as shown in the
balance  sheet.  The status of a potential  change in the  allocation of taxable
income remains  unresolved pending further  discussions  between the CAI General
Partner and the Lehman General Partner.

The Partnership  anticipates that it will fund the remaining 1996  distributions
to the  limited  partners  (a  substantial  portion  of  which  is  expected  to
constitute  returns of capital)  almost entirely out of cash from operations and
cash from sales during the remainder of 1996. Because of the continuing decrease
in the size of the  Partnership's  lease portfolio,  it is anticipated that cash
from operations in 1996 will decrease  relative to cash from operations in 1995.
Therefore,  the Partnership is not expected to have sufficient cash available in
1996 to fully  fund  cash  distributions  to the  Class A  limited  partners  at
annualized  rates of 14%  (see  discussion  below).  The  Partnership  is in its
liquidation  period (as  defined in the  Partnership  Agreement).  Distributions
during the  liquidation  period  will be based upon cash  availability  and will
vary.  The  General  Partner's  current  intent  is to  sell  the  Partnership's
equipment and liquidate the  Partnership no later than December 31, 1997. As the
Partnership's  equipment is sold,  proceeds from such sales will be  distributed
also.

The Class B distributions  of cash from operations are subordinated to the Class
A limited partners receiving distributions of cash from operations, as scheduled
in the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 14%). Therefore,  because of the decrease in
the  distributions to the Class A limited  partners  effective as of March 1994,
CAII, the sole Class B limited partner,  ceased receiving  distributions of cash
from operations as of March 1994. The general partners currently anticipate that
CAII will receive  total future  Class B  distributions  of less than 25% of the
Class B limited partner's capital shown on the accompanying Balance Sheets.

           financial condition or operations of the Partnership.
