1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
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
December 31, 1996 has been derived from the audited financial statements
included in the Partnership's 1996 Form 10-K. For further information,
refer to the financial statements of Northstar Income Fund-I, L.P. (the
"Partnership"), and the related notes, included within the Partnership's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, (the
"1996 Form 10-K") previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The Partnership is in its liquidation period as defined in the Partnership
Agreement and, as expected, the Partnership is not purchasing additional
equipment, initial leases are expiring and the equipment is being remarketed
(i.e., re-leased, renewed or sold). As a result, both the size of the
Partnership's leasing portfolio and the amount of leasing revenue are declining
(referred to in this discussion as "portfolio run-off").

of Operations, continued
LEASING MARGIN, continued
Leasing margin decreased, and is expected to decrease further, primarily as a
result of portfolio run-off.
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 by the
Partnership during this period reflect this low interest rate environment. This
will result in corresponding reductions in the ultimate overall yields to
partners. Annual average 5-year U.S. Treasury yields for the past seven years
were as follows:
Annual average 5-year U.S. Treasury Yield
Year Yield
---- -----
1990 8.37
1991 7.37

--------- ---------
Equipment sales margin $ 42,546 $ 171,501
========= =========
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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
INTEREST INCOME
The decline in interest income is due to decreases in cash available for
investment.
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.
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 provision for losses were recorded during the three months ended March 31,
1997 or the corresponding period in 1996 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 legal fees.
Management fees paid to general partners and direct services from general
partners 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.
Cash from operations will fluctuate during the liquidation period as the
Partnership's equipment is sold. Cash from operations was negative during the
three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily due to a reduction in accounts
payable of approximately $450,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued
- -------------------------------
During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership declared
distributions to the Partners of $172,406 (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 the remainder of 1997
which, when added to cash and cash equivalents on hand, should provide
sufficient cash to enable the Partnership to meet its current operating
requirements.
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 1997 distributions
to the limited partners (a substantial portion of which is expected to
constitute returns of capital) out of cash from operations and cash from sales
during the remainder of 1997. Because of portfolio runoff, it is anticipated
that cash from operations in 1997 will decrease relative to cash from operations
in 1996. Therefore, the Partnership is not expected to have sufficient cash
available in 1997 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) and
distributions during the liquidation period will be based upon cash availability
and will vary. The general partners' 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 equal to less than 10% of
the Class B limited partner's capital shown on the accompanying Balance Sheets.
