              MEDICAL EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

1. Business

MEDICAL EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Partnership"), is a
Connecticut limited partnership organized in September 1988.  The Partnership
was formed to acquire and lease equipment under operating or direct financing
leases with terms of two to eight years, concentrating in medical and
telecommunications equipment.  Vision Limited Partnership is the General
Partner.  Leases are with medical groups principally located in the Northeast
region of the United States.  The Partnership commenced its operations in
September 1989.

2. Lease and Revenue Recognition

The Partnership leases equipment under direct financing lease terms.

Lease transactions that meet the relevant accounting criteria for treatment as
direct financing leases are recognized on the date the equipment is accepted
and, at that time, the Partnership records a gross receivable, net of unearned
income.  Unearned income represents the excess of gross receivables over
equipment costs and is recorded as revenue over the term of the lease, based on
the interest method.  The leases has an original term. Residual values are not
material.

Under the remaining lease agreement the Partnership retains title to the
equipment.  The lessee bears the cost to maintain and insure the asset.  At the
end of the lease, the lessee has the option of purchasing the asset at fair
market value, continuing the lease for an additional period of time, or
returning the asset.

3. Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to income taxes.  The net income or loss of the
Partnership is reportable by each of the partners, as to their distributive
share.

ITEM 2.                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, leasing revenues 
totalled $20,644 and $192,460,  respectively, and interest income totalled 
$30,200  and $ 52,528, respectively. 

Leasing revenues, which include base rentals paid by lessees  of medical
equipment, decreased in 1996 primarily because of the reduction   in outstanding
leased medical equipment.  In addition, due to the requirements of FASB 13,
revenue is recognized for direct financing leases in a manner which reduces book
income incrementally, relative to a constant lease payment stream.  As a result,
reported leasing revenues continue to decrease as the remaining lease matures or
as equipment is sold off.  Interest income was earned on funds not invested in
equipment.  The decrease in interest income for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996, as compared with the same period in 1995, is due primarily
to the decreased amount of cash and cash equivalents held by the Partnership
during 1996.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, was $ 18,006 or $ 2.39
per Limited Partner unit as compared with a net loss of $ 128,667 or $(17.03)
per Limited Partner unit for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The
decrease in leasing revenues was partially offset by reductions in the related
expense items of depreciation interest expense, and equipment management fees.

The Partnership's primary source of funds for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995,  was the Partnership's interest revenue.

Proceeds received from the sale of equipment generally will be distributed to
the partners based on their pro-rata unit holdings. Distributions in the amount
of $ 175,773 were made during the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. 

The General partner anticipates that funds from operations in the remainder of
1996 will be adequate to cover operating expenses.
