accruals)  necessary  for a fair  statement  of income  for each  period  shown.
Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such SEC rules and  regulations.
Management  believes  that  the  disclosures  made  are  adequate  to  make  the

Definitive  Consent Statement to the Limited Partners to solicit approval of two
amendments to the Partnership  Agreement.  A majority of the limited partnership
units  outstanding  responded  affirmatively,  and the amendments  were adopted.
These  amendments  are  effective  from and after  November 15, 1995 and were as
follows:  (1) extended the Reinvestment  Period for a maximum of four additional
years and likewise delayed the start and end of the Liquidation  Period, and (2)
eliminated the Partnership's  obligation to pay the General Partner a portion of
accrued and unpaid  management  fees, and any additional  management  fees which
would otherwise accrue during the present Liquidation Period. The portion of the
accrued and unpaid  management fees that would be payable to the General Partner
will  be  returned  to the  Partnership  in the  form of an  additional  Capital
Contribution by the General Partner.

3.   Related Party Transactions

     For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  no  management  fees were

                                  June 30, 1998

Item 2. General  Partner's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
        Results of Operations

     The  Partnership's  portfolio  consisted  of a net  investment  in  finance
leases,  financings,  equity investment in joint venture and operating leases of
66%,  34%,  0%,  and  less  than  1%,  of total  investments  at June 30,  1998,
respectively, and 63%, 36%, 8% and less than 1% of total investments at June 30,
1997, respectively.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

     The Partnership did not lease or finance any equipment for the three months
ended June 30, 1998.

        Revenues  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1998  were  $124,887,
representing  an increase of $15,764 or 14% from 1997.  The increase in revenues
was  attributable to an increase in net gain on sale or remarketing of equipment
of $52,234 or 365% and an increase in interest income and other of $5,013 or 65%
from 1997. The increase in income was partially  offset by a decrease in finance
income of $30,341 or 40%, and a decrease in income from joint venture of $11,142
or 100% from 1997. The increase in net gain on sales or remarketing of equipment
resulted  from an  increase  in the  total  number of  leases  maturing  and the
underlying  equipment being sold or remarketed for which proceeds  received were
in excess of the remaining  carrying value.  The increase in interest income and
other  resulted  from an increase in the  collection  of late  charges.  Finance
income  decreased  due to a decrease in the average size of the  portfolio  from
1997 to 1998.  The decrease in income from equity  investment  in joint  venture
resulted  from  the  Partnership's  1997  sale of its  investment  in the  joint
venture.

     Expenses  for  the  three   months  ended  June  30,  1998  were   $48,878,
representing  a decrease of $16,989 or 26% from 1997.  The  decrease in expenses
was primarily  attributable to decrease in interest  expense of $6,990 or 22%, a
decrease  in  administrative  expense  reimbursements  of $6,563  or 55%,  and a
decrease in general and administrative expense of $3,436 or 16%. The decrease in
interest  expense  resulted from a decrease in the average debt outstanding from
1997  to  1998.   Administrative   expense   reimbursements   and   general  and
administrative  expense  decreased  due to a decrease in the average size of the
portfolio from 1997 to 1998.

     Net income for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997 was $76,009
and  $43,256,   respectively.  The  net  income  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership unit was $.38 and $.21 for 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

     For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership  leased or
financed equipment with an initial cost of $0 and $822,592,  respectively,  to 0
and 10 lessees or equipment  users,  respectively.  The weighted average initial
transaction term relating to these transactions in 1997 was 37 months.

                                  June 30, 1998

     Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $224,041, representing
an increase of $6,447 or 3% from 1997. The increase in revenues was attributable
to an increase in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment of $45,201 or
106%,  and an  increase  in  interest  income and other of $22,138 or 150%.  The
increase was  partially  offset by a decrease in income from  finance  income of
$45,806 or 32% and a decrease in income from equity  investment in joint venture
of $15,086 or 100% from 1997.  The increase in net gain on sales or  remarketing
of equipment  resulted  from an increase in the total number of leases  maturing
and the  underlying  equipment  being  sold or  remarketed  for  which  proceeds
received  were in  excess of the  remaining  carrying  value.  The  increase  in
interest  income and other  resulted from an increase in the  collection of late
charges.  The decrease in finance income resulted from a decrease in the average
size of the  portfolio  from 1997 to 1998.  The  decrease  in income from equity
investment in joint venture  resulted  from the  Partnership's  1997 sale of its
investment in the joint venture.

     Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $83,673,  representing
an decrease of $29,823  from 1997.  The decrease in expenses  resulted  from the
decrease  in  administrative  expense  reimbursements  of $12,638 or 53%,  and a
decrease in general and administrative  expense of $10,699 or 29%,. The decrease
was also due to a decrease in interest expense of $6,486 or 12%.  Administrative
expense reimbursement and general and administrative  expense decreased due to a
decrease  in the  average  size of the  portfolio  from  1997 to 1998.  Interest
expense decreased due to a decrease in the average debt outstanding from 1997 to
1998.

     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $140,368 and
$104,098,  respectively. The net income per weighted average limited partnership
unit was $.70 and $.52 for 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Partnership's  primary  sources of funds for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997 were net cash provided by operations of $500,811 and $744,914,
respectively,  and  proceeds  from sales of  equipment  of $171,492 and $44,108,
respectively.  These funds were used to purchase equipment in 1997, to fund cash
distributions  and to make payments on borrowings.  The  Partnership  intends to
fund future cash  distributions,  to the extent funds are  available,  utilizing
cash provided by operations and proceeds from sales of equipment.

     Cash  distributions  to limited  partners for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, which were paid monthly,  totaled $549,474 and $899,100, of which
$138,965  and  $103,057  was  investment  income and $410,509 and $796,043 was a
return of capital,  respectively.  The monthly annualized cash distribution rate
to limited  partners was 5.50% and 9.00% of which 1.39% and 1.03% was investment
income and 4.11% and 7.97% was a return of capital, respectively,  calculated as
a percentage of each partner's initial capital contribution. The limited partner
distribution per weighted average unit outstanding for the six months ended June
30,  1998 and 1997 was $2.75 and $4.50,  of which  $.70 and $.52 was  investment
income and $2.05 and $3.98 was a return of capital.  As a result of a review and
analysis of the Partnership's projected cash flow, the Partnership has decreased
the distribution rate to an annualized rate of 2%. This change was effective for
the April 1, 1998 distribution.

                                  June 30, 1998

    The Partnership's original Reinvestment Period expired on November 15, 1995,
five years after the Final  Closing  Date.  The General  Partner  distributed  a
Definitive  Consent Statement to the Limited Partners to solicit approval of two
amendments to the Partnership  Agreement.  A majority of the limited partnership
units  outstanding  responded  affirmatively,  and the amendments  were adopted.
These  amendments  are  effective  from and after  November 15, 1995 and were as
follows:  (1) extended the Reinvestment  Period for a maximum of four additional
years and likewise delay the start and end of the  Liquidation  Period,  and (2)
eliminated the Partnership's  obligation to pay the General Partner a portion of
accrued and unpaid  management  fees, and any additional  management  fees which
would otherwise accrue during the present Liquidation Period. The portion of the
accrued and unpaid  management fees that would be payable to the General Partner
will  be  returned  to the  Partnership  in the  form of an  additional  Capital
Contribution by the General Partner.

     As of June 30, 1998,  except as noted above,  there were no known trends or
demands,  commitments,  events or  uncertainties  which  are  likely to have any
material  effect on liquidity.  As cash is realized from operations and sales of
equipment,  the Partnership  will invest in equipment  leases and financings and
make  cash  distributions  where  it  deems it to be  prudent,  while  retaining
sufficient cash to meet its reserve  requirements  and recurring  obligations as
they become due.
