          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


                                                                   
Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Leasing Edge Corporation (formerly, TJ Systems
Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively
referred to as the "Company".  All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.  Certain reclassifications
have been made to prior years' amounts to conform with current
period presentation.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary
to present fairly the results of its operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows.   It is
suggested that this report be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. 
The operating results and cash flows for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that will be achieved for the full fiscal year or for future
periods.



Note 2.  Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common and common equivalent share are computed based
on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the three and six month periods ending
June 30, 1996.  Dilutive stock options included in the number of
common and common equivalent shares are based on the treasury stock
method.  



Note 3.  Revolving Line of Credit

On July 11, 1995, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of
Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with Bank of America Nevada. 
Borrowings under the Agreement, as amended, are limited to the
lesser of $2.5 million ($2.7 million through May 10, 1996); sixty
percent (60%) of the Company's Equity Position in approved leases,
as defined; or twenty-five percent (25%) of the residual value of
leased equipment, as defined.  Borrowings under the Agreement bear
interest at the Bank's prime rate plus two percentage (2.0%)
points, are collateralized by certain personal property of the
Company and require the Company to pay an unused commitment fee
equal to one-half of one percent of the unused portion of the line,
calculated on a weighted-average basis.  Restrictive covenants
under the Agreement include the maintenance of consolidated
tangible net worth, as defined, of at least $6.5 million; a
consolidated ratio of total liabilities, as defined, to tangible
net worth of no greater than 1.0:1.0; and a restriction on the 
payment of cash dividends on shares of the Company's common stock. 
The Agreement, as amended, expires on August 31, 1996.  At June 30,
1996, the Company did not meet the consolidated tangible net worth
covenant.  Bank of America has granted the Company a waiver of this
covenant through August 31, 1996 (the expiration date of the
Agreement).

At August 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding borrowings under
the Agreement of $2.5 million and the interest rate with respect to
the Agreement was 10.25 percent.  Average and maximum borrowings
under the revolving line of credit during 1996 were $2.6 million
and $2.7 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest
rate was 10.26 percent.

In January 1995, PMCPI entered into a revolving credit agreement
(the "Merrill Line") with Merrill Lynch Financial Services, Inc.  
Borrowings under the Merrill Line are limited to the lesser of
$500,000 or an amount equal to 80 percent of PMCPI's accounts
receivable, as defined, plus 60 percent of inventory, as defined. 
The Merrill Line is secured by accounts receivable and inventory of
PMCPI and is guaranteed by the Company and expires August 31, 1996.

At June 30, 1996, PMCPI had outstanding borrowings under the
Merrill Line of $429,438 and the interest rate with respect to the
line was 9.25 percent.  Average borrowings outstanding under the
revolving credit agreement during 1996 were approximately $375,000
and the weighted average interest rate was approximately 9.30
percent.  Maximum borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit
agreement during 1996 were $429,438.

In November 1995, the Company entered into a letter agreement with
Union Chelsea National Bank (UCNB) whereby UCNB agreed to make
available to the Company a $250,000 line of credit (the "Equity
Line") to be used to fund the Company's equity investment in
certain leases discounted by UCNB (ie., the difference between the
cost of the leased equipment and the discounted present value of
the minimum lease payments assigned to UCNB).  Borrowings under the
Equity Line are evidenced by term notes and require monthly
payments of principal and interest over a period equal to the term
of the related discounted lease with a final balloon payment of
between 30 and 50 percent depending on the lease term.  Interest
rates on the term notes are at the applicable discounted lease rate
plus 1.25%.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding term
notes and available credit under the Equity Line of $234,105 and
$15,895, respectively.  In a separate transaction, UCNB advanced
the Company $200,000 to fund the Company's equity investment in a
$2.2 million lease transaction.  The $200,000 advance was issued
under the same terms as borrowings under the Equity Line.  UCNB and
the Company have agreed that this advance will be included under an
amended Equity Line which the parties are currently negotiating.
















































Item 2:   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN      
          OF OPERATION


Overview

     The Company was originally founded in 1980 under the name TJ
Computer Services, Inc. ("TJCS").  In 1989, all of the outstanding
common stock of TJCS was acquired by Harrison Development, Inc., an
inactive public corporation organized in Colorado, which then
changed its name to TJ Systems Corporation.  In October 1991, the
Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware and in June 1995,
changed its name to Leasing Edge Corporation.  Unless the context
otherwise requires, the term the "Company" as used herein refers to
Leasing Edge Corporation and Pacific Mountain Computer Products,
Inc.

     Leasing Edge Corporation (the "Company") buys, sells, leases
and remarkets a wide variety of information processing and
communication equipment, including midrange computers,
telecommunications systems, peripherals, point-of-sale systems,
local area networks and select high technology and other capital
equipment produced by a variety of manufacturers, such as IBM,
Unisys, AT&T, Sun Microsystems, DEC and Tandem.  The Company's
customers are primarily large corporations that meet the Company's
high credit standards and that possess significant and continuing
information processing and telecommunications needs.

     Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Mountain Computer
Products, Inc. ("Pacific Mountain"), the Company is an authorized
distributor of IBM and other manufacturer's terminal, controller,
printer and protocol converter products.  Pacific Mountain's main
business is sales of those products to retail customers and
wholesalers.  The Company also leases such products to customers
who desire to lease by acquiring the products at favorable
discounts facilitated by its relationship with Pacific Mountain.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June
30, 1995

Revenues

     Total revenues from leasing operations decreased $99,275, or
1.5%, during the first six months of 1996 compared to the prior
year period due primarily to a decrease in revenue from the
portfolio base of operating leases of $261,317, or 4.9%, partially
offset by an increase in direct sales revenues of $209,337, or
30.8%.  The decrease in operating lease revenue resulted from the
expiration of certain month to month leases which were not replaced
with new lease transactions.


     Distribution sales increased 6.4%, to $3,047,743 for the 1996
period as compared to $2,863,257 for 1995.  The increase in
distribution sales resulted from increased unit sales due to the
addition of certain new products. 



Costs and Expenses

     Total costs from leasing operations as a percentage of leasing
revenue was 81.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared
with 82.9% for the prior year period.  Gross profit from leasing
operations (total revenues from leasing operations less total costs
from leasing operations) increased $82,106, or 7.4%.  The decrease
in leasing costs is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense
on recourse and non-recourse indebtedness between periods of
$181,948, or 21.9%.  This decrease results from the use of the
effective interest method to record interest expense on such
indebtedness.  Gross margin (gross profit from leasing operations
as a percentage of total revenues from leasing operations) improved
to 18.6% from 17.1% due to the foregoing.

     Leasing costs associated with the portfolio base of operating
leases decreased $166,198, or 4.5%.  Gross profit on operating
leases decreased by $95,119 to 29.9% from 30.2%.  The decrease in
gross profit is due primarily to the expiration of certain
month-to-month leases.  Such leases generally have a higher profit
margin
than other operating leases since the equipment has often already
been depreciated to zero.

     Direct sales costs (leasing costs with respect to the sale of
equipment off lease and leases with dollar buyout options treated
as sales) increased $169,345, or 27.6% but decreased as a
percentage of related revenue to 88.0% from 90.1%.  The decrease in
costs as a percentage of revenue is due to residual value
realization more closely matching stated values in 1996 as compared
to 1995.

     Distribution cost of sales of $2,660,437 relates to
distribution sales of Pacific Mountain and represent a $214,514, or
8.8%, increase over the prior year period.  Gross margin on
distribution sales decreased to 12.7% in 1996 from 14.6% in 1995
due to a decrease in comparative sales volume of certain higher
margin products.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$405,780 in the 1996 period compared to the prior year period due
primarily to the write-off of a lease receivable from a new
customer who subsequently declared bankruptcy and to increased
staffing levels.

     Interest expense on non-lease related indebtedness increased
$80,757, or 86.2% due to higher average debt levels partially
offset by slightly lower interest rates.


Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended
June 30, 1995

Revenues

     Total revenues from leasing operations increased $6,852, or
0.2%, in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the prior year
quarter due primarily to an increase in direct sales revenues of
$145,839, or 79.8%, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from
the portfolio base of operating leases of $140,365, or 5.3%.  The
decrease in operating lease revenue resulted from the expiration of
certain month to month leases which were not replaced with new
lease transactions.

     Distribution sales increased to $1,484,210 from $1,262,704 due
to increased unit sales.

Costs and Expenses

     Total costs from leasing operations as a percentage of leasing
revenue increased to 84.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, as
compared with 83.2% for the prior year quarter.  Gross profit from
leasing operations decreased $21,916, or 4.1%, due primarily to an
increase in direct cost of sales of $203,280, partially offset by
decreases in operating lease potfolio costs and portfolio interest
expense of $151,974 and $19,958, respectively.  Gross margin from
leasing operations decreased slightly, to 16.0% from the prior
year's 16.8% due to the foregoing.

     Leasing costs associated with the portfolio base of operating
leases decreased $151,974, or 8.0%.  Gross profit on operating
leases increased by $11,609 to 29.8% from 27.7%.  Direct sales
costs increased $203,280, or 103.44%, and increased as a percentage
of related revenue to 121.6% from 107.5%.  The increase in costs as
a percentage of revenue was due primarily to the early termination
of certain leases with an existing customer in exchange for new
leases on the replacement equipment.  Although the Company recorded
a loss of approximately $33,000 upon the sale of the old equipment,
such loss was factored into the lease payments related to the new
equipment and will be recovered over the term of the leases.

     Distribution cost of sales of $1,297,807 relates to
distribution sales of Pacific Mountain and represent a $228,360, or
21.4%, increase over the prior year quarter.  Gross margin on
distribution sales decreased to 12.6% in 1996 from 15.3% in 1995
due to a decrease in comparative sales volume of certain higher
margin products.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$340,535 in the 1996 period compared to the prior year period due
primarily to the write-off of a lease receivable from a new
customer who subsequently declared bankruptcy and to increased
staffing levels.

     Interest expense on non-lease related indebtedness increased
$32,773, or 56.8%, due to higher average debt levels partially
offset by slightly lower interest rates.

     The 1996 consolidated financial statements do not reflect a
provision for income taxes due to the utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards and changes in the related valuation allowance. 
At June 30, 1996, the Company had unexpired net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $4,100,000 which can be utilized to
offset future taxable income, if any.

Net Earnings

     As a result of the foregoing the Company recorded a net loss 
for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1996 of
$243,397 and $147,461,respectively, as compared to net income of
$95,209 and $172,200 for the corresponding 1995 periods.


                 Liquidity and Capital Resources 

     Since equipment the Company leases must be paid for by the
Company prior to leasing, the Company requires a substantial amount
of cash for its leasing activities.  The Company's growth has been
significantly dependent upon its ability to borrow funds or raise
equity or debt financing to acquire additional equipment for
lease. 
Historically, the Company has derived most of the funds necessary
for the purchase of equipment from nonrecourse financing and the
remainder from internally generated funds, recourse indebtedness
and existing cash.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately
$198,524 in cash and in availability under its bank lines.

     At the inception of each lease, the Company establishes the
residual value of the leased equipment, which is the estimated
market value of the equipment at the end of the initial lease
term. 
The Company's cash flow depends to a great extent on its ability to
realize the residual value of leased equipment after the initial
term of its leases with its customers.  Historically, the Company
has realized its recorded investment in residual values through (i)
renegotiation of the lease during its term to add or modify
equipment; (ii) renewal or extension of the original lease; (iii)
leasing equipment to a new user after the initial lease term; or,
(iv) sale of the equipment.  Each of these alternatives impacts the
timing of the Company's cash realization of such recorded residual
values.  Equipment may be returned to the Company at the end of an
initial or extended lease term when it may not be possible for the
Company to resell or re-lease the equipment on favorable terms. 
Developments in the high technology equipment market tend to occur
at rapid rates, adding to the risk of obsolescence and shortened
product life cycles which could affect the Company's ability to
realize the residual value of such equipment.  In addition, if the
lessee defaults on a lease, the financial institution that provided
nonrecourse financing may foreclose on its security interest in the
leased equipment and the Company may not realize any portion of
such residual value.  If the residual value in any equipment cannot
be realized after the initial lease term, the recorded investment
in the equipment must be written down, resulting in lower cash flow
and reduced earnings.  There can be no assurance that the Company
will not experience material residual value or inventory
write-downs in the future.

     The Company intends to continue to retain residual ownership
of all the equipment it leases.  As of June 30, 1996 the Company
had a total net investment in lease transactions of $23.6 million
compared to $24.2 million as of December 31, 1995.  The estimated
residual value of the Company's portfolio of leases expiring
between July 1, 1996 and December 31, 2001 totals $10,730,400,
although there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
realize such residual value in the future.  As of June 30, 1996,
the estimated residual value of the Company's portfolio of leases
by year of lease termination is as follows:

                                              ==========
</TABLE>

     Leased equipment expenditures of $4,279,414 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 were financed through the discounting of
$4,508,090 of noncancelable lease rentals to various financial
institutions.

     The Company believes that inflation has not been a significant
factor in its business.

     Based on the Company's anticipated residual value realization
and distribution sales, management believes that it will have
adequate capital resources to continue its operations at the
present level for at least the next twelve months.  Management
further believes that its existing credit lines will be renewed as
they come due.
