                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.  General.

      The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  have  been
prepared by the  Partnership in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of Management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information  presented not misleading,  it is suggested that these condensed
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
the notes included in the Partnership's  Financial Statement,  as filed with the
SEC in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.

      Non Cash  Investing  Activities.  During the three  months ended March 31,
1996, the Partnership,  along with other affiliated  partnerships managed by the
General  Partner,  obtained  title to a cable  television  company that had been
pledged as collateral for a  non-performing  note. As a result,  the Partnership
reclassified $62,000 to Investment in Joint Ventures on the balance sheet.

Note 2.  Reclassification.

      Reclassification  - Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the 1996 presentation.

Note 3.  Income Taxes.

      Federal and state income tax regulations  provide that taxes on the income
or loss of the  Partnership  are reportable by the partners in their  individual
income tax returns.  Accordingly,  no provision  for such taxes has been made in
the financial statements of the Partnership.

Note 4.  Notes Receivable.

      Impaired Notes Receivable.  At March 31, 1996, the recorded  investment in
notes that are  considered to be impaired  under  Statement No. 114 was $160,000
for which  there is no  related  allowance  for  losses.  The  average  recorded
investment  in impaired  loans  during the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
approximately $160,000.

      On February 14, 1996,  the  Partnership  foreclosed  upon a  nonperforming
outstanding  note  receivable  to  a  cable  television  operator  to  whom  the
Partnership,  along with other  affiliated  partnerships  managed by the General
Partner,  had extended  credit.  The  Partnership's  net carrying value for this
outstanding  note  receivable  was  $62,000  at March  31,  1996,  for which the
Partnership had an allowance for losses on notes of $14,000.  Because the market
value of the cable system exceeded the carrying value, this allowance of $14,000
was reversed and recognized as income at March 31, 1996.

      The activity in the  allowance for losses on notes  receivable  during the
three months ended March 31, is as follows:

Note 5.  Equipment on Operating Leases and Held for Lease.

      The Partnership's  policy, as disclosed on the Partnership's latest annual
report filed on Form 10-K, is to provide additional  depreciation  expense where
reviews of equipment  indicate that rentals plus anticipated sales proceeds will
not exceed expenses,  including depreciation expense, in any future period. As a
result, the Partnership has provided additional  depreciation expense on various
leases  that are near the end of their  initial  lease term where the  estimated
fair market  value is not  expected to exceed the net book value of such leases.
The  portion  of  additional   depreciation  expense  included  in  the  caption
"Depreciation"  on the statement of operations  for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995,  are $81,000  and  $19,000  respectively,  ($.47 and $.12 per
limited partnership unit, respectively).

Note 6.  Net Income (Loss) and Distributions Per Limited Partnership Unit.

      Net income and  distributions  per limited  partnership unit were based on
the limited  partners' share of net income and  distributions,  and the weighted
average number of units  outstanding of 171,054 and 171,952 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  For  purposes of  allocating  net
income (loss) to each individual limited partner, the Partnership  allocates net
income  (loss)  based  upon  each  respective   limited  partner's  net  capital
contributions.

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

Results of Operations

      The  Partnership  reported net income of $439,000  during the three months
ended March 31,  1996,  as  compared  to net income of $72,000  during the three
months ended March 31, 1995.  The  Partnership  reported an overall  decrease in
total  revenues and  expenses.  However,  the  decrease in expense  exceeded the
decrease in revenues, generating an increase in net income for the period.

      Total revenues  decreased by $365,000  during the three months ended March
31, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease in total revenues
is due  primarily  to a  decrease  in rental  income  from  operating  leases of
$258,000  for the three  months  ended March 31,  1996,  as compared to the same
period in 1995. The decrease in rental income is  attributable  to a decrease in
the amount of equipment  owned that is classified as operating  type leases.  At
March 31, 1996, the Partnership owned equipment with an aggregate  original cost
of $36.3 million,  as compared to the $46.6 million of equipment  owned at March
31, 1995.

      Earned income from financing leases decreased by $112,000 during the three
months  ended March 31,  1996,  as compared to the same period in 1995.  This is
attributable  to the decrease in the net  investment  in financing  leases since
March 31, 1995. The Partnership  owned financing leases with a net investment of
$7.8 million at March 31, 1996,  as compared to $11.6 million at March 31, 1995.
The net  investment in financing  leases will continue to decline over the lease
term as payments are received.

      Total expenses of the  Partnership  decreased by $732,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 1996,  compared to the same period in 1995.  Depreciation
expense experienced the largest decrease during the three months ended March 31,
1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. Depreciation expense decreased due
to the decrease in the amount of equipment owned by the Partnership.

      The Partnership did not incur any interest expense during the three months
ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to interest  expense of $79,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995.  Interest expense decreased during the three months
ended  March 31,  1996,  as  compared  to the same  period  in 1995,  due to the
Partnership  having paid off its  outstanding  debt during 1995. As of March 31,
1996, there are no available lines of credit.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Partnership's  primary source of liquidity comes from its contractual
obligations  with lessees and  borrowers  for fixed lease terms at fixed payment
amounts.  As the initial lease terms of the  Partnership's  short term operating
leases expire,  the Partnership will re-lease or sell the equipment.  The future
liquidity of the Partnership will depend upon the General  Partner's  success in
collecting its contractually  owed amounts from lessees and borrowers as well as
re-leasing and selling the Partnership's equipment when the lease terms expire.

The Partnership  reported net cash generated by equipment  leasing and financing
activities  during the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 of  $2,123,000,  as
compared  to  $2,696,000  during  the same  period  in 1995.  In  addition,  the
Partnership  received proceeds from the sale of equipment of $137,000 during the
three  months  ended March 31,  1996,  as compared to $411,000  during the three
months ended March 31, 1995.  During the three months ended March 31, 1996,  the
Partnership  did not  make  any  debt  payments,  as  compared  to  payments  of
$3,513,000  during the same period in 1995. The  Partnership's  outstanding debt
was paid off during the fourth quarter of 1995.

      The Partnership anticipates reinvesting a portion of the revenues from the
assets owned by the  Partnership in new leasing or financing  transactions  over
the life of the  Partnership.  During the three  months ended March 31, 1996 the
Partnership invested $118,000 in equipment leases, as compared to investments of
$75,000 during the same period in 1995.

      As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership owned equipment being held for lease
with an  original  cost of  $2,996,000  and a net  book  value of  $371,000,  as
compared to equipment  with an original cost of $6,444,000  and a net book value
of  $370,000 at March 31,  1995.  The General  Partner is actively  engaged,  on
behalf of the  Partnership,  in remarketing  and selling the  Partnership's  off
lease equipment.

      The cash distributed to partners was $1,657,000 and $1,598,000  during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In accordance with the
Partnership  Agreement,  the limited  partners  are  entitled to 95% of the cash
available  for  distribution  and the  General  Partner is  entitled to 5%. As a
result,  the  limited  partners  received  $1,574,000  and  $1,518,000  in  cash
distributions for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.
The  cumulative  cash  distributions  to limited  partners  at March 31, 1996 is
$24,533,000,  as compared to $18,395,000 at March 31, 1995. The General  Partner
received  cash  distributions  of $83,000  and $80,000 for its share of the cash
distribution  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.
The Partnership anticipates making distributions during the remainder of 1996 at
approximately the same rate as the current distribution.

      The  cash  to be  generated  from  leasing  and  financing  operations  is
anticipated to be sufficient to meet the  Partnership's  continuing  operational
expenses, debt service and to provide cash distributions to the Partners.
