              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.

              The Partnership  Agreement  stipulates the methods by which income
will be  allocated  to the  General  Partner  and  the  limited  partners.  Such
allocations  will be  made  using  income  or loss  calculated  under  Generally
Accepted  Accounting  Principles for book purposes,  which varies from income or
loss calculated for tax purposes.

              The  calculation  of  items  of  income  and loss for book and tax
purposes may result in book basis capital  accounts that vary from the tax basis
capital accounts. The requirement to restore any deficit capital balances by the
General Partner will be determined based on the tax basis capital  accounts.  At
liquidation  of the  Partnership,  the General  Partner's  remaining  book basis
capital  account  will be reduced to zero  through the  allocation  of income or
loss.

Note 2.  Reclassification.
         ----------------

              Reclassification  - Certain 1997 amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 1998 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 June 30, 1998, the Partnership has
investments in notes  receivable,  before  allowance for losses,  of $687,000 of
which $104,000 is considered to be impaired.  The  Partnership  has an allowance
for losses of $162,000 as of June 30, 1998. The average  recorded  investment in
impaired  loans  during  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997  was
approximately $108,000 and $33,000, respectively.

              The  activity  in the  allowance  for  losses on notes  receivable
during the six months ended June 30, is as follows:

                                               1998         1997

Note 5.  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 169,752 and 170,277 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  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 $307,000 and $614,000  during
the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,  respectively,  as compared to net
income of $614,000 and  $997,000  during the three and six months ended June 30,
1997,  respectively.  The  Partnership  reported  an overall  decrease  in total
revenues and expenses.  However,  the decrease in revenues exceeded the decrease
in expenses, generating a decrease in net income for the period.

          Total revenues decreased by $410,000 and $735,000 during the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in
1997.  The  decrease in total  revenues is due  primarily to decreases in rental
income from operating  leases,  earned income from financing  leases and gain on
sale of equipment.  The $213,000 and $339,000  decrease in rental income for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998,  respectively,  is  attributable  to a
decrease in the amount of equipment  owned.  At June 30, 1998,  the  Partnership
owned equipment with an aggregate original cost of $12.5 million, as compared to
the $24 million of equipment owned at June 30, 1997.

          Earned income from financing  leases decreased by $88,000 and $187,000
during the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,  respectively,  as compared
to the same  periods in 1997.  This is  attributable  to the decrease in the net
investment  in  financing  leases  since June 30, 1997.  The  Partnership  owned
financing  leases with a net  investment  of $1.1 million at June 30,  1998,  as
compared to $3.2  million at June 30,  1997.  The net  investment  in  financing
leases will continue to decline over the lease term as payments are received.

          The  Partnership  reported a gain on sale of  equipment of $27,000 and
$48,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared
$149,000  and  $182,000  for the  three  and six  months  ended  June 30,  1997,
respectively.  The decreased gain on sale of equipment,  as well as the decrease
in sales  proceeds  received,  during  1998 is a result of a  decrease  in sales
activity  of  the  Partnership's  equipment  portfolio.   The  Partnership  sold
equipment  with an  aggregate  original  cost of $3.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 1997.

          Total expenses of the  Partnership  decreased by $103,000 and $352,000
during the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,  respectively,  compared to
the same periods in 1997. Most expense items decreased  during the three and six
months ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the same periods in 1997 due to the
decrease in the amount of  equipment  owned by the  Partnership,  as well as, an
increasing portion of the equipment portfolio having been fully depreciated.

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.





                                        8

          The Partnership  reported net cash generated by equipment  leasing and
financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1998 of $1,726,000, as
compared to $2,926,000  during the same period in 1997.  The decline in net cash
generated  from leasing and financing  activities  for the six months ended June
30, 1998, as compared to the same period in the previous  year, is  attributable
to decreases in rental income from operating leases and principal  payments from
financing leases, as previously discussed in the Results of Operations.

          An additional factor contributing to the decline in net cash generated
is the  reduction in the amount of proceeds  received from the sale of equipment
for the six months ended June 30, 1998,  as compared to the previous  year.  The
Partnership  received  proceeds from the sale of equipment of $48,000 during the
six months  ended June 30, 1998,  as compared to $277,000  during the six months
ended June 30, 1997.

          The Partnership received distributions from joint ventures of $233,000
and $573,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The
decrease  in  distributions  from joint  ventures is  attributable  to one joint
venture  experiencing a decline in cash available for  distributions as a result
of a reduction in rental income and sales proceeds received.

          As of June 30, 1998, the  Partnership  owned  equipment being held for
lease with an original  cost of $5,115,000  and a net book value of $14,000,  as
compared to equipment  with an original cost of $3,715,000  and a net book value
of $70,000 at June 30, 1997. The General Partner is actively engaged,  on behalf
of the  Partnership,  in  remarketing  and selling the  Partnership's  off lease
equipment.  Until new lessees or buyers of equipment can be found, the equipment
will continue to generate  depreciation expense without any corresponding rental
income.  The  effect of this will be a  reduction  of the  Partnership  earnings
during this remarketing period.

          The cash distributed to partners was $2,242,000 and $3,352,000  during
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  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  $2,130,000  and  $3,184,000  in  cash
distributions for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
cumulative  cash   distributions  to  limited  partners  at  June  30,  1998  is
$37,828,000,  as compared to $32,500,000  at June 30, 1997. The General  Partner
received cash  distributions  of $112,000 and $168,000 for its share of the cash
distribution for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The
Partnership made distributions at a lower rate beginning with the April 15, 1998
distribution.

          As provided for by the partnership agreement,  the General Partner has
determined  to  exercise  its  discretion  that no  further  redemptions  in the
Partnership will be permitted after March 31, 1998.

          The cash to be generated  from  leasing and  financing  operations  is
anticipated to be sufficient to meet the  Partnership's  continuing  operational
expenses.
