                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                
NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     
    The financial information included herein at September 30,
1996 and the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996, and
September 30, 1995, is unaudited, and in the opinion of the
partnership, reflects all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the
financial position as of that date and the results of operation
for those periods.

    The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of trends or of results to be expected for a full
year.


NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION 

    The partnership was formed on November 9, 1989, under the
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Illinois. 
The partnership's business is to acquire, own, lease, maintain,
manage and sell equipment.  The quarter ended September 30, 1996
was the twenty-seventh quarter of operations.


NOTE 3 - DESCRIPTION OF LEASING ARRANGEMENTS
     
    The partnership's leasing operations consist principally of
leased equipment which it has acquired from third party
independent lease brokers.  It is the partnership's intention to
re-lease such equipment to the existing lessee, lease such
equipment to a new lessee, or to sell the equipment at the end of
each lease.  The leases expire over the next three years.  The
cost of each lease includes an equity investment plus any non-
recourse loans obtained to finance the purchase. 

      
NOTE 4 - EQUIPMENT 
       
    Equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed
using the double declining balance method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets (five years).

PART 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The partnership commenced the offering of units and began
operations on February 26, 1990, and commenced the acquisition of
equipment in April of 1990.  As of February 26, 1992 the
partnership ceased the sale of Investor Limited Partner Units.  A
total of $2,906,960 in units has been sold through February 26,
1992.  At September 30, 1996 the partnership had acquired
$16,685,020 of leased equipment with an equity investment of
$2,452,449 and nonrecourse bank borrowing of $14,232,571.

OPERATIONS
Revenues from leasing decreased to $134,700 for the first three
quarters of the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996 ("fiscal
1996") from $179,421 for the first three quarters of the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995 ("fiscal 1995").  The decrease in
revenues from the first three quarters of fiscal 1995 to the
first three quarters of fiscal 1996 was primarily due to the
reduction in the amount of equipment under lease.  And in
addition, there was a loss on the sale of equipment of $47,734
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to a gain
on the sale of equipment of $56,558 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.
                                                     
Operating expenses decreased to $112,613 for the first three 
quarters of fiscal 1996 from $249,660 for the first three
quarters of fiscal 1995.  Operating expenses consist of interest
on nonrecourse financing of equipment purchased, depreciation on 
equipment, amortization of organization expenses, administrative
expenses, and payments to a related party for administrative cost
reimbursements.  The decrease in operating expenses from the
first three quarters of fiscal 1995 to the first three quarters
of fiscal 1996 resulted primarily from the reduction of equipment
on lease.

The partnership expects continued decreases in operating revenues
due to the expiration of leases.  Thus, since the partnership
does not plan to invest in additional equipment, future results
will be based on the collection of rents on existing and extended
leases, disposition of equipment from expired leases, and
interest earned on short-term money market investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquid assets of the partnership increase principally from cash
flows from operations.  Cash and cash equivalents of the
partnership at September 30, 1996 include undistributed cash
available from operations during the period February 26, 1990 to
September 30, 1996.  

The partnership has a program which provides for the temporary
investment of cash in various short-term money market instruments
pending disbursement for operations or distributions to partners. 
                                                 
                                                Page 11 of 14
<PAGE>

                     PART 2  (CONTINUED)

The partnership generally financed the purchase of equipment by
the use of loans in an amount in excess of 50% of the purchase
price thereof.  All of the loans incurred were nonrecourse to
the partnership and were or will be fully amortized by the
monthly rental payments due to the partnership under related
leases.

The partnership maintains, to the extent practicable, a working
capital and contingency reserve in an amount not to exceed 1% 
of the gross proceeds from the offering of Units, subject to 
business and distribution requirements.  Such amount, together 
with any amount reserved from operations, will be available 
to meet working capital requirements and to provide for 
contingencies.
