PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The registrant, Triumphe Leasing Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), is a limited partnership organized in 1989 under
the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of
Illinois. The Partnership sold 145.348 Limited Partnership Units
(the "Units") to the public from February 26, 1990, the date on
which the Partnership's operations commenced, through February
26, 1992, the date on which the offering terminated, pursuant to
a Registration Statement on Form S-18 filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 33-32613). The
business of the Partnership is to acquire, own, lease, maintain,
manage and sell various items of new and used computer, computer
peripheral, telecommunications and office equipment
("Equipment").
EQUIPMENT ACQUISITION. The General Partners select
Equipment which they believe will maintain residual value. Among
the factors adversely affecting the residual values of Equipment,
and which make predictions of residual value uncertain, are
advances in technology that render equipment obsolete, reductions
in sales prices or rental rates by manufacturers of comparable
new equipment, and surpluses in the marketplace for comparable
equipment. The General Partners utilize data prepared by
recognized appraisal or valuation firms as a guide to estimating
the residual values of Equipment.
TERMS OF LEASES. The General Partners generally lease
Equipment to lessees for initial terms ranging from six months to
six years, under agreements which impose on the lessees all costs
of maintenance, taxes and insurance for the equipment. The
leases may grant the lessees options to extend their leases or to
purchase the leased Equipment at the end of the initial lease
terms.
LESSEES. The Partnership leases Equipment to lessees
believed by the General Partners to be creditworthy. The General
Partners depend heavily on the lease credit evaluations of the
Partnership's lenders which, in turn, look primarily to rentals
under the leases to repay their loans.
LEVERAGE. The General Partners typically finance the
purchase of Equipment by the use of nonrecourse loans in an
amount in excess of 50% of the purchase price thereof. A
nonrecourse loan is one in which the lender agrees that its
recourse in the event of default is limited to the equipment
securing the loan, the rents payable under the related lease and
the proceeds derived from their sale, and that neither the
Partnership nor any Partner will be liable for payment. It is
anticipated that the loans will generally be in the maximum
amount which can be repaid with interest out of the lease rentals
receivable during the initial lease terms. The debt incurred
generally bears a fixed interest rate over the term of the loan,
rather than a variable rate which changes with the prime rate or
other criteria.
REFINANCING AND SALE OF EQUIPMENT. In some cases the
Partnership disposes of Equipment at the end of the initial term
of the related lease. This may be accomplished by (a) selling
the Equipment to the lessee, (b) selling the Equipment in the
open market, (c) negotiating an extension of the lease term, and
(d) securing a new lessee and selling the Equipment subject to
the extended or new lease to another investor. In other cases at
the end of the initial term of a lease, the Partnership may
retain the Equipment and enter into a new or extended lease. The
Partnership will then either (a) refinance the Equipment, which
will permit the Partnership to distribute to the Partners any
cash received in the refinancing or (b) retain the debt-free
leased Equipment so as to secure for the Partnership the rental
income under the lease. The Partnership may also sell the lease
prior to the end of the initial lease term. It is not
anticipated that the terms of any extended or replacement leases
will extend beyond December 31, 1997.

<PAGE>
INDEPENDENT BROKERS. Most of the Partnership's Equipment
purchases and related lease opportunities are brought to its
attention by independent leasing brokers, which either charge the
Partnership a commission for their services or alternatively
purchase the Equipment and secure the lessee and then resell the
package to the Partnership at a profit. Independent brokers are
also compensated by the Partnership for assisting in the
re-leasing and disposition of its Equipment. The independent
brokers also participate in the proceeds of the leases on a
percentage or fixed basis after the Partnership has earned a
specified return on its investment in a lease.
NO COMMITMENTS. The foregoing description of the business
of the Partnership is only a statement of the past transactions
and present intention of the General Partners, and should not be
viewed as a commitment as to the Partnership's future business
activities. The General Partners are granted unlimited
discretion in the Partnership Agreement to make all decisions
regarding the business of the Partnership. These decisions will
include the type of equipment to be acquired, the terms of
leases, the amount and nature of borrowings, and the time and
terms of Equipment disposition. The General Partners intend to
exercise sound business judgment in response to market conditions
when making these decisions, which may result in substantial
deviations from the business now conducted.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had purchased
$16,685,022 worth of Equipment. The Equipment owned by the
Partnership to date consists of computer hardware and
peripherals.

agreement entered into by Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A. ("Yamaha")
dated November 20, 1987, Yamaha has leased various computer
equipment and peripheral devices. In August 1991, the
Partnership acquired computer equipment leased to Yamaha under
two lease schedules to the above-described master lease
agreement. The purchase price to the Partnership of Schedule No.
9 and the equipment leased thereunder was $7,695, no portion of
which was financed. The purchase price to the Partnership of
Schedule No. 10 and the equipment leased thereunder was $70,782,
of which $6,072 was paid in cash and the balance paid through the
assumption of existing nonrecourse debt. The monthly rent for

December 1995. Schedule No. 10 renewed with respect to part of
the equipment at a monthly rent of $106 on a month-to-month basis
and the equipment was purchased by Yamaha in December 1996. The
rest of the equipment subject to Schedule No. 10 was sold in
1995.

lease term was extended by two years. The monthly rent was
$14,980. To finance the cost of the additional equipment and the
extension of the original lease term, the Partnership assumed
nonrecourse debt of $603,118. The loan proceeds were applied to
the outstanding balance of the original debt and the cost of the
additional equipment. The remaining proceeds were divided
between the Partnership and the original lessor.
Pursuant to a master lease agreement entered into by the
Partnership and Thrift Drug, dated as of May 31, 1995, and
an equipment supplement dated May 31, 1995, the Partnership and

COMPETITION. The equipment leasing industry is highly
competitive and the Partnership competes with other leasing
companies, with equipment manufacturers and distributors, and
with other entities similar to the Partnership, most of which
have greater financial resources than the Partnership and more
experience in the equipment leasing business than the General
Partners. Other leasing companies and especially equipment
manufacturers and distributors may be in a position to offer
equipment for lease upon financial terms more favorable than
those which the Partnership can offer and may also be in a
position to offer trade-in or exchange privileges on a wide range
of equipment, a pass-on of any investment tax credit,
comprehensive maintenance contracts, and other services and
benefits to lessees which the Partnership does not offer.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS. Approximately 88% of the Partnership's
lease income in the year ended December 31, 1996 was from five
customers. For those direct financing leases in which the
Partnership has a net investment at December 31, 1996, 100% was
with one customer. See Note 4 in "Notes to Financial Statements"
in this report.
EMPLOYEES. The Partnership does not have any employees.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
There has not been, nor is there expected to be, a public
market for the Units. As of December 31, 1996, there were 195
holders of Units.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION
The Partnership commenced the offering of Limited
Partnership Units and began operations on February 26, 1990. As
of February 26, 1992, the date on which the offering of Units
terminated, the Partnership had sold $2,906,960 in Units.
Through December 31, 1996, the Partnership had acquired
$16,685,022 of leased equipment, excluding capitalized equipment
acquisition costs, with an equity investment of $2,452,450 and
nonrecourse bank borrowings of $14,232,572.
OPERATIONS
Total revenues increased to $236,463 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996 ("fiscal 1996") from $172,673 for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 ("fiscal 1995"). Total
revenues consist of lease rental income and the gain (loss) on
sale of equipment under lease. This increase in total revenues
resulted from a gain on the sales of equipment under lease.
However, lease income prior to the gain on the sale of equipment
under lease, decreased due to the expiration of leases.
Operating expenses decreased to $134,341 for fiscal 1996
from $311,856 for fiscal 1995. Operating expenses consist of
interest on nonrecourse financing of equipment purchased,
depreciation of equipment under operating leases, administrative
expenses, and payments to a related party for administrative cost
reimbursements. The decrease in operating expenses from fiscal
1995 to fiscal 1996 resulted primarily from the decrease in the
amount of equipment under lease due to lease expirations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash of the Partnership at December 31, 1996 include
undistributed cash available from operations during the period
February 26, 1990 to December 31, 1996.
The Partnership has a cash management program which provides
for the temporary investment of offering proceeds in various
short-term money market instruments pending their investment in
Equipment.
The Partnership generally finances the purchase of Equipment
by the use of nonrecourse loans in an amount in excess of 50% of
the purchase price thereof. The indebtedness incurred by the
Partnership related to the acquisition of Equipment is generally
fully amortized by the monthly rent payments due to the
Partnership under related leases.
The Partnership maintains a working capital and contingency
reserve in an amount equal to 1% of the gross proceeds of the
offering of Units. Such amount, together with any amount
reserved from operations, will be available to meet working
capital requirements and to provide for contingencies.

ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
As stated in Item 9, the Partnership has no executive
officers or directors. The compensation to the General Partners
is set forth in Item 12 of this report.
ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
AND MANAGEMENT
As of December 31, 1996, no person owned of record or was
known by the Partnership to own beneficially more than 5% of the
Partnership's Units then outstanding.
The Partnership has no executive officers. As of December
31, 1996, Gerald A. Horwitz beneficially owned 0.789 Unit;
neither TL General Corp. nor Jerry Schwartz owned any Units.
ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
FEES TO GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES. The General
Partners and their affiliates receive substantial fees,
compensation and reimbursement of expenses from the Partnership.
For its services as placement agent of the Partnership,
Horwitz & Associates, Inc. ("H&A"), an affiliate of Messrs.
Horwitz and Schwartz, received a sales commission of 8% of the
gross proceeds from the offering of Units.
For its services in locating and acquiring equipment, and
arranging for financing and locating lessees, the Partnership
will pay to the General Partners and their affiliates an
Equipment Acquisition Fee in an amount equal to 5% of the
Partnership's equity investment in such equipment; provided,
however, that the Equipment Acquisition Fee shall not be paid if,
and to the extent that, such payment shall cause the amount of
gross proceeds of the offering invested in Equipment (including
costs of investments other than Equipment) to be less than 85% of
the gross proceeds of the offering.
For its services in connection with the sale of any
Equipment, the Partnership may pay to the General Partners and
their affiliates a Subordinated Resale Fee in an amount equal to
one-half of a Competitive Equipment Sale Commission, not to
exceed 3% of the contract sales price of such Equipment, provided
that any Subordinated Resale Fee earned shall not be paid to the
General Partners and their affiliates prior to "Payout." Payout
is defined as the time when the aggregate amount of all
distributions to the Investor Limited Partners of Distributable
Cash equals the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of the Investor
Limited Partners' Capital Contributions, and (ii) a cumulative,
non-compounded 12% annual return on the aggregate amount of each
Investor Limited Partner's unreturned Capital Contributions
(calculated from the date such Investor Limited Partner was
admitted to the Partnership). For purposes of this definition,
Capital Contributions shall be deemed to have been returned only
to the extent that distributions of Distributable Cash to the
Investor Limited Partners exceed the amount required to satisfy
such 12% annual return. If the General Partners participate with
an independent broker on resale, such subordination shall apply
only to the General Partners' Resale Fee. In no event shall
total commissions paid to all persons exceed that which is
reasonable, customary and competitive in light of the size, type
and location of the equipment.
During fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996, the Partnership paid no
sales commissions to H&A and no acquisition fees to the General
Partners.
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE PARTNERSHIP. In
accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners
received distributions of $1,168 and were allocated net income of
$1,021 for fiscal 1996.
REIMBURSEMENTS AND FUTURE SERVICE. From time to time, the
Partnership may engage either or both of the General Partners or
any affiliate of the General Partners, in individual or corporate
capacities and not in the capacities of Partner or affiliate of a
Partner, when and as required, to perform services for the
Partnership on terms that are usual and customary for such
services in the area in which such services are to be rendered.
Such services may include services related to the administration
of the Partnership (e.g., bookkeeping, preparation of tax
returns, SEC reports and filings and preparation of reports to
investors) and the operation of the Partnership (e.g.,
maintenance and re-leasing of the Equipment and collection of
lease payments). Under such circumstances, the person so engaged
would be expected to earn reasonable compensation for such
activities. The General Partners presently estimate that such
reimbursements will not exceed $50,000 per year. In addition,
reimbursements in amounts not presently determinable will also be
made from time to time to the General Partners and their
affiliates for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
the management, administration and operation of the Partnership
and the acquisition of Equipment.
The Partnership paid or accrued reimbursements of $4,705 and
$14,705 for fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively, to
Triumphe Leasing Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General
Partners.

To the Partners
Triumphe Leasing Limited Partnership
Northbrook, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Triumphe
Leasing Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996, and the
related statements of operations, partners' equity and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Triumphe Leasing Limited Partnership at December 31, 1996, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

TRIUMPHE LEASING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Triumphe Leasing Limited Partnership (the"Partnership"), located
in Northbrook, Illinois, was formed on November 9, 1989 under the
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Illinois.
The Partnership acquires, owns, leases, maintains, manages and
sells equipment. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, 145.348 Limited
Partnership units were outstanding.
The Partnership maintains its records on the accrual method of
accounting for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The
statements do not give effect to any assets or liabilities,
including income taxes, that the partners may have outside of
their interest in the Partnership.
The Partnership purchases and leases to third parties various
items of equipment. The equipment purchased by the Partnership
to date and related lease opportunities are brought to the
attention of the Partnership by independent leasing brokers,
who either charge the Partnership a fee for their services or
purchase the equipment and secure the lessee and then resell the
package to the Partnership. At the conclusion of a lease, the
leased equipment is either (i) released to the same lessee, (ii)
leased to a new lessee or (iii) sold. Generally, the Partnership
compensates the independent brokers for re-leasing or disposing
of the equipment purchased to date by allowing them to
participate in the proceeds of the renewal leases or sales.
LEASE ACCOUNTING
The Partnership records leases in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and prevalent accounting practices
within the leasing industry. All existing leases are in the form
of direct financing leases or operating leases.
Direct financing leases are defined as those which transfer
substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the
equipment to the lessee. The Partnership records its net
investment at the inception of the lease as the aggregate of the
gross investment and any initial direct costs less unearned
income, where the gross investment is the aggregate of the
minimum lease payments and the estimated unguaranteed residual
value and unearned income is the difference between the gross
investment and the cost of the leased equipment. Unearned income,
net of initial direct costs, is recognized over the lease term so
as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net
investment in the lease.
Page 22 of 27
<PAGE>
Operating leases are defined as those which do not transfer
substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the
equipment to the lessee. The leased property is included in
computer equipment on operating leases and depreciated following
the Partnership's depreciation policy. Rent is reported as
income over the lease term as it becomes receivable according to
the provisions of the lease.
The Partnership evaluates the recoverability of its portfolio of
leases quarterly, or more frequently whenever events and
circumstances warrant revised estimates, and considers whether
the carrying value of leases should be completely or partially
written off. In 1995, the Partnership adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of." Accordingly, the Partnership assesses the
recoverability of its portfolio of leases based on undiscounted
estimated future operating cash flows. If the Partnership
determines that the carrying value of a lease has been impaired,
the measurement and recognition of the impairment will be based
on discounted estimated future operating cash flows. The effect
of this change was not significant.
The Partnership's leasing operations consist ofthe leasing of
various types of data processing equipment and telecommunications
equipment. One of the Partnership's leases is classified as a
direct financing lease which expires next year. Other data
processing equipment (principally computer terminals) is leased
under operating leases that expire during the next year.
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT ON OPERATING LEASES; DEPRECIATION
Computer equipment on operating leases is stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the double declining balance and
straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
Page 23 of 27
<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES
The Partnership is not a tax-paying entity for federal income tax
purposes and accordingly, no income tax expense has been provided
for in the financial statements. Income or loss from the
Partnership is required to be reported by the partners on their
respective income tax returns.
The Partnership is responsible for State of Illinois replacement
tax on income it generates.
All of the Partnership's leases are treated as operating leases
for income tax purposes
(Note 3).
MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the statements and reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
The Partnership has estimated the residual values of equipment
under direct financing and operating leases. These estimates
have been developed based upon published market values of similar
equipment and the general partners' prior experience. Management
does not currently expect to incur any loss on the disposition or
lease renewal of equipment currently under lease. Given the
volatility of market for the resale of computer equipment, it is
reasonably possible that the Partnership's estimates for residual
value may change in the near term.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. LEASES AND COMPUTER EQUIPMENT FINANCING
Estimated future minimum lease payments under both direct
financing and operating leases, including estimated residual
values of leased property (unguaranteed) of $2,500, net of
unearned income under direct financing and operating leases at
December 31, 1996 are as follows:

======= ======= ======= =======
</TABLE>
The various debt obligations are payable to financial
institutions and include interest at rates ranging from 7.75% to
8.75%. The Partnership estimates that the fair value of its
fixed-rate borrowings approximates the carrying value at
December 31, 1996 given the Partnership's current borrowing
capabilities. The debt obligations are collateralized by the
related equipment and future rental payments under the respective
leases. The indebtedness is without recourse against the
Partnership.
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Partnership pays companies related to the general partners
through common ownership an equipment acquisition fee, in the
amount of 5% of the Partnership's equity investment in such
equipment for locating and acquiring equipment, arranging lease
financing, and locating lessees. Equipment acquisition fees are
not paid unless at least 85% of the gross limited partner
contributions have been invested in equipment. There were no
fees in 1996 and 1995.
The Partnership reimburses companies related to the general
partners through common ownership for reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the management, administration and
operation of the Partnership. These expenses amounted to $4,705
and $14,705 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. At December 31,
1996, $300 of these expenses are unpaid and included in accounts
payable.

</TABLE>
The Partnership's tax basis in its net assets differs from
the amount at which its net assets are reported for financial
reporting purposes, principally due to the accounting for direct
financing leases. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership's basis
for financial reporting purposes in its net assets was less than
its basis for tax reporting purposes by approximately $48,375.
As a result, aggregate future income for financial reporting
purposes will be greater than for income tax reporting purposes.

4. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Approximately 88% of the Partnership's lease income in the year
ended December 31, 1996 was from five customers. In the year
ended December 31, 1995, approximately 82% of lease income was
derived from five customers. The percentages are as follows:
