PART I
Item 1. Business
General
PaineWebber Preferred Yield Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership" or the "Registrant")
is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on
December 18, 1989 and commenced operations on June 22, 1990. The general
partners of the Partnership are CAI Equipment Leasing II Corp., the Managing
General Partner, a Colorado corporation wholly-owned by Capital Associates, Inc.
("CAI"), and General Equipment Management, Inc., the Administrative General
Partner, a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by PaineWebber Group Inc. (The
Managing General Partner and the Administrative General Partner are sometimes
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "General Partners".)
Capital Associates International, Inc. ("CAII"), an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner, is the Class B Limited Partner. The Class B Limited Partner
contributed equipment and cash to the Partnership valued at an amount equal to
12.5% of the aggregate value of the equipment purchased with the net offering
proceeds received from the sale of the Units of Class A Limited Partner Interest
("Units") and the equipment and capital contributed by the Class B Limited
Partner. The Class B Limited Partner satisfied its contribution obligation
during 1992.
The Partnership is required to dissolve and distribute all of its assets not
later than December 31, 2005. The general partners approved a plan of
liquidation in 1998 and the Partnership commenced liquidation as of December 31,
1998. As a result, the Partnership has changed its basis of accounting for
periods subsequent to December 31, 1998 from the going-concern to the
liquidation basis of accounting. The Managing General Partner has sold the
remaining equipment during 1999.
During 1999, the Partnership liquidated substantially all of its net assets
and distributed the related proceeds to the partners in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership retained assets
equal to the estimated settlement value of all remaining liabilities. It is the
intent of the general partner to liquidate the remaining receivables and settle
all liabilities during 2000. Excess cash remaining after the settlement of
liabilities, if any, will be distributed to the Partners in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement.
The Partnership acquired, on an all-cash basis, a portfolio of equipment,
subject to triple net leases with unaffiliated third parties. The Partnership's
portfolio of equipment included industrial, materials handling, mining, medical,
research and development, transportation equipment, store fixtures and
manufacturing testing and office technology equipment, including, computers and
computer-related and telecommunications equipment. Office technology equipment
owned by the Partnership could not exceed 60% of the value of the Partnership's
total equipment portfolio.
A substantial amount of the equipment initially acquired by the Partnership
was purchased by CAII directly from the manufacturer or from independent third
parties and resold or contributed to the Partnership. The balance of the
equipment was purchased directly from independent third parties by the
Partnership. The purchase price of the equipment acquired from CAII and the
value of the equipment contributed by the Class B Limited Partner were equal to
the lesser of the adjusted cost of the equipment or the appraised value of the
equipment at the time of its acquisition by the Partnership. The adjusted cost
of the equipment was equal to the price paid by CAII, plus the cost of an
appraisal, CAII's cost of interim financing for the equipment and any taxes paid
by CAII, less certain interim rentals received by CAII with respect to the
equipment.
The Partnership acquired equipment that was already subject to short-term
leases (generally, 5 years or less). The Partnership's business is not subject
to seasonal variations.

liquidation adopted by the General Partners effective December 31, 1998. The
liquidation basis of accounting presents assets at the amounts expected to be

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued
The Partnership invests working capital and cash flow from operations prior to
its distribution to the partners in short-term highly liquid investments. These
investments are primarily short-term commercial paper issued by large domestic
corporations. In the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, approximate
distributions of net cash flows provided by operations declared and paid by the
Partnership were $3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Distributions
declared was $25.2 million in the year ended December 31, 1997.
Year 2000 Issues
The Partnership uses information systems provided by CAI and has no
information system of its own. CAI completed all Year 2000 readiness work prior
to December 31, 1999 and did not experience any significant problems.
Additionally, the Partnership is not aware of any outside customer or vendor
that experienced Year 2000 issues, that would have any effect on the
Partnership's operations, liquidity, or financial condition. However, CAI and
the Partnership has no means of ensuring that all customers, vendors and third-
party services have conformed to Year 2000 standards. The effect of this risk
is to the Partnership is determined to be minimal.
Equipment Sale
The remaining equipment was sold in the second quarter of 1999 for a sales
price of $1,401,287 and a gain of $96,933. In October 1997, the Partnership
entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party to sell certain
equipment subject to leases for an aggregate sale price of $15,338,420. The
equipment, which included printers, transportation, industrial, communication,
manufacturing and research equipment was originally acquired for purchase prices
aggregating $29,855,031 and had an aggregate net book value of $16,323,645 at
September 30, 1997. The equipment had generated aggregate rents of
approximately $19,000,000 for the Partnership through the date of sale. The
Partnership recorded a writedown of $1,000,000 at September 30, 1997 to reflect
the difference between the sale price and the depreciated value of the
equipment. The sale was consummated and the sales proceeds were received on
October 30, 1997. Of the proceeds received, $156,476 was utilized to repay
related non-recourse debt and the balance less any amount required for
operations, was distributed to the partners in January 1998. The equipment sold
represented approximately 57% of the Partnership's remaining equipment on a net
book value basis at September 30, 1997, and approximately 70% of the September
1997 monthly rental billings.
Sale of Prepaid Leases
Effective September 30, 1998, the Partnership sold the title and its interest
in certain equipment to an unaffiliated third party (Buyer). The lease rentals
had previously been discounted for cash and were recorded as a prepaid rent
obligation on the balance sheet. The Buyer assumed the prepaid rent obligation
of approximately $4,569,000 at September 30, 1998 and paid an additional amount
of cash to the Partnership resulting in a net gain of approximately $528,000
which is included in Gain on sale of equipment.

<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
Sale of Prepaid Leases, continued
As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership has sold all of its fixed assets. In
January 1998, the Partnership distributed a substantial portion of the proceeds
generated by the October 1997 equipment sale discussed above. A final
distribution was made in August 1999 from proceeds of the sale of the remaining
equipment.
The calculation of such distribution was the net of the reserve for current and
contingent liabilities, if any, incidental to the liquidation.
Results of Operations
The Partnership adopted a plan of liquidation effective December 31, 1998, and
accordingly, is using the liquidation basis of accounting. The remaining
equipment under operating lease was sold in the second quarter of 1999 for
$1,401,287. A gain of $96,933 was realized on the sale. A portion of the
proceeds from the sale was used to satisfy the remaining balance of the
discounted lease rental since the lease had been financed with non-recourse
debt. The balance of the proceeds were included in the calculation of cash
available for the final liquidating distribution.
The Partnership's income from liquidating activities during the twelve months
ended December 31, 1999 was realized from a reclassification to income of a
liability account for non-lease related cash received in prior periods, and from
gains realized from the sale of equipment and interest income from cash
equivalents.
Interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 is comprised of
interest expense incurred in connection with the discounted leases. Interest
expense associated with the remaining discounted lease rental decreased as
principal was repaid. As discussed above in the second paragraph, the balance of
the discounted lease rental was repaid to the lender as part of the sale of the
Partnership's remaining equipment.
General and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31,
1999 consisted primarily of state tax fees and storage and transportation fees.
The Partnership received rental payments for equipment subsequent to the sale
of its equipment to a third party. The Partnership remits these rental payments
to the new owners on a monthly basis. Included in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities at December 31, 1999 are approximately $463,907 of rents payable to
the new owners.
Substantially all of the Partnership's revenue since the inception of the
Partnership has been generated from the leasing of the Partnership's equipment
to unaffiliated third parties under triple net leases most of which were in
effect at the time the equipment was acquired by the Partnership. The balance of
the Partnership's revenue consisted of interest income from temporary
investments and gains realized on the sale of equipment.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
1998 Compared to 1997
The Partnership's net income decreased to $1,315,762 for the year ended
December 31, 1998 ("1998 Period") as compared to net income of $2,072,522 for
the year ended December 31, 1997 ("1997 Period") due to portfolio run-off and
sales of equipment offset by corresponding decreases in depreciation and
interest expenses. However, net income as a percent of total revenue increased
by 11% in the current year.
Rentals from operating leases decreased by $6,524,524 or 70%, in the 1998
Period as compared to the 1997 Period. The decrease is attributable to the
expiration of leases in accordance with their respective terms and the sale of
equipment subject to operating leases.
As discussed above, the Partnership performs ongoing assessments of recorded
equipment residual values based on actual sales of similar equipment and other
evaluations of estimated future equipment values and provides for writedowns
when the value of the equipment has been impaired on an other than temporary
basis. Based upon management's assessments as noted above, the Partnership
recorded writedowns totaling $566,670 in the 1998 Period. In the 1997 Period,
the Partnership provided writedowns aggregating $1,000,000.
Depreciation expense decreased by $4,615,862, or 75% in the 1998 Period as
compared to the 1997 Period. The decrease was attributable to the continued
sale of equipment.
Management fees to general partners during the 1998 Period decreased by
$144,754, or 62%, in comparison to the 1997 Period, based upon the reduction of
leases in place and was consistent with the decline in rental revenues.
Interest expense incurred during the 1998 Period decreased by $308,888 or 38%,
as compared to the 1997 Period. Interest expense is composed of two components;
(i) interest expense incurred in connection with the discounting of certain
leases with unaffiliated lenders and (ii) interest incurred in connection with
the amortization of the prepaid rent received pursuant to the Master Lease
transaction. For accounting purposes, the prepaid rent was treated as a
financing. Income was recognized ratably over the terms of the leases and the
related interest was charged to operations. The decreases reflect the continued
repayment of discounted leases, reducing outstanding balances, and the final
amortization of the prepaid rent in September 1998.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $57,235 or 16%, in the 1998
Period as compared to the 1997 Period. The decrease is attributable principally
to a decrease in costs associated with the remarketing of equipment at lease
maturity.
There are no comparative figures for the liquidation expenses which are
recorded in the Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity and Net Assets in
Liquidation as this amount was recorded at December 31, 1998 to accrue for
estimated expenses associated with the liquidation of the Partnership in
accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting. Liquidation expenses are
estimates comprised primarily of a reserve associated with sales and property
tax audits, financial statement audit and tax return preparation for 1999,
investor record maintenance, and expenses reimbursable to the General Partner.

Inflation and Changing Prices
Inflation has not had a material impact on the operations or financial
condition of the Partnership from inception through December 31, 1999.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Managing General Partner has sold the remaining equipment during 1999.
Estimated liquidation expenses for the remaining life of the Partnership have
been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended
December 31, 1998. Management believes such accruals are adequate to cover such
anticipated expenditures.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Partnership was legally dissolved as of December 31, 1999 and all assets and
liabilities were stated at anticipated liquidation value. Consequently, the
Partnership has no market risk exposure.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of
PaineWebber Preferred Yield Fund, L.P.

L.P. and the related statements of changes in partners' capital and statement of
changes in net assets in liquidation in for the year ended December 31, 1999.
In addition, we have audited the accompanying statements of operations, cash
flows and changes in partners' capital for each of the two years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's General Partners. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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 PaineWebber Preferred Yield
Fund, L.P. in liquidation as of December 31, 1999 and as of December 31, 1998
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the respective

generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the General Partners of
the Partnership approved a plan of liquidation and the Partnership commenced
liquidation, effective December 31, 1998. As a result, the Partnership has

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
---------------------
PaineWebber Preferred Yield Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a Delaware
limited Partnership, maintained its accounting records and prepared financial
statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The General Partners approved
a plan of liquidation in 1998 and commenced liquidation as of December 31,
1998. Accordingly, the Partnership has changed its basis of accounting from
the going-concern to the liquidation basis effective December 31, 1998. The
liquidation basis of accounting presents assets at the amounts expected to be
realized in liquidation and liabilities at amounts expected to be paid to
creditors. 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 dates
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates by management
for the years prior to 1998 relate to the allowance for losses and estimated
residual or salvage values. The liquidating value of assets and liabilities
in liquidation are based upon management's best estimates of their
liquidation value at December 31, 1999 and 1998. The Managing General Partner
has sold the remaining equipment during 1999, therefore concluding the
operations for the Partnership.
Risks and Uncertainties
-----------------------
As discussed in Note 7, the Partnership has sold all of its fixed assets
prior to December 31, 1999. No material net realizable value adjustments to
accounts in the financial statements were deemed necessary after adoption of
the liquidation basis of accounting by the General Partner.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Partnership invests working capital and cash flow from operations prior
to its distribution to the partners in short-term highly liquid investments.
These investments are recorded at cost which approximates fair market value.
For purposes of the statement of net assets in liquidation and the statements
of cash flows, the Partnership considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
F-8
<PAGE>
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Equipment on Operating Leases
-----------------------------
Prior to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, rentals from
operating leases were recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease. Equipment on operating leases was stated at cost, including the
acquisition fees paid to the Managing General Partner, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation was calculated on a straight-line basis over the
lease terms, ranging from two to seven years, to an amount equal to the
equipment's estimated fair market value at the lease termination date. In
estimating such values, independent appraisals and other circumstances
regarding the equipment and the lessee were considered. Thereafter, residual
estimates were re-evaluated each quarter. Impairment losses were recognized
when expected future cash flows were less than the assets' carrying value.
Accordingly, when indicators of impairment were present, the Partnership
evaluated the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and intangibles
in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows
of the underlying business. In that event, the Partnership adjusted the net
book value of the underlying assets by the difference between the sum of
expected future discounted cash flows and book value.
Non-recourse Discounting of Rentals
-----------------------------------
The Partnership assigned the rentals from leases to financial institutions at
fixed interest rates on a non-recourse basis. In return for such future lease
payments, the Partnership received the discounted value of the rental
payments in cash. The notes were collateralized by the lease, the related
lease payments and the underlying equipment. Cash proceeds from such
financings were recorded on the balance sheet as discounted lease rentals. As
lessees made payments to the financial institutions, interest expense was
recorded and the outstanding balance of discounted lease rentals was reduced.
Disposition of Equipment
------------------------
When equipment is sold or disposed of, the asset and related accumulated
depreciation and write down for loss, if any, are removed from the accounts
and a gain or loss is recognized.
Deferred Rental Income
----------------------
Lease revenues received but not yet earned were deferred and recognized as
income when earned.
Income Taxes
------------
No provision for income taxes was made in the financial statements since
taxes on Partnership income are the responsibility of the individual partners
rather than the Partnership.
F-9
<PAGE>
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Net Income Per Unit of Class A Limited Partner Interest
-------------------------------------------------------
The net assets in liquidation per weighted average Class A Unit and the net
income per Unit of Class A Limited Partner Interest was computed by dividing
the net income or net assets in liquidation allocated to the Class A Limited
Partners by the weighted average number of Units of Class A Limited Partner
Interest outstanding during the period.
Accrued Liquidation Expenses
----------------------------
Liquidation expenses are estimates comprised primarily of liabilities
associated with sales and property tax audits, financial statement audit and
tax return preparation for 1999, investor record maintenance, and expenses
reimbursable to the General Partner.
2. ORGANIZATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
The Partnership was formed on December 18, 1989 for the purpose of acquiring
and leasing equipment. The Partnership acquired a portfolio of equipment
subject to triple net leases (e.g. repairs, insurance and taxes are paid by
the lessees) with unaffiliated third parties.
The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is CAI Equipment Leasing II
Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capital Associates, Inc., and the
Administrative General Partner is General Equipment
Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paine Webber Group Inc. (The
Managing General Partner and the Administrative General Partner are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "General Partners"). Capital
Associates International, Inc. ("CAII"), an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner, is the Class B Limited Partner. The Class B Limited Partner
contributed equipment to the Partnership having a fair market value equal to
12.5% of the aggregate acquisition value of the equipment purchased with the
offering proceeds received from the sale of the Units of Class A Limited
Partner Interest ("Units") and the equipment contributed by the Class B
Limited Partner. The Class B Limited Partner satisfied its contribution
obligation during 1992.
On March 12, 1990, the General Partners each contributed $100 to the capital
of the Partnership. Between May 21, 1990 and April 19, 1991, 142,128 Units
were sold at a price of $500 per Unit. Nine closings were held pursuant to
which the Partnership received $71,064,000 of gross offering proceeds. The
Partnership incurred $8,952,640 of commissions and other offering expenses in
connection with the sale of these Units, thus receiving $62,111,360 of net
offering proceeds.
The Partnership commenced operations on June 22, 1990 and acquired a total of
$140,473,626 of leased equipment over the life of the Partnership.
During 1997 and 1998, the Partnership sold a substantial portion of its
assets, and all remaining equipment was sold during 1999. A final
distribution was declared to the partners in accordance with the liquidation
provisions in the Partnership Agreement in June 1999. It is the intent of the
General Partner to collect the remaining receivables and settle all
liabilities during 2000. Excess cash remaining after settlement of
liabilities, if any, will be distributed to the Partners in accordance with
the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership was legally dissolved on December
31, 1999.
F-10
<PAGE>
3. PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS
Cash Distributions
Cash distributions, which are based upon the results of operations and cash
generated from operations other than liquidating distributions, are
distributed 5% to the General Partners and 95% to the Class A Limited
Partners and the Class B Limited Partner (collectively, the "Limited
Partners").
In 1997, the Partnership sold a substantial portion of its portfolio, thereby
triggering an event of dissolution as defined in the Partnership Agreement.
As a result, the fourth quarter 1997, the first quarter 1998 and the third
quarter 1999 distribution, and all future distributions, were based on the
respective partners' capital accounts after all allocations of profits and
losses, as provided for in the Partnership Agreement.
Profits and Losses
Profits (not including the special allocations discussed below) were first
allocated to offset prior year losses, if any. Remaining profits were then
allocated among the partners in the same manner that cash distributions were
allocated, or would be allocated (as set forth above) if cash distributions
were equal to the allocable profits.
Losses (not including the special allocations discussed below) were first
allocated to offset prior year profits and then 1% to the General Partners
and 99% to the Limited Partners. The 99% allocated to the Limited Partners
was shared 87.5% for the Class A Limited Partners and 12.5% for the Class B
Limited Partner.
There are several special allocation provisions included in the Partnership
Agreement of which the two most significant are as follows: First,
commissions and expenses paid in connection with the sale of Units were
allocated 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners. The 99%
allocated to the Limited Partners was shared 87.5% for the Class A Limited
Partners and 12.5% for the Class B Limited Partner. Second, depreciation with
respect to the equipment and any losses resulting from the sale of equipment
was allocated 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners,
until the cumulative amount of depreciation and losses so allocated to the
Limited Partners equaled their aggregate capital contributions, net of the
commissions and other expenses paid in connection with the sale of the Units.
The 99% allocated to the Limited Partners was shared by the Class A Limited
Partners and the Class B Partner in proportion to their respective net
capital contributions. The General Partners were also specially allocated
items of income to offset their 1% allocation of these two items.
5. RENTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES, NET
Rents and other receivables, net consists primarily of rents and property
taxes that had been billed and were due, but have not been collected, and
accrued interest receivable.

<PAGE>
6. EQUIPMENT ON OPERATING LEASES, NET
The following schedule provides an analysis of the Partnership's investment
in equipment on operating leases as of December 31, 1998:
1998
----
General equipment, at estimated liquidation value in 1998 $ 1,567,365
============
As discussed above, the Partnership has performed ongoing assessments of
recorded equipment residual values based on actual sales of similar
equipment and other evaluations of estimated future equipment values and
provides for writedowns when the value of the equipment has been impaired on
an other than temporary basis. Based upon managements assessments as noted
above, the Partnership recorded writedowns totaling $566,670 in the 1998
Period. In the 1997 Period, the Partnership provided writedowns aggregating
$1,000,000.
Sale of Prepaid Leases
Effective September 30, 1998, the Partnership sold the title and its
interest in certain equipment to an unaffiliated third party (Buyer). The
lease rentals had previously been discounted for cash and were recorded as
prepaid rent on the balance sheet. The Buyer assumed the prepaid rent
obligation of approximately $4,569,000 at September 30, 1998 and paid a
nominal amount of cash to the Partnership resulting in a net gain of
approximately $528,000 which is included in Gain on sale of equipment.
7. DISCOUNTED LEASE RENTALS
Discounted lease rentals outstanding at December 31, 1998 was $969,404. The
remaining non-recourse obligation, which carried interest at 10.83%, was
relieved with the sale of the final lease in the second quarter of 1999.
8. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Acquisition Fee
---------------
The Managing General Partner received a fee equal to (i) 2.25% of the
purchase price of equipment purchased with gross offering proceeds from the
sale of Units, and (ii) 3.0% of the purchase price of equipment purchased
with reinvested Partnership income as compensation for evaluating,
selecting, negotiating and consummating the acquisition of the equipment.
There was no acquisition fee payable with respect to the equipment
contributed by the Class B Limited Partner. No acquisition fees were earned
during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Acquisition fees
were capitalized in the cost of equipment and depreciated or amortized
according to lease type.
F-12
<PAGE>
8. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES, continued
Management Fees to General Partners
-----------------------------------
The General Partners receive a quarterly fee in an amount equal to 2.0% of
gross rentals for Full Payout Leases, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement, and 5.0% of gross rentals for other leases (payable 55% to the
Managing General Partner and 45% to the Administrative General Partner) as
compensation for services rendered in connection with the management of the
equipment. Management fees of $90,097 and $234,851 were earned by the General
Partners with regard to the rentals earned by the Partnership during 1998 and
1997, respectively.
As part of a class action settlement, beginning January 1996, all fees and
distributions paid to the Administrative General Partner and all future fees
and distributions paid to the Administrative General Partner were assigned by
an affiliate to an escrow account for the benefit of class members.
Disposition Fees
----------------
The Managing General Partner was entitled to receive a subordinated
disposition fee in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the fee that
would be charged by an unaffiliated party, or (ii) 3% of the gross contract
price relating to each sale of equipment as compensation for negotiating and
consummating sales of equipment. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership
reversed previously accrued subordinated disposition fees of $422,828
recorded in prior years because the Managing General Partner concluded that
it is no longer probable that these subordinated disposition fees would be
paid.
Accountable General and Administrative Expenses
-----------------------------------------------
The General Partners are entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses, up to
$25,000 per year, paid on behalf of the Partnership which are incurred in
connection with the administration and management of the Partnership. The
Managing General Partner, billed, for administrative services, $25,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1998. However, upon the adoption of the plan of
liquidation, administrative expenses were accrued at December 31, 1998 for
the year ended December 31, 1999 in expectation of the expenses incurred in
connection with the liquidation of the Partnership. No further reimbursements
to the General Partner are expected.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires disclosure of fair value of certain financial instruments, whether
or not reported in the balance sheet. Where quoted market prices are
unavailable, the values are based on estimates using present value or other
valuation techniques. The results are significantly affected by the
assumptions used including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In addition, because SFAS No. 107 excludes certain assets such as
leased equipment owned by the Partnership, the aggregate fair value amounts
discussed below do not purport to represent and should not be considered
representative of the underlying market value of the Partnership.
F-14
<PAGE>
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class
of the financial instruments are described below.
Cash equivalents and rents and other receivables. Accounts payable and
accrued expenses, payable to affiliates, and accrued interest payable. For
these balances, carrying value approximates fair value due to their short-
term nature.
Discounted lease rentals. For discounted lease rentals, carrying value
approximates fair value based upon the current rate offered for a note of
similar maturity.
