  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and
recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial
position at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and results of operations for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been made and
are reflected.


NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND TRUST MATTERS
- ---------------------------------------

  The Trust issued 204,355 Beneficiary Interests to 260 investors for an
aggregate purchase price of $5,108,875 on October 26, 1993, its first Interim
Close.  Sixteen subsequent Interim Closes in 1993, 1994 and 1995 resulted in the
issuance by the Trust of an additional 1,884,675 Beneficiary Interests to 2,375
investors for an aggregate purchase price of $47,116,875.  The Trust's Final
Closing occurred on February 6, 1995.  No additional Beneficiary Interests will
be issued.  In total, the Trust has issued 2,089,030 Beneficiary Interests
representing a total purchase price of $52,225,750 to 2,635 investors.

Net Income and Cash Distributions Per Beneficiary Interest
- ----------------------------------------------------------

  Net income and cash distributions per Beneficiary Interest are based on
2,089,030 Beneficiary Interests outstanding during each of the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 and the three months ended June 30, 1995. Net income
and cash distributions per Beneficiary Interest for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 are based on 2,057,565 Beneficiary Interests which was calculated
using the weighted average number of Beneficiary Interests outstanding during
the period after allocation of the Managing Trustee's and Special Beneficiary's
shares of net income and cash distributions. The weighted average number of
Beneficiary Interests was calculated based on the total number of Beneficiary
Interests outstanding and the number of days each Beneficiary Interest was
outstanding during the period.


NOTE 3 - CASH
- -------------

  The Trust invests excess cash with large institutional banks in reverse
repurchase agreements with overnight maturities.  The reverse repurchase
agreements are secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U. S. Government
securities.


NOTE 4 - REVENUE RECOGNITION
- ----------------------------

  Rents are payable to the Trust monthly, quarterly or semi-annually and no
significant amounts are calculated on factors other than the passage of time.

  During March 1996, the Trust acquired an 8.86% proportionate ownership
interest in an MD-87 jet aircraft leased by Reno Air, Inc. (the "Reno Aircraft")
pursuant to the reinvestment provisions of the Trust's prospectus. The Trust
will receive approximately $157,000 of rental revenue in each of the years in
the period ending June 30, 2002 and $79,000 in the year ending June 30, 2003.
Rents from the Reno Aircraft, as provided for in the lease agreement, are
adjusted monthly for changes of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR").
Future rents from the Reno Aircraft included above reflect the most recent LIBOR
effected rental payment.

interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Trust in July 1996.

  American Finance Group Securities Corp., an affiliate of AFG, was paid the
entire amount of selling commissions incurred at each of the Closings of the
Trust.  Commissions of $411,805, relating to the Closings during 1995, were then
paid to the Soliciting Dealers responsible for the sales.  No Soliciting Dealer
commissions were earned by American Finance Group Securities Corp. for Interests
sold to an unrelated party.


NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE
- ----------------------

  Notes payable at June 30, 1996 consisted of installment notes of $38,778,858
payable to banks and institutional lenders.  The notes bear interest rates
ranging between 5.1% and 13.75%, except for one note which bears a fluctuating
interest rate based on LIBOR plus a margin (5.5% at June 30, 1996).  All of the
installment notes are non-recourse, and are collateralized by the equipment and
assignment of the related lease payments.  The installment notes will be fully
amortized by noncancellable rents.  The carrying value of notes payable
approximates fair value at June 30, 1996.

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

Three and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the three and six months
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ended June 30, 1995:
- --------------------

Overview
- --------

  As an equipment leasing trust, the Trust was organized to acquire a
diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements with
third parties.  The Trust was designed to progress through three principal
phases:  acquisitions, operations, and liquidation.  During the operations
phase, a period of approximately six years, all equipment in the Trust's
portfolio will progress through various stages.  Initially, all equipment will
generate rental revenues under primary term lease agreements.  During the life
of the Trust, these agreements will expire on an intermittent basis and
equipment held pursuant to the related leases will be renewed, re-leased or
sold, depending on prevailing market conditions and the assessment of such
conditions by AFG to obtain the most advantageous economic benefit.  Over time,
a greater portion of the Trust's original equipment portfolio will become
available for remarketing and cash generated from operations and from sales or
refinancings will begin to fluctuate.  Ultimately, all equipment will be sold
and the Trust will be dissolved.  The Trust's operations commenced in 1993.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
  For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Trust recognized lease
revenue of $5,528,992 and $11,129,692, respectively, compared to $4,999,976 and
$7,915,121 for the same periods in 1995. The increase in lease revenue from 1995
to 1996 was attributable principally to the acquisition of additional equipment
subsequent to June 30, 1995, including the effects of reinvestment. The Trust's
original equipment acquisition and leveraging processes were completed in 1995.
Future remarketing activities will cause rental revenues to decline. However, in
the near-term, the Trust's aggregate rental revenues are expected to be
consistent with the six months ended June 30,1996 due to reinvestment
activities.

  The Trust's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the Trust
holds a proportionate ownership interest.  In such cases, the remaining
interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored
by AFG.  Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Trust to further
diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the ownership of selected
assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result from a
concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee.  The Trust and
each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their respective ownership
interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities, revenues, and
expenses associated with the equipment

  Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was $33,028
and $46,849, respectively, compared to $99,928 and $277,106 for the same periods
in 1995.  Interest income is generated from temporary investment of rental
receipts and unexpended capital contributions in short-term money market
instruments.  Interest income was higher in 1995 than 1996 due to the temporary
investment of cash prior to the acquisition of equipment.  The amount of future
interest income is expected to fluctuate in relation to prevailing interest
rates and the collection of lease revenue and equipment sales proceeds.

  During the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Trust sold equipment
having a net book value of $3,000 and $360,510, respectively, to existing
lessees and third parties.  These sales resulted in net losses, for financial
statement purposes, of $1,442 and $92,007, respectively.

                         PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION


  During the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, the Trust sold equipment
having a net book value of $54,325 to existing lessees and third parties.  These
sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $7,187.

  It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a net
gain or a net loss to the Trust, as such transactions will be dependent upon the
condition and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the time of
sale.  In addition, the amount of gain or loss reported for financial statement
purposes is partly a function of the amount of accumulated depreciation
associated with the equipment being sold.

  The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment.  Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any given time.  AFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities which may be advantageous to the Trust and which will maximize
total cash returns for each asset.

  The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset, together
with its residual value.  The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the
asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis.  The Trust classifies such
residual rental payments as lease revenue.  Consequently, the amount of gain or
loss reported in the financial statements is not necessarily indicative of the
total residual value the Trust achieved from leasing the equipment.

  Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 was $3,539,297 and $7,081,212, respectively, compared to $2,964,805 and
$5,069,530 for the same periods in 1995.  For financial reporting purposes, to
the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Trust depreciates
the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual
value of the asset on a straight-line basis over such term.  For purposes of
this policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values
at the date of primary lease expiration.  To the extent that an asset is held
beyond its primary lease term, the Trust continues to depreciate the remaining
net book value of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining
economic life.  The increase in depreciation expense from 1995 to 1996 reflects
the acquisition of equipment subsequent to June 30, 1995.

  Interest expense was $870,658 and $1,763,330 or 15.8% of lease revenue for
each of the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to
$1,069,483 and $1,428,817 or 21.4% and 18.1% of lease revenue for the same
periods in 1995.  The overall increase in interest expense from 1995 to 1996 was
due to additional leveraging obtained in 1995 and 1996.  Interest expense in the
near-term is expected to increase due to leveraging obtained during the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and additional leveraging expected to be obtained
during the remainder of 1996.  Thereafter, interest expense will decline in
amount and as a percentage of lease revenue as the principal balance of notes
payable is reduced through the application of rent receipts to outstanding debt.

  Management fees were 4.4% of lease revenue for each of the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 4.4% and 4.3% of lease revenue for the
same periods in 1995. Management fees are based on 5% of gross lease revenue
generated by operating leases and 2% of gross lease revenue generated by full
payout leases.

  Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges, professional
service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing, distribution
and remarketing expenses.  Collectively, operating expenses represented 1.8% and
2.3% of lease revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996,

respectively, compared to 2.1% and 2% of lease revenue for the same periods in
1995. The increase in operating expenses from 1995 to 1996 was due primarily to
remarketing fees incurred relating to the sale of certain equipment. The amount
of future operating expenses cannot be predicted with certainty; however, such
expenses are usually higher during the acquisition and liquidation phases of a
trust.


Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
- ------------------------------------------------------------

  The Trust by its nature is a limited life entity which was established for
specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview".  As an equipment
leasing program, the Trust's principal operating activities derive from asset
rental transactions.  Accordingly, the Trust's principal source of cash from
operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents.  These cash inflows
are used to satisfy debt service obligations associated with leveraged leases,
and to pay management fees and operating costs.  Operating activities generated
net cash inflows of $8,271,890 and $5,292,766 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  In the near-term, net cash inflows generated from
operating activities are expected to be consistent with the six months ended
June 30, 1996.  Thereafter, renewal, re-lease and equipment sale activities will
cause a gradual decline in the Trust's lease revenue and corresponding sources
of operating cash.  Overall, expenses associated with rental activities, such as
management fees, and net cash flow from operating activities will decline as the
Trust experiences a higher frequency of remarketing events.

  Ultimately, the Trust will dispose of all assets under lease.  This will occur
principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold to the
existing lessee or to a third party.  Generally, this will occur upon expiration
of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term.  In certain instances,
casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an asset.
Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of
stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and conditions contained in the
underlying lease agreements.

  Cash expended for asset acquisitions and cash realized from asset disposal
transactions are reported under investing activities on the accompanying
Statement of Cash Flows.  The Trust expended $1,239,741 and $33,898,651 to
acquire equipment during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The equipment acquired during the six months ended June 30, 1996
was acquired pursuant to the reinvestment provision of the Trust's prospectus.
This equipment was financed through a combination of leveraging and the
reinvestment of sale proceeds.  During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the
Trust realized $268,503 in equipment sale proceeds, compared to $61,512 during
the same period in 1995.  Future inflows of cash from asset disposals will vary
in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors including, but not
limited to the frequency and timing of lease expirations, the type of equipment
being sold, its condition and age, and future market conditions.

  The Trust obtained long-term financing in connection with certain equipment
leases.  The origination of such indebtedness and the subsequent repayments of
principal are reported as components of financing activities.  Cash inflows of
$2,465,737 and $22,761,320 during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, resulted from leveraging a portion of the Trust's equipment
portfolio with third-party lenders.  AFG also provided interim financing to the
Trust until third-party financing was finalized.  The Trust received $30,801 of
such financing during the six months ended June 30, 1995.  There was no
financing provided by AFG during the same period in 1996.

  Each note payable is recourse only to the specific equipment financed and to
the minimum rental payments contracted to be received during the debt
amortization period (which period generally coincides with the lease rental
term).  As rental payments are collected, a portion or all of the rental payment
is used to repay the associated indebtedness.  In the near-term, the amount of
cash used to repay debt obligations will continue to increase as a result of
leveraging obtained during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and

additional leveraging expected to be obtained during the remainder of 1996.
Subsequently, the amount of cash used to repay debt obligations will decline as
the principal balance of notes payable is reduced through the collection and
application of rents.

  During the six months ended June 30, 1995, financing activities also included
cash inflows from capital contributions from the Beneficiaries (net of selling
commissions and organization and offering costs) of $5,324,047.  Substantially
all of these funds were used to purchase equipment.  The Trust's Final Closing
of capital contributions occurred on February 6, 1995.

  Cash distributions to the Managing Trustee, the Special Beneficiary and the
Beneficiaries are declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the
end of each calendar month.  The payment of such distributions is presented as a
component of financing activities.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the
Trust declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations
and Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $1,450,234.  In accordance
with the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, the Beneficiaries were
allocated 90.75% of these distributions, or $1,316,088; the Special Beneficiary
was allocated 8.25%, or $119,644; and the Managing Trustee was allocated 1%, or
$14,502.

  Cash distributions paid to the Participants consist of both a return of and a
return on capital.  To the extent that cash distributions consist of Cash From
Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions should be
viewed as a return of capital.  Cash distributions do not represent and are not
indicative of yield on investment.  Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Trust and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at
its disposal date.  Future market conditions, technological changes, the ability
of AFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events and
circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and the
collective performance of the Trust's equipment portfolio.

  The future liquidity of the Trust will be influenced by the foregoing and will
be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents and the outcome of
residual activities.  The Managing Trustee anticipates that cash proceeds
resulting from these sources will satisfy the Trust's future expense
obligations.  However, the amount of cash available for distribution in future
periods will fluctuate.  Equipment lease expirations and asset disposals will
cause the Trust's net cash from operating activities to diminish over time; and
equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of realization.
Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of monthly cash distributions will occur
during the life of the Trust.
