       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          March 31, 1996
(1)  Basis of Presentation -
     The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by Ziegler Leasing Corporation and subsidiary (the
"Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  Management
believes, however, that these condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
to a fair statement of the results for the periods presented.  All such
adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  It is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
annual report on Form 10-K.
(2)  Consolidation -
     Ziegler Leasing Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, Ziegler
Medical Equipment Group, Inc. ("ZMEG"), is in the business of refurbishing
and remarketing used medical equipment.
(3)  Allowance for possible losses -
     The Company provides for the possibility that ultimately some
customers will be unable to fulfill their lease obligations.  Management
monitors its past due accounts on a continuous basis, and provides for
possible losses based on knowledge of its current customers and the
industry it serves, as well as historical data.  Activity in the allowance
for possible losses for 1995 and for the first quarter of 1996 is
summarized below.

(4)  Commitments -
     As of March 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding written agreements

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            Results of Operations - Three Months Ended
                      March 31, 1996 and 1995
     Total revenues of the Company decreased $5,223 (0%) from $2,563,449
during the first quarter of 1995 to $2,558,226 during the first quarter of
1996.  The primary components of revenue consist of lease income from
operating and financing leases as well as gains on the sale of leased
equipment at lease termination.
     The revenues from operating leases decreased $195,973 (12%) from
$1,591,125 during the first quarter of 1995 to $1,395,152 during the first
quarter of 1996.  The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from a 20%
decrease in the average net investment in operating leases during the first
quarter of 1996 vs the first quarter of 1995.
     The revenue from financing leases increased $2,688 (0%) form $622,416
during the first quarter of 1995 to $625,104 during the first quarter of
1996.  The increase in revenue resulted primarily from the timing of
financing lease activations and terminations, as the average net investment
in financing leases actually decreased 3% in the first quarter of 1996 vs
the first quarter of 1995.
     The gain on sale of equipment at lease termination increased $63,864
(70%) from $91,216 during the first quarter of 1995 to $155,080 during the
first quarter of 1996.  An increase in equipment coming off lease was the
primary reason for the increase in 1996.
     Total expenses for the Company decreased $102,878 (4%) from
$2,448,381 during the first quarter of 1995 to $2,345,503 during the first
quarter of 1996.  The primary components of total expenses consist of
depreciation of rental equipment, interest expense, general and
administrative expenses and provision for losses.
     Depreciation of rental equipment decreased $128,519 (11%) from
$1,209,205 during the first quarter of 1995 to $1,080,686 during the first
quarter of 1996.  The decrease in depreciation expense was due primarily to
a 20% decrease in the average net investment in operating leases during the
first quarter of 1996 vs the first quarter of 1995.
     Interest expense decreased $16,649 (2%) from $727,111 during the
first quarter of 1995 to $710,462 during the first quarter of 1996.  This
decrease was due primarily to a 1% decrease in average debt outstanding
during the first quarter of 1996 vs the first quarter of 1995.
     General and administrative expenses increased $5,162 (1%) from
$454,408 during the first quarter of 1995 to $459,570 during the first
quarter of 1996.  General and administrative expenses are comprised of many
expenses, the largest of which are employee compensation and benefits and
amortization of initial direct costs.
     Employee compensation and benefits increased $28,801 (14%) from
$200,780 during the first quarter of 1995 to $229,581 during the first
quarter of 1996.  The increase was due to the creation of additional sales
positions.
     Initial direct costs are those expenses which are directly related to
lease origination and are capitalized at the inception of the lease and
amortized over the lease term.  The amount of initial direct costs
amortized is influenced by the following factors: net lease activations
(number, amount and term), expected and unexpected lease terminations, and
the presence or absence of broker commissions.  Amortization of initial
direct costs decreased $3,719 (5%) from $68,474 during the first quarter of
1995 to $64,755 during the first quarter of 1996.
     All other general and administrative expenses decreased $19,920 (11%)
from $185,154 during the first quarter of 1995 to $165,234 during the first
quarter of 1996.  This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in costs
associated with the operation of the Company's subsidiary.
     Provision for losses increased $30,035 (100%) from $30,000 during the
first quarter of 1995 to $60,035 during the first quarter of 1996.  This
increase is due to an additional reserve established for an impaired lease.
     Net income increased $98,655 (290%) from $34,068 during the first
quarter of 1995 to $132,723 during the first quarter of 1996.
