Item 1.  Business
         --------

Capital  Preferred  Yield Fund-II,  L.P., a Delaware  limited  partnership  (the
"Partnership"),  was  organized  on  November  19,  1991 and is  engaged  in the
business of owning and leasing  equipment.  CAI Equipment  Leasing III Corp.,  a
Colorado  corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Capital Associates,  Inc.
("CAI"), is the general partner of the Partnership.

Capital Associates  International,  Inc.  ("CAII"),  an affiliate of the general
partner, is the sole Class B limited partner of the Partnership. In exchange for
its Class B limited partner interest,  CAII contributed  $330,000 (i.e., $10,000
for each $1,000,000  contribution to the Partnership made by the Class A limited
partners)  to the  Partnership  making it the  largest  single  investor  in the
Partnership.  CAII's interest in Distributable Cash is subordinated to the Class
A limited partners' interest. The contributions of CAII were made simultaneously
with the purchase of equipment by the Partnership.

The  Partnership's  overall  investment  objectives are to (i) raise the maximum
allowable   capital  from  investors  for  investment  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership's  investment  objectives  described in the Prospectus;  (ii) invest
such capital and related  indebtedness  in a diversified  portfolio of equipment
subject to leases with  creditworthy  businesses  with terms ranging from two to
seven years;  (iii) if funds are available for  distribution,  make monthly cash
distributions   to  the  Class  A  and  Class  B  Limited  Partners  during  the
reinvestment  period (a period that ended June 30,  1997);  (iv)  re-invest  all
available  undistributed  cash from operations and cash from sales in additional
equipment during the reinvestment period to increase the Partnership's portfolio
of  revenue-generating  equipment,  provided  that  suitable  equipment  can  be
identified and acquired;  and (v) sell or otherwise dispose of the Partnership's
equipment  and other assets in an orderly  manner and promptly  distribute  cash
from  sales  thereof  to the  Partners  within  four  years  of  the  end of the
reinvestment period.

Through June 30, 1997, the Partnership acquired equipment of various types under
lease to third parties on short-term  leases  (generally  less than five years).
All of the equipment was purchased by CAII directly from  manufacturers  or from
other  independent  third  parties and sold to the  Partnership.  The  equipment
generally  consisted  of  point  of sale  equipment,  transportation  equipment,
computer  equipment,  above ground mining  equipment  and printed  circuit board
manufacturing  equipment,  among others (the  "equipment").  See Item 13 of this
report,  "Certain  Relationships  and Related  Transactions"  for the listing of
equipment purchased during 1997.

The Partnership may assign the rentals from leases to financial institutions, or
acquire  leases  subject  to such  assignments,  at  fixed  interest  rates on a
non-recourse  basis.  In  the  event  of  default  by a  lessee,  the  financial
institution has a first lien on the underlying leased equipment, with no further
recourse  against  the  Partnership.  Cash  proceeds  from such  financings,  or
financings  assumed in the  acquisition  of leases,  are recorded on the balance
sheet as  discounted  lease  rentals.  As lessees  make  payments  to  financial
institutions, leasing revenue and interest expense are recorded.

Item 1.  Business, continued
         --------

During 1997, the  Partnership  leased  equipment to investment  grade lessees in
financial  services,  transportation  services  and  manufacturing.   Since  the
Partnership's formation,  approximately 72% of the Partnership's equipment under
lease was  leased to  investment  grade  lessees.  Pursuant  to the  Partnership
Agreement,  an  investment  grade  lessee is a  company  (i) with a net worth in
excess of $100  million  (and no debt  issues  that are  rated);  or (ii) with a
credit rating of not less than Baa as determined  by Moody's  Investor  Service,
Inc., or comparable  credit rating,  as determined by another  recognized credit
rating  service;  or (iii) a  lessee,  all of whose  lease  payments  have  been
unconditionally  guaranteed  or  supported  by a letter  of  credit  issued by a
company meeting one of the above requirements. The Partnership limits its credit
risk  through  selective  use of  non-recourse  debt  financing  of future lease
rentals, as described above.

The  Partnership  only  acquires  equipment  that  is on  lease  at the  time of
acquisition. After the initial term of its lease, each item of equipment will be
expected to produce additional investment income from its re-lease or sale. Upon
expiration of the initial lease,  the  Partnership  attempts to re-lease or sell
the equipment to the existing lessee. If a re-lease or sale to the lessee cannot
be negotiated,  the Partnership will attempt to lease or sell the equipment to a
third party.

The Partnership's business is not subject to seasonal variations.

The ultimate rate of return on leases depends,  in part, on the general level of
interest rates at the time the leases are originated as well as future equipment
values and on-going lessee  creditworthiness.  Because leasing is an alternative
to financing  equipment  purchases with debt,  lease rates tend to rise and fall
with interest rates (although  lease rate movements  generally lag interest rate
changes in the capital markets).

The Partnership has no employees.  The officers,  directors and employees of the
general  partner  and  its  affiliates   perform   services  on  behalf  of  the
Partnership. The general partner is entitled to receive certain fees and expense
reimbursements in connection with the performance of these services. See Item 10
of this Report,  "Directors and Executive  Officers of the Partnership" and Item
13 of this Report, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions".

The  Partnership  competes  in  the  leasing  marketplace  as a  lessor  with  a
significant  number  of  other  companies,  including  equipment  manufacturers,
leasing companies and financial institutions. The Partnership competes mainly on
the basis of the  expertise  of its general  partner in  remarketing  equipment,
terms offered in its transactions, pricing and service. Although the Partnership
does not account for a significant percentage of the leasing market, the general
partner  believes  that the  Partnership's  marketing  strategies  and financing
capabilities will enable it to continue to compete  effectively in the equipment
leasing and remarketing markets.

The Partnership leases equipment to a significant  number of lessees.  No single
lessee and its  affiliates  accounted  for more than 10% of total revenue of the
Partnership during 1997.

Item 1.  Business, continued
         --------

The Partnership  entered its  liquidation  period (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) in July 1997. During the liquidation  period,  purchases of equipment
have ceased (other than for prior commitments and equipment upgrades).

The  Partnership  is required to dissolve  and  distribute  all of its assets no
later than December 31, 2009. However,  the general partner anticipates that all
equipment  will be sold  prior to that  date and  that the  Partnership  will be
liquidated between 1998 and 2001.


Item 2.  Properties
         ----------

Per the  Partnership  Agreement,  the  Partnership  does  not own or  lease  any
physical properties other than the equipment discussed in Item 1 "Business",  of
this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partnership's equipment is the subject of
any material pending legal proceedings.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
         ---------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of the limited  partners of the Partnership,
through the  solicitation  of proxies or  otherwise,  during the fourth  quarter
ended December 31, 1997.


Item 5.  Market  for  the  Partnership's  Common  Equity and Related Stockholder
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         Matters
         -------

(a)      The Partnership's Class A limited partner units,  Class B  interest and
         general  partner  interest  are  not  publicly  traded.   There  is  no
         established  public  trading  market  for such  units and interests and
         none is expected to develop.

(b)      As  of  December 31, 1997, the  number  of Class A limited partners was
         1,774.

(c)      Distributions
         -------------

         During 1997, the Partnership made twelve (12)  distributions (a portion
         of which  constituted a return of capital) to Class A limited partners,
         as follows:

                                               =======             ===========

         Distributions  may be  characterized  for tax,  accounting and economic
         purposes  as a return of  capital,  a return on  capital  or both.  The
         portion of each cash  distribution  by a partnership  which exceeds its
         net income for the fiscal  period may be deemed a return of capital for
         accounting  purposes.  However, the total percentage of a partnership's
         return  on  capital  over its life can  only be  determined  after  all
         residual cash flows (which  include  proceeds from the  re-leasing  and
         sale  of  equipment)  have  been  realized  at the  termination  of the
         Partnership.

         The  distribution  for the month  ended  December  31,  1997,  totaling
         $500,000, was paid to the Class A limited partners during January 1998.
         Distributions to the general partner and Class B limited partner during
         1997 are  discussed in Item 13 of this Report,  "Certain  Relationships
         and Related Transactions."

         The  general  partner  believes  that  the  Partnership  will  generate
         sufficient  cash flow from  operations  during 1998 to (1) meet current
         operating  requirements and (2) fund cash  distributions to the Class A
         limited   partners  in  accordance  with  the  Partnership   Agreement.
         Distributions  during the  liquidation  period  will be based upon cash
         availability  and will vary.  All  distributions  are  expected to be a
         return of capital for economic purposes.

The  Partnership is in the  liquidation  period,  as defined in the  Partnership
Agreement  and,  as  expected  the  Partnership  is  not  purchasing  additional
equipment,  initial  leases  are  expiring  and the  amount of  equipment  being
remarketed (i.e., re-leased,  renewed, or sold) is increasing. As a result, both
the size of the  Partnership's  leasing  portfolio  and the  amount  of  leasing
revenue are declining.

                                              Years Ended December 31,

All  components of leasing  margin  decreased due to portfolio  runoff.  Leasing
margin ratio fluctuates based upon remarketing  activities.  Remarketing revenue
will vary as initial lease terms expire.

The ultimate rate of return on leases depends, in part, on interest rates at the
time the leases are originated as well as future  equipment  values and on-going
lessee  creditworthiness.   Because  leasing  is  an  alternative  to  financing
equipment  purchases with debt,  lease rates tend to rise and fall with interest
rates (although lease rate movements  generally lag interest rate changes in the
capital markets).

EQUIPMENT SALES MARGIN

Equipment sales margin consists of the following:

                                              Years Ended December 31,
                                  ---------------------------------------------

Cost of equipment sales            (1,644,814)     (2,676,007)       (744,967)
                                 ------------    ------------      ----------
Equipment sales margin           $    572,363    $    189,435      $  248,350
                                 ============    ============      ==========

The  Partnership  is in its  liquidation  period (as defined in the  Partnership
Agreement).  Currently,  a  portion  of the  Partnership's  initial  leases  are
expiring and equipment is being  remarketed  (i.e.,  re-leased or sold to either
the original lessee or a third party) and, accordingly, the timing and amount of
equipment sales cannot be projected  accurately.  However equipment sales margin
is expected to increase during the liquidation period.

         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         of Operations, continued

INTEREST INCOME

Interest  income varies due to (i) the amount of cash  available for  investment
(pending distribution or equipment purchases) and (ii) the interest rate on such
invested cash.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES

The  remarketing  of  equipment  for an amount  greater  than its book  value is
reported as equipment  sales margin (if the equipment is sold) or leasing margin
(if the equipment is re-leased). The realization of less than the carrying value
of equipment (which is typically not known until  remarketing  subsequent to the
initial lease termination has occurred) is recorded as provision for losses.

Residual values are established equal to the estimated value to be received from
the equipment following termination of the lease. In estimating such values, the
Partnership considers all relevant facts regarding the equipment and the lessee,
including,  for  example,  the  likelihood  that the lessee  will  re-lease  the
equipment.  The nature of the  Partnership's  leasing  activities is that it has
credit and residual value exposure and,  accordingly,  in the ordinary course of
business,  it will incur losses from those exposures.  The Partnership  performs
ongoing  quarterly  assessments  of its assets to identify  other-than-temporary
losses in value.

The  provision  for losses  recorded  during the year ended  December  31,  1997
related to the following:

*    $245,000 related to lessees  returning  equipment to the  Partnership.  The
     Partnership  had previously  expected to realize the carrying value of that
     equipment  through  lease  renewals  and  proceeds  from  the  sale  of the
     equipment to the original  lessee.  The fair market value of the  equipment
     re-leased  or  sold  to  a  third  party  is  considerably  less  than  was
     anticipated.

*    $80,000  for a  deficiency  related to a lease with  Ernst Home  Center,  a
     lessee that filed for Chapter 11  bankruptcy  protection  on July 12, 1996.
     The lease was funded with  non-recourse  debt and the  lending  institution
     repossessed  and liquidated the equipment  during March 1997 resulting in a
     deficiency to the Partnership.

The provision for losses recorded during 1996 related to the following items:

*    $245,000 to record the  Partnership's  loss  exposure  related to Barney's,
     Inc., a lessee that filed for Chapter 11  bankruptcy  protection on January
     10, 1996. In July 1996,  negotiations  were  finalized and a settlement was
     received for the Partnership's claim.

*    $180,000 related to Norcross  Footwear,  a lessee that filed for Chapter 11
     bankruptcy  protection on February 9, 1996.  The lease was rejected  during
     second  quarter  1996 and the  equipment  has been sold or  returned to the
     Partnership.  The fair market value of the equipment re-leased or sold to a
     third party was considerably less than anticipated.

         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         of Operations, continued

PROVISION FOR LOSSES, continued

*    $400,000 and $75,000 related to lessees returning computer equipment and an
     MRI  system,   respectively,   to  the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  had
     previously expected to realize the carrying value of that equipment through
     lease  renewals  and  proceeds  from sale of the  equipment to the original
     lessee. The fair market value of the equipment re-leased or sold to a third
     party is considerably less than was anticipated.

The provision for losses recorded during 1995 related to the following items:

*    $360,000 due to a lease of mass storage computer  equipment that terminated
     during 1995.

*    $150,000 due to lessees returning modular buildings and computer  equipment
     to the Partnership.

*    $100,000 due to a settlement agreement reached with a lessee that filed for
     protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Partnership funds its operating activities principally with cash from rents,
discounted lease rentals  (non-recourse  debt),  interest  income,  and sales of
off-lease  equipment.  Available cash and cash reserves of the  Partnership  are
invested  in  short-term   government  securities  pending  the  acquisition  of
equipment or distributions to the partners.

During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership acquired equipment subject to leases
with a total equipment purchase price of approximately  $1,085,000,  $14,395,000
and $3,032,000, respectively.

During  1997,  1996 and 1995,  the  Partnership  declared  distributions  to the
partners of $4,995,930,  $4,101,808 and $4,131,126,  respectively. A substantial
portion of such distributions constituted a return of capital. Distributions may
be  characterized  for tax,  accounting  and  economic  purposes  as a return of
capital, a return on capital or both. The portion of each cash distribution by a
partnership  which  exceeds its net income for the fiscal period may be deemed a
return of capital for accounting  purposes.  However,  the total percentage of a
partnership's  return on capital over its life will only be determined after all
residual  cash flows (which  include  proceeds from the  re-leasing  and sale of
equipment   after  initial  lease  terms  expire)  have  been  realized  at  the
termination of the Partnership.

The general partner believes that the Partnership will generate  sufficient cash
flow from operations during 1998 to (1) meet current operating  requirements and
(2) fund cash  distributions  to the Class A limited partners in accordance with
the Partnership  Agreement.  Distributions during the liquidation period will be
based upon cash availability and will vary. All distributions are expected to be
a return of capital for economic purposes.

THE PARTNERS
CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND-II, L.P.:

We have  audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of Capital  Preferred  Yield
Fund-II,  L.P. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  and the related  statements of
income,  partners'  capital,  and  cash  flows  for  each  of the  years  in the
three-year  period ended December 31, 1997.  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 Capital  Preferred  Yield
Fund-II,  L.P.  as of  December  31,  1997  and  1996,  and the  results  of its
operations  and its cash  flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period
ended  December 31, 1997,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     -----------------------------------------------------------

     Organization

       Capital Preferred Yield Fund-II, L.P. (the "Partnership"),  was organized
       on November 19, 1991 as a limited partnership under the laws of the State
       of  Delaware  pursuant  to  an  Agreement  of  Limited  Partnership  (the
       "Partnership  Agreement").  The Partnership was formed for the purpose of
       acquiring   and  leasing  a   diversified   portfolio   of  equipment  to
       unaffiliated third parties.  The Partnership will continue until December
       31, 2009 unless  terminated  earlier in accordance  with the terms of the
       Partnership  Agreement.  All Partnership equipment is expected to be sold
       and the Partnership  liquidated prior to 2009. The general partner of the
       Partnership is CAI Equipment Leasing III Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary
       of Capital Associates, Inc. ("CAI").

       The general  partner  manages the  Partnership,  including  investment of
       funds,  purchase  and sale of  equipment,  lease  negotiation  and  other
       administrative  duties.  The  Partnership  initially sold 135,774 Class A
       limited  partner units to 1,796  investors at a price of $250 per Class A
       limited partner unit.

       Capital  Associates   International,   Inc.  ("CAII"),   a  wholly  owned
       subsidiary  of CAI, is the Class B limited  partner.  The Class B limited
       partner was required to contribute  cash, upon  acquisition of equipment,
       in an amount equal to 1% of gross  offering  proceeds  received  from the
       sale of Class A  limited  partner  units.  The  Class B  limited  partner
       contributed $330,000 to the Partnership.  The Class B limited partner has
       no remaining obligation to contribute cash to the Partnership.

     Use of 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
       financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenue and expenses
       during the  reporting  period.  For leasing  entities,  this includes the
       estimate of residual  values,  as discussed  below.  Actual results could
       differ from those estimates.

     Partnership Cash Distributions and Allocations of Profit and Loss

       Cash Distributions
       ------------------

       During the Reinvestment Period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement),
       available cash was distributed to the partners as follows:

         First,  1.0% to the  general  partner  and 99.0% to the Class A limited
         partners  until  the  Class  A  limited   partners   received   annual,
         non-compounded   cumulative   distributions   equal  to  12%  of  their
         contributed capital.

       Cash Distributions, continued
       ------------------

         Second,  1.0% to the  general  partner and 99.0% to the Class B limited
         partner   until   the   Class  B  limited   partner   received   annual
         non-compounded cumulative distributions equal to 11% of its contributed
         capital.

         Third,  any remaining  available  cash was reinvested or distributed to
         the partners as specified in the Partnership Agreement.

       After the Reinvestment Period (as defined in the Partnership  Agreement),
       available cash will be distributed to the partners as follows:

         First, in accordance with the first and second  allocations  during the
         Reinvestment Period as described above.

         Second,  99.0% to the Class A limited  partners and 1.0% to the general
         partner,  until the Class A limited partners achieve Payout (as defined
         in the Partnership Agreement).

         Third,  99.0% to the Class B limited  partner  and 1.0% to the  general
         partner,  until the Class B limited partner achieves Payout (as defined
         in the Partnership Agreement).

         Fourth,  99.0% to the Class A and Class B limited partners (as a class)
         and 1.0% to the general partner,  until the Class A and Class B limited
         partners  receive  cash  distributions  equal to 170% of their  capital
         contributions.

       Thereafter,  90% to the Class A and Class B limited partners (as a class)
       and 10% to the general partner.

       Profits and Losses
       ------------------

       There  are  several   special   allocations   that  precede  the  general
       allocations of profits and losses to the partners.  The most  significant
       special allocations are as follows:

         First,  commissions  and expenses paid in  connection  with the sale of
         Class A limited partner units are allocated 1.0% to the general partner
         and 99.0% to the Class A limited partners.

         Second,  depreciation  relating to Partnership equipment and any losses
         resulting  from the sale of equipment are generally  allocated  1.0% to
         the  general  partner  and  99.0%  to  the  limited   partners  (shared
         99.0%/1.0% by the Class A and Class B limited  partners,  respectively)

       Profits and Losses, continued
       ------------------

         until  the  cumulative  amount  of such  depreciation  and such  losses
         allocated  to  each  limited  partner  equals  such  limited  partner's
         contributed  capital  reduced by commissions and other expenses paid in
         connection  with the sale of Class A limited partner units allocated to
         such partner.  Thereafter,  gain on sale of equipment,  if any, will be
         allocated  to the  general  partner  in an  amount  equal to the sum of
         depreciation and loss on sale of equipment  previously allocated to the
         general partner.

         Third,  notwithstanding  anything in the  Partnership  Agreement to the
         contrary,  and before any other allocation is made, items of income and
         gain for the current year (or period) shall be allocated, as quickly as
         possible,  to the general  partner to the extent of any deficit balance
         existing in the general  partner's  capital  account as of the close of
         the immediately  preceding year, in order to restore the balance in the
         general partner's capital account to zero.

       After giving  effect to special  allocations,  profits (as defined in the
       Partnership  Agreement) are first  allocated in proportion to, and to the
       extent of,  any  previous  losses,  in  reverse  chronological  order and
       priority.  Any  remaining  profits  are  allocated  in the same order and
       priority as cash distributions.

       After  giving  effect to special  allocations,  losses (as defined in the
       Partnership  Agreement) are allocated in proportion to, and to the extent
       of, any previous profits,  in reverse  chronological  order and priority.
       Any remaining  losses are allocated 1.0% to the general partner and 99.0%
       to the limited  partners  (shared  99.0%/1.0%  by the Class A and Class B
       limited partners, respectively).

     Financial Reporting
     -------------------

       For financial reporting purposes, net income is allocated to the partners
       in a manner consistent with the allocation of cash distributions.

     Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

       During  1997,  the  Partnership  adopted  SFAS No.  125,  Accounting  for
       Transfer  and  Servicing  of  Financial  Assets  and  Extinguishments  of
       Liabilities ("SFAS No. 125"). SFAS No. 125 provides consistent  standards
       for  distinguishing  transfers  of  financial  assets that are sales from
       transfers that are secured  borrowings.  The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did
       not have a material  impact on the  Partnership's  financial  position or
       results of operations.

 1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
     -----------------------------------------------------------

     Long-lived Assets

       The  Partnership  accounts for long-lived  assets under the provisions of
       Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121, Accounting for the
       Impairment of Long-lived  Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed
       Of ("SFAS  No.  121").  SFAS No. 121  requires  that  long-lived  assets,
       including  operating leases, and certain  identifiable  intangibles to be
       held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment  whenever events or
       changes in  circumstances  indicate that the carrying  amount of an asset
       may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability,  the
       entity should  estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the
       use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected
       future cash flows  (undiscounted  and without  interest  charges) is less
       than the carrying  amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.
       Measurement  of an  impairment  loss  for  long-lived  assets,  including
       operating leases, and identifiable intangibles held by the Partnership is
       based on the fair  value  of the  asset  calculated  by  discounting  the
       expected future cash flows at an appropriate interest rate.

     Lease Accounting

       Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 13,  Accounting  for
       Leases,  requires  that a lessor  account  for each  lease by the  direct
       finance,  sales-type or operating lease method. The Partnership currently
       utilizes  the  direct  financing  and  operating  methods  for all of the
       Partnership's equipment under lease. Direct finance leases are defined as
       those leases which transfer  substantially  all of the benefits and risks
       of ownership of the equipment to the lessee. For all types of leases, the
       determination of profit considers the estimated value of the equipment at
       lease termination, referred to as the residual value. After the inception
       of a lease, the Partnership may engage in financing of lease  receivables
       on a nonrecourse  basis (i.e.,  "non-recourse  debt" or "discounted lease
       rentals")  and/or  equipment sale  transactions  to reduce or recover its
       investment in the equipment.

     The Partnership's  accounting methods and their financial reporting effects
     are described below.

     Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases ("DFLs")

       The cost of the equipment, including acquisition fees paid to the general
       partner,  is  recorded  as net  investment  in DFLs  on the  accompanying
       balance sheet. Leasing revenue,  which is recognized over the term of the
       lease,  consists  of the  excess  of lease  payments  plus the  estimated
       residual  value over the  equipment's  cost.  Earned income is recognized
       monthly to provide a constant  yield and is  recorded  as direct  finance
       lease income on the accompanying  income statements.  Residual values are
       established  at  lease  inception  equal  to the  estimated  value  to be
       received from the equipment  following  termination  of the initial lease
       (which in certain circumstances  includes anticipated re-lease proceeds),
       as determined by the general  partner.  In  estimating  such values,  the
       general  partner  considers  all  relevant   information   regarding  the
       equipment and the lessee.

     -----------------------------------------------------------

     Equipment on Operating Leases ("OLs")

       The cost of  equipment,  including  acquisition  fees paid to the general
       partner,  is recorded as leased  equipment  in the  accompanying  balance
       sheets and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term to
       an amount equal to the estimated  residual value at the lease termination
       date.  Leasing  revenue  consists  principally  of  monthly  rents and is
       recognized  as  operating  lease  rentals  in  the  accompanying   income
       statements.  Residual  values are established at lease inception equal to
       the  estimated  value  to  be  received  from  the  equipment   following
       termination of the initial lease (which in certain circumstances includes
       anticipated re-lease proceeds),  as determined by the general partner. In
       estimating  such  values,  the general  partner  considers  all  relevant
       information  and  circumstances  regarding  the equipment and the lessee.
       Because  revenue,  depreciation  expense and the resultant  profit margin
       before  interest  expense are  recorded  on a  straight-line  basis,  and
       interest  expense  on  discounted  lease  rentals  (discussed  below)  is
       recorded on the interest method,  lower returns are realized in the early
       years of the term of an OL and higher returns in later years.

     Non-recourse Discounting of Rentals

       The  Partnership  may assign the future  rentals from leases to financial
       institutions,  or acquire  leases subject to such  assignments,  at fixed
       interest  rates on a  non-recourse  basis.  In return  for such  assigned
       future  rentals,  the  Partnership  receives the discounted  value of the
       rentals  in cash.  In the event of  default  by a lessee,  the  financial
       institution has a first lien on the underlying leased equipment,  with no
       further  recourse  against  the  Partnership.  Cash  proceeds  from  such
       financings,  or the  assumption of such  financings,  are recorded on the
       balance sheet as discounted  lease  rentals.  As lessees make payments to
       financial   institutions,  leasing   revenue  and  interest  expense  are
       recorded.

     Non-recourse Financing of Operating Lease Rentals

       The Partnership may assign  substantially all of its rights under certain
       operating leases to a purchaser and subsequently the purchaser may assign
       the rentals from such leases to a financial institution at fixed interest
       rates on a non-recourse  basis.  The Partnership  receives the discounted
       value of the  rentals  in cash from the  financial  institution.  As with
       discounted  lease rentals  discussed  above, in the event of default by a
       lessee,  the  financial  institution  has a first lien on the  underlying
       leased equipment, with no further recourse against the Partnership or the
       Partnership's  assets. The purchaser cannot be the owner of the equipment
       for  financial  reporting  purposes  because the purchaser has not made a
       sufficient  investment  in the  equipment  and does not have  significant
       risks of ownership.  Therefore,  the transaction  cannot be recorded as a
       sale.  Accordingly,   cash  proceeds  from  financings  related  to  such
       transactions  are  recorded  on the balance  sheet as financed  operating
       lease  rentals.  As lessees  make  payments  to  financial  institutions,
       leasing revenue and interest expense are recorded.

     -----------------------------------------------------------

     Allowance for Losses

       An allowance for losses is maintained at levels determined by the general
       partner to adequately  provide for any  other-than-temporary  declines in
       asset values. In determining losses, economic conditions, the activity in
       the  used  equipment   markets,   the  effect  of  actions  by  equipment
       manufacturers,  the financial condition of lessees,  the expected courses
       of action by lessees with regard to leased  equipment at  termination  of
       the  initial  lease term,  and other  factors  which the general  partner
       believes are relevant, are considered. Asset chargeoffs are recorded upon
       the  termination  or  remarketing  of the  underlying  assets.  The lease
       portfolio  is  reviewed  quarterly  to  determine  the  adequacy  of  the
       allowance for losses.

     Transactions Subsequent to Initial Lease Termination

       After the initial term of equipment under lease expires, the equipment is
       either sold or re-leased to the existing  lessee or another  third party.
       The  remaining  net book value of  equipment  sold is removed and gain or
       loss  recorded  when  equipment is sold.  The  accounting  for  re-leased
       equipment  is  consistent  with  the  accounting   described  under  "Net
       Investment  in Direct  Financing  Leases"  and  "Equipment  on  Operating
       Leases" above.

     Income Taxes

       No provision for income taxes has been made in the  financial  statements
       since  taxable  income  or loss is  recorded  in the tax  returns  of the
       individual partners.

     Cash Equivalents

       The Partnership considers short-term,  highly liquid investments that are
       readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents. Cash
       equivalents  of  approximately  $1,853,000 and $1,718,000 at December 31,
       1997 and 1996,  respectively,  are  comprised of  investments  in a money
       market fund which invests  solely in U.S.  Government  securities  having
       maturities of 90 days or less.

     Equipment Held for Sale or Re-lease

       Equipment  held for sale or  re-lease,  recorded  at the lower of cost or
       market value  expected to be realized,  consists of equipment  previously
       leased to end users which has been returned to the Partnership  following
       lease expiration.

 9.  Concentration of Credit Risk
     ----------------------------

     Approximately 72% of the Partnership's  equipment under lease was leased to
     investment  grade  lessees.  Pursuant  to  the  Partnership  Agreement,  an
     investment  grade  lessee is a company (i) with net worth in excess of $100
     million (and no debt issues that are rated),  or (ii) with a credit  rating
     of not less than Baa as determined by Moody's  Investor  Service,  Inc., or
     comparable credit rating as determined by another  recognized credit rating
     service;  or  (iii)  a  lessee,  all of  whose  lease  payments  have  been
     unconditionally  guaranteed  or supported by a letter of credit issued by a
     company meeting one of the above requirements.

 9.  Concentration of Credit Risk, continued
     ----------------------------

     The  Partnership's  cash balance is maintained  with a high credit  quality
     financial institution. At times such balances may exceed the FDIC insurance
     limit  due to  receipt  of  lockbox  amounts  that  have  not  cleared  the
     presentment  bank  (generally for less than two days).  As the funds become
     available, they are invested in a money market mutual fund.

10.  Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     -----------------------------------------------------

     Statement of Financial  Standards No. 107,  Disclosures about Fair Value of
     Financial   Instruments   specifically  excludes  certain  items  from  its
     disclosure  requirements  such as the  Partnership's  investment  in leased
     assets.  The  carrying  amounts  at  December  31,  1997  for cash and cash
     equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
     payable to  affiliates,  rents and sale  proceeds  received  in advance and
     distributions  payable to partners approximate their fair values due to the
     short maturity of these instruments.

     As of December 31, 1997,  discounted  lease rentals and financed  operating
     lease rentals of approximately $7,962,000 and $2,257,000, respectively, had
     fair values of $7,082,000  and  $2,031,000.  The fair values were estimated
     utilizing  market rates of comparable  debt having  similar  maturities and
     credit quality as of December 31, 1997.
