ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership satisfied its minimum offering requirements and commenced
operations on March 14, 1994.  On that date, subscribers for 128,787 Units were
admitted as Limited Partners of the Partnership.  On May 11,1995, the
Partnership terminated its offering of Units with 631,358 ($12,623,682) Units
sold.

The Partnership's primary source of capital for the six month period ended June
30, 1996 was cash from operations of $1,282,000 and net proceeds from the sale
of computer equipment of $229,000. The Partnership's primary sources of capital
for the six month period ended June 30, 1995, were from Partners' contributions
of $4,352,000, and cash from operations of $1,249,000. The primary uses of cash 
for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were for capital
expenditures for new equipment totaling $99,000 and $2,644,000, respectively,
the payment of preferred distributions to partners of $638,000 and $558,000,
respectively, and the payment of offering costs of $459,000 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1995.

Currently, Partners' contributions and rental income from the Partnership's
leases are invested in money market accounts investing directly in treasury
obligations pending the Partnership's use of such funds to purchase additional
computer equipment, to pay Partnership expenses or to make distributions to the
Partners.  At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 the Partnership had
approximately $555,000 and $342,000, respectively, invested in these money
market accounts.

Accounts payable included approximately $2,000 and $84,000, payable to the
General Partner for management, acquisition and finance fees on leases as of
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. As of December 31, 1995, the
Partnership had an additional payable of $22,000 to Com Cap Corp. for the
purchase of equipment from a third party, which was subsequently paid in January
1996.

The Partnership's investment strategy of acquiring computer equipment and
generally leasing it under "triple-net leases" to operators who generally meet
specified financial standards minimizes the Partnership's operating expenses. 
As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had future minimum rentals on
noncancellable operating leases of $2,556,000 for the year ending December 31,
1996 and $4,816,000, thereafter. During the six month period ended June 30,
1996, and 1995, the Partnership incurred debt in connection with the purchase of
computer equipment totaling $1,148,000 and $157,000, respectively.  At June 30,
1996, the outstanding debt was $3,319,000, with interest rates ranging from
5.75% to 10%, and will be payable through January 1999. The Partnership intends
to continue purchasing additional computer equipment with existing cash, as 
well as when future cash becomes available. In addition, the Partnership may 
incur additional debt in purchasing computer equipment in the future.

The Partnership's cash from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to
cover all operating expenses, liabilities, and preferred distributions to
Partners during the next 12 month period.  If available Cash Flow or Net
Disposition Proceeds are insufficient to cover the Partnership expenses and
liabilities on a short and long term basis, the Partnership will attempt to
obtain additional funds by disposing of or refinancing Equipment, or by
borrowing within its permissible limits.  The Partnership may also reduce the
distributions to its Partners if it deems necessary.  Since the Partnership's
leases are on a "triple-net" basis, no reserve for maintenance and repairs are
deemed necessary.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership recognized income of
$1,309,000 and expenses of $1,364,000, resulting in a net loss of $54,000.  For
the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Partnership recognized income of $972,000
and expenses of $917,000 , resulting in net income of $55,000.  

Lease income increased by 40% from $923,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
to $1,294,000 for the period ended June 30, 1996, primarily due to utilizing
cash available from Partners' contributions for the purchase of Equipment, which
in turn generated more lease income. During the six months ended June 30, 1996,
the Partnership expended $383,000 in cash, and assumed debt and accounts payable
for equipment of $1,148,000 to acquire 4 leases, which generated approximately
$180,000 in revenue.

Interest income decreased (78%) from $49,000 for  the quarter ended June 30,
1995 to $11,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, as a result of utilizing
cash (which primarily consisted of capital contributions which were temporarily
invested in money market accounts) for the purchase of Equipment.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting,
legal, and outside service fees.  The 14% decrease from approximately $21,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $18,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1996 is attributable to a decrease in legal and outside service fees.

The equipment management fee is equal to 5% of the gross lease revenue
attributable to equipment which is subject to operating leases. The equipment
management fee increased (40%) from approximately $46,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1995 to $65,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, which is
consistent with the increase in lease income.

Interest expense increased (260%) from approximately $27,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 to $96,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, as a result
of additional debt incurred for the purchase of Equipment.

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation on computer
equipment, amortization of organizational costs, equipment acquisition fees, and
debt placement fees.  The increase (44%) from approximately $823,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $1,185,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 is
attributable to the purchase of approximately $5,282,000 in additional
equipment.  

For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership generated cash
flows from operating activities of $1,282,000, which includes a net loss of
$8,000, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $2,418,000.  Other noncash
activities included in the determination of net income includes direct payments
of lease income by lessees to banks of $1,135,000 and lease income paid to
original lessors in lieu of cash payments for computer equipment of $22,000.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership generated cash
flows from operating activities of $1,249,000, which includes net income of
$91,000, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $1,559,000.  Other
noncash activities included in the determination of net income includes direct
payments of lease income by lessees to banks of $400,000 and lease income paid
to original lessors in lieu of cash payments for computer equipment of $157,000.
