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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership's primary sources of capital for the six month period ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 were cash from operations of $1,045,000 and $806,000,
respectively; and net proceeds from the sale of computer equipment of $225,000
for the six month period ended June 30, 2000. The primary uses of cash for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000 was for preferred distributions to partners
of $715,000 and equipment management fee of $59,000 to the General Partner.

Currently, 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,
2000, and 1999 the Partnership had approximately $123,000 and $217,000,
respectively, invested in these money market accounts.

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, 2000, the Partnership had future minimum rentals on noncancellable
operating leases of $784,000 for the year ending December 31, 2000 and $368,000,
thereafter. At June 30, 2000, the outstanding debt was $249,000, with interest
rates ranging from 6.4% to 8.5%, and will be payable through September 2002. 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, 2000, the Partnership recognized income of
$1,278,000 and expenses of $1,088,000, resulting in net income of $189,000. For
the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership recognized income of $1,029,000
and expenses of $750,000, resulting in net gain of $279,000.

Lease income increased by 29% from $806,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999,
to $1,045,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. During the six months ended
June 30, 2000, the Partnership did not expend any cash to acquire new leases.

Interest income increased from $944 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, to
$7,546 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. In addition, the Partnership
recognized a gain on sale of computer equipment of $225,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000.

The operating expenses, excluding depreciation, primarily consist of accounting,
legal and outside office services. The 13% decrease from approximately $121,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, to $104,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2000, is attributable to the accrual of accounting fees.

June 30, 2000.

flows from operating activities of $152,000, which includes a net decrease of
$77,000, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $427,000. Other noncash
