                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                             (THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)


       NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Telmark Inc.
       ("Telmark"  or the  "Company")  have been  prepared  in  accordance  with
       generally   accepted   accounting   principles   for  interim   financial
       information  and with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q and  Article  10 of
       Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information
       and footnotes  required by generally accepted  accounting  principles for
       complete  financial  statements.  In  the  opinion  of  management,   all
       adjustments   (consisting  of  normal  recurring   accruals)   considered
       necessary for a fair presentation  have been included.  Operating results
       for the  three- and  nine-month  period  ended  March 31,  1996,  are not
       necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year
       ended June 30,  1996.  For further  information,  refer to the  financial
       statements  and notes thereto  included in the annual report on form 10-K
       for the year ended June 30, 1995.

       Certain  reclassifications have been made to conform prior year financial
       statements with the current year presentation.

       NOTE 2 - Notes Payable

       As of March 31,  1996,  the Company had two  separate  credit  facilities
       available from banks which allow the Company to borrow up to an aggregate
       of $204,000.  An uncommitted  short-term line of credit agreement permits
       the Company to borrow up to $4,000 on an  unsecured  basis with  interest
       paid upon  maturity.  The line bears  interest at money  market  variable
       rates.  A  committed  $200,000  unsecured  revolving  term loan  facility
       permits the Company to draw  short-term  funds bearing  interest at money
       market rates or draw long-term debt at rates  appropriate for the term of
       the note drawn.  The total amount  outstanding as of March 31, 1996 under
       the short term line of credit and the revolving term loan facility was $0
       and $112,000, respectively.

       Telmark  borrows under its  short-term  line of credit  agreement and its
       revolving  term  agreement  from  time to time  to fund  its  operations.
       Short-term  debt serves as interim  financing  between the  issuances  of
       long-term debt.  Telmark renews its lines of credit annually.  The $4,000
       line of credit has been  renewed  through  December  1996.  The  $200,000
       revolving term agreement loan facility is available  through  February 1,
       1997. The Company  believes it has sufficient lines of credit in place to
       meet interim funding needs.

      ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 (IN 000'S ROUNDED TO NEAREST HUNDRED THOUSAND)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------
Total  revenues for the third  quarter  increased  by $1,300  (12.3%) to $12,000
compared to the third quarter of the prior year, and increased by $5,200 (16.9%)
to $35,700  for the nine month  period  ended  March 31, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding  period in the prior year due to higher  investment  in leases and
notes and higher rates charged on new business.  The Company's net investment in
leases and notes  increased  by $8,500  (2.3%) in the third  quarter and $21,100
(6.1%) for the nine  months  ended March 31, 1996 to $369,600 as compared to the
corresponding periods in the prior year.

Total expenses increased $1,000 (13.3%) for the third quarter and $3,400 (14.2%)
for the nine month  period to date as compared to the  corresponding  periods in
the prior year. The increase in expenses is primarily  attributable to increases
in interest expense and selling, general and administrative  expenses.  Interest
expense  increased  $400  (8.9%)  for the third  quarter  compared  to the third
quarter of the prior  year and by $2,000  (15.3%)  for the nine month  period as
compared to the prior year.  The  Company's  higher  average  levels of interest
bearing debt compared to corresponding periods in the previous year and slightly
higher  interest rates on new and replacement  debt  outstanding are the primary
reasons for the increase in interest  expense for the nine month period compared
to the  corresponding  period in the  previous  year.  The  increase in interest
expense for the three months is partly offset by a larger  patronage refund from
a  cooperative  bank.  The refund was $900 in the third  quarter  compared  to a
refund of $600 in the third  quarter of the prior  year.  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  increased  $600 (27.5%) for the quarter and  increased
$1,600 (26.0%) for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding periods of the prior year. Principal increases for the nine months
are  attributable  to increased  advertising of $500 and the  additional  people
required to manage the larger portfolio, increasing salaries by $500.

The  provision for credit  losses  increased  $100 (4.6%) to $1,600 in the third
quarter and decreased  $200 (3.9%) to $4,600 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 as  compared  to the  corresponding  periods  during  the prior year due to
changes in  increases  to the size of the  portfolio  and  changes in  portfolio
currency.

Income from  operations for the third quarter was $3,200,  which was an increase
of $300 (9.8%) over the third quarter of the prior year, and $8,600 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996, which was an increase of $1,800 (26.3%) compared to
the same period in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------
The Company has principally financed its operations, including the growth of its
lease portfolio,  through borrowing under lines of credit, private placements of
debt with  institutional  investors,  sale of leases,  principal  collections on
leases,  sale of  debentures to the public,  and cash provided from  operations.
Sources of longer term financing include the following:

                                                                ==========
