                                   (UNAUDITED)


     NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  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-month  period  ended  September  30,  1996  are not  necessarily
     indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ended June 30,
     1997. 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, 1996.



     NOTE 2 - IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

     In March  1995,  the FASB issued  Statement  No.  121,  Accounting  for the
     Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed
     Of,  which  requires  impairment  losses to be  measured  and  recorded  on
     long-lived  assets used in operations  when  indicators  of impairment  are
     present and the undiscounted  cash flows estimated to be generated by those
     assets  are less  than the  assets'  carrying  amount.  Statement  121 also
     addresses  the  accounting  for  long-lived  assets that are expected to be
     disposed of. The Company  adopted  Statement  121  effective  July 1, 1996,
     which had no effect on the Company's financial statements.

                    PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
                                  TELMARK INC.
           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 first quarter of fiscal 1997 of $13,300,  is an increase
of 15.5%  compared  to the  first  quarter  of the  prior  year.  The  Company's
investment  in net  leases and notes of  $385,500  increased  by $10,900  (2.9%)
during the three months ended  September 30, 1996.  The increased  revenues were
the result of a higher average net investment in leases during the first quarter
as compared to the first quarter of the previous year.

Total expenses  increased  $1,400 (15.6%) for the first quarter  compared to the
prior year.  Interest expense increased by $700 (13.3%) due to higher borrowings
to support the increased  investment in net leases and notes and higher interest
rates on debt in the first quarter as compared to the first quarter in the prior
year. Selling general and administrative  expenses increased $600 (24.5%) due to
additional expenses associated with the larger portfolio.

Net income was $1,600 in the first  quarter  as  compared  to $1,400  during the
first quarter of the previous year.  This represents an increase of $200 (15.5%)
and was due primarily to the larger size of lease portfolio in the current year.


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

Cash flows from  operating  activities  increased  $100  (1.3%) to $6,300 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Cash
used in  investing  activities  decreased  $800  (6.2%) to  $12,600 in the first
quarter of 1997 due to increased principal repayments on leases of $6,600, being
offset by a $5,800 increase in leases  originated in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 as compared to the first  quarter of the prior year.  The cash  utilized in
investing activities was financed principally with net borrowings from financing
activities  of $6,300  for the  current  year  compared  to $7,200 for the first
quarter of the previous year.

As of September 30, 1996, the Company had two separate lines of credit 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  partially
collateralized  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 September 30, 1996,  under the  short-term  line of credit and
the revolving term loan facility was $4,000 and $156,200, 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, 1998. The Company believes it has sufficient lines of credit
in place to meet interim funding needs.
