     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-  and  six-month   period  ended  December  31,  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.

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

                    PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

           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 of $14,100 for the three  months and $27,500 for the  six-months
ended December 31, 1996 increased 16.2% and 15.9%, respectively,  as compared to
the  corresponding  period in the  prior  year.  The  Company's  net  investment
increased by $22,700 (5.8%) to $417,000 for the six-month  period ended December
31,  1996,  as compared to an  increase  of $12,700  (3.6%) to $361,100  for the
corresponding  period in the prior year.  Increased  revenues were the result of
higher  average net  investment  and higher  revenue rates  associated  with the
current period leases compared to the leases written in the corresponding  prior
periods.

Total expenses  increased $1,600 (17.8%) for the three months and $3,100 (16.7%)
for the  six-months  ended  December  31, 1996 as compared to the  corresponding
periods  in the prior  year.  The  increase  in  expenses  was  attributable  to
increased interest expense and selling, general and administrative expenses, and
provision for credit losses.  Interest expense for the three months increased by
$800 and $1,500 for the six months due to a larger  average net  investment  and
slightly higher interest rates on new and replacement debt. Selling, general and
administrative  expenses  increased $600 (24.6%) for the three months and $1,200
(24.5%) for the six-month period to date compared to the  corresponding  periods
of the prior year due primarily to additional  salaries and wages, and increases
in contract data processing,  travel and rent expenses. The provision for credit
losses increased by $200 for the three months and $300 for the six-months due to
an increase in the size of the lease portfolio.

Net income for the three months was $1,900,  an increase of $200 (9.0%) from the
corresponding  period in the prior year. For the  six-months  ended December 31,
1996, net income was $3,500,  an increase of $400 (11.9%) from the corresponding
period in the prior year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Company  has  financed  its  operations,  including  the growth of its lease
portfolio,  principally  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 $2,000 (22.7%) to $10,800 in the
first six months of fiscal 1997 compared to the first six months of fiscal 1996.
Cash used in  investing  activities  increased  $9,800  (72.4%) in the first six
months of 1997 due to  increased  lease  originations  of $19,200,  being partly
offset by a $9,400  increase in principal  repayments on leases in the first six
months of fiscal 1997 as compared to the first six months of the prior year. The
cash  utilized in investing  activities  was financed with net  borrowings  from
financing  activities of $12,700 for the current year compared to $4,800 for the
first six months of the previous year.

As of December 31, 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 December 31, 1996 under the short-term  line of credit and the
revolving term loan facility was $4,000 and $164,000, 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 31, 1997.  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.
