LEASING MARGIN, continued

All  components of leasing margin  increased due to growth in the  Partnership's
lease portfolio.

The ultimate rate of return on leases depends,  in part, on the general level of
interest  rates at the time the leases  are  originated.  Because  leasing is an
alternative to financing equipment purchases with debt, lease rates tend to rise
and fall with  interest  rates  (although  lease rate  movements  generally  lag
interest rate changes in the capital  markets).  Interest rates have  fluctuated
over the past several years as follows:  (i) rates decreased from 1990 until the
early part of 1994,  (ii) rates then  increased  through the early part of 1995,
and (iii)  rates have  decreased  to the  present  time.  It is unclear  whether
interest rates will continue to decrease, and what effect, if any, such interest
rate decreases will have on lease rates.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES

The  remarketing  of  equipment  for an amount  greater  than its book  value is
reported as equipment  sales margin (if the equipment is sold) or leasing margin
(if the equipment is re-leased). The realization of less than the carrying value
of equipment (which is typically not known until  remarketing  subsequent to the
initial lease termination has occurred) is recorded as provision for losses.

Residual values are established equal to the estimated value to be received from
the equipment following termination of the lease. In estimating such values, the
Partnership considers all relevant facts regarding the equipment and the lessee,
including,  for  example,  the  likelihood  that the lessee  will  re-lease  the
equipment.  The nature of the  Partnership's  leasing  activities is that it has
credit  exposure and residual value exposure and,  accordingly,  in the ordinary
course of business,  it will incur losses from those exposures.  The Partnership
performs  on-going   quarterly   assessments  of  its  assets  to  identify  any
other-than-temporary losses in value.

No  provisions  for  losses  were  recorded  during the first six months of 1996
because no other-than-temporary losses in the value of equipment were identified
in the quarterly assessments of the Partnership's assets.

The Partnership  settled its bankruptcy  litigation with Grand Palais Riverboat,
Inc. (see discussion  immediately  below) effective June 8, 1996. The settlement
agreement  provides  for the full  recovery of the cost of the  equipment  under
lease,  as well as legal fees,  plus interest.  The Partnership has not reversed
the $100,000  reserve for this  litigation  recorded during 1995.  Instead,  the
Partnership  has included the $100,000 in an allowance for losses  maintained to
provide for any future other-than-temporary declines in asset values.

The provision for losses  recorded during the six months ended June 30, 1995 was
related to Grand Palais  Riverboat,  Inc. (see discussion  above), a lessee that
defaulted  under its lease  agreement with the  Partnership by failing to make a
lease  payment due on June 1, 1995 and then  declared  Chapter 11  bankruptcy in
July 1995.  A provision  for loss of  $100,000  was  recorded  during the second
quarter of 1995.


Liquidity & Capital Resources
- - -----------------------------

The Partnership  intended to continue offering Class A limited partner units for
sale and admitting  additional  Class A limited partners through April 15, 1996,
or until $50 million in units have been sold. The  Partnership  reached its goal
of $50 million in unit sales on April 10, 1996.

- - -----------------------------

The Partnership funds its operating activities principally with cash from rents,
discounted lease rentals  (non-recourse  debt),  interest  income,  and sales of
off-lease  equipment.  Cash available for purchases of equipment under lease and
cash  reserves  of  the  Partnership  are  invested  in  short-term   government
securities pending the acquisition of equipment or distribution to the partners.

The Partnership purchased equipment under lease during the six months ended June
30, 1996 with a total  acquisition  cost of $23,366,035.  All such equipment was
purchased from Capital  Associates  International,  Inc.  ("CAII"),  the Class B
limited  partner and an affiliate of the general  partner.  As of June 30, 1996,
the general  partner had  identified  $3.4 million of additional  equipment that
satisfied the Partnership's acquisition criteria that is expected to be acquired
during the balance of 1996.

During June 1995,  CAII and the  Partnership  entered into an  agreement  with a
lender to debt finance up to $50 million of lease receivables as part of a lease
securitization   program.  Under  this  program,  the  Partnership's   financing
obligations are collateralized by the leased equipment and related rentals,  and
the Partnership  has no recourse  liability to the lender for repayment of debt.
In addition, this securitized debt vehicle provides an attractive interest rate.
Aggregate closings through June 30, 1996 were $10.2 million for the Partnership.

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,   the   Partnership   declared
distributions  to the partners of $2,491,358  ($445,790 of which was paid during
July  1996).  A  substantial  portion  of  such  distributions  is  expected  to
constitute  a return of capital.  Distributions  may be  characterized  for tax,
accounting and economic purposes as a return of capital,  a return on capital or
a portion of both. The portion of each cash  distribution by a partnership which
exceeds its net income for the fiscal  period may be deemed a return of capital.
However, the total percentage of a partnership's return on capital over its life
will only be determined  after all residual cash flows (which  include  proceeds
from the re-leasing and sale of equipment) have been realized at the termination
of the Partnership. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, approximately 57% of
the cash  distributions  to the  partners  constituted  a return of capital  for
accounting purposes.  This percentage may not be reflective of the percentage of
distributions  that  constitutes a return of capital at any subsequent  point in
time.

The general partner believes that the Partnership will generate  sufficient cash
flows from operations during 1996, to (1) meet current  operating  requirements,
(2) enable it to fund cash distributions to both the Class A and Class B limited
partners  at  annualized  rates  of 10.5%  (substantial  portions  of which  are
expected to constitute returns of capital), on their capital contributions,  and
(3) reinvest in  additional  equipment  under  leases,  provided  that  suitable
equipment can be identified and acquired.

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

           The Partnership is involved in routine legal  proceedings  incidental
           to the conduct of its business.  The general partner believes none of
           these legal  proceedings  will have a material  adverse effect on the
           financial condition or operations of the Partnership.


Item 6.    Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

           (a)  None.

           (b) The  Partnership  did not file any reports on Form 8-K during the
               quarter ended June 30, 1996.
