1.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been  prepared in
     accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for  interim
     financial  information and the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
     Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
     disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual

     adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments)  considered
     necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The balance sheet at
     December 31, 1996 has been derived  from the audited  financial  statements

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations, continued

Results of Operations, continued
- ---------------------

LEASING MARGIN, continued

All  components of leasing margin  increased due to growth in the  Partnership's
lease portfolio.  Leasing margin ratio increased  primarily because a portion of
the  Partnership's   portfolio   consists  of  operating  leases  financed  with
non-recourse   debt  (including  both  discounted  lease  rentals  and  financed
operating  lease  rentals).  Leasing margin and the related leasing margin ratio
for an operating lease financed with non-recourse debt increases during the term
of the lease since rents and  depreciation  are typically  fixed while  interest
expense declines as the related non-recourse debt is repaid.

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).

EQUIPMENT SALES MARGIN

Equipment sales margin consists of the following:

                                                       Three months ended

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income  decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to
the corresponding period in 1996, due to a decrease in invested cash. During the
three months ended March 31, 1996, the  Partnership  was in its offering  period
and as such,  invested cash was generally  higher pending purchase of additional
equipment.

EXPENSES

Management fees increased due to growth in the  Partnership's  lease  portfolio.
General and administrative  expenses decreased primarily due to lower legal fees
associated with bankrupt lessees.

Results of Operations, continued
- ---------------------

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.

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

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.  Available cash and cash reserves of the  Partnership  are
invested  in  short-term   government  securities  pending  the  acquisition  of
equipment or distribution to the partners.

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership acquired equipment
subject to leases with a total equipment purchase price of $39,904. At March 31,
1997, the general  partner had identified  approximately  $600,000 of additional
equipment that satisfied the Partnership's acquisition criteria. The Partnership
expects to acquire this equipment during the remainder of 1997.

During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997,  the  Partnership  declared
distributions  to the partners of $1,329,727  ($444,510 of which was paid during
April  1997).  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
for accounting purposes. 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.

The general partner believes that the Partnership will generate  sufficient cash
flows  from  operations  during  the  remainder  of 1997,  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 March 31, 1997.
