The Partnership Net Profits, Net Losses, and Tax Credits are to be allocated 99%
to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.

to the Limited Partners, 1% of Distributions of Cash from Operations to the
General Partner and 4% (3.25% after June 30, 1995) ( to an affiliate of the

7. Line of credit:
The Partnership participates with the General Partner and certain of its
Affiliates in a $77,500,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of financial
institutions which expires on July 28, 2001. The agreement includes an
acquisition facility and a warehouse facility which are used to provide bridge
financing for assets on leases. Draws on the acquisition facility by any
individual borrower are secured only by that borrower's assets, including
equipment and related leases. Borrowings on the warehouse facility are recourse
jointly to certain of the Affiliates, the Partnership and the General Partner.
At June 30, 2000, the Partnership had no borrowings under the line of credit.
The credit agreement includes certain financial covenants applicable to each
borrower. The Partnership was incompliance with its covenants as of June 30,
2000.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Capital Resources and Liquidity
During the first half of 2000, the Partnership's primary activity was engaging
in equipment leasing activities.
The liquidity of the Partnership will vary in the future, increasing to the
extent cash flows from leases exceed expenses, and decreasing as lease assets
are acquired, as distributions are made to the limited partners and to the
extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases.
As another source of liquidity, the Partnership has contractual obligations with
a diversified group of lessees for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts. As
the initial lease terms expire, the Partnership will re-lease or sell the
equipment. The future liquidity beyond the contractual minimum rentals will
depend on the General Partner's success in re-leasing or selling the equipment
as it comes off lease.
The Partnership participates with the General Partner and certain of its
affiliates in a $77,500,000 revolving line of credit with a group of financial
institutions. The line of credit expires on July 28, 2001.
The Partnership anticipates reinvesting a portion of lease payments from assets
owned in new leasing transactions. Such reinvestment will occur only after the
payment of all obligations, including debt service (both principal and
interest), the payment of management and acquisition fees to the General Partner
and providing for cash distributions to the Limited Partners.
The Partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet contingencies,
but in the event those reserves were found to be inadequate, the Partnership
would likely be in a position to borrow against its current portfolio to meet
such requirements. The General Partner envisions no such requirements for
operating purposes.
As of June 30, 2000, the Partnership had borrowed $100,521,405 with a remaining
unpaid balance of $35,496,235. The General Partner expects that aggregate
borrowings in the future will not exceed 50% of aggregate equipment cost. In any
event, the Agreement of Limited Partnership limits such borrowings to 50% of the
total cost of equipment, in aggregate.
No commitments of capital have been or are expected to be made other than for
the acquisition of additional equipment. There were no such commitments as of
June 30, 2000.
If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect the
Partnership inasmuch as the residual (resale) values and rates on re-leases of
the Partnership's leased assets may increase as the costs of similar assets
increase. However, the Partnership's revenues from existing leases would not
increase, as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without
adjustment for inflation.
If interest rates increase significantly, the lease rates that the Partnership
can obtain on future leases will be expected to increase as the cost of capital
is a significant factor in the pricing of lease financing. Leases already in
place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates.

<PAGE>
Cash Flows, 2000 vs. 1999:
Six months:
In 2000 and 1999, the Partnership's primary source of cash was rents from
operating leases. Cash provided by operations decreased by $5,122,979 (from
$17,101,364 in 1999 to $11,847,533 in 2000).
The only significant source of cash from investing activities in 2000 was
proceeds from sales of lease assets. Asset sales were particularly significant
in the first quarter of 2000. Most of the sales proceeds were used to pay off
the line of credit and to pay down the Partnership's non-recourse debt. Cash
flows from direct financing leases were not significant in either period.
In 2000, there were no sources of cash flows from financing activities. In 1999,
the only source of cash from financing activities was borrowings on the line of
credit. Payments of non-recourse debt have decreased as a result of scheduled
debt payments.
Three months:
Operating lease rents were the primary source of cash from operating activities
in 2000 and 1999.
As noted above for the six month period, proceeds from asset sales and direct
financing lease rents were the only sources of cash from investing activities in
2000 and 1999 and were not as significant as cash flows from operations.
There were no sources of cash from financing activities in 2000. Debt payments
have decreased for the same reasons noted above for the six month periods.
Results of operations
In 2000, operations resulted in net income of $3,918,916 (six months) and
$362,380 (three months). In 1999, operations resulted in net income of
$2,795,168 (six months) and $1,119,091 (three months). The Partnership's primary
source of revenues is from operating leases. This is expected to remain true in
future periods. Gains and losses on sales of lease assets are not expected to be
consistent from one period to another. Depreciation expense is the single
largest expense of the Partnership and is expected to remain so in future
periods. Operating lease rents decreased compared to 1999 due to sales of lease
assets over the last year. As Interest expense is related to the borrowings
under the line of credit and non-recourse debt and has decreased because of
decreased debt balances compared to 1999.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On December 31, 1997, Quaker Coal Company requested a moratorium on lease
payments from January through March 1998. No lease payments were made through
June of 1998. As a result, the General Partner declared the lease in default.
Subsequently, the lessee made the outstanding payments, however, the General
Partner refused to waive the default and insisted on additional damages in the
range of $1,428,000 to $1,743,000. The General Partner sued the lessee for
damages and is currently awaiting judgment from the court. The General Partner
believes that an adverse ruling would not have a material impact on the
operations of the Partnership. The amounts of these damages have not been
included in the financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

In January 2000, Applied Magnetics Corporation, a lessee of the Partnership,
filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy
Act. The Partnership has assets with a total net book value of $5,113,290 leased
to Applied Magnetics Corporation. On January 31, 2000, the General Partner was
appointed to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors. Procedures are under
way for the liquidation of the Partnership's leased equipment. Recoveries by the
Partnership, resulting from this default, are fairly certain in the range of 10%
to 20% due to the liquidation of the Partnership's equipment. Recoveries above
this amount are more uncertain; however, the Partnership anticipates an
additional 6% to 15% to be recoverable through the liquidation or reorganization
of the lessee's business. Any recoveries above these amounts are highly
uncertain and speculative. As of June 30, 2000, liquidation of the assets was
under way.
