               This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Class A
Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Presidio Capital Corp.
(the  "Issuer").  This Amendment No. 2 amends the initial  statement on Schedule
13D dated April 9, 1997 and the  Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D dated April 29,
1997 (the  "Initial  Statement")  filed by the  Reporting  Persons  (as  defined
herein).  This Amendment No. 2 is being filed by the Reporting  Persons to amend
and/or  supplement  certain  information  contained  in the  Initial  Statement.
Capitalized  terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings  ascribed
to them in the Initial Statement.  The Schedule 13D is supplementally amended as
follows:

Item 4.             Purpose of the Transaction.
- ------              --------------------------

               Item 4 of the  Schedule  13D as  previously  filed is  amended to
include the following supplemental information:

               In a  memorandum  dated August 20, 1997 (the  "Notice"),  Angelo,
Gordon and M.H.  Davidson & Co.  have  notified  the Board of  Directors  of the
Issuer that they,  together  with their  respective  managed funds and accounts,
wish to elect  Jeffrey H. Aronson (who is  affiliated  with Angelo,  Gordon) and
Thomas L. Kempner (who is affiliated with M.H. Davidson & Co.) as members of the
Board of  Directors  of the Issuer  pursuant  to the rights  granted to minority
shareholders  of the Issuer by Article 79A of the Articles of Association of the
Issuer.  The Reporting  Persons  believe that the signatories to the Notice have
voting  power over an  aggregate  amount of Shares  sufficient  to result in the
election of Mr. Aronson and Mr. Kempner.

               Except  as  set  forth  above  and  in  Item  4 of  the  Intitial
Statement,  the Reporting  Persons have no plans or proposals  that relate to or
would result in any of the matters  described in  paragraphs  (a) through (j) of
the disclosure  instructions  to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting  Persons,
however,  may,  at any time and from  time to time,  and  reserve  the right to,
acquire additional  securities of the Issuer,  dispose of any such securities of
the Issuer or  formulate  other plans or proposals  regarding  the Issuer or its
securities,  to the extent deemed advisable by the Reporting Persons in light of
their general investment policies, market conditions or other factors.

Item 6.             Contracts,  Arrangements,  Understandings  or  Relationships
- ------              ------------------------------------------------------------
                    with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
                    ----------------------------------------

               Reference is made to Item 4 hereof (which is incorporated  herein
by reference) for information concerning the Notice.

Memorandum to the Board of Directors of Presidio Capital Corp. ("PCC")



               This  letter is sent to you on behalf  of  Angelo,  Gordon & Co.,
L.P.  ("Angelo,  Gordon")  and MH Davidson & Company ("MH  Davidson")  and their
respective managed funds and accounts, beneficial owners of more than a majority
of all the shares of PCC not held by Control Parties.

               As you are aware,  pursuant to Article 79A of the  Memorandum  of
Association (the "Memorandum") of PCC, "so long as at least 15% of all shares of
the Company are beneficially  owned by persons who are not Control  Parties,  at
least two  directors  shall at all times be elected  by, and  subject to removal
only by, a majority vote of such persons."

               We  understand  that  pursuant to a letter,  dated July 29, 1997,
