Note 2. Reclassification.
Reclassification - Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the 1996 presentation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Results of Operations
Phoenix Leasing Income Fund 1977 (the Partnership) reported a net loss of
$13,000 and $80,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, as
compared to net income of $32,000 and $138,000 during the same period in 1995.
The decreased earnings during 1996 is attributable to the decrease in total
revenues combined with an increase in total expenses.
Total revenues decreased by $37,000 and $184,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995. During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership received
payment for the settlement of two outstanding notes receivable from cable
television system operators that had been in default and the Partnership had
suspended the accrual of interest income. The amount received in excess of the
net carrying value of the note has been recognized as interest income. There
were no such payments during 1996.
Rental income decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996, primarily as a result of the majority of the remaining equipment lease
portfolio being off lease. Because the Partnership is in its liquidation stage,
it is not expected that the Partnership will acquire additional equipment. As a
result, revenues from equipment leasing activities are expected to decline as
the portfolio is liquidated and the remaining equipment is re-leased at lower
rental rates. At September 30, 1996, the Partnership owned equipment with an
aggregate original cost, excluding the Partnership's pro rata interest in joint
ventures, of $47,000, as compared to $96,000 at September 30, 1995.
Total expenses increased by $8,000 and $34,000 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1995.
The increase is due to an increase in legal expense, which is primarily the
result of one remaining outstanding note receivable from a cable television
system operator that is in default.
Joint Ventures
The Partnership has made investments in various equipment and financing joint
ventures along with other affiliated partnerships managed by the General Partner
for the purpose of spreading the risk of investing in certain equipment leasing
and financing transactions. These joint ventures are not currently making any
significant additional investments in new equipment leasing or financing
transactions. As a result, the earnings and cash flow from such investments are
anticipated to continue to decline as the portfolios are re-leased at lower
rental rates and eventually liquidated. Earnings from joint ventures decreased
by $4,000 and $6,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
as compared to the same periods in 1995.
Page 9 of 11
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary source of liquidity comes from rental and note
receipts. The Partnership has contractual obligations from lessees and borrowers
for fixed terms at stated amounts. The Partnership also has investments in
equipment leasing and financing joint ventures in which it receives a share of
the profits. The future liquidity of the Partnership will depend upon the
General Partner's success in collecting contractual amounts owed.
The Partnership reported net cash used by leasing and financing activities of
$111,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the net
cash provided by leasing and financing activities of $577,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. This decrease is due to the majority of the
Partnership's assets having been liquidated. The cash flow was higher during
1995 due to the payoff of a note receivable from a cable television system
operator that had been in default. At September 30, 1996, the Partnership has
one remaining note receivable from a cable television system operator that is in
default and is not currently providing any cash flows to the Partnership.
Distributions from joint ventures declined for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. Distributions from
joint ventures consisted primarily of cash received from the Partnership's
investments in equipment joint ventures during both years.
The Limited Partners received $164,000 in cash distributions during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. As a result, the cumulative cash
distributions to the Limited Partners are $28,604,000 and $28,121,000 as of
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The General Partner did not receive
cash distributions, but did receive payment of liquidation fees of $22,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. Due to the decrease in
the cash generated by leasing operations, the Partnership is no longer making
quarterly cash distributions to Partners. Distributions are now being made on an
annual basis with the annual distribution date being January 15. The next
distributions to partners will be made on January 15, 1997 and will be
approximately the same amount as the January 1996 distribution.
Cash generated from leasing and financing operations has been and is
anticipated to continue to be sufficient to meet the Partnership's on-going
operational expenses.
