Page 5 of 12 PHOENIX LEASING GROWTH FUND 1982 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1. General. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Partnership in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the Partnership's Financial Statement, as filed with the SEC in the latest annual report on Form 10-K. Note 2. Reclassification. Reclassification - Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation. Note 3. Income Taxes. Federal and state income tax regulations provide that taxes on the income or loss of the Partnership are reportable by the partners in their individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for such taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Note 4. Net Income (Loss) and Distributions per Limited Partnership Unit. Net income and distributions per limited partnership unit were based on the limited partners' share of net income and distributions, and the weighted average number of units outstanding of 40,343 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. For purposes of allocating income (loss) and distributions to each individual limited partner, the Partnership allocates net income (loss) and distributions based upon each respective limited partner's ending capital account balance. The use of this method accurately reflects each limited partner's participation in the partnership including reinvestment through the Capital Accumulation Plan. As a result, the calculation of net income (loss) and distributions per limited partnership unit is not indicative of per unit income (loss) and distributions due to reinvestments through the Capital Accumulation Plan.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Phoenix Leasing Growth Fund 1982 (the Partnership) reported net income of $41,000 and $209,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to net income of $93,000 and $385,000 during the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in earnings is primarily attributable to a decrease in rental income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996. In addition to a decrease in rental income, the absence of interest income from notes receivable also contributed to the decline in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. Total revenues decreased by $55,000 and $157,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in total revenues is primarily due to a decrease in rental income and interest income from notes receivable. Rental income decreased by $12,000 and $152,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1995. Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was higher than usual due to the recognition of prepaid rent that had previously been recorded as a liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, it was determined that these payments were no longer a liability and the amount was subsequently recognized as rental income. An additional factor contributing to the increase in rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was the recognition of a mandatory purchase option which came due on one of the Partnership's leases. The decline in rental income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 is reflective of a reduction in the size of the equipment portfolio as a result of the ongoing liquidation of equipment. Because the Partnership is in its liquidation stage, it is not expected to acquire any additional equipment. As a result, rental revenues are expected to continue 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 of $668,000 compared to $1,207,000 at September 30, 1995. The Partnership received payoffs from its two remaining notes receivable from cable television system operators during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The Partnership's outstanding notes receivable had been in default and the Partnership had suspended the recognition of interest income on these notes. During the three months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership received a payoff of $141,000 of which $120,000 was applied towards the outstanding note receivable balance and the remaining $21,000 was recognized as interest income. The remaining allowance for this note of $7,000 was recognized as income. In addition, the remaining balance in the allowance for losses on notes receivable of $9,000 was also recognized as income during the three months ended September 30, 1995. In addition to the payoff previously discussed, the Partnership received a payoff from another defaulted note receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. For this payoff, the Partnership received a partial recovery of $56,000 which was applied towards the $87,000 outstanding note receivable balance. The remaining $31,000 was written-off through its related allowance. The related allowance for losses for this note receivable was provided for in a previous year in an amount equal to the carrying value of the note. Upon receipt of this payoff, the Partnership reduced the allowance for losses on notes receivable by $53,000. This reduction in the allowance was recognized as income during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Page 9 of 12 Total expenses decreased by $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 but increased by $19,000 compared to the same periods in 1995. During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership reduced its provision for losses on receivables, primarily from provision for losses on its notes receivable, which resulted in the recognition of income of $59,000. There were no such transactions during 1996. Most other expense items decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995. 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 released at lower rental rates and eventually liquidated. The increase in earnings from joint ventures of $36,000 and the increase in distributions from joint ventures of $71,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in the previous year, is primarily due to the sale of a cable system in one of the foreclosed cable systems joint ventures in which the Partnership has an interest. The decrease in earnings from joint ventures of $15,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 is attributable to a decline in revenues from several equipment joint ventures as a result of a majority of the equipment joint ventures being in the liquidation stage. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership reported net cash used by leasing and financing activities of $63,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to net cash provided by leasing and financing activities of $18,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase experienced during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was the result of two payoffs of notes receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership received cash distributions of $181,000 from foreclosed cable systems joint ventures, as compared to cash distributions of $8,000 from foreclosed cable systems joint ventures during the same period in 1995. This increase in distributions is attributable to the distribution of the sale proceeds from the sale of a cable television system owned by one of these joint ventures during the first quarter of 1996. In contrast, cash distributions from equipment and financing joint ventures decreased by $102,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in cash available. As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had equipment held for lease with a purchase price of $668,000 and a net book value of $0 compared to $986,000 and $0 at September 30, 1995. The General Partner is actively engaged, on behalf of the Partnership, in remarketing and selling the Partnership's off-lease equipment portfolio. Page 10 of 12 The Limited Partners received cash distributions of $807,000 and $1,223,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As a result, the cumulative cash distributions to the Limited Partners are $38,467,000 and $37,660,000 as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The General Partner did not receive cash distributions for the periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. Distributions to partners are being made annually on January 15. The distribution amount to be distributed on January 15, 1997 is anticipated to be lower than the January 15, 1996 distribution. Cash generated from leasing and financing operations has been and is anticipated to continue to be sufficient to meet the Partnership's continuing operational expenses.
