                                     Part I
Item 1.  Business.

Wellesley  Lease  Income  Limited  Partnership  III-D (the  "Partnership")  is a
limited partnership  organized under the provisions of the Massachusetts Uniform
Limited  Partnership  Act on December  18, 1984.  As of December  31, 1995,  the
Partnership  consisted of a General  Partner and 1,978 Limited  Partners  owning
20,185 Units of Limited Partnership Interests of $500 each (the "Units"), except
that  employees of the  Corporate  General  Partners of the General  Partner and
employees and securities  representatives of its affiliates  purchased 334 Units
for a net price of $460 per Unit, and the Partnership  incurred no obligation to
pay any sales  commissions  with  respect  to such  sales.  The Units  were sold
commencing  March 19,  1985,  pursuant to a  Registration  Statement on Form S-1
under the Securities Act of 1933. As set forth more fully at Item 10.  Directors
and Executive  Officers of the Partnership.  of this report, the General Partner
is Wellesley  Leasing  Partnership,  and the General Partner has three Corporate
General Partners (the "Corporate General Partners"):  TLP Leasing Programs, Inc.
("TLP") and CIS Management Services  Corporation  ("CISMS"),  both Massachusetts
corporations  and Waddell & Reed  Financial  Services,  Inc.  ("Waddell & Reed",
formerly TUP Services, Inc., "TUPS"), a Missouri corporation.

The   Partnership   was  organized  to  engage  in  the  business  of  acquiring
income-producing   computer  peripheral   equipment  for  investment   purposes,
principally International Business Machines, Incorporated ("IBM") equipment. The
Partnership's principal objectives are as follows:

1. To acquire  and lease  equipment,  primarily  through  operating  leases,  to
   generate income during its entire useful life;

2. To provide  quarterly  distributions  of cash to the  Limited  Partners  from
   leasing  revenues  and  from the  proceeds  of  sales  or  other  disposition
   of Partnership equipment; and

3. To reinvest a portion of lease  revenues  and a  substantial  portion of cash
   from sales and refinancings in additional  equipment during  the  first  nine
   years of the Partnership's operations.

The Partnership was formed  primarily for investment  purposes and not as a "tax
shelter".

The Partnership shall terminate on December 31, 2012, unless sooner dissolved or
terminated  as  provided  in  Section  11 of the  Amended  Agreement  of Limited
Partnership.

The closing date of the Partnership was April 25, 1986, and aggregate  equipment
purchased  through December 31, 1995, is $29,439,217.  At the end of 1995, there
are 41 leases in place with 22  lessees.  The  acquisition  of these  leases and
equipment  is  described  more fully in Item 2.  Properties.  of this report and
notes 3 and 4 to the financial statements included in Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

On January 9, 1996,  TLP Holding LLC  purchased all the common stock of TLP from
CMI Holding Co.  Under the new  ownership,  TLP will  continue to operate in the
same manner of business as described below.

Under  the  Partnership  Agreement,  the  General  Partner,   Wellesley  Leasing
Partnership,  is solely responsible for the operation of the Partnership and its
equipment.  As discussed above, the General Partner has three Corporate  General
Partners:  TLP, CISMS and Waddell & Reed. TLP was formed in December 1982 and is
a wholly-owned  subsidiary of CMI Holding Co. ("Holding"),  the capital stock of
which was acquired in August 1987 by Continental Information Systems Corporation
("CISC"), in Syracuse, New York (a New York Stock Exchange-listed  corporation).
Through this  acquisition,  CISC became the ultimate parent of TLP and CISMS. On
July 20, 1993,  Holding  became a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of CIS pursuant to a
court ordered  settlement  (see note 8 to the financial  statements  included in
Item 8. Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data).  While Holding and its
subsidiaries  have  retained  their  separate  corporate  identities  since  the
acquisition,  their operations (except those of TLP and the limited partnerships
it  manages)  have been  effectively  integrated  into those of CIS  Corporation
("CIS") and its affiliates. These operations include buying, selling, financing,
leasing,  and  sub-leasing new and used computer  equipment,  and their services
include  securing,  financing,  collecting  rentals,  and supervising  equipment
maintenance  and service.  CISMS was formed in May 1985,  and is a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of CMI Corporation ("CMI"), which is another wholly-owned  subsidiary
of  Holding  and an  affiliate  of TLP.  CMI is engaged  in  equipment  leasing,
primarily  involving  computer  equipment  and  aircraft.  Waddell & Reed,  Inc.
(formerly  TUPS) was formed in May 1986 and is an  affiliate  of Waddell & Reed,
Inc., which was one of the Soliciting Brokers for this offering.  Both Waddell &
Reed and Waddell & Reed, Inc. are wholly-owned  subsidiaries of TMK/United Inc.,
which  itself is an  indirect  85% owned  subsidiary  of  Torchmark  Corporation
("Torchmark").

The  General   Partnership   Agreement  between  TLP  and  CISMS  (the  "General
Partnership  Agreement"),  provides  that CISMS will propose to the  Partnership
equipment acquisitions,  leasing, financing and re-financing  transactions,  and
sale transactions, for approval by the Executive Committee, and will oversee the
operation,  management and use of the Partnership's equipment, and that TLP will
oversee  the  marketing  of the Units and all  administrative  functions  of the
Partnership and, together with Waddell & Reed, will supply  substantially all of
the General Partner's capital resources.  All of the Partnership's  equipment to
date has been acquired,  and all dispositions of Partnership equipment have been
made,  through  CISMS,  using  the  personnel  and  resources  of  CMI,  another
Continental affiliate, both of which emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of
the United  States  Bankruptcy  Code on December 21, 1994,  and several  outside
equipment lease brokers the General Partner believes would be most  advantageous
for the Partnership;  see note 8 Item 8. Financial  Statements and Supplementary
Data. of this report.

The Partnership's  investment policy provides for the acquisition of diversified
types of computer  equipment  and the leasing of such  equipment  to others on a
short-term basis under operating  leases.  The Partnership  generally  purchases
equipment  for  which a lease  exists,  or is  entered  into at the  time of the
Partnership's  acquisition  of the  equipment.  This  equipment  is recorded and
depreciated at the Partnership  cost (purchase price plus the acquisition  fee).
If at any time the General Partner deems the equipment to be obsolete or related
maintenance  and  storage  costs to be in excess of its fair market  value,  the
equipment  is scrapped or sold at the current fair market  value,  which ever is
most advantageous for the Partnership.

Pursuant to its leasing policies, the General Partner performs a credit analysis
of potential  lessees to determine their  creditworthiness.  The General Partner
leases all of its equipment to third  parties by means of operating  leases with
fixed base lease rates. Rents are payable monthly or quarterly. Operating leases
generally  do not  have  terms  greater  than  five  years in  duration  and the
aggregate  noncancelable  rental payments during the term of the lease (on a net
present  value  basis),  are not  sufficient to permit the lessor to recover the
purchase price of the equipment.

At the termination of the lease,  the General Partner arranges for the equipment
to be  re-leased  (either to the same lessee or a new  lessee) if it  determines
that re-leasing is in the Partnership's best interests.  Generally, equipment is
re-leased at least once and  possibly  several  times  during the  Partnership's
life, unless it is determined that the equipment is not marketable and therefore
may be sold. The General  Partner  provides,  or arranges for the  installation,
removal,  maintenance and modification of the Partnership's equipment. Also, the
General  Partner  will  purchase  and  maintain,  or cause to be  purchased  and
maintained,  appropriate  insurance  coverage  to protect the  interests  of the
Partnership.






Of the leases in place at December  31,  1995,  the  Partnership  owned  various
computer equipment with an original cost basis of $7,636,323.  Listed below is a
breakdown of the various types of computer equipment owned:

                Computer peripherals                         $     2,978,166
                Processors & upgrades                              3,207,256
                Other                                              1,450,901
                                                             ---------------

                                                             $     7,636,323
                                                             ===============

Of the leases in place at December 31, 1995, the average lease term is 32 months
and the average monthly lease rate as a percentage of original equipment cost is
2.85%.

The  Partnership's  investments  in computer  peripheral  equipment are and will
continue to be subject to various risk  factors.  The  principal  business  risk
associated  with  ownership of the  equipment is the  inability to keep it fully
leased at rentals which, after payment of operating expenses and debt service on
Partnership borrowings, provide, together with any anticipated sales proceeds or
salvage value, an acceptable rate of return. Other risk factors include:

1.       Technological   and   economic   equipment   obsolescence,     physical
         deterioration,   malfunction, and  risks  attendant  upon  defaults  by
         lessees and credit losses.

2.       Residual  Values  of  Equipment.   The  Partnership's   return  on  its
         investment in equipment will depend in part upon the  continuing  value
         of such equipment which in turn,  depends upon, among other things: (1)
         the quality of the equipment;  (2) the condition of the equipment;  (3)
         the timing of the equipment's  acquisition;  (4) the cost of comparable
         new equipment; (5) the technological obsolescence of the equipment; (6)
         the General Partner's ability to forecast  technological  changes which
         may reduce the value of the equipment; and (7) market factors.

3.       Competition  from Full Payout  Lessors.  In connection  with  operating
         leases,  the Partnership will encounter  considerable  competition from
         those offering full payout leases,  which are written for a longer term
         and a lower rate than the Partnership's operating leases.

4.       Competition from Manufacturers.  Leases offered by the Partnership will
         compete  with  operating  leases  and full  payout  leases  offered  by
         equipment  manufacturers  in their own lease  programs.  In addition to
         attractive  financial  terms,  manufacturers  may also provide  certain
         ancillary services which the Partnership cannot offer directly, such as
         maintenance service (including possible equipment substitution rights),
         warranty services and trade-in privileges.

5.       Other  Competition.  There  are  numerous  other  potential  investors,
         including limited  partnerships  organized and managed similarly to the
         Partnership,  seeking to purchase equipment subject to either operating
         leases or full payout leases, many of which will have greater financial
         resources than the  Partnership  and more  experience  than the General
         Partner.   The  Partnership   will  compete  in  the  computer  leasing
         marketplace  with  many   non-manufacturing   firms,   including  other
         equipment  dealers,  brokers  and  leasing  companies,  as well as with
         financial institutions.

6.       Changes  in  Marketing  Policies.  IBM's  current  marketing  policy of
         offering accrual discounts (i.e., applying lease payments  as a  credit
         toward the purchase of equipment) and volume discounts enables  certain
         customers to obtain IBM equipment  at a cost lower than its fair market
         value.  In  the case of accrual  discounts,  lessees  of IBM  equipment
         who  have earned a purchase credit toward that  equipment  can purchase
         the equipment from IBM and arrange a cost-effective  sale and leaseback
         arrangement  with  CMI  or  the  Partnership.  The  sale  price  to the
         Partnership will typically  be  less than the  fair market value of the
         equipment.  The  Partnership  may  be  able  to  participate in  volume
         discounts  through   purchases  arranged  by   lessees  of   CMI.   The
         Partnership's  lower  equipment  costs  in   turn  should  enable   the
         Partnership to offer lower lease rates to customers and help offset the
         risk of early  obsolescence.  If IBM were to eliminate these  policies,
         raise  its prices,  lower its lease rates,  or become more active  as a
         lessor,  the  Partnership  might  find it more  difficult to    compete
         successfully as a lessor of IBM equipment.

7.       Defaults  by  Lessees.  Default  by a lessee may cause  equipment to be
         returned  to the  Partnership  at a time when the General  Partner  may
         be unable to  promptly  arrange for its  re-leasing (at the rental rate
         previously  received  or  otherwise)  or sale (with or without a loss),
         thus  resulting in the loss of  anticipated revenues  and the inability
         to recover the  Partnership's  investment  and repay related debt.  Any
         related debt may be secured by the returned  equipment   and,  in  some
         cases, by the Partnership's  other  equipment.  If the debt is not paid
         in a timely  manner,  the lender may  foreclose  and  assume  ownership
         of  all  equipment  securing  the  debt,  resulting  in  economic  loss
         and  adverse  tax  consequences  to  the Partnership's  partners. Three
         lessees,  Halliburton  Company,  Incorporated,  New York Life Insurance
         Company  and  ON  Technology  Corporation,  lease  equipment  in excess
         of 10% of total  rental  income  for the year  ended December 31, 1995.
         The  related  rental  payments  comprise  14.48%,  11.53%  and  11.39%,
         respectively,  of the total rental  income for the year ended  December
         31, 1995.  Halliburton  Company,  Incorporated, New York Life Insurance
         Company  and  ON  Technology  Corporation  lease  equipment  comprising
         11.42%,  15.45%  and   10.19%,  respectively  of  the  total  equipment
         portfolio at December 31, 1995.

8.       Changes in Technology. The General Partner intends to offer lease rates
         to the  Partnership's  lessees  which  take  into  account  the risk of
         technological  advances  which may reduce  the value of such  equipment
         owned by the Partnership.  However, the introduction of an entirely new
         technology  could lead to a radical  reduction in the fair market value
         of certain equipment and make such equipment difficult to re-lease.

The Partnership considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment, the
business of investing primarily in IBM computer peripheral equipment and leasing
the equipment to major national  corporations on an operating  lease basis,  and
therefore, industry segment information has not been provided.

For  information  regarding  the  settlements  between the  Partnership  and the
Liquidating Estate of CIS Corporation,  et al, arising out of the emergence from
bankruptcy of CIS and CMI, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings.







Item 2.  Properties.

At  December  31,  1995,  the  Partnership  owned  computer   equipment  with  a
depreciated  cost basis of  $2,364,039,  subject to 41  existing  leases with 22
different lessees,  and equipment held in inventory,  awaiting re-lease or sale,
with depreciated cost basis of $249,317. All purchases of computer equipment are
subject to a 3% acquisition fee paid to the General Partner.





Item 3. Legal Proceedings:

There are no material pending legal  proceedings that the Partnership is a party
or of which any of its  equipment or leases is the subject,  except as described
below and in note 8 to the  financial  statements  herein  in Item 8.  Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data.

On January 13,  1989 (the  "Petition  Date"),  Continental  Information  Systems
Corporation   ("Continental"),   CIS  Corporation   ("CIS"),   CMI  Holding  Co.
("Holding"),   CMI   Corporation   ("CMI")   and   certain  of  its   affiliates
(collectively,  the "Debtors"),  voluntarily petitioned for relief under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"), and thereafter continued
in the management  and operation of their  businesses and property as Debtors In
Possession until October 25, 1989, when the United States  Bankruptcy Court (the
"Court")  confirmed  the  appointment  of James P. Hassett as Chapter 11 trustee
(the  "Trustee")  of the  Debtors.  Holding  is the parent of TLP and CMI is the
parent of CISMS. TLP and CISMS, neither of which filed under Chapter 11, are the
two Corporate  General Partners of Wellesley  Leasing  Partnership,  the General
Partner of the Partnership. Both before and after the Petition Date, CIS and CMI
have acted as agents for the  Partnership  in selling,  leasing and  remarketing
Partnership equipment.  Holding became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIS pursuant
to a Court ordered settlement on July 20, 1993.

On January 9, 1996,  TLP Holding LLC  purchased all the common stock of TLP from
Holding.  Under the new  ownership,  it is  expected  that TLP will  continue to
operate in the same manner of business as it has in the past.

As of the Petition Date, there were a number of unsettled  transactions  between
CIS  and  CMI  and  the  Partnership  and  other  affiliated  partnerships  (the
Partnership and such other partnerships are herein  collectively  referred to as
the  "Partnerships"),  including  outstanding  accounts  receivable and accounts
payable between each of the Partnerships  and CIS and CMI and their  affiliates,
sales  of  equipment  and  related  leases  from  CIS  and  CMI to  each  of the
Partnerships  for  which  not all  documentation  had been  completed  as of the
Petition  Date,  and sales of  equipment  and related  leases from which CIS had
failed to remove prior third-party liens. In addition,  accounts  receivable and
accounts  payable   continued  to  accrue  and  be  paid  between  each  of  the
Partnerships  and CIS and CMI and their  affiliates  subsequent  to the Petition
Date.

On February 28, 1992,  the Court granted an order  implementing  a settlement of
the outstanding  issues between each of the  Partnerships  and the Debtors.  The
settlement occurred on March 13, 1992. In the order the Court approved a set-off
on a  partnership-by-partnership  basis  of  pre-petition  amounts  owed by each
affected Debtor to each  Partnership to the extent of pre-petition  amounts owed
by that  Partnership to that Debtor.  The  Partnership was a net creditor to the
Debtors and paid in full its amounts owing them.

On November 29, 1994, the Court  confirmed the Trustee's  proposed Joint Plan of
Reorganization  dated October 4, 1994,  and the Debtors  emerged from Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on December 21, 1994.






Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

None.





Item 5. Market for the  Partnership's  Securities  and Related  Security  Holder
        Matters.

(a)  Market Information

The  Partnership's   outstanding   securities  consist  of  Limited  Partnership
Interests in Units of $500 each. As of December 31, 1995,  20,185 Units had been
sold to the public at a price of $500 per Unit  (except for 334 Units which were
sold for a net  price of $460 per Unit to  employees  of the  Corporate  General
Partners of the General Partner and employees and securities  representatives of
its affiliates).

There is no public market for the Units,  and it is not anticipated  that such a
public market will develop.

(b)  Approximate Number of Security Holders



                                      Number of Unit                              Number of Units

(c)  Dividend History and Restrictions

During the fiscal period ended December 31, 1986 the  Partnership  completed its
offering  of 20,185  Units.  Pursuant  to Section 8 of the  Limited  Partnership
Agreement, the Partnership's  "Distributable Cash From Operations" for each year
will be determined and then  distributed to the Partners.  Upon reaching the end
of its reinvestment  period (the ninth anniversary of the Partnership's  closing
date), the Partnership will also distribute to the Partners  "Distributable Cash
From Sales or  Refinancings",  if any.  The  Partnership  distributed  $908,326,
$1,009,251  and  $1,009,250  to the Limited  Partners and  $47,808,  $53,120 and
$53,120  to the  General  Partners  in 1995,  1994 and 1993,  respectively.  The
cumulative cash distributions to the Limited Partners through December 31, 1995,
are $10,163,151 as compared with the contributed  Limited  Partners' net capital
of $8,987,039.

"Cash From  Operations" and "Cash From Sales or Refinancing"  means the net cash
provided by the  Partnership's  normal  operations  or as a result of any sales,
refinancings or other dispositions of equipment, respectively, after the general
expenses and current  liabilities of the  Partnership  (other than the equipment
management  fee) are paid,  as reduced by any reserves  for working  capital and
contingent  liabilities to the extent deemed  reasonable by the General Partner,
and as  increased  by any  portion of such  reserves  then deemed by the General
Partner not to be required for Partnership operations.  "Distributable Cash From
Operations" and "Distributable  Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From
Operations or Cash From Sales or Refinancings,  respectively, reduced by amounts
which the General  Partner  determines  shall be  reinvested  (through the ninth
anniversary of the  Partnership's  closing date) in additional  Equipment and by
payments of all accrued but unpaid equipment management fees.

For  rendering  services  in  connection  with  the  normal  operations  of  the
Partnership,  the  Partnership  will pay to the  General  Partner a  Partnership
management fee equal to 7% of the monthly rental billings collected.

Each  distribution of Distributable  Cash From Operations and any  Distributable
Cash From Sales or Refinancings from gains of the Partnership shall be allocated
95% to the Limited Partners and 5% to the General Partner. Any losses from sales
or refinancings of equipment shall be allocated 99% to the Limited  Partners and
1% to the General  Partner until "Payout" has occurred.  "Payout" means the time
when the  aggregate  amount of all  distributions  to the  Limited  Partners  of
Distributable  Cash From  Operations  and of  Distributable  Cash From  Sales or
Refinancings  equals the  aggregate  amount of the  Limited  Partners'  original
invested capital plus a cumulative 10% annual return (compounded daily) on their
aggregate  unreturned  invested  capital  (calculated  from the beginning of the
first full fiscal quarter following the Partnership's  closing date).  Including
the  distribution  for the  fourth  quarter  of 1995  made  February  29,  1996,
cumulative   distributions  to  date  are  $513.50  per  Unit.  This  cumulative
distribution  per Unit amount  represents  13.39% of "Payout".  After Payout has
occurred,  any Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings will be distributed
15%  (plus  an  additional  1% for  each 1% by which  the  total of all  Limited
Partners'  original  Capital  Contributions  actually  paid or  allocated to the
Partnership's  investment  in  equipment  exceeds  the greater of (i) 80% of the
gross proceeds of the  Partnership's  offering of Units,  reduced by 0.0625% for
each 1% of leverage encumbering  Partnership equipment, or (ii) 75% of the gross
proceeds of such  offering)  to the General  Partner,  and the  remainder to the
Limited  Partners.  It is not  anticipated  that  Payout  will  occur  as of the
liquidation of this Partnership.

Distributable  Cash,  if any,  will be  distributed  within  60 days  after  the
completion of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each Partnership fiscal
year,  and within 120 days after the  completion of each fiscal year,  beginning
after the first full fiscal quarter  following the  Partnership's  closing date.
Each such  distribution  will be  described  in a statement  sent to the Limited
Partners.

bankruptcy of CIS and CMI, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Item 7. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

General

On April 25, 1986, the Partnership  completed its offering and received from the
escrow  account  $10,079,140  representing  20,185 Units of Limited  Partnership
Interests.  Of this amount,  the Partnership  received proceeds from the sale of
334 Units at a price  net of sales  commissions  for  employees  of the  General
Partners of the General Partner and employees and securities  representatives of
its  affiliates,  who are allowed to purchase  Units for a net price of $460 per
Unit.

Results of Operations

The Partnership realized net income of $471,147, $759,459 and $1,100,540 for the
years ended  December  31,  1995,  1994 and 1993,  respectively.  Rental  income
increased  $167,195  or 7%  and  decreased  $122,600  or 5% in  1995  and  1994,
respectively.  The increase is primarily due to the rental stream related to the
current and prior year  equipment  acquisitions  in the amount of $1,923,713 and
$1,930,160, respectively. The 1994 decrease in rental income is primarily due to
lower  rental rates  obtained on equipment  lease  extensions  and  remarketings
resulting after the initial lease term expires. Interest income decreased in the
current year as a result of lower average  short-term  investment  balances held
during 1995, versus the prior year in which interest income increased due to the
higher  average  short-term  balances  held.  The  $161,510  net loss on sale of
equipment recognized in 1995 resulted from the large sales of equipment carrying
high net book values as compared to the prior year in which there was a $354,031
net gain on sale of equipment.

Total  costs  and  expenses  decreased  4% in 1995,  and  increased  4% in 1994,
compared to prior  periods.  The  decrease in costs and  expenses is primarily a
result of lower depreciation  expense. The current year decrease in depreciation
expense is  attributable  to a large  portion of the  equipment  becoming  fully
depreciated. Included in depreciation expense in 1995 and 1993, respectively, is
a  provision  for  $110,000  and  $100,000 to  properly  reflect  the  equipment
portfolio's net realizable  value.  Interest expense increased $34,142 from 1995
to 1994  due to the  payoff  and  continued  paydown  on the  installment  notes
payable-affiliates  and long-term  debt.  The reversal of provision for doubtful
accounts  of  $31,070 is due to  successful  collection  efforts  on  delinquent
accounts in 1995.  Management  fees increased in the current year as a result of
the increase in rental income.  General and  administrative  expenses  increased
$22,926  and  $19,431  for  the  years  ended   December   31,  1995  and  1994,
respectively.  A major factor contributing to this increase is that salaries and
expenses of the partnership  accounting and reporting personnel,  of the General
Partner, which are reimbursable by the various partnerships under management are
being allocated over a diminishing  number of partnerships.  The General Partner
managed 15  partnerships in 1995, 19 partnerships in 1994 and 21 partnerships in
1993.

The  Partnership  recorded  net income per Limited  Partnership  Unit of $21.01,
$35.30  and  $51.90  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1995,  1994 and 1993,
respectively.  The  allocation  for the years ended  December  31, 1995 and 1994
includes a cost  recovery  allocation  of profit and loss among the  General and
Limited  Partners  which  results in an  allocation  of net loss to the  Limited
Partners. This cost recovery allocation is required to maintain capital accounts
consistent with the  distribution  provisions of the Partnership  Agreement.  In
certain  periods,  the  cost  recovery  of  profit  and loss  may  result  in an
allocation of net loss the Limited Partners in instances when the  Partnership's
operations were profitable for the period.






Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the year ended December 31, 1995,  rental  revenue  generated from operating
leases was the primary source of funds for the Partnership.  As equipment leases
terminate,  the General Partner  determines if the equipment will be extended to
the same lessee,  remarketed  to another  lessee,  or if it is less  marketable,
sold. This decision is made upon analyzing which options would generate the most
favorable results.

Rental income will continue to decrease due to two factors.  The first factor is
the rate obtained when the original  leases expire and are remarketed at a lower
rate.  Typically  the  remarketed  rates are lower due to the decrease in useful
life of the  equipment.  Secondly,  the  increasing  change of technology in the
computer  industry  usually  decreases  the  demand  for older  equipment,  thus
increasing the possibility of obsolescence.  Both of these factors together will
cause  remarketed  rates to be lower than original  rates and will cause certain
leases to terminate upon expiration.  This decrease  however,  should not affect
the  partnership's  ability  to meet its  future  cash  requirements,  including
long-term  debt  obligations.  To the extent that  future  cash flows  should be
insufficient  to meet the  Partnership's  operating  expenses  and  liabilities,
additional funds could be obtained through the sale of equipment, or a reduction
in the rate of cash  distributions.  Future rental revenues amount to $2,734,502
and are to be  received  over the next four years  (see note 4 to the  financial
statements).

The  Partnership's  investing  activities  for the year  resulted  in  equipment
purchases of  $1,923,713  and equipment  sales with a depreciated  cost basis of
$369,728,  generating  $208,218 in  proceeds.  The  Partnership  has no material
capital expenditure commitments,  but will continue to purchase equipment as new
operating leases are presented.

The Partnership's  financing  activities resulted in proceeds from borrowings on
long-term debt of $913,792.  The Partnership  activities also included a paydown
on  long-term  debt during 1995 of  $547,811.  The  Partnership  will payoff its
remaining  long-term debt of $732,726 by 1998.  Total  long-term debt assumed by
the Partnership  from inception is $6,798,951,  for a total leverage of 23%. The
Partnership's  financing  activities  in 1995 also  resulted  in the  short-term
borrowing  of notes  payable-affiliate  in the  amount of  $339,047  to  finance
equipment purchases which was paid off during the year.

Cash distributions paid in this first quarter of 1996 are currently at an annual
level of 8% per Limited  Partnership  Unit,  or $10.00 per  Limited  Partnership
Unit.  During 1995,  the  Partnership  distributed a total of $45.00 per Limited
Partnership Unit, of which $21.01 per Unit represents income and $23.99 per Unit
represents a return of capital.  For the quarter  ended  December 31, 1995,  the
Partnership  declared a cash  distribution  of  $212,474,  of which  $10,624 was
distributed to the General  Partner and $201,850 was  distributed to the Limited
Partners.  The  distribution  subsequently  occurred on February 29,  1996.  The
Partnership expects to continue paying at or near this level in the future.

The effects of inflation have not been  significant to the  Partnership  and are
not expected to have any material impact in future periods.

On January 9, 1996,  TLP Holding LLC  purchased all the common stock of TLP from
Holding.  Under the new  ownership,  it is  expected  that TLP will  continue to
operate in the same manner of business as it has in the past.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                        December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993


(1)   Organization and Partnership Matters

The  Partnership  was  organized   under  the   Massachusetts   Uniform  Limited
Partnership Act on March 19, 1985. The Amended Agreement of Limited  Partnership
authorized the issuance of up to 25,000 Limited  Partnership Units at a per unit
gross price of $500 and up to 20 additional units to affiliates. The Partnership
closed on April 25, 1986, with 20,185 units.

Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Amended  Agreement  of  Limited  Partnership,
Distributable  Cash From  Operations  and  Profits  for  federal  income tax and
financial  reporting  purposes from normal operations and any Distributable Cash
From Sales or Refinancings  from gains of the Partnership shall be allocated 95%
to the Limited Partners and 5% to the General Partner.  Further,  gains on sales
of  equipment  occurring  after the  reinvestment  period end shall be allocated
first to  eliminate  negative  capital  accounts,  if any, and second 95% to the
Limited  Partners and 5% to the General Partner until  "Payout".  "Payout" means
the time when the aggregate amount of all  distributions to the Limited Partners
of Distributable  Cash From Operations and of  Distributable  Cash From Sales or
Refinancings  equals the  aggregate  amount of the  Limited  Partners'  original
invested capital plus a cumulative 10% annual return (compounded daily) on their
aggregate  unreturned  invested  capital  (calculated  from the beginning of the
first full fiscal quarter following the Partnership's  closing date). Losses for
federal income tax and financial  reporting  purposes from normal operations and
any Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings from losses of the Partnership
shall be allocated  99% to the Limited  Partners  and 1% to the General  Partner
until  Payout  has  occurred,  and 85% to the  Limited  Partners  and 15% to the
General Partner thereafter.  In addition,  special cost recovery allocations may
be  required to reflect  the  differing  initial  capital  contributions  of the
General Partner and the Limited Partners.  The  Partnership's  books and records
are  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Amended   Agreement  of  Limited
Partnership. Including the fourth quarter of 1995 distribution made February 29,
1996,  cumulative  distributions  to date are $513.50 per Unit.  This cumulative
distribution per Unit amount  represents 13.39% of Payout. It is not anticipated
that Payout will occur as of the liquidation of this Partnership.

The General Partner has contributed $1,000 in respect of its General Partnership
interest.  In addition,  the General Partner and its affiliates have acquired an
additional  $10,000 of Limited  Partnership Units in accordance with the Amended
Agreement of Limited Partnership.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General

The  Partnership's  records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting so
that revenues are  recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as incurred.
Assets and  liabilities  are those of the  Partnership  and do not  include  any
assets and liabilities of the individual partners.  The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.

Depreciation on investment property purchased in 1987 and thereafter is provided
using the  double-declining  balance method,  generally over a five-year period.
The  Partnership's  policy is to  periodically  review the estimated fair market
value of its equipment to assess the  recoverability of its undepreciated  cost.
In accordance with this policy, the Partnership records a charge to depreciation
expense  in  instances  when the net book  value of  equipment  exceeds  its net
realizable   value.   Included  in  depreciation   expense  in  1995  and  1993,
respectively,  is a provision for $110,000 and $100,000 to properly  reflect the
equipment  portfolio's net realizable value. Routine maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred.  Major  betterments and  enhancements  are capitalized and
depreciated in accordance with the Partnership's depreciation policy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The  Partnership  considers  cash  and  short-term   investments  with  original
maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The financial  statements  include allowances for estimated losses on receivable
balances.  The  allowances  for  doubtful  accounts  are based on past write off
experience  and an evaluation  of potential  uncollectible  accounts  within the
current  receivable  balances.  Receivable  balances  which are determined to be
uncollectible  are charged against the allowance and subsequent  recoveries,  if
any, are credited to the allowance. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the allowance
for  doubtful  accounts  included in rents  receivable  was $28,448 and $55,208,
respectively, and $0 and $4,310 included in sales receivable, respectively.

Income Taxes

No provision  for federal  income taxes has been made as the  liability for such
taxes is that of the Partners rather than the  Partnership.  Taxable income,  as
reported  on  Schedule  K-1,  Form 1065  "Partner's  Share of  Income,  Credits,
Deductions, etc.", was $410,616, $711,665 and $1,200,540 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively (see note 7).

Reclassifications

Certain prior year financial  statement items have been  reclassified to conform
with the current year's financial statement presentation.

Possession until October 25, 1989, when the United States  Bankruptcy Court (the
"Court")  confirmed  the  appointment  of James P. Hassett as Chapter 11 trustee
(the  "Trustee")  of the  Debtors.  Holding  is the parent of TLP and CMI is the
parent of CISMS. TLP and CISMS, neither of which filed under Chapter 11, are the
two Corporate  General Partners of Wellesley  Leasing  Partnership,  the General
Partner of the Partnership. Both before and after the Petition Date, CIS and CMI
have acted as agents for the  Partnership  in selling,  leasing and  remarketing
Partnership equipment.  Holding became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIS pursuant
to a Court ordered settlement on July 20, 1993.

As of the Petition Date, there were a number of unsettled  transactions  between
CIS  and  CMI  and  the  Partnership  and  other  affiliated  partnerships  (the
Partnership and such other partnerships are herein  collectively  referred to as
the  "Partnerships"),  including  outstanding  accounts  receivable and accounts
payable between each of the Partnerships  and CIS and CMI and their  affiliates,
sales  of  equipment  and  related  leases  from  CIS  and  CMI to  each  of the
Partnerships  for  which  not all  documentation  had been  completed  as of the
Petition  Date,  and sales of  equipment  and related  leases from which CIS had
failed to remove prior third-party liens. In addition,  accounts  receivable and
accounts  payable   continued  to  accrue  and  be  paid  between  each  of  the
Partnerships  and CIS and CMI and their  affiliates  subsequent  to the Petition
Date.

On February 28, 1992,  the Court granted an order  implementing  a settlement of
the outstanding  issues between each of the  Partnerships  and the Debtors.  The
settlement occurred on March 13, 1992. In the order the Court approved a set-off
on a  partnership-by-partnership  basis  of  pre-petition  amounts  owed by each
affected Debtor to each  Partnership to the extent of pre-petition  amounts owed
by that  Partnership to that Debtor.  The  Partnership was a net creditor to the
Debtors and paid in full its amounts owing them.


On November 29, 1994, the Court  confirmed the Trustee's  proposed Joint Plan of
Reorganization  dated October 4, 1994,  and the Debtors  emerged from Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on December 21, 1994.

(9)   Subsequent Events

On January 9, 1996,  TLP Holding LLC  purchased all the common stock of TLP from
Holding.  Under the new  ownership,  it is  expected  that TLP will  continue to
operate in the same manner of business as it has in the past.

The  Partnership is not aware of any legal  proceedings  against any Director or
Executive  Officer of the Corporate  General Partners which may be important for
the evaluation of any such person's ability and integrity.





Item 11.  Management Remuneration and Transactions.

(a), (b), (c), (d), and (e): The Officers and Directors of the Corporate General
Partners receive no current or proposed direct  remuneration in such capacities,
pursuant to any standard  arrangements or otherwise,  from the  Partnership.  In
addition,  the Partnership has not paid and does not propose to pay any options,
warrants  or rights to the  Officers  and  Directors  of the  Corporate  General
Partners.  There exists no remuneration  plan or arrangement with any Officer or
Director of the  Corporate  General  Partners  resulting  from the  resignation,
retirement  or any other  termination.  See note 5 to the  financial  statements
included in Item 8. of this report for a description of the remuneration paid by
the Partnership to the General Partner and its affiliates  during 1995, 1994 and
1993.





Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Owners and Management.

By virtue of its  organization  as a limited  partnership,  the  Partnership has
outstanding no securities  possessing  traditional  voting rights.  However,  as
provided  for in Section 13.2 of the Amended  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership
(subject to Section  13.3),  a majority  interest of the Limited  Partners  have
voting rights with respect to:

1.  Amendment of the Limited Partnership Agreement;

2.  Termination of the Partnership;

3.  Removal of the General Partner; and

4.  Approval or  disapproval of the sale of  substantially  all  the  assets  of
    the Partnership.

No person or group is known by the General Partner to own beneficially more than
5% of the  Partnership's  20,185  outstanding  Limited  Partnership  Units as of
December 31, 1995.

By virtue of its organization as a limited  partnership,  the Partnership has no
Officers or Directors.  See also note 1 to the financial  statements included in
Item 8. and Item 10. of this report.





Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

(a), (b), and (c): The General Partner of the  Partnership is Wellesley  Leasing
Partnership,  a  Massachusetts  general  partnership  which  in turn  has  three
Corporate General Partners:  TLP and CISMS, both Massachusetts  corporations and
Waddell  &  Reed,  a  Missouri  corporation.  The  Corporate  General  Partners'
Directors and Executive  Officers are identified in Item 10. of this report. The
Partnership was not involved in any transaction involving any of these Directors
or Officers or any member of the immediate family of these individuals,  nor did
any of these persons provide services to the Partnership for which they received
direct  or  indirect   remuneration.   Similarly,   there   exists  no  business
relationship between the Partnership and any of the Directors or Officers of the
Corporate  General  Partners,  nor were any of the  individuals  indebted to the
Partnership.

The General Partner is responsible for acquiring, financing, leasing and selling
equipment for the  Partnership.  CISMS  proposes for the  Partnership  equipment
acquisitions, leasing transactions,  financing and refinancing transactions, and
sale  transactions  for  approval by the  Executive  Committee  and oversees the
operation,  management and use of each Partnership's  equipment. TLP oversaw the
marketing  of  the  Units  and  oversees  all  administrative  functions  of the
Partnership and, together with Waddell & Reed, provides substantially all of the
General  Partner's  capital  resources.  In  consideration  of such services and
capital  commitments,  TLP receives  30%,  Waddell & Reed receives 10% and CISMS
receives 60% of all  compensation  received by the General Partner in connection
with  the  formation  and  operation  of the  Partnership  (including  equipment
management fees, acquisition fees, subordinated remarketing fees and the General
Partner's share of Distributable  Cash From Sales or  Refinancings),  except for
Acquisition  Fees, as to which TLP receives 15%, Waddell & Reed receives 10% and
CISMS  receives 75%. The General  Partner also was reimbursed in an amount equal
to 3% of the gross proceeds of the  Partnership's  offerings for  organizational
and offering expenses;  all such expenses in excess of that amount were borne by
TLP. See note 5 to the financial  statements  included in Item 8. of this report
for a description of payments made by the Partnership to the General Partner.

For  information  regarding  the  settlements  between the  Partnership  and the
Liquidating Estate of CIS Corporation,  et al, arising out of the emergence from
bankruptcy of CIS and CMI, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
