          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements 
     have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted     
     accounting principles for interim financial information and  
     the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation   
     S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the            
     information and disclosures required by generally accepted   
     accounting principles for annual financial statements.  In   
     the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of    
     normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a     
     fair presentation have been included.  For further           
     information, please refer to the financial statements of     
     Capital Associates, Inc. (the "Company"), and the related    
     notes, included within the Company's Annual Report on Form   
     10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1993 ("the 1993 Form  
     10-K"), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange    
     Commission.

     The consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 1993 and the    
     consolidated statements of operations for the three and six  
     months ended November 30, 1992 have been restated to reflect 
     the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  
     No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes", as      
     discussed further in Note 3 to Notes to Consolidated Interim 
     Financial Statements.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods'   
     financial statements to conform to the current period's      
     presentation.

2.   Credit Facility

     The Company's recourse operating credit facility ("Credit    
     Facility") consists of two facilities, a revolving credit    
     facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a term        
     facility (the "Term Loan").  The availability under the      
     Revolving Credit Facility is equal to (1) the lesser of      
     $10.75 million or (2) the Borrowing Base amount, reduced by  
     the outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit      
     Facility.  As of November 30, 1993, the Borrowing Base       
     amount was $7.8 million, and the outstanding indebtedness    
     under the Revolving Credit Facility was $89,000, leaving     
     approximately $7.7 million of availability under the         
     Revolving Credit Facility to fund the Company's working      
     capital needs.

     The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan as of     
     November 30, 1993 was $28,016,000.  Principal reductions     
     under the Term Loan are scheduled to occur as follows (in    
     thousands):

     Six months ended May 31, 1994                       $  7,426
     Twelve months ended May 31, 1995                      16,446
     Balance remaining at May 31, 1995 (the scheduled
      termination date of the Credit Facility)              4,144
                                                         $ 28,016

     At November 30, 1993, CAII had prepaid $400,000 of the       
     scheduled Term Loan payments, representing approximately one-third   
     of one month's scheduled payments.  As of the time these     
     financial statements were prepared, there were no Defaults   
     or Events of Default existing under the Credit Facility.

                         (Unaudited)

2.   Credit Facility, (continued)

     The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the Mellon   
     Bank, N.A.'s Prime Rate plus 1%, payable monthly, in         
     arrears.  On November 30, 1993, Mellon's Prime Rate was      
     6.0%.  The Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.0%, 
     payable monthly, in arrears.

3.   Income Taxes

     Effective June 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109.  SFAS  
     109 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and 
     assets for the future income tax consequences of events that 
     have been recognized in the Company's financial statements   
     or tax returns.

     The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 109 by restating       
     fiscal years 1993 and 1992 financial statements.  The        
     effects of the restatement on net income and related per     
     share amounts for the three and six months ended November    
     30, 1992 are as follows:
                           Three Months Ended    Six Months Ended 
                           November 30, 1992    November 30, 1992

     As previously reported:
       Net income                $ 259,000            $ 527,000   
       Net income per common
        share                         .03                  .06    
     As restated:
       Net income                $ 380,000            $ 766,000   
       Net income per common
        share                         .04                  .08    
     Change in net income due    $ 121,000            $ 239,000
       to adoption of SFAS 109

     Income taxes are provided on net income at the appropriate   
     federal and state statutory rates.  The effective overall    
     tax rate for fiscal year 1993 was 40%.  The Company files    
     state income tax returns in 50 states.  Statutory state      
     income tax rates vary between 0% and 12%.  The changing mix  
     of business among states impacts the Company's aggregate     
     effective state income tax rate.  The Company estimates that 
     its effective tax rate will remain at 40% for fiscal year    
     1994.

     Equipment Sales, continued

     As discussed below, to maintain profitable results of        
     operations, the Company is selling more leased equipment     
     during its initial lease term (shown in the preceding table  
     as an increase in margin of $963,000 for the six months      
     ended November 30, 1993) to offset the decrease in sales     
     margins from transactions subsequent to initial lease        
     termination (shown in preceding table as a decrease in       
     margin of $2,701,000 for the six months ended November 30,   
     1993).  In the ordinary course of business, the Company will 
     (i) sell new lease originations to its PIFs (to the extent   
     the PIFs have funds available for such purpose) or private   
     investors, and (ii) sell seasoned lease transactions         
     (previously originated leases held in the Company's          
     portfolio) to private investors when the profit is desirable 
     or to reduce perceived residual exposure.  The Company       
     expects to continue to sell leased equipment during the      
     initial lease term to maintain profitable results of         
     operations during fiscal 1994.  To the extent such sales     
     involve seasoned lease transactions, it will increase the    
     effect of portfolio run-off.

     The table below demonstrates that the decline in the Company's
     lease portfolio during the six months ended November 30, 1993 is
     attributable primarily to equipment sales:

     (2)  In connection with one sale to a private investor, the Company
          retained its existing interest in the residual value of the
          equipment of approximately $974,000 and, accordingly, such
          retained residual values have been recorded in the
          accompanying balance sheet as residual values and other
          receivables arising from sales to private investors.

     (3)  The Company recorded a gain of $189,000 on the sale of the
          underlying lease rentals.

     A significant portion of the Company's net assets consists   
     of aircraft.  The following table summarizes the Company's   
     investment in aircraft as of November 30, 1993 and May 31,   
     1993 (in thousands):

     Net investment in aircraft        $  11,130        $ 12,419

     To reduce the concentration of aircraft in it's portfolio,   
     during the first fiscal quarter 1994 the Company sold three  
     aircraft under lease.  The sale of the Company's investment  
     in these three aircraft represented approximately one-half   
     of the total net investment of $3,128,000 sold to private    
     investors during the six months ended November 30, 1993.

     Approximately $8.3 million (net of non-recourse debt of $7.4
     million) of the Company's current $11.1 million of net       
     investment in aircraft is represented by three jet aircraft. 
     Leases on these aircraft expire between December 31, 1993    
     and December 31, 1994.  The existing lessee has signed a     
     commitment to extend the leases on two of the aircraft       
     through December 31, 1996.  The existing lessee notified the 
     Company that it would not renew the lease on the third       
     aircraft after its expiration on December 31, 1993.  During  
     the first fiscal quarter 1994, a provision for loss of       
     $180,000 was recorded to reduce the carrying value of that   
     aircraft to its expected net sales value.  The Company is    
     continuing to remarket the third aircraft through re-lease   
     or sale to other third party users.  Due to the long         
     remaining useful life of this type of asset, the Company     
     prefers to renew or re-lease, rather than sell, the assets,  
     in order to maximize their value.  However, to reduce the    
     concentration of its investment in this type of equipment,   
     the Company will consider a sale of one or more of the       
     aircraft.

     The Company's investment in the third aircraft discussed     
     above is subject to non-recourse "balloon" debt of           
     approximately $2.3 million which was payable in full upon    
     expiration of the lease and, accordingly, the Company funded 
     such payment using the availability under the Revolving      
     Credit Facility on January 3, 1994.

     Equipment Sales to PIFs

     Equipment sales to PIFs increased during both the second     
     fiscal quarter 1994 and the six months ended November 30,    
     1993, as compared to the similar periods in fiscal 1993,     
     principally because more leases that satisfied the Company's 
     Underwriting Standards were identified, in part as a result  
     of the opening of new sales offices.

     Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the Company is       
     entitled to receive various fees and distributions in        
     connection with its activities related to its sponsored      
     PIFs.  One such fee, an acquisition fee payable upon sale of 
     equipment under lease to a PIF, is, in general, subject to a 
     regulatory maximum amount over the term of a PIF.            
     Acquisition fees earned by the Company from equipment sales  
     to one of its PIFs reached the regulatory maximum during     
     fiscal 1992 and, during first fiscal quarter 1994, the       
     maximum was reached for another PIF.  These circumstances    
     will have an impact on reported equipment sales margins in   
     future periods, but are not expected to impact total         
     PIF-related income (after costs of equipment sales) in       
     future periods because other allowable fees and              
     distributions are expected to increase during such periods.

     Equipment Sales to Private Investors

     The Company re-opened its private investor sales department  
     during the second fiscal quarter 1993 and has hired two      
     experienced private equity salespersons.  The Company sold   
     $7.9 million and $21 million of equipment under lease to     
     private investors during the three and six month periods     
     ended November 30, 1993, respectively.  This compares to     
     $5.2 million of sales of equipment to private investors      
     during the three and six month periods ended November 30,    
     1992.  The development of a customer base of private         
     investors is a principal operating goal for the Company.

     Remarketing Sales

     Margins from remarketing sales (i.e., sales occurring after  
     the initial lease term) are affected by the amount of        
     equipment leases that mature in a particular quarter.  In    
     general, as the size of the Company's lease portfolio        
     declines, fewer leases mature and less equipment is          
     available for remarketing each quarter.  As a result,        
     remarketing revenue has declined during the three and six    
     months ended November 30, 1993 compared to similar periods   
     in fiscal 1993.  The Company's ability to remarket           
     additional amounts of equipment and realize a greater amount 
     of remarketing revenue in future periods is dependent on     
     adding additional leases to its portfolio.  Accordingly, the 
     Company is pursuing financing possibilities to obtain funds  
     to add to its own portfolio, such as lease securitization    
     and other financing possibilities.  See the discussion of    
     financing possibilities under "Business Plan" below.

     Provision for Losses

     Residual values are established equal to the estimated value 
     to be received from the equipment following termination of   
     the lease.  In estimating such values, the Company considers 
     all relevant facts regarding the equipment and the lessee,   
     including, for example, the likelihood that the lessee will  
     re-lease the equipment.  The Company performs ongoing        
     quarterly assessments of its assets to identify other than   
     temporary losses in value.  At the time the first fiscal     
     quarter 1994 interim financial statements were prepared, the 
     Company identified a greater than expected amount of         
     equipment under lease that the Company had expected to be    
     released, which instead, would be terminated and returned to 
     the Company.  The amounts recovered (and expected to be      
     recovered) from the sale of such equipment was less than the 
     previously estimated residual value, and accordingly, an     
     appropriate provision for loss was recorded.  Because the    
     first quarter's provision considered known second quarter    
     activity, the Company recorded a correspondingly smaller     
     provision for loss in the second fiscal quarter 1994.

     Provision for losses result from the realization of less     
     than the carrying value of equipment (which is typically not 
     known until remarketing subsequent to the initial lease      
     termination has occurred).  The remarketing of equipment for 
     an amount greater than its book value is reported as         
     equipment sales margin or as leasing margin.  As shown on    
     pages 8 and 9 of 19, the "net" realizations from portfolio   
     sales during the second fiscal quarter 1994 exceeded the     
     aggregate carrying value of the assets sold, even without    
     considering realizations from remarketing activities         
     recorded as leasing margin (see discussion below).




Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial         
        Condition and Results of Operations

I.   Result of Operations, continued

     Leasing Margin

     Leasing margin consists of the following (in thousands):

                            Three Months Ended  Six Months Ended
                               November 30,       November 30,
                             1993        1992    1993      1992

     Leasing revenue       $ 3,609     $ 7,580  $ 7,838 $ 15,138  
     Leasing costs and
       expenses             (1,288)     (3,563)  (2,996)  (7,569)
     Net interest expense
       on associated
       discounted lease
       rentals                (879)     (1,721)  (2,110)  (3,513)

         Leasing margin    $ 1,442     $ 2,296  $ 2,732  $ 4,056 

         Leasing margin ratio  40%         30%      35%      27%

     Leasing margin has declined as a result of portfolio         
     run-off.  See the discussion under "Business Plan" below.    
     The leasing margin ratio has increased as a result of        
     remarketing activities, which include the rental proceeds    
     related to renewing, extending or re-leasing equipment       
     before or after the end of the initial lease term.

     Other Income

     During the first fiscal quarter 1994, the Company received a 
     $2 million income tax refund, consisting of $1.6 million     
     that was previously recorded as "Income tax refunds          
     receivable", and an additional $.4 million of interest that  
     was recorded in first fiscal quarter 1994 as "Other income".

     Operating and Other Expenses

     Operating and other expenses decreased $464,000 (13%) and    
     $779,000 (11%) for the three and six months ended November   
     30, 1993, as compared to fiscal 1993.  The decrease          
     principally reflects a reduction in salaries and wages.  As  
     of November 30, 1993, the Company had 119 full-time          
     employees compared to 149 full-time employees at November    
     30, 1992.  As the portfolio has run-off, the Company has     
     decreased the size of its back office staff while adding     
     revenue producing sales personnel.  The Company has eleven   
     field sales offices open as of November 30, 1993.


     Interest Income and Expense

     Interest income on discounted lease rentals arises when      
     equipment financed with non-recourse debt is sold to         
     investors.  The Consolidated Statements of Operations        
     reflect an equal amount of interest expense.  The decline in 
     interest income and non-recourse debt interest expense is    
     due to portfolio run-off.

     The decrease in recourse debt interest expense principally   
     reflects the decline in the outstanding balance of the       
     Working Capital Facility.

     Income Taxes

     Effective June 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of     
     Financial Accounting Standards No.  109,  "Accounting for    
     Income Taxes".  See Note 3 to Notes to Consolidated Interim  
     Financial Statements.


II.  Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's activities are principally funded by the       
     Revolving Credit Facility, rents, proceeds from sales of     
     on-lease equipment, non-recourse debt, fees and              
     distributions from its PIFs, and sales or re-leases of       
     equipment after the expiration of the initial lease terms.

     Cash held by the PIFs available for purchase of equipment    
     from the Company is:
                                               As of November 30,
                                                  1993      1992

     Available cash                            $ 11,238  $ 14,802
     Cash committed for equipment purchases       9,122     5,695
     Uncommitted cash                         $   2,116  $  9,107

     Currently, one PIF, Capital Preferred Yield Fund-II,         
     ("CPYF-II") is actively selling units to the public.  Three  
     other PIFs have ceased offering units, however, they         
     generate cash for purchase of equipment from operating       
     activities.  The Company anticipates that $19 million of     
     additional cash available for purchase of equipment will be  
     generated by the four PIFs during third fiscal quarter       
     1994.  During the fourth fiscal quarter 1994, CPYF-II will   
     cease offering units for sale to the public.  The Company    
     has commenced the process of registering for sale to the     
     public up to $50 million of units in a new PIF, Capital      
     Preferred Yield Fund-III, ("CPYF-III").  The Company         
     anticipates commencing the offering of unit sales in         
     CPYF-III following the termination of the offering for       
     sale to the public of units in CPYF-II.

     Management believes the Company's ability to generate cash   
     from operations is sufficient to fund operations,            
     particularly when operations are viewed as including         
     investing and financing activities.  In this context, it     
     should be noted that the Company reduced its recourse debt   
     by $9.8 million since May 31, 1993 and improved it's         
     recourse debt-to-equity ratio as follows:
                                                    As of         
                                        November 30,      May 31,
                                           1993            1993  

     Recourse debt                       $  28,105      $  37,857
     Stockholders equity                 $  20,756      $  20,303
     Recourse debt/stockholder's equity  1.35 to 1      1.86 to 1

III. Business Plan

     As discussed in the 1993 Form 10-K, during fiscal year       
     1991, the Company agreed with its Lenders to begin repaying  
     its Credit Facility.  Accordingly, during the last four      
     months of fiscal year 1991, fiscal years 1992 and 1993 and   
     during the six months ended November 30, 1993, the Company   
     used substantially all of its cash flow after payment of     
     operating expenses to pay down its Credit Facility.  As a    
     result of making these repayments, the Company did not have  
     the funds necessary to significantly add to its leasing      
     portfolio.  Because a leasing portfolio declines in size as  
     it matures, the Company's leasing portfolio and related      
     revenue have declined since 1991.  The Revolving Credit      
     Facility provides a limited amount of funds to the Company   
     to invest in new leases.  However, this level of funds is    
     not sufficient to maintain the current portfolio and,        
     accordingly, the current level of remarketing profits may    
     not be achievable in the future.  Therefore, maintaining     
     the current level of profitability is dependent principally  
     upon equipment sales margins from new lease originations     
     and from seasoned lease transactions (see the discussion on  
     page 9 of 19) or development of new sources of revenue       
     related to the Company's core business.

     The Company's current business plan is designed to maintain  
     profitable operations.  The amount of longer-term future     
     profits, if any, will largely depend on the amount of new    
     capital available to the Company.  Such capital may be in a  
     variety of forms including new recourse debt, additional     
     equity (which could include a sale of the Company, possibly  
     coupled with an infusion of new funds into the Company from  
     the purchaser), securitized financing vehicles or equity     
     provided from private purchases of equipment originated by   
     the Company.  The Company is actively pursuing financing     
     possibilities.  No assurance can be given, however, that     
     the Company will be successful in operating profitably,      
     developing new sources of revenue or in obtaining access to  
     new financing.
