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, 1995 (the "1995
    Form 10-K"), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    The  balance  sheet  at May 31,  1995  has been  derived  from  the  audited
    financial statements included in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K.

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


2.  MBank Proceeds
    --------------

    On August 23, 1995, the Company  received $10.8 million in settlement of its
    claims in connection with the MBank Litigation (which is discussed in detail
    in Footnote 15 to Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  to the 1995
    Form 10-K). In accordance  with the terms of the  settlement,  on August 28,
    1995,  the Company  delivered  $2.2 million to Bank One Texas,  N.A.  ("Bank
    One"), in repayment of the monies received from Bank One in 1992 (along with
    interest thereon), as required by that certain Purchase Agreement,  dated as
    of December 30, 1991, by and among the Company and Bank One. On September 8,
    1995,  Bank One,  which is pursuing its lawsuit to obtain title to the MBank
    Equipment (see Part II, Item 1. LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS,  (a) MBANK  LITIGATION),
    rejected  the tender and  returned  the $2.2  million to the Company  (while
    purporting  to  reserve  all  rights  to make a claim  to such  funds in the
    future).  On September  12,  1995,  the Company  deposited  the $2.2 million
    returned by Bank One in an  interest-bearing  escrow  account  with  Norwest
    Bank,  N.A.,  pending  resolution of Bank One's ongoing  claims to the MBank
    Equipment.  The Company used the balance of the settlement  proceeds,  i.e.,
    $8.6 million,  to paydown its short-term,  recourse Working Capital Facility
    and Warehouse Facility.

3.  Termination of Stockholders' Agreement
    --------------------------------------

    Effective as of August 31, 1995, Mr. Durliat,  a stockholder of the Company,
    Mr.  Jacobs,  a  stockholder  and director of the Company,  and the Company,
    constituting  all of the remaining  parties to the  Stockholders'  Agreement
    (see Exhibits  10.5(a),  10.5(b) and 10.42 referenced in the 1995 Form 10-K)
    agreed to terminate the Stockholders'  Agreement.  In connection  therewith,
    the Company  notified  Messrs.  Durliat and Jacobs that it intended to cease
    making  premium  payments for the key-man life  insurance  maintained by the
    Company to fund its obligation to repurchase  Mr.  Durliat's and Mr. Jacobs'
    Company  common  stock  upon  the  occurrence  of  certain  events  and,  in
    accordance with the terms of the  Stockholders'  Agreement,  Mr. Durliat and
    Mr. Jacobs  exercised  their options to acquire such insurance  policies for
    fifty percent (50%) of their net cash  surrender  values.  In November 1995,
    Mr.  Durliat  paid to the Company  $218,933.41  for the  insurance  policies
    maintained by the Company on Mr.  Durliat's life, and Mr. Jacobs paid to the
    Company  $128,164.00 for the insurance policies maintained by the Company on
    Mr.  Jacob's  life.  During  fiscal year 1995,  the Company paid premiums of
    $51,212  and  $37,323,  respectively,  with  respect  to the life  insurance
    policies covering Mr. Durliat and Mr. Jacobs.


4.  Cash and Cash Equivalents
    -------------------------

    Cash and cash equivalents  include highly liquid investments with a maturity
    of three months or less.

5.  Reverse Split
    -------------

    On November 2, 1995,  after  obtaining the  necessary  Board of Director and
    stockholder approvals,  the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation
    to effect a reverse  split of its common stock  pursuant to which each share
    of common stock issued and  outstanding  immediately  prior to the effective
    date of the reverse  split was  automatically  reclassified  as, and changed
    into, one-half (1/2) share of common stock. The reverse split did NOT change
    (1) the par value of the common stock (which  remains  $.008 per share after
    the reverse  split),  (2) the  authorized  number of shares of common  stock
    (which  remains at  15,000,000  shares  after the reverse  split) or (3) the
    voting  rights of the common  stock  (which  remain at one vote per share of
    common  stock after the reverse  split).  Fractional  shares of common stock
    created in the reverse  split were redeemed for cash pursuant to the formula
    set  forth  in  the   Certificate   of  Amendment  to  the   Certificate  of
    Incorporation of the Company.

6.  Change in Control of Registrant
    -------------------------------

    On November 10, 1995,  MCC  Financial  ("MCC")  acquired  voting  control of
    Capital Associates, Inc. (the "Company") through a private stock transaction
    and the delivery of proxies for shares of common  stock  subject to purchase
    in the future  pursuant  to  agreements  (the "Stock  Purchase  Agreements")
    executed by and between MCC and Gary M. Jacobs and Jack M.  Durliat,  two of
    the  Company's  largest  shareholders.  Pursuant  to  these  Stock  Purchase
    Agreements,   MCC  acquired   65,120   shares  of  common  stock   (reported
    post-reverse  split) for a purchase price of $3.30 per share or an aggregate
    amount of  $214,896.  In  addition,  MCC  acquired  the right to purchase an

     Equipment Sales to PIFs and to Private Investors
     ------------------------------------------------

     Equipment sales to PIFs and equipment sales to private investors  increased
     during the three and six months ended November 30, 1995, as compared to the
     comparable  periods in fiscal  1995,  principally  because more leases were
     identified and closed due to the increased  productivity of the field lease
     originations  team. The increased volume of the field lease  originators is
     primarily due to the Company's efforts to improve its marketing  activities
     including  focusing  on  customer  relationships.  In  this  regard,  lease
     originations  from one customer  relationship  accounted for  approximately
     one-third of the total lease  originations  volume for the first six months
     of fiscal  1996.  Total lease  origination  volume for the six months ended
     November 30, 1995  increased 65% over total lease  originations  volume for
     the comparable period in 1995.

     Remarketing of the Portfolio and Provision for Losses
     -----------------------------------------------------


     The  remarketing  of equipment for an amount greater than its book value is
     reported as equipment sales margin (if the equipment is sold) or as leasing
     margin (if the equipment is  re-leased).  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) is recorded as
     provision for losses.  As shown in the table above, the  realizations  from
     sales  exceeded the provision for losses for the three and six months ended
     November 30, 1995, even without  considering  realizations from remarketing
     activities recorded as leasing margin as discussed below. This circumstance
     of realizing in excess of the  aggregate  carrying  value on the  Company's
     portfolio has occurred for the last fourteen quarters.

     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 nature of the Company's leasing  activities is
     that it has credit  exposure and residual value exposure and,  accordingly,
     in the  ordinary  course of  business,  it will  incur  losses  from  those
     exposures. The Company performs ongoing quarterly assessments of its assets
     to identify other than temporary losses in value.

     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,  because the Company did not significantly
     add to its lease  portfolio  during the four years  prior to May 31,  1995,
     fewer  leases  have  matured  and less  equipment  has been  available  for
     remarketing  each quarter since May 31, 1995. For this reason,  remarketing
     revenue  declined  during the three and six months ended November 30, 1995,
     as compared to the comparable periods in fiscal 1995.  Remarketing  revenue
     and margin are expected to decline  further in future  quarters as maturing
     leases continue to decrease.  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.
     However,  adding leases to the  Company's  portfolio  will not  immediately
     increase the pool of maturing  leases because new leases  typically are not
     remarketed until after the initial term (which averages  approximately four
     years).

     The  increase in leasing  revenue,  leasing  costs and expenses and leasing
     margin during the three and six months ended November 30, 1995, as compared
     to the  comparable  periods in fiscal 1995,  was primarily due to growth in
     the  Company's  lease  portfolio.  These  revenue and  expense  amounts are
     expected to increase  further as the  Company  continues  to grow its lease
     portfolio.  Net interest  expense on discounted  lease rentals (funded with
     non-recourse  debt) did not grow  proportionately  because  the  Company is
     using its  recourse  debt  facility  to finance (i) leases held for its own
     account  and (2)  leases  held  pending  sale to the PIFs  and  third-party
     investors.

     OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENSES

     Operating and Other Expenses decreased $1.4 million (27%) for the first six
     months  ended  November  30, 1995 as compared to the  comparable  period in
     fiscal  1995.  The  decrease   included  the  following  more   significant
     reductions:

     *   $650,000  of   capitalized   initial  direct  costs  related  to  lease
         origination   volume.
     *   $250,000  of  insurance  costs.
     *   $200,000 difference between estimated incentive compensation and actual
         payments as modified by the Company's Board of Directors.
     *   $150,000  of  eliminated   restructuring  costs   associated  with  the
         Company's prior debt facility.
     *   $150,000 of legal fees primarily related to the MBank litigation.

     As of November 30, 1995, the Company had 96 full-time  employees,  compared
     to 91  full-time  employees  at  November  30,  1994.  The growth is due to
     increases in the number of revenue  producing  lease  origination,  private
     equity syndication and PIF wholesaler personnel.

     TERMINATION OF STOCKHOLDERS' AGREEMENT EXPENSE

     See  Note  3  to  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  more
     information concerning (1) the termination of the Stockholders'  Agreement,
     (2) the termination of the Company's obligation to continue to make premium
     payments on certain  key-man life  insurance  policies and (3) the payments
     the Company  received from the two  stockholders  to whom the policies were
     assigned.

     INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

     Interest revenue 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  non-recourse  interest
     expense  (net  of the  associated  interest  revenue)  is due to  portfolio
     run-off.

     Recourse  interest expense  increased during the first six months of fiscal
     1996,  as compared  to the first six months of fiscal  1995.  As  discussed
     above, the Company is financing more lease  originations  with its recourse
     lines of credit.

     INCOME TAXES

     Income tax  expense is provided  on income at the  appropriate  federal and
     state statutory rates applicable to such earnings.  The aggregate statutory
     tax rate is 40%.

     As discussed in Note 6 to Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  a
     transaction  was  completed  in which  the  Company's  largest  shareholder
     obtained  more than fifty percent of the ownership and voting rights of the
     Company ("a change in  control").  Upon  completion of a change in control,
     depending upon the terms and conditions of such transaction,  under federal
     income tax rules,  the amount of ITC  carryforwards  and AMT  carryforwards
     that could be utilized to reduce  income tax  liability  in any year may be
     significantly  limited.  However, the Company had previously  established a
     valuation  allowance for deferred  taxes due to  uncertainty  that the full
     amount of the ITC carryforward  would be utilized prior to expiration.  The
     change in control and any resulting  limitation on the ITC  carryforward is
     not  expected to reduce the  recoverability  of the amount of the  deferred
     income tax assets, net of the valuation allowance.


II.  Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------

     The Company's  activities  are  principally  funded by its Working  Capital
     Facility and  Warehouse  Facility,  rents,  proceeds from sales of on-lease
     equipment (to its PIFs and private  investors),  nonrecourse debt, fees and
     distributions  from its PIFs,  sales and  re-leases of equipment  after the
     expiration of the initial lease terms and other cash receipts.

II.  Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued
     ------------------------------- 

     On August 23, 1995, the Company received $10.8 million in settlement of its
     claims  in the  MBank  Litigation.  On  September  12,  1995,  the  Company
     deposited  $2.2 million of the settlement  proceeds in an  interest-bearing
     escrow account with Norwest Bank,  N.A.,  pending  resolution of Bank One's
     ongoing claims to the MBank Equipment.  The Company used the balance of the
     settlement  proceeds,  i.e.,  $8.6  million,  to  paydown  its  short-term,
     recourse  Working  Capital  Facility  and  Warehouse  Facility.   For  more
     information  concerning  this matter,  see Note 2 to Notes to  Consolidated
     Financial  Statements.  After application of the MBank settlement proceeds,
     as of November 30, 1995, the outstanding balance and the availability under
     (1) the Working Capital Facility were $1.8 and $3.2 million,  respectively,
     and (2) the  Warehouse  Facility  were  $15.1  million  and $16.9  million,
     respectively.  Management  believes that the Company has adequate financial
     resources to fund its operations during the remainder of fiscal year 1996.

     The Company's Credit Agreement matures on January 31, 1996. The Company has
     received  acknowledgment that the Credit Agreement will be extended without
     material changes through November 30, 1996. The Company expects the renewal
     to be signed prior to January 31, 1996.

     During  the first six  months of fiscal  1996,  lease  originations  of $67
     million were financed  through  $26.4  million of sales to the PIFs,  $19.9
     million of sales to private  investors,  and the remainder of approximately
     $20.7 million, which leases are held for the Company's account, through the
     use of the Company's cash, accounts payable and the Warehouse Facility.

     During July 1995,  the Company and certain of its  sponsored  PIFs  entered
     into an agreement  with a lender to debt finance up to $50 million of lease
     receivables as part of a lease securitization  program. As with nonrecourse
     debt  financings  of  lease  rentals,   securitized   financings  are  also
     collateralized by the leased equipment and related rentals, and the Company
     has no recourse  liability  to the lender for  repayment  of the debt.  The
     Company  selected  this  securitized  debt  vehicle  because of  attractive
     interest  rates.  Aggregate  closings  to date were $14.4  million  for the
     Company and its PIFs.

     Currently the Company is offering units of CPYF-III for sale to the public.
     During the first fiscal six months 1996,  the Company sold $11.5 million of
     Class A units  of  CPYF-III  (bringing  total  sales  of  Class A units  of
     CPYF-III to $35.2  million).  During the remainder of fiscal year 1996, the
     Company has up to $14.8 million of Class A units in CPYF-III  available for
     sale, which will represent a source of liquidity and acquisition fee income
     for the Company. During the fourth fiscal quarter 1996, CPYF-III will cease
     offering  units for sale to the  public.  The  Company  intends  to offer a
     succeeding  program  upon the closing of the  offering of units of CPYF-III
     for sale to the public.

III. Business Plan
     -------------

     The Company  believes  that it has the  necessary  funding  capability  for
     fiscal  year 1996 to (1)  continue  to  increase  the size of its own lease
     portfolio,  and (2)  originate/acquire  additional leases for sales to PIFs
     and private equity  investors.  However,  while growing the Company's lease
     origination  function and adding new leases to the Company's portfolio will
     positively  affect the  Company's  results of  operations  over time,  such
     actions will not positively  affect the Company's  results of operations in
     the near term  because  (a) it will take a period of time  before new lease
     transactions  can be closed,  (b) new operating lease  transactions  "throw
     off" lower returns (for financial  reporting  purposes)  during their early
     term and (c) the Company  will incur  additional  costs in  increasing  its
     marketing  capabilities.  During  this  period of growth,  the  Company may
     realize small operating losses or reduced  operating profits as a result of
     these circumstances.

     In addition to factors  related to growing the portfolio  discussed  above,
     operating results are subject to fluctuations  resulting from several other
     factors,  including variations in the relative percentages of the Company's
     leases entered into during the period which are classified as DFLs, OLs, or
     sold for fee income. The Company will adjust these percentages from time to
     time,  when  and as the  Company  determines  that it  would be in its best
     interests,   taking   into   account   profit   opportunities,    portfolio
     concentration and residual risk.

     Finally,  the Company's  operating results may be affected by its cost, and
     the availability of additional sources,  of capital.  The cost of funds for
     many of the  Company's  competitors  is lower  than the  Company's  cost of
     funds. The Company continues to explore all possible sources of additional,
     lower cost capital,  including obtaining additional capital from sales of a
     greater  number of leases to private  equity  purchasers,  factoring  lease
     receivables,  securitizing lease receivables and structuring other forms of
     creative lease/debt financing.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------
   
         (a) MBANK  LITIGATION.  See Note 15 to Notes to Consolidated  Financial
         Statements  included  in the 1995  Form  10-K for a  discussion  of the
         claims  asserted  against the Company by Bank One,  N.A.,  in its first
         amended complaint ("Bank One's Amended Complaint").  Bank One's Amended
         Complaint  does not assert any money damage claims against the Company.
         The Company has filed a motion with the United  States  District  Court
         for the Northern  District of Texas,  Dallas  Division  (the  "District
         Court"), which has agreed to retain jurisdiction over the claims in the
         MBank  Litigation  that were not resolved in the Settlement  Agreement,
         asking the District  Court to dismiss the claims  asserted  against the
         Company in Bank  One's  Amended  Complaint.  Bank One,  The  Prudential
         Insurance  Company,  Texas  Commerce Bank,  N.A.,  and Federal  Deposit
         Insurance  Company have  filed summary  judgment  motions  against each
         other concerning ownership of the Equipment (the "Other Party Claims").
         As of the date of this  Quarterly  Report,  the District  Court has not
         ruled on (i) the Company's motion or (2) any of the Other Party Claims.

         Also  see  Note 2 to  Notes to  Financial  Statements  for  information
         concerning how the Company applied the settlement proceeds.

         (b) PAINEWEBBER CLASS ACTION.  The Company is not aware of any material
         developments  with  respect to this matter since the filing of the 1995
         Form 10-K.

         (c) OTHER.  The Company is also involved in routine  legal  proceedings
         incidental  to the conduct of its  business.  Management  believes that
         none of these legal  proceedings will have a material adverse effect on
         the financial condition or operations of the Company.

         (b) STOCK  REPURCHASE.  The Company on August 28,  1995,  approved  and
         announced a stock repurchase  program.  The Company has authority under
         the stock  repurchase  program to  repurchase  up to 500,000  shares of
         stock  from  time to time in the  open  market.  As of the date of this
