Non-recourse debt: Notes payable to financial institutions are due in varying monthly, quarterly and semi-annual installments of principal and interest.

Commitments, management and report of fees: The terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership provide that the General Partners and/or Affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees. The General Partners and/or Affiliates earned partnership and equipment management fees of $171,722 in 1995 and $119,181 in 1996, as permitted in the Agreement of Limited Partnership . Page 8 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Capital Resources and Liquidity Partnership cash which has been received, but which has not yet been invested in leased equipment or distributed to partners, is invested in interest-bearing accounts or high-quality/short-term commercial paper. The Partnership's primary source of liquidity is cash received from lease rentals. The liquidity of the Partnership will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from leases exceed expenses and decreasing as lease assets are acquired, as distributions are made to the Limited Partners and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases. The Partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet contingencies, but in the event those reserves were found to be inadequate, the Partnership would likely be in a position to borrow against its current portfolio to meet such requirements. The General Partners envision no such requirements for operating purposes, nor have they explored with lenders the possibility of obtaining loans. There can be no assurance as to the terms of any such financing or that the Partnership will be able to obtain such loans. As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had borrowed approximately $21,700,000. The remaining unpaid balance on those borrowings was approximately $2,009,000. The borrowings are non-recourse to the Partnership, that is, the only recourse of the lender will be to the equipment or corresponding lease acquired with the loan proceeds. The Agreement of Limited Partnership limits such borrowings to 40% of the total cost of equipment, in aggregate. No commitments of capital have been or are expected to be made other than for the acquisition of additional equipment. At September 30, 1996, there were no such commitments. The Partnership made distributions of cash from 1996 first quarter operations in April 1996, from second quarter operations in July 1996 and from third quarter operations in October 1996. The amounts of each of the distributions were $6.50 per Unit. These distributions represent an annualized distribution rate of 5.2%. If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect the Partnership inasmuch as the residual (resale) values and rates on re-leases of the Partnership's leased assets may increase as the costs of similar assets increase. However, the Partnership's revenues from existing leases would not increase, as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without adjustment for inflation. If interest rates increase or decrease significantly, the lease rates that the Partnership can obtain on future leases will be expected to increase or decrease in parallel as the cost of capital is a significant factor in the pricing of lease financing. Leases already in place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates. Cash flows, nine months, 1996 vs. 1995 Lease revenues, the Partnership's primary source of cash, decreased by $800,437 compared to 1995. Lease revenues have declined as leases have matured and the underlying assets have been sold. Cash flows provided by investing activities decreased by $1,334,531 primarily as a result of decreased asset sales. There were no financing sources of cash in 1996. Debt principal payments have decreased due to scheduled debt payments. Page 9 Cash flows, three months, 1996 vs. 1995 For the third quarter, lease rents were the primary source of cash for the Partnership. Lease rents decreased by $242,246 compared to 1995. As noted above, the decrease is the result of assets coming off lease and being subsequently sold. Cash flows provided by investing activities increased by $217,280 due largely to increased asset sales. This was the result of a increased amount of equipment coming off lease in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 1995 and subsequent sales of that equipment. There were no financing sources of cash in 1996 or 1995. Debt principal payments decreased due to the causes noted above for the nine month period. Results of Operations The results of operations in future periods may vary significantly from those of the first nine months of 1996 as the Partnership's lease portfolio of capital equipment matures. Revenues from leases are expected to decline over the long term as leased assets come off lease and are sold or re-leased at lower lease rates. The effect on net income is not determinable as it will depend to a large degree on the amounts received from the sales of assets or from re-leases to either the same or new lessees once the initial lease terms expire. 1996 vs. 1995 Operating lease revenues decreased by $711,903 for the nine month period and $209,329 for the three month period due to lease terminations and subsequent asset sales. Direct financing lease revenues decreased by $89,898 for the nine month period and decreased by $32,300 for the three month period compared to 1995. The decreases resulted from lease terminations and asset sales. In 1995, sales of assets resulted in gains of $396,058 (nine months) and $20,601 (three months). In 1996, sales of assets resulted in gains of $51,757 for the nine month period and losses of $11,893 for the three month period. Such gains and losses are not expected to be comparable from one period to another. Depreciation expense declined by $447,172 (nine months) and $126,453 (three months) as a result of asset sales since October 1, 1995. Interest expense continues to decline in both the three and nine month periods in relation to the declining balances of debt. There have been no new borrowings in the current year. Page 10 PART II.
