Item 1. Business.
General Development of Business.
Phoenix High Tech/High Yield Fund, a California limited partnership
(the "Partnership"), was organized on July 26, 1988. The Partnership was
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission with an effective date of
November 10, 1988 and shall continue to operate until its termination date
unless dissolved sooner due to the sale of substantially all of the assets of
the Partnership or a vote of the Limited Partners. The Partnership will
terminate on December 31, 1999. The General Partner is Phoenix Leasing
Incorporated, a California corporation. The General Partner or its affiliates
also is or has been a general partner in several other limited partnerships
formed to invest in capital equipment and other assets.
The initial public offering was for 25,000 units of limited partnership
interest at a price of $1,000 per unit. The Partnership had the option of
increasing the public offering up to a maximum of 50,000 units. The Partnership
sold 7,526 units for a total capitalization of $7,526,000. Of the proceeds
received through the offering, the Partnership has incurred $967,837 in
organizational and offering expenses. The initial public offering was completed
on November 10, 1990.
From the initial formation of the Partnership through December 31,
1995, the total investments in equipment leases and financing transactions
(loans) approximate $7,394,000. The average initial firm term of contractual
payments from equipment subject to lease was 45.20 months, and the average
initial net monthly payment rate as a percentage of the original purchase price
was 2.95%. The average initial firm term of contractual payments from loans was
61.96 months. These leases and loans have been concentrated primarily in the
manufacturing and telecommunications industries.
Summary of Business Activities.
The Partnership has engaged in diverse activities in which the General
Partner has had considerable experience. These areas include leasing and
financing activities for venture capital-backed emerging growth companies,
financing and leasing activities for cable television system operators and
related businesses, and other general leasing and financing activities. Set
forth below is a summary of these activities.
Emerging Growth Company Activities (Venture Financing). One of the
major purposes of the Partnership is to lease and finance various types of
capital equipment, primarily to emerging growth companies. The types of
equipment in which the Partnership has invested include various types of high
technology equipment such as semiconductor production and test equipment,
general electronic production equipment, computer terminals, data processing
systems, computer communications equipment and medical equipment, as well as
office, manufacturing and other types of capital equipment. The Partnership has
also entered into arrangements to provide secured financings, including
financings of accounts receivable and inventories, to emerging growth companies.
The emerging growth companies with which the Partnership has
entered into leases or financing transactions are located throughout the United
States and its possessions and are engaged in a variety of businesses for the
provision of products or services. Such companies are in the start-up or early
phases of operation with, in most cases, at least one round of venture capital
debt or equity financing having been concluded prior to the Partnership's
investment.
Cable Television System Leasing and Financing (Cable Financing). The
other major purpose of the Partnership is to make secured loans to operators of
cable television systems for the acquisition, refinancing, construction, upgrade
and extension of such systems in the United States, its possessions and its
military bases. In addition, the Partnership has acquired cable television and
related equipment and leases such equipment to third parties.
Page 4 of 27
Loans to cable system operators are secured by a senior or
subordinated lien on the assets of the cable television system, its franchise,
contracts and related assets, including its subscriber list. Various types of
cable television and related equipment acquired by the Partnership and leased or
financed to third parties throughout the United States, its possessions and
military bases will be leased or financed on a long-term basis.
Several of the cable television system operators the Partnership
provided financing to have experienced financial difficulties. These
difficulties are believed to have been caused by several factors. Some of these
factors are: a significant reduction in the availability of debt from banks and
other financial institutions to finance the acquisition and operations,
uncertainties related to future government regulation in the cable television
industry and the economic recession in the United States. These factors have
resulted in a significant decline in the demand for the acquisition of cable
systems and have further caused an overall decrease in the value of many cable
television systems. As a result of the above, many of the Partnership's notes
receivable from cable television system operators have gone into default. The
result is that the Partnership has not received scheduled payments, has had to
grant loan extensions, has experienced an increase in legal and collection costs
and in some cases, has had to foreclose on the cable television system. The
impact of this has been a decrease in the overall return on the Partnership's
investments in such notes.
The Partnership has obtained an ownership interest in several cable
system joint ventures that it obtained through foreclosure. These cable systems
currently generate a positive monthly cash flow and provided cash distributions
to the Partnership during 1995 and 1994. The cable systems are managed and
operated by an affiliate of the General Partner.
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership is engaged in the equipment leasing and financing
industry and as such, does not own or operate any principal plants, mines or
real property. The primary assets held by the Partnership are its investments in
leases and loans.
As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership owns equipment and has
outstanding loans to borrowers with an aggregate original cost of $2,555,000.
The equipment and loans have been made to customers located throughout the
United States. The following table summarizes the type of equipment owned or
financed by the Partnership.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
Phoenix High Tech/High Yield Fund (the Partnership) reported a net loss
of $558,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to net income
of $163,000 and $243,000 during 1994 and 1993, respectively. The net loss during
1995 is mainly attributable to a provision for losses on receivables of $563,000
recognized during 1995. The decrease in net income during 1994, as compared to
1993, is attributable to a decrease in interest income from notes receivable.
Total revenues decreased by $134,000 during 1995, as compared to 1994.
This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in earned income from
financing leases of $43,000 and the absence of a gain on sale of marketable
securities, as compared to the gain on sale of marketable securities of $64,000
during 1994. The increase in interest income from notes receivable of $32,000
during 1995, as compared to 1994, was the result of the payoffs of two notes
receivable from cable television system operators that had been classified as
impaired. The Partnership had suspended the accrual of interest income on these
notes. Upon the payoff, the proceeds were first applied to the outstanding
principal and accrued interest, with the excess recognized as interest income.
On one of these notes, the Partnership received a settlement payoff in excess of
the net carrying value, thereby recognizing interest income for the excess.
Total revenues decreased by $427,000 during 1994, as compared to 1993,
primarily due to decreases in interest income from notes receivable and rental
income. The primary factor contributing to the decrease of interest income from
notes receivable during 1994, when compared to 1993, is the Partnership's
remaining notes receivable being classified as impaired and the Partnership
suspending the recognition of interest income on such notes.
Total expenses increased by $587,000 during 1995, but decreased by
$347,000 during 1994, as compared to the same periods in the previous year. The
increase in expenses during 1995, as compared to 1994, is due to an increase in
the provision for losses on receivables. This provision was deemed necessary
pursuant to the review of the Partnership's remaining note receivable to a cable
television system operator. The decrease in total expenses during 1994, as
compared to 1993, is attributable to a decrease in depreciation expense and
provision for losses on receivables. As of December 31, 1994, a majority of the
equipment was fully depreciated.
Inflation affects the Partnership in relation to the current cost of
equipment placed on lease and the residual values realized when the equipment
comes off lease and is sold. During the last several years inflation has been
low, thereby having very little impact upon the Partnership.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary source of liquidity comes from its
contractual obligations with lessees and borrowers to receive rental payments
and payments of principal and interest. As the initial lease terms of the leases
expire, the Partnership will re-lease or sell the equipment. The future
liquidity of the Partnership will depend upon the General Partner's success in
collecting scheduled contractual payments from its lessees and borrowers.
Additionally, the Partnership has investments in foreclosed cable systems joint
ventures from which it receives cash distributions of the excess cash generated
by operations. The Partnership will also receive a share of the cash when the
cable television system is sold.
The cash generated by leasing and financing activities was $699,000
during 1995, as compared to $641,000 and $1,240,000 during 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The increase in cash generated by leasing and financing activities
during 1995 was due to the increase in payments from notes receivable. During
1995, the Partnership received settlement payoffs from two defaulted notes
receivable. The decrease in cash generated by leasing and financing activities
during 1994, was due to a reduction in payments from notes receivable.
As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership owned equipment being held for
lease with an original cost of $89,000 and a net book value of $0, as compared
to $244,000 and $4,000 at December 31, 1994. The General Partner is actively
engaged, on behalf of the Partnership, in remarketing and selling the
Partnership's equipment as it becomes available.
The cash distributed to partners was $816,000, $1,362,000 and $779,000
during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In accordance with the Partnership
Agreement, the Limited Partners are entitled to 99% of the cash available for
distribution and the General Partner is entitled to 1%. As a result, the Limited
Partners received $808,000, $1,349,000 and $771,000 in distributions during
Page 7 of 27
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The cumulative cash distributions to limited
partners are $5,557,000, $4,749,000 and $3,400,000 at December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. The General Partner received $8,000, $13,000 and $8,000
for its share of the cash distributions during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
The Partnership made a quarterly distribution to partners on January
15, 1996 and plans to make another quarterly distribution to partners on April
15, 1996 at the same rate as the July 15, 1995 distribution. However, the
Partnership will switch to an annual distribution method thereafter, with the
first annual distribution to be made on January 15, 1997. The Partnership's
ability to distribute cash to partners is dependent upon the Partnership
receiving its contractual payments from notes receivable and financing leases.
If the cash generated by Partnership operations decrease below expectations, the
distributions to partners will be adjusted accordingly.
Cash generated from leasing and financing operations has been and is
anticipated to continue to be sufficient to meet the Partnership's continuing
operational expenses.

PHOENIX HIGH TECH/HIGH YIELD FUND,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
Note 1. Organization and Partnership Matters.
Phoenix High Tech/High Yield Fund (the "Partnership"), was formed as a
California limited partnership on July 26, 1988. The initial Limited Partner
capital contribution of $1,000 was made by Phoenix Leasing Incorporated (the
"General Partner"). The Partnership's primary business objectives are: (1)
leasing and financing various types of capital equipment, primarily to and for
emerging growth companies and, in some cases, making secured loans to such
companies; (2) making secured loans to operators of cable television systems for
acquisition, refinancing, construction, upgrade and extension of cable
television systems; and (3) engaging in other types of leasing and financing
arrangements, including entering into equipment purchase and remarketing
agreements with various manufacturers of equipment and software available for
leasing or licensing by the Partnership.
The Partnership has also made investments in joint ventures with
affiliated partnerships managed by the General Partner for the purpose of
spreading the risks of financing or acquiring certain capital equipment leased
to third parties (see Note 6).
For financial reporting purposes, Partnership income is allocated as
follows: First, to the General Partner until the cumulative income so allocated
is equal to the cumulative distributions to the General Partner. Second, 1% to
the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners until the cumulative income
so allocated is equal to any cumulative Partnership loss and syndication
expenses, and the balance, if any, to the Limited Partners. All Partnership
losses are allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.
Syndication expenses are specially allocated one percent to the General Partner
and 99% to the Limited Partners.
Distributions. The General Partner intends to make quarterly
distributions throughout the life of the Partnership. Additionally, in order to
provide funds for Partnership investments, while still providing cash
distributions for Limited Partners to pay any resulting tax liability from the
Partnership, the General Partner anticipates that for investors admitted as
Limited Partners in 1989, the distributions made in 1990 through 1992, and for
investors admitted in 1990, the distributions made in 1991 through 1993 were in
an amount at least equal to approximately 40% of the taxable income of the
Partnership allocated to such Limited Partner for the prior year (that is, the
estimated tax liability attributed to an investment in the Partnership), or 4%
of such Limited Partner's original capital contribution, prorated for any
partial year, whichever was greater. The General Partner is entitled to receive
1% of all distributions until the Limited Partners have recovered their initial
capital contributions plus a return of 16% per annum, compounded annually, on
their unrecovered capital contributions (the "Priority Return"). Thereafter,
cash available for distribution will be distributed 20% to the General Partner
and 80% to the Limited Partners.
Bonus Distribution. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, upon the
15th of the calendar month following the earlier of (1) the Partnership raising
$10,000,000, or (2) the date 12 months from the date of release of funds from
the impound account, the Partnership made a bonus distribution to the Limited
Partners who have purchased units prior to that time. The bonus distribution was
calculated at 12% per annum (prorated for any partial year) of each Limited
Partner's capital account. In October of 1990, the General Partner made a
$571,000 capital contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the bonus
distribution and has acquired 571 units as a Limited Partner in return for such
contribution. Distributions pursuant to the bonus distribution will count
towards the Priority Return.
In the event the General Partner has a deficit balance in its capital
account at the time of Partnership liquidation, it will be required to
contribute the amount of such deficit to the Partnership.
As compensation for services performed in connection with the analysis
of equipment available to the Partnership and analysis of financing
transactions, the General Partner receives an acquisition and loan placement fee
equal to 4% of (a) the purchase price of equipment acquired by the Partnership,
(b) financing provided to businesses such as emerging growth companies or cable
television system operators, or (c) the purchase price of equipment leased by
manufacturers, the financing for which is provided by the Partnership, in each
case payable upon such acquisition or loan transaction, as the case may be. In
addition, as compensation for management services, the General Partner receives
Page 15 of 27
a management fee payable quarterly equal to 3.5% of the Partnership's gross
revenues. Such revenues include loan payments, rental receipts, proceeds from
the sale of equipment and other income (other than interest income from
short-term, temporary investments). Acquisition fees are amortized over the
average expected life of the assets, principally on a straight-line basis.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Leasing Operations. The Partnership's leasing operations consist of
financing and operating leases. The financing method of accounting for leases
records as unearned income at the inception of the lease, the excess of net
rentals receivable and estimated residual value at the end of the lease term,
over the cost of equipment leased. Unearned income is credited to income monthly
over the term of the lease on a declining basis to provide an approximate level
rate of return on the unrecovered cost of the investment. Direct costs of
consummating new leases are capitalized and included in the cost.
Under the operating method of accounting for leases, the leased
equipment is recorded as an asset at cost and depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life, ranging up to seven years.
The Partnership's policy is to review periodically the expected
economic life of its rental equipment in order to determine the probability of
recovering its undepreciated cost. Such reviews address, among other things,
recent and anticipated technological developments affecting high technology
equipment and competitive factors within the high technology marketplace.
Although remarketing rental rates are expected to decline in the future with
respect to some of the Partnership's rental equipment, such rentals are expected
to exceed projected expenses, including depreciation. When subsequent reviews of
the equipment portfolio indicate that rentals plus anticipated sales proceeds
will not exceed expenses in any future period, the Partnership revises its
depreciation policy as appropriate. As a result of such periodic reviews, the
Partnership recognized additional depreciation expense of $0, $0 and $96,000
($0, $0 and $12.82 per limited partnership unit) for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Rental income for the year is determined on the basis of rental
payments due for the period under the terms of the lease. Maintenance and
repairs of the leased equipment are charged to expense.
Portfolio Valuation Methodology. The Partnership uses the portfolio
method of accounting for the net realizable value of the Partnership's equipment
portfolio.
Investments. Investments in net assets of the foreclosed cable systems
joint ventures reflect the Partnership's equity basis in the ventures. Under the
equity method of accounting, the original investment is recorded at cost and is
adjusted periodically to recognize the Partnership's share of earnings, losses,
cash contributions and cash distributions after the date of acquisition.
Investment in Marketable Securities Available for Sale. The Partnership
has investments in stock warrants in public companies that have been determined
to be available for sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at their fair
market value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate
component of partners' capital.
Non-Cash Investing Activity. On September 20, 1995, the Partnership
foreclosed upon a nonperforming outstanding note receivable to a cable
television system operator to whom the Partnership, along with other affiliated
partnerships managed by the General Partner, had extended credit. The
partnerships' notes receivable were exchanged for interests (their capital
contribution), on a pro rata basis, in a newly formed joint venture owned by the
partnerships and managed by the General Partner. The amount of the outstanding
note receivable that was contributed to the joint venture was $94,000.

Financial Accounting Pronouncements. In March 1995, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of," which requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for
recoverability, the entity would estimate the future cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.
Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and identifiable
intangibles that an entity expects to hold and use should be based on the fair
value of the asset. Statement No. 121 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Partnership does not expect
the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial
position and results of operations. The Partnership plans to adopt Statement No.
121 on January 1, 1996.
On January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan," and Statement No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
- - Income Recognition and Disclosures." Statement No. 114 requires that certain
impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; or, alternatively, at the
loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
is collateral dependent. Prior to 1995, the allowance for losses on notes
receivable was based on the undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of the
collateral dependent loans. At January 1, 1995, the adoption of Statements 114
and 118 had no effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.
Reclassification. Certain 1994 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the 1995 presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. This includes deposits at banks, investments
in money market funds and other highly liquid short-term investments with
original maturities of less than 90 days.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

(Amounts in Thousands)
Notes receivable from cable television
system operators with interest ranging
from 14% to 18% per annum, receivable in
installments ranging from 59 to 96 months
through October 1997, collateralized by a
security interest in the cable system assets.
These notes have a graduated repayment
schedule followed by a balloon payment. $ 1,287 $ 1,887
Less: allowance for losses on notes receivable (706) (202)
------- -------
Total $ 581 $ 1,685
======= =======
The Partnership's notes receivable from cable television system
operators provide for a monthly payment rate in an amount that is less than the
contractual interest rate. The difference between the payment rate and the
contractual interest rate was added to the principal and therefore deferred
until the maturity date of the note. Upon maturity of the note, the original
principal and deferred interest is due and payable in full. Although the
contractual interest rates may be higher, due to a high degree of uncertainty
relating to the collection of the entire amount of the contractually owed
interest, the Partnership limited the amount of interest being recognized on its
performing notes receivable to the amount of the payments received, thereby
deferring the recognition of a portion of the deferred interest until such time
as management believes it will be realized.
Generally, notes receivable are classified as impaired and the accrual
of interest on such notes are discontinued when the contractual payment of
principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious
doubts about further collectibility of the contractual payments. Any payments
received subsequent to the placement of the note receivable on to impaired
status will generally be applied towards the reduction of the outstanding note
receivable balance, which may include previously accrued interest as well as
principal. Once the principal and accrued interest balance has been reduced to
zero, the remaining payments will be applied to interest income.
At December 31, 1995, the recorded investments in notes that are
considered to be impaired under Statement 114 was $1,287,000 for which the
related allowance for losses is $706,000. The average recorded investment in
impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1995 was approximately
$1,564,000.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership received a
settlement on one of its notes receivable from a cable television system
operator which was considered to be impaired under Statement No. 114. The
Partnership received a partial recovery of $40,000 as a settlement which was
applied towards the $58,000 outstanding note receivable balance. The remaining
balance of $18,000 was written-off through its related allowance for loan
losses. The related allowance for loan losses for this note receivable was
provided for in a previous year in an amount equal to the carrying value of the
note. Upon receipt of the settlement of this note receivable, the Partnership
reduced the allowance for loan losses by $37,000 during the year ended December
31, 1995. This reduction in the allowance for loan losses was recognized as a
negative provision for loan losses during the period.
The Partnership received a settlement from another impaired note
receivable and foreclosed upon the assets of another note receivable from a
cable television system operator during the year ended December 31, 1995.
The activity in the allowance for losses on notes receivable during the
years ended December 31, is as follows:

Note 5. Equipment on Operating Leases and Investment in Financing Leases.
Equipment on lease consists of capital equipment leased to emerging
growth and cable television companies subject to operating and financing leases.
The Partnership's equipment on operating leases is fully depreciated.
The Partnership has also entered into direct lease arrangements with
certain lessees concentrated in the following industries: 6% communications, 3%
retail and 91% manufacturing. Generally, it is the responsibility of the lessee
to provide maintenance on leased equipment. The General Partner administers the
equipment portfolio of leases acquired through the direct leasing program.
Administration includes the collection of rents from the lessees and remarketing
of the equipment.

Note 6. Investment in Joint Ventures.
Foreclosed Cable Systems Joint Ventures
The Partnership owns an interest in foreclosed cable systems joint
ventures, along with other partnerships managed by the General Partner and its
affiliates. The Partnership foreclosed upon nonperforming outstanding notes
receivable to cable television operators to whom the Partnership, along with
other affiliated partnerships managed by the General Partner, had extended
credit. The partnerships' notes receivables were exchanged for interests (their
capital contribution), on a pro rata basis, in newly formed joint ventures owned
by the partnerships and managed by the General Partner. Title to the cable
television systems is held by the joint ventures. These investments are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Note 9. Related Entities.
The General Partner and its affiliates also are, or have been a general
partner in other limited partnerships, most of which are generally engaged in
the equipment leasing business, but some of which provide financing to emerging
growth companies and operators of cable television systems.
Note 10. Reimbursed Costs to the General Partner.
The General Partner incurs certain administrative costs, such as data
processing, investor and lessee communications, lease administration,
accounting, equipment storage and equipment remarketing, for which it is
reimbursed by the Partnership. These expenses incurred by the General Partner
are to be reimbursed at the lower of the actual costs or an amount equal to 90%
of the fair market value for such services.
The reimbursed administrative costs to the General Partner were
$17,000, $23,000 and $27,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively. The equipment storage, remarketing and data processing costs
reimbursed to the General Partner during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993 were $0, $2,000 and $9,000, respectively.
In addition, the General Partner receives a management fee and an
acquisition fee for services rendered in connection with equipment acquisitions
(see Note 1).
Note 11. Net Income (Loss) and Distributions per Limited Partnership Unit.
Net income and distributions per limited partnership unit were based on
the Limited Partners' share of net income and distributions, and the weighted
average number of units outstanding of 7,526 for the years ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993. For the purposes of allocating income (loss) and
distributions to each individual Limited Partner, the Partnership allocates net
income (loss) and distributions based upon each respective Limited Partner's
ending capital account balance.
Note 12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," which requires disclosure of the fair value of
financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each
class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that
value.
Page 22 of 27
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because
of the short maturity of these instruments.
Notes Receivable
The fair value of notes receivable is estimated based on the lesser of the
discounted expected future cash flows using the current rates at which similar
loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings, or the estimated
fair value of the underlying collateral. Please refer to footnote 4 for a
description of the Partnership's accounting policies on notes receivable which
contribute to the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value.
Marketable Securities
The fair values of investments in marketable securities are estimated based on
quoted market prices.
The estimated fair values of the Partnership's financial instruments at
December 31, 1995 are as follows:
