---------------------
The accompanying unaudited 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 the general partner, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet at
December 31, 1996 has been derived from the audited financial statements
included in the Partnership's 10-K. For further information, refer to the
financial statements of Capital Preferred Yield Fund, A California Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"), and the related notes, included in the

The Partnership is in its liquidation period as defined in the Partnership
Agreement and, as expected, the Partnership is not purchasing additional
equipment, initial leases are expiring and the equipment is being remarketed
(i.e., re-leased, renewed, or sold). As a result, both the size of the
Partnership's leasing portfolio and the amount of leasing revenue are declining
(referred to in this discussion as "portfolio runoff").

LEASING MARGIN, continued
The components of leasing margin have declined and are expected to decline
further due to portfolio run-off. Leasing margin ratio increased primarily due
to (i) remarketing activities, and (ii) because a portion of the Partnership's
portfolio consists of operating leases financed with non-recourse debt
(including both discounted lease rentals and financed operating lease rentals).
Leasing margin and the related leasing margin ratio for an operating lease
financed with non-recourse debt increases during the term of the lease since
rents and depreciation are typically fixed while interest expense declines as
the related non-recourse debt is repaid.
The ultimate rate of return on leases depends, in part, on the general level of
interest rates at the time the leases are originated. Because leasing is an
alternative to financing equipment purchases with debt, lease rates tend to rise
and fall with interest rates (although lease rate movements generally lag
interest rate changes in the capital markets). Interest rates declined from 1990
until the early part of 1994. The lease rates on equipment purchased by the
Partnership during this period reflect this low interest rate environment. This
will result in corresponding reductions in the ultimate overall yields to the
partners. Annual average 5-year U.S. Treasury yields for the past seven years
were as follows:

- ---------------------
EQUIPMENT SALES MARGIN, continued
The Partnership is in it's liquidation period. During the liquidation period, as
initial leases terminate, the equipment is being remarketed (i.e., re-leased or
sold to either the original lessee or a third party) and, accordingly, the
timing and amount of equipment sales cannot be projected accurately.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income decreased due to a decrease in cash available for investment as
the Partnership is in liquidation and therefore distributing excess cash to the
limited partners.
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 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.
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
Partnership 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 Partnership'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 Partnership
performs ongoing quarterly assessments of its assets to identify
other-than-temporary losses.
The provision for losses recorded for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
primarily related to lessees returning mining equipment and material handling
equipment to the Partnership. The Partnership had previously expected to realize
the carrying value of this equipment through lease renewals and proceeds from
the sale of the equipment to the original lessees. The fair market value of the
equipment re-leased or sold to a third party was less than anticipated.
The provision for losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 1996
was primarily related to the following:
- - $150,000 related to a lessee returning an aircraft to the Partnership,
- - $130,000 related to equipment under lease returned to the Partnership by a
lessee experiencing severe financial difficulties,
- - $95,000 related to lessees returning modular buildings, computer
equipment, a telephone system and hospital equipment to the Partnership.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES, continued
The Partnership had previously expected to realize the carrying value of this
equipment through lease renewals and proceeds from sale of the equipment to the
original lessee. The fair market value of the equipment re-leased or sold to a
third party was considerably less than anticipated.
EXPENSES
Management fees paid to the general partner decreased primarily as a result of
portfolio run-off.
Direct services from the general partner increased primarily due to
administrative costs incurred by the general partner in the remarketing of
warehoused equipment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Partnership funds its operating activities principally with cash from rents,
non-recourse debt, interest income and sales of off-lease equipment. Available
cash and cash reserves of the Partnership are invested in interest bearing cash
accounts and short-term U.S. Government securities pending distributions to the
partners.
During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership declared
distributions to the partners of $2,359,166 ($1,058,795 of which was paid during
April 1997). A substantial portion of such distributions constituted a return of
capital for accounting purposes. Distributions may be characterized for tax,
accounting and economic purposes as a return of capital, a return on capital or
both. The portion of each cash distribution by a partnership which exceeds its
net income for the fiscal period may be deemed a return of capital. However, the
total percentage of a partnership's return on capital over it's life can only be
determined after all residual cash flows (which include proceeds from the
re-leasing and sale of equipment after the initial lease terms expire) have been
realized at the termination of the Partnership.
The general partners currently anticipate that the Partnership will generate
cash flow from operations and equipment sales during the remainder of 1997
which, when added to cash and cash equivalents on hand, should provide
sufficient cash to enable the Partnership to meet its current operating
requirements.

CAPITAL PREFERRED YIELD FUND

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued
- -------------------------------
The Partnership anticipates that it will fund the remaining 1997 distributions
to the limited partners (a substantial portion of which is expected to
constitute returns of capital for accounting purposes) out of cash from
operations and cash from sales during the remainder of 1997. Because of
portfolio runoff, it is anticipated that cash from operations in 1997 will
decrease relative to cash from operations in 1996. Therefore, the Partnership is
not expected to have sufficient cash available in 1997 to fully fund cash
distributions to the Class A limited partners at annualized rates of 13% (see
discussion below). The Partnership is in its liquidation period (as defined in
the Partnership Agreement) and distributions during the liquidation period will
be based upon cash availability and will vary and all distributions are expected
bo be a return of capital for economic purposes.
The Class B distributions of cash from operations are subordinated to the Class
A limited partners receiving distributions of cash from operations, as scheduled
in the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 13%). Therefore, because of the anticipated
decrease in distributions to the Class A limited partners, CAII, the sole Class
B limited partner, will cease receiving distributions of cash from operations at
some point during 1997. The general partners currently anticipate that CAII will
receive total future Class B distributions equal to approximately 25% of the
Class B limited partner's capital shown on the accompanying Balance Sheets.
