               Item 5.         Other Events

                       On November 23, 1998, Sierra Fund 4, L.L.C.  disseminated
               a letter  stating  its  interest in  acquiring  up to 4.9% of the
               outstanding  units of  limited  partnership  interests  in Enstar
               Income Program II-1, L.P. (the  "Registrant") for a price of $200
               per unit.  This offer was made without the consent or involvement
               of the  Registrant's  Corporate  General  Partner.  The Corporate
               General  Partner has considered  the offer,  concluded that it is
               inadequate and,  accordingly,  recommended  that limited partners
               not accept the offer.  Pursuant to Rule 14e-2  promulgated  under
               the   Securities   Exchange  Act  of  1934,   as  amended,   this
               recommendation and the Corporate General Partner's bases therefor
               were conveyed to limited  partners in a letter dated December 10,
               1998 which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated  herein
               by this reference.

                       Forward-looking  statements  contained  or referred to in
               this report are made  pursuant to the safe harbor  provisions  of
               Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
               Investors  are  cautioned  that such  forward-looking  statements
               involve risks and uncertainties  including,  without  limitation,
               the effects of legislative and regulatory changes;  the potential
               of  increased   levels  of  competition   for  the   Partnership;
               technological   changes;   the   Partnership's   dependence  upon
               third-party programming;  the absence of unitholder participation
               in  the  governance  and  management  of  the  Partnership;   the
               management  fees payable to the Corporate  General  Partner;  the
               exoneration  and  indemnification  provisions  contained  in  the
               Partnership  agreement relating to the Corporate General Partner;
               other  potential  conflicts of interest  involving  the Corporate
               General Partner and its affiliate;  and other risks detailed from
               time to time in the Partnership's  Annual Report on Form 10-K and
               other periodic reports filed with the Commission.
