NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. General.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Partnership in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes included in the Partnership's Financial Statement, as filed with the
SEC in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.
Note 2. Reclassification.
Reclassification - Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 1997 presentation.
Note 3. Income Taxes.
Federal and state income tax regulations provide that taxes on the
income or loss of the Partnership are reportable by the partners in their
individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for such taxes has been
made in the accompanying financial statements.
Note 4. Net Income (Loss) and Distribution 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 three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996. For purposes of allocating net income (loss) and
distributions to each individual limited partner, the Partnership allocates net
income (loss) and distributions based upon each respective limited partner's net
capital contributions.
Note 5. Investment in Joint Ventures.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Results of Operations
The Partnership reported net income of $44,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, as compared to net income of $37,000 for the same period in
1996. The increase in net income during the three months ended March 31, 1997,
as compared to the same period in 1996, is attributable to a gain on sale of
securities of $50,000.
Total revenues increased by $2,000 during the three months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. This increase was primarily the
result of a gain on sale of securities of $50,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1997. The gain on sale of securities is due to the exercise and sale
of stock warrants held by the Partnership.
The gain on sale of securities is partially offset by declines in earned
income from financing leases, equity in earnings from joint ventures and gain on
sale of equipment for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in
earned income from financing leases during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 of
$8,000 is attributable to the declining net investment in financing leases. The
net investment in financing leases at March 31, 1997 is $65,000, as compared to
$253,000 at March 31, 1996.
The decline in earnings from joint ventures of $30,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996 is due to earnings
from joint ventures being higher than usual during the three months ended March
31, 1996. The higher earnings in 1996 was a result of a sale of a cable
television system owned by one of the foreclosed cable systems joint ventures.
Such an event did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 1997.
The Partnership reported a gain on sale of equipment of $12,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $0 at March 31, 1997. The absence
of a gain on sale of equipment in 1997 is a result of no sales activity during
the quarter. The Partnership sold equipment with an aggregate original cost of
$61,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Total expenses decreased by $5,000 during the three months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease in expenses during
the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996,
is primarily due to a decline in legal expense of $4,000. The decrease in legal
expense during 1997 is due to a decline in legal costs attributable to the
Partnership's impaired note receivable.
This note receivable was paid off during 1996.
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. 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
Page 8 of 10
foreclosed cable systems joint ventures that it receives cash distributions of
the excess cash flows.
The cash generated by leasing and financing activities was $75,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $61,000 during the same
period in 1996. The increase in net cash generated by leasing and financing
activities for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is due to the receipt of an
outstanding receivable.
The Partnership did not receive cash distributions from joint ventures
during the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $64,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1996. The cash received from distributions from
joint ventures during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was attributable to a
foreclosed cable systems joint venture distributing proceeds from the sale of
its cable television system.
The Partnership owned equipment being held for lease with an original cost
of $89,000 and a net book value of $0 at March 31, 1996 and 1995. 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 $1,169,000 and $142,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, 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 $1,157,000 and $141,000 in distributions
during the period ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The cumulative
cash distributions to limited partners are $6,995,000 and $5,698,000 at March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The General Partner received $12,000 and $1,000
for its share of the cash distributions during the period ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively.
The increase in distributions to partners is a result of the Partnership
switching to an annual distribution method from a quarterly distribution method
with the first annual distribution being made on January 15, 1997. The
distribution on April 15, 1996 was the last scheduled quarterly distribution
made by the Partnership. An additional factor contributing to the increase in
distributions to partners during the three months ended March 31, 1997 is the
receipt of a settlement payment on an impaired note during the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, the Partnership included these proceeds in the January 15,
1997 distribution to partners. The Partnership's ability to distribute cash to
partners is dependent upon the Partnership receiving its contractual payments
from 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.
