Page 5 of 11 PHOENIX LEASING GROWTH FUND 1982 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 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 40,343 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. For 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. The use of this method accurately reflects each limited partner's participation in the partnership including reinvestment through the Capital Accumulation Plan. As a result, the calculation of net income (loss) and distributions per limited partnership unit is not indicative of per unit income (loss) and distributions due to reinvestments through the Capital Accumulation Plan.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Phoenix Leasing Growth Fund 1982 (the Partnership) reported net income of $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to net income of $111,000 during the same period in 1996. The decrease in net income is attributable to a decline in earnings from joint ventures. The decrease in total revenues of $100,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996, is the result of a decline in all revenue items with equity in earnings from joint ventures causing the most significant of the decline in total revenues of $95,000. The decrease in earnings from joint ventures will be further discussed under "Joint Ventures". Total expenses decreased by $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to 1996 as a result of a decline in general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of postage, printing and insurance costs. Joint Ventures The Partnership has made investments in various equipment and financing joint ventures along with other affiliated partnerships managed by the General Partner for the purpose of spreading the risk of investing in certain equipment leasing and financing transactions. These joint ventures are not currently making any significant additional investments in new equipment leasing or financing transactions. As a result, the earnings and cash flow from such investments are anticipated to continue to decline as the portfolios are re-leased at lower rental rates and eventually liquidated. Earnings from joint ventures decreased by $95,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same period in the previous year. Earnings from joint ventures were higher than usual for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 due to the sale of a cable system at a gain in one of the foreclosed cable systems joint ventures. Such an event did not occur during 1997. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership reported net cash used by leasing and financing activities of $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to net cash provided by leasing and financing activities of $7,000 for the same period in 1996. The reduction in net cash generated by leasing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to 1996, is a result of an absence in rental income. The Partnership's remaining equipment is being held for lease. As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership owned equipment held for lease with a purchase price of $257,000 and a net book value of $0 compared to $719,000 and $0 at March 31, 1996. The General Partner is actively engaged, on behalf of the Partnership, in remarketing and selling the Partnership's off- lease equipment portfolio. Distributions from joint ventures declined by $169,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same period in the prior year. Distributions from joint ventures were higher than usual during 1996 as a result Page 9 of 11 of an increase in cash available for distributions from the Partnership's only foreclosed cable system joint venture as a result of the sale of its cable television system. The limited partners received cash distributions of $403,000 and $807,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. As a result, the cumulative cash distributions to the limited partners are $38,870,000 and $38,467,000 as of March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The General Partner did not receive cash distributions for the periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The distribution made on January 15, 1997 was made at a lower rate than the 1996 distribution. The Partnership will reach the end of its term on December 31, 1997, at which time it will liquidate its remaining assets and make a final distribution to partners of the excess cash, if any. The Partnership currently does not anticipate making any further distribution to partners until the termination of the Partnership. 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.
