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 (loss) 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 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 a net loss of $34,000 and a net income of $25,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to a net income of $41,000 and $209,000 during the same periods in 1996. The decrease in earnings is attributable to a decline in earnings from joint ventures. The decrease in total revenues of $82,000 and $203,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods 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 $79,000 and $178,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. The decrease in earnings from joint ventures will be further discussed under "Joint Ventures". An additional factor contributing to the decline in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996, is the absence of a gain on sale of securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership reported a gain on sale of securities of $11,000. This gain on sale of securities was a result of the Partnership selling a portion of its investment in Storage Technology Corporation common stock, receiving proceeds from the sale of $47,000. Total expenses decreased by $7,000 and $19,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996, primarily as a result of a decline in general and administrative expenses of $4,000 and $14,000, respectively. 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 $79,000 and $178,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to the same periods in the previous year. This decline in earnings from joint ventures for both periods in 1997 is attributable to an equipment joint venture recording provisions for additional depreciation and losses on notes receivable. Additionally, earnings from joint ventures were higher than usual for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 due to a foreclosed cable system joint venture selling the assets of its cable system at a gain. Such an event did not occur during 1997. Page 9 of 11 Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership reported net cash used by leasing and financing activities of $28,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to net cash used by leasing and financing activities of $63,000 for the same period in 1996. The improvement in net cash generated by leasing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to 1996, is due to no payment being made in 1997 to the General Partner for its liquidation fees. At September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership's remaining equipment was held for lease. The equipment held for lease has a purchase price of $251,000 and a net book value of $0 at September 30, 1997, compared to $668,000 and $0 at September 30, 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 $233,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in the prior year. Distributions from joint ventures were higher than usual during 1996 as a result of an increase in cash available for distributions from the Partnership's only foreclosed cable system joint venture. This foreclosed cable system joint venture sold the assets of its cable television system and ceased operations during 1996. The limited partners received cash distributions of $403,000 and $807,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The General Partner did not receive cash distributions for the periods ended September 30, 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.
