                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

On December 31, 1999, the Partnership ceased reinvestment in equipment and
leases and began the orderly liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with
the partnership agreement. As a result, the unaudited financial statements have
been presented under the liquidation basis of accounting. Under the liquidation
basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values
and liabilities include estimated costs associated with carrying out the plan of
liquidation.

Management decreased its estimate of the liquidation value of net assets during
the first quarter of 2001 by $2,271,630. This decrease is primarily due to the
write-off of securities the Partnership held in Actel Integrated Communications
Inc. ("Actel") and loans to Murdock Communications Corporation ("Murdock"). On
April 11, 2001, Actel filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Partnership had a
realized loss of $947,658 to write-off the carrying value of its 421,181 shares
of Actel preferred stock. The Partnership also had a provision for possible loan
and lease losses of $910,000 to write-off its remaining carrying value of notes
receivable of Murdock. Murdock's primary asset was the preferred stock of Actel.
Another lessee of the Partnership, LIDS Corporation, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy during the quarter, resulting in a charge to the provision for
possible loan and lease losses of $200,000.

Note C -- CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
SA Communications filed a suit against the Partnership, the General Partner, and
others alleging the Partnership received a preference of approximately $45,000
prior to the filing of its petition in bankruptcy. The Partnership maintains
that it was receiving regular monthly payments and there was no preference.
Negotiations are in progress with the bankruptcy trustee. No loss, if any, has
been recorded in the financial statements with respect to this matter.

The General Partner has approximately $2,200,000 of notes payable and redeemable
preferred stock maturing in 2001 and may not have sufficient liquid assets to
repay such amounts. The General Partner is pursuing additional financing,
refinancing, and asset sales to meet its obligations. No assurance can be
provided that the General Partner will be successful in its efforts.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

On December 31, 1999, the Partnership ceased reinvestment in equipment and
leases and began the orderly liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with
the partnership agreement. As a result, the unaudited financial statements have
been presented under the liquidation basis of accounting. Under the liquidation
basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values
and liabilities include estimated costs associated with carrying out the plan of
liquidation.

As discussed above, the Partnership is in liquidation and does not believe a
comparison of results would be meaningful. The Partnership realized $62,014 in
income from direct financing leases, notes receivable, and other income during
the first quarter of 2001. This represents an annualized return on average net
assets of approximately 7.3%.

Management decreased its estimate of the liquidation value of net assets during
the first quarter of 2001 by $2,271,630. This decrease is primarily due to the
write-off of securities the Partnership held in Actel Integrated Communications
Inc. ("Actel") and loans to Murdock Communications Corporation ("Murdock"). On
April 11, 2001, Actel filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Partnership had a
realized loss of $947,658 to write-off the carrying value of its 421,181 shares
of Actel preferred stock. The Partnership also had a provision for possible loan
and lease losses of $910,000 to write-off its remaining carrying value of notes
receivable of Murdock. Murdock's primary asset was the preferred stock of Actel.
Another lessee of the Partnership, LIDS Corporation, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy during the quarter, resulting in a charge to the provision for
possible loan and lease losses of $200,000.

The Partnership has accrued the estimated expenses of liquidation, which is
$316,342 at March 31, 2001. The General Partner reviews this estimate and will
adjust quarterly, as needed.

The Partnership will continue to make distributions to the partners as leases,
notes receivable, and equipment are collected or sold and other assets are sold.
The valuation of assets and liabilities necessarily requires many estimates and
assumptions and there are uncertainties in carrying out the liquidation of the
Partnership's net assets. The actual value of the liquidating distributions will
depend on a variety of factors, including the actual timing of distributions to
the partners. The actual amounts are likely to differ from the amounts presented
in the financial statements.

As of March 31, 2001, there were two customers with payments over 90 days past
due. When payments are past due more than 90 days, the Partnership discontinues
recognizing income on those contracts. The Partnership's net investment in these
contracts at March 31, 2001 was $58,970. Management believes its reserve is
adequate related to these customers. Management will continue to monitor the
past due contracts and take the necessary steps to protect the Partnership's
investment.

The Partnership's portfolio of leases, notes receivable, and equipment under
operating leases are concentrated in pay telephones and industrial equipment,
representing approximately 70% and 12%, respectively, of the portfolio at March
31, 2001. Three customers account for approximately 71% of the Partnership's
portfolio of leases and notes receivable at March 31, 2001. One of these
customers, LIDS Corporation, filed for bankruptcy during the first quarter of
2001, and accounted for approximately 24% of the Partnership's portfolio of
leases and notes receivable at March 31, 2001.

                                              =========         ==========


The Partnership's primary market risk exposure with respect to equity securities
is equity price. The Partnership's general strategy in owning equity securities
is long-term growth in the equity value of emerging companies in order to
increase the rate of return to the limited partners over the life of the
Partnership. The primary risk of the portfolio is derived from the underlying
ability of the entity invested in to satisfy debt obligations and its ability to
maintain or improve common equity values. The Partnership holds 165,900 shares
of Murdock as available for sale and 426,600 shares as not readily marketable,
due to restrictions imposed by rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Murdock is an emerging company whose stock price can be volatile. At
March 31, 2001, the total amount at risk was $25,322.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The table below provides information about the Partnership's notes receivable
that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents the
principal amounts and related weighted average interest rates by expected
maturity dates as of March 31, 2001.

                                         =============

The Partnership manages interest rate risk, its primary market risk exposure
with respect to notes receivable, by limiting the terms of notes receivable to
no more than five years and generally requiring full repayment ratably over the
term of the note.
