ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

        In early April, Sierra Fund 3 disseminated a letter stating its interest
in acquiring up to approximately 1,048 units of limited partnership interests in
Enstar Income Program II-1, L.P. (the "Registrant") for a price of $185 per
unit. This offer was made without the consent or involvement of the Registrant's
Corporate General Partner. The Coprorate 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 April 16, 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

LIMITATION, THE EFFECTS OF LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY CHANGES; THE POTENTIAL OF
INCREASED LEVELS OF COMPETITION FOR THE PARTNERSHIP; TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES; THE

PARTICIPATION IN THE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP; THE

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT RELATING TO
THE CORPORATE GENERAL PARTNER; OTHER POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST INVOLVING
