NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Partnership's 1998 annual audited consolidated financial statements
within Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair
statement of financial position as of June 30, 1999 and the results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the statement of changes in
partners' capital for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Results of operations
for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1998, and no
material contingencies exist which would require disclosure in this interim
report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).

Part I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                 Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

On November 27, 1996, the Partnership, DSC Venture ("DSC") and SFN Corporation
("SFN") executed a sale (the "Liquidating Sale") of their crane fleets, related
equipment and existing customer crane rental agreements to Western Crane Supply,
Inc. ("Western"), a Kennewick, Washington-based operator of construction cranes
and an affiliate of Neil F. Lampson, Inc., for a total consideration of $15.9
million in cash. Reference is made to the Partnership's 1996 annual report on
Form 10-K for a discussion of the terms and conditions of the Liquidating Sale.
As a result of the Liquidating Sale, the General Partners are in the process of
dissolving the Partnership. However, the Partnership will not be dissolved prior
to the resolution of the pending class action suit. A detailed discussion of
this litigation is contained in Part II, Item 1 contained herein.

At June 30, 1999, the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents balance totaled
$1,490,219 compared to $1,585,699 at December 31, 1998. The decrease primarily
is due to the payment of legal expenses associated with the litigation discussed
above, continuing general and administrative expenses for 1999 and the absence
of cash flow from operations due to the Liquidating Sale. The Partnership's
remaining cash reserves will first be used to provide for the Partnership's
remaining liabilities and obligations, including any associated with the
litigation, following which any remaining cash will be distributed to the
partners upon liquidation.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased from $1,566,319 at December 31,
1998 to $1,635,804 at June 30, 1999. The change is due to differences in the
timing of payments, primarily for administrative and legal expenses.

Results of Operations
---------------------

For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership
generated net losses of $47,252 and $164,965, respectively, compared to net
losses of $71,981 and $162,201, respectively, for the corresponding periods in
1998. The change for the three-month period primarily is due to lower general
and administrative expenses in 1999.

Interest income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 was
$17,953 and $36,779, respectively, compared to $79,523 and $104,682,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1998. The change primarily is due
to the Partnership maintaining lower cash balances for the three- and six-month
periods in 1999.

General and administrative expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1999 were $65,205 and $201,744, respectively, compared to $151,504 and
$266,883, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1998. The decrease
primarily is due to lower legal expenses, partially offset by liquidating
expenses incurred in the three- and six-month periods in 1999.

Part II    Other Information

Item 1     On June 4, 1997, a purported class action suit was commenced by a
           limited partner who acquired its interest in the Partnership
           through a tender offer (the "Plaintiff"), on behalf of, among
           others, all limited partners of the Partnership, in the 151st
           judicial District Court for Harris County, Houston, Texas against
           Steven A. Webster, Equipment Management, Inc. (the general
           partners of the Partnership), DSC Venture (a Texas joint venture
           in which the Partnership owns a 99% interest), Dayton-Scott
           Equipment Company (the former manager of the Partnership's
           construction crane fleet) and SFN Corporation (a corporation
           which was owned, in part, by the Partnership, which, in turn,
           owned construction cranes which were sold with the balance of the
           Partnership's crane fleet in the fourth quarter of 1996) and the
           Partnership (a Nominal Defendant) (collectively, the
           "Defendants").  The petition purports to bring a suit for breach
           of fiduciary duty and breach of contract with respect to the
           management and sale of the construction crane fleet and related
           equipment.  The Plaintiff has requested that the court enter a
           judgment against the Defendants, jointly and severally, (i)
           declaring a proper class action; (ii) awarding unspecified
           compensatory damages, plus interest, expenses and attorneys fees
           and (iii) awarding punitive and exemplary damages.  The
           Defendants filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and a Partial
           Summary Judgment was granted by the Court on March 31, 1998.  On
           August 24, 1998, the Court heard a Motion for Summary Judgment
           filed by a co-defendant.  That Motion was taken under
           consideration, but the judge recused herself before ruling.  The
           case was then reassigned to another judge and a hearing was held
           on the Motion on March 8, 1999.  The Court granted the Motion in
           part and overruled it in part.  The Court had a scheduling
           conference on May 5, 1999, at which time a trial date of
           September 20, 1999 was set.  The trial date was subsequently
           rescheduled to May 8, 2000.  The Defendants believe the remaining
           allegations in this complaint are without merit and intend to
           defend the action vigorously.

Items 2-5  Not applicable.

Item 6     Exhibits and reports on Form 8-K.

               No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the quarter ended
               June 30, 1999.
