LEASE EQUITY APPRECIATION FUND I, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2010

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1
 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Lease Equity Appreciation Fund I, L.P. (the Fund) is a Delaware
limited partnership formed on January 31, 2002 by its General Partner, LEAF Financial Corporation (the General Partner). The General Partner manages the Fund. The General Partner is a subsidiary of Resource America, Inc.
(RAI). RAI is a publicly-traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) that uses industry specific expertise, to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through its commercial finance, real estate and financial fund management
segments. Through its offering termination date of August 15, 2004, the Fund raised $17.1 million by selling 171,746 of its limited partner units. The Fund commenced operations in March 2003.

The Fund is expected to have a nine-year life, consisting of an offering period of up to two years, a five-year reinvestment period and a
subsequent maturity period of two years, during which the Funds leases and secured loans will either mature or be sold. The Funds five-year reinvestment period has ended and the Fund entered the maturity period in August 2009. In the
event the Fund is unable to sell its leases and loans during the maturity period, the Fund expects to continue to return capital to its partners as those leases and loans mature. Substantially all of the Funds leases and loans mature by the
end of 2013. The Fund will terminate on December 31, 2027, unless sooner dissolved or terminated as provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

The Fund acquired diversified portfolios of equipment to finance to end users throughout the United States as well as the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Fund also acquired existing portfolios of equipment subject to existing financings from other equipment finance companies, primarily an affiliate of its General Partner. The primary objective of the Fund is to generate
regular cash distributions to its partners from its equipment finance portfolio over the life of the Fund.

As of
June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, in addition to its 1% general partnership interest, the General Partner also had invested $0.8 million for a 6% limited partnership interest in the Fund.

NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LEAF Fund I, LLC. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the Funds financial position as of June 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods
presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results of the Funds operations for the 2010 fiscal year. The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the date
the financial statements were issued. The financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. These interim financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Funds financial statements and notes thereto presented in the Funds Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2010.

Significant Accounting Policies

Investments in Leases and Loans

The Funds investments in leases and loans consist of direct financing leases, operating leases and loans.

Direct Financing Leases. Certain of the Funds lease transactions are accounted for as direct financing leases (as
distinguished from operating leases). Such leases transfer substantially all benefits and risks of equipment ownership to the customer. The Funds investment in direct financing leases consists of the sum of the total future minimum lease
payments receivable plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value of leased equipment, less unearned finance income. Unearned finance income, which is recognized as revenue over the term of the financing by the effective interest method, represents
the excess of the total future minimum contracted payments plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value over the cost of the related equipment.

Unguaranteed residual value represents the estimated amount to be received at lease termination from lease extensions or ultimate
disposition of the leased equipment. The estimates of residual values are based upon the Funds history with regard to the realization of residuals, available industry data and the General Partners senior managements experience with
respect to comparable

equipment. The estimated residual values are recorded as a component of investments in leases. Residual values are reviewed periodically to determine if the current estimate of the
equipments fair market value appears to be below its recorded estimate. If required, residual values are adjusted downward to reflect adjusted estimates of fair market values. Upward adjustments to residual values are not permitted.

Operating Leases. Leases not meeting any of the criteria to be classified as direct financing leases are deemed to be
operating leases. Under the accounting for operating leases, the cost of the leased equipment, including acquisition fees associated with lease placements, is recorded as an asset and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the equipments
estimated useful life, generally up to seven years. Rental income consists primarily of monthly periodic rental payments due under the terms of the leases. The Fund recognizes rental income on a straight line basis.

Generally, during the lease terms of existing operating leases, the Fund will not recover all of the cost and related expenses of its
rental equipment and, therefore, it is prepared to remarket the equipment in future years. The Funds policy is to review, on a quarterly basis, the expected economic life of its rental equipment in order to determine the recoverability of its
undepreciated cost. The Fund writes down its rental equipment to its estimated net realizable value when it is probable that its carrying amount exceeds such value and the excess can be reasonably estimated; gains are only recognized upon actual
sale of the rental equipment. There were no write-downs of equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, and 2009.

Loans. For term loans, the investment in loans consists of the sum of the total future minimum loan payments receivable less
unearned finance income. Unearned finance income, which is recognized as revenue over the term of the financing by the effective interest method, represents the excess of the total future minimum contracted loan payments over the cost of the related
equipment. For all other loans, interest income is recorded at the stated rate on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected.

Allowance for Credit Losses. The Fund evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses (including investments in leases
and loans) based upon, among other factors, managements historical experience on the portfolios it manages, an analysis of contractual delinquencies, economic conditions and trends and equipment finance portfolio characteristics, adjusted for
expected recoveries. In evaluating historic performance, the Fund performs a migration analysis, which estimates the likelihood that an account progresses through delinquency stages to ultimate charge-off. After an account becomes 180 or more days
past due, it is generally written-off less an estimated recovery amount and referred to our internal recovery group consisting of a team of credit specialists and collectors. The group utilizes several resources in an attempt to maximize recoveries
on charged-off accounts including: 1) initiating litigation against the end user customer and any personal guarantor, 2) referring the account to an outside law firm or collection agency and/or 3) repossessing and remarketing the equipment through
third parties. The Funds policy is to charge off to the allowance those financings which are in default and for which management has determined the probability of collection to be remote. The Fund discontinues the recognition of revenue for
leases and loans for which payments are more than 90 days past due. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Fund had $2.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of leases and loans on non-accrual status. Fees from delinquent
payments are recognized when received and are included in other income.

Recent Accounting Standards

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles

The Fund adopted the following accounting guidance during the first six months ended June 30, 2010:

Subsequent Events.In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance which removes the
requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either a correction
of error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. This guidance was effective upon issuance.The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Funds consolidated financial position or consolidated results of
operations.

Fair Value Measurements. In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that requires new disclosures and
clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. The new pronouncement requires a reporting entity: (1) to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value
measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and (2) to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. In
addition, it clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures: (1) for purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the
appropriate classes of assets and liabilities, and (2) a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The new
guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Funds consolidated financial position or consolidated results of
operations.

NOTE 4  DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, deferred financing costs include $242,000 and $367,000, respectively, of unamortized
deferred financing costs which are being amortized over the estimated useful life of the related debt. Accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $910,000 and $785,000, respectively. Estimated amortization
expense of the Funds existing deferred financing costs for the years ending June 30 is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 5  BANK DEBT

The Fund has a secured term loan agreement with WestLB AG, New York Branch which is collateralized by specific lease receivables and
related equipment.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance under this financing
arrangement was $39.0 million and $54.3 million, respectively. Interest and principal are due as payments are received on the underlying leases and loans pledged as collateral, with any remaining balance due in March, 2014. Interest on this facility
is calculated at London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.95% per annum. To mitigate fluctuations in interest rates, the Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements which fix the interest rate on this facility at 5.3%.
The interest rate swap agreements terminate at various dates ranging from July 2010 to June 2015. Recourse under this facility is limited to the amount of collateral pledged. As of June 30, 2010, $41.5 million of leases and loans and $2.2
million of restricted cash were pledged as collateral under this facility. As of June 30, 2010, the Fund is in compliance with all covenants under this agreement.

Debt repayments. Estimated annual principal payments on the Funds aggregate borrowings over the next five years ended June 30, and
thereafter, are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 6  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Since the Funds assets are structured on a fixed-rate basis, and funds borrowed through bank debt are obtained on a floating-rate
basis, the Fund is exposed to interest rate risk if rates rise because it will increase the Funds borrowing costs. In addition, when the Fund acquires assets, it bases its pricing in part on the spread it expects to achieve between the
interest rate it charges its customers and the effective interest cost the Fund will pay when it funds those loans. Increases in interest rates that increase the Funds permanent funding costs between the time the assets are originated and the
time they are funded could narrow, eliminate or even reverse this spread.

##### Table of Contents

To manage interest rate risk, the Fund employs a hedging strategy using derivative financial
instruments such as interest rate swaps which are designated as cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in fair value of those derivatives are recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged forecasted interest payments are recognized in earnings. The Fund does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Fund manages
the credit risk of possible counterparty default in these derivative transactions by dealing primarily with counterparties with investment grade ratings. The Fund has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision
where if the Fund defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Fund could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The
Fund has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that incorporate the loan covenant provisions of the Funds indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparty. Failure to comply with the loan covenant
provisions would result in the Fund being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement. As of June 30, 2010, the Fund has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Fund had breached any of
these provisions at June 30, 2010, it could be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.6 million.

Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, the Fund determines that a high degree of initial effectiveness
exists between the change in the value of the hedged forecasted transactions and the change in the value of the derivative from a movement in interest rates. High effectiveness means that the change in the value of the derivative is expected to
provide a high degree of offset against changes in the value of the hedged forecasted transactions caused by changes in interest rate risk. The Fund measures the effectiveness of each cash flow hedge throughout the hedge period. Any hedge
ineffectiveness on cash flow hedging relationships, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

The
following tables present the fair value of the Funds derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2010:

For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Fund recognized no gain or loss for hedge ineffectiveness. Assuming market rates remain constant with those at June 30, 2010, $935,000 of the $1.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss is
expected to be charged to earnings over the next 12 months.

NOTE 7  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

For cash, receivables and payables, the carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short term maturity of these instruments.
The carrying value of debt approximates fair market value since interest rates approximate current market rates.

It is not
practicable for the Fund to estimate the fair value of the Funds leases and loans. They are comprised of a large number of transactions with commercial customers in different businesses, and may be secured by liens on various types of
equipment and may be guaranteed by third parties and cross-collateralized. Any difference between the carrying value and fair value of each transaction would be affected by a potential buyers assessment of the transactions credit
quality, collateral value, guarantees, payment history, yield, term, documents and other legal matters, and other subjective considerations. Value received in a fair market

sale of a transaction would be based on the terms of the sale, the Funds and the buyers views of economic and industry conditions, the Funds and the buyers tax
considerations, and other factors.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
measurement in its entirety.



| |  |  | Level 1  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the
measurement date.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

| |  |  | Level 3  Unobservable inputs that reflect the entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in
the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund employs a hedging strategy to manage exposure to the effects of changes in market interest rates. All derivatives are recorded
on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. Because the Funds derivatives are not listed on an exchange, these instruments are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach and
utilizing models that use as their primary basis readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers factors including interest rate yield curves, time value, credit factors and volatility factors. Although the Fund has
determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current
credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, the Fund has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and
has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Fund has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.

Subsidiary.

General

We are a Delaware limited partnership formed on January 31, 2002 by our General Partner, LEAF Financial Corporation (the
General Partner), which manages us. Our General Partner is a subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (RAI). RAI is a publicly-traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) that uses industry specific expertise, to evaluate, originate, service
and manage investment opportunities through its commercial finance, real estate and financial fund management segments. Through our offering termination date of August 15, 2004, we raised $17.1 million by selling 171,746 of our limited partner
units. We commenced operations in March 2003.

We are expected to have a nine-year life, consisting of an offering period of
up to two years, a five year reinvestment period and a subsequent maturity period of two years, during which our leases and secured loans will either mature or be sold. Our five year reinvestment period has ended and we entered the maturity period
in August 2009. In the event we are unable to sell our remaining leases and secured loans during the maturity period, we expect to continue to return capital to our partners as those leases and loans mature. Substantially all of our leases and loans
mature by the end of 2013. We will terminate on December 31, 2027, unless sooner dissolved or terminated as provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

We acquired a diversified portfolio of new, used or reconditioned equipment that we lease to third-parties. We also acquired portfolios
of equipment subject to existing leases from other equipment lessors. Our financings were typically acquired from our General Partner. In addition, we have made secured loans to end users to finance their purchase of equipment. We attempted to
structure our secured loans so that, in an economic sense, there is no difference to us between a secured loan and a full payout equipment lease. We finance business-essential equipment including, but not limited to, computers, copiers, office
furniture, water filtration systems, machinery used in manufacturing and construction, medical equipment and telecommunications equipment. We focus on the small to mid-size business market, which generally includes businesses with:



| |  |  | 500 or fewer employees;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | $1 billion or less in total assets; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | $100 million or less in total annual sales.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

Our principal objective is to generate regular cash distributions to our limited partners.

Our leases consist of direct financing leases and operating leases as defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States. Under the direct financing method of accounting, interest income (the excess of the aggregate future rentals and estimated unguaranteed residuals upon expiration of the lease over the related equipment cost) is recognized over the life of
the lease using the interest method. Under the operating method, the cost of the leased equipment, including acquisition fees associated with lease placements, is recorded as an asset and depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated
useful life. Rental income on operating leases consists primarily of monthly periodic rentals due under the terms of the leases. Generally, during the lease terms of existing operating leases, we will not recover all of the cost and related expenses
of rental equipment and, therefore, we are prepared to remarket the equipment in future years. We discontinue the recognition of revenue for leases and loans for which payments are more that 90 days past due. These assets are classified as
non-accrual.

Overview

When we commenced operations in 2003, the United States economy was experiencing strong growth, an abundance of liquidity in the debt
markets and historically low credit losses. It is widely believed that the United States economy over the past few years, has suffered through the worst economic recession in over 75 years. The recession has been severe and its consequences broadly
felt. Many well-known major financial institutions failed and others had to be bailed out. Unemployment soared to generational highs and has remained at such levels. Bank lending was severely reduced and became more expensive. In recent years, banks
became much more reluctant to lend, and when they did, it became more expensive to borrow. If existing loans came up for renewal and were extended, they were written for reduced amounts and at higher interest rates. Also, lenders insisted on
ever-tighter covenants around delinquencies and write-offs that made it more difficult to remain in compliance. In March of 2009, we faced such a renewal negotiation with our lender. Although we were able to convince our lender to leave the interest
rate the same, it would not permit any more borrowings and required that all the excess cash above a 4% distribution to our limited partners be applied to principal - paying down the loan more rapidly and forgoing the last six months of reinvestment
opportunity for us. The recession caused increased delinquencies and losses greater than we have projected, requiring us to repay the bank the amounts borrowed against delinquent leases in addition to anticipated principal pay down.

We negotiated with our lender to prevent them from foreclosing on any collateral, or requiring a fire sale of leases that would have
badly impaired capital. Additionally, our General Partner has deferred payment of fees and reimbursement of expenses totaling approximately $7.9 million from inception through June 30, 2010 in order to preserve our cash. We entered our maturity
phase in August 2009, and are prohibited under the Partnership Agreement from acquiring new leases.

To date, limited partners
have received total distributions ranging from approximately 44% to 58% of their original amount invested, depending upon when the investment was made. Our General Partner is working to maximize the amount that can be distributed to our limited
partners in the future. The July 2010 distribution was made at the 4.0% rate that has been in effect since 2009. However, beginning in August 2010, distributions will be lowered to 2.0% in order to pay down our bank loan faster in order to reduce
cash payments for interest as we liquidate the lease and loan portfolio over the next few years.

We continued to be impacted
by market uncertainties in the second quarter of 2010 as further discussed in Finance Receivables and Asset Quality and in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

We manage our credit risk by adhering to strict credit policies and procedures, and closely
monitoring our receivables. Our General Partner, the servicer of our leases and loans, responded to the current economic recession in part, by implementing early intervention techniques in collection procedures.

Our allowance for credit losses is our estimate of losses inherent in our commercial finance receivables. The allowance is based on
factors which include our historical loss experience on equipment finance portfolios we manage, an analysis of contractual delinquencies, current economic conditions and trends and equipment finance portfolio characteristics, adjusted for
recoveries. In evaluating historic performance, we perform a migration analysis, which estimates the likelihood that an account progresses through delinquency stages to ultimate charge-off. Our policy is to charge off to the allowance those
financings which are in default and for which management has determined the probability of collection to be remote. Substantially all of our assets are collateral for our debt and, therefore, significantly greater delinquencies than anticipated will
have an adverse impact on our cash flow and distributions to our partners.

The equipment we finance includes computers,
copiers, office furniture, water filtration systems, machinery used in manufacturing and construction, medical equipment and telecommunications equipment. We focus on financing equipment used by small to mid-sized businesses. The current economic
recession in the US has made it more difficult for some of our customers to make payments on their financings with us on a timely basis, which has adversely affected our operations in the form of higher delinquencies. These higher delinquencies may
continue until the US economy recovers. The increase in delinquencies, as well as the current economic trends, has caused us to conclude that a greater allowance for credit loss is necessary. Our non-performing assets as a percentage of finance
receivables has declined slightly from 5.95% at June 30, 2009 to 5.43% at June 30, 2010, primarily due to the increase in charge-offs in the current year.

Our net charge-offs increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three and six month ended
June 30, 2009 due to the aging of our portfolio of leases and loans as well as the current economic recession as discussed above.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and cost and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including the allowance for credit losses, the estimated unguaranteed residual values of leased equipment, impairment of long-lived assets and the fair
value and effectiveness of interest rate swaps. We base our estimates on historical experience, current economic conditions and on various other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009 under
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. There have been no material changes to those policies through June 30, 2010.

The decrease in total revenues was primarily attributable to the following:



| |  |  | A significant decrease in our weighted average net investment in financing assets to $47.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to $84.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $37.3 million or 44% as we entered our maturity phase in August 2009. We have not acquired additional leases and loans since the first quarter of 2009. Therefore,
our revenues are expected to continue to decline as our weighted average net investment in financing assets declines.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The decrease in total expenses was primarily attributable to the following:



| |  |  | A decrease in interest expense primarily due to the decrease in our bank debt caused by the ongoing maturities of the portfolio of lease and loans.
Outstanding borrowings were $39 million at June 30, 2010 as compared to $72.4 million at June 30, 2009. Borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were at an effective interest rate of 5.7% and 5.5%, respectively We
amended our debt facility effective March 6, 2009, such that it is now a term facility which is contractually repaid over time. As a result, our interest expense is expected to continue to decrease.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A decrease in management fees to affiliate attributable to the decrease in our portfolio of equipment financing assets, since management fees are paid
based on lease payments received. Beginning May 1, 2009, the General Partner waived asset management fees. Approximately $165,000 of management fees were waived for the three months ended June 30, 2010. It is expected that the General
Partner will also waive all future management fees.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These decreases in expenses were partially offset by
the following:



| |  |  | A significant increase in our provision for credit losses. We provide for credit losses when losses are likely to occur based on a migration analysis
of past due payments and economic conditions. Our provision for credit losses has increased due to the impact of the economic recession in the United States on our customers ability to make payments on their leases and loans.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net (loss) income per limited partner unit, after the net loss allocated to our General Partner, for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $(1.41) and $0.05, respectively, based on a weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding of 171,696 for both periods.

The decrease in total revenues was primarily attributable to the following:



| |  |  | A significant decrease in our weighted average net investment in financing assets to $52.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to $ 88.7million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $36.7 million or 41% as we entered our maturity phase in August 2009. We have not acquired additional leases and loans since the first quarter of 2009. Therefore,
our revenues are expected to continue to decline as our weighted average net investment in financing assets declines.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The decrease in total expenses was primarily attributable to the following:



| |  |  | A decrease in interest expense primarily due to the decrease in our bank debt caused by the ongoing maturities of the portfolio of lease and loans.
Outstanding borrowings were $39 million at June 30, 2010 as compared to $72.4 million at June 30, 2009. Borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were at an effective interest rate of 5.7% and 5.5%, respectively. We
amended our debt facility effective March 6, 2009, such that it is now a term facility which is contractually repaid over time. As a result, our interest expense is expected to continue to decrease.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A decrease in management fees to affiliate attributable to the decrease in our portfolio of equipment financing assets, since management fees are paid
based on lease payments received. Beginning May 1, 2009, the General Partner waived asset management fees. Approximately $362,000 of management fees were waived for the six months ended June 30, 2010. It is expected that the General
Partner will also waive all future management fees.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These decreases in expenses were partially offset by
the following:



| |  |  | A significant increase in our provision for credit losses. We provide for credit losses when losses are likely to occur based on a migration analysis
of past due payments and economic conditions. Our provision for credit losses has increased due to the impact of the economic recession in the United States on our customers ability to make payments on their leases and loans.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net loss per limited partner unit, after the net loss allocated to our General Partner, for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $9.51 and $4.62, respectively, based on a weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding of 171,696 for both periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our major source
of liquidity is excess cash derived from the collection of lease payments, after payment of debt principal and interest on debt. Our other cash requirements, in addition to debt service, are for normal operating expenses and distributions to
partners. We plan to fund our other cash requirements for operating expenses and distributions to partners, from cash remaining after payments for debt service.

As noted previously, we entered the maturity phase in August 2009. Accordingly, we will not be purchasing any new leases or loans. We have
not made any purchases of leases or loans since the first quarter of 2009. As more fully discussed below, in the first quarter of 2009, we renegotiated our revolving debt facility into a term facility that will be repaid as payments are received on
the correlating portfolio of leases and loans with any remaining balance due March 14, 2014. In summary, in return for agreeing to a term loan that accelerates the repayment of the loan, the lender agreed to remove all financial covenants from
the loan agreement. The remaining covenants are non-financial in nature.

We believe that our future net cash inflows can be
estimated as the total scheduled future payments to be received from leases and loans less our debt service payments. At June 30, 2010, the total future minimum lease payments scheduled to be received was $47.3 million which excludes the $1.8
million allowance for credit losses. The outstanding principal balance owed on our debt facility was $39.0 million. We believe that future net cash inflows will be sufficient and borrowing from the General Partner will not be necessary to either
finance operations or meet debt service payments. The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash for the periods indicated (in thousands):



|                                          |  |                  |   |  |         |

|                                          |  |                  |   |  |         |  
|Decrease in cash                          |  | (92              | ) |  | (133    | )
|                                          |  |                  |   |  |         |  

Cash decreased by $92,000 primarily due to a debt repayment of $15.3 million, distributions to our partners
of $345,000, offset by net proceeds from leases and loans of $13.2 million. As a result of increased delinquencies, the amount of borrowing availability under our leases and loans was reduced, resulting in a net debt repayment in the first six
months of 2010.

As of June 30, 2010, $39.0 million was outstanding under our secured term loan agreement with WestLB. No
further borrowings are available under the secured term loan agreement. This facility is secured by the pledging of eligible leases and loans. Recourse under this facility is limited to the amount of collateral pledged. As of June 30, 2010,
$41.5 million of leases and loans and $2.2 million of restricted cash were pledged as collateral under this facility. Interest on this facility is calculated at LIBOR plus 0.95% per annum. Interest rate swap agreements fix the interest rate on
this facility at 5.3%. Interest and principal are due as payments are received on the underlying leases and loans pledged as collateral, with any remaining balance due in March 2014. As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all covenants
contained in this agreement.

Partners distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were
$345,000 and $690,000, respectively. In April 2009, the limited partners monthly distribution was reduced to 4% per annum of invested capital. Cumulative partner distributions paid from our inception to June 30, 2010 were
approximately $8.9 million.

Future cash distributions are dependent on our performance and are impacted by a number of factors
which include lease and loan defaults by our customers and prevailing economic conditions. Due to the prolonged economic recession, we continue to see higher than expected lease and loan defaults resulting in poorer fund performance than projected.

The General Partner waived management fees beginning May 1, 2009. Accordingly, we did not record any management fee
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010. It is expected that the General Partner will also waive all future management fees. As noted above, we have reduced the annual distribution rate to partners to 2.0% effective in August 2010. The
cash savings on management fees and distributions is expected to be used to pay down our liabilities.

As discussed above, our
liquidity has been and may continue to be adversely affected by higher than expected equipment lease defaults, which result in a loss of anticipated revenues. These losses affect our ability to make distributions to our partners and, if the level of
defaults is sufficiently large, result in our inability to fully recover our investment in the underlying equipment. In evaluating our allowance for losses on uncollectible leases, we consider our contractual delinquencies, economic conditions and
trends, lease portfolio characteristics and our General Partners managements prior experience with similar lease assets. At June 30, 2010, our credit evaluation indicated a need for an allowance for credit losses of $1.8 million. As
our lease portfolio ages, and if the economy in the United States deteriorates even further or the recession continues for a substantial period of time, we anticipate the need to increase our allowance for credit losses.

ITEM 3  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of losses arising from changes in values of financial instruments. We are exposed to market risks
associated with changes in interest rates and our earnings may fluctuate with changes in interest rates. The lease assets we originate are almost entirely fixed-rate. Accordingly, we seek to finance these assets with fixed interest rate debt. At
June 30, 2010, our outstanding debt totaled $39.0 million of variable rate debt. To mitigate interest rate risk on the variable rate debt, we employ a hedging strategy using derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, which
fixes the interest rates at 5.3% for the WestLB debt facility. At June 30, 2010, the notional amounts of the 42 interest rate swaps were $38.4 million. The interest rate swap agreements terminate on various dates ranging from July 2010 to June
2015 which generally coincide with the maturity period of our portfolio of lease and loans.

The following sensitivity
analysis table shows, at June 30, 2010, the estimated impact on the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and liabilities of changes in interest rates, assuming rates instantaneously fall 100 basis points or rise 100 basis
points (dollars in thousands):



|                                  |  |                                    |        |   |           |   |        |                                    |  |   |        |

|Fair value                        |  | $                                  | (2,036 | ) |           | $ | (1,550 | )                                  |  | $ | (1,185 | ) 
|Change in fair value              |  | $                                  | (486   | ) |           |   |       |                                    |  | $ | 365    |   
|Change as a percent of fair value |  |                                    | 31     | % |           |   |       |                                    |  |   | (24    | )%

It is important to note
that the impact of changing interest rates on fair value can change significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. Therefore, the volatility in the fair value of our assets could increase significantly when
interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. In addition, other factors impact the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and hedging instruments, such as the shape of the yield curve, market expectations as to
future interest rate changes and other market conditions. Accordingly, in the event of changes in actual interest rates, the change in the fair value of our assets would likely differ from that shown above and such difference might be material and
adverse to our partners.

ITEM 4  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls

We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of our General Partners chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we have carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our General Partners chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level discussed above.

Changes in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
three months ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
