                                   (Continued)



     All rents and  proceeds  from the sale of  equipment  are paid  directly to
either  AFG or to a  lender.  AFG  temporarily  deposits  collected  funds  in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.
At September 30, 1995,  the  Partnership  was owed $35,333 by AFG for such funds
and the  interest  thereon.  These  funds were  remitted to the  Partnership  in
October 1995.

     On August 18, 1995, Atlantic  Acquisition Limited Partnership  ("AALP"),  a
newly formed  Massachusetts  limited partnership owned and controlled by certain
principals of AFG,  issued a voluntary  Offer to Purchase for Cash (the "Offer")
up to approximately  45% of the outstanding units of limited partner interest in
this  Partnership and 20 affiliated  partnerships  sponsored and managed by AFG.
Coincident to the Offer, a Tender Offer Statement  pursuant to Section  14(d)(1)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange  Act") was filed with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Also,  on August 18,  1995,  the General
Partner filed a Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement (Schedule 14D-9) pursuant
to Section  14(d)(4) of the Exchange Act. The Offer was amended and supplemented
in order to provide  additional  disclosure to  unitholders;  increase the offer
price; reduce the number of units sought to approximately 35% of the outstanding
units; and extend the expiration date of the Offer to October 20, 1995.  Certain
legal actions were initiated by interested  persons against AALP and each of the
general  partners (4 in total) of the 21 affected  programs,  and various  other
affiliates  and related  parties.  One action,  representing  a class  action on
behalf of the  unitholders  (limited  partners),  sought to enjoin the Offer and
obtain  unspecified  monetary  damages.  A  settlement  of this  litigation  was
proposed and was preliminarily  approved by the United States District Court for
the  District of  Massachusetts  (the  "Court") on  September  27, 1995. A final
settlement  hearing is scheduled  on November  15, 1995. A second class  action,
brought in the Superior Court of the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts,  seeks to
enjoin the Offer,  obtain  unspecified  monetary  damages,  and intervene in the
first  class  action.  The  plaintiffs  have filed  objections  to the  proposed
settlement of the first action.  At this date,  these  objections  have not been
acted upon by the Superior Court. As of the Offer  expiration  date, the limited
partners of the Partnership had tendered  approximately 75,541 Units or 8.64% of
the total  outstanding  Units of the  Partnership to AALP.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  the operations of the  Partnership  are not expected to be adversely
affected by the proceedings or proposed settlements.


NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE

     Notes payable at September  30, 1995  consisted of an  installment  note of
$132,344 payable to an institutional  lender. This note is non-recourse,  with a
fluctuating  interest rate based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
plus 1.5%. At September 30, 1995,  the applicable  LIBOR rate was  approximately
7.38%. The note is collateralized by the equipment and assignment of the related

NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In April  1992,  a lessee  of the  Partnership,  Ryan  Operations  G.P.
(d.b.a.  "Ryan Homes"),  filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code.  AFG,  on  behalf  of the  Partnership  and  certain  other  AFG-sponsored
programs,  filed a proof of claim in this matter.  The lease obligations of this
lessee were  guaranteed by its  affiliate,  NV Homes L.P.,  which also filed for
protection under Chapter 11 in 1992.  Equipment leased to this lessee had a cost
of  approximately  $377,700 at the time of the  bankruptcy  filing.  In 1994 and
1995, the Partnership sold all of the affected equipment  resulting in net gains
of $106,570 and $13,100,  respectively,  for financial statement purposes.  This
bankruptcy did not have a material  adverse effect on the financial  position of
the Partnership.

         In 1993,  Affiliated  Food Stores,  Inc., a lessee of the  Partnership,
filed for protection  under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. AFG filed a proof
of claim on behalf  of the  Partnership  for all  amounts  owed by this  lessee.
Equipment leased to this lessee had a cost of approximately $712,000 at the time
of the bankruptcy  filing.  The Partnership sold the equipment in 1993, 1994 and
1995,  resulting  in net gains of  approximately  $30,000,  $27,000 and $45,000,
respectively,  for financial statement purposes.  This bankruptcy did not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position of the Partnership.

     On September 7, 1993, Rose's Stores,  Inc. (the "Debtor"),  a lessee of the
Partnership,  filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. AFG,
on  behalf  of  the  Partnership  and  various  other  AFG-sponsored  investment
programs,  filed a proof of claim in this  case,  which  claim was  amended  and
restated.  In August  1994,  the  Bankruptcy  Court  approved a Motion to Reject
Certain Executory Equipment Leases filed by the Debtor relating to approximately
$224,000 of equipment owned by this  Partnership.  The Partnership sold all such
equipment during 1994 and recognized a net gain of $344 for financial  statement
purposes.  During 1995, the Partnership  sold an additional  $1,451 of equipment
previously  leased to the Debtor and recognized a net gain of $213 for financial
statement  purposes.   At  September  30,  1995,  the  Partnership  owned  other
equipment,  having an original cost of $636,274, which was leased to the Debtor.
This  equipment  represents  approximately  7% of  the  Partnership's  aggregate
equipment  portfolio and is fully depreciated for financial  statement purposes.
All of this  equipment  is being  leased  pursuant to renewal  rental  schedules
executed by the Debtor.

         The Debtor's First Amended Joint Plan of  Reorganization  (the "Plan of
Reorganization")  was adopted on December 14,  1994.  On June 8, 1995 and August
18, 1995,  AFG, on behalf of the  Partnership  and various  other  AFG-sponsored
investment programs, was issued 17,023 shares and 7,296 shares, respectively, of
the Debtor's  common stock  pursuant to the Plan of  Reorganization.  The common
stock,  no par value  stock,  which had a market value of $2.38 and $2.56 at the
respective  settlement dates, was issued in full satisfaction of the outstanding
unsecured  claims  of  the  affected  investment  programs.   The  Partnership's
proportionate  interest  in this  settlement  is  8.03% or  approximately  1,954
shares.  This bankruptcy did not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position of the Partnership.

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

Three and nine months ended  September  30, 1995  compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1994:

Overview

     As an equipment  leasing  partnership,  the  Partnership  was  organized to
acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements
with third  parties.  The  Partnership  was designed to progress  through  three
principal  phases:  acquisitions,   operations,  and  liquidation.   During  the
operations  phase,  a period of  approximately  six years,  all equipment in the
Partnership's  portfolio will progress  through various stages.  Initially,  all
equipment will generate  rental  revenues  under primary term lease  agreements.
During  the  life  of  the  Partnership,  these  agreements  will  expire  on an
intermittent  basis and equipment  held  pursuant to the related  leases will be
renewed,  re-leased or sold,  depending on prevailing  market conditions and the
assessment of such  conditions by AFG to obtain the most  advantageous  economic
benefit.  Over time, a greater portion of the Partnership's  original  equipment
portfolio  will  become  available  for  remarketing  and  cash  generated  from
operations and from sales or refinancings  will begin to fluctuate.  Ultimately,
all  equipment  will  be  sold  and  the  Partnership  will  be  dissolved.  The
Partnership's operations commenced in 1988.


Results of Operations

     For the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1995,  the  Partnership
recognized  lease  revenue of $256,016 and $851,875,  respectively,  compared to
$392,080  and  $1,659,943  for the same  periods in 1994.  The decrease in lease
revenue from 1994 to 1995 was expected  and  resulted  principally  from primary
lease term expirations and the sale of equipment.

     The Partnership's  equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the
Partnership  holds  a  proportionate  ownership  interest.  In such  cases,  the
remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated  equipment leasing program
sponsored by AFG.  Proportionate  equipment ownership enables the Partnership to
further  diversify its equipment  portfolio by participating in the ownership of
selected assets,  thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result
from a  concentration  in any single  equipment  type,  industry or lessee.  The
Partnership  and each  affiliate  individually  report,  in  proportion to their
respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets,  liabilities,
revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.

     Interest  income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$10,138 and $32,600, respectively,  compared to $11,744 and $23,377 for the same
periods in 1994.  Interest  income is generated  from  temporary  investment  of
rental  receipts and  equipment  sale proceeds in  short-term  instruments.  The
overall  increase in interest  income from 1994 to 1995 is  attributable  to the
length  of time  during  which  cash  was  available  for  investment  prior  to
distribution to the Partners and to an increase in interest rates. The amount of
future  interest  income is expected  to  fluctuate  in  relation to  prevailing
interest rates,  the collection of lease revenue and the proceeds from equipment
sales.

     For the three months ended September 30, 1995, the  Partnership  sold fully
depreciated  equipment  to  existing  lessees  and third  parties.  These  sales
resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes,  of $213 compared to a
net gain in 1994 of $93,034 on equipment having a net book value of $15,136.

                                    FORM 10-Q

                          PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION




     For the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  the  Partnership  sold
equipment  having a net book  value of  $56,041 to  existing  lessees  and third
parties.  These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial  statement purposes,
of $131,172 compared to a net gain in 1994 of $545,272 on equipment having a net
book value of $150,005.

     It cannot be determined  whether future sales of equipment will result in a
net  gain  or a net  loss  to the  Partnership,  as  such  transactions  will be
dependent  upon  the  condition  and  type  of  equipment  being  sold  and  its
marketability  at the time of sale.  In  addition,  the  amount  of gain or loss
reported for financial  statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of
accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.

     The  ultimate  realization  of residual  value for any type of equipment is
dependent  upon many  factors,  including  AFG's  ability  to sell and  re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions,  industry trends, technological advances,
and many other  events can  converge to enhance or detract  from asset values at
any given  time.  AFG  attempts  to monitor  these  changes in order to identify
opportunities  which may be  advantageous  to the  Partnership  and  which  will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.

     The total economic  value realized upon final  disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenues generated from that asset, together
with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds  realized upon the
asset's sale in addition to all other cash  receipts  obtained  from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership classifies
such residual rental payments as lease revenue. Consequently, the amount of gain
or loss reported in the financial  statements is not  necessarily  indicative of
the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment.

     Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
was $87,889 and  $274,584,  respectively,  compared to $184,324 and $602,718 for
the same periods in 1994. For financial reporting  purposes,  to the extent that
an  asset  is held on  primary  lease  term,  the  Partnership  depreciates  the
difference  between  (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the  estimated  residual
value of the asset on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of this
policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values at the
date of primary lease  expiration.  To the extent that  equipment is held beyond
its primary lease term,  the  Partnership  continues to depreciate the remaining
net book value of the asset on a straight-line  basis over the asset's remaining
economic life.

     Interest  expense  was $3,536 and $9,237 or 1.4% and 1.1% of lease  revenue
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,  respectively,  compared
to $6,996 and $22,787 or 1.8% and 1.4% of lease  revenue for the same periods in
1994.  Interest expense in future periods will continue to decline in amount and
as a percentage of lease  revenue as the  principal  balance of notes payable is
reduced through the application of rent receipts to outstanding debt.

     Management  fees were 5% of lease revenue  during each of the periods  
ended  September 30, 1995 and 1994 and will not change as a percentage of lease
revenue in future periods.

     Operating   expenses  consist   principally  of   administrative   charges,
professional  service costs,  such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution and remarketing  expenses.  In certain cases,  equipment storage or
repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being
remarketed.  Collectively,  operating expenses  represented 4.2% and 6% of lease
revenue for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1995,  respectively,
compared  to 5.4% and 3.1% of lease  revenue for the same  periods in 1994.  The
amount of future operating expenses cannot be predicted with certainty; however,
such expenses are usually higher during the acquisition  and liquidation  phases
of a partnership.  Other fluctuations  typically occur in relation to the volume
and timing of remarketing activities.


Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows

     The  Partnership  by  its  nature  is  a  limited  life  entity  which  was
established for specific purposes described in the preceding  "Overview".  As an
equipment leasing program,  the  Partnership's  principal  operating  activities
derive from asset rental transactions.  Accordingly, the Partnership's principal
source of cash from  operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents.
These cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations  associated with
leveraged  leases,  and to pay management  fees and operating  costs.  Operating
activities  generated  net cash inflows of $787,783 and  $1,672,539  in 1995 and
1994, respectively.  Future renewal, re-lease and equipment sale activities will
cause a gradual decline in the  Partnership's  lease revenues and  corresponding
sources of operating cash. Overall,  expenses associated with rental activities,
such as  management  fees,  and net cash flow  from  operating  activities  will
decline as the Partnership experiences a higher frequency of remarketing events.

     Ultimately,  the Partnership  will dispose of all assets under lease.  This
will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold
to the  existing  lessee or to a third  party.  Generally,  this will occur upon
expiration  of  each  asset's  primary  or  renewal/re-lease  term.  In  certain
instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an
asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of
stipulated cash  settlements  pursuant to terms and conditions  contained in the
underlying lease agreements.

     Cash realized from asset disposal  transactions is reported under investing
activities on the accompanying  Statement of Cash Flows.  During the nine months
ended  September 30, 1995, the Partnership  realized  $187,213 in equipment sale
proceeds  compared  to  $695,277  in 1994.  Future  inflows  of cash from  asset
disposals  will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors
including,  but not limited to, the frequency  and timing of lease  expirations,
the type of equipment  being sold,  its  condition  and age,  and future  market
conditions.

     During 1994, the Partnership  capitalized  $192,500 of refurbishment  costs
incurred to upgrade a cargo vessel leased by Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Skipsrederi
A/S ("KGJS") pursuant to the terms of an extended and renegotiated contract with
KGJS.  Refurbishment  costs were financed  with a third-party  lender and shared
between the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships in proportion to their
respective ownership interests in the vessel.

     The  Partnership  obtained  long-term  financing in connection with certain
equipment  leases.  The repayments of principal related to such indebtedness are
reported as a component of financing  activities.  Each note payable is recourse
only to the  specific  equipment  financed  and to the minimum  rental  payments
contracted  to be received  during the debt  amortization  period  (which period
generally  coincides  with the  lease  rental  term).  As  rental  payments  are
collected,  a  portion  or all of the  rental  payment  is  used  to  repay  the
associated indebtedness.  In future years, the amount of cash used to repay debt
obligations  will continue to decline as the principal  balance of notes payable
is reduced through the collection and application of rents.

     Cash  distributions  to the  General  Partners  and  Recognized  Owners are
declared  and  generally  paid within  fifteen  days  following  the end of each
calendar quarter.  The payment of such distributions is presented as a component
of financing  activities.  For the nine months  ended  September  30, 1995,  the
Partnership  declared  total  cash  distributions  of  Distributable  Cash  From
Operations and  Distributable  Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $993,107.  In
accordance  with the Amended and Restated  Agreement and  Certificate of Limited
Partnership, the Recognized Owners were allocated 99% of these distributions, or
$983,176,  and the General  Partners  were  allocated  1%, or $9,931.  The third
quarter 1995 cash distribution was paid on October 13, 1995.

     Cash  distributions  paid to the Recognized Owners consist of both a return
of and a return on  capital.  To the extent that cash  distributions  consist of
Cash From Sales or Refinancings,  substantially  all of such cash  distributions
should be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and
are not indicative of yield on investment.  Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined  with any certainty  until  conclusion of the Partnership and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future  contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at
its disposal date. Future market conditions,  technological changes, the ability
of  AFG  to  manage  and  remarket  the  assets,   and  many  other  events  and
circumstances,  could  enhance or detract from  individual  asset yields and the
collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio.

     The Partnership's  future cash  distributions will be adversely affected by
the  1991  bankruptcy  of  Midway  Airlines,  Inc.  ("Midway").   Although  this
bankruptcy had no immediate  adverse effect on the  Partnership's  cash flow, as
the  Partnership  had almost  fully  leveraged  its  ownership  interest  in the
underlying  aircraft leased to Midway,  this event resulted in the Partnership's
loss  of any  future  interest  in the  residual  value  of the  aircraft.  This
bankruptcy will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership
to achieve all of its originally intended economic benefits.  However, the final
yield on capital will be dependent  upon the collective  performance  results of
all the Partnership's equipment leases.

     The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by the foregoing
and will be greatly  dependent upon the collection of contractual  rents and the
outcome of residual  activities.  The Managing General Partner  anticipates that
cash proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future
expense  obligations.  However, the amount of cash available for distribution in
future periods will fluctuate.  Equipment lease  expirations and asset disposals
will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating activities to diminish over
time; and equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of realization.
Accordingly,  fluctuations  in the level of quarterly  cash  distributions  will
occur during the life of the Partnership.
