Item 1. Business.
General Development of Business.
Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund II, a California limited partnership (the "Partnership"), was organized on June 28, 1984. The Partnership was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission with an effective date of November 20, 1986 and shall continue to operate until its termination date unless dissolved sooner due to the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Partnership or a vote of the Limited Partners. The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 1997. The General Partner is Phoenix Leasing Incorporated, a California corporation. The General Partner or its affiliates also is or has been a general partner in several other limited partnerships formed to invest in capital equipment and other assets.
The initial registration was for 300,000 units of limited partnership interest at a price of $250 per unit with an option of increasing the public offering up to a maximum of 400,000 units. The Partnership sold 386,308 units for a total capitalization of $96,577,000. Of the proceeds received through the offering, the Partnership has incurred $11,540,000 in organizational and offering expenses. The Partnership concluded its public offering on February 4, 1988.
From the initial formation of the Partnership through December 31, 1993, the total investments in equipment leases and financing transactions (loans), including the Partnership's pro rata interest in investments made by joint ventures, approximate $174,034,000. The average initial firm term of contractual payments from equipment subject to lease was 32.20 months, and the average initial net monthly payment rate as a percentage of the original purchase price was 2.24%. The average initial firm term of contractual payments from loans was 82.01 months.
Narrative Description of Business.
The Partnership's principal objective is to produce cash flow to the investors on a continuing basis over the life of the Partnership. To achieve this objective, the Partnership has invested in various types of capital equipment and other assets to provide leasing or financing of the same to third parties, including Fortune 1000 companies and their subsidiaries, middle-market companies, emerging growth companies, cable television operators and others, on either a long-term or short-term basis. The types of equipment that the Partnership has invested in includes computer peripherals, terminal systems, small computer systems, communications equipment, IBM mainframes, IBM-software compatible mainframes, office systems, CAE/CAD/CAM equipment, telecommunications equipment, cable television equipment, medical equipment, production and manufacturing equipment and software products.
The Partnership has made secured loans to cable television systems, emerging growth companies, security monitoring companies and other businesses. These loans are asset-based and the Partnership receives a security interest in the assets financed.

Item 1. Business (continued):
Narrative Description of Business (continued).
The Partnership's financing activities have been concentrated in the cable television industry. The Partnership has made secured loans (notes receivable) to operators of cable television systems for the acquisition, refinancing, construction, upgrade and extension of such systems located throughout the United States. The loans to cable television system operators are secured by a senior or subordinated interest in the assets of the cable television system, its franchise agreements, subscriber lists, material contracts and other related assets. In some cases the Partnership has also received personal guarantees from the owners of the systems. At December 31, 1993, the Partnership's investments in notes receivable primarily consist of notes receivable from four cable television system operators. The Partnership's net investment in notes receivable (including notes receivable reclassified to in-substance foreclosed cable systems) of $2,740,000 approximate 40% of the total assets of the Partnership at December 31, 1993.
Several of the cable television system operators the Partnership provided financing to have experienced financial difficulties. These difficulties are believed to have been caused by several factors such as: a significant reduction in the availability of debt from banks and other financial institutions to finance acquisitions and operations, uncertainties related to future government regulation in the cable television industry and the economic recession in the United States. These factors have resulted in a significant decline in the demand for the acquisition of cable systems and have further caused an overall decrease in the value of many cable television systems.
The Partnership has acquired equipment pursuant to either "Operating" leases or "Full Payout" leases. The Partnership has also provided and intends to provide financing secured by assets in the form of notes receivable. Operating leases are generally short-term leases under which the lessor will receive aggregate rental payments in an amount that is less than the purchase price of the equipment. Full Payout leases are generally for a longer term under which the non-cancellable rental payments due during the initial term of the lease are at least sufficient to recover the purchase price of the equipment.
The General Partner has concentrated the Partnership's activities in the equipment leasing and financing industry, an area in which the General Partner has developed an expertise. The computer equipment leasing industry is extremely competitive. The Partnership competes with many well established companies having substantially greater financial resources. Competitive factors include pricing, technological innovation and methods of financing (including use of various short-term and long-term financing plans, as well as the outright purchase of equipment).
Although IBM is still a dominant factor in the computer equipment marketplace, even IBM has been adversely affected by wide-spread competition in this industry. Given the high degree of competition and rapid pace of technological development in the computer equipment industry, revolutionary changes with respect to pricing, marketing practices, technological innovation and the availability of new and attractive financing plans could occur at almost any time. Significant action in any of these areas might materially and adversely affect the remarketability of equipment owned by the Partnership. Any such adverse effect on remarketability could also be reflected in the overall return realized by the Partnership. The General Partner believes that IBM and its competitors will continue to make significant

advances in the computer equipment industry, some of which may result in revolutionary changes with respect to small, medium and large computer systems. The Partnership will maintain working capital reserves in an amount which will fluctuate from time to time depending upon the needs of the Partnership, but which will be at least one percent of the gross offering proceeds.
Other.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
On July 1, 1991, Phoenix Leasing Incorporated, as General Partner to the Partnership and sixteen other affiliated partnerships, filed suit in the Superior Court for the County of Marin, Case No. 150016, against Xerox Corporation, a corporation in which the General Partner had entered into a contractual agreement for the acquisition and administration of leased equipment. Phoenix Leasing Incorporated alleges on behalf of the Partnership that Xerox Corporation breached certain agreements when it failed to remit and account for certain funds due as adjustments to purchase prices, failed to properly refurbish and remarket certain equipment, and failed to properly administer the Partnership's portfolio of equipment. The suit seeks recovery of damages and attorney costs of a yet to be determined amount. Discovery in the case is currently in process.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations =============================================================================== For the years ended December 31, Description 1993 1992 1991 (Amounts in Thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net income (loss) $1,570 $(1,540) $(5,429) Rental income 3,779 7,072 12,077 Gain from equipment insurance settlement - 1,235 - Depreciation expense 1,888 8,471 13,630 Lease related operating expenses 1,081 2,116 3,853 ===============================================================================
Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund II (the Partnership) reported net income of $1,570,000 during the year ended December 31, 1993, as compared to net losses of $1,540,000 and $5,429,000 during 1992 and 1991, respectively. The improvement in earnings during 1993 is attributable to a substantial decrease of $6,583,000 in depreciation expense. As of December 31, 1992, a majority of the Partnership's reproduction equipment had become fully depreciated, causing a major portion of the decrease in depreciation expense during 1993.
The decreased net loss during 1992 was primarily attributable to an equipment insurance settlement received by the Partnership of $1,235,000 and a decrease in lease-related operating expenses of $1,737,000. The equipment insurance settlement received during 1992 was for the full replacement value of certain capital equipment owned by the Partnership and is not a recurring event.
The decrease in rental income of $3,293,000 and $5,005,000 during 1993 and 1992, respectively, is attributable to a decrease in the size of the equipment portfolio due to equipment sales. At December 31, 1993, the Partnership owned equipment with an aggregate original cost of $40 million as compared to $58 million and $79 million at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively. As the Partnership continues to sell equipment upon expiration of the lease terms, it is anticipated that the equipment portfolio and rental income will continue to decrease.
Total expenses decreased by $8,203,000 and $7,473,000 during 1993 and 1992, respectively, as compared to the same period in the preceding year due primarily to the decrease in depreciation of $6,583,000 and $5,159,000 during 1993 and 1992, respectively. The decrease in depreciation expense is attributable to the decrease in the size of the equipment portfolio due to the sale of equipment and a large portion of the equipment having been fully depreciated. The Partnership sold equipment with an aggregate original cost of $18,149,000, $20,744,000 and $26,074,000 during the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
During 1993 and 1992, the Partnership also experienced a decrease in lease related operating expenses of $1,035,000 and $1,737,000, respectively, due to a decrease in maintenance, remarketing and refurbishing expenses incurred on a portion of the Partnership's reproduction equipment purchased pursuant to a vendor lease and remarketing agreement. In accordance with the agreement, these expenses are deducted from the rents and sales proceeds received from such leases.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Results of Operations (continued)
The Partnership has been impacted by the recession through an increase in the number of lessee and borrower defaults. This has caused an increase in delinquent lease and loan payments from customers, and the Partnership has seen an increase in lessees and borrowers filing for protection under the bankruptcy laws. This has caused the Partnership a loss of revenues from such delinquent or defaulted leases and has also forced the Partnership to renegotiate its leases on far less favorable terms. These defaults and delinquencies have also resulted in an increase in legal and collection related expenses. The recession has also caused manufacturers of newer computer equipment to engage in highly aggressive sales practices by discounting new products by as much as 50-60%. The effects of this practice have been lower re-leasing and resale revenues on the equipment owned by the Partnership, thereby earning lower returns than originally anticipated as reflected by the decrease in rental income.
Inflation affects the Partnership in relation to the current cost of equipment placed on lease and the residual values realized when the equipment comes off-lease and is sold. During the last several years inflation has been low, thereby having very little impact upon the Partnership.
Liquidity and Capital Resources =============================================================================== For the years ended December 31, Description 1993 1992 1991 (Amounts in Thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAJOR CASH SOURCES: Net cash from equipment leasing and financing operations (1) $ 3,003 $ 5,270 $10,707

The Partnership's primary source of liquidity comes from equipment leasing and financing activities. The Partnership has contractual obligations with a diversified group of lessees for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts and will also receive payments on its outstanding notes receivable. The Partnership's future liquidity is dependent upon its receiving payment of such contractual obligations. As the initial lease terms expire, the Partnership will continue to renew, remarket or sell the equipment. The future liquidity in excess of the remaining contractual obligations will depend upon the General Partner's success in re-leasing and selling the Partnership's equipment as it comes off lease.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
During the fourth quarter of 1992, the Partnership borrowed an additional $465,000 from a bank. The Partnership repaid $291,000 of its outstanding debt during 1993.
Proceeds from sale of equipment decreased due to a decrease in the amount of equipment sold of $1,663,000 and $2,808,000 during 1993 and 1992, respectively, as well as a decrease in the market value of such equipment.
During 1993, the Partnership purchased $192,000 in equipment subject to operating and financing type leases, compared to the $221,000 and $2,704,000 in equipment acquired during 1992 and 1991, respectively. As a result, the aggregate original cost of equipment owned by the Partnership at December 31, 1993 approximates $40 million, as compared to the $58 million and $79 million at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
The $40 million of equipment owned at December 31, 1993 is classified as follows: 36% reproduction equipment, 32% computer peripheral equipment, 23% computer mainframes, 5% capital equipment leased to emerging growth companies, 3% telecommunications equipment and 1% small computer systems.
The $58 million of equipment owned at December 31, 1992 was classified as follows: 58% computer peripheral equipment, 31% reproduction equipment, 6% capital equipment leased to emerging growth companies, 2% telecommunications equipment, 1% small computer systems, 1% computer mainframes and 1% miscellaneous, as compared to $79 million of equipment owned at December 31, 1991 which was classified as follows: 58% computer peripheral equipment, 28% reproduction equipment, 9% capital equipment leased to emerging growth companies, 2% small computer systems, 2% telecommunications equipment and 1% computer mainframes. The Partnership is currently in its liquidation stage and accordingly has no obligations or commitments to purchase additional equipment.
In addition to acquiring equipment for lease to third parties, the Partnership has provided financing to cable television system operators, emerging growth companies, security monitoring system companies, and other businesses. The Partnership maintains a security interest in the equipment financed. Such security interest will give the Partnership the right, upon default, to obtain possession of the assets. The Partnership provided financing of $0, $0, and $166,000 during 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. As a result, the aggregate original amount of outstanding financing provided by the Partnership approximates $4.2 million at December 31, 1993, as compared to $4.2 million and $4.6 million at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The $4.2 million of financing as of December 31, 1993 is classified as follows: 99% financing to cable television systems and 1% financing to security monitoring companies.
The Partnership has equipment held for lease with a purchase price of $13,484,000, $16,645,000 and $22,535,000 with a net book value of $40,000, $549,000 and $4,098,000 at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The General Partner is actively engaged, on behalf of the Partnership, in remarketing and selling the Partnership's off-lease equipment portfolio.
The cash distributed to partners for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 are $3,794,000, $14,269,000 and $14,623,000, respectively. In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement, the limited partners are entitled to 95% of the cash available for distribution and the General Partner Page 11 of 36
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
is entitled to 5%. As a result, the limited partners received distributions of $3,794,000, $14,269,000 and $14,071,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The cumulative distributions to Limited Partners are $75,219,000, $71,425,000 and $57,156,000 at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
The General Partner received $0, $0 and $741,000 in cash distributions for the year ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. In accordance with the partnership agreement, upon termination of the Partnership, the General Partner is required to restore any deficit balance in its capital account. During 1992, the General Partner elected to make an early contribution for such deficit capital balance. In addition, the General Partner is no longer receiving payment for its share of the cash available for distribution.
The Partnership's asset portfolio continues to decline as a result of the ongoing liquidation of assets, and therefore it is expected that the cash generated from operations will also decline. As the cash generated by Partnership operations continues to decline, the rate of cash distributions made to limited partners will also decline. During 1993, the Partnership reduced the cash distributions to partners due to such decline in the cash available for distribution. It is anticipated that the Partnership will make distributions to partners during 1994 at approximately the same rate as those made during 1993.
The Partnership has been adversely impacted by several factors that have caused them to achieve returns and recovery of investment in lower than anticipated amounts. The factors impacting the Partnership have been, the economic recession in the United States, the rate of obsolescence of computer equipment, the market demand and remarketability for equipment owned by the Partnership, aggressive manufacturer sales practices and a general unavailability of debt to companies. All of these factors have resulted in the decline in revenues and the reduced distributions to partners.
Cash generated from leasing and financing operations has been and is anticipated to continue to be sufficient to meet the Partnership's ongoing operational expenses and debt service.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1993
Note 1. Organization and Partnership Matters.
Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund II, a California limited partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed on June 28, 1984, to invest in capital equipment of various types and to lease such equipment to third parties on either a long- term or short-term basis, and to provide financing to emerging growth companies and cable television system operators. The Partnership's minimum investment requirements were met November 24, 1986. The Partnership's termination date is December 31, 1997.
For financial reporting purposes, Partnership income shall be allocated as follows: (a) first, to the General Partner until the cumulative income so allocated is equal to the cumulative distributions to the General Partner, (b) second, before redemption fees, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners until the cumulative income so allocated is equal to any cumulative Partnership loss and syndication expenses for the current and all prior accounting periods, and (c) the balance, if any, to the Unit Holders. All Partnership losses shall be allocated, before redemption fees, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Unit Holders.
The General Partner is entitled to receive 5% of all cash distributions until the Limited Partners have recovered their initial capital contributions plus a cumulative return of 12% per annum. Thereafter, the General Partner will receive 15% of all cash distributions. In the event the General Partner has a deficit balance in its capital account at the time of partnership liquidation, it will be required to contribute the amount of such deficit to the Partnership. During the year ended December 31, 1992, the General Partner elected to make an early contribution of $1,404,000, and the $189,000 in accrued distributions to the General Partner at December 31, 1991 was reversed. In addition, the General Partner did not draw its share of the 1993 and 1992 cash available for distribution.
As compensation for management services, the General Partner receives a fee payable quarterly, in an amount equal to 3.5%, subject to certain limitations, of the Partnership's gross revenues for the quarter from which such payment is being made, which revenues shall include, but are not limited to, rental receipts, maintenance fees, proceeds from the sale of equipment and interest income.
The General Partner will be compensated for services performed in connection with the analysis of assets available to the Partnership, the selection of such assets and the acquisition thereof, including obtaining lessees for the equipment, negotiating and concluding master lease agreements with certain lessees. As compensation for such acquisition services, the General Partner will receive a fee equal to 4%, subject to certain limitations, of (a) the purchase price of equipment acquired by the Partnership, or equipment leased to customers

by manufacturers, the financing for which is provided by the Partnership, or (b) financing provided to businesses such as cable operators, emerging growth companies, or security monitoring system companies, payable upon such acquisition or financing, as the case may be. As of December 31, 1993, $6,872,000 had been paid or accrued to the General Partner for its acquisition fee. Acquisition fees are amortized over the life of the assets principally on a straight-line basis.
Phoenix Securities, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, has contracted with or employs certain persons who have performed wholesaling activities in connection with the offering of the units through broker-dealers. As of December 31, 1993, $1,336,000 has been paid or accrued to Phoenix Securities, Inc.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Leasing Operations. The Partnership's leasing operations consist of both financing and operating leases. The financing method of accounting for leases records as unearned income at the inception of the lease, the excess of net rentals receivable and estimated residual value at the end of the lease term, over the cost of equipment leased. Unearned income is credited to income monthly over the term of the lease on a declining basis to provide an approximate level rate of return on the unrecovered cost of the investment. Initial direct costs of consummating new leases are capitalized and included in the cost of equipment.
Under the operating method of accounting for leases, the leased equipment is recorded as an asset at cost and depreciated primarily on an accelerated depreciation method over the estimated useful life of six years, except for equipment leased under vendor agreements, which is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, ranging up to six years.
The Partnership's policy is to review periodically the expected economic life of its rental equipment in order to determine the probability of recovering its undepreciated cost. Such reviews address, among other things, recent and anticipated technological developments affecting computer equipment and competitive factors within the computer marketplace. Although remarketing rental rates are expected to decline in the future with respect to some of the Partnership's rental equipment, such rentals are expected to exceed projected expenses and depreciation. Where reviews of the equipment portfolio indicate that rentals plus anticipated sales proceeds will not exceed expenses in any future period, the Partnership revises its depreciation policy and accelerates depreciation as appropriate. As a result of such periodic

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued).
reviews, the Partnership recognized additional depreciation expense of $0, $12,000 and $1,812,000 ($0, $.03 and $4.75 per limited partnership unit) for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Rental income for the year is determined on the basis of rental payments due for the period under the terms of the lease. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals of the leased equipment are charged to expense.
Non Cash Investing Activities. During the year ended December 31, 1993, the Partnership reclassified two foreclosed notes receivable from Notes Receivable to Investment in Foreclosed Cable Systems on the balance sheet. The amount of such reclassification was $780,000.
Reclassification. Certain 1992 and 1991 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1993 presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. This includes deposits at banks, investments in money market funds and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days.
Credit and Collateral. The Partnership's activities have been concentrated in the equipment leasing and financing industry. A credit evaluation is performed by the General Partner for all leases and loans made, with the collateral requirements determined on a case-by-case basis. The Partnership's loans are generally secured by the equipment or assets financed and, in some cases, other collateral of the borrower. In the event of default, the Partnership has the right to foreclose upon the collateral used to secure such loans.
Note 3. Accounts Receivable.
Accounts receivable consist of the following at December 31:
1993 1992 (Amounts in Thousands)
Lease payments $ 636 $ 920 Other 79 168 Interest - 3 715 1,091
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts receivable (453) (468)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 1993
Note 4. Notes Receivable.
Notes receivable consist of the following at December 31:
1993 1992 (Amounts in Thousands)
Notes receivable from cable television system operators with stated interest ranging from 17% to 19% per annum, receivable in installments ranging from 60 to 108 months, collateralized by a security interest in the cable system assets. These notes have a graduated repayment schedule followed by a balloon payment. $2,282 $3,176
Notes receivable from security monitoring companies with stated interest at 16% per annum, with payments to be taken out of the monthly payments received from assigned contracts, collateralized by all assets of the borrower. At the end of 48 months, the remaining balance, if any, is due and payable. 46 49 2,328 3,225
Less: allowance for losses on notes receivable (368) (253)
Total $1,960 $2,972
The Partnership's notes receivable to cable television system operators provide a payment rate in an amount that is usually less than the contractual interest rate. The difference between the payment rate and the contractual interest rate is added to the principal and therefore deferred until the maturity date of the note. Upon maturity of the note, the original principal and deferred interest is due and payable in full. Although the contractual interest rates may be higher, effective January 1, 1993, the amount of interest being recognized on the Partnership's outstanding notes receivable to cable television system operators is being limited to the amount of the payments received, thereby deferring the recognition of a portion of the deferred interest until the loan is paid off. During 1992 and 1991, the Partnership had been limiting the amount of interest income to 16% on these notes receivable.

DECEMBER 31, 1993
Note 5. Equipment on Operating Leases and Investment in Financing Leases.
Equipment on lease consists primarily of computer peripheral equipment, computer mainframes and reproduction equipment.
The Partnership's operating leases are for initial lease terms of approximately 12 to 48 months. During the remaining terms of existing operating leases, the Partnership will not recover all of the undepreciated cost and related expenses of its rental equipment, and therefore must remarket a portion of its equipment in future years.
The Partnership has agreements with some of the manufacturers of its equipment, whereby such manufacturers will undertake to remarket off-lease equipment on a best-efforts basis. This agreement permits the Partnership to assume the remarketing function directly if certain conditions contained in the agreements are not met. For their remarketing services, the manufacturers are paid a percentage of net monthly rentals.
The Partnership has entered into direct lease arrangements with lessees consisting of Fortune 1000 companies and other businesses in different industries located throughout the United States. Generally, it is the responsibility of the lessee to provide maintenance on leased equipment. The General Partner administers the equipment portfolio of leases acquired through the direct leasing program. Administration includes the collection of rents from the lessees and remarketing of the equipment.
The net investment in financing leases consists of the following at December 31:
1993 1992 (Amounts in Thousands)
Minimum lease payments to be received $ 959 $1,380 Estimated residual value of leased equipment (unguaranteed) 140 175 Less: unearned income (101) (184) allowance for early termination - (4)
Net investment in financing leases $ 998 $1,367
Minimum rentals to be received on noncancellable operating and financing leases for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

The Partnership receives contingent monthly rental payments on its reproduction equipment that is not included in the minimum rentals to be received. The contingent monthly rentals consist of a monthly rental payment that is based upon actual machine usage. The monthly usage charge included in income for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 was $640,000, $978,000 and $1,370,000, respectively.
The net book value of equipment held for lease at December 31, 1993 and 1992 amounted to $40,000 and $549,000, respectively.
The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership and sixteen other affiliated partnerships, filed suit against one manufacturer of its equipment. The partnerships allege that this manufacturer breached certain agreements with respect to the equipment portfolios. The suit seeks damages and attorney's fees in unspecified amounts. The Partnership will recognize any such amounts in income when received.
Note 6. In-Substance Foreclosed Cable Systems.
The Partnership has reclassified two nonperforming outstanding notes receivable from cable television system operators to In-Substance Foreclosed Cable Systems where in-substance foreclosure has occurred. Upon reclassification, these notes are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair market value of the cable system. The Partnership, along with other affiliated partnerships managed by the General Partner, has a total carrying value in these cable systems of $1,399,000. The net carrying value of the Partnership's investment is $780,000 which represents a 56% pro rata interest in the total investment.
In order to maximize the recovery of the Partnership's investment, the General Partner anticipates that upon foreclosure, it will hold and manage the operations of the foreclosed cable systems, on behalf of the partnerships, until such time that the General Partner can sell the cable television systems.

Principal payments of $174,000 are due in 1994.
Note 9. Income Taxes.
Federal and state income tax regulations provide that taxes on the income or loss of the Partnership are reportable by the partners in their individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for such taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
In 1993, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). One of the requirements of SFAS 109 is for a public enterprise that is not subject to income taxes, because its income is taxed directly to its owners, to disclose the net difference between the tax basis and the reported amounts of the enterprise's assets and liabilities.
