NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June
30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
NOTE B - NET INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCING LEASES AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
The Partnership's net investment in direct financing leases and notes receivable
consists of the following:
June 30, 2003 December 31, 2002
-------------- --------------
Minimum lease payments receivable $ 1,631,789 $ 2,343,231
Estimated unguaranteed residual values 228,653 242,762
Unamortized initial direct costs -0- 1
Unearned income (294,893) (360,026)
Notes receivable 948,584 1,391,637
-------------- --------------
Net investment in direct financing leases and notes receivable $ 2,514,133 $ 3,617,605
============== ==============
NOTE C - CONTINGENCY
The General Partner's parent has approximately $2.2 million of unsecured
subordinated debt which was due on December 31, 2002 and does not have
sufficient liquid assets to repay such amounts. The General Partner's parent is
pursuing additional financing, refinancing, and asset sales to meet its
obligations. No assurance can be provided that the General Partner's parent will
be successful in its efforts. The inability of the General Partner to continue
as a going concern as a result of the parent's inability to restructure its
debts would require the Partnership to elect a successor general partner. The
new general partner could require additional fees and charges that would have a
significant negative impact on the Partnership's operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
Results of Operations
Income derived from direct financing leases and notes receivable was $133,635
for the six months ending June 30, 2003 compared to $322,651 for the same period
of 2002. The decrease is due to a smaller portfolio of direct financing leases
and notes receivable. The Partnership's net investment in direct financing
leases and notes receivable was $2,514,133 at June 30, 2003 and $5,822,620 at
June 30, 2002. Other income of $9,704 for the first six months of 2003 is
interest income on a money market account and other investments and late charges
on lease payments, and is down from $13,576 a year ago. The Partnership had a
gain on lease terminations for the first six months of 2003 of $64,032 compared
to a gain of $25,883 for the first six months of 2002. The gain in 2003 was
primarily due to the payoff of one lessee that had previously been on a
non-accrual status.
Management fees are paid to the General Partner and represent 2% of the gross
rental payments, loan payments, and other financing payments received. These
payments were $1,347,500 the first six months of 2003 compared to $2,080,650 for
the first six months of 2002.
Administrative services were $76,800 for the first six months of 2003 compared
to $88,000 for the same period a year ago. This expense represents fees paid
monthly to the General Partner for the operation of the Partnership as defined
in the Partnership Agreement.
Interest expense for the first six months of 2003 was $0 compared to $25,387 for
the same period of 2002. This expense was incurred on the Partnership's line of
credit agreement, which was paid in full in June, 2002 and was not renewed.
Other expenses include legal, accounting, data processing, and other
miscellaneous expenses. These costs decreased from $176,330 in 2002 to $80,822
in 2003, primarily due to legal and repossession expenses incurred in 2002 as a
result of past due customers. The Partnership's delinquencies and other
conditions are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs and in the
Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The telecommunications industry has seen a significant downturn in recent years
that has adversely affected the Partnership. The value of payphones and payphone
routes has declined substantially in recent years and is due to various factors,
including but not limited to the following:
o Lack of sufficient dial around revenues for payphone operators
o Decrease in usage of payphones, due to the use of mobile phones, etc.
o Lack of economies of scale being achieved with the cost of lines purchased
from local exchange carriers
o Lack of available capital for payphone operators
o Decrease in the number of payphone operators
Management believes that these conditions may be overcome if current lobbying
efforts are successful and economic conditions become more favorable for
payphone operators. However, no assurance can be given that any of these
conditions may improve or that current values in the telecommunications industry
will not continue to decline.
The allowance for possible loan and lease losses is based upon a continuing
review of past lease loss experience, current economic conditions, and the
underlying lease asset value of the portfolio. At the end of each quarter a
review of the allowance account is conducted. The Partnership has a total
9
allowance of $1,061,067 ($35,396 relating to other receivables) or 40% of the
portfolio of leases and notes and other receivables as of June 30, 2003. The
Partnership's provision for possible loan and lease losses was $4,000 for the
first six months of 2003 compared to $745,300 for the first six months of 2002,
and was the result of various lease and note contract delinquencies and
bankruptcy filings by several customers in 2002. Management will continue to
monitor the portfolio of leases and notes and adjust the allowance for possible
loan and lease losses accordingly.
At June 30, 2003, six customers were past due over 90 days. When a payment is
past due more than 90 days, the Partnership discontinues recognizing income on
the contract. The Partnership's net investment in the past due contracts was
$1,052,229. Management will continue to monitor the past due contracts and take
the necessary steps to protect the Partnership's investment.
The telecommunications industry has seen a significant downturn in recent years
that has adversely affected the Partnership. The net investment on the above
delinquencies of $1,052,229 represents approximately 42% of the Partnership's
total portfolio of leases and notes. Management believes its total allowance of
$1,061,067 is adequate for these customers and the remainder of the portfolio
and other receivables at June 30, 2003, based on the underlying collateral
values of the lease and note contracts for past due contracts and historical
loss ratios. However, no assurance can be given that future losses or increases
in the total allowance will not be necessary.
The Partnership's portfolio of leases and notes receivable are concentrated in
pay telephones, and office and computer equipment, representing approximately
61%, and 24%, respectively, of the portfolio at June 30, 2003. One lessee
accounts for approximately 18% of the Partnership's portfolio at June 30, 2003,
and this lessee was past due over 90 days.
Berthel Fisher & Company, Inc., the parent of the General Partner, has $2.2
million of unsecured debt that was due December 31, 2002. Berthel Fisher &
Company, Inc. has not paid this debt as of the filing of this report and is in
default. Since Berthel Fisher & Company, Inc. is in default, its creditors could
take legal action to enforce their right to repayment. Ultimately, this could
result in the bankruptcy of Berthel Fisher & Company, Inc. Since the General
Partner is a subsidiary of Berthel Fisher & Company, Inc., the bankruptcy of
Berthel Fisher & Company, Inc. could cause the General Partner to be unable to
continue as a going concern. If this were to happen, the Partnership would need
to elect or appoint a new general partner. The new general partner could require
additional fees and charges that would have a significant negative impact on the
operations of the Partnership.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership is required to establish working capital reserves of no less
than 1% of the total capital raised to satisfy general liquidity requirements,
operating costs of equipment, and the maintenance and refurbishment of
equipment. At June 30, 2003, that working capital reserve, as defined, would be
$125,930, and the Partnership had this amount available from its cash and cash
equivalents.
Cash flow from operating activities was a use of cash of $55,475 for the first
six months of 2003, compared to a source of cash of $78,258 for the same period
a year ago, resulting from the income from direct financing leases and notes
received less operating expenses. Cash flow from investing activities was
$1,167,793 for 2003, compared to $1,762,224 for 2002. The Partnership used
$1,193,712 of cash for financing activities during the first six months of 2003,
compared to a use of cash of $1,504,778 a year ago.
10
Given the current market in general as well as the specific telecommunications
market, the General Partner has determined to limit its investment in new leases
and notes receivable at this time. As cash is available, the General Partner
will continue to assess market conditions to determine whether to make
distributions or reinvest in new leases and notes receivable during the
remaining operating phase of the Partnership. In conjunction with this,
management anticipates that the current level of monthly distributions can be
sustained through December, 2003. Beginning in 2004, the Partnership will only
distribute cash as it is available. As the portfolio of leases and notes
receivable continues to decline, it is expected that expenses will exceed
revenues except to the extent the Partnership is able to generate gains on
termination.

The Partnership manages interest rate risk, its primary market risk exposure, by
limiting terms of notes receivable to no more than five years and generally
requiring full repayment ratably over the term of the note.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
-----------------------
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of
the Partnership's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003. Based on
that evaluation, the Partnership's management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Partnership's disclosure
controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material
information relating to the Partnership required to be included in the
Partnership's periodic SEC filings.
