ZOND-PANAERO WINDSYSTEM PARTNERS I
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the
Partnership's general partner, necessary to a fair statement
of the results for the periods presented. The results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of results for the full year.
2. The Partnership's limited partnership agreement allows the
Partnership's general partner to determine the method for
maintaining the Partnership's accounting records. Until
1987, the records were maintained on a cash basis. However,
Section 481 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Act")
prescribed a change, effective January 1, 1987, in the
accounting method for certain tax shelters having corporate
general partners, including the Partnership, to require
tax-basis accrual accounting. In accordance with Section
481 of the Act, differences between the two bases were
recognized for federal income tax purposes ratably by the
Partnership over a three year period. Below are
reconciliations between the Partnership's tax-basis accrual
financial statements and its GAAP basis accrual financial
statements included herein for both results of operations,
partners' capital balances and total assets.

4. During all periods presented in these financial statements,
1,190 units of limited partnership interests were
outstanding.
5. As a "Special Limited Partner" of the Partnership, Dean
Witter Reynolds, Inc. is entitled to receive 5% of all
Partnership distributions made after the date on which the
cumulative aggregate distributions to the Partnership's limited
partners exceed $10,000,000.
6. Following its removal as a general partner of the
Partnership effective June 24, 1988, PanAero Management
Corporation became a substituted limited partner of the
Partnership with the same capital account and interest in
profits and losses as it had as a general partner.
7. In accordance with the 1988 agreement between Zond Systems,
Inc.("Zond") and the placement agent, Zond forgave its
share, as a joint venture partner of Mesa Wind Developers,
of certain indebtedness owed by the Partnership to such
joint venture representing management fees, easement
royalties and other miscellaneous expenses related to
windsystem operations.
8. No provision has been made for income taxes in the
accompanying financial statements. The Partnership, as an
entity, is not assessed taxes based upon income generated by
its operations its operations. Income taxes, if any, are the
liability of the individual partners.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Zond-PanAero Windsystem Partners I, a California Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed in 1984 to purchase,
own, and operate a wind-driven electric power generating facility
located near Palm Springs, California (the "Windsystem"). The
electricity generated by the Windsystem is sold to Southern
California Edison Company. The general partner of the
Partnership is Zond Windsystems Management Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Zond Systems, Inc. ("Zond").
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership continues to experience a lack of liquidity
primarily due to a continued short-fall in revenues from
operations in comparison to the costs and expenses of operations.
Accordingly, interest payments on the Purchase Notes were in arrears
at March 31, 1996 in the aggregate amount of $3,981,000. The
Partnership expects that it will continue to experience poor
liquidity and to defer certain payments on the Purchase Notes.
See "Results of Operations."
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996, Compared to Three
Months Ended March 31, 1995.
Revenues from power sales in the three months ended
March 31, 1996 were approximately 51% higher than the
corresponding 1995 period. Wind energy levels at three
representative anemometer locations on the Operating Site was
approximately 36% higher than for the three months ended March 31,
1995 and was approximately 41% higher than the historical averages.
Only three anemometers are used to measure wind speed, therefore
a direct correlation to production of the entire group of
turbines cannot always be expected. As reported by
Southern California Edison Company, the Windsystem produced
12,476 megawatt hours in the three months ended March 31,
1996, in comparison to production of 8,239 megawatt hours in the
corresponding 1995 period, representing an increase in production
of approximately 51%.
The Partnership received approximately $7,000 in "other
income" from interest earned on excess operating funds in the
three months ended March 31, 1996, and approximately $1,000
in the corresponding 1995 period.
<PAGE>
Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996, were
approximately 4% lower than the corresponding 1995 period.
Maintenance and other operating costs decreased $10,000. Insurance
expense decreased 22% due to lower insurance premiums. Interest
expense decreased due to lower average principal balances on the
Purchase Notes outstanding.
Overall, the Partnership reported a loss of $179,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, in comparison to a loss of
$684,000 for the corresponding 1995 period.
The Partnership's financial condition worsened during the
three months ended March 31, 1996. The change in overall
financial condition is primarily due to the three month loss.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, total partners'
capital decreased $179,000 from $1,504,000 at December 31, 1995,
to $1,325,000 and Limited Partners' capital decreased $177,000
from $905,000 at December 31, 1995, to $728,000. This represents
a total decrease of approximately $150 per unit of partnership.
Based on historical average wind energy and current cost levels,
the Partnership expects to continue to suffer net annual operating
losses. The Partnership expects that its overall financial
condition will continue to worsen for the
foreseeable future.
