                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
 
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjust-
ments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the 
opinion of the Partnership, necessary to a fair statement of the results for 
the interim periods.  The results of operations for such interim periods are 
not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year.  The 
December 31, 1994 balance sheet included herein is derived from the audited 
financial statements included in the Partnership's Annual Report and incorpo-
rated by reference in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, but 
does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting 
principles.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the Organization
and Significant Accounting Policies and other notes to financial statements 
included in the Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 
1994.
 
 
2.  NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT
 
Net Income Per Limited Partnership Unit is computed by dividing the net income 
allocated to the Limited Partners by the weighted average units outstanding 
(4,625,000).

             AIRLEASE LTD., A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
 
                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The partnership presently has four long-term debt facilities.  At June 30, 
1995, the following amounts were outstanding:  $14.0 million on an 8.75% non-
recourse note, collateralized by three aircraft leased to USAir; $6.7 million 
on a 7.4% non-recourse note collateralized by one aircraft leased to FedEx; 
$6.5 million under a non-recourse long-term revolving declining variable 
interest loan facility collateralized by a fourth aircraft leased to USAir;
and $0.4 on a non-recourse variable interest loan facility which bears
interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and is collateralized by the partnership's 
interest in one aircraft leased to Finnair Oy.  Under an interest-rate-cap 
agreement, the LIBOR rate cannot exceed 8.5%.  Approximately $4.3 million of
the revolving facilities' borrowing capacity remains available.
 
Long-term borrowings at June 30, 1995 represented 18.5% of the original cost 
of aircraft presently owned by the partnership, including capitalized expendi-
tures for upgrades.  The terms of the Partnership Agreement permit debt to be 
at a level not exceeding 50% of such cost.
 
Cash distributions paid in the first six months of 1995 amounted to $4,392,000 
versus $4,298,000 in the first six months of 1994, an increase of $94,000.  
This increase in cash distribution reflects increased cash available from 
operations as defined in the Partnership Agreement.  
 
In June 1995, the partnership declared a $0.50 per unit quarterly distribution 
amounting to $2,336,000, an increase of $140,000 from the prior quarterly 
distribution.  The increase reflects receipt of past-due rent from TWA and the 
partnership's policy of distributing all cash available from operations which 
can vary based upon receipt of rent and payment of expenses.  Such distribution
exceeded second quarter net income of $1,793,000 which resulted in a return of 
capital and a decline in limited partners' equity of $543,000.  The second-
quarter cash distribution is payable on August 15, 1995 to unitholders of 
record as of the close of business on June 30, 1995.
 
Results of Operations
 
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was $1,793,000, an increase of 
$118,000 or 7% over the comparable 1994 three-month period.  For the six-month 
period ended June 30, 1995, net income was $3,449,000, an increase of 3.3% over
the comparable 1994 six-month period.  Improved results for the three- and 
six-month period primarily reflect lower borrowing costs.  

Revenues for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 1995 were $3,221,000
and $6,324,000 respectively, compared with $3,194,000 and $6,385,000 for the 
comparable 1994 periods.  Increased finance lease income for the three-month 
period ended June 30, 1995 reflects the recognition of past-due rents from
TWA offset in part by the normal reduction in finance lease income as the 
portfolio matures.  The decline in finance lease income for the six-month 
period reflects this normal reduction as the portfolio matures.  Increased 
operating lease rentals for both the three- and six-month 1995 periods reflect 
the re-lease of an aircraft to Sun Jet in late 1994.  Reduction in other income
for both the three and six-month 1995 periods results primarily from a one-time
sale of aircraft parts which occurred in the second-quarter period of 1994.

Portfolio Matters
 
TWA recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a prepackaged plan of 
reorganization, and has reported that it could emerge from bankruptcy as soon 
as September 1995.  The airline has also stated it expects normal operations 
would continue during the bankruptcy period without any impairment to the 
airline's trade creditors.  TWA resumed making its scheduled rent payments in 
February, and as agreed, paid half of the past-due amount in April and the 
balance paid in July.
 
As discussed in the partnership's first quarter report, one of the seven 
Continental aircraft was damaged while on the ground.  A determination has been
made that the aircraft (which at June 30, 1995 represented less than 1% of 
total assets based on the partnership's one-third interest) is a total loss.  
The insurance proceeds are expected to cover the partnership's loss.  In light 
of current conditions in the aircraft market and the relatively small insurance
proceeds, the partnership does not intend to invest the proceeds in additional 
aircraft.
