                 NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all
adjustments (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 incorporated 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 September 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; $7.4 million under a non-recourse long-term revolving declining variable
interest loan facility collateralized by a fourth aircraft leased to USAir; and
$0.6 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 $2.6 million of the revolving
facilities' borrowing capacity remains available.

Long-term borrowings at September 30, 1995 represent 19.2% of the original cost
of aircraft presently owned by the partnership, including capitalized
expenditures 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 nine months of 1995 amounted to $6,728,000
versus $6,447,000 in the first nine months of 1994, an increase of $281,000.
This increase in cash distribution principally reflects increased cash
available from operations as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

In September 1995, the partnership declared a $0.50 per unit quarterly
distribution amounting to $2,336,000, equal to the prior quarterly
distribution. Such distribution exceeded third quarter net income of $1,725,000
which resulted in a return of capital of $611,000. The partnership also
declared a special cash distribution of $0.10 per unit from the casualty
proceeds received on the partnership's one-third interest in one 737-200
aircraft which was declared a total loss. The partnership elected to make a
special distribution after considering the small amount of casualty proceeds
and the present lack of new investment opportunities which would provide an
acceptable return to unitholders. Both cash distributions are payable on
November 15, 1995 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on
September 29, 1995. As stated in its prospectus, Airlease's intention is to
distribute all cash available from operations, which can vary based upon
receipt of rent and payment of expenses. The partnership may also distribute
cash available from sales, refinancings, or casualty proceeds.

Results of Operations

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was $1,725,000, an increase
of $104,000 or 6% over the comparable 1994 three-month period. For the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, net income was $5,174,000, an
increase of 4.3% over the comparable 1994 nine-month period. Improved results
for the three-and nine-month period primarily reflect lower interest expenses
resulting from lower outstanding balances on the partnership's borrowing
facilities discussed above. Total revenues for the three-and nine-month period
ended September 30, 1995 were $3,179,000 and $9,503,000, respectively, compared
with $3,180,000 and $9,565,000 for the comparable 1994 periods. Third quarter
finance lease income declined reflecting the normal reduction as the portfolio
matures. Operating rentals also declined reflecting the Continental casualty
loss. Other income increased reflecting a small book gain from the casualty
proceeds received on the 737-200 aircraft and higher interest income from notes
receivable. For the 1995 nine-month period, finance lease income declined
reflecting the normal reduction as the portfolio matures offset by the increase
in operating lease rentals from the re-lease of an aircraft to Sun Jet.

Portfolio Matters

USAir, the partnership's major lessee (69% of total assets at September 30,
1995) recently announced it is holding discussions with United Airlines and
American Airlines concerning possible strategic relationships up to and
including acquisition of the airline. Any such discussions will be closely
monitored by the partnership.

TWA (7% of total assets at September 30, 1995) emerged from bankruptcy in
August, one month earlier than expected. The airline is current on its
scheduled monthly rent payments.
