                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 opera- 
tions for a full year.  The December 31, 1995 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, 1995, 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, 1995.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid 
investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. 
For Cash and Cash Equivalents, the carrying amount is stated at fair value.


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).

<PAGE>
                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 three long-term debt facilities.  At June 30,
1996,  the  following  amounts  were  outstanding:  $11.1  million  on an 8.75%
non-recourse note collateralized by three aircraft leased to USAir; $6.3 
million on a 7.4% non-recourse note collateralized by one aircraft leased to 
FedEx; and $4.7 million under a  non-recourse long-term revolving declining 
variable interest loan facility collateralized by a fourth aircraft leased to 
USAir. Approximately $1.7 million remains available under the revolving loan 
facility.

Long-term borrowing at June 30, 1996 represented 16% of the original cost
of the aircraft presently owned by the partnership, including capital
expenditures for upgrades. The terms of the Partnership Agreement permit debt 
to be at a level not exceeding 50% of such cost.

Declared cash distributions for the first quarter 1996 of $2,336,000 and
first quarter 1995 of $2,196,000 were paid in the second quarter ending 
June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively. Increased cash distributions 
paid in the first quarter 1996 reflected higher cash available from operations 
as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

In May 1996, the partnership declared a special cash distribution of $0.80
per unit to unitholders of record on May 20, 1996 which was paid on May 31,
1996. In March, the partnership sold its 50% interest in an MD-82 aircraft. As 
a result of this sale, a special cash distribution of $0.80 was paid to
unitholders in May from the proceeds of the sale.

In June 1996, the partnership declared a $0.45 per unit quarterly distribution 
amounting to $2,102,000 payable on August 15, 1996 to unitholders of record on 
June 28, 1996. This distribution exceeded second quarter net income of 
$1,588,000.

Results of Operations

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $1,588,000, a
decrease of $205,000 or 11% over the comparable 1995 three-month period.
Second-quarter 1996 revenues were $2,717,000 compared with last year's revenues
of $3,221,000. Lower earnings and revenues for the 1996 three-month period are
primarily attributable to the sale of a 50% interest in one MD-82 aircraft in
March, last year's casualty loss of a one-third interest in one 737-200
aircraft, and the normal runoff of finance lease income as the portfolio
matures.

Earnings for the 1996 six-month period were $3,759,000, an increase of 9%
compared with the six-month period ended June 30, 1996. Revenues for the 1996
period were $6,148,000 compared with last year's revenues of $6,324,000. Lower
revenues primarily reflect a lower level of income as the portfolio matures,
partially offset by a gain on sale of aircraft. While revenues declined,
expenses declined further, resulting from lower depreciation and interest
expense.

<PAGE>
Recent Developments

As of June 30, 1996, the partnership owned interests in 14 aircraft. Six
Boeing 737-200 aircraft on lease to Continental Airlines, representing less 
than 2% of assets, are scheduled to come off-lease at December 31, 1996. The
partnership has entered into an agreement to sell its one-third interest in
these aircraft at lease expiration. Assuming the transaction is consummated, 
the sale will  result in net sale  proceeds  of $2.9  million  and a gain on 
sale of approximately $1.9 million.  The General Partner has not yet determined
the best use of the sale proceeds, which may include reinvestment, repayment 
of debt, or a special cash distribution.

On July 26, 1996, USL Capital Corporation and BankAmerica Corporation
announced agreement for BankAmerica Leasing and Capital Group affiliates to
acquire approximately $1.8 billion in assets from USL Capital Corporation,
including USL Capital's interests in Airlease Management Services, Inc., the
General Partner of Airlease Ltd. and in United States Airlease Holding, Inc.,
which holds 22% of the limited partnership units. Following the sale,
BankAmerica will manage the commercial aircraft of Airlease Ltd. and the
aircraft presently owned by USL Capital Corporation. The Airlease transactions
are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
