NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

      Cypress Equipment Fund, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Florida
limited partnership, was formed March 3, 1989, for the purpose of
acquiring and leasing transportation, manufacturing, industrial, and
other equipment.  The Partnership commenced operations on December
1, 1989, and will terminate on December 31, 2010, or sooner, in
accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement.  The
Partnership has received Limited and General Partner capital
contributions of $24,054,000 and $2,000, respectively.

      Cypress Equipment Management Corporation, a California
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cypress Leasing
Corporation, is the Managing General Partner; RJ Leasing - 2, Inc.,
a Florida corporation and a second-tier subsidiary of Raymond James
Financial, Inc., is the Administrative General Partner; and Raymond
James Partners, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc., is the other General
Partner.

      Cash distributions, subject to payment of the equipment
management fees, and profits and losses of the Partnership shall be
allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners.  The General Partners are being paid an incentive
management fee equal to 3.4593% of the cash available for
distribution to the extent that an individual Limited Partner's
share of such distribution causes that individual Limited Partner's
cumulative cash distributions to exceed that Limited Partner's
capital contribution.  When each Limited Partner has received
cumulative cash distributions equal to his capital contributions
plus an amount equal to 8% of adjusted capital contributions per
annum, the General Partners will receive an incentive management fee
equaling 23.4593% of cash available for distributions and an
equipment resale fee for the lesser of one half of any brokerage fee
paid for services in connection with the sale of equipment or up to
3% of the sales price of the equipment.


NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE

Partnership was pledged at time of purchase as collateral for the

NOTE 5 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

      It is the Partnership's policy to include short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or less in
Cash and Cash Equivalents.  These short-term investments are
comprised of money market mutual funds and a repurchase agreement. 
All of the Partnership's securities included in Cash and Cash
Equivalents are considered held-to-maturity.  The balance of
$2,873,082 at June 30, 1996, represents cash of $21,089, repurchase
agreement of $2,536,000, and money market mutual funds of $315,993. 
At June 30, 1996, the estimated market value of the repurchase
agreement was $2,536,000, resulting in no unrealized gain or loss.


NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

      Pursuant to an agreement entered into between the Partnership

  Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
           CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Results of Operations

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared to Six Months Ended
  June 30, 1995

      Rental income decreased from $2,722,195 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, to $1,580,178 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  This decrease resulted from equipment that provided
$1,016,710 of rental income in 1995 being sold in the intervening
period and providing $131,583 of income in 1996 and equipment that
provided $256,890 income in 1995 being off lease during 1996 and
providing no rental income in 1996.  Gain on sale of equipment
increased from $176,725 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to
$1,111,494 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Interest income
decreased for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the
six months ended June 30, 1995, due to a lower average cash balance
available for investment.

      Interest expense decreased from $208,297 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, to $90,393 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  This decrease primarily resulted from a lower average level
of debt during the period.  Management fee expense decreased due to
lower rental income.  Depreciation expense decreased for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 versus the same period in 1995, because
the Partnership had a lower depreciable basis of equipment as a
result of sales during the last twelve months.

      The net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted
in a net income of $1,751,416 for the six months ended June 30,
1996, compared to a net income of $1,210,324 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.

      Notes payable decreased during the six months ended June 30,
1996, due to  $839,980 of principal payments on notes.

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared to Three Months Ended
  June 30, 1995.

      Rental income decreased from $1,310,129 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, to $724,298 for the three months ended June 30,
1996.  This decrease resulted from equipment that provided $457,386
of rental income in 1995 being sold in the intervening period and
providing no rental income in 1996 and equipment that provided
$128,445 of rental income in 1995 being off lease during 1996 and
providing no rental income in 1996.  Interest income decreased for
the three months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 1995, due to a lower average cash balance
available for investment.<PAGE>

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
           CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

  Results of Operations (Continued)

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared to Three Months Ended
  June 30, 1995

      Interest expense decreased from $94,218 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, to $40,649 for the three months ended June 30,
1996.  This decrease primarily resulted from a lower average level
of debt during the period.  Management fee expense decreased due to
lower rental income.  Depreciation expense decreased for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 versus the same period in 1995, because
the Partnership had a lower depreciable basis of equipment as a
result of sales during the last twelve months.

      The net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted
in a net income of $273,802 for the three months ended June 30,
1996, compared to a net income of $640,666 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995.

      Notes payable decreased during the three months ended June 30,
1996, due to $424,457 of principal payments on notes.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The primary source of funds for the six months ended June 30,
1996, were $1,580,178 from leasing revenues and $2,517,158 of
proceeds from the sale of equipment.  These funds were used to make
$839,980 of notes payments and $710,383 of distributions and to pay
operating expenses.  As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had
$2,873,082 of Cash and Cash Equivalents.

      In the opinion of the General Partners there are no material
trends, favorable or unfavorable, in the Partnership's capital
resources, and the resources will be sufficient to meet the
Partnership's needs for the foreseeable future.

      Short-term liquidity requirements consist of funds needed to
meet administrative expenses, debt retirement, and cash
distributions.  These short term needs will be funded by Cash and
Cash Equivalents at June 30, 1996, and rental income and proceeds
from sales during 1996.

      In the opinion of the General Partners, the Partnership has
sufficient funds or sources of funds to remain liquid for the
expected life of the Partnership.  The General Partners are not
aware of any trends that significantly affect the Partnership's
liquidity.
