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 wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cypress Leasing Corporation, is the Managing General
Partner; RJ Leasing - 2, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RJ
Leasing, Inc., is the Administrative General Partner; and Raymond
James Partners, Inc., 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 3.4659% 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 a management fee equaling
23.4659% 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 3% of the sales
price of the equipment.

NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE

      A significant amount of the property acquired by the
Partnership was pledged at time of purchase as collateral for the
notes payable.<PAGE>

                          March 31, 1996

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 commercial paper.  All of
the Partnership's securities included in Cash and Cash Equivalents
are considered held-to-maturity.  The balance of $783,961 at March
31, 1996, represents cash of $9,138, cost plus accreted interest
income on commercial paper of $448,569, and money market mutual
funds of $326,254.  At March 31, 1996, the estimated market value of
the commercial paper was  $448,569, resulting in no unrealized gain
or loss.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

      Pursuant to an agreement entered into between the Partnership
and the seller of the initial specified equipment, the Partnership
agreed to pay the seller fifteen percent (15%) of all residual
proceeds in excess of $7,094,795 with respect to the initial
specified equipment.  The original cost of the applicable initial
specified equipment owned by the Partnership at March 31, 1996 was
$92,576.  Residual proceeds means all sums received with respect to
the initial specified equipment in the form of (i) re-lease
proceeds, (ii) sale proceeds, and (iii) other payments made or
consideration received pursuant to the terms of the leases
underlying the initial specified equipment following the end of the
initial lease terms less rebuilding costs and disposition expense. 
At March 31, 1996, residual proceeds of the initial specified
equipment had exceeded $7,094,795 and the agreed percentage of all
applicable proceeds has been paid to the seller.  The agreed
percentage of all remaining proceeds will be paid to Cypress Leasing
Corporation upon remarketing of the remaining initial specified
equipment.  (See Note 3 - Compensation and Reimbursements to General
Partners and Affiliates)

                            (a Limited Partnership)

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



     Results of Operations

     Rental income decreased from $1,412,066 for the three months ended March 
31, 1995, to $855,880 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This decrease
resulted because rental equipment which was on lease during the first period was
sold in the intervening period and provided no rental income in 1996 and rental
equipment which was on lease during the first period came off lease in the
intervening period and provided no rental income in 1996.  Interest income
decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1995, due to less cash available for short term
investments.  There was a net gain on sale of equipment for $1,111,776 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.

     Interest expense decreased from $114,079 for the three months ended March
31, 1995, to $49,744 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This decrease
primarily resulted from a decreased average level of debt during the period. 
Management fee expense decreased due to lower rental income.  Depreciation
expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 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 $1,477,614 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to
a net income of $569,658 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

     Notes payable decreased during the three months ended March 31, 1996, due
to $415,523 of principal payments on notes.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The primary source of funds for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was
$855,880 from leasing revenues.  These funds and Cash and Cash Equivalents at
December 31, 1995, were used to make $415,523 of notes payments and $356,008 of
distributions, and to pay operating expenses.  As of March 31, 1996, the
Partnership had $783,961 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 December 31, 1995, 
and rental income and proceeds from sales during 1996.<PAGE>

           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


     Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

     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.

     The cash balance at March 31, 1996 was $783,961.  The Partnership had net
income of $1,477,614 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  After adjusting
for depreciation and amortization and the changes in operating assets and
liabilities, net cash provided by operating activities was $575,274.  Cash 
flows provided by investing activities were $153,375 from the sale of 
equipment.  Cash used in financing activities totaled $773,031, which was 
primarily payments on notes payable of $415,523 and distributions of $356,008.

1995, were $356,008 and $607,424, respectively.
