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

     As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership has no outstanding notes payable.

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

  Results of Operations

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1997, Compared to Six Months Ended
     June 30, 1996
     
     Rental income decreased from $1,580,178 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, to $367,346 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The
Partnership is winding down its operations and the remaining equipment is
now off lease.  The final lease payments of $367,346 are for three leases
that provided $1,558,283 of rental income for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  Interest income remained about the same for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.
     
     Interest expense decreased from $90,393 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, to $1,621 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  This decrease
primarily resulted from all debt being retired during the intervening
period.  Depreciation expense decreased for the six months ended June 30,
1997 versus the same period in 1996, because the Partnership had a lower
depreciable basis of equipment as a result of sales during the last twelve
months.
     
     Management Fee expense decreased due to lower rental income for the
six months ended June 30,1997.  Incentive fees increased from $18,525 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $678,979 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997.  Incentive fees increased because cumulative limited partner
distributions surpassed the level which causes a higher incentive fee rate.
     
     Equipment resale fees increased from $0 for the six months ended June
30, 1996 to $351,196 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The Equipment
resale fee was deferred, without interest, until the Limited Partners began
receiving cumulative cash distributions equal to payout plus an amount
equal to 8% of adjusted capital contributions per annum cumulative from
each limited partner's closing date.
     
     During the six months ended June 30, 1996 Rental Equipment with an
original cost of $2,742,200 was sold for a gain of $1,111,494 and Rental
Equipment Held for Sale with an original cost of $424,373 was sold at a
loss of $14,713.  During the six months ended June 30, 1997 Rental
Equipment with an original cost of $10,470,886 was sold for a gain of
$1,802,731 and Rental Equipment Held for Sale with an original cost of
$4,426,309 was sold at a loss of $195,865.
     
     The net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted in a
net income of $836,429 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to
a net income of $1,751,416 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
     
     All Notes payable were paid off during the six months ended June 30,
1997.<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS  OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1997, Compared to Three Months Ended
  June 30, 1996.

     Rental income decreased from $724,298 for the three months ended June
30, 1996, to $290,321 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  This
decrease resulted primarily from equipment that provided $462,154 of rental
income in the second quarter of 1996 being sold in the intervening period.
The income for the quarter was final payments for lessees that kept their
equipment beyond the original lease term.  Interest income decreased for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 1996, due to a lower average cash balance available for
investment.

     Interest expense decreased from $40,649 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  This
decrease resulted from all debt having been paid off.  Management fee
expense remained about the same due to the final lease payments.
Depreciation expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 1997
versus the same period in 1996 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 $25,540 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to
a net income of $273,802 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
     

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The primary source of funds for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
were $367,346 from leasing revenues and $5,659,831 from sale proceeds.
These funds were principally used to pay notes payable of $452,427 to pay
distributions of $4,909,324.  As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership had
$1,515,947 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 and cash distributions.  These short term needs
will be funded by Cash and Cash Equivalents at June 30, 1997 and proceeds
from sales during 1997.

     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.
