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

     Cash distributions, subject to payment of the equipment management

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.

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

  Results of Operations

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1998, Compared to Six Months Ended
     June 30, 1997
     
     Rental income decreased from $367,346 for the six months ended June
30, 1997 to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The final lease
payments of $367,346 were for three leases for the six months ended June
30, 1997. Income from Sales Type Lease increased from $0 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 to $69,856 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
This income is due to income received from the lease of the last remaining
asset, classified as Investment in Sales Type lease on the balance sheet.
The Partnership is winding down its operations and the last remaining asset
has now been sold.  Interest income decreased for the six months ended June
30, 1998, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997 due to a lower
average cash balance available for investment.  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.
     
     Management Fee expense decreased due to lower rental income for the
six months ended June 30, 1998.  Incentive fees decreased from $678,979 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $227,996 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998.  Incentive fees decreased as the limited partner
distributions were less in 1998 than in 1997.
     
     Interest expense decreased from $1,621 for the six months ended June
30, 1997, to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  This decrease
resulted from all debt being retired during the intervening period.
Depreciation expense was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997.
     
     Equipment resale fees decreased from $351,196 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The Equipment
resale fee was deferred last year, 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.
     
     The net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted in a
net loss of $176,264 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to a
net income of $836,429 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
     
     All Notes payable were paid off during the six months ended June 30,
1997.

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1998, Compared to Three Months Ended
  June 30, 1997.

     Rental income decreased from $290,321 for the three months ended June
30, 1997, to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 1998.  This decrease
was a result of equipment that provided rental income in the second quarter
of 1997 being sold in the intervening period.  Income from Sales Type Lease
increased from $0 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $33,993 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998.  This income is due to income
received from the lease of the last remaining asset, classified as
Investment in Sales Type lease on the balance sheet.  Interest income
decreased for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 1997, due to a lower average cash balance
available for investment.  Management fee expense decreased due to lower
rental income.
     
     The net effect of the above revenue and expense items resulted in a
net income of $18,885 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to
a net income of $25,540 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
     

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The primary source of funds for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
was $69,856 from income from Sales Type Lease.  As of June 30, 1998, the
Partnership had $441,461 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, 1998 and proceeds
from sales during 1998.

     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.
     
     Cash and Cash Equivalents at June 30, 1998, was $441,461.  The
Partnership had a net loss of $176,264 for the six months ended June 30,
1998.  After adjusting for depreciation and amortization and the changes in
operating assets and liabilities, net cash used in operating activities was
$404,791.  Cash provided by investing activities was $150,085 from the
Investment in Sales Type Lease.  Cash used in financing activities totaled
$743,883, used for distributions.

     Actual cash distributions for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997, were $743,883 and $710,383, respectively.
