Note 1 - The Partnership and Basis of Preparation

         The  accompanying  financial  statements of Redwood  Equipment  Leasing
Income Fund L.P. (the  "Partnership")  do not include all of the information and
note  disclosures   normally  included  in  financial   statements  prepared  in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The unaudited interim
financial  statements  reflect  all  adjustments  which are,  in the  opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited
interim financial  information  should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements contained in the 1995 Annual Report.


Note 2 - Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The  Partnership  considers all  short-term  investments  with original
maturities  of  three  months  or  less  as  cash  equivalents.  Cash  and  cash
equivalents  consist of cash,  money market accounts and other liquid short term
investments and are stated at cost, which approximates market value, at June 30,
1996 and December 31, 1995.


Note 3 - Related Party Transactions

         The  Partnership's  General  Partner earned an asset  management fee of
$6,141 each quarter (3% of  distributions  to investors) and received or was due
reimbursement  of $8,025 and  $13,530  for certain  costs  incurred  relating to
administrative  services for the Partnership for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

         As the management  agent,  Signet is entitled to an equipment and lease
management fee equal to 1.5% of gross lease rental payments as well as a fee for
services  provided in acquiring  and disposing of leased  assets.  For the three
months  ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995,  Signet  earned  $3,054  and  $5,957,
respectively in management and disposition fees.


Note 4 - Leases

         Investment in direct  finance leases with initial terms ranging from 34

          In May, 1996,  pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan of  Reorganization  for
Financial News Network ("FNN"), the Partnership received and recorded $29,516 as
a net gain from  sale of leased  equipment  from Data  Broadcasting  Corporation
(successor to FNN) as the  remaining  settlement  of the  Partnership's  Class 2
claim against FNN. The Partnership  had written off all receivables  relating to
this transaction in 1990.

Note 4 - Leases - continued

          The  partnership  has  been  unable  to  identify   acceptable   lease
opportunities through the first half of 1996. The Partnership is approaching the
end of the  Investment  Period  and  prior  to the end of 1996  will  enter  the
Liquidation Phase.

          All leases in the  Partnership's  portfolio  are  classified as direct
finance leases.


Note 5 - Net Earnings per Unit of Assigned Limited Partnership Interest

          Net  earnings  per unit of assignee  limited  partnership  interest is
disclosed  on the  Statements  of  Operations  and is based upon  401,180  units
outstanding.


Note 6 - Subsequent Events

          In  August,  1996,  the  Partnership  will  make a  cash  distribution
totaling  $204,704 of which 98% will be allocated to assignee limited  partners.
This distribution will be derived from net cash provided by operating activities
and principal  payments  received on direct finance leases.  Holders of assignee
limited  partnership  interests will receive cash  distributions of $.50 per $25
unit.

                              Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                                        Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June 30, 1996, the Partnership  had a working capital  position that
included  cash and cash  equivalents  of  $2,613,541  and  accounts  payable and
accrued  expenses of $13,262.  The  Partnership  invests its cash  balances in a
money  market  account  and other  high  quality  short  term  investments.  The
Partnership  initially  allocated  $100,295 (1% of offering proceeds) as working
capital  reserves,  but has the  discretion to increase or decrease  reserves as
deemed necessary.  The unexpended offering proceeds and working capital reserves
are sufficient to satisfy the Partnership's liquidity requirements.

         Cash and cash equivalents  increased  $69,266 during the second quarter
of 1996. This increase  represented  the combined effect of $64,540  provided by
operating activities,  $179,914 received in principal payments on direct finance
leases,  $29,516 received as the remaining settlement of the Partnership's claim
against an equipment lease to Financial News Network which was reorganized under
bankruptcy laws, and $204,704 distributed to partners.

         The  Partnership  made a distribution  of $204,704 on May 10, 1996 from
funds  generated  from  operations,  and  principal  payments on direct  finance
leases.  This  distribution  represents  an  annualized  rate of 8% on  invested
capital and reflects the Partnership's current distribution target.


Results of Operations

         Direct finance lease revenue decreased $2,883 during the second quarter
of 1996 as compared to the second  quarter of 1995,  and $8,786 during the first
six  months of 1996 as  compared  to the first six months of 1995.  This  slight
decrease  resulted from scheduled lease  terminations and an expected decline in
the portion of lease payments recognized as revenue (versus return of principal)
for existing leases.

         Interest income decreased  $10,185 during the second quarter of 1996 as
compared to the second  quarter of 1995, and $15,186 during the first six months
of 1996 as  compared  to the first six months of 1995,  due  primarily  to lower
interest rates and lower cash balances.

         The  Partnership  recognized  a  $29,516  gain  from the sale of leased
equipment during the second quarter of 1996 resulting from the sale of equipment
that had been leased to  Financial  News  Network  (FNN).  The  Partnership  had
previously  written off all receivables  relating to this transaction  following
FNN's bankruptcy filing. In May 1996, the Partnership received $29,516 from Data
Broadcasting  Corporation  (successor to FNN) pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization.  The  Partnership  currently  has $22,556 in  reserves  which is
deemed sufficient for any future potential losses.

         Total  expenses  decreased by $10,060 during the second quarter of 1996
as  compared  to the  second  quarter of 1995,  and $9,587  during the first six
months of 1996 as compared to the first six months of 1995.  The  decreases  are
attributable to reductions in administrative, management and professional fees.


Equipment Lease Acquisitions

         During the second  quarter of 1996, the  Partnership  made no equipment
lease  acquisitions.  The  Partnership  has not been able to identify  new lease
transactions  which it deems  acceptable from a risk and credit  standpoint.  As
noted in prior reports, the Partnership is approaching the end of the Investment
Period (period during which the  Partnership  makes new investments in equipment
leases) and prior to the end of 1996 will enter the Liquidation Phase.
