                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 1998
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Datronic Equipment Income Fund XVI, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on April 21, 1987 for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing both high- and low-technology equipment.  See Notes 5, 8, and 10 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1997 Form 10-K for a
discussion of the alleged diversion of Partnership assets in 1991 and 1992 and
the subsequent litigation and settlement, change in general partner, new
classes of limited partners established and amendments to the Partnership
Agreement which occurred.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1997 Form 10-K.  The
financial information furnished herein is unaudited but in the opinion of
Management includes all adjustments necessary(all of which are normal recurring
adjustments) for a fair presentation of financial condition and results of
operations.  See Note 2 to the Partnership's financial statements included in
the 1997 Form 10-K.

NOTE 3 - LIMITED PARTNERSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS:

Distributions to Liquidating Limited Partners were suspended after payment of
the April 1, 1995 distribution.  Distributions to Continuing Limited Partners
were suspended after payment of the January 1, 1996 distribution.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT ON FORECLOSED PROPERTIES:

During 1991 and 1992, the Partnership acquired three real estate properties
through foreclosure on defaulted leases.  Two of the properties are occupied by
tenants who are paying monthly rentals of $11,248 and $20,000, respectively.
The third property was sold in 1996 to its occupant.  The purchase price was
paid in the form of a secured note with a $245,000 balloon payment due on March
31, 1998.  As of March 31, 1998, $27,000 was received against the balloon
amount, with the occupant expecting to secure financing to pay off the
remaining balance.  The Partnership has elected not to enforce the remedies
available to it under the contract as long as the buyer's financing source is
processing the loan request.

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT: SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION:

On May 5, 1998, Lease Resolution Corporation (LRC), on behalf of Datronic
Equipment Income Funds XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX and Datronic Finance Income
Fund I, reached an agreement to settle all claims of 

                                       10

<PAGE>   11


the aforementioned partnerships against Weiss & Co. ("Settlement Agreement").
(See Note 8 to the financial statements included in the Partnership's 1997 Form
10-K).  The Settlement Agreement is contingent upon subsequent approval by the  
United States District Court dismissing Weiss & Co. as a party defendant.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Weiss & Co. has agreed to
pay LRC, on behalf of the aforementioned partnerships, $2.4 million. LRC will   
determine how these proceeds, net of contingent attorneys fees of $600,000,
will be distributed among the partnerships upon the completion of the trial
currently in process against Price Waterhouse.  The Settlement Agreement
provides for Weiss & Co. to transfer $2.4 million to an escrow account.  This
amount will be transferred to LRC no later than 30 days following the United
States District Court entering an order of dismissal of Weiss & Co. for which
no date has yet been set.  All limited partners will be notified of the date
once it has been scheduled.

PART I

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

The following discussion and analysis of liquidity and capital resources covers
material changes in the Partnership's financial condition from December 31,
1997 through March 31, 1998.  The discussion and analysis of results of
operations is for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, Partnership assets continued to
be converted to cash in order to pay Partnership operating expenses, liquidate
Partnership liabilities and provide for the ultimate liquidation of the
Partnership.

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership's cash and cash
equivalents decreased by $37,000 to $2,749,000 at March 31, 1998 from
$2,786,000 at December 31, 1997.  This decrease is primarily due to cash used
in operations of $218,000, partially offset by cash receipts from collections
on leases of $181,000.

The Partnership's sources of liquidity on both a long-term and short-term basis
are expected to come principally from cash-on-hand and the rental or sale of
foreclosed properties.  In addition, the Partnership's sources of liquidity on
a long-term basis include proceeds from the sale of Diverted and other assets.
Management believes that its sources of liquidity in the short and long-term
are sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements, provide for ongoing
pursuit of litigation, and an orderly liquidation of the Partnership.

The continued operation and eventual liquidation of the Partnership involves
numerous complex issues which have to be resolved.  These issues relate to the
timing and realizability of lease-related assets, Diverted and other assets,
Datronic assets, litigation and the liquidation of the other Datronic
Partnerships.  These issues make it difficult to predict the time and costs
necessary to operate and liquidate the Partnership in an orderly manner.  As a
result of these uncertainties, it is unlikely that any additional distributions
will be made until all remaining assets are liquidated and the pending
litigation is resolved.  The amount of future distributions, if any, to the
Limited Partners, in all likelihood, will be significantly less than the amount
of partners' equity reflected in the March 31, 1998 balance sheets (see
Partnership's financial statements included in Item 1.)





                                       12

Results of Operations

The Partnership had a net loss of $157,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 in the aggregate for all classes of partners.  This compares to aggregate
net income for the same period in 1997 of $30,000.  Differences in operating
results between Liquidating and Continuing Limited Partners are attributable to
lease income, acquisition costs, and expenses associated with new lease
investments made since the March 4, 1993 Settlement.  Liquidating Limited
Partners do not participate in these post Settlement activities.  Significant
factors affecting overall operating results for the two periods ended March 31,
1998 and 1997 include the following:

Rental income:
The 1998 decrease reflects management's decision to apply rental receipts on
foreclosed properties as a recovery of its investment balance, effective
January 1, 1998.  For the period beginning April 1995 through December 1997
rental receipts on foreclosed properties were recognized as income.

General Partner's expense reimbursement:
The decrease in first quarter 1998 expense is primarily due to D&O insurance
and reductions in staff and related costs.  Through the first quarter 1997,
insurance premiums were paid on an annual basis; however, in September 1997 a
one-time premium was paid that extended coverage through the ultimate
liquidation date of the Partnership.

Professional fees:
The 1998 increase reflects fees paid in connection with the ongoing litigation
against the Partnership's former accountants which is presently scheduled for
trial in May of 1998.  This increase is partially offset by the decreasing
level of professional services required in such areas as collections,
consulting and auditing. These decreases are the result of the decrease in the
Partnership's lease portfolio and related activities.

Credit for lease losses:
The credit reflects Management's ongoing assessment of the potential losses
inherent in the lease portfolio and collections on previously reserved
balances.
