NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:
- ----------------------

Datronic Equipment Income Fund XVIII, L.P., a Delaware Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed on April 12, 1989 for
the purpose of acquiring and leasing both high-and low-technology
equipment.  Reference is made to Notes 4, 6, 7 and 8 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1995 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 1995
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 3 to the Partnership's financial statements included in the
1995 Form 10-K.

NOTE 3 - LIMITED PARTNERSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS:
- -------------------------------------------

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

NOTE 4 - LEASE PORTFOLIO SALES:
- -------------------------------

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership,
Datronic Equipment Income Fund XIX, L.P., Datronic Equipment Income
Fund XX, L.P., and Datronic Finance Income Fund I, L.P. each
entered into separate lease purchase agreements with Southern
Pacific Thrift & Loan Association to sell equipment leases at
discount rates ranging from 10.75% to 11.75% which resulted in
aggregate net proceeds of approximately $4.8 million.  The
Partnership's proceeds were approximately $1.3 million.  Of this
amount, approximately all of the proceeds were allocable to
Continuing Limited Partners and invested in new leases.

NOTE 5 - PCR TRANSACTIONS:
- --------------------------

During the second quarter of 1996 the Partnership received $352,225
of cash in full and complete satisfaction of a certain master
sublease agreement with PCR further described in Note 12 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K. 
Included in lease income is $304,584 related to the payoff of the
PCR sublease comprised of previously unrecognized lease income of
$277,190 and the recognition of previously unearned lease income of
$27,394.

The Partnership also received during the second quarter of 1996,
$83,507 of cash representing the Partnership's share of remittances
in full and complete satisfaction of certain note obligations
issued by PCR in connection with the sale of PCR stock as further
described in Note 13 to the Partnership's financial statements
included in the 1995 Form 10-K.  A gain on the sale of PCR stock of
$19,018 has been included in lease income.

Further, during the second quarter of 1996, LRC received $74,275
representing the Partnership's share of cash remittances from PCR
in full and complete satisfaction of a management and consulting
contract entered into in connection with the sale of PCR stock as
further described in Note 13 to the Partnership's financial
statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K.  The amount has been
recorded as a reduction of the General Partner's expense
reimbursement and a due from General Partner in the second quarter.

The due from General Partner will be used to offset future expenses
which would otherwise be payable by the Partnership.

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, 1995 through June 30, 1996.  The
discussion and analysis of results of operations is for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1995. 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ----------------------------------------------------

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, Partnership assets were
converted to cash in order to pay Partnership operating expenses,
make distributions to the Continuing Limited Partners and General
Partner through April 1, 1996 and to ensure that sufficient cash
will be available to pursue pending litigation and liquidate the
Partnership in an orderly manner. 

Installment contracts receivable decreased approximately $306,000
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 due to scheduled
principal collections.  

Net investment in direct financing leases decreased approximately
$2,463,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This
decrease is primarily attributable to principal collections.

Restricted cash of approximately $91,000 has been included in cash
and cash equivalents due to the removal of claims against such cash
(see Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings).  This cash was repaid to
the Partnership with interest in June 1996.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased approximately
$92,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily
due to payment of legal fees and sales and use taxes.

Lessee rental deposits increased approximately $189,000 during the
six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily due to an accrual for
deposits and overpayments scheduled to be returned to lessees.

In the aggregate, partners' equity decreased approximately $2.3
million during the six months ended June 30, 1996 due to a net loss
of approximately $494,000 and distributions to partners of
approximately $1,766,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership's
operating activities resulted in an approximate use of $396,000 of
cash.  This was due principally to a net loss of approximately
$494,000 and a decrease in accounts payable of approximately
$91,000 reduced by an increase in rental deposits and overpayments
of approximately $189,000.  During the period, cash flows from
investing activities aggregated approximately $2,859,000 relating
to principal collections on leases of approximately $2,463,000, 
scheduled repayments on an installment contract receivable of
approximately $306,000 and the availability of restricted cash in
the amount of approximately $91,000.  Cash flows used from
financing activities of approximately $1,766,000, consisted of
distributions to Continuing Limited Partners of approximately
$1,757,000 and the General Partner of approximately $8,600.

The Partnership's principal sources of liquidity on both a
long-term and short-term basis are receipts from leases,
installment contracts receivable and cash on hand.  Additional
sources of liquidity on a long-term basis are expected to include
proceeds from the sale of diverted and other assets and, possibly,
portions of the Partnership's lease portfolio which may be sold in
bulk.  Management believes that its sources of liquidity in the
short and long-term are sufficient to meet its operating cash
obligations.  Distributions to the Liquidating Limited Partners
were suspended after the July 1, 1995 distribution and
distributions to the Continuing Limited Partners were suspended
after the April 1, 1996 distribution.  Distributions were suspended
to ensure that sufficient cash will be available to pursue
recoveries under pending litigation with the Partnership's former
accountants and other and to liquidate the Partnership in an
orderly manner.

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 (see Notes 4, 6
and 9 to the financial statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K). 
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 not possible to
predict the timing and availability of cash for future
distributions to Limited Partners.  However, it is likely that the
amount of future distributions, if any, to the Limited Partners
will ultimately be significantly less than the amount of Partner's
Equity reflected in the June 30, 1996 Balance Sheets (see financial
statements included in Item 1).

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Lease income decreased approximately $91,000 and $343,000 for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1995.  These decreases were primarily due
to the declining lease portfolio and a $200,000 provision recorded
in the second quarter of 1996 to provide for the return of lease
overpayments to lessees previously recorded as lease income
partially offset by approximately $325,000 of income resulting from
transactions with PCR recorded in the second quarter of 1996 as
described in Note 5 of the financial statements included in Item 1.

Interest income decreased approximately $42,000 and $51,000 for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1995 primarily due to declining
installment contract receivable balances partially offset by the
recognition in the second quarter of 1996 of approximately $15,000
of interest previously earned on restricted cash balances.

Amortization of organization and equipment acquisition costs
decreased approximately $146,000 to zero for the six month period
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995
due to the completion of the amortization of these costs in 1995.

Management fees-New Era represent amounts paid New Era for managing
the Partnership on a day-to-day basis and for acquiring leases for
the Continuing Limited Partners.  These fees amounted to
approximately $332,000 and $675,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $400,000 and $903,000 for the
same periods in 1995.  The decreases are attributable to declining
Partnership activity and the cessation of lease acquisitions in
April 1995.  See Note 8 to the Partnership's financial statements
included in the 1995 Form 10-K.  

The General Partner's expense reimbursement represents the amount
paid to LRC in excess of LRC's 1% share of cash flow available for
distribution.  Total amounts paid to LRC are primarily a function
of the amount of time LRC spends on the activities of the
Partnership and the timing of certain LRC expenses.  Total amounts
charged by LRC for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
were approximately $75,000 and $344,000 ($75,000 and $335,000,
respectively, representing the General Partner's expense
reimbursement and zero and $9,000, respectively, representing LRC's
1% of cash flow available for distribution) as compared to
approximately $162,000 and $404,000 ($138,000 and $328,000,
respectively, representing the General Partner's expense
reimbursement and $24,000 and $76,000, respectively, representing
LRC's 1% cash flow available for distribution) for the
corresponding periods ended June 30, 1995.  See Note 7 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1995 form 10-K. 
The decreases are primarily attributable to a credit of $74,275
recorded in the second quarter of 1996 representing the
Partnership's share of certain remittances received by LRC from PCR
as described in Note 5 to the financial statements in Item 1.

Professional fees decreased approximately $128,000 and $135,000 for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to decreased legal
fees relating to collections and Partnership claims against former
accountants and others and to consulting services.
