                                     PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

Datronic Equipment Income Fund XIX, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a Delaware Limited
Partnership, was formed on December 22, 1989. The Partnership offered Units of
Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units") during 1990 and early 1991 raising
$99,892,500 of limited partner funds.

As more fully described in Part II, Item 8, Notes 1, 5, and 8, during the second
calendar quarter of 1992, it was learned that Edmund J. Lopinski, Jr., the
president, director and majority stockholder of Datronic Rental Corp.("DRC"),
the then general partner, in conjunction with certain other parties, may have
diverted approximately $13.3 million of assets from the Datronic Partnerships
and Transamerica Equipment Leasing Income Fund, L.P. ("TELIF") for his/their
direct or indirect benefit. During 1992, a class action lawsuit was filed and
subsequently certified on behalf of the limited partners in the Datronic
Partnerships against DRC, various officers of DRC and various other parties. On
March 4, 1993, a settlement was approved to resolve certain portions of the suit
to enable the operations of the Datronic Partnerships to continue while
permitting the ongoing pursuit of claims against alleged wrongdoers (the
"Settlement"). In connection with the Settlement, DRC was replaced by Lease
Resolution Corporation ("LRC") as General Partner of the Partnership.

The Partnership was formed to acquire a variety of low-technology,
high-technology and other equipment for lease to unaffiliated third parties
under full payout leases as well as to acquire equipment subject to existing
leases. The cash generated during the Partnership's Operating Phase from such
investments was used to pay the operating costs of the Partnership, make
distributions to the limited partners and the general partner (subject to
certain limitations) and reinvest in additional equipment for lease. During the
Partnership's Liquidating Phase, which began August 31, 1996, the cash generated
from such investments is used to pay the liquidating costs of the Partnership
and make cash distributions to the limited partners and the general partner
(subject to certain limitations). Concurrent with the commencement of the
Liquidating Phase, the Partnership ceased reinvestment in equipment and leases
and began the orderly liquidation of the Partnership's assets.

A presentation of information about industry segments, geographic regions, raw
materials or seasonality is not applicable and would not be material to an
understanding of the Partnership's business taken as a whole. Since the
Partnership ceased investing in leases during 1996 a discussion of sources and
availability of leases, backlog and competition is not material to an
understanding of the Partnership's future activity.


                                       2
<PAGE>   3
The Partnership has no employees. LRC, the General Partner, employed 27 persons
at December 31, 1998 all of whom attend to the operations of the Datronic
Partnerships.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

The Partnership's operations are located in leased premises of approximately
15,000 square feet in Schaumburg, Illinois.

LRC occupies approximately 3,800 square feet of office space in Schaumburg,
Illinois in a real estate property that is a Recovered Asset (see Part II, Item
8, Note 5) held for the benefit of the Datronic Partnerships.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Reference is made to Part II, Item 8, Note 8 for a discussion of material legal
proceedings involving the Partnership.

ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of limited partners during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report through the solicitation of
proxies or otherwise.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND RELATED
LIMITED PARTNER AND GENERAL PARTNER MATTERS

                               Market Information

The Units are not listed on any exchange or national market system, and there is
no established public trading market for the Units. To the best of LRC's
knowledge, no trading market exists for the Units that would jeopardize the
Partnership's status for federal income tax purposes.

As of March 16, 1999, the Partnership estimates that there were approximately
6,254 record owners of Units.

                                  Distributions

Reference is made to Part II, Item 8, Notes 7 and 10 for a discussion of classes
of limited partners and distributions paid to limited partners and the general
partner.

ITEM 6 - SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The following table sets forth selected financial data as of December 31, 1998,
1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and for the five years then ended. The amounts
presented are aggregated for all Classes (A, B, and C) of Limited Partners,
unless otherwise noted. This information should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements included in Item 8 which also reflects amounts for each of
the classes of limited partners.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis presents information pertaining to the
Partnership's operating results and financial condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership had a net loss of $305,000 in 1998 in the aggregate for all
classes of partners. This compares to aggregate net losses in 1997 and 1996 of
$516,000 and $1,585,000, respectively. Differences in operating results between
Liquidating and Continuing Limited Partners are attributable to lease income 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 three years ended December 31, 1998 include the following:

Lease income:
Since August 1996, the Partnership has been in its Liquidating Phase which
prohibits investing in any new leases. Accordingly, the lease portfolio has
continued to decrease as collections are made, resulting in a continued decline
in lease income over the three years ended December 31, 1998. This trend will
continue as the Partnership liquidates its remaining leases. An additional
factor affecting year-to-year comparisons was a $135,000 reduction of lease
income in 1996 due to return of lease overpayments that were recognized as
revenue in earlier periods.

Litigation proceeds:
Litigation proceeds represent the Partnership's proportionate share of
recoveries received in connection with the resolution of litigation against its
former accountants. See Note 8 to the Partnership's financial statements
included in Item 8.

Recovery of Datronic Assets:
Recovery of Datronic Assets represents the Partnership's 34.3% share of
previously reserved cash balances held by a nominee company for the benefit of
the Datronic Partnerships. During 1998, potential claims against these funds
were resolved and a total of $750,000 was distributed proportionately to each of
the Datronic Partnerships. See Note 6 to the Partnership's financial statements
included in Item 8.

Interest income:
Interest income for all three years includes earnings on invested cash balances.
In addition, 1996 includes interest earned on an installment contract, including
$918,000 of previously unrecorded interest income recorded in connection with
the payoff of the remaining balance due. Interest income for 1998 was lower than
1997 because of lower average invested cash balances.


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
Amortization expense:
Amortization of organization and equipment acquisition costs ended as of June
1996 when these costs became fully amortized.

Management fees - New Era:
These fees were paid to New Era Funding for managing the day-to-day operations
of the Partnership under a Management Agreement that was terminated effective
June 30, 1996. Accordingly, 1998 and 1997 reflect no New Era management fees and
1996 results reflect six months of such fees plus $920,000 in termination and
non-compete fees. Effective July 1, 1996, LRC assumed responsibility for the
day-to-day management of the Partnership and the related expenses are included
in General Partner's expense reimbursement (see Note 9 to the Partnership's
financial statements included in Item 8).

General Partner's expense reimbursement:
General Partner's expense reimbursement includes payments to LRC for expenses it
incurred as general partner in excess of those covered by its partner
distributions. Effective July 1, 1996, these expenses included additional
expenses incurred by LRC in its management of the day-to-day operations of the
Partnership. The decrease in 1998 is due to the effects of staff reductions and
other cost savings realized during 1998. Included in 1997 expenses is $120,000
of insurance premiums for coverage that extends through the ultimate liquidation
of the Partnership and $66,000 of one-time charges for relocating the former New
Era staff to reduced office space. See Note 10 to the Partnership's financial
statements included in Item 8.

Professional fees - litigation:
Professional fees - litigation represents fees paid in connection with the
Partnership's litigation which is described in Note 8 to the Partnership's
financial statements included in Item 8. The 1998 and 1997 increases reflect
fees paid in connection with the litigation against the Partnership's former
accountants. Included in the 1998 amount are contingent fees paid or accrued
based on amounts recovered.

Professional fees - other:
Professional fees - other for the three years ended December 31, 1998 reflect a
decreasing level of professional services required as a result of the decrease
in the Partnership's lease portfolio and related activities.

Provision (credit) for lease loss:
This provision (credit) reflects Management's ongoing assessment of the
potential losses inherent in the lease portfolio and lease collections on
certain leases in excess of those anticipated.

Provision (credit) for loss on Diverted and other assets:
This provision (credit) represents the Partnership's share of any increase or a
decrease (recovery) in the estimated net realizable value of various assets held
for the benefit of the Datronic Partnerships. The credit in 1997 reflects a
recovery of amounts 





                                       7
<PAGE>   8


previously reserved for in 1995. Because of the fluctuating nature of real
estate values and the inherent difficulty of estimating the affects of future
events, the amounts ultimately realized from these assets could differ
significantly from their recorded amounts. See Note 5 to the Partnership's
financial statements included in Item 8.

Provision (credit) for Commercial lease paper:
This provision (credit) reflects Management's ongoing assessment of the
potential losses inherent in the commercial lease paper.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During 1998, Partnership assets continued to be converted to cash in order to
pay Partnership operating expenses and to provide for the ultimate liquidation
of the Partnership. During the year, Partnership's cash and cash equivalents
increased by $2,891,000 to $5,966,000 at December 31, 1998 from $3,074,000 at
December 31, 1997. This increase is primarily due to cash receipts from
collections on leases of $1,864,000 (including approximately $448,000 from
leases that were fully reserved), distribution of Diverted and other assets of
$2,220,000 and from collections of commercial lease paper of $30,000, partially
offset by cash used in operations of $722,000 and distributions to partners of
$500,000.

The Partnership's sources of future liquidity are expected to come from
cash-on-hand, the cash receipts from leases owned by the Partnership as well as
the disposition of the remaining Diverted Assets. The ultimate liquidation date
of the Partnership and its associated costs are not yet certain due to various
timing issues relating to the liquidation of the Partnership's remaining assets.
The lease portfolio is scheduled to be fully liquidated by December 2000 and the
remaining Diverted Assets (consisting primarily of an office building in
Schaumburg, Illinois) are expected to be liquidated during 1999.

Through the second quarter of 1998, it appeared unlikely that the Partnership
would make any additional distributions (beyond the $500,000 paid on January 2,
1998) until such time as its remaining assets were liquidated and the pending
litigation resolved. Now that additional assets have been liquidated, the
General Partner has determined that an interim cash distribution will be paid to
the limited partners shortly after the end of the first quarter 1999. The
General Partner is in the process of determining the amount that will be
available for this distribution and its allocation among each class of Limited
Partner. This distribution will be made to owners of record as of December 31,
1998 even if their units are subsequently sold.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

Inflation is not expected to have any significant direct, determinable effect on
the Partnership's business or financial condition.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUE

LRC has conducted a comprehensive review of the computer systems used to support
the Partnership's operations to determine whether any systems could be affected
by the Year 2000 Issue. The Year 2000 Issue relates to computer programs that
use two digits rather than four to define the year. This could cause
date-sensitive software to recognize the digits "00" as the year 1900 rather
than 2000. LRC does not expect the Partnership to be affected by the Year 2000
Issue because the systems used to support the Partnership's operations are
already substantially able to meet the reduced operating requirements of the
Partnership in the Year 2000. Furthermore, the only material relationships the
Partnership has with third parties that could be affected by the Year 2000 are
those with the Partnership's banking institutions. LRC has been advised by the
Partnership's banking institutions that they are Year 2000 compliant.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Partners of Datronic
Equipment Income Fund XIX, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets in total for all classes of
limited partners of DATRONIC EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND XIX, L.P. ("the Partnership")
as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statements of revenue and
expenses in total for all classes of limited partners, of changes in partners'
equity and of cash flows in total for all classes of limited partners for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations in total for all classes of
limited partners and its cash flows in total for all classes of limited partners
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the Partnership's
financial statements taken as a whole. As described in Note 2, the accounting
records of the Partnership are maintained to reflect the interests of each of
the classes of limited partners. Additional information consisting of the
balance sheets by class of limited partner as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the
statements of revenue and expenses by class of limited partner and the
statements of cash flows by class of limited partner for the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1998 have been prepared by management solely for the
information of the limited partners and are not a required part of the financial
statements. This additional information has been subjected to the auditing

procedures applied in the audit of the Partnership's financial statements and,
in our opinion, has been allocated to the respective classes of limited partners
in accordance with the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement described in
Note 10 and is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
Partnership's financial statements taken as a whole.

As explained more fully in Notes 1 and 5, the former President and Majority
Stockholder of Datronic Rental Corporation ("DRC"), the general partner of the
Partnership until March 4, 1993, and others are alleged to have diverted, for
their benefit, approximately $13 million from the Partnership and related
entities -- Datronic Equipment Income Fund XVI, XVII, XVIII, XX, L.P., Datronic
Finance Income Fund I, L.P. and Transamerica Equipment Leasing Income Fund, L.P.
(collectively "the Partnerships"). Substantially all of the assets known to have
been improperly acquired with the diverted funds have been recovered for the
benefit of the Partnerships.

                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Datronic Equipment Income Fund XIX, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on December 22, 1989 for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing both high- and low-technology equipment. Through March 4, 1993, Datronic
Rental Corporation ("DRC") was the general partner of the Partnership and
Datronic Equipment Income Funds XVI, XVII, XVIII, XX and Datronic Finance Income
Fund I, (collectively, the "Datronic Partnerships") and was co-general partner
of Transamerica Equipment Leasing Income Fund, L.P. ("TELIF").

In 1992, it was alleged that the chairman of DRC (who was also its president and
majority stockholder), in conjunction with various other parties, had
misappropriated and commingled $13.3 million of funds belonging to this and the
other Datronic Partnerships and TELIF. The Partnership's portion of these funds
was $7.3 million. In connection with a partial settlement of a class action
lawsuit arising from these allegations, Lease Resolution Corporation ("LRC")
replaced DRC as general partner of this and the other Datronic Partnerships on
March 4, 1993. LRC is a Delaware non-stock corporation formed for the sole
purpose of acting as general partner of the Datronic Partnerships.

On August 31, 1996, the Partnership began its Liquidating Phase under which it
has ceased investing in new leases and began the orderly liquidation of its
assets.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The accounting records of the Partnership are
being maintained to reflect the interests of each of the classes of limited
partners (see Note 10). Each class of limited partner is not a separate legal
entity holding title to individual assets nor the obligor of individual
liabilities. Accordingly, assets allocated to a specific class of limited
partner are available to settle claims of the Partnership as a whole. Additional
information consisting of the balance sheets by class of limited partner as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the statements of revenue and expenses by class of
limited partner and the statements of cash flows by class of limited partner for
the three years ended December 31, 1998 have been prepared to present
allocations of the various categories of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses
and cash flows of the Partnership to each of the classes of limited partners in
accordance with the Amended Partnership Agreement. In addition, the general
partner's equity has been allocated to each class of limited

                  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


partner for purposes of additional information because the equity attributable
to the general partner will be allocated to the limited partners upon final
dissolution of the Partnership. For purposes of this additional information, the
interests of the Class B and Class C Limited Partners have been combined as
"Continuing Limited Partners." At December 31, 1998, the amounts per Unit
relating to these two classes are identical with the exception that the per Unit
value of Class C Limited Partners is $7.34 per Unit higher than the Class B
Limited Partners because, in accordance with the 1993 Settlement, Class Counsel
fees and expenses related to the Settlement, net of Datronic Assets, were not
allocated to the Class C Limited Partners (see Note 6).

  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of
overnight investments in high quality, short-term corporate demand notes
(commercial paper). Due to the nature of the Partnership's commercial paper
investments, Management does not believe there is any significant market risk
associated with such investments. Amounts due (to) from the general partner
(LRC) and other Datronic Partnerships are also included.

  NET INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCING LEASES - Net investment in direct financing
leases consists of the present value of future minimum lease payments and
residuals under non-cancelable lease agreements. Residuals are valued at the
estimated fair market value of the underlying equipment at lease termination.

Leases are classified as non-performing when it is determined that the only
remaining course of collection is litigation. All balances relating to the lease
are netted together and no further income is accrued when a lease is classified
as non-performing.

Lease income includes interest earned on the present value of lease payments and
residuals (recognized over the term of the lease to yield a constant periodic
rate of return), interest collected on non-performing leases, late fees, and
other lease related items.

  ALLOWANCE FOR LEASE LOSSES - An allowance is recorded to reflect estimated
losses inherent in the existing portfolio of leases. Additions to the allowance
are made by means of a provision for lease losses, which is charged to expense.
Recoveries of amounts previously reserved are reflected as credits to the
provision for lease loss. The amounts shown in the accompanying Statements of
Revenue and Expenses reflect the net effect of provisions and recoveries.
Write-offs are deducted from the allowance.

                    DATRONIC EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND XIX, L.P.
                  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

DUE (TO) FROM GENERAL PARTNER AND OTHER DATRONIC PARTNERSHIPS - In the ordinary
course of the Partnership's day-to-day operations, there are occasions when the
general partner and/or other Datronic Partnerships owe amounts to, and are owed
amounts from, the Partnership. It is the Partnership's policy not to charge
(credit) interest on these payable (receivable) balances and to include them as
cash equivalents.

  NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT - Net earnings (loss) per
unit is based on net earnings (loss) after giving effect to a 1% allocation to
the general partner. The remaining 99% of net earnings (loss) for each of the
Liquidating and Continuing Limited Partners is divided by the weighted-average
number of units outstanding to arrive at net earnings (loss) per limited
partnership unit for each class of limited partner.

  USE OF ESTIMATES - In preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, Management makes estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - COMMERCIAL LEASE PAPER:

At December 31, 1998 commercial lease paper consists of a non-performing fully
recovered note receivable from one lease broker which has been placed on a
non-accrual basis whereby no interest income is currently being recorded. This
non-performing note is secured by leases which have been recovered and are being
serviced by the Partnership. Payments received on the underlying leases are
applied to the note balance as recoveries.

Commercial lease paper is shown net of an allowance for losses. The following
summarizes the changes in the allowance for the three years ended December 31,
1998.

NOTE 5 - DIVERTED AND OTHER ASSETS:

The $13.3 million of funds allegedly misappropriated from the Datronic
Partnerships and TELIF (collectively, the "Partnerships") (see Note 1) were
commingled by the alleged wrongdoers with $10.3 million of funds and used to
acquire various assets. $20.7 million of such assets (collectively, "Diverted
and other assets" or "Recovered Assets") were subsequently recovered for the
benefit of the Partnerships and each Partnership was assigned an undivided,
pro-rata interest in them. These assets are held by a nominee company.

Since 1993, LRC has been liquidating these assets and distributing available
funds to the Partnerships. The Partnership's 55.2% interest in the remaining
Diverted and other assets is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets at
cost, less valuation allowances established in prior years. At December 31,
1998, these assets consisted of a seven-story office building in Schaumburg,
Illinois and cash of $1.3 million.

During 1998, $4.0 million of cash (Partnership's share, ($2,220,000) was
transferred from the nominee company to the Partnerships. These proceeds were
recorded as a reduction of "Diverted and other assets, net" in the Partnership's
Balance Sheet. The Partnership's Statements of Revenue and Expenses reflect a
1997 recovery ($386,624) of previously reserved balances and a 1996 loss
($276,160) from the settlement of claims against the Diverted and other assets.

LRC is continuing its efforts to market and sell the Schaumburg, Illinois office
building. The net sales proceeds, along with other available cash balances will
be distributed to the Partnerships. Due to the fluctuating nature of real estate
values, the ultimate net realizable value of the office building cannot be
predicted.

NOTE 6 - DATRONIC ASSETS:

At December 31, 1998, the Datronic Assets consisted of the Partnership's 34.3%
interest in fully-reserved residual cash of $46,000 held by a nominee company
for the benefit of the Class A and B Limited Partners of the Datronic
Partnerships. The reserves are in anticipation of future costs or claims that
may be paid by the nominee.

Originally, Datronic Assets consisted of all of DRC's net assets which were
transferred to an LRC nominee company for the purpose of reimbursing the Class A
and B Limited Partners for legal fees paid in connection with the 1993
court-approved partial settlement of class action litigation (See Notes 1, 2 and
8). Since then, all but $46,000 of the $1,732,000 (Partnership's share $594,000)
realized from the liquidation of the Datronic Assets has been distributed to the
Partnerships, including $750,000 (Partnership's share $257,000) during 1998. The
$257,000 realized by the Partnership this year was previously fully-reserved for
claims that were ultimately resolved during 1998 and is shown in the
accompanying Statements of Revenue and Expenses as "Recovery of Datronic
Assets". The $257,000 and all previously realized Datronic Assets have been
allocated to the Class A and B Limited Partners.

Upon dissolution of the nominee company, any portion of the $46,000 which is
realized in excess of its fully-reserved balance of zero, will be distributed
proportionately to the Partnerships.

NOTE 7 - PARTNERS' EQUITY:

Distributions per Unit to the Limited Partners for 1996, 1997 and 1998 were:

The Partnership began its Liquidating Phase on August 31, 1996. Pursuant to the
Amended Partnership Agreement, all distributions made before that date were paid
on a per-unit basis and all subsequent distributions were based on the positive
Capital Account balances of each limited partner within each Class (see Note
10).

At December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, there were 33,858 Class A Units, 165,574
Class B Units, 327 Class C Units, and one General Partner Unit outstanding.

NOTE 8 - LITIGATION:

CLAIMS AGAINST PROFESSIONALS

During 1992, various class action lawsuits and Partnership cross-claims were
filed against the Partnerships' former securities counsel (Siegan, Barbakoff,
Gomberg & Kane - "Siegan") alleging breach of fiduciary duty and the
Partnerships' former independent accountants (Weiss and Company and Price
Waterhouse) alleging professional negligence, breach of contract, and violations
of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

The claims against Siegan were settled in 1995 pursuant to which Siegan paid a
total of $1.78 million (of which $425,000 went to the Partnership). Costs,
consisting primarily of legal fees, incurred by the Partnerships in pursuing
their claim against Siegan totaled approximately $683,000 (including $164,000
paid by the Partnership).

During 1998, the claims against the Partnerships' former accountants were
resolved. In May, LRC reached a settlement with Weiss under which Weiss agreed
to pay the Partnerships $2.4 million (Partnership's share is $584,000) in
exchange for a release from all Partnership claims and dismissal of the class
claims against it. The settlement was consummated in September and the
settlement proceeds, along with $37,000 of interest earned since May, were
transferred to LRC for the benefit of the Partnerships. After payment of
$609,000 in contingent legal fees (Partnership's share is $146,000), $1.83
million of net proceeds were made available to the Partnerships. The
Partnership's share of the gross proceeds has been included in its 1998
Statements of Revenue and Expenses as "Litigation proceeds." The contingent
legal fees are included in the Statements of Revenue and Expenses as part of
"Professional fees - litigation."

                  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


In June, a jury verdict was rendered against Price Waterhouse finding them
negligent in the conduct of their prior audits of the Datronic Partnerships. The
jury awarded damages of $739,300. In January 1999, the court entered final
judgment and awarded an additional $2,000 for trial costs. The Partnership's
share ($178,000) of the total award has been included in its 1998 Statements of
Revenue and Expenses as "Litigation proceeds." These damages bear 9% interest
until paid by the defendant. Contingent fees of 25% of the recovery will be due
upon receipt of the damages and are reflected in the Statements of Revenue and
Expenses as part of "Professional fees - litigation." The proceeds due to the
Partnership are included in its December 31, 1998 Balance Sheet, net of
contingent legal fees, as "Judgment receivable, net."

Legal fees and trial expenses incurred by the Partnership in pursuing its claims
against the former accountants have totaled $1,327,000 since 1993.

OTHER CLAIMS

During 1994, a suit was filed on behalf of certain of the Datronic Partnerships
(including the Partnership) arising out of their 1990 acquisition of a lease
portfolio. The suit charges fraud and breach of contract against the original
owner. During 1995, the Court dismissed the claim for lack of jurisdiction
without ruling on its merits. LRC, on behalf of the affected partnerships, filed
a revised complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois for fraud and
breach of contract in the amount of $5.5 million plus punitive damages and
interest. This action is expected to come to trial in 1999.

NOTE 9 - PARTNERSHIP MANAGEMENT:

Since July 1, 1996, LRC has directly managed the day-to-day operations of the
Datronic Partnerships. The cost of the day-to-day management services is
allocated to each partnership based on the level of services performed for each
partnership. These expenses are reimbursed to LRC pursuant to the terms of the
Amended Partnership Agreement (see Note 10).

Prior to July 1, 1996, the Datronic Partnerships were managed by New Era Funding
under the direction of LRC pursuant to a Management Agreement. Effective June
30, 1996, this agreement was terminated and, pursuant to the Management
Termination Agreement, New Era and

its principals were paid an aggregate amount of $4.2 million. The Partnership's
share of these payments was $919,902, and is included in the 1996 Statements of
Revenue and Expenses as part of "Management fees - New Era".

As part of the Management Termination Agreement, two of New Era's principals
have been retained as consultants to the Datronic Partnerships through March 31,
1999 for an annual fee of $200,000 each. These payments are allocated to each of
the Datronic Partnerships based on the services performed for each Partnership
and are included in the accompanying Statements of Revenue and Expenses as part
of "General Partner's expense reimbursement".

NOTE 10 - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT:

As part of the 1993 Settlement each limited partner elected to become a Class A,
B or C Limited Partner.

Class A Limited Partners
This class elected to begin liquidating their interest in the Partnership as of
the Settlement date. Accordingly, each Class A Limited Partner is entitled to
receive cash distributions equal to their pro rata share of the net proceeds
from the disposition of assets owned by the Partnership on the Settlement Date,
plus their pro rata interest in the net proceeds from the disposition of
Datronic Assets, Diverted and other assets, and temporary investments. In
addition, Class A Limited Partners participated in the Class Action.

Class B Limited Partners
This class elected not to begin liquidation of their interest in the Partnership
as of the Settlement Date. Until the Liquidating Phase of the Partnership began
on August 31, 1996, each Class B Limited Partner received cash distributions
equal to 12.5% annually of their Adjusted Capital Contributions (as that term is
defined in the Amended Partnership Agreement). Available cash in excess of that
required to pay these distributions was invested in equipment and equipment
leases ("New Investments") and temporary investments on behalf of the Class B
Limited Partners. In addition, Class B Limited Partners participated in the
Class Action.

Class C Limited Partners
This class elected not to participate in the Class Action. Therefore, each Class
C Limited Partner: (i) preserved their individual claims against DRC and the
other defendants, (ii) did not participate in the Class Action, and (iii) did
not participate in the Settlement. In

                  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


all other respects, including distributions from the Partnership, Class C
Limited Partners are the same as Class B Limited Partners.

Concurrent with the beginning of the Liquidating Phase on August 31, 1996, the
Partnership ceased making New Investments and the General Partner (LRC) began
the orderly liquidation of Partnership assets. Pursuant to this, cash reserves
are to be maintained sufficient to satisfy all liabilities of the Partnership
and provide for future contingencies. Cash available after satisfying such
requirements ("Cash Flow Available for Distribution") will be distributed to the
General and Limited Partners as described below.

During the Liquidating Phase, net Partnership proceeds from all sources, less
cash reserves needed to satisfy Partnership liabilities and provide for future
contingencies will be apportioned among the Class A, B and C Limited Partners,
each class as a group, in accordance with each class' interest in each type of
asset. Then, Liquidating Distributions will be made to the Limited Partners
within each class in accordance with the positive Capital Account balance of
each Limited Partner until all Limited Partners' Capital Account balances are
zero, and thereafter, pro rata based on the number of units outstanding.

The Amended Partnership Agreement provides for the General Partner (LRC) to
receive quarterly distributions equal to 1% of the Cash Flow Available for
Distribution. In addition, LRC receives reimbursement for expenses incurred in
excess of those covered by the 1% distribution. These expense reimbursements are
paid one quarter in advance and are adjusted based on LRC's actual expenses. LRC
allocates its expenses to each of the Datronic Partnerships based on its
activities performed for each Partnership. Beginning July 1, 1996, LRC's expense
reimbursement includes expenses incurred in managing the day-to-day operations
of this and the other Datronic Partnerships. LRC is entitled to no other fees or
reimbursements from the Partnership.

The following summarizes the total of all payments to LRC during the three years
ended December 31, 1998:

NOTE 11 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

Leasing activity was conducted throughout the United States, with emphasis in
certain states such as California, New York, and Texas. The cost of equipment
under lease typically ranges from $15,000 to $30,000. Such equipment includes,
but is not limited to: machine tool equipment, printing and graphic processing
equipment, general purpose plant/office equipment, computers and terminals for
management information systems, medical equipment, and automotive repair
equipment. At December 31, 1998, there are no significant concentrations of
business activity in any industry or with any one debtor. The Partnership
maintains a security interest in all equipment until the lessee's obligations
are fulfilled.

Of the Partnership's investment in commercial lease paper, one debtor represents
