                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Datronic Finance Income Fund I, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on November 21, 1990 for the purpose of 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 April 1, 1995 distribution and distributions to Continuing Limited Partners
were reduced from an annual rate of 12.5% to an annual rate of 6% effective
with the October 1, 1995 distribution.  On October 1, 1996, the Partnership
entered its Liquidating Phase.  Accordingly, the Continuing Limited Partners
received their last reduced Target Distribution on September 1, 1996 and their
first Liquidating Distribution on October 1, 1996.

NOTE 4 - LEASE PORTFOLIO SALES:

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership, Fund XVIII,
Fund XIX and Fund XX 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 12.25% which resulted in aggregate net proceeds of
approximately $16.7 million.  The Partnership's proceeds were approximately
$3.7

million.  Of this amount, approximately all of the proceeds were allocable to
Continuing Limited Partners and invested in new leases.

NOTE 5 - SETTLEMENT WITH FORMER ATTORNEYS:

On August 10, 1995, the United States District Court of the Northern District
of Illinois, Eastern Division, approved as fair, reasonable and adequate, a
settlement with all the Datronic Partnerships and the Partnerships' former
attorneys, Siegan, Barbakoff, Gomberg & Kane in the aggregate amount of
$1,775,000 ($124,035 for the Partnership) or $2.13 per unit (see Note 6 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K).  A total of
$683,147 ($47,737 for the Partnership) of expenses consisting primarily of
professional fees, were incurred in connection with this recovery resulting in
a net recovery of $1,091,853 or $1.31 per unit.  However, since the
Partnerships had previously paid $239,397 ($16,729 for the Partnership) of
these expenses, a total of $1,331,250 or $1.60 per unit was available for
distribution.  Accordingly, on October 1, 1995, the Partnership distributed
$1.60 per unit to Liquidating Limited Partners and to Continuing Limited
Partners.  All settlement proceeds and all related expenses have been allocated
to all unit holders of the Datronic Partnerships based on the number of limited
partnership units owned.

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

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Net investment in direct financing leases decreased approximately  $2,168,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  This decrease is primarily
attributable to principal collections of approximately $1,918,000 and a
provision for lease losses of $250,000.

Restricted cash of approximately $336,000 has been included in cash and cash
equivalents due to the removal of claims against such cash (see Part II, Item 1
- - Legal Proceedings) and repayment to the Partnership with interest in June
1996.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased approximately $37,000 during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 primarily due to payment of legal fees
and sales and use taxes.

Lessee rental deposits decreased approximately $141,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 primarily due to overpayments and security deposits
returned to lessees.

In the aggregate, partners' equity decreased approximately $1.9 million during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 due to a net loss of approximately
$781,000 and distributions to partners of approximately $1.2 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership's operating
activities resulted in a use of cash of approximately $528,000.  This was due
principally to a net loss of approximately $781,000 and decreases in accounts
payable and security deposits of approximately $178,000 partially offset by
non-cash expenses of approximately $180,000 relating to amortization and a
provision of





                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>   15

$250,000 for lease losses.  During the period, cash flows from investing
activities aggregated approximately $2,254,000 relating to principal
collections on leases of approximately $1,918,000 and the availability of
restricted cash in the amount of approximately $336,000.  Cash flows used for
financing activities of approximately $1,154,000, consisted of distributions to
Continuing Limited Partners of approximately $1,138,000 and the General Partner
of approximately $16,000.

The Partnership's principal sources of liquidity on both a long-term and
short-term basis are receipts from leases and cash on hand.  In addition, the
Partnership's 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 payment of the April 1, 1995
distribution.  Distributions to the Continuing Limited Partners were reduced to
an annual rate of 6% effective with the October 1, 1995 distribution.  On
October 1, 1996, the Partnership entered the Liquidating Phase.  Accordingly,
the Continuing Limited Partners received their last reduced Target Distribution
on September 1, 1996 and their first Liquidating Distribution on October 1,
1996.  Distributions to the Liquidating Limited Partners were suspended and
distributions to the Continuing Limited Partners were reduced to ensure that
sufficient cash will be available to pursue recoveries under pending litigation
with the Partnership's former accountants and others and to liquidate the
Partnership in an orderly manner.

The provisions of the Amended Partnership Agreement require the Partnership to
enter its liquidating phase if full Target Distributions are not met for four
consecutive calendar quarters.  In addition, lease reinvestment activity is
prohibited during the liquidating phase and in any period in which full Target
Distributions have not been paid.

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 statement 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





                                     - 15 -

<PAGE>   16

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
September 30, 1996 Balance Sheets (see financial statement included in Item 1).

Results of Operations

Lease income decreased approximately $150,000 and $382,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the corresponding periods in
1995.  These decreases are primarily due to a decline in the lease portfolios
and provisions of $45,000 and $36,000 recorded in the second and third quarter,
respectively, of 1996 to provide for the return of lessee overpayments
previously recorded as lease income.

Settlement proceeds of approximately $124,000 resulted from a settlement with
the Partnership's former attorney's.  See Note 5 to the financial statements
included in Item 1.

Interest income increased approximately $15,000 and $84,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding periods
in 1995.  The increase for the three months ended September 30, 1996 is
primarily due to additional interest earned due to higher cash balances.  The
increase for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 is primarily due to the
recognition in the second quarter of 1996 of interest previously earned on
restricted cash balances and additional interest earned due to higher cash
balances.

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 $195,000 and $601,000
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as
compared to $425,000 and $929,000 for the same periods in 1995.  The decreases
are attributable to declining Partnership activity and the cessation of lease
acquisitions in September 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 paid to LRC for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 were approximately $20,000 and $94,000, respectively, ($11,000 and
$78,000, respectively, representing the General Partner's expense reimbursement
and $9,000 and $16,000, respectively, representing LRC's 1% cash flow available
for distribution) as compared to





                                     - 16 -

<PAGE>   17

$58,000 and $115,000, respectively, ($7,000 and $61,000, respectively,
representing the General Partner's expense reimbursement and $51,000 and
$54,000, respectively, representing LRC's 1% of cash flow available for
distribution) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.  See Note
7 to the Partnership's financial statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K.

Professional Fees decreased approximately $31,000 and $59,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding periods
in 1995.  These decreases are primarily due to the fees paid in 1995 in
connection with the settlement with the Partnership's former attorneys (see
Note 5 to the financial statements included in Item 1).

The provision (credit) for lease losses reflects Management's ongoing
assessment of potential losses inherent in the lease portfolios.  Increased
provisions for lease losses in 1996 reflect increases in past due and deficient
leases.  In 1995, actual collections for certain leases were in excess of those
anticipated in prior years.
