                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                June 30, 1996
                                 (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 12.5% annually to an
annual rate of 6% effective with the October 1, 1995 distribution. 
On October 1, 1996, the Partnership will enter its Liquidating
Phase.  Accordingly, the Continuing Limited Partners will receive
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 six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership,
Datronic Equipment Income Fund XVIII, L.P., Datronic Equipment
Income Fund XIX, L.P., and Datronic Equipment Income Fund XX, 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 $1.1 million.  Of this
amount, approximately all of the proceeds were allocable to
Continuing Limited Partners and invested in new leases.

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
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 
$1,493,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This
decrease is primarily attributable to principal collections of
approximately $1,368,000 and a provision for lease losses of
$125,000.

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).  This cash was repaid to
the Partnership with interest in June 1996.

In the aggregate, partners' equity decreased approximately $1.2
million during the six months ended June 30, 1996 due to a net loss
of approximately $470,000 and distributions to partners of
approximately $763,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership's
operating activities resulted in an approximate use of $319,000 of
cash.  This was due principally to a net loss of approximately
$470,000 and decreases in accounts payable and security deposits of
approximately $94,000 partially offset by non-cash expenses of
approximately $120,000 relating to amortization and a provision of
$125,000 for lease losses.  During the period, cash flows from
investing activities aggregated approximately $1,074,000 relating
to principal collections on leases of approximately $1,368,000 and
the availability of restricted cash in the amount of approximately
$336,000.  Cash flows used for financing activities of
approximately $763,000, consisted of distributions to Continuing
Limited Partners of approximately $756,000 and the General Partner
of approximately $7,000.

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 will enter the Liquidating Phase. 
Accordingly, the Continuing Limited Partners will receive 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
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
statement included in Item 1). 

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

Lease income decreased approximately $136,000 and $232,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
corresponding periods in 1995.  The decrease is primarily due to a
decline in the lease portfolios and a $45,000 provision recorded in
the second quarter of 1996 to provide for the return of lessee
overpayments previously recorded as lease income.

Interest income increased approximately $69,000 for both the three
and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding
periods in 1995.  The increase is primarily due to the recognition
in the second quarter of 1996 of interest previously earned on
restricted 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 $193,000 and $406,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $264,000 and $504,000 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 six months ended June 30, 1996 were
approximately $18,000 and $74,000 ($15,000 and $67,000,
respectively, representing the General Partner's expense
reimbursement and $3,000 and $7,000, respectively, representing
LRC's 1% cash flow available for distribution) as compared to
$51,000 and $89,000 ($35,000 and $54,000, respectively,
representing the General Partner's expense reimbursement and
$16,000 and $35,000, respectively, representing LRC's 1% of cash
flow available for distribution) for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995.  See Note 7 to the Partnership's financial
statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K.

Professional Fees decreased approximately $40,000 and $29,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1995 primarily due to decreased audit fees
and legal fees related to collections and Partnership claims
against former accountants and others.

The provision (credit) for lease losses reflects Management's
ongoing assessment of potential losses inherent in the lease
portfolios and, in 1995, actual collections for certain leases in
excess of those anticipated in prior years.
