NOTE 1 - LIMITED PARTNERSHIP DISTRIBUTION:

During June 2000, the Partnership made a cash distribution to Limited Partners
who were owners of record on March 31, 2000. This distribution was made from
residual cash, which is cash available for distribution after satisfying current
Partnership liabilities and setting aside reserves against potential future
Partnership liabilities. The total distribution paid to Continuing and
Liquidating Limited Partners was $1,170,000 and $92,000, respectively. Pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement, these amounts were allocated among Limited
Partners based on each Partners' proportionate share of total partners capital
attributable to their Class.

NOTE 2 - LITIGATION

In connection with the 1992 Ventre class action, the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered an order on September 27,
2000 finding that Edmund J. Lopinski, Jr. had caused the Datronic Partnerships
to sustain losses of $20.0 million. Against this amount, the Court offset $10.9
million that has already been realized on behalf of the Partnerships through the
sale of Diverted and Other Assets and insurance settlements. The Court also
found that Lopinski is entitled to offset the remaining $9.1 million loss with
the proceeds previously received from the other defendants in the Ventre action
and the appraised value of the Schaumburg office building. Proceeds received
from the other defendants totaled $4.9 million, leaving $4.2 million to be
recovered from the building. During the third quarter 2000, the General Partner
received appraisals for the building indicating that its value substantially
exceeds this amount. Accordingly, the losses assessed against Lopinski have been
fully mitigated.

With this ruling, the Ventre, et al v. Datronic Rental Corp., et al class action
is closed.

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, 1999
through September 30, 2000. The discussion and analysis of results of operations
is for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 as compared to
the corresponding periods in 1999. Any capitalized term not defined herein has
been defined or discussed in the Partnership's 1999 Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership continued to
liquidate its assets and use its cash to pay Partnership operating expenses, pay
a distribution to Limited Partners and to provide for the ultimate liquidation
of the Partnership. During this period, Partnership cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $1,276,000 to $753,000 at September 30, 2000 from $2,029,000 at
December 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily due to a distribution paid to
Limited Partners of $1,263,000 (see below) and by cash used in operations of
$372,000, partially offset by cash receipts from collections on leases of
$143,000 and a distribution of Diverted and other assets of $216,000.

During June 2000, the Partnership made a cash distribution to Limited Partners
who were owners of record on March 31, 2000. This distribution was made from
residual cash, which is cash available for distribution after satisfying current
Partnership liabilities and setting aside reserves against potential future
Partnership liabilities. The total distribution paid to Continuing and
Liquidating Limited Partners was $1,170,000 and $92,000, respectively. Pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement, these amounts were allocated among Limited
Partners based on each Partners' proportionate share of total partner's capital
attributable to their Class.

The Partnership's principal sources of future liquidity are expected to come
from cash-on-hand and proceeds from the sale of the remaining Diverted Assets
(consisting of cash and an office building in Schaumburg, Illinois). In
addition, nominal amounts are expected to be collected under payment plan
arrangements reached with delinquent lessees. The General partner expects that
the building will be sold during the first quarter of 2001 and the proceeds
included in a subsequent distribution to Limited Partners.

The Partnership's interest in the Schaumburg office building is carried on its
books at $402,000 (see Note 4 to the Partnership's financial statements included
in the 1999 Form 10-K). At March 1993, the date LRC was appointed general
partner, the building was approximately 40% occupied. Since then, occupancy has
increased to more than 80% and base rental rates have increased by 75%. An
appraisal received during the third quarter 2000 indicates that the building's
value has increased substantially over its book value.

After all assets are disposed of and the proceeds distributed to the Limited
Partners, the Partnership will be required to file final reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Internal Revenue Service. The general
partner expects this to occur sometime during 2001.

Results of Operations

The Partnership had net losses of $137,000 and $418,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000 in the aggregate for all classes of partners.
This compares to net losses of $90,000 and $256,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999. Differences in operating results between
Liquidating and Continuing Limited Partners are attributable to lease income and
expenses associated with 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 month period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 include the following:

Lease income:
Since October 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. As of September 2000 the Partnership no longer has an active
lease portfolio. However, it does have $368,000 of fully reserved balances.
Occasionally recoveries are made against these balances and any such amounts in
excess of the reserve result in lease income.

Interest income:
Interest income includes earnings on invested cash balances. Interest income for
2000 was lower than 1999 because of lower average invested cash balances
partially offset by increased interest rates.

General Partner's expense reimbursement:
General Partner's expense reimbursement includes payments to LRC for expenses it
incurred as general partner. These expenses represent expenses incurred by LRC
in its management of the day-to-day operations of the Partnership. Included in
the first quarter 2000 expenses are $88,000 of insurance premiums associated
with the final wrap up of Partnership affairs and its ultimate liquidation and
dissolution.

Professional fees:
Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 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 losses:
This provision reflects Management's ongoing assessment of the potential losses
inherent in the lease portfolio partially offset by lease collections in excess
of previously reserved balances.
