NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Datronic Equipment Income Fund XX, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on April 30, 1991 for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing both high- and low-technology equipment.  The offering of limited
partnership units terminated on May 1, 1992.  See Notes 5, 8 and 10 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1997 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 1997 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 2 to the Partnership's financial statements
included in the 1997 Form 10-K.


NOTE 3 - LIMITED PARTNERSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS:

Distributions to Liquidating Limited Partners were suspended after payment of
the July 1, 1996 distribution and distributions to Continuing Limited Partners
were suspended after payment of the January 1, 1997 distribution.

NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT: SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION:

On May 5, 1998, Lease Resolution Corporation (LRC), on behalf of Datronic
Equipment Income Funds XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX and Datronic Finance Income
Fund I, reached an agreement to settle all claims of the aforementioned
partnerships against Weiss & Co. ("Settlement Agreement").  (See Note 8 to the
financial statements included in the Partnership's 1997 Form 10-K).  The
Settlement Agreement is contingent upon subsequent approval by the United
States District Court dismissing Weiss & Co. as a party defendant.  Pursuant to
the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Weiss & Co. has agreed to pay LRC, on
behalf of the aforementioned partnerships, $2.4 million. LRC will determine how
these proceeds, net of contingent attorneys fees of $600,000, will be
distributed among the partnerships upon completion of the trial currently in
process against Price Waterhouse. The Settlement Agreement 

                                       10



<PAGE>   11


provides for Weiss & Co. to transfer $2.4 million to an escrow account.  This
amount will be transferred to LRC no later than 30 days following the United
States District Court entering an order of dismissal of Weiss & Co. for which no
date has yet been set.  All limited partners will be notified of the date once
it has been scheduled.

Partnership.

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership's cash and cash
equivalents increased by $247,000 to $4,032,000 at March 31, 1998 from
$3,785,000 at December 31, 1997.  This increase is primarily due to cash
receipts from collections on leases of $245,000 and recovery of a portion of
the Partnership's residual interest in CRCA of $207,000, partially offset by
cash used in operations of $205,000.

The Partnership's sources of liquidity on both a long-term and short-term basis
are expected to come principally from cash-on-hand and cash receipts from
leases owned by the Partnership.  The lease portfolio is scheduled to be
substantially run out by the end of 2000, unless it is determined that it is in
the Partnership's best interest to dispose of the remaining portfolio earlier
through a bulk sale.  In addition, the Partnership's sources of liquidity on a
long-term basis include proceeds from the sale of Diverted and other assets.
Management believes that its sources of liquidity in the short and long-term
are sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements, provide for ongoing
pursuit of litigation, and an orderly liquidation of the Partnership.

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.  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 unlikely that any additional distributions
will be made until all remaining assets are liquidated and the pending
litigation is resolved.  The amount of future distributions, if any, to the
Limited Partners, in all likelihood, will be significantly less than the amount
of partners' equity reflected in the March 31, 1998 balance sheets (see
Partnership's financial statements included in Item 1.)

Results of Operations

The Partnership had  net income of $85,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 in the aggregate for all classes of partners.  This compares to an
aggregate net loss for the same period in 1997 of $167,000.  Differences in
operating results between Liquidating and Continuing Limited Partners are
attributable to lease income, acquisition costs, 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 two periods
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 include the following:

Lease income:
Since January 1997, the Partnership has been in its Liquidation 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 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1997.

Interest income:
Interest income increased for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared
to the corresponding period in 1997 as a result of increased invested cash
balances.

Amortization of organization and equipment acquisition costs:
Amortization of organization and equipment acquisition costs ended as of May
1997 when these costs became fully amortized.

General Partner's expense reimbursement:
The decrease in the first quarter 1998 expense is primarily due to D&O
insurance and reductions in staff and related costs.  Through the first quarter
1997, insurance premiums were paid on an annual basis; however, in September
1997 a one-time premium was paid that extended coverage through the ultimate
liquidation date of the Partnership.

Professional fees:
The 1998 increase reflects fees paid in connection with the ongoing litigation
against the Partnership's former accountants which is presently scheduled for
trial in May of 1998.  This increase is partially offset by the decreasing
level of professional services required in such areas as collections,
consulting and auditing. These decreases are the result of the decrease in the
Partnership's lease portfolio and related activities.

Credit for lease losses:
The credit reflects Management's ongoing assessment of the potential losses
inherent in the lease portfolio and collections on previously reserved
balances.  The 1998 and 1997 amounts also include $207,000 and $125,000,
respectively, of recoveries on the residual interest in CRCA.  See Note 4 to
the Partnership's financial statements included in the 1997 Form 10-K.
