PART I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
Datronic Equipment Income Fund XX, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a Delaware Limited
Partnership, was formed on April 30, 1991. The Partnership offered Units of
Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units") during late 1991 and early 1992
raising $37,748,000 of limited partner funds.
As more fully described in Part II, Item 8, Notes 1, 5, and 8(a), 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 Liquidation Phase, which began January 1, 1997, 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
Liquidation 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. During the second
quarter of 1996 the Partnership ceased investing in equipment subject to lease.
Accordingly, a discussion of sources and availability of leases, backlog and
competition is not material to an understanding of the Partnership's future
activity.
The Partnership has no employees. LRC, the General Partner, employed 34 persons
at December 31, 1997 all of whom attend to the operations of the Datronic
Partnerships.

<PAGE> 3
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.

<PAGE> 4
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 18, 1998, the Partnership estimates that there were approximately
2,326 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, 1997,
1996, 1995, 1994 and 1993 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

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 $198,000 in 1997 in the aggregate for all
classes of partners. This compares to aggregate net income in 1996 and net loss
in 1995 of $63,000 and $337,000, respectively. 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 three years ended December 31, 1997 include
the following:
Lease income:
Over the three years ended December 31, 1997, lease purchases have declined to
zero. Accordingly, the lease portfolio has continued to decrease as collections
are made, resulting in a continued decline in lease income. This trend will
continue as the Partnership liquidates its remaining leases. In addition to
portfolio income, 1996 income included $308,000 from the full and final
settlement of a sublease agreement with PCR.
Settlement proceeds:
Settlement proceeds in 1995 reflect the settlement with the Datronic
Partnerships' former attorneys (see Note 8(a)(i) 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, both 1995 and 1996 include interest earned on an installment
contract. 1996 interest on this contract also includes $954,000 of previously
unrecorded interest income received in December of that year from the early
payoff of the remaining balance due.
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.
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, 1997 reflects no New Era management fees and 1996
results reflect only six months of such fees plus $564,000 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).
6
<PAGE> 7
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 include additional
expenses incurred by LRC in its management of the day-to-day operations of the
Partnership. As a result of these additional expenses, the General Partner's
expense reimbursement shows a year-to-year increase for the three years ended
December 31, 1997. Partially offsetting these increases are the effects of staff
reductions and other cost savings realized during 1997 and the second half of
1996. 1997 expenses also include $45,000 of insurance premiums for coverage that
extends through the ultimate liquidation of the Partnership and $25,000 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:
This 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 1997 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. The 1995 expense includes fees paid in
connection with a settlement with the Partnership's former attorneys.
Professional fees - Other:
These fees show a year-to-year decrease for the three years ended December 31,
1997 because of the decreasing level of professional services required in such
areas as collections, consulting, accounting and auditing. These decreases are
the result of the decrease in the Partnership's lease portfolio and related
activities.
Other operating expenses:
This represents general administrative expenses, which, with the exception of a
one time increase in 1996, are decreasing with the declining size of the lease
portfolio.
Credit for lease loss:
The credit reflects Management's ongoing assessment of the potential losses
inherent in the lease portfolio. The credits in 1996 and 1997 reflect recoveries
of lease balances previously reserved, including recoveries on the Master Lease
agreement with CRCA of $83,000 and $439,000, respectively. See Note 4 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in Item 8.
Provision for loss on installment contract receivable:
The provision (credit) in 1995 reflects a collection of an installment contract
that had been fully reserved in 1993.
7
<PAGE> 8
Provision (credit) for loss on Diverted and other assets:
This provision (credit) reflects Management's ongoing assessment of the net
realizable value of various assets held for the benefit of this and the other
Datronic Partnerships. The credit in 1997 reflects a recovery of amounts
previously reserved for loss in 1995 in connection with a decrease in the
estimated net realizable value of one of the Diverted and other assets. 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 1997, Partnership assets continued to be converted to cash in order to
pay Partnership operating expenses, liquidate Partnership liabilities, and
increase cash balances to provide cash reserves for the ultimate liquidation of
the Partnership.
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.
During 1997, the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,250,000
to $3,785,000 at December 31, 1997 from $2,535,000 at December 31, 1996. This
increase is primarily due to cash receipts from collections on leases of
$2,009,000 (including approximately $600,000 from leases that were fully
reserved), partially offset by distributions to the Limited Partners of $186,000
and cash used in operations of $573,000.
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 cost
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 December 31, 1997 balance sheets (see
Partnership's financial statements included in Item 8).
8
<PAGE> 9
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, if any,
of the Partnership in the Year 2000.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Partners of Datronic
Equipment Income Fund XX, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets in total for all classes of
limited partners of DATRONIC EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND XX, L.P. ("the Partnership")
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 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, 1997. 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, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997 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, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997 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.

DATRONIC EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND XX, L.P.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996, AND 1995
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. Through March 4, 1993, Datronic
Rental Corporation ("DRC") was the general partner of the Partnership and
Datronic Equipment Income Funds XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX 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 $367,000. 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 January 1, 1997, the Partnership began its Liquidation 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, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997 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 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,

<PAGE> 26
DATRONIC EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND XX, L.P.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
1997, 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 $6.76 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). 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), 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.
ORGANIZATION, EQUIPMENT ACQUISITION AND OFFERING COSTS - Organization and
equipment acquisition costs paid to DRC were capitalized and amortized on a
straight-line basis over 60 months commencing in the seventh month after units
were first offered for sale to the public. Offering costs paid to DRC were
charged to partner's equity.
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.

DATRONIC EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND XX, L.P.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
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 - NET INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCING LEASES:
The components of the net investment in direct financing leases at December 31,
1997 and 1996 are as follows:

NOTE 4 - RESIDUAL INTEREST IN CRCA
Residual interest in CRCA represents the Partnership's 35% interest in the
assets of Computer Rental Corporation of America, Inc.("CRCA"). Fund XVIII holds
the remaining 65% interest in CRCA. All of the stock of CRCA was obtained by LRC
for the benefit of the Partnership and Fund XVIII as a result of CRCA's 1992
default on its master lease agreements with the Partnership and Fund XVIII.
At December 31, 1996, $3.8 million due from CRCA under the master lease was
included in the Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases as a non-performing
lease and was fully reserved for in the allowance for lease losses. At December
31, 1997, the remaining $3.4 million was written-off against the allowance (see
Note 3) since the Partnership's sole means of recovering amounts due it is from
the liquidation of CRCA's remaining assets. At December 31, 1997, CRCA's assets
consisted of the following:

Notes receivable represent remaining amounts due CRCA from the 1996 sale of
substantially all of its assets to Personal Computer Rental Corp. ("PCR"). PCR's
$6.2 million purchase price was paid in the form of a $1.5 million senior note,
a $4.2 million subordinated note, and the assumption of approximately $500,000
of liabilities. The $4.2 million note is subordinate to the $14 million security
interest of another PCR creditor. The following summarizes PCR's 1996 and 1997
note payments to CRCA and the respective amounts of these payments that were
distributed to the Partnership and Fund XVIII:

</TABLE>
These amounts are shown as recoveries on the Partnership's master lease with
CRCA and are included in the Partnership's credit for lease losses in the
accompanying Statement of Revenue and Expenses (see Note 3).
Principal and interest at 9% were payable monthly with the final $4.8 million of
principal due on November 1, 1997. PCR did not make the November 1, 1997
payments on either note. On January 2, 1998 LRC, on behalf of CRCA, exercised
its rights under the note agreements. Subsequently, CRCA received $644,952 from
the aforementioned secured creditor in full satisfaction of the senior note
($590,075) plus associated expenses. LRC subsequently transferred $206,526 to
the Partnership and $383,549 to Fund XVIII representing their respective shares
of the proceeds. The Partnerships have recorded these payments as 1998
recoveries. LRC is continuing to pursue collection of the $4.2 million
subordinated note.
The Partnership and Fund XVIII will record any additional amounts realized from
the liquidation of CRCA's remaining assets as credits to the provision for lease
losses when the cash if any, is received by the Partnerships.
During 1992 through 1995, up to 62% of the outstanding stock of PCR was held by
a subsidiary of CRCA. A portion of the stock was held for the benefit of the
Partnership and Fund XVIII and the remainder was held as a Diverted and other
asset (see Note 5). These shares were sold in 1995. In early 1996, prior to the
sale of CRCA's assets to PCR, LRC sold CRCA's assets to a company owned by one
of its executives. In order to avail itself of PCR's higher offer, LRC
repurchased the assets previously sold at no gain or loss.

NOTE 5 - DIVERTED AND OTHER ASSETS:
The $13.3 million of funds allegedly misappropriated from the Datronic
Partnerships and TELIF (collectively the "Partnerships") (see Notes 1 and 8)
were commingled by the alleged wrongdoers with $10.3 million of other 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.
Since 1993, LRC has been liquidating these assets and distributing available
funds to the Partnerships. The Partnership's undivided interest in the Diverted
and other assets, and related distributions, is approximately 2.8% of the total.
The Partnership's remaining interest in the Diverted and other assets is
reflected in the accompanying Balance Sheets at estimated net realizable value
which is equal to cost, less allowances to reflect Management's estimates of
current market value and future costs to be incurred. At December 31, 1997,
these assets consisted primarily of real estate and cash.
The following tables summarize the activity related to Diverted and other
assets, both in total and for the Partnership's interest therein, for the three
years ended December 31, 1997.

</TABLE>
The 1995 loss provision of $1,625,000 (Partnership's share was $44,996)
primarily represents the write-off of the Datronic Partnerships' interest in a
real estate development limited partnership. $700,000 (Partnership's share was
$19,383) of this was recovered in 1997 and is reflected as a credit for recovery
of assets. The 1996 loss provision of $500,000 (Partnership's share was $13,845)
primarily reflects a settlement of claims against Diverted and other assets.
LRC is continuing its efforts to liquidate the remaining Diverted and other
assets and will make additional distributions to the Partnerships as funds
become available. 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:
In accordance with a 1993 Court approved Settlement, substantially all of DRC's
assets, net of related debt, were transferred to LRC as nominee and agent for
the Datronic Partnerships for the benefit of the Class A and B Limited Partners.
The Partnership was assigned an undivided, pro-rata interest in the Datronic
Assets equal to 10.2% of the total. Proceeds from the liquidation of these
assets have been and will be, if additional amounts are realized, used to
reimburse the Class A and Class B Limited Partners for legal fees paid in
connection with the 1993 partial settlement of class action litigation (see
Notes 2 and 8(a)(i)). During 1995, $393,013 was distributed to the Datronic
Partnerships (the Partnership's share was $40,087).
At December 31, 1996 and 1997, the remaining Datronic Assets consisted of
$800,892 of cash, less a corresponding reserve for claims against Datronic
assets including a claim made by a former DRC creditor (see Note 8(b)).

NOTE 8 - LITIGATION:
(a) At December 31, 1997, the Partnerships and/or the limited partners of the
Datronic Partnerships were plaintiffs in the following matters:
(i) Claims against professionals
During 1992, a class action lawsuit ("Class Action") was certified on behalf of
the limited partners in the Datronic Partnerships ("the Class") against DRC,
various officers of DRC and various other parties. The Class Action was
subsequently amended to add, as defendants, Siegan, Barbakoff, Gomberg & Kane
(the Datronic Partnerships' former securities counsel) ("Siegan"), Weiss and
Company, (the Datronic Partnerships' independent accountants prior to 1990)
("Weiss") and Price Waterhouse (the Datronic Partnerships'
33
<PAGE> 34
DATRONIC EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND XX, L.P.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
independent accountants during 1990 and 1991). During 1993, the Datronic
Partnerships filed cross-claims against Siegan, Weiss and Price Waterhouse
(collectively "Defendants") alleging professional negligence, breach of
contract, violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 (as to Weiss
and Price Waterhouse only) and breach of fiduciary duty (as to Siegan).
During 1995, the Court dismissed all Class claims against Price Waterhouse.
Class Counsel intends to appeal the dismissal order in accordance with Court
rules at the appropriate time. The Court also ruled it did not have jurisdiction
with respect to the Datronic Partnerships' cross-claims against Price Waterhouse
and Weiss. As a result, the cross-claims, excluding those alleging violations of
the Securities Act of 1933, were refiled and are pending in the Circuit Court of
Cook County, Illinois.
As plaintiffs in the above claims against Price Waterhouse and Weiss, the
Datronic Partnerships allege, among other things, that the actions of the
Defendants contributed to the improper payment of fees and expense
reimbursements to DRC. If fees and expenses were inappropriately paid, the
Datronic Partnerships might be deemed to have had a receivable from DRC for any
such payments. Since all of the assets of DRC were transferred to LRC for the
benefit of the Datronic Partnerships in connection with the Settlement (see Note
6) and DRC had subsequently ceased operations, such receivables would be
uncollectible.
During 1995, the Court approved a settlement of all Class claims and all
cross-claims against Siegan, whereby Siegan paid an aggregate amount of
$1,775,000 ($160,802 for the Partnership).
(ii) Other Claims
During 1996, the Court entered an order removing any claim that one of the
defendants of the class action had against the Partnership's Recovered Assets
and certain cash accounts. Pursuant to the terms of the order, approximately
$725,000 of Recovered Assets (the Partnership's interest therein is
approximately $20,000 and is included in Diverted and other assets at a net
amount of $0) will be held in escrow for the potential benefit of the defendant
pending the outcome of certain litigation to which the Partnership is not a
direct party.
(iii) Litigation Costs, Expenses and Fees
Future costs, expenses and fees of the Class Action and any subsequent Class
litigation will be paid in such amounts and from such sources as the Court shall
determine. Future fees and costs relating to the cross-claims and other
litigation undertaken on behalf of the Partnership will be paid by the
Partnership subject to the approval of LRC. It is anticipated that the Datronic
Partnerships will continue to expend funds in the future in pursuit of claims
described
34
<PAGE> 35
DATRONIC EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND XX, L.P.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
herein. Counsel for the Datronic Partnerships (same as Class Counsel) is
charging rates which are less than their normal rates and have a right to
receive a contingent fee equal to a percentage of the proceeds, if any,
resulting from the cross-claims against professionals.
(b) At December 31, 1997, the Partnership's General Partner, LRC, was a
defendant in the following matter:
Secured Lender Litigation
During 1993, in connection with the liquidation of a Recovered Asset, a secured
lender filed suit against LRC for an approximate $175,000 loss incurred by the
secured lender (see Note 6). The suit was dismissed by the Court during 1995 for
failure to state a claim. Upon appeal, a portion of the suit was remanded to the
lower court for trial. LRC believes the suit is without merit and is vigorously
contesting it.
Due to the uncertainty of the outcome of the pending litigation, no assets have
been recorded in the Partnership's financial statements relating to the pending
litigation discussed above.
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 was paid a $3.2 million dollar termination fee
(plus accrued interest) and the three principals of New Era were paid a total of
$1.0 million (plus accrued interest) for their agreement not to compete with the
business of the Datronic Partnerships for two years. The Partnership's share of
these payments was $563,662, which is included in the 1996 Statement of Revenue
and Expenses as part of the Management fees - New Era. Under the terms of the
Management Agreement, New Era and its principals were entitled to minimum
aggregate annual compensation of $2 million plus all operating expenses incurred
in connection with the management of all Partnerships.
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
35

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
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
Statement 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 participate 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 January 1, 1997, each Class B Limited Partner received cash distributions
equal to 12% 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 participate 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) does not participate in the Class Action, and (iii) did
not participate in the Settlement. In all other respects, including
distributions from the Partnership, Class C Limited Partners are the same as
Class B Limited Partners.
Distributions to Class A Limited Partners were suspended after payment of the
July 1, 1996 distribution and to Class B and C Limited Partners after payment of
the January 1, 1997 distribution. If the Partnership obtains funds from pending
litigation or cash is otherwise available after providing for the orderly
liquidation of the Partnership, additional distributions will be made at the
appropriate time.
Concurrent with the beginning of the Liquidating Phase on January 1, 1997, 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
36
<PAGE> 37
DATRONIC EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND XX, L.P.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
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, 1997:

NOTE 11 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
Leasing activity is conducted throughout the United States, with emphasis in
heavily populated states such as California, Florida, and New York. The cost of
equipment under lease typically ranges from $15,000 to $30,000. Such equipment
includes, but is not limited to: general purpose plant/office equipment,
printing and photo processing equipment, machine tool and manufacturing
equipment, computers and terminals for management information systems,
telecommunications equipment, medical equipment and automotive repair equipment.
At December 31, 1997 there are no significant concentrations of business
activity in any industry or with any one lessee. The Partnership maintains a
security interest in all equipment until the lessee's obligations are fulfilled.
