                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
                                   (Unaudited)



NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND FINAL TERMINATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP:

Datronic Equipment Income Fund XVI, LP, a Delaware Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on April 21, 1987 for the purpose of acquiring and
leasing equipment. See Notes 5, 8, and 11 to the Partnership's financial
statements included in the 2000 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 that occurred.

Since August 3, 1993, the Partnership has been in its Liquidating Phase, which
means that it ceased investing in new leases and began the orderly liquidation
of its assets. The general partner expects the Partnership to complete the total
liquidation of its assets by the end of 2001 and to complete all final
termination and dissolution activities during the first half of 2002.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

Effective July 1, 2001, the Partnership commenced activities necessary for the
final liquidation, termination, and dissolution of the Partnership. All future
expenditures pertaining to this process, net of any expected recoveries of
miscellaneous assets or other receipts, have been accrued for and will be
charged to this accrual as they are incurred (see Notes 4 and 5 below).
Accordingly, the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2001 reflect
the estimated liquidating value of the Partnership and Partners' Equity
represents the estimated amount of net assets available for distribution to the
Limited Partners. In addition, the accompanying Statements of Expenses for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 reflect only the additional provisions
required to complete the liquidation, termination, and dissolution process. The
accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 2000 Form 10-K. The financial
information furnished herein is unaudited but in the opinion of Management
includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial
condition and results of operations.

NOTE 3 - GAIN ON SALE OF DIVERTED ASSETS:

The Partnership's gain on sale of Diverted Assets of $635,318 represents its
share of the June 30, 2001 cash balance of DRC Partnership Fund Inc. (Fund Inc.)
in excess of its book value thereof. On June 12, 2001, the Southwick Office
Centre was sold for



                                       12
<PAGE>


$15 million. After payment of sales commissions and other closing costs of
$456,654, net proceeds of $14,543,346 were received by Fund Inc. for the benefit
of the Partnerships. In addition, Fund Inc. held $1,415,485 of cash previously
generated by the operations of the Southwick Office Centre. The Partnership's
interest in these amounts is $770,493 (4.8%) and is included in "Cash and cash
equivalents" at September 30, 2001. The Partnership's book value of Diverted
Assets was $135,175.

NOTE 4 - ACCRUED DISSOLUTION EXPENSES

At December 31, 2000, the Partnership accrued $263,000 ($1.8 million for all
Datronic Partnerships) to provide for all expenses pertaining to the
Partnership's termination and dissolution. The general partner estimated that
this process would be completed by December 31, 2001. During the third quarter
2001, an additional $237,000 provision ($1.49 million for all Datronic
Partnerships) was recorded. This provision was necessary because of the
additional time required to terminate and dissolve the Partnership resulting
from the claims filed by Edmund J. Lopinski, Jr. (see Note 6). The general
partner now expects that all termination and dissolution activities will be
completed during the first half of 2002.

NOTE 5 - ACCRUED INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS

During the third quarter 2001, the Partnership recorded a $300,000 provision for
indemnity obligations ($2.5 million for all Datronic Partnerships). This amount
represents the general partner's estimate of the Partnership's continuing
obligation to indemnify the general partner, its officers, directors, and
employees (collectively "indemnitees"). The general partner is obligated to
indemnify its directors, officers and employees and is entitled to reimbursement
for all its expenses, including its indemnification obligation, from the
Partnerships. Furthermore, under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,
as amended, (subject to various terms therein) the Partnership, and any receiver
or trustee appointed to administer the business or assets of the Partnership,
will indemnify and pay all judgments and claims against the General Partner and
any of its Affiliates, and save the same harmless from any liability, loss or
damage incurred by them or by the Partnership by reason of any act performed or
omitted to be performed by them that was determined in good faith by the General
Partner to have been in the best interest of the Partnership in connection with
the activities of the Partnership or in dealing with third parties on behalf of
the Partnership, including costs and attorneys' fees and any amounts expended in
the investigation or settlement of any claims of liability, loss or damage,
provided that such act or omission does not constitute fraud, negligence, breach
of fiduciary duty or misconduct.



                                       13
<PAGE>
The indemnity obligation provides for any currently uninsured, unasserted claims
that may be asserted after the Partnership is terminated and dissolved. The
general partner determined that the cost of maintaining ongoing accounting and
investor records during the ten years for which the indemnity obligation will
exist would exceed the Partnership's obligation. Therefore, the general partner
has caused the Partnership to relinquish any claim it might have to any future
residual cash. If there is no residual cash and claims still exist, the
indemnitees will be personally responsible for any shortfall. In the event that
the total amount funded is not needed, any residual balance will be donated to
charity.

NOTE 6 - LITIGATION:

During May of 2001, Edmund J. Lopinski, Jr., acting as his own attorney and who
is presently incarcerated at the Marion Federal Correctional Institution in
Marion, Illinois, filed several motions with the Federal District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois claiming that all proceeds received from the sale
of the Southwick office building in excess of the unsatisfied civil judgment
entered against him (approximately $10 million) belonged to him. During the
third quarter 2001, the court found Mr. Lopinski's claim to be without merit and
issued an order permitting the distribution of the net proceeds to the
Partnership's investors.

PART I

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, 2000
through September 30, 2001. The discussion and analysis of results of operations
is for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the
corresponding period in 2000. Any capitalized term not defined herein has been
defined or discussed in the Partnership's 2000 Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2001, the Partnership's sole source of liquidity was its cash
and cash equivalents totaling $2.14 million. After payment of the following
items, the Partnership will distribute all of its remaining cash to its Limited
Partners.

-    Accrued dissolution expenses -  $425,000
-    Accrued indemnity obligations - $300,000
-    All other remaining known liabilities of the Partnership.

The general partner expects the distribution to Limited Partners will occur in
mid-December 2001.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, Partnership cash and cash
equivalents increased by $498,000. This net increase was due to proceeds of
$770,000 received from the sale of the Southwick office building (see below),
partially offset by cash used to pay (i) $199,000 of operating expenses incurred
through June 30, 2001 and (ii) $76,000 of dissolution expenses. Since July 1,
2001, the activities undertaken by the Partnership and its general partner have
pertained to the termination and dissolution process. Accordingly, all expenses
incurred since then have been characterized as dissolution expenses and, as
such, have been (and will continue to be) charged against the accrual for
dissolution expenses that was originally established as of December 31, 2000.

On June 12, 2001, the general partner closed the sale of the Southwick Office
Centre, which represented the last remaining Diverted Asset, for $15 million.
After payment of sales commissions and other closing costs, the net proceeds for
all Partnerships was approximately $14.5 million. The Partnership's 4.8% share
of the net proceeds and an additional $1.4 million held by DRC Partnership Fund,
Inc. ($770,000) is included in the Partnership's September 30, 2001 balance
sheet as "Cash and cash equivalents".



                                       15
<PAGE>
As of September 30, 2001, the general partner expects to utilize an additional
$425,000 of cash to terminate and dissolve the Partnership. Termination and
dissolution activities include liquidation of all remaining liabilities (see
above), calculation and distribution of the final cash distribution to the
Limited Partners, preparation of final state and federal tax returns,
preparation and mailing of final K-1s, filing of final state and federal
regulatory documents, closing of all bank accounts, and completion of all other
tasks as are necessary to conclude the Partnership's affairs. The expenses
associated with these activities have been fully provided for in  "Accrued
dissolution expenses" shown in the Partnership's September 30, 2001 balance
sheet. This accrual was originally established as of December 31, 2000 in the
amount of $263,000. During the third quarter, an additional $238,000 provision
was recorded because of the additional time that will be necessary to complete
the termination and dissolution process. The additional time is the result of a
claim that was made against the net proceeds from the Southwick Office Centre
sale (see Note 6) that prevented the general partner from undertaking various
dissolution activities until the claim was resolved in the third quarter 2001.

The general partner is obligated to indemnify its directors, officers and
employees and is entitled to reimbursement for all its expenses, including its
indemnification obligation, from the Partnerships. Furthermore, under the terms
of the Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended, (subject to various terms
therein) the Partnership, and any receiver or trustee appointed to administer
the business or assets of the Partnership, will indemnify and pay all judgments
and claims against the General Partner and any of its Affiliates, and save the
same harmless from any liability, loss or damage incurred by them or by the
Partnership by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by them
that was determined in good faith by the General Partner to have been in the
best interest of the Partnership in connection with the activities of the
Partnership or in dealing with third parties on behalf of the Partnership,
including costs and attorneys' fees and any amounts expended in the
investigation or settlement of any claims of liability, loss or damage, provided
that such act or omission does not constitute fraud, negligence, breach of
fiduciary duty or misconduct.

Since this obligation continues after the Partnership is terminated and
dissolved, a separate indemnification fund will be established. This fund will
be used for indemnification of any currently uninsured, unasserted claims that
may be asserted after the Partnership has been terminated and dissolved.

The general partner estimates that the Partnership's obligation totals $300,000.
Previously, the general partner estimated that this obligation could be as much
as $392,000, thus allowing an additional




                                       16
<PAGE>


$92,000 to be available for the final distribution to the Limited Partners. The
general partner has also determined that the cost of maintaining ongoing
accounting and investor records during the ten years for which the indemnity
obligation will exist would exceed the Partnership's obligation. Therefore, the
general partner has caused the Partnership to relinquish any claim it might have
to any future residual cash. If there is no residual cash and claims still
exist, the indemnitees will be personally responsible for any shortfall. In the
event that the total amount funded is not needed, any residual balance will be
donated to charity.

Results of Operations

The Partnership had net losses of $537,000 and $96,000, respectively, for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. This compares to net losses of
$99,000 and $214,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000. The increase in net loss between the three-month periods is
due to the third-quarter 2001 provisions for dissolution expenses and indemnity
obligations (totaling $537,000) which exceeded the $119,000 of net operating
expenses that were incurred in the third-quarter of 2000. Because all activities
subsequent to June 30, 2001 pertain to the termination and dissolution process,
all related expenses have been charged against the balance sheet accrual.
Accordingly, no operating expenses appear in the third-quarter 2001 Statements
of Expenses.

Favorable factors that contributed to the decrease in net loss for the
nine-month periods were the $635,000 gain on the June 2001 sale of the Southwick
office building and decreased operating expenses. Operating expenses for the
nine-month periods decreased by $421,000 because no operating expenses were
recorded after June 30, 2001 and those incurred through June 30, 2001 reflected
the favorable effects of staff reductions and other savings related to decreased
activity. Partially offsetting these favorable factors during the nine-month
periods were the $537,000 of aggregate provisions for dissolution expenses and
indemnity obligations described above and the $343,000 gain on the April 2000
sale of foreclosed property.
