                                  (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:

Datronic Equipment Income Fund XIX, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on December 22, 1989 for the purpose of acquiring
and leasing both high-and low-technology equipment.  Reference is made to Notes
3, 4, 5, and 6 to the Partnership's financial statements included in the 1996
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 1996 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 1996 Form 10-K.

NOTE 3 - LIMITED PARTNERSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS:

Distributions to Liquidating Limited Partners were suspended after payment of
the October 1, 1995 distribution.  Distributions to Continuing Limited Partners
were reduced to an annual rate of 9% effective with the February 1, 1996
distribution.  The Partnership entered its Liquidating Phase in August 1996.
Accordingly, Continuing Limited Partners received their last reduced Target
Distribution on July 1, 1996 and received their first Liquidating Distribution
on October 1, 1996.

NOTE 4 - LEASE PORTFOLIO SALE:

During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership and Datronic
Equipment Income Fund XX, L.P. each entered into separate agreements to sell
equipment leases at a discount rate of 11.75% which resulted in aggregate net
proceeds of approximately $1.5 million.  The Partnership's share of the
proceeds was approximately $932,000.

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,
1996 through March 31, 1997.  The discussion and analysis of results of
operations is for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1996.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, Partnership assets continued to
be converted to cash in order to, generally, pay Partnership operating expenses
and make distributions to limited partners.

Investment in commercial lease paper, net decreased an aggregate of
approximately $16,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 due to
scheduled principal collections.

Net investment in direct financing leases decreased approximately $930,000
during the three months ended March 31, 1997.  This decrease is primarily
attributable to principal collections of approximately $1,004,000, partially
offset by a credit for lease loss of $74,000.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased approximately $114,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily due to payment of accrued legal
fees and sales and use taxes.

Lessee rental deposits decreased approximately $62,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 resulting from payments made to lessees.

In the aggregate, partners' equity decreased approximately $684,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1997 due to a net loss of approximately $181,000
and distributions to partners of approximately $503,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership's operating
activities resulted in a use of approximately $371,000 of cash.  This was due
principally to a net loss of approximately $180,000 and decreases in accounts
payable, accrued expenses and lessee rental deposits of approximately $176,000
and a non-cash credit for lease loss of $74,000, partially offset by a decrease
in due from management company of approximately $59,000.  During the period,
cash flows from investing activities aggregated approximately $1,021,000
comprised of principal collections on leases of approximately $1,004,000 and
collections of commercial lease paper of approximately $16,000.  Cash flows
used for financing activities of approximately $503,000, consisted of
distributions to limited partners of approximately $500,000 and the general
partner of approximately $3,000.





                                       11

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
lessees under the leases owned by the Partnership.  In addition, the
Partnership's sources of liquidity on a long-term basis are expected to include
proceeds from the sale of other assets of the Partnership including, without
limitation, Diverted and other assets and portions of the Partnership's lease
portfolios 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, provide for the ongoing pursuit of litigation and an orderly
liquidation of the Partnership.  Distributions to Liquidating Limited Partners
were suspended after the October 1, 1995 distribution.  Distributions to the
Continuing Limited Partners will continue as long as cash is available.  It is
unlikely that any additional distributions to Liquidating Limited Partners will
be made until all remaining assets are liquidated and the pending litigation is
resolved.

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 3, 5 and 9 to the Partnership's financial statements
included in the 1996 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 unlikely that any additional
distributions to Liquidating Limited Partners will be made until all remaining
assets are liquidated and the pending litigation is resolved, and the amount of
future distributions, if any, to the Limited Partners is likely to be
significantly less than the amount of partners' equity reflected in the March
31, 1997 Balance Sheets (see financial statements included in Item 1).

Results of Operations

Lease income decreased approximately $202,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to the corresponding period in 1996 primarily due to
the declining lease portfolio.

Interest income decreased approximately $24,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the corresponding period in 1996 primarily
due to an early payoff of an installment contract receivable in December, 1996
partially offset by additional interest earned as a result of increased cash
balances.





                                       12
<PAGE>   13

Amortization of organization and equipment acquisition costs decreased
approximately $110,000 due to these costs becoming fully amortized as of June,
1996.

Management fees-New Era represent amounts paid New Era for managing the
Partnership on a day-to-day basis pursuant to a Management Agreement which was
terminated effective June 30, 1996.  Accordingly, fees paid to New Era amounted
to zero for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $435,000 for
the same period in 1996. Subsequent to June 30, 1996 the General Partner has
assumed responsibility for day-to-day management of the Partnership and the
corresponding costs and expenses are included in General Partner's expense
reimbursement. See Note 8 to the Partnership's financial statements included in
the 1996 Form 10-K.

The General Partner's expense reimbursement represents amounts paid to LRC in
its capacity as general partner in excess of general partner distributions.
Total amounts paid to LRC for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were
approximately $369,000 ($366,000 representing the general partner's expense
reimbursement and $3,000 representing general partner distributions) as
compared to $197,000 ($183,000 representing the general partner's expense
reimbursement and $14,000 representing general partner distributions) for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase of approximately $172,000
results from expenses of approximately $206,000 incurred in 1997 to manage the
day-to-day operations of the Partnership due to the termination of the
Management Agreement with New Era as of June 30, 1996 (see Note 8 to the
Partnership's financial statements included in the 1996 Form 10-K), partially
offset by an overall decrease in all other expenses of approximately $34,000.

Professional fees decreased approximately $31,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the corresponding period in 1996 primarily
due to decreased legal fees relating to Partnership claims against former
accountants and others, and  audit fees.

Other operating expenses decreased approximately $17,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the corresponding period in 1996
primarily due to reductions in bank charges, UCC filing fees, and miscellaneous
expenses partially offset by increases in printing and postage expenses.

Credit for lease losses reflects Management's ongoing assessment of potential
losses inherent in the lease portfolio and actual lease collections on certain
leases in excess of those anticipated in prior years.
