Augusta Partners, L.P.

Notes to Financial Statements - June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)



1.  Organization

Augusta Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized under the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on May 30, 1996.  The Partnership is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") as a
closed-end, non-diversified management investment company.  The Partnership
will operate until December 31, 2021 unless further extended or sooner
terminated as provided for in the Limited Partnership Agreement (the
"Agreement"), as amended and restated on July 16, 1996.  The Partnership's
investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation.  The Partnership
pursues this objective by investing principally in equity securities of
publicly-traded U.S. companies.  The Partnership may also invest in equity
securities of foreign issuers and in bonds and other fixed-income securities
of U.S. and foreign issuers.

There are five "Individual General Partners" and a "Manager."  The Manager
is Augusta Management, L.L.C. whose principal members are Oppenheimer & Co.,
Inc. ("Opco") and Ardsley Advisory Partners ("Ardsley").  Investment
professionals at Ardsley manage the Partnership's investment portfolio on
behalf of the Manager under Opco's supervision.

The acceptance of initial and additional contributions, as well as the
repurchase of Partnership interests, are subject to approval by the Manager.
The Partnership may from time to time offer to repurchase interests pursuant
to written tenders by Partners.  Such repurchases will be made at such times
and on such terms as may be determined by the Individual General Partners,
in their complete and exclusive discretion.  The Manager expects that
generally it will recommend to the Individual General Partners that the
Partnership repurchase interests from Partners once in each year effective
as of the end of each such year.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Manager to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes.  The Manager believes that the estimates utilized in
preparing the Partnership's financial statements are reasonable and prudent;
however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

a.  Portfolio Valuation

Securities and commodities transactions, including related revenue and
expenses, are recorded on a trade-date basis and dividends are recorded on
an ex-dividend date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Domestic exchange traded or NASDAQ listed equity securities will be valued at
their last composite sale prices as reported on the exchanges where such
securities are traded.  If no sales of such securities are reported on a
particular day, the securities will be valued based upon their composite bid
prices for securities held long, or their composite ask prices for
securities held short, as reported by such exchanges.  Securities traded on
a foreign securities exchange will be valued at their last sale prices on
the exchange where such securities are primarily traded, or in the absence
of a reported sale on a particular day, at their bid prices (in the case of
securities held long) or ask prices (in the case of securities held short)
as reported by such exchange.  Listed options will be valued using last sales
prices as reported by the exchange with the highest reported daily volume for
such options or, in the absence of any sales on a particular day, at their
bid prices as reported by the exchange with the highest volume on the last
day a trade was reported.  Other securities for which market quotations are
readily available will be valued at their bid prices (or ask prices in the
case of securities held short) as obtained from one or more dealers making
markets for such securities.  If market quotations are not readily
available, securities and other assets will be valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by, or under the supervision of, the Individual
General Partners.

Debt securities will be valued in accordance with the procedures described
above, which with respect to such securities may include the use of
valuations furnished by a pricing service which employs a matrix to
determine valuation for normal institutional size trading units or
consultation with brokers and dealers in such securities.  The Individual
General Partners will periodically monitor the reasonableness of valuations
provided by any such pricing service.  Debt securities with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less will, absent unusual circumstances, be valued
at amortized cost, so long as such valuation is determined by the Individual
General Partners to represent fair value.

Futures contracts and options thereon, which are traded on commodities
exchanges, are valued at their settlement value as of the close of such
exchanges.

All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be
converted into U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates provided by a
pricing service compiled as of 4:00 p.m. London time.  Trading in foreign
securities generally is completed, and the values of such securities are
determined, prior to the close of securities markets in the U.S.  Foreign
exchange rates are also determined prior to such close.  On occasion, the
values of such securities and exchange rates may be affected by events
occurring between the time as of which determination of such values or
exchange rates are made and the time as of which the net asset value of the
Partnership is determined.  When such events materially affect the values of
securities held by the Partnership or its liabilities, such securities and
liabilities will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or
under the supervision of, the Individual General Partners.

b.  Partnership Expenses

The expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with its organization
are being amortized over a 60 month period beginning with the commencement
of operations, September 4, 1996. 

Syndication costs totaling $50,000 related to the Partnership's initial
offering have been charged directly to the capital accounts of the limited
and general partners.

c.  Income Taxes

No federal, state or local income taxes will be provided on the profits of
the Partnership since the partners are individually liable for their share
of the Partnership's income.

3.  Management Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other

Opco provides certain management and administrative services to the
Partnership including, among other things, providing office space and other
support services to the Partnership.  In exchange for such services, the
Partnership pays Opco a monthly management fee of .08333% (1% on an
annualized basis) of the Partnership's net assets determined as of the
beginning of the month, excluding assets attributable to the Manager's capital
account.

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, Opco earned $3,060 in brokerage
commissions from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the
Partnership.

At the end of the twelve month period following the admission of a limited
partner to the Partnership, and generally at the end of each fiscal year
thereafter, the Manager is entitled to an incentive allocation of 20% of net
profits, if any, that have been credited to the capital account of such
limited partner during such period.  The incentive allocation will  be
charged to a limited partner only to the extent that cumulative net profits
with respect  to such limited partner through the close of any period exceeds
the highest level of cumulative net profits with respect to such limited
partner through the close of any prior period.  As of June 30, 1997, there
was no incentive allocation.

Each Independent Individual General Partner, who is not an "interested
person" of the Partnership as defined by the Act, receives an annual retainer
of $5,000 plus a fee for each meeting attended.  The other Individual General
Partners do not receive any annual or other fees.  All Individual General
Partners are reimbursed by the Partnership for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by them in performing their duties.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1997, these fees (including meeting fees and a pro-rata
portion of the annual retainer) and expenses totaled $11,257.  One Individual
General Partner, who is an "interested person" of the Partnership, as
defined by the Act, holds a limited partnership interest in the Partnership.

Morgan Stanley Trust Company serves as Custodian of the Partnership's assets.

PFPC Inc. serves as Administrator and Accounting Agent to the Partnership,
and in that capacity provides certain accounting, recordkeeping, tax and
investor services.

4.  Securities Transactions

Aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term
securities, for the six months ended June 30, 1997, amounted to $358,519,455
and $337,512,264, respectively.

At June 30, 1997, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes
was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.
At June 30, 1997, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments,
options, and securities sold, not yet purchased, was $10,611,343, consisting
of $15,073,567 gross unrealized appreciation and $4,462,224  gross
unrealized depreciation.

Due from broker primarily represents proceeds from unsettled trades and
short sales.  Due to broker primarily represents liabilities from unsettled
security purchases.

5.  Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk or
    Concentrations of Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Partnership may trade various
financial instruments and enter into various investment activities with
off-balance sheet risk.  These financial instruments include forward and
futures contracts, options and sales of securities not yet purchased. 
Generally, these financial instruments represent future commitments to
purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified
future dates.  Each of these financial instruments contain varying degrees
of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the market value of the
securities underlying the financial instruments may be in excess of the
amounts recognized in the statement of assets, liabilities and partners'
capital.

The Partnership's foreign exchange trading activities involve the purchase
and sale (writing) of foreign exchange options having various maturity
dates.  The Partnership may  seek to limit its exposure to foreign exchange
rate movements by hedging such option positions with foreign exchange
positions in spot currency, futures and forward contracts.  At June 30,
1997, the Partnership had no spot currency, futures or forward contracts
outstanding.

Securities sold, not yet purchased, represent obligations of the Partnership
to deliver the specified security and thereby creates a liability to
purchase the security in the market at prevailing prices.  Accordingly,
these transactions result in off-balance sheet risk as the Partnership's
ultimate obligation to satisfy the sale of securities sold, not yet
purchased, may exceed the amount recognized in the statement of assets,
liabilities and partners' capital.

The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Partnership pays
a premium whether or not the option is exercised.  Additionally, the
Partnership bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value
should the counterparty not perform under the contract.  Put and call options
purchased are accounted for in the same manner as investment securities.

When the Partnership writes an option, the premium received by the
Partnership is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the
current market value of the option written.  If a call option is exercised,
the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying
security or currency in determining whether the Partnership has realized a
gain or loss.  In writing an option, the Partnership bears the market risk
of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency
underlying the written option.  Exercise of an option written by the
Partnership could result in the Partnership selling or buying a security or
currency at a price different from the current market value.

A summary of the notional amounts of open purchased option contracts as of
June 30, 1997, is as follows:

                                    Notional Amounts

     Equity Options                    $12,005,000

7.  Short-Term Borrowings

The Partnership has the ability to trade on margin and, in that connection,
borrow funds from brokers and banks for the purchase of equity and fixed
income securities.  Trading in equity securities on margin involves an
initial cash requirement representing at least 50% of the underlying
security's value with respect to transactions in U.S. markets and varying
percentages with respect to transactions in foreign markets.  The Act
requires the Partnership to satisfy an asset coverage requirement of  300%
of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time the
Partnership incurs the indebtedness.  As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership
had margin borrowings outstanding of $3,097,176.  For the six months ended
June 30, 1997, the average daily amount of such borrowings was $1,979,139.
