         Troon  Partners,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership")  was  organized  under the
         Delaware Revised Uniform Limited  Partnership Act on December 12, 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 First
         Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement dated as of February
         10, 1999. The Partnership's  investment  objective is to seek long-term
         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,  bonds,  options and other fixed-income  securities of
         U.S. issuers.

         There  are  four  "Individual  General  Partners",  who  serve  as  the
         governing  board of the  Partnership,  and a "Manager."  The Manager is
         Troon  Management,  L.L.C.,  whose  principal  members  are CIBC  World
         Markets  Corp.   (formerly  CIBC  Oppenheimer  Corp.)  and  Mark  Asset
         Management  Corporation  ("MAMC").  Investment  professionals  at  MAMC
         manage the Partnership's  investment portfolio on behalf of the Manager
         under the supervision of CIBC World Markets Corp. ("CIBC WM").

         The  acceptance of initial and additional  contributions  is 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  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.

     2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         a.  PORTFOLIO VALUATION (CONTINUED)

         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
         asked 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 asked
         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
         asked 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. 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.

         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 such values
         or exchange  rates are determined and the time that 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.

     2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         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 on February 27, 1997.

         c.    INCOME TAXES

         No provision for the payment of Federal, state or local income taxes on
         the  profits  of  the  Partnership  will  be  made.  The  Partners  are
         individually  liable  for  the  income  taxes  on  their  share  of the
         Partnership's income.

     3.  MANAGEMENT FEE, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER

         CIBC WM 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 CIBC WM 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  period  ended  June 30,  2000,  CIBC WM  earned  $2,307 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.  During the six months ended June 30, 2000, incentive
         allocations to the Manager were $5,201,374.

         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. Any Individual
         General  Partner  who is an  "interested  person"  does not receive any
         annual  or other  fees from the  Partnership.  One  Individual  General
         Partner is an "interested  person" of the  Partnership.  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, 2000,  fees  (including  meeting fees and
         the  annual  retainer)  and  expenses  paid to the  Individual  General
         Partners totaled $18,904.

     3.  MANAGEMENT FEE, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER (CONTINUED)

         Chase Manhattan Bank served 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 related services.

     4.  SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

         Aggregate  purchases  and  sales of  investment  securities,  excluding
         short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2000, amounted
         to $324,004,610 and $290,196,385, respectively.

         At June 30,  1999,  the cost of  investments  for  Federal  income  tax
         purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
         purposes. At June 30, 2000, accumulated net unrealized  appreciation on
         investments  was   $176,177,569,   consisting  of  $205,358,064   gross
         unrealized appreciation and $29,180,495 gross unrealized depreciation.

         Due from broker represents  receivables  and  payables  from  unsettled
         security trades.

     5.  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

         The  Partnership  has the  ability  to trade  on  margin  and,  in that
         connection,   borrow  funds  from  brokers  and  banks  for  investment
         purposes.  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.  The  Partnership  pays
         interest on  outstanding  margin  borrowings at an  annualized  rate of
         LIBOR plus .875%. The Partnership  pledges securities as collateral for
         the margin  borrowings,  which are  maintained in a segregated  account
         held by the  Custodian.  As of  June  30,  2000,  the  Partnership  had
         outstanding  margin borrowings of $4,466,144.  For the six months ended
         June  30,  2000,  the  average  daily  amount  of such  borrowings  was
         $4,513,353.

     6.  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
         contracts,  options and securities sold, not yet purchased.  Generally,
         these financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or
         sell other financial  instruments at specific terms at specified future
         dates.

     6.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK OR
         CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)

         Each  of  these  financial  instruments  contains  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  maintains  cash in bank deposit  accounts  which,  at
         times,  may exceed  federally  insured limits.  The Partnership has not
         experienced  any  losses in such  accounts  and does not  believe it is
         exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

         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.

         Transactions in purchased options were as follows:
