NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
- ----------------------------------------

1.    General
      -------

In the opinion of the Investment Managers, the Balance Sheets as of March
31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and the related Statements of Operations,
Statements of Member's Equity, and Statements of Cash Flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, reflect all adjustments which are
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for such periods.  These statements should be
read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.  The following notes to financial statements for
activity through March 31, 2000, supplement those included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  Allocation of income and loss to Investors is based
on cumulative income and loss.  Adjustments, if any, are reflected in the
current quarter balances.

2.    Change in Accounting Principle for Organizational Costs
      -------------------------------------------------------

Effective January 1, 1999, the Fund adopted the provisions of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position
98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities" ("SOP 98-5.")  SOP
98-5 specifies that organizational costs should be expensed as incurred
rather than capitalized and subsequently amortized.

The effect of adopting SOP 98-5 on net loss before the cumulative effect
of the change in accounting principle for the three months ended March
31, 1999 was to reduce the loss by $2,500, or $.66 per share.  The effect
on net loss (including a non-cash charge of $40,000, or $10.52 per share,
for the cumulative effect as of January 1, 1999) was $37,500, or $9.86
per share.  The cumulative effect of this change on the Fund's balance
sheet as of January 1, 1999 was to reduce organizational costs by
$40,000.

The pro forma effect of retroactive application of this accounting
principle would have resulted in net realized loss for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 of $64,966, and net realized loss per Share of
$17.08.

3.    Financing of Fund Operations
      ----------------------------

The Investment Managers expect cash received from future investor share
sales, liquidation of fund investments, and investment income to provide
the necessary liquidity for Fund operations.  The Fund may be dependent
upon the financial support of the Investment Managers to fund operations
if future proceeds are not received timely.  The Investment Managers have
committed to support the Fund's working capital requirements through
short-term advances as necessary.

4.    Net Loss Per Investor Share
      ---------------------------

Net loss per Investor Share is calculated by dividing total net loss
allocated to the Investors by the weighted average number of Shares
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 of 4,788
and 3,766, respectively.

5.    Related Party Transactions
      --------------------------

Related party costs are included in costs and expenses shown on the
Statement of Operations.  Related party costs for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, were as follows:

Reimbursable operating expenses                 32,201          25,903
</TABLE>

At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 management fees payable totaled
$22,756 and $17,824, respectively.

Certain reimbursable expenses have been accrued based upon interim
estimates prepared by the Investment Managers and are adjusted to actual
costs periodically.  At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, due to
related parties for such expenses was $370,041 and $301,031,
respectively.

The Fund reimburses the Investment Managers and Distributors for
distribution costs.  Distribution costs charged to the Fund by related
parties were $60,100 and $11,600 in the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively.  As discussed in Note 8, additional distribution
costs have been, and will be, incurred by the Distributors, and will be
payable by the Fund as additional investor capital is raised.
Distribution costs payable were $385,700 and $325,600 at March 31, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively.

Resolution Sciences Corporation
- -------------------------------

In February 2000, the Fund purchased 15,000 Series C Preferred shares for
$30,000.  This purchase was funded, in part, by cash advances from the
Investment Managers.

Other Equity Investments
- ------------------------

Other significant changes reflected above relate to market value
fluctuations or the elimination of a discount relating to selling
restrictions for publicly traded portfolio companies.

Subsequent to March 31, 2000, the fair value of the Partnership's
investment in Women.com Networks, Inc. decreased by $22,660 as a result of
a decrease in the publicly traded market price on May 8, 2000.

7.    Cash and Cash Equivalents
      -------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,

                                             ======          =======
</TABLE>

As of March 31, 2000, the Fund's monies were on deposit at a single
financial institution.

Under terms of an agreement with the Fund's bank, the use of the funds
arising from sales of shares via automatic clearing house (ACH) wire
transfers and credit card transactions are restricted for a maximum period
of 90 days.  At March 31, 2000, such restricted funds totaled $35,100.

8.    Commitments and Contingencies
      -----------------------------

The Fund reimburses the Distributors for distribution costs incurred in
connection with the offering of its shares. The Distributors expect the
Fund to reimburse these costs to the extent capital has been raised.  At
March 31, 2000, the Distributors had incurred distribution costs totaling
$3,121,684, of which $120,000 has been paid and $385,700 has been recorded
as a liability of the Fund, with the remaining portion of $2,615,984
payable to the Distributors as additional capital is raised.  Additional
distribution costs are expected to be incurred throughout the offering
period and will be payable by the Fund as additional capital is raised.
The Fund's distribution costs, however, are limited to 10.5% of the total
proceeds raised in this offering.  Any distribution costs paid to the
Distributors in excess of this limitation will be reimbursed to the Fund
prior to the end of the offering period.  If the Fund had not sold any
additional shares subsequent to March 31, 2000, distribution costs would
have been limited to $53,098.  Distribution costs charged to the Fund
through March 31, 2000 in excess of the limitation would have totaled
$455,679 and would have been borne by the Distributors.  Cash payments made
by the Fund through March 31, 2000 for such excess costs totaled $73,212
and would have been reimbursable to the Fund by the Distributors.  The Fund
reports these deferred distribution costs, to the extent that investor
capital has been raised, as a liability and as a deduction from Members'
equity.

9.    Subsequent Event--Suspension of Offering
      ----------------------------------------

Technology Funding Securities Corporation, at the request of the Directors
of the Fund, suspended the offering of the Fund's shares pending the filing
of a Post-Effective Amendment to the Fund's Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  No shares in the Fund can be offered
until the Post-Effective Amendment has been declared effective.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

During the three months ended March 31, 2000, net cash used by operating
activities totaled $1,861.  The Fund received advances from the Investment
Managers for operating expenses totaling $20,109 and paid $7,616 in
compensation to Independent Directors.  Other operating expenses of $14,354
were paid.

During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Fund purchased equity
investments of $30,000 in a company in the medical industry.  The Fund
received proceeds of $60,100 from sales of Investor shares and $55 from
Investment Managers' capital contributions and paid $751 in distribution
costs.  Net funds deposited to restricted cash totaled $11,600.  The Fund
received cash advances of $16,700 from the Investment Managers for
investment purchases.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2000, were $40,972.  Future proceeds
from the sale of Fund shares, sales of equity investments, interest income
earned on short-term investments and operating cash reserves along with
Investment Managers' support are expected to be adequate to fund
Partnership operations through the next twelve months.

Technology Funding Securities Corporation, at the request of the Directors
of the Fund, suspended the offering of the Fund's shares pending the filing
of a Post-Effective Amendment to the Fund's Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  No shares in the Fund can be offered
until the Post-Effective Amendment has been declared effective.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Current quarter compared to corresponding quarter in the preceding year
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999
were $85,106 and $104,966, respectively.

As explained in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Fund adopted SOP
98-5 as of January 1, 1999.  This adoption resulted in a $40,000 charge in
the first quarter of 1999 to write off previously capitalized
organizational costs in accordance with SOP 98-5.

Operating expenses totaled $57,569 and $49,648 for the quarters ended March
31, 2000 and 1999,respectively.  The increase is due to increased
investment activity.

The $14,989 decrease in net unrealized fair value of equity investments in
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 is due to a decrease in the publicly
traded market price of Women.com Networks, Inc.

Given the inherent risk associated with the business of the Fund, the sale
of additional investor shares and future performance of the portfolio
company investments may significantly impact future operations.
