NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1.    ORGANIZATION

         PW Technology  Partners,  L.P. (the "Fund"), was organized as a limited
         partnership  under the laws of Delaware on February 28, 1999.  The Fund
         is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") as a
         closed-end, non-diversified,  management investment company. The Fund's
         objective is to maximize capital  appreciation  over the long-term in a
         variety of market  conditions by  allocating  its assets among a select
         group of  portfolio  managers  who  invest  primarily  in,  or who have
         particular  knowledge within,  the technology sector.  Generally,  such
         portfolio   managers   conduct  their   investment   programs   through
         unregistered investment  partnerships,  which have investors other than
         the Fund, and in other registered  investment  companies  (collectively
         the  "Investment  Funds").  Commencement  of operations  began April 1,
         1999.

         The  General  Partner  of the  Fund is PW  Fund  Advisor,  L.L.C.  (the
         "Manager"),  a Delaware limited  liability  company.  The Manager is an
         indirect  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Paine Webber Group Inc.,  and is
         registered as an investment  adviser under the Investment  Advisers Act
         of 1940, as amended.  The Fund's General Partner, to the fullest extent
         permitted by applicable  law, has  irrevocably  delegated to a group of
         individuals  (the  "Directors")  its  rights  and  powers to manage and
         control  the  business  affairs of the Fund,  including  the  exclusive
         authority  to  oversee  and  to  establish   policies   regarding   the
         management, conduct and operation of the Fund's business.

         Initial  and  additional   subscriptions   for  interests  by  eligible
         investors  may be accepted at such times as the Manager may  determine.
         The Fund reserves the right to reject any subscription for interests in
         the  Fund.   Limited   Partners  can  only  transfer  or  assign  their
         partnership interests with the approval of the Manager.

   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 Fund's  financial  statements  are
         reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these
         estimates.

         A.   PORTFOLIO VALUATION

         The Fund's investments in Investment Funds are carried at fair value as
         determined  by the Fund's  pro-rata  interest in the net assets of each
         Investment  Fund based on the respective  Investment  Fund's  unaudited
         financial  statements.   All  valuations  are  net  of  management  and
         performance  incentive  fees or  allocations  payable to the Investment
         Funds' managers as required by the Investment Funds' agreements.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         A.   PORTFOLIO VALUATION (CONTINUED)

         The underlying  investment in each  Investment Fund is accounted for at
         fair value as described in each Investment Fund's financial statements.
         The fair value  relating  to certain  underlying  investments  of these
         Investment  Funds',  for  which  there  is no  ready  market,  has been
         estimated by the respective  Investment  Funds' management and is based
         upon  available  information  in the  absence of readily  ascertainable
         market  values and does not  necessarily  represent  amounts that might
         ultimately  be  realized.   Because  of  the  inherent  uncertainty  of
         valuation,  those estimated fair values may differ  significantly  from
         the  values  that  would  have  been  used had a ready  market  for the
         investments existed. These differences could be material.

         Distributions received,  whether in the form of cash or securities, are
         applied as a reduction of the investment's  cost when identified by the
         Investment Funds' as a return of capital.

         B.   PARTNERSHIP EXPENSES

         Costs incurred to organize the limited  partnership were expensed.  The
         Partnership  will bear all  expenses  incurred  in the  business of the
         Partnership,  including,  but not limited to, the following:  all costs
         and expenses  related to portfolio  transactions  and positions for the
         Partnership's  account; legal fees; accounting and auditing fees; costs
         of  insurance;  registration  expenses;  certain  offering  costs;  and
         expenses of meetings of Directors and limited partners.

         C.   CASH EQUIVALENTS

         For purposes of the  Statements  of Assets,  Liabilities  and Partners'
         Capital, cash equivalents represents amounts invested in the RBB Sansom
         Street Money Market Portfolio.

         D.   INCOME TAXES

         No provision for the payment of federal, state or local income taxes on
         the profits of the Fund will be made.  The  Partners  are  individually
         liable for the income  taxes on their  share of the Fund's  income.  In
         addition,  the  Fund  invests  in  securities   partnerships  that  are
         primarily involved in the purchase and sale of intangible  property for
         their own  accounts.  As such,  it is not  deemed to be  engaged  in an
         unincorporated  business  and  thus is not  subject  to New  York  City
         unincorporated business taxes.

    3.   INVESTMENTS

         As of June 30, 1999, the Fund had investments in Investment Funds, none
         of which were related  parties.  The Fund's  investments are summarized
         below based on the  investment  objectives  of the specific  Investment
         Funds at June 30, 1999.

           INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE             COST                  FAIR VALUE
           --------------------            ------                 ----------
           Long/Short Equity            $113,000,000             $120,593,749


         The agreements related to investments in Funds provide for compensation
         to the general  partners/managers  in the form of management fees of 1%
         to 2% (per  annum) of net  assets  and  performance  incentive  fees or
         allocations of 20% of net profits earned.

    4.   MANAGEMENT FEE, PROFIT ALLOCATION, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER

         Certain administrative and operational support services are provided to
         the  Fund  by  entities  related  to  the  Manager.   Pursuant  to  the
         Partnership Agreement,  the Fund pays a monthly management fee equal to
         .083% (1% per annum) of the capital account of each Limited Partner, to
         PW  Alternative  Asset  Management  Inc.  ("PWAAM"),   a  wholly  owned
         subsidiary of PaineWebber Group Inc. and managing member of the General
         Partner.

         In accordance with the Partnership Agreement,  the Manager is allocated
         an  amount  based  on the  performance  of the Fund  (the  "Performance
         Bonus"),  which is calculated  separately  with respect to each Limited
         Partner.

         The  General  Partner's  capital  account  balance at June 30, 1999 was
         $1,078,392.

         PFPC Inc. serves as Administrator and Accounting Agent to the Fund, and
         in that capacity provides certain accounting,  record keeping,  tax and
         investor related services.

         PFPC Trust Company serves as custodian of the Fund's assets.

    5.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

         In the normal  course of business,  the  Investment  Funds in which the
         Fund invests trade various financial instruments and enter into various
         investment  activities with off-balance sheet risk. These include,  but
         are not limited to, short selling activities, writing option contracts,
         contracts for differences, and equity swaps.

                                                          TO JUNE 30, 1999

         Ratio of operating expenses

         ** Rate of return assumes a purchase of a limited partnership  interest
            in the Fund on the first day and a sale of the  limited  partnership
            interest  on the  last  day of the  period  noted,  after  incentive
            allocation to the Manager, if any. Rate of return calculations for a
            period of less than a full year are not annualized.

    7.   YEAR 2000

         Like other investment companies,  financial and business  organizations
         around the world, the Fund could be adversely  affected if the computer
         systems  it uses and  those  used by the  Fund's  other  major  service
         providers  do  not   properly   process  and   calculate   date-related
         information  and data from and after January 1, 2000.  This is commonly
         known as the "Year 2000 Issue."

         The Fund has assessed its computer  systems and the systems  compliance
         issues of its other major service  providers.  The Fund has taken steps
         that it believes are reasonably designed to address the Year 2000 Issue
         with  respect  to  the  computer  systems  it  uses  and  has  obtained
         assurances  that  comparable  steps are being  taken by its other major
         service  providers.  At this time,  however,  there can be no assurance
         that these steps will be  sufficient  to address all Year 2000  Issues.
         The  inability  of the Fund or its  third  party  providers  to  timely
         complete all necessary  procedures to address the Year 2000 Issue could
         have a material  adverse  effect on the Fund's  operations.  Management
         will  continue to monitor the status of and its exposure to this issue.
         For the period  ending June 30,  1999,  the Fund  incurred no Year 2000
         related expenses, and it does not expect to incur significant Year 2000
         expenses in the future.

         The  Fund is in the  process  of  establishing  a  contingency  plan to
         address recovery from unavoided or unavoidable  Year 2000 problems,  if
         any.
