XANTHUS FUND, L.L.C.


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


     1.  ORGANIZATION

         Xanthus Fund,  L.L.C. (the "Fund") was organized as a limited liability
         company  under  the  laws of  Delaware  in  January  1999.  The Fund is
         registered  under the  Investment  Company act of 1940 (the "Act") as a
         closed-end,   non-diversified   management   investment  company.  CIBC
         Oppenheimer  Advisors,  L.L.C.  (the  "Adviser"),  a  Delaware  limited
         liability company,  serves as the investment adviser to the Fund and is
         responsible  for  the  Fund's  investment  activities  pursuant  to  an
         investment   advisory   agreement.   Responsibility   for  the  overall
         management  and  supervision of the operations of the Fund is vested in
         the  individuals  who serve as the Board of  Managers  of the Fund (the
         "Board of Managers").

         The  Fund's   investment   objective  is  to  achieve  maximum  capital
         appreciation.  It pursues  this  objective  by actively  investing in a
         portfolio  consisting  primarily  of equity  securities  of  technology
         companies  and of  companies  which  derive  a major  portion  of their
         revenue directly or indirectly from technological  events and advances.
         The Fund's  portfolio of securities in the technology  area is expected
         to include long and short positions  primarily in equity  securities of
         U.S. and  non-U.S.  companies.  Equity  securities  include  common and
         preferred  stock and other  securities  having equity  characteristics,
         including  convertible  debt  securities,  stock options,  warrants and
         rights.

         There are four  members of the "Board of  Managers"  and an  "Adviser."
         CIBC Oppenheimer  Advisers,  L.L.C. serves as the investment adviser of
         the  Fund  and  is  responsible  for  managing  the  Fund's  investment
         portfolio.  CIBC World Markets Corp.  (formerly CIBC Oppenheimer Corp.)
         is the managing member and controlling person of the adviser.

         The  acceptance of initial and additional  contributions  is subject to
         approval by the Board of Managers. The Fund may from time to time offer
         to repurchase  interests  pursuant to written tenders by Members.  Such
         repurchases  will be made at such  times  and on such  terms  as may be
         determined  by the Board of Managers,  in their  complete and exclusive
         discretion.  The Adviser expects that it will recommend to the Board of
         Managers  that the Fund offer to repurchase  interests  from Members at
         the end of 1999. Thereafter, the Adviser expects that generally it will
         recommend  to the Board of Managers  that the Fund offer to  repurchase
         interests  from  Members  twice each year,  effective at the end of the
         second fiscal quarter and again at the end of the year.

     2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

    2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         A.   PORTFOLIO VALUATION (CONTINUED)

         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.

         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 at their bid prices (or asked
         prices in the case of listed  options  held  short) 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 those  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 Board of
         Managers.

         Debt securities (other than convertible 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 Board of Managers 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 Board of Managers
         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 Fund is  determined.  When such  events  materially  affect  the
         values  of  securities  held  by  the  Fund  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 Board of Managers.

     2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         B.   INCOME TAXES

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

     3.  ADMINISTRATION FEE, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER

         CIBC World Markets Corp.  ("CIBC WM") provides  certain  administrative
         services to the Fund including,  among other things,  providing  office
         space and other  support  services to the Fund.  In  exchange  for such
         services, the Fund pays CIBC WM a monthly administration fee of .08333%
         (1% on an annualized  basis) of the Fund's net assets  determined as of
         the beginning of the month.

         Payable to affiliate  represents  organizational  expense and insurance
         expense in the amounts of $168,104 and $14,476,  respectively,  paid on
         behalf of the Fund by CIBC WM.

         During the period ended June 30, 1999, CIBC WM earned $320 in brokerage
         commissions from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

         The  Adviser of the Fund will serve as the Special  Advisory  Member of
         the Fund. In such capacity,  the Adviser will be entitled to receive an
         incentive  allocation  (the  "Incentive  Allocation"),  charged  to the
         capital  account of each  Member as of the last day of each  allocation
         period,  of 20% of the amount by which net profits,  if any, exceed the
         positive balance in the Member's "loss recovery account." The Incentive
         Allocation  will be  credited to the  Special  Advisory  Account of the
         Adviser.

         Each Manager  receives an annual retainer of $5,000 plus a fee for each
         meeting  attended.  None of the  Managers is or will be an  "interested
         person"  of  the  Fund  (as  defined  in the  Act).  All  Managers  are
         reimbursed  by the  Fund  for  all  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses
         incurred by them in performing their duties.  For the period ended June
         30, 1999, fees (including  meeting fees and a pro-rata annual retainer)
         and expenses paid to the Managers totaled $20,638.

         Chase Manhattan Bank serves as Custodian of the Fund's assets.

         PFPC Inc. serves as Investor Services and Accounting Agent to the Fund,
         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 period from May 4, 1999 (commencement of
         operations) to June 30, 1999,  amounted to $82,629,469  and $7,995,739,
         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, 1999, accumulated net unrealized  appreciation on
         investments was $6,446,271,  consisting of $10,006,693 gross unrealized
         appreciation and $3,560,422 gross unrealized depreciation.

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

     5.  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

         The Fund 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 Fund
         to satisfy an asset coverage  requirement of 300% of its  indebtedness,
         including  amounts  borrowed,  measured at the time the Fund incurs the
         indebtedness.  The Fund pays interest on outstanding  margin borrowings
         at an annualized rate of LIBOR plus .875%. The Fund pledges  securities
         as  collateral  for the margin  borrowings,  which are  maintained in a
         segregated account held by the Custodian. As of June 30, 1999, the Fund
         had outstanding margin borrowings of $13,134,911.  For the period ended
         June  30,  1999,  the  average  daily  amount  of such  borrowings  was
         $9,481,158.

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

         In the normal course of business,  the Fund 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. 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 Members'
         capital.

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

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

         Securities sold, not yet purchased represent obligations of the Fund to
         deliver  specified  securities  and  thereby  creates  a  liability  to
         purchase  such   securities   in  the  market  at  prevailing   prices.
         Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance sheet risk as the
         Fund's ultimate  obligation to satisfy the sale of securities sold, not
         yet  purchased  may exceed the amount  indicated  in the  Statement  of
         Assets, Liabilities and Members' capital.

         The risk  associated  with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a
         premium whether or not the option is exercised.  Additionally, the Fund
         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:

     9.  YEAR 2000

         Like  other   investment   companies   and   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  brokers and
         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 brokers and 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 satisfactory  assurances that comparable steps are being taken
         by its  brokers  and  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  ended 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 intends to develop  contingency  plans designed to ensure that
         third  party  non-compliance  will not  materially  affect  the  Fund's
         operations.
