                  Report of Independent Auditors

To the Members of
   Xanthus Fund, L.L.C.

We have audited the accompanying  statement of assets,  liabilities and members'
capital of Xanthus  Fund,  L.L.C.  (the  "Company"),  including the schedules of
portfolio  investments and securities sold, not yet purchased as of December 31,
1999,  and  the  related  statements  of  operations  and  changes  in  members'
capital--net assets for the period from May 4, 1999 (commencement of operations)
to December 31, 1999. These financial  statements are the  responsibility of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1999, by
correspondence  with the custodian and broker. An audit also includes  assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of Xanthus  Fund,  L.L.C.  at
December  31,  1999,  and the  results  of its  operations,  and  changes in its
members'  capital--net  assets for the period from May 4, 1999 to  December  31,
1999, in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States.

XANTHUS FUND, L.L.C.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - DECEMBER 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     1.  ORGANIZATION

         Xanthus Fund, L.L.C. (the "Company") was organized as a limited
         liability company under the laws of Delaware in January 1999. The
         Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
         "Act") as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company.
         The Company's term is perpetual unless the Company is otherwise
         terminated under the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement
         dated as of February 10, 1999. The Company'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 Company'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.

         Responsibility for the overall management and supervision of the
         operations of the Company is vested in the individuals who serve as the
         Board of Managers of the Company ("Board of Managers"). There are four
         members of the "Board of Managers" and an "Adviser." CIBC Oppenheimer
         Advisors, L.L.C. (the "Adviser"), a Delaware limited liability company,
         serves as the investment adviser to the Company and is responsible for
         managing the Company's investment activities pursuant to an investment
         advisory agreement. CIBC World Markets Corp. ("CIBC WM") (formerly CIBC
         Oppenheimer Corp.) is the managing member and controlling person of the
         Adviser.

         The acceptance of initial and additional capital contributions from
         Members is subject to approval by the Board of Managers. The Company
         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 generally
         it will recommend to the Board of Managers that the Company 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 Company's financial statements are
         reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these
         estimates.

     2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         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.

         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 sold 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 sold short) as reported by such
         exchange. Listed options will be valued at their bid prices (or asked
         prices in the case of listed options sold 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 sold 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 Company is determined. When such events materially affect the
         values of securities held by the Company 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 Company have been made. The Members are individually
         liable for their share of the Company's income.

     3.  ADMINISTRATION FEE, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER

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

         Payable to affiliate represents insurance premiums paid in the amount
         of $170,060 paid on behalf of the Company by CIBC WM.

         During the period ended December 31, 1999, CIBC WM earned $2,173 in
         brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of
         the Company.

         The Adviser will serve as the Special Advisory Member of the Company.
         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. During the
         period ended December 31, 1999, the Incentive Allocation to the Adviser
         was $15,166,237.

         Each member of the Board of Managers ("Manager") who is not an
         "interested person" of the Company, as defined by the Act, receives an
         annual retainer of $5,000 plus a fee for each meeting attended.
         Currently, no Manager is an "interested person" of the Company. All
         Managers are reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket
         expenses incurred by them in performing their duties. For the period
         ended December 31, 1999, fees (including meeting fees and a pro-rata
         annual retainer) and expense paid to the Managers totaled $26,538.

         The Chase Manhattan Bank serves as custodian of the Company's assets.

         PFPC Inc. serves as Investor Services and Accounting Agent to the
         Company, 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 December 31, 1999, amounted to $279,496,788 and
         $166,931,380, respectively.

         At December 31, 1999, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
         purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
         purposes. At December 31, 1999, accumulated net unrealized appreciation
         on investments was $75,031,693, consisting of $77,773,105 gross
         unrealized appreciation and $2,741,412 gross unrealized depreciation.

         Due from broker represents receivables and payables from unsettled
         security trades and proceeds from securities sold, not yet purchased.

     5.  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

         The Company 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
         Company to satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its
         indebtedness, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time the
         Company incurs the indebtedness. The Company pays interest on
         outstanding margin borrowings at an annualized rate of LIBOR plus
         0.875%. The Company pledges securities as collateral for the margin
         borrowings, which are maintained in a segregated account held by the
         Custodian. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding margin
         borrowings of $55,479,476. For the period ended December 31, 1999, the
         average daily amount of such borrowings was $21,427,015.

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

         In the normal course of business, the Company 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 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 Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may
         exceed federally insured limits. The Company 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 Company
         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
         Company'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 Company pays
         a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the
         Company 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:
