ML VENTURE PARTNERS I, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



1.     Organization and Purpose

ML Venture Partners I, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited
partnership formed on February 12, 1982.  The Partnership's operations
commenced on October 15, 1982.  Merrill Lynch Venture Capital Co., L.P.,
the managing general partner of the Partnership (the "Managing General
Partner"), is a New York limited partnership formed on February 12, 1982,
the general partner of which is Merrill Lynch Venture Capital Inc. (the
"Management Company"), an indirect subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.

The Partnership's objective is to realize long-term capital appreciation
from its portfolio of venture capital investments.  From 1982 to 1986, the
Partnership assembled a portfolio of 34 venture capital investments in new
and developing companies and other special investment situations.  The
Partnership does not engage in any other business or activity.  At March
31, 1994, 31 of the 34 investments had been fully liquidated.  The
Partnership will not make investments in new companies and will not
reinvest the proceeds from the sale of its remaining investments, except
to make follow-on investments in existing companies, if necessary.

The Partnership's scheduled termination date is December 31, 1994.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Individual General Partners can
extend the term of the Partnership for an additional two-year period if
they determine that such extension would be in the best interest of the
Partnership.


2.     Significant Accounting Policies

Valuation of Investments - Portfolio investments are carried at cost until
significant developments affecting an investment provide a basis for
valuation.  Thereafter, portfolio investments are carried at fair value as
determined quarterly by the Managing General Partner under the supervision
of the Individual General Partners.  The venture capital portfolio
investments held by the Partnership involve a high degree of business and
financial risk that can result in substantial losses.  The Managing
General Partner considers such risks in determining the valuation of the
Partnership's portfolio investments.  Short-term investments are carried
at amortized cost which approximates market.

Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the
accrual method.  Portfolio investments are recorded on the trade date, the
date on which the Partnership obtains an enforceable right to demand the
securities or payment therefor.  Realized gains and losses on investments
sold are computed on a specific identification basis.

Income Taxes - No provision for income taxes has been made since all
income and losses are allocable to the Partners for inclusion in their
respective tax returns.

Statements of Cash Flows -The Partnership considers its interest-bearing
cash account to be cash equivalents.


3.     Allocation of Partnership Profits and Losses

The Partnership Agreement provides that the Managing General Partner will
be allocated, on a cumulative basis over the life of the Partnership, 20%
of net realized capital gains or 10% of net realized capital losses.  The
Partnership's net realized gains or losses in excess of this allocation to
the Managing General Partner, as well as all other income, losses,
deductions and credits, if any, will be allocated among all the Partners,
including the Managing General Partner, in the proportion of their capital
contributions to the Partnership.  For the period from October 15, 1982
(commencement of operations) to March 31, 1994, the Partnership had a
cumulative net realized gain of $20 million.


4.     Related Party Transactions

The Management Company performs, or arranges for others to perform, the
management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the
Partnership.  The Management Company receives compensation at the annual
rate of 2% of the net assets of the Partnership.  Such fee is determined
and payable quarterly.

ML VENTURE PARTNERS I, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



5.     Independent General Partners' Fees

As compensation for services rendered to the Partnership, each of the
three Independent General Partners receives $15,000 annually in quarterly
installments, $1,000 for each meeting of the General Partners attended or
for each other meeting, conference or engagement in connection with
Partnership activities at which attendance by an Independent General
Partner is required and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended ($500
if a committee meeting is held on the same day as a meeting of the General
Partners).

general partner of the Partnership, the unaudited financial statements  as
of  March  31, 1994, and for the three and six month periods  then  ended,
reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results
of the interim period.


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During its first four years of operations, from 1982 to 1986, the
Partnership completed the selection of its 34 portfolio investments.
During that time, the Partnership invested a majority of the $54.7 million
of net proceeds received from its 1982 public offering.  Since 1986, the
Partnership has made additional follow-on investments in certain existing
portfolio companies.  As of March 31, 1994, the Partnership had fully
invested the original net proceeds.  The Partnership will not make
additional investments in new portfolio companies and expects that follow-
on investments in existing portfolio companies will be nominal, if any.

At March 31, 1994, 31 of the Partnership's 34 portfolio investments had
been fully liquidated and one of its remaining three investments was
partially liquidated.  The portfolio investments liquidated through March
31, 1994, had a cost of $51.9 million and returned $71.9 million, for a
cumulative net realized gain of $20 million.  Generally, all cash received
from the sale of portfolio investments, after an adequate reserve for
operating expenses, is distributed to Partners as soon as practicable after
receipt.  Accordingly, on January 20, 1994, the Partnership made a cash
distribution to Partners totaling $1.6 million, primarily representing
proceeds received from the sale of certain portfolio investments.  From its
inception through March 31, 1994, the Partnership had made cash
distributions to Partners totaling $73 million, representing proceeds
received from the sale of portfolio investments and other income.

At March 31, 1994, the Partnership had $523,000 in cash and cash
equivalents.  Funds needed to cover future operating expenses and follow-on
investments, if any, will be obtained from the Partnership's existing cash
reserves and from the future sale of portfolio investments, if necessary.

On November 4, 1992, the Individual General Partners, in accordance with
the Partnership Agreement, voted to extend the Partnership's termination
date to December 31, 1994.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the
Individual General Partners can extend the term of the Partnership for an
additional two-year period if they determine that such an extension would
be in the best interest of the Partnership.

Results of Operations

Net realized gain or loss from operations is comprised of 1) net realized
gains or losses from portfolio investments sold or written-off and 2) net
investment income or loss.  For the quarter and six months ended March 31,
1994, the Partnership had a net realized loss from operations of $649,000
and $692,000,  respectively.  For the quarter and six months ended March
31, 1993, the Partnership had a net realized loss of $406,000 and a net
realized gain from operations of $5.5 million, respectively.

Realized Gains or Losses from Portfolio Investments - For the quarter and
six months ended March 31, 1994, the Partnership had a $585,000 and a
$578,000 net realized loss from portfolio investments sold and written-
off, respectively.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the
Partnership wrote off the remaining $620,000 cost of its original $1.6
million investment in Qume Corporation due to the continued depressed
public market price and limited trading volume of its common shares.  Also
during the quarter, the Partnership sold 135,000 common shares of
Alpharel, Inc. in the public market for $213,000, realizing a gain of
$35,000.  In December 1993, the Partnership sold 45,000 common shares of
Alpharel in the public market for $66,000, realizing a gain of $7,000.

For the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1993, the Partnership had a
$376,000 net realized loss and a $5.6 million net realized gain from
portfolio investments sold or written-off, respectively.  During the three
months ended March 31, 1993, the Partnership wrote off $126,000 of the
remaining cost of its investment in BehaviorTech, Inc. and its remaining
$250,000 investment in Private Satellite Network, Inc. due to continued
financial and operating difficulties at these companies.  During the three
months ended December 31, 1992, the Partnership sold its remaining 423,082
common shares of Viewlogic Systems, Inc. in the public market for $6.7
million, realizing a gain of $6 million.

Investment Income and Expenses - Net investment loss (investment income
less operating expenses) for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
1993 was $64,000 and $30,000, respectively.  Net investment loss for the
six months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 was $114,000 and $80,000,
respectively.  The increase in net investment loss for the 1994 periods
compared to the 1993 periods is the result of a decrease in interest
income earned from the Partnership's short-term investments during the
1994 periods offset by reductions in the management fee and other
operating expenses incurred during the 1994 periods.

For the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership earned
$8,000 and $58,000 from short-term investments, respectively.  For the six
months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership earned $23,000 and
$113,000 from short-term investments, respectively.  Interest earned from
short-term investments fluctuates primarily due to changes in amounts
available for investment.  The Partnership had short-term investments for
only a portion of the six month period ended March 31, 1994 and has had no
short-term investments since the cash distribution to Partners was paid on
January 20, 1994.

The Management Company receives compensation at the annual rate of 2% of
the net assets of the Partnership.  Such fee is determined and payable on
the basis of the Partnership's net assets at the end of each calendar
quarter.  The management fee for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was
$16,000 compared to $23,000 for the same period in 1993.  The management
fee for the six months ended March 31, 1994 was $31,000 compared to
$64,000 for the same period in 1993.  The decreased management fee for the
1994 periods results from the Partnership's reduced net asset value for
the 1994 periods compared to the 1993 periods.  The reduced net asset
value primarily is due to the continued liquidation of the Partnership's
investment portfolio and subsequent cash distributions paid to Partners.
It is expected that the management fee will continue to decline in future
periods as the Partnership's remaining portfolio investments are
liquidated and cash distributions to Partners are approved.  The
management fee and other expenses incurred directly by the Partnership are
paid with funds provided from operations.  Funds provided from operations
are obtained from interest earned from short-term investments, when
available, and proceeds received from the sale of certain portfolio
investments.

Unrealized Gains and Losses and Changes in Unrealized Appreciation or
Depreciation of Portfolio Investments - For the quarter and six months
ended March 31, 1994, the Partnership had a net unrealized gain from its
portfolio investments of $347,000 and $350,000, respectively, primarily
resulting from the upward revaluation of its investment in Acuity Imaging,
Inc.  Additionally, for the six month period ended March 31, 1994, the
Partnership transferred a net $525,000 from unrealized loss to realized
loss primarily due to the write off of its investment in Qume, as
discussed above.  As a result, the Partnership's net unrealized
appreciation of investments increased $874,000 for the six month period.

For the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1993, the Partnership had a
net unrealized gain from its portfolio investments of $727,000 and
$687,000, respectively, primarily resulting from the upward revaluation of
its investment in Inference Corporation.  Additionally, for the six month
period ended March 31, 1993, the Partnership transferred a net $3.2
million from unrealized gain to realized gain primarily due to the sale of
its remaining investment in Viewlogic, as discussed above.  As a result,
the Partnership's net unrealized depreciation of investments increased
$2.5 million for the six month period.

Net Assets - Changes to net assets resulting from operations are comprised
of 1) net realized gains or losses from operations and 2) net changes to
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.  For the six
months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership's net assets from
operations increased $183,000 and $3.1 million, respectively.

At March 31, 1994, the Partnership's net assets were $3.2 million, down
$1.4 million from $4.5 million at September 30, 1993.  This decrease
resulted from the $1.6 million cash distribution paid to Partners in
January 1994 offset by the $183,000 net increase to net assets resulting
from operations for the period.

At March 31, 1993, the Partnership's net assets were $4.6 million, down
$4.4 million from $9 million at September 30, 1992.  This decrease
resulted from the $3.3 million cash distribution paid to Limited Partners
in January 1993 and the $4.2 million accrued cash distribution paid to
Limited Partners in April 1993, offset by the $3.1 million increase to net
assets resulting from operations for the period.

Gains and losses from investments are allocated to the Partners' capital
accounts when realized in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (see
Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements).  However, for purposes of
calculating the net asset value per Unit, net unrealized appreciation or
depreciation of investments has been included as if it had been realized
and allocated to the Limited Partners in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement.  Pursuant to such calculation, the net asset value at March 31,
1994 and September 30, 1993, was $201 and $291 per $5,000 Unit,
respectively.  The Partnership's net assets and net asset value per Unit
will continue to decline as cash distributions are declared and paid to
Partners.

Cash Distributions - On January 20, 1994, the Partnership made a cash
distribution to Partners totaling $1,552,000:  $1.2 million, or $100 per
Unit, to Limited Partners of record on December 31, 1993 and $352,000 to
the General Partners.  From its inception through March 31, 1994, the
Partnership has made cash distributions to its Partners totaling $73
million:  $4 million to the General Partners and $69 million to the
Limited Partners, representing $5,750 per $5,000 Unit.
