(1)      Financial Statement Adjustments and Footnote Disclosure

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited.  However, the Managing
General Partner of Boettcher Venture Capital Partners, L.P. believes all
material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been made.  Certain information and footnotes normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and regulations. Management believes the disclosures made are
adequate to make the information not misleading and suggests that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Boettcher Venture Capital
Partners, L.P. December 31, 1995 Annual Report.

(2)      Significant Accounting Principles

         Organization

Boettcher Venture Capital Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a Delaware
limited partnership, was formed on September 22, 1983 for the primary purpose
of making venture capital investments.  The Partnership sold 10,690 units of
limited partnership interests at $1,000 per unit in a public offering which
closed on September 27, 1984.

The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is EVEREN Securities, Inc.
("ESI"), which made an initial capital investment of $100.  The Individual
General Partners are three individuals who are independent of ESI and its
affiliates; and the President and Chief Operating Officer of ESI.  Each of the
Individual General Partners contributed $1,000 in cash.  It is the
Partnership's intent to liquidate its remaining investments as promptly as
market conditions allow and subsequently dissolve.

         Partnership Agreement

The Partnership Agreement (the "Agreement") provides for the allocation of the 
following:

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                                  (unaudited)

(a)      Administrative overhead (exclusive of General Expenses, as defined in
         the Agreement) will be paid in its entirety by the Managing General
         Partner, which will receive the Administrative Fee for this purpose.

(b)      Allocations of Annual Losses to the Managing General Partner in any
         given year are limited to the sum of its share of any Annual Realized
         Gains during that year plus any balance then remaining in its Capital
         Account.  Any additional losses will be allocated 1% to the Managing
         General Partner.  Allocations of costs, expenses, profits and losses
         to and among the Limited Partners shall be deemed to include the
         Individual General Partners to the extent of their initial
         contributions to the capital of the Partnership, as defined in the
         Agreement.

         Income Taxes
                     
         No provision has been made for federal income taxes in
         the accompanying financial statements as the revenue and expenses of
         the Partnership are reportable in the income tax returns of its
         partners.

         Valuation of Investments
                                   
         Short-term investments with maturities of 60 days or less are
         recorded at amortized cost or cost plus accrued interest which
         approximates market.  Investments with maturities greater than 60 days
         are generally recorded at current value based upon quoted market
         prices or prices obtained from other independent sources.

         The portfolio investments are valued at $2,483,751 and
         $2,582,257 (97% and 98% of total assets, respectively) at March 31,
         1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  These values have been
         estimated by the Managing General Partner under the supervision of the
         Individual General Partners in the absence of readily ascertainable
         market values.  The Managing General Partner follows the guidelines
         listed below in valuing portfolio investments:

         -   Portfolio investments are carried at cost until significant
             developments affecting the investee occur that provide a different
             basis for valuation.

         -   Any publicly traded securities not subject to restrictions on free
             marketability are valued at a 10% discount from the quoted bid or
             closing price on the valuation date.
         
         -   Increases or decreases in quoted market prices subsequent
             to the balance sheet date are not reflected in the valuations
             until the following period.

         -   In all cases, valuations are based on the judgment of the
             Managing General Partner after consideration of the above and
             other factors including, but not limited to, original cost,
             operating results, and financial condition of the portfolio
             concerns.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ
significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for
the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

(3)      Transactions with Related Parties

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement the Managing General Partner is to
receive an annual management fee (the "Administrative Fee") for providing
ongoing management and administrative services to the Partnership, equal to no
more than 3% of the first $10,000,000 of limited partnership interests, plus 2%
of the excess over $10,000,000, payable quarterly in arrears.  During the
period from commencement of operations through June 30, 1990, the
administrative fee equaled $300,000.  The following reductions in the fee were
agreed to by the Managing General Partner:

Actual administrative fees amounted to $35,303 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996.

Through June 30, 1990 each Individual General Partner received an annual fee of
$10,000, paid quarterly, from the Partnership, plus $1,000 for each day or part
thereof during which he attended meetings of the Partnership or related
committees, together with all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses relating to
attendance at these meetings.  The following reductions were agreed to by the
Individual General Partners:

(4)      Valuation Adjustments
         The change in the unallocated unrealized net appreciation
         (depreciation) of investments for the three months ended March 31,
         1996 is comprised entirely of a decrease of $46,914 in the valuation
         of the Partnership's investment in INTERLINQ Software Corporation.

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

   For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership had a net
investment loss allocable to partners of $43,796, representing an improvement
of $11,912 (21%) when compared to the loss of $55,708 reported in the
corresponding period in 1995.  The Partnership had no realized gain or loss on
sales of portfolio investments in the first quarter of 1996.

   Interest and dividend income remained relatively constant for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the corresponding period in 1995,
primarily due to the continuation of dividend accruals on the Partnership's
preferred stock investment in Coleman Natural Products, Inc.

   Total expenses were $58,935 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
representing a decrease of $11,305 (16%) when compared to the corresponding
period in 1995.  The administrative fee paid to the Managing General Partner
decreased $3,922 (10%) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 when compared
to the corresponding period in 1995, primarily the result of additional
reductions in the annual fee agreed to by the Managing General Partner in the
second quarter of 1995.  Similarly, fees paid to the Individual General
Partners, (IGP's) were also reduced in conjunction with the reduction in the
administrative fee previously discussed.  As such, the IGP fees decreased $475
(10%) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the
corresponding period in 1995.  See Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements
as contained in Item 1 of this report for further discussion of these fees.
Professional fees decreased $6,711 (31%) for the three months ended March 31,
1996 when compared to 1995, primarily the result of increased legal costs in
fiscal 1995 related to various administrative issues of the Partnership and the
Proxima lawsuit which was resolved in the first quarter of 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Cash as of March 31, 1996 was $15,757, a decrease of $7,611 when compared to
the 1995 fiscal year-end balance.  This decrease is the net result of the
Partnership's net cash used in operations and the net cash provided by
investing activities.  Other receivables decreased $7,857 from the year-end
1995 balance due to collection of accrued amounts receivable from PTR &L
Holdings, Inc. during the first quarter of 1996.  Accounts payable increased
$4,284 due to the accrual of fees related to the 1995 annual report and proxy
solicitation in the first quarter of 1996.

   The Partnership's decrease in net assets for the three months ended March
31, 1996 amounted to $90,710, and is comprised of its net investment loss of
$43,796 and a net decrease in the unrealized appreciation of portfolio
investments of $46,914.  This change in unrealized appreciation was due solely
to a decline in the market value of the Partnership's investment in INTERLINQ
Software Corporation.

   It is the Partnership's intent to liquidate its remaining investments as
promptly as market conditions allow and subsequently dissolve.
