ML TECHNOLOGY VENTURES, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.       Organization and Purpose

ML  Technology  Ventures,   L.P.  (the  "Partnership")  is  a  Delaware  limited
partnership  formed in April 1984. ML R&D Co., L.P., the general  partner of the
Partnership  (the "General  Partner"),  is also a Delaware  limited  partnership
formed  in April  1984,  the  general  partner  of which is  Merrill  Lynch  R&D
Management Inc. (the "Management  Company"),  an indirect  subsidiary of Merrill
Lynch & Co., Inc.

The   objective   of  the   Partnership   is  to  achieve  cash  flow  from  the
commercialization of a broad range of technologies developed and owned by, or on
behalf of, the Partnership.  The Partnership engages in research and development
activities  for the  development  of new  technology  through  contracts,  joint
ventures and investments in other  partnerships.  The Partnership will terminate
no later than January 31, 2005.

2.       Significant Accounting Policies

Research and  Development  Costs - In prior periods,  the  Partnership  incurred
costs in connection with its research and development ventures, including patent
application  costs,  which were  expensed in the period  incurred.  Research and
development  expenses  were  shown net of value  received  for the  granting  of
options to purchase technology being developed.

Valuation  of  Investments  - In  accordance  with the  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 115,  investments  in  available-for-sale  securities
(publicly  traded  securities)  are  accounted  for at market value based on the
closing public market price on the last day of the quarter.  Non-publicly traded
securities  are accounted for at cost. The cost of an investment is written down
to its fair value when the investment is determined to be other than temporarily
impaired.

Investment  Transactions - Investment  transactions  are recorded on the accrual
method. 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  cash  held  in  its
interest-bearing cash account to be cash equivalents.

3.       Allocation of Partnership Profits and Losses

The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  that  profits  shall be  allocated to all
Partners in  proportion  to their  capital  contributions  until there have been
distributions  to the Limited  Partners  equal to their  capital  contributions,
after which time 90% will be  allocated  to the Limited  Partners and 10% to the
General Partner until there has

<PAGE>


ML TECHNOLOGY VENTURES, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


been  distributed  to the  Limited  Partners  an  aggregate  amount,  since  the
inception of the  Partnership,  equal to twice their capital  contributions  and
thereafter 80% will be allocated to the Limited  Partners and 20% to the General
Partner.  Losses  shall be  allocated  to all  Partners in  proportion  to their
capital  contributions  provided,  however, that to the extent profits have been
credited  in the 90-10 or 80-20  ratio,  losses  shall be charged in the reverse
order in which profits were credited.

4.       Commitment

The Partnership has a $412,696 commitment to fund MLMS Cancer Research, Inc. The
Partnership  is a  shareholder  of MLMS  Cancer  Research  which is the  general
partner of ML/MS  Associates,  L.P.,  formerly a research and development  joint
venture with IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation.

5.       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 a management fee at an annual rate
of  1% of  the  aggregate  capital  contributions  to  the  Partnership  payable
quarterly in arrears.

6.       Investments in Equity Securities at September 30, 1995

Beginning on January 1, 1994, the Partnership adopted the statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 ("FAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity  Securities".  The  effect on  partners'  capital  of  initially
applying FAS 115 is a change in accounting principle, and the unrealized gain or
loss for securities  available for sale is reflected as a separate  component of
partners' capital. In accordance with this statement, debt and equity securities
which do not have readily  determinable  market  values are not marked to market
and the market  values of these  securities  are not  reflected  in the  balance
sheet.

7.       Accounts Receivable

In June 1988,  the  Partnership  terminated its research and  development  joint
venture  with  United  AgriSeeds,  Inc.  Under  the  terms  of  the  termination
agreement,  accounted for as an installment  sale, the Partnership  will receive
$10 million  over an  eight-year  period  which began in January  1989.  The $10
million payment will result in a $4.1 million return of capital,  a $2.2 million
gain from the sale of  technology  and $3.7  million  of  interest  income to be
recorded over the payment  period.  At September 30, 1995,  the balance due from
United AgriSeeds, net of unamortized discount, was $4.2 million and the deferred
gain from the sale was  $981,000.  The cash  payments due from United  AgriSeeds
total $4.4 million at September  30, 1995. On October 3, 1995,  the  Partnership

10.      Interim Financial Statements

In the  opinion  of ML R&D  Co.,  L.P.,  the  managing  general  partner  of the

for the three  and nine  month  periods  then  ended,  reflect  all  adjustments
necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods.



<PAGE>


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From  1985 to 1991,  the  Partnership  funded  $59.6  million  of  research  and
development  commitments to 16 individual research and development ventures (the
"R&D Ventures"). This amount represents 95% of the original $62.5 million of net
proceeds  to the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  has no unfunded  research  and
development commitments and will not enter into new R&D Ventures in the future.

The Partnership invests its available cash in Permitted  Temporary  Investments,
primarily U.S. Treasury Bills, ("PTIs") as defined in the Partnership Agreement.
At September 30, 1995, the Partnership  had $2.5 million  invested in PTI's with
maturities  of less  than one  year and  $460,000  in an  interest-bearing  cash
account. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership
earned  $35,000 and $94,000 of interest from its PTI's,  respectively.  Interest
earned  from  PTI's  in  future  periods  will be  subject  to  fluctuations  in
short-term  interest  rates and changes in amounts  available for  investment in
PTI's.

At September 30, 1995,  cash payments due from United  AgriSeeds,  Inc.  totaled
$4.4 million.  The Partnership received a $2 million payment in October 1995 and
is expected to receive the  remaining  balance of $2.4 million in October  1996.
Such payments relate to the 1988  termination of the  Partnership's  R&D Venture
with United AgriSeeds.

It is anticipated that funds needed to cover future  operating  expenses will be
obtained from future royalty and licensing  income,  interest income from PTI's,
installment sale proceeds and proceeds received by the Partnership from the sale
of its equity securities.

The Partnership,  through the authority of its General Partner,  has the ability
to  borrow  funds.  Such  borrowing  may be used  for any  Partnership  purpose,
including working capital,  follow-on  expenditures for research and development
ventures or to exercise  warrants.  The  Partnership  is not permitted to borrow
more than 10% of the aggregate  capital  contributions to the  Partnership.  The
Partnership  has made no such  borrowings  to date and does not expect to borrow
funds in the future.

Results of Operations

For the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1995, the  Partnership  had a
net loss of $33,000 and net income of $221,000,  respectively. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Partnership had net income of $244,000
and $135,000,  respectively. Net income or loss is comprised of 1) net operating
income or loss and 2) net realized gain or loss.

Net Operating Income or Loss - For the three months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994,  the  Partnership  had a net  operating  loss of $33,000 and net operating
income of $244,000, respectively. The decrease in net operating income primarily
was the result of a $291,000  decrease  in  royalty  income for the 1995  period
compared to the 1994 period.  The decrease in royalty income for the 1995 period
was  due to a  reduction  in  royalties  earned  from  the  first  research  and
development  program with  Gen-Probe  Incorporated  ("Venture  #1").  During the
quarter  ended June 30, 1995,  the  Partnership  reached the maximum  cumulative
royalties to be paid under the agreement  with Gen-Probe  concerning  Venture #1
and will not  receive  any future  royalties  from  Gen-Probe  relating  to this
venture.  The  Partnership's  royalty  agreement  under the second  research and
development venture with Gen-Probe is still in effect.  Additionally,  a $33,000
increase  in other  interest  income for the 1995  period  compared  to the 1994
period  was  mostly  offset by a $24,000  reduction  in  interest  earned on the
receivable  due from United  AgriSeeds  during the 1995 period.  The increase in
other  interest  income for the 1995  period was due to an  increase  in amounts
invested in PTI's and higher  short-term  interest  rates during the 1995 period
compared to the 1994 period.

Net operating  income for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 and 1994 was
$442,000 and  $609,000,  respectively.  The $167,000  decrease in net  operating
income  for the 1995  period  compared  to the 1994  period  was the result of a
$233,000  decline in total  income  partially  offset by a $66,000  reduction in
operating  expenses for the 1995 period.  The decline in total income includes a
$246,000 decrease in royalty and licensing income primarily due to the cessation
of royalty payments from Gen-Probe Venture #1, as discussed above. Additionally,
an $84,000  increase  in other  interest  income for the 1995  period was mostly
offset  by a  $71,000  decrease  in  interest  earned  on the  United  AgriSeeds
receivable during the 1995 period. The increase in other interest income for the
1995  period  was due to an  increase  in amounts  invested  in PTI's and higher
short-term  interest  rates during the 1995 period  compared to the 1994 period.
The $67,000  decline in operating  expenses  primarily  resulted  from a $54,000
decline in mailing and printing expenses for the 1995 period due to certain cost
control measures implemented by the Partnership during the 1995 period.

Realized Gains and Losses - The  Partnership  realizes gains and losses from the
sale of its joint venture  interests or  proprietary  technology in R&D Ventures
and from the sale of its equity  securities.  The  Partnership  had no  realized
gains or losses for the three months ended  September  30, 1995.  In March 1995,
the Partnership sold 72,368 shares of Interleaf, Inc. common stock in the public
market  for   $373,000,   realizing  a  loss  of  $222,000,   representing   the
Partnership's realized loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

For the three months ended  September 30, 1994, the  Partnership had no realized
gains or losses.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1994, the Partnership
had a net realized loss of $474,000 resulting from the expiration of warrants to
purchase common stock of Photon Technology International,  Inc. and Bolt Beranek
and Newman, Inc.
