NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
- ----------------------------------------

1.     General
       -------

In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, the accompanying interim 
financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair 
presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash 
flows for the interim periods presented.  These statements should be read 
in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 
December 31, 1997.  Allocation of income and loss to Limited and General 
Partners is based on cumulative income and loss.  Adjustments, if any, are 
reflected in the current quarter balances.

       Extension of Partnership
       ------------------------

In April 1998, the Managing General Partner extended the Partnership's term 
for an additional two-year period to December 31, 2000.

2.  Financing of Partnership Operations
    -----------------------------------

The Managing General Partner expects cash received from the future 
liquidation of Partnership investments and the collection of notes 
receivable will provide the necessary liquidity to fund Partnership 
operations.  The Partnership may be dependent upon the financial support of 
the Managing General Partner to fund operations if future proceeds are not 
received timely.  The Managing General Partner has committed to support the 
Partnership's working capital requirements through short term advances.

3.     Related Party Transactions
       --------------------------

Related party costs are included in costs and expenses shown on the 
Statements of Operations.  Related party costs for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998 and 1997, were as follows:

Reimbursable operating expenses                   196,661       175,808

</TABLE>
Certain reimbursable expenses have been allocated and accrued based upon 
interim estimates prepared by the Managing General Partner and are adjusted 
to actual cost periodically. At June 30, 1998, amounts due to related 
parties for such expenses were $1,500 compared to $52,126 due from related 
parties at December 31, 1997.

4.     Net Realized Income (Loss) Per Unit
       -----------------------------------

Net realized income (loss) per Unit is calculated by dividing total net 
realized income (loss) allocated to the Limited Partners by the average 
number of Units outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 
of 150,570 and 155,221, respectively.

5.     Secured Notes Receivable, Net
       -----------------------------

There were no secured notes receivable activities from January 1 through 
June 30, 1998.

The Partnership's secured notes receivable portfolio was on nonaccrual 
status due to the uncertainty of the financial conditions of certain 
borrowers at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.  The Managing General 
Partner continues to monitor the progress of these companies and intends to 
manage these investments to maximize the Partnership's net realizable 
value.  The fair value at June 30, 1998, recognizes the Managing General 
Partner's estimate of collectibility of these notes.  All notes are secured 
by specific assets of the borrowing company.

- ----------------------------

At June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, marketable equity securities had

fluctuations for publicly-traded portfolio companies.

7.     Other Investment Expenses

</TABLE>

9.     Commitments and contingencies
       -----------------------------

The Partnership is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet 
risk in the normal course of its business.  Generally, these instruments 
are equipment financing commitments or accounts receivable lines of credit 
that are outstanding but not currently fully utilized by a borrowing 
company.  As they do not represent current outstanding balances, these 
unfunded commitments are properly not recognized in the financial 
statements.

In April, 1997, the Partnership together with an affiliated partnership, 
deposited $750,000 into an escrow account as collateral for a $750,000 note 
payable of Ecopave.  At December 31, 1997, the Partnership's share of the 
deposit was $247,500.  In June 1998, certain assets of CLB, LLC, a 
portfolio company, were pledged as collateral for the Ecopave note payable, 
resulting in the release of the Partnership's escrowed funds.  The 
Partnership, however, remains a guarantor for the note payable.

In December 1997, the Partnership together with an affiliated Partnership, 
guaranteed $50,000 of equipment financing for a portfolio company by 
depositing $50,000 in an escrow account with the lending institution.  The 
Partnership funded $16,500 of this deposit.  If the portfolio company fails 
to repay the line of credit, the Partnership may forego the escrowed funds.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, net cash used by operating 
activities totaled $287,126.  The Partnership paid $204,370 to related 
parties.  Other operating expenses of $90,961 were paid, and interest 
income of $8,205 was received.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership funded $447,746 
in equity investments to a portfolio company in the industrial and business 
automation industry.

Cash and restricted cash at June 30, 1998, were $199,058.  Future 
distributions will be dependent upon loan repayments from borrowing 
companies, future proceeds from equity investment sales, and available 
cash.  Operating cash reserves, proceeds from sales of equity investments, 
repayments of secured notes receivable, and the Managing General Partner's 
support are expected to be sufficient to fund Partnership operations 
through the next twelve months.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Current quarter compared to corresponding quarter in the preceding year
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Net losses were $366,911 and $80,852 for the three months ended June 30, 
1998 and 1997, respectively.  The increase in net loss was primarily a 
result of a $304,495 decrease in the change in net unrealized fair value of 
investments and a $14,658 decrease in interest and other income, partially 
offset by a $41,600 decrease in other investment expenses.

The $224,520 decrease in net unrealized fair value of investments during 
the quarter ended June 30, 1998, was primarily due to decreases in the 
microelectronics industry.  In the corresponding quarter of 1997, the 
$79,975 increase in investment fair value was primarily due to increases in 
the microelectronics industry.

Interest and other income was $4,772 and $19,430 during the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The decrease was mostly 
attributable to lower cash and cash equivalent balances in 1998.

Other investment expenses, primarily legal fees, for the quarter ended June 
30, 1997 were $41,600.  There were no such expenses in 1998.  The decrease 
was due to the settlement of the related litigation.

Total operating expenses were $117,544 and $105,900 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The increase is attributable 
to increased investment monitoring activities and administrative costs.

Given the inherent risk associated with the business of the Partnership, 
the future performance of the portfolio company investments may 
significantly impact future operations.

Current six months compared to corresponding six months in the preceding 
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
year
- ----

Net losses were $648,279 and $330,106 for the six months ended June 30, 
1998 and 1997, respectively.  The increase in net loss was substantially 
due to a $424,447 decrease in the change in net unrealized fair value of 
investments and a $76,516 decrease in interest and other income, partially 
offset by a $190,431 decrease in other investment expenses.

The $358,860 decrease in net unrealized fair value of equity investments 
during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was primarily due to decreases in 
the microelectronics industry.  In the corresponding period of 1997, the 
increase in equity investment fair value of $80,587 primarily related to 
increases in portfolio companies in the microelectronics industry. 

Interest and other income was $8,205 and $84,721 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The decrease is due to lower cash 
and cash equivalent balances and loans on nonaccrual status.

Other investment expenses were $190,431 for the six months ended June 30, 
1997.  There were no such expenses in 1998.  The decrease was due to the 
settlement of the related litigation.

Total operating expenses were $236,289 and $228,420 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
