NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
- ----------------------------------------
1. General
-------
In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, the Balance Sheets as of
March 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, and the related Statements of
Operations and Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows for such periods. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The following notes to financial statements for activity through March 31,
1999, supplement those included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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.
2. Related Party Transactions
--------------------------
Related party costs are included in costs and expenses shown on the
Statements of Operations. Related party costs for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998, were as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998
-------- --------
<S> <C> <C>
Management fees $ 29,019 31,716
Reimbursable operating expenses 48,300 109,386
</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 March 31, 1999, $2,169 was due from related
parties for such expenses. At December 31, 1998, $1,645 was due to related
parties for such expenses.
Amounts payable for management fees were $20,586 and $10,033 at March 31,
1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
3. 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 three months ended March 31, 1999 and
1998 of 150,570.
4. Notes Receivable, Net

In 1998, the company entered into an agreement to sell the majority of its
assets to the management of one of its subsidiaries. The Partnership has
valued its secured notes receivable investment in the company at its
expected share of the proceeds from this sale. In February 1999, the
Partnership received $678,037 of these proceeds. The fair market value of
the remaining proceeds at March 31, 1999 was $1,854,636.
5. Equity Investments
------------------
A complete listing of the Partnership's equity investments at December 31,

</TABLE>
7. 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. The Partnership had no unfunded commitments for equity
investments as of March 31, 1999.
The Partnership, together with an affiliated partnership, is a guarantor
for a note payable of a portfolio company. The Partnership's share of the
guarantee is $247,500.
In December 1997, the Partnership together with an affiliated Partnership,
guaranteed 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 three months ended March 31, 1999, net cash used by operating
activities totaled $178,805. The Partnership paid management fees of
$18,466 to the Managing General Partner and reimbursed related parties for
operating expenses of $52,114. Other operating expenses of $108,410 were
paid, and interest income of $185 was received.
During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership received
$678,037 in secured notes receivable repayments.
Cash and restricted cash at March 31, 1999, were $544,568. Future
distributions will be dependent upon loan repayments from borrowing
companies, future proceeds from equity investment sales, and available
cash. Operating cash reserves combined with proceeds from the sale of
investments, interest income received from short-term investments, and
repayments of secured notes receivable 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 $173,929 and $281,369 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in net loss was primarily a
result of a $134,341 increase in the change in net unrealized fair value of
investments, partially offset by a $20,378 increase in operating expenses.
The $134,341 decrease in net unrealized fair value of investments during
the quarter ended March 31, 1998, was primarily due to decreases in the
microelectronics industry.
Total operating expenses were $145,095 and $124,717 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase is primarily
attributable to increased investment monitoring activities resulting from
notes receivable collection activities.
Given the inherent risk associated with the business of the Partnership,
the future performance of the portfolio company investments may
significantly impact future operations.
YEAR 2000
- ---------
Widespread use of computer programs that use two digits rather than four to
store, calculate, and display year values in dates may cause computer
systems to malfunction in the year 2000, resulting in significant business
delays and disruptions.
The Partnership's State of Readiness
- ------------------------------------
Computer services are provided to the Partnership by its Managing General
Partner, Technology Funding Inc. ("TFI".) For several years, TFI has
sought to use Year 2000 compliant storage formats and algorithms in its
internally-developed and maintained systems. TFI has also completed
initial evaluations of computer systems, software, and embedded
technologies. Those evaluations confirmed that certain components of its
network server hardware and operating systems, voice mail system, e-mail
system, and accounting software may have Year 2000 compliance issues.
These resources and several less-critical components of the systems
environment were all scheduled as part of normal maintenance and
replacement cycles to be replaced or upgraded as Year 2000 compatible
components became available from vendors during 1998 and 1999. That
program remains on schedule to provide Year 2000 capable systems timely
without significant expenditures or disruption of Partnership operations.
However, the risk remains that TFI may not be able to verify whether Year
2000 compatibility claims by vendors are accurate, or whether changes
undertaken to achieve Year 2000 compatibility will create other undetected
problems in associated systems. Therefore, TFI anticipates that Year 2000
compliance testing and maintenance of these systems will continue as needed
into the first quarter of 2000.
As part of Year 2000 evaluation, TFI has also assembled a database listing
its significant suppliers to assess the extent to which it needs to prepare
for any of those parties' potential failure to remediate their Year 2000
compliance issues. TFI is reviewing public Year 2000 statements of those
suppliers and preparing questionnaires to be sent to mission-critical
vendors whose public statements were not adequate for assessment. TFI will
continue to monitor its significant suppliers as part of its Year 2000
evaluation. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which TFI relies will be timely converted, or that failure to
convert will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership and its
operations. TFI is also working with the Partnership's portfolio companies
to determine the extent to which their operations are vulnerable to Year
2000 issues. There can be no guarantee that the systems of portfolio
companies in which the Partnership has invested will be timely converted,
or that their failure to convert will not have a material adverse effect on
the Partnership.
The Cost to Address Year 2000 Issues
- ------------------------------------
Expenditures in 1999 to date related to Year 2000 issues were not material
to the Partnership's financial statements. TFI expects that additional
expenditures for Year 2000 compliance will not be material to the
Partnership.
The Risks Associated with Year 2000 Issues
- ------------------------------------------
Any failure by the portfolio companies in which the Partnership has
invested, or by those portfolio companies' key suppliers or customers, to
anticipate and avoid Year 2000 related problems at reasonable cost could
have a material adverse effect on the value of and/or the timing of
realization of value from the Partnership's investments. If Year 2000
compliance issues are not resolved by December 31, 1999, internal system
failures or miscalculations could cause a temporary inability to process
transactions, loss of ability to send or receive e-mail and voice mail
messages, or disruptions in other normal business activities.
Additionally, failure of third parties on whom TFI relies to remediate
their Year 2000 issues timely could result in disruptions in the
Partnership's relationship with its financial institutions, temporary
disruptions in processing transactions, unanticipated costs, and problems
related to the Partnership's daily operations. While TFI continues to
address its internal Year 2000 issues, until TFI receives and evaluates
responses from a significant number of its suppliers, the overall risks
associated with the Year 2000 issue remain difficult to describe and
quantify. There can be no guarantee that the Year 2000 issue will not have
a material adverse effect on the Partnership and its operations.
TFI's Contingency Plan
- ----------------------
As part of its normal efforts to assure business continuation in the event
of natural disasters, systems failures, or other disruptions, TFI has
prepared contingency plans including an extensive Year 2000 contingency
plan. Taken together with TFI's Year 2000 remediation plan, it identifies
potential points of failure, approaches to correcting known Year 2000
problems, dates by which the preferred corrections are anticipated to be
made and tested, and alternative approaches if the corrections are not
completed timely or are later found to be inadequate. Although backup
systems and contingency approaches have been identified for most mission-
critical systems and vendor dependencies, there remain some systems for
which no good alternative exists, and there may be some problems that prove
more intractable than currently anticipated.
