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

1.     General
       -------

In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, the Balance Sheets as of 
September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 and the related Statement of 
Partners' Capital for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, 
Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 
30, 1995 and 1994, and Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, 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, 1994.  The following notes to financial statements 
for activity through September 30, 1995 supplement those included in the 
Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Certain 1994 balances have been 
reclassified to conform with the 1995 financial statement presentation.  
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.

Withdrawal of Capital
- ---------------------

Each June, beginning June 1987, Limited Partners may tender their Units 
for repurchase by the Partnership.  The amount available in any year to 
repurchase tendered Units is limited to 10% of the aggregate principal 
repayments received by the Partnership during the preceding calendar 
year on notes to borrowing companies.  The price paid for any Units 
tendered is subject to the restrictions stated in the Partnership 
Agreement.  As of September 30, 1995, 304 Units were repurchased for 
$5,472 with an accrual of $3,636 for the remaining 202 Units to be 
repurchased.

Special Withdrawal Option
- -------------------------

Subsequent to quarter end, the General Partners elected to offer Limited 
Partners with an initial investment of $2,000 held in an Individual 
Retirement or Keogh Account the option to tender their Units for 
repurchase by the Partnership.  This election is being made as annual 
account maintenance fees may be greater than the current value of the 
investment.  The price to be paid for the Units tendered under this 
offer is subject to the restrictions stated in the Partnership Agreement 
and will be determined at a later date.  Such withdrawals should be 
completed before year end and are not expected to materially affect the 
Partnership assets.

2.     Related Party Transactions
       --------------------------

Related party costs are included in costs and expenses shown on the 
Statements of Operations.  Related party costs for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

<TABLE>

<S>                                           <C>          <C>

                                                ----         ----

Management fees                               $ 31,116      59,961

Reimbursable operating expenses                176,643     308,525

</TABLE>

Certain reimbursable expenses have been allocated and accrued based upon 
interim estimates prepared by the Managing General Partner, and are 
adjusted to actual costs periodically.  At September 30, 1995, due from 
related parties totaled $123 compared to due to related parties of 
$1,136 at December 31, 1994 which related to reimbursable operating 
expenses.  These amounts were received or paid in the respective 
subsequent quarters.

Within the normal course of business, the Partnership participates with 
affiliated partnerships in secured notes receivable granted to 
nonaffiliated borrowing companies.  The Partnership may also 
reparticipate such secured notes receivable amongst affiliated 
partnerships to meet business needs.  At September 30, 1995, due to 
affiliated partnerships was $426 (included in "due to related parties"), 
compared to due from affiliated partnerships of $1,300 (included in 
"other assets") at December 31, 1994.  These amounts were paid to or 
received from such affiliated partnerships in the following respective 
quarters.

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 weighted 
average number of Limited Partner Units outstanding for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 of 115,445 and 116,008, respectively.

4.     Equity Investments
       ------------------

unrealized gains at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 included 
gross gains of $15,231 and $150,206, respectively.

Censtor Corporation
- -------------------

In May 1995, the Partnership exercised its warrant without cash and 
received 21,178 common shares.  The recorded common share cost basis was 
$11,179, which is net of a realized loss.

Cyclean, Inc./Cyclean of Los Angeles, LLC
- -----------------------------------------

In January 1995, the Partnership obtained the right to receive 26,195 
Series D Preferred shares with a twelve month vesting schedule in 
exchange for a one year maturity date extension of secured notes 
receivable.  At September 30, 1995, 19,646 shares were fully vested with 
a recorded cost basis and fair value of $54,812.

In March 1995, Cyclean, Inc. ("Cyclean") formed Cyclean of Los Angeles, 
LLC ("Cyclean LLC") and contributed certain assets and contracts to the 
new entity.  Cyclean LLC is completing a new round of financing through 
the offering of Class A LLC Units.  As a result of the transaction, one 
of the Partnership's secured notes receivable was transferred from 
Cyclean to Cyclean LLC with modified terms; Cyclean has guaranteed note 
repayments.  The Partnership received a participated percentage of one 
Class A LLC Unit in exchange for certain interest payments and late 
charges totaling $2,816.  The Partnership is also entitled to royalty 
payments and additional Series D Preferred shares based on the total 
proceeds raised from the Cyclean LLC offering, which is expected to be 
completed by late 1995.

Hemocleanse, Inc.
- -----------------

In March 1995, the Partnership exercised its warrant without cash and 
received 20,999 common shares, resulting in a cost basis and realized 
gain of $19,320.

IKOS Systems, Inc.
- ------------------

In January 1995, the Partnership sold all of its holdings in the company 
for total proceeds of $254,295 and a realized gain of $230,682.

Integrated Network Corporation
- ------------------------------

During June 1995, the Partnership exercised its option to sell half of 
its warrant holdings to the company for $50,000 and realized warrant 
income of $45,000, which was included in "secured note receivable 
interest income" on the Statements of Operations.  The Partnership does 
not have this option for its remaining warrant.

Pinnacle Systems, Inc.
- ----------------------

In February 1995, the Partnership exercised its warrant without cash and 
received 1,970 common shares.  The recorded cost basis of $13,244 
included a realized gain of $10,744 and a warrant cost basis of $2,500.  
In May 1995, the Partnership sold the common shares for total proceeds 
of $37,429 and realized a gain of $24,185.

Primary Access Corporation/3Com Corporation
- -------------------------------------------

In June 1995, Primary Access Corporation ("Primary Access") was acquired 
by 3Com Corporation ("3Com"), a public company.  Immediately prior to 
the acquisition, the Partnership exercised its Primary Access common 
warrant holdings without cash and received 12,686 shares of Primary 
Access common stock with a cost basis of $46,116, which reflects a 
realized gain of $40,616 and a warrant cost basis of $5,500.  Upon the 
acquisition, these shares were then exchanged for 4,236 3Com common 
shares, of which 3,812 shares were sold for total proceeds of $262,606 
and a realized gain of $221,102 in July 1995.  The remaining 424 shares 
are held in an escrow account until March 21, 1996 to indemnify 3Com for 
any loss it may incur as a result of any contractual breach of the 
merger agreement by Primary Access.  The Partnership recorded an 
increase in the change in fair value of $14,831 to reflect the above 
transactions and the market value at September 30, 1995.

Resonex Holding Corporation
- ----------------------------

Resonex Holding Corporation has licensed certain technologies and is 
currently obtaining additional bids from other potential licensees.  The 
company will wind down its operations by year end.  Based on the opinion 
of the Managing General Partner, there has been a decline in 
Partnership's investment value and accordingly, the common stock cost 
basis of $1,682,507 was written off.

S-Tron
- ------

The company was unsuccessful in its recent efforts to obtain a major 
government contract; as a result, operations will likely cease by year 
end.  Based on the Managing General Partner's opinion, the fair value of 
the Partnership's investment has declined.  Accordingly, the Partnership 
has written off the cost basis of its Preferred stock investment of 
$880,740 and recorded a write-down of $392,015 on its subordinated note 
investment.

The allowance for loan losses is adjusted quarterly based upon changes 
to the portfolio size and risk profile.  Although the allowance is 
established by evaluating individual debtor repayment ability, the 
allowance represents the Managing General Partner's assessment of the 
portfolio as a whole.

Notes aggregating $991,450 and $782,274 were on nonaccrual status due to 
uncertainties in the financial condition of borrowing companies at 
September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  The Managing 
General Partner continues to monitor the progress of companies with 
nonaccrual notes.  The fair value at September 30, 1995 reflected the 
Managing General Partner's estimate of collectibility of these notes.

All notes are secured by specific assets of the borrowing company.  The 
interest rates on notes issued during the nine months ended September 
30, 1995 ranged from 10% to 14%.

7.     Commitments
       -----------

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.  At September 30, 1995, the Partnership had 
unfunded commitments of $50,500 related to bridge and term note 
financings.

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

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net cash used by 
operating activities totaled $150,791.  The Partnership paid management 
fees of $31,116 to the Managing General Partner, reimbursed related 
parties for operating expenses of $177,902, and received $1,300 from 
affiliated partnerships for net loan participations.  In addition, other 
operating expenses of $61,421 were paid.  Interest received from secured 
notes receivable and short-term investments totaled $118,348.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership issued 
$178,500 in secured notes receivable to portfolio companies in the 
computers and computer equipment, and retail/consumer products 
industries.  Repayments of notes receivable provided cash of $202,150 
and proceeds from investment sales totaled $554,330.  The Partnership 
also received $58,575 from investment recoveries.  As of September 30, 
1995, the Partnership was committed to fund $50,500 related to bridge 
and term note financings to existing borrowing companies.

All management fees which are due have been paid through September 30, 
1995.  Management fees are paid to the extent that the aggregate amount 
of all proceeds (including those from warrants exercised without cash) 
received by the Partnership from the sale or other disposition of 
borrowing company equities, plus the aggregate fair market value of any 
equity securities distributed to the partners, exceeded the total 
management fee paid.

Each June, Limited Partners may tender their Units for repurchase by the 
Partnership.  The price paid for any Units tendered is subject to the 
restrictions stated in the Partnership Agreement.  As of September 30, 
1995, $5,472 was paid for 304 Units repurchased by the Partnership, with 
an accrual of $3,636 for an additional 202 Units to be repurchased.  
Also, as disclosed in Note 1, a special withdrawal option was extended 
to Limited Partners which should not materially affect Partnership 
assets.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1995 were $1,013,976.  
Distributions will fluctuate in the future based upon loan payoffs 
received and expected cash needed by the Partnership.  Operating cash 
reserves combined with interest income received on short-term 
investments, proceeds from investment sales, 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 $56,137 and $1,545,154 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The change was primarily due 
to a $1,045,065 increase in the change in net unrealized fair value of 
equity investments, a $224,470 increase in net realized gain from sales 
of equity investments, and a $133,000 increase in the change in net 
unrealized fair value of secured notes receivable.

During the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the $222,507 decrease in 
the fair value of equity investments was primarily due to sales of 3Com 
Corporation as gains were realized.  In 1994, the decrease of $1,267,572 
was primarily due to a portfolio company in the medical industry.

During the three months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership 
recorded a net realized gain of $221,102 related to the sale of 3Com 
Corporation.  In 1994, a net realized loss of $3,368 was recorded.

The Partnership recorded an increase in the fair value of secured notes 
receivable of $26,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, compared 
to a decrease of $107,000 for the same period in 1994, based upon the 
level of loan loss reserves deemed adequate by the Managing General 
Partner at the respective quarter ends.

A realized loss from investment write-downs of $5,000 was recorded 
during the third quarter of 1995.  The loss of $46,271 recorded in the 
same period in 1994 mostly related a portfolio company in the 
industrial/business automation industry.

Total operating expenses were $80,553 and $115,485 for the three months 
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decrease was 
primarily attributable to lower lending operations and investment 
management, and administrative and investor services expenses from lower 
overall portfolio activity.

Given the inherent risk associated with the business of the Partnership, 
the future performance of the borrowing companies may significantly 
impact the Partnership's future operations. 

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

Net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were 
$341,180 and $1,991,458, respectively.  The decrease in net loss was 
primarily attributable to a $4,280,649 increase in the change in net 
unrealized fair value of equity investments, partially offset by a 
$2,442,097 increase in the realized losses from investment write-downs 
and a $559,000 decrease in the change in the net unrealized fair value 
of secured notes receivable.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the increase in net 
unrealized fair value of equity investments of $2,295,782 was due to the 
write-down of portfolio companies in the medical and retail/consumer 
product industries as these investments had been reflected with a fair 
value less than cost.  During the same period in 1994, the decrease of 
$1,984,867 was primarily due to the conversion of notes receivable to 
equity investments at fair values lower than cost for a portfolio 
company in the medical industry. 

Realized losses from investment write-downs were $2,963,247 and $521,150 
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  
Realized losses in 1995 primarily related to equity investments in 
portfolio companies in the medical and retail/consumer industries.  
Realized losses in 1994 primarily related to an equity investment in a 
portfolio company in the medical industry.

The Partnership recorded a decrease in the fair value of secured notes 
receivable of $75,000 in 1995, compared to an increase of $484,000 in 
1994, based upon the levels of loan loss reserves deemed adequate by the 
Managing General Partner at the respective quarter ends.  The 1994 
increase primarily related to the conversion of notes receivable to 
equity investments as discussed above.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership 
recorded a net realized gain of $539,299 mainly from the sale of equity 
investments in IKOS Systems, Inc. and 3Com Corporation.  The $355,000 
net realized gain recorded in 1994 was mainly from the sale of equity 
investments in Micro Decisionware, Inc.

Total operating expenses were $269,522 and $444,883 for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decrease was 
primarily due to lower lending operations and investment management 
expenses, and administrative and investor services expenses from reduced 
overall portfolio activities.
