In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, the Balance Sheets as of 
June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, and the related Statements of 
Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, 
and Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 
1995, 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, 
1995.  The following notes to financial statements for activity through 
June 30, 1996, 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.  Certain 1995 balances have been 
reclassified to conform with the 1996 financial statement presentation.

2.     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

Reimbursable operating expenses                138,774     130,090

</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, 1996, and December 
31, 1995, amounts due to related parties totaled $4,247 and $420,507, 
respectively.

Within the normal course of business, the Partnership participates with 
affiliated partnerships in secured notes receivable issued to 
nonaffiliated borrowing companies.  The Partnership may also 
reparticipate such secured notes receivable amongst affiliated 
partnerships to meet business needs.  At December 31, 1995, the amount 
due from affiliated partnerships was $3,977 (included in other assets).  
This amount was received from such affiliated partnerships in the 
following quarter.

3.     Net Realized Loss Per Unit
       --------------------------

Net realized loss per Unit is calculated by dividing total net realized 
loss allocated to the Limited Partners by the weighted average number of 
Limited Partner Units outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 1996 
and 1995, of 111,101 and 115,501, respectively.

Marketable Equity Securities
- ----------------------------

At June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, marketable equity securities had 
aggregate costs of $101,591 and $78,845, respectively, and aggregate 
market values of $254,514 and $145,132, respectively.  The unrealized 
gains at June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, did not include any gross 
losses.

Celeritek, Inc.
- ---------------

The Partnership recorded an increase in fair value of $51,261 to reflect 
the unrestricted market price at June 30, 1996. 

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

During the second quarter of 1996, the Partnership received a stock 
dividend of 6,297 Series D Preferred shares.  Subsequently, the Managing 
General Partner determined that the fair value of the Partnership's 
investment has declined and accordingly, the Partnership recorded a 
$127,607 decrease in fair value at June 30, 1996.

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

The Partnership recorded a total increase in fair value of $162,492 for 
its warrant and common stock investment, based on the valuation set at 
the most recent round of financing in which third parties participated.

Hybridon, Inc.
- --------------

In January of 1996, Hybridon, Inc., completed its initial public 
offering.  The Partnership exercised its warrant holdings without cash 
and received 2,532 shares of common stock, which were subsequently sold 
for total proceeds of $22,549.  The total and realized gain from these 
transactions was $21,299.

S-TRON
- ------

The company was unsuccessful in its efforts to obtain a major government 
contract; as a result, company operations ceased during March of 1996.  
This investment, which had previously been written off, is no longer held 
by the Partnership.

Other Equity Investments
- ------------------------

In May of 1996, the Partnership sold 6,773 Photon Dynamics common shares 
borrowed from an outside brokerage firm and subsequently closed its open 
position with purchases on the open market.  These transactions resulted 
in a realized gain of $8,890 and the Partnership maximized its gain based 
upon an evaluation of the prevailing market conditions.

The Partnership had no accrued interest at June 30, 1996, and December 
31, 1995.

Activity in the allowance for loan losses was as follows:

                                                      =======
</TABLE>

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.

Secured notes receivable of $741,412 and $832,586 were on nonaccrual 
status due to uncertainty of certain borrowers' financial conditions at 
June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, respectively.  The Managing General 
Partner continues to monitor the progress of these companies.  The fair 
value at June 30, 1996, reflected the Managing General Partner's estimate 
of collectibility of these notes.

During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership received approximately 
$41,000 from a portfolio company in the medical industry to pay off its 
principal balance.  In addition, the Partnership was reimbursed $28,900 
for legal, consulting, and other costs incurred in prior periods in the 
defense of the Partnership's secured note rights through bankruptcy 
court.  The reimbursement was recorded as a reduction to lending 
operations and investment management expense.

All notes are secured by specific assets of the borrowing company.  The 
interest rate on notes issued during the six months ended June 30, 1996, 
ranged from 12% to 14%.

6.     Cash and Cash Equivalents

</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.  At June 30, 1996, the Partnership had unfunded 
commitments of $4,500 related to term note financings to an existing 
borrowing company.

In June of 1996, a lawsuit was filed by a third party in the Los Angeles 
County Superior Court against an affiliated partnership, the Managing 
General Partner and certain of its officers, and Cyclean, Inc., a 
portfolio company in the industrial/business automation industry.  The 
Partnership participated in investments to the portfolio company with the 
affiliated partnership.  The third party has asserted claims for 
interference with contractual relations against the defendants.  The 
plaintiff further alleges that the affiliated partnership agreed to 
purchase its interest in an entity partially owned by the plaintiff and 
seeks unspecified damages against the affiliated partnership and its 
affiliates.  The Managing General Partner believes that the affiliated 
partnership has adequate defenses and intends to pursue this matter 
vigorously.  The Managing General Partner believes the outcome will not 
have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial position at 
June 30, 1996.

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, 1996, net cash used by operating 
activities totaled $562,002.  The Partnership paid management fees of 
$14,224 to the Managing General Partner, reimbursed related parties for 
operating expenses of $555,034, and received $3,977 from affiliated 
partnerships for net loan participations.  Other operating expenses of 
$42,671 were paid and interest income of $17,050 was received.  In 
addition, the Partnership received a collection expense reimbursement of 
$28,900 from a portfolio company.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the partnership issued $50,902 
in secured notes receivable mostly to portfolio companies in the 
computers and computer equipment industry.  Repayments of notes 
receivable provided cash of $142,076 and proceeds from investment sales 
totaled $31,439.  As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership was committed to 
fund $4,500 related to term note financings to an existing borrowing 
company.

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 June 30, 1996, 
requests to repurchase approximately 1,300 Units had been received.  The 
amount to be offered for the Unit repurchases will be determined in the 
following quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1996, were $502,596.  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 $310,585 and $308,457 for the three months ended June 30, 
1996 and 1995, respectively.  The slight change was substantially due to 
decreases of $2,581,159 and $189,000 in net unrealized fair value of 
equity investments and secured notes receivable, respectively. These 
changes were mostly offset by a $2,953,247 decrease in realized losses 
from investment write-downs.
 
During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the $68,883 increase in fair 
value of equity investments was primarily due to increases in medical and 
microelectronics industries, partially offset by decreases in 
industrial/business automation industry. In 1995, the $2,650,042 increase 
was primarily due to the write-downs of $2,958,247, mostly related to 
portfolio companies in the medical and retail/consumer product industries 
as these investments had been reflected with fair values less than cost. 

The Partnership recorded decreases in fair values of secured notes 
receivable of $269,000 and $80,000 for the three months ended June 30, 
1996 and 1995, respectively, based upon the level of loan loss reserves 
deemed adequate by the Managing General Partner at the respective quarter 
ends. 

There were no recoveries recorded in 1996. During the three months ended 
June 30, 1995, the recovery of $58,575 related to a portfolio company in 
the computers and computer equipment industry.  
 
Secured notes receivable interest income totaled $758 in 1996, compared 
to $54,024 in 1995.  The 1995 amount included nonrecurring warrant income 
of $45,000 from the Integrated Network Corporation warrant redemption.  
Secured notes receivable interest income in 1995 would have been $9,024 
without such income.  The decrease was primarily due to lower interest-
bearing notes receivable balances.

Total operating expenses were $120,069 and $89,199 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase was mostly 
attributable to allocated overhead costs in 1996 as permitted by the 
Partnership Agreement.

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

Net losses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, were $247,063 
and $285,043, respectively.  The decrease in net loss was primarily 
attributable to a $2,953,247 decrease in realized losses from investment 
write-downs, mostly offset by a $2,438,369 decrease in the change in net 
unrealized fair value of equity investments, a $288,008 decrease in net 
realized gain from sales of equity investments, and a $90,000 decrease in 
the change in net unrealized fair value of secured notes receivable.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the $79,920 increase in fair 
value of equity investment was primarily due to increases in medical and 
microelectronics industries, partially offset by decreases in 
industrial/business automation industry. In 1995, the $2,518,289 increase 
was primarily due to the write-downs of $2,958,247, mostly related to 
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 six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership realized a 
gain of $30,189 primarily related to the sale of Hybridon Inc., and the 
closed Photon Dynamics short sale.  In 1995, the realized gain of 
$318,197 primarily related to the sale of IKOS Systems, Inc., and the 
non-cash exercise of Primary Access Corporation warrants.

The Partnership recorded a decrease in the fair value of secured notes 
receivable of $191,000 and $101,000 for the six months ended June 30, 
1996 and 1995, respectively, based upon the level of loan loss reserves 
deemed adequate by the Managing General Partner at the respective quarter 
ends.

In 1996, secured notes receivable interest income was $2,725, compared to 
$71,292 in 1995, which included nonrecurring warrant income of $45,000 as 
discussed in the above section.  The 1995 secured notes receivable 
interest income would have been $26,292 without such income. The decrease 
was primarily due to lower interest-bearing notes receivable balances.

Total operating expenses were $163,998 and $188,969 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  As explained in Note 5 to 
the financial statements, the 1996 operating expenses were reduced by a 
$28,900 reimbursement of prior period collection expenses from a 
portfolio company in the medical industry.  Had the reimbursement not 
been received, total operating expenses in 1995 would have been $192,898.
