5.     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 commitments for future equity investment fundings, 
venture capital limited partnership investments, 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 March 31, 1997, 
the Partnership had unfunded commitments as follows:

         Condition and Results of Operations

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

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, net cash used by operating 
activities totaled $337,740.  The Partnership paid management fees of 
$96,059 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed related parties 
for operating expenses of $244,674.  In addition, $8,322 was paid to the 
Individual General Partners as compensation for their services.  Other 
operating expenses of $58,697 were paid and $70,012 in interest income 
was received.  

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership funded 
equity investments of $4,560,792 mainly to portfolio companies in the 
medical/biotechnology, computer systems and software, and electronic 
design automation industries.  Proceeds from equity investment sales 
were $7,061,467, of which $58,575 related to sales prior to December 31, 
1996, which have been settled, and cash distributions of $88,055 from 
venture capital limited partnership investments were received.  As of 
March 31, 1997, the Partnership was committed to fund additional 
investments of $402,031 and has outstanding guarantees up to $1,000,000 
as discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1997, were $7,568,241.  Cash 
reserves, interest income on short-term investments, and future proceeds 
from equity investment sales are expected to be adequate to fund 
Partnership operations and future investments through the next twelve 
months.

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

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

Net income was $409,279 and $5,296,870 for the three months ended March 
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The decrease in net income was 
primarily due to a $6,364,604 decrease in the change in net unrealized 
fair value of equity investments, partially offset by a $1,353,213 
increase in net realized gain from sales of equity investments.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the decrease in fair value of 
equity investments of $4,068,940 was substantially attributable to the 
sale of Geoworks common stock, as the gain was realized, and a portfolio 
company in the computer systems and software industry.  During the same 
period in 1996, the increase of $2,295,664 was primarily due to 
portfolio companies in the medical/biotechnology and industrial/business 
automation industries, partially offset by decreases in portfolio 
companies in the computer systems and software industry.

Net realized gains from sales of equity investments were $4,542,700 and 
$3,189,487 for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  
The 1997 gain mainly related to sales of Geoworks, TheraTx, Inc., and 
SyStemix, Inc.  The 1996 gain primarily related to sales of Geoworks.

Total operating expenses were $220,802 and $166,865 for the quarters 
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increase was primarily 
due to higher administrative and investor services expenses from 
increased overall portfolio 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.
