NOTE 2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    A Special Meeting of the limited partners of the Partnership was held on
October 14, 1992, to consider a proposal (the "Proposal") to authorize Atrix
Laboratories, Inc., the general partner of the Partnership (the "General
Partner"), to amend various documents between the Partnership and the General
Partner to permit the General Partner to share in certain royalties and
proceeds from the sale of rights related to a Perio Product.  The Proposal was
approved by the limited partners at the Special Meeting held on October 14,
1992.

    Prior to the amendment of the Partnership Documents, the General Partner
was not entitled to participate in royalties from the sale of the Perio
Product-Sanguinarine, other than from its General Partner's Interest in the
Partnership.  As a result of the approval of the Proposal, and in consideration
for its funding of clarifying studies, the Phase III clinical studies and a New
Drug Application ("NDA") filing, if any, Atrix Laboratories, Inc., as General
Partner of the Partnership, is entitled to participate in royalties and
proceeds from the sale of rights related to a Perio Product containing
sanguinarine.  Further, the Partnership will not be required to pay any of the
future costs for the development of a Perio Product containing sanguinarine, a
Perio Product containing doxycycline, or a Perio Product without an active
agent, or for filing for regulatory approval, including an NDA for the same.

    The Proposal as approved, allows the General Partner to share in royalties
or proceeds from the sale of rights related to the Perio Product-Sanguinarine
and the Partnership to share in royalties or proceeds from the sale of rights
related to the Perio Product with or without an active agent, on a percentage
basis representing the ratio of the total costs, including but not limited to
all costs for testing, development and securing regulatory approval, if ever,
of the Perio Product with or without an active agent to the amount that each
party has contributed.  In determining the Partnership's contribution, the
General Partner will credit the Partnership with $10,350,000, the gross amount
raised in the Partnership's initial public offering of Units.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994


    The Partnership has ongoing general and administrative expenses related to
its status as a public partnership; for example, annual reports on Form 10-K
and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.  Further, the Partnership is required to
prepare tax returns and provide certain communications to the limited partners.
It is estimated that the cost of preparing, filing, and mailing the various
reports, including an annual audit, will be approximately $30,000 for the year
ending December 31, 1995.  The General Partner has agreed to advance funds to
the Partnership to pay these expenses for the year ending December 31, 1995,
pursuant to Article 4 of the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership.  Such  advances will only be due and payable, if ever,
from the Partnership's share of royalties and proceeds from the sale of rights
to the Perio Product.

    The Partnership is required to pay the General Partner $12,000 annually for
management fees.  The Partnership owed the General Partner $148,000 at June 30,
1995 for fees and expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO
  THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

    General and administrative expenses increased to $10,204 for the three
months ended June 30, 1995, from $6,606 during the three months ended June 30,
1994.  These expenses included the General Partner's management fee of $1,000
per month and out-of-pocket administrative expenses of the Partnership
including accounting and legal fees associated with being a public partnership.

    Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1995, was $10,204 compared
with $6,606 for the three months ended June 30, 1994.  The net loss is the
result of the Partnership's normal administration expenses related to being a
public partnership.  The increase is related to higher expenditures for
accounting and legal fees in the current period as more administrative
activities were completed.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO
  SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

    General and administrative expenses decreased to $16,524 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, from $18,147 during the six months ended June 30, 1994.
These expenses included the General Partner's management fee of $1,000 per
month and out-of-pocket administrative expenses of the Partnership including
accounting and legal fees associated with being a public partnership.  The
decrease is related to fewer expenditures for accounting and legal fees in the
current period as fewer administrative activities were necessary.

    Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1995, was $16,524 compared with
$18,147 for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The net loss is the result of
the Partnership's normal administration expenses related to being a public
partnership.

               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At June 30, 1995, the Partnership had no cash or short-term investments.
The funding provided to the General Partner by the Partnership to develop and
test the Perio Product-Sanguinarine was exhausted prior to September 30, 1991.
The Partnership Documents were amended at a Special Meeting held on October 14,
1992, to allow the Partnership and the General Partner to share in royalties or
proceeds from the sale of rights related to the Perio Product.  The Partnership
and the General Partner will share the royalties or proceeds related to the
Perio Product on a percentage basis, representing the ratio of the total costs,
including but not limited to all costs for testing, development, and securing
regulatory approval, if ever.  Therefore, the Partnership is not required to
repay the General Partner funds previously advanced.

    However, the Partnership has ongoing general and administrative expenses
related to its status as a public partnership; for example, annual reports on
Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.  Further, the Partnership is
required to prepare tax returns and provide certain communications to the
limited partners.  It is estimated that the cost of preparing, filing, and
mailing the various reports, including an annual audit, will be approximately
$30,000 for the year ending December 31, 1995.  The General Partner has agreed
to advance funds to the Partnership to pay these expenses for the year ending
December 31, 1995, pursuant to Article 4 of the Partnership's Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership.  Such  advances will only be due and
payable, if ever, from the Partnership's share of royalties and/or proceeds
from the sale of rights to the Perio Product.
