                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Vipont Royalty
Income Fund, Ltd. (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
occurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  These financial statement should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
1994, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Partnership's
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 (the "Partnership Documents") to share in certain royalties and/or
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, will be entitled to participate in royalties and/or
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 a NDA for the same.

         The Proposal as approved, allows the General Partner to share in
royalties and/or proceeds from the sale of rights related to the Perio
Product-Sanguinarine and the Partnership to share in royalties and/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.

               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 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 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.

         The Partnership is required to pay the General Partner $12,000
annually for management fees.  The Partnership owed the General Partner
$138,000 at March 31, 1995 for fees and expenses incurred on behalf of the
Partnership.

         There were no research expenses in the three months ended March 31,
1995 and March 31, 1994. All funds for research were exhausted prior to the
current period.

         General and administrative expenses decreased to $6,320 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, from $11,541 during the three months ended March
31, 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 was related to lower expenditures for accounting and legal fees in
the current year as fewer administrative activities were required.

         Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1995, was $6,320
compared with $11,541 for the three months ended March 31, 1994.  The net loss
was the result of the Partnership's normal administration expenses related to
being a public partnership.  The decrease was related to lower expenditures for
accounting and legal fees in the current period as fewer administrative
activities were required.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At March 31, 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.  The
Partnership and the General Partner will share the royalties and/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 fiscal 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
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.
