WESTMED VENTURE PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.  Organization and Purpose

WestMed Venture Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed under Delaware law
on February  5, 1987.  The  Partnership  has elected to be treated as a business
development  company under the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The
Partnership  operates as a closed-end  partnership  and accordingly its units of
limited partnership interest ("Units") are not redeemable by the Partnership.  A
total of 66,929 Units were sold to Limited Partners at $500 per Unit.

The  general  partners  of  the  Partnership   include  three  individuals  (the
"Independent  General  Partners")  and the  managing  general  partner,  WestMed
Venture  Management,  L.P. (the "Managing General Partner" and collectively with
the Independent General Partners,  the "General  Partners"),  a Delaware limited
partnership.  The general  partner of the  Managing  General  Partner is Medical
Venture  Holdings,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  affiliated with Oppenheimer &
Co., Inc.  ("Opco").  The limited  partners of the Managing  General Partner are
Oppenheimer  Holdings,  Inc.,  MVP  Holdings,  Inc.  and BSW,  Inc.,  a Delaware
corporation  owned  by John A.  Balkoski,  Philippe  L.  Sommer  and  Howard  S.
Wachtler.  Messrs. Sommer and Wachtler are principally  responsible for managing
the investments of the Partnership.

Opco, a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange,  the National Association of
Securities Dealers,  Inc., and all principal United States securities exchanges,
is a diversified investment banking and securities firm, a registered investment
advisor and Futures  Commission  Merchant providing a broad range of services to
individual,  corporate, and institutional clients. Opco operates in the capacity
of broker and dealer for its  customers,  as well as trader for its own account.
The services provided by Opco and its subsidiaries,  and the activities in which
it is engaged,  include  securities  brokerage,  securities  research,  customer
financing,  securities  trading,  corporate  finance,  mergers and acquisitions,
underwriting and investment advisory services.

The Partnership's  objective is to achieve  long-term capital  appreciation from
its portfolio of venture capital investments, consisting of companies engaged in
the health care industry.  The Partnership is scheduled to terminate on December
31,  1997.  However,  the  General  Partners  can  extend the term for up to two
additional  two-year periods,  if they determine that such extensions are in the
best interest of the Partnership.

2.            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Valuation of  Investments - Portfolio  investments  are carried at fair value as
determined  quarterly by the Managing  General  Partner under the supervision of
the Independent  General  Partners.  The fair value of  publicly-held  portfolio
securities is adjusted to the average  closing  public market price for the last
five trading days of each quarter  discounted  for sales  restrictions.  Factors
considered in the determination of an appropriate  discount include  underwriter
lock-up or Rule 144 trading  restrictions,  insider status where the Partnership
either has a  representative  serving on the board of directors of the portfolio
company under

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED


consideration or is greater than a 5% shareholder  thereof,  and other liquidity
factors  such  as the  size of the  Partnership's  position  in a given  company
compared to the trading history of the public security. Privately-held portfolio
securities  are carried at cost until  significant  developments  affecting  the
portfolio  company  provide a basis for change in  valuation.  The fair value of
private   securities   is  adjusted  (i)  to  reflect   meaningful   third-party
transactions in the private market and (ii) to reflect  significant  progress or
slippage in the  development of the company's  business such that cost no longer
reflects fair value.

Investment  Transactions - Investment  transactions  are recorded on the accrual
method. For portfolio  investments,  transactions are recorded on the date which
the Partnership obtains an enforceable right to demand the securities or payment
thereof.  Realized  gains  and  losses on  investments  sold are  computed  on a
specific identification basis.

Statements  of  Cash  Flows  - Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  short-term
interest-bearing   investments  in  commercial  paper  and  other  money  market
investments.  The Partnership  considers its interest bearing cash account to be
cash equivalents.

Income Taxes - No provision  for income taxes has been made since all income and
losses are  allocable  to the partners for  inclusion  in their  respective  tax
returns.

3.            Allocations of Partnership Profits and Losses

Pursuant to the Partnership's agreement of limited partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"),  the  Partnership's  net  income  and net  realized  gains from all
sources  are  allocated  to  all  Partners,   in  proportion  to  their  capital
contributions,  until all Partners have been allocated an amount equal to 6% per
annum, simple interest, on their total Adjusted Invested Capital; i.e., original
capital contributions reduced by previous distributions (the "Priority Return").
Thereafter,  net income and net realized gains from venture capital  investments
in excess of the amount used to cover the Priority  Return are  allocated 20% to
the  Managing  General  Partner and 80% to all Partners in  proportion  to their
capital  contributions.  Any net income from non-venture  capital investments in
excess of the  amount  used to cover the  Priority  Return is  allocated  to all
Partners in  proportion  to their  capital  contributions.  Realized  losses are
allocated to all Partners in proportion to their capital contributions. However,
if realized gains had been previously  allocated in the 80-20 ratio, then losses
are  allocated in the reverse order in which  profits were  allocated.  From its
inception to September 30, 1994, the Partnership had a $7.3 million net realized
loss from its venture capital investments.

4.            Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement,  the Managing General Partner is entitled
to receive a one-time venture capital fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds from
the sale of Units. Such fee is incurred as portfolio investments are made in the
proportion of the cost of each portfolio investment to the net proceeds from the
sale of Units. Venture capital fees incurred are recorded as a cost of acquiring
the  portfolio  investments.  For the nine months ended  September  30, 1994 and
1993,  the  Partnership  incurred  venture  capital  fees of $27,000 and $6,000,
respectively.  Cumulative  venture  capital  fees  incurred  from  inception  to
September 30, 1994 totaled $1.6 million.

Pursuant to a  management  agreement  between the  Partnership  and the Managing
General  Partner (the  "Management  Agreement"),  the Managing  General  Partner
performs, or arranges for others to perform, the management,  administrative and
certain  investment  advisory  services  necessary  for  the  operation  of  the
Partnership.  For  such  services,  the  Managing  General  Partner  receives  a
management  fee at the annual  rate of 2% of the lesser of the net assets of the
Partnership  or the net  contributed  capital of the  Partnership;  i.e.,  gross
capital  contributions  to the  Partnership  (net  of  selling  commissions  and
organizational expenses) reduced by capital distributed.  Such fee is determined
and payable quarterly.

For services rendered to the Partnership,  each of the three Independent General
Partners  receives a $5,000 annual fee and  reimbursement  for all out-of-pocket
expenses relating to attendance at meetings of the General Partners.

5.            Interim Financial Statements

In  the  opinion  of the  Managing  General  Partner,  the  unaudited  financial
statements  as of September  30, 1994,  and for the three and nine month periods
then ended,  reflect all adjustments  necessary for the fair presentation of the
results of the interim periods.



<PAGE>


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three  months ended  September  30, 1994,  the  Partnership  invested
$55,000  (including  venture  capital  fees  totaling  $3,000)  in one  existing
portfolio  company.  At September  30,  1994,  the  Partnership  had invested an
aggregate of $28 million in 23 portfolio companies (including  acquisition costs
and venture  capital fees totaling $1.9 million).  The  Partnership has invested
approximately  93.5% of its original $30 million of net proceeds  received  from
the offering of Units.

At September 30, 1994, the Partnership  held $2.7 million in cash and short-term
investments as follows: $2.2 million in short-term securities with maturities of
less than one year and $424,000 in an  interest-bearing  cash  account.  For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1994, the  Partnership  earned $28,000
and $75,000 of interest on such investments,  respectively. Interest earned from
short-term   investments  in  future  periods  is  subject  to  fluctuations  in
short-term  interest rates and changes in funds available for investment.  It is
anticipated  that  funds  needed to cover  the  Partnership's  future  follow-on
investments and operating expenses will be obtained from existing cash reserves,
future  interest  earned  from  its  short-term  investment  portfolio  and from
proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments.

Results of Operations

For the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1994, the  Partnership  had a
net realized loss from operations of $99,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. For
the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1993, the  Partnership  had a net
realized  loss from  operations  of  $128,000  and  $70,000,  respectively.  Net
realized gain or loss from  operations is comprised of (i) net realized gains or
losses from  portfolio  investments  sold or written off and (ii) net investment
income or loss.

Realized  Gains and Losses from  Portfolio  Investments  - For the three  months
ended  September 30, 1994, the  Partnership had no realized gains or losses from
its portfolio  investments.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1994,  the
Partnership had a net realized loss from its portfolio  investments of $944,000.
During  March and April  1994,  the  Partnership  sold 20,000  common  shares of
CliniCom  Incorporated  in the public market for  $422,000,  realizing a loss of
$944,000.

For the three months ended  September 30, 1993, the  Partnership had no realized
gains or  losses  from its  portfolio  investments.  For the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1993, the Partnership realized a $323,000 gain primarily resulting
from the sale of 40,000 common shares of Somatogen, Inc. in the public market.

Investment  Income and Expenses - Net investment loss for the three months ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993 was $99,000 and $128,000, respectively. The decrease
in net  investment  loss for the 1994  period  compared  to the 1993  period  is
attributable to a decrease in operating expenses for the 1994 period,  primarily
management fees, as discussed below.

Net  investment  loss for the nine months ended  September 30, 1994 and 1993 was
$235,000 and $393,000, respectively. The decrease in net investment loss for the
1994  period  compared  to the 1993  period is  attributable  to an  increase in
interest, dividend and other income from portfolio investments earned during the
1994 period and a decrease in professional  fees and general and  administrative
expenses  incurred during the 1994 period.  Interest,  dividend and other income
earned from portfolio  investments  for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
and 1993 was $72,000 and $15,000,  respectively.  The $72,000  earned during the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 included a $60,000 cash  distribution  from
Nimbus Medical,  L.P.,  representing royalties and other income from the sale of
technology.  Professional  fees incurred during the 1993 period included certain
litigation costs totaling $58,000.

The management fee paid to the Managing General Partner pursuant to a management
agreement  between  the  Partnership  and  the  Managing  General  Partner  (the
"Management  Agreement")  for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
was $88,000 and $104,000,  respectively.  The decrease in the management fee for
the 1994  period as  compared to the 1993 period is a result of a decline in the
Partnership's  net assets  from $18.8  million at  September  30,  1993 to $17.5
million at September  30,  1994.  The  management  fee for the nine months ended
September  30, 1994 and 1993 was $288,000  and  $287,000,  respectively.  To the
extent possible,  the management fee and other operating  expenses are paid with
funds provided from operations. Funds provided from operations are obtained from
interest received from short-term investments, interest and dividend income from
portfolio   investments  and  proceeds  received  from  the  sale  of  portfolio
investments.6

Unrealized   Gains  and  Losses  and  Changes  in  Unrealized   Appreciation  or
Depreciation of Portfolio  Investments - For the nine months ended September 30,
1994,  the  Partnership  had a $627,000 net  unrealized  loss from its portfolio
investments,  resulting from the net downward  revaluation of certain  portfolio
investments.  Additionally,  during the nine months  ended  September  30, 1994,
$936,000 was transferred from unrealized loss to realized loss relating to prior
period  reserves on the 20,000 common shares of CliniCom sold during the period,
as discussed above. The $936,000  transfer from unrealized loss to realized loss
partially offset by the $626,000 unrealized loss resulted in a $310,000 increase
to the  Partnership's  net unrealized  appreciation  of investments for the nine
month period.

For the nine months ended  September 30, 1993, the Partnership had a $49,000 net
unrealized  gain  from its  portfolio  investments,  resulting  from the  upward
revaluation  of certain  portfolio  investments.  Additionally,  during the nine
months ended  September  30, 1993,  the  Partnership  transferred  $538,000 from
unrealized gain to realized gain due to the sale of Somatogen  shares during the
period,  as discussed above.  The $538,000  transfer from unrealized to realized
gain offset by the $49,000  unrealized  gain resulted in a $489,000  decrease to
the Partnership's net unrealized  appreciation of investments for the nine month
period.

Net Assets - Changes to net assets resulting from operations is comprised of (i)
net realized gains and losses from operations and (ii) changes to net unrealized
appreciation or depreciation of portfolio investments. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993,  the  Partnership  had a net decrease in net assets
resulting from operations of $870,000 and $559,000, respectively.

At September  30,  1994,  the  Partnership's  net assets were $17.5  million,  a
decrease of $870,000  from $18.4  million at December  31, 1993.  This  decrease
resulted  from the $1.2  million net  realized  loss from  operations  partially
offset by the $310,000  increase in net unrealized  appreciation  of investments
for the nine month period.

At September  30,  1993,  the  Partnership's  net assets were $18.8  million,  a
decrease of $559,000  from $19.4  million at December  31, 1992.  This  decrease
resulted from the $489,000  decrease in unrealized  appreciation and the $70,000
net realized loss from operations for the nine month period.

At September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993,  the net asset value per $500 Unit,
including an  allocation  of net  unrealized  appreciation  or  depreciation  of
portfolio investments,  was $259 and $272,  respectively.  Such per Unit amounts
are based on average  allocations  to all  Limited  Partners  and do not reflect
specific  Limited  Partner  allocations,  which are  determined  by the original
closing date associated with the Units held by each Limited Partner.
