                      ML-LEE ACQUISITION FUND, L.P.
                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
                               (UNAUDITED)

1.  Organization and Purpose

    ML-Lee Acquisition Fund, L.P. (the "Fund") was formed and the Certificate of
Limited  Partnership  was  filed  under the  Delaware  Revised  Uniform  Limited
Partnership Act on April 1, 1987. The Fund's operations commenced on October 19,
1987.

    The Managing General Partner, subject to the supervision of the Individual 
General Partners, is responsible for overseeing and monitoring the Fund's
investments.  Mezzanine Investments, L.P. (the "Managing General Partner"), is a
 limited partnership in which ML Mezzanine Inc., an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., is the general partner, and Thomas H. 
Lee Advisors I (the "Investment Adviser"), an affiliate of Thomas H. Lee, is
the limited partner.  The Individual General Partners are Vernon R. Alden, 
Joseph L. Bower and Stanley H. Feldberg (the "Independent General Partners") and
Thomas H. Lee.

    The Fund has elected to operate as a business  development company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Its primary  investment  objective is to provide
current income and long-term  capital  appreciation  by investing in "Mezzanine"
securities  consisting  primarily  of  Subordinated  Debt  and  Preferred  Stock
combined  with an equity  participation  issued  in  connection  with  leveraged
acquisitions  or  other  leveraged  transactions  which  management  of the Fund
believes offer significant possibilities for return.

    As stated in the Prospectus, the Fund will terminate upon the liquidation of
all Fund  investments  but no later than June 15, 1998,  subject to the right of
the  Individual  General  Partners  to extend the term for up to one  additional
two-year period and one additional one-year period if it is in the best interest
of  the  Fund.  The  Fund  has  five  years  more  to  liquidate  its  remaining
investments.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

    For financial  reporting  purposes,  the records of the Fund are  maintained
using the  accrual  method of  accounting.  For  Federal  income  tax  reporting
purposes,   the  results  of  operations  are  adjusted  to  reflect   statutory
requirements arising from book to tax differences.


<PAGE>


Valuation of Investments

    Securities for which market  quotations are readily  available are valued by
reference to such market quotation,  using the last trade price (if reported) or
the  last  bid  price  for  the  period.   For  securities   without  a  readily
ascertainable  market value  (including  securities  restricted as to resale for
which a corresponding  publicly traded class exists),  fair value is determined,
on a quarterly  basis,  in good faith by the  Managing  General  Partner and the
Investment  Adviser with final approval from the Individual  General Partners of
the Fund. For privately issued  securities in which the Fund typically  invests,
the fair value of an  investment  is its original cost plus accrued value in the
case of original issue  discount or deferred pay  securities.  Such  investments
will be  revalued  if there is an  objective  basis for doing so at a  different
price. Investments will be written down in value if the Managing General Partner
and Investment  Adviser  believe  adverse credit  developments  of a significant
nature require a write-down of such  securities.  Investments will be written up
in value  only if there has been an  arms'-length  third  party  transaction  to
justify the  increased  valuation.  Although  the Managing  General  Partner and
Investment Adviser use their best judgment in estimating the fair value of these
investments,  there  are  inherent  limitations  in  any  estimation  technique.
Therefore,  the  fair  value  estimates  presented  herein  are not  necessarily
indicative of the amount which the Fund could realize in a current transaction.

    Temporary  Investments  with  maturities  of less than 60 days are stated at
amortized cost, which approximates market.

    The information presented herein is based on pertinent information available
to the Managing General Partner and Investment Adviser as of September 30, 1995.
Although the Managing  General  Partner and Investment  Adviser are not aware of
any factors not disclosed herein that would  significantly  affect the estimated
fair value amounts,  such amounts have not been  comprehensively  revalued since
that time and especially in light of the fact that the portfolio  investments of
companies  whose  equity is publicly  traded are valued at the trading  price at
September 29, 1995, the current  estimated fair value of these  investments  may
have changed significantly since that point in time.

Interest Receivable on Investments

    Investments generally will be placed on non-accrual status in the event of a
default (after applicable grace period expires) or if the Investment Adviser and
the Managing General Partner determine that there is no reasonable  assurance of
collecting interest.


<PAGE>


Payment-In-Kind Securities

    All payment-in-kind securities received in lieu of cash interest payments by
the Fund's  portfolio  companies are recorded at face value (which  approximates
accrued  interest),  unless the  Investment  Adviser  and the  Managing  General
Partner  determine that there is no reasonable  assurance of collecting the full
principal amounts of such securities.  As of September 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994,  the Fund had in its portfolio of investments  $1,122,216 and  $4,098,017,
respectively, of payment-in-kind debt securities, which excludes $80,538,137 and
$81,267,344,  respectively,  of payment-in-kind  securities  received from notes
placed on  non-accrual  status.  As of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
the  Fund  had in its  portfolio  of  investments  $9,795,012  and  $16,608,872,
respectively, of payment-in-kind equity securities.

Investment Transactions

    The Fund records investment  transactions on the date on which it obtains an
enforceable right to demand the securities or payment therefor. The Fund records
Temporary Investment transactions on the trade date.

    Realized  gains and losses on  investments  are  determined  on the basis of
specific identification for accounting and tax purposes.

Deferred Interest Income

    All fees  received  by the Fund  upon the  funding  of  Mezzanine  or Bridge
Investments  are  treated as deferred  interest  income and  amortized  over the
maturity of such investments.

Loan Facility and Advisory Fees

    Loan Facility and Advisory Fees are being  amortized over the life (7 years)
of the Facility commencing in August, 1991.

Partners' Capital

    Partners' Capital  represents the Fund's equity divided in proportion to the
Partners'  Capital  Contributions  and does not represent the Partners'  Capital
Accounts.  Profits and losses,  when realized,  are allocated in accordance with
the provisions of the Partnership Agreement summarized in Note 3.

Interim Financial Statements

    The financial  information  included in this interim  report as of September
30, 1995 and for the period then ended has been prepared by  management  without
an audit by independent certified public accountants. The results for the period
ended  September 30, 1995 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results of the
operations  expected for the year and reflect  adjustments,  all of a normal and
recurring  nature,  necessary  for the fair  presentation  of the results of the
interim  period.  In the opinion of Mezzanine  Investments,  L.P.,  the Managing
General  Partner of the Fund,  all necessary  adjustments  have been made to the
aforementioned  financial information for a fair presentation in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.


<PAGE>


3.  Allocation of Profits and Losses

    Pursuant  to  the   Partnership   Agreement,   all  profits  from  Temporary
Investments  generally are  allocated 99% to the Limited  Partners and 1% to the
Managing  General Partner.  Profits from Mezzanine  Investments are, in general,
allocated as follows:

    first, if the capital  accounts of any partners have negative  balances,  to
    such  partners in  proportion  to the  negative  balances  in their  capital
    accounts until the balances of all such capital accounts equal zero,

    second,  99% to the Limited  Partners and 1% to the Managing General Partner
    until the sum allocated to the Limited  Partners  equals any previous losses
    allocated  together with a cumulative  Priority Return of 10% on the average
    daily investments in mezzanine securities,  and any outstanding Compensatory
    Payments,

    third,  69% to the Limited  Partners and 31% to the Managing General Partner
    until the Managing  General  Partner has  received 21% of the total  profits
    allocated,

    thereafter, 79% to the Limited Partners and 21% to the
    Managing General Partner.

    Losses will be allocated in reverse  order of profits  previously  allocated
and  thereafter  99% to the  Limited  Partners  and 1% to the  Managing  General
Partner.

4.  Leverage

    The Fund entered into a credit  agreement,  dated as of August 13, 1991 (the
"Credit  Facilities"),  with a maximum  credit  facility of $140  million with a
lending group led by the First National Bank of Chicago ("First  Chicago").  The
Credit  Facilities  consisted  of a $100  million  secured  term  loan and a $40
million  secured  revolving  credit line. As of September 30, 1995,  the maximum
availability  under the Credit  Facilities was reduced to $19,894,240 due to the
sales of pledged  securities.  The Available Credit  Facilities has been further
reduced by a $4 million  letter of credit in connection  with the  investment in
BeefAmerica,  Inc.  The Credit  Facilities  will mature on July 31,  1998.  Loan
advances  bear interest at a floating rate equal to the greater of prime plus 1%
or the federal funds rate plus 1.5%. The Fund paid down the term loan during the
first quarter of 1994. In connection  with the Credit  Facilities,  the Fund has
pledged its debt and equity portfolio securities to its lenders.

    In connection  with the Credit  Facilities,  the Fund incurred the following
loan fees:

    Nonrecurring  loan advisory and loan  facility  fees of  $4,441,580  paid to
    First  Chicago  in  1991 in  connection  with  the  creation  of the  credit
    facility,  which are being  amortized over the life of the credit  facility.
    The  amount  expensed  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 was
    $476,819.


<PAGE>


    An annual Loan  Administration  Fee of $25,000 for the administration of the
    credit facility. The amount expensed for the nine months ended September 30,
    1995 was $18,621.

    An  Unused  Commitment  Fee of 1/2 of 1% per  annum  of the  unused  line of
    credit.  The  expense  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 was
    $59,267.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Fund has incurred
$555,145 and $586,624, respectively, in total loan fees.

    For additional information, see Note 11.

5.  Investment Advisory Fee

    The  Investment  Adviser  provides for the  identification,  management  and
liquidation of investments for the Fund. As compensation  for services  rendered
to the Fund, the Investment  Adviser receives a quarterly fee at the annual rate
of 1% of assets under management (net offering  proceeds,  reduced by cumulative
capital  reductions,  plus outstanding bank borrowing as specified in the Fund's
Partnership Agreement),  with a minimum annual fee of $1,200,000. The Investment
Advisory Fee is calculated and paid quarterly,  in advance.  For the nine months
ended  September 30, 1995 and 1994,  the Fund paid  $2,197,065  and  $2,741,152,
respectively,  in Investment  Advisory Fees to Thomas H. Lee Advisors I. For the
three  months  ended  September  30, 1995 and 1994,  the Fund paid  $690,976 and
$909,354, respectively, in Investment Advisory Fees.

6.  Fund Administration Fee

    ML Fund Administrators Inc. (the "Fund  Administrator") (an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) performs the operational and  administrative  services
necessary for the  management of the Fund.  For the period from October 19, 1991
to October 19, 1995, the Fund Administrator is entitled to receive from the Fund
an annual  amount  equal to the greater of $400,000 or 0.45% of the Net Proceeds
Available  for  Investments  subject to certain  reductions  as specified in the
Fund's   Partnership   Agreement.   Beginning   October  19,   1995,   the  Fund
Administration  Fee will change to an annual fee of $300,000 plus  out-of-pocket
expenses  incurred  by the  Fund  Administrator  as  described  below.  The Fund
Administration  Fee is calculated and paid quarterly,  in advance.  For the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1995 and  1994,  the  Fund  paid  $1,259,424  and
$1,383,818,  respectively,  in Fund  Administration  Fees.  For the three months
ended  September  30,  1995 and  1994,  the Fund  paid  $410,498  and  $459,633,
respectively, in Fund Administration Fees.

    For the period ending October 19, 1995, the Fund's  expenses for accounting,
audits,   printing,   tax   preparation   and  other   administrative   services
("out-of-pocket  expenses")  (excluding  the costs of bonding and  extraordinary
legal expenses) were paid by the Fund Administrator. Beginning October 19, 1995,
in  accordance  with  Partnership  Agreement,  the Fund  Administrator  is being
reimbursed by the Fund for 100% of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred.


<PAGE>


7.  Independent General Partners' Fees

    As  compensation  for  services  rendered  to the  Fund,  each of the  three
Independent   General   Partners   receives   $40,000   annually  in   quarterly
installments,  $1,000 for each  meeting of the  General  Partners  attended  and
$1,000 for each committee  meeting attended ($500 if a committee meeting is held
on the same day as a meeting of the General Partners) plus reimbursement for any
legal and out-of-pocket expenses.

    For the nine months ended  September  30, 1995 and 1994,  the Fund  incurred
$267,567 and $260,471,  respectively,  in Independent General Partners' Fees and
Expenses.

8.  Investment Transactions

    On November 23, 1994, in  connection  with the  financial  restructuring  of
Chadwick-Miller,  Inc. and its holding  company,  CMI Holding Corp.,  the Fund's
$5,000,000  14.75%  Senior Note was  redeemed.  The  proceeds  received  were $5
million,  however,  as of September  30, 1995,  $3.1  million is  classified  as
restricted  cash and remains held in escrow until certain  leasing  consents are
obtained from store landlords.

    On April 27, 1995 Petco Animal Supplies,  Inc. ("Petco")  completed a public
offering  of  approximately  3.6  million  shares of Common  Stock  (the  "Petco
Offering") at a net price of $19.71 per share. Of the shares sold, approximately
2.4 million  shares were  offered by Petco and  approximately  1.2 million  were
offered by certain  existing  shareholders,  including  the Fund. As part of the
Petco  Offering,  the Fund sold  1,009,638  shares  (including  shares sold as a
result of the  exercise  of the  underwriters'  overallotment  option on May 26,
1995),  representing  51%  percent  of its  Petco  holdings.  The Fund  received
proceeds of  $19,902,489  and realized a gain of  $3,606,557  on the sale of the
equity.

    In connection with a General Nutrition Companies, Inc. public offering of 10
million shares of Common Stock,  together with a 15% overallotment option to the
underwriters  (the "GNC  Offering")  on July 19, 1995,  the Fund sold  3,020,212
shares of common  stock  (including  the  underwriters  overallotment  option of
449,174 shares exercised on August 1, 1995) at a net price per share of $33.775.
The Fund also sold  423,454  common stock  purchase  warrants at a net price per
warrant of $28.775  (the net price per share  less the $5 per  warrant  exercise
price).  Proceeds from the sales totalled  $114,192,216 with an original cost of
$29,476,469  resulted  in  realized  gains  of  $84,715,747  and  proceeds  were
distributed to the Partners of the Fund in a special  distribution on August 14,
1995.  Subsequent to the sale, all remaining GNC Convertible  Subordinated Notes
held by the Fund were converted into Common Stock.

    At September  30,  1995,  the Fund had a total of  $270,361,232  invested in
Mezzanine   Investments   representing   $252,761,190  Managed  and  $17,600,042
Non-Managed portfolio investments.

    For the nine months ended  September  30, 1995,  the proceeds and costs from
the sales of  investments  resulted in net realized gains of  $112,848,806.  For
additional  information,  please refer to the Supplemental  Schedule of Realized
Gains and Losses (Schedule 1) on page 34.


<PAGE>


    Because  the  Fund  primarily   invests  in  high-yield   private  placement
securities,  the risk of loss upon  default  by an issuer is  greater  than with
investment  grade  securities  because   high-yield   securities  are  generally
unsecured and are often  subordinated  to other  creditors of the issuer.  Also,
high-yield  issuers  usually  have higher  levels of  indebtedness  and are more
sensitive to adverse economic conditions.

    Although the Fund cannot eliminate its risks associated with its investments
in high-yield securities,  it has procedures in place to continually monitor its
risks associated with its investments under a variety of market conditions.  Any
potential  Fund  loss  would  generally  be  limited  to its  investment  in the
portfolio  company  reflected in the portfolio of  investments.  See Note 11 for
information concerning commitments and guarantees.

    Should bankruptcy  proceedings commence,  either voluntarily or by action of
the court against a portfolio company,  the ability of the Fund to liquidate the
position or collect proceeds from the action may be delayed or limited.

9.  Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation of Investments

    For the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  the Fund  recorded  net
unrealized  depreciation  of  $30,162,528  and  as  of  this  date,  the  Fund's
cumulative net unrealized depreciation on investments totalled $27,579,857.

    For additional  information,  please refer to the  Supplemental  Schedule of
Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation (Schedule 2) on pages 35-36.

10. Non-Accrual of Investments

    In accordance with the Fund's  Accounting  Policy,  the following notes have
been on non-accrual status since the date indicated:

- -   BeefAmerica Incorporated on July 1, 1990.
- -   Chadwick-Miller, Inc. on January 1, 1993.

11. Commitments and Guarantees

    On October 12, 1989,  the Fund  established a $4 million  standby  letter of
credit  issued for  BeefAmerica's  Senior Bank Group as security for part of the
Fund's loan to BeefAmerica, Inc.

    On January 20, 1992,  the Fund entered into a commitment  to guarantee up to
$150,480 to support an  obligation  of a  subsidiary  of Alliance  International
Group, Inc. The amount of such guarantee  represents the Fund's pro-rata portion
of a $600,000  aggregate  additional  advance  provided by the senior  lender of
Alliance.


<PAGE>


    On April 13,  1994,  the Fund and the Lee  Affiliates  agreed  to  severally
guarantee  ultimate  payment to Diet  Center's  legal  counsel  for all past and
ongoing legal  services  rendered in connection  with the Diet Center  franchise
litigation (see Note 12 to the Financial Statements). The Fund guaranteed 85.71%
and the Lee Affiliates guaranteed 14.29% of such fees. In addition, from June 28
to December 8, 1994,  the Fund  guaranteed the payment of certain other expenses
in connection with such  litigation and the Lee Affiliates  entered into similar
agreements in proportion to their equity. As of September 30, 1995, the Fund has
paid legal and other  expenses in  connection  with the Diet  Center  litigation
pursuant to the aforementioned guarantee totalling $1,257,012.

12. Litigation

    On March 9, 1989, a number of franchisees of Diet Center,  Inc.  initiated a
suit in San Francisco  Superior Court challenging Diet Center's 50 cent increase
in the Continuing  License Fee which is paid by all franchisees on a per dieter,
per day basis.  Plaintiffs alleged that all defendants  (including the Fund, its
Investment Adviser and Thomas H. Lee) conspired to finance the leveraged buy-out
of Diet Center's corporate parent, American Health Companies Inc., by wrongfully
increasing the License Fee. Plaintiffs  subsequently filed an amended fraudulent
conveyance  count. On January 27, 1995 Judge Baxter of the San Francisco Supreme
Court  issued a written  opinion  after trial in which she ruled in favor of all
defendants  (including,  the Fund, its Investment  Adviser and Thomas H. Lee) on
plaintiffs'  allegation that the leveraged buy-out of American Health Companies,
Inc.  was a  constructively  fraudulent  conveyance.  The Court  had  previously
granted  summary  judgment to the Fund,  the Thomas H. Lee Company and Thomas H.
Lee on plaintiffs' other allegations  against those defendants.  On May 1, 1995,
the  parties  entered  into a  "Settlement  Agreement"  pursuant  to  which  the
plaintiffs withdrew their appeals and the defendants, including the Fund, agreed
not to seek to  recover  from  plaintiffs  the  defendants'  costs  incurred  in
connection with the litigation.  This settlement agreement became effective June
1, 1995.

    On September 7, 1991, the Fund brought suit in the Court of Common Pleas for
the County of Greenville, South Carolina against Deloitte & Touche in connection
with Deloitte & Touche's audit  opinions on the financial  statements of Emb-Tex
Corporation,  formerly an  operating  subsidiary  of a portfolio  company of the
Fund.  The Fund contends that the value of Emb-Tex  Corporation's  inventory and
operating income were substantially overstated in its financial statements.  The
Fund  seeks  actual and  punitive  damages  in  connection  with the loss of its
aggregate $18 million investment.  Deloitte & Touche obtained a summary judgment
in its favor and the Fund  pursued  an appeal in the  Appellate  Courts of South
Carolina.  On August 21, 1995, the South Carolina Court of Appeals  reversed the
summary  judgment ruling and rewarded the case for trial. On September 11, 1995,
Deloitte & Touche filed a petition for rehearing with the Court of Appeals which
is pending.


<PAGE>


    On October  18,  1991,  one  Limited  Partner of the Fund  commenced a class
action in the Supreme  Court of the State of New York in the County of New York,
on behalf of a class of all  Limited  Partners  of record  during  1990 or their
successors in interest, against the Fund's Managing General Partner,  Individual
General  Partners,  Investment  Adviser  and  certain of their  affiliates.  The
complaint alleges that the defendants breached the Fund's Partnership  Agreement
in 1990 by causing the Fund to pay $7,554,855 in incentive  compensation  to the
Managing General Partner with respect to that year. The complaint seeks monetary
damages in the amount of $7,554,855,  together with interest,  and other relief.
The  defendants  believe  that the claim is without  merit and sought to have it
dismissed. The court denied the defendants' motion for summary judgment, and the
defendants  filed  an  interlocutory  appeal  to the  New  York  Supreme  Court,
Appellate Division, which was denied. Thereafter,  defendants moved to decertify
the class and that motion was denied.  A trial was held in late  January,  1995.
Whether or not the  plaintiff  prevails,  the Fund may be obligated to indemnify
and advance litigation expenses to one or more of the defendants under the terms
and  conditions  of  various  indemnity  provisions  of the  Fund's  Partnership
Agreement  and  separate  indemnification  agreements.  The  Fund  has  advanced
litigation  expenses to the  indemnified  parties  based upon amounts  which are
deemed  reimbursable in accordance with the  indemnification  provisions and has
included these amounts in  professional  fees. The final outcome of this case is
not determinable at this time.

    On October 14, 1993, a Limited Partner  commenced a putative class action in
the U.S.  District Court for the District of Delaware,  purportedly on behalf of
all persons who  purchased  limited  partnership  interests  in the Fund between
August 12, 1987 and the date of filing of the  complaint,  against the Fund, the
Managing  General  Partner,  the  Individual  General  Partners,  the Investment
Adviser to the Fund and certain named  affiliates  of such persons.  As amended,
the complaint  alleges that the  defendants  operated the Fund, and caused it to
make certain  investments,  for the benefit of some or all of the  defendants at
the expense of the Fund's Limited  Partners in breach of  defendants'  fiduciary
and  contractual  duties to the  Limited  Partners,  thereby  violating  federal
securities laws  applicable to the Fund and its affiliates  under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended,  as well as Delaware  state law. By Order dated
September 30, 1994 and Opinion dated October 14, 1994, the court granted in part
and  denied  in part  defendants'  motion  to  dismiss  the  amended  complaint,
dismissing plaintiff's claims with respect to several investments as time-barred
and dismissing all claims for aiding and abetting liability under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. The plaintiff  thereafter filed a second amended  complaint
on November 3, 1995 raising  additional  allegations in connection  with certain
transactions  engaged by the Fund, and that  defendants  violated the Investment
Company Act of 1940 of the federal  securities  laws and Delaware state law. The
plaintiff  seeks an  accounting,  rescission,  rescissory or actual  damages and
punitive  damages.  The  defendants  in this action  believe that the claims are
without  merit and have moved to  dismiss  them.  Whether  or not the  plaintiff
prevails on any  remaining  claims,  the Fund may be obligated to indemnify  and
advance  litigation  expenses to certain of the  defendants  under the terms and
conditions of various indemnity  provisions in the Fund's Partnership  Agreement
and separate indemnification agreements, and the amounts of such indemnification
and expenses could be material.  The outcome of this case is not determinable at
this time.  The Fund has  incurred  litigation  expenses  which are  recorded in
professional fees.

13. Related Party Transactions

    Certain of the Mezzanine  Investments and Bridge Investments which were made
by the Fund involve  co-investments with entities affiliated with the Investment
Adviser.  Such  co-investments are generally  prohibited absent exemptive relief
from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the  "Commission").  As a result of
these   affiliations   and  the  Fund's   expectation   of   engaging   in  such
co-investments,  the Fund sought an exemptive order from the Commission allowing
such  co-investment,  which was received on September  23, 1987.  An  additional
exemptive order allowing  co-investment  with ML-Lee  Acquisition  Fund II, L.P.
("Fund  II")  and  ML-Lee  Acquisition  Fund  (Retirement   Accounts)  II,  L.P.
("Retirement  Fund") was received from the  Commission on September 1, 1989. The
Fund's investments in Managed Companies, and in certain cases its investments in
Non-Managed Companies,  typically involve the entry by the Fund and other equity
security  holders into  stockholders'  agreements.  While the provisions of such
stockholders'  agreements  vary,  such  agreements may include  provisions as to
corporate  governance,  registration  rights,  rights  of  first  offer or first
refusal,  rights to participate in sales of securities to third parties,  rights
of majority stockholders to compel minority stockholders to participate in sales
of securities to third parties, transfer restrictions and preemptive rights.

    Thomas H. Lee  Company,  a sole  proprietorship  owned by Thomas H. Lee,  an
Individual  General  Partner  of the Fund  and an  affiliate  of the  Investment
Adviser,  typically performs certain  management  services for Managed Companies
and  receives  management  fees in  connection  therewith,  usually  pursuant to
written  agreements with such companies.  In addition,  certain of the Portfolio
Companies  have  contractual  or other  relationships  pursuant to which they do
business with one another.

    Merrill  Lynch,  Pierce,  Fenner  &  Smith  Incorporated  ("MLPF&S")  is  an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner. MLPF&S and certain of its affiliates,
in the ordinary course of their business, perform various financial services for
various portfolio  companies of the Fund, which may include  investment  banking
services,  broker/dealer  services  and  economic  forecasting,  and  receive in
consideration   therewith   various  fees,   commissions   and   reimbursements.
Furthermore,  MLPF&S  and its  affiliates  or  investment  companies  advised by
affiliates of MLPF&S may, from time to time,  purchase or sell securities issued
by portfolio  companies of the Fund in connection with their ordinary investment
operations.

    During 1995, the Managing General Partner received cash distributions in the
amount of $1,863,310, representing its 1% interest in the Fund.

14. Reserves

    In February  1993,  the Fund  established a  $15,055,806  reserve to provide
funds for follow-on  investments and to pay expenses.  As of September 30, 1995,
the reserve  balance was reduced to  approximately  $3,139,606  due to follow-on
investments  in CMI Holding  Corp.,  Diet Center  Inc.,  Duro-Test  Corporation,

$529, respectively,  along with a distribution to partners in the second quarter

15. Income Taxes (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109)

    No  provision  for income  taxes has been made because all income and losses
are  allocated to the Fund's  partners for  inclusion  in their  respective  tax
returns.

    Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting
for Income  Taxes,  the Fund is required to disclose any  difference  in the tax
basis of the Fund's assets and  liabilities  versus the amounts  reported in the
financial statements.  Generally, the tax basis of the Fund's assets approximate
the amortized cost amounts reported in the financial statements.  This amount is
computed  annually  and as of  December  31,  1994,  the tax basis of the Fund's
assets are greater  than the amounts  reported in the  financial  statements  by
$21,040,094.   This   difference   is  primarily   attributable   to  unrealized
depreciation on investments which has not been recognized for tax purposes.

16. Subsequent Events

    On October 17, 1995,  General Nutrition  Companies,  Inc. ("GNC") effected a
2-for-1 stock split to the  shareholders  on record as of September 8, 1995. The
stock  split  resulted in an  additional  2,451,882  shares of GNC Common  Stock
bringing the total amount held by the Fund to 4,903,765.

    On November 1, 1995, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger,  Duro-Test
Corporation  effected  a merger  pursuant  to which  Duro-Test  (the  "surviving
company") was aquired by a third party for approximately  $33 million.  Proceeds
received by the Fund from this merger were  $4,614,585,  of which  $1,758,974 is
held in escrow for potential indemnification costs of the surviving company, its
shareholders  and directors from losses  resulting from  misrepresentations  and
breaches of warranty,  in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger.  The
Fund will realize a loss on the sale of Duro-Test of $30,739,290.

    On November 3, 1995,  the  Individual  General  Partners  approved the third
quarter 1995 cash distribution totalling $590,917, which consists of $371,285 as
return of  capital  and  $446,115  from net  investment  income  from  Temporary
Investments partially offset by a net investment loss of $226,483 from Mezzanine
Investments  during the third quarter.  The total amount  distributed to Limited
Partners was $584,987 or $1.20 per Unit. The Managing  General Partner  received
$5,930,  representing  its 1% interest in the Fund. This cash  distribution  was
paid on November 14, 1995.

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

Liquidity & Capital Resources

    As of September 30, 1995, the Fund had a total of  $270,361,232  invested in
Mezzanine Investments.  These investments were financed by net offering proceeds
and debt  financing.  This  represents a $66,271,040  decrease  versus the total
invested in  Mezzanine  Investments  at December 31, 1994 of  $336,632,272.  The
decrease  in  investments  is due  primarily  to the  sales and  redemptions  of
Portfolio  Investments.  The Fund's Mezzanine  Investments consist of high-yield
subordinated debt and/or preferred stock linked with an equity  participation in
middle market companies  typically issued in private placement  transactions and
are usually  subject to  restrictions  on the transfer or sale of the  security,
thereby limiting their liquidity.

    Excluding  subordinated notes placed on non-accrual  status, the Fund during
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, received no additional debt securities
in lieu of cash interest payments ("payment-in-kind"). As of September 30, 1995,
the Fund had in its portfolio $53,920,538 of payment-in-kind debt securities and
$6,819,211 of payment-in-kind  equity securities,  which excludes $80,538,137 of
payment-in-kind securities received from notes placed on non-accrual status).

    On August 13, 1991, the Fund completed a refinancing of its credit agreement
with  a  lending  group  led by The  First  National  Bank  of  Chicago  ("First
Chicago"). The new agreement provided the Fund with a maximum credit facility of
$140 million, consisting of a $100 million term loan and a $40 million revolving
credit line, both maturing on July 31, 1998. The Fund has pledged  substantially
all of its  securities  to secure  repayment  of this  facility.  The  agreement
generally provided for mandatory  prepayments,  and a permanent reduction in the
credit  facility,  equal to the lesser of cost or cash  proceeds in the event of
the sale or other cash disposition of Mezzanine Investments.

    On October  29,  1993,  the Fund  entered  into an  amendment  to its credit
agreement enabling the Fund to make prepayments of the term loan at any time and
without any corresponding  reduction to the revolving credit line. On January 6,
1994,  the Fund paid down its term loan by $6.2  million  ($3.3  million of this
amount  was set aside  from  fourth  quarter  1993  gains and $2.9  million  was
utilized from the Fund's reserve). In addition, due to sales of securities,  the
Fund made a series of  mandatory  loan  paydowns  in the first  quarter of 1994,
aggregating $3,394,004. As of March 29, 1994, the outstanding term loan was paid
in full. As of September 30, 1995, the Fund's  maximum credit  facility had been
reduced  to  $19,894,240  due to loan  paydowns  from  the  sales  of  Mezzanine
Investments.  Of this amount the Fund utilized $4 million to support a letter of
credit  established  by the Fund,  leaving  the  remaining  credit  facility  of
$15,894,240.

    The  Fund is now in its  eighth  year of  operation.  Because  a  number  of
investments  have already been repaid or sold and other portfolio  companies are
unable to pay current interest to the Fund, cash dividends and interest expected
to be  received  by the Fund in the near  future  might  not  cover  the  Fund's
expenses.  Distribution from operations in the future, if any, will therefore be
minimal.  Future cash  distributions  to Limited Partners will be mostly derived
from capital  proceeds and gains resulting from sales of securities.  The amount
and  timing  of asset  sales  are  dependent  on future  market  conditions  and
therefore are inherently  unpredictable.  Generally, the proceeds generated from
the sale of the Fund's  investments  will be  distributed to partners only after
application  of the  original  cost of the  investments,  and in some  cases  an
additional  amount, to repay the Funds' outstanding loan if any, or to replenish
the Fund's  reserve.  To fund the  anticipated  cash flow  shortfall in the near
future and to maintain adequate reserves for possible follow-on investments, the
Fund had reserved  $15,055,806  of the proceeds  received from the Playtex notes
sale in  February,  1993.  A portion of the reserve  was used to make  follow-on
investments  of $441,861,  $2,617,805,  $2,250,000,  $3,281,722 and $529 in Diet
Center,   Duro-Test   Corp.,   Chadwick-Miller,   Health  o  meter  and   Petco,
respectively,  along with a  distribution  to partners in the second  quarter of
1993 of $424,264.  In  addition,  $2,900,018  was  utilized  from the reserve to
paydown a portion of the First  Chicago  loan on  January  6,  1994.  The Fund's
reserve  balance  as  of  September  30,  1995  was  reduced  to   approximately
$3,139,606.  The Fund has invested its remaining $3,139,606 reserve in Temporary
Investments.  As of November 14, 1995,  the  Independent  General  Partners have
approved retention of the reserve at its current level.

    On June 26, 1995 General  Nutrition  Companies,  Inc.  filed a  registration
statement in connection  with a public  offering of 10 million  shares of common
stock,  together with a 15% overallotment  option to the  underwriters(the  "GNC
Offering"),  all of which were being  offered by affiliates of the Thomas H. Lee
Company, including the Fund. The GNC Offering was declared effective on July 19,
1995  and the  Fund  sold  3,020,212  shares  of  common  stock  (including  the
underwriters overallotment option of 449,174 shares that was exercised on August
1, 1995) at a net price per share of $33.775.  The Fund also sold 423,454 common
stock purchase warrants at a net price per warrant of $28.775 (the net price per
share less the $5 per warrant exercise price). Proceeds from both sales totalled
$114,192,216  with an original cost of $29,476,469,  resulting in total realized
gain for the Fund in the  amount of  $84,715,747.  The  proceeds  from the sales
amounted to $231.90 per Unit and were distributed on August 14, 1995. Subsequent
to the sale, all remaining GNC Convertible  Subordinated  Notes held by the Fund
were  converted  into Common Stock.  As of September  30, 1995,  the Fund held a
total of 2,451,883 shares of GNC Common Stock. On October 17, 1995, GNC effected
a 2-for-1  stock split,  bringing the total number of GNC common  shares held by
the Fund to 4,903,766.

Investment in High-Yield Securities

    The  Fund  invests  primarily  in  subordinated  debt  and  preferred  stock
securities   ("High-Yield   Securities"),   generally   linked  with  an  equity
participation,  issued in conjunction with the mezzanine  financing of privately
structured,   friendly  leveraged  acquisitions,   recapitalizations  and  other
leveraged  financings.  High-Yield  Securities  are  debt and  preferred  equity
securities that are unrated or are rated by Standard & Poor's  Corporation as BB
or lower and by Moody's  Investor  Services,  Inc. as Ba or lower.  Risk of loss
upon default by the issuer is significantly  greater with High-Yield  Securities
than  with  investment  grade  securities  because  High-Yield   Securities  are
generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.
Also,  these  issuers  usually  have high  levels of  indebtedness  and are more
sensitive  to adverse  economic  conditions,  such as  recession  or  increasing
interest rates,  than  investment  grade issuers.  Most of these  securities are
subject to resale restrictions and have no quoted market price.

    Although the Fund cannot eliminate the risks associated with its investments
in High-Yield Securities,  it has established risk management policies. The Fund
subjected each prospective  investment to rigorous  analysis and made only those
investments  that were  recommended by the  Investment  Adviser and that met the
Fund's investment guidelines or that had otherwise been approved by the Managing
General Partner and the Independent  General  Partners.  Fund  investments  were
measured against specified Fund investment and performance guidelines.  To limit
the  exposure of the Fund's  capital in any single  issuer,  the Fund limits the
amount of its investment in a particular issuer. However, due to the substantial
increase  in the fair  value of the  Fund's  investment  securities  of  General
Nutrition Companies,  Inc., over 44% of the Fund's total assets (on a fair value
basis) is represented by this issuer at September 30, 1995.  Future results will
be  significantly  affected by changes in the market value of General  Nutrition
Companies' Common Stock. The Fund's Investment Adviser also continually monitors
portfolio  companies  in  order  to  minimize  the  risks  associated  with  its
investments in High-Yield Securities.

    Certain issuers of securities held by the Fund (Celebrity, General Nutrition
Companies,  Petco,  Playtex,  SFX Broadcasting  Inc., Walter  Industries,  Inc.,
Stanley  Furniture  and in part,  Health o meter) have  registered  their equity
securities in public offerings. Although the equity securities of the same class
presently  held by the Fund (except  Celebrity,  Stanley  Furniture and in part,
Health o meter) were not registered in these offerings, the Fund has the ability
under Rule 144 of the  Securities  Act of 1933 to sell  publicly  traded  equity
securities held by it for at least two years on the open market,  subject to the
volume  restrictions  set forth in that rule.  The Rule 144 volume  restrictions
generally are not applicable to equity  securities of  non-affiliated  companies
held by the Fund for at least three years  (currently,  SFX  Broadcasting).  The
Fund in certain cases has agreed not to make any sales of equity  securities for
a specified hold-back period following a public offering.


<PAGE>


    The Investment Adviser reviews each portfolio company's financial statements
quarterly.  In addition,  the Investment Adviser routinely reviews and discusses
financial  and  operating  results  with the  company's  management  and,  where
appropriate,  attends board of director meetings. In some cases, representatives
of the  Investment  Adviser,  acting  on  behalf  of the  Fund  (and  affiliated
investors where applicable), serve as one or more of the directors on the boards
of  portfolio  companies.  The  Fund  may,  from  time to time,  make  follow-on
investments  to  the  extent  necessary  to  protect  or  enhance  its  existing
investments.

Results of Operations

Investment Income and Expenses

    For the nine months ended  September 30, 1995, the Fund had a net investment
loss of $340,338,  as compared to net investment  income of $10,674,143  for the
same period in 1994. The total  investment  income earned on investments for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1995 was  $5,348,099 of which  $4,096,646  was
earned from  Mezzanine  Investments  and  $1,251,453,  was earned from Temporary
Investments.  For the same period in 1994,  total  investment  income  earned on
investments  was  $16,296,010  of which  $15,877,452  was earned from  Mezzanine
Investments and $418,558 was earned from Temporary Investments.

    The decrease in the nine months ending 1995 net investment income versus the
comparative  period in 1994 reflects the 1994 recognition of prior year's income
from Petco Animal Supplies. In addition,  this decrease in net investment income
was  partially due to higher legal and  professional  fees and higher legal fees
incurred on behalf of the Independent General Partners'. Additionally, sales and
conversions  of  income-producing   mezzanine   investments,   offset  by  lower
Investment  Advisory Fees and Fund  Administration Fees have also contributed to
the decrease in net investment  income.  The gradual  economic  recovery and the
higher  level of consumer  and  business  confidence  has improved the sales and
profit  levels  of some of the  Fund's  portfolio  companies.  As long as  these
business and economic  conditions  improve,  they should continue to improve the
Fund's performance.

    For the three months ended September 30, 1995, the Fund had a net investment
loss from  operations  of  $279,263,  as  compared to net  investment  income of
$94,875  for the same  period in 1994.  The total  investment  income  earned on
investments  for the three months ended  September  30, 1995 was  $1,225,766  of
which  $704,947 was earned from  Mezzanine  Investments  and $520,819 was earned
from Temporary Investments. For the same period in 1994, total investment income
earned on  investments  was  $1,940,540  of which  $1,869,168  was  earned  from
Mezzanine Investments and $71,372 was earned from Temporary Investments.

    The decrease in the three month ending 1995 net investment income versus the
comparative  period in 1994 reflects lower interest income,  partially offset by
lower  legal  and  professional   fees,   Investment   Advisory  Fees  and  Fund
Administration Fees.

    Major  expenses for the period ending  September 30, 1995 consisted of legal
and professional fees,  Investment  Advisory Fees, Fund  Administration Fees and
loan fees.


<PAGE>


    Professional  fees paid by the Fund consist primarily of legal fees incurred
in  conjunction  with  litigation.  Professional  fees for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 were  $1,402,131  and $584,194,  respectively.  This
increase is attributable to litigation expenses incurred and legal fees required
to be advanced by the Fund in connection  with the litigation  described in Note
12 to the Financial  Statements.  For the three months ended  September 30, 1995
and 1994, professional fees were $165,587 and $178,400, respectively.

    The Investment Adviser and Fund Administrator  receive their compensation on
a quarterly basis. Total Investment Advisory Fees paid to the Investment Adviser
for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1995 was  $2,197,065  compared  with
$2,741,152  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1994.  For the three months
ended  September  30,  1995 and  1994,  the Fund  paid  $690,976  and  $909,354,
respectively,  in Investment  Advisory  Fees. The fee is calculated at an annual
rate  of 1% of  assets  under  management,  subject  to  certain  reductions  as
specified in the Fund's  Partnership  Agreement with a minimum annual payment of
$1,200,000.  The decrease in 1995 as compared to 1994 Investment Advisory Fee is
a  direct  result  of  the  reductions  in  outstanding  borrowings,   sales  of
investments, returns of capital to partners and realized losses on investments.

    The total Fund  Administration  Fee paid to the Fund  Administrator  for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1995 was  $1,259,424  and is  calculated at an
annual  rate of  0.45% of net  offering  proceeds  reduced  by  one-half  of the
realized loss and distributions of capital.  For the nine months ended September
30, 1994, the Fund Administration Fee was $1,383,818. For the three months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Fund paid $410,498 and $459,633,  respectively,
in Fund Administrative Fees.

    Beginning October 19, 1995, the calculation of the Fund  Administration  Fee
changed to the sum of $300,000 per year plus all actual  out-of-pocket  expenses
incurred on behalf of the Fund by the Fund Administrator (excluding compensation
for  the  executive  officers  of  the  Fund  Administrator),  but  in no  event
exceeding, in aggregate,  the annual amount of $2.0 million.  Out-of-pocket Fund
expenses  consist of accounting,  audits,  printing,  tax  preparation and other
administrative services.

    Loan fees consist of fees on the unused portion of the Fund's facility, loan
administration  fees,  amortization  of the loan  advisory and facility fees and
various miscellaneous fees attributable to the facility.  Loan fees for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1995 and 1994,  totalled  $555,145  and  $586,624,
respectively.  The decrease of $32,480 for the nine months ended  September  30,
1995 versus the same period in 1994 is primarily due to reductions of the Credit
Facilities as described in Note 4 to the Financial Statements. Loan Fees for the
three months ended  September 30, 1995 and 1994 totalled  $187,661 and $187,939,
respectively.

Net Assets

    The Fund's net assets decreased by $103,939,551 during the nine months ended
September  30, 1995,  due to net realized  gains of  $112,848,806  offset by net
unrealized  depreciation  of $30,162,528 a net  investment  loss of $340,338 and
cash distributions of $186,329,148

    The Fund's  valuation of the Common Stock of  Celebrity,  General  Nutrition
Companies,  Health o meter, Petco, Playtex, SFX Broadcasting,  Stanley Furniture
and Walter Industries reflect their closing market price at September 29, 1995.

    The General Nutrition  Companies Inc.,  Health o meter (in part),  Petco and
Playtex  securities  held  by the  Fund  are  restricted  securities  under  the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission's  Rule 144 and can only be sold under that
rule,  in a registered  public  offering,  or pursuant to an exemption  from the
registration  requirement.  In addition,  resale in some cases is  restricted by
lockup or other agreements.  The Fund may be considered an affiliate of Health o
meter and Stanley Furniture under the Securities and Exchange  Commission's Rule
144, and therefore, any resale of Health o meter or Stanley Furniture securities
under Rule 144 is limited by the volume  limitations in that rule.  Accordingly,
the values  referred to in the financial  statements  for the remaining  General
Nutrition Companies,  Inc., Health o meter, Petco, Playtex and Stanley Furniture
securities  held by the Fund do not  necessarily  represent  the prices at which
these securities could currently be sold.

    As overall economic,  market and business conditions improve,  the sales and
profit  levels of some of the Fund's  companies  have  increased,  resulting  in
higher valuations for some of the Fund's equity  investments,  primarily General
Nutrition Companies, Inc. and to a lesser extent Petco Animal Supplies.

Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation and Non-Accrual of Investments

    For the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  the Fund  recorded  net
unrealized   depreciation  of  $30,162,528  as  compared  to  a  net  unrealized
depreciation  of $65,785,478 for the same period in 1994. On September 30, 1995,
the Fund's  cumulative  net  unrealized  depreciation  on  investments  totalled
$27,579,857.

    For the three  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  the Fund  recorded  net
unrealized  depreciation of $60,126,558 compared to net unrealized  appreciation
of $27,805,497 for the same period in 1994.


<PAGE>


    The Managing General Partner and Investment  Adviser review the valuation of
the Fund's portfolio investments that do not have a readily ascertainable market
value on a  quarterly  basis with final  approval  from the  Individual  General
Partners.  Portfolio  Investments are valued at original cost plus accrued value
in the  case of  original  issue  discount  or  deferred  pay  securities.  Such
investments  will be revalued if there is an  objective  basis for doing so at a
different  price.  Investments  will be  written  down in value if the  Managing
General Partner and Investment Adviser believe adverse credit  developments of a
significant nature require a write-down of such securities.  Investments will be
written  up in  value  only  if  there  has  been  an arms  length  third  party
transaction to justify the increased valuation.

    A majority of the Fund's assets (at cost) are invested in private  placement
securities  for which there are no  ascertainable  market  values.  Although the
Managing  General  Partner and  Investment  Adviser  use their best  judgment in
estimating the fair value of these investments,  there are inherent  limitations
in any  estimation  technique.  Therefore,  the fair value  estimates  presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amount which the Fund could realize
in a current transaction.

    The information presented herein is based on pertinent information available
to the Managing General Partner and Investment Adviser as of September 30, 1995.
Although the Managing  General  Partner and Investment  Adviser are not aware of
any factors not disclosed herein that would  significantly  affect the estimated
fair value amounts,  such amounts have not been  comprehensively  revalued since
that time, and the current  estimated fair value of these  investments  may have
changed significantly since that point in time.

    Due to the substantial  increase in the fair value of the Fund's  investment
securities of General  Nutrition  Companies,  Inc., over 44% of the Fund's total
assets (on a fair value basis) are  represented  by this issuer at September 30,
1995.  Future  results will be  significantly  affected by changes in the market
value of General Nutrition Companies' Common Stock.

    For additional information, please refer to the Supplemental Schedule of 
Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation (Schedule 2) on pages 35 - 36.

Realized Gains and Losses

    The net realized gain on investments for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 was $112,848,806 compared to a net realized gain of $6,802,953 for the same
period in 1994.

    For additional  information,  please refer to the  Supplemental  Schedule of
Realized Gains and Losses (Schedule 1) on page 34.

Cash Distributions

    On November 3, 1995,  the  Individual  General  Partners  approved the third
quarter 1995 cash distribution  totalling  $590,917,  which consists of $371,285
from return of capital and $446,115 from net  investment  income from  Temporary
Investments partially offset by a net investment loss of $226,483 from Mezzanine
Investments  during the third quarter.  The total amount  distributed to Limited
Partners was $584,987 or $1.20 per Unit. The Managing  General Partner  received
$5,930,  representing  its 1% interest in the Fund. This cash  distribution  was
paid on November 14, 1995.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

   On June 26, 1995, General Nutrition  Companies,  Inc., a Delaware Corporation
("GNC" or the "Company"),  a Portfolio Company in ML-Lee  Acquisition Fund, L.P.
(the "Fund"), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (File No. 33-93954) for the registration of up to 11,500,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock including 1,500,000 shares of the Company's
Common  Stock  which may be sold  pursuant to the  Underwriters'  over-allotment
option.  All the shares  were  offered by certain  Selling  Shareholders  of the
Company, including the Fund.


<PAGE>


   The Registration  Statement was declared  effective on July 19, 1995, and the
Fund sold an aggregate  of  2,994,492  shares of GNC Common Stock at the initial
closing,  of which  2,571,038  shares were issued upon  conversion of the Fund's
convertible  subordinated  promissory  notes and  warrants to  purchase  423,454
shares were sold to the Underwriters  who, in turn,  exercised such Warrants and
sold the  underlying  shares  to the  public.  In  addition,  the  Underwriters'
over-allotment  option  was  exercised  on  August  1, 1995 and the Fund sold an
additional  449,174 shares of GNC Common Stock,  all of such shares being issued
upon  conversion  of  the  Fund's  convertible  subordinated  promissory  notes.
Subsequent to the sale,  all remaining  GNC  Concertible  Notes held by the Fund
were converted into Common Stock.

   All of the shares were sold at a net price of $33.775  per share  ($35.00 per
share less underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.225 per share). The Fund
sold the  warrants at a net price per share of $28.775 (net price per share less
the  exercise   price  per  warrant).   The  Fund  received  total  proceeds  of
$114,192,521,  of which $102,007,632 was for the sale of the 3,020,212 shares of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of the  Subordinated  Notes, and $12,184,889
was for the sale of the  shares  underlying  the  warrants  (net of the  warrant
exercise price of $5.00 per share). These cash proceeds,  equal to approximately
$231.90 per $1,000 Unit, were  distributed to those Limited Partners of the Fund
of record as of the dates of such sales in a special Cash  Distribution  made on
August 14, 1995.

    On November 1, 1995, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger,  Duro-Test
Corporation  effected  a merger  pursuant  to which  Duro-Test  (the  "surviving
company") was aquired by a third party for approximately  $33 million.  Proceeds
received by the Fund from this merger were  $4,614,585,  of which  $1,758,974 is
held in escrow for potential indemnification costs of the surviving company, its
shareholders  and directors from losses  resulting from  misrepresentations  and
breaches of warranty,  in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger.  The
Fund will realize a loss on the sale of Duro-Test of $30,739,290.
