                   WESTFIELD CAPITAL MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

              FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996



NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

     The Company was incorporated March 15, 1989 under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts to provide investment management advice.


     ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Company's policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles. This basis of accounting involves the
application of accrual accounting; consequently, revenues and gains are
recognized when earned and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.
Financial statements items are recorded at historical costs and often involve
the utilization of estimates. Consequently, financial statement items do not
necessarily represent current values.

     The significant accounting policies utilized by the Company are described
below:


     USE OF ESTIMATES

     The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such
estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date
of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may
differ from estimated amounts.


     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company has established a policy of defining cash equivalents as all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased.


     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and
accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit in
checking, savings and money market accounts. These cash and cash equivalents are
maintained with high credit quality financial institutions.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED


     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciation is provided using
the straight-line method and accelerated methods. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments
which extend the lives of the assets are capitalized. The cost of property
retired or sold, together with the related accumulated depreciation, is removed
from the appropriate accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in
operations.

     INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIPS

     The investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Accordingly, the Company recognizes its proportionate share of the income or
loss from its partnership investments in the current period and records the
income or loss as an increase or decrease in its investment.

     MANAGEMENT FEES EARNED

        The Company records asset management fees, which are based upon a
percentage of the assets under management, in the period services are rendered.

     INCOME TAXES

     The Company has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation. For Federal income
tax purposes, the undistributed taxable income of the Company at the end of its
taxable year is included in the income of the Company's stockholders in
proportion to their stock ownership.

     Massachusetts recognizes S Corporation status which allows the
undistributed taxable income of the Company to be included in the income of the
stockholders, but imposes an additional income tax on corporations with gross
receipts over six million, at a rate of 3%.


NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     The cost of property and equipment and the estimated useful lives used for
computing depreciation at September 30, 1997 and 1996 are:

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

     Westfield Capital Management Company, Inc.


                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Westfield Capital
Management Company, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related
statements of income and retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                   WESTFIELD CAPITAL MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995



NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES


     BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

     The Company was incorporated March 15, 1989 under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts to provide investment management advice.

     ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Company's policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles. This basis of accounting involves the
application of accrual accounting; consequently, revenues and gains are
recognized when earned and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.
Financial statements items are recorded at historical costs and often involve
the utilization of estimates. Consequently, financial statement items do not
necessarily represent current values.

     The significant accounting policies utilized by the Company are described
below:


     USE OF ESTIMATES

     The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such
estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date
of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may
differ from estimated amounts.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company has established a policy of defining cash equivalents as all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased.

     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and
accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit in
checking, savings and money market accounts. These cash and cash equivalents are
maintained with high credit quality financial institutions.

     MANAGEMENT FEES EARNED

     The Company records asset management fees, which are based upon a
percentage of the assets under management, in the period services are rendered.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciation is provided using
the straight-line method and accelerated methods. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments
which extend the lives of the assets are capitalized. The cost of property
retired or sold, together with the related accumulated depreciation, is removed
from the appropriate accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in
operations.

     INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIPS

     The investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Accordingly, the Company recognizes its proportionate share of the income or
loss from its partnership investments in the current period and records the
income or loss as an increase or decrease in its investment.

     INCOME TAXES

     The Company has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation. For Federal income
tax purposes, the undistributed taxable income of the Company at the end of its
taxable year is included in the income of the Company's stockholders in
proportion to their stock ownership.

     Massachusetts recognizes S Corporation status which allows the
undistributed taxable income of the Company to be included in the income of the
stockholders, but imposes an additional income tax on corporations with gross
receipts over six million, at a rate of 3%.

NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     The cost of property and equipment and the estimated useful lives used for
computing depreciation at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are:

NOTE 3 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION

officer that provides for continued payments over a ten year period commencing
with his retirement, disability or death. The payments are determined by formula
and subject to escalation clauses.

     The estimated present value of the obligation is $1,466,410 at December 31,

the net asset value of the partnership which amounted to $37,661 in 1996. The
general partner is also entitled to share in 20% of the partnership's realized
and unrealized profits at the end of each performance period (defined as "profit
share" less any losses carried over from a previous performance period). The
general partner shall also share 1% in all profits and losses of the partnership
after the maintenance fee and the "profit share".
