WESTFORD TECHNOLOGY VENTURES, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Purpose
Westford Technology Ventures, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited
partnership formed on September 3, 1987. WTVI Co., L.P., the managing general
partner of the Partnership (the "Managing General Partner") and four individuals
(the "Individual General Partners") are the general partners of the Partnership.
Hamilton Capital Management Inc. (the "Management Company") is the general
partner of the Managing General Partner and the management company of the
Partnership. The Partnership began its principal operations on December 1, 1988.
The Partnership's objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by
making venture capital investments in new and developing companies and other
special investment situations. The Partnership will not engage in any other
business or activity. The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 1998,
subject to the right of the Individual General Partners to extend the term for
up to two additional two-year periods.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Valuation of Investments - Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost
which approximates market. Portfolio investments are carried at fair value as
determined quarterly by the Managing General Partner under the supervision of
the Individual General Partners. The fair value of publicly-held portfolio
securities is adjusted to the closing public market price for the last trading
day of each quarter discounted by a factor of 0% to 50% 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 or is
greater than a 10% shareholder, 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 1) to
reflect meaningful third-party transactions in the private market or 2) to
reflect significant progress or slippage in the development of the company's
business such that cost is no longer reflective of fair value. As a venture
capital investment fund, the Partnership's portfolio investments involve a high
degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses. The
Managing General Partner considers such risks in determining the fair value of
the Partnership's portfolio investments.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the accrual
method. Portfolio investments are recorded on the trade date, the date the
Partnership obtains an enforceable right to demand the securities or payment
therefor. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are computed on a
specific identification basis.
WESTFORD TECHNOLOGY VENTURES, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - continued
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 income
tax returns. The Partnership's net assets for financial reporting purposes
differ from its net assets for tax purposes. Net unrealized depreciation of
$1,756,694 at June 30, 1997, which was recorded for financial statement
purposes, was not recognized for tax purposes. From inception to June 30, 1997,
timing differences relating to net realized gains totaling $984,700 have been
recorded on the Partnership's financial statements but have not yet been
recorded on the Partnership's tax return. Additionally, syndication costs
relating to the selling of Units totaling $1.2 million were charged to partners'
capital on the financial statements but have not been deducted or charged
against partners' capital for tax purposes.
Cash Equivalents - The Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments
(primarily money market funds) to be cash equivalents.
3. Allocation of Partnership Profits and Losses
The Partnership Agreement provides that the Managing General Partner will be
allocated, on a cumulative basis over the life of the Partnership, 20% of the
Partnership's aggregate investment income and net realized gains from venture
capital investments, provided that such amount is positive. All other gains and
losses of the Partnership are allocated among all the Partners, including the
Managing General Partner, in proportion to their respective capital
contributions to the Partnership.
4. Related Party Transactions
The Management Company is responsible for the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Partnership. For these services, the
Management Company receives a management fee at an annual rate of 2.5% of the
gross capital contributions to the Partnership (net of selling commissions and
organizational expenses paid by the Partnership), reduced by capital distributed
and realized losses, with a minimum fee of $200,000 per annum. Such fee is
determined quarterly and paid monthly.
5. Independent General Partners' Fees
As compensation for services rendered to the Partnership, each of the four
Independent General Partners receives $10,000 annually in quarterly installments
and $1,000 for each meeting of the Independent General Partners attended, plus
out-of-pocket expenses.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1997, the Partnership held $132,400 in an interest-bearing cash
account. The Partnership earned $2,800 and $10,500 of interest for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. Interest earned from short-term
investments in future periods is subject to fluctuations in short-term interest
rates and changes in amounts available for investment in short term securities.
During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership made a $300,000
follow-on investment in Spectrix Corporation. The Partnership has fully invested
its original net proceeds of $10.5 million and will not make investments in any
new portfolio companies. However, the Partnership may make additional follow-on
investments in existing portfolio companies when required.
Funds needed to cover the Partnership's future follow-on investments and
operating expenses will be obtained from existing cash reserves, interest and
other income from portfolio investments and proceeds from the sale of portfolio
investments.
Results of Operations
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership had a net
realized loss from operations of $86,100 and $150,700, respectively. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership had a net realized
gain from operations of $587,700 and $2.8 million, respectively. Net realized
gain or loss from operations is comprised of 1) net realized gain or loss from
portfolio investments and 2) net investment income or loss (investment income
less operating expenses).
Realized Gains and Losses from Portfolio Investments - For the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership had a net realized loss from its
portfolio investments of $31,700 relating to the final escrow payment received
in connection with the 1996 merger of EIS International, Inc. and Cybernetics
Systems, Inc. In June 1997, the Partnership received 16,682 common shares of
EIS, representing 100% of the shares held in escrow. However, in connection with
a settlement agreement among EIS and the former Cybernetics shareholders, the
Partnership received $1,320, in July 1997, representing only a portion of the
$32,985 balance held. As a result, the Partnership realized a loss of $31,665
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership had a net
realized gain from its portfolio investments of $657,100 and $2.9 million,
respectively. In May 1996, the Partnership sold its remaining 21,673 shares of
Cincinnati Bell Inc. common stock for $1.1 million, realizing a gain of
$657,100. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, EIS International, Inc.,
a public company, merged with Cybernetics Systems International, Inc. In
exchange for its Cybernetics holdings, the Partnership received $460,245 in
cash, 206,267 shares of restricted EIS common stock and warrants to purchase
29,015 shares of EIS common stock at $1.41 per share. Of the total merger
consideration, $32,985 of cash and 16,682 shares of EIS common stock were placed
in escrow and released in June and July 1997, as discussed above. The
Partnership realized a gain of $2.2 million in connection with the merger during
the first quarter of 1996.
Investment Income and Expenses - Net investment loss for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $54,400 and $69,400, respectively. The decrease in
net investment loss for the 1997 period as compared to the same period in 1996,
resulted primarily from a $22,000 increase in income from portfolio investments
partially offset by a $14,000 decrease in interest from short term investments.
Additionally, operating expenses declined by $7,000 for the 1997 period compared
to the 1996 period. The increase in income from portfolio investments relates to
the additional promissory notes of Spectrix Corporation held by the Partnership
during the 1997 period compared to the same period in 1996. The decrease in
interest from short-term investments primarily is due to a reduction in funds
available for investment in such securities during the 1997 period. The decrease
in operating expenses resulted primarily from reduced professional fees during
the 1997 period.
Net investment loss for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $119,000
and $147,600, respectively. The decrease in net investment loss for the 1997
period compared to the 1996 period primarily resulted from a $39,200 increase in
income from portfolio investments related to the promissory notes of Spectrix
Corporation, as discussed above, partially offset by a $13,500 decrease in
interest from short-term securities, reflecting the reduction of funds available
for investment in such securities during the 1997 period. Additionally,
operating expenses declined by only $2,900 for the 1997 period compared to the
1996 period.
The Management Company is responsible for the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Partnership. The Management Company
receives a management fee at the annual rate of 2.5% of the gross capital
contributions to the Partnership (net of selling commissions and organizational
expenses paid by the Partnership), reduced by capital distributed and realized
losses, with a minimum annual fee of $200,000. The management fee for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $56,000 for both periods. The management
fee for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $112,000 for both
periods. To the extent possible, the management fee and other expenses incurred
directly by the Partnership are paid with funds provided from operations. Funds
provided from operations primarily are obtained from interest received from
short-term investments, income earned from portfolio investments and proceeds
received from the sale of portfolio investments.
Unrealized Gains and Losses and Changes in Unrealized Appreciation or
Depreciation of Portfolio Investments - For the six months ended June 30, 1997,
the Partnership had a $223,500 unrealized gain, resulting from the net upward
revaluation of its investment in EIS International, Inc., reflecting the
increased public market price of the company's common stock at the end of the
period. Accordingly, net unrealized appreciation of investments increased by
$223,500 for the six month period.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership had a $2.0 million net
unrealized gain resulting the net upward revaluation of its publicly-traded
securities. Additionally during the six month period, $2.8 million was
transferred from unrealized gain to realized gain due to the sale of Cybernetics
and Cincinnati Bell, as discussed above. The $2.8 million transfer to realized
gain, partially offset by the additional $2.0 million unrealized gain, resulted
in an $844,200 decrease in net unrealized appreciation of investments for the
six month period.
Net Assets - Changes in net assets resulting from operations are comprised of
1) net realized gain or loss from operations and
2) changes in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.
At June 30, 1997, the Partnership's net assets were $9.1 million, up $72,800
from $9.0 million at December 31, 1996. The $72,800 increase was comprised of
the $223,500 increase to net unrealized appreciation of investments, partially
offset by the $150,700 net realized loss from operations for the six month
period.
At June 30, 1996, the Partnership's net assets were $12.7 million, up $1.9
million from $10.8 million at December 31, 1995. The $1.9 million increase was
comprised of the $2.8 million net realized gain from operations offset by the
$844,200 decrease to net unrealized appreciation of investments for the six
month period.
Gains and losses from investments are allocated to the Partners' capital
accounts when realized in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (see Note 3
of Notes to Financial Statements). However, for purposes of calculating the net
asset value per unit of limited partnership interest ("Unit"), net unrealized
appreciation or depreciation of investments has been included as if it had been
realized and allocated to the Limited Partners in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement. Pursuant to such calculation, the net asset value per
$1,000 Unit at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 was $792 and $790,
respectively.
