presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash 
flows for such periods.  These statements should be read in conjunction 
with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 
1994.  The following notes to financial statements for activity through 
June 30, 1995 supplement those included in the Annual Report on Form 10-
K.  Allocation of income and loss to Limited and General Partners is 
based on cumulative income and loss.  Adjustments, if any, are reflected 
in the current quarter balances.

2.     Financing of Partnership Operations
       -----------------------------------

The Managing General Partners expect cash received from the liquidation 
of Partnership investments and the collection of notes receivable will 
provide the necessary liquidity to service Partnership debt and fund 
Partnership operations.  Until such future proceeds are received, the 
Partnership is dependent upon the financial support of the Managing 
General Partners to fund operations.  The Managing General Partners have 
committed to support the Partnership's working capital requirements 
through advances as necessary.

3.     Related Party Transactions
       --------------------------

Related party costs are included in costs and expenses shown on the 
Statements of Operations.  Related party costs for the six months ended

such expenses.

the company completed its initial public offering ("IPO").  In lieu of 
entering into an underwriter lockup as a result of the IPO, the 
Partnership sold its investment in the company to a private third-party 
for total proceeds of $756,590 and realized a loss of $430,449.

Aprex Corporation
- -----------------

In June 1995, Aprex Corporation filed for Chapter 11 protection under

Inc. by purchasing 83,334 Series C Preferred shares at a total cost of 
$83,334.

Coded Communications, Inc.
- --------------------------

During the second quarter of 1995, the Managing General Partners 
determined that there had been a decline in value of the Partnership's 
investments.  As a result, the Partnership realized a loss of $250,182.  
The Partnership also recorded a decrease in fair value of $21,963 to 
reflect the publicly-traded market value at June 30, 1995.

Pharmos Corporation/Oculon Corporation
- --------------------------------------

In March 1995, Oculon Corporation ("Oculon") was acquired by Pharmos 
Corporation ("Pharmos").  The Partnership's Series II Senior Preferred 
shares were canceled while the Series III Senior Preferred shares were 
exchanged for 56,776 shares of marketable, unrestricted Pharmos common 
stock.  The Partnership recorded the $42,582 cost basis of the Pharmos 
stock as a recovery from investments previously written off.  An 
increase in fair value of $143,643 reflected the market value of the 
Pharmos stock at June 30, 1995.

Quintar Corporation
- -------------------

In May 1995, the Partnership converted its $500,000 convertible note 
receivable including interest of $76,861 into 384,574 Series A Preferred 
shares in accordance with the original convertible note agreement.

Shaman Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
- ----------------------------

In February 1995, the Partnership purchased 340,833 common shares of 
Shaman Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at $4.00 per share from Eli Lilly and 
Company ("Eli Lilly").  The purchase price of $1,363,332 was financed by 
a two-year subordinated promissory note issued by Eli Lilly, secured by 
the portfolio assets of the Partnership.  The interest rate was 9% at 
June 30, 1995; interest expense of $45,046 was recorded.  The 
Partnership also recorded an increase in the change in fair value of 
$2,573,264 to reflect the market value at June 30, 1995 for its entire 
Shaman portfolio of marketable, restricted securities.

Terrapin, Inc.
- --------------

In May 1995, the Partnership issued a convertible note of $125,000 to 
Terrapin, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of KOR Electronics.

Unitech Telecom, Inc.
- ---------------------

In March 1995, the Partnership purchased 46,875 Series A Preferred 
shares from the company at a total cost of $375,000.  The purchase price 
consisted of $275,000 in cash and the conversion of a $100,000 note 
issued in May 1994.  Interest on the note was paid in cash.

YES! Entertainment Corporation
- ------------------------------

In June 1995, the company completed its IPO.  Prior to the IPO, the 
company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split.  The Partnership's 
Series B Preferred shares were converted into 66,666 common shares.  The 
Managing General Partners determined that there had been a decline in 
value of the Partnership's investment; as a result, realized loss of 
$400,002 was recorded.  The loss reflects the fact that the stock will 
be restricted for two years.

Other Equity Investments
- ------------------------

Other significant changes reflected above relate to market value 
fluctuations and the elimination of a discount relating to selling 
restrictions for publicly-traded portfolio companies.

</TABLE>
The allowance for loan losses is adjusted quarterly based upon changes 
to the portfolio size and risk profile.  Although the allowance is 
established by evaluating individual debtor repayment ability, the 
allowance represents the Managing General Partners' assessment of the 
portfolio as a whole.

6.     Short-Term Borrowings
       ---------------------

The Partnership has borrowing accounts with two financial institutions.  
At June 30, 1995, the borrowing capacity of these two accounts, which 
fluctuate based on collateral value, totaled $3,461,685; subsequent to 
quarter end, as of August 2, 1995, the borrowing capacity totaled 
$3,892,777.  The outstanding balance at June 30, 1995 was $2,806,967.  
The weighted-average interest rates for the two accounts were 8.41% and 
9.41% for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  There was no balance 
outstanding for the same period in 1994.  Interest expense of $117,099 
was recorded for the first six months of 1995.  The Partnership's 
investments in Shaman Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and SyStemix, Inc are 
pledged as collateral.

7.     Commitments
       -----------

The Partnership is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-
sheet risk in the normal course of its business.  Generally, these 
instruments are commitments for future equity fundings, venture capital 
limited partnership investments, equipment financing commitments, or 
accounts receivable lines of credit that are outstanding but not 
currently fully utilized.  As they do not represent current outstanding 
balances, these unfunded commitments are properly not recognized in the 
financial statements.  At June 30, 1995, the Partnership had unfunded 
commitments as follows:

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, net cash used by operations 
totaled $709,203.  The Partnership paid management fees of $203,213 to 
the Managing General Partners and reimbursed related parties for 
operating expenses of $286,466.  In addition, $22,477 was paid to the 
individual general partners as compensation for their services.  Other 
operating expenses of $125,629 were paid and interest income of $69,416 
was received. The Partnership also paid interest of $162,145 on 
borrowings and received $21,311 in reimbursement from a portfolio 
company for collection expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership issued 
$62,500 in notes receivable to a portfolio company in the computer 
systems and software industry and funded equity investments of $663,334 
primarily to portfolio companies in the communications, computer systems 
and software, and microelectronics industries.  Repayments of notes 
receivable and equity investments provided cash of $239,376 and 
$125,000, respectively.  Proceeds from the sales of equity investments 
were $775,842.

The Partnership had borrowing accounts with two financial institutions.  
At June 30, 1995, the borrowing capacity, which fluctuates based on 
collateral value, totaled $3,461,685.  Subsequent to quarter end, as of 
August 2, 1995, the borrowing capacity totaled $3,892,777.  The 
outstanding balance at June 30, 1995 was $2,806,967, of which $639,099 
was drawn during the first six months of 1995.  The Partnership's 
investments in SyStemix, Inc. and Shaman Pharmaceuticals, Inc. are 
pledged as collateral.

During the first half of 1995, AG Associates, Inc. and YES! 
Entertainment Corporation completed their IPOs.  Although the 
Partnership's holdings in YES! Entertainment are subject to selling 
restrictions, the IPO indicates potential future liquidity for this 
investment.  The Partnership has already sold its holdings in AG 
Associates, Inc.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1995 were $354,781.  At June 30, 
1995, the Partnership was committed to fund $855,316 in additional 
investments.  Future interest income earned on notes receivable, 
proceeds from investment sales, remaining borrowing capacity on 
borrowing accounts and General Partners support are expected to be 
adequate to fund Partnership operations through the next twelve months.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Current quarter compared to corresponding quarter in the preceding year
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income was $2,757,219 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 compared 
to a net loss of $1,255,170 during the same period in 1994.  The change 
was primarily due to a $5,200,708 increase in the change in net 
unrealized fair value of equity investments.  This change was partially 
offset by a $770,184 increase in realized losses from investment write-
downs and a $430,449 increase in net realized loss from sales of equity 
investments.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the increase in fair value of 
$4,272,576 was substantially attributable to increases in a portfolio 
company in the pharmaceuticals industry.  During the quarter ended June 
30, 1994, the decrease in fair value of $928,132 was primarily 
attributable to decreases in portfolio companies in the pharmaceuticals 
and retail/consumer products industries, partially offset by increases 
in the medical and computer systems and software industries. 

Realized losses from investment write-downs of $770,184 during the 
quarter ended June 30, 1995 primarily related to portfolio companies in 
the retail/consumer products and communications industries.  There was 
no realized loss recorded during the same period in 1994.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, net realized loss from sales of 
equity investments of $430,449 related to the sale of AG Associates, 
Inc.  There were no investment sales during the same period in 1994.

Given the inherent risk associated with the business of the Partnership, 
the future performance of the portfolio company investments may 
significantly impact future operations.

Current six months compared to corresponding six months in the preceding
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income was $1,366,941 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 
compared to a net loss of $3,589,186 during the same period in 1994.  
The change was primarily due to a $6,049,616 increase in the change in 
net unrealized fair value of equity investments, and a $103,969 decrease 
in operating expenses.  Theses changes were partially offset by a 
$768,684 increase in realized losses from investment write-downs, a 
$429,620 increase in net realized loss from sales of equity investments, 
and a $92,077 decrease in total income.

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the increase in fair value of 
$3,164,479 was substantially attributable to increases in a portfolio 
company in the pharmaceuticals industry.  During the same period in 
1994, the decrease in fair value of $2,885,137 was primarily 
attributable to portfolio companies in the pharmaceuticals and 
retail/consumer products industries, partially offset by increases in 
the medical and computer systems and software industries.

Total operating expenses were $538,773 and $642,742 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decrease was primarily 
due to lower investment operations and administrative and investor 
services expenses from lower overall portfolio activities, partially 
offset by higher interest expenses from short-term borrowings.

Realized losses from investment write-downs were $771,184 and $2,500 
during the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  
Realized losses in 1995 primarily related to portfolio companies in the 
retail/consumer products and communications industries.

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, net realized loss from sales 
of equity investments of $429,620 mainly related to the sale of AG 
Associates, Inc.  There were no investment sales during the same period 
in 1994.

Total income was $86,540 and $178,617 for the six months ended June 30, 
1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decrease was primarily due to lower 
outstanding convertible and secured notes receivable balances.
