WESTMED VENTURE PARTNERS 2, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.     Organization and Purpose

WestMed Venture Partners 2, L.P. (the  "Partnership")  was formed under Delaware
law in April 1988. The Partnership  operates as a business  development  company
under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended.  The  Partnership  is a
closed-end partnership and accordingly its units of limited partnership interest
("Units") are not  redeemable by the  Partnership.  A total of 38,727 Units were
sold to limited  partners  ("Limited  Partners"  and together  with the Managing
General Partner (as hereinafter defined), the "Partners") at $500 per Unit.

The general partners of the Partnership  include two individuals (the  
"Independent  General  Partners") and the managing general partner,  WestMed 
Venture  Management 2, L.P., a Delaware limited  partnership  (the "Managing  
General Partner" and collectively with the Independent General Partners,  the 
"General  Partners").  The general partner of the Managing General Partner is 
Medical Venture Holdings,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  affiliated with 
Oppenheimer & Co., Inc.  ("Opco").  The limited partners of the Managing General
Partner are Oppenheimer Holdings,  Inc., MVP Holdings,  Inc. and BSW, Inc., a 
Delaware corporation owned by John A. Balkoski,  Philippe L. Sommer and Howard 
S. Wachtler.  Alsacia Venture  Management,  Inc. (the  "Sub-Manager"),  a 
corporation controlled  by Philippe L. Sommer,  is the  sub-manager  of the  
Partnership  pursuant to a  sub-management  agreement  among the Partnership,  
the Managing  General  Partner and the  Sub-Manager.  The  Sub-Manager  has 
been  retained by the Managing  General Partner to assist the Managing General 
Partner in the performance of its duties to the Partnership. 

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

The Partnership's  objective is to achieve  long-term capital  appreciation from
its portfolio of venture capital investments, consisting of companies engaged in
the health care industry.  The Partnership is scheduled to terminate on December
31,  1998.  However,  the  General  Partners  can  extend the term for up to two
additional  two-year periods,  if they determine that such extensions are in the
best interest of the Partnership.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Valuation of  Investments - Portfolio  investments  are carried at fair value as
determined  quarterly by the Managing  General  Partner under the supervision of
the Independent  General  Partners.  The fair value of  publicly-held  portfolio
securities  is adjusted to the closing  public market price for the last trading
day  of  the  accounting  period  discounted  for  sales  restrictions.  Factors
considered in the determination of an appropriate

<PAGE>


WESTMED VENTURE PARTNERS 2, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


discount include, underwriter lock-up or Rule 144 trading restrictions,  insider
status where the Partnership either has a representative serving on the board of
directors of the portfolio  company under  consideration or is greater than a 5%
shareholder  thereof,  and  other  liquidity  factors  such  as the  size of the
Partnership's position in a given company compared to the trading history of the
public security.  Privately-held  portfolio securities are carried at cost until
significant  developments  affecting the portfolio  company  provide a basis for
change in  valuation.  The fair value of private  securities  is adjusted (i) to
reflect  meaningful  third-party  transactions in the private market and (ii) to
reflect  significant  progress or slippage in the  development  of the company's
business  such that cost 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. For portfolio  investments,  transactions are recorded on the date which
the Partnership obtains an enforceable right to demand the securities or payment
thereof.  Realized  gains  and  losses on  investments  sold are  computed  on a
specific identification basis.

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

Income Taxes - No provision  for income taxes has been made since all income and
losses are  allocable  to the Partners for  inclusion  in their  respective  tax
returns.  The Partnership's net assets for financial  reporting  purposes differ
from its net  assets  for tax  purposes.  Net  unrealized  depreciation  of $2.3
million at September  30,  1996,  which was  recorded  for  financial  statement
purposes, was not recognized for tax purposes.  Additionally,  from inception to
September 30, 1996, other timing  differences  totaling $2.3 million,  primarily
relating  to  original  sales  commissions  paid and other  costs of selling the
Units, have been recorded on the Partnership's financial statements but have not
yet been deducted for tax purposes.

3.     Allocations of Partnership Profits and Losses

Pursuant to the Partnership's agreement of limited partnership,  as amended (the
"Partnership  Agreement"),  the  Partnership's net income and net realized gains
from all sources are allocated to all  Partners,  in proportion to their capital
contributions,  until all Partners have been  allocated an amount (the "Priority
Return")  equal  to 6% per  annum,  simple  interest,  on their  total  Adjusted
Invested  Capital;  i.e.,  original  capital  contributions  reduced by previous
distributions.  Thereafter,  net income  and net  realized  gains  from  venture
capital  investments  in excess of the amount used to cover the Priority  Return
are  allocated  20% to the Managing  General  Partner and 80% to all Partners in
proportion  to their  capital  contributions.  Any net income  from  non-venture
capital investments in excess of the amount used to cover the Priority Return is
allocated to all Partners in proportion to their capital contributions. Realized
losses  are   allocated  to  all  Partners  in   proportion   to  their  capital
contributions.  However, if realized gains had been previously  allocated in the
80-20 ratio,  then losses are  allocated in the reverse  order in which  profits
were allocated.  From its inception to September 30, 1996, the Partnership had a
$3.8 million net loss from its venture capital  investments,  including $240,000
of interest and other income from portfolio investments.

4.     Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement,  the Managing General Partner is entitled
to receive a one-time venture capital fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds from
the sale of Units. Such fee is incurred as portfolio investments are made in the
proportion of the cost of each portfolio investment to the net proceeds from the
sale of Units. Venture capital fees incurred are recorded as a cost of acquiring
the portfolio  investment.  The  Partnership  incurred  venture  capital fees of
$61,173 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996.  Cumulative  venture
capital fees incurred from inception to September 30, 1996 totaled $882,000.

Pursuant to a  management  agreement  between the  Partnership  and the Managing
General Partner, the Managing General Partner is responsible for the management,
administrative  and  certain  investment  advisory  services  necessary  for the
operation of the  Partnership.  For such services,  the Managing General Partner
receives  a  management  fee at the  annual  rate of 2% of the lesser of the net
assets of the  Partnership or the net  contributed  capital of the  Partnership;
i.e., gross capital contributions to the Partnership (net of selling commissions
and  organizational  expenses)  reduced  by  capital  distributed.  Such  fee is
determined and payable  quarterly.  The  compensation of the Sub-Manager is paid
directly by the Managing General Partner.

For services  rendered to the Partnership,  each of the two Independent  General
Partners  receives a $5,000 annual fee and  reimbursement  for all out-of-pocket

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In September  1996, the  Partnership  made follow-on  investments  totaling $1.1
million  (including  venture capital fees of $61,173) in two existing  portfolio
companies.  From its inception  through  September 30, 1996, the Partnership had
invested an aggregate of $15.4  million in ten  portfolio  companies  (including
acquisition  costs and venture  capital fees  totaling  $981,000),  representing
approximately  83%  of  the  original  $17.3  million  of  net  proceeds  to the
Partnership.

At  September  30,  1996,  the  Partnership  held $5.0  million in cash and cash
equivalents:  $4.8 million in short-term securities with maturities of less than
one year and $213,000 in an  interest-bearing  cash  account.  Such  investments
provide the Partnership with the liquidity  necessary to make new investments in
venture situations, as opportunities arise, and to make follow-on investments in
existing portfolio  companies when required.  The Partnership earned $75,000 and
$223,000  of interest  from its  short-term  investments  for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996,  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 such securities.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on November 12, 1996, the General Partners
approved a cash distribution to Partners totaling  $3,012,100.  Limited Partners
will receive $2,981,979,  or $77 per Unit, and the General Partners will receive
$30,121.  The  distribution  will be paid in January 1997 to Limited Partners of
record on December 31, 1996.

It  is  anticipated  that  funds  needed  to  cover  the  Partnership's   future
investments and operating expenses will be obtained from existing cash reserves,
interest and other investment income and from proceeds received from the sale of
portfolio investments.

Results of Operations

For the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1996, the  Partnership  had a
net  realized   loss  from   operations   of  $1.1  million  and  $1.2  million,
respectively.  For the three and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  the
Partnership  had a net  realized  loss from  operations  of $10,000 and $26,000,
respectively.  Net realized gain or loss from operations is comprised of (i) net
realized gain or loss from portfolio  investments and (ii) net investment income
or loss (interest, dividends and other income less operating expenses).

Realized  Gains and Losses from  Portfolio  Investments - For the three and nine
months ended  September 30, 1996, the  Partnership had a $1 million net realized
loss from its portfolio investments.  In September 1996, Hepatix, Inc. completed
a post-bankruptcy  financing and recapitalization.  As a result, the Partnership
wrote-off its $1,025,000 investment in the company's common stock.

The Partnership  had no realized gains or losses from its portfolio  investments
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.

Investment  Income and Expenses - For the three months ended  September 30, 1996
and 1995, the  Partnership  had a net investment  loss  (investment  income less
operating  expenses) of $52,000 and $10,000,  respectively.  The increase in net
investment loss for the 1996 period compared to the same period in 1995 included
a $23,000  decrease in income earned from portfolio  investments  resulting from
the  write-off  of accrued  interest  receivable  on  promissory  notes due from
Hepatix.  Additionally contributing to the increase in net investment loss was a
$21,000 decrease in interest earned from short-term investments,  which resulted
from reduced  interest rates and a decrease in funds available for investment in
such  securities  during the 1996  period.  The decline in funds  available  for
investment in short-term  securities primarily was due to follow-on  investments
made in existing portfolio companies.

Net  investment  loss for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995 was
$136,000 and $26,000,  respectively. The increase in net investment loss for the
1996 period includes a $72,000 decrease in interest from short-term investments,
primarily  resulting  from  reduced  interest  rates  and a  decrease  in  funds
available for investment in such securities during the 1996 period and a $12,000
decrease in income from portfolio  investments primarily due to the write-off of
Hepatix accrued interest,  as discussed above. Also contributing to the increase
in net investment  loss for the 1996 period  compared to the same period in 1995
was a $43,000  increase in professional  fees,  primarily due to increased legal
fees relating to the  preparation  of a proxy  statement in connection  with the
Special Meeting of Limited Partners held on June 21, 1996.  Partially offsetting
the  increase in legal fees was a $15,000  reduction in the  management  fee, as
discussed below.

Pursuant to a  management  agreement  between the  Partnership  and the Managing
General Partner, the Managing General Partner is responsible for the management,
administrative  and  certain  investment  advisory  services  necessary  for the
operation of the  Partnership.  For such services,  the Managing General Partner
receives a management  fee at the annual rate of 2% of the lesser of (1) the net
assets of the Partnership or (2) the net contributed capital of the Partnership;
i.e., gross capital contributions to the Partnership (net of selling commissions
and  organizational  expenses)  reduced  by  capital  distributed.  Such  fee is
determined  and paid  quarterly.  The  compensation  of the  Sub-Manager is paid
directly by the  Managing  General  Partner.  The  management  fee for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $58,000 and $64,000,  respectively.
For the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  the  management fee was
$184,000 and $199,000,  respectively. The decrease in the management fee for the
1996 periods  compared to the same periods in 1995, was due to a decrease in the
net asset value of the Partnership  for the respective 1996 periods  compared to
the 1995 periods. To the extent possible, the management fee and other operating
expenses are paid with funds  provided  from  operations.  Funds  provided  from
operations  are  obtained  from  interest and other  investment  income and from
proceeds received from the sale of portfolio investments.

Unrealized   Gains  and  Losses  and  Changes  in  Unrealized   Appreciation  or
Depreciation of Portfolio  Investments - For the nine months ended September 30,
1996, the Partnership had a $463,000 net unrealized loss, resulting from the net
downward revaluation of its portfolio investments.  Additionally,  $1,025,000 of
unrealized loss was transferred to realized loss due to the partial write-off of
the  Partnership's  investment in Hepatix,  as discussed  above.  The $1,025,000
transfer from unrealized loss to realized loss, partially offset by the $463,000
additional  unrealized loss,  resulted in a $562,000  increase in net unrealized
appreciation of investments for the nine month period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership had a $334,000 net
unrealized   loss   resulting   from  the  net  downward   revaluation   of  its
publicly-traded   securities.  As  a  result,  net  unrealized  appreciation  of
investments decreased by $334,000 for the nine month period.

Net Assets - At September  30,  1996,  the  Partnership's  net assets were $11.6
million,  reflecting a decrease of $600,000  from $12.2  million at December 31,
1995.  This  decrease  resulted  from the $1.2  million net  realized  loss from
operations partially offset by the $562,000 increase in unrealized  appreciation
of investments for the nine month period.

At  September  30,  1995,  the  Partnership's  net assets  were  $12.8  million,
reflecting a decrease of $360,000 from $13.1 million at December 31, 1994.  This
decrease resulted from the $334,000 net unrealized loss from investments and the
$26,000 net investment loss for the nine month period.

The net asset value per $500 Unit,  including an  allocation  of net  unrealized
depreciation  of  investments,  at September  30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was
$296 and  $312,  respectively.  Such  per  Unit  amounts  are  based on  average
allocations to all Limited  Partners and do not reflect specific Limited Partner
allocations,  which are determined by the original  closing date associated with
the Units held by each Limited Partner.
