ML Oklahoma Venture Partners, Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was
formed on July 15, 1988 under the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act
of the State of Oklahoma.  The Partnership's operations commenced on August
14, 1989.  MLOK Co., Limited Partnership, the managing general partner of
the Partnership (the "Managing General Partner"), is an Oklahoma limited
partnership formed on July 15, 1988, the general partner of which is
Merrill Lynch Venture Capital Inc. (the "Management Company"), an indirect
subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.

The Partnership's objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by
making venture capital investments in new or developing companies,
primarily Oklahoma companies, and other special investment situations.  The
Partnership shall 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 Managing General
Partner determines the fair value of its portfolio investments by applying
consistent guidelines.  The fair value of public securities is adjusted to
the average closing public market price for the last five trading days of
the quarter less an appropriate discount for sales restrictions, the size
of the Partnership's holdings and the public market trading volume.
Private securities are carried at cost until significant developments
affecting a portfolio investment 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 clearly 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.

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.

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.

Statements of Cash Flows - The Partnership considers its interest-bearing
cash account to be cash equivalents.

Organizational Costs - Organizational costs of $47,718 are being amortized
over a sixty-month period which commenced August 14, 1989.

3.     Allocation of Partnership Profits and Losses

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, profits from venture capital
investments are allocated to all Partners in proportion to their capital
contributions until all Partners have been allocated a 10% Priority Return
from liquidated investments.  Profits in excess of this amount are
allocated 30% to the Managing General Partner and 70% to all Partners in
proportion to their capital contributions until the Managing General
Partner has been allocated 20% of the total profits from venture capital
investments.  Thereafter, profits from venture capital investments are
allocated 20% to the Managing General Partner and 80% to all Partners in
proportion to their capital contributions.  Profits from other sources are
allocated to all Partners in proportion to their capital contributions.

Losses are allocated to all Partners in proportion to their capital
contributions.  However, if profits had been previously allocated in the 70-
30 or 80-20 ratios as discussed above, then losses will be allocated in the
reverse order in which profits were allocated.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Partnership invested $175,000
in two existing portfolio companies.  From August 14, 1989 (commencement of
operations) to June 30, 1994, the Partnership had invested $8.4 million in
17 portfolio companies.  At June 30, 1994, approximately $800,000 of the
original net proceeds of $9.2 million remained available for investment.

At June 30, 1994, the Partnership held $1.2 million in cash and short-term
investments;  $747,000 in short-term investments with maturities of less
than one year and $427,000 in an interest-bearing cash account.  Interest
earned on such investments for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 was $9,000.
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.

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 proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments.

Results of Operations

Net realized gain or loss from operations is comprised of 1) net realized
gains or losses from portfolio investments sold or written-off and 2) net
investment income or loss.  For the three and six months ended June 30,
1994, the Partnership had a net realized loss from operations of $119,000
and $326,000, respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30,
1993, the Partnership had a net realized loss from operations of $26,000
and $71,000, respectively.

Realized Gains and Losses from Portfolio Investments - For the three and
six months ended June 30, 1994, the Partnership had a net realized loss of
$80,000 and $226,000, respectively.  During the three months ended June 30,
1994, the Partnership sold its investment in Sports Tactics International,
Inc. in a private transaction for $17,000, realizing a loss of $83,000.
The Partnership had written-off $350,000 of its $450,000 original
investment in Sports Tactics in prior periods.  During June 1994, the
Partnership sold 10,000 common stock warrants of Envirogen, Inc. in the
public market for $6,000, realizing a gain of $6,000.  Also during the
quarter, the Partnership's warrants to purchase common stock of C.R.
Anthony Company expired resulting in a realized loss of $2,000.  During the
three months ended March 31, 1994, the Partnership realized a $146,000 loss
from the write off of its remaining investment in Symex Corp.

There were no realized gains or losses during the six months ended June 30,
1993.

Unrealized Gains and Losses and Changes in Unrealized Appreciation or
Depreciation of Portfolio Investments - For the six months ended June 30,
1994, the Partnership had a $3.8 million unrealized gain, primarily
resulting from the upward revaluation of its investment in Silverado Foods,
Inc. as a result of its initial public offering.  Also during the six month
period, $242,000 was transferred from unrealized loss to realized loss
relating to the sale and write off of Sports Tactics and Symex, as
discussed above.  The $3.8 million unrealized gain and the $242,000 net
transfer from unrealized loss to realized loss resulted in a $4.1 million
increase in net unrealized appreciation for the six month period.

For the six months ended June 30, 1993, the Partnership had a $627,000
unrealized loss resulting from the downward revaluation of its investments
in Envirogen and Sports Tactics for the six month period.  As a result, net
unrealized appreciation of the Partnership's portfolio investments
decreased by $627,000 for the six month period.

Investment Income and Expenses - For the three months ended June 30, 1994
and 1993, the Partnership had a net investment loss of $40,000 and $26,000,
respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the
Partnership had a net investment loss of $101,000 and $71,000,
respectively.  The increase in net investment loss for the 1994 periods
compared to the 1993 periods primarily was a result of a decrease in
interest earned from the Partnership's short-term investments for the 1994
period.  Interest earned on short-term investments for the three months
ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, was $9,000 and $25,000, respectively.
Interest earned on short-term investments for the six months ended June 30,
1994 and 1993, was $20,000 and $58,000, respectively.  These decreases can
be attributed to a decrease in the amount available for investment in short-
term securities during the 1994 period.  Investments in short-term
securities in the future periods will decline as funds are used for
operating expenses and follow-on investments in existing portfolio
companies.  At June 30, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership had $1.2 million and
$3.1 million, respectively, invested in short-term securities.

The Management Company performs, or arranges for others to perform, the
management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the
Partnership.  The Management Company receives a management fee of 2.5% of
the gross capital contributions to the Partnership, reduced by selling
commissions and organizational and offering expenses paid by the
Partnership, capital distributed and realized losses, with a minimum fee of
$200,000 annually.  Such fee is determined and paid quarterly.  The
management fee for the three months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 was
$50,000 and $54,000, respectively.  The management fee for the six months
ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 was $100,000 and $108,000, respectively.  To
the extent possible, the management fee and other expenses incurred
directly by the Partnership are paid with funds provided from operations.

Net Assets - Changes to net assets resulting from operations is comprised
of 1) net realized gains and losses from operations and 2) changes to net
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of portfolio investments.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership had a net
increase in net assets resulting from operations of $3.7 million and a net
decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $697,000,
respectively.

At June 30, 1994, the Partnership's net assets were $12.1 million, an
increase of $3.7 million from $8.4 million at December 31, 1993.  This
increase resulted from the $4.1 million increase in net unrealized
appreciation from the Partnership's portfolio investments offset by the
$326,000 net realized loss from operations for the six month period.

At June 30, 1993, the Partnership's net assets were $9.3 million, a
decrease of $697,000 from $10 million at December 31, 1992.  This decrease
resulted from the $627,000 decrease in net unrealized appreciation from the
Partnership's portfolio investments and the $71,000 net realized loss from
operations for the six month period.

Gains or 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,
net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments has been
included as if the net appreciation or depreciation 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, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was $1,170 and $807,
respectively.
