ML OKLAHOMA VENTURE PARTNERS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.       Organization and Purpose

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
does 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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


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  appreciation  of $2.8
million at March 31, 1995, which was recorded for financial  statement purposes,
was not recognized for tax purposes.

Additionally,  from  inception  to March  31,  1995,  other  timing  differences
totaling $1.2 million relating to the 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.

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

Organizational  Costs -  Organizational  costs of $47,718 were  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.

4.       Related Party Transactions

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 at an annual rate
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 annual fee
of $200,000. Such fee is determined and paid quarterly.

5.       Limitation on Operating Expenses

The Management Company has undertaken to the Partnership that it will reduce its
management  fee or otherwise  reimburse  the  Partnership  in order to limit the
annual operating  expenses of the Partnership,  exclusive of the management fee,
to an amount equal to $203,720.

6.       Independent General Partners' Fees

Independent   General   Partners   receives   $16,000   annually  in   quarterly
installments,  $1,000 for each meeting of the General Partners attended,  $1,000
for each committee  meeting attended ($500 if a committee meeting is held on the
same day as a meeting of the General  Partners)  and $500 for  meetings  held by
telephone conference.

7.       Cash Distribution

On March 16, 1995,  the General  Partners  approved a cash  distribution  to the
Limited  Partners  totaling  $2,049,600,  or $200 per Unit. The distribution was
paid on April 17, 1995 to Limited Partners of record on March 31, 1995.

8.       Interim Financial Statements

In the opinion of MLOK Co., Limited Partnership, the managing general partner of
the Partnership,  the unaudited  financial  statements as of March 31, 1995, and
for the three month period then ended, reflect all adjustments necessary for the
fair presentation of the results of the interim periods.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Partnership  received net cash
proceeds  of  $2  million  from  the  sale  of  certain  portfolio  investments;
$1,929,640  from the sale of BACE  Manufacturing  Inc. and $26,287 from the 1994
sale of QuanTem  Laboratories,  Inc. As a result, on March 16, 1995, the General
Partners approved a cash  distribution to Limited Partners totaling  $2,049,600,
or $200 per $1,000 Unit. The  distribution was paid on April 17, 1995 to Limited
Partners of record on March 31, 1995.

During the three months ended March 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  made a $100,000
follow-on  investment in Data Critical Corp. From August 14, 1989  (commencement
of operations) to March 31, 1995, the  Partnership had invested $9 million in 18
portfolio  companies,  representing  98% of the  original  net  proceeds  to the
Partnership.  The Partnership does not intend to purchase investments in any new
portfolio companies.

At March 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  held $2.7  million of cash and  short-term
investments;  $2 million in short-term  investments with maturities of less than
one year and $689,000 in an  interest-bearing  cash account.  Interest earned on
such investments for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was $19,000. 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.  As discussed above, $2 million of the $2.7 million of cash and
short-term investments was distributed to the Limited Partners in April 1995.

Funds  needed to cover  the  Partnership's  operating  expenses  and any  future
follow-on  investments in existing companies will be obtained from existing cash
reserves,  interest and other  investment  income and proceeds  from the sale of
portfolio investments.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,  the  Partnership  had a net
realized  gain from  operations  of $1.5  million and a net  realized  loss from
operations of $207,000,  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  (interest  and dividend  income less  operating
expenses).

Realized  Gains and Losses from  Portfolio  Investments  - For the three  months
ended March 31, 1995, the  Partnership had a $1.6 million net realized gain from
portfolio investments.  In February 1995, the Partnership sold its investment in
BACE  Manufacturing,  Inc. in a private  transaction  for  $2,208,087,  of which
$278,447 is being held in escrow. The Partnership recorded a $69,612 reserve for
contingencies  on the escrow  funds,  which  resulted  in the  recognition  of a
$1,599,475 realized gain from this transaction for the period.

During the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Partnership had a $146,000 net
realized loss  relating to the  write-off of its  remaining  investment in Symex
Corp.

Investment  Income and  Expenses - For the three months ended March 31, 1995 and
1994,  the  Partnership  had a net  investment  loss  of  $80,000  and  $61,000,
respectively.  The increase in net investment  loss for the 1995 period compared
to the 1994 period  primarily  is due to a decrease in interest and other income
earned from  portfolio  investments  which  totaled  $11,000 and $35,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  This decrease is due
to a reduction  in amounts  invested  in interest  bearing  debt  securities  of
portfolio companies during the 1995 period compared to the 1994 period.

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 March 31, 1995 and 1994 was $50,000 for each period.  The  management  fee
will  remain  fixed  at  $50,000  per  quarter  until  the  termination  of  the
Partnership.  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 for the period resulted from interest
and other  investment  income  and  proceeds  received  from the sale of certain
portfolio investments.

Unrealized   Gains  and  Losses  and  Changes  in  Unrealized   Appreciation  or
Depreciation  of  Portfolio  Investments  - For the three months ended March 31,
1995,  the  Partnership  had a $250,000 net  unrealized  gain from its portfolio
investments primarily resulting from the upward revaluation of its investment in
Data Critical Corp.  Additionally  for the three month period,  $1.4 million was
transferred  from  unrealized  gain to  realized  gain  due to the  sale of BACE
Manufacturing,  as discussed  above.  The $1.4 million  transfer from unrealized
gain to realized  gain  partially  offset by the  $250,000 net  unrealized  gain
resulted  in  a  $1.1  million  decrease  to  net  unrealized   appreciation  of
investments for the three month period.

For the three  months  ended  March 31,  1994,  the  Partnership  had a $734,000
unrealized  gain  primarily   resulting  from  the  upward  revaluation  of  its
investment in UroCor, Inc. (formerly  CytoDiagnostics,  Inc.).  Additionally for
the three month period,  the  Partnership  transferred  $146,000 from unrealized
loss to realized loss relating to the  write-off of Symex,  as discussed  above.
The $734,000 net unrealized gain and the $146,000  transfer from unrealized loss
to realized loss resulted in a $880,000 increase to net unrealized  appreciation
of investments for the three month period.

Net Assets - Changes to net assets resulting from operations are comprised of 1)
net  realized  gain or loss from  operations  and 2) changes  to net  unrealized
appreciation of portfolio investments.

For the three  months  ended  March 31,  1995,  the  Partnership  had a $378,000
increase in net assets  resulting from operations  comprised of the $1.5 million
net  realized  gain from  operations  offset  by the $1.1  million  decrease  in
unrealized  appreciation of investments  for the period.  At March 31, 1995, the
Partnership's net assets were $9.7 million, down $1.7 million from $11.4 million
at December 31, 1994. This decrease was a result of the $2,049,600  accrued cash
distribution  paid to Limited  Partners  in April 1995  partially  offset by the
$378,000  increase in net assets  resulting from  operations for the three month
period.

At March 31, 1994, the Partnership's net assets were $9 million,  an increase of
$673,000 from $8.4 million at December 31, 1993. This increase resulted from the
$880,000  increase in net unrealized  appreciation of investments  offset by the
$207,000 net realized loss from operations for the three 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  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  March  31,  1995 and  December  31,  1994 was $934 and  $1,098,
respectively.
