PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P. (the "Fund" or the "Registrant") is a limited
partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 20,
1988. The managing general partner of the Fund is FCM Fiduciary Capital
Management Company, a Delaware general partnership (the "Managing General
Partner" or "FCM"). The independent general partners of the Fund are E. Bruce
Fredrikson, Mark A. Sargent and Phillip Siegel (the "Independent General
Partners"). (The Managing Partner and the Independent General Partners are
collectively referred to herein as the "General Partners.")
The general partners of the Managing General Partner are FCM Fiduciary Capital
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Mezzanine Capital Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and an affiliate of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber"), and
Paul Bagley. Paul Bagley owns 100% of the stock of FCM Fiduciary Capital
Corporation.
The Managing General Partner serves as investment adviser ("Investment Adviser")
to the Fund and is responsible for the identification of all investments made by
the Fund and all other investment advisory services necessary for the operation
of the Fund in carrying out its investment objectives and policies. The
Independent General Partners oversee the investment activities of the Investment
Adviser.
The Fund has elected to operate as a business development company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund
was to provide current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in
subordinated debt and related equity securities issued as the mezzanine
financing of privately structured, friendly leveraged buyouts, leveraged
acquisitions and leveraged recapitalizations. A separate fund, Fiduciary Capital
Pension Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("FCPP") was also formed
on October 20, 1988 for tax-exempt investors with investment objectives,
policies and restrictions similar to those of the Fund. The Fund and FCPP
co-invest in the investments; however, each fund is accounted for separately. As
discussed below, the Fund is now in a liquidation mode.
On January 26, 1990, the Fund and its affiliate, FCPP (collectively, the
"Funds"), began a public offering of their units of limited partnership
interests (the "Units"). The Units were registered pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form N-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Funds collectively held three closings for the sale of the Units during the
period from August 14, 1990 through October 18, 1990. As a result of the
closings, the Funds sold 65,898 Units representing an aggregate purchase price
of $65,898,000. Of these amounts, 36,102 Units representing an aggregate
purchase price of $36,102,000 and 29,796 Units representing an aggregate
purchase price of $29,796,000 were received by the Fund and FCPP, respectively.
A special meeting of the Fund's Limited Partners was held on October 1, 1993. At
the meeting, the Limited Partners approved the extension of the Fund's
investment period until December 31, 1995 and the adoption of a fundamental
policy of periodic unit repurchases. In connection with the adoption of the
repurchase policy, each $1,000 Unit was redenominated into fifty $20 Units.
After giving effect to this redenomination, the Fund had 1,805,100 Units
outstanding as of October 1, 1993.
Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase policy, the Fund has annually offered to
purchase from its Limited Partners up to 7.5% of its outstanding Units for an
amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit, net of a
1
<PAGE> 4
fee (not to exceed 2%), which is retained by the Fund to offset expenses
incurred in connection with the repurchase offer. If the number of tendered
Units in any year exceeds 7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General
Partners may vote to repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units.
If Units in excess of this amount are tendered, Units are purchased on a
prorated basis, after giving priority to Limited Partners owning less than 100
Units.
Repurchases of Units since the adoption of the plan are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
The Fund's investment period ended on December 31, 1995. Although the Fund has
been permitted to make additional investments in existing portfolio companies
since 1995, the Fund is no longer permitted to acquire investments in new
portfolio companies. Consequently, the Fund has been in a liquidation mode.
Since the middle of 1997, the Fund has liquidated a significant percentage of
its investments and has distributed approximately $6.23 per Unit to the Limited
Partners, with the cash coming primarily from the liquidation of these
investments.
During the last year, the General Partners considered a number of possible plans
that would have permitted the Fund to be liquidated by the end of 2000. However,
it was determined that none of these plans were feasible. As a result, it is
currently expected that the Fund will remain in existence until the remaining
debt investments either mature or are prepaid by the respective portfolio
companies, and the remaining equity investments are sold or otherwise
liquidated.
Each Fund's participation in the following portfolio investments is in
proportion to the amount of capital that each fund had available for investment
at the time each investment was acquired. All amounts shown in this Report with
respect to investments represent only the Fund's proportionate share of the
amounts involved.
Portfolio Investments
As of December 31, 1999, the Fund held portfolio investments in two Managed
Companies, with an aggregate cost of approximately $10.0 million, and two
Non-Managed Companies, with an aggregate cost of approximately $1.4 million.
Managed Companies are those to which significant managerial assistance is
offered.
During 1999, the Fund purchased $849,750 of LMC Corporation ("LMC") Senior
Subordinated Revolving Notes due October 1, 1999. During August 1999, the Fund
exchanged these notes and a receivable for $85,620 of accrued interest for LMC
Class B preferred stock having a par value of $935,370. In addition, (i) the
outstanding principal amount of the Fund's LMC 12% Senior Subordinated Revolving
Notes due October 31, 2000, increased by $54,640, from to $1,912,400 at December
31, 1998 to $1,967,040 at December 31, 1999, and (ii) the Fund purchased
$117,460 of Niigata Engineering Co., Ltd. ("Niigata") receivables from LMC at a
cost of $92,767. (For a further discussion, see section below, "Follow-On
Investments in 1999".)
Also in 1999, the Fund liquidated its remaining KEMET Corporation ("KEMET")
stock, receiving $513,632 of net proceeds. (For a further discussion, see
section below, "Disposition of Portfolio Investments in 1999".)

Follow-On Investments in 1999
LMC Corporation and Niigata Engineering Co., Ltd.
The Company LMC, headquartered in Brigham City, Utah, is a manufacturer of low
ground pressure track equipment used for construction, infrastructure
development and landscaping. The primary purchasers of this equipment include
private contractors, ski resorts, utility companies and governmental agencies
for use on construction sites and/or environmentally sensitive locations.
LMC experienced significant cash flow shortfalls in December 1999 and January
2000. These cash flow shortfalls, combined with significant reductions in the
cash available under the Company's revolving line of credit with CIT Corporation
("CIT"), forced a cessation of production of equipment and severely curtailed
LMC's ability to fulfill orders for spare parts. LMC received a notice of
default, dated April 6, 2000, from CIT.
LMC has initiated conversations with several potential purchasers of its
business, in whole or in part. To date, no meaningful offers have been received.
LMC is also exploring a consignment joint venture for its spare parts business.
The majority of LMC's employees, including Clyde Noorda, the President, have
been released.
The LMC Board of Directors has authorized management to file for bankruptcy
protection when, and if, it determines that it is in the best interests of the
company to do so. In an effort to preserve value and facilitate the possible
sale of the business, the Fund's General Partners approved an additional loan of
up to $111,502, subsequent to December 31, 1999. As of March 31, 2000, LMC has
drawn down $59,467 of this amount. When these funds are exhausted, LMC will
probably have no alternative to a bankruptcy filing.
History of Investment During June 1994, the Fund invested $2,551,920 in LMC. The
investment consisted of $2,604,000 of 13.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due May
31, 1999 with warrants to acquire common stock.
During February 1996, the Fund participated in a financial restructuring of its
LMC investment. The Fund converted its existing LMC subordinated debt and
warrants into Series C preferred stock and purchased $545,600 of new common
stock. As a result of the restructuring, the Fund increased its ownership of
LMC's common stock from approximately 13% to approximately 27%.
During November 1996, the Fund purchased $1,967,040 of LMC's 12% Senior
Subordinated Revolving Notes due October 31, 2000. The outstanding principal
balance of these revolving notes, which has fluctuated, totaled $1,967,040 at
December 31, 1999.
During February and March 1998, the Fund purchased $551,000 of LMC's Senior
Subordinated Revolving Notes due August 20, 1998.
During April 1998, the Fund agreed to again restructure and increase its
aggregate investment in LMC. In the restructuring, $1,639,200 of the Fund's LMC
Senior Subordinated Revolving Notes due October 31, 2000 were converted into
additional LMC common stock. This left LMC with the ability to reborrow the
$1,639,200.
LMC periodically made draw downs under the terms of the Revolving Note agreement
to fund working capital requirements and to retire the $551,000 of LMC Senior
Subordinated Revolving Notes due August 20, 1998. As a result of this second
restructuring, the Fund's percentage ownership of LMC's common stock increased
from approximately 27% to approximately 48%.
During August 1998, the Fund purchased an additional 1,699,500 shares of LMC
common stock for $849,750. As a result of this stock purchase, the Fund's
percentage ownership of LMC's common stock increased from approximately 48% to
approximately 50%.
During February 1999, the Fund agreed to purchase $849,750 of LMC's Senior
Subordinated Revolving Notes due October 1, 1999. During August 1999, the Fund
exchanged these notes and a receivable for $85,620 of accrued interest for LMC
Class B preferred stock having a par value of $935,370.

<PAGE> 6
During December 1999, the Fund purchased $117,460 of Niigata receivables from
LMC at a cost of $92,767. An additional $166,917 of Niigata receivables were
purchased during January 2000 at a cost of $151,235. These various receivables
are payable on specified dates between May 21, 2000 and May 21, 2002.
Dispositions of Portfolio Investments in 1999
KEMET Corporation The Fund acquired various subordinated debt and equity
investments in KEMET and its subsidiary, KEMET Electronics Corporation ("KEMET
Electronics"), during 1991 and 1993.
During October 1992, KEMET completed an initial public offering of its common
stock. During June 1993, KEMET Electronics prepaid its subordinated notes that
the Fund held following the successful completion of a secondary stock offering.
As of December 31, 1993, the Fund continued to hold the KEMET common stock and
warrants. During 1994, the Fund exercised its warrants and sold a portion of the
common stock, realizing total sales proceeds of $1,528,731. During 1995, the
Fund sold additional shares of stock, realizing total additional sales proceeds
of $3,903,055. The Fund did not sell any additional stock from 1995 until 1999.
During 1999, the Fund liquidated its remaining KEMET stock, receiving $513,632
of net proceeds.
KEMET, headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, is a leading manufacturer
and distributor of both solid tantalum and monolithic ceramic capacitors used as
components in circuit boards.
Other Portfolio Investments
R.B.M. Precision Metal Products, Inc. ("RBM") During May 1995, the Fund invested
$1,430,800 in RBM. The investment consisted of $1,460,000 of 13.00% Senior
Subordinated Secured Notes due May 24, 2002, with warrants to acquire common
stock.
RBM, headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is a manufacturer of precision
sheet metal enclosures, chassis and assemblies for business machines.
For its fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, RBM's revenues were $11.6 million
versus a budget of $12.0 million. For the year, RBM's loss was $1.3 million
(pretax) versus a budgeted loss of $1.9 million.
RBM projects sales of approximately $17 million for its fiscal year ended
October 31, 2000, with a positive EBITDA. Sales and cash flows for the quarter
ended January 31, 2000 were slightly below budget.
RBM remains current with its interest payments and is currently in compliance
with all of its senior and subordinated loan covenants. However, it will not
make the principal payment scheduled for May 2000 on the Fund's note, because it
is not permitted to do so under the terms of an Intercreditor and Subordination
Agreement ("Intercreditor Agreement"), between the Fund and RBM's other
creditors. This Intercreditor Agreement was a stipulated pre-condition to RBM's
debt restructuring, which occurred in late 1998.
The CEO of RBM's principle shareholder, 13i Capital Corporation ("13i"), has
taken over as CEO of RBM. He has brought in a number of new professionals and is
working to create new sales opportunities and restore the company to
profitability. If this continues, the Fund could possibly receive a partial
principal payment in the second quarter of 2001, since the Intercreditor
Agreement permits such payments, limited to 85% of RBM's EBITDA. Originally, our
debt was scheduled to be repaid over the three years ending May 2002. It now
appears that it will take considerably longer than this. There is no assurance
that any payments will be permitted and any such payments are entirely dependent
upon RBM's continued improved performance. The Fund continues to urge a sale or
refinancing of the company, but has been unable to obtain the agreement of 13i.

<PAGE> 7
WasteMasters, Inc. ("WMI") and Atlas Environmental, Inc. ("Atlas") During
January 1996, the Fund invested $3,855,398 in Atlas. The investment consisted of
$3,934,080 of 13.5% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due January 19, 2003, with
warrants to acquire common stock. The warrants had an exercise price of $8.00
per share.
The companies that Atlas acquired during 1996 with the proceeds of the Fund's
subordinated debt investment did not perform as well as expected. As a result,
Atlas defaulted on certain financial covenants in its agreements with its senior
lender and with the Fund. The senior lender, the Bank of New York, reacted to
the covenant defaults by limiting Atlas' availability under its revolving credit
facility and by instructing Atlas not to pay the quarterly interest payments
that were due on the Fund's subordinated debt, beginning in July 1996. During
January 1997, Atlas filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
As a result of these developments, the Fund stopped accruing interest on the
subordinated notes during April 1996 and wrote the carrying value of its Atlas
investment down during 1996 and 1997 to a nominal amount.
During June 1998, the Fund exchanged its Atlas subordinated notes and warrants
for 989,414 shares of common stock in WMI, an Atlanta, Georgia based waste
management company.
Pursuant to the terms of the exchange agreement, the Fund is prohibited from
selling its WMI common stock for 24 months. In addition, the Fund granted the
entity acquiring the Fund's Atlas securities a call on the Fund's WMI common
stock during the 24-month lock up period and a right to first refusal
thereafter. The call price is $11.25 per share.
The WMI common stock, which trades on the OTC Bulletin Board System ("WAST"),
closed at $1.78 (an average of the closing bid and ask prices) on June 3, 1998
(the date of the exchange). However, due to a number of factors, including the
speculative nature of the WMI stock, the two year lock up period and the
relative size of the Fund's stock position, FCM recorded the WMI stock at the
same nominal value that the Atlas securities had previously been carried by the
Fund.
The Fund recorded a realized loss of $2,560,453 on the exchange, which is equal
to the amount of the loss that the Fund claimed for income tax purposes from the
disposition of the Atlas securities. The balance of the unrealized loss
previously recorded by the Fund with respect to the Atlas securities continues
to be carried by the Fund as an unrealized loss.
The 52-week low for the WMI common stock is $0.02 per share and the current bid
price (March 31, 2000) is $0.30 per share.
Competition
The Fund's investment period ended on December 31, 1995, and the Fund is engaged
in an orderly liquidation. Each of the Fund's remaining portfolio companies
experience substantial competition in their respective businesses.
Employees
The Fund has no employees. As discussed above, the Managing General Partner
manages the Fund's investments, subject to the supervisory oversight of the
Independent General Partners, and performs services on behalf of the Fund. The
General Partners are entitled to certain fees and reimbursements of certain
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of these
management services. See Item 10 of this Report, "Directors and Executive
Officers of the Registrant" and Item 13 of this Report, "Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions".

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings pending against the Fund.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners of the Fund, through
the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
There is no organized trading market for the purchase and sale of the Units and
certain measures have been adopted and implemented to assure that no such
organized trading market will develop.
The Fund's Limited Partners adopted a periodic unit repurchase plan during 1993.
Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase policy, the Fund has annually offered to
purchase from its Limited Partners, up to 7.5% of its outstanding Units for an
amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit, net of a fee (not to
exceed 2%) to be retained by the Fund to offset expenses incurred in connection
with the repurchase offer. If the number of tendered Units in any year exceeds
7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General Partners may vote to
repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units. If Units in excess
of this amount are tendered, Units are purchased on a pro-rata basis, after
giving priority to Limited Partners owning less than 100 Units.
Repurchases of Units since the adoption of the plan are summarized in Item 1 of
this Report, "Business".
As of March 31, 2000, the number of Limited Partners of record was approximately
1,623.
The Fund made the following distributions to its partners with respect to 1998
and 1999:

</TABLE>
- --------------------
(1) Includes distributions to the Managing General Partner.
(2) The per Unit distribution amount varied between $1.00 and $1.13
depending upon the closing in which the particular Units were issued.
This disproportionate cash distribution resulted from the Units being
issued on different dates during 1990, and thus being entitled to
differing Preferred Return amounts, as defined in the Fund's
Partnership Agreement. These disproportionate distribution rates
eliminated the remaining Preferred Return amounts, leaving all Units on
an equal basis going forward.
Cash distributions for 1998 were paid out of net investment income (4.0%),
realized gains on investments (53.9%) and a return of capital (42.1%). All of
the cash distributions for 1999 represented a return of capital.
The 1999 distributions and the 1999 repurchase offer utilized a substantial
portion of the Fund's remaining cash. As a result, it is unlikely that the Fund
will be able to continue to pay quarterly distributions during 2000 and beyond.
The distribution question will be addressed on a quarterly basis by the General
Partners, and will involve the consideration of a number of issues.
The Fund's investment period ended on December 31, 1995. Although the Fund has
been permitted to make additional investments in existing portfolio companies
since 1995, the Fund is no longer permitted to acquire investments in new
portfolio companies. Consequently, the Fund has been in a liquidation mode.
Since the
7
<PAGE> 10
middle of 1997, the Fund has liquidated a significant percentage of its
investments and has distributed approximately $6.23 per Unit to the Limited
Partners, with the cash coming primarily from the liquidation of these
investments.
During the last year, the General Partners considered a number of possible
plans that would have permitted the Fund to be liquidated by the end of 2000.
However, it was determined that none of these plans were feasible. As a result,
it is currently expected that the Fund will remain in existence until the
remaining debt investments either mature or are prepaid by the respective
portfolio companies, and the remaining equity investments are sold or otherwise
liquidated.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The following selected financial data of the Fund has been derived from the
financial statements for the indicated periods. The information set forth below

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Fund's audited
Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. This Report contains, in addition to
historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and other
uncertainties. The Fund's actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in

<PAGE> 11
these forward-looking statements. While the Fund can not always predict what
factors would cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by
the forward-looking statements, factors that might cause such a difference
include general economic and business conditions, effects of competition and the
Year 2000 issue on the business of the portfolio companies and other factors
discussed elsewhere in this Report. Readers are urged to consider statements
that include the terms "believes", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "intends"
or the like to be uncertain and forward-looking. The Fund undertakes no
obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements
to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 1990, the Fund completed a public offering of its Units. Net offering
proceeds available to the Fund, after deducting commissions and other offering
costs, totaled $31,860,015.
The Fund's Limited Partners adopted a periodic unit repurchase plan during 1993.
Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase policy, the Fund has annually offered to
purchase from its Limited Partners, up to 7.5% of its outstanding Units for an
amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit, net of a fee (not to
exceed 2%) to be retained by the Fund to offset expenses incurred in connection
with the repurchase offer. If the number of tendered Units in any year exceeds
7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General Partners may vote to purchase
up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units. If Units in excess of this
amount are tendered, Units are purchased on a pro rata basis, after giving
priority to Limited Partners owning less than 100 Units.
Repurchases of Units since the adoption of the plan are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
The Fund's investment period ended on December 31, 1995. Although the Fund has
been permitted to make additional investments in existing portfolio companies
since 1995, the Fund is no longer permitted to acquire investments in new
portfolio companies. Consequently, the Fund has been in a liquidation mode.
Since the middle of 1997, the Fund has liquidated a significant percentage of
its investments and has distributed approximately $6.23 per Unit to the Limited
Partners, with the cash coming primarily from the liquidation of these
investments.
During the last year, the General Partners considered a number of possible plans
that would have permitted the Fund to be liquidated by the end of 2000. However,
it was determined that none of these plans were feasible. As a result, it is
currently expected that the Fund will remain in existence until the remaining
debt investments either mature or are prepaid by the respective portfolio
companies, and the remaining equity investments are sold or otherwise
liquidated.
As of December 31, 1999, the Fund held portfolio investments in two Managed
Companies, with an aggregate cost of approximately $10.0 million, and two
Non-Managed Companies, with an aggregate cost of approximately $1.4 million.
These portfolio investments, which were made from net offering proceeds and the
reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of other portfolio investments, represent
approximately 101.1% of the Fund's net assets. When acquired, these portfolio
investments generally consisted of high-yield subordinated
9
<PAGE> 12
debt, linked with an equity participation or a comparable participation feature.
These securities were typically issued in private placement transactions and
were subject to certain restrictions on transfer or sale, thereby limiting their
liquidity.
As of December 31, 1999, the Fund's remaining liquid assets were invested in
short-term commercial paper. These funds are available to fund the annual
repurchase offer, to fund follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies,
to pay Fund expenses and for distribution to the partners.
During 1999, the Fund liquidated its remaining KEMET stock, with the Fund
receiving $513,632 of sales proceeds.
Accrued interest receivable decreased $81,309 from $103,233 at December 31, 1998
to $21,924 at December 31, 1999. The $103,233 receivable at December 31, 1998
consisted primarily of interest due on the LMC notes and the $21,924 receivable
at December 31, 1999 consisted primarily of interest due on the RBM notes. Both
receivable amounts also included a small receivable for interest earned on money
market investments. The Funds had placed the RBM notes on non-accrual status at
December 31, 1998. During 1999, the Fund again began accruing interest on the
RBM notes, but placed the LMC notes on non-accrual status. (See discussions
below concerning the Fund's LMC and RBM investments.)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $43,238 from $539,360 at
December 31, 1998 to $582,598 at December 31, 1999. This increase resulted
primarily from increases in accrued legal fees and the Fund's litigation related
reserves during 1999. These litigation related reserves represent $517,029, or
approximately 89%, of the total accounts payable and accrued liabilities at
December 31, 1999.
Distributions payable to partners decreased $25,279, from $336,271 at December
31, 1998 to $310,992 at December 31, 1999. This decrease resulted from a 7.52%
decrease in the number of outstanding Units as a result of the repurchase of
Units by the Fund during November 1999.
During 1999, the Fund declared quarterly cash distributions to its partners in
the aggregate amount of $1,319,805, which were paid during the months of May,
August and November 1999 and February 2000. The per Unit distribution rates were
$.30 per Unit per quarter. All of these 1999 distributions represented a return
of capital.
The 1999 distributions and the 1999 repurchase offer utilized a substantial
portion of the Fund's remaining cash. As a result, it is unlikely that the Fund
will be able to continue to pay quarterly distributions during 2000 and beyond.
The distribution question will be addressed on a quarterly basis by the General
Partners, and will involve the consideration of a number of issues.
The Fund has accrued approximately $517,000 for certain known potential
liabilities related to two former investments of the Fund. In addition, the Fund
may be exposed to other asserted or unasserted legal claims encountered in the
course of its activities, past and present. Other than those amounts for which
the Fund has specifically accrued, management does not believe the ultimate
resolution of these matters will have a material impact on the operating
results, financial position or cash flows of the Fund.
Results of Operations
Investment Income and Expenses
The Fund's investment income consists primarily of interest income earned from
the various debt investments held by the Fund. Major expenses include
professional fees, fund administration fees, investment advisory fees and
administrative expenses.
10
<PAGE> 13
1999 Compared to 1998
The Fund's net investment loss was $326,228 for the year ended December 31, 1999
on total investment income of $393,499 as compared to net investment income of
$107,781 on total investment income of $743,018 for the prior year. Net
investment income (loss) per limited partnership unit decreased from $0.08 to
$(0.30) and the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets
decreased from 0.84% to (4.37)% for the year ended December 31, 1999 in
comparison to the prior year.
Net investment income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 1999 decreased
primarily as a result of a decrease in investment income in comparison to the
prior year. Total expenses also increased, though by a much smaller amount.
Investment income decreased $349,519, or 47.0%, for the year ended December 31,
1999 in comparison to the prior year. This decrease resulted primarily from a
decrease in the amount of the Fund's temporary investments and the decisions not
to record interest on the Fund's LMC notes during the period from July 1, 1999
through December 31, 1999 and the Fund's RBM notes during the period from August
25, 1998 through May 24, 1999 (see discussions below). The amount of the Fund's
temporary investments decreased because of (i) return of capital distributions
by the Fund, (ii) the Fund's repurchase of Units during the fourth quarters of
1998 and 1999, (iii) purchases of additional follow-on investments, and (iv) the
incurrence of net investment losses by the Fund.
Total expenses increased $84,490, or 13.3%, for the year ended December 31, 1999
in comparison to the prior year. This increase resulted primarily from an
increase in professional fees. This increase was partially offset by a decrease
in investment advisory fees.
Professional fees increased primarily as a result of increases in legal fees
incurred in connection with litigation related to LMC's defined contribution
pension plan, as discussed below.
Investment advisory fees decreased primarily as a result of (i) the repurchase
of Units during the fourth quarters of 1998 and 1999, (ii) the payment of
quarterly cash distributions during 1998 that exceeded the Limited Partners'
Preferred Return (as defined in the Fund's Partnership Agreement), and (iii)
losses realized by the Fund during the second quarter of 1998 with respect to
the Mobile Technology, Inc. ("MTI"), Atlas and AR Accessories Group, Inc.
("ARA") portfolio investments. All three of these items decreased the amount of
the Fund's available capital (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), which is
the base with respect to which the investment advisory fees are calculated.
1998 Compared to 1997
The Fund's net investment income was $107,781 for the year ended December 31,
1998 on total investment income of $743,018 as compared to net investment income
of $1,016,693 on total investment income of $1,646,796 for the prior year. Net
investment income per limited partnership unit decreased from $0.78 to $0.08 and
the ratio of net investment income to average net assets decreased from 5.69% to
0.84% for the year ended December 31, 1998 in comparison to the prior year.
Net investment income for the year ended December 31, 1998 decreased primarily
as a result of a decrease in investment income in comparison to the prior year.
Investment income decreased $903,778, or 54.9%, for the year ended December 31,
1998 in comparison to the prior year. This decrease resulted primarily from (i)
the prepayment of the Fund's Elgin National Industries, Inc. ("Elgin")
subordinated debt investment during November 1997, (ii) the disposition of the
ENI preferred stock during November 1997, and (iii) the decision to stop
accruing interest on the Fund's RBM subordinated debt investment effective
during August 1998. The combined negative impact of these items was partially
offset by increases in the amount of interest income earned on temporary
investments and the various LMC debt investments.
11
<PAGE> 14
Total expenses increased $5,134, or 0.8%, for the year ended December 31, 1998
in comparison to the prior year. This increase resulted primarily from increases
in other expenses and Independent General Partner fees and expenses. These
increases were substantially offset by a decrease in investment advisory fees
and, to a lesser extent, by a small decrease in professional fees.
Other expenses increased during 1998 primarily as a result of insurance expense
associated with a new liability insurance policy for the Fund's general partners
that was initially purchased during September 1997.
Independent General Partner fees and expenses increased during 1998 primarily
because one of the Fund's three Independent General Partners resigned during the
fourth quarter of 1996 and was not replaced until the third quarter of 1997.
Investment advisory fees decreased during 1998 primarily as a result of (i) the
repurchase of Units during November 1997 and 1998, (ii) the payment of quarterly
cash distributions during 1998 that exceeded the Limited Partners' Preferred
Return (as defined in the Fund's Partnership Agreement) and (iii) losses
realized by the Fund during the second quarter of 1998 with respect to the MTI,
Atlas and ARA investments. All three of these items decreased the amount of the
Fund's available capital (as defined in the Fund's Partnership Agreement), which
is the base with respect to which the investment advisory fees are calculated.
Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments
The Fund realized net gains of $493,358 during the year ended December 31, 1999,
net losses of $3,008,930 during the year ended December 31, 1998 and net gains
of $3,545,258 during the year ended December 31, 1997.
The net realized gains for 1997 resulted from gains on the Fund's Neodata
Corporation, Elgin National Industries, Inc., ENI Holding Corp. and Huntington
Holdings, Inc. ("Huntington") investments, including a prepayment premium, and
an additional realized loss on the Fund's Canadian's investment. The net
realized losses for 1998 resulted from losses on the Fund's ARA, MTI and Atlas
investments and an additional realized gain on the Fund's Huntington investment.
During 1999, the Fund liquidated its remaining KEMET common stock investment,
The Fund received $513,632 of sales proceeds, resulting in aggregate net
realized gains of $503,726.
The Fund incurred approximately $10,000 of realized losses during the year ended
December 31, 1999 as a result of adjustments relating to certain previously held
investments.
Net Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments
FCM values the Fund's portfolio investments on a weekly basis utilizing a
variety of methods. For securities that are publicly traded and for which market
quotations are available, valuations are set by the closing sales, or an average
of the closing bid and ask prices, as of the valuation date.
Fair value for securities that are not traded in any liquid public markets or
that are privately held are determined pursuant to valuation policies and
procedures that have been approved by the Independent General Partners and
subject to their supervision. There is a range of values that are reasonable for
such investments at any particular time. Each such investment is valued
initially based upon its original cost to the Fund ("cost method"). The cost
method is used until significant developments affecting the portfolio company
provide a basis for use of an appraisal valuation. Appraisal valuations are
based upon such factors as the portfolio company's earnings, cash flow and net
worth, the market prices for similar securities of comparable companies and an
assessment of the portfolio company's future financial prospects. In a case of
unsuccessful operations, the appraisal may be based upon liquidation value.
Appraisal valuations are necessarily subjective. The Fund
12
<PAGE> 15
also may use, when available, third-party transactions in a portfolio company's
securities as the basis of valuation ("private market method"). The private
market method will be used only with respect to completed transactions or firm
offers made by sophisticated, independent investors.
Prior to 1997, the Fund had recorded cumulative net unrealized loss on
investments of $684,118. During 1997, the Fund recorded $11,869 of unrealized
gain and $3,976,377 of unrealized loss on investments. In addition, the Fund
disposed of investments during 1997 with respect to which the Fund had recorded
$105,369 of net unrealized loss during prior years. Therefore, at December 31,
1997, the Fund had net unrealized loss on investments of $4,543,257.
During 1998, the Fund recorded $2,295,487 of unrealized loss on investments. In
addition, the Fund disposed of investments during 1998 with respect to which the
Fund had recorded $4,214,940 of net unrealized loss during prior years.
Therefore, at December 31, 1998, the Fund had net unrealized loss on investments
of $2,623,804.
The net increase in unrealized loss on investments during 1999 and the
cumulative net unrealized loss on investments at December 31, 1999, consisted of
the following components:

</TABLE>
LMC has a defined contribution plan (the "Plan"), which was closed during 1995.
The current and previous trustees of the Plan failed to assure that the Plan was
properly funded. In order to rectify this problem, LMC made demands on the
current and previous trustees of the Plan and the previous controlling
shareholder that these parties make the necessary payments to the Plan. LMC
filed suit against Mr. Wallace, the former controlling shareholder of LMC and
the current Plan trustee.
All matters relative to the Plan, including the attendant litigation, were
settled during 1999. Mr. Wallace contributed $750,000 to pay the assessed
underfunding. He received Class A preferred stock in return for this
contribution. LMC gave Mr. Wallace a full release from all claims relative to
this matter and has received letters from both the Internal Revenue Service and
the Department of Labor indicating that they have "accepted" LMC's actions to
date. While this does not mean that future action is precluded, LMC's management
believes it to be unlikely.
Simultaneously with the above settlement, the Fund converted its revolving notes
that were due October 1, 1999, plus all accrued interest due from LMC, into
Class B preferred stock. Effective July 1, 1999, the Fund also discontinued
accruing interest on the LMC Senior Subordinated Revolving Notes due October 31,
2000, which it still holds.
LMC experienced significant cash flow shortfalls in December 1999 and January
2000. These cash flow shortfalls, combined with significant reductions in the
cash available under the Company's revolving line of credit with CIT
Corporation, forced a cessation of production of equipment and severely
curtailed LMC's ability to fulfill orders for spare parts. LMC received a notice
of default, dated April 6, 2000, from CIT.
13
<PAGE> 16
LMC has initiated discussions with several potential purchasers of its business,
in whole or in part. To date, no meaningful offers have been received. LMC is
also exploring a consignment joint venture for its spare parts business. The
majority of LMC's employees, including Clyde Noorda, the President, have been
released.
The LMC Board of Directors has authorized management to file for bankruptcy
protection when, and if, it determines that it is in the best interests of the
company to do so. In an effort to preserve value and facilitate the possible
sale of the business, the Fund's General Partners approved an additional loan of
up to $111,502, subsequent to December 31, 1999. As of March 31, 2000, LMC has
drawn down $59,467 of this amount. When these funds are exhausted, LMC will
probably have no alternative to a bankruptcy filing. The Fund previously wrote
its LMC investment down by $540,800 and $317,280 during 1995 and 1997,
respectively. As a result of the above-described developments, the Fund created
additional reserves of $7,402,297 against the carrying values of the Fund's LMC
investment during 1999. Thus, as of December 31, 1999, the Fund's total LMC
investment had a net carrying value of $273,204, versus its cost of $8,533,581.
RBM had a record year for fiscal 1998, with sales of approximately $30 million
and EBITDA of approximately $2.7 million. However, these sales were achieved
primarily through one contract with Digital Equipment Corporation ("DEC").
During August 1998, RBM notified the Fund that anticipated sales to DEC and
other large customers were expected to decline significantly in the upcoming
year. Of particular concern were sales to DEC, which has been acquired by Compaq
Computer Corp. As a result of the expected decline in sales, RBM began the
process of restructuring its debt, including the subordinated debt held by the
Fund. The Fund received the quarterly interest payment that was due from RBM on
August 24, 1998. The interest payment that was due during November 1998 was
deferred and subsequently converted to equity pursuant to the restructuring
described below.
During December 1998, RBM and its lenders completed a restructuring under which
a new senior lender, Wells Fargo Business Credit, replaced Bank of America. As
part of this transaction, RBM's principle shareholder, 13i Capital Corporation
("13i"), contributed additional equity to the company and the subordinated
lenders, including the Fund, agreed to accept shares of RBM's common stock as
payment for the next three quarterly interest payments beginning with the
payment that was due during November 1998. As a consequence, the Fund's
ownership of RBM, on a fully diluted basis, increased from 6.6% to 8.1%,
assuming exercise of its warrants. The restructuring was designed to provide RBM
with a period of time in which to secure additional customers and return to a
more stable financial position under which RBM could meet its interest
obligations to its creditors, including the Fund.
As a result of these developments, the Fund stopped accruing interest on its RBM
subordinated debt effective August 24, 1998. In addition, the Fund recorded
aggregate writedowns of $753,634 relating to RBM during the year ended December
31, 1998.
RBM resumed paying the quarterly interest payments in cash, commencing with the
quarterly interest payment due on August 24, 1999. The Fund placed a $1
aggregate valuation on the RBM common stock that was received in payments of the
interest with respect to the nine-month period beginning August 25, 1998 and
ending May 24, 1999.
For its fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, RBM's revenues were $11.6 million
versus a budget of $12.0 million. For the year, RBM's loss was $1.3 million
(pretax) versus a budgeted loss of $1.9 million.
RBM projects sales of approximately $17 million for its fiscal year ended
October 31, 2000, with a positive EBITDA. Sales and cash flows for the quarter
ended January 31, 2000 were slightly below budget.
RBM remains current with its interest payments and is currently in compliance
with all of its senior and subordinated loan covenants. However, it will not
make the principal payment scheduled for May 2000 on the Fund's note, because it
is not permitted to do so under the terms of an Intercreditor and Subordination
Agreement ("Intercreditor Agreement"), between the Fund and RBM's other
creditors. This Intercreditor Agreement was a stipulated pre-condition to RBM's
debt restructuring, which occurred in late 1998.
14
<PAGE> 17
13i's CEO has taken over as CEO of RBM. He has brought in a number of new
professionals and seems to have stabilized the company. If this continues, the
Fund could possibly receive a partial principal payment in the second quarter of
2001, since the Intercreditor Agreement permits such payments, limited to 85% of
RBM's EBITDA. Originally, our debt was scheduled to be repaid over the three
years ending May 2002. It now appears that it will take considerably longer than
this. There is no assurance that any payments will be permitted and any such
payments are entirely dependent upon RBM's continued improved performance. The
Fund continues to urge a sale or refinancing of the company, but has been unable
to obtain the agreement of 13i.
During June 1998, the Fund exchanged its Atlas (which was in bankruptcy
proceedings) subordinated notes and warrants for 989,414 shares of common stock
of WMI, an Atlanta, Georgia based waste management company. Pursuant to the
terms of the agreement, the Fund is prohibited from selling its WMI common stock
for 24 months. In addition, the Fund granted the entity acquiring the Fund's
Atlas securities a call on the Fund's WMI common stock during the 24-month lock
up period and a right of first refusal thereafter. The call price is $11.25 per
share.
The WMI common stock, which trades on the OTC Bulletin Board System ("WAST"),
closed at $1.78 (an average of the closing bid and ask prices) on the date of
the exchange (June 3, 1998). Based on this price, the Fund's WMI common stock
had a trading value of $1,761,157 on the date of the exchange. However, due to a
number of factors, including the speculative nature of the WMI stock, the two
year lock up period and the relative size of the Fund's stock position versus
the daily trading volume, FCM decided to carry the WMI stock at the same $1
nominal value that the Atlas securities were previously carried by the Fund.
The Fund recorded a realized loss of $2,560,453 on the exchange, which is equal
to the amount of the loss that the Fund claimed for income tax purposes from the
disposition of the Atlas securities. The $1,321,794 balance of the unrealized
loss previously recorded by the Fund with respect to the Atlas securities
continues to be carried by the Fund as an unrealized loss.
The 52-week low for the WMI common stock is $0.02 per share and the current bid
price (March 31, 2000) is $0.30 per share.
Readiness for Year 2000
During 1999, FCM completed a review of the accounting and other information
systems that are currently being utilized by FCM and the Fund with regard to
Year 2000 issues. This review involved both actual tests of parts of the
information systems that were conducted by third party consultants and
representations received from various software vendors. As a result of this
review, FCM believed that all of these systems were Year 2000 compliant. All of
the costs associated with this review were paid by FCM.
FCM also corresponded with appropriate third parties, such as the Fund's
custodian and transfer agent, concerning whether their information systems were
Year 2000 compliant. These third parties represented that their information
systems were also Year 2000 compliant.
As a result of the above discussed review, Year 2000 issues were not expected to
have any material adverse effects on the Fund's results of operations or
financial condition. As of March 31, 2000, the Fund has incurred no Year 2000
related issues.
Inflation and Changing Prices
Inflation has had no material impact on the operations or financial condition of
the Fund from inception through December 31, 1999. However, inflation and
changing prices, in addition to other factors, may effect the value and the
eventual selling price of the Fund's remaining investments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of
Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fiduciary Capital Partners,
L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 1999, and the related
statements of operations, cash flows and changes in net assets for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 and the selected per unit data
and ratios for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial
statements and per unit data and ratios are the responsibility of the
partnership's managing general partner. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and per unit data and ratios based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and per
unit data and ratios are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, by correspondence with the custodian. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and selected per unit data and ratios
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the results of its operations, its cash flows and the changes in its net
assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, and
the selected per unit data and ratios for each of the five years in the period
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.
As discussed in Note 2, the financial statements include investment securities
valued at $1,111,012 at December 31, 1999 (101.1% of net assets) and $7,415,494
at December 31, 1998 (71.7% of net assets) whose values have been estimated by
the managing general partner in the absence of readily ascertainable market
values. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the managing
general partner's estimate of values may differ significantly from the values
that would have been used had a ready market existed for the securities and the
differences could be material.

FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
1. ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE
Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P. (the "Fund"), a Delaware limited partnership,
was formed on October 20, 1988 to operate as a business development company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund's operations commenced on
August 14, 1990.
FCM Fiduciary Capital Management Company ("FCM"), the Managing General Partner
of, and the investment adviser to, the Fund, is responsible, subject to the
supervision of the Independent General Partners, for overseeing and monitoring
the Fund's investments.
The investment objective of the Fund was to provide current income and capital
appreciation by investing primarily in subordinated debt and related equity
securities issued as the mezzanine financing of privately structured, friendly
leveraged buyouts, leveraged acquisitions and leveraged recapitalizations. These
investments are referred to herein as "portfolio investments". Managed companies
are those to which significant managerial assistance is offered. As discussed
below, the Fund is now in a liquidation mode.
As set forth in the Partnership Agreement, the Fund's investment period ended on
December 31, 1995. Although the Fund is permitted to make additional investments
in existing portfolio companies, the Fund is no longer permitted to acquire
investments in new portfolio companies. A number of alternative actions through
which the Fund could be liquidated by the end of 2000 are currently being
considered. Once a specific plan of liquidation is developed, the requisite
regulatory procedures required to liquidate the Fund will be followed.
A separate fund, Fiduciary Capital Pension Partners, L.P. ("FCPP"), was also
formed on October 20, 1988 for tax-exempt investors with investment objectives,
policies and restrictions similar to those of the Fund. While the Fund and FCPP
have co-invested in each of the portfolio investments, each fund is accounted
for separately. Each fund's participation in the portfolio investments is in
proportion to the amount of capital that each fund had available for investment
at the time each investment was acquired. Certain expenses are allocated between
the funds based on the amount of each fund's total capital. The accompanying
financial statements include only the activities of the Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Accounting Method The Fund maintains its accounting records, prepares financial
statements and files its tax returns using the accrual method of accounting.
F-10
<PAGE> 28
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
Realized and Unrealized Gain or Loss on Investments Realized gains and losses
are recorded upon disposition of investments and are calculated based upon the
difference between the proceeds and the cost basis determined using the specific
identification method. All other changes in the valuation of investments, as
determined by FCM, are included as changes in the unrealized appreciation or
depreciation of investments in the Fund's Statements of Operations.
Valuation of Investments FCM values the Fund's investments on a weekly basis
utilizing a variety of methods. For securities that are publicly traded and for
which market quotations are available, valuations are set by the closing sales,
or an average of the closing bid and ask prices, as of the valuation date. The
Fund discounts these closing market prices between 5% and 20% to reflect lack of
liquidity if the Fund's securities are subject to legal or contractual trading
restrictions, or to reflect the potential market impact which could result from
the sale of the securities, if the Fund and FCPP combined own a material
percentage of the outstanding securities. The amount of the discount varies
based upon the type of restriction, the time remaining on the restriction and
the size of the holding.
Fair value for securities that are not traded in any liquid public markets or
that are privately held are determined pursuant to valuation policies and
procedures which have been approved by the Independent General Partners and
subject to their supervision. There is a range of values that are reasonable for
such investments at any particular time. Each such investment is valued
initially based upon its original cost to the Fund ("cost method"). Debt
securities with attached warrants for the purchase of common stock are initially
recorded at a discount from face value equal to the estimated relative value of
the warrants at date of investment. The discount is amortized to income as an
adjustment to yield from the debt securities. Face value less unamortized
discount represents the "amortized cost" of the debt securities.
The cost method is used until significant developments affecting the portfolio
company provide a basis for use of an appraisal valuation. Appraisal valuations
are based upon such factors as the portfolio company's earnings, cash flow and
net worth, the market prices for similar securities of comparable companies and
an assessment of the portfolio company's future financial prospects. In a case
of unsuccessful operations, the appraisal may be based upon liquidation value.
Appraisal valuations are necessarily subjective. The Fund also may use, when
available, third-party transactions in a portfolio company's securities as the
basis of valuation ("private market method"). The private market method is used
only with respect to completed transactions or firm offers made by
sophisticated, independent investors.
Temporary investments with maturities of less than 60 days are stated at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under this method, temporary
investments are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter a constant
proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity
of the investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Fund considers investments in money market funds
to be cash equivalents.
Interest Receivable on Notes Notes are placed on non-accrual status in the event
of a default (after any applicable grace period expires) or if FCM determines
that there is no reasonable expectation of collecting the interest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
Income Taxes No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial
statements because taxes on Fund income are the responsibility of the individual
partners rather than the Fund.
Investment Transactions The Fund records portfolio investment transactions on
the date on which it obtains an enforceable right to demand the securities or
payment thereof and records temporary investment transactions on the trade date.
Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the basis of specific
identification for both accounting and tax purposes.
3. ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS, LOSSES AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, all income derived from temporary
investments will be distributed and allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1%
to FCM. Net investment income will, in general, be distributed and allocated:
(i) 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to FCM until the Limited Partners have
received a cumulative non-compounded preferred return of 9% per annum on their
capital contributions to the Fund, then (ii) 70% to the Limited Partners and 30%
to FCM until FCM has received 10% of all current and prior distributions and
allocations, and thereafter, (iii) 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to FCM.
Proceeds from capital transactions will, in general, be distributed and
allocated: (i) 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to FCM until the Limited
Partners have received a cumulative, non-compounded preferred return of 9% per
annum on their capital contributions to the Fund from net investment income,
capital transactions, or both, then (ii) 100% to the Limited Partners until they
have received a return of their capital contributions to the Fund, and
thereafter, (iii) 80% to the Limited Partners and 20% to FCM.
Prior to 1998, cash distributions and earnings of the Fund were allocated 99% to
the Limited Partners and 1% to FCM. Pursuant to the terms of the Fund's
Partnership Agreement, the Fund's 1998 loss was allocated approximately 87% to
the Limited Partners and approximately 13% to FCM, and the portion of the 1998

5. PERIODIC UNIT REPURCHASE PLAN
The Fund's Limited Partners adopted a periodic unit repurchase plan during 1993.
Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase policy, the Fund has annually offered to
purchase from its Limited Partners, up to 7.5% of its outstanding Units for an
amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit, net of a fee (not to
exceed 2%), which is retained by the Fund to offset expenses incurred in
connection with the repurchase offer. If the number of tendered Units in any
year exceeds 7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General Partners may vote
to repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units. If Units in
excess if this amount are tendered, Units are purchased on a pro-rated basis,
after giving priority to investors owning less than 100 Units.
Repurchases of Units since the adoption of the plan are summarized as follows:

8. INDEPENDENT GENERAL PARTNER FEES AND EXPENSES
As compensation for services rendered to the Fund, each of the Independent
General Partners receives from the Fund and FCPP, an annual fee of $30,000,
payable monthly in arrears, together with all out-of-pocket expenses. Each

outstanding Units. Fees and expenses of $63,330, $61,231 and $55,219 were
incurred by the Fund for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
9. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
FCM and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of direct expenses paid on
behalf of the Fund. Such reimbursements amounted to $304,344, $231,913 and
$311,347 during 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
10. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS
The Fund's portfolio investments consist primarily of high-yield private
placement securities issued as the mezzanine financing of privately structured,
friendly leveraged buyouts, leveraged acquisitions and leveraged
recapitalizations, and are generally linked with an equity participation. The
risk of loss upon default by an issuer is greater than with investment grade
securities because high-yield securities are generally unsecured and are usually
subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Also, these issuers usually have
higher levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse economic
conditions than investment grade issuers. Most of these securities are subject
to resale restrictions and generally there is no quoted market for such
securities.
Although the Fund cannot eliminate the risks associated with its investments in
these high-yield securities, it has established risk management procedures. The
Fund subjected each prospective investment to rigorous analysis, and made only
those investments that were recommended by FCM and that met the Fund's
investment guidelines or that were otherwise approved by the Independent General
Partners. The Fund also has procedures in place to continually monitor its
portfolio companies.
As of December 31, 1999, the Fund held portfolio investments in two Managed
Companies, with an aggregate cost of approximately $10.0 million, and two
Non-Managed Companies, with an aggregate cost of approximately $1.4 million.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund acquired additional follow-on
investments in LMC at a net cost of approximately $1.0 million, including the
Niigata receivables that were purchased from LMC.
During 1999, the Fund liquidated its remaining KEMET Corporation common stock
investment. The Fund received $513,632 of sales proceeds, resulting in aggregate
net realized gains of $503,726.
The Fund has pledged the common stock it owns in LMC Credit Corp. as collateral
for the corporation's debt. None of the Fund's other portfolio investments are
pledged or otherwise encumbered.

potential liabilities related to former investments of the Fund. In addition,
the Fund may be exposed to other asserted or unasserted legal claims encountered
in the course of its activities, past and present. Other than those amounts for
which the Fund has specifically accrued, management does not believe the

in and to any such modification, enhancement, or upgrade.
3. TERM AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
3.01 Term. This Agreement shall be for an initial term of three (3)
years, commencing on April 1, 1999, and shall thereafter be automatically
renewed for successive one (1) year terms unless either party terminates this
Agreement for any reason by written notice to the other party not less than
ninety (90) days prior to expiration date of the initial term or of any renewal
term.
3.02 Default. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default which continues uncured for more than ten
(10) days after written notice thereof is received by the defaulting party from
the non-defaulting party. For purposes of this Section, the occurrence of any
one or more of the events described in Section 5.01, below, or the unauthorized
disclosure of Confidential Information or Client Data in violation of Section 6,
below, shall constitute an "Event of Default".
3.03 Transition. Upon termination, the parties shall cooperate in the
orderly transition to a new vendor. Prior to termination, the Client shall pay
in full all fees set forth in Section 4, below, for all Services performed up to
the date of termination, together with all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
incurred by GEMISYS including, without limitation, the cost of all unused
materials purchased by GEMISYS for the Client's use, which have not previously
been paid for by Client, and the cost of shipping the same to the Client.

creation of a Master File is included in the Standard Service Fee (as defined in

<PAGE> 6
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
INVESTOR SERVICES PROCESSING AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.03 Extraordinary Services Fees. The Client shall pay to GEMISYS, all
charges required to produce any Extraordinary Services other than standard
services for the Client, on either a mutually agreed upon unit basis or, if no
specific agreement is reached, on the basis of current hourly billing rates for
GEMISYS personnel then in effect and the actual costs of materials used. Such
Services shall be invoiced whenever incurred and payment shall be due within
thirty (30) days of date of the invoice.
4.04 Pass-Through Costs. In addition to the Standard Service Fee and
any Extraordinary Services fees, the Client shall pay or reimburse GEMISYS'
costs incurred in connection with telecommunications, mailing, postage,
printing, delivery, storage, or bonding services to or for the Client or Client
Investors or their Representatives.
4.05 Fee Increases. During the initial term or any renewal term of this
Agreement, GEMISYS may increase its fees set forth in Section 4.02, above, not
more than once in any twelve (12) month period, and no such increase shall
exceed the proportionate increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers for Denver-Boulder, Colorado, published by the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is
published for the month immediately preceding the date of the commencement of
any twelve (12) month period. If the Index is discontinued or revised during any
term, such other government index or computation shall be used by mutual
agreement of the parties in order to obtain substantially the same results as
would be obtained if the Index had not been discontinued or revised.
4.06 Late Charges. If the Client should fail to make any payment of
fees due under this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the date of any
invoice, the Client shall pay to GEMISYS, as a late charge, an additional sum
equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month of the overdue payment, which
amount the parties agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
damages which GEMISYS would sustain as a result of late payment.

the right to declare the other party to be in default of this Agreement in the

thereof is received by that party from the non-defaulting party;

performance of this Agreement it may be necessary for GEMISYS to disclose to the

6
<PAGE> 8
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
INVESTOR SERVICES PROCESSING AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information may be highly prejudicial to
GEMISYS' interests and may constitute an improper disclosure of trade secrets.
In order to protect GEMISYS' rights in and to Confidential Information,
the Client agrees that Confidential Information shall be deemed confidential and
proprietary to GEMISYS, and shall not be disclosed by the Client to unauthorized
third parties, and shall be safeguarded by the Client to the same extent that
the Client safeguards confidential matters relating to its own operation, which
shall include safeguards that a reasonably prudent person would take under
similar circumstances. To these ends, the Client shall take such steps as may be
necessary to ensure that neither Confidential Information nor any information
comprising or relating to Confidential Information is used, copied, replicated
in form or function, modified, disclosed, or made available to third parties by
the Client or its employees, agents, representatives, or affiliates in any
manner or for any purpose other than as provided in this Agreement without prior
written consent of an authorized officer of GEMISYS. Such steps shall include,
without limitation, (i) the taking of appropriate action by the Client via
instruction, agreement, or otherwise with its employees, agents,
representatives, and affiliates permitted access to the Confidential Information
to ensure that the Client's obligations under this Section can be fully
satisfied, and (ii) compliance by the Client and its employees, agents,
representatives, and affiliates with the provisions Section 10.03, below, if and
when that Section should become applicable.
6.02 GEMISYS' Obligations. GEMISYS acknowledges that during the
performance of this Agreement it will be necessary for Client to disclose to
GEMISYS certain Client Data relating to the Client's operation and to Client
Investors or their Representatives. GEMISYS acknowledges that the unauthorized
disclosure of Client Data may be highly prejudicial to the Client's or Client
Investors' interests and may constitute an improper disclosure of trade secrets.
In order to protect the Client's rights in Client Data, GEMISYS agrees the
Client Data shall be deemed confidential and proprietary to the Client, shall
not be disclosed by GEMISYS to parties other than the Client, and shall be
safeguarded by GEMISYS to the same extent that GEMISYS safeguards confidential
matters relating to its own operation, which shall include the safeguards that a
reasonably prudent person would take under similar circumstances. To these ends,
GEMISYS shall take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that neither Client
Data nor any information comprising or relating to Client Data is used, copied,
replicated in form or function, modified, disclosed, or made available to
parties other than the Client by GEMISYS or by its employees, agents,
representatives, or affiliates in any manner or for any purpose other than as
provided in this Agreement without the prior consent of the Client. Such steps
shall include, without limitation: (i) the taking of appropriate action by
GEMISYS via instruction, agreement, or otherwise with its employees, agents,
representatives, and affiliates permitted access to Client Data to ensure that
GEMISYS' obligations under this Section can be fully satisfied, and (ii)
compliance by GEMISYS and its employees, agents, representatives, and affiliates
with the provisions of Section 10.03, below, if and when that Section should
become applicable.

other than as a result of any breach of this Agreement, or (ii) information
which the Client or GEMISYS is obligated to disclose pursuant to the lawful
order of any court of government instrumentality of the United States, but only
to the extent required by such order and subject to the provisions of Section
10.03, below.
6.04. Remedies Upon Breach. If the parties or their employees, agents,
representatives, or affiliates attempt to use, disclose, or misappropriate any
Confidential Information or Client Data in any manner contrary to the terms of
this Agreement, the non-disclosing party shall have the right, in addition to
any other remedies which may otherwise be available to it at law or in equity,
to: (i) apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order restraining and
enjoining such acts or attempts, it being acknowledged by the Client and GEMISYS
that in such event legal remedies are inadequate, and/or (ii) suspend or
terminate this Agreement without the disclosing party's consent and without the
requirements of any additional instructions, authorizations, or signatures of
any persons or entities.
6.05 Survival of Obligations. All rights and obligations of the parties
set forth in Section 6.01, 6.02, and 6.04, above, shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Agreement and the termination of the employment, agency,
representation, or affiliation of any individual or entity referred to therein,
even if occasioned by the employer's or principal's breach or wrongful
termination.
7. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY
7.01 Indemnification by GEMISYS. GEMISYS shall indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless the Client and its directors, officers, employees, agents,
representatives, and affiliates from and against any claims, liability, losses,
damages, and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs incurred by the Client, its directors, officers, employees, agents,
representatives, and affiliates which arise out of or relate to the negligence
or willful misconduct of GEMISYS or from any breach or default by GEMISYS of any
of its obligations under this Agreement or any of its provisions. In the event
that any action or proceeding is brought against the Client by reason of any
claims or liability, GEMISYS shall defend that action or proceeding at GEMISYS'
sole expense by counsel of the Client's choice or by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Client.
7.02 Indemnification by the Client. The Client shall indemnify, defend,
and hold harmless GEMISYS, and its directors, officers, employees, agents,
representatives, and affiliates from and against any claims, liability, losses,

8
<PAGE> 10
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
INVESTOR SERVICES PROCESSING AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by GEMISYS, its directors,
officers, employees, agents, representatives, and affiliates which arise out of
or relate to: (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of the Client or the
Client's Investors or their Representatives; or (ii) any breach or default by
the Client of any of its obligations under this Agreement or in connection with
the enforcement of this Agreement or any of its provisions, or (iii) any claim
brought against GEMISYS by a third party including, without limitation, any
claim by the Client's Investor(s) or their Representative(s) which relates in
any way to the fulfillment of any obligation under this Agreement by the Client.
In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against GEMISYS by reason
of such claims or liability, the Client shall defend that action or proceeding
at the Client's sole expense by counsel of GEMISYS' choice or by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to GEMISYS.
7.03 Duty to Notify. As an express condition precedent to either
party's rights or obligations described in Sections 7.01 and 7.02, above, the
party invoking its right to indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") must
provide written notification of any such claim or liability to the party from
whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") within a reasonable
time after the Indemnified Party's receipt of the written claim against it. As
used in this Section, "reasonable time" shall mean that period of time within
which the rights or interests of the Indemnifying Party in defending that claim
or liability are not substantially prejudiced or impaired as a result of delay
by the Indemnified Party. This condition precedent is deemed to be for the
benefit of both the Client and GEMISYS, and may be waived only by the
Indemnified Party in writing.
7.04 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of the parties
set forth in Sections 7.01, 7.02, and 7.03, above, shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Agreement with respect to any claim or liability
occurring prior to such expiration or termination.
7.05 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Sections 7.01 and 7.02, above:
(a) Consequential Damages. No party shall bear any liability under this
Agreement for any lost profits or consequential, special, or indirect damages,
even if a party has been informed of the possibility of such damages or could
have reasonably foreseen them.
(b) Error. GEMISYS' liability in the event of any request by the Client
for error resolution pursuant to Section 1.03, above, shall not exceed GEMISYS'
internal costs incurred in investigating and correcting the error identified or,
in the event that the error is not promptly investigated and corrected, the
Client's internal and external costs incurred in investigating and correcting
the error.

(c) Force Majeure. In no event shall any party bear any responsibility
for delays or failures in the performance of its obligations under this

shall be excused from such delays or performance. Such acts shall include,
without limitation, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war,
epidemics, any act or omission by any governmental authority, regulations or
restrictions superimposed after the fact by any governmental authority, fire,

event of the commencement of any litigation (including claims or liabilities
under Section 7.01 and 7.02 under this Agreement) arising out of any breach or
default under this Agreement or in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement or any of its provisions. The requesting party shall have the right to
examine and make copies of such materials upon reasonable prior notice to the

THIRD QUARTER REPORT
1999
<PAGE> 2
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MESSAGE TO INVESTORS
Dear Investor:
In this Quarterly Report, we will summarize the status of your cash
distributions and the results of the Fund's 1999 Repurchase Offer. In addition,
we will highlight recent developments with respect to the Fund and its remaining
portfolio investments.
CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
The cash distribution for the third quarter of 1999 was paid on November 15,
1999 at a rate of $0.30 per Unit. Cumulative cash distributions paid to
Investors since the Fund's inception during 1990 now total between $16.32 and
$16.00 on a per Unit ($20.000 cost) basis, depending upon the closing in which
the particular Units were issued. All of the 1999 distributions constitute a
return of capital.
The 1999 Repurchase Offer and the distribution for the third quarter of 1999
utilized a substantial portion of the Fund's remaining cash. As a result, the
Fund's ability to pay quarterly distributions for the fourth quarter of 1999 and
subsequent quarters is uncertain at this time. The distribution question will be
addressed on a quarterly basis, and will involve the consideration of a number
of issues.
PERIODIC UNIT REPURCHASE POLICY
Pursuant to the terms of the Fund's periodic unit repurchase policy, the Fund
has annually offered to purchase from Investors, up to 7.5% of its outstanding
Units for an amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit, net of a 2%
fee, which is retained by the Fund to offset expenses incurred in connection
with the Repurchase Offer. If the number of tendered Units in any year exceeds
7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General Partners may vote to
repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units. If Units in excess
of this amount are tendered, Units are purchased on a prorated basis, after
giving priority to Investors owning less than 100 Units.
The 1999 Repurchase Offer was mailed to Investors during October 1999. Investors
tendered 129,347 Units, or approximately 11.66% of the Fund's outstanding Units,
for repurchase. The Fund repurchased 83,421 Units, or approximately 7.52% of the
Fund's outstanding Units, during November 1999 at
--------------------
ONE
<PAGE> 3
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a net asset value per Unit of $4.60 ($4.51, net of the 2% fee).
As discussed below, the General Partners are presently considering a number of
alternative actions through which the Fund could be completely liquidated by the
end of next year. As a result, the 1999 Repurchase Offer will likely be the
Fund's last Repurchase Offer.
NET ASSET VALUE
The Fund's net asset value per Unit was $5.68 at September 30, 1999 and $4.60 at
November 12, 1999. The November 12th net asset value was used to establish the
repurchase price for the 1999 Repurchase Offer. These net asset values compare
to net asset values of $9.51 at December 31, 1998 and $9.01 at June 30, 1999.
These declines in the net asset value during 1999 resulted primarily from
writedowns in the value of the Fund's investments in LMC Corporation ("LMC") and
the fact that all of the Fund's quarterly cash distributions for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 represented a return of capital.
POSSIBLE LIQUIDATION PLANS
The General Partners are presently considering a number of alternative actions
through which the Fund could be liquidated by the end of next year. An overall
plan of liquidation was adopted at a meeting of the General Partners held during
January 1999. The General Partners will follow the requisite regulatory
procedures required to liquidate the Fund. These procedures are expected to
include requesting an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), which will permit the Fund to act as an operating
company instead of an SEC registered investment company. Once this order is
obtained, the Fund will finalize its liquidation plan and prepare a proxy
statement setting forth the details of the plan as well as the changes required
in the Fund's Partnership Agreement. Early in 2000, Investors will be requested
to approve the implementation plan and the Partnership Agreement changes. As
currently contemplated, Fund investors would become direct shareholders of LMC
as a result of the liquidation plan, if all approvals are received.
PORTFOLIO UPDATE
KEMET Corporation ("KEMET") The Fund has completed the liquidation of its
--------------------
TWO
<PAGE> 4
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
remaining KEMET common stock investment. This liquidation process, which
involved the writing of covered call options, began during May 1999 and was
completed during October 1999. In the aggregate, during this six-month period
the Fund generated $513,632 of net cash proceeds from the liquidation of this
investment.
R.B.M. Precision Metal Products, Inc. ("RBM") During 1998, RBM and its lenders
completed a restructuring under which a new senior lender, Wells Fargo Business
Credit, replaced Bank of America. As part of this restructuring, RBM's principal
shareholder contributed additional equity to the company and the subordinated
lenders, including the Fund, agreed to accept shares of RBM's common stock as
payment for three quarterly interest payments. As a consequence, the Fund's
ownership of RBM, on a fully diluted basis, increased from 6.6% to 8.1%,
assuming exercise of its warrants. The Fund did not assign any value to the RBM
common stock that was received.
RBM resumed paying the quarterly interest payments in cash commencing with the
quarterly interest payment due on August 24, 1999. The Fund has received the
August and November quarterly interest payments. As a result, the Fund resumed
recording interest income with respect to the RBM subordinated debt, effective
May 25, 1999.
At October 31, 1999, RBM held $855,000 of cash and its line of credit had a zero
outstanding balance. RBM appears to have managed its balance sheet well and its
latest report states that "RBM met all covenant requirements for the fourth
quarter and year end".
For the year ended October 31, 1999, RBM's revenues were $11.7 million versus a
budget of $12.0 million. Losses continue, but are more favorable than budgeted.
For the year, RBM's loss was $1.2 million (pretax) versus a budgeted loss for
the year of $1.9 million.
RBM continues to experience high turnover. The CEO, the CFO/VP of Finance and
the Human Resources Manager all resigned during the last quarter. The equity
sponsor and majority holder, 13i Capital Corporation ("13i"), has taken over
direct management of the company and the CEO of 13i has moved to Colorado
Springs in order to take full time responsibility for the management of RBM.
LMC Corporation ("LMC") LMC has successfully reoriented its business away from
fleet snow grooming to the production of light construction vehicles, known as
the TrackMaster 85. Unfortunately, production and moving delays,
--------------------
THREE
<PAGE> 5
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
combined with CIT's unilateral reductions in loan availability under the
company's CIT loan facility, have eliminated the working capital necessary for
continued vehicle production.
We, along with LMC management, are assessing various options and alternatives
including refinancing options, sales of certain assets and sale of the company.
We are also considering the establishment of TrackMaster as a separate
corporation and refinancing that business directly.
All matters relative to LMC's defined contribution pension plan (the "Plan"),
including the attendant litigation have been settled. Mr. Wallace, the former
controlling shareholder of LMC and the Plan trustee, contributed $750,000 to pay
the assessed underfunding. He received Class A preferred stock in return for
this contribution. LMC gave Mr. Wallace a full release from all claims related
to this matter and has received letters from both the Internal Revenue Service
and the Department of Labor indicating that they have "accepted" LMC's actions
to date. While this does not mean that future action is precluded, management
believes it to be unlikely.
Simultaneously with the above settlement, the Fund converted $849,750 of Senior
Subordinated Revolving Notes due October 1, 1999 (the "Notes") which had been
purchased earlier during 1999, plus all accrued interest due from LMC, into
Class B preferred stock. Due to the working capital shortage referred to above,
the Fund is no longer accruing interest on the LMC Senior Subordinated Revolving
Notes due October 31, 2000, which it continues to hold. This situation is
expected to continue indefinitely, unless and until, a refinancing is
accomplished. As a further result of these circumstances, the Fund created
additional reserves of $3,218,070 and $1,167,013 against the carrying values of
the Fund's LMC notes and preferred stock at September 30, 1999 and November 12,
1999, respectively. The November 12th reserve, which was created following the
receipt of disappointing information concerning LMC's recent financial and
operating results, was created in connection with the need to establish a net
asset value for the 1999 Repurchase Offer. Following the November 12th
writedown, the Fund's total LMC investment has a net carrying value of
$3,290,418, versus its cost of $8,533,581.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
The following analysis reflects only the Fund's investments that have gone full
cycle, i.e., the investments that have been sold and with respect to which the
Fund has recorded a realized gain or loss. Thus, investments that the Fund still
--------------------

FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
owns, such as LMC, RBM and WasteMasters, are not included. In addition, the
analysis does not consider fees and other operating expenses incurred by the
Fund.
As reflected in the schedules on pages six and seven of this Quarterly Report,
the Fund invested a total of $50.6 million in subordinated debt investments and
received total realized proceeds of $57.6 million, including interest income,
fees and prepayment penalties. In the aggregate, these debt investments yielded
a return on investment of 1.1 to 1 and an annualized internal rate of return of
7.60%. The Fund also invested $3.7 million in equity securities, from which it
realized total proceeds of $13.8 million. In the aggregate, these equity
investments yielded a return on investment of 3.7 to 1 and an internal rate of
return of 33.43%. Please note that prior performance is not necessarily
indicative of future results.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
FCM Fiduciary Capital Management Company ("FCM"), the Managing General Partner
of Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P. (the "Fund"), necessary to fairly present
the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 1999 and the results of
its operations, changes in net assets and its cash flows for the periods then
ended.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Significant
Accounting Policies and other Notes to Financial Statements included in the
Fund's annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES
As compensation for its services as investment adviser, FCM receives a
subordinated monthly fee at the annual rate of 1% of the Fund's available
capital, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. Investment advisory fees of
$72,826 were paid by the Fund for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
3. FUND ADMINISTRATION FEES
As compensation for its services as fund administrator, FCM receives a monthly
fee at the annual rate of 0.45% of net proceeds available for investment, as
defined in the Partnership Agreement. Fund administration fees of $107,528 were
paid by the Fund for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. FCM is also
reimbursed, subject to various limitations, for administrative expenses incurred
in providing accounting and investor services to the Fund. The Fund reimbursed
FCM for administrative expenses of $60,828 for the nine months ended September
30, 1999.
4. INDEPENDENT GENERAL PARTNER FEES AND EXPENSES
As compensation for services rendered to the Fund, each of the Independent
General Partners receives from the Fund and Fiduciary Capital Pension Partners,
L.P., an affiliated fund, (collectively, the "Funds") an annual fee of $30,000,
payable monthly in arrears, together with all out-of-pocket expenses. Each
Fund's allocation of these fees and expenses is based on the relative number of
outstanding Units. Fees and expenses paid by the Fund for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 totaled $50,633.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Fund's unaudited
Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. This report contains, in addition to
historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and other
uncertainties. The Fund's actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements. While the Fund can not always
predict what factors would cause actual results to differ materially from those
indicated by the forward-looking statements, factors that might cause such a
difference include general economic and business conditions, competition and
other factors discussed elsewhere in this report. Readers are urged to consider
statements that include the terms "believes", "expects", "plans", "anticipates",
"intends" or the like to be uncertain and forward-looking. The Fund undertakes
no obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 1999, the Fund held portfolio investments in three Managed
Companies and one Non-Managed Company, with an aggregate original cost of
approximately $11.3 million. The value of these portfolio investments, which
were made from net offering proceeds and the reinvestment of proceeds from the
sale of other portfolio investments, represents approximately 87.7% of the
Fund's net assets.
When acquired, the Fund's portfolio investments generally consisted of
high-yield subordinated debt, linked with an equity participation or a
comparable participation feature in middle market companies. The securities were
typically issued in private placement transactions and were subject to certain
restrictions on transfer or sale, thereby limiting their liquidity. A number of
the portfolio companies have prepaid their subordinated debt that the Fund held.
In addition, three of the portfolio companies have successfully completed
initial public offerings ("IPOs") of their stock. The Fund has sold the stock it
held in these three companies, except for a portion of its KEMET Corporation
("KEMET") stock.
As of September 30, 1999, the Fund's remaining liquid assets were invested in
short-term commercial paper. These funds are available to fund the annual
repurchase offer, to fund follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies,
to pay Fund expenses and for distribution to the partners.
The Fund's investment period ended on December 31, 1995. Although the Fund has
been permitted to make additional investments in existing portfolio companies
since 1995, the Fund is no longer permitted to acquire investments in new
portfolio companies. Consequently, the Fund has been in a liquidation mode.
Since the middle of
---------------
EIGHTEEN
<PAGE> 20
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997, the Fund has liquidated a significant percentage of its investments and
has distributed approximately $5.93 per Unit to the Limited Partners, with the
cash coming primarily from the liquidation of these investments. The Fund
presently has only four remaining investments in portfolio companies, which are
expected to generate only limited amounts of interest income for the Fund during
1999 and future years.
Pursuant to the terms of the Fund's periodic unit repurchase policy, the Fund
has annually offered to purchase from its Limited Partners, up to 7.5% of its
outstanding Units for an amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit,
net of a fee (not to exceed 2%) to be retained by the Fund to offset expenses
incurred in connection with the repurchase offer. If the number of tendered
Units in any year exceeds 7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General
Partners may vote to repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units.
The 1999 repurchase offer was mailed to the Limited Partners during October
1999. The actual redemption of Units will occur on November 19, 1999.
The General Partners are presently considering a number of alternative actions
through which the Fund could be liquidated by the end of next year. An overall
plan of liquidation was adopted at a meeting of the General Partners held in
January 1999. The General Partners will follow the requisite regulatory
procedures required to liquidate the Fund. These procedures are expected to
include requesting an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), which will permit the Fund to act as an operating
company instead of an SEC registered investment company. Once this order is
obtained, the Fund will finalize its liquidation plan and prepare a proxy
statement setting forth the details of the plan as well as the changes required
in the Fund's Partnership Agreement. Early in 2000, the Limited Partners will be
requested to approve the implementation of the liquidation plan and the
Partnership Agreement changes. As currently contemplated, Fund investors would
become direct shareholders of LMC as a result of the liquidation plan, if all
approvals are received.
During February 1999, the Fund agreed to purchase $849,750 of LMC's Senior
Subordinated Revolving Notes due October 1, 1999. During August 1999, the Fund
exchanged these Notes and a receivable for $85,620 of accrued interest for LMC
Class B preferred stock having a par value of $935,370.
During April 1999, the Fund began writing covered call options with respect to
its shares of KEMET stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
Fund received $29,536 of premiums from the sale of the options and $400,111 from
the exercise of the options for 23,231 shares. At September 30, 1999, 4,383
options were outstanding at a strike price of $17.50. The Fund also received
$7,940 of sales proceeds from the sale of 330 shares of KEMET stock during July
1999.
Accrued interest receivable decreased $82,504 from $103,233 at December 31, 1998
to $20,729 at September 30, 1999. The $103,233 of accrued interest receivable at
December 31, 1998 consisted primarily of interest due on the LMC Corporation
---------------
NINETEEN
<PAGE> 21
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
("LMC") notes and the $20,729 of accrued interest receivable at September 30,
1999 consisted primarily of interest due on the R.B.M. Precision Metal Products,
Inc. ("RBM") notes. Both receivable amounts also included a small receivable for
interest earned on money market investments. The Fund had placed the RBM notes
on non-accrual status at December 31, 1998. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Fund again began accruing interest on the RBM notes, but
placed the LMC notes on non-accrual status. (See below for discussions
concerning the Fund's LMC and RBM investments.)
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Fund paid cash
distributions pertaining to the fourth quarter of 1998 and the first and second
quarters of 1999, each in the amount of $336,271, or $0.30 per Unit. The
distribution for the third quarter of 1999 will be paid on November 15, 1999 at
a rate of $0.30 per Unit. All of the 1999 distributions constitute a return of
capital.
The 1999 repurchase offer and the distribution for the third quarter of 1999
will utilize a substantial portion of the Fund's remaining cash. As a result,
the General Partners presently anticipate that the Fund will suspend quarterly
cash distributions, commencing with the distribution for the fourth quarter of
1999, which would otherwise be payable during February 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES
The Fund's net investment loss was $(152,757) for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to net investment income of $44,745 for the
corresponding period of the prior year. Net investment income (loss) per limited
partnership unit decreased from $0.04 to $(0.14) and the ratio of net investment
income (loss) to average net assets decreased from 1.45% to (7.70)% for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period of
the prior year.
The Fund's net investment loss was $(199,469) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to net investment income of $129,001 for the
corresponding period of the prior year. Net investment income (loss) per limited
partnership unit decreased from $0.11 to $(0.18) and the ratio of net investment
income (loss) to average net assets decreased from 1.27% to (2.94)% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period of the
prior year.
Net investment income (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999 decreased both as a result of decreases in investment income
and increases in total expenses as compared to the corresponding periods of the
prior year.
Investment income decreased $91,744 and $326,244, or 50.6% and 50.8%, for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the
corresponding
------------------
TWENTY
<PAGE> 22
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
periods of the prior year. These decreases resulted primarily from the decisions
not to record interest on the Fund's RBM notes during the period from August 25,
1998 through May 24, 1999 and the Fund's LMC notes during the period from July
1, 1999 through September 30, 1999 (see discussions below) and a decrease in the
amount of the Fund's temporary investments. The amount of the Fund's temporary
investments decreased because of (i) return of capital distributions made by the
Fund, (ii) purchases of additional LMC follow-on investments, and (iii) the
Fund's repurchase of 7.65% of its Units during the fourth quarter of 1998. The
negative effect of these items was partially offset by an increase in interest
income earned on the LMC follow-on investments that were acquired during 1998
and 1999.
Total expenses increased $105,758 and $2,226, or 77.4% and 0.4%, for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the corresponding
periods of the prior year. These increases resulted primarily from increases in
professional fees. These increases were partially offset by decreases in
investment advisory fees and, to a minor extent, other expenses.
Professional fees increased significantly during the three months ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.
However, professional fees increased only a minimal amount during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period of the
prior year due to the fact that professional fees recorded during the six months
ended June 30, 1999 had decreased significantly from the corresponding period of
the prior year. Both of these variances resulted primarily from legal fees
incurred during both 1998 and 1999 in connection with LMC related litigation.
The investment advisory fees decreased during the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior
year, primarily as a result of (i) the repurchase of Units during the fourth
quarter of 1998, (ii) the payment of quarterly cash distributions during 1998
that exceeded the Limited Partners' Preferred Returns (as defined in the Fund's
Partnership Agreement), and (iii) losses realized by the Fund during the second
quarter of 1998 with respect to the Mobile Technology, Inc., Atlas
Environmental, Inc. ("Atlas") and AR Accessories Group, Inc. portfolio
investments. All three of these items decreased the amount of the Fund's
available capital (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), which is the base
with respect to which the investment advisory fees are calculated.
REALIZED GAIN (LOSS) ON INVESTMENTS
During April 1999, the Fund wrote covered call options (May/$15.00) with respect
to 5,479 shares of its KEMET stock, for which it received $4,763 of premiums.
The options for 1,315 of these shares were exercised during May 1999 and the
balance expired unexercised. The Fund recorded aggregate realized gains of
$23,901 from these transactions during May 1999.
------------------
TWENTY-ONE
<PAGE> 23
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During April 1999, the Fund wrote covered call options (July /$17.50) with
respect to 21,916 shares of its KEMET stock, for which it received $19,302 of
premiums. These options were exercised during July 1999. The Company also sold
330 shares of KEMET stock during July 1999. The Fund recorded aggregate gains of
$399,963 from these transactions during July 1999.
The Fund incurred approximately $30,000 of realized losses during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as a result of adjustments relating to certain
previously held investments.
NET UNREALIZED GAIN (LOSS) ON INVESTMENTS
FCM values the Fund's portfolio investments on a weekly basis utilizing a
variety of methods. For securities that are publicly traded and for which market
quotations are available, valuations are set by the closing sales or an average
of the closing bid and ask prices, as of the valuation date.
Fair value for securities that are not traded in any liquid public markets or
that are privately held are determined pursuant to valuation policies and
procedures that have been approved by the Independent General Partners and
subject to their supervision. There is a range of values that are reasonable for
such investments at any particular time. Each such investment is valued
initially based upon its original cost to the Fund ("cost method"). The cost
method is used until significant developments affecting the portfolio company
provide a basis for use of an appraisal valuation. Appraisal valuations are
based upon such factors as the portfolio company's earnings, cash flow and net
worth, the market prices for similar securities of comparable companies and an
assessment of the portfolio company's future financial prospects. In a case of
unsuccessful operations, the appraisal may be based upon liquidation value.
Appraisal valuations are necessarily subjective. The Fund also may use, when
available, third-party transactions in a portfolio company's securities as the
basis of valuation ("private market method"). The private market method is used
only with respect to completed transactions or firm offers made by
sophisticated, independent investors.
As of December 31, 1998, the Fund had recorded $309,704 of unrealized gain and
$2,933,508 of unrealized loss on investments. Therefore, as of December 31,
1998, the Fund had recorded a total net unrealized loss on investments of
$2,623,804.
The increase in unrealized loss on investments during the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999 and the cumulative net unrealized loss on
investments as of September 30, 1999 consisted of the following components:

KEMET stock, which trades on the NASDAQ National Market System, closed at
$31.96875 (an average of the closing bid and ask prices) on September 30, 1999.
This price is up significantly from the closing prices of $22.90625 and $11.4375
on June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. Based on the $31.96875
closing trading price of the common stock, the 4,383 shares of common stock that
the Fund held at September 30, 1999, had a market value of $140,119.
As of September 30, 1999, the Fund had written outstanding covered call options
with respect to 4,383 shares of KEMET stock. These options, for which the Fund
received $5,470 of premiums, had a market value of $64,104 as of September 30,
1999.
LMC has successfully reoriented its business away from fleet snow grooming to
the production of light construction vehicles, known as the TrackMaster 85.
Unfortunately, production and moving delays, combined with CIT's unilateral
reductions in loan availability under the company's CIT facility, have
eliminated the working capital necessary for continued vehicle production.
FCM is assessing various options and alternatives including refinancing options,
sales of certain assets, and sale of the company. FCM is also considering the
establishment of TrackMaster as a separate subsidiary and refinancing that
business directly.
All matters relative to LMC's defined contribution pension plan (the "Plan"),
including the attendant litigation have been settled. Mr. Wallace, the former
controlling shareholder of LMC and the Plan trustee, contributed $750,000 to pay
the assessed underfunding. He received Class A preferred stock in return for
this contribution. The company gave Mr. Wallace a full release from all claims
related to this matter and has received letters from both the I.R.S. and the
Department of Labor indicating that they have "accepted" LMC's actions to date.
While this does not mean that future action is precluded, management believes it
to be unlikely.
--------------
TWENTY-THREE
<PAGE> 25
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simultaneous with the above settlement, the Fund converted its revolving notes
that were due October 1, 1999, plus all accrued interest due from LMC, into
Class B preferred stock. Due to the working capital shortage referred to above,
the Fund is no longer accruing interest on the LMC Senior Subordinated Revolving
Notes due October 31, 2000, which it still holds. This situation will continue
indefinitely, unless and until, a refinancing is accomplished. As a further
result of these circumstances, the Fund has created additional reserves against
the carrying values of the Fund's LMC notes and preferred stock. At September
30, 1999, the Fund recorded a writedown of $3,218,070. Thus, at September 30,
1999, the Fund's total LMC investment had a net carrying value of $4,457,431,
versus its cost of $8,533,581.
RBM resumed quarterly interest payments on the notes held by the Fund as of the
second quarter of 1999. At September 30, 1999, RBM held $852,000 of cash and
their line of credit had a zero outstanding balance. RBM appears to have managed
their balance sheet well and their September report states that "RBM still
expects to meet or exceed covenant requirements for the fourth quarter and year
end".
For the eleven months ended September 30, 1999, RBM's revenues were $10.4
million versus a budget of $11 million. Losses continue, but are more favorable
than budgeted. For the year to date, RBM's loss was $1.28 million (pretax)
versus a budgeted loss for the period of $1.77 million. Obviously, this can not
continue for long and RBM's management is trying to rebuild revenues. They
expect October to exceed budget, but only by $100,000, at a $1.3 million level
versus a budget of $1.2 million.
RBM continues to experience high turnover. In the last quarter, the CEO, the
CFO/VP of Finance and the Human Resources Manager have all resigned. The equity
sponsor and majority holder, 13I Investments ("13I"), has taken over direct
management of the company and the CEO of 13I has moved to Colorado Springs in
order to take full time responsibility for the management of RBM.
FCM continues to press for repayment of the Fund's note, or a sale of the
company, without success. To date, RBM has been unsuccessful in refinancing the
Fund's note.
During June 1998, the Fund exchanged its Atlas Environmental, Inc. ("Atlas")
(which was in bankruptcy proceedings) subordinated notes and warrants for
989,414 shares of common stock of WasteMasters, Inc. ("WMI"), an Atlanta Georgia
based waste management company. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Fund
is prohibited from selling its WMI common stock for 24 months. In addition, the
Fund granted the entity acquiring the Fund's Atlas securities a call on the
Fund's WMI common stock during the 24 month lock up period and a right of first
refusal thereafter. The call price is $11.25 per share.
The WMI common stock, which trades on the OTC Bulletin Board System ("WASTE"),
closed at $1.78 (an average of the closing bid and ask prices) on the date of
the exchange
--------------------
TWENTY-FOUR
<PAGE> 26
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(June 3, 1998). Based on this price, the Fund's WMI had a trading value of
$1,761,157 on the date of the exchange. However, due to a number of factors,
including the speculative nature of the WMI stock, the two year lock up period
and the relative size of the Fund's stock position versus the daily trading
volume, FCM has decided to carry the WMI stock at the same $1 nominal value that
the Atlas securities were previously carried by the Fund. The WMI common stock
has recently traded near its 52-week low of $0.025 per share.
The Fund recorded a realized loss of $2,560,453 on the exchange, which was equal
to the amount of the loss which the Fund claimed for income tax purposes from
the disposition of the Atlas securities. The $1,321,794 balance of the
unrealized loss previously recorded by the Fund with respect to the Atlas
securities continues to be carried by the Fund as an unrealized loss.
READINESS FOR YEAR 2000
FCM has completed a review of the accounting and other information systems that
are currently being utilized by FCM and the Fund with regard to Year 2000
issues. This review involved both actual tests of parts of the information
systems that were conducted by third party consultants and representations
received from various software vendors. FCM believes that all of these systems
are Year 2000 compliant. All of the costs associated with this review were paid
by FCM.
FCM also corresponded with appropriate third parties, such as the Fund's
custodian and transfer agent, concerning whether their information systems are
Year 2000 compliant. These third parties have represented that their information
systems are either currently Year 2000 compliant or that they have identified
the scope of required upgrades or changes to their information systems that are
needed and that they have a plan in place to complete these upgrades on a timely
basis.
As a result of the above discussed review, Year 2000 issues are not expected to
have any material adverse effects on the Fund's results of operations or
financial condition.
