                 Independent Accountant's Report



The Partners of
Penfield Partners, L.P.

     We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Assets and
Liabilities, including the Schedule of Investments of Penfield
Partners, L.P. as of June 30, 1999 and the related Statements of
Operations and Changes in Partners' Capital for the six months
then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the General Partners.

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.  A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data
and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim
period financial statements for them to be in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

     The Statement of Changes in Partners' Capital for the year
ended December 31, 1998 was audited by us, and we expressed an
unqualified opinion on it in our report dated January 29, 1999,
but we have not performed any audit procedures since that date.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          June 30, 1999

   (Information Subsequent to December 31, 1998 is Unaudited)

ORGANIZATION   Penfield Partners, L.P.("the Fund") was organized
               in November 1988 in the State of Delaware as a
               limited partnership for the purpose of trading in
               securities.  The Fund will continue until December
               31, 2028 unless sooner terminated as provided for
               in the Partnership Agreement.  The Fund's
               investment objective is to seek long-term capital
               appreciation by investing and trading primarily in
               equity securities and securities with equity
               features of publicly listed companies.

               Effective July 1, 1994, the Fund registered under
               the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") to
               operate as a nondiversified management company
               and a closed-end interval fund.

REPURCHASE     The Fund has adopted certain policies for its
POLICIES       repurchases of units from partners as fundamental
               policies which, under Rule 23c-3 promulgated under
               the 1940 Act, may not be changed without the vote
               of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
               units (as determined under the 1940 Act).  These
               repurchase policies are as follows:

                 (a) The Fund will offer to repurchase units at
               intervals of six months in accordance with the
               Fund's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
               Partnership ("Partnership Agreement").

                 (b) The Fund will allow its partners to submit
               requests for repurchases of units by June 16th and
               December 17th of each year.

                 (c) The Fund will establish a maximum of
               fourteen days between each deadline for
               repurchase requests and the applicable repurchase
               date such that repurchases of units shall occur on
               June 30th and December 31st of each year.

               The Individual General Partners are authorized
               under the Partnership Agreement to establish other
               policies relating to

               repurchases of units that are consistent with the
               1940 Act.  The repurchase of units by the Fund
               allows partners to redeem units semi-annually,
               subject to the terms and limitations set forth in
               the Partnership Agreement.

               On June 3, 1999, the Fund offered to repurchase up
               to 25% of the outstanding units of the Fund.
               Partners holding 1% of the units outstanding prior
               to the repurchases on June 30, 1999 equal to
               $258,285 elected to tender their units to the Fund
               for repurchase.

FINANCIAL      The preparation of financial statements in
STATEMENT      conformity with generally accepted accounting
ESTIMATES      principles may require 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.

VALUATION OF   Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on
SECURITIES     a trade date basis.

               Investments in securities and securities sold
               short which are traded on a national securities
               exchange or listed on NASDAQ are valued at the
               last reported sales price on the last business day
               of the year.  Investments in securities and
               securities sold short which are traded in the
               over-the-counter market are valued at the average
               of the bid and asked prices on the last trade
               date.

               Securities for which market quotations are not
               readily available are valued at their fair value
               as determined in good faith by the Individual
               General Partners.

   (Information Subsequent to December 31, 1998 is Unaudited)


ORGANIZATION   Organization costs are being amortized on a
COSTS          straight-line basis over a period of 60 months
               until June 30, 1999, when they became fully
               amortized.


INCOME TAXES   The Fund is not subject to income taxes.  The
               partners report their distributive share of
               realized income or loss on their own tax returns.

CUSTODY        The Partnership maintains a brokerage account with
CONCENTRATIONS ING Baring Furman Selz LLC.  The Securities
               Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) insures the
               brokerage account to the extent of $500,000
               (including up to $100,000 for cash).  Amounts in
               excess of these limits are covered by additional
               insurance maintained by the broker.

SECURITIES     The Fund is subject to certain inherent risks
SOLD SHORT     arising from its activities of selling securities
               short.  The ultimate cost to the Fund to acquire
               these securities may exceed the liability
               reflected in the financial statements.  In
               addition, the Fund is required to maintain
               collateral with the broker to secure these short
               positions.

ALLOCATION OF  The net income of the Fund is allocated
INCOME (LOSS)  semiannually on June 30th and December 31st,
               20% to the Corporate General Partner and 80% to
               all partners in proportion to the number of units
               held by each.  A net loss is allocated among the
               partners in proportion to the number of units
               owned by each.  If there is a loss for an
               accounting period, the 20% allocation to the
               Corporate General Partner will not apply to the
               future periods until the loss has been recovered.

               For semiannual period ended June 30, 1999, the
               fund had net income of $2,936,283.  For purposes
               of the 20% allocation, the net income was reduced
               by a loss carryover from December 31, 1998 of
               $1,247,044.

ALLOCATION OF  All net income allocated to partners is
INCOME (LOSS)  reinvested.  In order to maintain a $25,000 price
(CONTINUED)    per unit, the number of units held by each partner
               at the close of each semiannual period is adjusted
               to equal the partner's capital account divided by
               $25,000.


RELATED        The Administrative Agreement provides for fees
PARTY          payable to the Fund's administrator, the general
TRANSACTIONS   partner of the Corporate General Partner.  The
               administrator's fee is calculated at a rate of
               .0625% of the net asset value of the Fund at the
               beginning of each month (.75% per annum).

               A fee is payable to each of the Independent
               Individual General Partners at $10,000 per annum,
               plus out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in
               performing their duties under the Partnership
               Agreement.

               The accompanying Statement of Assets and
               Liabilities includes unpaid fees to the
               administrator of $48,130.

               At June 30, 1999 the Fund has an investment in
               Transnational Industries, a private placement
               security in which an Individual General Partner is
               a director and an investor through another entity.
               The investment is valued at $286,160.

PURCHASES AND  Purchases and sales of securities aggregated
SALES OF       $33,240,433 and $30,233,648, respectively.
