NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
- ----------------------------------------

1.     General
       -------

In the opinion of the Managing General Partners, the Balance Sheets as 
of September 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, and the related Statements 
of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 
1995, and Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 
30, 1996 and 1995, reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a 
fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and 
cash flows for such periods.  These statements should be read in 
conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 
December 31, 1995.  The following notes to financial statements for 
activity through September 30, 1996, supplement those included in the 
Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Allocation of income and loss to Limited 
and General Partners is based on cumulative income and loss.  
Adjustments, if any, are reflected in the current quarter balances. 

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     --------------------------------------------

The following accounting policy is in addition to those disclosed in the 
1995, Annual Report on Form 10-K:

        Other Investments
        -----------------

At times, the Partnership will receive other assets in satisfaction of 
secured notes receivable or equity investments in portfolio companies.  
When the asset is received, existing investment balances in excess of 
the fair value of the asset received are written off.

3.   Financing of Partnership Operations
     -------------------------------------

The Managing General Partners expect cash received from the liquidation 
of Partnership investments and the collection of notes receivable will 
provide the necessary liquidity to service Partnership debt and fund 
Partnership operations.  Until such future proceeds are received, the 
Partnership is dependent upon the financial support of the Managing 
General Partners to fund operations.  The Managing General Partners have 
committed to support the Partnership's working capital requirements 
through advances as necessary.

4.   Related Party Transactions
     --------------------------

Related party costs are included in costs and expenses shown on the 
Statements of Operations.  Related party costs for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, were as follows:

Expenses not subject to limitation            853,838           --

</TABLE>

Certain reimbursable expenses have been accrued based upon interim 
estimates prepared by the Managing General Partners and are adjusted to 
actual costs periodically.

Amounts payable for management fees were $32,500 and $66,354 at 
September 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, respectively.  Pursuant to 
the Partnership Agreement, beginning January 2, 1996, management fees 
changed from two percent to one percent per annum of total Limited 
Partner capital contributions.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership shall reimburse 
the Managing General Partners for operational costs incurred by the 
Managing General Partners in conjunction with the business of the 
Partnership.  The Partnership may not pay or reimburse the Managing 
General Partners for operational costs that aggregate more than 1% of 
total Limited Partner capital contributions.  During 1996, it was 
determined that operational costs paid directly by the Partnership were 
not subject to this limitation; consequently, $853,838 was returned to 
the Managing General Partners.  For the nine months ended September 30, 
1996 and 1995, operating expenses incurred by the Managing General 
Partners exceeded the limitation by $352,093 and $102,578, respectively, 
resulting in these amounts being absorbed by the Managing General 
Partners.  Due to related parties was $357,281 at September 30, 1996, 
compared to due from related parties of $25,384 at December 31, 1995, 
for reimbursable operating expenses.

</TABLE>

The allowance for loan losses is adjusted quarterly based upon changes 
to the portfolio size and risk profile.  Although the allowance is 
established by evaluating individual debtor repayment ability, the 
allowance represents the Managing General Partners' assessment of the 
portfolio as a whole.

During the third quarter of 1996, the Partnership reclassified $681,565 
in secured notes receivable related to a portfolio company in the 
environmental industry to other investments as the notes were sold to a 
third party in exchange for a portion of the net proceeds collectible 
from the portfolio company.

reclassification of notes to equity investments.

8.     Commitments, Contingencies and Subsequent Events
       ------------------------------------------------

The Partnership is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-
sheet risk in the normal course of its business.  Generally, these 
instruments are commitments for future equity fundings, venture capital 
limited partnership investments, equipment financing commitments, or 
accounts receivable lines of credit that are outstanding but not 
currently fully utilized.  As they do not represent current outstanding 
balances, these unfunded commitments are properly not recognized in the 
financial statements.  At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had 
unfunded commitments as follows:

</TABLE>

In September of 1995, the Partnership jointly guaranteed with two 
affiliated partnerships a $2,000,000 line of credit between a financial 
institution and a portfolio company in the computer systems and software 
industry of which the Partnership's share is $1,000,000.  However, if 
the affiliated partnerships are unable to finance their portion of the 
guarantee, the Partnership's share may increase up to $2,000,000.  While 
the Partnership expects the portfolio company to repay the line of 
credit, if the portfolio company fails to do so, the Partnership may be 
liable up to the guarantee amount.

In October of 1996, the $2,000,000 guarantee discussed above was reduced 
to $1,000,000 as the affiliated partnerships have assumed a portion of 
the financial institution's line of credit.  The remaining $1,000,000 is 
guaranteed by the Partnership but the affiliated partnerships remain 
joint guarantors.

         Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net cash used by 
operating activities totaled $1,281,449.  The Partnership paid 
management fees of $326,350 to the Managing General Partners and 
reimbursed related parties for operating expenses of $894,156.  In 
addition, $25,376 was paid to the Individual General Partners as 
compensation for their services.  Other operating expenses of $195,777 
were paid and $160,210 in interest income was received.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership funded 
secured notes receivable totaling $208,334 to a portfolio company in the 
computer systems and software industry and equity investments of 
$4,463,764 primarily to portfolio companies in the medical, 
industrial/business automation, and biotechnology industries.  Proceeds 
from sales of equity investments were $1,017,678.  Repayments of 
convertible and secured notes receivable provided cash of $539,933.  As 
of September 30, 1996, the Partnership was committed to fund additional 
investments totaling $977,294 and has outstanding guarantees up to 
$2,000,000 as disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements.  However, 
at October 31, 1996, the outstanding guarantee decreased to $1,000,000.  

During the first nine months of 1996, Bolder Technologies, Inc., 
Conversion Technologies International, Inc., and Physiometrix, Inc., 
completed their initial public offerings ("IPOs").  Although the 
Partnership's holdings in these companies are subject to selling 
restrictions, the IPOs indicate potential future liquidity for these 
investments.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1996, were $6,397.  Proceeds 
from investment sales and Managing General Partners' support are 
expected to be adequate to fund Partnership operations through the next 
twelve months.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Current quarter compared to corresponding quarter in the preceding year
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income was $923,866 and $107,550 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase in net income 
was primarily due to increases of $432,000 and $269,555 in the changes 
in net unrealized fair value of secured notes receivable and equity 
investments, respectively, a $101,562 decrease in management fees, and a 
$63,763 decrease in total operating expenses.  These changes were 
partially offset by a $92,870 decrease in total income.

The Partnership recorded an increase in the fair value of secured notes 
receivable of $277,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, due to 
the reclassification of secured notes receivable to other investments as 
these notes had been reflected with fair values less than cost.  A 
$155,000 decrease was recorded for the same period in 1995.

During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the increase in the 
fair value of equity investments of $774,890 was primarily due to 
increases in portfolio companies in the computer systems and software, 
and industrial/business automation industries, partially offset by 
decreases in the environmental, and medical industries.  During the same 
period in 1995, the increase in fair value of $505,335 was primarily due 
to increases in the medical and communications industries.

Management fees were $97,498 and $199,060 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Pursuant to the Partnership 
Agreement, management fees decreased from two percent to one percent per 
annum of total Limited Partner capital contribution beginning in January 
of 1996.

Total operating expenses were $87,615 for the quarter ended September 
30, 1996, compared to $151,378 for the same period in 1995.  Such 
expenses were net of amounts absorbed by the Managing General Partners 
of $236,650 and $102,578 during the quarters ended September 30, 1996 
and 1995, respectively.  Had the limitation not been in effect, total 
operating expenses would have been $324,265 and $253,956 in the third 
quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase was primarily due 
to higher 1996 administrative and investor services expenses which 
included allocable overhead costs as disclosed in the 1995 Annual 
Report.

Total income was $40,994 and $133,864 for the quarters ended September 
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The decrease was mainly due to lower 
cash and cash equivalents balances as a result of new and follow-on 
investments.

Given the inherent risk associated with the business of the Partnership, 
the future performance of the portfolio company investments may 
significantly impact future operations.

Current nine months compared to corresponding nine months in the 
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
preceding year
- --------------

Net loss was $784,365 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, 
compared to net income of $232,221 during the same period in 1995.  The 
change was primarily due to a $1,794,453 increase in realized losses 
from investment write-downs, a $698,679 increase in total operating 
expenses, and a $356,195 decrease in total income.  These changes were 
partially offset by a $1,243,000 increase in the change in net 
unrealized change in the fair value of secured notes receivable, a 
$304,727 decrease in management fees, and a $316,322 increase in the 
change in net unrealized change in fair value of equity investments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, realized losses from 
investment write-downs of $2,434,373 mostly related to equity 
investments in the computer systems and software industry.  In 1995, 
realized losses of $639,920 primarily related to portfolio companies in 
the retail/consumer products and communications industries.

Total operating expenses were $1,498,679 and $800,000 for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Such expenses 
were net of amounts absorbed by the Managing General Partners of 
$352,093 and $102,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 
1995, respectively.  In addition, in 1996, $853,838 of direct 
Partnership expenses not subject to the limitation was returned to the 
Managing General Partners as disclosed in Note 4 to the financial 
statements.  Had this amount not been recorded as an expense in 1996 and 
had the limitation not been in effect, total operating expenses would 
have been $996,934 and $902,578 during the nine months ended September 
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase was primarily due to 
higher 1996 administrative and investor services expenses which included 
allocable overhead costs.  

Total income was $161,304 and $517,499 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The decrease was primarily 
due to lower cash and cash equivalents balances resulting from new and 
follow-on investments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership 
recorded a $955,000 increase in secured notes receivable fair value.  
The increase was due to the reclassification of secured notes receivable 
of $1,275,000 and $681,565 to equity investments and other investments, 
respectively, as these notes had been reflected with fair values less 
than cost.  A $288,000 decrease was recorded for the same period in 
1995.

Management fees were $292,496 and $597,223 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  As discussed above, 
management fees decreased from two percent to one percent per annum 
beginning in January of 1996.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the increase in fair 
value of equity investments of $1,424,215 was primarily due to portfolio 
companies in the industrial/business automation, and medical industries, 
partially offset by decreases in the environmental, and computer systems 
and software industries.  During the same period in 1995, the increase 
of $1,107,893 was partially due to portfolio companies in the 
microelectronics, communications, and retail/consumer products 
industries, partially offset by decreases in the medical industry.
