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

1.     General
       -------

In the opinion of the Managing General Partners, the Balance Sheets as 
of June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, and the related Statements of 
Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, 
and Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 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 
June 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.     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.

3.     Related Party Transactions
       --------------------------

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

Amortization of organizational cost               --         3,500
Reimbursable operating expenses              545,303       497,264
Individual General Partners' compensation     17,549        16,849
Expenses absorbed by General Partners       (115,443)           --
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 cost periodically.

Amounts payable for management fees were $32,500 and $66,354 at June 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 are 
not subject to this limitation; consequently, $853,838 is included in 
due to related parties.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, 
operating expenses incurred by the Managing General Partners exceeded 
the limitation by $115,443, resulting in this amount being absorbed by 
the Managing General Partners.  At June 30, 1996, due to related parties 
was $1,000,227 compared to due from related parties of $25,384 at 
December 31, 1995.

4.     Equity Investments

$70,938, partially offset by a stock distribution of $51,773.  The 
Partnership recorded a fair value increase of $152,836 as a result of a 
net increase in fair value of the underlying investments and the effects 
of the transaction described above.

from Informix, Inc., with a fair value of $51,773.  This distribution

</TABLE>

The Partnership had accrued interest of $27,618 and $26,747 at June 30, 
1996, and December 31, 1995, respectively.

Activity in the allowance for loan losses was as follows:

<TABLE>

                                                            =========

</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.

Notes with a total cost basis of $686,636 and $1,835,279 were on 
nonaccrual status due to uncertainties related to borrowers' financial 
conditions at June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, respectively.  The 
Managing General Partners continue to monitor the progress of these 
companies.  The fair values at June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, are 
based on the Managing General Partners' estimate of collectibility of 
these notes.

Refer to Note 4, Equity Investments, for additional information 
regarding the reclassification of notes.

</TABLE>

7.     Commitments and Contingencies
       -----------------------------

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 June 30, 1996, the Partnership had unfunded 
commitments as follows:

<TABLE>

</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.

         Condition and Results of Operations

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

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, net cash used by operating 
activities totaled $542,516.  The Partnership paid management fees of 
$228,852 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed related parties 
for operating expenses of $258,087.  In addition, $17,549 was paid to 
the Individual General Partners as compensation for their services.  
Other operating expenses of $128,322 were paid and $90,294 in interest 
income was received.

During the six months ended June 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 
$3,460,818 primarily to portfolio companies in the medical, 
industrial/business automation, and communications industries.  Proceeds 
from sales of equity investments were $1,017,678.  Repayments of 
convertible and secured notes receivable provided cash of $500,939.  As 
of June 30, 1996, the Partnership was committed to fund additional 
investments totaling $1,140,971 and has outstanding guarantees up to 
$2,000,000 as discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements.

During the first half 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 June 30, 1996, were $1,702,991.  Future 
interest income on short-term investments and notes receivable, proceeds 
from investment sales, operating cash reserves 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 loss was $3,202,235 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, 
compared to $263,638 for the same period in 1995.  The increase in net 
loss was primarily due to a $2,064,180 decrease in the change in net 
unrealized fair value of equity investments, a $1,721,362 increase in 
realized losses from investment write-downs, a $753,396 increase in 
total operating expenses, and a $135,920 decrease in total income.  
These changes were partially offset by a $902,118 increase in realized 
gains from sales of equity investments, a $774,000 increase in the 
change in net unrealized fair value of secured notes receivable, and a 
$101,562 decrease in management fees.

During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the decrease in fair value 
of equity investments of $1,305,160 was primarily due to decreases in 
portfolio companies in the computer systems and software and 
environmental industries, partially offset by increases in the 
industrial/business automation industry.  During the same period in 
1995, increase in fair value of $759,020 was primarily due to portfolio 
companies in the industrial/business automation and communications 
industries, partially offset by decreases in the medical industry.

Realized losses from investment write-downs of $2,357,282 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996, mostly related to equity investments in the 
computer systems and software industry.  During the same period in 1995, 
realized losses from investment write-downs of $635,920 primarily 
related to the write-down of portfolio companies in the retail/consumer 
products and communications industries. 

Total operating expenses were $1,128,980 for the quarter ended June 30, 
1996, compared to $375,584 for the same period in 1995.  As explained in 
Note 3 to the financial statements, the Managing General Partners 
absorbed $115,443 during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, and will be 
reimbursed $853,838 of prior year expenses not subject to the 
limitation.  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 $390,585 and $375,584 in the second quarters of 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  The slight increase was primarily due to higher computer 
services and investment operations expenses, partially offset by lower 
administrative and investor services expenses.

Total income was $42,504 and $178,424 for the three months ended June 
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.

For the three months ended June 30, 1996, realized gains of $902,118 
mostly related to the common stock sale of TheraTx, Incorporated.  There 
were no such gains recorded for the same period in 1995.

During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership recorded an 
increase in fair value of secured notes receivable of $755,000 due to 
the reclassification of secured notes receivable totaling $1,275,000 to 
equity investments as these notes had been reflected with fair values 
less than cost.  A $19,000 decrease was recorded for the same period in 
1995.

Management fees were $97,499 and $199,061 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Pursuant to the Partnership 
Agreement, management fees decreased from two percent to one percent per 
annum beginning in January of 1996.

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 six months compared to corresponding six months in the preceding 
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
year
- ----

Net loss was $1,708,231 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared 
to a net income of $124,671 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 $762,442 increase in operating expenses, and a 
$263,325 decrease in total income.  These changes were partially offset 
by a $811,000 increase in the change in net unrealized change in the 
fair value of secured notes receivable and a $203,165 decrease in 
management fees.

During the six months ended June 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 $1,411,064 and $648,622 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  As discussed in the above 
section, the Managing General Partners absorbed $115,443 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996, and will be reimbursed $853,838 of prior 
year expenses not subject to the limitation.  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 $672,669 and $648,622 
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The 
slight increase was primarily due to higher investment operations and 
computer services expenses, partially offset by lower administrative and 
investor services expenses.

Total income was $120,310 and $383,635 for the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership recorded a 
increase in fair value of secured notes receivable of $678,000 due to 
the reclassification of secured notes receivable totaling $1,275,000 to 
equity investments as these notes had been reflected with fair values 
less than cost.  A $133,000 decrease was recorded for the same period in 
1995.

Management fees were $194,998 and $398,163 for the six months ended June 
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  As discussed above, management fees 
decreased from two percent to one percent per annum beginning in January 
of 1996.
