Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, 
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, 1996.  The following notes to 
financial statements for activity through June 30, 1997, 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.  
Certain 1996 balances have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 
financial statement presentation.

2.     Financing of Partnership Operations
       -----------------------------------

The Managing General Partners expect cash received from the future 
liquidation of Partnership investments and the collection of notes 
receivable will provide the necessary liquidity to service Partnership debt 
and fund Partnership operations.  The Partnership may be dependent upon the 
financial support of the Managing General Partners to fund operations if 
future proceeds are not received timely.  The Managing General Partners 
have committed to support the Partnership's working capital requirements 
through short-term 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, 1997 and 1996, were as follows:

Reimbursable operating expenses              301,893       545,303

Expenses previously absorbed by General
 Partners                                         --       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.  There were $6,014 and $26,746 due to related 
parties at June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, respectively, for such 
reimbursable expenses.

Amounts payable for management fees were $32,500 at both June 30, 1997, and 
December 31, 1996.  

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 was payable 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.  

4.     Equity Investments

of $459,480 for the Partnership's existing investment.

WorldRes, Inc.
- --------------

In January of 1997, the Partnership invested in the company by 
purchasing 7,396 Series B Preferred shares for $24,998.

Venture Capital Limited Partnership Investments
- -----------------------------------------------

The Partnership recorded a cost basis increase of $36,219 in venture 
capital limited partnership investments during the six months ended June 
30, 1997.  The increase was a result of additional contributions of 
$70,000, partially offset by a return of capital in the form of cash and 
stock distributions of $23,133 and $10,648, respectively.  The 
Partnership recorded a fair value increase of $235,676 as a result of a 
net increase in fair value of the underlying investments, partially 
offset by stock distributions from one venture capital limited 
partnership investment.

During the first half of 1997, the Partnership received common stock 
distributions of Informix Software, Inc., with fair values totaling 
$29,696 (of which $10,648 represented a distribution from returns of 
capital).  These distributions were from profits and were recorded as 
realized gains from venture capital limited partnership investments.

Other Equity Investments
- ------------------------

Other significant changes reflected above relate to market value 
fluctuations or the elimination of a discount relating to selling 
restrictions for publicly-traded portfolio companies.  

Included in the June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, equity investment 
fair values was a $1,000,000 reserve for unrealized loss from a 
contingent liability.  See Note 7 to the financial statements for 
additional disclosure.

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, 1997, the Partnership had unfunded 
commitments as follows:

In 1996, the Partnership jointly guaranteed with two affiliated 
partnerships a 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.  If the portfolio company fails 
to repay the line of credit, the Partnership may be liable up to the 
guarantee amount.  The Partnership has recorded a $1,000,000 reserve 
included in Equity Investments on the Balance Sheet, in the event the 
portfolio company fails to repay the line of credit.

         Condition and Results of Operations

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

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, net cash used by operating 
activities totaled $391,727.  The Partnership paid management fees of 
$194,998 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed related parties 
for operating expenses of $322,625.  In addition, $18,594 was paid to 
the Individual General Partners as compensation for their services.  
Other operating expenses of $169,123 were paid and $313,613 in interest 
income was received.

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership funded 
secured notes receivable totaling $33,902 to a portfolio company in the 
industrial/business automation industry and equity investments of 
$560,215 primarily to portfolio companies in the medical and 
industrial/business automation industries.  Proceeds from sales of 
equity investments were $531,123, of which $60,211 related to sales 
prior to December 31, 1996, which have been settled.  Distributions of 
$23,133 from venture capital limited partnership investments were 
received.  Repayments of convertible and secured notes receivable 
provided cash of $47,065 and $10,157, respectively.  As of June 30, 
1997, the Partnership was committed to fund additional investments 
totaling $267,008 and has outstanding guarantees up to $1,000,000 as 
discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997, were $1,242,719.  Future 
interest income on short-term investments, 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 $2,617,118 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, 
compared to a net loss $3,202,235 for the same period in 1996.  The 
change was primarily due to a $4,045,012 increase in the change in net 
unrealized fair value of equity investments, a $2,357,282 decrease in 
realized losses from investment write-downs, and a $888,025 decrease in 
total operating expenses.  These changes were partially offset by a 
$755,000 decrease in the change in net unrealized fair value of secured 
notes receivable and a $714,589 decrease in net realized gain from sales 
of equity investments.

During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the increase in fair value 
of equity investments of $2,739,852 was primarily due to increases in 
portfolio companies in the medical and microelectronics industries.  
During the same period in 1996, the decrease 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.

The Partnership did not record any realized losses from investment 
write-downs for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  During the same period 
in 1996, realized losses of $2,357,282 mostly related to equity 
investments in the computer systems and software industry.

Total operating expenses were $240,955 and $1,128,980 for the quarters 
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  As explained in Note 3 to 
the financial statements, the Managing General Partners absorbed 
$115,443 during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, and was 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 $240,955 
and $390,585 in the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The 
decrease in operating expenses in the current quarter over the 
comparative period in 1996 was primarily due to a higher level of 
activity required for portfolio management in 1996.

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.  There was no such reclassification for the same period 
in 1997.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, realized gains of $187,529 mainly 
related to the common stock sale of Bolder Technologies Corporation.  
During the same period in 1996, realized gains of $902,118 primarily 
related to the common stock sale of TheraTx, Incorporated.

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 income was $4,404,667 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, 
compared to a net loss of $1,708,231 during the same period in 1996.  
The change was primarily due to a $3,655,436 increase in the change in 
net unrealized fair value of equity investments, a $2,434,373 decrease 
in realized losses from investment write-downs, a $954,806 decrease in 
total operating expenses, and a $204,343 increase in total income.  
These changes were partially offset by a $678,000 decrease in the change 
in net unrealized fair value of secured notes receivable and a $476,063 
decrease net realized gain from sales of equity investments.

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the increase in fair value of 
equity investments of $4,304,761 was primarily due to increases in 
portfolio companies in the medical, microelectronics and communications 
industries, partially offset by decreases in the biomedical and 
industrial/business automation industries.  During the same period in 
1996, the increase of $649,325 was primarily due to increases in 
portfolio companies in the medical and industrial/business automation 
industries, partially offset by decreases in the computer systems and 
software and environmental industries.

The Partnership did not record any realized losses form investment 
write-downs for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  During the same 
period in 1996, realized losses of $2,434,373 mostly related to equity 
investments in the computer systems and software industry.

Total operating expenses were $456,258 and $1,411,064 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  As discussed in the above 
section, the Managing General Partners absorbed $115,443 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996, and was 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 $456,258 and $672,669 
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The 
decrease was mainly due to lower investment operations from lower 
overall portfolio activities.

Total income was $324,653 and $120,310 for the six months ended June 30, 
1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increase was substantially due to 
$280,010 in dividend income from Tessera, Inc.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership recorded an 
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.  There was no such reclassification for the same period 
in 1997.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, realized gains of $426,055 
mainly related to the common stock sale of Bolder Technologies 
Corporation.  During the same period in 1996, realized gains of $902,118 
mostly related to the common stock sale of TheraTx, Incorporated.
