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

1.     General
       -------

In the opinion of the Managing General Partners, the Balance Sheets as of 
September 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, and the related Statements of 
Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, 
and Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 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 September 
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 nine months ended 
September 30, 1997 and 1996, were as follows:

</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 $5,296 and $26,746 due to related 
parties at September 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, respectively, for 
such reimbursable expenses.

Amounts payable for management fees were $32,500 at both September 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 nine months 
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, operating expenses 
incurred by the Managing General Partners exceeded the limitation by 
$103,318 and $352,093, resulting in this amount being absorbed by the 
Managing General Partners.

the Partnership's existing investment.

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

The Partnership recorded a cost basis decrease of $13,481 in venture 
capital limited partnership investments during the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997.  The decrease was a result of additional 
contributions of $95,000, offset by a return of capital in the form of 
cash and stock distributions of $23,133 and $10,648, respectively, and 
the redemption of 1,200 shares of O,W&W Pacrim Investments Limited for 
$74,700.  The Partnership recorded a fair value increase of $173,476 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 nine months of 1997, the Partnership received cash 
distributions of $19,709 and common stock distributions of Informix 
Software, Inc., with a fair value of $29,696 (of which $10,648 
represented a distribution from a return of capital) and Metromail, Inc. 
with a fair value of $46,723.  These distributions 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.  The Partnership 
may not sell its Megabios shares before March 1998.  Portions of the 
Partnership's Physiometrix shares are restricted.

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 September 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.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net cash used by 
operating activities totaled $676,511.  The Partnership paid management 
fees of $292,496 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed related 
parties for operating expenses of $439,858.  In addition, $26,800 was 
paid to the Individual General Partners as compensation for their 
services.  Other operating expenses of $237,807 were paid and $320,450 
in interest and dividend income was received.

During the nine months ended September 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 
$1,377,335 primarily to portfolio companies in the medical, 
biotechnology and industrial/business automation industries.  Proceeds 
from sales of equity investments were $883,097, of which $60,211 related 
to sales prior to December 31, 1996, which have been settled.  
Distributions of $117,537 from venture capital limited partnership 
investments were received.  Repayments of convertible and secured notes 
receivable provided cash of $47,065 and $45,580, respectively.  As of 
September 30, 1997, the Partnership was committed to fund additional 
investments totaling $454,469 and has outstanding guarantees up to 
$1,000,000 as discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1997, were $622,616.  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 $3,956,570 and $923,866 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The change was primarily due 
to a $3,459,750 increase in the change in net unrealized fair value of 
equity investments and a $204,104 increase in net realized gain from 
equity investment sales.  These changes were partially offset by 
decreases of $277,000 and $265,720 in the change in net unrealized fair 
value of secured notes receivable and other investments, respectively, 
and a $109,461 increase in operating expenses.

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the increase in fair 
value of equity investments of $4,234,640 was primarily due to increases 
in portfolio companies in the medical, computer systems and software, 
and biotechnology industries.  During the same period in 1996, the 
increase of $774,890 was primarily due to decreases in portfolio 
companies in the computer systems and software and industrial/business 
automation industries, partially offset by decreases in the 
environmental and medical industries.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, realized gains of $204,104 
mainly related to the common stock sale of Bolder Technologies 
Corporation.  There were no sales of equity investments in the same 
quarter of 1996.

During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership 
recorded an increase in fair value of secured notes receivable of 
$277,000 due to the reclassification of secured notes receivable to 
other investments as these notes had been reflected with fair values 
less than cost.  There was no such reclassification for the same period 
in 1997.

During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership recorded a 
$265,720 decrease in the fair value of other investments based on the 
opinion of the Managing General Partners.

Total operating expenses were $197,076 and $87,615 for the quarters 
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  As explained in Note 3 
to the financial statements, the Managing General Partners absorbed 
$103,318 and $236,650 during the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 
1996, respectively.  Had the limitation not been in effect, total 
operating expenses would have been $300,394 and $324,265 in the third 
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.  This decrease was partially offset by the 
relocation of the Partnership's administrative and investor service 
operations to Santa Fe, New Mexico in the third quarter of 1997.  This 
relocation is expected to lower the future operational costs of the 
Partnership sufficient to recoup the initial relocation expenses 
incurred, and provide a meaningful reduction in ongoing operational 
costs.

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 income was $8,361,237 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, 
compared to a net loss of $784,365 during the same period in 1996.  The 
change was primarily due to a $7,115,186 increase in the change in net 
unrealized fair value of equity investments, a $2,434,373 decrease in 
realized losses from investment write-downs, an $845,345 decrease in 
total operating expenses, and a $183,243 increase in total income.  
These changes were partially offset by a $955,000 decrease in the change 
in net unrealized fair value of secured notes receivable, a $271,959 
decrease in net realized gain from sales of equity investments, and a 
$265,720 decrease in the fair value of other investments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the increase in fair 
value of equity investments of $8,539,401 was primarily due to increases 
in portfolio companies in the medical, microelectronics, biotechnology, 
and computer systems and software industries, partially offset by 
decreases in the biomedical and industrial/business automation 
industries.  During the same period in 1996, the increase of $1,424,215 
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 nine months ended September 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 $653,334 and $1,498,679 for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  As discussed in 
Note 3 to the financial statements, the Managing General Partners 
absorbed $103,318 and $352,093 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1997 and 1996, respectively, and was reimbursed $853,838 in 1996 for 
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 $756,652 and $996,934 
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  
The decrease was mainly due to lower investment operations from lower 
overall portfolio activities.

Total income was $344,547 and $161,304 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increase was 
substantially due to $280,010 in dividend income from Tessera, Inc., 
partially offset by a decrease in interest income due to lower cash 
balances and lower secured notes receivable outstanding.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership 
recorded an increase in fair value of secured notes receivable of 
$955,000 due to the reclassification of secured notes receivable 
totaling $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.  There was no such reclassification for the same 
period in 1997.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, realized gains of $630,159 
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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership 
recorded a $265,720 decrease in the fair value of other investments 
based on the opinion of the Managing General Partners.
