Item 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
- ------   -------------------------------------------------
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         -----------------------------------

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

During 1996, net cash used by operating activities totaled 
$1,770,131.  The Partnership paid management fees of 
$423,849 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed 
related parties for operating expenses of $1,201,708.  In 
addition, $34,331 was paid to the Individual General 
Partners as compensation for their services.  Other 
operating expenses of $276,630 were paid.  The Partnership 
received $166,387 in interest income.

In 1996, the Partnership issued $208,334 in secured notes 
receivable to a portfolio company in the computer systems 
and software industry.  Equity investments of $4,843,447 
were funded primarily to portfolio companies in the medical 
and industrial/business automation industries.  Repayments 
of secured and convertible notes receivable during 1996 
provided cash of $547,440.  Proceeds from the sale of 
equity investments were $3,466,227 and distributions of 
$29,288 were received from venture capital limited 
partnership investments.  At December 31, 1996, the 
Partnership had commitments to fund additional investments 
totaling $542,294 and had an outstanding guarantee of 
$1,000,000 as discussed in Note 10 to the financial 
statements.

During 1996, Bolder Technologies Corporation, CV 
Therapeutics, Inc., Conversion Technologies International, 
Inc., and Physiometrix, Inc., completed their initial 
public offerings ("IPOs").  Although a portion of the 
Partnership's holdings are subject to selling restrictions, 
these IPOs indicate potential future liquidity for the 
Partnership's investments.

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996, were 
$1,617,085.  Future proceeds from investment sales along 
with Managing General Partners' support are expected to be 
adequate to fund Partnership operations through the next 
twelve months.

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

1996 compared to 1995
- ---------------------
Net loss was $650,600 in 1996, compared to $2,881,740 in 
1995.  The decrease in net loss was primarily due to 
increases of $1,350,000 and $1,254,079 in the changes in 
net unrealized fair value of secured notes receivable and 
equity investments, respectively, a $1,238,545 increase in 
net realized gain from sales of equity investments, and a 
$406,289 decrease in management fees.  These changes were 
partially offset by a $912,320 increase in realized losses 
from investment write-downs, a $688,552 increase in total 
operating expenses and a $443,154 decrease in total 
interest income.

During 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 $395,000 
decrease was recorded in 1995.

During 1996, the increase in fair value of equity 
investments of $2,019,333 was primarily due to portfolio 
companies in the medical, computer systems and software, 
and communications industries, partially offset by 
decreases in the biotechnology and environmental 
industries.  The 1996 increase was offset by a $1,000,000 
reserve for a contingent liability as disclosed in Note 10 
of the financial statements.  During 1995, the increase of 
$765,254 was primarily due to portfolio companies in the 
communications, microelectronics, and retail/consumer 
products industries, partially offset by decreases in the 
medical industry.

During 1996, net realized gain from sales of equity 
investments of $2,174,495 was mostly due to the sales of 
common stock of Bolder Technologies Corporation, and 
TheraTx, Incorporated.  During 1995, net realized gain of 
$935,950 was mostly due to the partial sales of common 
stock of UroMed Corporation and TheraTx, Incorporated.

Management fees were $389,995 and $796,284 for 1996 and 
1995, respectively.  As discussed in Note 4 to the 
financial statements, management fees decreased from two 
percent to one percent per annum of total Limited Partner 
capital contributions beginning in January of 1996.

During 1996, realized losses from investment write-downs of 
$4,049,697 primarily related to portfolio companies in the 
computer systems and software and environmental industries.  
During 1995, realized losses of $3,317,377 primarily 
related to portfolio companies in the environmental, 
medical and retail/consumer products industries.

Total operating expenses were $1,549,881 and $861,329 for 
1996 and 1995, respectively.  As disclosed in Note 4 to the 
financial statements, the Partnership may not reimburse the 
General Partners for expenses that aggregate more than one 
percent of total Limited Partner capital contributions.  As 
a result, operating expenses of $531,571 and $770,116 were 
absorbed by the General Partners in 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  During 1996, it was determined that certain 
operational costs paid directly by the Partnership were not 
subject to the limitation.  Consequently, in 1996, $853,838 
of direct Partnership expenses previously absorbed by the 
General Partners were recognized as additional expenses.  
Also disclosed in Note 4, 1995 expenses included expenses 
of $453,884 not previously recognized by the Partnership of 
which $316,543 related to prior years.  Had the limitation 
not been in effect and had the additional expenses been 
recorded in prior years, total operating expenses would 
have been $1,227,614 and $1,314,902 in 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  

Total interest income was $177,557 and $620,711 for 1996 
and 1995, respectively.  The decrease was primarily due to 
lower cash and cash equivalents balances resulting from 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.

1995 compared to 1994
- ---------------------
Net loss was $2,881,740 in 1995 compared to a net income of 
$1,221,882 in 1994.  The decrease was primarily due to a 
$2,274,029 decrease in net realized gain from sales of 
equity investments, a $2,596,252 increase in realized 
losses from investment write-downs and a $322,600 decrease 
in interest income. These changes were partially offset by 
a $1,079,336 increase in the change in net unrealized fair 
value of equity investments.

Net realized gain from sales of equity investments of 
$935,950 for 1995 related to the partial sales of UroMed 
Corporation and TheraTx, Incorporated.  During 1994 
$3,209,979 in net realized gain related to the sales of 
TheraTx, Incorporated, UroMed Corporation, Erox 
Corporation, and Orthologic Corporation.

Realized losses from investment write-downs of $3,137,377 
during 1995 primarily related to portfolio companies in the 
environmental, medical and retail/consumer products 
industries.  In 1994, the Partnership realized losses from 
investment write-downs of $541,125 related to portfolio 
companies in the medical and environmental industries.

Total interest income was $620,711 and $943,311 during 1995 
and 1994, respectively.  The decrease was primarily due to 
lower secured notes receivable interest income resulting 
from notes placed on nonaccrual status.

During 1995, the increase in fair value of equity 
investments of $765,254 was primarily due to portfolio 
companies in the communications, microelectronics, and 
retail/consumer products industries, partially offset by 
decreases in portfolio companies in the medical industry.  
During 1994, the decrease of $314,082 was primarily due to 
decreases in portfolio companies in the biomedical, 
retail/consumer products and communications industries, 
partially offset by increases in portfolio companies in the 
medical industry.

Total operating expenses were $861,329 and $800,000 in 1995 
and 1994, respectively.  Pursuant to the Partnership 
Agreement, the Partnership may not reimburse the General 
Partners for expenses that aggregate more than 2% of total 
Limited Partner capital contributions.  As a result, 
operating expenses of $770,116 and $287,129 were absorbed 
by the General Partners in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  In 
addition, as disclosed above, 1995 operating expenses 
included additional administrative and investor services 
expenses of $453,884 of which $61,329 related to a prior 
year in which the limitation was not in effect.  Had the 
limitation not been in effect and had the additional 
expenses been recorded in prior years, total operating 
expenses in 1995 and 1994 would have been $1,314,902 and 
$1,179,542, respectively.  The increase of $135,360 was 
primarily due to higher investment operations and 
administrative and investor services expenses resulting 
from higher overall portfolio activities.

                     ----------------------------

The Partners
Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund, 
L.P.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Technology 
Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund, L.P. (a 
Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and 
the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash 
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 
31, 1996.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted 
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and 
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit 
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts 
and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures 
included confirmation of certain securities and loans owned, by 
correspondence with the individual investee and borrowing companies, 
and a physical examination of those securities held by a 
safeguarding agent as of December 31, 1996 and 1995.  An audit also 
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund, 
L.P. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -----------------------------

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    ------------------------------------------

Organization
- ------------

Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund, 
L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the 
laws of the State of Delaware on June 26, 1989.  The purpose of the 
Partnership is to make venture capital investments in emerging growth 
companies.  The Partnership elected to be a business development 
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 
"Act"), and operates as a nondiversified investment company as that 
term is defined in the Act.  The Managing General Partners are 
Technology Funding Ltd. ("TFL") and Technology Funding Inc. ("TFI"), 
a wholly-owned subsidiary of TFL.  There are also three Individual 
General Partners.

The Partnership offering commenced in May of 1990.  On January 2, 
1991, the minimum number of Units required to commence Partnership 
operations (15,000) had been sold.  The offering terminated with 
400,000 Units sold on December 31, 1992.  The Partnership Agreement 
provides that the Partnership will continue until December 31, 1998, 
unless further extended for up to two additional two-year periods 
from such date if the Managing General Partners so determine or 
unless sooner dissolved.

Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates
- --------------------------------------------------------

These financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of 
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles.  This required management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and disclosure on 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.

The financial statements included marketable and non-marketable 
investments of $27,395,375 and $25,288,790 (95% and 85% of partners' 
capital) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995.  For the non-marketable 
investments, the Managing General Partners have estimated the fair 
value of such investments in the absence of readily ascertainable 
market values.  Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, 
those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that 
would have been used had a ready market for investment existed, and 
the differences could be material.  In addition, for certain publicly 
traded investments that may not be marketable due to selling 
restrictions, the Managing General Partners have applied an 
illiquidity discount of up to 33% in determining fair value as 
discussed below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents are principally comprised of cash invested 
in demand accounts, money market instruments, and commercial paper 
and are stated at cost plus accrued interest.  The Partnership 
considers all money market and short-term investments with an 
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Organizational Costs
- --------------------

Organizational costs of $35,000 are amortized over 60 months using 
the straight-line method.

Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------

No provision for income taxes has been made by the Partnership as the 
Partnership is not directly subject to taxation.  The partners are to 
report their respective shares of Partnership income or loss on their 
individual tax returns.  

Since the accompanying financial statements are prepared using 
generally accepted accounting principles which may not equate to tax 
accounting, the Partnership's total tax basis in investments was 
higher than the reported total cost basis of $21,029,542 by 
$2,397,762 as of December 31, 1996.

Net Realized Income (Loss) Per Unit
- -----------------------------------

Net realized income (loss) per Unit is calculated by dividing the 
weighted average number of Units outstanding (400,000) at December 
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 into total net realized income (loss) 
allocated to the Limited Partners.  The Managing General Partners 
contributed an amount equal to 0.1% of total Limited Partner capital 
contributions and did not receive any Partnership Units.

Investments:
- -----------

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the 
Partnership's method of accounting for investments is the fair value 
basis used for investment companies.  The fair value of Partnership 
investments is their initial cost basis with changes as noted below:

     Equity Investments
     ------------------

The fair value for publicly-traded equity investments (marketable 
equity securities) is based upon the five-day-average closing sales 
price or bid/ask price that is available on a national securities 
exchange or over-the-counter market.  Certain publicly-traded equity 
investments may not be marketable due to selling restrictions.  For 
publicly-traded equity investments with selling restrictions, an 
illiquidity discount of up to 33% is applied when determining the 
fair value; the actual discount percentage is based on the type and 
length of the restrictions.  Sales of equity investments are recorded 
on the trade date.  The basis on which cost is determined in 
computing realized gains or losses is generally specific 
identification.

Other equity investments, which are not publicly traded, are 
generally valued utilizing pricing obtained from the most recent 
round of third-party financings.  Valuation is estimated quarterly by 
the Managing General Partners.  Included in equity investments are 
convertible and subordinated notes receivable as repayment of these 
notes generally occur through conversion into equity investments.

Venture capital limited partnership investments are initially 
recorded at cost and reduced for distributions that are a return of 
capital.  Distributions from limited partnership cumulative earnings 
are reflected as realized gains by the Partnership.

Equity and venture capital limited partnership investments with 
temporary changes in fair value result in increases or decreases to 
the unrealized fair value of equity investments.  The cost basis does 
not change.  In the case of an other than temporary decline in value 
below cost basis, an appropriate reduction in the cost basis is 
recognized as a realized loss with the fair value being adjusted to 
match the new cost basis.  Adjustments to fair value basis are 
reflected as "Change in net unrealized fair value of equity 
investments."  Cost basis adjustments are reflected as "Realized 
losses from investment write-downs" or "Net realized loss from 
venture capital limited partnership investments" on the Statements of 
Operations.

     Secured Notes Receivable, net
     -----------------------------

The secured notes receivable portfolio includes accrued interest less 
the discount related to warrants and the allowance for loan losses.  
The portfolio approximates fair value through inclusion of an 
allowance for loan losses.  The allowance for loan losses is reviewed 
quarterly by the Managing General Partners and is adjusted to a level 
deemed adequate to cover possible losses inherent in notes and 
unfunded commitments.  Notes receivable are placed on nonaccrual 
status when, in the opinion of the Managing General Partners, the 
future collectibility of interest or principal is in doubt.

In conjunction with the secured notes issued to portfolio companies, 
the Partnership has received warrants to purchase certain shares of 
capital stock of the borrowing companies.  The cost basis of the 
warrants and the resulting discount has been estimated by the 
Managing General Partners to be 1% of the principal balance of the 
original notes made to the borrowing companies.  The discount is 
amortized to interest income on a straight-line basis over the term 
of the loan.  Warrants received in conjunction with convertible notes 
are not assigned any additional costs.  These warrants are included 
in the equity investment portfolio.

Nonrefundable fees received in connection with loan fundings are 
deferred and amortized to interest income over the contractual life 
of the loan using the effective interest method or the straight-line 
method if it is not materially different.  Direct loan origination 
costs mainly consist of third-party costs and generally are 
reimbursed by portfolio companies.

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

At times, the Partnership may 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 estimated fair value of the asset received are 
written off.

Non-cash Exercise of Warrants
- -----------------------------

Periodically, the Partnership may acquire stock through the non-cash 
exercise of warrants.  Upon the non-cash exercise of warrants, the 
Partnership recorded net realized gains of $4,030 and $156,494 in 
1996 and 1994, respectively, as a result of the underlying stock 
prices at the date of exercise.  These amounts are included in net 
realized gain from sales of equity investments.  During 1995, there 
were no such transactions.

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.  Change in Net Unrealized Fair Value of Equity Investments
    ---------------------------------------------------------

In accordance with the accounting policy as stated in Note 1, the 
Statements of Operations include a line item entitled "Change in net 
unrealized fair value of equity investments."  The table below 
discloses details of the changes:

</TABLE>

Management fees compensate the Managing General Partners solely for 
General Partner Overhead (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) 
incurred in supervising the operation and management of the 
Partnership and the Partnership's investments.  Pursuant to the 
Partnership Agreement, beginning January 2, 1996, management fees 
changed from two percent to one percent per annum of adjusted Capital 
contributions.  Such amounts due to related parties were $32,500 and 
$66,354 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The Partnership reimburses the Managing General Partners for 
operating expenses incurred in connection with the business of the 
Partnership.  Reimbursable operating expenses paid by the Managing 
General Partners include expenses (other than Organizational and 
Offering Expenses and General Partner Overhead) such as 
administrative and investor services, investment operations, and 
computer services.  At December 31, 1996, amounts due to related 
parties related to such expenses were $26,746 compared to $25,384 due 
from related parties at December 31, 1995.  During late 1995, 
operating cost allocations to the Partnership were reevaluated.  The 
Managing General Partners determined that they had not fully 
recovered allocable overhead as permitted by the Partnership 
Agreement.  As a result, the Partnership was charged additional 
administrative and investor services expenses of $453,884 that was 
not previously recognized by the Partnership; however, during 1995, 
$392,555 of this amount was absorbed by the Managing General 
Partners.  The $453,884 consisted of $137,341, $92,413 and $224,130 
for 1995, 1994 and prior years, respectively.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, 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 
in 1996 and 2% in prior years.  During 1996, it was determined that 
certain operational costs paid directly by the Partnership were not 
subject to this limitation; consequently, $853,838 was reimbursed to 
the Managing General Partners. In 1996, 1995 and 1994, operating 
expenses incurred by the Managing General Partners exceeded the 
limitation by $531,571, $770,116 and $287,129, respectively, 
resulting in these amounts being absorbed by the Managing General 
Partners.  

Had the limitation not been in effect and had the additional expenses 
been recorded in prior years, total operating expenses would have 
been $1,227,614, $1,314,902 and 1,179,542 for 1996, 1995, and 1994, 
respectively.  

During 1996, the Managing General Partners provided cash advances 
totaling $984,521 to fund Partnership operations.  Interest of 
$7,267, calculated at the prevailing prime rate, was incurred.  All 
advances including accrued interest were repaid prior to year end.

As compensation for their services, the Individual General Partners 
each receives $6,000 annually, plus $1,000 for each attended meeting 
of the Individual General Partners and related expenses.  Two of the 
three Individual General Partners each own 20 Units and the third 
owns 70 Units.

Under the terms of a computer service agreement, the Partnership 
recognized charges from Technology Administrative Management, a 
division of TFL, for its share of computer support costs.  These 
amounts are included in computer services expense.

Officers of the Managing General Partners occasionally receive stock 
options as compensation for serving on the Boards of Directors of 
portfolio companies.  It is the Managing General Partners' policy 
that all such compensation be transferred to the investing 
partnerships.  If the options are non-transferable, they are not 
recorded as an asset of the Partnership.  Any profit from the 
exercise of such options will be transferred if and when the options 
are exercised and the underlying stock is sold by the officers.  At 
December 31, 1996, the Partnership had an indirect interest in non-
transferable Conversion Technologies International, Inc., options at 
an exercise price higher than the current market value.

In 1996 and 1995, TFL had a sublease rental agreement with a 
Partnership portfolio company in the medical industry.  The terms of 
this agreement was similar to those which would apply to an unrelated 
party.

5.  Allocation of Profits and Losses
    --------------------------------

Net realized profit and loss of the Partnership are allocated based 
on the beginning of year partners' capital balances as follows:

(a) Profits:

(i)  First, to those partners with deficit capital account 
balances until such deficits have been eliminated;

(ii) Second, to the partners as necessary to offset net loss 
and sales commissions previously allocated under (b)(ii) 
below; then

(iii)75% to the Limited Partners as a group in proportion to 
the number of Units, 5% to the Limited Partners in 
proportion to the Unit Months of each Limited Partner, 
and 20% to the Managing General Partners.  Unit months 
are the number of half months a Unit would be 
outstanding if held from the date the original holder of 
such Unit was deemed admitted into the Partnership until 
the termination of the offering of Units.

(b) Losses:

(i)  First, to the partners as necessary to offset the net 
profits previously allocated to the partners under 
(a)(iii) above; then

(ii) 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the Managing 
General Partners.

Losses allocable to Limited Partners in excess of their capital 
account balances will be allocated to the Managing General Partners. 
Net profit thereafter, otherwise allocable to those Limited Partners, 
is allocated to the Managing General Partners to the extent of such 
losses.  For allocation purposes, the Units held by the Individual 
General Partners will be treated as Units held by Limited Partners.

Interest income earned on funds held in escrow was allocated 100% to 
the Limited Partners.  Income earned on short-term investments during 
the Offering Period was allocated monthly 99% to the Limited Partners 
and 1% to the Managing General Partners.

Losses from unaffiliated venture capital limited partnership 
investments are allocated pursuant to section (b) above.  Gains are 
allocated first to offset previously allocated losses pursuant to 
(b)(i) above, and then 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the 
Managing General Partners.

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



6.  Equity Investments

Changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows:

                                         =========      =======
</TABLE>


These notes are secured by specific assets of the borrowing companies.  
The interest rate on secured notes receivable at December 31, 1996, 
was 12.5%.

The (decrease) increase in provision for loan losses is generally 
comprised of realized loan losses, net of recognized recoveries, and a 
change in net unrealized fair value based upon the level of loan loss 
reserves deemed adequate by the Managing General Partners at the 
respective year ends.

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

Refer to Note 6, Equity Investments, for information regarding the 
reclassification of notes to equity investments.

The principal balance of $13,971 is scheduled to be repaid in 1997.

</TABLE>

10.  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 by a borrowing company.  
As they do not represent current outstanding balances, these unfunded 
commitments are properly not recognized in the financial statements.  
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had unfunded commitments as 
follows:


<TABLE>

                                                         =========
</TABLE>

The Partnership uses the same credit policies in making these 
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-
sheet instruments.  Commitments to extend financing are agreements to 
lend to a company as long as there are no violations of any conditions 
established in the contract.  The credit lines generally have fixed 
termination dates or other termination clauses.  Since many of the 
commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the 
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash 
requirements.  All convertible and secured note commitments funded 
require collateral specified in the agreements.

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. 
In October of 1996, the $2,000,000 guarantee 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.  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.
