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

1.     General
       -------

In the opinion of the Managing General Partners, the Balance Sheets as of 
March 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and the related Statements of 
Operations and Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 
31, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1997.  
The following notes to financial statements for activity through March 31, 
1998, 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 future 
liquidation of Partnership investments and the collection of notes 
receivable will provide the necessary liquidity to 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 three months ended

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 March 31, 1998 the Partnership had unfunded commitments for 
venture capital limited partnership investments of $111,345.

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

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

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, net cash used by operating 
activities totaled $578,479.  The Partnership paid management fees of 
$129,998 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed related parties 
for operating expenses of $406,369.  In addition, $5,197 was paid to the 
Individual General Partners as compensation for their services.  Other 
operating expenses of $47,931 were paid and $11,016 in interest income was 
received.

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership funded equity 
investments of $245,000 primarily to portfolio companies in the medical and 
industrial/business automation industries.  Repayments of convertible notes 
receivable provided cash of $57,378.  As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership 
was committed to fund additional investments totaling $111,345 as discussed 
in Note 7 to the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1998, were $1,074,840.  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 loss was $1,389,032 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as 
compared to net income of $1,787,549 for the three months ended March 31, 
1997.  The change was primarily due to a $2,392,021 decrease in the change 
in net unrealized fair value of equity investments, a $280,010 decrease in 
dividend income, a $264,905 decrease in net realized gain from equity 
investment sales, and a $234,247 increase in operating expenses.

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the decrease in fair value of 
equity investments of $827,112 was primarily due to decreases in portfolio 
companies in the medical industry.  During the same period in 1997, the 
increase in fair value of equity investments of $1,564,909 was primarily 
due to an increase in a portfolio company in the medical industry partially 
offset by a decrease in a portfolio company in the biomedical industry.

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership earned a 
$280,010 dividend from Tessera, Inc.  There was no dividend income in the 
same period in 1998.

For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, realized losses of $26,379 mainly 
related to the sale of NetChannnel, Inc.  During the same period in 1997, 
realized gains of $238,526, related mainly to the common stock sale of 
Bolder Technologies Corporation.

Total operating expenses were $447,050 and $212,803 for the quarters ended 
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The increase is attributable to 
increased investment monitoring activities, administrative costs and 
development costs associated with enabling investors to access on-line 
account information.

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