flows for the interim periods presented.  These statements should be read 
in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 
December 31, 1997.  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 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 six months ended

</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 $79,392 and $151,077 due from 
related parties at June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, respectively, 
for such reimbursable expenses.

Amounts payable for management fees were $32,500 and $64,999 at June 30, 
1998, and December 31, 1997.

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 nor reimburse the Managing 
General Partners for operational costs that aggregate more than 1% of 
total Limited Partner capital contributions.  For the six months ended 
June 30, 1998, operating expenses incurred by the Managing General 
Partners exceeded the limitation by $124,324, resulting in this amount 
being absorbed by the Managing General Partners.  

Officers of the Managing General Partners occasionally receive stock 
options as compensation for serving on the Boards of Directors of 
portfolio companies.  At June 30, 1998, the Partnership had an indirect 
interest in Conversion Technologies, Inc. and Physiometrix, Inc., non-
transferable options at an exercise price higher than the current market 
value.

utilized.  As they do not represent current outstanding balances, these

investments of $971,318 primarily to portfolio companies in the medical, 
biotechnology and industrial/business automation industries.  Proceeds from 
sales of equity investments were $103,634.  Cash distributions from venture 
capital limited partnerships provided $261,833.  Repayments of convertible 
and other notes receivable provided cash of $92,047.  As of June 30, 1998, 
the Partnership was committed to fund additional investments totaling 
$900,407 as discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998, were $567,934.  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 $1,679,179 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as 
compared to net income of $2,617,118 for the three months ended June 30, 
1997.  The change was primarily due to a $3,790,838 decrease in the change 
in net unrealized fair value of investments, a $664,299 increase in 
realized losses from investment write-downs, and a $155,845 decrease in net 
realized gain from equity investment sales, partially offset by a $211,772 
increase in realized gains from venture capital limited partnerships and a 
$120,014 decrease in operating expenses.

During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the decrease in fair value of 
investments of $1,050,986 was primarily due to decreases in portfolio 
companies in the industrial/business automation industry.  During the same 
period in 1997, the increase in fair value of investments of $2,739,852 was 
primarily due to increases in a portfolio companies in the medical and 
microelectronics industries.

Realized losses from investment write-downs of $664,299 for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1998 resulted from a portfolio company in the environmental 
industry.  There were no write-downs in the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, realized gains from equity investment 
sales of $31,684 related primarily to the sale of MetroMail, Inc.  During 
the same period in 1997, realized gains of $187,529, related mainly to the 
common stock sale of Bolder Technologies Corporation.

Net realized gains from venture capital limited partnerships of $230,820 in 
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 resulted from a cash distribution from 
Spectrum Equity Investors, L.P.

Total operating expenses were $120,941 and $240,955 for the quarters ended 
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  As explained in Note 3 to the 
financial statements, the Managing General Partners absorbed $124,324 
during the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  Had the limitation not been in 
effect, total operating expenses would have been $245,265 and $240,955 in 
the second quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively.

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 $3,068,211 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 
net income of $4,404,667 during the same period in 1997.  The change was 
primarily due to a $6,182,859 decrease in the change in net unrealized fair 
value of investments, a $664,299 increase in realized losses from 
investment write-downs, a $420,750 decrease in net realized gain from sales 
of equity investments, and a $311,221 decrease in total income.  These 
changes were partially offset by a $217,786 increase in net realized gains 
from venture capital limited partnerships.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the decrease in fair value of 
investments of $1,878,098 was primarily due to decreases in portfolio 
companies in the medical and industrial/business automation industries, 
partially offset by increases in the biotechnology industry.  During the 
same period in 1997, the increase 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.

The Partnership recorded realized losses of $664,299 from investment write-
downs for the six months ended June 30, 1998 related to a portfolio company 
in the environmental industry.  During the same period in 1997, there were 
no realized losses from investment write-downs recorded.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, realized gains from sales of equity 
investments were $5,305.  During the same period in 1997, realized gains of 
$426,055 mainly related to the common stock sale of Bolder Technologies 
Corporation 

Total income was $13,432 and $324,653 for the six months ended June 30, 
1998 and 1997, respectively.  The decrease was due substantially to a 
$280,010 dividend received in 1997.  No such dividend was received in 1998.

Total operating expenses were $567,991 and $456,258 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  As explained in Note 3 to the 
financial statements, the Managing General Partners absorbed $124,324 for 
the six months ended June 30, 1998.  Had the limitation not been in effect, 
total operating expenses would have been $692,315 and $456,258 during the 
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The increase is 
primarily attributable to increased investment monitoring activities, 
administrative costs and development costs associated with enabling 
investors to access on-line account information.
