6.     Short-Term Borrowings
       ---------------------

The Partnership has a borrowing account with a financial institution.  At
September 30, 1999, the borrowing capacity of this account, which
fluctuates based on collateral value, was $2,678,217 and there were no
outstanding borrowings.  Interest is charged at the prime rate plus one-
half percent.  The weighted-average interest rate for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was 8.25% and interest expense was $7,031.  The
Partnership's investments in Valentis, Inc. (formerly Megabios Corp.), CV
Therapeutics, Inc., Axys Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Pilot Network Services,
Inc. are pledged as collateral.

7.     Distributions
       -------------

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership declared
and paid tax distributions to the General Partners totaling $1,244,602.

8.     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, 1999 the Partnership had the following
unfunded commitments:

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, 1999, net cash used by operating
activities totaled $1,583,468.  The Partnership paid management fees of
$184,399 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed related parties
for operating expenses of $1,144,692.  In addition, $25,874 was paid to the
Individual General Partners as compensation for their services.  Other
operating expenses of $324,496 and interest expense of $7,031 were paid.
Interest income of $103,024 was received.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership funded
equity investments of $434,371 primarily to portfolio companies in the
communications, information technology and medical industries.  The
Partnership issued notes totaling $211,763 to portfolio companies in the
environmental and medical industries.  Proceeds from sales of equity
investments, primarily Pilot Network Services, Inc. ("Pilot") common
shares, provided cash of $9,194,975.  Net short-term borrowings of $120,200
were repaid and tax distributions of $1,244,602 were paid during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.  As of September 30, 1999, the
Partnership's unfunded commitments totaled $2,643,235 as discussed in Note
8 to the financial statements.

The Partnership has a borrowing account with a financial institution.  The
borrowing capacity of this account, which fluctuates based on collateral
value, was $2,678,217 at September 30, 1999 and there were no outstanding
borrowings.  The Partnership's investments in CV Therapeutics, Inc.,
Valentis, Inc. (formerly Megabios Corp.), Axys Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and
Pilot are pledged as collateral.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1999, were $5,816,932.  Cash
reserves, future interest income on short-term investments and proceeds
from investment sales 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 losses were $666,535 and $1,414,891 for the quarters ended September
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  The improvement is primarily due to a
$2,310,794 increase in the net unrealized fair value of equity investments,
a $135,219 increase in net realized gain from venture capital limited
partnerships and a $64,957 increase in interest income.  These increases
were partially offset by a $1,665,091 increase in net realized loss from
sales of equity investments and a $131,538 increase in operating expenses.

During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the increase in fair value of
equity investments of $1,083,088 was primarily due to increases in
portfolio companies in the biotechnology and medical industries.  During
the same period in 1998, the decrease in fair value of equity investments
of $1,227,706 was primarily due to decreases in portfolio companies in the
medical industry.

Net realized gain from venture capital limited partnerships totaled
$135,739 and $520 in the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.  The 1999 gain primarily resulted from the distribution to
the Partnership of Tut Systems, Inc. common shares.

Interest income of $67,051 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
increased significantly over interest income of $2,094 for the comparative
quarter of 1998 due to the interest earned on the Partnership's increased
cash balance.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, net realized loss from equity
investment sales of $1,665,091 primarily related to the sales of the
Partnership's investments in Avalon, Inc., CV Therapeutics, Inc. and Naiad
Technology, Inc.  There were no sales of investments in the quarter ended
September 30, 1998.

Total operating expenses were $210,815 and $79,277 for the quarters ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. As explained in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Managing General Partners absorbed $88,226 and
$421,041 for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The decrease in operating expenses absorbed by the General Partners is
attributable to the re-evaluation of expense limitation provisions of the
Partnership agreement which occurred in the fourth quarter of 1998.  This
re-evaluation effectively lowered the total amount of operating expenses
subject to the expense limitation.  Had the limitation not been in effect,
operating expenses would have been $299,041 and $500,318 during the
quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  The decrease is
primarily attributable to decreased investment monitoring, administrative
overhead and computer 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 $6,531,566 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as
compared to net loss of $4,483,102 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998.  The increase was primarily due to a $6,171,559 increase in net
realized gain from sales of equity investments, a $4,423,549 increase in
the net unrealized fair value of equity investments and a $661,684 decrease
in realized losses from investment write-downs, partially offset by a
$227,623 increase in operating expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, realized gains from sales of
equity investments of $6,176,864 are primarily due to the gain on the sale
of 510,000 common shares of Pilot.  This gain was partially offset by
losses on the sale of the Partnership's investments in Avalon, Inc., CV
Therapeutics, Inc., CareCentric Solutions, Inc. and Naiad Technologies,
Inc.  During the same period in 1998, realized gains were $5,305.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the increase in fair value
of equity investments of $1,052,025 was primarily due to increases in
portfolio companies in the biotechnology, communications and medical
industries, partially offset by a decrease due to the sale of Pilot shares.
During the same period in 1998, the decrease of $3,371,524 was primarily
due to decreases in portfolio companies in the medical and
industrial/business automation industries.

Realized losses from investment write-downs totaled $2,615 and $664,299 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  The
write-down in 1998 related to a portfolio company in the environmental
industry.

Total operating expenses were $874,891 and $647,268 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. As explained in Note 2 to
the financial statements, the Managing General Partners absorbed $88,226
and $545,365 in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively.  The decrease in operating expenses absorbed
by the General Partners is attributable to the re-evaluation of expense
limitation provisions of the Partnership agreement which occurred in the
fourth quarter of 1998.  This re-evaluation effectively lowered the total
amount of operating expenses subject to the expense limitation.  Had the
limitation not been in effect, operating expenses would have been $963,117
and $1,192,633 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.  The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased
investment monitoring, administrative overhead and computer costs.

YEAR 2000
- ---------

Widespread use of computer programs that use two digits rather than four to
store, calculate, and display year values in dates may cause computer
systems to malfunction in the year 2000, resulting in significant business
delays and disruptions.

    The Partnership's State of Readiness
    ------------------------------------

Computer services are provided to the Partnership by its Managing General
Partner, Technology Funding Inc. ("TFI").  For several years, TFI has
sought to use Year 2000 compliant storage formats and algorithms in its
internally-developed and maintained systems.  TFI has also completed
initial evaluations of computer systems, software, and embedded
technologies.  Those evaluations confirmed that certain components of its
network server hardware and operating systems, voice mail system, e-mail
system, and accounting software may have Year 2000 compliance issues.
These resources and several less-critical components of the systems
environment were all scheduled as part of normal maintenance and
replacement cycles to be replaced or upgraded as Year 2000 compatible
components became available from vendors during 1998 and 1999.  That
program remains on schedule to provide Year 2000 capable systems timely
without significant expenditures or disruption of Partnership operations.
TFI has implemented and tested Year 2000 capable versions of all its
mission-critical systems.  However, the risk remains that TFI may not be
able to verify whether Year 2000 compatibility claims by vendors are
accurate, or whether changes undertaken to achieve Year 2000 compatibility
will create other undetected problems in associated systems.  Therefore,
TFI anticipates that Year 2000 compliance testing and maintenance of these
systems will continue as needed into the first quarter of 2000.

As part of Year 2000 evaluation, TFI has also assembled a database listing
its significant suppliers to assess the extent to which it needs to prepare
for any of those parties' potential failure to remediate their Year 2000
compliance issues.  TFI reviewed public Year 2000 statements of those
suppliers and sent questionnaires to vendors whose public statements were
not adequate for assessment.  All mission-critical vendors have responded
that they expect to be Year 2000 compliant barring any unforeseen
circumstances.  TFI will continue to monitor its significant suppliers as
part of its Year 2000 evaluation.  However, there can be no guarantee that
the systems of other companies on which TFI relies will be timely
converted, or that failure to convert will not have a material adverse
effect on the Partnership and its operations.  TFI is also working with the
Partnership's portfolio companies to determine the extent to which their
operations are vulnerable to Year 2000 issues, and maintaining their
responses in the vendor database.  There can be no guarantee that the
systems of portfolio companies in which the Partnership has invested will
be timely converted, or that their failure to convert will not have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership.

    The Cost to Address Year 2000 Issues
    ------------------------------------

Expenditures in 1999 to date related to Year 2000 issues were not material
to the Partnership's financial statements.  TFI expects that additional
expenditures for Year 2000 compliance will not be material to the
Partnership.

    The Risks Associated with Year 2000 Issues
    ------------------------------------------

Any failure by the portfolio companies in which the Partnership has
invested, or by those portfolio companies' key suppliers or customers, to
anticipate and avoid Year 2000 related problems at reasonable cost could
have a material adverse effect on the value of and/or the timing of
realization of value from the Partnership's investments.  If TFI's Year
2000 compliance issues have not been resolved correctly, internal system
failures or miscalculations could cause a temporary inability to process
transactions, loss of ability to send or receive e-mail and voice mail
messages, or disruptions in other normal business activities.
Additionally, failure of third parties on whom TFI relies to remediate
their Year 2000 issues timely could result in disruptions in the
Partnership's relationship with its financial institutions, temporary
disruptions in processing transactions, unanticipated costs, and problems
related to the Partnership's daily operations.  While TFI continues to
address its internal Year 2000 issues, the overall risks associated with
the Year 2000 issue remain difficult to describe and quantify.  There can
be no guarantee that the Year 2000 issue will not have a material adverse
effect on the Partnership and its operations.

    TFI's Contingency Plan
    ----------------------

As part of its normal efforts to assure business continuation in the event
of natural disasters, systems failures, or other disruptions, TFI has
prepared contingency plans including an extensive Year 2000 contingency
plan.  Taken together with TFI's Year 2000 remediation plan, it identifies
potential points of failure, approaches to correcting known Year 2000
problems, dates by which the preferred corrections are anticipated to be
made and tested, and alternative approaches if the corrections are not
completed timely or are later found to be inadequate.  Although backup
systems and contingency approaches have been identified for most systems
and vendor dependencies, there remain some systems for which no good
alternative exists, and there may be some problems that prove more
intractable than currently anticipated.
