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 $430,685.  The Partnership paid management fees 
of $158,597 to the Managing General Partners and paid 
related parties for operating expenses of $290,346.  In 
addition, $31,138 was paid to the Individual General 
Partners as compensation for their services.  The 
Partnership paid other operating expenses of $111,299 and 
received $160,695 in interest income.
During 1996, the Partnership purchased $1,533,007 in 
equity investments mostly in the biotechnology and 
medical/diagnostic equipment industries.  At December 31, 
1996, the Partnership was committed to fund additional 
investments totaling $462,500.
During 1996, CV Therapeutics, Inc., completed its initial 
public offering ("IPO").  Although the Partnership's 
holdings are subject to selling restrictions, the IPO 
indicates potential future liquidity for this investment.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996, were 
$1,985,053.  Interest income earned on short-term 
investments and operating cash reserves are expected to 
be adequate to fund Partnership operations through the 
next twelve months.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------

1996 compared to 1995
- ---------------------

Net loss was $34,512 for 1996 compared to $336,976 in 
1995.  The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a 
$386,438 increase in the change in net unrealized fair 
value of equity investments and a $45,537 decrease in 
management fees.  These changes were partially offset by 
a $66,821 decrease in interest income and a $61,251 
increase in total operating expenses.

The Partnership recorded an increase in equity investment 
fair value of $377,961 in 1996, compared to a decrease of 
$8,477 in 1995.  The 1996 increase was primarily 
attributable to increases in portfolio companies in the 
pharmaceuticals industry, partially offset by decreases 
in the biotechnology industry.  

The Partnership recorded management fees of $158,597 and 
$204,134 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  Management fees are equal to two percent 
of total Limited Partner capital contributions for the 
first year of Partnership operations through the sixth 
year.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, a full 
first year fee is paid to the Managing General Partners 
as each additional Limited Partner is admitted to the 
Partnership, regardless of the date the Limited Partner 
is admitted.  Management fees were higher in 1995 due to 
Unit sales.

The Partnership recorded interest income of $178,979 and 
$245,800 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  The decrease was mainly due to lower cash 
and cash equivalents balances in 1996 resulting from new 
and follow-on investments.

Total operating expenses were $391,841 and $330,590 for 
1996 and 1995, respectively.  As disclosed in Note 3 to 
the financial statements, a determination was made in 
1996 that certain operational costs paid directly by the 
Partnership, which had previously been absorbed by the 
General Partners, were not subject to the 3% operational 
expense reimbursement limitation.  Accordingly, $128,120 
was reimbursed by the Partnership.  In 1995, operating 
cost allocations to the Partnership were reevaluated, 
resulting in $52,403 of additional expenses in 1995 of 
which $25,790 related to prior years.  If the $25,790 had 
been recorded in prior years, operating expenses (before 
expenses absorbed by General Partners and expenses 
previously absorbed by General Partners of $128,120) 
would have been $317,731 and $382,758 for 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  The 1995 amount was higher due to the 
recognition of the $89,086 contingent liability at 
December 31, 1994, which was reflected in 1995 operating 
expenses based on additional Units sold in 1995.

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 $336,976 for 1995 compared to $188,769 in 
1994.  The increase in net loss was primarily due to a 
$134,288 increase in total operating expenses as well as 
a $116,273 increase in management fees.  These changes 
were partially offset by a $113,406 increase in interest 
income. 

Total operating expenses were $330,590 and $196,302 for 
1995 and 1994, respectively.  As disclosed above, the 
1995 amount included $52,403 of which $25,790 related to 
prior years as expense allocations were reevaluated.  If 
the $25,790 had been recorded in prior years, operating 
expenses (before expenses absorbed by General Partners) 
would have been $382,758 and $219,538 for 1995 and 1994, 
respectively.  The increase in 1995 was primarily due to 
the recognition in 1995, of the $89,086 contingent 
liability at December 31, 1994, based on additional Units 
sold in 1995.
The Partnership recorded management fees of $204,134 and 
$87,861 during 1995 and 1994, respectively.  As disclosed 
above, management fees increased in 1995 due to Unit 
sales.
The Partnership recorded interest income of $245,800 and 
$132,394 for 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The increase 
was mainly due to a higher average cash and cash 
equivalents balance in 1995 compared to 1994 from Unit 
sales.

Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
- -------  ----------------------

As a partnership, the Registrant has no officers or 
directors.  In 1996, the Partnership incurred $158,597 in 
management fees.  The fees are designed to compensate the 
Managing General Partners for General Partner Overhead 
incurred in performing management duties for the 
Partnership through December 31, 1996.  General Partner 
Overhead (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) 
includes the General Partners' share of rent and 
utilities, and certain salaries and benefits paid by the 
Managing General Partners in performing their obligations 
to the Partnership.  As compensation for their services, 
the Individual General Partners each receive $6,000 
annually beginning on the Commencement Date, plus $1,000 
for each attended meeting of the Individual General 
Partners, and related expenses.  For the year ended 
December 31, 1996, $31,138 of such fees were paid.

                   INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                   ----------------------------

The Partners
Technology Funding Medical Partners I, L.P.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Technology 
Funding Medical Partners I, 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 owned, by 
correspondence with the individual investee 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 Medical Partners I, 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 Medical Partners I, L.P. (the "Partnership") is 
a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of 
Delaware on September 3, 1992.  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 non-diversified 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.  A former wholly-owned subsidiary of TFI, 
Technology Funding Securities Corporation ("TFSC"), was the dealer-
manager for the offering.

For the period from September 3, 1992, through May 3, 1993, the 
Partnership was inactive.  The Partnership's registration statement 
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on 
May 3, 1993, and the Partnership began selling units of limited 
partnership interests ("Units") in May of 1993.

On October 8, 1993, the Commencement Date, the minimum number of 
Units required to begin Partnership operations (12,000) had been 
sold.  The offering terminated with 79,716 Units sold on May 3, 
1995.  The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will 
continue until December 31, 2002, unless further extended for up to 
two additional two-year periods from such date if the Individual 
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 of 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 include marketable and non-marketable 
investments of $4,019,458 and $2,086,082 (67% and 35% of partners' 
capital) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  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 investments 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, commercial paper, and 
short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or 
less to be cash equivalents.

Syndication Fees
- ----------------

Syndication fees, which consist of commissions and certain 
organizational and offering costs, are deducted from the partners' 
capital accounts.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, selling 
commissions are allocated solely to the Limited Partners.  All 
other syndication fees are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners 
and 1% to the Managing General Partners.  Syndication fees are not 
deductible for income tax purposes.  Such fees may result in a 
reduction of any gain (or an increase in any loss) realized for tax 
purposes by the partners upon dissolution of the Partnership or a 
transfer of their interests.

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

Organizational costs of $40,000 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.

The accompanying financial statements are prepared using generally 
accepted accounting principles which may not equate to tax 
accounting.  The difference in the total book and tax cost basis as 
of December 31, 1996, is not material.

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

Net realized income (loss) per Limited Partner Unit is calculated 
by dividing the weighted average number of Limited Partner Units 
outstanding for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, 
of 79,716, 74,425 and 44,272, respectively, into total net realized 
loss allocated to the Limited Partners.  The Managing General 
Partners contributed 0.1% of total Limited Partner capital 
contribution and did not receive any Partnership units.

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

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

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.

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 a net realized loss of $1,876 in 1996, as 
a result of the underlying stock prices at the date of exercise.  
This amount is included in net realized loss from sales of equity 
investments.  During 1995 and 1994, there were no such 
transactions.

     by General Partners              128,120         --         --
</TABLE>

Management fees are equal to two percent of the total Limited 
Partner capital contributions for the first year of Partnership 
operations through the sixth year.  Beginning in the seventh year, 
management fees will decline by ten percent per year from the 
initial two percent.  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, a full first 
year fee is paid to the Managing General Partners as each 
additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership, 
regardless of the date the Limited Partner is admitted.  Management 
fees payable were $13,216 at both December 31, 1996 and 1995.

The Partnership reimburses the Managing General Partners for 
organizational and offering expenses (up to five percent of the 
total Limited Partner capital contributions) incurred in connection 
with organizing the Partnership and the offering of Units thereof.  
Such reimbursements have been reflected in the Statements of 
Partners' Capital as syndication fees except for $40,000 of 
organizational costs which have been capitalized.

Also included in the syndication fees are commissions and fees paid 
to Technology Funding Securities Corporation (TFSC), the dealer-
manager.  During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership 
paid commissions and fees of $133,618 of which $118,711 was 
reallowed to participating broker-dealers.  In addition, the 
Partnership also paid $7,424 in 1995, to TFSC for due diligence 
expenses (up to one-half of one percent of total Limited Partner 
capital contributions) that TFSC paid to unaffiliated broker-
dealers.  No such commissions and fees were paid in 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 3% of total Limited Partner capital 
contributions of the Partnership in each year through the first 
five years of operations after the termination of Unit sales, and 
1.5% in any year thereafter.  For purposes of this limitation, the 
Partnership's operating year begins on May 3.  In 1996 and 1995, 
the Managing General Partners absorbed $54,010 and $77,958, 
respectively, in operating expenses.  In 1996, it was determined 
that certain operational costs paid directly by the Partnership, 
which had previously been absorbed by the General Partners, were 
not subject to this limitation; consequently, $128,120 was 
reimbursed to the General Partners.  Amounts due to related parties 
were $15,476 and $26,270 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.

Reimbursable operating expenses include expenses (other than 
Organizational and Offering expenses and General Partner overhead) 
such as administrative and investor services, investment 
operations, and computer services.  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 costs of $52,403 that was not previously 
recognized by the Partnership.  This amount consisted of $26,613, 
$23,236 and $2,554 for 1995, 1994 and prior years, respectively.  
If this charge had been recorded in prior years, operating expenses 
(before expenses absorbed by General Partners and expenses not 
subject to limitation) would have been $317,731, $382,758, and 
$219,538 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

As compensation for their services, the Individual General Partners 
each receives $6,000 annually beginning on the Commencement Date, 
plus $1,000 for each of the management committee meetings attended 
and related expenses.  The three Individual General Partners each 
own 20 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.

4.  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 in proportion to such deficits until the 
deficits have been eliminated; then

(ii) second, to the partners as necessary to offset net loss 
and sales commissions previously allocated to such 
partners; then

(iii)third, 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 net 
profit previously allocated to the partners under 
(a)(iii) above plus losses from unaffiliated venture 
capital limited partnership investments; then

(ii) 99% to the Limited Partners as a group 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.  

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

Income earned from short-term investments during the Offering 
Period were allocated monthly, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% 
to the Managing General Partners.

In no event shall the General Partners' interest in profits and 
losses be less than 1%.

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

result of additional contributions of $37,500, partially offset 
by distributions of stock with fair values of $10,442.  The 
Partnership recorded an increase in fair value of $23,458 mainly 
due to the effect of the transactions described above, partially 
offset by a decrease in fair value of the underlying investments.

7.  Commitments
    -----------

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 December 31, 1996, the Partnership had unfunded 
commitments as follows:

Term notes                                             150,000
                                                     ---------

      Total                                         $  462,500
                                                     =========

</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.
