1.     General
       -------

In the opinion of the Managing General Partners, the accompanying interim 
financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair 
presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash 
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

actual costs periodically.  Amounts due to related parties for such 
expenses were $18,130 and $5,525 at June 30, 1998 and at December 31, 1997, 
respectively.

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

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 May 3rd.  For the six months ended June 30,1998, the 
Managing General Partners absorbed $62,535 in operating expenses.  No such 
expenses were absorbed for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

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

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

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, net cash used by operating 
activities totaled $158,290.  The Partnership paid management fees of 
$39,649 to the Managing General Partners and paid related parties $74,565 
for operating expenses.  In addition, $15,368 was paid to the Individual 
General Partners as compensation for their services.  The Partnership paid 
other operating expenses of $37,351.  Interest income of $696 and dividend 
income of $7,947 were received.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998 the Partnership received $2,730 
from equity investment sales.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998, were $1,577.  Future proceeds 
from investment sales, interest income earned on short-term investments and 
operating cash reserves along with 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 income was $37,662 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared 
to a net loss of $88,082 for the same period in 1997.  The improvement was 
primarily due to a $83,944 decrease in operating expenses, and a $58,719 
increase in net unrealized fair value of equity investments.

The Partnership recorded an increase in equity investment fair value of 
$102,757 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to an increase 
of $44,038 for the same period in 1997.  The 1998 increase was primarily 
due to increases in the biotechnology and medical/diagnostic equipment 
industries, partially offset by decreases in the pharmaceuticals industry.  
The 1997 increase was primarily due to increases in the medical/diagnostic 
equipment industry.

Total operating expenses were $16,347 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, 
compared to $100,291 for the same period in 1997.  As disclosed in Note 3 
to the financial statements, the General Partners absorbed expenses of 
$62,535 for the three months ended June 30, 1998.  Had the limitation not 
been in effect, total operating expenses for the three months ended June 
30, 1998 and 1997 would have been $78,882 and $100,291, 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 $355,751 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 
net loss of $129,047 during the same period in 1997. The change was 
primarily due to a $240,891 decrease in the change in net unrealized fair 
value of equity investments and a $44,585 decrease in total income, which 
was partially offset by a $60,360 decrease in total operating expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership recorded a 
decrease in fair value of equity investments of $151,352 compared to a 
$89,539 increase for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The 1998 decrease 
was primarily due to decreases in the pharmaceutical industry, partially 
offset by increases in the biotechnology industry.  The 1997 increase was 
primarily due to increases in portfolio companies in the medical/diagnostic 
equipment industries.  

The Partnership recorded total income of $8,643 and $53,228 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The decrease was mainly 
due to lower cash and cash equivalents balances.

Total operating expenses were $113,976 and $174,336 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  As discussed in Note 3 to the 
financial statements, the Managing General Partners absorbed expenses of 
$62,535 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  Had the limitation not 
been in effect, total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 
1998 and 1997 would have been $176,511 and $174,336, respectively.
