NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
Note 1 - Interim Financial Statements
The financial statements as of September 30, 1999, and for the nine
months then ended have been prepared by the management of the L.L.C.
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited December 31, 1998, financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for presentation have been
included. Preparing financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for
a full year.
