Forward-Looking Statements -------------------------- The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Partnership. The Partnership and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are "forward-looking," including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reports to the Partnership's shareholders and news releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) ---------------------------------------- 1. Interim Financial Statements ---------------------------- The accompanying unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes, which would be presented, were such financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 31, 2002. In the opinion of the Managing General Partners, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. 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. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year. 2. Termination and Liquidation of the Partnership ---------------------------------------------- The Partnership term expired on December 31, 2002, per the Partnership Agreement, and the Independent General Partners elected not to extend the term as provided in the Partnership Agreement. In December 2002, the Managing General Partners adopted a plan of liquidation. In anticipation of the liquidation and dissolution, the Individual General Partners, in March 2002, approved the retention of an independent third party to value the Partnership's private holding and subsequently engaged the third party to seek buyers for those investments. One of those holdings was sold prior to December 31, 2002. After a diligent effort, the independent third party was unable to find buyers for the remaining assets. Subsequently, the Managing General Partners determined that the fair value of the Partnership's investments in portfolio companies totaled $338,171. As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership's $716,109 investment in Prolinx, Inc. was written off. The Individual General Partners did not foresee a liquidity event for either of the two remaining investments, Acusphere, Inc. and Medical Science Partners II, L.P., and in June 2003, approved a motion to make a charitable donation of the holdings to an appropriate beneficiary. However, on July 1, 2003, Acusphere filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for an initial public offering. At a Special Meeting on July 30, 2003, the Individual General Partners rescinded their earlier action to donate the remaining assets and unanimously directed the Managing General Partners to wait for Acusphere to go public and then take the earliest possible exit opportunity in light of market conditions. In an effort to reduce operating expenses in the interim, the Partnership plans to file a proxy statement seeking Limited Partner approval of the withdrawal of the Partnership's election to be regulated as a Business Development Company ("BDC") and the amendment of the Partnership Agreement to allow the Individual General Partners to resign after the Form 15 withdrawing the BDC election is filed and accepted by the SEC. 3. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may not equate to tax accounting. The cost of investments on a tax basis at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, was $1,415,809 and $2,131,918, respectively. At June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

4. Related Party Transactions -------------------------- Related party costs are included in investment expenses shown on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation. Related party costs for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, were as follows: 2003 2002 ------ ------ Management fees $ 63,122 $71,368 Individual General Partners' compensation 15,000 14,000 Operating expenses reimbursed to related parties 69,477 150,166

Management fees are equal to 2 percent of the total Limited Partner capital contributions for the first year of Partnership operations through the sixth year. Beginning in the seventh year (May 2001), management fees declined by 10 percent per year from the initial 2 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. Management fees due to the Managing General Partners were $9,331 and $10,758 at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively, and were netted against due from related parties at June 30, 2003, and included in due to related parties at December 31, 2002. The Partnership reimburses the Managing General Partners for certain operating expenses incurred in connection with the business of the Partnership. Reimbursable operating expenses paid by the Managing General Partners include expenses (other than organizational and offering expenses and general partner overhead) such as administrative and investor services, investment operations, and computer services. Certain reimbursable expenses have been accrued based upon interim estimates prepared by the Managing General Partners and are adjusted to actual costs periodically. Amounts due from related parties for such expenses were $5,679 at June 30, 2003. Amounts due to related parties were $128,550 at December 31, 2002. Officers of the Managing General Partners occasionally receive stock options as compensation for serving on the Boards of Directors of portfolio companies. It is the Managing General Partners' policy that all such compensation be transferred to the investing partnerships. If the options are non-transferable, they are not recorded as an asset of the Partnership. Any profit from the exercise of such options will be transferred if and when the options are exercised and the underlying stock is sold by the officers. Any such profit is allocated amongst the Partnership and affiliated partnerships based on their proportionate investments in the portfolio company. At June 30, 2003, the Partnership and affiliated partnerships had an indirect interest in non-transferable Endocare, Inc. options with a fair value of $17,969. 5. Equity Investments ------------------ All investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Managing General Partners. Marketable Equity Securities ---------------------------- Marketable equity securities had aggregate costs of $247,500 at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, and aggregate fair values of $529,773 and $312,670 at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. The net unrealized gain at June 30, 2003, equaled the gross gains of $282,269. The gross gains at December 31, 2002, were $65,170. Restricted Securities --------------------- At June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, restricted securities had aggregate costs of $1,001,535 and $1,717,644, respectively, and aggregate fair values of $245,144 and $25,501, respectively, representing 10.8 percent and 1.2 percent of the net assets of the Partnership, respectively. Significant purchases, sales and write-offs of equity investments during the six months ended June 30, 2003, are as follows: Prolinx, Inc. ------------- In March 2003, the Partnership wrote off its entire investment of $716,109 in Prolinx, Inc., a private portfolio company in the biotechnology industry. Prolinx, Inc. filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on March 27, 2003. There is no anticipated recovery for the shareholders. Other Equity Investments ------------------------ Other significant changes reflected in the Statements of Investments relate to market value fluctuations for publicly traded portfolio companies or changes in the fair value of private companies as determined in accordance with the policy described in Note 1 to the financial statements included in the Partnership's December 31, 2002, Form 10-K. 6. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, consisted of:

7. Commitments and Contingencies ----------------------------- From time to time the Partnership becomes 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 investment fundings, equipment financing commitments, or accounts receivable lines of credit that are outstanding but not currently fully utilized by a borrowing company. As they do not represent current outstanding balances, these unfunded commitments are properly not recognized in the financial statements. At June 30, 2003, there were no unfunded investment commitments to portfolio companies and venture capital limited partnerships. From time to time, the Partnership is subject to routine litigation incidental to the business of the Partnership. Although there can be no assurances as to the ultimate disposition of these matters and the proceeding disclosed above, it is the opinion of the Managing General Partners, based upon the information available at this time, that the expected outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Partnership. 8. Financial Highlights --------------------

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, net profit shall be allocated first to those Partners with deficit capital account balances until such deficits have been eliminated. The net asset values shown above assume the Partnership is in liquidation and capital has been contributed by the General Partners equal to the amount of deficit capital, in any, after liquidation at June 30, 2003. Net asset value has been calculated in accordance with this provision of the Partnership Agreement. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Partnership term expired on December 31, 2002, per the Partnership Agreement, and the Independent General Partners elected not to extend the term as provided in the Partnership Agreement. In December 2002, the Managing General Partners adopted a plan of liquidation. In anticipation of the liquidation and dissolution, the Individual General Partners, in March 2002, approved the retention of an independent third party to value the Partnership's private holding and subsequently engaged the third party to seek buyers for those investments. One of those holdings was sold prior to December 31, 2002. After a diligent effort, the independent third party was unable to find buyers for the remaining assets. Subsequently, the Managing General Partners determined that the fair value of the Partnership's investments in portfolio companies totaled $338,171. As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership's $716,109 investment in Prolinx, Inc. was written off. The Individual General Partners did not foresee a liquidity event for either of the two remaining investments, Acusphere, Inc. and Medical Science Partners II, L.P., and in June 2003, approved a motion to make a charitable donation of the holdings to an appropriate beneficiary. However, on July 1, 2003, Acusphere filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for an initial public offering. At a Special Meeting on July 30, 2003, the Individual General Partners rescinded their earlier action to donate the remaining assets and unanimously directed the Managing General Partners to wait for Acusphere to go public and then take the earliest possible exit opportunity in light of market conditions. In an effort to reduce operating expenses in the interim, the Partnership plans to file a proxy statement seeking Limited Partner approval of the withdrawal of the Partnership's election to be regulated as a Business Development Company ("BDC") and the amendment of the Partnership Agreement to allow the Individual General Partners to resign after the Form 15 withdrawing the BDC election is filed and accepted by the SEC. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- The Partnership operates as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and makes venture capital investments in new and developing companies. The Partnership's financial condition is dependent upon the success of the portfolio companies. There is no ready market for many of the Partnership's investments. It is possible that some of its venture capital investments may be a complete loss or may be unprofitable and that others will appear likely to become successful, but may never realize their potential. The valuation of the Partnership's investments in securities for which there are no available market quotes is subject to the estimate of the Managing General Partners in accordance with the valuation guidance described in Note 1 to the financial statements included in the Partnership's December 31, 2002, Form 10-K. In the absence of readily obtainable market values, the estimated fair value of the Partnership's investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, net cash used by operating activities totaled $325,039. The Partnership paid management fees of $63,122 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed related parties for investment expenses of $205,133. In addition, $15,000 was paid to the Individual General Partners as compensation for their services. The Partnership paid other investment expenses of $50,166. Interest income of $8,382 was received. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2003, were $1,500,402. Future proceeds from investment sales and operating cash reserves 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 increase in partners' capital resulting from operations was $422,961 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared to a net decrease in partners' capital resulting from operations of $1,062,548 for the same period in 2002. Net unrealized depreciation on equity investments was $474,118 and $1,626,973 at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Partnership recorded a decrease in net unrealized depreciation on equity investments of $500,880 compared to an increase in unrealized depreciation of $881,200 during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The change in 2003 was attributable to an increase in the fair value of Acusphere, Inc., a private portfolio company in the biotechnology industry, an increase in the publicly traded price of LifeCell Corporation, and the write-off of the Partnership's entire investment in Prolinx, Inc. The change in 2002 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the fair value of Prolinx, Inc. Total investment expenses were $81,737 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared to $188,663 for the same period in 2002. The decrease is attributable to decreased administrative and investor services activity. 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 decrease in partners' capital resulting from operations was $422,961 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to a net decrease in partners' capital resulting from operations of $1,077,850 for the same period in 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Partnership wrote off its entire investment in Prolinx, Inc., a private portfolio company in the biotechnology industry. The company filed for bankruptcy in March 2003, and there is no anticipated recovery for the shareholders. There were no write-offs during the same period in 2002. Net unrealized depreciation on equity investments was $474,118 and $433,074 at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Partnership recorded a decrease in net unrealized depreciation on equity investments of $1,152,855 compared to an increase in unrealized depreciation of $752,796 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The change in 2003 was attributable to an increase in the fair value of Acusphere, Inc., a private portfolio company in the biotechnology industry, an increase in the publicly traded price of LifeCell Corporation, and the write-off of the Partnership's entire investment in Prolinx, Inc. The change in 2002 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the fair value of Acusphere, Inc. Total investment expenses were $184,716 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $341,097 for the same period in 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased administrative and investor services activity and decreased professional fees. Item 4.
