                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

         The  financial   information   included   herein  is  unaudited.   Such
information,  however,  reflects all  adjustments  (consisting  solely of normal
recurring  adjustments)  which  are,  in  the  opinion  of the  General  Partner
necessary  to a fair  statement  of the  results for the  interim  periods.  The
results for  interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of results to be
expected for the year.

Note 2. Related Party Transactions

         During 1984,  the  Partnership  and  Interferon  Sciences,  Inc.  (ISI)
entered  into  several  agreements  including  a  Development  Contract  whereby
substantially all of the net proceeds of the 1984 sale of Partnership Units were
paid to ISI in periodic payments over the term of the Partnership's  development
program.  Such payments were used to fund research and  development and clinical
trials  necessary  for obtaining  regulatory  approval with respect to a topical
formulation  containing recombinant alpha interferon for the treatment of herpes
genitalis (Alferon(R) Gel). By September 30, 1986, the Partnership exhausted the
net  proceeds  of  the  offering.  The  General  Partner,   Interferon  Sciences
Development  Corporation  (ISD),  a wholly owned  subsidiary  of ISI,  agreed to
contribute  up  to an  additional  $433,000,  under  certain  circumstances,  to
continue the research.  Notwithstanding that commitment,  from September 1986 to
October 1990, the General  Partner  contributed  $1,997,000  towards the cost of
such research. Beginning November 1990, the General Partner discontinued funding
the development of Alferon Gel containing recombinant  interferon.  Beginning in
1992,  ISI  commenced  further  development  of Alferon Gel using ISI's  natural
source  multi-species  alpha interferon  (Alferon N Gel) in place of recombinant
interferon. In 1998, ISI discontinued development of Alferon N Gel.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition and Liquidity

         As of September  30, 1986,  the  Partnership  had  exhausted all of its
available  funds for the funding of research and development of Alferon Gel. The
General Partner agreed to contribute up to an additional $433,000, under certain
conditions,  to continue  the  research.  Such amount was based on the number of
units sold in the offering. Notwithstanding that commitment, from September 1986
to October 1990, the General Partner contributed  $1,997,000 towards the cost of
such research. During May 1987, ISI filed a Product License Application with the
Food and Drug  Administration  (FDA) for approval to market  Alferon  Gel.  This
filing  was  supplemented  in  1989  with  an  updated  clinical  summary  and a
comprehensive  statistical  analysis of the completed  trials. At a meeting with
the FDA in February 1990, the FDA indicated that additional process  development
and clinical  trials  would be  necessary  prior to approval of Alferon Gel. ISI
believed,  at that  time,  that  the  costs to  complete  the  required  process
development  and  clinical  trials would be  substantial,  and there could be no
assurance that the clinical trials would be successful. As a result of the above
events,  in March 1992,  ISI withdrew its FDA Product  License  Application  for
Alferon Gel containing recombinant interferon.

         The General  Partner  does not  anticipate  that the  Partnership  will
receive any revenues in 1999. In addition,  the Partnership is not in a position
to incur additional expenses since it has exhausted all its available funds, and
ISI  is  currently   developing  Alferon  N  Gel  using  ISI's  natural  source,
multi-species alpha interferon in place of recombinant interferon.

         The Partnership is ultimately reliant upon ISI for funding. ISI has had
continuing  losses from  operations and has an  accumulated  deficit which raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

         ISI does not presently  intend to exploit Alferon Gel (the  Partnership
Product).

         Under the terms of the Partnership  Agreement, a royalty may be payable
to the Partnership by reason of the commercial  exploitation of Alferon N Gel to
the extent that it utilizes any of the  Partnership  Technology,  which  royalty
will be  adjusted  based  upon the  proportional  funding  contributions  to the
development of Alferon N Gel by the Partnership and ISI.

Results of Operations

         Since ISI did not make any contributions to the Partnership  during the
nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998, the  Partnership  did not record
any expense or income.
