                       PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    Item 1:    Financial Statements

    See Appendix A

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

No royalties or other income were booked in the third quarter of 2003.

The partnership originally had licensed the manufacturing and sale of its
products to Detonics Manufacturing Corporation (DMC) a subsidiary of Energy
Sciences Corporation, (ESC). DMC, ESC and the Partnership entered Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings on April 29, 1986. In late 1987, the Bankruptcy Court
approved a sale of all of DMC's assets to a new entity, formed by outside third
parties, called New Detonics Manufacturing Corporation, (NDMC). By subsequent
majority vote of the limited partners of the Partnership, a new license was
entered into between the Partnership and NDMC, which called for royalties to
begin in late 1991 at the rate of 4% of gross sales. No partnership income was
expected before that time.

On May 13, 1988, ESC's bankruptcy was dismissed and all remaining assets were
repossessed by the sole secured creditor of ESC, the firm of Murphy & Elgot.
These assets are primarily amounts owed to ESC by the partnerships and the
rights to produce products owned by the partnerships. The general partners had
discussions with Mr. Murphy, (who was also counsel for ESC and the
partnerships), on the elimination of most or all the debt owed by the
Partnership to ESC, (and, therefor to Murphy & Elgot).

As previously reported, the general partners learned in late 1991 that
production of firearms at NDMC was suspended in 1991. The general partners have
subsequently been advised that Murphy & Elgot, the sole secured creditirs of the
original DMC, have moved to have the "soft" assets (the name "Detonics" and the
right to manufacture the Detonics designs) which were assigned to NDMC by the
Bankruptcy Court be returned to Murphy & Elgot. This occured in September 1992.
Mr. Murphy passed away in 1997. The general partners have had discussions with
Mr. Elgot regarding future attempts to recommercialize the products and he
indicated he would likely approve any recommercialization plan that the general
partners would be able to obtain. The general partners had been discussing such
plans with a third party, (a company being formed by Mr. Jerry Ahern, a noted
writer and firearms entreprenuer and Mr. Eric Curly, a California businessman).
Royalty amounts of 5% of gross sales have been verbally agreed to, but no
written agreement had been prepared or signed as December 31, 2002.
Unfortunately, it was learned in April 2003 that this plan will not take place.
Mr. Ahern continues to explore other financing sources and remains optimistic
that a new entitiy can be funded that will license the partnership's products.
The partnership has signed a three year agreement with Mr. Ahern giving him the
exclusive right to seek funding or a partner to reestablish production. There
can be no guarantee that it will be possible to arrange for production of any of
the Partnership's products.


                       PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1:  Legal Proceedings

The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Enforcement
recommended to the Commission that it authorize the staff to file a civil
injunction action against the Partnership and Messrs. Maes and Steffey to
require timely filing of reports with the commission. Such an injunction was
entered on June 25, 1986. All subsequent reports have been timely filed.

On October 16, 1989 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court ordered the conversion of the
partnership's Chapter 11 to a Chapter 7. On May 11, 1990, the partnership filed
an amended motion to dismiss the Chapter 7. The motion was granted on June 21,
1990 and the partnership is no longer in bankruptcy.

In March 1993, the partnership received a "Notice of Beginning of Administrative
Proceeding" from the Internal Revenue Service. The issue was a possible finding
that the partnership "burned out" and is subject to recapture. The general
partners are of the position that the products and the partnership remain
viable. In July, 1993, the general partners received notification from the IRS
that they did not intend to make any changes as a result of that Administrave
Proceeding. The IRS has the right to bring the subject up again.
