                    Notes to Financial Statements
                         September 30, 2000

1. Organization and Business Purpose

   Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement (the "Agreement"), the term of the
   Partnership expired June 30, 2000.  The Managing General Partner ("MGP") is
   now winding up the affairs of the Partnership pursuant to Article 9 of the
   Agreement, and the MGP will no longer accrue management fees during the
   wind-up period.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   A. Contributed Capital - Proceeds from the sale of the limited partnership
      interests, net of related selling commissions and syndication costs, are
      recorded as contributed capital.

   B. Statement of Cash Flows - The Partnership considers all highly liquid debt
      instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
      equivalents.  No interest or income taxes were paid during the periods.

   C. Valuation of Investments - The valuation of investments in debt
      instruments which are convertible into unregistered securities is based
      upon the bid price of the underlying securities obtained through normal
      market systems less a discount for selling and registration costs.  For
      those investments not having an established market, the valuation is at
      the Partnership's costs for the first six months after closing and will be
      redetermined by the General Partners subsequent to that time period.

   D. Management Estimates - The financial statements have been prepared in
      conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  The preparation
      of the accompanying financial statements requires estimates and
      assumptions made by management of the Partnership that affect the reported
      amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of
      assets, liabilities and partners' equity and income and expenses for the
      period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

   E. Interest Income  - Interest income is accrued on all debt securities owned
      by the Partnership on a quarterly basis.  The Partnership has written off
      its investment in the Convertible Promissory Notes of Feminique.
      Accordingly, there was no interest accrued in the third quarter nor will
      there be any interest income in the future.

   F. Financial Instruments - In accordance with the reporting requirements of
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
      Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company calculates the fair
      value of its financial instruments and includes this additional
      information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value
      is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments.  When
      the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no additional
      disclosure is made.  The valuation of common stock positions is based on
      the public market for those securities less appropriate reserves for
      selling restricted securities.

3. Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without audit, in
   accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
   Commission and do not include all disclosures normally required by generally
   accepted accounting principles or those normally made in annual reports on
   Form 10-K.  All material adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal
   recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, were necessary for a
   fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made.

                         September 30, 2000

4. Partnership Agreement

   Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, all items of income, gain, loss and
   deduction of the Partnership, other than any Capital Transaction, as defined,
   will be allocated 1% to Renaissance and 99% to the Limited Partners.  All
   items of gain of the Partnership resulting from a Capital Transaction shall
   be allocated such that the Limited Partners receive a cumulative simple
   annual return of 10% on their capital contributions and any remaining gains
   shall be allocated 20% to Renaissance and 80% to the Limited Partners.  All
   items of loss resulting from Capital Transactions shall be allocated 1% to
   Renaissance and 99% to the Limited Partners.  To the extent that allocation
   of losses create a negative capital balance in either the Managing General
   Partner's or the Limited Partners' capital accounts, losses shall be
   allocated as described herein until such capital account is $0.  The
   remaining loss is allocated to the capital account with a positive capital
   balance.

5. Investments

   Investments of the Partnership are carried in the statements of assets,
   liabilities and partners' equity at quoted market or fair value, as
   determined in good faith by the MGP and approved by the Independent General
   Partners.

   For securities that are publicly traded and for which quotations are
   available, the Partnership will value the investments based on the closing
   sale as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, or in the event of an interim
   valuation, as of the date of the valuation.  If no sale is reported on such
   date, the securities will be valued at the average of the closing bid and
   asked prices.

   The MGP, subject to the approval and supervision of the Independent General
   Partners, will be responsible for determining fair value.

   The financial statements include investments valued at $2,113,347 (80% of
   total assets) and $721,117 (89% of total assets) as of December 31, 1999 and
   September 30, 2000, respectively.  Because of the inherent uncertainty of
   valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values
   that might ultimately be realized in the liquidation and wind-up process, and
   the differences could be material. <PAGE>

<FN>
The fair value of debt securities convertible into common stock is the sum of
(a) the value of such securities without regard to the conversion feature, and
(b) the value, if any, of the conversion feature.  The fair value of debt
securities without regard to conversion features is determined on the basis of
the terms of the debt security, the interest yield and the financial condition
of the issuer.  The fair value of the conversion features of a security, if any,
are based on fair values as of this date less an allowance, as appropriate, for
costs of registration, if any, and selling expenses.  Publicly traded
securities, or securities that are convertible into publicly traded securities
are valued at the last sale price, or at the average closing bid and asked
price, as of the valuation date.  While these valuations are believed to
represent fair value, these values do not necessarily reflect amounts which may
be ultimately realized upon disposition of such securities. </FN> </TABLE>

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

(1) Material Changes in Financial Condition

    The following portfolio transactions are noted for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 (portfolio companies are herein referred to as the
"Company"):

    Danzer Corporation  (DNZR)   Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company
announced that it had received a proposal from Canron Corporation to enter into
an agreement pursuant to which Danzer would acquire all of the issued and
outstanding equity securities of Canron in exchange for convertible preferred
stock of Danzer representing not less than 91% of the issued and outstanding
equity interests of the Company on a fully diluted and as converted basis.
Canron, headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, is a leading steel fabrication and
erection company with approximately $220,000,000 in gross revenues.  At this
time, the deal is expected to close sometime in the fourth quarter of 2000.
However, no definitive documentation has yet to be agreed upon.

(2) Material Changes in Operations

    During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership experienced a
net loss of $473,942.  This loss resulted from a net investment loss of $37,352,
an unrealized gain on investments of $1,434,150, and a net realized loss on
investments of 1,870,740, resulting from a writeoff of the Partnership's
investment in Feminique Corp.  The unrealized gain of $1,434,150 primarily
resulted from realizing a previously reserved loss in Feminique.  Holdings
remaining in the portfolio had an unrealized loss of $389,362 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000.  Due to the writeoff of the Feminique investments, no
interest income will be accrued in the future as the Partnership no longer holds
any debt securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At September 30, 2000, the Partnership had $78,458 in cash.  On July 28,
2000, $500,000 was distributed to the Limited Partners.  The Partnership's
ability to make future distributions will depend upon the Partnership's success
in realizing a return of investment cost and the realization of any capital
gains from selling its remaining positions in Danzer Corp. and BigHub.com.

    Because the Partnership's portfolio investments are being wound down and the
Partnership is being liquidated, no new or follow-on investments will be made.
Moreover, cash will only be generated when investment positions are sold.
