    Item 2:    Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial
               Condition and Results of Operations
   
    Sales, amounting to $543,000, were made by LINC Technology
    Corporation in the third quarter of 1997.  Accounting of the
    amount of sales on products subject to partnership royalty will
    not be done until the end of the calendar year.
   
    In 1995, a new royalty agreement was put into effect in order to
    reduce administrative expenses.  Under the new plan, no royalties
    will accrue to the partnership until a total of $300,000.00 of
    sales on products licensed to LINC Technology Corporation have
    been generated and collected.  At that point, a lump sum royalty
    payment of $15,000.00 will be paid to the patrnership group of
    TASA Products Limited (the Partnership), Energy Sciences Limited
    Partnership, Telemetric Controls Limited Partnership, and
    Communications Link Limited Partnership.  After such payment,
    again no royalty will accrue or be owed until another $300,000.00
    in sales has occured, after which a second lump sum of $15,000.00
    is due, and so forth.   LINC Technology Corporation will be
    responsible for periodic mailings to the partnership at its
    expense.  Bases on IRS regulations, no partnership 1065 tax
    returns and K-1s will have to be filed or issued until the royalty
    accrues.  As a result of this new arrangement, no royalties
    are expected to be accrued in this fiscal period.
   
    The partnership originally had licensed the manufacturing and sale
    of its products to Communications Research Corporation, (CRC) a
    subsidiary of Energy Sciences Corporation, (ESC).  ESC and the
    Partnership entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on April 29,
    1986.  On May 13, 1988, ESC's bankruptcy was dismissed and all
    remaining assets, primarily amounts owed to ESC by the
    partnerships and the rights to produce electronic products at CRC,
    were repossessed by the sole secured creditor of ESC, Mr. Thomas
    Murphy.  A new company was formed in September 1988, called LINC
    Technology Corporation. The company is owned, at present, by
    Messrs. Maes, Steffey, and Nichols in the amount of 19% each; Mr.
    Murphy owns 10% and the balance of 33% is owned by outside
    investors.  Mr. Nichols resigned from LINC in August 1991, but
    remains a stockholder.  LINC has been initially privately financed
    with $49,000 of cash to pursue a variety of opportunities in
    electronics and data communications.  LINC believes that a market
    remains for some of the partnerships' products.  Initial emphasis
    is on LCM and DOVE.  A license has been entered into between the
    partnership and LINC, similar in terms to that which existed with
    CRC, with the exception that in return for elimination of most of
    the debt owed by the partnerships to ESC, (and now, therefore, Mr.
    Murphy), and in recognition of the need to attract more capital
    for LINC, the royalty to be paid the partnerships is set at 5% of
    gross sales, (compared to the prior formula, ranging from 10% down
    to 6%).  The new royalty is divided between partnerships in the
    case of joint ownership of rights, such as the case with DOVE, for
    example.  All royalties were deferred for three years from
    September 1988 in order to allow LINC to build its working
    capital.  Starting in September 1991, royalties are 1% of gross
    sales for twelve months, 3% of gross sales for the next twelve
    months and 5% thereafter.  The royalty arrangement has been
    modified slightly as described in the first paragraph.
   
    LINC Technology Corporation's address is 2635 151st Place NE
    Redmond, WA 98052 and telephone 425-882-2206.  Modest sales
    continue to be made but are still irregular quarter to quarter. 
    The company concentrates on industrial data communications.             
    There can be no guarantee that LINC will be successful, that
    capital can be obtained or that sufficient sales will result so
    that any significant royalties will be paid to the partnership.   

    LINC filed a registration statement with the State of Washington,
    under the ULOR provision, for sale of up to $450,000 worth of its
    common stock, which became effective May 9, 1989.  No stock was sold
    under the offering and it was withdrawn on May 10, 1990.  LINC intends
    to continue to pursue either public or private financing, but there can
    be no assurance that such financing will be available.
                          
                       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.
