Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL - ------ -------------------------------------------------------- CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -----------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources - -------------------------------
During 1994, net cash used by operations totaled $743,381. The Partnership paid management fees of $795,579 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed related parties for operating expenses of $574,227. In addition, $30,000 was paid to the individual general partners as compensation for their services. Other operating expenses of $246,871 were paid. The Partnership received $903,296 in interest income.
In 1994, the Partnership issued $128,812 in secured notes receivable mostly to a portfolio company in the medical industry. Equity investments of $8,513,620 were funded primarily to portfolio companies in the medical, biotechnology, computer systems and software, and communications industries. Repayments of secured and convertible notes receivable during 1994 provided cash of $1,247,037. Proceeds from the sale of investments were $3,287,569. The Partnership also received $35,451 in cash distributions from venture capital limited partnerships. At December 31, 1994, the Partnership had commitments to fund additional investments totaling $898,895.
During 1994, UroMed Corporation and TheraTx, Incorporated completed their initial public offerings (IPOs). The IPO's indicate liquidity for these investments.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1994 were $11,371,533. Future interest income on short-term investments and notes receivable, and operating cash reserves are expected to be adequate to fund Partnership operations through the next twelve months.
Results of Operations - ---------------------
1994 compared to 1993 - ---------------------
Net income was $1,221,882 and $1,261,084 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The slight decrease was primarily due to a $2,248,075 decrease in the change in fair value of equity investments, a $399,000 decrease in the change in fair value of secured notes receivable, and a $353,238 increase in realized losses from investment write-downs. These changes were partially offset by a $3,144,165 increase in net realized gain from the sale of equity investments.
During 1994, the decrease in fair value of equity investments of $314,082 was primarily due to decreases in portfolio companies in the biomedical, retail/consumer products and communications industries, partially offset by increases in portfolio companies in the medical industry. In 1993, the increase of $1,933,993 was primarily due to increases in portfolio companies in the medical and communications industries, partially offset by decreases in the retail/consumer products industry.
During 1994, the Partnership recorded a decrease in fair value of secured notes receivable of $443,000 based upon the level of loan loss reserves deemed adequate by the Managing General Partners. A $44,000 decrease was recorded for 1993.
During 1994, the Partnership realized losses from investment write-downs of $541,125 related to portfolio companies in the medical and environmental industries. During 1993, the Partnership realized losses of $187,887 related to a portfolio company in the biotechnology industry as the company sold its assets.
Realized gains from sale of equity investments was $3,209,979 for the year ended December 31, 1994, related to the sales of TheraTx, Incorporated, UroMed Corporation, Erox Corporation, and Orthologic Corporation. During 1993, realized gains of $65,814 mostly related to partial sales of Erox Corporation.
During 1994, total interest income was $943,311 compared to $1,130,936 in 1993. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in notes receivable interest income as loans to a portfolio company in the environmental industry were placed on nonaccrual status.
Total operating expenses were $800,000 in both 1994 and 1993. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may not reimburse the General Partners for expenses that aggregate more than 2% of total limited partner contributions. As a result, operating expenses of $287,129 and $228,813 were absorbed by the General Partners in 1994 and 1993, respectively. Had the limitation not been in effect, total operating expenses in 1994 and 1993 would have been $1,087,129 and $1,028,813, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher overall portfolio 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.
1993 compared to 1992 - ---------------------
Net income was $1,261,084 in 1993 compared to a net loss of $2,292,606 in 1992. The change was primarily due to a $2,344,691 decrease in management fees, a $636,957 increase in the change in net unrealized fair value of equity investments, a $395,906 increase in notes receivable interest income, and a $263,685 decrease in total operating expenses. These changes were partially offset by a $187,887 increase in realized losses from investment write- downs.
Management fees were $799,060 in 1993 compared to $3,143,751 in 1992. In 1992, as Limited Partners were admitted to the Partnership, a full first year fee was paid in this final year of Unit sales. Also contributing to the decrease was a change in the management fee rate from four percent of Adjusted Capital Contributions to two percent. Management fees are expected to be at this level until 1995 and will decrease thereafter as discussed in the financial statements note entitled "Related Party Transactions."
The change in fair value of equity investments reflected a net increase in the fair value of the Partnership's holdings. In 1993, the increase of $1,933,993 was primarily attributable to increases in portfolio companies in the medical and communications industries, partially offset by decreases in the retail/consumer products industry. In 1992, the increase of $1,297,036 was primarily due to portfolio companies in the medical and retail/consumer products industries.
Notes receivable interest income was $531,039 and $135,133 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding balances on interest-bearing notes in 1993 as more funds were being invested.
Total operating expenses were $800,000 in 1993 compared to $1,063,685 in 1992. The decrease is due to the Partnership recognizing all of the 1991 contingent liabilities totaling $263,685 in 1992 as new Units were sold. As previously disclosed, the Partnership may not reimburse the General Partners for expenses that aggregate more than 2% of total limited partner contributions. As a result, operating expenses of $228,813 and $187,161 were absorbed by the General Partners in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
During 1993, the Partnership realized losses from investment write-downs of $187,887 related to a portfolio company in the biotechnology industry as the company sold its assets and the Managing General Partners do not believe the Partnership will receive any value for its investment. No such losses were realized in the same period in 1992.
Realized gains from sale of equity investments were $65,814 for the year ended December 31, 1993, mostly related to sales of EROX Corporation. No such gains were recorded in 1992.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ----------------------------
The Partners Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund, L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of certain securities owned by correspondence with the individual investee companies and a physical examination of those securities held by a safeguarding agent as of December 31, 1994 and 1993. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund, L.P. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three- year period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As explained in Notes 1, 5 and 6, the financial statements include investments of $20,420,915 and $15,180,488 (63% and 49% of partners' capital) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, whose values, in certain circumstances, have been estimated by the Managing General Partners in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. We have reviewed the procedures used by the Managing General Partners in arriving at their estimate of value of such securities and have inspected underlying documentation, and, in the circumstances, we believe the procedures are reasonable and the documentation appropriate. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the difference could be material.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -----------------------------
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------------------
Organization - ------------
Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in June 1989. The purpose of the Partnership is to make venture capital investments in emerging growth companies. The Partnership elected to be a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), and operates as a nondiversified investment company as that term is defined in the Act. The Managing General Partners are Technology Funding Ltd. ("TFL") and Technology Funding Inc. ("TFI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TFL. There are also three individual general partners. A wholly-owned subsidiary of TFI, Technology Funding Securities Corporation ("TFSC"), was the dealer-manager for the offering.
The Partnership offering commenced in May 1990. On January 2, 1991, the minimum number of Units required to commence Partnership operations (15,000) had been sold. On December 31, 1992, the offering terminated with 400,000 Units sold. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will continue until December 31, 1998, unless further extended for up to two additional two-year periods from such date if the Managing General Partners so determine or unless sooner dissolved.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - -------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents are principally comprised of cash invested in demand accounts, money market instruments and commercial paper and are stated at cost plus accrued interest. The Partnership considers all money market and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Syndication Fees - ----------------
Syndication fees, which consist of commissions and organizational and offering costs, are deducted from the partners' capital accounts. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, selling commissions are allocated solely to the Limited Partners. All other syndication fees are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the Managing General Partners. Syndication fees are not deductible for income tax purposes. Such fees may result in a reduction of any gain (or an increase in any loss) realized for tax purposes by the partners upon dissolution of the Partnership or a transfer of their interests.
Organizational Costs - --------------------
Organizational costs of $35,000 are amortized over 60 months, using the straight-line method.
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 generally accepted accounting principles which may not equate to tax accounting, however, the difference in the total book and tax cost basis as of December 31, 1994 is not material.
Net Realized Income (Loss) Per Unit - -----------------------------------
Net realized income (loss) per Unit is calculated by dividing the weighted average number of Units outstanding for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 of 400,000, 400,000, and 219,481, respectively, into total net realized income (loss) allocated to the Limited Partners. The Managing General Partners contributed an amount equal to 0.1% of total limited partner capital contributions and did not receive any Partnership Units.
Investments: - -----------
The Partnership's method of accounting for investments, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is the fair value basis used for investment companies. The fair value of Partnership investments is their initial cost basis with changes as noted below:
Equity Investments ------------------
The fair value for publicly-traded equity investments (marketable equity securities) is based upon the five day average closing sales price or bid/ask price that is available on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market. Certain publicly-traded equity investments may not be marketable due to selling restrictions. For publicly-traded equity investments with selling restrictions, an illiquidity discount of 25% is applied when determining the fair value. Sales of equity investments are recorded on the trade date. The basis on which cost is determined in computing realized gains or losses is generally specific identification.
Other equity investments, which are not publicly traded, are generally valued utilizing pricing obtained from the most recent round of third-party financings. Valuation is estimated quarterly by the Managing General Partners. Included in equity investments are convertible or subordinated notes receivable as repayment of these notes may occur through conversion into equity investments.
Venture capital limited partnership investments are initially recorded at cost and reduced for distributions that are a return of capital. Distributions from limited partnership cumulative earnings are reflected as realized gains by the Partnership.
Equity and venture capital limited partnership investments with temporary changes in fair value result in increases or decreases to the unrealized fair value of equity investments. The cost basis does not change. In the case of an other than temporary decline in value below cost basis, an appropriate reduction in the cost basis is recognized as a realized loss with the fair value being adjusted to match the new cost basis. Adjustments to fair value basis are reflected as "Change in net unrealized fair value of equity investments." Cost basis adjustments are reflected as "Realized losses from investment write-downs" or "Net realized loss from venture capital limited partnership investments" on the Statements of Operations.
Secured Notes Receivable, net -----------------------------
The secured notes receivable portfolio includes accrued interest less the discount related to warrants and the allowance for loan losses. The portfolio approximates fair value through inclusion of an allowance for loan losses. Allowance for loan losses is reviewed quarterly by the Managing General Partners and is adjusted to a level deemed adequate to cover possible losses inherent in notes and unfunded commitments. Notes receivable are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of the Managing General Partners, the future collectibility of interest or principal is in doubt.
In conjunction with the secured notes granted to portfolio companies, the Partnership has received warrants to purchase certain shares of capital stock of the borrowing companies. The cost basis of the warrants and the resulting discount has been estimated by the Managing General Partners to be 1% of the principal balance of the original notes made to the borrowing companies. The discount is amortized to interest income on a straight-line basis over the term of the loan. Warrants received in conjunction with convertible notes are not assigned any additional costs. These warrants are included in the equity investment portfolio.
Nonrefundable fees received in connection with loan fundings are deferred and amortized to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method or the straight-line method if it is not materially different. Direct loan origination costs mainly consist of third-party costs and generally are reimbursed by portfolio companies.
2. Change in Net Unrealized Fair Value of Equity Investments ---------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the accounting policy as stated in Note 1, the Statements of Operations include a line item entitled "Change in net unrealized fair value of equity investments." The table below discloses details of the changes:
3. Related Party Transactions --------------------------
Related party costs are included in costs and expenses shown on the Statements of Operations and Partners' Capital. For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, related party costs were as follows:
Management fees are equal to six percent of the total limited partners' capital contributions for the first year of Partnership operations, four percent of Adjusted Capital Contributions (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) for the second year, two percent of Adjusted Capital Contributions for the third, fourth, and fifth years, and one percent of Adjusted Capital Contributions in the sixth and subsequent years. 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. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, a full first year fee was paid to the Managing General Partners as each additional Limited Partner was admitted to the Partnership, regardless of the date the Limited Partner was admitted. Such amounts due to related parties were $66,349 and $65,727 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Partnership reimburses the Managing General Partners for organizational and offering expenses (up to five percent of the total limited partners' capital contributions) incurred in connection with organizing the Partnership and the offering of Units thereof. Such reimbursements have been reflected in the Statements of Partners' Capital as syndication fees except for $35,000 of organizational costs capitalized in 1991.
Also included in the syndication fees are commissions and fees paid to Technology Funding Securities Corporation, the dealer-manager. There were no such fees paid in 1994 and 1993. During the year ended December 31, 1992, the Partnership paid commissions and fees of $2,572,920, of which $2,403,903 was reallowed to participating broker-dealers.
As compensation for their services, the individual general partners each receive $6,000 annually plus $1,000 for each attended meeting of the Management Committee. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, $30,000, $28,000, and $29,000 of such fees were paid, respectively, and are included in the Statements of Operations. Two of the three individual general partners each own 20 Units and the third owns 70 Units.
The Partnership reimburses the Managing General Partners for operating expenses paid by the Managing General Partners incurred in connection with the business of the Partnership. Reimbursable operating expenses paid by the Managing General Partners include costs (other than Organizational and Offering Expenses and General Partner Overhead) such as administrative and investor services, investment operations, and computer services. Amounts due from related parties related to such expenses were $10,568 compared to $8,202 due to related parties at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may not pay or reimburse the Managing General Partners for operational costs that aggregate more than 2% of total limited partner capital contributions of the Partnership. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Managing General Partners absorbed Partnership operating costs of $287,129, $228,813, and $187,161 respectively, as a result of this 2% limitation.
Under the terms of a computer service agreement, the Partnership recognized charges from Technology Administrative Management, a division of TFL, for its share of computer support costs. These amounts are included in computer services expense.
4. Allocation of Profits and Losses --------------------------------
Net realized profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated based on the beginning of year partners' capital balances as follows:
(a) Profits:
(i) First, to those partners with deficit capital account balances until such deficits have been eliminated;
(ii) Second, to the partners as necessary to offset net loss and sales commissions previously allocated under (b)(ii) below; then
(iii)75% to the Limited Partners as a group in proportion to the number of Units, 5% to the Limited Partners in proportion to the Unit Months of each Limited Partner, and 20% to the Managing General Partners.
(b) Losses:
(i) First, to the partners as necessary to offset the net profits previously allocated to the partners under (a)(iii) above; then
(ii) 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the Managing General Partners.
Losses allocable to Limited Partners in excess of their capital account balances will be allocated to the Managing General Partners, with net profits thereafter otherwise allocable to those Limited Partners being allocated to the Managing General Partners to the extent of such losses. For allocation purposes, the Units held by the individual general partners will be treated as Units held by Limited Partners.
Interest income earned on funds held in escrow was allocated 100% to the Limited Partners. Income earned on short-term investments during the Offering Period was allocated monthly 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the Managing General Partners.
Losses from unaffiliated venture capital limited partnership investments are allocated pursuant to section (b) above. Gains are allocated first to offset previously allocated losses pursuant to (b)(i) above, and then 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the Managing General Partners.

The Partnership also received warrants to purchase 23,540 Series B Preferred shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

These notes are secured by specific assets of the borrowing companies. Interest rates on secured notes receivable at December 31, 1994 ranged from 11.75% to 13.7%.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated quarterly by the Managing General Partners and is adjusted based upon changes to the portfolio size and risk profile. There were no write-offs during 1994 or 1993. Although the allowance for loan losses is established by evaluating individual debtor repayment ability, the allowance represents the Managing General Partners' assessment of the portfolio taken as a whole.

8. Commitments -----------
The Partnership is 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 fundings, venture capital limited partnership investments, 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. As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership had unfunded commitments as follows:
The Partnership uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance- sheet instruments. Commitments to extend financing are agreements to lend to a company as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contract. The credit lines generally have fixed termination dates or other termination clauses. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. All convertible and secured note commitments funded require collateral specified in the agreements.
