Applicant's Representations

    1. Applicant is an open-end management investment company organized 
as a Delaware limited partnership. On August 17, 1987, applicant 
registered under the Act and filed a registration statement to register 
its securities under the Securities Act of 1933. Applicant's 
registration statement was declared effective on November 9, 1988, and 
its initial public offered commenced shortly thereafter.
    2. On January 7, 1992, in light of applicant's small size and the 
resulting unlikelihood of achieving economies of scale, the Individual 
General Partners of applicant unanimously approved a Plan Dissolution, 
Liquidation, and Termination (the ``Plan'') providing for the 
dissolution of applicant, the liquidation of applicant's assets, and 
the distribution of the proceeds from such liquidation to applicant's 
unitholders. Proxy materials relating to the Plan were filed with the 
SEC and distributed to unitholders on or about March 26, 1992. On April 
30, 1992, a majority of applicant's unitholder approved the Plan.
    3. As of April 30, 1992, applicant had 464,696,91 units of 
partnership interest outstanding, with a net asset value of $10.22 per 
unit and an aggregate net asset value of $4,749,213.20. On May 1, 1992, 
applicant's assets were liquidated and the proceeds of such 
liquidation, less an amount retained for liabilities, were distributed 
to applicant's unitholders in an amount based upon applicant's per 
share net asset value. All sales of portfolios securities were executed 
in open market transactions through brokers or dealers not affiliated 
with applicant or its investment adviser.
    4. The expenses applicable to the liquidation amounted to 
approximately $24,486.31. These expenses, which were for accounting, 
printing, administrative, and legal services, were borne by applicant's 
investment adviser and administrator. In addition, prior to 
distribution of applicant's assets, its adviser and administrator 
contributed to applicant's assets an amount equal to applicant's 
unamortized organizational expenses.
    5. At the time of filing the application, applicant has no assets 
or liabilities. Applicant has no unitholders and is not a party to any 
litigation or administrative proceeding. Applicant is not engaged in, 
and does not propose to engage in, any business activities other than 
those necessary for the winding-up of its affairs. To effect the 
dissolution of applicant as a Delaware limited partnership, a 
certificate of cancellation will be filed with the Secretary of State 
of the State of Delaware.

    For the SEC, by the Division of Investment Management, under 
delegated authority.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
