Item 1. Business
General
Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P. (the "Fund" or the "Registrant") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 20, 1988. The managing general partner of the Fund is FCM Fiduciary Capital Management Company, a Delaware general partnership (the "Managing General Partner" or "FCM"). The independent general partners of the Fund are Norman J. Peer, Robert H. Arnold, and E. Bruce Fredrikson (the "Independent General Partners"). (The Managing Partner and the Independent General Partners are collectively referred to herein as the "General Partners.")
The general partners of the Managing General Partner are FCM Fiduciary Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Mezzanine Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation and an affiliate of PaineWebber Incorporated, and Paul Bagley. Paul Bagley owns 100% of the stock of FCM Fiduciary Capital Corporation.
The Managing General Partner serves as investment adviser ("Investment Adviser") to the Fund and is responsible for the identification of all investments made by the Fund and all other investment advisory services necessary for the operation of the Fund in carrying out its investment objectives and policies. The Independent General Partners oversee the investment activities of the Investment Adviser.
The Fund has elected to operate as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in subordinated debt and related equity securities issued as the mezzanine financing of privately structured, friendly leveraged buyouts, leveraged acquisitions and leveraged recapitalizations. A separate fund, Fiduciary Capital Pension Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("FCPP") was also formed on October 20, 1988 for tax-exempt investors with investment objectives, policies and restrictions similar to those of the Fund. The Fund and FCPP co-invest in the investments; however, each fund is accounted for separately.
On January 26, 1990, the Fund and its affiliate, FCPP (collectively, the "Funds"), began a public offering of their units of limited partnership interests (the "Units"). The Units were registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form N-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Funds collectively held three closings for the sale of the Units during the period from August 14, 1990 through October 18, 1990. As a result of the closings, the Funds sold 65,898 Units representing an aggregate purchase price of $65,898,000. Of these amounts, 36,102 Units representing an aggregate purchase price of $36,102,000 and 29,796 Units representing an aggregate purchase price of $29,796,000 were received by the Fund and FCPP, respectively.
A special meeting of the Fund's Limited Partners was held on October 1, 1993. At the meeting, the Limited Partners approved the extension of the Fund's investment period until December 31, 1995 and the adoption of a fundamental policy of periodic unit repurchases. In connection with the adoption of the repurchase policy, each $1,000 Unit was redenominated into fifty $20 Units. After giving effect to this redenomination, the Fund had 1,805,100 Units outstanding as of October 1, 1993.
Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase policy, the Fund will annually offer to repurchase from its Limited Partners up to 7.5% of its outstanding Units for an amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit, net of a fee (not to exceed 2%) to be retained by the Fund to offset expenses incurred in connection with the repurchase offer. If the number of tendered Units in any year exceeds 7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General Partners may vote to repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units.
Repurchases of Units since the adoption of the plan can be summarized as follows:
Each fund's participation in the following portfolio investments is in proportion to the amount of capital that each fund had available for investment at the time each investment was acquired. All amounts shown in this report with respect to investments represent only the Fund's proportionate share of the amounts involved.
Portfolio Investments
As of December 31, 1995, the Fund held portfolio investments in nine Managed Companies, with an aggregate cost of approximately $16.7 million. As of December 31, 1995, the Fund had no investments in Non-Managed Companies. Managed Companies are those to which significant managerial assistance is offered.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund exercised the warrants it held in Protection One, Inc. ("Protection One"), acquired a new portfolio investment in R.B.M. Precision Metal Products, Inc. ("RBM") and acquired two follow-on investments in Canadian's Corp. ("Canadian's") at a total cost of approximately $3.2 million.
The Fund's subordinated debt investment in Protection One Alarm Monitoring, Inc. ("Protection One Alarm") was prepaid during 1995. In addition, the Fund sold its subordinated debt investment in KB Alloys, Inc. ("KB Alloys"), all of its Carr-Gottstein Foods Co. ("Carr-Gottstein") and Protection One common stock and a portion of its KEMET Corporation ("KEMET") common stock during 1995. In the aggregate, the Fund received approximately $10.1 million in proceeds, including applicable prepayment premiums, from these transactions.
The Fund's investment period ended on December 31, 1995. Although the Fund is permitted to make additional investments in existing portfolio companies after 1995, the Fund is no longer permitted to acquire investments in new portfolio companies, except to fund commitments made prior to December 31, 1995.
As of December 31, 1995, the Fund had committed to make new portfolio investments in Atlas Environmental, Inc. ("Atlas"), Monaco Finance, Inc. ("Monaco") and Advantage Funding Group, Inc. ("Advantage"). In addition, the Fund had agreed in principle to a financial restructuring of its LMC Operating Corp. ("LMC") investment, which involves a conversion of the Fund's existing subordinated debt and warrants into preferred stock and a follow-on investment in LMC for the purchase of new common stock. If these investments were ultimately funded at the expected amounts, the Fund would have utilized all of the capital that was available for investment as of December 31, 1995.
As discussed below, the Atlas and LMC investments were acquired by the Fund during January and February 1996, respectively. The proposed Monaco investment is still subject to various contingencies. The proposed Advantage investment was abandoned during 1996. The portion of the Fund's available capital that had been reserved for the Advantage investment is now reserved to fund the Fund's 1996 annual repurchase offer.
New Portfolio Investments in 1995
R.B.M. Precision Metal Products, Inc. On May 24, 1995, the Fund invested $1,430,800 in RBM. The investment consisted of $1,460,000 of 13.00% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due May 24, 2002, with warrants to acquire common stock.

KB Alloys, Inc. During 1993, the Fund invested $3,488,282 in KB Alloys. The investment consisted of $3,561,003 aggregate principal amount of 20.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due June 30,
2001. KB Alloys is required to pay 13.00% interest currently, while the remaining 7.00% of the interest may be deferred at the borrower's option. During any period in which the payment of interest is deferred, the interest rate on the notes increases from 20.00% to 21.00%. To date, KB Alloys has elected to defer payment of the interest.
During December 1995, the Fund sold these notes to an unrelated institutional investor at a price of $4,002,044. As described above, KB Alloys was paying current interest on these notes at a rate of 13% per annum and, in addition, the Fund was accruing a deferred interest component at a rate of 8% per annum. The accrued deferred interest totaled $728,027 at the date of the sale. The sales price was less than the sum of the amortized cost of the notes and the total accrued interest, resulting in a book loss of $230,483. This book loss was recorded in the financial statements as an adjustment of interest income.
KB Alloys, headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania, is a leading North American manufacturer of aluminum master alloys. Master alloys are added during the production of aluminum to enhance or supply physical properties and to function as a hardener, refiner or promoter of electrical conductivity.

LMC paid the 1995 interest payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes held by the Fund out of an escrow account which was established and funded in connection with the Fund's acquisition of the notes. The escrow account was established to fund the interest payments in the event LMC was otherwise unable to fund the payment.
On February 9, 1996, the Fund participated in a financial restructuring of its LMC investment. The Fund converted its existing LMC subordinated debt and warrants into preferred stock and agreed to make a follow-on investment for the purchase of $545,454 of new common stock. As a result of the restructuring, the Fund increased its ownership of LMC from approximately 13% to approximately 27%.

Other Portfolio Investments
Neodata Services, Inc. ("Neodata Services") During 1991, the Fund purchased subordinated notes in Neodata Services and warrants to purchase common stock of Neodata Corporation ("Neodata"), the parent company of Neodata Services.
During 1992, Neodata raised additional equity via a rights offering to existing shareholders. The Fund elected to purchase additional common stock in the rights offering in order to maintain its existing ownership position in Neodata.
During May 1993, Neodata Services prepaid the subordinated notes that the Fund held following a successful refinancing of the Company's debt at a lower interest rate.
During November 1994, Neodata's stockholders approved a recapitalization of the company. Pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization plan, the Fund received a combination of 10.00% Class A convertible preferred stock and new common stock in exchange for its old common stock and warrants.
The Neodata stock was written down to a negligible amount at March 31, 1995. The Fund has consistently valued this investment based upon a multiple of Neodata's cash flow. Because Neodata's long-term debt presently provides for the accrual, rather than current payment, of interest, the Company's debt has grown to a level which now exceeds the Fund's valuation.
Neodata, headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, is the largest contract fulfillment company in the world and a leader in providing fulfillment and marketing services to the magazine publishing industry.
Huntington Holdings, Inc. During 1992, the Fund purchased subordinated notes and warrants to purchase common stock in Huntington. During February 1994, Huntington prepaid the subordinated notes that the Fund held.
The Fund continued to hold the warrants to purchase common stock until 1996. During December 1995, Huntington entered into a letter of intent, under the terms of which all Huntington stock would be sold for cash. The sale was consummated during February 1996. The Fund's share of the actual sales proceeds totaled $1,511,364, of which $1,320,711 was received during February 1996. The balance is being held in escrow to fund various transaction expenses and potential contingent purchase price adjustments, and as collateral for potential claims of the buyer with respect to representations made by the selling shareholders, including the Fund. The escrow amount must be maintained for a two year period. The Fund valued the Huntington warrants at December 31, 1995 at an amount approximately equal to 75% of the ultimate sales proceeds (not including the Fund's share of the escrow) due to the inherent uncertainty that existed at that time as to whether the sale would actually be consummated.
Pursuant to the terms of the Fund's agreement with Huntington, under certain circumstances the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by the Fund increased periodically. The last such increase occurred on August 1, 1995 when the Fund received the rights to an additional 33.6 shares.
Huntington, headquartered in Huntington, Indiana, is one of the largest manufacturers and marketers of maintenance and cleaning chemicals in North America. Huntington produces a wide range of intermediate and final-stage cleansers, sterilants and disinfectants for use by hospitals, schools, nursing homes and various industries.

The Fund continues to hold the Class A common stock and the warrants to purchase Class B common stock. As of December 31, 1995, the Fund had recorded $872,172 of net unrealized appreciation in the value of its remaining Amity investment.
Amity manufactures men's and ladies' fine personal leather goods and distributes these products to department stores, mass merchandisers and company-owned Wallet Works stores. Amity markets its

The investment consisted of (a) $6,087,185 of Elgin's 13.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due September 1, 2001 with warrants to purchase common stock in ENI and (b) $711,971 of ENI 10.00% preferred stock and (c) $48,927 of ENI common stock.
The Fund continues to hold its entire investment in Elgin and ENI. As of December 31, 1995, the Fund had recorded $161,379 of unrealized appreciation in the ENI preferred stock.
Elgin, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, is a diversified industrial company that is organized into three distinct segments.

The Manufacturing Group manufactures machinery and equipment for niches in coal and other mineral processing markets. The Engineering and Construction Group provides a full range of engineering, design and construction management services, including serving as a general contractor under turn-key design and build contracts.
Mobile Technology, Inc. ("MTI") During 1991, the Fund purchased subordinated notes in MTI and various equity securities in MTI's parent company, MTI Holdings, Inc.
The Fund stopped accruing interest on the MTI notes that it held, effective October 1, 1992. During the fall of 1992, MTI notified its lenders that it would probably be unable to meet its debt amortization and interest obligations during 1993. In January 1993, MTI confirmed its inability to pay and commenced restructuring negotiations with its various lenders outside of bankruptcy proceedings. These restructuring negotiations were successfully completed and the restructuring was consummated during July 1994. Pursuant to the terms of the restructuring, the Fund and MTI's other subordinated lenders exchanged their subordinated notes for common stock in a new holding company, MTI Holdings II, Inc. ("MTI II"), which now owns 100% of MTI. The Fund also received a minimal number of additional shares of MTI II common stock on December 28, 1994 in connection with the liquidation of MTI Holdings, Inc., the original holding company.
The Fund recognized a realized loss of $3,987,656 during 1994 as a result of the restructuring. The Fund also recorded an unrealized loss of $249,766 in the value of the MTI II stock as of December 31, 1994.
MTI is a provider of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography mobile shared-services.
Competition
The Fund competes with other entities having similar investment objectives. In addition, because all investments are selected and managed exclusively by the Investment Adviser on behalf of the Fund, any other entities that compete with the Investment Adviser for mezzanine investments, therefore, indirectly compete with the Fund. These competitors include other leveraged acquisition partnerships, other business development companies, investment partnerships and corporations, small business investment companies, and large industrial and financial companies investing directly or through affiliates and individuals. Some of these competitors have more experience with investments similar to those sought by the Funds, greater financial resources and more personnel than the Funds and/or the Investment Adviser. To the extent that there is more competition for investments, the yield available to mezzanine investors may decrease.
Employees
The Fund has no employees. As discussed above, the Managing General Partner manages the Fund's investments, subject to the supervision of the Independent General Partners, and performs services on behalf of the Fund. The General Partners are entitled to certain fees and reimbursements of certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of these management services. See Item 10 of this Report, "Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant" and Item 13 of this Report, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions".
Item 2.

Item 2. Properties
The Fund does not own or lease any physical properties.
Item 3.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There are no material legal proceedings pending directly against the Fund.
As previously reported, FCM, the Managing General Partner of the Fund, had been named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit against PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and a number of its affiliates concerning its sale of 70 different limited partnerships and other direct investment programs, including the offering of the Units. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit allege, among other things, that the defendants violated federal securities laws and committed common law fraud in the marketing of direct investments.
On May 30, 1995, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order certifying the class and dismissing the class action against FCM without prejudice. PaineWebber and Mezzanine Capital Corporation, a minority general partner in FCM and an affiliate of PaineWebber, remain as defendants.
During January 1996, PaineWebber signed a memorandum of understanding with the plaintiffs in the class action outlining the terms under which the parties have agreed to settle the case. Pursuant to that memorandum of understanding, PaineWebber irrevocably deposited $125 million into an escrow fund under the supervision of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to be used to resolve the litigation in accordance with a definitive settlement agreement and plan of allocation that the parties expect to submit to the court for its consideration and approval within the next several months. Until a definitive settlement and plan of allocation is approved by the court, there can be no assurance what, if any, payment or non-monetary benefits will be made available to unitholders in the Fund.
During February 1996, approximately 150 plaintiffs filed an action in Sacramento, California Superior Court against PaineWebber Incorporated and various affiliated entities concerning the plaintiffs' purchase of various limited partnership interests. The complaint alleges, among other things, that PaineWebber and its related entities committed fraud by selling or promoting limited partnership investments that were unsuitable for the plaintiffs and by overstating the benefits, understating the risks and failing to state material facts concerning the investments. The complaint seeks compensatory damages of $15 million plus punitive damages.
The Fund was not named as a defendant in either lawsuit. However, pursuant to certain contractual arrangements between FCM and PaineWebber in connection with the offering of the Units, the Fund may be required to indemnify PaineWebber and its affiliates for their costs and liability in connection with any class action claims relating to the Fund. FCM believes that the Fund's exposure with respect to the indemnity will not have any material adverse effect on the Fund's financial condition.
Item 4.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners of the Fund, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
PART II
Item 5.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
There is no organized trading market for the purchase and sale of the Units and certain measures have been adopted and implemented to assure that no such organized trading market will develop.
The Fund's Limited Partners adopted a periodic unit repurchase plan during 1993. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase policy, the Fund will annually offer to purchase from its Limited Partners, up to 7.5% of its outstanding Units for an amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit, net of a fee (not to exceed 2%) to be retained by the Fund to offset expenses incurred in connection with the repurchase offer. If the number of tendered Units in any year exceeds 7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General Partners may vote to repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units.
Repurchases of Units since the adoption of the plan can be summarized as follows:
As of March 1, 1996, the number of Limited Partners of record was approximately 1,950.
The Fund made the following distributions to its partners with respect to 1994 and 1995:
*Includes distributions to the Managing General Partner in an amount equal to 1.0% of the total distribution.
Cash distributions for 1994 were paid out of current net investment income (71.0%) and gains from capital transactions (29.0%). Cash distributions for 1995 were paid entirely out of current net investment income.
The Fund expects 1996 distributions, beginning with the distribution payable during May 1996, to be made at a 6% distribution rate ($.30 per Unit per quarter) or greater. The Fund's investment period ended on December 31, 1995. Although the Fund is permitted to make additional investments in existing portfolio companies after 1995, the Fund is no longer permitted to acquire investments in new portfolio companies, except to fund commitments made prior to December 31, 1995. This will impact the amount of the Fund's quarterly distributions for 1996 and subsequent years because all proceeds from future dispositions or maturities of investments will be distributed to investors, except to the extent the cash is needed to fund the annual repurchase offer or to fund any follow-on investments that the Fund may make in existing portfolio companies.
As of December 31, 1995, the Fund had committed to make three new portfolio investments. In addition, the Fund had agreed in principle to a financial restructuring of LMC, which involves a conversion of the Fund's existing subordinated debt and warrants into preferred stock and a follow-on investment in LMC for the purchase of new common stock.
As discussed above in Item 1 of this Report, "Business", one of the committed investments was acquired during January 1996, and a second investment is still pending (subject to various contingencies). In addition, the follow-on investment in LMC was made during February 1996. The third committed investment was abandoned. The portion of the Fund's available capital that had been reserved for the abandoned investment is now reserved to fund the Fund's 1996 annual repurchase offer.

The Fund has authority to borrow funds for operational purposes. To date, however, the Fund has not borrowed any funds and it has no established credit arrangements.
The Fund's Limited Partners adopted a periodic unit repurchase plan during 1993. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase policy, the Fund will annually offer to purchase from its Limited Partners, up to 7.5% of its outstanding Units for an amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit, net of a fee
(not to exceed 2%) to be retained by the Fund to offset expenses incurred in connection with the repurchase offer. If the number of tendered Units in any year exceeds 7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General Partners may vote to purchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units.
Repurchases of Units since the adoption of the plan can be summarized as follows:
As of December 31, 1995, the Fund held portfolio investments in nine Managed Companies, with an aggregate cost of approximately $16.7 million. These portfolio investments, which were made from net offering proceeds and the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of other portfolio investments, represent approximately 56.7% of the Fund's net assets. When acquired, these portfolio investments generally consisted of high-yield subordinated debt, linked with an equity participation or a comparable participation feature. These securities were typically issued in private placement transactions and were subject to certain restrictions on transfer or sale, thereby limiting their liquidity. A number of the portfolio companies have prepaid their subordinated debt that the Fund held. In addition, three of the portfolio companies have successfully completed IPOs of their stock. The Fund has sold the stock it held in these three compainies, except for a portion of its KEMET stock.
As of December 31, 1995, the Fund's remaining assets were invested in short-term commercial paper. These funds are available for investment, for distribution to the partners or to fund the annual repurchase offer.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund exercised the Protection One warrants it held, acquired a new portfolio investments in RBM and acquired two follow-on investments in Canadian's at a total cost of approximately $3.2 million.
The Fund's subordinated debt investment in Protection One Alarm was prepaid during 1995. In addition, the Fund sold its subordinated debt investment in KB Alloys, all of its Carr-Gottstein and Protection One common stock and a portion of its KEMET common stock during 1995. In the aggregate, the Fund received approximately $10.1 million in proceeds, including applicable prepayment premiums, from these transactions.
Accrued interest receivable decreased $487,356 from $627,846 at December 31, 1994 to $140,490 at December 31, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from the sale of the Fund's subordinated debt investment in KB Alloys during 1995 and the placing of the LMC subordinated debt on non-accrual status effective December 1, 1995. Under the terms of KB Alloys notes, a portion of the interest could be deferred at KB Alloys' option. As of December 31, 1994, KB Alloys had elected to defer payment of $462,634 of interest, which was included in the accrued interest receivable amount at December 31, 1994. As discussed below, the Fund stopped accruing interest on the LMC subordinated debt as a result of a commitment made by the Fund during November 1995 to exchange its LMC debt investment for LMC preferred stock as part of a financial restructuring of LMC.
Other assets decreased $655,805, from $659,011 at December 31, 1994 to $3,206 at December 31, 1995. The balance at December 31, 1994 included a $645,148 receivable from the sale of KEMET common stock during December 1994. This amount was received by the Fund during January 1995. This decrease also resulted from a small decrease in prepaid expenses and the amortization of deferred organization expenses.
Prepaid interest income decreased from $60,146 at December 31, 1994 to zero at December 31, 1995. This prepaid interest income was related to the Canadian's 13.50% Subordinated Notes, which required interest to be paid quarterly, in advance, to the Fund. Effective June 1, 1995, the notes were amended to provide for the interest to be paid monthly, in advance, on the first day of each month. The Fund placed these notes on non-accrual status effective December 1, 1995.
Distributions payable to partners decreased $267,630, from $694,068 at December 31, 1994 to $426,438 at December 31, 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the quarterly distribution rate from $.45 per Unit to $.30 per Unit. The decrease also reflects a decrease in the number of outstanding Units as a result of the repurchase of Units by the Fund during November 1995.
For 1995, the Fund declared cash distributions to its partners in the aggregate amount of $1,814,573. The distributions were paid in four equal (on a per-Unit basis) quarterly payments during the months of May, August and November 1995 and February 1996. Each of the distributions was equal to an annualized rate equal to 6% of contributed capital ($.30 per Unit) and were paid entirely out of current net investment income.
The Fund expects 1996 distributions, beginning with the distribution payable during May 1996, to be made at a 6% distribution rate ($.30 per Unit per quarter) or greater. The Fund's investment period ended on December 31, 1995. Although the Fund is permitted to make additional investments in existing portfolio companies after 1995, the Fund is no longer permitted to acquire investments in new portfolio companies, except to fund commitments made prior to December 31, 1995. This will impact the amount of the Fund's quarterly distributions for 1996 and subsequent years because all proceeds from future dispositions or maturities of investments will be distributed to investors, except to the extent the cash is needed to fund the annual repurchase offer or to fund any follow-on investments that the Fund may make in existing portfolio companies.
As of December 31, 1995, the Fund had committed to make three new portfolio investments. In addition, the Fund had agreed in principle to a financial restructuring of LMC, which involves a conversion of the Fund's existing subordinated debt and warrants into preferred stock and a follow-on investment in LMC for the purchase of new common stock.
As discussed above in Item 1 of this Report, "Business", one of the committed investments was acquired during January 1996, and a second investment is still pending (subject to various contingencies). In addition, the follow-on investment in LMC was made during February 1996. The third committed investment was abandoned. The portion of the Fund's available capital that had been reserved for the abandoned investment is now reserved to fund the Fund's 1996 annual repurchase offer.
FCM had been named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit brought in March 1995 against PaineWebber Incorporated and a number of it affiliates concerning the sale of 70 different limited partnerships and other direct investment programs. During May 1995, the Court entered an order certifying the class and dismissing the class action against FCM without prejudice.
During January 1996, PaineWebber signed a memorandum of understanding with the plaintiffs in the class action outlining the terms under which the parties have agreed to settle the case. Pursuant to that memorandum of understanding, PaineWebber irrevocably deposited $125 million into an escrow fund under the supervision of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to be used to resolve the litigation in accordance with a definitive settlement agreement and plan of allocation which the parties expect to submit to the court for its consideration and approval within the next several months. Until a definitive settlement and plan of allocation is approved by the court, there can be no assurance what, if any, payment or non-monetary benefits will be made available to unitholders in the Fund.
A similar, though smaller, suit was filed against PaineWebber and various affiliated entities (not including FCM) during February 1996 in a California state court.
FCM believes that this litigation will be resolved without any material adverse effect on the Fund's financial condition.
Results of Operations
Investment Income and Expenses
The Fund's investment income consists primarily of interest income earned from the various debt investments which have been acquired by the Fund. Major expenses include the investment advisory fee, fund administration fee, professional fees and administrative expenses.
1995 Compared to 1994
The Fund's net investment income was $2,037,186 for the year ended December 31, 1995 on total investment income of $2,668,846 as compared to net investment income of $2,126,889 on total investment income of $2,801,746 for the prior year. Net investment income per limited partnership unit increased from $1.26 to $1.33, and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets increased from 7.06% to 7.19% for the year ended December 31, 1995 in comparison to the prior year.
Although total net investment income decreased from 1994 to 1995, net investment income per limited partnership unit increased. This occurred because of a decrease in the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding, which resulted from the repurchase of Units by the Fund during both November 1994 and 1995.
Net investment income for the year ended December 31, 1995 decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in investment income. The negative effect of the decrease in investment income was partially offset by a decrease in total expenses.
Investment income decreased $132,900, or 4.7%, for the year ended December 31, 1995 in comparison to the prior year. This decrease resulted primarily from the $230,483 loss on the sale of the receivable for deferred interest due from KB Alloys, which was recorded as a reduction of interest income. In addition, there was a decrease from 1994 to 1995 in the amount of the Fund's average net assets and the Fund stopped accruing interest on its subordinated debt investments in Canadian's and LMC (see discussion below). The negative effect of these three items was partially offset by higher interest rates on both the Fund's temporary and subordinated debt investments.
The Fund had average net assets of approximately $28.3 million during the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to approximately $30.1 million during the prior year. This 6.0% decrease in average net assets occurred primarily as a result of the Fund's repurchase of its Units during both November 1994 and 1995. The negative effect of the repurchase of Units was partially offset by net gains achieved with respect to the Fund's investments (primarily the KEMET common stock).
Total expenses decreased $43,197, or 6.4%, for the year ended December 31, 1995 in comparison to the prior year. This percentage decrease was greater than the 6.0% decline in the Fund's average net assets from 1994 to 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from decreases in investment advisory fees and other expenses. The investment advisory fees decreased as a result of the repurchase of Units during November 1994 and 1995 and the realization during July 1994 of the loss on the Fund's MTI investment. Both the repurchase of Units and the realization of the MTI loss decreased the amount of the Fund's available capital (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) which is the base with respect to which the investment advisory fees are calculated. Other expenses decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in consulting fees. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in professional fees.
1994 Compared to 1993
The Fund's net investment income was $2,126,889 for the year ended December 31, 1994 on total investment income of $2,801,746 as compared to net investment income of $2,400,016 on total investment income of $3,132,724 for the prior year. Net investment income per limited partnership unit decreased from $1.33 to $1.26, and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets decreased from 7.34% to 7.06% for the year ended December 31, 1994 in comparison to the prior year.
Net investment income for the year ended December 31, 1994 decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in investment income. The negative effect of the decrease in investment income was partially offset by a decrease in total expenses.
Investment income decreased $330,978, or 10.6%, for the year ended December 31, 1994 in comparison to the prior year. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of approximately 7.9% in the Fund's average net assets. The decrease in average net assets was primarily a result of the repurchase of Units by the Fund during both November 1993 and 1994. In addition, there was an increase from 1993 to 1994 in the relative portion of the Fund's total net assets that were invested in lower-yielding temporary investments and non-income producing equity investments and a decrease in the portion invested in higher-yielding subordinated debt investments. The negative effect of these items was partially offset by higher interest rates obtained in recent months on the Fund's temporary investments.
Total expenses decreased $57,851, or 7.9%, for the year ended December 31, 1994 in comparison to the prior year. This aggregate decrease was equal to the percentage decline in the Fund's average net assets from 1993 to 1994. The decrease resulted primarily from decreases in investment advisory fees, professional fees and other expenses. The investment advisory fees decreased as a result of the repurchase of Units during November 1993 and 1994 and the realization during July 1994 of the loss on the Fund's MTI investment. Both the repurchase of Units and the realization of the MTI loss decreased the amount of the Fund's available capital (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), which is the base with respect to which the investment advisory fees are calculated. The decrease in professional fees and other expenses resulted primarily from legal fees and other costs incurred during 1993 in connection with the preparation of the proxy and consent solicitation.
Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments
The Fund realized gains of $1,089,907 during the year ended December 31, 1993, net losses of $2,532,109 during the year ended December 31, 1994 and gains of $4,588,421 during the year ended December 31, 1995.
The realized gains for 1993 consisted of gains, including applicable prepayment premiums, resulting from the prepayment by Neodata, KEMET Electronics and Carr-Gottstein of subordinated notes which were held by the Fund. During 1994, the Fund realized gains, including applicable prepayment premiums, resulting from the prepayment by Huntington and Amity of subordinated notes that were held by the Fund and the sale of a portion of the KEMET common stock that was held by the Fund. The Fund also recognized a substantial realized loss as a result of MTI's financial restructuring which occurred during 1994.
The realized gains for 1995 resulted from the following transactions:
On February 28, 1995, the Fund sold 10,547 shares of KEMET common stock. The Fund received $326,324 of sales proceeds, resulting in a realized gain of $318,852.
During April and May 1995, the Fund sold an additional 44,920 shares of KEMET common stock. The Fund received $1,973,532 of sales proceeds, resulting in realized gains of $1,941,692.
On May 17, 1995, Protection One prepaid its $1,083,000 of 12.00% Senior Subordinated Notes that were carried by the Fund at an amortized cost of $997,917. The Fund received $1,137,150 of proceeds, including a prepayment premium, resulting in a realized gain of $139,233.
On July 25, 1995, the Fund sold 9,587 shares of KEMET common stock. The Fund received $646,873 of sales proceeds, resulting in a realized gain of $640,078.
On October 13, 1995, Carr-Gottstein announced that it was offering to purchase approximately 49% of its outstanding shares at a purchase price of $11.00 per share. The day before the offer, the stock was trading at $6.125 per share. The Fund tendered all of its 178,934 shares, of which 89,268 shares were repurchased by the company for a total amount of $981,948. The Fund sold its remaining shares in the open market shortly after the tender offer was completed. The Fund received $468,462 for the remaining 89,666 shares. In total, the Fund realized a gain of $555,708 from the disposition of its Carr-Gottstein stock.
On November 6, 1995, the Fund sold 27,396 shares of KEMET common stock. The Fund received $956,326 of sales proceeds resulting in a realized gain of $946,617.
During November 1995, the Fund sold all of its Protection One common stock. The Fund received $146,589 of sales proceeds resulting in a realized gain of $46,241.
On December 4, 1995, the Fund sold the $3,561,003 of KB Alloys Senior Subordinated Term Notes it held to an unrelated institutional investor at a price of $4,002,044. KB Alloys was paying current interest on these notes at a rate of 13% per annum and, in addition the Fund was accruing a deferred interest component at a rate of 8% per annum. At the date of the sale, the notes had an amortized cost of $3,504,500 and accrued deferred interest totaled $728,027. Thus, the sales price was $230,483 less than the sum of the amortized cost of the notes and the accrued deferral interest. The $230,483 was recorded as an adjustment to interest income.
Net Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments
FCM values the Fund's portfolio investments on a weekly basis utilizing a variety of methods. For securities that are publicly traded and for which market quotations are available, valuations are set by the closing sales, or an average of the closing bid and ask prices, as of the valuation date.
Fair value for securities that are not fully traded in any liquid public markets or that are privately held are determined pursuant to valuation policies and procedures that have been approved by the Independent General Partners and subject to their supervision. There is a range of values that are reasonable for such investments at any particular time. Each such investment is valued initially based upon its original cost to the Fund ("cost method"). The cost method is used until significant developments affecting the portfolio company provide a basis for use of an appraisal valuation. Appraisal valuations are based upon such factors as the portfolio company's earnings, cash flow and net worth, the market prices for similar securities of comparable companies and an assessment of the portfolio company's future financial prospects. In a case of unsuccessful operations, the appraisal may be based upon liquidation value. Appraisal valuations are necessarily subjective. The Fund also may use, when available, third-party transactions in a portfolio company's securities as the basis of valuation ("private market method"). The private market method will be used only with respect to completed transactions or firm offers made by sophisticated, independent investors.
Prior to 1992, the Fund had recorded cumulative net unrealized gain on investments of $458,556. During 1993, the Fund recorded $548,663 of unrealized gain and $802,365 of unrealized loss on investments. In addition, the Fund disposed of investments during 1993 with respect to which the Fund had recorded $656,407 of unrealized gain during prior years. Therefore, at December 31, 1993, the Fund had net unrealized loss on investments of $451,553.
During 1994, the Fund recorded $2,085,990 of unrealized gain and $1,274,817 of unrealized loss on investments. In addition, the Fund disposed of investments during 1994 with respect to which the Fund had recorded $3,545,061 of net unrealized loss during prior years. Therefore, at December 31, 1994, the Fund had net unrealized gain on investments of $3,904,681.
The net decrease in unrealized gain on investments during 1995 and the cumulative net unrealized loss on investments at December 31, 1995, consisted of the following components:
The Neodata stock was written down to a negligible amount at March 31, 1995. The Fund has consistently valued this investment based upon a multiple of Neodata's cash flow. Because Neodata's long-term debt presently provides for the accrual, rather than current payment, of interest, the Company's debt has grown to a level which now exceeds the Fund's valuation.
KEMET completed an IPO of its common stock on October 21, 1992. KEMET also declared a two-for-one stock split effective September 20, 1995. The stock, which trades on the NASDAQ National Market System, closed at $24.00 (an average of the closing bid and ask prices) on December 31, 1995. This price is up from the closing price (as restated for the two-for-one stock split) of $14.6875 on December 31, 1994. Based on the $24.00 closing trading price of the common stock, the 27,944 shares of common stock that the Fund held at December 31, 1995 had a market value of $670,656.
During December 1995, Huntington entered into a letter of intent, under the terms of which all Huntington stock would be sold for cash. The sale was consummated during February 1996. The Fund's share of the actual sales proceeds totaled $1,511,364, of which $1,320,711 was received during February 1996. The balance is being held in escrow to fund various transaction expenses and potential contingent purchase price adjustments, and as collateral for potential claims of the buyer with respect to representations made by the selling shareholders, including the Fund. While the escrow amount must be maintained for a two year period, certain of the sellers' representations will survive for longer periods of time, which could result in the Fund being required to reimburse the purchaser for certain costs and expenses after the escrow is released. The Fund valued the Huntington warrants at December 31, 1995 at an amount approximately equal to 75% of the ultimate sales proceeds (not including the Fund's share of the escrow) due to the inherent uncertainty that existed at that time as to whether the sale would actually be consummated.
The Amity warrants and common stock were written up in value during 1995 to bring Amity's valuation more in line with the valuation of comparable companies in its industry.
The ENI Holding Corp. preferred stock is being written up in value quarterly to reflect the amount of the cumulative 10% preferential dividend that is accruing with respect to the preferred stock.
The MTI II common stock was written down in value at December 31, 1994 based upon an independent third party valuation of the company which was obtained by MTI's management.
LMC has experienced significant operating difficulties since the Fund acquired its LMC investment during 1994. LMC's majority owner has taken a number of steps to improve LMC's operating and financial performance. These steps included hiring new senior management and significantly reducing staff. The majority owner has also contributed a significant amount of additional capital. However, it is anticipated that it will take some time for the company to regain its previous market position and return to profitability.
During 1995, the majority owner requested that the Fund convert its subordinated debt and warrants to preferred stock and make a follow-on investment of $545,454 in order to help fund new product development. The Fund agreed to the proposed restructuring, which was consummated during February 1996. As a result of the restructuring, the Fund increased its ownership percentage from approximately 13% to approximately 27%. Due to LMC's operational difficulties and the fact that the Fund will now own equity securities rather than debt securities, the Fund wrote its LMC investment down by $540,800 during November 1995.
Canadian's is a women's specialty retailer, which had 53 stores on the East Coast, including stores in the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas. As widely reported in the business press, retailers almost universally experienced extremely disappointing sales during the 1995 holiday season. Women's specialty retailers were especially hard hit. This situation was exacerbated by severe winter weather which hampered store operations from Boston to Washington, D.C. As a result, a number of apparel retailers have filed for bankruptcy.
Canadian's did not escape the retailing downturn and experienced significant operating problems. These problems culminated in Canadian's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on February 21, 1996. As discussed in the Fund's previous filings, Canadian's had embarked on a significant cost cutting program during the fall of 1995, which included closing marginal stores and reducing general and administrative costs. However, these measures were not sufficient to offset the negative impact of the unusually bad holiday season. The Fund expects to recover little, if any, of its Canadian's investment. As a result of these developments, the Fund wrote its Canadian's investment down to a negligible amount at December 31, 1995.
FCM continually monitors both the Fund's portfolio companies and the markets, and continually evaluates the decision to hold or sell its traded securities.
Inflation and Changing Prices
Inflation has had no material impact on the operations or financial condition of the Fund from inception through December 31, 1995. However, inflation and changing prices, in addition to other factors, may effect the value and the eventual selling price of the Fund's investments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and changes in net assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 and the selected per unit data and ratios for the five years then ended. These financial statements and per unit data and ratios are the responsibility of the partnership's managing general partner. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and per unit data and ratios 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 and per unit data and ratios 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 securities owned as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 and selected per unit data and ratios referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations, its cash flows and the changes in its net assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, and the selected per unit data and ratios for the five years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2, the financial statements include investment securities valued at $12,731,160 at December 31, 1995 (53.9% of net assets) and $19,079,860 at December 31, 1994 (67.3% of net assets) whose values have been estimated by the managing general partner in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the managing general partner's estimate of values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the securities and the differences could be material.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
1. ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE
Fiduciary Capital Partners, L.P. (the "Fund"), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on October 20, 1988 to operate as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund's operations commenced on August 14, 1990.
FCM Fiduciary Capital Management Company ("FCM"), the Managing General Partner of, and the investment adviser to, the Fund, is responsible, subject to the supervision of the Independent General Partners, for overseeing and monitoring the Fund's investments.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in subordinated debt and related equity securities issued as the mezzanine financing of privately structured, friendly leveraged buyouts, leveraged acquisitions and leveraged recapitalizations. These investments are referred to herein as "portfolio investments". Managed companies are those to which significant managerial assistance is offered.
As set forth in the Partnership Agreement, the Fund's investment period ended on December 31, 1995. Although the Fund is permitted to make additional investments in existing portfolio companies, the Fund is no longer permitted to acquire investments in new portfolio companies, except to fund commitments made prior to December 31, 1995. (See Note 13.)
A separate fund, Fiduciary Capital Pension Partners, L.P. ("FCPP"), was also formed on October 20, 1988 for tax-exempt investors with investment objectives, policies and restrictions similar to those of the Fund. While the Fund and FCPP have co-invested in each of the portfolio investments, each fund is accounted for separately. Each fund's participation in the portfolio investments is in proportion to the amount of capital that each fund had available for investment at the time each investment was acquired. Certain expenses are allocated between the funds based on the amount of each fund's total capital. The accompanying financial statements include only the activities of the Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Method The Fund maintains its accounting records, prepares financial statements and files its tax returns using the accrual method of accounting.
Valuation of Investments FCM values the Fund's investments on a weekly basis utilizing a variety of methods. For securities that are publicly traded and for which market quotations are available, valuations are set by the closing sales, or an average of the closing bid and asked prices, as of the valuation date. The Fund discounts these closing market prices between 5% and 20% to reflect lack of liquidity, if the Fund's securities are subject to legal or contractual trading restrictions, or to reflect the potential market impact which could result from the sale of the securities, if the Fund and FCPP combined own a material percentage of the outstanding securities. The amount of the discount varies based upon the type of restriction, the time remaining on the restriction and the size of the holding.
Fair value for securities that are not fully traded in any liquid public markets or that are privately held are determined pursuant to valuation policies and procedures which have been approved by the Independent General Partners and subject to their supervision. There is a range of values that are reasonable for such investments at any particular time. Each such investment is valued initially based
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
upon its original cost to the Fund ("cost method"). Debt securities with attached warrants for the purchase of common stock are initially recorded at a discount from face value equal to the estimated relative value of the warrants at date of investment. The discount is amortized to income as an adjustment to yield from the debt securities. Face value less unamortized discount represents the "amortized cost" of the debt securities.
The cost method is used until significant developments affecting the portfolio company provide a basis for use of an appraisal valuation. Appraisal valuations are based upon such factors as the portfolio company's earnings, cash flow and net worth, the market prices for similar securities of comparable companies and an assessment of the portfolio company's future financial prospects. In a case of unsuccessful operations, the appraisal may be based upon liquidation value. Appraisal valuations are necessarily subjective. The Fund also may use, when available, third-party transactions in a portfolio company's securities as the basis of valuation ("private market method"). The private market method is used only with respect to completed transactions or firm offers made by sophisticated, independent investors.
Temporary investments with maturities of less than 60 days are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under this method, temporary investments are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Fund considers investments in money market funds to be cash equivalents.
Interest Receivable on Notes Notes are placed on non-accrual status in the event of a default (after any applicable grace period expires) or if FCM determines that there is no reasonable expectation of collecting the interest.
Income Taxes No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements because taxes on Fund income are the responsibility of the individual partners rather than the Fund.
Investment Transactions The Fund records portfolio investment transactions on the date on which it obtains an enforceable right to demand the securities or payment thereof and records temporary investment transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the basis of specific identification for both accounting and tax purposes.
3. ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS, LOSSES AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, all income derived from temporary investments will be distributed and allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to FCM. Net investment income will, in general, be distributed and allocated: (i) 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to FCM until the Limited Partners have received a cumulative non-compounded preferred return of 9% per annum on their capital contributions to the Fund, then (ii) 70% to the Limited Partners and 30% to FCM until FCM has received 10% of all current and prior distributions and allocations, and thereafter, (iii) 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to FCM.
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
Proceeds from capital transactions will, in general, be distributed and allocated: (i) 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to FCM until the Limited Partners have received a cumulative, non-compounded preferred return of 9% per annum on their capital contribution to the Fund from net investment income, capital transactions, or both, then (ii) 100% to the Limited Partners until they have received a return of their capital contributions to the Fund, and thereafter, (iii) 80% to the Limited Partners and 20% to FCM.
All cash distributions and earnings since the inception of the Fund have been allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to FCM.
4. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Upon formation of the Fund, FCM contributed $4,000 for its general partner interest in the Fund. Units of limited partnership interest ("Units") were then sold in a public offering. The Fund held three closings between August 14, 1990 and October 18, 1990, receiving gross offering proceeds of $36,102,000. Commissions and other offering costs were charged against proceeds resulting in net capital contributions from Limited Partners of $31,860,015.
5. PERIODIC UNIT REPURCHASE PLAN
The Fund's Limited Partners adopted a periodic unit repurchase plan during 1993. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase policy, the Fund will annually offer to repurchase from its Limited Partners, up to 7.5% of its outstanding Units for an amount equal to the current net asset value per Unit, net of a fee (not to exceed 2%) to be retained by the Fund to offset expenses incurred in connection with the repurchase offer. If the number of tendered Units in any year exceeds 7.5% of the outstanding Units, the Fund's General Partners may vote to repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Units.
Repurchases of Units since the adoption of the plan can be summarized as follows:
6. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES
As compensation for its services as investment adviser, FCM receives a subordinated monthly fee at the annual rate of 1% of the Fund's available capital, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. Investment advisory fees of $228,980, $274,085 and $316,113 were incurred by the Fund for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
7. FUND ADMINISTRATION FEES
As compensation for its services as fund administrator, FCM receives a monthly fee at the annual rate of .45% of net proceeds available for investment, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. Fund administration fees of $143,370 were incurred each year by the Fund during 1995, 1994 and 1993. FCM is also reimbursed, subject to various limitations, for administrative expenses incurred in providing accounting and investor services to the Fund. The Fund reimbursed FCM for administrative expenses of $80,147, $80,269 and $81,695 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
8. INDEPENDENT GENERAL PARTNER FEES AND EXPENSES
As compensation for services rendered to the Fund, each of the Independent General Partners receives from the Fund and FCPP an annual fee of $30,000, payable monthly in arrears, together with all out-of-pocket expenses. Each fund's allocation of these fees and expenses is based on the relative number of outstanding Units. Fees and expenses of $58,015, $57,620 and $55,687 were incurred by the Fund for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
9. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
FCM and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of certain direct expenses paid on behalf of the Fund. Such reimbursable expenses amounted to $172,443, $175,297 and $242,719 during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
10. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS
The Fund's portfolio investments consist primarily of high-yield private placement securities issued as the mezzanine financing of privately structured, friendly leveraged buyouts, leveraged acquisitions and leveraged recapitalizations, and are generally linked with an equity participation. The risk of loss upon default by an issuer is greater than with investment grade securities because high-yield securities are generally unsecured and are usually subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Also, these issuers usually have higher levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions than investment grade issuers. Most of these securities are subject to resale restrictions and generally there is no quoted market for such securities.
Although the Fund cannot eliminate the risks associated with its investments in these high-yield securities, it has established risk management procedures. The Fund subjects each prospective investment to rigorous analysis, and makes only those investments that are recommended by FCM and that meet the Fund's investment guidelines or that have otherwise been approved by the Independent General Partners. The Fund also has procedures in place to continually monitor its portfolio companies.
As of December 31, 1995, the Fund held portfolio investments in nine Managed Companies, with an aggregate cost of approximately $16.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund exercised the Protection One, Inc. warrants it held, acquired a new portfolio investment in R.B.M. Precision Metal Products, Inc. and acquired two follow-on investments in Canadian's Corp. ("Canadian's") at a total cost of approximately $3.2 million.

DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
The Fund's subordinated debt investment in Protection One Alarm Monitoring, Inc. was prepaid during 1995. In addition, the Fund sold its subordinated debt investment in KB Alloys, Inc., all of its Carr-Gottstein Foods Co. and Protection One, Inc. common stock and a portion of its KEMET Corporation common stock during 1995. The Fund received $10,141,691 in proceeds, including applicable prepayment premiums, resulting in aggregate realized gains of $4,588,421.
The Fund has pledged the common stock and warrants it owns in Amity Leather Products Co. ("Amity") as collateral for Amity's corporate debt. None of the Fund's other portfolio investments have been pledged or otherwise encumbered.
11. UNREALIZED GAIN (LOSS) ON INVESTMENTS
As of December 31, 1994, the Fund had recorded net unrealized gain on investments of $3,904,681. During 1995, the Fund recorded $777,782 of unrealized gain and $5,622,311 of unrealized loss on investments. In addition, the Fund disposed of investments during 1995 with respect to which the Fund had recorded $2,335,481 of net unrealized gain during prior years. Therefore, at December 31, 1995, the Fund had net unrealized loss on investments of $3,275,329.
12. NON-ACCRUAL STATUS OF INVESTMENTS

Exchangeable Redeemable Debentures effective April 1, 1995, (ii) the Canadian's Promissory Notes effective October 1, 1995, (iii) the Canadian's Subordinated Notes effective December 1, 1995 and (iv) the LMC Operating Corp. ("LMC") Senior Subordinated Notes effective December 1, 1995.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of December 31, 1995, the Fund had issued commitments to make new portfolio investments in Atlas Environmental, Inc. ("Atlas"), Monaco Finance, Inc. ("Monaco") and Advantage Funding Group, Inc. ("Advantage"). In addition, the Fund had agreed in principle to a restructuring of its LMC investment, which involves a conversion of the Fund's existing subordinated debt and warrants into preferred stock and a follow-on investment in LMC for the purchase of new common stock.
On January 25, 1996, the Fund closed the investment in Atlas, a non-managed company, at a cost of $3,855,398. The investment consists of $3,934,080 of 13.5% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due January 19, 2003, with warrants to acquire 407,659 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $8.00 per share. The Atlas common stock is currently traded over the counter on a limited basis with quotations provided via the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "ATEV".
The proposed Advantage investment was abandoned during January 1996. The portion of the Fund's available capital that had been reserved for this investment is now reserved to fund the Fund's 1996 annual repurchase offer.
FIDUCIARY CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
The Fund may not ultimately fund both of the remaining commitments since each of the commitments is subject to various contingencies.
FCM had been named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit brought in March 1995 against PaineWebber Incorporated and a number of its affiliates concerning the sale of 70 different limited partnerships and other direct investment programs. During May 1995, the Court entered an order certifying the class and dismissing the class action against FCM without prejudice.
During January 1996, PaineWebber signed a memorandum of understanding with the plaintiffs in the class action outlining the terms under which the parties have agreed to settle the case. Pursuant to that memorandum of understanding, PaineWebber irrevocably deposited $125 million into an escrow fund under the supervision of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to be used to resolve the litigation in accordance with a definitive settlement agreement and plan of allocation which the parties expect to submit to the court for its consideration and approval within the next several months. Until a definitive settlement and plan of allocation is approved by the court, there can be no assurance what, if any, payment or non-monetary benefits will be made available to unitholders in the Fund.
FCM believes that this litigation will be resolved without any material adverse effect on the Fund's financial condition.
