REPORT ON REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors

Western Pennsylvania Adventure Capital Fund, LLC

We have reviewed the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Western Pennsylvania Adventure Capital Fund, LLC as of June 30, 2003, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, the statement of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2002 and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 14, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

This summary of significant accounting policies of Western Pennsylvania Adventure Capital Fund, LLC and its predecessor organization, the Western Pennsylvania Adventure Capital Fund, a C Corporation (collectively and/or individually the “Fund”) is presented to assist in understanding the Fund’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform with generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Nature of Operations

The Fund was incorporated on May 23, 1996, as Western Pennsylvania Adventure Capital Fund (a C Corporation) and began its primary business activities in November, 1997. The Fund has been formed to become a Business Development Company (“BDC”) and to be subject to the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund invests primarily in the equity and/or debt securities of development stage companies located in western Pennsylvania. The Fund seeks to make its investments in conjunction with a consortium of investment partners such as individual investors, other venture capital firms, private non-profit or for-profit companies or foundations, and federal, state or local public, quasi-public or publicly-supported economic development organizations, agencies or authorities which provide investment capital or low interest or other financing for economic development.

As of February 28, 2002, the Western Pennsylvania Adventure Capital Fund (a C Corporation) was merged into its wholly owned and heretofore inactive subsidiary, the Western Pennsylvania Adventure Capital Fund, LLC (an LLC organization). The Western Pennsylvania Adventure Capital Fund, LLC has continued all of the operations of the Western Pennsylvania Adventure Capital Fund (a C Corporation).

The Fund’s Board of Directors, which is elected by the members (previously by the shareholders) annually, has responsibility for management of the Fund, including authority to select portfolio securities for investment by the Fund. The Board is advised by the officers of the Fund and, through December 31, 1998, had been advised by The Enterprise Corporation of Pittsburgh (“Enterprise”), which served as the Fund’s investment advisor. Enterprise screened potential Portfolio Companies and presented them to the Fund’s Board for investment consideration, conducted due diligence reviews of investment candidates and managed the day-to-day operations of the Fund including, portfolio management, preparing reports to shareholders and performing administrative services. The recommendations of Enterprise as to investments were advisory only and were not binding on the Fund or its Board of Directors. Enterprise was a private, non-profit consulting firm founded in 1983 for the purpose of assisting entrepreneurs in developing new businesses in western Pennsylvania. As of December 31, 1998, Enterprise ceased operations and is no longer serving as the Fund’s investment advisor. The Fund’s Board of Directors now performs these activities.

11

Table of Contents

Enterprise received a fee equal to 5% of the aggregate amount of assets invested by the Fund in portfolio securities for providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund. Enterprise may also have received compensation from investment partners or members of any investment consortium that invested with the Fund in portfolio securities, all on such basis as such other parties and Enterprise may have agreed.

Basis of Presentation—Interim Financial Statements

The financial information included herein has been prepared from the books and records without audit. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and the footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows, have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the period January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002, contained in the Fund’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Basis of Presentation—Net Assets

During 1996, the Fund began offering a total of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.01, at a price of $1.00 per share under Regulation E of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “First Offering”). In connection with its services in organizing the formation and development of the Fund, Enterprise purchased 250,000 shares of common stock for $.01 per share, which represented 4.8% of the total potential outstanding shares of the Fund. The shares purchased by Enterprise represented founder’s shares. If less than 5,000,000 shares were sold in the First Offering, the Fund had the right to repurchase from Enterprise for $.01 per share such number of shares as would result in Enterprise’s ownership percentage in the Fund immediately following the First Offering being 4.8%.

During 1997, the Fund sold 2,104,333 shares of its common stock and closed the First Offering. As of December 31, 1997, the Fund repurchased 143,899 shares of its common stock from Enterprise, thereby reducing Enterprise’s ownership to 106,101 shares, which represented 4.8% of the then total shares issued and outstanding (2,210,434 shares). The repurchased shares are presented as Treasury Stock, at cost.

On September 10, 1999, the Fund began offering a total of 2,750,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.01, at a price of $1.45 per share under Regulation E of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Second Offering”). The Second Offering was extended through January 31, 2000. The Fund sold 2,057,787 shares of its common stock and closed the Second Offering.

Table of Contents

On July 14, 2000, the Fund began offering a total of 875,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01, at a price of $1.60 per share under Regulation E of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Third Offering”). The Third Offering was extended through March 31, 2001. The Fund sold 62,750 shares of its common stock and closed the Third Offering.

Syndication Costs

Legal, accounting and other costs of $149,220 incurred in connection with the Fund’s First Offering, Second Offering and Third Offering have been capitalized and reported as a permanent reduction of net assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

There were no syndication costs incurred in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of cash in checking accounts and high quality money market instruments having or deemed to have remaining maturities of thirteen months or less.

Short Term Investments

The Fund’s short term investments consist of high quality commercial paper and U.S. Government securities. These investments generally are purchased at a discount or premium from face value and are redeemed at maturity at face value. The difference represents interest income (expense) which will accrue over the period from date of acquisition to date of maturity. The Fund uses the effective yield to maturity method to recognize the accretion of interest income (expense) over the life of each individual short term investment. This method produces a rate of return which is constant over the period from acquisition to maturity. Using this method, the interest income (expense) recognized on each individual investment will increase over time as the carrying value of that investment increases (decreases). The Fund records these investments net of remaining unearned interest income (expense).

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” the Fund classifies all short term investments as held-to-maturity (“HTM”).

Investments in Portfolio Companies

Investments are stated at value. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last trade price on or within one local business day of the date of determination as obtained from a pricing source. If no such trade price is available, such investments are valued at the quoted bid price or the mean between the quoted bid and asked price on the date of determination as obtained from a pricing source. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value in good faith using methods determined by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors.

Start-Up and Organization Costs

Costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Fund had been deferred and were being amortized ratably over a period of 60 months beginning January 1, 1998. During the three month period ended June 30, 2002, the Fund, as a result of the recent merger (See Note 2), wrote off the remaining balance of $2,280 of deferred Start-Up and Organization Costs. Amortization on the $760 was recognized in the three month period ending March 31, 2002.

Earnings Per Unit

During 1997, the Fund adopted SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Its application is not expected to affect the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per unit.

Earnings per share/unit is computed using the weighted average number of shares/units outstanding during the respective periods, adjusted for outstanding stock options, if any. There are no other outstanding warrants, or other contingently issuable shares/units.

The Fund’s shareholders, at the annual meeting of shareholders held on November 17, 1999, approved a stock option plan which authorizes the granting of options to purchase the Fund’s common stock to directors, officers, employees, and members of the advisory board of the Fund. Options to purchase 250,000 shares of the Fund’s common stock have been granted to directors of the Fund under the terms of this stock option plan.

On December 20, 2001, all of the directors returned their options to the Fund. The Fund may grant options to the directors at a future date.

The stock option committee on July 12, 2002, granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of its members’ equity at an exercise price equal to the net asset value per unit as of June 30, 2002 to each of the Fund’s five directors (250,000 units in the aggregate). These options vest immediately. The net asset value per unit as of June 30, 2002 was $0.84 per unit. At June 30, 2003 and at December 31, 2002, none of the options had been exercised or had expired.

Income Taxes

The Fund has adopted the SFAS Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, from its inception. SFAS 109 requires an asset and liability approach that recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Fund’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, SFAS 109 generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates. During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Fund recognized unrealized appreciation on its portfolio companies, and accordingly, began recognizing deferred taxes due to temporary timing differences in accordance with SFAS 109. Deferred taxes of $39,960 recognized during the three month period ended March 31, 2002 relate to the partial reversal of the deferred tax asset recorded at December 31,2001, which will not be realized as a result of the merger discussed in Note 2. There were no deferred taxes recognized during the three month period ended June 30, 2002. There were no deferred taxes recognized during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003.

The Fund, as a result of becoming an LLC as of February 28, 2002, is treated as a “pass through” entity for income tax purposes. Any income tax liabilities incurred by the Fund are allocated to members of the Fund annually for inclusion in the members’ individual income tax returns. The Fund remains responsible for any Pennsylvania Capital Stock and Franchise Tax.

Note 2—Merger

As of February 28, 2002, the Fund converted from the C Corporation to an LLC Organization via merger of the C Corporation into its wholly owned and previously inactive subsidiary—an LLC Organization. As a consequence, the LLC assumed all assets and liabilities of the C Corporation and is continuing all operations of the C Corporation.

Shareholders of the C Corporation have become members of the LLC, and hold the same number of ownership units in the LLC equal to the number of shares that they held in the C Corporation, with no change in ownership percentage of the respective organizations.

Note 3—Sale of Securities

During 1997, the Fund sold 2,104,333 shares of its common stock at $1.00 per share, under an Offering Circular dated November 7, 1996 (“First Offering Circular”). The proceeds were required to be deposited in an escrow account with the Fund’s escrow agent, PNC Bank, until such time as the escrow account reached $1 million. At that time, the Fund was permitted to withdraw the funds from the escrow account and begin to invest in portfolio securities.

As of July 11, 1997, the proceeds in the escrow account totaled $1,860,100. On that date, the Fund withdrew substantially all of the funds from the escrow account.

Note 5—Co-Investor Agreement

On June 30, 1998, the Fund and the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (“URA”) entered into a co-investment agreement (“Agreement”). Under the terms of this Agreement, the URA will create an escrow account of $1,000,000 to be used for direct investment in certain select Fund’s Portfolio Companies, located within the City of Pittsburgh and meeting other criteria established by the URA. The escrow account also will be used for payment of the Fund’s investment and management fees related to such investments. The URA will match, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Fund’s investment in Portfolio Companies, subject to the limitations of the Portfolio Companies’ location within the City of Pittsburgh and such companies meeting the URA’s criteria for funding.

The annual management fee payable to the Fund is $25,000. Further, the URA will pay the Fund’s investment advisor a transaction fee of five percent (5%) of the URA’s portion of its investment. All fees will be paid from the escrow account.

In addition, the URA, as part of the Agreement, has agreed to subordinate its rights to any return on its investment until the private equity participants, investing in each of the contemplated transactions, including the Fund, have recovered their original investments in the portfolio companies. Thereafter, the URA and all equity participants, including the Fund, will participate in all future distributions in accordance with their investment.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2001, the URA notified the fund of its decision to terminate the Agreement, effective as of July 31, 2001. Through June 30, 2001, the URA had invested a total of $100,000, on its dollar-for-dollar matching basis in one portfolio company.

Note 6—Short Term Investments

The Fund, pending investments in Portfolio Securities, temporarily invests its excess funds in short term high quality commercial paper and U.S. Government securities. These investments generally are purchased at a discount or premium from face value and are redeemed at maturity at face value. The discount/premium from face value represents unearned interest income/expense and is recognized over the remaining term of the security using the effective yield to maturity method. All of the short term investments are classified as HTM in accordance with SFAS No. 115. The Fund did not hold any HTM investments at June 30, 2003 and at December 31, 2002.

The maximum number of options that may be granted under the plan is 500,000. The exercise price is determined by the stock option committee at the time the option is granted, but cannot be less than the fair market value of the Fund’s common stock on the date of grant. Each option will have a term, not in excess of 10 years, as determined by the stock option committee.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Revenues for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2003 included interest income of $4,023 and $8,372, respectively, and a realized loss of $111,309. Revenues for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2002 amounted to $8,183 and $21,792, respectively. Interest income for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2002 was $8,183 and $15,425, respectively. The decline in interest income reflects both lower interest rates and a reduction in short term investments due to additional investments in portfolio companies. The realized gains ($6,367), recognized in the three month period ending March 31, 2002, resulted from the receipt of funds released from the escrow account created from the acquisition of Applied Electro-Optics Corporation, a portfolio company, by AcceLight Networks, Inc. Revenues for the three month and six month periods ending June 30, 2001 amounted to $16,205 and $237,715, respectively. The realized loss ($111,309) recognized in the three month period ending June 30, 2003, resulted from the sale of 18,376 shares of Sonic Foundry, Inc. Common Stock. These shares had been received by the Fund upon the acquisition of Media Site, one of the Fund’s portfolio companies, by Sonic Foundry, Inc. The Fund’s investment in Media Site was $128,748.33, and the proceeds of sale of Sonic Foundry, Inc. Common Stock was $17,438.90, resulting in a realized loss of $111,309.43.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2003 amounted to $4,500 and $9,000, respectively, and consisted of directors fees. These amounts are the same as the comparable periods of 2002. Other operating expenses for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2003 amounted to $30,111 and $50,833, respectively. Other operating expenses for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2002 amounted to $15,511 and $68,530, respectively Professional fees for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2003, amounted to $21,113 and $30,394, respectively, compared with $2,123 and $34,051 respectively, for the comparable periods of 2002. The remaining other operating expenses consist primarily of administrative, clerical/secretarial and other related expenses, and amounted to $20,439 and $34,479, respectively, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002. The decline results from a lower level of Fund activity during the six months ending June 30, 2003.

The income tax expense for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2002 amounted to $41,600 primarily due to the elimination of the previously recognized deferred tax asset partially offset by the current recognition of a probable tax refund from a net operating loss carry back.
