                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


(1)      GENERAL INFORMATION -

                 The financial statements included herein have been prepared by
         the Partnership and are unaudited.  The financial statements reflect
         adjustments, all of which were of a normal recurring nature, which
         are, in the opinion of the managing general partner necessary for a
         fair presentation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
         normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to
         the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
         ("SEC").  The Partnership believes adequate disclosure is provided by
         the information presented.

(2)      ORGANIZATION AND TERMS OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT -

                 Swift Energy Operating Partners 1995-B, Ltd., a Texas limited
         partnership (the Partnership), was formed on December 14, 1995, for
         the purpose of purchasing and operating producing oil and gas
         properties within the continental United States and Canada.  Swift
         Energy Company ("Swift"), a Texas corporation, and VJM Corporation
         ("VJM"), a California corporation, serve as Managing General Partner
         and Special General Partner of the Partnership, respectively.  The
         sole limited partner of the Partnership is Swift Depositary Company,
         which has assigned all of its beneficial (but not of record) rights
         and interest as limited partner to the investors in the Partnership
         ("Interest Holders"), in the form of Swift Depositary Interests
         ("SDIs").

                 The Managing General Partner has paid or will pay out of its
         own corporate funds (as a capital contribution to the Partnership) all
         selling commissions, offering expenses, printing, legal and accounting
         fees and other formation costs incurred in connection with the
         offering of SDIs and the formation of the Partnership, for which the
         Managing General Partner will receive an interest in continuing costs
         and revenues of the Partnership.  The 178 interest holders made total
         capital contributions of $2,500,000.

                 Generally, all continuing costs (including development costs,
         operating costs, general and administrative reimbursements and direct
         expenses) and revenues are allocated 85 percent to the interest
         holders and 15 percent to the general partners.  After partnership
         payout, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, continuing costs and
         revenues will be shared 75 percent by the interest holders, and 25
         percent by the general partners.

(3)      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -

         USE OF ESTIMATES--

                 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 at the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from estimates.

         OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES --

                 For financial reporting purposes the Partnership follows the
         "full-cost" method of accounting for oil and gas property costs.
         Under this method of accounting, all productive and nonproductive
         costs incurred in the acquisition and development of oil and gas
         reserves are capitalized.  Such costs include lease acquisitions,
         geological and geophysical services, drilling, completion, equipment
         and certain general and administrative costs directly associated with
         acquisition and development activities.  General and administrative
         costs related to production and general overhead are expensed as
         incurred.  No general and administrative costs were capitalized during
         the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.





                                       6

                  SWIFT ENERGY OPERATING PARTNERS 1995-B, LTD.
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                  (UNAUDITED)

                 Future development, site restoration, dismantlement and
         abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are estimated on a
         property-by-property basis based on current economic conditions and
         are amortized to expense as the Partnership's capitalized oil and gas
         property costs are amortized.

                 The unamortized cost of oil and gas properties is limited to
         the "ceiling limitation" (calculated separately for the Partnership,
         limited partners and general partners).  The "ceiling limitation" is
         calculated on a quarterly basis and represents the estimated future
         net revenues from proved properties using current prices, discounted
         at ten percent, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved
         properties.  Proceeds from the sale or disposition of oil and gas
         properties are treated as a reduction of oil and gas property costs
         with no gains or losses being recognized except in significant
         transactions.

                 The Partnership computes the provision for depreciation,
         depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties on the
         units-of-production method.  Under this method, the provision is
         calculated by multiplying the total unamortized cost of oil and gas
         properties, including future development, site restoration,
         dismantlement and abandonment costs, by an overall amortization rate
         that is determined by dividing the physical units of oil and gas
         produced during the period by the total estimated units of proved oil
         and gas reserves at the beginning of the period.

                 The calculation of the "ceiling limitation" and the provision
         for depreciation, depletion and amortization is based on estimates of
         proved reserves.  There are numerous uncertainties inherent in
         estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting the future
         rates of production, timing and plan of development.  The accuracy of
         any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data
         and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment.
         Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of
         the estimate may justify revision of such estimate.  Accordingly,
         reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and
         gas that are ultimately recovered.

(4)      VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS -

                 The Company's revenues are primarily the result of sales of
         its oil and natural gas production.  Market prices of oil and natural
         gas may fluctuate and adversely affect operating results.

                 The Partnership extends credit to various companies in the oil
         and gas industry which results in a concentration of credit risk.
         This concentration of credit risk may be affected by changes in
         economic or other conditions and may accordingly impact the
         Partnership's overall credit risk.  However, the Managing General
         Partner believes that the risk is mitigated by the size, reputation,
         and nature of the companies to which the Partnership extends credit.
         In addition, the Partnership generally does not require collateral or
         other security to support customer receivables.

(5)      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - 

                 The Partnership's financial instruments consist of cash and
         cash equivalents and short-term receivables and payables.  The
         carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the highly liquid
         nature of the short-term instruments.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

      The Partnership was formed for the purpose of investing in producing oil
and gas properties located within the continental United States and Canada.  In
order to accomplish this, the Partnership goes through two distinct yet
overlapping phases with respect to its liquidity and result of operations.
When the Partnership is formed, it commences its "acquisition" phase, with all
funds placed in short-term investments until required for such property
acquisitions.  The interest earned on these pre-acquisition investments becomes
the primary cash flow source for initial Interest Holder distributions.  As the
Partnership acquires producing properties, net cash from operations becomes
available for distribution, along with the investment income.  After
partnership funds have been expended on producing oil and gas properties, the
Partnership enters its "operations" phase.  During this phase, oil and gas
sales generate substantially all revenues, and distributions to Interest
Holders reflect those revenues less all associated partnership expenses.  The
Partnership may also derive proceeds from the sale of acquired oil and gas
properties, when the sale of such properties is economically appropriate or
preferable to continued operation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Partnership does not allow for additional assessments from the
partners or Interest Holders to fund capital requirements.  However, funds are
available from partnership revenues, borrowings or proceeds from the sale of
partnership property.  The Managing General Partner believes that the funds
currently available to the Partnership will be adequate to meet any anticipated
capital requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The Partnership was formed effective December 14, 1995, and accordingly,
there were no operations in the corresponding periods in 1995 to compare with
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.

      During 1996, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
Interest Holders and general partners in an 85:15 ratio.
