YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Due to the fact the partnership has no accounting systems of its own, it is not
directly impacted by any potential Year 2000 issues. Substantially all of the
partnership's financial results, however, are derived from the accounting
systems of Mewbourne Oil Company,("MOC"). MOC has made an assessment of the
impact of the Year 2000 on its financial and operational systems and is in the
process of upgrading its systems to those which the corresponding vendors have
certified are Year 2000 compliant. The cost of these upgrades, which are
estimated to be completed by June 1, 1999, are not expected to be materially
different from the cost of normal upgrades under the software maintenance
contracts MOC has with the software vendors. MOC is also in the process of
communicating with its significant suppliers, larger customers, and partners to
determine the extent to which it may be vulnerable to those third parties'
failure to remedy their Year 2000 issues.
