     NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Organization

          The C&K 1980 Fund-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Texas Limited
     Partnership, was organized on January 29, 1980, to acquire, explore,
     develop and operate onshore oil and gas properties in the United States and
     commenced operations on October 15, 1980.  Total initial Limited Partner
     contributions were $6,050,000 including $100,000 contributed by C&K
     Petroleum, Inc. ("C&K"), the initial General Partner.  On August 25, 1981,
     C&K requested the Limited Partners to pay an additional assessment of
     $1,512,500, or 25% of their initial contributions.  Of this amount, C&K
     paid $157,500 for thirty-two Limited Partners who declined to pay their
     share of the additional assessments.

          C&K, after several corporate reorganizations beginning in September of
     1984 and ending in December of 1991, was acquired by Ultramar Oil and Gas
     Limited ( UOGL ), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of LASMO plc. 
     Effective November 18, 1992, UOGL was sold to Williams-Cody Limited
     Liability Company, ( WCLLC ), a Wyoming limited liability company owned by
     Williams Gas Management Company ("WGMan") and Cody Resources, Inc.
     ("CRI").  On January 1, 1993, UOGL changed its name to Williams-Cody, Inc.
     ("Williams-Cody").

           Effective May 1, 1993, Cody Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of
     The Gates Corporation, purchased the units of WCLLC owned by WGMan.  As a
     result of this acquisition, the unit holders of WCLLC are Cody Company and
     its wholly owned subsidiary, Cody Resources, Inc.  Subsequently, effective
     May 15, 1993, the name of Williams-Cody, Inc. was changed to CODY ENERGY,
     INC. ("CODY"), and the name of Williams-Cody Limited Liability Company was
     changed to Gates-Cody Energy Company ("GCEC"), a Limited Liability
     Company.  CODY is the surviving corporation and, pursuant to the authority
     provided in the Partnership Agreement, manages and controls the
     Partnership's affairs and is responsible for the activities of the
     Partnership.

       Basis of Accounting

          The accounts of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis in
     accordance with accounting practices permitted for federal income tax
     reporting purposes.  In order to present the accompanying financial
     statements on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles for
     financial reporting purposes, adjustments have been made to account for oil
     and gas properties under the full cost method of accounting.

       Oil and Gas Properties

          The Partnership uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and
     gas properties in accordance with rules prescribed by the Securities and
     Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Under this method, all costs incurred in
     connection with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves
     are capitalized.  Such capitalized costs include lease acquisition,
     geological and geophysical work, delay rentals, drilling, completing and
     equipping oil and gas wells and other related costs together with costs
     applicable to CODY's technical personnel directly engaged in evaluating and
     maintaining oil and gas prospects and drilling oil and gas wells. 
     Maintenance and repairs are charged against income when incurred.  Renewals
     and betterments which extend the useful life of properties are capitalized.

          The capitalized costs of all oil and gas properties are depleted on a
     composite units-of-revenue method computed on a future gross revenue
     basis.  An additional depletion provision is made if the total capitalized
     costs of oil and gas properties exceed the "capitalization ceiling"
     which is calculated as the present value of future net revenues for
     estimated production of the Partnership's proved oil and gas reserves as
     furnished by independent petroleum engineers.

          Future gross revenues have been estimated using rules prescribed by
     the SEC.  Under these rules, year-end prices are utilized in determining
     future gross revenues.

       Net Income (Loss) per Limited Partnership Unit

          Net income (loss) per limited partnership unit is computed by
     obtaining the Limited Partners  net income (loss) (see Statements of
     Changes in Partners' Capital) and dividing by the total limited partnership
     units outstanding.

       Contributions and Distributions

          Contributions by the General Partner, as presented in the Statements
     of Changes in Partners' Capital, represent amounts paid by the General
     Partner for its allocated share of the Partnership's costs and expenses. 
     Distributions to the General Partner represent amounts collected by the
     General Partner for its allocated share of the Partnership's revenues. 
     Distributions to Limited Partners represent periodic payments of available
     cash, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
     Agreement.

       Receivable from the General Partner

          The receivable from the General Partner consists of the Limited
     Partners' share of proceeds from the sales of the Partnership's crude oil
     and natural gas, net of related operating and general and administrative
     expenses.  The General Partner acts as the collection agent for the
     Partnership's receivables and remits sales revenues collected in the period
     received.  The Partnership has no recourse against the General Partner for
     amounts deemed uncollectible.

       Revenue Recognition

          The Partnership recognizes oil and gas revenues for only its ownership
     percentage of total production under the entitlement method.  Purchase,
     sale and transportation of natural gas and crude oil are recognized upon
     completion of the sale and when transported volumes are delivered.

       Concentration of Credit Risk

          Financial instruments which subject the Partnership to concentrations
     of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables.  The Partnership s
     policy is to evaluate, prior to entering agreements, each purchaser s
     financial condition.  The Partnership sells to purchasers with different
     geographic and economic characteristics.  Trade receivables, which are
     generally uncollateralized, are from oil and gas companies located
     throughout the United States.

       Use of Estimates

          The preparation of the Partnership s financial statements in
     conformity with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily
     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 balance sheet dates and the reported amounts
     of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results
     could differ from those estimates.

       Reclassifications

          Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to be
     consistent with the financial statements presentation for 1996.  Such
     reclassifications had no effect on net income.


     NOTE 2 - GAS CONTRACT

          Since June 1, 1993, Williams Gas Marketing has purchased all of the 
     Partnership's natural gas production under an agreement that calls for
     market responsive prices which are tied to a published index.  The
     Partnership remains responsible for all costs related to production,
     gathering, processing or severance of the gas prior to Delivery Point. 
     These costs have been recorded as marketing deductions in the financial
     statements.


     NOTE 3 - ALLOCATION OF PARTNERSHIP REVENUES, COSTS AND EXPENSES

          The Partnership Agreement provides that revenues, costs and expenses
     shall be allocated to the partners as follows:

                                                        Limited        General
                                                        Partners       Partner

         The depreciation, depletion and amortization provision is calculated
     based on discrete calculations utilizing the Partnership's and the
     partners' share of the related capital costs and estimated future net
     revenues.  For financial statement purposes, each partner's depreciation,
     depletion and amortization provision has been increased by the amount that
     his share of unamortized costs exceeded the capitalization ceiling.  At
     June 30, 1996 and 1995, the net capitalized costs of the Partnership s oil
     and gas properties did not exceed the capitalization ceiling.

         The combining adjustment included in the partners  capital of $807,806
     and $930,420 at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, represents the
     difference resulting from computing the full cost ceiling test in prior
     years on the total partnership basis, which is used for financial reporting
     purposes, and the limited partners and general partner basis.  The
     adjustment is an allocation of partners  capital and does not affect net
     income.


     NOTE 4 - PURCHASE OF LIMITED PARTNERS' INTERESTS

         The Limited Partners may require the General Partner to purchase up to
     ten percent of their interests annually.  The purchase price is based on
     the Limited Partners' proportionate share of the sum of (i) two-thirds of
     the present worth of estimated future net revenues discounted at the prime
     rate in effect on the applicable valuation date plus one percent, (ii) the
     present value of the estimated salvage value of all production facilities
     and tangible assets, and (iii) the net book value of all other assets and
     liabilities.

         In addition to the 20 units purchased by the General Partner for its
     initial capital contribution, a total of 733.66 units had been purchased
     from Limited Partners as of December 31, 1995.  At January 1, 1996, the
     General Partner calculated a purchase price of $1,552.25 per unit for
     Limited Partners who paid the additional assessment ( assessed Limited
     Partners ) and $1,241.80 per unit for Limited Partners who had not paid the
     additional assessment ( nonassessed Limited Partners ).  Within the
     prescribed tender period, which ended June 30, 1996, eighteen Limited
     Partners tendered 38.66667 assessed units and no unassessed units for a
     total repurchase amount of $60,020.34.


     NOTE 5 - SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

         The General Partner is reimbursed for administrative and overhead costs
     incurred in conducting the business of the Partnership.  Such
     reimbursements have been the maximum allowed under the terms of the
     Partnership Agreement and were $90,750 for each six month period ended June
     30, 1996 and 1995.

         The Partnership distributes to each Limited Partner his proportionate
     share of cash funds credited to his capital account which is in excess of
     the amounts necessary to meet such partners share of existing or future
     obligations of the Partnership.  No distributions were made to the Limited
     Partners for the six month period ended June 30, 1995; however, $200,000
     was distributed to the Limited Partners in May of 1996.  During the first
     six months of 1996 and 1995, the Partnership distributed $439,626 and
     $341,654, respectively, to the General Partner for its allocated share of
     net revenues, and the General Partner contributed $133,697 and $130,120,
     respectively, for its allocated share of costs and expenses.


     NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

         Income taxes are not levied at the Partnership level, but rather on the
     individual partners; therefore, no provision for liability for federal and
     state income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying financial
     statements.  The tax returns, the qualification of the Partnership as a
     partnership for tax purposes and the amount of the Partnership's income or
     loss is subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.  If
     such examinations result in changes with respect to the Partnership's
     qualifications or in changes in the Partnership's income or loss, the tax
     liability of the partners could be changed accordingly.


     NOTE 7 - CONTINGENCIES

         The General Partner is currently considering either transferring its
     limited partner and general partnership interests in the Partnership,
     withdrawing as general partner of the Partnership, or taking other actions
     to reduce its responsibilities in the Partnership, which could lead to the
     ultimate dissolution of the Partnership.  This condition raises substantial
     doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern.  As
     long as CODY remains the General Partner of the Partnership, GCEC intends
     to, if necessary, advance the funds required by the Partnership in excess
     of those generated by operations through CODY.  The accompanying financial
     statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
     outcome of this uncertainty.



                                C&K 1980 FUND-B, LTD.

     Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June
     30, 1996 was $617,695, compared to $277,357 for the corresponding period in
     1995.  This increase resulted primarily from increased oil and gas revenues
     and a decrease in the receivable from the General Partner.

         Capital expenditures during the first six months of 1996 were $113,421,
     primarily attributable to the drilling of the C. Montalvo well in the
     Mestena Grande Field in Jim Hogg County, Texas.  Capital expenditures
     during the same period in 1995 were $52,809, primarily attributable to the
     drilling of one well, which was unsuccessful.  The Partnership has no
     immediate plans for additional exploratory or developmental capital
     programs, except those necessary to maintain well productivity for 1996.

         During the first six months of 1996 and 1995, the Partnership
     distributed $439,626 and $341,654, respectively, to the General Partner for
     their share of net revenues.  During these same periods, the General
     Partner's contribution (allocated share of costs and expenses incurred) was
     $133,697 and $130,120, respectively.  A cash distribution of $200,000 was
     made to the Limited Partners in May, 1996.  The Limited Partners did not
     receive a cash distribution during the first half of 1995.

         The Partnership's financing requirements for operating expenses and
     development capital are currently provided by revenues from its producing
     operations.  The Partnership does not consider long-term financing
     arrangements, either with the General Partner or other sources, as
     necessary at this time.

         The Partnership cannot predict with any degree of certainty the prices
     it will receive in the remainder of 1996 or in future years for its crude
     oil and natural gas.  The Partnership s financial condition, operating
     results and liquidity will continue to be materially affected by any
     significant fluctuations in sales prices.  The Partnership's ability to
     internally generate funds for capital expenditures will be similarly
     affected.


     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 1995

         Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $211,705, an
     increase of $143,664 or 211% from net income of $68,041 reported for the
     same period in 1995.  This increase resulted primarily from increases in
     natural gas production and sales prices for crude oil, natural gas and
     plant products.  The completion of the C. Montalvo well, which had first
     production in March, 1996 contributed significantly to the increase in
     natural gas production.

         Crude oil and natural gas sales for the three months ended June 30,
     1996 of $596,155 increased $121,258 or 26% compared to the same period in
     1995.  Crude oil production was 48 barrels per day, natural gas production
     was 1,839 mcf per day, and plant products were 854 equivalent mcf per day
     during this period, compared to the 1995 level of 55 barrels, 1,605 mcf,
     and 1,308 equivalent mcf per day, respectively.  In the second quarter of
     1996, average sales prices increased for crude oil to $20.79 per barrel,
     for natural gas to $2.02 per mcf, and for plant products to $2.16 per
     equivalent mcf, compared to $18.49 per barrel, $1.49 per mcf and $1.39 per
     equivalent mcf, respectively, in 1995.  Interest income decreased $3,043 or
     59% in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the corresponding period in
     1995 due to a reduction in cash available for investment subsequent to a
     third quarter 1995 cash distribution to the Limited Partners.

         Lease operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996
     decreased $64,882 or 49% compared to the same period in 1995.  During the
     second quarter of 1995, ad valorem tax accruals were adjusted to cover
     expected property tax increases for the first six months of 1995.  Property
     taxes for 1996 were expected to be below 1995 levels.  Production tax
     expense for the second quarter of 1996 increased by $11,348 or 41% compared
     to the second quarter of 1995, due primarily to the increase in oil and gas
     revenues in 1996.  Marketing deductions were $39,023 for the three months
     ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of $29,113 or 43% compared to the same
     period in 1995.  The Partnership s transportation and marketing costs
     decreased in 1996 due to a favorable change in gathering and transportation
     rates provided by a new transporter, effective February 1, 1996. 
     Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased by $56,214 or
     41% in 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 as a result of the
     increased production in 1996.  General and administrative expenses for the
     three months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $984 or 2% compared to the
     same period in 1995.


      Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

         Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $328,081, an
     increase of $159,403 or 95% from net income of $168,678 reported for the
     same period in 1995.  This increase resulted mainly from increases in sales
     prices for crude oil, natural gas and plant products.

         Crude oil and natural gas revenue for the six months ended June 30,
     1996 was $1,035,917, an increase of $178,557 or 21% compared to the same
     period in 1995.  Although sales prices increased for all products, declines
     in production offset these increases.  Crude oil production was 53 barrels
     per day, natural gas production was 1,526 mcf per day and plant products
     were 767 equivalent mcf per day during this period as compared to the 1995
     level of 57 barrels, 1,580 mcf, and 904 equivalent mcf per day,
     respectively, during this period.  During the first half of 1996, the
     average sales prices increased for crude oil to $19.33 per barrel, for
     natural gas to $2.09 per mcf, and for plant products to $1.92 per
     equivalent mcf, compared to $17.90 per barrel, $1.43 per mcf, and $1.62 per
     equivalent mcf for plant products, respectively, in 1995.  Interest income
     decreased $3,624 or 46% in 1996 due to a reduction in cash available for
     investment subsequent to a third quarter 1995 cash distribution to the
     Limited Partners.

         Lease operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996
     decreased $35,112 or 21%, compared to the same period in 1995.  This
     decrease is primarily due to an expected decrease in ad valorem taxes for
     1996, offset slightly by additional operating expenses incurred with the
     completion of the C. Montalvo well.  Production taxes for the first half of
     1996 increased $15,809 or 32% compared to the first half of 1995, due
     primarily to the increase in oil and gas revenues in 1996.  Marketing
     deductions were $91,318 for the six months ending June 30, 1996, a decrease
     of $33,272 or 27% compared to the same period in 1995.  The Partnership's
     transportation and marketing costs decreased in 1996 due to a favorable
     change in gathering and transportation rates provided by a new transporter,
     effective February 1, 1996.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization
     expense increased by $84,062 or 34% compared to 1995 as a result of
     increased revenue in 1996.  General and administrative expenses for the six
     months ended June 30, 1996 decreased $15,957 or 15% compared to the same
     period in 1995, due primarily to a reduction in auditing and tax charges.
