     This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement (the "Schedule 13E-3") is being filed
by Swift Energy Company,  a Texas corporation  ("Swift" or the "Managing General
Partner"), pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange  Act"),  and Rule 13e-3  thereunder in connection with
the  solicitation  by the Managing  General  Partner of proxies from the limited
partners of Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets  Partnership  1991-A,  Ltd. (the
"Partnership").  The purpose of the proxy solicitation is to obtain the approval
of the  limited  partners  of the  Partnership  to sell  all of its  assets  and
liquidate the Partnership. The Managing General Partner may purchase some of the
Property  Interests of the Partnership at auction if the minimum price set by an
independent  appraisal  is  not  bid  by a  third  party  at  the  auction.  The
Partnership  filed a preliminary  proxy  statement  (the "Proxy  Statement")  on
Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") in accordance
with  Regulation 14A on May 27, 1997 and Amendment No. 1 to the Proxy  Statement

contained in the Proxy Statement,  including all exhibits thereto,  is expressly

Proxy Statement and the exhibits thereto.  The Partnership  anticipates filing a
definitive  Proxy  Statement with the SEC  contemporaneously  with the filing of
this Schedule 13E-3 in final form.

     The filing of this  Schedule  13E-3 shall not be deemed an  admission  that
Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13e-3 thereunder are applicable to the
solicitation that is the subject of the Proxy Statement. Each of the Partnership
and the Managing General Partner expressly  disclaim that the sale of the assets
and the subsequent liquidation of the Partnership under the terms and conditions
set forth in the Proxy Statement constitutes a "sale of substantially all of the
assets of an issuer to its affiliate or group of affiliates"  within the meaning
of Rule 13e-3.
