                                     (Unaudited)

     NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Management Representation

        These financial statements should be read in the context of the
     financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission in the Partnership's 1994 annual report on Form 10-K.
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
     statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
     items, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the C&K 1981
     Fund-A, Ltd. at September 30, 1995, the results of operations for the three
     and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the partners'
     capital (deficit) and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30,
     1995 and 1994.  The results of operations for the three months and nine
     months ended September 30, 1995 should not necessarily be taken as
     indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire
     year 1995.

      Organization

        The C&K 1981 Fund-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Texas Limited
     Partnership, was organized on December 16, 1980, to acquire, explore,
     develop and operate onshore oil and gas properties in the United States and
     commenced operations on May 12, 1981.  Total initial Limited Partner
     contributions were $8,255,000 including $100,000 contributed by C&K
     Petroleum, Inc. ("C&K"), the initial General Partner.  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, a Wyoming limited liability company ("WCLLC"), 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 Williams Gas
     Management Company.  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.
     has been changed to CODY ENERGY, INC. ("CODY"), and the name of Williams-
     Cody Limited Liability Company has been 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.

        CODY is currently considering either transferring its limited partner
     and general partner interest 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.  GCEC intends to, if necessary, advance
     funds required by the Partnership in excess of those generated by
     operations through CODY.

      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
     from 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.

        The capitalization ceiling is computed for the first three quarters of
     the year by (i) adjusting the previous year-end present value of future net
     revenues for the accretion of the discount, production, and revisions to
     reserve estimates, if any, and (ii) revising the resultant valuation of
     future net revenues to incorporate prices and volumes at the financial
     statement date.

      Contributions and Distributions

        Contributions by the General Partner, as presented in the Statement of
     Partners' Capital (Deficit), 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.

      Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit

        Net income per Limited Partnership unit is computed by obtaining the
     Limited Partners net income (see Statement of Partners' Capital) and
     dividing by the total Limited Partnership units outstanding.

      Payable to the General Partner

        The Partnership's payable to the General Partner is the Limited
     Partners' obligation for their share of costs, arising from partnership
     operations, which are funded entirely by the General Partner.  The current
     portion of the liability is the amount estimated to be collectible from the
     Limited Partners' net operating revenues over the current operating cycle
     (one year).

     NOTE 2 - GAS CONTRACT

        Effective January 1, 1993, under a gas purchase agreement ("agreement"),
     WGMan began purchasing all of the Partnership's natural gas production. 
     The agreement is for five years and calls for a market responsive price
     which is tied to a published index.  WGMan is paid an administrative fee of
     $.04 per MMBtu of gas purchased as compensation for administration and
     marketing of gas.  WGMan also is responsible for the administration of the 
     third party gas contracts as outlined in the agreement; however, 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:

</TABLE>

        The depletion 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 depletion provision has been increased by the amount that
     its share of unamortized costs exceeded its capitalization ceiling.  The
     difference between depletion applicable to the partners and the total
     applicable to the Partnership is shown as a combining adjustment in the
     Statement of Partners' Capital (Deficit) for the each of the nine months
     ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  During the nine months ended September
     30, 1995 and 1994, the net capitalized costs of the Partnership's oil and
     gas properties did not exceed the capitalized ceiling. 

     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 using a discount rate
     equal to 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.  At January 1, 1995, the General Partner
     calculated a purchase price of $(16.46) per Limited Partner unit;
     therefore, no offer to purchase the interest was made.

     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 during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
     1994.

        After such time as total contributions from the Limited Partners have
     been expended, the General Partner may advance funds to the Limited
     Partners for their share of costs and expenses for continuing operations. 
     Interest was charged to the Limited Partners on such advances at a rate
     which approximated 8.2% and 7.6% during the nine months ended September 30,
     1995 and 1994, respectively.  The General Partner is reimbursed for funds
     advanced to the Limited Partners from revenues otherwise allocable to the
     Limited Partners.

     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 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.

        Income tax deductions are allocated according to the manner in which the
     related costs were allocated.  The Tax Reform Act of 1976 provides that
     income tax deductions for depletion must be computed by each partner
     rather than by the Partnership.  Accordingly, the income tax returns of the
     Partnership will not include deductions for depletion since such amounts
     are not Partnership deductions.

        Under the passive loss rules of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 certain
     limitations on the deductibility of losses attributable to an investment in
     the Partnership apply to the Limited Partners which are individuals,
     estates, trusts, closely held corporations and any personal service
     corporations.  In general, losses from activities in which an investor does
     not materially participate (characterized as passive activities), such as a
     Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership, are only deductible to the
     extent of income from such passive activities.

     NOTE 7 - CONTINGENCY

        The Partnership has a working capital deficiency and a net capital
     deficiency.  As a result of the deficit capital position of the Limited
     Partners' interests, all net cash flows attributable to the Limited
     Partners' share of the Partnership's operations are presently applied
     entirely against its indebtedness for past funds advanced by the General
     Partner and are not available to fund Partnership needs.  Funds required by
     the Partnership in excess of those generated by operations will be advanced
     by the General Partner.  The General Partner is currently considering
     either transferring its limited partner and general partner interests in 
     the Partnership, or 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.  These
     conditions raise 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 continue advancing 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.

     NOTE 8 - RECLASSIFICATIONS

       Certain amounts from previous years have been reclassified to be
     consistent with the financial statement presentation for 1995.  Such
     reclassification had no effect on net income.


                                C&K 1981 FUND-A, LTD.

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

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was applied to
     the Limited Partners' debt to the General Partner.  Consequently, the
     Partnership had no cash on hand at September 30, 1995.

        Capital expenditures were $666 for the nine months ended September 30,
     1995 compared to $169,174 for same period in 1994.  The Partnership has no
     plans for additional exploratory or developmental capital programs, except
     those necessary to maintain well productivity for 1995.

        Any funds required by the Partnership in excess of those generated by
     operating proceeds will be advanced by GCEC, through CODY, the General
     Partner, since all of the Partnership's cash flow is encumbered and no
     Partnership funds are available for drilling future wells.  The revenues
     attributable to the Limited Partners' share of the Partnership's producing
     operations are presently applied entirely against its indebtedness for past
     advances contributed by the General Partner.  CODY is currently considering
     either transferring its limited partner and general partner interests in
     the Partnership, or withdrawing as general partner, or taking other actions
     to reduce its responsibilities in the Partnership, which could lead to the
     ultimate dissolution of the Partnership.  As long as CODY remains the
     general partner of the Partnership, GCEC intends to continue advancing
     funds, through CODY, required by the Partnership in excess of those
     generated by operations (See Notes 1 and 5 to the Financial Statements).

        The Partnership's financial condition and operating results will be
     materially affected by any significant fluctuations in oil sales prices. 
     The Limited Partners' ability to reimburse funds advanced by the General
     Partner will be similarly affected.  The Partnership cannot predict the
     prices it will receive in the remainder of 1995 and future years for its
     oil and gas production.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 vs. Three Months Ended September
     30, 1994

        Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1995 was $37,395, a
     decrease of $60,874 or 62% from net income of $98,269 reported for the same
     period in 1994.  The decrease resulted primarily from a decline in net
     revenues caused by lower oil production.

        Crude oil and natural gas sales during the three months ended September
     30, 1995 were $242,283, a decrease of $72,482 or 23% compared to the same 
     period in 1994.  Crude oil production decreased to 145 barrels per day as
     compared to 199 barrels in 1994, while natural gas production increased to
     255 thousand cubic feet ("mcf") per day as compared to 231 mcf in 1994. 
     During the third quarter of 1995, average sales prices decreased for crude
     oil to $15.55 per barrel and for natural gas to $1.46 per mcf, as compared
     to $16.55 and $1.61, respectively, for the same period in 1994.

        Lease operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 1995
     increased by $24,524 or 78% compared to the corresponding period in 1994. 
     The increase in lease operating expenses is due mainly to additional
     environmental and safety costs in 1995 attributable to wells in Louisiana
     and an understatement of 1994 costs caused by adjustments to estimated
     costs originally recorded in 1993.  Production tax expense for the third
     quarter of 1995 decreased by $12,935 or 33% compared to the same period in
     1994 which relates to the decline in oil production for 1995.  Marketing
     deductions were $4,697 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as
     compared to $9,280 for the corresponding period in 1994.  Depletion expense
     decreased by $14,752 or 35% compared to the same period in 1994, also the
     result of declining oil production.  General and administrative expenses
     for the third quarter of 1995 decreased by $7,569 or 11% compared to the
     same period in 1994.  Interest expense increased by $3,707 or 16% compared
     to the corresponding period in 1994.  The increase in interest expense is
     due to an increase in the interest rate from 1994 to 1995.

       Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30,
     1994

        Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $123,861, a
     decrease of $229,442 or 65% compared to the same period in 1994.  This
     decrease resulted primarily from an overall decline in production and an
     increase in lease operating expense.

        Crude oil and natural gas sales during the nine months ended September
     30, 1995 were $875,539, a decrease of $154,612 or 15% compared to the same
     period in 1994.  Crude oil and natural gas production per day decreased to
     169 barrels and 246 mcf, respectively, as compared to 218 barrels and 255
     mcf, respectively, in 1994.  During the first nine months of 1995, average
     sales prices increased for crude oil to $16.82 per barrel and decreased for
     natural gas to $1.50 per mcf, as compared to $15.18 and $2.05 respectively,
     for the same period in 1994.

        Lease operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
     increased by $92,316 or 59% compared to the corresponding period in 1994. 
     Production tax expense for the first nine months of 1995 increased by
     $7,011 or 7% compared to the same period in 1994.  The increase in lease 
     operating costs is a result of additional operating requirements as the
     properties mature, including environmental and safety costs, irrespective
     of production declines.  Also, the nine months ended September 1994 are
     understated, due to recognition during 1994 of lease operating expense
     accrual adjustments applicable to 1993.  Production taxes, which normally
     increase or decrease with production, were also understated in 1994,
     causing the relative increase for 1995.  Marketing deductions were $12,547
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $24,064 for the
     corresponding period in 1994.  Marketing deductions for 1994 included
     approximately $6,600 in charges applicable to 1993 production.  Depletion
     expense decreased by $26,955 or 21% compared to the same period in 1994;
     both of these decreases are attributable to lower production for 1995. 
     General and administrative expenses for 1995 decreased by $4,995 or 2%
     compared to the same period in 1994.  Interest expense increased by $18,970
     or 31% compared to the corresponding period in 1994.  The increase in
     interest expense is due to an increase in interest rates from 1994 to 1995.
