     NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      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 WGMan.  As a
     result of this acquisition, the unit holders of WCLLC are Cody Company and
     its wholly owned subsidiary, CRI.  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
     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.

      Contributions and Distributions

         Contributions by the General Partner, as presented in the Statements of
     Changes in 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 (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 (Deficit)) 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, net of proceeds from the
     sales of the Partnership s crude oil and natural gas, 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).

      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 amount 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 statement 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 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 partners' capital of $53,896 and
     $66,025 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 40 units purchased by the General Partner for its
     initial capital contribution, a total of 1,189.50 units had been purchased
     from Limited Partners as of December 31, 1995.  At January 1, 1996, the
     General Partner calculated a purchase price of $78.11 per Limited Partner
     unit.  Within the prescribed tender period, which ended June 30, 1996, a
     total of 95 Limited Partners tendered 296.25 units to the General Partner
     for a total repurchase price of $23,140.09.


     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 $123,825 for each six month period ended
     June 30, 1996 and 1995.

         During the first six months of 1996 and 1995, the Partnership
     distributed $361,739 and $270,690, respectively, to the General Partner for
     its allocated share of net revenues, and the General Partner contributed
     $226,881 and $158,281, respectively, for its share of costs and expenses.

         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 9.4% and 9.9% during the six months ended June 30, 1996
     and 1995, 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 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 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,
     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.

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

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was applied to
     the Limited Partners' debt to the General Partner.  Consequently, the
     Partnership has no cash on hand at June 30, 1996.

         The Partnership's financing requirements for operating expenses are
     currently provided by revenues from its producing operations.  Any funds
     required by the Partnership in excess of those generated by operating
     proceeds will be advanced by the General Partner.  The Partnership has no
     plans for additional exploratory or developmental capital programs, except
     those necessary to maintain well productivity for 1996.  In this regard,
     the Partnership spent approximately $920,000 to sidetrack the existing
     wellborn of the McIlhenny #1 in Iberia Parish, Louisiana.

         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 be materially affected by any significant
     fluctuations in sales prices.  The Limited Partners  ability to reimburse
     funds advanced by the General Partner will be similarly affected.


     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

         Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $102,634,
     compared to $89,169 reported for the same period in 1995, an increase of
     $13,465 or 15%.

         Crude oil and natural gas sales during the three months ended June 30,
     1996 were $445,968, an increase of $58,347 or 15% compared to the same
     period in 1995.  Natural gas production increased to 221 thousand cubic
     feet ("mcf"), per day, while crude oil production and plant products
     decreased to 205 barrels and 50 equivalent mcf, respectively, per day
     during the second quarter of 1996, compared to the 1995 level of 217
     barrels, 194 mcf, and 80 equivalent mcf, respectively, per day.  During the
     second quarter of 1996, average sales prices were $20.66 per barrel for
     crude oil, $2.52 per mcf for natural gas and $2.09 per equivalent mcf for
     plant products, compared to $17.70, $1.60, and $1.39, respectively, for
     the same period in 1995.

         Lease operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996
     increased by $11,549 or 12% compared to the corresponding period in 1995. 
     The increase in lease operating expenses is due mainly to the addition of
     the McIlhenny #1-Sidetrack #3 well which started producing during the
     second quarter of 1996.  Production tax expense for the second quarter of
     1996 decreased by $6,331 or 11% compared to the same period in 1995. 
     Although oil and gas sales revenues increased due to higher sales prices,
     Louisiana calculates production taxes based on production volumes, which
     declined overall.  Marketing deductions were $2,730 for the three months
     ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $4,430 for the corresponding period in
     1995.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased by
     $43,373 or 97% in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in
     1995.  The costs associated with the completion of the McIlhenny #1-
     Sidetrack #3 well, along with additional reserves, increased the depletion
     and reserve bases for the second quarter of 1996, which increased the
     amount of depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in 1996. 
     General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1996
     increased by $1,852 or 3% compared to the same period in 1995.  Interest
     expense decreased by $3,861 or 14% compared to the corresponding period in
     1995.  The decrease in interest expense is due to lower interest rates in
     1996.


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

         Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $274,585,
     compared to $86,466 reported for the same period in 1995.  This increase of
     $188,119 or 218% was primarily attributable to increased revenues from the
     sale of crude oil and natural gas production. 

         Crude oil and natural gas sales during the six months ended June 30,
     1996 were $834,435, an increase of $201,179 or 32% compared to the same
     period in 1995.  Crude oil and natural gas production per day increased to
     203 barrels per day and 211 mcf per day, respectively, while plant products
     decreased to 44 equivalent mcf per day during the first half of 1996,
     compared to the 1995 level of 181 barrels, 178 mcf, and 62 equivalent mcf,
     respectively, per day.  During the first six months of 1996, average sales
     prices were $19.60 per barrel for crude oil, $2.50 per mcf for natural
     gas, and $1.89 per equivalent mcf for plant products, compared to
     $17.35, $1.55 and $1.46, respectively, for the same period in 1995.

         Lease operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996
     decreased by $40,533 or 21% compared to the corresponding period in 1995. 
     This decrease was the result of additional safety and environmental costs
     and the plugging of one well in 1995, which did not occur in 1996. 
     Production tax expense for the first half of 1996 increased by $20,574 or
     24% compared to the same period in 1995, which related to increases in oil
     and gas production.  Marketing deductions were $6,351 for the six months
     ended June 30, 1996 compared to $7,850 for the corresponding period in
     1995.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased by
     $47,977 or 66% in 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  This increase
     relates to the completion of the McIlhenny #1-Sidetrack #3 well in April,
     1996, which increased both the depletion base and total reserves
     attributable to the Partnership.  General and administrative expenses for
     the first six months of 1996 decreased by $8,162 or 6% compared to the
     same period in 1995.  Interest expense decreased by $5,297 or 10% in 1996,
     primarily due to lower interest rates in 1996.
