      During the period from April 1, 1995 through June 30, 1995, NEEI disposed
of its interest in Existing (Old) Program wells containing proved or probable
reserves as follows:

      The order of the Securities and Exchange Commission dated October 22,
1985 (Release No. 23873) requires NEEI to include the reserves associated with
the above wells as production upon which royalties would be payable to NEP,
but authorizes NEEI to defer such inclusion to coincide with the estimated
production cycle for each well. However, in light of the particularly small
quantities of reserves represented in the table above, NEEI will include the
total 5,023 barrels of remaining reserves in the calculation of the royalty
for 1995. Due to operating losses, no royalty has been paid since 1985.



                               Losses Passed to NEP
                               --------------------

      Through December 31, 1985, NEEI's Old Program generated customer savings. 
Due to precipitous declines in oil and gas market prices, the Old Program
generated operating losses for the first time during 1986.  As a result of the
losses during 1986, the crossover reserve, which was $24.1 MM at December 31,
1985, was exhausted.  NEEI passed its 1986 losses in excess of the reserve,
$277,732, on to NEP in 1987.  NEEI's Old Program incurred losses in 1987
through 1993 totalling $245,028,708 which were passed on to NEP in 1988
through 1994. NEEI's Old Program loss of $39,793,816, incurred in 1994, was
passed on to NEP in 1995.
