Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

1. Liquidity -

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. There is also competition between this industry and other industries in supplying energy and fuel requirements of industrial and residential consumers. It is not possible for the Registrant to calculate its position in the industry, as Registrant competes with many other companies having substantially greater financial and other resources. In accordance with the terms of the Prospectus as filed by the Registrant, the General Partners of the Registrant will make cash distributions of as much of the Partnership cash credited to the capital accounts of the Partners as the General Partners have determined is not necessary or desirable for the payment of contingent debts, liabilities or expenses for the conduct of the Partnership's business. As of June 30, 2000, the General Partners have distributed $1,754,840.00 or 19.00% of original Limited Partner capital contributions to the Limited Partners.

The net proved oil and gas reserves of the Partnership are considered to be a primary indicator of financial strength and future liquidity. The present value of unescalated future net revenues (S.E.C. case) associated with such reserves, discounted at 10% as of December 31, 1999, was approximately $897,388, as compared to $649,800 as of December 31, 1998. Overall reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of gas and oil that can not be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of the engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Accordingly, reserve estimates are generally different from the quantities of gas and oil that are ultimately recovered and such differences may have a material impact on the Partnership's financial results and future liquidity.

 

<page> 3

2. Capital Resources -

The Registrant was formed for the sole intention of drilling oil and gas wells. The Registrant entered into a drilling contract with an independent contractor in October 1984 for $7,750,000. Pursuant to the terms of this contract, thirty-two wells have been drilled, resulting in thirty-two producing wells.

3. Results of Operations -

Total operating revenues increased from $ 73,703 in 1999 to $151,124 in 2000. The Partnership's production of gas increased from 30,968 MCF in 1999 to 36,413 MCF in 2000. Also the Partnership was paid an average price per MCF of $ 1.98 in 1999 compared to the higher average price per MCF of $3.30 in 2000. The Partnerhsip's gas production was stable and experianced no major shut-in's during the first half of 2000. During 1999, a substantial portion of the Partnership's production was shut-in for the month of June due to required maintenance of the gas transporter's pipeline.The Partnership's oil revenue was postively impacted by the current average price of $22.16 per barrel it has been receiving in 2000. The combination of higher oil and gas prices, stable oil production and increased gas production contributed to the overall postive invcrease in operating revenues. Production expenses increased from $53,198 in 1999 to $89,571 in 2000. Some of the production expenses are variable and based upon production volumes and dollars. Other costs include location, electrical, and mechanical repairs as well as general upkeep costs.. During 2000 some additional minor repair costs were incurred in order to maintain current production levels. All other costs were consistent with the level of produciton and the general upkeep of the well and well-site.

General and administrative expenses to a related party are charged in accordance with guidelines set forth in the Registrant's Management Agreement and are attributable to the affairs and operations of the Partnership and shall not exceed an annual amount equal to 5% of the Limited Partners capital contributions. Amounts related to both 1999 and 2000 are substantially less than the amounts allocable to the Registrant under the Partnership Agreement. Management continues to manage third party costs and use in-house resources to provide efficient and timely services to the Partnership.

The Partnership records additional depreciation, depletion and amortization to the extent that net capitalized costs exceed the undiscounted future net cash flows attributable to the Partnership properties. The Partnership was not required to revise the properties basis in 1999 or during the first half of 2000. The current depreciation was reasonable based upon the current remaining basis in the Partnership properties.

PART II

Items 1 to 5 have been omitted in that each item is either inapplicable or the answer is negative.

Item 6: Exhibits and reports on Form 8-k

The Partnership was not required to file any reports on Form 8-K during the period covered by this report.

Exhibit 27 - Financial data schedule is attached to the current filling of this report.
