NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Hallwood Energy Partners, L.  P. ("HEP") is  a publicly traded Delaware  limited
partnership engaged in the  development, production, sale and  transportation of
oil and gas and  in the acquisition, exploration,  development and operation  of
oil and gas properties.  The principal objectives of HEP are to maintain  and to
expand  its reserve  base and to  provide cash  distributions to  holders of its
units  representing limited partner interests ("Units").  The general partner of
HEP is Hallwood Energy Corporation ("HEC") which has been engaged in oil and gas
exploration and development since its incorporation in 1968.

The  activities  of HEP  are  conducted through  HEP Operating  Partners,  L. P.
("HEPO") and EDP Operating, Ltd.  ("EDPO").  HEP is the sole limited partner and
HEC is  the sole general  partner of  HEPO.   Hallwood G. P.,  Inc. ("HGPI"),  a
wholly-owned subsidiary of HEC, is the sole general partner, and HEP is the sole
limited  partner of  EDPO.   Solely for  purposes of  simplicity  herein, unless
otherwise indicated, all  references to  HEP in connection  with the  ownership,
exploration,  development or production of  oil and gas  properties include HEPO
and EDPO.

The interim financial data are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the general
partner, the interim  data include  all adjustments, consisting  only of  normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation  of the results for the
interim periods.  These financial statements should be read  in conjunction with
the  financial statements and accompanying  footnotes included in HEP's December
31, 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONSOLIDATION

HEP  fully consolidates majority owned entities and reflects a minority interest
in the  consolidated financial statements.  HEP accounts for its interest in 50%
or  less owned  affiliated  oil  and  gas  partnerships  and  limited  liability
companies using  the proportionate  consolidation method  of accounting.   HEP's
investment in approximately  40% of the common stock  of its affiliate, Hallwood
Consolidated Resources  Corporation ("HCRC"), is accounted for  under the equity
method.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  include  the activities  of  HEP,  its
subsidiaries Hallwood Petroleum,  Inc. ("HPI")  and Hallwood Oil  and Gas,  Inc.
("Hallwood Oil")  and majority  owned affiliates, the  May Limited  Partnerships
1983-1, 1983-2, 1983-3, 1984-1, 1984-2, 1984-3 ("Mays").  

TREASURY STOCK

HEP owns approximately  40% of the outstanding common stock  of HCRC, which owns
approximately 9% of HEP's Units; consequently, HEP has an interest in 317,750 of
its own Units.   These Units are  treated as treasury units in  the accompanying
financial statements.<PAGE>
RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain  reclassifications have  been  made to  the  prior period's  amounts  to
conform to the classifications used in the current period.


NOTE 2 - DEBT

During the first quarter, HEP and its lenders amended and restated HEP's Amended
and Restated  Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement")  to extend the term  date of
its line of  credit to May 31, 1997.  Under  the Credit Agreement and an Amended
and Restated  Note Purchase Agreement ("Note  Purchase Agreement") (collectively
referred to as the "Credit Facilities") HEP has a borrowing base of $42,000,000.
HEP has  amounts outstanding at  June 30, 1995  of $21,700,000 under  the Credit
Agreement  and $12,857,000 under the  Note Purchase Agreement.   HEP's borrowing
base  is  further  reduced  by  the  outstanding  contract  settlement  debt  of
$3,595,000  and capital  lease obligations  of $135,000;  therefore, its  unused
borrowing base totaled $3,713,000 at June 30, 1995.

Borrowings under the Note Purchase Agreement  bear interest at an annual rate of
11.85%, which is  payable quarterly.   Annual principal  payments of  $4,286,000
began April 30, 1992,  and the debt is required to be paid  in full on April 30,
1998.   HEP intends  to fund  the payment due  in April 1996  through additional
borrowings under the  Credit Agreement; thus, no portion  of HEP's Note Purchase
Agreement is classified as current as of June 30, 1995.

Borrowings  against the  Credit  Agreement bear  interest at  the  lower of  the
Certificate of Deposit rate plus 1.875%, prime plus 1/2% or the Euro-Dollar rate
plus 1.75% (7.87% at June 30, 1995).  Interest is payable monthly, and quarterly
principal payments  of $1,624,000,  as adjusted  for the  anticipated borrowings
during April 1996, commence May 31, 1997.

The borrowing base  for the  Credit Facilities is  redetermined semiannually  in
March and September  of each year.  The Credit Facilities are secured by a first
lien  on  approximately   80%  in  value  of  HEP's   oil  and  gas  properties.
Additionally,  aggregate distributions  paid by HEP  in any 12  month period are
limited  to 50% of cash flow from  operations before working capital changes and
distributions received from affiliates.
 
The  current  portion  of long-term  debt  represents  a  current capital  lease
obligation of $96,000.

HEP has entered into contracts to hedge its interest rate payments on $5,000,000
of its  debt  through  the  end of  1995,  $10,000,000  for 1996  and  1997  and
$5,000,000  for the first three  quarters of 1998.  HEP  does not use the hedges
for  trading purposes,  but rather  for the  purpose of  providing a  measure of
predictability for a portion of HEP's interest payments under its debt agreement
which has a floating interest rate.  In  general, it is HEP's goal to hedge  50%
of the principal amount of  its debt for each year of the remaining  term of the
debt.  HEP has entered into two hedges, one of which is an interest  rate collar
pursuant to which it  pays a floor rate of 5.8% and a  ceiling rate of 8.1%, and
the other is  an interest rate  swap with a  fixed rate of  5.75%.  The  amounts
received  or  paid  upon settlement  of  these  transactions  are recognized  as
interest expense at the time the interest payments are due.


NOTE 3 - STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

Cash  paid for interest during  the six months ended June  30, 1995 and 1994 was
$1,684,000 and $1,691,000, respectively.


NOTE 4 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On August 15,  1995, the United States District Court  for the Southern District
of  New York issued a  Final Order approving  the settlement of  In Re: Hallwood
Energy Partners,  L. P.  Securities Litigation, 90  Civ. 1555.   The  settlement
class  is composed of  all persons and  entities who beneficially  owned or held
units of  Energy Development  Partners,  Ltd. ("EDP")  on May  9,  1990 and  who
exchanged, or were eligible to exchange,  their EDP units for HEP Units pursuant
to the merger of EDP into HEP (the "Transaction"). 
As  part  of the  settlement,  HEP will  make  a cash  payment  of approximately
$2,870,000,  which was recorded as an expense in HEP's 1994 financial statements
as  the  estimated cost  associated  with  the  litigation.    In  addition,  in
connection  with plaintiffs'  allegation  that  they  did not  receive  adequate
compensation  for their EDP Units at the time of the Transaction, HEP will issue
Units having a market value of $5,330,000.   When issued, these Units, which are
presently  estimated  to total  approximately  1,185,000, will  be  treated, for
financial statement purposes only, as additional Units issued in connection with
the  Transaction, which was accounted for as  a reorganization of entities under
common  control, in  a manner  similar to a  pooling of  interests, and  will be
reflected as outstanding  Units since May 9, 1990, the  date of the Transaction.
As a result, after the Units are issued, the number of Units outstanding and the
net  income (loss)  per  Unit will  be  retroactively restated  for  all periods
subsequent to the Transaction.  The Board  of Directors of HCRC has approved the
exercise by  HCRC of  an option to  purchase all  of the  Units for  $5,330,000,
provided that the  effective price paid  by HCRC for the  Units is no  more than
$6.00  and  no  less  than $3.875.    If  the completion  of  the  settlement is
substantially delayed, or  if there is a material  change in circumstances, HCRC
will reassess its current intention to purchase the settlement Units.  HEP Units
will be  issued and  the settlement  proceeds will be  distributed to  the class
after all time periods for an appeal of the final settlement order have expired.
Unless there is an  appeal of the court's order, HEP expects  to issue the Units
and pay the cash portion to the class nominee in late September or October 1995.

Trial in the lawsuit styled Stutes v.  Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. et al. has  been
set  for  February  1996.   The  plaintiff in  the  lawsuit, a  driver  for Koch
Services, alleges that  as a result of  exposure to benzene in  the petroleum he
was  hauling from various wells owned and  operated by HPI and the approximately
80 other named  defendants, he  contracted myelogenous leukemia.   Discovery  is
ongoing.   HPI  plans to  vigorously defend  this case,  but cannot  predict the
outcome of  this matter  or any  possible effect  an uninsured or  unindemnified
adverse outcome might have.


ITEM  2 -    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH FLOW 

HEP generated $9,613,000 of cash flow from operating activities during the first
six months of 1995.

The other primary cash inflows were:

 o  $12,000,000 in proceeds from long-term debt

 o  $258,000 in proceeds from the sale of property

Cash was used primarily for:

 o  Payments of long-term debt of $7,331,000

 o  Additions to property and development costs incurred of $6,456,000

 o  Distributions to Unitholders of $4,571,000

 o  Payments of contract settlement of $704,000

When  combined with  miscellaneous other  cash activity  during the  period, the
result was an  increase of $1,766,000 in HEP's cash  from $2,409,000 at December
31, 1994 to $4,175,000 at June 30, 1995.

CAPITAL PROJECTS

For 1995, HEP has a capital budget of $15,800,000 which includes $11,600,000 for
direct  expenditures  and  $4,200,000  for  indirect  expenditures  through  its
investment in Hallwood Spraberry Drilling Company, L.L.C. ("HSD").  Through June
30, 1995, HEP  incurred approximately $9,299,000  in capital expenditures  which
includes  $6,456,000   directly  and  $2,843,000  indirectly  through  HSD.    A
description  of significant exploration and development projects to date in 1995
follows.

HSD has incurred approximately  $2,843,000, net to HEP's interest,  through June
30, 1995  for 20  drilled wells,  12 recompletions  and acquisition  of drilling
leases on the Rocker "b" Ranch in Reagan County, Texas.  HSD has its own line of
credit of $4,000,000, net to  HEP's interest, provided by a third  party lender.
The line of credit is secured only by certain leases on the Rocker "b" Ranch and
is otherwise nonrecourse to  HEP.  Based on the initial  success of the drilling
and recompletions, HEP spent approximately $780,000 on additional acreage in the
Rocker "b" Ranch during  the second quarter, and HSD plans to expand its project
area to include this acreage.  HSD has three drilling rigs under contract in the
area currently, and now plans to drill 54 wells by the end of 1995.  It is HEP's
intention to arrange third party financing for the drilling.   The wells drilled
and recompleted  through June  30, 1995  added a total  of 1  million equivalent
barrels  of  proven  developed   and  undeveloped  reserves,  including  640,000
equivalent  barrels which were booked as proven undeveloped reserves at December
31, 1994.   From June 30  to August 11,  1995, HSD  drilled an additional  seven
wells.    The 39  wells  drilled  or recompleted  since  January  1, 1995,  have
increased HEP's share of production on the Rocker "b" properties  by 590 barrels
of oil equivalent per day. 

HEP's  $11,600,000 direct  capital  budget is  being  expended on  a variety  of
projects  described below.   The  reserve additions  generated by  the following
expenditures resulted  in replacement of 72% of production during the first half
of 1995 net of downward revisions caused primarily by price declines.

HEP  spent approximately  $825,000 on  six successful  drilling wells  and eight
successful recompletions in  the West Texas  Kermit area where  HEP has  working
interests ranging  from 25% to  80%.  Gross  production on these  properties has
increased by 690 barrels  of oil per day and 1,275 mcf per day.  Future projects
in the  area include secondary recovery  in the San Andres  and Holt Formations.
It is anticipated that six more wells  will be recompleted and seven more  wells
will be drilled by year end.   

A workover  on the G.S. Boudreaux in Lafayette Parish increased gross production
rates from 17,500  mcf per day and 370  barrels of condensate per day  to 22,000
mcf per day and  450 barrels of condensate per day during  the second quarter of
1995.   The increased production  rate on the  G.S. Boudreaux is  anticipated to
increase the state administered  production allowable for the A.L.  Boudreaux in
the same area from its current  20,000 mcf per day to  28,000 mcf per day.   HEP
has a 26% interest in the A.L. Boudreaux.

In  Richland  County, Montana,  the Lewis  #1 was  recompleted to  the Interlake
Formation  in the first quarter  of 1995, and the  well is currently flowing 325
barrels of oil per  day and 165 mcf per  day.  Two development wells  to further
exploit  this field's  reserves are  planned for  1995.  HEP  has a  22% working
interest in the area.

In  the first six months of 1995,  HEP spent approximately $290,000 on a program
started in late 1994 in New Mexico.  This  amount includes eight successful non-
operated  development  wells  in Lea  County,  New  Mexico,  and two  successful
operated recompletions in Eddy County, New Mexico, having gross combined initial
flowing potentials of  2,750 barrels of oil per day and  3,525 mcf per day.  HEP
has a 5% working  interest in the Lea County  field and 25% to 50%  interests in
the Eddy County wells.  An additional five  nonoperated wells are expected to be
drilled by the end of 1996.

In May 1995,  HEP completed an exploratory well in  Hot Springs County, Wyoming.
The  well is  flowing 550  barrels of  oil per  day, and  a delineation  well is
presently  being  drilled.   HEP  has  a 17%  working  interest  in this  field.
Depending upon the results of the delineation well, additional field development
is possible.
 
In the first  six months of  1995, HEP drilled  two additional coal  bed methane
development wells  and acquired working interests  in the San Juan  Basin of New
Mexico, for a total of approximately $194,000.  The two new wells have increased
gross  production in  this area  by 325  mcf per  day,  and gross  production is
expected to  increase further as the  Fruitland Coal dewaters.   HEP has working
interests in these new wells of 18% and 25%.

During  the first six  months of 1995,  HEP also acquired  additional acreage in
Martin County, Reagan County and Irion County, Texas for approximately $497,000.
Nine wells are  planned to be drilled on the Irion  County acreage in 1995.  HEP
has also spent approximately $555,000 on two development wells in Reagan County,
Texas in  which it has a  90% working interest.   Significant additional acreage
acquisition in  1995 is anticipated  to support  1996 drilling  plans in  Reagan
County.  Numerous other  projects, which are individually less  significant, are
also underway in Montana, Colorado, North Dakota, Texas and Utah.  Additionally,
six wildcat exploration wells are planned for the second half of 1995.

During  the first quarter of 1995, Hallwood Petroleum Indonesia, Inc. ("Hallwood
Indonesia") completed  and evaluated its first well,  PTH-01, in the Telaga Said
Field in North Sumatra, Indonesia.   A 39 barrel per day oil  test was obtained,
but insufficient reserves  were indicated  to justify  field development  costs.
Consequently, Hallwood Indonesia has  decided to relinquish its interest  in the
contract area and  is in the process of closing down  its operations there.  HEP
recorded $4,051,000  of impairment expense  in the first quarter  of 1995, which
represents the write-off of its entire investment in Hallwood Indonesia.

DISTRIBUTIONS 

HEP paid  a $.20  per Unit  distribution on  May 15,  1995 and a  $.20 per  Unit
distribution on August  15, 1995.  HEP  will continue to evaluate its  cash flow
from  operations  on  a  quarterly  basis  and  will  determine  each  quarter's
distribution  accordingly.  HEP expects to continue distributions at the current
level through 1995, absent adverse developments in price, production or costs.

FINANCING 

During the first quarter, HEP and its lenders amended and restated HEP's Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement  ("Credit Agreement") to extend  the term date  of
its line of credit to  May 31, 1997.  Under the Credit Agreement  and an Amended
and Restated  Note Purchase Agreement ("Note  Purchase Agreement") (collectively
referred to as the "Credit Facilities") HEP has a borrowing base of $42,000,000.
HEP has amounts  outstanding at June  30, 1995 of  $21,700,000 under the  Credit
Agreement  and $12,857,000 under the  Note Purchase Agreement.   HEP's borrowing
base  is  further  reduced  by  the  outstanding  contract  settlement  debt  of
$3,595,000 and  capital lease  obligations  of $135,000;  therefore, its  unused
borrowing base totaled $3,713,000 at June 30, 1995.

Borrowings under the Note Purchase Agreement bear interest at an  annual rate of
11.85%, which is  payable quarterly.   Annual principal  payments of  $4,286,000
began April 30, 1992,  and the debt is required to be paid  in full on April 30,
1998.   HEP intends  to fund the  payment due  in April 1996  through additional
borrowings under  the Credit Agreement; thus, no  portion of HEP's Note Purchase
Agreement is classified as current as of June 30, 1995.

Borrowings  against the  Credit  Agreement bear  interest at  the  lower of  the
Certificate of Deposit rate plus 1.875%, prime plus 1/2% or the Euro-Dollar rate
plus 1.75% (7.87% at June 30, 1995).  Interest is payable monthly, and quarterly
principal payments  of $1,624,000,  as adjusted  for the  anticipated borrowings
during April 1996, commence May 31, 1997.

The borrowing base  for the  Credit Facilities is  redetermined semiannually  in
March and September of each year.   The Credit Facilities are secured by a first
lien  on  approximately  80%   in  value  of  HEP's  oil   and  gas  properties.
Additionally, aggregate  distributions paid  by HEP in  any 12 month  period are
limited  to 50% of cash flow from  operations before working capital changes and
distributions received from affiliates.
 
The  current  portion  of long-term  debt  represents  a  current capital  lease
obligation of $96,000.

HEP has entered into contracts to hedge its interest rate payments on $5,000,000
of its  debt  through  the end  of  1995,  $10,000,000 for  1996  and  1997  and
$5,000,000 for the first three  quarters of 1998.   HEP does not use the  hedges
for  trading purposes,  but rather  for the  purpose of  providing a  measure of
predictability for a portion of HEP's interest payments under its debt agreement
which has a floating interest rate.  In  general, it is HEP's goal to hedge  50%
of the principal amount of  its debt for each year of the remaining  term of the
debt.  HEP has entered into two hedges, one of which is an interest  rate collar
pursuant to which it  pays a floor rate of 5.8% and a  ceiling rate of 8.1%, and
the other is  an interest rate  swap with a  fixed rate of  5.75%.  The  amounts
received  or  paid  upon settlement  of  these  transactions  are recognized  as
interest expense at the time the interest payments are due.

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

PRICES 

Prices obtained for oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors that are
beyond the  control  of  HEP,  including the  extent  of  domestic  and  foreign
production,  imports  of foreign  oil,  market  demand, domestic  and  worldwide
economic and  political  conditions, and  government regulations  and tax  laws.
Prices  for both oil and gas fluctuated  significantly throughout 1994 and 1995.
The following table presents the average prices received each quarter by HEP and
the effects of the hedging transactions discussed below.

</TABLE>
HEP has  entered into numerous financial contracts to hedge the price of its oil
and natural  gas.  The  purpose of the hedges  is to provide  protection against
price drops and to provide a measure of stability in the volatile environment of
oil and natural  gas spot pricing.  The revenue  associated with these contracts
is recognized as oil or gas revenue at the time the hedged volumes are sold.



The following table provides a summary of HEP's outstanding financial contracts:

Between  20% and 100% of  the oil volumes  hedged in each year  are subject to a
participating hedge whereby  HEP will receive the  contract price if  the posted
futures price  is lower than the  contract price, and will  receive the contract
price plus between  25% and 75% of the difference between the contract price and
the posted  futures  price if  the  posted futures  price  is greater  than  the
contract price.  Between  25% and 100%  of the volumes hedged  in each year  are
subject to a collar agreement whereby HEP will receive the contract price if the
spot price is lower  than the contract price, the cap price if the spot price is
higher than  the cap price,  and the  spot price  if that price  is between  the
contract price and the cap price.  The cap prices range from $16.50 to $18.85.

is lower than the contract price, the cap price if the spot price is higher than
the  cap price, and the  spot price if that price  is between the contract price
and the cap price.  The cap prices range from $2.50 to $2.81. During the third
quarter through August 3, 1995, the oil price (for barrels not hedged) averaged
between $15.75  and $16.25 per  barrel.  The  weighted average price of natural
gas (for mcf not hedged) was between $1.30 and $1.40 per mcf.

INFLATION

Inflation did not have  a material impact on HEP in 1994  and is not anticipated
to have a material impact in 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following  table is presented to  contrast HEP's average oil  and gas prices
and  production.   Significant  fluctuations are  discussed in  the accompanying

</TABLE>
SECOND QUARTER 1995 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1994

OIL REVENUE

Oil revenue increased by  $322,000, or 8%, during the second  quarter of 1995 as
compared with the  second quarter  of 1994.   The increase is  the result of  an
increase in the average oil price  from $16.84 per barrel in 1994 to  $18.14 per
barrel in  1995 combined with a  slight increase in oil  production from 233,000
barrels in 1994 to 234,000 barrels in  1995.  The increase in oil production  is
due to increased production  from developmental drilling projects in  West Texas
which more than offset normal production declines.

The  effect of  HEP's hedging  transactions, as  described under  "Inflation and
Changing Prices," was to increase HEP's average oil price from $18.00 per barrel
to  $18.14 per barrel, representing  $33,000 in additional  revenue from hedging
transactions.

GAS REVENUE

Gas  revenue  decreased by  $1,231,000  during  the second  quarter  of  1995 as
compared  with the second  quarter of  1994.   The decrease is  the result  of a
decrease  in production  from 3,296,000 mcf  in 1994  to 3,147,000  mcf in 1995,
combined with a 15%  decrease in price from $1.94  per mcf in 1994 to  $1.64 per
mcf  in 1995.  The decrease in production  is due to allowable production limits
and normal production declines.

The effect of HEP's hedging transactions was to increase HEP's average gas price
from $1.39 per mcf to $1.64 per mcf, representing $787,000 in additional revenue
from hedging transactions.

PIPELINE, FACILITIES AND OTHER

Pipeline, facilities and  other revenue consists primarily of  facilities income
from  two gathering  systems located in  New Mexico, revenues  derived from salt
water disposal, and  incentive payments related  to the sale  of a term  working
interest in  certain wells in San  Juan County.  Pipeline,  facilities and other
income increased  by $227,000 during the second quarter of 1995 as compared with
the second quarter of 1994, primarily as a result of incentive payments received
during the second quarter of 1995.



INTEREST INCOME

The decrease in interest income of $175,000 during the second quarter of 1995 as
compared with  the second quarter  of 1994  resulted from a  lower average  cash
balance  during the  second quarter  of 1995  as compared  with the  same period
during 1994.

PRODUCTION OPERATING EXPENSE

Production  operating expense decreased  $990,000 during  the second  quarter of
1995 as compared with the second quarter of 1994, primarily as a result of lower
production  taxes  due to  decreased  oil  and  gas  revenue  and  general  cost
reductions in West Texas.

FACILITIES OPERATING EXPENSE

Facilities  operating expense represents the  costs of operating and maintaining
two gathering systems located in New  Mexico.  Costs decreased by $74,000 during
1995 as compared with 1994 due to decreased maintenance activity.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

General  and   administrative  expense   includes  costs  incurred   for  direct
administrative services  such as legal,  audit and  reserve reports, as  well as
allocated internal overhead incurred by the operating  company on behalf of HEP.
These expenses decreased $119,000 during the second quarter of  1995 as compared
with the second quarter of 1994  primarily due to reductions in personnel during
the first quarter of 1995.

DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

Depreciation, depletion  and amortization expense decreased  $517,000 during the
second  quarter  of 1995  as compared  with  the second  quarter  of 1994.   The
decrease is  primarily the result of lower capitalized costs in 1995 as compared
with  1994 due to the property impairment  recorded during the fourth quarter of
1994. 

IMPAIRMENT OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

HEP  recorded  a property  impairment at  June  30, 1995  of  $7,000,000 because
capitalized costs on that date exceeded the present value (discounted at 10%) of
estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves based upon prices
received at June 30, 1995 of $16.50 per barrel of oil and $1.50 per mcf of gas.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest  expense  increased by  $59,000 during  the second  quarter of  1995 as
compared  with the second quarter  of 1994, primarily as  the result of a higher
interest rates.

EQUITY IN LOSS OF HCRC

Equity  in loss of affiliate represents HEP's  share of its equity investment in
HCRC.   HEP's equity in loss  increased $1,395,000 during the  second quarter of
1995 as compared with the second quarter of 1994.  The increase is the result of
a property impairment recorded by HCRC.

FIRST SIX MONTHS 1995 COMPARED TO THE FIRST SIX MONTHS 1994

The comparisons for the  first six months  of 1995 and the  first six months  of
1994 are consistent with those discussed in the second quarter  1995 compared to
the second quarter 1994 except for the following:

OIL REVENUE

Oil revenue increased $822,000 or 11%.  The increase is comprised of an increase
in average oil prices  from $15.71 per  barrel in 1994 to  $17.68 per barrel  in
1995 slightly offset by a decrease in production from 469,000 barrels in 1994 to
463,000 barrels  in 1995.  The  production decrease is due  to normal production
declines partially  offset by  increased production from  developmental drilling
projects in West Texas.

The effect of HEP's hedging transactions was to increase HEP's average oil price
from $17.40 per barrel to $17.68 per barrel, representing a $130,000 increase in
revenues.

GAS REVENUE

Gas revenue decreased $3,350,000 during the first six months of 1995 as compared
with the first  six months of 1994.  The decrease  is comprised of a decrease in
price from  $2.04 per  mcf in  1994 to  $1.72 per  mcf in 1995  combined with  a
decrease in production from 6,896,000 mcf in 1994 to 6,219,000 mcf in 1995.  The
production  decrease is due to allowable production limits and normal production
declines.

The effect of HEP's hedging transactions was to increase HEP's average gas price
from $1.45  per mcf  to $1.72  per  mcf, representing  $1,679,000 in  additional
revenue from hedging transactions.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

General  and administrative  expense  increased $108,000  during  the first  six
months of  1995 as compared with the  first six months of  1994 primarily due to
bank fees associated with the extension of HEP's line of credit during the first
quarter of 1995.

IMPAIRMENT OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

Impairment of  oil  and gas  properties  during the  first  six months  of  1995
includes the write-off of HEP's Indonesian  operations as well as the previously
discussed property impairment.

EQUITY IN LOSS OF HCRC

Equity in loss of  HCRC increased $2,093,000 during the first six months of 1995
as compared with the first six months of 1994.  The increase is primarily due to
HCRC's  impairment  expense  resulting  from  the  write-off  of its  Indonesian
operations  during  the first  quarter  of 1995  and  a second  quarter property
impairment recorded by HCRC.

MINORITY INTEREST IN NET INCOME OF SUBSIDIARIES

Minority  interest  in  net   income  of  subsidiaries  represents  unaffiliated
partners' interest in the net income of  the May Partnerships.  The decrease  is
due to  a decline  in the  net income  of  the May  Partnerships resulting  from
decreased production on their properties.
