ENEX PROGRAM I PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       The  interim  financial   information  included  herein  is  unaudited;
         however,  such information reflects all adjustments  (consisting solely
         of  normal  recurring   adjustments)  which  are,  in  the  opinion  of
         management,  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of  results  for  the
         interim periods.

2.       A cash  distribution was made to the limited partners of the Company in
         the amount of $492,333,  representing net revenues from the sale of oil
         and  gas  produced  from   properties   owned  by  the  Company.   This
         distribution was made on January 31, 1997.

 3.      On April 7, 1997, the Company's  General  Partner mailed proxy material
         to the limited partners with respect to a proposed consolidation of the
         Company  with 33 other  managed  limited  partnerships.  The  terms and
         conditions  of the proposed  consolidation  are set forth in such proxy
         material.

4.   The Financial  Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
     Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS") No. 121,  "Accounting  for the Impairment of
     Long-Lived  Assets  and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be  Disposed  Of," which
     requires  certain assets to be reviewed for impairment  whenever  events or
     circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Prior to
     this pronouncement,  the Company assessed properties on an aggregate basis.
     Upon  adoption of SFAS 121, the Company  began  assessing  properties on an
     individual  basis,  wherein  total  capitalized  costs may not  exceed  the
     property's  fair market  value.  The fair market value of each property was
     determined by H. J. Gruy and  Associates,  ("Gruy").  To determine the fair
     market value, Gruy estimated each property's oil and gas reserves,  applied
     certain  assumptions  regarding price and cost  escalations,  applied a 10%
     discount factor for time and certain discount  factors for risk,  location,
     type   of   ownership   interest,   category   of   reserves,   operational
     characteristics,  and other  factors.  In the first  quarter  of 1996,  the
     Company recognized a non-cash impairment  provision of $125,097 for certain
     oil and gas properties due to changes in the overall market for the sale of
     oil and gas and  significant  decreases in the  projected  production  from
     certain of the Company's oil and gas properties.

Item 2.            Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.


First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1997

Oil and gas sales for the  first  quarter  increased  from  $633,886  in 1996 to
$787,080 in 1997.  This  represents  an increase  of $153,194  (24%).  Oil sales
decreased by $87,633 or 32%. A 40% decline in oil  production  reduced  sales by
$109,441.  This decrease was  partially  offset by a 13% increase in average oil
sales prices.  Gas sales increased by $240,827 or 67%. A 16% increase in average
gas sales prices  increased  sales by $82,836.  A 44% increase in gas production
increased  sales by an additional  $157,991.  The decrease in oil production was
primarily the result of natural production declines coupled with the sale in the
fourth quarter of 1996, of the E.M. Lane well in the Shell  acquisition  and the
Grass Island  acquisition.  The increase in gas  production was primarily due to
higher  production from the Dent acquisition  which had additional wells drilled
on it in 1996. The increases in average oil and gas sales prices correspond with
higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas. Gas plant sales
increased  by $144,256 or 68% from  $212,575 in 1996 to $356,831 in 1997.  A 73%
increase in the  average  sales price of gas plant  product  increased  sales by
$150,264.  This increase was partially  offset by a 3% decrease in production of
plant  products.  The increase in the average sales price of gas plant  products
correspond  with higher  prices in the overall  market for the sale of gas plant
products.  The decrease in  production  of plant  products was  primarily due to
natural production declines.

Lease  operating  expenses  decreased from $200,700 in 1996 to $107,344 in 1997.
The  decrease of $93,356  (47%) is primarily  due to the changes in  production,
noted  above,  including  the sale of the  Grass  Island  acquisition  which had
relatively higher operating costs.

Depreciation and depletion  expense increased from $119,602 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $131,508 in the first quarter of 1997. This represents an increase of
$11,906 (10%). The changes in production,  noted above,  caused depreciation and
depletion  expense to increase by $7,915.  A 3% increase in the  depletion  rate
increased  depreciation  and  depletion  expense by an  additional  $3,991.  The
increase in the depletion rate was primarily due to relatively higher production
from properties  with a higher  depletion  rate,  partially  offset by an upward
revision of the gas reserves during December 1996.

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has issued  Statement  of Financial
Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS")  No.  121,  "Accounting  for  the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of," which requires
certain assets to be reviewed for impairment  whenever  events or  circumstances
indicate  the   carrying   amount  may  not  be   recoverable.   Prior  to  this
pronouncement,  the Company  assessed  properties  on an aggregate  basis.  Upon
adoption of SFAS 121, the Company  began  assessing  properties on an individual
basis, wherein total capitalized costs may not exceed the property's fair market
value.  The fair market value of each property was  determined by H. J. Gruy and
Associates,  ("Gruy").  To determine the fair market value,  Gruy estimated each
property's oil and gas reserves, applied certain assumptions regarding price and
cost  escalations,  applied a 10% discount factor for time and certain  discount
factors for risk,  location,  type of ownership interest,  category of reserves,
operational  characteristics,  and other factors.  In the first quarter of 1996,
the Company recognized a non-cash  impairment  provision of $125,097 for certain
oil and gas  properties due to changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas and

significant  decreases in the projected production from certain of the Company's
oil and gas properties.

General and administrative expenses decreased from $249,134 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $199,315 in the first quarter of 1997. This decrease of $49,819 (20%)
is  primarily  due to less  staff time being  required  to manage the  Company's
operations in 1997.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The  Company's  cash  flow is a direct  result  of the  amount  of net  proceeds
realized from the sale of oil and gas  production  and the repayment of its debt
obligations.  Accordingly,  the  changes  in cash  flow  from  1996 to 1997  are
primarily  due to the  changes  in oil and gas  sales  described  above  and the
repayment  of  the  Company's  debt  obligations.  It is the  general  partner's
intention to distribute  substantially all of the Company's available cash flow,
after debt repayment,  to the Company's partners.  The Company's "available cash
flow" is the net amount of cash flow  provided by  operations,  net of financing
and investing activities.

The Company  discontinued  the payment of  distributions  during 1990.  Periodic
distributions  were made in the first and third  quarters  of 1996 and the first
quarter of 1997.  Future  distributions  are dependent upon, among other things,
future prices received for oil and gas. The Company will continue to recover its
reserves  and reduce  its debt  obligations.  It is  anticipated  that  periodic
distributions will be made in the future as cash becomes available.

On April 7, 1997,  the Company's  General  Partner  mailed proxy material to the
limited partners with respect to a proposed consolidation of the Company with 33
other managed  limited  partnerships.  The terms and  conditions of the proposed
consolidation are set forth in such proxy material.

As of March 31,  1997,  the  Company  had no  material  commitments  for capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
