PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
General
Enex Oil & Gas Income Program II-7, L.P. (the "Company") was
formed under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Texas on March
19, 1985 and commenced operations on July 16, 1985 with aggregate subscriptions
of $4,434,757, $4,390,409 of which was received from 560 limited partners,
including investors whose distributions from earlier partnerships sponsored by
the Company's general partner, Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex"), were
automatically invested in the Company.
The Company is engaged in the oil and gas business through the
ownership of various interests in producing oil and gas properties, as detailed
in Item 2, below. If warranted, the Company may further develop its oil and gas
properties. However, the Company does not intend to engage in significant
drilling activities. Such activities may be conducted, however, as an incidental
part of the management of producing properties or with a view toward enhancing
the value of producing properties. In no event will the Company engage in
exploratory drilling, or use any of the limited partners' net revenues to fund
exploratory drilling activities. Any developmental drilling will be financed
primarily through third party borrowing or with funds provided from operations.
The expenses of drilling, completing and equipping and operating development
wells are allocated 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the general partner.
See Note 1 to the Financial Statements for information relating to the
allocation of costs and revenues between the limited partners and the general
partner. The Company's operations are concentrated in a single industry segment.
The Company owns working interests in certain oil and gas
properties. A "working interest" is a portion of the operating interest which is
subject to most of the costs associated with a well.
The principal executive office of the Company is maintained at
Suite 200, Three Kingwood Place, Kingwood, Texas 77339. The telephone number at
this office is (713) 358-8401. The Company has no regional offices.
The Company has no employees. On March 1, 1997, Enex and its subsidiaries
employed 23 persons.
Marketing
The marketing of oil and gas produced by the Company is affected
by a number of factors which are beyond the Company's control, the exact nature
of which cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include the quantity and
price of crude oil imports, fluctuating supply and demand, pipeline and other
transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels, state and federal
regulation of oil and gas production and distribution and other matters
affecting the availability of a ready market. All of these factors are extremely
volatile.
Amoco Production Company and Exxon Company, U.S.A. accounted for 20% and
13%, respectively, of the Company's total sales in 1996. Amoco Production
Company and Exxon Company,
I-1
<PAGE>
U.S.A. accounted for 24% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's sales in 1995.
No other purchaser individually accounted for more than 10% of such sales.
Although the Company marketed a significant portion of its sales to the above
noted companies, such a concentration does not pose a significant risk due to
the commodity nature of the Company's products.
The operators of the Company's properties are noted in Item 2
below. Although a significant portion of the Company's properties were operated
by a limited number of operators, this concentration does not pose a significant
risk since the Company's rights are secured by joint operating agreements.
Environmental and Conservation Regulation
State regulatory authorities in the states in which the Company
owns producing properties are empowered to make and enforce regulations to
prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights and opportunities
to produce oil and gas as between owners of a common reservoir. Each of such
regulatory authorities also regulates the amount of oil and gas produced by
assigning allowable rates of production, which may be increased or decreased in
accordance with supply and demand. Requirements regarding the prevention and
clean-up of pollution and similar environmental matters are also generally
applicable. The costs, if any, the Company may incur in this regard cannot be
predicted.
The existence of such regulations has had no material adverse
effects on the Company's operations to date, and the cost of compliance has not
yet been material. There are no material administrative or judicial proceedings
arising under such laws or regulations pending against the Company. The Company
is unable to assess or predict the impact that compliance with environmental and
pollution control laws and regulations may have on its future operations,
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Tax Laws
The operations of the Company are affected by the federal income
tax laws contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). Under the Code, generally, the Company will report income from the sale
of oil and gas, against which it may deduct its ordinary business expenses,
depletion, depreciation and intangible drilling and development costs.
It is anticipated that most of the Company's income, if any, will
be from a "passive activity" for purposes of the Code. A passive activity
includes an activity in which the taxpayer does not materially participate,
including the ownership of a limited partnership interest, such as an interest
in the Company. "Passive income," however, does not include portfolio income
(i.e. dividends, interest, royalties, etc.). Although taxpayers generally may
not deduct losses or use tax credits derived from passive activities in an
amount greater than their income derived from such activities, if and to the
extent that the Company generates passive income, it will be available to offset
the limited partners' passive losses from other sources.
Partnerships with interests that are "publicly traded" are taxed as corporations
unless at least 90% of their income is "qualifying income." Passive income or
loss from publicly traded partnerships that are not taxed as corporations
generally cannot be applied against passive income or loss from other sources.
As stated in Item 5 of this Annual Report, there is no established public
trading market for the Company's limited
I-2
<PAGE>
partnership interests. In addition, the Company derives more than 90% of its
income within the meaning of section 7704(d) of the Code. Therefore, the Company
should not be affected by the publicly traded partnership rules.
In order to prevent the adverse tax consequences that would
affect the limited partners if the Company's limited partnership interests were
to become publicly traded in the future, the general partner may, after final
regulations have been issued by the Internal Revenue Service, submit to a vote
of limited partners a proposal to amend the Company's agreement of limited
partnership to provide, among other things, (a) that Enex shall have the right
to refuse to recognize any transfer of limited partnership interests if it
believes that such transfer occurred on a secondary market or the substantial
equivalent thereof; and (b) that all assignors and assignees of the limited
partnership interests shall be required to represent to Enex that any transfer
of limited partnership interests did not, to the best of their knowledge, occur
on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof.
Item 2. Description of Property
Presented below is a summary of the Company's property
acquisitions.
The NEWPORT acquisition consists of five wells in Terry, Wheeler
and Hardeman Counties, Texas. The Company's interests were acquired in July 1985
for a purchase price of $169,125.
The HANSON acquisition consists of working interests in 34 wells
in ten counties in South Texas and Southeast Texas. The Company acquired its
interests effective in February 1986 for $976,000.
The Company's interest in the IBERIA acquisition, which consists
of 100% of the working interest in the Edwin L. Bernard lease in Iberia Field,
Iberia Parish, Louisiana, was acquired effective in September 1986 for $324,211.
Enex operated this four-well lease.
The CONCORD acquisition consists of working interests and royalty
interests in more than 10,600 wells in 137 counties in Texas, with very minor
interests in 12 other states. The Company acquired its interests effective
January 1987 for $2,391,089.
Effective August 1990, the Company sold its interest in a small
field in the Concord acquisition (the North Robertson Unit) for $32,407
resulting in a net gain of $23,775 to the Company.
Effective June 30, 1992, the Company sold its interest in a small
field in the Concord acquisition (the Spraberry Unit) for $18,326. This sale
resulted in a net gain of $11,026 to the Company.
Effective October 1, 1993, the Company sold its interest in a
small field in the Concord acquisition (the Coleman Ranch Unit) for $37,787.
This sale resulted in a net loss of $3,609 to the Company.
Effective October 1, 1994, the Company acquired additional
working and royalty interests in the Concord acquisition for $16,787 from an
affiliated partnership. The purchase price represents the fair market value as
determined from the receipt of bids solicited from independent third party
companies.
Effective January 1, 1990, the Company sold its interests in the
Newport, Hanson and Iberia Dome acquisitions and acquired additional interests
in the Concord acquisition from an affiliated limited partnership for $328,019.
The sales and purchase prices in each case represented fair market value as
I-3
<PAGE>
determined by Townes Pressler Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum engineering consulting firm.
The Company retains working interests ranging from 0.01% to 2.46%
of the total Concord acquisition at December 31, 1996. The Concord acquisition
is operated by nearly 100 different oil and gas producers.
Purchase price as used above is defined as the actual contract
price plus finders' fees, if applicable. Miscellaneous acquisition expenses,
subsequent capital items, etc. are not included.
Oil and Gas Reserves
For quantitative information regarding the Company's oil and gas
reserves, please see Supplementary Oil and Gas Information and related tables
which follow the Notes to Financial Statements in Item 7 of this report. The
Company has not filed any current oil and gas reserve estimates or included any
such estimates in reports to any federal or foreign governmental authority or
agency, including the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Proved oil and gas reserves reported herein are based on
engineering reports prepared by the petroleum engineering consulting firm of H.
J. Gruy and Associates, Inc. The reserves included in this report are estimates
only and should not be construed as exact quantities. Future conditions may
affect recovery of estimated reserves and revenue, and all reserves may be
subject to revision as more performance data become available. The proved
reserves used in this report conform to the applicable definitions promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. No major discovery or other favorable
or adverse event that could potentially cause a significant change in the
estimated proved reserves has occurred since December 31, 1996.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in this Form 10-KSB.
Oil and gas sales in 1996 were $451,574 as compared with $351,842
in 1995. Oil and gas sales increased by $99,732 or 28%. Oil sales increased by
$73,630 or 24%. A 28% increase in the average oil sales price caused a $84,521
increase in oil revenues. This increase was partially offset by a 4% decrease in
oil production. Gas sales increased by $26,102 or 61%. A 46% increase in the
average gas sales price increased sales by $21,856. A 10% increase in gas
production increased sales by an additional $4,246. The increases in average oil
and gas prices correspond with higher prices in the overall market for the sale
of oil and gas. The decrease in oil production was primarily the result of
natural production declines. The increase in gas production was primarily due to
enhanced production improvements made on the Concord acquisition in 1995 and
1996.
Lease operating expenses were $81,511 in 1996 and $102,810 in
1995. The decrease of $21,299 or 21% from 1995 to 1996 was primarily due to
enhanced recovery costs incurred on the Concord acquisition in 1995.
Depreciation and depletion expense was $114,474 in 1996 as
compared with $134,684 in 1995. This represents a decrease in depletion and
depreciation expense of $20,210 or 15%. A 14% decrease in the depletion rate
reduced depreciation and depletion by $18,809. The changes in production, noted
above, reduced depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $1,401. The
decrease in the depletion rate was primarily the result of an upward revision of
the oil and gas reserves during December 1996.
General and administrative expenses were $42,658 in 1996 as
compared with 34,674 in 1995. The increase of $7,984 or 23% from 1995 to 1996
was primarily the result of more staff time being required to manage the
Company's operations in 1996.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Company's cash flow from operations is a direct result of the
amount of net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production.
Accordingly, the changes in cash flow from 1995 to 1996 were primarily due to
the changes in oil and gas sales described above. It is the general partner's
intention to distribute substantially all of the Company's available net cash
flow provided by operating, financing and investing activities to the Company's
partners. Distributions increased from 1995 to 1996, due primarily to the
decrease in payable to the general partner of $97,935 in 1995 as compared to a
decrease of $46,120 in 1996, coupled with the increase in oil and gas revenues,
noted above.
The Company will continue to recover its reserves and distribute
to the partners the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas
production after the payment of debt obligations. The Company plans to repay the
amounts owed to the general partner in 1997. Distribution amounts are subject to
change if net revenues are greater or less than expected. Nonetheless, the
general partner believes the Company will continue to have sufficient cash flow
to fund operations and to maintain a regular pattern of distributions.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for
capital expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in significant
developmental drilling activity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION
Enex Oil & Gas Income Program II - 7, L.P. (the "Company"), a
Texas limited partnership, commenced operations on July 16, 1985
for the purpose of acquiring proved oil and gas properties. Total
limited partner contributions were $4,434,757, of which $44,348
was contributed by Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex"), the
general partner.
In accordance with the partnership agreement, the Company paid
commissions of $420,681 for solicited subscriptions to Enex
Securities Corporation, a subsidiary of Enex, and reimbursed Enex
for organization expenses of approximately $133,000.
Information relating to the allocation of costs and revenues
between Enex, as general partner, and the limited partners is as
follows:
Limited
Enex Partners
------- --------
Commissions and selling expenses 100%
Company reimbursement of organization
expense 100%
Company property acquisition 100%
General and administrative costs 10% 90%
Costs of drilling and completing
development wells 10% 90%
Revenues from temporary investment of
partnership capital 100%
Revenues from producing properties 10% 90%
Operating costs (including general and
administrative costs associated with
operating producing properties) 10% 90%
At the point in time when the cash distributions to the limited
partners equal their subscriptions ("payout"), the costs of
drilling and completing development wells, revenues from
producing properties, general and administrative costs and
operating costs will be allocated 15% to the general partner and
85% to the limited partners.
In May, 1993, as the aggregate purchase price of the interests in
the Company plus the cumulative distributions to the limited
partners did not equal limited partner subscriptions (the
"Deficiency"), the general partner forfeited its 10% share of the
Company's net revenues. The foregone net revenues will be
allocated to the limited partners until such time as no
Deficiency exists.
II-8
<PAGE>
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oil and Gas Properties - The Company uses the successful efforts
method of accounting for its oil and gas operations. Under this
method, the costs of all development wells are capitalized.
Capitalized costs are amortized on the units-of-production method
based on estimated total proved reserves. The acquisition costs
of improved oil and gas properties are capitalized and
periodically assessed for impairment.
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.
The Company's operating interests in oil and gas properties are
recorded using the pro rata consolidation method pursuant to
Interpretation 2 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18.
Cash Flows - The Company has presented its cash flows using the
indirect method and considers all highly liquid investments with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
General and Administrative Expenses - The Company reimburses the
General Partner for direct costs and administrative costs
incurred on its behalf. Administrative costs allocated to the
Company are computed on a cost basis in accordance with standard
industry practices by allocating the time spent by the General
Partner's personnel among all projects and by allocating rent and
other overhead on the basis of the relative direct time charges.
Uses of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
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 date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.
3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
General - The Company is not a taxable entity for federal income
tax purposes. Such taxes are liabilities of the individual
partners and the amounts thereof will vary depending on the
individual situation of each partner. Accordingly, there is no
provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial
statements.

by failing to timely file reports concerning thirty-eight securities
transactions in his mother's brokerage accounts involving shares of Health
Images, Inc. stock. The SEC took the position that because Mr. Carl (1) provided
substantial financial support to his mother, (2) commingled his mother's assets
with his own, (3) provided a substantial portion of the funds used to purchase
the shares in question, and (4) received from his mother a substantial portion
of the sales proceeds, he, therefore, had a pecuniary interest in, and was a
beneficial owner of, the shares in question.

In response to the SEC's action, Mr. Carl disgorged to Health
Images, Inc. approximately $92,400 in short-swing profits from the trading in
his mother's account, plus interest thereon of approximately $52,600. The SEC
further requested the court to impose a $10,000 civil penalty against Mr. Carl
pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Without admitting or denying
the allegations in the complaint, Mr. Carl consented to the entry of a final
judgement imposing the $10,000 penalty. On January 12, 1996, a federal judge
entered the final judgement in this matter, and Mr. Carl has since filed amended
reports on Forms 4 and 5 reflecting these transactions in his mother's accounts.
In relation to the same matter, the SEC has issued an
administrative Order pursuant to Section 21C of the Exchange Act against Mr.
Carl, finding that he violated Section 16(a) and the rules thereunder and
requiring him to cease and desist from committing or causing any violation or
future violation of those provisions. Without admitting or denying allegations
in the SEC's Order, Mr. Carl consented to the entry of the Order.
