Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared with six months ended
  June 30, 1996

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 26% to $304,025 from $410,878
for the six months  ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June
30,  1996.  The decrease in revenues  resulted  from a 32% decline in mcf of gas
produced and sold and a 27% decline in barrels of oil produced and sold,  offset
by a 10%  increase in the  average  price  received  per mcf of gas and a slight
increase in the average  price  received  per barrel of oil.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1997,  10,223 barrels of oil were sold compared to 14,007 for the
same  period in 1996,  a  decrease  of 3,784  barrels.  Of the  decrease,  2,407
barrels,  or 17%, was  attributable to the sale of four oil and gas wells during
1996. The additional  decrease of 10%, or 1,377 barrels,  was due to the decline
characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1997, 40,467 mcf of gas were sold compared to 59,422 for the same
period in 1996, a decrease of 18,955 mcf. Of the  decrease,  10,573 mcf, or 18%,
was  attributable  to the  sale of  four  oil and gas  wells  during  1996.  The
additional decrease of 8,382 mcf, or 14%, was due to the decline characteristics

                                        7

of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. Management expects a certain amount
of decline in  production  to  continue  in the future  until the  Partnership's
economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased  slightly from $20.35 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $20.48 for the same period in 1997,  while
the average price  received per mcf of gas  increased  from $2.12 during the six
months  ended June 30, 1996 to $2.34 in 1997.  The market  price for oil and gas
has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain
amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable  future. The Partnership may
therefore  sell its future oil and gas  production  at average  prices  lower or
higher than that received during the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Salvage income of $14,605 was received during the six months ended June 30, 1996
from the disposal of equipment on one fully depleted well.

A gain of $163,096  from the sale of four oil and gas wells to Costilla  Energy,
L.L.C. was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

On April 29, 1996, Southmark  Corporation,  the managing general partner and the
Partnership entered into a final $7.4 million settlement  agreement with Jack N.
Price resolving all outstanding litigation between the parties. As a result, all
of the pending lawsuits and judgments have been dismissed,  the supersedeas bond
released,  and the Reserve  released as  collateral.  On June 28,  1996, a final
distribution was made to the working interest owners of $290,690, which included
$287,784, or $28.41 per limited partnership interest, to the Partnership and its
partners.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $302,062 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to $328,560 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of $26,498,
or 8%. This  decrease was due to a decline in  production  costs and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A") , offset by an increase in depletion.

Production  costs  were  $209,968  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1997 and
$235,961 for the same period in 1996  resulting in a $25,993  decrease,  or 11%.
This  decrease  was  primarily  the  result of a  reduction  in well  repair and
maintenance  costs,  offset by an increase in  workover  expense  incurred in an
effort to stimulate well production.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
decreased, in aggregate, 26% from $12,326 for the six months ended June 30, 1996
to $9,121 for the same period in 1997. The Partnership  agreement  limits G&A to
3% of gross oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $82,973 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $80,273
for the same  period in 1996.  This  represented  an increase  in  depletion  of
$2,700,  or 3%. This increase is the result of a decline in oil reserves  during
1997 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Three months ended June 30, 1997 compared with three months ended
   June 30, 1996

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 32% to $131,627 from $194,835
for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 1996.  The decrease in revenues  resulted from a 25% decline in barrels
of oil  produced  and sold, a 16% decline in mcf of gas produced and sold, a 15%
decrease in the average  price  received per barrel of oil and an 8% decrease in
the average  price  received per mcf of gas. For the three months ended June 30,
1997,  4,680  barrels of oil were sold  compared to 6,279 for the same period in
1996, a decrease of 1,599  barrels.  Of the  decrease,  574 barrels,  or 9%, was
attributable  to the sale of four oil and gas  wells  in  1996.  The  additional
decrease of 16%, or 1,025 barrels, was due to the decline characteristics of the
Partnership's oil and gas properties.  For the three months ended June 30, 1997,
21,506 mcf of gas were sold  compared to 25,517 for the same  period in 1996,  a
decrease of 4,011 mcf. Of the decrease,  2,620 mcf, or 10%, was  attributable to
the sale of four oil and gas wells in 1996.  The  additional  decrease  of 1,391
mcf, or 6%, was due to the decline  characteristics of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $3.26 from $22.18 for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1996 to $18.92 for the same period in 1997,  while
the average price  received per mcf of gas decreased from $2.18 during the three
months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.00 in 1997.

A gain of $163,096  from the sale of four oil and gas wells to Costilla  Energy,
L.L.C. was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 1996.

On April 29, 1996, Southmark  Corporation,  the managing general partner and the
Partnership entered into a final $7.4 million settlement  agreement with Jack N.
Price resolving all outstanding litigation between the parties. As a result, all
of the pending lawsuits and judgments have been dismissed,  the supersedeas bond
released,  and the Reserve  released as  collateral.  On June 28,  1996, a final
distribution was made to the working interest owners of $290,690, which included
$287,784, or $28.41 per limited partnership interest, to the Partnership and its
partners.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased to $149,327 for the three months ended June
30,  1997 as compared  to  $161,025  for the same period in 1996,  a decrease of
$11,698,  or 7%. This decrease was due to declines in production  costs and G&A,
offset by an increase in depletion.

Production  costs were  $105,017  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997 and
$119,086 for the same period in 1996  resulting in a $14,069  decrease,  or 12%.
This  decrease  was  primarily  the result of  declines  in  workover  costs and
production taxes.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
decreased,  in  aggregate,  32% from $5,845 for the three  months ended June 30,
1996 to $3,949 for the same period in 1997.

Depletion  was $40,361  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997  compared to
$36,094 for the same period in 1996.  This  represented an increase in depletion
of $4,267, or 12%, primarily  attributable to a downward revision in oil and gas
reserves during 1997 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  decreased  $437,775  during the six
months  ended  June 30,  1997 from the same  period  ended June 30,  1996.  This
decrease  was  primarily  due to the  receipt  of  proceeds  in  1996  from  the
litigation  settlement,  as  discussed  in Item 2, and a decline  in oil and gas
sales receipts.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's  principal investing  activities for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996  included  expenditures  related to equipment  replacement  on
various oil and gas properties.

The Partnership  received  proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 1996 of
$14,605 from the disposal of oil and gas equipment and $397,225 from the sale of
four oil and gas wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was   sufficient  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997  to  cover
distributions to the partners of $185,198 of which $1,851 was distributed to the
managing  general  partner and  $183,347 to the limited  partners.  For the same
period  ended  June 30,  1996,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $462,657 of which $4,627 was  distributed  to the  managing  general
partner and $458,030 to the limited partners. Cash distributions to the partners
of  $462,657  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996  included  $2,906 to the
managing  general partner and $287,784 to the limited  partners,  resulting from
proceeds received in the litigation settlement, as discussed in Item 2.

It is expected  that future net cash  provided by operating  activities  will be
sufficient for any capital expenditures and any distributions. As the production
from the properties declines, distributions are also expected to decrease.
