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 5% to $763,278 from $806,460
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 13% decrease in mcf of gas
produced  and sold,  a 7%  decrease  in barrels of oil  produced  and sold and a
decrease  in the  average  price  received  per  barrel of oil,  offset by a 13%
increase in the average price  received per mcf of gas. For the six months ended
June 30, 1997,  24,318  barrels of oil were sold compared to 26,147 for the same
period in 1996, a decrease of 1,829  barrels.  For the six months ended June 30,
1997,  108,939  mcf of gas were sold  compared to 125,693 for the same period in
1996,  a decrease  of 16,754 mcf.  The  decreases  in  production  volumes  were
primarily due to the decline  characteristics  of the  Partnership's oil and gas
properties.  Because  of these  characteristics,  management  expects  a certain
amount  of  decline  in   production   to  continue  in  the  future  until  the
Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

                                        7

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased  slightly from $20.48 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $20.40 for the same period in 1997,  while
the average price  received per mcf of gas  increased  from $2.16 during the six
months  ended June 30, 1996 to $2.45 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 $14,656 and $28,740 was received  during the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, from the disposal of oil and gas equipment
on two fully depleted wells.

A gain of $39,034  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 $704,864, which included
$697,816, or $36.12 per limited partnership interest, to the Partnership and its
partners.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $591,980 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to $668,871 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of $76,891,
or 11%.  This  decrease  was due to  declines  in  production  costs,  abandoned
property costs, depletion, and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs  were  $390,336  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1997 and
$433,601  for the same period in 1996  resulting  in a $43,265  decrease or 10%.
This  decrease  was  primarily  due to a decline in well repair and  maintenance
costs.

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, 5% from $24,194 for the six months ended June 30, 1996
to $22,898 for the same period in 1997. The Partnership  agreement limits G&A to
3% of gross oil and gas revenues.

Depletion  was  $178,746  for the six months  ended June 30,  1997  compared  to
$183,153 for the same period in 1996. This represented a decline in depletion of
$4,407.

Abandoned  property  costs  during the six months  ended June 30,  1996  totaled
$27,923.  These  costs  were  incurred  in  association  with the  plugging  and
abandonment of two uneconomical wells.

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

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 18% to $340,203 from $415,925
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 15% decrease in the
average  price  received per barrel of oil, an 8% decrease in the average  price
received per mcf of gas, an 8% decline in mcf of gas produced and sold, and a 6%
decline in barrels of oil produced and sold. For the three months ended June 30,
1997,  11,927 barrels of oil were sold compared to 12,670 for the same period in
1996,  a decrease of 743  barrels.  For the three  months  ended June 30,  1997,
55,842 mcf of gas were sold  compared to 60,830 for the same  period in 1996,  a
decrease of 4,988 mcf. The decrease in  production  volumes was primarily due to
the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $3.25 from $22.07 for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1996 to $18.82 for the same period in 1997,  while
the average price  received per mcf of gas decreased from $2.24 during the three
months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.07 in 1997.

A gain of $39,034  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 $704,864, which included
$697,816, or $36.12 per limited partnership interest, to the Partnership and its
partners.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased to $297,858 for the three months ended June
30,  1997 as compared  to  $311,461  for the same period in 1996,  a decrease of
$13,603,  or 4%. This decrease was due to declines in abandoned  property costs,
production costs, G&A and depletion.

Production  costs were  $202,138  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997 and
$206,401  for the same  period  in 1996  resulting  in a $4,263  decrease.  This
decrease was primarily the result of less workover costs.

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,  18% from $12,478 for the three months ended June 30,
1996 to $10,206 for the same period in 1997.

Depletion  was $85,514  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997  compared to
$86,010 for the same period in 1996. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$496.

Abandoned  property  costs  during the three  months ended June 30, 1996 totaled
$6,572.  These  costs  were  incurred  in  association  with  the  plugging  and
abandonment of two uneconomical wells.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  decreased  $608,270  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  litigation  proceeds in 1996 as
discussed  in Item 2 and a  decline  in  production  costs  paid,  offset  by an
increase in oil and gas receipts.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

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

Proceeds from salvage income of $14,656 and $28,740 were received during the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively,  from the sale of oil and gas
equipment on one fully depleted well.

Proceeds of $39,318 were received during the six months ended June 30, 1996 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 $444,837 of which $4,448 was distributed to the
managing  general  partner and  $440,389 to the  limited  partner.  For the same
period  ended  June 30,  1996,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $977,461 of which $9,775 was  distributed  to the  managing  general
partner and $967,686 to the limited partners. Cash distributions to the partners
of  $977,461  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996  included  $7,048 to the
managing  general partner and $697,816 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.
