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


Third Quarter 1996 Compared to Third Quarter 1995

Oil and gas  sales for the  third  quarter  increased  to  $37,042  in 1996 from
$28,282  in 1995.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $5,760  (18%).  Oil sales
increased  by $5,304  (20%).  A 33%  increase  in the  average  oil sales  price
increased  oil sales by $7,814.  This  increase  was  partially  offset by a 10%
decrease in oil production. Gas sales increased by $456 (11%). A 56% increase in
the  average  gas sales  price  increased  sales by $1,556.  This  increase  was
partially  offset by a 30%  decrease in gas  production.  The  increases  in the
average sales prices  correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale
of oil and gas.  The decrease in oil and gas  production  was  primarily  due to
natural production declines.

Lease operating  expenses for the third quarter decreased to $4,999 in 1996 from
$8,035 in 1995.  The  decrease  of $3,036 is  primarily  due to the  changes  in
production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased to $7,923 in the third quarter of
1996 from $15,504 in the third  quarter of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of
$7,581 (49%).  A 41% decrease in the  depletion  rate reduced  depreciation  and
depletion  expense by $5,562.  The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional  $2,019. The decrease in the
depletion rate is primarily the result of an upward  revision of the oil and gas
reserves during December 1995.

General and administrative  expenses incurred during the third quarter decreased
to $4,936 in 1996 from $5,324 in 1995.  This  decrease of $388 (7%) is primarily
due to less staff time being required to manage the Company's operations.


First Nine Months in 1996 Compared to First Nine Months in 1995

Oil and gas sales for the first nine months  increased  to $109,200 in 1996 from
$93,817  in 1995.  This  represents  an  increase  of $15,383  (16%).  Oil sales
increased by $9,893 (12%).  A 26% increase in average oil sales price  increased
sales by $19,427.  This increase was  partially  offset by a 12% decrease in oil
production.  Gas sales  increased by $5,703 (51%). A 43% increase in average gas
sales  prices  increased  sales  by  $5,006.  A 5%  increase  in gas  production
increased sales by an additional $484. The increases in the average sales prices
correspond  with changes in the overall  market for the sale of oil and gas. The
decrease in oil production was primarily due to natural production declines. The
increase in gas production  was primarily the result of the enhanced  production
improvements on the Concord acquisition.

Lease  operating  expenses  incurred  during the first nine months  decreased to
$17,003 in 1996 from $23,399 in 1995.  The decrease of $6,396 (27%) is primarily
due from the  settlement  of the  Company's  equity  investment  in an  electric
cooperative  which resulted from the purchase of electricity used on the Florida
acquisition while it was owned by the Company.

Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $29,892 in the first nine months
of 1996  from  $45,161  in the first  nine  months of 1995.  This  represents  a
decrease  of  $15,269  (34%).  A 28%  decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by $11,438. The changes in production,  noted
above,  reduced depreciation and depletion by an additional $3,831. The decrease
in the depletion  rate is primarily the result of an upward  revision of the oil
and gas reserves during December 1995.

General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  to  $18,992 in the first nine
months of 1996 from $13,277 in the first nine months of 1995.  This  increase of
$5,715 is  primarily  due to more  staff  time  being  required  to  manage  the
Company's operations.


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 issuance of additional
debt. Accordingly,  the changes in cash flow from 1995 to 1996 are primarily due
to the changes in oil and gas sales described above and the repayment of $10,204
on a note to the general partner in 1995. It is the general partner's  intention
to distribute  substantially all of the Company's  remaining available cash flow
to the Company's  partners.  The Company's  "available cash flow" is essentially
equal to the net amount of cash provided by operating activities.

On August 9, 1996, the Company's  General Partner  submitted  preliminary  proxy
material  to the  Securities  Exchange  Commission  with  respect  to a proposed
consolidation  of the Company with 33 other  managed  limited  partnerships.  On
November 13, 1996, the Company submitted  amended  preliminary proxy material to
the SEC with  respect  to this  consolidation  The terms and  conditions  of the
proposed consolidation are set forth in such preliminary proxy material.

The Company  discontinued the payment of  distributions in January 1994.  Future
distributions  are dependent upon, among other things, an increase in the prices
received for oil and gas. The Company will  continue to recover its reserves and
reduce its  obligations  in 1996.  Based on the December 31, 1995 reserve report
prepared by Gruy, there appears to be sufficient  future net revenues to pay all
obligations and expenses.  The General Partner does not intend to accelerate the
repayment  of the debt beyond the  Company's  cash flow  provided  by  operating
activities.  Based upon current projected cash flows from its property,  it does
not appear  that the  Company  will have  sufficient  cash to pay its  operating
expenses, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions in the near future.

As of September 30, 1996,  the Company had no material  commitments  for capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
