involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas.

Note 2.     Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements as of March 31,
1997 of the Partnership  include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of
normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation
of the results for the interim  period.  However,  these interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
statements and the notes thereto contained in the  Partnership's  Report on Form
10-K for the year ended  December 31,  1996,  as filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission,  a copy of which is  available  upon request by writing to
Steven L. Beal, Senior Vice President,  303 West Wall, Suite 101, Midland, Texas
79701.

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

Results of Operations

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased to $251,706 from $219,100 for
the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  an increase of
15%. The increase  resulted  from an 8% increase in mcf of gas produced and sold
and higher average prices received per barrel of oil and mcf of gas, offset by a
14% decline in barrels of oil  produced  and sold.  For the three  months  ended
March 31, 1997,  7,497  barrels of oil were sold  compared to 8,682 for the same
period in 1996,  a decrease of 1,185  barrels.  For the three months ended March
31, 1997,  28,299 mcf of gas were sold compared to 26,086 for the same period in
1996, an increase of 2,213 mcf. The decrease in barrels of oil produced and sold
was primarily due to the decline  characteristics  of the  Partnership's oil and
gas properties.   The increase in mcf of gas produced and sold was the result of

operational  changes on several  wells.  Management  expects a certain amount of
decline  in  production  in the  future  until  the  Partnership's  economically
recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $2.33,  or 12%,  from
$19.04 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 to $21.37 for the same period
in 1997.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased  57% from $2.06
during the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 to $3.23 for the same period 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 three
months ended March 31, 1997.

Salvage income received from equipment disposals of $948 during the three months
ended March 31, 1996, was derived from equipment  credits received on wells that
were plugged and abandoned in prior years.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  decreased to $158,198 for the three months ended March
31,  1997 as compared  to  $185,875  for the same period in 1996,  a decrease of
$27,677,  or 15%. This decrease was the result of a decline in production costs,
offset by increases in general and  administrative  expenses ("G&A"),  depletion
and abandoned property costs.

Production  costs were  $111,612  for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 and
$148,694 for the same period in 1996  resulting in a $37,082  decrease,  or 25%.
The decrease was primarily attributable to declines in workover expense and 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
increased,  in  aggregate,  14% from $6,552 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 to $7,500 for the same period in 1997.

Depletion  was $31,985  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997  compared to
$30,629 for the same period in 1996.  This  represented an increase in depletion
of $1,356,  or 4%. The increase was primarily due to a downward  revision of oil
and gas reserves, offset by a decline in oil production of 1,185 barrels for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from the same period in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating  activities  increased  $163,949 during the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from the same period in 1996.  This increase was the
result  of  an  increase  in  oil  and  gas  sales  receipts  and a  decline  in
expenditures for production costs.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's  principal investing  activities during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 were  related to the addition or disposal of oil and gas
equipment on active properties.

Proceeds  from salvage  income of $1,102 were  received  during the three months
ended March 31, 1996 from the disposal of oil and gas  equipment  on  properties
abandoned in prior years.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was  sufficient  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 to  cover
distributions  to the partners of $153,784 of which $152,390 was  distributed to
the limited partners and $1,394 to the managing  general  partner.  For the same
period  ended March 31,  1996,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $104,399 of which $103,623 was  distributed to the limited  partners
and $776 to the managing general partner.

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.
