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  increased  slightly to $450,785  from
$448,800  for the six months  ended June 30,  1997 as compared to the six months
ended June 30,  1996.  The increase in revenues was the result of a 19% increase
in the mcf of gas produced and sold and a higher  average price received per mcf
of gas,  offset by a 15%  decline  in  barrels  of oil  produced  and sold and a
decline in the  average  price  received  per barrel of oil.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1997,  14,686 barrels of oil were sold compared to 17,243 for the
same period in 1996, a decrease of 2,557 barrels.  For the six months ended June
30, 1997,  54,483 mcf of gas were sold compared to 45,843 for the same period in
1996, an increase of 8,640 mcf. The decrease in oil  production  volumes was due

                                        7

<PAGE>



to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's properties.  The increase in
gas  production  volumes  was  due to  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  decreased 3% from $20.45 for the
six  months  ended  June 30,  1996 to $19.92  for the same  period in 1997.  The
average price  received per mcf of gas increased 38% to $2.90 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997  compared  to $2.10 for the same period in 1996.  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  received  from  equipment  disposals of $987 for the six months
ended June 30, 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 $326,310 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to $331,396  for the same period in 1996, a decrease of $5,086.
This  decrease  was  due  to   reductions  in  production   costs  and  loss  on
abandonments,  offset by increases in abandoned property costs,  depletion,  and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs  were  $214,446  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1997 and
$257,209 for the same period in 1996,  resulting in a $42,763 decrease,  or 17%.
The decrease was  primarily  attributable  to declines in workover  expenses 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
slightly,  from $13,464 for the six months  ended June 30, 1996,  to $13,523 for
the same period in 1997. The Partnership agreement limits G&A to 3% of gross oil
and gas revenues.

Depletion was $67,582 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $56,768
for the same  period in 1996.  This  represented  an increase  in  depletion  of
$10,814, or 19%, primarily attributable to a decline in oil reserves during 1997
as a result of lower commodity prices.

A loss on abandonment of $529 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 resulted
from the  abandonment of one oil and gas well.  During the six months ended June
30, 1996,  a loss on  abandoned  properties  of $2,579 was  attributable  to the
abandonment of one saltwater disposal well. Abandoned property expenses incurred
during the six months  ended June 30,  1997  totaled  $30,230,  as  compared  to
$1,376, for the same period in 1996.

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

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 13% to $199,079 from $229,700
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 16% decrease in barrels
of oil produced and sold and a decline in the average price  received per barrel
of oil,  offset by a  33% increase in mcf of gas  produced and sold and a higher
average price received per mcf of gas. For the three months ended June 30, 1997,
7,189  barrels of oil were sold compared to 8,562 for the same period in 1996, a
decrease of 1,373 barrels.  For the three months ended June 30, 1997, 26,184 mcf
of gas were sold  compared to 19,757 for the same period in 1996, an increase of
6,427  mcf.  The  decrease  in oil  production  volumes  was due to the  decline
characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. The increase in gas
production volumes was due to operational changes on several wells.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased  $3.46,  or 16%,  from
$21.88 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $18.42 for the same period in
1997,  while the average price  received per mcf of gas increased 19% from $2.15
during the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.55 in 1997.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased to $168,112 for the three months ended June
30, 1997 as compared  to  $145,521  for the same period in 1996,  an increase of
$22,591,  or 16%. This increase was due to increases in abandoned property costs
and  depletion,  offset by  declines  in  production  costs,  loss on  abandoned
property and G&A.

Production  costs were  $102,834  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997 and
$108,515 for the same period in 1996, resulting in a $5,681 decrease, or 5%. The
decrease was the result of reductions 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,  13% from $6,912 for the three  months ended June 30,
1996 to $6,023 for the same period in 1997.

Depletion  was $35,597  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997  compared to
$26,139 for the same period in 1996.  This  represented an increase in depletion
of $9,458,  or 36%,  primarily  attributable to a decline in oil reserves during
1997 as a result of lower commodity prices.

A loss on  abandonment  of $529  during the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997
resulted from the  abandonment of one oil and gas well.  During the three months
ended June 30, 1996, a loss on abandoned  properties of $2,579 was  attributable
to the abandonment of one saltwater  disposal well.  Abandoned property expenses
incurred  during  the three  months  ended June 30,  1997  totaled  $23,129,  as
compared to $1,376 for the same period in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  increased  $117,034  during the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from the same period in 1996.  This  increase was the
result of a decline  in  production  costs paid and an  increase  in oil and gas
sales receipts, offset by additional abandoned property expenses.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The  Partnership's  principal  investing  activities during the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 were related to the  additions or disposal of oil and gas
equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from equipment  salvage on the  abandonment of one well of $29,377 were
received for the six months ending June 30, 1997.  Proceeds from salvage  income
of $2,092 from the sale of oil and gas  equipment  on  properties  abandoned  in
prior years, were received during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was   sufficient  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997  to  cover
distributions to the partners of $280,041 of which $2,694 was distributed to the
managing  general  partner and  $277,347 to the limited  partners.  For the same
period  ended  June 30,  1996,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $193,796 of which $1,896 was  distributed  to the  managing  general
partner and $191,900 to the limited partners.

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.
