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

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2000 with six months ended

  June 30, 1999

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues  increased 102% to $1,357,075 for the six
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $671,386 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues  resulted from higher  average  prices  received and an
increase in production.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  32,573 barrels
of oil,  19,149 barrels of  natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and  84,978 mcf of gas

                                        7

were sold,  or 65,885  barrel of oil  equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the six months
ended June 30, 1999,  30,733  barrels of oil,  18,546 barrels of NGLs and 90,088
mcf of gas were sold, or 64,294 BOEs.

The average price  received per barrel of oil increased  $14.21,  or 108%,  from
$13.20 for the six months  ended June 30,  1999 to $27.41 for the same period in
2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $7.37,  or 102%,
from  $7.26  during the six  months  ended June 30,  1999 to $14.63 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 49% from
$1.46  during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.17 for the same period in
2000. 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, 2000.

The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant
impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in
additional  decreases to the  carrying  value of the  Partnership's  oil and gas
properties.

Gain on disposition of assets of $5,861  recognized  during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 was due to equipment credits received on a fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $663,843 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 as  compared  to  $643,652  for the same  period  ended June 30,  1999,  an
increase of $20,191,  or 3%. This  increase was due to  increases in  production
costs and general and  administrative  expenses ("G&A"),  offset by a decline in
depletion.

Production  costs  were  $527,318  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 and
$455,004  for the same period in 1999  resulting  in an increase of $72,314,  or
16%. The increase  was the result of higher  production  taxes due to higher oil
and gas prices and additional well maintenance  costs incurred 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
increased,  in  aggregate,  100% from  $20,141 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 to $40,316 for the same period in 2000 primarily due to a higher allocation
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated  (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion  was  $96,209  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000  compared  to
$168,507  for the same  period in 1999,  a decrease  of  $72,298,  or 43%.  This
decrease  was the result of an  increase  in proved  reserves  during the period
ended June 30, 2000 due to higher commodity prices, offset by an increase in oil
production  of 1,840  barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
the same period in 1999.

Three months ended June 30, 2000 compared with three months ended June 30, 1999

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased 93% to $708,134 for the three
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $367,387 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues  resulted from higher  average  prices  received and an
increase in production. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, 16,239 barrels
of oil,  10,298 barrels of NGLs and 44,352 mcf of gas were sold, or 33,929 BOEs.
For the three months ended June 30, 1999,  14,427  barrels of oil, 9,753 barrels
of NGLs and 42,172 mcf of gas were sold, or 31,209 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $12.87,  or 87%, from
$14.77 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $27.64 for the same period in
2000.  The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $5.48,  or 63%,
from $8.73  during the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 to $14.21 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 55% from
$1.64  during the three  months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.55 for the same period
in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased to $326,923 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared  to  $298,544  for the same period in 1999,  an increase of
$28,379, or 10%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and G&A,
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production  costs were  $261,610  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 and
$233,876 for the same period in 1999  resulting in a $27,734  increase,  or 12%.
The increase was the result of higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas
prices  and  additional  well  maintenance  costs  incurred  to  stimulate  well
production.

During this period, G&A increased, in aggregate,  89% from $11,018 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $20,848 for the same period in 2000  primarily due
to a higher  allocation of the managing  general  partner's G&A being  allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas  revenues)  as a result of  increased  oil and gas
revenues.

Depletion  was $44,465  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000  compared to
$53,650 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $9,185, or 17%. This decrease
was primarily  attributable  to an increase in proved reserves during the period
ended  June 30,  2000 as a result  of  higher  commodity  prices,  offset  by an
increase in oil  production of 1,812 barrels for the three months ended June 30,
2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

                                        9

increase  was  primarily  due to an  increase  in oil and gas sales  receipts of

expenses paid of $21,266.
