PART I
Item 1. Business
General Description of Partnership
Swift Energy Income Partners 1986-D, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership
(the "Partnership" or the "Registrant"), is a partnership formed under a public
serial limited partnership offering denominated Swift Energy Income Partners II
(Registration Statement No. 33-1875 on Form S-1, originally declared effective
January 14, 1986, and amended effective October 8, 1986 [the "Registration
Statement"]). The Partnership was formed effective January 9, 1987 under a
Limited Partnership Agreement dated January 6, 1987. The initial 1,580 limited
partners made capital contributions of $14,121,095.
The Partnership is principally engaged in the business of acquiring,
developing and, when appropriate, disposing of working interests in proven oil
and gas properties within the continental United States. The Partnership does
not engage in exploratory drilling. Each working interest held by the
Partnership entitles the Partnership to receive, in kind or in value, a share of
the production of oil and gas from the producing property, and obligates the
Partnership to participate in the operation of the property and to bear its
proportionate share of all operating costs associated therewith. The Partnership
typically holds less than the entire working interest in its producing
properties.
At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had expended or committed to
expend 100% of the limited partners' net commitments (i.e., limited partners'
commitments available to the Partnership for property acquisitions after payment
of organization fees and expenses) in the acquisition and development of
producing properties, which properties are described under Item 2, "Properties,"
below. The Partnership's revenues and profits are derived almost entirely from
the sale of oil and gas produced from its properties and from the sale of
acquired oil and gas properties, when the sale of such properties is
economically preferable to continued operation.
The Partnership's business and affairs are conducted by its Managing
General Partner, Swift Energy Company, a Texas corporation ("Swift"). The
Partnership's Special General Partner, VJM Corporation, a California corporation
("VJM"), consults with and advises Swift as to certain financial matters. Swift
is the designated operator of many of the properties in which the Partnership
owns interests. The remaining properties are operated by industry operators
designated by the owners of a majority of the working interest in each property.
The general manner in which the Partnership acquires producing
properties and otherwise conducts its business is described in detail in the
Registration Statement under "Proposed Activities," which is incorporated herein
by reference.
Competition, Markets and Regulations
Competition
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive in all its phases. The
Partnership encounters strong competition from many other oil and gas producers,
many of which possess substantial financial resources, in acquiring economically
desirable Producing Properties.
Markets
The amounts of and price obtainable for oil and gas production from
Partnership Properties will be affected by market factors beyond the control of
the Partnership. Such factors include the extent of domestic production, the
level of imports of foreign oil and gas, the general level of market demand on a
regional, national and worldwide basis, domestic and foreign economic conditions
that determine levels of industrial production, political events in foreign
oil-producing regions, and variations in governmental regulations and tax laws
and the imposition of new governmental requirements upon the oil and gas
industry. There can be no assurance that oil and gas prices will not decrease in
the future, thereby decreasing net Revenues from Partnership Properties.
I-1
<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1986-D, LTD.
From time to time, there may exist a surplus of natural gas or oil
supplies, the effect of which may be to reduce the amount of hydrocarbons that
the Partnerships may produce and sell while such oversupply exists. In recent
years, initial steps have been taken to provide additional gas transportation
lines from Canada to the United States. If additional Canadian gas is brought to
the United States market, it could create downward pressure on United States gas
prices.
Regulations
Environmental Regulation
The federal government and various state and local governments have
adopted laws and regulations regarding the control of contamination of the
environment. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit
by Operators before drilling commences, prohibit drilling activities on certain
lands lying within wilderness areas or where pollution arises and impose
substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations, particularly
operations near or in onshore and offshore waters or on submerged lands. These
laws and regulations may also increase the costs of routine drilling and
operation of wells. Because these laws and regulations change frequently, the
costs to the Partnership of compliance with existing and future environmental
regulations cannot be predicted. However, the Managing Partner does not believe
that the Partnership is affected in a significantly different manner by these
regulations than are its competitors in the oil and gas industry.
Federal Regulation of Natural Gas
The transportation and sale of natural gas in interstate commerce is
heavily regulated by agencies of the federal government. The following
discussion is intended only as a summary of the principal statutes, regulations
and orders that may affect the production and sale of natural gas from
Partnership Properties. This summary should not be relied upon as a complete
review of applicable natural gas regulatory provisions.
FERC Orders
Several major regulatory changes have been implemented by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") from 1985 to the present that affect the
economics of natural gas production, transportation and sales. In addition, the
FERC continues to promulgate revisions to various aspects of the rules and
regulations affecting those segments of the natural gas industry that remain
subject to the FERC's jurisdiction. In April 1992, the FERC issued Order No. 636
pertaining to pipeline restructuring. This rule requires interstate pipelines to
unbundle transportation and sales services by separately stating the price of
each service and by providing customers only the particular service desired,
without regard to the source for purchase of the gas. The rule also requires
pipelines to (i) provide nondiscriminatory "no-notice" service allowing firm
commitment shippers to receive delivery of gas on demand up to certain limits
without penalties, (ii) establish a basis for release and reallocation of firm
upstream pipeline capacity and (iii) provide non-discriminatory access to
capacity by firm transportation shippers on a downstream pipeline. The rule
requires interstate pipelines to use a straight fixed variable rate design. The
rule imposes these same requirements upon storage facilities.
FERC Order No. 500 affects the transportation and marketability of
natural gas. Traditionally, natural gas has been sold by producers to pipeline
companies, which then resold the gas to end-users. FERC Order No. 500 alters
this market structure by requiring interstate pipelines that transport gas for
others to provide transportation service to producers, distributors and all
other shippers of natural gas on a nondiscriminatory, "first-come, first-served"
basis ("open access transportation"), so that producers and other shippers can
sell natural gas directly to end-users. FERC Order No. 500 contains additional
provisions intended to promote greater competition in natural gas markets.
It is not anticipated that the marketability of and price obtainable
for natural gas production from Partnership Properties will be significantly
affected by FERC Order No. 500. Gas produced from Partnership Properties
normally will be sold to intermediaries who have entered into transportation
arrangements with pipeline companies. These intermediaries will accumulate gas
purchased from a number of producers and sell the gas to end-users through open
access pipeline transportation.

SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1986-D, LTD.
State Regulations
Production of any oil and gas from Partnership Properties will be
affected to some degree by state regulations. Many states in which the
Partnership will operate have statutory provisions regulating the production and
sale of oil and gas, including provisions regarding deliverability. Such
statutes, and the regulations promulgated in connection therewith, are generally
intended to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights to
produce oil and gas between owners of a common reservoir. Certain state
regulatory authorities also regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by
assigning allowable rates of production to each well or proration unit.
Federal Leases
Some of the Partnership's properties are located on federal oil and gas
leases administered by various federal agencies, including the Bureau of Land
Management. Various regulations and orders affect the terms of leases,
exploration and development plans, methods of operation and related matters.
Employees
The Partnership has no employees. Swift, however, has a staff of
geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers, landmen, and accounting
personnel who administer the operations of Swift and the Partnership. As of
December 31, 1996, Swift had 191 employees. Swift's administrative and overhead
expenses attributable to the Partnership's operations are borne by the
Partnership.

SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1986-D, LTD.
Item 2. Properties
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has acquired interests in
producing oil and gas properties which are generally described below.
Principal Oil and Gas Producing Properties
The most valuable fields in the Partnership, based upon year-end
engineering estimates of discounted future net revenues using constant pricing
and costs, are described below.
1. Approximately 64% of total value is from the Giddings Field in
Fayette and Burleson Counties, Texas (NRG acquisition). The wells produce from
the Austin Chalk and Edwards horizons.
The remaining value in the Partnership is attributable to numerous
properties none of which equals or exceeds 15 percent of the total Partnership
value.
Title to Properties
Title to substantially all significant producing properties of the
Partnership has been examined. The properties are subject to royalty, overriding
royalty and other interests customary in the industry. The Managing General
Partner does not believe any of these burdens materially detract from the value
of the properties or will materially detract from the value of the properties or
materially interfere with their use in the operation of the business of the
Partnership.
Production and Sales Price
The following table summarizes the sales volumes of the Partnership's
net oil and gas production expressed in MCFs. Equivalent MCFs are obtained by
converting oil to gas on the basis of their relative energy content; one barrel
equals 6,000 cubic feet of gas.

Revisions of previous quantity estimates are related to upward or
downward variations based on current engineering information for production
rates, volumetrics and reservoir pressure. Additionally, changes in quantity
estimates are the result of the increase or decrease in crude oil and natural
gas prices at each year end which have the effect of adding or reducing proved
reserves on marginal properties due to economic limitations.

</TABLE>
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of
proved reserves and in projecting the future rates of production, timing and
plan of development. Oil and gas reserve engineering must be recognized as a
subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that
cannot be measured in an exact way, and estimates of other engineers might
differ from those above, audited by H. J. Gruy and Associates, Inc., an
independent petroleum consulting firm. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a
function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological
interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing and production
subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate,
and, as a general rule, reserve estimates based upon volumetric analysis are
inherently less reliable than those based on lengthy production history.
Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil
and gas that are ultimately recovered.
In estimating the oil and natural gas reserves, the Registrant, in
accordance with criteria prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
has used prices received as of December 31, 1996 without escalation, except in
those instances where fixed and determinable gas price escalations are covered
by contracts, limited to the price the Partnership reasonably expects to
receive. The Registrant does not believe that any favorable or adverse event
causing a significant change in the estimated quantity of proved reserves has
occurred between December 31, 1996 and the date of this report.
Future prices received for the sale of the Partnership's product may be
higher or lower than the prices used in the evaluation described above; the
operating costs relating to such production may also increase or decrease from
existing levels. The estimates presented above are in accordance with rules
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART II
Item 5. Market Price of and Distributions on the Registrant's Units and Related
Limited Partner Matters
Market Information
Units in the Partnership were initially sold at a price of $1,000 per
Unit. Units are not traded on any exchange and there is no established public
trading market for the Units. Swift is aware of negotiated transfers of Units
between unrelated parties; however, these transfers have been limited and
sporadic. Due to the nature of these transactions, Swift has no verifiable
information regarding prices at which Units have been transferred.
Holders
As of December 31, 1996, there were 1,580 Limited Partners holding
Units in the Partnership.
Distributions
The Partnership generally makes distributions to Limited Partners on a
quarterly basis, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Limited
Partnership Agreement. In the fiscal years ending December 31, 1995 and 1996,
the Partnership distributed a total of $180,100 and $106,000, respectively, to
holders of its Units. Cash distributions constitute net proceeds from sale of
oil and gas production after payment of lease operating expenses and other
partnership expenses. Some or all of such amounts or any proceeds from the sale
of partnership properties could be deemed to constitute a return of investors'
capital.
Oil and gas investments involve a high risk of loss, and no assurance
can be given that any particular level of distributions to holders of Units can
be achieved or maintained. Although it is anticipated that quarterly
distributions will continue to be made through 1997, the Partnership's ability
to make distributions could be diminished by any event adversely affecting the
oil and gas properties in which the Partnership owns interests or the amount of
revenues received by the Partnership therefrom.
The Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement contains various
provisions which might serve to delay, defer or prevent a change in control of
the Partnership, such as the requirement of a vote of Limited Partners in order
to sell all or substantially all of the Partnership's properties or the
requirement of consent by the Managing General Partner to transfers of limited
partnership interests.

</TABLE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership has expended all of the partners' net commitments
available for property acquisitions ("net commitments") and development by
acquiring producing oil and gas properties. The partnership invests primarily in
proved producing properties with nominal levels of future costs of development
for proven but undeveloped reserves. Significant purchases of additional
reserves or extensive drilling activity are not anticipated. Oil and gas
reserves are depleting assets and therefore often experience significant
production declines each year from the date of acquisition through the end of
the life of the property. The primary source of liquidity to the Partnership
comes almost entirely from the income generated from the sale of oil and gas
produced from ownership interests in oil and gas properties. This source of
liquidity and the related results of operations will decline in future periods
as the oil and gas produced from these properties also declines.
Subject to 1997 market conditions remaining comparable with 1996, the
Managing General Partner ("MGP") anticipates an increase in liquidity provided
that certain development work scheduled in 1997 is completed successfully. The
Partnership plans to spend in the next two years an estimated $268,000 for
capital expenditures needed for this development work and the enhancement of
proved oil and gas reserves. The MGP anticipates that the Partnership will have
adequate liquidity from income from continuing operations to satisfy any future
capital expenditure requirements. Funds generated from bank borrowings and
proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties will be used to supplement this
effort if deemed necessary.
Results of Operations
Oil and gas sales increased 19 percent in 1996 vs. 1995. Increases in
both 1996 gas and oil prices were major contributors to the increased revenues.
The Partnership experienced an increase in gas prices of 44 percent or $.68/MCF
and an increase in oil prices of 22 percent or $3.58/BBL. The average sales
price per equivalent MCF increased 37 percent in 1996. Production volumes
decreased 25 percent due to a 26 percent gas production decrease and a 22
percent oil production decline. The production declines partially offset the
effect of increased oil and gas prices impacting partnership performance.
Production cost per equivalent MCF decreased 7 percent in 1996 compared
to 1995 and total production costs decreased 30 percent in 1996.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 18 percent in 1996 when
compared to 1995.
Oil and gas sales decreased 25 percent in 1995 vs. 1994. Production
volumes decreased 16 percent due to a 14 percent gas production decrease and a
23 percent oil production decline. Since the Partnership's reserves are 75
percent gas, the decrease in gas production, due to accelerated production
declines on mature wells, had a major impact on partnership performance. A
decline in the 1995 gas prices of 20 percent or $.39/MCF further contributed to
the Partnership's decreased revenues. The average sales price per equivalent MCF
decreased 11 percent in 1995.
II-2
<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1986-D, LTD.
Production cost per equivalent MCF increased 20 percent in 1995
compared to 1994. In addition, total production costs decreased a slight
percent in 1995.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 23 percent in 1995 when
compared to 1994.
The Partnership recorded an additional provision in depreciation,
depletion and amortization in 1995 and 1994 when the present value, discounted
at ten percent, of estimated future net revenues from oil and gas properties,
using the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission, was below the
fair market value paid for oil and gas properties resulting in a full cost
ceiling impairment.
During 1997, Partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
limited and general partners in a 90:10 ratio, based on the annualized rate of
cash distributions by the Partnership during a certain period prior to December
31, 1996. Based on current oil and gas prices, current levels of oil and gas
production and expected cash distributions during 1997, the MGP anticipates that
the Partnership sharing ratio will continue to be 90:10.

From time to time, Swift as Managing General Partner of the Partnership
purchases Units in the Partnership from investors who offer the Units pursuant
to their right of presentment, which purchases are made pursuant to terms set
out in the Partnership's original Limited Partnership Agreement. Due to the
frequency and large number of these transactions, Swift reports these
transactions under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on an
annual rather than a monthly basis. In some cases such annual reporting may
constitute a late filing of the required Section 16 reports under the applicable
Section 16 rules.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
As noted in Item 10, "Directors and Executive Officers of the
Registrant," above, the Partnership has no executive officers. The executive
officers of Swift and VJM are not compensated by the Partnership.
Certain fees and allowances contemplated by the Limited Partnership
Agreement have been paid by the Partnership to Swift and VJM. See Note (4) in
Notes To Financial Statements (Related-Party Transactions) for further
discussion.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
Swift Energy Company, the Managing General Partner, located at 16825
Northchase Drive, Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77060, owns 3,213 Limited
Partnership Units, which is 22.75 percent of all outstanding Limited Partnership
Units. All Limited Partnership Units owned by Swift were acquired from investors
who offered the Limited Partnership Units pursuant to their right of
presentment. As the Managing General Partner, Swift is not permitted generally,
under the Limited Partnership Agreement, to vote its Limited Partnership Units.
Swift also owns a general partnership interest of 9 percent of all partnership
interests in the Partnership.
Swift and VJM are not aware of any arrangement, the operation of which
may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Partnership.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
As noted in Item 10, "Directors and Executive Officers of the
Registrant," above, the Partnership has no executive officers or directors, and
thus has not engaged in any transactions in which any such person had an
interest. The Partnership is permitted to engage in certain transactions with
Swift as Managing General Partner and VJM as Special General Partner, subject to
extensive guidelines and restrictions described in the "Conflicts of Interest"
section of the Amended Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, which
is incorporated herein by reference.
Summarized below are the principal transactions that have occurred
between the Partnership and Swift, VJM and their affiliates.
1. The oil and gas properties acquired by the Partnership, as described
in Item 2, "Properties" above, were typically acquired initially by Swift from
the seller thereof and subsequently transferred to the Partnership. Such
transfers were made by Swift at its Property Acquisition Costs (as defined in
the Limited Partnership Agreement), less any amounts received from sale of
production between the time of acquisition by Swift and the time of sale to the
Partnership.
2. Swift acts as operator for many of the wells in which the
Partnership has acquired interests and has received compensation for such
activities in accordance with standard industry operating agreements.
3. The Partnership paid to Swift and VJM certain fees as contemplated
by the Limited Partnership Agreement. See Note (4) in Notes To Financial
Statements (Related-Party Transactions) for further discussion.

SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1986-D, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Organization and Terms of Partnership Agreement -
Swift Energy Income Partners 1986-D, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership
(the Partnership), was formed on January 9, 1987, for the purpose of purchasing
and operating producing oil and gas properties within the continental United
States. Swift Energy Company ("Swift"), a Texas corporation, and VJM Corporation
("VJM"), a California corporation, serve as Managing General Partner and Special
General Partner of the Partnership, respectively. The general partners are
required to contribute up to 1/99th of limited partner net contributions. The
1,580 limited partners made total capital contributions of $14,121,095.
Property acquisition costs and the management fee are borne 99 percent
by the limited partners and one percent by the general partners. Organization
and syndication costs were borne solely by the limited partners.
Initially, all continuing costs (including development costs, operating
costs, general and administrative reimbursements and direct expenses) and
revenues are allocated 85 percent to the limited partners and 15 percent to the
general partners. After a certain period of Partnership operations, but prior to
Partnership payout, as defined, one-third of these costs and revenues otherwise
allocable to the general partners will be reallocated to the limited partners if
the cash distribution rate (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) is less
than 17.5 percent. Through December 31, 1988, the Partnership's continuing costs
and revenues were allocated 85 percent to the limited partners and 15 percent to
the general partners. Thereafter one-third of the general partners' share was
reallocated to the limited partners as the cash distribution rate fell below
17.5 percent. Payout had not occurred as of December 31, 1996.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies -
Use of Estimates --
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
estimates.
Oil and Gas Properties --
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership follows the
"full-cost" method of accounting for oil and gas property costs. Under this
method of accounting, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in the
acquisition and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs
include lease acquisitions, geological and geophysical services, drilling,
completion, equipment and certain general and administrative costs directly
associated with acquisition and development activities. General and
administrative costs related to production and general overhead are expensed as
incurred. No general and administrative costs were capitalized during the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
Future development, site restoration, dismantlement and abandonment
costs, net of salvage values, are estimated on a property-by-property basis
based on current economic conditions and are amortized to expense as the
Partnership's capitalized oil and gas property costs are amortized.
The unamortized cost of oil and gas properties is limited to the
"ceiling limitation", (calculated separately for the Partnership, limited
partners, and general partners). The "ceiling limitation" is calculated on a
quarterly basis and represents the estimated future net revenues from proved
properties using current prices, discounted at ten percent, and the lower of
cost or fair value of unproved properties. Proceeds from the sale or disposition
of oil and gas properties are treated as a reduction of oil and gas property
costs with no gains or losses being recognized except in significant
transactions.
IV-7
<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1986-D, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Partnership computes the provision for depreciation, depletion and
amortization of oil and gas properties on the units-of-production method. Under
this method, the provision is calculated by multiplying the total unamortized
cost of oil and gas properties, including future development, site restoration,
dismantlement and abandonment costs, by an overall amortization rate that is
determined by dividing the physical units of oil and gas produced during the
period by the total estimated units of proved oil and gas reserves at the
beginning of the period.
The calculation of the "ceiling limitation" and the provision for
depreciation, depletion and amortization is based on estimates of proved
reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of
proved reserves and in projecting the future rates of production, timing and
plan of development. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the
quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and
judgment. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of
the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve
estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are
ultimately recovered.
Statements of Cash Flows --
Highly liquid debt instruments with an initial maturity of three months
or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
(3) Oil and Gas Capitalized Costs -
The following table sets forth capital expenditures related to the
Partnership's oil and gas operations:
<TABLE>

Year Ended December 31,
---------------------------------------------
1996 1995 1994

Acquisition of

----------- --------- --------
$ 70,762 $ 164,265 $108,820
----------- ---------- --------
</TABLE>
All oil and gas property acquisitions are made by Swift on behalf of
the Partnership. The costs of the properties include the purchase price plus any
costs incurred by Swift in the evaluation and acquisition of properties.
During 1995 and 1994, the Partnership's unamortized oil and gas
property costs exceeded the quarterly calculations of the "ceiling limitation"
resulting in additional provisions for depreciation, depletion and amortization
of $525,447 and $397,382, respectively. In computing the Partnership's third
quarter 1994 "ceiling limitation", the Partnership utilized the product prices
in effect at the date of the filing of the Partnership's report on Form 10-Q.
Utilizing these subsequent prices, no write down was required by the
Partnership. The write down would have been $471,819 using product prices in
effect at September 30, 1994. No such write downs were required in 1996.
IV-8
<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1986-D, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In addition, the limited partners' share of unamortized oil and gas
property costs exceeded their "ceiling limitation" in 1995 and 1994, resulting
in a valuation allowance of $465,667 and $330,947, respectively. These amounts
are included in the income (loss) attributable to the limited partners shown in
the statements of partners' capital together with "combining adjustments" for
the differences between the limited partners' valuation allowances and the
Partnership's valuation allowances. The "combining adjustments" change quarterly
as the Partnership's total depreciation, depletion and amortization provision is
more or less than the combined depreciation, depletion and amortization
provision attributable to general and limited partners.
(4) Related-Party Transactions -
An affiliate of the Special General Partner, as Dealer Manager,
received $353,027 for managing and overseeing the offering of limited
partnership units.
A one-time management fee of $353,027 was paid to Swift in 1987 for
services performed for the Partnership. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
Partnership paid Swift $107,566, $44,366 and $71,124, respectively, as general
and administrative overhead allowances.
(5) Note Payable to a Bank -
Note payable to a bank at December 31, 1996 and 1995 follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1996 1995
-------- --------
<S> <C> <C>

Note payable at 1.25% above the bank's base

1996), collateralized by partnership assets $ -- $ 25,000
Less: Current portion -- (25,000)
-------- --------
Long-term portion $ -- $ --
-------- --------
</TABLE>
Note was paid in full at maturity. As provided by the Partnership
Agreement, the note payable was obtained to fund development wells. As of
December 31, 1996, the Partnership had no outstanding note payable to a Bank.
(6) Federal Income Taxes -
The Partnership is not a tax-paying entity. No provision is made in the
accounts of the Partnership for federal or state income taxes, since such taxes
are liabilities of the individual partners, and the amounts thereof depend upon
their respective tax situations.
The tax returns and the amount of distributable Partnership income are
subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities. If the
Partnership's ordinary income for federal income tax purposes is ultimately
changed by the taxing authorities, the tax liability of the limited partners
could be changed accordingly. Ordinary income reported on the Partnership's
federal return of income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
was $469,266, $254,570 and $416,477, respectively. The difference between
ordinary income for federal income tax purposes reported by the Partnership and
net income or loss reported herein primarily results from the exclusion of
depletion (as described below) from ordinary income reported in the
Partnership's federal return of income.
IV-9
<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1986-D, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For federal income tax purposes, depletion with respect to production
of oil and gas is computed separately by the partners and not by the
Partnership. Since the amount of depletion on the production of oil and gas is
not computed at the Partnership level, depletion is not included in the
Partnership's income for federal income tax purposes but is charged directly to
the partners' capital accounts to the extent of the cost of the leasehold
interests, and thus is treated as a separate item on the partners' Schedule K-1.
Depletion for federal income tax purposes may vary from that computed for
financial reporting purposes in cases where a ceiling adjustment is recorded, as
such amount is not recognized for tax purposes.
(7) Gas Imbalances -
The gas imbalance receivable and deferred revenues represent imbalances
assumed as part of property acquisitions. The imbalances are accounted for on
the entitlements method, whereby the Partnership records its share of revenue,
based on its entitled amount. Any amounts over or under the entitled amount are
recorded as an increase or decrease to the gas imbalance receivable or deferred
revenues as applicable. Interest expense, presented in the accompanying
statements of operations, includes amortization of the discount recorded on gas
imbalance liabilities assumed in property acquisitions ($15,404 in 1995 and
$14,219 in 1994).
(8) Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations -
The Partnership's revenues are primarily the result of sales of its oil
and natural gas production. Market prices of oil and natural gas may fluctuate
and adversely affect operating results.
The Partnership extends credit to various companies in the oil and gas
industry which results in a concentration of credit risk. This concentration of
credit risk may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions and may
accordingly impact the Partnership's overall credit risk. However, the Managing
General Partner believes that the risk is mitigated by the size, reputation, and
nature of the companies to which the Partnership extends credit. In addition,
the Partnership generally does not require collateral or other security to
support customer receivables.
(9) Fair Value of Financial Instruments -
The Partnership's financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents and short-term receivables and payables. The carrying amounts
approximate fair value due to the highly liquid nature of the short-term
instruments.
