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

Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1996

Oil and gas sales for the  second  quarter  increased  to  $43,957  in 1996 from
$40,848 in 1995. This represents an increase of $3,109 (8%). Oil sales decreased
by $4,704  (10%).  A 12% decrease in the average oil sales price caused sales to
decrease by $5,478.  This decrease was partially  offset by a 2% increase in oil
production. Gas sales increased by $7,813 (156%). A 170% increase in the average
gas sales price increased sales by $8,820. This increase was partially offset by
a 20%  decrease in gas  production.  The decrease in average oil sales price was
primarily  the result of higher net profits  payments  on the Shana  acquisition
which had a pump  replaced  on the  Dorothy  Stevens #4 well in 1995,  partially
offset by higher prices in the overall  market for the sale of oil. The increase
in the average gas sales price was  primarily the result of higher prices in the
overall  market  for  the  sale  of gas  coupled  with  higher  production  from
properties  with a relatively  higher gas price.  The higher oil  production was
primarily the result of higher production from the Shana acquisition,  which was
partially  shut-in in 1995 for a pump  replacement,  partially offset by natural
production  declines.  The lower gas  production was primarily the result of the
shut-in of  non-economic  wells in the Pecan  Island  acquisition,  coupled with
natural production declines.

Lease operating  expenses decreased to $21,125 in 1996 from $22,084 in 1995. The
decrease of $959 (4%) is primarily due to charges  incurred to replace a pump on
the Shana  acquisition  in the second quarter of 1996,  partially  offset by the
changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense decreased to $4,431 in the second quarter of
1996 from $11,807 in the second quarter of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of
$7,376.  The  changes in  production,  noted  above,  reduced  depreciation  and
depletion  expense  by  $122.  A 62%  decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional  $7,254. The decrease in the
depletion rate was primarily due to the lower property basis  resulting from the
recognition  of an $88,363  property  impairment  in the first  quarter of 1996,
partially  offset by a  downward  revision  of the oil and gas  reserves  during
December 1995.

General and  administrative  expenses increased to $6,109 in 1996 from $5,794 in
1995.  This  increase  of $315 (5%) is  primarily  due to more  staff time being
required to manage the Company's operations in 1996.

First Six Months in 1995 Compared to First Six Months in 1996

Oil and gas sales for the first six  months  decreased  to  $77,120 in 1996 from
$80,236 in 1995.  This represents a decrease of $3,116 (4%). Oil sales decreased
by $19,885  (23%). A 12% decrease in the average oil sales price caused sales to
decrease  by  $8,673.  A 13%  decrease  in oil  production  reduced  sales by an
additional  $11,212.  Gas sales increased by $16,769 (382%).  A 526% increase in
the average gas sales  price  increased  sales by  $17,289.  This  increase  was
partially  offset by a 34% decrease in gas  production.  The decrease in average
oil sales price was primarily  the result of higher net profits  payments on the
Shana acquisition which had a pump

replaced  on the  Dorothy  Stevens #4 well in 1995,  partially  offset by higher
prices in the overall  market for the sale of oil.  The  increase in the average
gas sales price was primarily the result of higher prices in the overall  market
for the sale of gas  coupled  with  higher  production  from  properties  with a
relatively  higher gas price.  The lower oil production was primarily the result
of natural  production  declines.  The lower gas  production  was  primarily the
result of the shut-in of  non-economic  wells in the Pecan  Island  acquisition,
coupled with natural production declines.

Lease operating  expenses decreased to $43,579 in 1996 from $45,860 in 1995. The
decrease of $2,281 (5%) is primarily  due to charges  incurred to replace a pump
on the Shana acquisition in the second quarter of 1996,  partially offset by the
changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased to $8,168 in the first six months
of 1996 from $25,523 in the first six months of 1995. This represents a decrease
of $17,355 (68%). The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced depreciation
and depletion  expense by $4,000.  A 62% decrease in the depletion  rate reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $13,355. The decrease in the
depletion rate was primarily due to the lower property basis  resulting from the
recognition  of an $88,363  property  impairment  in the first  quarter of 1996,
partially  offset by a  downward  revision  of the oil and gas  reserves  during
December 1995.

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has issued  Statement  of Financial
Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS")  No.  121,  "Accounting  for  the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Long- Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which requires
certain assets to be reviewed for impairment  whenever  events or  circumstances
indicate the carrying  amount may not be  recoverable.  In the first  quarter of
1996,  the Company  recognized  a non-cash  impairment  provision of $88,363 for
certain  oil and gas  properties  due to market  indications  that the  carrying
amounts were not fully recoverable.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $13,177 in 1996 from $14,739 in
1995.  This  decrease of $1,562 (11%) is primarily  due to less staff time being
required to manage the Company's operations in 1996.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's cash flow from  operations is a direct result of the amount of net
proceeds  realized  from the sale of oil and gas  production.  Accordingly,  the
changes in cash flow from 1995 to 1996 are  primarily  due to the changes in oil
and  gas  sales  described  above.  It is the  general  partner's  intention  to
distribute  substantially  all of  the  Company's  available  cash  flow  to the
Company's partners.

The  Company  discontinued  the payment of  distributions  during  1995.  Future
distributions  are dependent  upon,  among other  things,  an increase in prices
received for oil and gas. The Company will  continue to recover its reserves and
distribute  to the limited  partners the net proceeds  realized form the sale of
oil and gas  production.  Distribution  amounts  are  subject  to  change if net
revenues are greater or less than expected.  Future periodic  distributions will
be made once sufficient net revenues are  accumulated.

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.  The
terms  and  conditions  of the  proposed  consolidation  are set  forth  in such
preliminary proxy material.

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