NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods.
2. 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.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1995
Oil and gas sales for the first quarter decreased from $39,388 in 1995 to
$33,163 in 1996. This represents a decrease of $6,225 (16%). Oil sales decreased
$15,181 or 39%. A 25% decrease in oil production reduced sales by $9,622, while
a 19% decrease in average oil prices reduced sales by an additional $5,559. Gas
sales increased by $8,956 or 1,478%. A 2,652% increase in average gas prices
increased sales by $9,215. This increase was partially offset by a 43% decrease
in gas production. The decrease in oil production was primarily the result of
the Company not participating in a workover on the L.L. Butler well in the
Hightower acquisition. The lower average oil price was a result of a relatively
higher production of oil from wells with a relatively lower sales price,
partially offset by higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil. The
lower gas production was primarily the result of the shut-in of production from
the Dorothy Stevens #1 well in the Shana acquisition. The higher average gas
price was a result of a relatively lower net profits payout on the Shana
acquisition coupled with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of
gas.
Lease operating expenses decreased from $23,776 in 1995 to $22,454 in 1995. The
decrease of $1,322 (6%) is primarily due to the decreases in production, noted
above, partially offset by higher operating expenses incurred on the Shana
acquisition in 1996.
Depreciation and depletion expense decreased from $13,716 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $3,737 in the first quarter of 1995. This represents a decrease of
$9,979 (73%). The changes in production, noted above, caused depreciation and
depreciation expense to decrease by $3,718. A 63% decrease in the depletion rate
reduced depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $6,261. The decrease
in the depletion rate was primarily due to the lower property basis resulting
from the recognition of an $88,363 property impairment, partially offset by a
downward revision of the oil and gas reserves at December 31, 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 from $8,945 in 1995 to $7,068 in
1996. This decrease of $1,877 (21%) is primarily due to less staff time being
required to manage the Company's operations.
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 will continue to recover its reserves and distribute to the limited
partners the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production after
the payment of its debt obligations. Distribution amounts are subject to change
if net revenues are greater or less than expected. Based upon current projected
cash flows from the properties, it does not appear that the Company will have
sufficient cash to pay its operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and
pay distributions in 1996.
As of March 31, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant
developmental drilling activity.
