     Partnerships  with  interests  that  are  "publicly  traded"  are  taxed as
corporations unless at least 90% of their income is "qualifying income." Passive
income  or  loss  from  Publicly  traded  partnerships  that  are not  taxed  as
corporations  generally  cannot be applied  against  passive income or less from
other  sources.  As  stated  in  Item  5 of  this  Annual  Report,  there  is no
established  public  trading  market  for  the  Company's  limited   partnership
interests. In addition, the Company derives more than 90% of its income from oil
and gas activities,  which  constitutes  qualifying income within the meaning of
section  7704(d) of the Code.  Therefore,  the Company should not be affected by
the publicly traded partnership rules.
    
     In order to prevent  the  adverse tax  consequences  that would  affect the
limited partners if the Company's limited  partnership  interests were to become
publicly traded in the future,  the general partner may, after final regulations
have been issued by the Internal  Revenue  Service,  submit to a vote of limited
partners a proposal to amend the Company's  agreement of limited  partnership to
provide,  among  other  things,  (a) that Enex shall have the right to refuse to
recognize any transfer of limited partnership interests if it believes that such
transfer occurred on a secondary market or the substantial  equivalent  thereof;
and (b) that all assignors and  assignees of the limited  partnership  interests
shall be required to represent to Enex that any transfer of limited  partnership
interests did not, to the best of their  knowledge,  occur on a secondary market
or the substantial equivalent thereof.
