PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
General
Enex Oil & Gas Income Program III-Series 4, L.P. (the "Company") was formed
under the New Jersey Uniform Limited Partnership Law (1976) on March 20, 1986
and commenced operations on May 1, 1987 with aggregate subscriptions of
$2,704,880, $2,677,831 of which was received from 455 limited partners,
including investors whose distributions from earlier partnerships sponsored by
the Company's general partner, Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex"), were
automatically invested in the Company.
The Company is engaged in the oil and gas business through the ownership of
various interests in producing oil and gas properties. If warranted, the Company
may further develop its oil and gas properties. However, the Company does not
intend to engage in significant drilling activities. Such activities may be
conducted, however, as an incidental part of the management of producing
properties or with a view toward enhancing the value of producing properties. In
no event will the Company engage in exploratory drilling, or use any of the
limited partners' net subscriptions to fund drilling activities. Any
developmental drilling will be financed primarily through third party borrowing
or with funds provided from operations. The expenses of drilling, completing and
equipping and operating development wells are allocated 90% to the limited
partners and 10% to the general partner. See Note 1 to the Financial Statements
for information relating to the allocation of costs and revenues between the
limited partners and the general partner. The Company's operations are
concentrated in a single industry segment.
The principal executive office of the Company is maintained at Suite 200,
Three Kingwood Place, Kingwood, Texas 77339. The telephone number at this office
is (713) 358-8401. The Company has no regional offices.
The Company has no employees. On March 1, 1996, Enex and its subsidiaries
employed 24 persons.
Marketing
The marketing of oil and gas produced by the Company is affected by a
number of factors which are beyond the Company's control, the exact nature of
which cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include the quantity and
price of crude oil imports, fluctuating supply and demand, pipeline and other
transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels, state and federal
regulation of oil and gas production and distribution and other matters
affecting the availability of a ready market. All of these factors are extremely
volatile.
Scurlock Oil Company, Sunniland Pipeline Company and Mueller Engineering
Corp. accounted for 34%, 15% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's total sales
in 1995. Scurlock Oil Company and Sunniland Pipeline Company accounted for 36%
and 17%, respectively, of the Company's total sales in
I-1
<PAGE>
1994. No other purchaser individually accounted for more than 10% of such sales.
Although the Company marketed a significant portion of its sales to the above
noted companies, such a concentration does not pose a significant risk due to
the commodity nature of the Company's products.
Environmental and Conservation Regulation
State regulatory authorities in the states in which the Company owns
producing properties are empowered to make and enforce regulations to prevent
waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights and opportunities to
produce oil and gas as between owners of a common reservoir. Each of such
regulatory authorities also regulates the amount of oil and gas produced by
assigning allowable rates of production, which may be increased or decreased in
accordance with supply and demand. Requirements regarding the prevention and
clean-up of pollution and similar environmental matters are also generally
applicable. The costs, if any, the Company may incur in this regard cannot be
predicted.
The existence of such regulations has had no material adverse effects on
the Company's operations to date, and the cost of compliance has not yet been
material. There are no material administrative or judicial proceedings arising
under such laws or regulations pending against the Company. The Company is
unable to assess or predict the impact that compliance with environmental and
pollution control laws and regulations may have on its future operations,
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Tax Laws
The operations of the Company are affected by the federal income tax laws
contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Under
the Code, generally, the Company will report income from the sale of oil and
gas, against which it may deduct its ordinary business expenses, depletion,
depreciation and intangible drilling and development costs.
It is anticipated that most of the Company's income, if any, will be from a
"passive activity" for purposes of the Code. A passive activity includes an
activity in which the taxpayer does not materially participate, including the
ownership of a limited partnership interest, such as an interest in the Company.
"Passive income," however, does not include portfolio income (i.e. dividends,
interest, royalties, etc.). Although taxpayers generally may not deduct losses
or use tax credits derived from passive activities in an amount greater than
their income derived from such activities, if and to the extent that the Company
generates passive income, it will be available to offset the limited partners'
passive losses from other sources.
Partnerships with interests that are "publicly traded" are taxed as
corporations unless at least 90% of their income is "qualifying income." Because
the Company's income will be qualifying income for this purpose, the Company
will not be taxed as a corporation under this rule. Passive income or losses
from publicly traded partnerships that are not taxed as corporations generally
cannot be used to offset passive income or losses from other sources, but Enex
believes that the Company is not publicly traded. Consequently, limited partners
should continue to be able to utilize their income and losses from the Company
to offset losses and income from their other passive activities.
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
I-2
<PAGE>
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.
Item 2. Description of Property
Presented below is a summary of the Company's property
acquisitions.
BURNS POND, EAST acquisition. This acquisition consists of working
interests in 5 producing wells in Union County, Arkansas. Enex Resources
Corporation has assumed operation of these wells. The Company acquired its
interests effective July 1987 for $769,500. Effective March 1, 1991, the Company
sold its interests for $47,423. The Company recognized a loss of $187,971 on the
sale.
SHANA acquisition. Effective January 1, 1988, working interests in 33 oil
and gas wells located in various counties in Texas and Louisiana, were purchased
from Shana Petroleum Company of Natchez, Mississippi for $100,450. These wells
are operated by twelve oil and gas companies. In December 1992, the Company sold
a portion of its interest in the Shana acquisition for $16,550. No gain or loss
was recognized from the sale. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company sold a well
in the Shana acquisition (the Bravo Land 1-1A) for $5,130. A $611 gain was
recognized on the sale. Effective July 1, 1995, the Company sold its interests
in the Garcia 1, 2 & 5 wells in the Shana acquisition to Mueller Engineering
Corp. for $10,000. A $3,969 gain was recognized on the sale. The Company owns
working interests ranging from .01% to 1.70% of the total Shana acquisition at
December 31, 1995.
HIGHTOWER acquisition. The Company acquired working interests in 3 oil
wells in the Ellenburger formation in Andrews and Gaines Counties, Texas from
Jack D. Hightower and Amber Energy, Inc. of Midland, Texas for a purchase price
of $614,000 effective March 1, 1988. The acquisition is operated by Tamarack
Petroleum, Cross Timbers Oil Co., and Sharp Drilling Co. The Company owns a
7.53% working interest in the Hightower acquisition at December 31, 1995.
PECAN ISLAND acquisition. Mineral interests and royalty interests in 3 gas
wells were acquired from Naomi Morel Kiern effective in May 1988 for a purchase
price of $433,200. These wells are located in the North Pecan Island Field in
Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. The Company owns a 1.25% royalty interest in the
Pecan Island acquisition at December 31, 1995.
CORKSCREW acquisition. Working interests in 3 oil wells producing from the
Sunniland Lime formation in Corkscrew Field, Collier County, Florida, were
purchased from R.K. Petroleum Corp. of Midland, Texas for $422,400 effective
June 1, 1988. The Company owns an 8.80% working interest in the Corkscrew
acquisition at December 31, 1995. Enex has assumed operation of these wells.
Purchase price as used above is defined as the actual contract price plus
finders' fees, if applicable. Miscellaneous acquisition expenses, subsequent
capital items, etc. are not included.

Oil and Gas Reserves
For quantitative information regarding the Company's oil and gas reserves,
please see Supplementary Oil and Gas Information and related tables which follow
the Notes to Financial Statements in Item 7 of this report. The Company has not
filed any current oil and gas reserve estimates or included any such estimates
in reports to any federal or foreign governmental authority or agency, including
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Proved oil and gas reserves reported herein are based on engineering
reports prepared by the petroleum engineering consulting firm of H. J. Gruy and
Associates, Inc. The reserves included in this report are estimates only and
should not be construed as exact quantities. Future conditions may affect
recovery of estimated reserves and revenue, and all reserves may be subject to
revision as more performance data become available. The proved reserves used in
this report conform to the applicable definitions promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. No major discovery or other favorable or adverse event
that could potentially cause a significant change in the estimated proved
reserves has occurred since December 31, 1995.
Net Oil and Gas Production
The following table shows for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
the approximate production attributable to the Company's oil and gas interests.
The figures in the table represent "net production"; i.e., production owned by
the Company and produced to its interest after deducting royalty and other
similar interests. All production occurred in the United States.
1995 1994

The following table sets forth the Company's average sales price per barrel
of oil, per Mcf of gas, and average production cost per unit produced for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. The average prices and production cost
per equivalent barrel are higher than average market prices and costs due to the
payment of net profit royalties. The payment of such royalties has no impact on
the Company's net revenues or cash flows.

Dividends
The Company made cash distributions to partners of $1 and $7 per
$500 investment in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company discontinued the
payment of distributions in the second quarter of 1995. Future distributions are
dependent upon, among other things, an increase in the prices received for oil
and gas. The Company will continue to recover its reserves and reduce
obligations in 1996. Based upon current projected cash flows from its property,
it does not appear that the Company will have sufficient net cash flow after
debt service to pay distributions.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in this Form
10-KSB.
Oil and gas sales in 1995 were $128,169 as compared with
$158,248 in 1994. Oil and gas sales decreased by $30,079 or 19% from 1994 to
1995. Oil sales decreased by $1,433 or 1%. A 21% decrease in oil production
reduced sales by $24,144. This decrease was partially offset by a 24% increase
in the average oil sales price. Gas sales decreased by $28,646 or 69%. A 62%
decline in gas production reduced sales by $25,565, while a 20% decrease in the
average gas sales price reduced sales by an additional $3,081. The increase in
the average oil sales price was primarily the result of lower net profits
royalty payments on the Shana acquisition which had a pump replaced on the
Dorothy Stevens #4 well, coupled with higher prices in the overall market for
the sale of oil. The lower oil and gas production was due to the shut-in of
production from the Shana and Hightower acquisitions, to perform workovers in
1995, coupled with natural production declines. The decrease in the average gas
sales price was due to lower prices in the overall market for the sale of gas.
Lease operating expenses were $89,190 in 1995 as compared
with $80,511 in 1994. Lease operating expenses increased by $8,679 or 11% from
1994 to 1995. This increase was primarily due to workover expenses incurred on
the Hightower and Shana acquisitions in 1995.
Depreciation and depletion expense was $41,919 in 1995 as
compared with $53,600 in 1994. Depreciation and depletion expense decreased by
$11,681 or 22% from 1994 to 1995. The declines in production, noted above,
caused depreciation and depletion expense to decrease by $16,041. This decrease
was partially offset by a 12% increase in the depletion rate. The rate increase
was primarily a result of downward revisions of the oil and gas reserves during
1995.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Company sold its interests in
the Garcia 1, 2 & 5 wells in the Shana acquisition to Mueller Engineering Corp.
for $10,000. A $3,969 gain was recognized on the sale.
General and administrative expenses were $30,180 in 1995 as
compared with $38,310 in 1994. General and administrative expenses decreased by
$8,130 or 21% from 1994 to 1995. The decrease was primarily the result of less
staff time being required to manage the Company's operations coupled with a
$3,904 decrease in direct expenses incurred by the Company in 1995.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Company's cash flow from operations is a direct result
of the amount of the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas
production. Accordingly, the changes in cash flow from 1994 to 1995 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 net cash flow to the Company's partners.
II-2
<PAGE>
The Company discontinued the payment of distributions in the second quarter
of 1995. Future distributions are dependent upon among other things, an increase
in the prices received for oil and gas. The Company will continue to recover its
reserves and reduce its obligations in 1996. The general partner does not intend
to accelerate the repayment of the debt beyond the cash flow provided by
operating activities. The Company plans to repay the amount owed to the general
partner over a five year period. Based upon current projected cash flows from
its property, it does not appear that the Company will have sufficient cash to
pay its operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had no material
commitments for capital expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in
any significant developmental drilling activity.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION
Enex Oil & Gas Income Program III - Series 4, L.P. (the
"Company"), a New Jersey limited partnership, commenced
operations on May 1, 1987 for the purpose of acquiring
proved oil and gas properties. Total limited partner
contributions were $2,704,880, of which $27,049 was
contributed by Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex"), the
general partner.
In accordance with the partnership agreement, the Company
paid commissions of $281,172 for solicited subscriptions to
Enex Securities Corporation, a subsidiary of Enex, and
reimbursed Enex for organization expenses of approximately
$81,000.
Information relating to the allocation of costs and
revenues between Enex, as general partner, and the limited
partners is as follows:
Limited
Enex Partners
Commissions and selling expenses 100%
Company reimbursement of organization
expense 100%
Company property acquisition 100%
General and administrative costs 10% 90%
Costs of drilling and completing
development wells 10% 90%
Revenues from temporary investment of
partnership capital 100%
Revenues from producing properties 10% 90%
Operating costs (including general and
administrative costs associated with
operating producing properties) 10% 90%
At the point in time when the cash distributions to the
limited partners equal their subscriptions ("payout"), the
costs of drilling and completing development wells,
revenues from producing properties, general and
administrative costs and operating costs will be allocated
15% to the general partner and 85% to the limited partners.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oil and Gas Properties - The Company uses the successful
efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
operations. Under this method, the costs of all development

proved reserves. The acquisition costs of proved oil and
gas properties are capitalized and periodically assessed
for impairment.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This statement
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.
TThe Company has not determined the effect, if any, on its
financial position or results of operations which may
result from the adoption of this statement in the first
quarter of 1996.
Cash Flows - The Company has presented its cash flows using
the indirect method and considers all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
General and Administrative Expenses - The Company
reimburses the General Partner for direct costs and
administrative costs incurred on its behalf. Administrative
costs allocated to the Company are computed on a cost basis
in accordance with standard industry practices by
allocating the time spent by the General Partner's
personnel among all projects and by allocating rent and
other overhead on the basis of the relative direct time
charges.
Uses of Estimates - The preparation of the 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 and disclosure of contigent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
General - The Company is not a taxable entity for federal
income tax purposes. Such taxes are liabilities of the
individual partners and the amounts thereof will vary
depending on the individual situation of each partner.
Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the
accompanying financial statements.

On January 4, 1996, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States District
Court for the District of Columbia against Mr. Carl alleging that Mr. Carl
violated Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"),
and Rule 16a-2 and 16a-3 (and former Rule 16a-1) thereunder, by failing to
timely file reports concerning thirty-eight securities transactions in his
mother's brokerage accounts involving shares of Health Images, Inc. stock.
Although Mr. Carl's mother apparently did not
III-2
<PAGE>
live in his household, the SEC took the position that because Mr. Carl (1)
provided substantial financial support to his mother, (2) commingled his
mother's assets with his own, (3) provided a substantial portion of the funds
used to purchase the shares in question, and (4) received from his mother a
substantial portion of the sales proceeds, he, therefore, had a pecuniary
interest in, and was a beneficial owner of, the shares in question.
In response to the SEC's action, Mr. Carl disgorged to Health Images, Inc.
approximately $92,400 in short-swing profits from the trading in his mother's
account, plus interest thereon of approximately $52,600. The SEC further
requested the court to impose a $10,000 civil penalty against Mr. Carl pursuant
to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Without admitting or denying the
allegations in the complaint, Mr. Carl consented to the entry of a final
judgement imposing the $10,000 penalty. On January 12, 1996, a federal judge
entered the final judgement in this matter, and Mr. Carl has since filed amended
reports on Forms 4 and 5 reflecting these transactions in his mother's accounts.
In relation to the same matter, the SEC has issued an administrative Order
pursuant to Section 21C of the Exchange Act against Mr. Carl, finding that he
violated Section 16(a) and the rules thereunder and requiring him to cease and
desist from committing or causing any violation or future violation of those
provisions. Without admitting or denying allegations in the SEC's Order, Mr.
Carl consented to the entry of the Order.

General Partner on September 11, 1991. He joined the General Partner as

held and publicly owned oil and gas companies. From September 1981 to December
