3.   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  to  be  reviewed  for  impairment   whenever  events  or
     circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Prior to
     this pronouncement,  the Company assessed properties on an aggregate basis.
     Upon  adoption of SFAS 121, the Company  began  assessing  properties on an
     individual  basis,  wherein  total  capitalized  costs may not  exceed  the
     property's  fair market  value.  The fair market value of each property was
     determined by H. J. Gruy and  Associates,  ("Gruy").  To determine the fair
     market value, Gruy estimated each property's oil and gas reserves,  applied
     certain  assumptions  regarding price and cost  escalations,  applied a 10%
     discount factor for time and certain discount  factors for risk,  location,
     type   of   ownership   interest,   category   of   reserves,   operational
     characteristics,  and other  factors.  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 changes in the overall market for the sale of
     oil and gas and  significant  decreases in the  projected  production  from
     certain of the Company's oil and gas properties.

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


Third Quarter 1995 Compared to Third Quarter 1996

Oil and gas  sales for the  third  quarter  increased  to  $43,779  in 1996 from
$33,895  in 1995.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $9,884  (29%).  Oil sales
decreased by $2,277 (7%). A 31% decrease in the oil  production  caused sales to
decrease by $9,455.  This decrease was partially offset by a 33% increase in oil
sales  price.  Gas sales  increased  by $12,161  (415%).  A 51%  increase in the
average  gas sales  price  increased  sales by $5,064.  A 243%  increase  in gas
production  increased gas sales by an additional $7,097. The increase in average
oil sales price was  primarily  the result of lower net profits  payments on the
Shana  acquisition  which had a pump replaced on the Dorothy  Stevens #4 well in
1995,  and 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 due to natural  production  declines.  The higher gas  production  was
primarily the result of higher production from the Shana acquisition,  which was
shut-in in 1995 for a pump replacement,  partially offset by natural  production
declines.

Lease operating  expenses decreased to $16,915 in 1996 from $27,360 in 1995. The
decrease of $10,445 (38%) is primarily due to charges incurred to replace a pump
on the Shana  acquisition in the third quarter of 1995,  partially offset by the
changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased to $7,771 in the third quarter of
1996 from $13,025 in the third  quarter of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of
$5,254 (40%). The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced depreciation and
depletion  expense  by  $213.  A 90%  decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional  $5,041. 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 decreased to $5,257 in 1996 from $6,126 in
1995.  This  decrease  of $869 (14%) is  primarily  due to less staff time being
required to manage the Company's operations in 1996.

First Nine  Months in 1995 Compared to First Nine  Months in 1996

Oil and gas sales for the first nine months  increased  to $120,899 in 1996 from
$114,131 in 1995. This represents a increase of $6,768 (6%). Oil sales decreased
by $22,096  (19%),  as a result of a 19% decrease in oil  production.  Gas sales
increased by $28,864 (1,985%). A 1,320% increase in average gas sales price. The
decrease  in average  oil sales 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.

Lease operating  expenses decreased to $60,494 in 1996 from $73,220 in 1995. The
decrease of $12,726 (17%) is primarily due to charges incurred to replace a pump
on the Shana  acquisition in the third quarter of 1995,  partially offset by the
changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $15,939 in the first nine months
of 1996  from  $38,548  in the first  nine  months of 1995.  This  represents  a
decrease of $22,609  (59%).  The changes in  production,  noted  above,  reduced
depreciation  and depletion  expense by $4,174.  A 54% decrease in the depletion
rate reduced  depreciation and depletion expense by an additional  $18,435.  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 to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances  indicate
the carrying amount may not be  recoverable.  Prior to this  pronouncement,  the
Company assessed  properties on an aggregate  basis.  Upon adoption of SFAS 121,
the Company began  assessing  properties on an individual  basis,  wherein total
capitalized  costs may not exceed the  property's  fair market  value.  The fair
market  value of each  property  was  determined  by H. J. Gruy and  Associates,

the Company  recognized a non-cash  impairment  provision of $88,363 for certain
oil and gas properties due to changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas and  significant decreases in the projected production from certain of
the Company's oil and gas properties.
    

General and administrative expenses decreased to $18,434 in 1996 from $20,865 in
1995.  This  decrease of $2,431 (12%) 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  the  available  cash flow to the Company's  partners.  The Company's
"available cash flow" is essentially equal to the net amount of cash provided by
operating activities.

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

                                       I-7

are greater or less than expected. Based on the December 31, 1995 reserve report
prepared by Gruy, there appears to be sufficient  future net revenues to pay all
obligations  and  expenses.  The Company does not intend to purchase  additional
properties or fund extensive development of existing oil and gas properties, and
as such; has no long-term  liquidity needs.  The Company's  projected cash flows
from operations will provide  sufficient  funding to pay its operating  expenses
and debt  obligations.  The general  partner does not intend to  accelerate  the
repayment of the debt beyond the cash flow provided by operating,  financing and
investing activities. Based upon current projected cash flows from its property,
it  does  not  appear  that  the  Company  will  have  sufficient  cash  to  pay
distributions  and pay  its  operating  expenses, and meet its debt obligations.
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.  On
November 13, 1996, the Company submitted  amended  preliminary proxy material to
the SEC with  respect to this  consolidation.  The terms and  conditions  of the
proposed consolidation are set forth in such preliminary proxy material.

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