     requires  certain assets 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 $50,639 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.

3.       A cash  distribution was made to the limited partners of the Company in
         the amount of $8,055 representing net revenues from the sale of oil and
         gas produced from properties  owned by the Company.  This  distribution
         was made on January 31, 1997.

4.       On April 7, 1997, the Company's  General  Partner mailed proxy material
         to the limited partners 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 proxy
         material.

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

First Quarter 1997 Compared to First Quarter 1996

Oil and gas  sales for the  first  quarter  increased  from  $16,054  in 1996 to
$26,662  in 1997.  This  represents  an  increase  of $10,608  (66%).  Oil sales
increased by $1,019 or 22%. A 49% increase in oil production  increased sales by
$2,268. This increase was partially offset by an 18% decrease in average net oil
sales  prices.  Gas sales  increased  by $9,589 or 84%.  A 22%  increase  in gas
production  increased  sales by $2,465.  A 51% increase in average net gas sales
prices  increased  sales by . The  increase in oil  production  was  primarily a
result of a successful workover performed in the Shana acquisition. The increase
in gas  production  was primarily the result of additional  wells drilled on the
Pecan Island  acquisition  in 1996.  The decrease in average net oil sales price
was a result of higher  operating  costs  incurred on the  Company's net profits
royalty  properties,  especially the Shana  acquisition  which  incurred  higher
operating costs in the first quarter of 1997,  partially offset by higher prices
in the overall market for the sale of oil. The increase in average net gas sales
price corresponds with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of gas.

Depletion  expense increased from $9,093 in the first quarter of 1996 to $10,177
in the first quarter of 1997. This  represents an increase of $1,084 (12%).  The
changes in  production,  noted above,  caused  depletion  expense to increase by
$2,822.  This increase was  partially  offset by a 15% decrease in the depletion
rate. The rate decrease was primarily due to relatively  higher  production from
properties with a lower depletion rate,  partially offset by downward  revisions
of the oil and gas reserves during December 1996.

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.   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 $50,639 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 from $7,526 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $5,716 in the first quarter of 1997. This decrease of $1,810 (24%) is
primarily  due to less  staff  time  being  required  to  manage  the  Company's
operations in 1997.

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 1996 to 1997 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's "available cash flow" is essentially equal to
the  net  amount  of  cash  provided  by  operating,   financing  and  investing
activities.

The  Company  discontinued  the payment of  distributions  during  1996.  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.  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.  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  General  Partner  does not  intend to
accelerate  the repayment of the debt beyond the Company's cash flow provided by
operating,  financing and investing  activities.  Future periodic  distributions
will be made once sufficient net revenues are accumulated.

On April 7, 1997,  the Company's  General  Partner  mailed proxy material to the
limited partners 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 proxy material.
