ITEM 5:   OTHER EVENTS

     On October 26,  1994, Geodyne Resources, Inc. ("Geodyne") and the
Geodyne Energy Income Limited Partnerships II-A, II-B, II-C, II-D, II-
E, II-F, II-G and II-H (collectively, the "Partnerships"), among other
parties,  were named  as defendants  in a  lawsuit alleging  causes of
action  based   on  fraud,  negligent   misrepresentation,  breach  of
fiduciary  duty, breach of implied covenant, and breach of contract in
connection with the  offer and sale  of limited partnership  interests
("Units") in  the  Partnerships  (Sidney  Neidick et  al.  v.  Geodyne
Resources,  Inc., et al., Case No. 94-052860, District Court of Harris
County, Texas).  The plaintiffs' petition alleged that the lawsuit was
being brought as a class action  on behalf of investors who  purchased
Units  in  the  Partnerships.    On June  7,  1995,  Geodyne  and  the
Partnerships  were dismissed  without prejudice  as defendants  in the
matter.  In addition, on  June 7, 1995, the matter was certified  as a
class action.   A class action notice  was mailed on June  7, 1995, to
all Limited Partners who are members of the class.

     On November  23 and  25, 1994, Geodyne,  PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber"), and certain other parties were named as defendants in
two  related  lawsuits  alleging  misrepresentations  made  to  induce
investments  in the Partnerships  and asserting  causes of  action for
common  law  fraud  and  deceit  and  unjust  enrichment  (Romine   v.
PaineWebber,  Inc., et al, Case No. 94-CIV-8558, U. S. District Court,
Southern District of New York and Romine  v. PaineWebber, Inc., et al,
Case No. 94-132844, Supreme Court of the State of New  York, County of
New York).   The federal court case was  later consolidated with other
similar actions (to which Geodyne  is not a party) under the  title In
Re:  PaineWebber Limited Partnerships' Litigation and was certified as
a  class  action  on May  30,  1995  (the  "Federal Partnership  Class
Action").   A class action notice  was mailed on  June 7, 1995  to all
members  of  the class.   The  Federal  Partnership Class  Action also
alleges  violations of  18 U.S.C.  Section 1962(c) and  the Securities
Exchange Act  of 1934.   Compensatory and punitive  damages, interest,
and costs have been requested in  both matters.  The amended complaint
in  the Federal Partnership Class  Action no longer  asserts any claim
directly against Geodyne.  

     On  January   18,  1996,  PaineWebber  issued   a  press  release
indicating  that it  had reached  an agreement  to settle  the pending
Federal  Partnership  Class  Action  along  with  the  Neidick  matter
referred to  above (collectively,  the "PaineWebber  Partnership Class
Actions"), along with  a settlement with  the SEC and an  agreement to
settle  with  various  state securities  regulators.    On that  date,
PaineWebber paid $125 million into an interest bearing account as part
of a  memorandum  of understanding  in  connection with  the  proposed
settlement (the "Settlement  Fund").  The  Settlement Fund applies  to
claims related to  both the Partnerships and  certain other investment
programs  sold by PaineWebber.   In addition, PaineWebber  agreed to a
SEC  administrative order creating a capped $40 million fund (the "SEC
Claims Fund"), which is to be distributed to eligible Limited Partners
by an independent administrator  (the "Claims Administrator"); a civil
penalty of $5 million leveled by the SEC;  and payments aggregating $5
million to state securities administrators.  Such settlement is not an
obligation  of either  the Partnerships  or Geodyne  and, accordingly,
would not affect the financial statements of the Partnerships.

     In connection with the  PaineWebber Partnership Class Actions, on
July  17, 1996 the federal court entered a preliminary order regarding
the settlement proceedings referred to above.  Pursuant to that order,
plaintiffs'  counsel  mailed to  class  members  the Class  Settlement
Notice (the "Notice") and Proof of Claim.   Eligible class members are
generally  those who purchased  their Units through  PaineWebber on or
before December 31, 1992 and who have not (i) previously  opted out of
the  Class, (ii)  previously  released PaineWebber,  or (iii)  finally
adjudicated their claims against PaineWebber.

     Plaintiffs' counsel will  be responsible for allocating  payments
from the $125 million Settlement Fund previously funded by PaineWebber
among  eligible  Limited Partners  and  investors  in other  unrelated
PaineWebber  partnerships  in accordance  with  the  settlement.   The
amount and date  of any payment will vary depending  upon many factors
set forth in the Notice.  It is currently expected  that payments from
the Settlement Fund will be made some time in 1997.

     In addition,  eligible Limited  Partners in the  Partnerships who
held their Units on June 3, 1996 may be entitled to certain additional
payments from an escrow  fund to which PaineWebber will  make payments
through  May 30,  2001 if spot  market oil  and natural  gas prices as
reported  by  the New  York  Mercantile  Exchange fall  below  certain
thresholds set forth  in the  Notice (the "Pricing  Guarantee").   The
threshold prices used in  the Pricing Guarantee are $18.00  per barrel
of  oil and  $1.80 per  Mcf  of gas.   Under  the Notice,  PaineWebber
payments, if any, made pursuant to the  Pricing Guarantee will be paid
to Limited Partners of record on June 30, 1996 irrespective of whether
they subsequently sell/dispose of  their Units to third parties.   The
Pricing Guarantee  does NOT  attach to  the Units as  an attribute  of
ownership  in  the Partnerships  and is  not  an obligation  of either
Geodyne or the Partnerships.  

     A  look back provision is  also included in  the settlement which
may  provide additional  funds  as of  January  1, 2001  for  eligible
Limited Partners.   Class members who sold  their Units prior  to June
30, 1996 will not be eligible for payments, if any,  under the Pricing
Guarantee or the look back provision.

     Eligible  Limited Partners  were required  to timely  execute and
return a proof of claim by January 17, 1997 in order to participate in
the settlement.  

     In  connection with  the  SEC Claims  Fund,  on April  17,  1996,
PaineWebber mailed a Notice and Claim Form to each Limited Partner who
purchased Units  in the Partnerships through  PaineWebber from January
1, 1986  to December 31, 1992.   Limited Partners are  not eligible to
participate in the  claims process  if they (i)  previously reached  a
settlement with PaineWebber  or (ii) had their direct investment claim
resolved by  a court or  in arbitration.  Participation  in the claims
process  is  optional, and  does not  prevent  a Limited  Partner from
pursuing any  other remedy against PaineWebber that  may be available.
Limited Partners had until October 22, 1996 to complete the claim form
and  return  it to  the Claims  Administrator.   The  determination of
whether  a Limited Partner  is entitled  to a  recovery under  the SEC
Claims Fund  will be based on whether  or not the Claims Administrator
determines that  the Limited Partner's investment  in the Partnerships
was  suitable for him  at the time  of purchase.   In addition, if the
Limited Partner has opted out of the PaineWebber Partnership Class 

                                  -3-

Action and has not already settled with PaineWebber or has had a claim
resolved by a court  or in arbitration, the Claims  Administrator will
also   consider  allegations  that  misrepresentations  were  made  in
connection with the sale of the Units.

     On March 20, 1997 the settlement described above was confirmed by
the federal court.
