NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) GENERAL INFORMATION -
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Partnership and are unaudited except for the balance sheet at
December 31, 1995 which has been taken from the audited financial
statements at that date. The financial statements reflect adjustments,
all of which were of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the
opinion of the managing general partner necessary for a fair
presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The
Partnership believes adequate disclosure is provided by the information
presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and the notes included in the latest
Form 10-K.
(2) GAS IMBALANCES -
The gas imbalance receivable and deferred revenues are
accounted for on the entitlements method, whereby the Partnership
records its share of revenue, based on its entitled amount. Any amounts
over or under the entitled amount are recorded as an increase or
decrease to the gas imbalance receivable or deferred revenues as
applicable.
(3) VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS -
The Company's revenues are primarily the result of sales of
its oil and natural gas production. Market prices of oil and natural
gas may fluctuate and adversely affect operating results.
The Partnership extends credit to various companies in the oil
and gas industry which results in a concentration of credit risk. This
concentration of credit risk may be affected by changes in economic or
other conditions and may accordingly impact the Partnership's overall
credit risk. However, the Managing General Partner believes that the
risk is mitigated by the size, reputation, and nature of the companies
to which the Partnership extends credit. In addition, the Partnership
generally does not require collateral or other security to support
customer receivables.
(4) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -
The Partnership's financial instruments consist of cash and
cash equivalents and short-term receivables and payables. The carrying
amounts approximate fair value due to the highly liquid nature of the
short-term instruments.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of investing in producing oil
and gas properties located within the continental United States. In order to
accomplish this, the Partnership goes through two distinct yet overlapping
phases with respect to its liquidity and result of operations. When the
Partnership is formed, it commences its "acquisition" phase, with all funds
placed in short-term investments until required for such property acquisitions.
The interest earned on these pre-acquisition investments becomes the primary
cash flow source for initial partner distributions. As the Partnership acquires
producing properties, net cash from operations becomes available for
distribution, along with the investment income. After partnership funds have
been expended on producing oil and gas properties, the Partnership enters its
"operations" phase. During this phase, oil and gas sales generate substantially
all revenues, and distributions to partners reflect those revenues less all
associated partnership expenses. The Partnership may also derive proceeds from
the sale of acquired oil and gas properties, when the sale of such properties is
economically appropriate or preferable to continued operation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership has completed acquisition of producing oil and gas
properties, expending all of the limited partners' commitments available for
property acquisitions.
The Partnership does not allow for additional assessments from the
partners to fund capital requirements. However, funds in addition to the
remaining unexpended net capital commitments of the partners are available from
partnership revenues, borrowings or proceeds from the sale of partnership
property. The Managing General Partner believes that the funds currently
available to the Partnership will be adequate to meet any anticipated capital
requirements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis explains changes in the revenue and expense
categories for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 (current quarter) when
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995 (corresponding quarter), and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 (current period), when compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 (corresponding period).
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
Oil and gas sales declined $5,352 or 3 percent in the third quarter of
1996 when compared to the corresponding quarter in 1995, primarily due to
decreased gas and oil production. A decline of 34 percent in gas production and
35 percent in oil production had a significant impact on partnership
performance. Current quarter gas and oil prices increased 43 percent or $.70/MCF
and 51 percent or $6.81/BBL, respectively, partially offsetting the revenue
declines.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 20 percent or $14,929.
The Partnership recorded an additional provision in depreciation,
depletion and amortization in the third quarter of 1995 for $50,926 when the
present value, discounted at ten percent, of estimated future net revenues from
oil and gas properties, using the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, was below the fair market value originally paid for oil and gas
properties. The additional provision results from the Managing General Partner's
determination that the fair market value paid for properties may or may not
coincide with reserve valuations determined according to guidelines of the
Securities Exchange Commission.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
Oil and gas sales increased $64,661 or 12 percent in the first nine months
of 1996 over the corresponding period in 1995. An increase in gas prices of 46
percent or $.75/MCF and in oil prices of 28 percent or $3.82/BBL were major
contributing factors to the increased revenues for the period. Also, current
period gas production decreased 24 percent when compared to the corresponding
period in 1995, partially offsetting the effect of increased gas and oil prices.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 20 percent or $14,929.
The Partnership recorded an additional provision in depreciation,
depletion and amortization in the first nine months of 1995 for $250,614 when
the present value, discounted at ten percent, of estimated future net revenues
from oil and gas properties, using the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, was below the fair market value originally paid for oil and gas
properties. The additional provision results from the Managing General Partner's
determination that the fair market value paid for properties may or may not
coincide with reserve valuations determined according to guidelines of the
Securities Exchange Commission.
During 1996, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
limited partners and general partners in a 90:10 ratio.
