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.
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) ORGANIZATION AND TERMS OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT -
Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets Partnership 1988-A, Ltd.,
a Texas limited partnership (the Partnership), was formed on June 2,
1988, for the purpose of purchasing net profits interest, overriding
royalty interests and royalty interests (collectively, "nonoperating
interests") in producing oil and gas properties within the continental
United States. Swift Energy Company ("Swift"), a Texas corporation,
and VJM Corporation ("VJM"), a California corporation, serve as
Managing General Partner and Special General Partner of the
Partnership, respectively. The general partners are required to
contribute up to 1/99th of limited partner net contributions. The 426
limited partners made total capital contributions of $4,770,363.
Nonoperating interests acquisition costs and the management
fee are borne 99 percent by the limited partners and one percent by
the general partners. Organization and syndication costs were borne
solely by the limited partners.
Generally, all continuing costs (including development costs,
operating costs, general and administrative reimbursements and direct
expenses) and revenues are allocated 90 percent to the limited
partners and ten percent to the general partners. If prior to
partnership payout, however, the cash distribution rate for a certain
period equals or exceeds 17.5 percent, then for the following calendar
year, these continuing costs and revenues will be allocated 85 percent
to the limited partners and 15 percent to the general partners. After
partnership payout, continuing costs and revenues will be shared 85
percent by the limited partners, and 15 percent by the general
partners, even if the cash distribution rate is less than 17.5
percent.
(3) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
USE OF ESTIMATES --
The preparation of 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 at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from estimates.
NONOPERATING INTERESTS IN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES --
For financial reporting purposes the Partnership follows the
"full-cost" method of accounting for nonoperating interests in oil and
gas property costs. Under this method of accounting, all costs
incurred in the acquisition of nonoperating interests in oil and gas
properties are capitalized. The unamortized cost of nonoperating
interests in oil and gas properties is limited to the "ceiling
limitation" (calculated separately for the Partnership, limited
partners and general partners). The "ceiling limitation" is
calculated on a quarterly basis and represents the estimated future
net revenues from nonoperating interests in proved properties using
current prices discounted at ten percent. Proceeds from the sale or
disposition of nonoperating interests in oil and gas properties are
treated as a reduction of the cost of the nonoperating interests with
no gains or losses recognized except in significant transactions.

SWIFT ENERGY MANAGED PENSION
ASSETS PARTNERSHIP 1988-A, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
The Partnership computes the provision for amortization of oil
and gas properties on the units-of- production method. Under this
method, the provision is calculated by multiplying the total
unamortized cost of oil and gas properties by an overall rate
determined by dividing the physical units of oil and gas produced
during the period by the total estimated proved oil and gas reserves
at the beginning of the period.
The calculation of the "ceiling limitation" and the provision
for depreciation, depletion and amortization is based on estimates of
proved reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in
estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting the future
rates of production, timing and plan of development. The accuracy of
any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data
and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment.
Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of
the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly,
reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and
gas that are ultimately recovered.
(4) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS -
An affiliate of the Special General Partner, as Dealer
Manager, received $117,747 for managing and overseeing the offering of
the limited partnership units. A one-time management fee of $119,259
was paid to Swift for services performed for the Partnership.
The Partnership entered into a Net Profits and Overriding
Royalty Interest Agreement ("NP/OR Agreement") with Swift Energy
Income Partners 1988-B, Ltd. (Operating Partnership), managed by
Swift, for the purpose of acquiring nonoperating interests in
producing oil and gas properties. Under terms of the NP/OR Agreement,
the Operating Partnership will convey to the Partnership nonoperating
interests in the aggregate net profits (i.e., oil and gas sales net of
related operating costs) of the properties acquired equal to its
proportionate share of the property acquisition costs.
(5) 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.
(6) 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 is formed for the purpose of investing in nonoperating
interests 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 results of
operations. When the Partnership is formed, it commences its "acquisition"
phase, with all funds placed in short-term investments until required for the
acquisition of nonoperating interests. Therefore, the interest earned on these
pre-acquisition investments becomes the primary cash flow source for initial
partner distributions. As the Partnership acquires nonoperating interests in
producing properties, net cash from ownership of nonoperating interests becomes
available for distribution, along with the investment income. After all
partnership funds have been expended on nonoperating interests in producing oil
and gas properties, the Partnership enters its "operations" phase. During this
phase, income from nonoperating interests in oil and gas sales generates
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 nonoperating interests in acquired oil and gas
properties, when the sale of such interests is economically appropriate or
preferable to continued operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership has completed acquisition of nonoperating interests in
producing oil and gas properties, expending all of the limited partners' net
commitments available for acquisitions.
Under the NP/OR Agreement, the Managing General Partner acquires interests
in oil and gas properties from outside parties and sells these interests to an
affiliated operating partnership, who in turn creates and sells to the
Partnership nonoperating interests in these same oil and gas properties.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis explains changes in the revenue and expense
categories for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 (current quarter) when compared
to the quarter ended June 30, 1995 (corresponding quarter), and for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 (current period), when compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1995 (corresponding period).
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
Income from nonoperating interests increased 166 percent in the current
quarter of 1996 when compared to the second quarter in 1995. Oil and gas sales
increased $23,149 or 46 percent in the current quarter of 1996 when compared to
the corresponding quarter in 1995, primarily due to increased gas and oil
prices. An increase in gas prices of 66 percent or $.89/MCF and in oil prices
of 28 percent or $4.01/BBL had a significant impact on partnership performance.
Also, current quarter gas production increased a slight 2 percent when compared
to second quarter 1995 production volumes, further contributing to increased
revenues.
Associated amortization expense increased 15 percent or $3,211.
The Partnership recorded an additional provision in amortization in the
second quarter of 1995 for $21,687 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 and Exchange
Commission.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
Income from nonoperating interests increased 34 percent in the current
period of 1996 when compared to the corresponding period in 1995. Oil and gas
sales increased $11,762 or 10 percent in the first six months of 1996 over the
corresponding period in 1995. An increase in gas prices of 40 percent or
$.57/MCF and in oil prices of 20 percent or $2.85/BBL were major contributing
factors to the increased revenues for the period. Also, current period gas and
oil production decreased 20 percent and 11 percent, respectively, when compared
to the corresponding period in 1995, partially offsetting the effect of
increased gas and oil prices.
Associated amortization expense decreased 16 percent or $8,896.
The Partnership recorded an additional provision in amortization in the
first six months of 1995 for $99,141 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 and Exchange
Commission.
During 1996, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
limited partners and general partners in a 90:10 ratio.
