NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       The  interim  financial   information  included  herein  is  unaudited;
         however,  such information reflects all adjustments  (consisting solely
         of  normal  recurring   adjustments)  which  are,  in  the  opinion  of
         management,  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of  results  for  the
         interim periods.

2        Effective  February  1,  1996,  the Company sold its interest  in the
         Credo  acquisition  for $22,575.  The  Company  recognized  a gain  of
         $1,409 on the sale.  Effective  April 1, 1996,  the Company  sold its
         interest in the Kidd well in the Enexco  acquisition  for $7,680.  The
         Company recognized a $7,100 gain from the sale. Effective June 1, 1996,
         the Company sold its interest in the Harper well in the RIC acquisition
         for $6,674.  The Company recognized a gain of $5,123 from the sale.

3.      On August 9, 1996, the Company's General Partner submitted  preliminary

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


Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1996

Oil and gas sales for the  second  quarter  decreased  to  $54,972  in 1996 from
$74,719  in 1995.  This  represents  a  decrease  of  $19,747  (26%).  Oil sales
decreased by $3,270 (7%). A 4% decrease in  production  caused sales to decrease
by $1,830.  A 3% decrease in the  average  oil sales price  reduced  sales by an
additional  $1,440.  Gas sales  decreased by $7,317 (48%). A 62% decrease in gas
production reduced sales by $9,507.  This decrease was partially offset by a 38%
increase in the average gas sales  price.  The  decrease in oil  production  was
primarily a result of the sale of the Credo  acquisition in the first quarter of
1996 and the sale of the  Kidd  well in the  Enexco  acquisition  in the  second
quarter of 1996,  partially offset by production from the Corkscrew  acquisition
which had been shut-in  during the second  quarter of 1995 for rod repairs.  The
decrease in gas  production  was  primarily  the result of the sale of the Credo
acquisition  in the first  quarter  of 1996 and the sale of the Kidd well in the
Enexco acquisition in the second quarter of 1996 coupled with natural production
declines.  The  lower  average  oil  sales  price was  primarily  the  result of
relatively  higher  production  from  the  Corkscrew  acquisition  which  has  a
relatively  lower  oil sales  price,  partially  offset by higher  prices in the
overall  market for the sale of oil.  The  higher  average  gas sales  price was
primarily the result of relatively  higher  production  from  properties  with a
higher gas sales price, coupled with higher prices in the overall market for the
sale of gas.

Lease operating expenses decreased to $33,475 in the second quarter of 1996 from
$47,860  in the  second  quarter  of 1995.  The  decrease  of  $14,385  (30%) is
primarily due to the changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $12,308 in the second quarter of
1996 from $41,499 in the second quarter of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of
$29,191 (70%). The changes in production,  noted above, reduced depreciation and
depletion  expense by $9,550.  A 61%  decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional  $19,641.  The rate decrease
is primarily due to the lower property basis  resulting from the  recognition of
an impairment of property for $291,307 in the first quarter of 1996.

Effective  April 1, 1996,  the Company sold its interest in the Kidd well in the
Enexco  acquisition  for $7,680.  The Company  recognized a $7,100 gain from the
sale.  Effective  June 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Harper well
in the RIC acquisition for $6,674.  The Company recognized a gain of $5,123 from
the sale.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $8,851 in the second quarter of
1996 from  $27,813 in the second  quarter of 1995.  This  decrease of $18,962 is
primarily due to $11,938 of legal costs  incurred in the second  quarter of 1995
for a property interest dispute on the Barnes Estate  acquisition,  coupled with
less staff time being required to manage the Company's operations in 1996.

First Six Months in 1995 Compared to First Six Months in 1996

Oil and gas sales for the first six months  decreased  to  $150,737 in 1996 from
$160,527 in 1995. This represents a decrease of $9,790 (6%). Oil sales decreased
by $1,585 (2%). A 5% decrease in oil  production  reduced sales by $5,513.  This
decrease was  partially  offset by a 4% increase in the average oil sales price.
Gas sales  decreased by $8,204 (14%). A 19% decrease in gas  production  reduced
sales by $11,218.  This  decrease was  partially  offset by a 6% increase in the
average gas sales price.  The decrease in oil  production was primarily a result
of the sale of the Credo  acquisition  in the first quarter of 1996 and the sale
of the Kidd  well in the  Enexco  acquisition  in the  second  quarter  of 1996,
partially  offset by production  from the Corkscrew  acquisition  which had been
shut-in during the second  quarter of 1995 for rod repairs.  The decrease in gas
production was primarily the result of the sale of the Credo  acquisition in the
first quarter of 1996 and the sale of the Kidd well in the Enexco acquisition in
the second quarter of 1996 coupled with natural production declines. The changes
in the average sales prices  correspond  with changes in the overall  market for
the sale of oil and gas.

Lease  operating  expenses  decreased to $78,075 in the first six months of 1996
from $88,406 in the first six months of 1995.  The decrease of $10,331  (12%) is
primarily due to the changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense decreased to $31,614 in the first six months
of 1996 from $86,219 in the first six months of 1995. This represents a decrease
of $54,605 (63%). A 59% decrease in the depletion rate reduced  depreciation and
depletion expense by $45,179.  The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $9,426. The rate decrease is
primarily due to the lower property basis  resulting from the  recognition of an
impairment of property for $291,307 in the first quarter of 1996.

Effective  February  1,  1996,  the  Company  sold  its  interest  in the  Credo
acquisition  for $22,575.  The Company  recognized a gain of $1,409 on the sale.
Effective  April 1, 1996,  the Company sold its interest in the Kidd well in the
Enexco  acquisition  for $7,680.  The Company  recognized a $7,100 gain from the
sale.  Effective  June 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Harper well
in the RIC acquisition for $6,674.  The Company recognized a gain of $5,123 from
the sale.

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 circumstances indicate the
carrying  amount  may not be  recoverable.  In the first  quarter  of 1996,  the
Company recognized a non-cash  impairment  provision of $291,307 for certain oil
and gas properties due to market  indications that the carrying amounts were not
fully recoverable.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased to $19,011 in 1996 to $39,158 in
1995.  This decrease of $20,147 (51%) is primarily due to $11,938 of legal costs
incurred in the second  quarter of 1995 for a property  interest  dispute on the
Barnes Estate acquisition  coupled with less staff time being required to manage
the Company's operations in 1996.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The  Company's  cash  flow is a direct  result  of the  amount  of net  proceeds
realized from the sale of oil and gas production after the repayment of its debt
obligations.  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  substantially  all of the Company's
remaining available cash flow to the Company's partners.

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 are greater or less than expected.  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.  The
terms  and  conditions  of the  proposed  consolidation  are set  forth  in such
preliminary proxy material.

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