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.    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.  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.

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

First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1995

Oil and gas  sales for the  first  quarter  increased  from  $85,808  in 1995 to
$95,765  in 1996.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $9,957  (12%).  Oil sales
increased by $1,685 or 3%. A 10% increase in average oil sales prices  increased
sales by $5,206.  This  increase  was  partially  offset by a 7% decrease in oil
production.  Gas  sales  increased  by  $8,272  or  26%.  A 7%  increase  in gas
production increased sales by $2,303. A 17% increase in average gas sales prices
increased  sales by an additional  $5,969.  The decrease in oil  production  was
primarily  the  result of  natural  production  declines.  The  increase  in gas
production  was  primarily  due to higher  production  from the RIC  acquisition
resulting from a higher level of available  compression.  The changes in average
prices  correspond  with  changes in the overall  market for the sale of oil and
gas.

Lease operating  expenses increased from $40,546 in the first quarter of 1995 to
$44,600 in the first quarter of 1996.  The increase of $4,054 (10%) is primarily
due to road repair expenses incurred on the Corkscrew acquisition in 1996.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased from $44,720 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $19,306 in the first quarter of 1996.  This  represents a decrease of
$25,414 (57%). The changes in production,  noted above, reduced depreciation and
depletion  expense  by  $625.  A 56%  decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional  $24,789.  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.

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.  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 from $11,345 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $10,160 in the first  quarter of 1996.  This decrease of $1,185 (10%)
is  primarily  due to less  staff time being  required  to manage the  Company's
operations,  partially  offset by $3,545 higher direct expenses  incurred by the
Company 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.

                                    I-5

<PAGE>




The Company  discontinued  the payment of distributions in the second quarter of
1995. Future distributions are dependent upon among other things, an increase in
the prices  received for oil and gas.  The Company will  continue to recover its
reserves and reduce its obligations in 1996. The general partner does not intend
to  accelerate  the  repayment  of the debt  beyond  the cash flow  provided  by
operating activities. Based upon current projected cash flows from its property,
it does not  appear  that  the  Company  will  have  sufficient  cash to pay its
operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions.

As of March 31,  1996,  the  Company  had no  material  commitments  for capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
