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.
3. On April 7, 1997, the Company's General Partner mailed proxy material
to the limited partners 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 proxy
material.
4. 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. Prior to
this pronouncement, the Company assessed properties on an aggregate basis.
Upon adoption of SFAS 121, the Company began assessing properties on an
individual basis, wherein total capitalized costs may not exceed the
property's fair market value. The fair market value of each property was
determined by H. J. Gruy and Associates, ("Gruy"). To determine the fair
market value, Gruy estimated each property's oil and gas reserves, applied
certain assumptions regarding price and cost escalations, applied a 10%
discount factor for time and certain discount factors for risk, location,
type of ownership interest, category of reserves, operational
characteristics, and other factors. 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 changes in the overall market for the sale of
oil and gas and significant decreases in the projected production from
certain of the Company's oil and gas properties.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
First Quarter 1997 Compared to First Quarter 1996
Oil and gas sales for the first quarter decreased from $95,765 in 1996 to
$77,255 in 1997. This represents a decrease of $18,510 (19%). Oil sales
decreased by $5,168 or 9%. A 31% decline in oil production reduced sales by
$17,060. This decrease was partially offset by a 31% increase in the average oil
sales price. Gas sales decreased by $13,342 or 33%. A 51% decrease in gas
production reduced sales by $20,531. This decrease was partially offset by a 36%
increase in the average oil sales price. The decrease in oil production was
primarily a result of natural production declines. The decrease in gas
production was due to sale of the Kidd well on the Enexco acquisition in April
1996, the sale of the Harper well in the RIC acquisition in June 1996, and the
sale of the Spider Lake well in the RIC acquisition in August 1996. The
increases in the average oil and gas prices were due to relatively higher
production from properties with a higher average sales price coupled with higher
prices in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas.
Lease operating expenses decreased from $44,600 in the first quarter of 1996 to
$35,013 in the first quarter of 1997. The decrease of $9,587 (21%) is primarily
due to the changes in production, noted above.
Depreciation and depletion expense decreased from $19,306 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $9,006 in the first quarter of 1997. This represents a decrease of
$10,300 (53%). The changes in production, noted above, reduced depreciation and
depletion expense by $7,540. A 23% decrease in the depletion rate reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $2,760. The rate decrease is
primarily due to upward revisions of the oil and gas reserves during December
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 circumstances indicate the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Prior to this pronouncement, the Company
assessed properties on an aggregate basis. Upon adoption of SFAS 121, the
Company began assessing properties on an individual basis, wherein total
capitalized costs may not exceed the property's fair market value. The fair
market value of each property was determined by H. J. Gruy and Associates,
("Gruy"). To determine the fair market value, Gruy estimated each property's oil
and gas reserves, applied certain assumptions regarding price and cost
escalations, applied a 10% discount factor for time and certain discount factors
for risk, location, type of ownership interest, category of reserves,
operational characteristics, and other factors. 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 changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas and significant decreases in the projected production from certain of
the Company's oil and gas properties.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $10,160 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $6,565 in the first quarter of 1997. This decrease of $3,595 (35%) is
primarily due to less staff time being required to manage the Company's
operations, coupled with $1,851 higher direct expenses incurred by the Company
in 1997.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
On April 7, 1997, the Company's General Partner mailed proxy material to the
limited partners 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 proxy material.
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 1996 to 1997 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's
"available cash flow" is essentially equal to the net amount of cash provided by
operating, financing and investing activities.
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. Based on the December 31, 1996
reserve report prepared by Gruy, there appears to be sufficient future net
revenues to pay all obligations and expenses. The Company does not intend to
purchase additional properties or fund extensive development of existing oil and
gas properties, and as such; has no long-term liquidity needs. The Company's
projected cash flows from operations will provide sufficient funding to pay its
operating expenses and debt obligations. The general partner does not intend to
accelerate the repayment of the debt beyond the cash flow provided by operating,
financing and investing activities. Based upon current projected cash flows from
its property, it does not appear that the Company will have sufficient cash to
pay distributions and pay its operating expenses, and meet its debt obligations.
Future periodic distributions will be made once sufficient net revenues are
accumulated.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant
developmental drilling activity.
