PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
General
Enex Oil & Gas Income Program III - Series 7, L.P. (the "Company") was
formed under the New Jersey Uniform Limited Partnership Law (1976) on February
13, 1987 and commenced operations on February 11, 1988, with aggregate
subscriptions of $2,263,383, $2,240,749 of which was received from 2,101 limited
partners, including investors whose distributions from earlier partnerships
sponsored by the Company's general partner, Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex"),
were automatically invested in the Company.
The Company is engaged in the oil and gas business through the ownership of
various interests in producing oil and gas properties, as detailed in Item 2,
below. If warranted, the Company may further develop its oil and gas properties.
However, the Company does not intend to engage in significant drilling
activities. Such activities may be conducted, however, as an incidental part of
the management of producing properties or with a view toward enhancing the value
of producing properties. In no event will the Company engage in exploratory
drilling, or use any of the limited partners' net revenues to fund
exploratory drilling activities. Any developmental drilling will be financed
primarily through third party borrowing or with funds provided from operations.
The expenses of drilling, completing and equipping and operating development
wells are allocated 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the general partner.
See Note 1 to the Financial Statements for information relating to the
allocation of costs and revenues between the limited partners and the general
partner. The Company's operations are concentrated in a single industry segment.
The Company owns working interests in certain oil and gas properties. A
"working interest" is a portion of the operating interest which is subject to
most of the costs associated with a well.
The principal executive office of the Company is maintained at Suite 200,
Three Kingwood Place, Kingwood, Texas 77339. The telephone number at this office
is (713) 358-8401. The Company has no regional offices.
The Company has no employees. On March 1, 1996, Enex and its subsidiaries
employed 24 persons.
Marketing
The marketing of oil and gas produced by the Company is affected by a
number of factors which are beyond the Company's control, the exact nature of
which cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include the quantity and
price of crude oil imports, fluctuating supply and demand, pipeline and other
transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels, state and federal
regulation of oil and gas production and distribution and other matters
affecting the availability of a ready market. All of these factors are extremely
volatile.

<PAGE>
American Exploration Company purchased 28% and Sunniland Pipeline Company
accounted for 18% of the Company's total sales in 1995. American Exploration
Company purchased 27% and Sunniland Pipeline Company accounted for 18% of the
Company's total sales in 1994. No other purchaser individually accounted for
more than 10% of such sales. Although the Company marketed a significant portion
of its sales to the above noted companies, such a concentration does not pose a
significant risk due to the commodity nature of the Company's products.
The operators of the Company's properties are noted in Item 2 below.
Although a significant portion of the Company's properties were operated by a
limited number of operators, this concentration does not pose a significant risk
since the Company's rights are secured by joint operating agreements.
Environmental and Conservation Regulation
State regulatory authorities in the states in which the Company owns
producing properties are empowered to make and enforce regulations to prevent
waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights and opportunities to
produce oil and gas for owners of a common reservoir. Each of such regulatory
authorities also regulates the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning
allowable rates of production, which may be increased or decreased in accordance
with supply and demand. Requirements regarding the prevention and clean-up of
pollution and similar environmental matters are also generally applicable. The
costs, if any, the Company may incur in this regard cannot be predicted.
The existence of such regulations has had no material adverse effects on
the Company's operations to date, and the cost of compliance has not yet been
material. There are no material administrative or judicial proceedings arising
under such laws or regulations pending against the Company. The Company is
unable to assess or predict the impact that compliance with environmental and
pollution control laws and regulations may have on its future operations,
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Tax Laws
The operations of the Company are affected by the federal income tax laws
contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Under
the Code, generally, the Company will report income from the sale of oil and
gas, against which it may deduct its ordinary business expenses, depletion,
depreciation and intangible drilling and development costs.
It is anticipated that most of the Company's income, if any, will be from a
"passive activity" for purposes of the Code. A passive activity includes an
activity in which the taxpayer does not materially participate, including the
ownership of a limited partnership interest, such as an interest in the Company.
"Passive Income," however, does not include portfolio income (i.e. dividends,
interest, royalties, etc.). Although taxpayers generally may not deduct losses
or use tax credits derived from passive activities in an amount greater than
their income derived from such activities, if and to the extent that the Company
generates passive income, it will be available to offset the limited partners'
passive losses from other sources.
Partnerships with interests that are "publicly traded" are taxed as
corporations unless at least 90% of their income is "qualifying income." Because
the Company's income will be qualifying income for this purpose, the Company
will not be taxed as a corporation under this rule. Passive income or

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of
the Company and the notes thereto included in this Form 10-KSB.
Oil and gas sales in 1995 were $226,048 as compared with $276,940 in 1994.
This represents a decrease of $50,892 or 18%. Oil sales decreased by $22,010 or
12%. A 21% decline in production caused sales to decrease by $40,087. This
decrease was partially offset by a 12% increase in the average oil sales price.
Gas sales decreased by $28,882 or 32%. A 22% decrease in gas production reduced
sales by $19,689. A 13% decrease in the average gas sales price reduced sales by
an additional $9,193. The lower oil production was primarily the result of the
shut-in of production in August 1995, from the Corkscrew acquisition in Florida
due to hurricane damage. The decrease in gas production was primarily a result
of natural production declines which were especially pronounced on the RIC and
Barnes Estate acquisitions. The changes in average oil and gas sales prices
correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas.
Lease operating expenses increased to $128,752 in 1995, from $126,576 in
1994. The increase of $2,176 or 2% was primarily a result of the workover costs
incurred on the Corkscrew acquisition to repair hurricane damage to the wells in
Florida in 1995.
Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $87,814 in 1995 from
$107,613 in 1994. This represents a decrease of $19,799 or 18%. The changes in
production, noted above, caused depreciation and depletion expense to decrease
by $23,248. This decrease was partially offset by a 4% increase in the depletion
rate. The increase in the depletion rate was primarily a result of a downward
revision of the oil reserves during 1995, partially offset by an upward revision
of the gas reserves during 1995.
Effective October 1, 1995, the Company sold its interest in the Kidd #1
well in the Enexco acquisition to Humphrey Oil Co. for $48,750. A gain from the
sale of $43,383 was recognized by the Company. The impact of this sale on
current and future revenues is not expected to be material, as such interests
represented approximately 3% of future net revenues.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $51,756 in 1994 from
$54,892 in 1994. The decrease of $3,136 or 6% was primarily due to less staff
time being required to manage the Company's operations in 1995 partially offset
by a $3,921 increase in direct expenses incurred by the Company. The increase in
direct expenses was primarily due to legal fees resulting from a property
interest dispute on the Barnes Estate acquisition. This case is set for trial in
the second quarter of 1996. The Company does not expect the settlement of the
dispute to have a material impact on the financial statements.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Company's cash flows from operations is a direct result of the amount
of net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production. Accordingly,
the changes in cash flows from 1994 to 1995 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 available cash flows to the
Company's partners. The Company's "available cash flow" is essentially equal to
the net amount of cash provided by operating activities. Distributions decreased
from 1994 to 1995 primarily due to the decline in oil and gas sales, noted
above.
The Company will continue to recover its reserves and distribute to the
partners the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production after
payment of debt obligations. The Company plans to repay the amount owed to the
general partner over a four year period. The Company suspended the payment of
distributions in the fourth quarter of 1995. The payment of future distributions
will depend on the Company's earnings, financial condition, working capital
requirements and other factors. It is anticipated that periodic distributions
will be made by the Company as cash becomes

Robert D. Carl, III. Mr. Carl, age 42, was appointed a Director of the
General Partner on July 30, 1991 and is a member of the Audit Committee. He is
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Health Images,
Inc., a public company whose securities are traded on NYSE, which provides fixed

University School of Law, Atlanta, Georgia in 1978. Mr. Carl is a trustee of
Franklin & Marshall College and is a member of the State Bar of Georgia.
On January 4, 1996, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States District
Court for the District of Columbia against Mr. Carl alleging that Mr. Carl
violated Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"),
and Rule 16a-2 and 16a-3 (and former Rule 16a-1) thereunder, by failing to
timely file reports concerning thirty-eight securities transactions in his
mother's brokerage accounts involving shares of Health Images, Inc. stock. The
SEC took the position that because Mr. Carl (1) provided substantial financial
III-2
<PAGE>
support to his mother, (2) commingled his mother's assets with his own, (3)
provided a substantial portion of the funds used to purchase the shares in
question, and (4) received from his mother a substantial portion of the sales
proceeds, he, therefore, had a pecuniary interest in, and was a beneficial owner
of, the shares in question.
In response to the SEC's action, Mr. Carl disgorged to Health Images, Inc.
approximately $92,400 in short-swing profits from the trading in his mother's
account, plus interest thereon of approximately $52,600. The SEC further
requested the court to impose a $10,000 civil penalty against Mr. Carl pursuant
to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Without admitting or denying the
allegations in the complaint, Mr. Carl consented to the entry of a final
judgement imposing the $10,000 penalty. On January 12, 1996, a federal judge
entered the final judgement in this matter, and Mr. Carl has since filed amended
reports on Forms 4 and 5 reflecting these transactions in his mother's accounts.
In relation to the same matter, the SEC has issued an administrative Order
pursuant to Section 21C of the Exchange Act against Mr. Carl, finding that he
violated Section 16(a) and the rules thereunder and requiring him to cease and
desist from committing or causing any violation or future violation of those
provisions. Without admitting or denying allegations in the SEC's Order, Mr.
Carl consented to the entry of the Order.
