                          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-B,  Ltd., a Texas
limited partnership (the Partnership), was formed on September 14, 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 331 limited partners made
total capital contributions of $3,631,145.

     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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                   (UNAUDITED)


       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.

     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  $88,279 for managing and  overseeing the offering of
        the limited  partnership units. A one-time management fee of $90,779 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-C, 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'
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  September  30, 1996  (current  quarter) when
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995  (corresponding  quarter),  and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 (current period),  when compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 (corresponding period).

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

      Income from  nonoperating  interests  increased  28 percent in the current
quarter of 1996 when  compared to the third  quarter in 1995.  Oil and gas sales
increased  $9,226 or 18 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 62 percent or $.87/MCF and in oil prices of
40 percent or $5.73/BBL had a  significant  impact on  partnership  performance.
Current  quarter  gas and oil  production  decreased  19 percent and 39 percent,
respectively,  when compared to third quarter 1995 production volumes, partially
offsetting the increased revenues from increased gas and oil prices.

      Associated amortization expense decreased 11 percent or $2,454.

      The  Partnership  recorded an additional  provision in amortization in the
third  quarter of 1995 for $13,791  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 Exchange Commission.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

      Income from  nonoperating  interests  increased  18 percent in the current
period of 1996 when compared to the  corresponding  period in 1995.  Oil and gas
sales  increased  $10,059 or 6 percent in the first nine months of 1996 over the
corresponding  period  in 1995.  An  increase  in gas  prices of 49  percent  or
$.71/MCF  and in oil prices of 21 percent or $3.09/BBL  were major  contributing
factors to the  increased  revenues  for the period.  Also,  current  period gas
production  decreased 27 percent when  compared to the  corresponding  period in
1995, partially offsetting the effect of increased gas and oil prices.

      Associated amortization expense decreased 20 percent or $15,101.

      The  Partnership  recorded an additional  provision in amortization in the
first nine months of 1995 for $67,130 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 Exchange Commission.

      During 1996,  partnership  revenues  and costs will be shared  between the
limited partners and general partners in a 90:10 ratio.
