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. 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  Inc.,  ("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 $286,322 for certain
     oil and gas  properties due to market  conditions and reserve  revisions on
     the Lake Decade acquisition, which indicated that the carrying amounts were
     not fully recoverable.

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

Third Quarter 1995 Compared to Third Quarter 1996

Oil and gas sales for the third quarter  decreased to $4,677 in 1996 from $7,701
in 1995.  This  represents a decrease of $3,024  (39%).  Oil sales  decreased by
$1,252 or 30%. An 8% decrease in oil production  reduced sales by $355,  while a
24% decrease in average oil prices  reduced  dales by an  additional  $897.  Gas
sales  decreased  by $1,773 or 51%. A 64%  decrease in the average net gas sales
price  decreased sales by $3,009.  This decrease was partially  offset by an 35%
increase in gas production. The decreases in oil production was primarily due to
natural  production  declines.  The increase in gas production was due mainly to
higher  production  from the Lake  Decade  acquisition,  which had a  successful
workover  completed  on it during the third  quarter of 1996.  The  increase  in
average net oil prices  corresponds with higher prices in the overall market for
the sale of oil. The  decrease in the average net gas sales price was  primarily
due to lower  net  profits  royalty  payments  received  from  the  Lake  Decade
acquisition, which incurred workover costs during the third quarter of 1996.

Depletion  expense  decreased to $3,053 in the third quarter of 1996 from $4,851
in the third quarter of 1995.  This represents a decrease of $1,798 (37%). A 43%
decrease in the  depletion  rate  decreased  depletion  expense by $2,338.  This
decrease was  partially  offset by the changes in  production  noted above.  The
decrease in the depletion  rate was primarily  due to the lower  property  basis
resulting from the recognition of a $286,322 property impairment.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased to $2,719 in 1996 from $2,744 in
1995.  This  represents a decrease of $25 or 1%. This  decrease was  primarily a
result of less staff time being required to manage the Company's operations.

First Nine Months in 1995 Compared to First Nine  Months in 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Oil and gas sales for the first nine  months  decreased  to $17,187 in 1996 from
$18,455 in 1995.  This represents a decrease of $1,268 (7%). Oil sales decreased
by $865 or 8%. An 8%  decrease in oil  production  reduced  sales by $961.  This
decrease was  partially  offset by a 1% increase in the average oil sales price.
Gas sales  decreased by $403 or 6%. A 9% decrease in the gas production  reduced
sales by $678.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset by a 4%  increase  in the
average gas sales price.  The decreases in oil and gas production were primarily
due to natural  production  declines.  The  increases in average net oil and gas
sales prices correspond with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of
oil and gas.

Depletion  expense  decreased  to $7,896 in the first  nine  months of 1996 from
$16,839 in the first nine months of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of $8,943
(53%).  The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced  depletion  expense by
$1,530. A 48% decrease in the depletion rate decreased  depletion  expense by an
additional  $7,413.  The decrease in the depletion rate was primarily due to the
lower property  basis  resulting  from the  recognition  of a $286,322  property
impairment.

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.   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 Inc.,  ("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 $286,322 for
certain oil and gas properties due to market conditions and reserve revisions on
the Lake Decade acquisition,  which indicated that the carrying amounts were not
fully recoverable.

General and  administrative  expenses increased to $9,839 in 1996 from $8,596 in
1995.  This  increase of $1,243 (14%) is primarily  due to more staff time being
required to manage the Company's operations.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's cash flow 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 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  available  cash  flow  to the
Company's partners.

The Company  discontinued the payment of distributions  during 1995. The Company
will continue to recover its reserves and distribute to the limited partners the
net proceeds  realized from the sale of oil and gas production  after payment of
its debt obligations. Distribution amounts are subject to change if net revenues
are greater or less than expected.  Based upon current projected cash flows from
the properties, it does not appear that the Company will have sufficient cash to
pay its operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions.
