Item 1.          Description of Business


General

                 Enex Oil & Gas Income Program IV-Series 1, L.P. (the "Company")
was formed under the New Jersey Uniform Limited  Partnership Act (1976) on March
15,  1988  and  commenced  operations  on  September  8,  1988,  with  aggregate
subscriptions of $3,236,182, $3,203,820 of which was received from 1,992 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 royalty  interests  in certain oil and gas  properties.  A
"royalty  interest"  is an  interest  retained  by the  lessor  in the lease and
payable out of 100% of proceeds before deducting any other interests.The Company
also 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.

                 Valero   Industrial   Gas  L.P.,   Global   Natural   Resources
Corporation,  GPM Gas  Corporation,  Fina

                                       I-1

<PAGE>

     Oil Corporation,  and Pride Pipeline  Company  accounted for 26%, 14%, 13%,
12% and  11%,  respectively,  of the  Company's  total  sales  in  1995.  Valero
Industrial  Gas  L.P.,   Michael  Petroleum  Corp.,   Global  Natural  Resources
Corporation,  Pride Pipeline Company and GPM Gas Corporation  accounted for 24%,
21%, 12%, 12% and 11%,  respectively,  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 affects 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

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  decreased to $177,344 in 1995 from  $259,267
in 1994.  This  represents a decrease of $81,923 or 32%. Oil sales  decreased by
$12,289 or 13%. A 19%  decline in oil  production  caused  sales to  decrease by
$18,373. This decrease was partially offset by an 8% increase in the average oil
sales  price.  Gas sales  decreased  by $69,634 or 42%.  A 34%  decrease  in gas
production  reduced  sales by $56,369.  A 12%  decrease in the average gas sales
price reduced sales by an additional $13,265. The decrease in oil production was
primarily due to natural production declines which were especially pronounced on
the Brighton acquisition.  The decrease in gas production was primarily a result
of natural production declines,  which were especially  pronounced on the Barnes
Estate  acquisition,  coupled with the shut-in of production  from the the Credo
acquisition  to repair a casing leak,  which was  successfully  completed in the
first quarter of 1995. The changes in average prices  correspond with changes in
the overall market for the sale of oil and gas.

                 Lease  operating  expenses  decreased to $88,409 in 1995,  from
$102,129 in 1994.  The decrease of $13,720 or 13% was  primarily a result of the
decreases in oil and gas production, noted above.

                 Depreciation  and  depletion  expense  decreased to $121,546 in
1995 from  $195,767 in 1994.  This  represents a decrease of $74,221 or 38%. The
changes in  production,  noted  above,  caused  depreciation  and  depletion  to
decrease  by  $58,624  while  an 11%  decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $15,597.  The depletion rate
decrease was  primarily  due to an upward  revision of the gas  reserves  during
1995, partially offset by a downward revision of the oil reserves during 1995.

     Due to lower prices and reserve  revisions,  in December  1994, the Company
recorded an impairment of property for $178,771, which represented the excess of
the net  capitalized  costs over the  undiscounted  future net  revenues  of the
reserves.

   
     General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  to  $44,299 in 1995 from
$39,194 in 1994.  The  increase of $5,105 or 13% was  primarily  due to a $9,677
increase in direct expenses resulting from legal fees associated with a property
interest  dispute on the Barnes Estate  acquisition,  partially  offset by lower
costs  allocated by the general  partner in 1995.  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
    


Capital Resources and Liquidity

     The Company's cash flow from operations is a direct result of the amount of
net proceeds from the sale of oil and gas  production  after payment of its debt
obligations.  Accordingly,  the  changes  in cash  flow  from  1994 to 1995  are
primarily due to the changes in oil and gas sales described above. It is the

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.
