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.       On August 9, 1996, the Company's General Partner submitted  preliminary
         proxy material to the Securities Exchange Commission 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 preliminary proxy material.

   
     3.   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,  ("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 $254,366  for certain oil and gas  properties
          due to market  indications  that the  carrying  amounts were not fully
          recoverable.

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

Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1996

Oil and gas sales for the  second  quarter  decreased  to  $11,068  in 1996 from
$49,708  in 1995.  This  represents  a  decrease  of  $38,640  (78%).  Oil sales
decreased by $28,538  (100%).  There was no oil production in the second quarter
of 1996 due to the Credo acquisition being sold, effective February 1, 1996. Gas
sales decreased by $10,102 (47%). A 59% decrease in gas production reduced sales
by $12,694.  This decrease was partially offset by a 29% increase in the average
gas sales price.  The increase in the average gas sales price  corresponds  with
changes  in the  overall  market  for  the  sale  of gas.  The  decrease  in gas
production  was primarily due to the sale of the Credo  acquisition in the first
quarter of 1996, coupled with natural production  declines which were especially
pronounced on the Barnes Estate acquisition.

Lease  operating  expenses  decreased to $7,361 in the second quarter of 1996 to
$29,986  in the  second  quarter  of 1995.  The  decrease  of  $22,625  (75%) is
primarily due to the changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense decreased to a negative $2,351 in the second
quarter of 1996 from $32,299 in the second  quarter of 1995.  This  represents a
decrease of $34,650  (107%).  The negative amount for the second quarter of 1996
is due to the  reversal of an accrual of sales from the Credo  acquisition,  the
sale of which was closed in April, 1996, but was effective February 1, 1996. The
changes in production,  noted above,  reduced depreciation and depletion expense
by $24,601.  A 131%  decrease in the  depletion  rate  reduced the expense by an
additional $10,049.  The decrease in the depletion rate was primarily due to the
lower property  basis  resulting  from the  recognition  of a $254,366  property
impairment in the first quarter of 1996.

   
On April 2, 1996, the Company settled a property  interest dispute on the Barnes
Estate acquisition.  In the settlement,  the Company agreed to pay $6,500 to the
plaintiff and convey 0.26%  overriding  royalty interest in the Barnes Estate #1
and #2 wells.  Such conveyance  should not have a material impact on the current
or future revenues of the Company.
    

General and administrative expenses decreased to $6,018 in the second quarter of
1996 from  $19,056 in the second  quarter of 1995.  This  decrease of $13,038 is
primarily  due to $7,959 of legal costs  incurred in the second  quarter of 1995
for a property interest dispute on the Barnes Estate  acquisition,  coupled with
less staff time being required to manage the Company's operations in 1996.

First Six Months in 1995 Compared to First Six Months in 1996

Oil and gas sales for the first six  months  decreased  to  $71,115 in 1996 from
$99,322  in 1995.  This  represents  a  decrease  of  $28,207  (28%).  Oil sales
decreased by $23,254 (50%).  A 54% decrease in oil  production  reduced sales by
$25,332. This decrease was partially offset by a 10% increase in the average oil
sales  price.  Gas  sales  decreased  by  $4,953  (9%).  A 24%  decrease

                                       I-5

<PAGE>

in gas production  reduced sales by $12,521.  This decrease was partially offset
by a 19% increase in the average gas sales price.  The  increases in the average
sales prices  correspond  with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas. The decrease in oil and gas production was primarily due to the sale of
the Credo  acquisition  in the  first  quarter  of 1996,  coupled  with  natural
production  declines,  which were  especially  pronounced  on the Barnes  Estate
acquisition.

Lease operating  expenses for the first six months  decreased to $25,871 in 1996
from  $57,417 in 1995.  The decrease of $31,546  (55%) is  primarily  due to the
declines in  production,  noted above,  coupled with costs incurred on the Credo
acquisition to repair a casing leak in 1995.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased to $5,247 in the first six months
of 1996 from $58,340 in the first six months of 1995. This represents a decrease
of $53,093 (91%). The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced depreciation
and depletion expense by $19,789.  An 86% decrease in the depletion rate reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $33,304. The decrease in the
depletion rate was primarily due to the lower property basis  resulting from the
recognition of a $254,366 impairment of property in the first quarter of 1996.

Effective  February  1,  1996,  the  Company  sold  its  interest  in the  Credo
acquisition for $35,700. The Company recognized a gain of $2,229 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  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,  ("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 $254,366 for certain
oil and gas properties due to market  indications that the carrying amounts were
not fully recoverable.

On April 2, 1996, the Company settled a property  interest dispute on the Barnes
Estate acquisition.  In the settlement,  the Company agreed to pay $6,500 to the
plaintiff and convey 0.26%  overriding  royalty interest in the Barnes Estate #1
and #2 wells.  Such conveyance  should not have a material impact on the current
or future revenues of the Company.
    

General and administrative expenses decreased to $12,817 in the first six months
of 1996 from $25,677 in 1995. This decrease of $13,060 (51%) is primarily due to
$7,959 of legal  costs  incurred  in the  second  quarter of 1995 for a property
interest dispute on the Barnes Estate acquisition,  coupled with less staff time
required to manage the Company's operations in 1996.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

   
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  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's  "available  cash
flow" is  essentially  equal to the net  amount of cash  provided  by  operating
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, 1995
reserve  report  prepared by Gruy,  there  appears to be  sufficient  future net
revenues to pay all  obligations  and  expenses.  The General  Partner  does not
intend to accelerate  the  repayment of the debt beyond the Company's  cash flow
provided by operating  activities.  Future periodic  distributions  will be made
once sufficient net revenues are accumulated.
    

On August 9, 1996, the Company's  General Partner  submitted  preliminary  proxy
material  to the  Securities  Exchange  Commission  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
preliminary proxy material.

As of June 30,  1996,  the  Company  had no  material  commitments  for  capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
