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

First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1995

Oil and gas  sales for the  first  quarter  increased  from  $49,614  in 1995 to
$60,047  in 1996.  This  represents  a  decrease  of  $10,433  (21%).  Oil sales
increased  by $5,284 or 28%. A 16%  increase in oil  production  caused sales to
increase by $3,056.  A 10%  increase  in the  average oil sales price  increased
sales by an  additional  $2,228.  Gas sales  increased  by  $5,149 or 17%.  A 6%
increase in gas production  increased sales by $1,878. A 10% increase in average
gas  prices  increased  sales  by an  additional  $3,271.  The  increase  in oil
production was primarily the result of a partial  shut-in of production,  in the
first quarter of 1995,  from the Credo  acquisition to repair a casing leak. The
increase in gas  production  was  primarily  due to higher  production  from the
Barnes Estate acquisition due to increased demand during the quarter.The changes
in average prices  correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale of
oil and gas.

Lease operating  expenses decreased from $27,431 in the first quarter of 1995 to
$18,510 in the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease of $8,921 (33%) is primarily
due to  workover  costs  incurred in 1995 on the Credo  acquisition  to repair a
casing leak.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased from $26,041 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $7,598 in the first  quarter of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of
$18,443  (71%). A 73% decrease in the depletion  rate reduced  depreciation  and
depletion  expense  by  $20,763.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset  by the
increases in  production,  noted above.  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.  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.

General and  administrative  expenses increased from $6,621 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $6,799 in the first  quarter of 1996.  This  increase of $178 (3%) is
primarily due to $2,144 higher direct expenses  incurred by the Company in 1996,
partially  offset by less  staff  time being  required  to manage the  Company's
operations.

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

                                    I-5

<PAGE>



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 in the second quarter of
1995. Future distributions are dependent upon among other things, an increase in
the prices  received for oil and gas.  The Company will  continue to recover its
reserves and reduce its obligations in 1996. The general partner does not intend
to  accelerate  the  repayment  of the debt  beyond  the cash flow  provided  by
operating activities. Based upon current projected cash flows from its property,
it does not  appear  that  the  Company  will  have  sufficient  cash to pay its
operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions in the near
future.

As of March 31,  1996,  the  Company  had no  material  commitments  for capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
