PART I
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, 1997, Enex and its subsidiaries
employed 23 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.
I-1
<PAGE>
Valero Industrial Gas L.P., Michael Petroleum Corp. and Global
Natural Resources Corporation, accounted for 39%, 20% and 13%, respectively, of
the Company's total sales in 1996. Valero Industrial Gas L.P., Global Natural
Resources Corporation, GPM Gas Corporation, Fina Oil Corporation, and Pride
Pipeline Company accounted for 26%, 14%, 13%, 12% and 11%, respectively, of the
Company's total sales in 1995. 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." Passive
income or loss from publicly traded partnerships that are not taxed as
corporations generally cannot be applied against passive income or loss from
other sources.
I-2
<PAGE>
As stated in Item 5 of this Annual Report, there is no established public
trading market for the Company's limited partnership interests. In addition, the
Company derives more than 90% of its income within the meaning of section
7704(d) of the Code. Therefore, the Company should not be affected by the
publicly traded partnership rules.
In order to prevent the adverse tax consequences that would affect
the limited partners if the Company's limited partnership interests were to
become "publicly traded" in the future, the general partner may, after final
regulations have been issued by the Internal Revenue Service, submit to a vote
of limited partners a proposal to amend the Company's agreement of limited
partnership to provide, among other things, (a) that Enex shall have the right
to refuse to recognize any transfer of limited partnership interests if it
believes that such transfer occurred on a secondary market or the substantial
equivalent thereof; and (b) that all assignors and assignees of the limited
partnership interests shall be required to represent to Enex that any transfer
of limited partnership interests did not, to the best of their knowledge, occur
on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof.
Item 2. Description of Property
Presented below is a summary of the Company's property

subsequent capital items, etc. are not included.
Oil and Gas Reserves
For quantitative information regarding the Company's oil and gas
reserves, please see Supplementary Oil and Gas Information and related tables
which follow the Notes to Financial Statements in Item 7 of this report. The
Company has not filed any current oil and gas reserve estimates or included any
such estimates in reports to any federal or foreign governmental authority or
agency, including the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Proved oil and gas reserves reported herein are based on
engineering reports prepared by the petroleum engineering consulting firm of H.
J. Gruy and Associates, Inc. The reserves included in this report are estimates
only and should not be construed as exact quantities. Future conditions may
affect recovery of estimated reserves and revenue, and all reserves may be
subject to revision as more performance data become available. The proved
reserves used in this report conform to the applicable definitions promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. No major discovery or other favorable
or adverse event that could potentially cause a significant change in the
estimated proved reserves has occurred since December 31, 1996.
Net Oil and Gas Production
The following table shows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, the approximate production attributable to the Company's oil and gas
interests. The figures in the table represent "net production"; i.e., production
owned by the Company and produced to its interest after deducting royalty and
other similar interests. All production occurred in the United States.

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 $149,856 in 1996 from $177,344 in
1995. This represents a decrease of $27,488 or 15%. Oil sales decreased by
$35,474 or 43%. A 53% decline in oil production caused sales to decrease by
$43,751. This decrease was partially offset by a 21% increase in the average oil
sales price. Gas sales increased by $7,986 or 8%. A 26% increase in the average
gas sales price incresed sales by $21,459. This increase was partially offset by
a 14% decline in production. The increases in the average sales prices
correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas. The
decreases in oil and gas production were 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 $49,059 in 1996, from $88,409
in 1995. The decrease of $39,350 or 45% was primarily a result of the decreases
in oil and gas production, noted above, including the production from the Credo
acquisition which had relatively higher lease operating costs.
Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $9,198 in 1996 from
$121,546 in 1995. This represents a decrease of $112,348 or 92%. The changes in
production, noted above, caused depreciation and depletion to decrease by
$33,201, while a 90% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depreciation and
depletion expense by an additional $79,147. The depletion rate decrease was
primarily due to the lower property basis resulting from the recognition of a
$254,366 impairment in the first quarter of 1996, as noted below, coupled with
an upward revision of the gas reserves during December 1996.
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 changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas and significant decreases in the projected production from certain of
the Company's oil and gas properties.
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.
Effective August 1, 1996 the Company sold its interest in the Spider Lake 3-2
for $958. The Company recognized a gain of $680 from the sale. The
II-2
<PAGE>
impact of these sales on current and future net revenues are not expected to be
material, as such interests represented approximately 4% of historical and
future net revenues.
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 and, as such, should not have a
material impact on the current or future results of operations, financial
condition or liquidity of the Company.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $30,667 in 1996
from $44,299 in 1995. The decrease of $13,632 or 31% was primarily due to a
$12,983 decrease 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 1996. The case was settled in
the second quarter of 1996, as noted above.
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 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 net cash flow to the Company's partners.
The Company discontinued the payment of distributions in the second
quarter of 1995. In the second quarter of 1996, a distribution was made. 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 1997. The Company does not intend to purchase
additional properties or fund extensive development of existing oil and gas
properties, and as such; has no long-term liquidity needs. The Company's
projected cash flows from operations will provide sufficient funding to pay its
operating expenses and debt obligations. The general partner does not intend to
accelerate the repayment of the debt beyond the cash flow provided by operating,
financing and investing activities. The payment of future distributions will
depend on the Company's earnings, financial condition, working capital
requirements and other factors. It is anticipated that periodic distributions
will be made by the Company as cash becomes available. The Company plans to
repay the amount owed to the general partner in 1997.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for
capital expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant
developmental drilling activity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Partners
Enex Oil & Gas Income
Program IV - Series 1, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Enex Oil & Gas Income Program
IV-Series 1, L.P. (a New Jersey limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and
the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the general partner of Enex Oil &
Gas Income Program IV- Series 1, L.P. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Enex Oil & Gas Income Program IV-Series 1,
L.P. at December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

ENEX OIL & GAS INCOME PROGRAM IV - SERIES 1, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION
Enex Oil & Gas Income Program IV-Series 1, L.P. (the "Company"), a
New Jersey limited partnership, commenced operations on September
8, 1988, for the purpose of acquiring proved oil and gas
properties. Total limited partner contributions were $3,236,182, of
which $32,362 was contributed by Enex Resources Corporation
("Enex"), the general partner.
In accordance with the partnership agreement, the Company paid
commissions of $314,896 for solicited subscriptions to Enex
Securities Corporation, a subsidiary of Enex, and reimbursed Enex
for organization expenses of approximately $97,000.
Information relating to the allocation of costs and revenues
between Enex, as general partner, and the limited partners is as
follows:
Limited
Enex Partners
Commissions and selling expenses 100%
Company reimbursement of organization
expense 100%
Company property acquisition 100%
General and administrative costs 10% 90%
Costs of drilling and completing
development wells 10% 90%
Revenues from temporary investment of
partnership capital 100%
Revenues from producing properties 10% 90%
Operating costs (including general and
administrative costs associated with
operating producing properties) 10% 90%
At the point in time when the cash distributions to the limited
partners equal their subscriptions ("payout"), the costs of
drilling and completing development wells, revenues from producing
properties, general and administrative costs and operating costs
will be allocated 15% to the general partner and 85% to the limited
partners.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oil and Gas Properties - The Company uses the successful efforts
method of accounting for its oil and gas operations. Under this
method, the costs of all development wells are capitalized.
Capitalized costs are amortized on the units-of-production method
based on estimated total proved reserves. The acquisition costs of
improved oil and gas properties are capitalized and periodically
assessed for impairment.
II-9
<PAGE>
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 changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas and significant decreases in the projected production from
certain of the Company's oil and gas properties.
The Company's operating interests in oil and gas properties are
recorded using the pro rata consolidation method pursuant to
Interpretation 2 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18.
Cash Flows - The Company has presented its cash flows using the
indirect method and considers all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
General and Administrative Expenses - The Company reimburses the
General Partner for direct costs and administrative costs incurred
on its behalf. Administrative costs allocated to the Company are
computed on a cost basis in accordance with standard industry
practices by allocating the time spent by the General Partner's
personnel among all projects and by allocating rent and other
overhead on the basis of the relative direct time charges.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the 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 and disclosure of
contigent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
General - The Company is not a taxable entity for federal income
tax purposes. Such taxes are liabilities of the individual partners
and the amounts thereof will vary depending on the individual
situation of each partner. Accordingly, there is no provision for
income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

In accordance with the partnership agreement, the general partner
is required to purchase limited partner interests (at the option of
the limited partners) at annual intervals beginning after the
second year following the formation of the Company. The purchase
price, as specified in the partnership agreement, is based
primarily on reserve reports prepared by independent petroleum
engineers as reduced by a specified risk factor.
6. SIGNIFICANT PURCHASERS

Credo acquisition for $35,700. The Company recognized a gain of
$2,229 on the sale. Effective August 1, 1996 the Company sold its
interest in the Spider Lake 3-2 for $758. The Company recognized a

On January 4, 1996, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia against Mr. Carl alleging that Mr.
Carl violated Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange
Act"), and Rule 16a-2 and 16a-3 (and former Rule 16a-1) thereunder, by failing
to timely file reports concerning thirty-eight securities transactions in his
mother's brokerage accounts involving shares of Health Images, Inc. stock. The
SEC took the position that because Mr. Carl (1) provided substantial
III-2
<PAGE>
financial 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.

Accountant for Deloitte Haskins & Sells in Houston, Texas, auditing both closely
held and publicly owned oil and gas companies. From September 1981 to December
