Parts I and II of this Report contain forward looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the actual
events and results will not be materially different than the anticipated results
described in the forward looking statements. See "Item 1. Business" for a
description of various factors that could materially affect the ability of the
Partnership to achieve the anticipated results described in the forward looking
statements.
PART I
ITEM 1. Business
Parker & Parsley 90-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware. As of August 8, 1997,
Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") became the managing general
partner of the Partnership. Prior to August 8, 1997, the Partnership's managing
general partner was Parker & Parsley Development L.P. ("PPDLP"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company ("Parker & Parsley"). On August
7, 1997, Parker & Parsley and Mesa Inc. ("Mesa") received shareholder approval
to merge and create Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). On August 8,
1997, PPDLP was merged with and into Pioneer USA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Pioneer, resulting in Pioneer USA becoming the managing general partner of the
Partnership as PPDLP's successor by merger. For a more complete description of
the Parker & Parsley and Mesa merger, see Pioneer's Registration Statement on
Form S-4 as filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
A Registration Statement, as amended, filed pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, registering limited partnership interests aggregating $70,000,000 in a
series of Delaware limited partnerships formed under the Parker & Parsley 89-90
Development Drilling Program, was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 1, 1989. On April 30, 1990, the offering of
limited partnership interests in the Partnership, the third partnership formed
under such registration statement, was closed, with interests aggregating
$6,811,000 being sold to 525 subscribers.
The Partnership engages primarily in oil and gas development and production and
is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. See "Item 6.
Selected Financial Data" and "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data" of this report for a summary of the Partnership's revenue, income and
identifiable assets.
The principal markets during 1997 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. The principal markets for the
Partnership's gas were companies that have pipelines located near the
Partnership's gas producing properties. Of the Partnership's total oil and gas
revenues for 1997, approximately 58% and 19% were attributable to sales made to
Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. and Western Gas Resources, Inc., respectively.
The Partnership's revenues, profitability, cash flow and future rate of growth
are highly dependent on the prevailing prices of oil and gas, which are affected
by numerous factors beyond the Partnership's control. Oil and gas prices
historically have been very volatile. A substantial or extended decline in the
prices of oil or gas could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
2
<PAGE>
revenues, profitability and cash flow and could, under certain circumstances,
result in a reduction in the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties.
Because of the demand for oil and gas, the Partnership does not believe that the
termination of the sales of its products to any one customer would have a
material adverse impact on its operations. The loss of a particular customer for
gas may have an effect if that particular customer has the only gas pipeline
located in the areas of the Partnership's gas producing properties. The
Partnership believes, however, that the effect would be temporary, until
alternative arrangements could be made.
Federal and state regulation of oil and gas operations generally includes the
fixing of maximum prices for regulated categories of natural gas, the imposition
of maximum allowable production rates, the taxation of income and other items,
and the protection of the environment. Although the Partnership believes that
its business operations do not impair environmental quality and that its costs
of complying with any applicable environmental regulations are not currently
significant, the Partnership cannot predict what, if any, effect these
environmental regulations may have on its current or future operations.
The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs
1,133 persons, many of whom dedicated a part of their time to the conduct of the
Partnership's business during the period for which this report is filed. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.
Numerous uncertainties exist in estimating quantities of proved reserves and
future net revenues therefrom. The estimates of proved reserves and related
future net revenues set forth in this report are based on various assumptions,
which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, such estimates should
not be construed as estimates of the current market value of the Partnership's
proved reserves.
No material part of the Partnership's business is seasonal and the Partnership
conducts no foreign operations.
ITEM 2. Properties
The Partnership's properties consist primarily of leasehold interests in
properties on which oil and gas wells are located. Such property interests are
often subject to landowner royalties, overriding royalties and other oil and gas
leasehold interests.
Fractional working interests in developmental oil and gas prospects located
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 27
oil and gas wells. Two wells have been sold; one in 1996 and one in 1993. At
December 31, 1997, 25 wells were producing.
For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 and changes in such quantities for
the years then ended, see Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements included in
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" below. Such reserves have
been estimated by the engineering staff of Pioneer USA with a review by an
independent petroleum consultant.

<PAGE>
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
The Partnership is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its
business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests, other claims for
damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets and other matters,
none of which Pioneer believes to be material.
ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 1997.

PART II
ITEM 5. Market for Partnership's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
At March 9, 1998, the Partnership had 6,811 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 525 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA has made certain commitments to purchase
partnership interests at a computed value.
Revenues which, in the sole judgement of the managing general partner, are not
required to meet the Partnership's obligations are distributed to the partners
at least quarterly in accordance with the limited partnership agreement. During
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, $361,394 and $366,110, respectively,
of such revenue-related distributions were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
1997 compared to 1996
The Partnership's 1997 oil and gas revenues decreased 17% to $643,882 from
$777,677 in 1996. The decrease in revenues resulted from declines in production
and lower average prices received. In 1997, 21,972 barrels of oil, 4,763 barrels
of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 68,973 mcf of gas were sold, or 38,231
barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1996, 25,428 barrels of oil and 88,919
mcf of gas were sold, or 40,248 BOEs.
Consistent with the managing general partner, the Partnership has historically
accounted for processed natural gas production as wellhead production on a wet
gas basis. As a result of the merger with Mesa, the managing general partner has
adopted Mesa's accounting policy and now accounts for processed natural gas
production in two components: natural gas liquids and dry residue gas. As a
result of the change in the managing general partner's policy, the Partnership
now accounts for processed natural gas production as processed natural gas
liquids and dry residue gas. Consequently, separate product volumes will not be
comparable for periods prior to September 30, 1997.
The declines in production volumes were primarily attributable to the decline
characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. Because of these
characteristics, management expects a certain amount of decline in production to
continue in the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves
are fully depleted.
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased 10% from $21.62 in 1996
to $19.41 in 1997. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during 1997 was
$11.16. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 7% in 1997 to $2.38
compared to $2.56 in 1996. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely
volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of
volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore
sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than
that received in 1997.
Total costs and expenses increased in 1997 to $801,240 as compared to $523,562
in 1996, an increase of $277,678, or 53%. This increase was primarily due to the
impairment of oil and gas properties and an increase in production costs, offset
by declines in loss on disposition of assets, depletion and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").
Production costs were $305,774 in 1997 and $298,749 in 1996, resulting in a
$7,025 increase. The increase was due to additional well maintenance costs,
offset by a decrease in production taxes.
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A
decreased, in aggregate, 9% from $26,252 in 1996 to $23,842 in 1997. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $20,526 in 1997 and $22,989 in
1996 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. G&A is allocated, in part,
to the Partnership by the managing general partner. Such allocated expenses are
determined by the managing general partner based upon its judgement of the level
6
<PAGE>
of activity of the Partnership relative to the managing general partner's
activities and other entities it manages. The method of allocation has varied in
certain years and may do so again depending on the activities of the managed
entities.
The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") effective as of October 1, 1995 (see Notes 2 and 3
of Notes to Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data"). As a result of the review and evaluation of its long-lived
assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a non-cash charge of $321,019
related to its oil and gas properties during the fourth quarter of 1997.
Depletion was $150,605 in 1997 compared to $169,844 in 1996. This represented a
decrease of $19,239, or 11%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a
decline in oil production of 3,456 barrels from 1996.
A loss on disposition of assets of $28,717 was recognized during 1996 resulting
from the sale of one gas well and the write-off of remaining capitalized well
costs of $35,532 less proceeds received of $6,815.
1996 compared to 1995
The Partnership's 1996 oil and gas revenues increased 18% to $777,677 from
$661,198 in 1995. The increase in revenues resulted from a 26% increase in the
average price received per barrel of oil and a 50% increase in the average price
received per mcf of gas, offset declines in barrels of oil and mcf of gas
produced and sold. In 1996, 25,428 barrels of oil were sold compared to 27,823
in 1995, a decrease of 2,395 barrels, or 9%. In 1996, 88,919 mcf of gas were
sold compared to 107,613 in 1995, a decrease of 18,694 mcf, or 17%. Of this
decrease, 10,464 mcf, or 10%, was attributable to the sale of one gas well
during 1996. The remainder of the decrease, 8,230 mcf or 7%, was due to the
decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.45 from $17.17 in 1995
to $21.62 in 1996. The average price received per mcf of gas increased in 1996
to $2.56 compared to $1.71 in 1995.
Total costs and expenses decreased in 1996 to $523,562 as compared to $1,365,678
in 1995, a decrease of $842,116, or 62%. This decrease was due to declines in
impairment of oil and gas properties, production costs, depletion and
amortization of organization costs, offset by increases in G&A and loss on sale
of assets.
Production costs were $298,749 in 1996 and $331,241 in 1995, resulting in a
$32,492 decrease, or 10%. The decrease was due to a decline in well maintenance
costs and lower ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes.
During this period, G&A increased, in aggregate, 10% from $23,890 in 1995 to
$26,252 in 1996. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $22,989 in
1996 and $19,345 in 1995 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.
The Partnership adopted SFAS 121 effective as of October 1, 1995 (see Notes 2
and 3 of Notes to Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data"). As a result of the review and evaluation of its
long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a non-cash charge
of $583,706 related to its oil and gas properties during the fourth quarter of
1995.
7
<PAGE>
Depletion was $169,844 in 1996 compared to $425,884 in 1995. This represented a
decrease of $256,040, or 60%. This decrease was primarily attributable to the
following factors: (i) a reduction in the Partnership's net depletion basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121, (ii) a reduction of 2,395 barrels
from 1995, and (iii) an increase in oil and gas reserves during 1996 as a result
of higher commodity prices.
A loss on disposition of assets of $28,717 was recognized during 1996 resulting
from the sale of one gas well and the write-off of remaining capitalized well
costs of $35,532 less proceeds received of $6,815.
Impact of inflation and changing prices on sales and net income
Inflation impacts the fixed overhead rate charges of the lease operating
expenses for the Partnership. During 1995, the annual change in the index of
average weekly earnings of crude petroleum and gas production workers issued by
the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics increased by 4.4%. The
1996 annual change in the average weekly earnings increased by 4.1%. The 1997
index (effective April 1, 1997) increased 2%. The impact of inflation for other
lease operating expenses is small due to the current economic condition of the
oil industry.
The oil and gas industry experienced volatility during the past decade because
of the fluctuation of the supply of most fossil fuels relative to the demand for
such products and other uncertainties in the world energy markets causing
significant fluctuations in oil and gas prices. During 1997, the price per
barrel for oil production similar to the Partnership's ranged from approximately
$16.00 to $23.00. During most of 1997 and 1996, the Partnership benefitted from
higher oil prices as compared to previous years. However, during the fourth
quarter of 1997, oil prices began a downward trend that has continued into March
1998. On March 19, 1998, the market price for West Texas intermediate crude was
$12.00 per barrel. A continuation of the oil price environment experienced
during the first quarter of 1998 will have an adverse effect on the
Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in additional
decreases in the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas properties.
Prices for natural gas are subject to ordinary seasonal fluctuations, and this
volatility of natural gas prices may result in production being curtailed and,
in some cases, wells being completely shut-in.
Liquidity and capital resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $4,961 during the year ended
December 31, 1997 from the year ended December 31, 1996, attributable to a
decrease in oil and gas receipts, offset by a decline in production costs paid.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
The Partnership's investing activities during 1997 and 1996 were for
expenditures related to oil and gas equipment replacement on active properties.
One gas well was sold during 1996, resulting in the receipt of $6,815 in
proceeds from the sale.
8
<PAGE>
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient in 1997 for distributions to the partners of $365,044 of
which $3,650 was distributed to the managing general partner and $361,394 to the
limited partners. In 1996, cash was sufficient for distributions to the partners
of $369,808 of which $3,698 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$366,110 to the limited partners.
It is expected that future net cash provided by operations will be sufficient
for any capital expenditures and any distributions. As the production from the
properties declines, distributions are also expected to decrease.
Information systems for the year 2000
The general partner will be required to modify its information systems in order
to accurately process Partnership data referencing the year 2000. Because of the
importance of occurrence dates in the oil and gas industry, the consequences of
not pursuing these modifications could be very significant to the Partnership's
ability to manage and report operating activities. Currently, the general
partner plans to contract with third parties to perform the software programming
changes necessary to correct any existing deficiencies. Such programming changes
are anticipated to be completed and tested by March 1, 1999. The managing
general partner will allocate a portion of the costs of the year 2000
programming charges to the Partnership when they are incurred, along with
recurring general and administrative expenses as defined pursuant to the
partnership agreement. Although the costs are not estimable at this time, they
should not be significant to the Partnership.

PARKER & PARSLEY 90-A, L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
Note 1. Organization and nature of operations
Parker & Parsley 90-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware. As of August 8, 1997,
Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") became the managing general
partner of the Partnership. Prior to August 8, 1997, the Partnership's managing
general partner was Parker & Parsley Development L.P. ("PPDLP"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company ("Parker & Parsley"). On August
7, 1997, Parker & Parsley and Mesa Inc. received shareholder approval to merge
and create Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). On August 8, 1997,
PPDLP was merged with and into Pioneer USA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Pioneer, resulting in Pioneer USA becoming the managing general partner of the
Partnership as PPDLP's successor by merger.
The Partnership engages primarily in oil and gas development and production
in the Spraberry Trend area of West Texas and is not involved in any industry
segment other than oil and gas.
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
The Partnership accounts for long-lived assets to be disposed of at the
lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell once management
has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets.
Oil and gas properties - The Partnership utilizes the successful efforts
method of accounting for its oil and gas properties and equipment. Under this
method, all costs associated with productive wells and nonproductive development
wells are capitalized while nonproductive exploration costs are expensed.
Capitalized costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the
unit-of-production method on a property-by-property basis based on proved oil
(dominant mineral) reserves as determined by the engineering staff of Pioneer
USA, the Partnership's managing general partner, and reviewed by independent
petroleum consultants. The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise
disposed of and the related allowances for depletion are eliminated from the
accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Impairment of long-lived assets - In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"), the
Partnership reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used on an individual
property basis, including oil and gas properties accounted for under the
successful efforts method of accounting, whenever events or circumstances
16
<PAGE>
indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future cash flows is
less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, the
Partnership recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements - Preparation
of the accompanying 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
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Organization costs - Organization costs are capitalized and amortized on
the straight-line method over 60 months.
Net income (loss) per limited partnership interest - The net income (loss)
per limited partnership interest is calculated by using the number of
outstanding limited partnership interests.
Income taxes - A Federal income tax provision has not been included in the
financial statements as the income of the Partnership is included in the
individual Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.
Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents include depository accounts held by banks.
General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses
are allocated in part to the Partnership by the managing general partner or its
affiliates. Such allocated expenses are determined by the managing general
partner based upon its judgement of the level of activity of the Partnership
relative to the managing general partner's activities and other entities it
manages. The method of allocation has varied in certain years and may do so
again depending on the activities of the managed entities.
Environmental - The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state and
local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly
changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may
require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the
disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future
economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by
past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed.
Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when
environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be
reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable.
Note 3. Impairment of long-lived assets
The Partnership adopted SFAS 121 effective October 1, 1995. In order to
determine whether an impairment has occurred, the Partnership estimates the
expected future cash flows of its oil and gas properties and compares such
17
<PAGE>
future cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to
determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. For those oil and gas
properties for which the carrying amount exceeded the estimated future cash
flows, an impairment was determined to exist; therefore, the Partnership
adjusted the carrying amount of those oil and gas properties to their fair value
as determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result of the review
and evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership
recognized non-cash charges of $321,019 and $583,706 related to its oil and gas
properties during the fourth quarters of 1997 and 1995, respectively.
Note 4. Income taxes
The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $669,632 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 1997.

Note 7. Oil and gas information (unaudited)
The following table presents information relating to the Partnership's
estimated proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved and located within the United States. The Partnership's
reserves are based on an evaluation prepared by the engineering staff of Pioneer
USA and reviewed by an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reserve value information
is available to limited partners pursuant to the Partnership agreement and
therefore, is not presented.

calculated using December 31, 1997 prices of $17.16 per barrel of oil, $12.50
per barrel of NGLs and $2.14 per mcf of gas, discounted at 10% was approximately
$1,617,000 and undiscounted was $2,856,000 at December 31, 1997. Subsequent to
December 31, 1997, the prices or oil and gas have been declining, and on March
19, 1998, the average prices for the Partnership's oil and gas were
approximately $12.00 and $2.05, respectively.
The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise
and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future information
becomes available.
Note 8. Major customers
The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil
and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10%

Pioneer USA is party to a long-term agreement pursuant to which Pioneer USA
and affiliates are to sell to Basis Petroleum, Inc. (formerly Phibro Energy,
Inc.)substantially all crude oil (including condensate) which any of such
entities have the right to market from time to time. On November 25, 1996,
Pioneer USA consented to the assignment of the agreement to Genesis Crude Oil,
L.P. ("Genesis"), a limited partnership formed by Basis Petroleum, Inc. and
Howell Corporation. The price to be paid by Genesis for oil purchased under the
agreement ("Genesis Agreement") is to be competitive with prices paid by other
substantial purchasers in the same areas who are significant competitors of
Genesis. The price to be paid for oil purchased under the Genesis Agreement
includes a market-related bonus that may vary from month to month based upon
spot oil prices at various commodity trade points. The term of the Genesis
Agreement is through June 30, 1998, and it may continue thereafter subject to
termination rights afforded each party. Salomon, Inc., the parent company of
Basis Petroleum, Inc. and a subordinated limited partner in Genesis, secures the
payment obligations under the Genesis Agreement with a $25 million payment
guarantee. Accounts receivable-oil and gas sales included $31,161 due from
Genesis at December 31, 1997.
Note 9. Organization and operations
The Partnership was organized April 30, 1990 as a limited partnership under
the Delaware Act for the purpose of acquiring and developing oil and gas
properties. The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions
of the limited partnership agreement:
Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
Partnership is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. Under
the limited partnership agreement, the managing general partner pays 1%
of the Partnership's acquisition, drilling and completion costs and 1% of
its operating and general and administrative expenses. In return, it is
allocated 1% of the Partnership's revenues.
Limited partner liability - The maximum amount of liability of any
limited partner is the total contributions of such partner plus his share
of any undistributed profits.
Initial capital contributions - The limited partners entered into
subscription agreements for aggregate capital contributions of
$6,811,000. Pioneer USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of
initial Partnership capital less commission and organization and offering
costs allocated to the limited partners and to contribute amounts
necessary to pay costs and expenses allocated to it under the Partnership
agreement to the extent its share of revenues does not cover such costs.
Note 10. Disposition of Assets
Loss on disposition of assets was due to a loss of $28,717 on sale of
assets during 1996. This loss was the result of the write-off of remaining
capitalized well costs for one gas well of $35,532, less proceeds received of
$6,815.
