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. 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 $50,639 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 Operation.


Third Quarter 1995 Compared to Third Quarter 1996

Oil and gas sales for the third quarter decreased to $6,778 in 1996 from $11,208
in 1995.  This  represents a decrease of $4,430  (40%).  Oil sales  decreased by
$2,560 or 35%. A 43% decrease in the average net oil sales price decreased sales
by  $3,747.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset  by a 15%  increase  in  oil
production.  Gas sales decreased by $1,870 or 51%. A 62% decrease in the average
net gas sales price  decreased  sales by $3,077.  This  decrease  was  partially
offset  by an 32%  increase  in gas  production.  The  increases  in oil and gas
production were primarily due to the successful  completion of a workover on the
Lake Decade  acquisition  in the third quarter of 1996. The decreases in average
net sales  prices was the result of the lower net  profits  received  during the
period as a result of higher  expenses  incurred on the Lake Decade  acquisition
for workover costs in the third quarter of 1996.

Depletion  expense  decreased to $6,660 in the third quarter of 1996 from $6,845
in the third  quarter of 1995.  This  represents  a decrease of $185 (3%). A 21%
decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced  depletion  expense by  $1,910.  This
decrease was partially  offset by the changes in  production,  noted above.  The
decrease in the depletion  rate was primarily  due to the lower  property  basis
resulting from the  recognition of a $258,758  property  impairment in the first
quarter of 1996.

General and  administrative  expenses increased to $2,538 in 1996 from $2,473 in
1995.  This  increase  of $65 (3%) is  primarily  due to more  staff  time being
required to manage the Company's operations.

First Nine Months in 1995 Compared to First Nine Months in 1996

Oil and gas sales for the first nine  months  decreased  to $26,665 in 1996 from
$28,540 in 1995.  This represents a decrease of $1,875 (7%). Oil sales decreased
by $1,383 or 7%. An 8% decrease  in the  average  net oil sales price  decreased
sales by $1,775.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset by a 2% increase in oil
production.  Gas sales decreased by $492 or 6%. A 5% decrease in the average net
gas sales price decreased sales by $425. A 1% decrease in gas production reduced
gas sales by an  additional  $67.  The  changes in oil and gas  production  were
primarily  due to the  successful  completion  of a workover  on the Lake Decade
acquisition in the third quarter of 1996, offset by natural production declines.
The  decreases  in average net sales prices were the result of lower net profits
received  from the Lake  decade  acquisition  due to  higher  workover  expenses
incurred in 1996,  partially  offset by higher prices in the overall  market for
the sale of oil and gas.

Depletion  expense  decreased  to $16,022 in the first nine  months of 1996 from
$25,151 in the first nine months of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of $9,129
(36%). A 37% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depletion expense by $9,255.
This decrease was partially offset by the

changes in  production,  noted  above.  The decrease in the  depletion  rate was
primarily due to the lower  property basis  resulting from the  recognition of a
$258,758 property impairment in the first quarter of 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 $258,758 for certain
oil and gas  properties due to market  conditions  and reserve  revisions on the
Lake Decade  acquisition,  which  indicated  that the carrying  amounts were not
fully recoverable.

General and  administrative  expenses increased to $8,989 in 1996 from $7,559 in
1995.  This  increase of $1,430 (19%) is primarily  due to more staff time being
required to manage the Company's operations.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's cash flow from  operations is a direct result of the amount of net
proceeds  realized  from the sale of oil and gas  production.  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  discontinued the payment of distributions  during 1995. The Company
will continue to recover its reserves and distribute to the limited partners the
net proceeds  realized from the sale of oil and gas production  after payment of
its debt obligations. Distribution amounts are subject to change if net revenues
are greater or less than expected.  Based upon current projected cash flows from
the properties, it does not appear that the Company will have sufficient cash to
pay its operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions.
