         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 $258,758  for certain oil and gas  properties
          primarily  due  to  downward  reserve  revisions  on the  Lake  Decade
          acquisition. The Lake Decade acquisition included significant reserves
          that  were   considered   "proved"  but  not  yet  developed.   Proved
          undeveloped  reserves  were  assigned to these  leases based on offset
          production in existing  wells and on geologic  mapping of the existing
          wells north of the producing wells.  Enex and its affiliated  entities
          owned less than 10% of this  acquisition.  The other working  interest
          owners which held the remaining interest in the acquisition, including
          the  operator of the field,  also  carried  these  reserves as "proved
          undeveloped"   reserves   prior  to  1996.   Wells  drilled  near  the
          acquisition in an attempt to increase  production  from the field were
          dry holes. Revised geologic mapping, based on production from existing
          wells and the  unsuccessful  wells  drilled  offsetting  the property,
          indicated  a much  smaller  productive  area than had been  originally
          calculated.  It was determined by the operator of the acquisition that
          future drilling could not be justified. The well which was holding the
          lease, which had undeveloped  reserves assigned to it, was recompleted
          by the  operator in 1996 to a zone in which the Company did not own an
          interest.  As a result, the lease expired and the undeveloped reserves
          associated with the lease had to be written off. This was the cause of
          both the downward reserve  revisions in 1996 and the reserve valuation
          write downs taken by the Company in the first quarter of 1996.

3.       On April 24, 1997, the Company's General Partner submitted  preliminary
         proxy material to the Securities  Exchange Commission with respect to a
         proposed liquidation of the Company.

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

Second Quarter 1997 Compared to Second Quarter 1996

Oil and gas  sales  for the  second  quarter  increased  from  $8,767 in 1996 to
$12,813  in 1997.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $4,046  (46%).  Oil sales
increased by $3,434 or 52%. A 31% increase in oil production  increased sales by
$2,031.  A 16% increase in the average net oil sales price increased sales by an
additional  $1,403.  Gas sales  increased  by $612 or 28%. A 5%  increase in gas
production  increased sales by $121. A 21% increase in the average net gas sales
price  increased  sales by an  additional  $491.  The  increases  in oil and gas
production  were primarily due to successful  workovers  performed on the El Mac
acquisition  in 1996.  The  increases in average net prices were  primarily  the
result  of lower  expenses  incurred  on the  Company's  net  profit  interests,
including  on the El Mac  acquisition  which  incurred  workover  charges in the
second quarter of 1996.

Depletion  expense decreased from $7,990 in the second quarter of 1996 to $3,473
in the second quarter of 1997. This represents a decrease of $4,517 (57%). A 63%
decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced  depletion  expense by  $5,978.  This
decrease was partially  offset by the increases in production,  noted above. The
decrease in the depletion rate was primarily due to relatively higher production
from the El Mac and Bagley  acquisitions  which have relatively  lower depletion
rates, partially offset by downward revisions of the oil and gas reserves during
December 1996.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased from $2,814 in 1996 to $2,692 in
1997.  This  decrease  of $122 (4%) is  primarily  due to less  staff time being
required to manage the Company's operations.

First Six Months in 1997 Compared to First Six Months in 1996

Oil and gas sales for the first six  months  increased  from  $19,887 in 1996 to
$25,400  in 1997.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $5,513  (28%).  Oil sales
increased by $4,971 or 35%. A 6% increase in oil production  increased  sales by
$921.  A 27% increase in the average net oil sales price  increased  sales by an
additional  $4,050.  Gas sales  increased  by $542 or 10%. A 14% increase in gas
production  increased sales by $764. This increase was partially  offset by a 3%
decrease  in the  average  net gas sales  price.  The  increases  in oil and gas
production  were primarily due to successful  workovers  performed on the El Mac
acquisition  in 1996.  The increase in average net oil sales price was primarily
the result of lower  expenses  incurred on the Company's  net profit  interests,
including  on the El Mac  acquisition  which  incurred  workover  charges in the
second  quarter of 1996. The decrease in average net gas price was primarily due
to relatively  higher  operating  expenses on the Lake Decade  acquisition  from
which the Company receives a net profits royalty.

Depletion  expense  decreased  from  $9,362 in the  first six  months of 1996 to
$7,143 in the first six months of 1997.  This  represents  a decrease  of $2,219
(24%). A 31% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depletion expense by $3,137.
This decrease was partially offset by the increases in production,  noted above.
The decrease in the depletion rate was primarily due to relatively higher

production from the El Mac and Bagley  acquisitions  which have relatively lower
depletion  rates,  partially  offset by  downward  revisions  of the oil and 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 $258,758 for certain
oil and gas properties  primarily due to downward reserve  revisions on the Lake
Decade acquisition.  The Lake Decade acquisition  included  significant reserves
that were considered "proved" but not yet developed. Proved undeveloped reserves
were assigned to these leases based on offset  production in existing  wells and
on geologic mapping of the existing wells north of the producing wells. Enex and
its  affiliated  entities  owned  less than 10% of this  acquisition.  The other
working  interest owners which held the remaining  interest in the  acquisition,
including  the  operator of the field,  also carried  these  reserves as "proved
undeveloped"  reserves prior to 1996.  Wells drilled near the  acquisition in an
attempt to increase  production from the field were dry holes.  Revised geologic
mapping,  based on production  from existing  wells and the  unsuccessful  wells
drilled  offsetting the property,  indicated a much smaller productive area than
had  been  originally  calculated.  It was  determined  by the  operator  of the
acquisition  that future  drilling  could not be  justified.  The well which was
holding  the  lease,  which  had  undeveloped   reserves  assigned  to  it,  was
recompleted  by the  operator in 1996 to a zone in which the Company did not own
an  interest.  As a  result,  the lease  expired  and the  undeveloped  reserves
associated  with the lease had to be written off. This was the cause of both the
downward reserve  revisions in 1996 and the reserve  valuation write downs taken
by the Company in the first quarter of 1996.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased from $6,451 in 1996 to $5,303 in
1997.  This  decrease of $1,148 (18%) is primarily  due to less 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 1996 to 1997 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

                                       I-6

partners.

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.

On April 24, 1997, the Company's  General Partner  submitted  preliminary  proxy
material  to the  Securities  Exchange  Commission  with  respect  to a proposed
liquidation of the Company.
