ENEX 88-89 INCOME AND RETIREMENT FUND - SERIES 3, L.P.

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 $258,758 for certain
     oil and gas properties due primarily to downward  reserve  revisions on the
     Lake Decade  acquisition and lower prices in the market for the sale of oil
     and gas. 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  drillings could
     not be  justified.  The  well  which  has  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  writedowns  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.


First Quarter 1997 Compared to First Quarter 1996

Oil and gas  sales for the  first  quarter  increased  from  $11,120  in 1996 to
$12,587  in 1997.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $1,467  (13%).  Oil sales
increased by $1,537 or 21%. A 35%  increase in average net oil prices  increased
sales by $2,409.  This increase was  partially  offset by an 11% decrease in oil
production.  Gas sales decreased by $70 or 2%. A 19% decrease in average net gas
prices  reduced  sales by $794.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset by a 21%
increase in gas production.  The decrease in oil production was primarily due to
natural production declines. The increase in gas production was primarily due to
higher  production  from  the  El  Mac  acquisition  which  had  an  acidization
treatment. The increase in average net oil prices corresponds with higher prices
in the overall market for the sale of oil. The decrease in average net gas price
was  primarily  due  to  relatively  higher  operating  expenses  on  the El Mac
acquisition from which the Company receives a net profits royalty.

Depletion  expense  increased from $1,372 in the first quarter of 1996 to $3,670
in the first quarter of 1997. This represents an increase of $2,298. The changes
in production,  noted above, increased depletion expense by $37. A 160% increase
in the depletion rate increased  depletion expense by an additional  $2,261. The
increase in the depletion  rate was primarily due to a downward  revision 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 due primarily to downward  reserve  revisions on the Lake
Decade  acquisition  and lower prices in the market for the sale of oil and gas.
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  drillings could not be justified.  The well which has 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  writedowns taken by the Company in the first quarter
of 1996.
    

General and  administrative  expenses decreased from $3,637 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $2,611 in the first quarter of 1997. This decrease of $1,026 (28%) 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 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.
