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.       On August 9, 1996, the Company's General Partner submitted  preliminary
         proxy material to the Securities Exchange Commission with respect to a
         proposed consolidation of the Company with 33 other managed  limited 
         partnerships.  The terms and conditions of the proposed  consolidation
         are set forth in such preliminary proxy material.

   
3.   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 $142,465 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 Operations.

Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1996

Oil and gas sales for the second quarter  decreased to $9,311 in 1996 to $38,228
in 1995.  This  represents a decrease of $28,917 (76%).  Oil sales  decreased by
$22,297  (100%).  There was no oil production in the second quarter of 1996 from
the Credo  acquisition  which was sold,  effective  February 1, 1996.  Gas sales
decreased by $6,620  (47%).  A 58% decrease in gas  production  reduced sales by
$9,798.  This decrease was partially offset by a 45% increase in the average gas
sales  price.  The  increase in the average  gas sales  price  corresponds  with
changes  in the  overall  market  for  the  sale  of gas.  The  decrease  in gas
production  was 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 $6,101 in 1996 from $24,746 in 1995. The
decrease of $18,645 (75%) is primarily due to the changes in  production,  noted
above,  coupled with costs incurred on the Credo  acquisition to repair a casing
leak in the second quarter of 1995.

Depreciation and depletion  expense decreased to a negative $1,917 in the second
quarter of 1996 from $23,473 in the second  quarter of 1995.  This  represents a
decrease of $25,390.  The negative  amount for the second quarter of 1996 is due
to the reversal of an accrual of sales from the Credo  acquisition,  the sale of
which was closed in April, 1996, but was effective February 1, 1996. The changes
in  production,  noted above,  reduced  depreciation  and  depletion  expense by
$18,055.  A 135%  decrease  in  the  depletion  rate  reduced  depreciation  and
depletion  expense by an additional  $7,335.  The decrease in the depletion rate
was primarily due to the lower property basis  resulting from the recognition of
a $142,465 impairment of property in the first quarter of 1996.

   
On April 2, 1996, the Company settled a property  interest dispute on the Barnes
Estate acquisition.  In the settlement,  the Company agreed to pay $5,000 to the
plaintiff and convey 0.20%  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.
    


General and administrative  expenses decreased to $5,085 in 1996 from $15,403 in
1995.  This  decrease  of  $10,318  is  primarily  due to $6,122 of legal  costs
incurred in the second  quarter of 1995 for a property  interest  dispute on the
Barnes Estate acquisition, coupled with less staff time being required to manage
the Company's operations in 1996.

First Six Months in 1995 Compared to First Six Months in 1996

Oil and gas sales for the first six  months  decreased  to  $61,937 in 1996 from
$77,983  in 1995.  This  represents  a  decrease  of  $16,046  (21%).  Oil sales
decreased by $15,095 (41%).  A 45%

                                       I-5

<PAGE>

decrease in oil production reduced sales by $16,612. This decrease was partially
offset by a 7% increase in the average oil sales price.  Gas sales  decreased by
$903 (2%).  A 22%  decrease  in gas  production  reduced  sales by $9,113.  This
decrease was partially  offset by a 26% increase in the average gas sales price.
The changes in the average sales prices  correspond  with changes in the overall
market for the sale of oil and gas. The decrease in oil and gas  production  was
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 for the first six months  decreased to $20,993 in 1996
from  $48,539 in 1995.  The decrease of $27,546  (57%) is  primarily  due to the
declines in  production,  noted above,  coupled with costs incurred on the Credo
acquisition to repair a casing leak in 1995.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased to $4,301 in the first six months
of 1996 from $41,714 in the first six months of 1995. This represents a decrease
of $37,413 (90%). The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced depreciation
and depletion expense by $12,467.  An 85% decrease in the depletion rate reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $24,946. The decrease in the
depletion rate was primarily due to the lower property basis  resulting from the
recognition of a $142,465 impairment of property in the first quarter of 1996.

Effective  February  1,  1996,  the  Company  sold  its  interest  in the  Credo
acquisition for $29,925. The Company recognized a gain of $1,868 on the sale.

   
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

plaintiff and convey 0.20%  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.
    

General and administrative expenses decreased to $10,687 in 1996 from $20,725 in
1995.  This  decrease of $10,038 (48%) is primarily due to $6,122 of legal costs
incurred in the second

quarter  of  1995  for  a  property   interest  dispute  on  the  Barnes  Estate
acquisition, coupled with less staff time being required to manage the Company's
operations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

   
The  Company's  cash  flow is a direct  result  of the  amount  of net  proceeds
realized  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
remaining  available  cash  flow  to  the  Company's  partners.   The  Company's
"available cash flow" is essentially equal to the net amount of cash provided by
operating activities.

The  Company  discontinued  the payment of  distributions  during  1995.  Future
distributions  are dependent  upon,  among other  things,  an increase in prices
received for oil and gas. The Company will  continue to recover its reserves and
distribute  to the limited  partners the net proceeds  realized form the sale of
oil and gas  production.  Distribution  amounts  are  subject  to  change if net
revenues  are  greater or less than  expected.  Based on the  December  31, 1995
reserve  report  prepared by Gruy,  there  appears to be  sufficient  future net
revenues to pay all  obligations  and  expenses.  The General  Partner  does not
intend to accelerate  the  repayment of the debt beyond the Company's  cash flow
provided by operating  activities.  Future periodic  distributions  will be made
once sufficient net revenues are accumulated.
    

On August 9, 1996, the Company's  General Partner  submitted  preliminary  proxy
material  to the  Securities  Exchange  Commission  with  respect  to a proposed
consolidation  of the Company with 33 other managed  limited  partnerships.  The
terms  and  conditions  of the  proposed  consolidation  are set  forth  in such
preliminary proxy material.

As of June 30,  1996,  the  Company  had no  material  commitments  for  capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
