ENEX OIL & GAS INCOME PROGRAM IV - SERIES 2, 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 $142,465 for certain
     oil and gas properties due to changes in the overall market for the sale of
     oil and gas and  significant  decreases in the  projected  production  from
     certain of the Company's oil and gas properties.

     3.  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.

4.       On April 7, 1997, the Company's  General  Partner mailed proxy material
         to the limited partners 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 proxy
         material.

5.       A cash  distribution was made to the limited partners of the Company in
         the amount of $13,416,  representing  net revenues from the sale of oil
         and  gas  produced  from   properties   owned  by  the  Company.   This
         distribution was made on January 31, 1997.

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  decreased  from  $52,626  in 1996 to
$24,318  in 1997.  This  represents  a  decrease  of  $28,308  (54%).  Oil sales
decreased  by $17,893 or 78%. An 82% decline in oil  production  caused sales to
decrease by $18,643.  This decrease was  partially  offset by an 18% increase in
the  average  oil sales  price.  Gas sales  decreased  by  $10,415 or 35%. A 53%
decrease in gas production reduced sales by $15,697. This decrease was partially
offset by a 38%  increase in the average gas sales price.  The  decreases in oil
and gas production  were  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.  The changes in average
prices  correspond  with  changes in the overall  market for the sale of oil and
gas.

Lease operating  expenses decreased from $14,892 in the first quarter of 1996 to
$7,717 in the first  quarter of 1997.  The decrease of $7,175 (48%) is primarily
due to the changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion expense decreased from $6,218 in the first quarter of
1996 to $970 in the first quarter of 1997.  This represents a decrease of $5,248
(84%).  The  changes  in  production,  noted  above,  reduced  depreciation  and
depletion  expense by $3,884.  A 58%  decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional  $1,364. The decrease in the
depletion  rate  was  primarily  due to an  upward  revision  of the oil and gas
reserves during December 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
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 changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas and  significant  decreases in the projected  production from certain of
the Company's oil and gas properties.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased from $5,602 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $4,286 in the first quarter of 1997. This decrease of $1,316 (23%) is
primarily  due to less  staff  time  being  required  to  manage  the  Company's
operations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

On April 7, 1997,  the Company's  General  Partner  mailed proxy material to the
limited partners 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 proxy material.

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  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
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, financing and investing 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, 1996
reserve  report  prepared by Gruy,  there  appears to be  sufficient  future net
revenues to pay all  obligations  and  expenses.  The Company does not intend to
purchase additional properties or fund extensive development of existing oil and
gas properties,  and as such; has no long-term  liquidity  needs.  The Company's
projected cash flows from operations will provide  sufficient funding to pay its
operating expenses and debt obligations.  The general partner does not intend to
accelerate the repayment of the debt beyond the cash flow provided by operating,
financing and investing activities. Based upon current projected cash flows from
its property,  it does not appear that the Company will have  sufficient cash to
pay distributions and pay its operating expenses, and meet its debt obligations.
Future  periodic  distributions  will be made once  sufficient  net revenues are
accumulated.

As of March 31,  1997,  the  Company  had no  material  commitments  for capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
