NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) General Information -
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Partnership and are unaudited except for the balance sheet at
December 31, 1997 which has been taken from the audited financial
statements at that date. The financial statements reflect adjustments,
all of which were of a normal recurring nature, which are in the opinion
of the managing general partner necessary for a fair presentation.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The
Partnership believes adequate disclosure is provided by the information
presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and the notes included in the latest
Form 10-K.
(2) Organization and Terms of Partnership Agreement -
Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets Partnership 1989-A, Ltd.,
a Texas limited partnership ("the Partnership"), was formed on March 1,
1989, for the purpose of purchasing net profits interest, overriding
royalty interests and royalty interests (collectively, "nonoperating
interests") in producing oil and gas properties within the continental
United States. Swift Energy Company ("Swift"), a Texas corporation, and
VJM Corporation ("VJM"), a California corporation, serve as Managing
General Partner and Special General Partner of the Partnership,
respectively. The general partners are required to contribute up to
1/99th of limited partner net contributions. The 239 limited partners
made total capital contributions of $2,160,097.
Nonoperating interests acquisition costs and the management
fee are borne 99 percent by the limited partners and one percent by the
general partners. Organization and syndication costs were borne solely
by the limited partners.
Generally, all continuing costs (including development costs,
operating costs, general and administrative reimbursements and direct
expenses) and revenues are allocated 90 percent to the limited partners
and ten percent to the general partners. If prior to partnership payout,
as defined, however, the cash distribution rate for a certain period
equals or exceeds 17.5 percent, then for the following calendar year,
these continuing costs and revenues will be allocated 85 percent to the
limited partners and 15 percent to the general partners. After
partnership payout, continuing costs and revenues will be shared 85
percent by the limited partners, and 15 percent by the general partners,
even if the cash distribution rate is less than 17.5 percent. Payout
occurred January 1998; therefore, for 1998 and each year remaining in
the life of the partnership, the continuing costs and revenues will be
shared 85 percent by the limited partners and 15 percent by the general
partners.
(3) Significant Accounting Policies -
Use of Estimates --
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from estimates. Certain reclassifications have been
made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
Nonoperating Interests in Oil and Gas Properties --
The Partnership accounts for its ownership interest in oil and
gas properties using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby the
Partnership's share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is
included in the appropriate classification in the financial statements.
For financial reporting purposes the Partnership follows the
"full-cost" method of accounting for nonoperating interests in oil and
gas property costs. Under this method of accounting, all costs incurred
in the acquisition of nonoperating interests in oil and gas properties
are capitalized. The unamortized cost of nonoperating interests in oil
and gas properties is limited to the "ceiling limitation" (calculated
separately for the Partnership, limited partners and general partners).
The "ceiling limitation" is calculated on a quarterly basis and
represents the estimated future net revenues from nonoperating interests
in proved properties using current prices, discounted at ten percent.
Proceeds from the sale or disposition of nonoperating interests in oil
and gas properties are treated as a reduction of the cost of the
nonoperating interests with no gains or losses recognized except in
significant transactions.
The Partnership computes the provision for amortization of oil
and gas properties on the units-of-production method. Under this method,
the provision is calculated by multiplying the total unamortized cost of
oil and gas properties by an overall rate determined by dividing the
physical units of oil and gas produced during the period by the total
estimated proved oil and gas reserves at the beginning of the period.
The calculation of the "ceiling limitation" and the provision
for depreciation, depletion and amortization is based on estimates of
proved reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating
quantities of proved reserves and in projecting the future rates of
production, timing and plan of development. The accuracy of any reserve
estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of
engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of
drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate
may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates
are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are
ultimately recovered.
(4) Related-Party Transactions -
An affiliate of the Special General Partner, as Dealer
Manager, received $54,002 for managing and overseeing the offering of
the limited partnership units. A one-time management fee of $54,002 was
paid to Swift for services performed for the Partnership.
The Partnership entered into a Net Profits and Overriding
Royalty Interests Agreement ("NP/OR Agreement") with Swift Energy Income
Partners 1989-A, Ltd. ("Operating Partnership"), managed by Swift, for
the purpose of acquiring nonoperating interests in producing oil and gas
properties. Under terms of the NP/OR Agreement, the Partnership has been
conveyed a nonoperating interests in the aggregate net profits (i.e.,
oil and gas sales net of related operating costs) of the properties
acquired equal to its proportionate share of the property acquisition
costs.

(5) Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations -
The Partnership's revenues are primarily the result of sales
of its oil and natural gas production. Market prices of oil and natural
gas may fluctuate and adversely affect operating results.
In the normal course of business, the Partnership extends
credit, primarily in the form of monthly oil and gas sales receivables,
to various companies in the oil and gas industry which results in a
concentration of credit risk. This concentration of credit risk may be
affected by changes in economic or other conditions and may accordingly
impact the Partnership's overall credit risk. However, the Managing
General Partner believes that the risk is mitigated by the size,
reputation, and nature of the companies to which the Partnership extends
credit. In addition, the Partnership generally does not require
collateral or other security to support customer receivables.
(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments -
The Partnership's financial instruments consist of cash and
cash equivalents and short-term receivables and payables. The carrying
amounts approximate fair value due to the highly liquid nature of the
short-term instruments.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Partnership is formed for the purpose of investing in nonoperating
interests in producing oil and gas properties located within the continental
United States. In order to accomplish this, the Partnership goes through two
distinct yet overlapping phases with respect to its liquidity and results of
operations. When the Partnership is formed, it commences its "acquisition"
phase, with all funds placed in short-term investments until required for the
acquisition of nonoperating interests. Therefore, the interest earned on these
pre-acquisition investments becomes the primary cash flow source for initial
partner distributions. As the Partnership acquires nonoperating interests in
producing properties, net cash from ownership of nonoperating interests becomes
available for distribution, along with the investment income. After all
partnership funds have been expended on nonoperating interests in producing oil
and gas properties, the Partnership enters its "operations" phase. During this
phase, income from nonoperating interests in oil and gas sales generates
substantially all revenues, and distributions to partners reflect those revenues
less all associated partnership expenses. The Partnership may also derive
proceeds from the sale of nonoperating interests in acquired oil and gas
properties, when the sale of such interests is economically appropriate or
preferable to continued operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Oil and gas reserves are depleting assets and therefore often
experience significant production declines each year from the date of
acquisition through the end of the life of the property. The primary source of
liquidity to the Partnership comes almost entirely from the income generated
from the sale of oil and gas produced from ownership interests in oil and gas
properties. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $80,735 and
$92,993 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This
source of liquidity and the related results of operations, and in turn cash
distributions, will decline in future periods as the oil and gas produced from
the properties also declines while production and general and administrative
costs remain relatively stable making it unlikely that the Partnership will hold
the properties until they are fully depleted, but will likely liquidate when a
substantial majority of the reserves have been produced. The Partnership has
expended all of the partner's net commitments available for property
acquisitions and development by acquiring producing oil and gas properties. The
partnership invests primarily in proved producing properties with nominal levels
of future costs of development for proven but undeveloped reserves. Significant
purchases of additional reserves or extensive drilling activity are not
anticipated. Cash distributions totaled $89,001 and $73,240 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Under the NP/OR Agreement, the Managing General Partner acquires
interests in oil and gas properties from outside parties and sells these
interests to an affiliated operating partnership, who in turn creates and sells
to the Partnership nonoperating interests in these same oil and gas properties.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income from nonoperating interests decreased 54 percent in the first
quarter of 1998 when compared to the same quarter in 1997. Oil and gas sales
declined $58,577 or 46 percent in the first quarter of 1998 when compared to the
corresponding quarter in 1997, primarily due to decreased gas and oil prices. A
decline in gas prices of 32 percent or $.99/MCF and in oil prices of 40 percent
or $8.66/BBL had a significant impact on partnership performance. Also, current
quarter gas and oil production declined 27 percent and 5 percent, respectively
when compared to first quarter 1997 production volumes, further contributing to
decreased revenues.
Total amortization expense decreased 8 percent or $2,701 in 1998
compared to first quarter 1997, also related to the decline in production
volumes.
During 1998, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
limited partners and general partners in a 85:15 ratio.
