                                  (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,
     1995 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 1988-2, Ltd., a Texas
     limited partnership (the Partnership), was formed on January 31, 1989, for
     the purpose of purchasing net profits interests, 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 Partners,
     Ltd. ("VJM"), a Texas limited partnership, serve as Managing General
     Partner and Special General Partner of the Partnership, respectively. The
     Managing General Partner is required to contribute up to 1/99th of limited
     partner net contributions. The 180 limited partners made total capital
     contributions of $1,856,200.

          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,
     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.

(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.

     NONOPERATING INTERESTS IN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES --

          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.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                  (UNAUDITED)


          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 -

          Affiliates of the Special General Partner, as Dealer Manager,
     received $41,155 for managing and overseeing the offering of the limited
     partnership units. A one-time management fee of $46,405 was paid to Swift
     for services performed for the Partnership.

          Effective February 10, 1989, the Partnership entered into a Net
     Profits and Overriding Royalty Interests Agreement ("NP/OR Agreement")
     with Swift Energy Income Partners 1988-2, Ltd. and Swift Energy Income
     Partners 1988-3, Ltd. (Operating Partnerships), managed by Swift, for the
     purpose of acquiring nonoperating interests in producing oil and gas
     properties. Under terms of the NP/OR Agreement, the Operating Partnerships
     will convey to the Partnership 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 Company'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.

          The Partnership extends credit 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

     The Partnership has completed acquisition of nonoperating interests in
producing oil and gas properties, expending all of the limited partners' net
commitments available for property acquisitions.

     Under the NP/OR Agreement, the Managing General Partner acquires interests
in oil and gas properties from outside parties and sells these interests to
affiliated operating partnerships, who in turn creates and sells to the
Partnership nonoperating interests in these same oil and gas properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following analysis explains changes in the revenue and expense
categories for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 (current quarter) when
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995 (corresponding quarter), and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 (current period), when compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 (corresponding period).

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

     Income from nonoperating interests increased 126 percent in the current
quarter of 1996 when compared to the third quarter in 1995. Oil and gas sales
increased $17,107 or 57 percent in the current quarter of 1996 when compared to
the corresponding quarter in 1995, primarily due to increased gas and oil
prices. An increase in gas prices of 49 percent or $.92/MCF and in oil prices
of 56 percent or $7.59/BBL had a significant impact on partnership performance.
Also, current quarter gas production increased 88 percent when compared to
third quarter 1995 production volumes, further contributing to increased
revenues.

     Associated amortization expense increased 12 percent or $1,319.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

     Income from nonoperating interests increased 60 percent in the current
period of 1996 when compared to the corresponding period in 1995. Oil and gas
sales increased $23,895 or 16 percent in the first nine months of 1996 over the
corresponding period in 1995. An increase in gas prices of 61 percent or
$1.01/MCF and in oil prices of 24 percent or $3.50/BBL were major contributing
factors to the increased revenues for the period. Also, current period oil and
gas production decreased 28 percent and 17 percent, respectively, when compared
to the corresponding period in 1995, partially offsetting the effect of
increased gas and oil prices.

     Associated amortization expense decreased 15 percent or $8,583.

     During 1996, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
limited partners and general partners in a 90:10 ratio.
