                         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, 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.

                          SWIFT ENERGY MANAGED PENSION
                        ASSETS PARTNERSHIP 1988-2, LTD.
                   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 June 30, 1996 (current quarter) when compared
to the quarter ended June 30, 1995 (corresponding quarter), and for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 (current period), when compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1995 (corresponding period).

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

     Income from nonoperating interests increased 3 percent in the current
quarter of 1996 when compared to the second quarter in 1995.  However, oil and
gas sales declined $8,797 or 13 percent in the second quarter of 1996 when
compared to the corresponding quarter in 1995, primarily due to decreased gas
and oil production.  A decline of 35 percent in gas production and 30 percent
in oil production had a significant impact on partnership performance.  Current
quarter gas and oil prices increased 42 percent or $.74/MCF and 16 percent or
$2.39/BBL, respectively, partially offsetting the revenue declines.

     Associated amortization expense decreased 30 percent or $7,546.

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


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

     Income from nonoperating interests increased 46 percent in the current
period of 1996 when compared to the corresponding period in 1995.  Oil and gas
sales increased $6,788 or 5 percent in the first six months of 1996 over the
corresponding period in 1995.  An increase in gas prices of 61 percent or
$.99/MCF and in oil prices of 14 percent or $2.13/BBL were major contributing
factors to the increased revenues for the period.  Also, current period gas and
oil production decreased 31 percent and 24 percent, respectively, when compared
to the corresponding period in 1995, partially offsetting the effect of
increased gas and oil prices.

     Associated amortization expense decreased 22 percent or $9,902.

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