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.  In the
     first  quarter  of 1996,  the  Company  recognized  a  non-cash  impairment
     provision  of $240,044  for certain  oil and gas  properties  due to market
     conditions  and reserve  revisions  on the Lake Decade  acquisition,  which
     indicated that the carrying amounts were not fully recoverable.

Item 2Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.


First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1995

Oil and gas sales for the first quarter increased from $9,833 in 1995 to $11,904
in 1996. This represents a decrease of $2,071 (21%). Oil sales increased by $940
or 15%. A 34% increase in average net oil prices increased sales by $1,830. This
increase was  partially  offset by a 14% decrease in oil  production.  Gas sales
increased by $1,131 or 31%. A 74%  increase in average gas net prices  increased
sales by $2,022.  This  increase was  partially  offset by a 25% decrease in gas
production.  The  decrease  in oil  production  was  primarily  due  to  natural
production  declines.  The decrease in gas production was primarily due to a the
lack of  production  from a well in the  Lake  Decade  acquisition  which  began
producing  water. The increase in average net prices were primarily due to lower
operating costs charged  against the Company's net profits  royalty  properties,
especially at the Bagley  acquisition,  which had workovers in the first quarter
of 1995,  coupled with higher  prices in the overall  market for the sale of oil
and gas.

Depletion  expense decreased from $10,597 in the first quarter of 1995 to $1,243
in the first quarter of 1996.  This  represents a decrease of $9,354 (88%).  The
changes in production,  noted above, reduced depletion expense by $2,142. An 83%
decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced  depletion  expense by an  additional
7,212. The decrease in the depletion rate was primarily due to an impairment of
property of $57,769 The decrease in the depletion  rate was primarily due to the
lower property  basis  resulting  from the  recognition  of a $240,044  property
impairment in the first quarter of 1996.

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.  In the first  quarter of
1996,  the Company  recognized a non-cash  impairment  provision of $240,044 for
certain oil and gas properties due to market conditions and reserve revisions on
the Lake Decade acquisition,  which indicated that the carrying amounts were not
fully recoverable.

General and  administrative  expenses increased from $2,396 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $3,539 in the first quarter of 1996. This increase of $1,143 (48%) is
primarily due to a $1,707 increase in direct expenses incurred by the Company in
1996, partially offset by less staff time being required to manage the Company's
operations.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's cash flow from  operations is a direct result of the amount of net
proceeds  realized  from the sale of oil and gas  production.  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

                                    I-5

<PAGE>



general  partner's  intention to distribute  substantially  all of the Company's
available cash flow to the Company's partners.

The Company will continue to recover its reserves and  distribute to the limited
partners the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production after
payment of its debt obligations.  Distribution  amounts are subject to change if
net revenues  are greater or less than  expected.  Based upon current  projected
cash flows from the  properties,  it does not appear that the Company  will have
sufficient cash to pay its operating  expenses,  repay its debt  obligations and
pay distributions.
