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

Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1996

Oil and gas sales for the  second  quarter  increased  to  $13,481  in 1996 from
$10,796  in 1995.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $2,685  (25%).  Oil sales
increased  by $1,298 or 20%. A 38%  increase  in the average net oil sales price
increased sales by $2,135.  This increase was partially offset by a 13% decrease
in oil  production.  Gas sales increased by $1,387 or 32%. A 25% increase in the
average  net gas sales  price  increased  sales by $1,151.  A 5% increase in gas
production increased sales by an additional $236. The decrease in oil production
was primarily due to natural production declines. The increase in gas production
was primarily due to increased production from the Speary acquisition on which a
compressor was successfully  reworked. The increases in average net sales prices
correspond with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas.

Depletion  expense  increased  to  $12,209  in the  second  quarter of 1996 from
$10,940 in the second  quarter of 1995.  This  represents  an increase of $1,269
(12%).  A 14% increase in the  depletion  rate  increased  depletion  expense by
$1,478.  This increase was partially offset by the changes in production,  noted
above.  The increase in the  depletion  rate was due to higher  production  from
properties  with a relatively  higher  depletion rate,  partially  offset by the
lower property  basis  resulting  from the  recognition  of a $240,044  property
impairment in the first quarter of 1996.

General and  administrative  expenses increased to $2,743 in 1996 from $2,468 in
1995.  This  increase  of $275 (11%) is  primarily  due to more staff time being
required to manage the Company's operations.

First Six Months in 1995 Compared to First Six Months in 1996

Oil and gas sales for the first six  months  increased  to  $25,385 in 1996 from
$20,629  in 1995.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $4,756  (23%).  Oil sales
increased  by $2,238 or 18%. A 36%  increase  in the average net oil sales price
increased sales by $3,972.  This increase was partially offset by a 14% decrease
in oil  production.  Gas sales increased by $2,518 or 31%. A 45% increase in the
average  net gas sales  price  increased  sales by  $3,286.  This  increase  was
partially  offset by a 10% decrease in gas production.  The decreases in oil and
gas production  were  primarily due to natural  production  declines,  partially
offset  by  higher  gas  production  from  the  Speary  acquisition  on  which a
compressor was successfully  reworked. The increases in average net sales prices
correspond with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas.

Depletion  expense  decreased  to  $13,452  in the first six months of 1996 from
$21,537 in the first six months of 1995.  This  represents  a decrease of $8,085
(38%).  The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced  depletion  expense by
$2,432.  A 30% decrease in the depletion  rate reduced  depletion  expense by an
additional  $5,653.  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 to $6,282 in 1996 from $4,864 in
1995.  This  increase of $1,418 (29%) is primarily  due to more 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  general  partner's  intention  to
distribute  substantially  all of  the  Company's  available  cash  flow  to the
Company's partners.

The Company  discontinued the payment of distributions  during 1995. 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.
