                          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,  1998  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  Income  Partners  1989-B,  Ltd., a Texas limited
        partnership  ("the  Partnership"),  was formed on June 30, 1989, for the
        purpose of  purchasing  and operating  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 661 limited partners made total capital contributions
        of $8,329,500.

                  Property 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.  During
        1992 and 1991, the cash distribution rate (as defined in the Partnership
        Agreement)  exceeded  17.5  percent  and  thus,  in 1993 and  1992,  the
        continuing  costs and  revenues  were  being  shared 85  percent  by the
        limited  partners and 15 percent by the general  partners.  During 1997,
        1996,  1995, 1994 and 1993, the cash  distribution  rate fell below 17.5
        percent and thus, in 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the continuing costs and
        revenues  were shared 90 percent by the limited  partners and 10 percent
        by the general partners. Payout occurred in 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.

                    SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1989-B, LTD.
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                   (UNAUDITED)

     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 oil and gas property costs.  Under
        this  method of  accounting,  all  productive  and  nonproductive  costs
        incurred in the  acquisition and development of oil and gas reserves are
        capitalized.  Such costs  include  lease  acquisitions,  geological  and
        geophysical  services,  drilling,  completion,   equipment  and  certain
        general and  administrative  costs directly  associated with acquisition
        and development activities.  General and administrative costs related to
        production and general overhead are expensed as incurred. No general and
        administrative  costs were  capitalized  during the three  months  ended
        March 31, 1999 and 1998.

                  Future  development,   site  restoration,   dismantlement  and
        abandonment   costs,   net  of  salvage  values,   are  estimated  on  a
        property-by-property  basis based on current economic conditions and are
        amortized  to  expense  as the  Partnership's  capitalized  oil  and gas
        property costs are amortized.

                  The  unamortized  cost of 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 proved properties using current prices,  discounted at ten
        percent,  and the lower of cost or fair  value of  unproved  properties.
        Proceeds  from the sale or  disposition  of oil and gas  properties  are
        treated as a reduction  of oil and gas  property  costs with no gains or
        losses being recognized except in significant transactions.

                  The  Partnership  computes  the  provision  for  depreciation,
        depletion   and   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,    including   future    development,    site   restoration,
        dismantlement  and abandonment  costs, by an overall  amortization  rate
        that  is  determined  by  dividing  the  physical  units  of oil and gas
        produced  during the period by the total  estimated  units of 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  $202,238 for managing and overseeing the offering of
        the limited partnership units. A one-time management fee of $208,238 was
        paid to Swift for services performed for the Partnership.

                  Effective  June 30, 1989, the  Partnership  entered into a Net
        Profits and Overriding  Royalty Interest  Agreement ("NP/OR  Agreement")
        with Swift  Energy  Managed  Pension  Assets  Partnership  1989-B,  Ltd.
        ("Pension  Partnership"),  managed by Swift for the purpose of acquiring
        working  interests in producing oil and gas  properties.  Under terms of
        the  NP/OR  Agreement,  the  Partnership  has  conveyed  to the  Pension
        Partnership a nonoperating  interest 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.

                                   (UNAUDITED)


(5)  Gas Imbalances -


                  The Partnership  recognizes its ownership  interest in natural
        gas  production as revenue.  Actual  production  quantities  sold may be
        different than the  Partnership's  ownership share in a given period. If
        the  Partnership's  sales exceed its ownership share of production,  the
        differences are recorded as deferred revenue. Gas balancing  receivables
        are  recorded  when the  Partnership's  ownership  share  of  production
        exceeds sales.

(6)  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.

(7)  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.

(8)  Year 2000 -

                  The  Year  2000  issue  results  from  computer  programs  and
        embedded computer chips with date fields that cannot distinguish between
        the years 1900 and 2000.  The  Managing  General  Partner  is  currently
        implementing  the steps necessary to make its operations and the related
        operations of the Partnership capable of addressing the Year 2000. These
        steps include upgrading, testing and certifying its computer systems and
        field   operation   services   and   obtaining   Year  2000   compliance
        certification  from  all  important  business  suppliers.  The  Managing
        General Partner formed a task force during 1998 to address the Year 2000
        issue and prepare its business  systems for the Year 2000.  By mid-1999,
        the Managing  General Partner expects the mission critical systems to be
        either replaced or updated and testing to be virtually completed.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                   (UNAUDITED)


                  The Managing  General  Partner's  business  systems are almost
        entirely  comprised of  off-the-shelf  software.  Most of the  necessary
        changes in computer  instructional  code can be made by  upgrading  this
        software.  The Managing  General  Partner is currently in the process of
        either upgrading the off-the-shelf  software or receiving  certification
        as to Year 2000  compliance from vendors or third party  consultants.  A
        testing phase is being conducted as the software is updated or certified
        and is expected to be completed by mid-1999.

                  The  Managing  General  Partner  does not  believe  that costs
        incurred  to address  the Year 2000 issue with  respect to its  business
        systems  will have a  material  effect on the  Partnership's  results of
        operations,  or its  liquidity and  financial  condition.  The estimated
        total cost to the Managing  General  Partner to address Year 2000 issues
        is  projected  to be less  than  $150,000,  most of which  will be spent
        during  the  testing  phase.  The  Partnership's  share of this  cost is
        expected to be insignificant.

                  The  failure  to correct a material  Year 2000  problem  could
        result  in an  interruption,  or  failure  of  certain  normal  business
        activities or  operations.  Based on  activities  to date,  the Managing
        General  Partner  believes that it will be able to resolve any Year 2000
        problems  concerning  its financial and  administrative  systems.  It is
        undeterminable  how all the  aspects  of the Year 2000 will  impact  the
        Partnership.  The most  reasonably  likely  worst  case  scenario  would
        involve a prolonged disruption of external power sources upon which core
        equipment   relies,   resulting  in  a   substantial   decrease  in  the
        Partnership's  oil and  gas  production  activities.  In  addition,  the
        pipeline  operators  to whom the  Managing  General  Partner  sells  the
        Partnership's  natural gas, as well as other  customers  and  suppliers,
        could be prone to Year  2000  problems  that  could not be  assessed  or
        detected by the Managing General  Partner.  The Managing General Partner
        is contacting  its major  purchasers,  customers,  suppliers,  financial
        institutions  and others  with whom it conducts  business  to  determine
        whether  they will be able to resolve  in a timely  manner any Year 2000
        problems directly  affecting the Managing General Partner or Partnership
        and to inform them of the Managing General Partner's internal assessment
        of its Year 2000  review.  There  can be no  assurance  that such  third
        parties will not fail to appropriately address their Year 2000 issues or
        will not  themselves  suffer a Year 2000  disruption  that  could have a
        material  adverse  effect  on the  Partnership's  activities,  financial
        condition  or  operating  results.  Based upon these  responses  and any
        problems  that arise  during the  testing  phase,  contingency  plans or
        back-up systems would be determined and addressed.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


General

      The  Partnership  was formed for the purpose of investing 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  result  of  operations.  When the
Partnership  is formed,  it commences its  "acquisition"  phase,  with all funds
placed in short-term  investments until required for such property acquisitions.
The interest  earned on these  pre-acquisition  investments  becomes the primary
cash flow source for initial partner distributions.  As the Partnership acquires
producing   properties,   net  cash  from  operations   becomes   available  for
distribution,  along with the investment  income.  After  partnership funds have
been expended on producing oil and gas properties,  the  Partnership  enters its
"operations" phase. During this phase, oil and gas sales generate  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 acquired oil and gas properties, when the sale of such properties is
economically appropriate or preferable to continued operation.

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 (used in) operating  activities  totaled $(139,415) and $187,057 for
the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  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 these 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.  Cash  provided by
property  sales proceeds  totaled  $214,635 for the three months ended March 31,
1999.  The  Partnership  has  expended  all of  the  partners'  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 $71,136 and
$299,932 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      The  Partnership  does  not  allow  for  additional  assessments  from the
partners to fund capital requirements.  The Managing General Partner anticipates
that the  Partnership  will have adequate  liquidity from income from continuing
operations  to  satisfy  any  future  capital  expenditure  requirements.  Funds
generated  from  bank  borrowings  and  proceeds  from  the  sale of oil and gas
properties will be used to supplement this effort if deemed necessary.

Results of Operations

      Oil and gas sales  increased  $4,210 or 2 percent in the first  quarter of
1999 when compared to the  corresponding  quarter in 1998,  primarily due to the
release of suspended gas revenue from a non-operated  well in Arkansas.  Current
quarter gas  production  increased  43 percent as a result of the  released  gas
revenue, while oil production declined 33 percent when compared to first quarter
1998  production  volumes.  The sale of the Caprito field in Texas,  in February
1999,  had an impact  on oil  production  for the  quarter.  Gas and oil  prices
remained  flat at an average  $1.94/MCF for gas and  $12.04/BBL  for oil for the
quarter.

      Corresponding  production costs per equivalent MCF decreased 28 percent in
the  first  quarter  of 1999  compared  to the  first  quarter  of 1998 as total
production  costs  decreased 24 percent,  relating to the property  sales in the
current quarter.

      Associated  depreciation  expense  decreased  6 percent  or $6,207 in 1999
compared to first quarter 1998.

      Partnership   payout  occurred  as  of  January  1,  1998.   During  1999,
partnership  revenues and costs will be shared between the limited  partners and
general partners in an 85:15 ratio.
