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 $538,207 for
     certain oil and gas  properties  due to market  conditions and reserve
     revisions  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  decreased  from  $43,235  in 1995 to
$38,629 in 1996. This represents a decrease of $4,606 (11%). Oil sales decreased
by $6,586 or 25%. A 24% decrease in oil production reduced sales by $6,301. A 1%
decrease in average oil sales prices  reduced sales by an additional  $285.  Gas
sales  increased  by $1,980 or 12%. A 66%  increase in average gas sales  prices
increased sales by $7,578.  This increase was partially offset by a 33% decrease
in gas  production.  The decrease in oil  production was primarily the result of
natural production  declines,  which were especially  pronounced on the Brighton
acquisition.  The slight  decrease in average oil sales prices was primarily due
to  relatively  higher  production  from the  Bagley  acquisition,  which  has a
relatively  lower  oil sales  price,  partially  offset by higher  prices in the
overall market for the sale of oil. The decrease in gas production was primarily
due to natural production declines which were especially  pronounced on the Lake
Decade  acquisition.  The increase in average gas sales prices was primarily due
to  relatively  higher  production  from the  Bagley  acquisition,  which  has a
relatively  higher gas sales price,  coupled  with higher  prices in the overall
market for the sale of gas.

Lease operating  expenses decreased from $22,226 in the first quarter of 1995 to
$14,219 in the first  quarter  of 1996.  The  decrease  of  $8,007,  or 36%,  is
primarily  due to the  lower  production  from  the  Brighton  and  Lake  Decade
acquisitions, as noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased from $13,379 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $2,845 in the first  quarter of 1996.  This  represents a decrease of
$10,534 (79%). The changes in production,  noted above,  caused depreciation and
depletion  expense to decrease by $3,654.  A 71% decrease in the depletion  rate
reduced  depreciation and depletion  expense by an additional  $6,880.  The rate
decrease  was  primarily  due to the lower  property  basis  resulting  from the
recognition of a $538,207 impairment of property 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 $538,207 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 $4,630 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $4,826 in the first  quarter of 1996.  This  increase of $196 (4%) is
primarily due to $1,761 higher direct expenses  incurred by the Company in 1996,
partially  offfset 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  after the payment of
its debt  obligations.  Accordingly,  the changes in cash flow from 1995 to 1996
are primarily due to the changes in oil

                                    I-5

<PAGE>



and  gas  sales  described  above.  It is the  general  partner's  intention  to
distribute  substantially all of the Company's  remaining available cash flow to
the Company's partners.

The Company  discontinued  the payment of  distributions in the third quarter of
1995.  Future  distributions  are dependent upon among other things,  the prices
received for oil and gas. The Company will  continue to recover its reserves and
reduce  its  obligations  in  1996.  The  general  partner  does not  intend  to
accelerate  the repayment of the debt beyond the cash flow provided by operating
activities.  Based upon current projected cash flows from its property,  it does
not appear  that the  Company  will have  sufficient  cash to pay its  operating
expenses, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions in the near future.

As of March 31,  1996,  the  Company  had no  material  commitments  for capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
