PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
General
Enex Oil & Gas Income Program IV - Series 3, L.P. (the "Company")
was formed under the New Jersey Uniform Limited Partnership Act (1976) on March
15, 1988 and commenced operations on May 10, 1989 with aggregate subscriptions
of $3,039,901, $3,009,502 of which was received from 2,238 limited partners,
including investors whose distributions from earlier partnerships sponsored by
the Company's general partner, Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex"), were
automatically invested in the Company.
The Company is engaged in the oil and gas business through the
ownership of various interests in producing oil and gas properties. If
warranted, the Company may further develop its oil and gas properties. However,
the Company does not intend to engage in significant drilling activities. Such
activities may be conducted, however, as an incidental part of the management of
producing properties or with a view toward enhancing the value of producing
properties. In no event will the Company engage in exploratory drilling, or use
any of the limited partners' net subscriptions to fund drilling activities. Any
developmental drilling will be financed primarily through third party borrowing
or with funds provided from operations. The expenses of drilling, completing and
equipping and operating development wells are allocated 90% to the limited
partners and 10% to the general partner. See Note 1 to the Financial Statements
for information relating to the allocation of costs and revenues between the
limited partners and the general partner. The Company's operations are
concentrated in a single industry segment.
The principal executive office of the Company is maintained at 800
Rockmead Drive, Suite 200, Three Kingwood Place, Kingwood, Texas 77339. The
telephone number at this office is (713) 358-8401.
The Company has no regional offices.
The Company has no employees. On March 1, 1997, Enex (and its subsidiaries)
employed 23 persons.
Marketing
The marketing of oil and gas produced by the Company is affected by
a number of factors which are beyond the Company's control, the exact nature of
which cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include the quantity and
price of crude oil imports, fluctuating supply and demand, pipeline and other
transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels, state and federal
regulation of oil and gas production and distribution and other matters
affecting the availability of a ready market. All of these factors are extremely
volatile.
Terra Pipeline Company and Southwestern Energy Production Company accounted
for 67% and 24%, respectively, of the Company's total sales in 1996. Terra
Pipeline Company, Norcen Explorer, Inc. and GPM Marketing Corp accounted for
59%, 16% and 15%, respectively, of the Company's total sales in 1995. No other
purchaser individually accounted for more than 10% of such sales. Although the
Company
I-1
<PAGE>
marketed a significant portion of its sales to the above noted companies, such a
concentration does not pose a significant risk due to the commodity nature of
the Company's products.
Environmental and Conservation Regulation
State regulatory authorities in the states in which the Company
owns producing properties are empowered to make and enforce regulations to
prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights and opportunities
to produce oil and gas for owners of a common reservoir. Each of such regulatory
authorities also regulates the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning
allowable rates of production, which may be increased or decreased in accordance
with supply and demand. Requirements regarding the prevention and clean-up of
pollution and similar environmental matters are also generally applicable. The
costs, if any, the Company may incur in this regard cannot be predicted.
The existence of such regulations has had no material adverse
effects on the Company's operations to date, and the cost of compliance has not
yet been material. There are no material administrative or judicial proceedings
arising under such laws or regulations pending against the Company. The Company
is unable to assess or predict the impact that compliance with environmental and
pollution control laws and regulations may have on its future operation, capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Tax Laws
The operations of the Company are affected by the federal income
tax laws contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). Under the Code, generally, the Company will report income from the sale
of oil and gas, against which it may deduct its ordinary business expenses,
depletion, depreciation and intangible drilling and development costs.
It is anticipated that most of the Company's income, if any, will
be from a "passive activity" for purposes of the Code. A passive activity
includes an activity in which the taxpayer does not materially participate,
including the ownership of a limited partnership interest, such as an interest
in the Company. "Passive income," however, does not include portfolio income
(i.e. dividends, interest, royalties, etc.). Although taxpayers generally may
not deduct losses or use tax credits derived from passive activities in an
amount greater than their income derived from such activities, if and to the
extent that the Company generates passive income, it will be available to offset
the limited partners' passive losses from other sources.
Partnerships with interests that are "publicly traded" are taxed as
corporations unless at least 90% of their income is "qualifying income." Because
the Company's income will be qualifying income for this purpose, the Company
will not be taxed as a corporation under this rule. Passive income or losses
from publicly traded partnerships that are not taxed as corporations generally
cannot be used to offset passive income or losses from other sources, Enex
believes that the Company is not publicly traded. Consequently, limited partners
should continue to be able to utilize their income and losses from the Company
to offset losses and income from their other passive activities.
In order to prevent the adverse tax consequences that would affect
the limited partners if the Company's limited partnership interests were to
become publicly traded in the future, the general partner
I-2
<PAGE>
may, after final regulations have been issued by the Internal Revenue Service,
submit to a vote of limited partners a proposal to amend the Company's agreement
of limited partnership to provide, among other things, (a) that Enex shall have
the right to refuse to recognize any transfer of limited partnership interests
if it believes that such transfer occurred on a secondary market or the
substantial equivalent thereof; and (b) that all assignors and assignees of the
limited partnership interests shall be required to represent to Enex that any
transfer of limited partnership interests did not, to the best of their
knowledge, occur on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof.
Item 2. Description of Property
Presented below is a summary of the Company's property
acquisitions.
BAGLEY acquisition. Working interests in 7 oil wells located in
Bagley Field, Otsego County, Michigan were acquired effective May and June 1989
for $689,556. The Bagley acquisition is operated by Terra Energy, Ltd. The
Company owns working interests ranging from 4.32% to 4.35% in the wells in the
Bagley acquisition at December 31, 1996.
BRIGHTON acquisition. Working interests in 2 oil wells located in
Brighton Field, Livingston County, Michigan were purchased for $340,200 from
Pasadena Oil & Gas Corp., effective from date of first production (November 1988
and July 1989). The Brighton acquisition is operated by Global Natural
Resources. The Company owns working interests ranging from 6.30% to 7.46% in the
Brighton acquisition at December 31, 1996.
LAKE DECADE acquisition. Effective July 1, 1989, working interests
in 2 gas wells in Lake Decade Field, Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana were purchased
for $1,653,056 from Sierra Production Company. The Lake Decade acquisition is
operated by Southwestern Energy Production. The Company owns working interests
ranging from .21% to .30% in the wells in the Lake Decade acquisition at
December 31, 1996.
Purchase price as used above is defined as the actual contract
price plus finders' fees, if applicable. Miscellaneous acquisition expenses,
subsequent capital items, etc. are not included.
Oil and Gas Reserves
For quantitative information regarding the Company's oil and gas
reserves, please see Supplementary Oil and Gas Information and related tables
which follow the Notes to Financial Statements in Item 7 of this report. The
Company has not filed any current oil and gas reserve estimates or included any
such estimates in reports to any federal or foreign governmental authority or
agency, including the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Proved oil and gas reserves reported herein are based on
engineering reports prepared by the petroleum engineering consulting firm of H.
J. Gruy and Associates, Inc. The reserves included in this report are estimates
only and should not be construed as exact quantities. Future conditions may
affect recovery of estimated reserves and revenue, and all reserves may be
subject to revision as more performance data become available. The proved
reserves used in this report conform to the applicable definitions
I-3
<PAGE>
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. No major discovery or
other favorable or adverse event that could potentially cause a significant
change in the estimated proved reserves has occurred since December 31, 1996.
Net Oil and Gas Production
The following table shows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, the approximate production attributable to the Company's oil and gas
interests. The figures in the table represent "net production"; i.e., production
owned by the Company and produced to its interest after deducting royalty and
other similar interests. All production occurred in the United States.
1996 1995
---- ----
Crude oil and condensate (Bbls)................. 2,757 3,481
Natural gas (Mcf)............................... 10,974 10,490
The following table sets forth the Company's average sales
price per barrel of oil, per Mcf of gas, and average production cost per unit
produced for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. The average prices and
production cost per equivalent barrel are higher than average market prices and
costs due to the payment of net profit royalties. The payment of such royalties
has no impact on the Company's net revenues or cash flows.
1996 1995
---- ----
Average sales price per barrel of oil............. $ 29.62 $ 24.12
Average sales price per Mcf of gas................ 6.97 3.24
Average production cost per equivalent
barrel of production............................ 18.14 14.45
Drilling Activities
The Company did not participate in any significant drilling
activity in 1996 or 1995.
Current Activities
The Company completed its acquisition phase in 1989. Additional
interests in oil and gas properties may be acquired; however, the primary focus
of present activities is on the efficient management of properties currently
owned.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the
Company is a party.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

Dividends
The Company made cash distributions to partners of $4 per $500
investment in 1995. The Company suspended the payment of distributions in the
third quarter of 1995. The payment of future distributions will depend on the
Company's earnings, financial condition, working capital requirements and other
factors. Based upon current projected cash flows from its property, it does not
appear that the Company will have sufficient net cash flow after debt service to
pay distributions in the future.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in this Form 10-KSB.
Oil and gas sales increased to $158,257 in 1996 from $117,994 in
1995. This represents an increase of $40,263 or 34%. Oil revenues decreased by
$2,296 or 3%. A 21% decline in oil production caused sales to decrease by
$17,463. This decrease was partially offset by a 23% increase in the average oil
sales price. Gas sales increased by $42,559 or 125%. A 5% increase in gas
production increased sales by $1,568. A 115% increase in the average gas sales
price increased sales by an additional $40,991. The increase in the average oil
and gas sales prices were primarily due to higher prices in the overall market
for the sale of oil and gas coupled with higher lease operating expenses
incurred, in 1996, on the Lake Decade acquisition, on which the Company pays a
net profits royalty. The decrease in oil production was primarily due to natural
production declines which were especially pronounced on the Brighton
acquisition. The increase in gas production was primarily due to a successful
work over on the Lake Decade acquisition in the third quarter of 1996, partially
offset by natural production declines.
Lease operating expenses increased to $68,379 in 1996 from $62,761
in 1995. The increase of $5,618 or 9% was primarily due to repairs made on the
Lake Decade acquisitions in 1996.
Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $26,137 in 1996 from
$38,691 in 1995. This represents a decrease of $12,554 or 32%. The changes in
production, noted above, caused depreciation and depletion expense to decrease
by $4,752. A 23% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depreciation and
depletion expense by an additional $7,802. The rate decrease was primarily due
to the lower property basis resulting from the recognition of an impairment of
property of $538,207 in the first quarter of 1996, partially offset by a
downward revision of the oil and gas reserves during 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. Prior to this
pronouncement, the Company assessed properties on an aggregate basis. Upon
adoption of SFAS 121, the Company began assessing properties on an individual
basis, wherein total capitalized costs may not exceed the property's fair market
value. The fair market value of each property was determined by H. J. Gruy and
Associates, ("Gruy"). To determine the fair market value, Gruy estimated each
property's oil and gas reserves, applied certain assumptions regarding price and
cost escalations, applied a 10% discount factor for time and certain discount
factors for risk, location, type of ownership interest, category of reserves,
operational characteristics, and other factors. 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 indications that the carrying amounts were
not fully recoverable.
General and administrative expenses increased to $25,158 in 1996
from $19,747 in 1995. This increase of $5,411 or 27% is primarily due to a
$5,919 increase in direct costs incurred by the Company in 1996, as a result of
higher audit and tax return preparation fees.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Company's cash flows 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 flows from 1995 to 1996 are
II-2
<PAGE>
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 flows to the Company's partners. The Company's "available cash
flow" is essentially equal to the net amount of cash provided by operating
activities.
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 1997. The Company does not intend to
purchase additional properties or fund extensive development of existing oil and
gas properties, and as such; has no long-term liquidity needs. The Company's
projected cash flows from operations will provide sufficient funding to pay its
operating expenses and debt obligations. The general partner does not intend to
accelerate the repayment of the debt beyond the cash flow provided by operating,
financing and investing activities. The Company plans to repay the amount owed
to the general partner over a three year period. Based upon current projected
cash flows from its property, it does not appear that the Company will have
sufficient net cash flow after debt service to pay distributions in the future.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for
capital expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant
developmental drilling activity.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION
Enex Oil & Gas Income Program IV - Series 3, L.P. (the "Company"),
a New Jersey limited partnership, commenced operations on May 10,
1989, for the purpose of acquiring proved oil and gas properties.
Total limited partner contributions were $3,039,901, of which
$30,399 was contributed by Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex"), the
general partner.
In accordance with the partnership agreement, the Company paid
commissions and due diligence expenses of $283,185 for solicited
subscriptions to Enex Securities Corporation, a subsidiary of Enex,
and reimbursed Enex for organization expenses of approximately
$91,000.
Information relating to the allocation of costs and revenues
between Enex, as general partner, and the limited partners is as
follows:
Limited
Enex Partners
Commissions and selling expenses 100%
Company reimbursement of organization
expense 100%
Company property acquisition 100%
General and administrative costs 10% 90%
Costs of drilling and completing
development wells 10% 90%
Revenues from temporary investment of
partnership capital 100%
Revenues from producing properties 10% 90%
Operating costs (including general and
administrative costs associated with
operating producing properties) 10% 90%
At the point in time when the cash distributions to the limited
partners equal their subscriptions ("payout"), the costs of
drilling and completing development wells, revenues from producing
properties, general and administrative costs and operating costs
will be allocated 15% to the general partner and 85% to the limited
partners.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oil and Gas Properties - The Company uses the successful efforts
method of accounting for its oil and gas operations. Under this
method, the costs of all development wells are capitalized.
Capitalized costs are amortized on the units-of-production method
based on estimated total proved reserves. The acquisition costs of
improved properties are capitalized and periodically assessed for
impairment.
II-9
<PAGE>
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. Prior to this pronouncement, the
Company assessed properties on an aggregate basis. Upon adoption of
SFAS 121, the Company began assessing properties on an individual
basis, wherein total capitalized costs may not exceed the
property's fair market value. The fair market value of each
property was determined by H. J. Gruy and Associates, ("Gruy"). To
determine the fair market value, Gruy estimated each property's oil
and gas reserves, applied certain assumptions regarding price and
cost escalations, applied a 10% discount factor for time and
certain discount factors for risk, location, type of ownership
interest, category of reserves, operational characteristics, and
other factors. 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 indications that the carrying amounts were
not fully recoverable.
The Company's operating interests in oil and gas properties are
recorded using the pro rata consolidation method pursuant to
Interpretation 2 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18.
Cash Flows - The Company has presented its cash flows using the
indirect method and considers all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
General and Administrative Expenses - The Company reimburses the
General Partner for direct costs and administrative costs incurred
on its behalf. Administrative costs allocated to the Company are
computed on a cost basis in accordance with standard industry
practices by allocating the time spent by the General Partner's
personnel among all projects and by allocating rent and other
overhead on the basis of the relative direct time charges.
Uses of Estimates - The preparation of the 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 and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
General - The Company is not a taxable entity for federal income
tax purposes. Such taxes are liabilities of the individual partners
and the amounts thereof will vary depending on the individual
situation of each partner. Accordingly, there is no provision for
income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

On January 4, 1996, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia against Mr. Carl alleging that Mr.
Carl violated Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange
Act"), and Rule 16a-2 and 16a-3 (and former Rule 16a-1) thereunder, by failing
to timely file reports concerning thirty-eight securities transactions in his
mother's brokerage accounts involving shares of Health Images, Inc. stock. The
SEC took the position that because Mr. Carl (1) provided substantial
III-2
<PAGE>
financial support to his mother, (2) commingled his mother's assets with his
own, (3) provided a substantial portion of the funds used to purchase the shares
in question, and (4) received from his mother a substantial portion of the sales
proceeds, he, therefore, had a pecuniary interest in, and was a beneficial owner
of, the shares in question.
In response to the SEC's action, Mr. Carl disgorged to Health
Images, Inc. approximately $92,400 in short-swing profits from the trading in
his mother's account, plus interest thereon of approximately $52,600. The SEC
further requested the court to impose a $10,000 civil penalty against Mr. Carl
pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Without admitting or denying
the allegations in the complaint, Mr. Carl consented to the entry of a final
judgement imposing the $10,000 penalty. On January 12, 1996, a federal judge
entered the final judgement in this matter, and Mr. Carl has since filed amended
reports on Forms 4 and 5 reflecting these transactions in his mother's accounts.
In relation to the same matter, the SEC has issued an
administrative Order pursuant to Section 21C of the Exchange Act against Mr.
Carl, finding that he violated Section 16(a) and the rules thereunder and
requiring him to cease and desist from committing or causing any violation or
future violation of those provisions. Without admitting or denying allegations
in the SEC's Order, Mr. Carl consented to the entry of the Order.
