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 $243,005  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  increased  from  $24,495  in 1995 to
$28,405  in 1996.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $3,910  (16%).  Oil sales
increased by $2,360 or 12%. A 26% increase in average oil sales prices increased
sales by $4,366.  This increase was  partially  offset by an 11% decrease in oil
production.  Gas  sales  increased  by  $1,550  or  28%.  A 7%  increase  in gas
production  increased  sales by $382. A 20% increase in average gas sales prices
increased sales by an additional $1,168. The lower oil production is a primarily
a result of natural  production  declines.  The increase in gas  production  was
primarily  the  result  of  enhanced  production  improvements  on  the  Concord
acquisition.  The  changes  in average  prices  correspond  with  changes in the
overall market for the sale of oil and gas.

Lease operating  expenses  decreased from $8,277 in the first quarter of 1995 to
$5,293 in the first  quarter of 1996.  The decrease of $2,984 (36%) is primarily
due to the changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased from $13,771 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $7,428 in the first  quarter of 1996.  This  represents a decrease of
$6,343 (46%). The changes in production,  noted above,  caused  depreciation and
depletion to decrease by $838, while a 43% decrease in the depletion rate caused
an  additional  reduction of $5,505.  The rate decrease was primarily due to the
lower property basis resulting from the recognition of a $243,005  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 $243,005 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.

eneral and administrative expenses increased from $5,221 in the first quarter of
1995 to $5,980 in the first  quarter  of 1996.  This  increase  of $759 (15%) is
primarily due to $2,350 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.  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 will continue to recover its reserves and distribute to the partners
the net proceeds  realized from the sale of oil and gas production after payment
of debt obligations.  Distributions were suspended in the first quarter of 1996.
Distribution amounts are subject to change if net

                                    I-5

<PAGE>



revenues are greater or less than  expected.  It is  anticipated  that  periodic
distributions will be made by the Company as cash becomes available.

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.
