GEODYNE ENERGY INCOME PROGRAM III LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-------------------
The balance sheets as of September 30, 1997, statements of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996 and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by Geodyne
Resources, Inc., the general partner of the Partnerships (the
"General Partner"), without audit. In the opinion of management
the financial statements referred to above include all necessary
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, to
present fairly the financial position at September 30, 1997, the
results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.
Information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnerships' Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed for the year ended December 31, 1996. The results of
operations for the period ended September 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
The Limited Partners' net income or loss per unit is based upon
each $100 initial capital contribution.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
----------------------
The Partnerships follow the successful efforts method of
accounting for their oil and gas properties. Under the
successful efforts method, the Partnerships capitalize all
property acquisition costs and development costs incurred in
connection with the further development of oil and gas reserves.
Property acquisition costs include costs incurred by the
Partnerships or the General Partner to acquire producing
properties, including related title insurance or examination
costs, commissions, engineering, legal and accounting fees, and
similar costs directly related to the acquisitions, plus an
allocated portion, of the General Partner's property screening
costs. The acquisition cost to the Partnerships of properties
acquired by the General Partner is adjusted to reflect the net
cash results of operations, including interest incurred to
finance the acquisition, for the period of time the properties
are held by the General Partner. Leasehold impairment is
recognized based upon an individual property assessment and
exploratory experience. Upon discovery of commercial reserves,
leasehold costs are transferred to producing properties.
Depletion of the costs of producing oil and gas properties,
amortization of related intangible drilling and development
costs, and depreciation of tangible lease and well equipment are
-30-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
computed on the unit-of-production method. The Partnerships'
depletion, depreciation, and amortization includes estimated
dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage
value.
When complete units of depreciable property are retired or sold,
the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are
eliminated with any gain or loss reflected in income. When less
than complete units of depreciable property are retired or sold,
the difference between asset cost and salvage value is charged or
credited to accumulated depreciation.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and Assets
Held for Disposal", requires successful efforts companies, like
the Partnerships, to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying
costs of their proved oil and gas properties at the lowest level
for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely
independent of the cash flows of other groups of oil and gas
properties. With respect to the Partnerships' oil and gas
properties, this evaluation was performed for each field. SFAS
No. 121 provides that if the unamortized costs of oil and gas
properties for each field exceed the expected undiscounted future
cash flows from such properties, the cost of the properties is
written down to fair value, which is determined by using the
discounted future cash flows from the properties. The
Partnerships recorded a non-cash charge against earnings
(impairment provision) during the nine months ended September 30,
1997 pursuant to SFAS No. 121 as follows:
Partnership Amount
----------- ------------
III-A $1,617,006
III-B 738,122
III-C 1,696,418
III-D 932,243
III-E 2,893,741
III-F 2,884,405
III-G 1,449,404
The risk that the Partnerships will be required to record such
impairment provisions in the future increases when oil and gas
prices are depressed.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
---------------------------------
The Partnership Agreements governing the Partnerships provide for

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
- -----------------------------------------------
This Quarterly Report contains certain forward-looking
statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan,"
"intend," "estimate," "project," "could," "may," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Such statements reflect management's current views with respect
to future events and financial performance. This Quarterly
Report also includes certain information, which is, or is based
upon, estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions
are management's efforts to accurately reflect the condition and
operation of the Partnerships.
Use of forward-looking statements and estimates and assumptions
involve risks and uncertainties which include, but are not
limited to, the volatility of oil and gas prices, the uncertainty
of reserve information, the operating risk associated with oil
and gas properties (including the risk of personal injury, death,
property damage, damage to the well or producing reservoir,
environmental contamination, and other operating risks), the
prospect of changing tax and regulatory laws, the availability
and capacity of processing and transportation facilities, the
general economic climate, the supply and price of foreign imports
of oil and gas, the level of consumer product demand, and the
price and availability of alternative fuels. Should one or more
of these risks or uncertainties occur or should estimates or
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual conditions or
results may vary materially and adversely from those stated,
anticipated, believed, estimated, or otherwise indicated.
GENERAL
- -------
The Partnerships are engaged in the business of owning interests
in producing oil and gas properties located in the continental
United States. In general, a Partnership acquired producing
properties and has not engaged in development drilling or
enhanced recovery projects, except as an incidental part of the
management of the producing properties acquired. Therefore, the
economic life of each Partnership is limited to the period of
time required to fully produce its acquired oil and gas reserves.
The net proceeds from the oil and gas operations are distributed
to the Limited Partners and the General Partner in accordance
with the terms of the Partnership Agreements governing the
Partnerships.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Partnerships began operations and investors were assigned
their rights as Limited Partners, having made capital
contributions in the amounts and on the dates set forth below:
Limited
Date of Partner Capital
Partnership Activation Contributions

----------- ------------------ ---------------
III-A November 21, 1989 $26,397,600
III-B January 24, 1990 13,833,600
III-C February 27, 1990 24,453,600
III-D September 5, 1990 13,100,800
III-E December 26, 1990 41,826,600
III-F March 7, 1991 22,148,400
III-G September 20, 1991 12,192,500
In general, the amount of funds available for acquisition of
producing properties was equal to the capital contributions of
the Limited Partners, less 15% for sales commissions and
organization and management fees. All of the Partnerships have
fully invested their capital contributions.
Net proceeds from operations less necessary operating capital are
distributed to Limited Partners on a quarterly basis. Revenues
and net proceeds of a Partnership are largely dependent upon the
volumes of oil and gas sold and the prices received for such oil
and gas. While the General Partner cannot predict future pricing
trends, it believes the working capital available as of September
30, 1997 and the net revenue generated from future operations
will provide sufficient working capital to meet current and
future obligations of the Partnerships.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
GENERAL DISCUSSION
The following general discussion should be read in conjunction
with the analysis of results of operations provided below. The
most important variable affecting the Partnerships' revenues is
the prices received for the sale of oil and gas. Predicting
future prices is very difficult. Substantially all of the
Partnerships' gas reserves are being sold in the "spot market".
Prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and
regional pricing fluctuations due to the highly competitive
nature of the spot market. In addition, such spot market sales
are generally short-term in nature and are dependent upon the
obtaining of transportation services provided by pipelines.
Management is unable to predict whether future oil and gas prices
will (i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.

As shown in the above table, total oil and gas sales decreased
$99,168 (12.2%) for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996. Of this
decrease, approximately $31,000 and $135,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold and a
decrease of approximately $21,000 was related to a decrease in
the average price of oil sold, which decreases were partially
offset by an increase of approximately $91,000 related to an
increase in the average price of gas sold. Volumes of oil and
gas sold decreased 1,452 barrels and 71,787 Mcf, respectively,
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in volumes of
oil sold resulted from a negative prior period volume adjustment
made by the purchaser on one well during the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted
primarily from (i) normal declines in production due to
diminished reserves on several wells and (ii) a positive prior
period volume adjustment made by the purchaser on one well during
the three months ended September 30, 1996. Average oil prices
decreased to $19.21 per barrel for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from $21.53 per barrel for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, while average gas prices increased to
$2.26 per Mcf for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from
$1.88 per Mcf for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $85,877 (39.5%) for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted
primarily from (i) workover expenses incurred on two wells during
the three months ended September 30, 1996 in order to improve the
recovery of reserves and (ii) decreases in volumes of oil and gas
sold during the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared
to the three months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 18.4% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from 26.8% for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. This percentage decrease was
primarily due to the dollar decrease in oil and gas production
expenses discussed above and the increase in the average price of
gas sold during the three months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $89,594 (30.3%) for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from
decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold during the three months
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this
expense decreased to 28.9% for the three months ended September
30, 1997 from 36.4% for the three months ended September 30,
1996. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the increase
in the average price of gas sold during the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996.
General and administrative expenses decreased $7,008 (8.6%) for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted
-35-
<PAGE>

primarily from a decrease in professional fees and printing and
postage expenses during the three months ended September 30, 1997
as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses remained
relatively constant at 10.4% for the three months ended September
30, 1997 and 10.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

As shown in the above table, total oil and gas sales decreased
$139,483 (5.1%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Of this
decrease, approximately $103,000 and $479,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, which
decrease was partially offset by an increase of approximately
$447,000 related to an increase in the average price of gas sold.
Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 5,107 barrels and 252,192
Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
decrease in volumes of oil sold resulted primarily from (i)
normal declines in production due to diminished reserves on two
wells and (ii) a negative prior period volume adjustment made by
the purchaser on one well during the nine months ended September
30, 1997. The decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily
from (i) normal declines in production due to diminished reserves

expenses and production taxes) decreased $142,329 (20.8%) for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted
primarily from decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, these expenses decreased to 21.0% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from 25.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This percentage decrease was primarily due
to the increase in the average price of gas sold during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $310,730 (31.0%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from decreases in
volumes of oil and gas sold during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense
decreased to 26.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
from 36.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This
percentage decrease was primarily due to the increase in the
average price of gas sold during the nine months ended September
30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
As set forth under "Results of Operations" above, the III-A
Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$1,617,006 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This
impairment provision was necessary due to the unamortized costs
of oil and gas properties exceeding the expected undiscounted
future net revenues from such oil and gas properties, in
accordance with the III-A Partnership's adoption of SFAS No. 121.
Of this amount, $184,644 was related to the decline in oil and
gas prices used to determine the recoverability of oil and gas
reserves at March 31, 1997 and $1,432,362 was related to
impairment of unproved properties. No similar charge was
necessary during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 under
SFAS No. 121.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and
gas sales, these expenses remained relatively constant at 9.3%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 9.1% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through
September 30, 1997 totaling $23,102,701 or 87.52% of Limited

in production due to diminished gas reserves on several wells.
Average oil prices decreased to $19.01 per barrel for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $22.23 per barrel for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, while average gas prices
increased to $1.96 per Mcf for the three months ended September
30, 1997 from $1.86 per Mcf for the three months ended September
30, 1996.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $24,691 (14.2%) for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted
primarily from decreases in volumes of gas sold during the three
months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
these expenses remained relatively constant at 23.5% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and 25.0% for the three
months ended September 30, 1996.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $86,144 (32.8%) for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from (i)
upward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 1996 and (ii) the decrease in the
volumes of gas sold during the three months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996.
As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to
27.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 37.9%
for the three months ended September 30, 1996. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in
depreciation, depletion, and amortization discussed above and the
increase in the average price of gas sold during the three months
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil
and gas sales, this expense remained relatively constant at 10.8%
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 10.1% for the

As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales decreased
$75,669 (3.3%)for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Of this
decrease, approximately $393,000 was related to a decrease in
volumes of gas sold, which decrease was partially offset by an
increase of approximately $15,000 related to an increase in
volumes of oil sold and an increase of approximately $303,000
related to an increase in the average price of gas sold. Volumes
of oil sold increased 739 barrels, while volumes of gas sold
decreased 215,016 Mcf for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from (i)
negative prior period volume adjustments made by the purchaser on
three wells during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, (ii)
positive prior period volume adjustments made by the purchaser on
several wells during the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
(iii) the sale of several gas producing wells during 1996 and
1997 and (iv) normal declines in production due to diminished gas
reserves on several wells. Average oil and gas prices increased
to $20.22 per barrel and $2.19 per Mcf, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $19.97 per barrel and
$1.83 per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September
30, 1996.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) decreased $49,117 (8.6%) for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted
primarily from decreases in volumes of gas sold during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
these expenses remained relatively constant at 23.4% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 24.7% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $316,826 (36.0%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) upward
revisions in the estimates of remaining oil and gas reserves at
December 31, 1996 and (ii) decreases in volumes of gas sold
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil
and gas sales, this expense decreased to 25.2% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from 38.1% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. This percentage decrease was primarily
due to the dollar decrease in depreciation, depletion, and
amortization discussed above and the increases in the average
prices of oil and gas sold during the nine months ended September
30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
As set forth under "Results of Operations" above, the III-C
Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$1,696,418 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This
impairment provision was necessary due to the unamortized costs
of oil and gas properties exceeding the expected undiscounted
future net revenues from such oil and gas properties, in
accordance with the III-C Partnership's adoption of SFAS No. 121.
Of this amount, $234,271 was related to the decline in oil and
gas prices used to determine the recoverability of oil and gas
reserves at March 31, 1997 and $1,462,147 was related to

30, 1997 from 26.8% for the three months ended September 30,
1996. This percentage increase was primarily due to the dollar
increase in oil and gas production expenses discussed above and
the decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold during
the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1996.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $39,217 (12.7%) for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from an
upward revision in the estimate of remaining oil reserves at
December 31, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this
expense increased to 40.9% for the three months ended September
30, 1997 from 38.4% for the three months ended September 30,
1996. This percentage increase was primarily due to the
decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold during the
three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1996.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil
and gas sales, these expenses increased to 9.5% for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from 7.9% for the three months
ended September 30, 1996. This percentage increase was primarily
due to the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO THE NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996.
Nine Months Ended September 30,
-------------------------
1997 1996
---------- ----------
Oil and gas sales $2,281,635 $2,257,857
Oil and gas production expenses $ 950,471 $ 926,056
Barrels produced 49,722 58,207
Mcf produced 722,858 719,068
Average price/Bbl $ 19.30 $ 19.55
Average price/Mcf $ 1.83 $ 1.56
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased
$23,778 (1.1%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Of this
increase, approximately $6,000 and $195,000, respectively, were
related to increases in the volumes and average price of gas
sold, which increases were partially offset by decreases of
approximately $166,000 and $12,000, respectively, related to
decreases in the volumes and average price of oil sold. Volumes
of oil sold decreased 8,485 barrels, while volumes of gas sold
increased 3,790 Mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
decrease in volumes of oil sold was primarily due to (i) normal
-49-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
declines in production due to diminished oil reserves on several
wells and (ii) a positive prior period volume adjustment made by
the purchaser on one well during the nine months ended September
30, 1996. Average oil prices decreased to $19.30 per barrel for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $19.55 per barrel
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Average gas prices
increased to $1.83 per Mcf for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 from $1.56 per Mcf for the nine months ended September
30, 1996.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) increased $24,415 (2.6%) for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This increase resulted
primarily from workover expenses incurred on two wells during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 in order to improve the
recovery of reserves, which increase was partially offset by the
decrease in volumes of oil sold during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
remained relatively constant at 41.7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 41.0% for the nine months ended September
30, 1996.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $154,585 (16.1%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) an upward
revision in the estimate of remaining oil reserves at December
31, 1996 and (ii) decreases in volumes of oil sold during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense decreased to 35.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from 42.4% for the nine months ended September
30, 1996. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the
dollar decrease in depreciation, depletion, and amortization
discussed above and the increase in the average price of gas sold
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
As set forth under "Results of Operations" above, the III-F
Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$2,884,405 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This
impairment provision was necessary due to the unamortized costs
of oil and gas properties exceeding the expected undiscounted
future net revenues from such oil and gas properties, in
accordance with the III-F Partnership's adoption of SFAS No. 121.
Of this amount, $2,078,019 was related to the decline in oil and
gas prices used to determine the recoverability of oil and gas
reserves at March 31, 1997 and $806,386 was related to impairment
of unproved properties. No similar charge was necessary during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and
gas sales, these expenses also remained relatively constant at
9.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 8.9% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

PARTNERSHIP III-G
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996.
Three Months Ended September 30,
--------------------------------
1997 1996
-------- --------
Oil and gas sales $398,505 $506,885
Oil and gas production expenses $207,950 $144,886
Barrels produced 10,451 14,165
Mcf produced 134,769 121,454
Average price/Bbl $ 17.74 $ 21.50
Average price/Mcf $ 1.58 $ 1.67
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales decreased
$108,380 (21.4%) for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996. Of this
decrease, approximately $80,000 was related to a decrease in
volumes of oil sold and approximately $39,000 and $12,000,
respectively, were related to decreases in the average prices of
oil and gas sold, which decreases were partially offset by an
increase of approximately $22,000 related to an increase in the
volumes of gas sold. Volumes of oil sold decreased 3,714 barrels
while volumes of gas sold increased 13,315 Mcf for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in volumes of oil sold
resulted primarily from (i) positive prior period volume
adjustments on several wells during the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and (ii) normal declines in production due to
diminished oil reserves on several wells. The increase in
volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from the shutting-in of
two wells during the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Average oil prices decreased to $17.74 per barrel for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $21.50 per barrel for the
three months ended September 30, 1996. Average gas prices
decreased to $1.58 per Mcf for the three months ended September
30, 1997 from $1.67 per Mcf for the three months ended September
30, 1996.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) increased $63,064 (43.5%) for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was due to an
increase in general repair and maintenance expenses during the
three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, these expenses increased to 52.2% for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from 28.6% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the
dollar increase in oil and gas production expenses discussed
above and the decreases in the average price of oil and gas sold
during the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1996.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $45,233 (23.5%) for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) an
upward revision in the estimate of remaining oil reserves at
December 31, 1996 and (ii) a decrease in volumes of oil sold
during the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, this expense remained relatively constant at
38.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 37.0% for
the three months ended September 30, 1996.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and
gas sales, these expenses increased to 8.6% for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from 6.9% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. This percentage increase was primarily due
to the decrease in oil sales discussed above.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AS COMPARED TO THE NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996.
Nine Months Ended September 30,
-------------------------------
1997 1996
---------- ----------
Oil and gas sales $1,405,635 $1,430,150
Oil and gas production expenses $ 605,560 $ 609,409
Barrels produced 35,841 41,945
Mcf produced 384,476 388,400
Average price/Bbl $ 19.35 $ 19.58
Average price/Mcf $ 1.85 $ 1.57
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales remained
relatively constant for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. While
decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold resulted in decreases of
approximately $120,000 and $6,000, respectively, and a decrease
of approximately $8,000 was related to a decrease in the average
price of oil sold, any resulting decrease in oil and gas sales
was mostly offset by an increase of approximately $108,000
related to an increase in the average price of gas sold. Volumes
of oil and gas sold decreased 6,104 barrels and 3,924 Mcf,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
decrease in volumes of oil sold resulted primarily from (i)
normal declines in production due to diminished oil reserves on
several wells and (ii) the sale of several wells in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. Average oil prices decreased to
$19.35 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
from $19.58 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, while average gas prices increased to $1.85 per Mcf for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.57 per Mcf for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating
expenses and production taxes) remained relatively constant for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, these expenses also remained relatively constant at 43.1%
-52-

for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 42.6% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties decreased $149,755 (25.1%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) an upward
revision in the estimate of remaining oil reserves at December
31, 1996 and (ii) decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense decreased to 31.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from 41.8% for the nine months ended September
30, 1996. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the
dollar decrease in depreciation, depletion, and amortization
discussed above and the increase in the average price of gas sold
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
As set forth under "Results of Operations" above, the III-G
Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$1,449,404 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This
impairment provision was necessary due to the unamortized costs
of oil and gas properties exceeding the expected undiscounted
future net revenues from such oil and gas properties, in
accordance with the III-G Partnership's adoption of SFAS No. 121.
Of this amount, $1,010,738 was related to the decline in oil and
gas prices used to determine the recoverability of oil and gas
reserves at March 31, 1997. No similar charge was necessary
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of oil and
