2.       A cash  distribution was made to the limited partners of the Company in
         the amount of $24,298,  representing  net revenues from the sale of oil
         and  gas  produced  from   properties   owned  by  the  Company.   This
         distribution was made on January 31, 1997.

3.       On April 7, 1997, the Company's  General  Partner mailed proxy material
         to the limited partners with respect to a proposed consolidation of the
         Company  with 33 other  managed  limited  partnerships.  The  terms and
         conditions  of the proposed  consolidation  are set forth in such proxy
         material.

Item 2.            Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

First Quarter 1997 Compared to First Quarter 1996

Oil and gas  sales for the  first  quarter  increased  from  $31,405  in 1996 to
$48,714  in 1997.  This  represents  an  increase  of $17,309  (55%).  Oil sales
increased  by $3,219 or 44%. A 46%  increase  in the average oil net sales price
increased sales by $3,337. This increase was partially offset by a 2% decline in
oil  production.  Gas sales  increased  $14,090  or 59%. A 42%  increase  in the
average net gas sales price  increased  sales by $11,302.  A 12% increase in gas
production increased sales by an additional $2,788. The increases in average net
prices  correspond  with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas. The decrease in oil production was primarily due to natural  production
declines.  The increase in gas production was primarily due to higher production
from  Wardner  Ranch  acquisition  which was shut-in for a workover in the first
quarter of 1996.

Depletion expense decreased from $16,426 in the first quarter of 1996 to $13,270
in the first quarter of 1997.  This represents a decrease of $3,156 (19%). A 26%
decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced  depletion  expense by  $4,590.  This
decrease was partially  offset by the changes in  production,  noted above.  The
decrease in the depletion rate was primarily due upward revisions of the oil and
gas reserves during December 1996.

General and  administrative  expenses increased from $4,417 in 1996 to $5,574 in
1997.  This increase of $1,157 (26%) was primarily a result of a $1,905 increase
in direct  expenses  incurred by the Company in 1997,  partially  offset 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 1996 to 1997 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's "available cash flow" is essentially equal to
the  net  amount  of  cash  provided  by  operating,   financing  and  investing
activities.

The Company will continue to recover its reserves and  distribute to the limited
partners  the net  proceeds  realized  from the sale of oil and gas  production.
Distribution  amounts are subject to change if net  revenues are greater or less
than  expected.  Nonetheless,  the general  partner  believes  the Company  will
continue  to have  sufficient  cash flow to fund  operations  and to  maintain a
regular pattern of distributions.

On April 7, 1997,  the Company's  General  Partner  mailed proxy material to the
limited partners with respect to a proposed consolidation of the Company with 33
other managed  limited  partnerships.  The terms and  conditions of the proposed
consolidation are set forth in such proxy material.
