ENEX OIL & GAS INCOME PROGRAM IV - SERIES 7, L.P.

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.   On August 9, 1996,  the Company's  General  Partner  submitted  preliminary
     proxy  material to the  Securities  Exchange  Commission  with respect to a
     proposed  consolidation  of the  Company  with  33  other  managed  limited
     partnerships.   On  November  13,  1996,  the  Company  submitted   amended
     preliminary proxy material to the SEC with respect to this consolidationThe
     terms and  conditions of the proposed  consolidation  are set forth in such
     preliminary proxy material.

3.   A cash  distribution was made to the limited partners of the Company in the
     amount of $5,842,  representing  net revenues  from the sale of oil and gas
     produced from properties owned by the Company.  This  distribution was made
     on July 31,1996.

4.   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 $73,979 for certain
     oil and gas properties due to market  indications that the carrying amounts
     were not fully recoverable.

5.   Effective  January 1, 1996,  the  Company  sold its  interest in the Nunley
     Ranch  acquisition for $1,076.  The Company  recognized a gain of $1,076 on
     the sale.

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


Third Quarter 1995 Compared to Third Quarter 1996

Oil and gas  sales for the  third  quarter  increased  to  $97,154  in 1996 from
$68,719  in 1995.  This  represents  An  increase  of $28,435  (41%).  Oil sales
increased by $24,008 (49%). A 13% increase in oil production  increased sales by
$6,488.  A 31%  increase in the average  oil sales price  increased  sales by an
additional  $17,520.  Gas sales increased by $4,427 (22%). A 28% increase in the
average gas sales price increased  sales by $5,145.  This increase was partially
offset by a 4% decrease in gas  production.  The increase in oil  production was
primarily the result of higher  production from the El Mac acquisition which had
an  acidization  treatment  in the third  quarter of 1996.  The  decrease in gas
production  was primarily  due to natural  production  declines.  The changes in
average sales prices  correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale
of oil and gas.

Lease operating  expenses increased to $40,220 in the third quarter of 1996 from
$38,452 in the third quarter of 1995. The increase of $1,768 is primarily due to
the changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense decreased to $19,455 in the third quarter of
1996 from $27,278 in the third  quarter of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of
$7,823 (29%).  A 32% decrease in the  depletion  rate reduced  depreciation  and
depletion  expense by $9,018.  This decrease was partially offset by the changes
in  production,  noted above.  The rate  decrease was primarily due to the lower
property basis  resulting  from the  recognition of an impairment of property of
$73,979 in the first quarter of 1996.

General and administrative  expenses decreased to $7,956 in the third quarter of
1996 from $8,573 in 1995.  This  decrease of $617 (7%) is primarily  due to less
staff time being required to manage the Company's operations.

First Nine Months in 1995 Compared to First Nine Months in 1996

Oil and gas sales for the first six months  increased  to  $268,222 in 1996 from
$260,088  in 1995.  This  represents  an  increase  of $8,134  or 3%.  Oil sales
increased  by $26,912  (17%).  An 18%  increase  in the  average oil sales price
increased sales by $29,309.  This increase was partially offset by a 1% decrease
in oil  production.  Gas sales decreased by $18,778 (19%). A 29% decrease in gas
production reduced sales by $28,231. This decrease was partially offset by a 15%
increase in the average gas sales  price.  The  decrease in oil  production  was
primarily  the  result of  natural  production  declines.  The  decrease  in gas
production  was  primarily  due to the  sale of the  Nunley  Ranch  acquisition,
effective  January  1,  1996,  and the  shut-in  of  production  from the Binger
acquisition to perform a workover,  together with natural  production  declines.
The  changes in average  sales  prices  correspond  with  changes in the overall
market for the sale of oil and gas.

Lease operating  expenses increased to $142,076 in the first nine months of 1996
from $124,449 in the first nine months of 1995. The increase of $17,627 (14%) is
primarily  due to the  conversion of a well in the Binger  acquisition  to a gas
injection well in 1996.

Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $54,649 in the first nine months
of 1996 from  $107,799  in the first  nine  months of 1995.  This  represents  a
decrease of $53,150  (49%).  The changes in  production,  noted  above,  reduced
depreciation and depletion  expense by $24,567.  A 34% decrease in the depletion
rate reduced  depreciation and depletion expense by an additional  $28,583.  The
rate decrease was primarily due to the lower property  basis  resulting from the
recognition  of an  impairment  of property  of $73,979 in the first  quarter of
1996.

Effective  January 1, 1996,  the Company  sold its  interest in the Nunley Ranch
acquisition for $1,076. The Company recognized a gain of $1,076 on the sale.

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 $73,979 for certain
oil and gas properties due to market  indications that the carrying amounts were
not fully recoverable.

General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  to  $28,694 in the first nine
months of 1996 from $29,105 in 1995. This decrease of $411 (1%) is primarily due
to 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's "available cash flow" is essentially equal to
the net amount of cash provided by operating activities.

The Company discontinued the payment of distributions during 1995. In July 1995,
the  Company   reinstated   distributions  to  its  limited   partners.   Future
distributions  are dependent  upon,  among other  things,  an increase in prices
received for oil and gas. The Company will  continue to recover its reserves and
distribute  to the limited  partners the net proceeds  realized form the sale of
oil and gas  production.  Distribution  amounts  are  subject  to  change if net
revenues  are  greater or less than  expected.  Based on the  December  31, 1995
reserve  report  prepared by Gruy,  there  appears to be  sufficient  future net
revenues to pay all  obligations  and  expenses.  The General  Partner  does not
intend to accelerate  the  repayment of the debt beyond the Company's  cash flow
provided by operating  activities.  Future periodic  distributions  will be made
once sufficient net revenues are accumulated.

On August 9, 1996, the Company's  General Partner  submitted  preliminary  proxy
material  to the  Securities  Exchange  Commission  with  respect  to a proposed
consolidation  of the Company with 33 other  managed  limited  partnerships.  On
November 13, 1996, the Company submitted  amended  preliminary proxy material to
the SEC with respect to this consolidation. The  terms  and  conditions  of the
proposed consolidation are set forth in such preliminary proxy material.

As of September 30, 1996,  the Company had no material  commitments  for capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
