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.    A cash distribution was made to the limited partners of the Company in the
      amount of $15,496,  representing net revenues from the sale of oil and gas
      produced from properties owned by the Company.  This distribution was made
      on January 31, 1996.

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

4.    Effective  January 1, 1996,  the Company  sold its  interest in the Nunley
      Ranch acquisition for $1,066.  The Company  recognized a gain of $1,066 on
      the sale.

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  decreased  from  $99,279  in 1995 to
$88,275  in 1996.  This  represents  a  decrease  of  $11,004  (11%).  Oil sales
increased by $3,163 or 6%. A 9% increase in average oil sales  prices  increased
sales by $4,713.  This  increase  was  partially  offset by a 3% decrease in oil
production due to natural production declines. Gas sales decreased by $14,167 or
33%. A 40% decrease in gas  production  reduced sales by $17,329.  This decrease
was partially  offset by a 12% increase in gas  production.  The decrease in gas
production  was  primarily a result of the sale of the Nunley Ranch  acquisition
effective January 1, 1996, coupled with natural  production  declines which were
especially  pronounced on the Binger 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 $47,757 in the first quarter of 1995 to
$41,822 in the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease of $5,935 (12%) is primarily
due to the changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense  decreased from $40,825 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $18,185 in the first quarter of 1996.  This  represents a decrease of
$22,640  (55%). A 40% decrease in the depletion  rate reduced  depreciation  and
depletion expense by $12,038.  The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced
depreciation  and  depletion by an  additional  $10,602.  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 $1,066. The Company recognized a gain of $1,066 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.  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 from $12,005 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $11,258 in the first  quarter of 1996.  This decrease of $747 (6%) is
primarily  due to less  staff  time  being  required  to  manage  the  Company's
operations,  partially  offset by $2,352 higher direct expenses  incurred by the
Company in 1996.

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

                                    I-5

<PAGE>



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 limited
partners the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production after
payment of its debt obligations.  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.

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.
