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 $27,233, 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. 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 changes in the overall market for the sale of
oil and gas and significant decreases in the projected production from
certain of the Company's oil and gas properties.
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.
5. 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 decreased from $88,275 in 1996 to
$79,000 in 1997. This represents a decrease of $9,275 (11%). Oil sales decreased
by $2,031 or 3%. A 19% decrease in oil production reduced sales by $11,259. This
decrease was partially offset by a 19% increase in average oil sales prices. Gas
sales decreased by $7,244 or 25%. A 34% decrease in gas production reduced sales
by $9,867. This decrease was partially offset by a 14% increase in average gas
sales prices. The decreases in oil and gas production were primarily a result of
the shut in of production from the FEC acquisition to perform a workover in the
first quarter of 1997, coupled with natural production declines which were
especially pronounced on the Binger acquisition. The increases in average prices
correspond with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas.
Lease operating expenses increased from $41,822 in the first quarter of 1996 to
$52,662 in the first quarter of 1997. The increase of $10,840 (26%) is primarily
due to workover charges incurred on the FEC acquisition in the first quarter of
1997.
Depreciation and depletion expense decreased from $18,185 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $9,862 in the first quarter of 1997. This represents a decrease of
$8,323 (46%). A 26% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depreciation and
depletion expense by $3,491. The changes in production, noted above, reduced
depreciation and depletion by an additional $4,832. The rate decrease was
primarily due to upward revisions of the oil and gas reserves in December 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. 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 changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas and significant decreases in the projected production from certain of
the Company's oil and gas properties.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $11,258 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $8,986 in the first quarter of 1997. This decrease of $2,272 (20%) is
primarily due to less staff time being required to manage the Company's
operations in 1997.

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 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, 1996
reserve report prepared by Gruy, there appears to be sufficient future net
revenues to pay all obligations and expenses. The Company does not intend to
purchase additional properties or fund extensive development of existing oil and
gas properties, and as such; has no long-term liquidity needs. The Company's
projected cash flows from operations will provide sufficient funding to pay its
operating expenses and debt obligations. The general partner does not intend to
accelerate the repayment of the debt beyond the cash flow provided by operating,
financing and investing activities. Based upon current projected cash flows from
its property, it does not appear that the Company will have sufficient cash to
pay distributions and pay its operating expenses, and meet its debt obligations.
Future periodic distributions will be made once sufficient net revenues are
accumulated.
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.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant
developmental drilling activity.
