NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) General Information -
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Partnership and are unaudited except for the balance sheet at
December 31, 1997 which has been taken from the audited financial
statements at that date. The financial statements reflect adjustments,
all of which were of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the
opinion of the managing general partner necessary for a fair
presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The
Partnership believes adequate disclosure is provided by the information
presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and the notes included in the latest
Form 10-K.
(2) Organization and Terms of Partnership Agreement -
Swift Energy Income Partners 1990-A, Ltd., a Texas limited
partnership ("the Partnership"), was formed on April 17, 1990, for the
purpose of purchasing and operating producing oil and gas properties
within the continental United States. Swift Energy Company ("Swift"), a
Texas corporation, and VJM Corporation ("VJM"), a California
corporation, serve as Managing General Partner and Special General
Partner of the Partnership, respectively. The general partners are
required to contribute up to 1/99th of limited partner net
contributions. The 568 limited partners made total capital contributions
of $5,738,400.
Property acquisition costs and the management fee are borne 99
percent by the limited partners and one percent by the general partners.
Organization and syndication costs were borne solely by the limited
partners.
Generally, all continuing costs (including development costs,
operating costs, general and administrative reimbursements and direct
expenses) and revenues are allocated 90 percent to the limited partners
and ten percent to the general partners. If prior to partnership payout,
however, the cash distribution rate for a certain period equals or
exceeds 17.5 percent, then for the following calendar year, these
continuing costs and revenues will be allocated 85 percent to the
limited partners and 15 percent to the general partners. After
partnership payout, continuing costs and revenues will be shared 85
percent by the limited partners, and 15 percent by the general partners,
even if the cash distribution rate is less than 17.5 percent. During
1993 and 1992, the cash distribution rate (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) exceeded 17.5 percent and thus, in 1994 and 1993, the
continuing costs and revenues were shared 85 percent by the limited
partners and 15 percent by the general partners. During 1997, 1996, 1995
and 1994, the cash distribution rate fell below 17.5 percent and thus,
in 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the continuing costs and revenues will be
(were) shared 90 percent by the limited partners and 10 percent by the
general partners.
(3) Significant Accounting Policies -
Use of Estimates --
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from estimates.
Oil and Gas Properties --
The Partnership accounts for its ownership interest in oil and
gas properties using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby the
Partnership's share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is
included in the appropriate classification in the financial statement.

<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1990-A, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
For financial reporting purposes the Partnership follows the
"full-cost" method of accounting for oil and gas property costs. Under
this method of accounting, all productive and nonproductive costs
incurred in the acquisition and development of oil and gas reserves are
capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisitions, geological and
geophysical services, drilling, completion, equipment and certain
general and administrative costs directly associated with acquisition
and development activities. General and administrative costs related to
production and general overhead are expensed as incurred. No general and
administrative costs were capitalized during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997.
Future development, site restoration, dismantlement and
abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are estimated on a
property-by-property basis based on current economic conditions and are
amortized to expense as the Partnership's capitalized oil and gas
property costs are amortized.
The unamortized cost of oil and gas properties is limited to
the "ceiling limitation" (calculated separately for the Partnership,
limited partners and general partners). The "ceiling limitation" is
calculated on a quarterly basis and represents the estimated future net
revenues from proved properties using current prices, discounted at ten
percent, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties.
Proceeds from the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties are
treated as a reduction of oil and gas property costs with no gains or
losses being recognized except in significant transactions.
The Partnership computes the provision for depreciation,
depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties on the
units-of-production method. Under this method, the provision is
calculated by multiplying the total unamortized cost of oil and gas
properties, including future development, site restoration,
dismantlement and abandonment costs, by an overall amortization rate
that is determined by dividing the physical units of oil and gas
produced during the period by the total estimated units of proved oil
and gas reserves at the beginning of the period.
The calculation of the "ceiling limitation" and the provision
for depreciation, depletion and amortization is based on estimates of
proved reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating
quantities of proved reserves and in projecting the future rates of
production, timing and plan of development. The accuracy of any reserve
estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of
engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of
drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate
may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates
are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are
ultimately recovered.
(4) Related-Party Transactions -
An affiliate of the Special General Partner, as Dealer
Manager, received $143,460 for managing and overseeing the offering of
the limited partnership units. A one-time management fee of $143,460 was
paid to Swift for services performed for the Partnership.
Effective April 17, 1990, the Partnership entered into a Net
Profits and Overriding Royalty Interest Agreement ("NP/OR Agreement")
with Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets Partnership 1990-A, Ltd.
("Pension Partnership"), managed by Swift for the purpose of acquiring
working interests in producing oil and gas properties. Under terms of
the NP/OR Agreement, the Partnership will convey to the Pension
Partnership a nonoperating interest in the aggregate net profits (i.e.,
oil and gas sales net of related operating costs) of the properties
acquired equal to its proportionate share of the property acquisition
costs.
(5) Gas Imbalances -
The Partnership recognizes its ownership interest in natural
gas production as revenue. Actual production quantities sold may be
different than the Partnership's ownership share in a given period. If
the Partnership's sales exceed its ownership share of production, the
differences are recorded as deferred revenue. Gas balancing receivables
are recorded when the Partnership's ownership share of production
exceeds sales.

SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1990-A, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
(6) Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations -
The Partnership's revenues are primarily the result of sales
of its oil and natural gas production. Market prices of oil and natural
gas may fluctuate and adversely affect operating results.
In the normal course of business, the Partnership extends
credit, primarily in the form of monthly oil and gas sales receivables,
to various companies in the oil and gas industry which results in a
concentration of credit risk. This concentration of credit risk may be
affected by changes in economic or other conditions and may accordingly
impact the Partnership's overall credit risk. However, the Managing
General Partner believes that the risk is mitigated by the size,
reputation, and nature of the companies to which the Partnership extends
credit. In addition, the Partnership generally does not require
collateral or other security to support customer receivables.
(7) Fair Value of Financial Instruments -
The Partnership's financial instruments consist of cash and
cash equivalents and short-term receivables and payables. The carrying
amounts approximate fair value due to the highly liquid nature of the
short-term instruments.
(8) Year 2000 -
The Year 2000 issue results from computer programs and
embedded computer chips with date fields that cannot distinguish between
the year 1900 and 2000. The Managing General Partner is currently
implementing the steps necessary to make its operations and the related
operations of the Partnership Year 2000 compliant. These steps include
upgrading, testing and certifying computer systems and field operation
services and obtaining Year 2000 compliance certification from all
important business suppliers. The Managing General Partner formed a task
force during the year to address the Year 2000 issue to ensure that all
of its business systems are Year 2000 compliant by mid-1999 with mission
critical systems projected to be compliant by the end of 1998.
The Managing General Partner's business systems are almost
entirely comprised of off-the-shelf software. Most of the necessary
changes in computer instructional code can be made by upgrading this
software. The Managing General Partner is currently in the process of
either upgrading the off-the-shelf software or receiving certification
as to Year 2000 compliance from vendors or third party consultants. A
testing phase will be conducted as the software is updated or certified
and is expected to be complete by mid-1999.
The Managing General Partner does not believe that costs
incurred to address the Year 2000 issue with respect to its business
systems will have a material effect on the Partnership's results of
operations, liquidity and financial condition. The estimated total cost
to the Managing General Partner to address Year 2000 issues is projected
to be less than $150,000, most of which will be spent during the testing
phase in the next nine months. The Partnership's share of this cost is
expected to be insignificant.
The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could
result in an interruption, or a failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations. Based on activities to date, the Managing
General Partner believes that it will be able to resolve any Year 2000
problems concerning its financial and administrative systems. The
Managing General Partner is uncertain, however, as to the impact that
the Year 2000 issue will have on field operations or as to how the
Managing General Partner or the Partnership will be indirectly affected
by the impact that the Year 2000 issue will have on companies with which
it conducts business. For example, the pipeline operators to whom the
Managing General Partner sells the Partnership's natural gas, as well as
other customers and suppliers, could be prone to Year 2000 problems that
could not be assessed or detected by the Managing General Partner. The
Managing General Partner plans to contact its major purchasers,
customers, suppliers, financial institutions and others with whom it
conducts business to determine whether they will be Year 2000 compliant
and whether they will be able to resolve in a timely manner any Year
2000 problems. Based upon these responses and any problems that arise
during the testing phase, contingency plans or back-up systems would be
determined and addressed.

SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1990-A, LTD.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of investing in producing oil
and gas properties located within the continental United States. In order to
accomplish this, the Partnership goes through two distinct yet overlapping
phases with respect to its liquidity and result of operations. When the
Partnership is formed, it commences its "acquisition" phase, with all funds
placed in short-term investments until required for such property acquisitions.
The interest earned on these pre-acquisition investments becomes the primary
cash flow source for initial partner distributions. As the Partnership acquires
producing properties, net cash from operations becomes available for
distribution, along with the investment income. After partnership funds have
been expended on producing oil and gas properties, the Partnership enters its
"operations" phase. During this phase, oil and gas sales generate substantially
all revenues, and distributions to partners reflect those revenues less all
associated partnership expenses. The Partnership may also derive proceeds from
the sale of acquired oil and gas properties, when the sale of such properties is
economically appropriate or preferable to continued operation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Oil and gas reserves are depleting assets and therefore often experience
significant production declines each year from the date of acquisition through
the end of the life of the property. The primary source of liquidity to the
Partnership comes almost entirely from the income generated from the sale of oil
and gas produced from ownership interests in oil and gas properties. Net cash
provided by operating activities totaled $318,266 and $525,486 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This source of liquidity
and the related results of operations, and in turn cash distributions, will
decline in future periods as the oil and gas produced from these properties also
declines while production and general and administrative costs remain relatively
stable making it unlikely that the Partnership will hold the properties until
they are fully depleted, but will likely liquidate when a substantial majority
of the reserves have been produced. Cash provided by property sale proceeds
totaled $245,730 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The Partnership
has expended all of the partners' net commitments available for property
acquisitions and development by acquiring producing oil and gas properties. The
partnership invests primarily in proved producing properties with nominal levels
of future costs of development for proven but undeveloped reserves. Significant
purchases of additional reserves or extensive drilling activity are not
anticipated. Cash distributions totaled $460,410 and $450,008 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Partnership does not allow for additional assessments from the
partners to fund capital requirements. However, funds in addition to the
remaining unexpended net capital commitments of the partners are available from
partnership revenues, borrowings or proceeds from the sale of partnership
property. The Managing General Partner believes that the funds currently
available to the Partnership will be adequate to meet any anticipated capital
requirements.
Results of Operations
The following analysis explains changes in the revenue and expense
categories for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 (current quarter) when
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1997 (corresponding quarter), and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 (current period), when compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 (corresponding period).
Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
Oil and gas sales declined $101,562 or 42 percent in the third quarter of
1998 when compared to the corresponding quarter in 1997, primarily due to
decreased gas and oil prices. A decline in gas prices of 20 percent or $.49/MCF
and in oil prices of 35 percent or $5.91/BBL had a significant impact on
partnership performance. Also, current quarter gas and oil production declined
23 percent and 41 percent, respectively, when compared to third quarter 1997
production volumes, further contributing to decreased revenues. The
partnership's sale of several properties in the fourth quarter of 1997 and the
first quarter of 1998 had an impact on 1998 partnership production volumes.
Corresponding operating expenses declined 22 percent in the third quarter of
1998 when compared to the third quarter of 1997.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 35 percent or $23,838 in 1998
compared to third quarter 1997, also related to the decline in production
volumes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
Oil and gas sales declined $338,467 or 43 percent in the first nine months
of 1998 when compared to the corresponding period in 1997, primarily due to
decreased gas and oil production. Gas production decreased 30 percent and oil
production declined 31 percent. The decrease in production volumes had a
significant impact on partnership performance. The partnership's sale of several
properties in the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998 had an
impact on 1998 partnership production volumes. Also, current period gas and oil
prices declined 12 percent or $.29/MCF and 33 percent or $6.05/BBL,
respectively, further contributing to decreased revenues. Corresponding
operating expenses for the first nine months of 1998 decreased 19 percent when
compared to the same period in 1997.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 43 percent or $101,425 in 1998
compared to the first nine months of 1997, also related to the decline in
production volumes.
During 1998, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
limited partners and general partners in a 90:10 ratio.
