PART I
Item 1. Business
General Description of Partnership
Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets Partnership 1990-C, Ltd., a Texas
limited partnership (the "Partnership" or the "Registrant"), is a partnership
formed under a public serial limited partnership offering denominated Swift
Energy Managed Pension Assets Fund I (Registration Statement No. 33-15998 on
Form S-1, originally declared effective November 13, 1987, and amended effective
November 3, 1988, August 4, 1989 and May 1, 1990 [the "Registration
Statement"]). The Partnership was formed effective September 30, 1990 under a
Limited Partnership Agreement dated September 30, 1990. The initial 425 limited
partners made capital contributions of $3,654,622.
The Partnership is principally engaged in the business of acquiring
nonoperating interests (i.e., net profits interests, royalty interests and
overriding royalty interests) in proven oil and gas properties within the
continental United States. The Partnership does not acquire working interests in
or operate oil and gas properties, and does not engage in drilling activities.
At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had expended or committed to expend 100%
of the limited partners' net commitments (i.e., limited partners' commitments
available to the Partnership for property acquisitions after payment of
organizational fees and expenses) in the acquisition and development of
nonoperating interests in producing properties, which properties are described
under Item 2, "Properties," below. The Partnership's income is derived almost
entirely from its nonoperating interests and the disposition thereof.
The Partnership's business and affairs are conducted by its Managing
General Partner, Swift Energy Company, a Texas corporation ("Swift"). The
Partnership's Special General Partner, VJM Corporation, a California corporation
("VJM"), consults with and advises Swift as to certain financial matters.
The general manner in which the Partnership acquires nonoperating
interests and otherwise conducts its business is described in detail in the
Registration Statement under "Proposed Activities," which is incorporated herein
by reference. The following is intended only as a summary of the Partnership's
manner of doing business and specific activities to date.
Liquidation
In October 1997, the managing general partner informed the limited
partners of a proposal to sell all the Partnership's nonoperating interests in
properties and dissolve and liquidate the Partnership. The special meeting of
Limited Partners was held on November 25, 1997. Since a quorum was not reached,
the meeting was adjourned and subsequently held on December 9, 1997.
Of the total units held by the limited partners, a majority voted for
adoption of the proposal for sales of substantially all of the assets of the
Partnership and the dissolution, winding up and termination of the Partnership.
The Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for the period
subsequent to November 30, 1997.
Manner of Acquiring Nonoperating Interests in Properties; Net Profits and
Overriding Royalty Interest Agreement
The nonoperating interests owned by the Registrant have typically been
acquired pursuant to a Net Profits and Overriding Royalty Interest Agreement
dated September 30, 1990 (the "NP/OR Agreement") between the Registrant and
Swift Energy Income Partners 1990-C, Ltd. (the "Operating Partnership"). The
Operating Partnership is a Texas limited partnership that is also managed by
Swift and VJM. The Operating Partnership was formed to acquire and develop
producing oil and gas properties.
Under the NP/OR Agreement, the Registrant and the Operating Partnership
have, in effect, combined their funds to acquire producing properties. Using
funds committed to the NP/OR Agreement by both partnerships, the Operating
Partnership acquires producing properties, then promptly conveys nonoperating
interests therein to the Registrant. The Operating Partnership retains a working
interest in each such property, and is responsible for the production of oil and
gas therefrom. For the sake of legal and administrative convenience, producing
properties are usually acquired from the third party sellers by Swift, which
then conveys a working interest in each such property to the Operating
Partnership. The Registrant initially committed $3,072,822 and the Operating
Partnership initially committed $5,200,650 for acquisitions under the NP/OR
Agreement. The Operating Partnership is obligated under the NP/OR Agreement to
convey to the Registrant a 37% fixed net profits interest and a variable
overriding royalty interest in specified depths of all producing properties
acquired under the NP/OR Agreement.
I-1
<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY MANAGED PENSION ASSETS PARTNERSHIP 1990-C, LTD.
Under the NP/OR Agreement, the Operating Partnership is required to
convey to the Registrant, and the Registrant is required to purchase,
nonoperating interests in all producing properties acquired by the Operating
Partnership, except that:
1. properties anticipated to require significant development
operations and nonoperating interests offered to the Operating Partnership by
third parties may be purchased by the Operating Partnership outside the NP/OR
Agreement, without participation by the Registrant;
2. during a specified one-year period, the Registrant is
entitled to reduce the amount originally committed by it to purchases under the
NP/OR Agreement and to redirect such funds to the purchase of nonoperating
interests from sources other than the Operating Partnership; and
3. the Registrant's funds will be released from the NP/OR
Agreement if they are not completely spent by the Operating Partnership within a
specified period, or if there is a prior withdrawal of funds by the Operating
Partnership to purchase properties anticipated to require significant
development.
Purchases of nonoperating interests by the Registrant using withdrawn
or released funds may be made from the Managing General Partner and its
affiliates, other partnerships affiliated with the Operating Partnership
(possibly through the Registrant's entry into a new NP/OR Agreement), or from
unaffiliated third parties.
In accordance with its obligations under the NP/OR Agreement, as of
December 31, 1997 the Operating Partnership had conveyed to the Registrant a 37%
net profits interest burdening certain depths of all producing properties
acquired by the Operating Partnership thereunder. Typically, a net profits
interest in an oil and gas property entitles the owner to a specified percentage
share of the gross proceeds generated by the burdened property, net of operating
costs. The net profits interest conveyed to the Registrant under the NP/OR
Agreement differs from the typical net profits interest in that it is calculated
over the entire group of producing properties conveyed under the NP/OR
Agreement; i.e., all operating costs attributable to the burdened depths of such
properties are aggregated, and the total is then subtracted from the total of
all gross proceeds attributable to such depths in order to calculate the net
profits to which the Registrant is entitled. The net profits interest conveyed
to the Registrant burdens only those depths of each subject property which were
evaluated to contain proved reserves at the date of acquisition, to the extent
such depths underlie specified surface acreage.
The Operating Partnership has also conveyed to the Registrant under the
NP/OR Agreement an overriding royalty interests in each property acquired
thereunder. An overriding royalty interest is a fractional interest in the gross
production (or the gross proceeds therefrom) of oil and gas from a property,
free of any exploration, development, operation or maintenance expenses. Under
the NP/OR Agreement, the overriding royalty interest burdens the portions of
each producing property that were evaluated at the date of acquisition not to
contain proved reserves.
Competition, Markets and Regulations
Competition
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive in all its phases. The
Partnership encounters strong competition from many other oil and gas producers,
many of which possess substantial financial resources, in acquiring economically
desirable Producing Properties.
Markets
The amounts of and price obtainable for oil and gas production from
Partnership Properties will be affected by market factors beyond the control of
the Partnership. Such factors include the extent of domestic production, the
level of imports of foreign oil and gas, the general level of market demand on a
regional, national and worldwide basis, domestic and foreign economic conditions
that determine levels of industrial production, political events in foreign
oil-producing regions, and variations in governmental regulations and tax laws
and the imposition of new governmental requirements upon the oil and gas
industry. There can be no assurance that oil and gas prices will not decrease in
the future, thereby decreasing net Revenues from Partnership Properties.
I-2
<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY MANAGED PENSION ASSETS PARTNERSHIP 1990-C, LTD.
From time to time, there may exist a surplus of natural gas or oil
supplies, the effect of which may be to reduce the amount of hydrocarbons that
the Partnerships may produce and sell while such oversupply exists. In recent
years, initial steps have been taken to provide additional gas transportation
lines from Canada to the United States. If additional Canadian gas is brought to
the United States market, it could create downward pressure on United States gas
prices.
Regulations
Environmental Regulation
The federal government and various state and local governments have
adopted laws and regulations regarding the control of contamination of the
environment. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit
by Operators before drilling commences, prohibit drilling activities on certain
lands lying within wilderness areas or where pollution arises and impose
substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations, particularly
operations near or in onshore and offshore waters or on submerged lands. These
laws and regulations may also increase the costs of routine drilling and
operation of wells. Because these laws and regulations change frequently, the
costs to the Partnership of compliance with existing and future environmental
regulations cannot be predicted. However, the Managing Partner does not believe
that the Partnership is affected in a significantly different manner by these
regulations than are its competitors in the oil and gas industry.
Federal Regulation of Natural Gas
The transportation and sale of natural gas in interstate commerce is
heavily regulated by agencies of the federal government. The following
discussion is intended only as a summary of the principal statutes, regulations
and orders that may affect the production and sale of natural gas from
Partnership Properties. This summary should not be relied upon as a complete
review of applicable natural gas regulatory provisions.
FERC Orders
Several major regulatory changes have been implemented by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") from 1985 to the present that affect the
economics of natural gas production, transportation and sales. In addition, the
FERC continues to promulgate revisions to various aspects of the rules and
regulations affecting those segments of the natural gas industry that remain
subject to the FERC's jurisdiction. In April 1992, the FERC issued Order No. 636
pertaining to pipeline restructuring. This rule requires interstate pipelines to
unbundle transportation and sales services by separately stating the price of
each service and by providing customers only the particular service desired,
without regard to the source for purchase of the gas. The rule also requires
pipelines to (i) provide nondiscriminatory "no-notice" service allowing firm
commitment shippers to receive delivery of gas on demand up to certain limits
without penalties, (ii) establish a basis for release and reallocation of firm
upstream pipeline capacity and (iii) provide non-discriminatory access to
capacity by firm transportation shippers on a downstream pipeline. The rule
requires interstate pipelines to use a straight fixed variable rate design. The
rule imposes these same requirements upon storage facilities.
FERC Order No. 500 affects the transportation and marketability of
natural gas. Traditionally, natural gas has been sold by producers to pipeline
companies, which then resold the gas to end-users. FERC Order No. 500 alters
this market structure by requiring interstate pipelines that transport gas for
others to provide transportation service to producers, distributors and all
other shippers of natural gas on a nondiscriminatory, "first-come, first-served"
basis ("open access transportation"), so that producers and other shippers can
sell natural gas directly to end-users. FERC Order No. 500 contains additional
provisions intended to promote greater competition in natural gas markets.
It is not anticipated that the marketability of and price obtainable
for natural gas production from Partnership Properties will be significantly
affected by FERC Order No. 500. Gas produced from Partnership Properties
normally will be sold to intermediaries who have entered into transportation
arrangements with pipeline companies. These intermediaries will accumulate gas
purchased from a number of producers and sell the gas to end-users through open
access pipeline transportation.

SWIFT ENERGY MANAGED PENSION ASSETS PARTNERSHIP 1990-C, LTD.
State Regulations
Production of any oil and gas from Partnership Properties will be
affected to some degree by state regulations. Many states in which the
Partnership will operate have statutory provisions regulating the production and
sale of oil and gas, including provisions regarding deliverability. Such
statutes, and the regulations promulgated in connection therewith, are generally
intended to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights to
produce oil and gas between owners of a common reservoir. Certain state
regulatory authorities also regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by
assigning allowable rates of production to each well or proration unit.
Federal Leases
Some of the Partnership's properties are located on federal oil and gas
leases administered by various federal agencies, including the Bureau of Land
Management. Various regulations and orders affect the terms of leases,
exploration and development plans, methods of operation and related matters.
Employees
The Partnership has no employees. Swift, however, has a staff of
geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers, landmen, and accounting
personnel who administer the operations of Swift and the Partnership. As of
December 31, 1997, Swift had 194 employees. Swift's administrative and overhead
expenses attributable to the Partnership's operations are borne by the
Partnership.

Item 2. Nonoperating Interests in Properties
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has acquired nonoperating
interests in producing oil and gas properties which are generally described
below.
Principal Oil and Gas Producing Properties
The most valuable fields in the Partnership, based upon year-end
engineering estimates of discounted future net revenues using constant pricing
and costs, are described below.
1. The Velrex Field is located in Schleicher County, Texas, and
accounts for 43% of the value in this Partnership. Wells in this field produce
from the Henderson and Canyon Sands, (Sugarland acquisition).
2. The Cody Bell Field is in Schleicher County, Texas (Sugarland
acquisition). This field represents 25% of the Partnership's value.
3. The Key Field is in Wheeler County, Texas (Arkla acquisition). This
field represents 20% of the Partnership's value.
The remaining value in the Partnership is attributable to numerous
properties none of which equals or exceeds 15 percent of the total Partnership
value.
Title to Properties
Title to substantially all significant producing properties in which
the Partnership owns nonoperating interests has been examined. In addition to
the nonoperating interests owned by the Partnership, the properties are subject
to royalty, overriding royalty and other interests customary in the industry.
The Managing General Partner does not believe any of these burdens materially
detract from the value of the properties or will materially detract from the
value of the properties or materially interfere with their use in the operation
of the business of the Partnership.
Production and Sales Price
The following table summarizes the volumes of the Partnership's net
nonoperating interests in oil and gas production expressed in MCFs. Equivalent
MCFs are obtained by converting oil to gas on the basis of their relative energy
content; one barrel equals 6,000 cubic feet of gas. Average Net Nonoperating
Interest Price per Equivalent MCF is determined by dividing the related oil and
gas revenue from nonoperating interests by the equivalent MCF's.

Presented below are the estimates of the Partnership's proved reserves
as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. The Partnership does not itself own a
direct interest in proved reserves. The proved reserve estimates shown below
represent an estimate of the proved reserves owned by the Operating Partnership
equal to the percentage net profits interest conveyed to the Partnership by the
Operating Partnership. All of the Partnership's nonoperating interests in proved
reserves are located in the United States.

Revisions of previous quantity estimates are related to upward or
downward variations based on current engineering information for production
rates, volumetrics and reservoir pressure. Additionally, changes in quantity
estimates are the result of the increase or decrease in crude oil and natural
gas prices at each year end which have the effect of adding or reducing proved
reserves on marginal properties due to economic limitations.

</TABLE>
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of
proved reserves and in projecting the future rates of production, timing and
plan of development. Oil and gas reserve engineering must be recognized as a
subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that
cannot be measured in an exact way, and estimates of other engineers might
differ from those above, audited by H. J. Gruy and Associates, Inc., an
independent petroleum consulting firm. 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,
and, as a general rule, reserve estimates based upon volumetric analysis are
inherently less reliable than those based on lengthy production history.
Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil
and gas that are ultimately recovered.
In estimating the oil and natural gas reserves, the Registrant, in
accordance with criteria prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
has used prices received as of December 31, 1997 without escalation, except in
those instances where fixed and determinable gas price escalations are covered
by contracts, limited to the price the Partnership reasonably expects to
receive. The Registrant does not believe that any favorable or adverse event
causing a significant change in the estimated quantity of proved reserves has
occurred between December 31, 1997 and the date of this report.
Future prices received for the sale of the Partnership's products may
be higher or lower than the prices used in the evaluation described above; the
operating costs relating to such production may also increase or decrease from
existing levels. The estimates presented above are in accordance with rules
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Partnership is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings
to which it is a party or of which any of its property is the subject.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of limited partners during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, except as discussed
above in Item 1. "Liquidation" section.

Item 5. Market Price of and Distributions on the Registrant's Units and Related
Limited Partner Matters
Market Information
Units in the Partnership were initially sold at a price of $100 per
Unit. Units are not traded on any exchange and there is no established public
trading market for the Units. Swift is aware of negotiated transfers of Units
between unrelated parties; however, these transfers have been limited and
sporadic. Due to the nature of these transactions, Swift has no verifiable
information regarding prices at which Units have been transferred.
Holders
As of December 31, 1997, there were 425 Limited Partners holding Units
in the Partnership.
Distributions
The Partnership generally makes distributions to Limited Partners on a
quarterly basis, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Limited
Partnership Agreement. In the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, the
Partnership distributed a total of $90,000 and $86,700, respectively, to the
holders of its Units. Cash distributions constitute net proceeds from sale of
oil and gas production after payment of lease operating expenses and other
partnership expenses. Some or all of such amounts or any proceeds from the sale
of partnership properties could be deemed to constitute a return of investors'
capital.
Due to the liquidation of the Partnership, the last regular quarterly
distribution was made in January 1998. For information regarding liquidating
distributions, reference is made to Item 7. "Liquidity and Capital Resources"
section.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Liquidation
In October 1997, the Managing General Partner informed the limited
partners of a proposal to sell all the Partnership's nonoperating interests in
properties and dissolve and liquidate the Partnership. The special meeting of
Limited Partners was held on November 25, 1997. Since a quorum was not reached,
the meeting was adjourned and subsequently held on December 9, 1997.
Of the total units held by the limited partners, a majority voted for
adoption of the proposal for sales of substantially all of the assets of the
Partnership and the dissolution, winding up and termination of the Partnership.
The Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for the period
subsequent to November 30, 1997.
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 and during liquidation from the sale of the ownership of nonoperating
interests in oil and gas properties. Net cash provided by (used in) operating
activities totaled $53,526, $(103,125) and $90,798 in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Cash provided by property sales proceeds totaled $228,473,
$308,670 and $510 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.The Partnership has
expended all of the partner's 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. Capital expenditures in 1997, 1996 and 1995 totaled $0, $55,304 and
$30,476, respectively. Cash distributions to partners totaled $104,366, $110,267
and $60,751 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
After sale of all its nonoperating interests in properties and
settlement of its liabilities, the Partnership's assets will consist solely of
cash, which it will distribute to its partners in complete liquidation. The
Partnership will not realize gain or loss upon such distribution of cash to its
partners in liquidation.

Results of Operations
As a result of the limited partners' approval of the liquidation of the
Partnership, the Partnership has changed its basis of accounting, effective
December 1, 1997, from the historical cost basis to the liquidation basis.
During the process of liquidating the Partnership, the Partnership continued its
operations which primarily consisted of the production and sale of oil and gas
from producing properties. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the
Partnership's financial results from these operations are included in the
Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the period from December 1, 1997 to
December 31, 1997. The Partnership's results from its oil and gas operations
presented herein are on a combined basis for the 1997 periods prior to and
subsequent to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting.
Income from nonoperating interests decreased 37 percent in 1997 over
1996. Oil and gas sales decreased 36 percent in 1997 vs. 1996. Production
volumes decreased 42 percent due to a 39 percent gas production decrease and a
62 percent oil production decline. The decrease in production, primarily due to
the sale of oil and gas assets as a part of the liquidation process, had a major
impact on partnership performance. An increase in the 1997 gas prices of 16
percent or $.33/MCF partially offset the production declines.
Income from nonoperating interests increased 48 percent in 1996 over
1995. Oil and gas sales increased 9 percent in 1996 vs. 1995. Increases in both
1996 gas and oil prices were major contributors to the increased revenues. The
Partnership experienced an increase in gas prices of 39 percent or $.56/MCF and
an increase in oil prices of 22 percent or $3.31/BBL. Production volumes
decreased 14 percent due to a 41 percent oil production decrease and a 7 percent
gas production decline. The partnership's sale of several low value properties
had an impact on partnership performance. The production declines partially
offset the effect of increased oil and gas prices impacting partnership
performance.
Two components, the normal provision, calculated on the units of
production method, and the additional provision, relating to the ceiling
limitation, make up total amortization expense. Total amortization expense for
1996 decreased 63 percent or $245,479 when compared to 1995. Normal amortization
expense increased 2 percent or $2,588 in 1996 when compared to 1995.
The Partnership recorded an additional provision in amortization in
1995 of $248,067 when the present value, discounted at ten percent, of estimated
future net revenues from oil and gas properties, using the guidelines of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, was below the fair market value paid for oil
and gas properties resulting in a full cost ceiling impairment.
From January 1, 1998 until the date the Partnership is liquidated, the
Partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the limited and general
partners in a 90:10 ratio, based on the annualized rate of cash distributions by
the Partnership during a certain period prior to December 31, 1997.

From time to time, Swift as Managing General Partner of the Partnership
purchases Units in the Partnership from investors who offer the Units pursuant
to their right of presentment, which purchases are made pursuant to terms set
out in the Partnership's original Limited Partnership Agreement. Due to the
frequency and large number of these transactions, Swift reports these
transactions under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on an
annual rather than a monthly basis. In some cases such annual reporting may
constitute a late filing of the required Section 16 reports under the applicable
Section 16 rules.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
As noted in Item 10, "Directors and Executive Officers of the
Registrant," above, the Partnership has no executive officers. The executive
officers of Swift and VJM are not compensated by the Partnership.
Certain fees and allowances contemplated by the Limited Partnership
Agreement have been paid by the Partnership to Swift and VJM. See Note (4) in
Notes To Financial Statements (Related-Party Transactions) for further
discussion.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
No single limited partner is known to the Partnership to be the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Partnership's Units.
Swift and VJM are not aware of any arrangement, the operation of which
may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Partnership.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
As noted in Item 10, "Directors and Executive Officers of the
Registrant," above, the Partnership has no executive officers or directors, and
thus has not engaged in any transactions in which any such person had an
interest. The Partnership is permitted to engage in certain transactions with
Swift as Managing General Partner and VJM as Special General Partner, subject to
extensive guidelines and restrictions as described in the "Conflicts of
Interest" section of the Amended Prospectus contained in the Registration
Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Summarized below are the principal transactions that have occurred
between the Partnership, on one hand, and Swift, VJM and their affiliates, on
the other.
Certain Transactions with General Partners
1. As described in Item 1, "Business," above, during 1990 the
Partnership entered into an NP/OR Agreement with the Operating Partnership,
which is also managed by Swift and VJM. Pursuant to such NP/OR Agreement, the
Operating Partnership acquired the oil and gas properties described under Item 2
above and conveyed nonoperating interests therein to the Partnership.
2. Swift acts as operator for many of the wells in which the
Partnership has nonoperating interests and has received compensation for such
activities in accordance with standard industry operating agreements.
3. The Partnership paid to Swift and VJM certain fees as contemplated
by the Limited Partnership Agreement. See Note (4) in Notes To Financial
Statements (Related-Party Transactions) for further discussion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets Partnership 1990-C, Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Swift Energy Managed
Pension Assets Partnership 1990-C, Ltd., (a Texas limited partnership) as of
December 31, 1996, the related statements of operations, partners' capital and
cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997 to November 30, 1997 and the
statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995. In addition, we have audited the statement of net
assets in process of liquidation as of December 31, 1997, and the related
statement of changes in net assets in process of liquidation for the period from
December 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Managing General Partner's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the limited
partners of Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets Partnership 1990-C, Ltd.
approved a plan of liquidation on December 9, 1997 and the Partnership commenced
liquidation shortly thereafter. As a result, the Partnership has changed its
basis of accounting for periods subsequent to November 30, 1997, from the
historical cost basis to the liquidation basis. Accordingly, the carrying value
of the remaining assets as of December 31, 1997, are presented at estimated
realizable values and all liabilities are presented at estimated settlement
amounts.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Swift Energy Managed
Pension Assets Partnership 1990-C, Ltd., as of December 31, 1996, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997
to November 30, 1997 and for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, its net
assets in process of liquidation as of December 31, 1997, and the changes in its
net assets in process of liquidation for the period from December 1, 1997 to
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on the bases described in the preceding paragraph.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, it is not presently
determinable whether the amounts realizable from the disposition of the
remaining assets or the amounts that creditors agree to accept in settlement of
the obligations due them will differ materially from the amounts shown in the
accompanying financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SWIFT ENERGY MANAGED PENSION ASSETS PARTNERSHIP 1990-C, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Organization and Terms of Partnership Agreement -
Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets Partnership 1990-C, Ltd., a Texas
limited partnership ("the Partnership"), was formed on September 30, 1990, for
the purpose of purchasing net profits interests, overriding royalty interests
and royalty interests (collectively, "nonoperating interests") in 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 425 limited partners made
total capital contributions of $3,654,622.
The limited partners of the Partnership approved the dissolution of the
Partnership on December 9, 1997. As a result, the Partnership has changed its
basis of accounting, effective December 1, 1997, from the historical cost basis
to the liquidation basis. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the
Partnership's assets at December 31, 1997 are reported at estimated net
realizable value, and the Partnership's liabilities are presented at estimated
settlement amounts. The net effect of the revaluation of the Partnership's
assets and liabilities due to the adoption of the liquidation basis of
accounting was an upward adjustment of $550,025.
Oil and gas properties at December 31, 1997 reflect the Managing
General Partner's estimate of value, in the absence of third party appraisals or
evaluations, based on future net revenues of the properties, discounted at 10%,
as of December 31, 1997. This estimate is based on its assessment of the impact
of selling existing assets based on current market conditions and estimated
disposal costs. The net proceeds from the sales of oil and gas properties may
vary substantially due to changes in oil and gas prices, subsequent production
and other factors which may be applied by buyers.
For all other assets and liabilities presented on the liquidation basis
of accounting, the Managing General Partner believes that historical cost
approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such assets and
liabilities.
The accompanying statements of operations, partners' capital and cash
flows for the period from January 1, 1997 through November 30, 1997 were
prepared using the historical cost basis of accounting.
(2) 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.
Nonoperating Interests in 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 statements.
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership follows the
"full-cost" method of accounting for nonoperating interests in oil and gas
properties. Under this method of accounting, all costs incurred in the
acquisition of nonoperating interests in oil and gas properties are capitalized.
The unamortized cost of nonoperating interests in 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
nonoperating interests in proved properties using current prices, discounted at
ten percent. Proceeds from the sale or disposition of nonoperating interests in
oil and gas properties are treated as a reduction of the cost of the
nonoperating interests with no gains or losses recognized except in significant
transactions.
IV-10
<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY MANAGED PENSION ASSETS PARTNERSHIP 1990-C, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Partnership computes the provision for amortization of nonoperating
interests in oil and gas properties on the units-of-production method. Under
this method, the provision is calculated by multiplying the total unamortized
cost of nonoperating interests in oil and gas properties by an overall rate
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 attributable
to the Partnership's nonoperating interests at the beginning of the period.
The calculation of the "ceiling limitation" and the provision for
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents --
Highly liquid debt instruments with an initial maturity of three months
or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Reclassifications --
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year balances to
conform with the current year presentation.
(3) Acquisition of Nonoperating Interests in Oil and Gas Property Costs -
Effective September 30, 1990, the Partnership entered into a Net
Profits and Overriding Royalty Interests Agreement "NP/OR Agreement") with Swift
Energy Income Partners 1990-C, Ltd. ("Operating Partnership"), managed by Swift,
for the purpose of acquiring interests in producing oil and gas properties.
Under the terms of the NP/OR Agreement, the Partnership has been conveyed 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, as defined. Property
acquisition costs are amounts actually paid by the Operating Partnership for the
properties plus costs incurred by the Operating Partnership in acquiring the
properties and costs related to screening and evaluation of properties not
acquired. In 1996 and 1995, the Partnership acquired nonoperating interests in
producing oil and gas properties for $55,304 and $30,476, respectively.
During 1995, the Partnership's unamortized oil and gas property costs
exceeded the quarterly calculations of the "ceiling limitation" resulting in an
additional provision for amortization of $248,067. In addition, the limited
partners' share of unamortized oil and gas property costs exceeded their
"ceiling limitation" in 1995, resulting in a valuation allowance of $219,757.
This amount is included in the income (loss) attributable to the limited
partners shown in the statement of partners' capital together with a "combining
adjustment" for the difference between the limited partners' valuation allowance
and the Partnership's full cost ceiling write down. The "combining adjustment"
changes quarterly as the Partnership's total amortization provision is more or
less than the combined amortization provision attributable to the general and
limited partners.
(4) Related-Party Transactions -
An affiliate of the Special General Partner, as Dealer Manager,
received $91,366 for managing and overseeing the offering of limited partnership
units.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(5) Federal Income Taxes -
The Partnership is not a tax-paying entity. No provision is made in the
accounts of the Partnership for federal or state income taxes, since such taxes
are liabilities of the individual partners, and the amounts thereof depend upon
their respective tax situations.
The tax returns and the amount of distributable Partnership income are
subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities. If the
Partnership's royalty income for federal income tax purposes is ultimately
changed by the taxing authorities, the tax liability of the limited partners
could be changed accordingly. Royalty income reported on the Partnership's
federal return of income for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
was $(104,067), $309,574 and $115,520, respectively. The difference between
royalty income for federal income tax purposes reported by the Partnership and
income or loss from nonoperating interests reported herein primarily results
from the exclusion of amortization (as described below) from ordinary income
reported in the Partnership's federal return of income.
For federal income tax purposes, amortization with respect to
nonoperating interests in oil and gas properties is computed separately by the
partners and not by the Partnership. Since the amount of amortization on
nonoperating interests in oil and gas is not computed at the Partnership level,
amortization is not included in the Partnership's income for federal income tax
purposes but is charged directly to the partners' capital accounts to the extent
of the cost of the nonoperating interests in oil and gas properties, and thus is
treated as a separate item on the partners' Schedule K-1. Amortization for
federal income tax purposes may vary from that computed for financial reporting
purposes in cases where a ceiling adjustment is recorded, as such amount is not
recognized for tax purposes.
(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.
