                                     PART I


Item 1.      Description of Business

General

             Enex  90-91  Income  and  Retirement  Fund - Series  3,  L.P.  (the
"Company")  was formed  under the New Jersey  Uniform  Limited  Partnership  Act
(1976) on February  22, 1990 and  commenced  operations  on October 4, 1991 with
aggregate subscriptions of $1,087,545, $1,076,670 of which was received from 250
limited  partners,   including   investors  whose   distributions  from  earlier
partnerships   sponsored  by  the  Company's  general  partner,  Enex  Resources
Corporation ("Enex") were automatically invested in the Company.

             The  Company  is engaged in the oil and gas  business  through  the
ownership  of   non-operating   interests  in  producing   oil   properties.   A
non-operating  interest  typically  entitles  the holder to receive a  specified
share  of such  production,  without  obligation  to  develop  or  operate  such
property,  or bear any  development or operating costs (such  obligations  being
assumed by the owner of the working interest in the property).

                  The Company's non-operating interests are net profit royalties
or  other  royalty  interests  which  entitle  the  Company  to a share of gross
revenues  from  producing  oil  and  gas  properties  measured  by  a  specified
percentage of the net profits  realized by the owners of the underlying  working
interests in such properties,  after deducting  operating costs,  geological and
engineering  costs,  property,  severance  and other  taxes,  and certain  other
specified  expenses.  If such taxes,  operating  costs or other expenses  exceed
gross revenues in any specified  measuring  period, a net profits royalty holder
will not be liable for payment of any portion of such  excess,  but a percentage
of such excess equal to the specified  percentage of net profits  (together with
interest  thereon)  will be carried over to  subsequent  periods and will reduce
future amounts accruing to the holder.  The Company's net profits  royalties and
other  non-operating  interests are generally  derived from working interests in
oil and gas properties owned by other affiliates of Enex.

             The  Company  does not own  working  interests  nor does it  engage
directly in any drilling,  completing or operating  activities,  but may benefit
from such  activities  undertaken  by the  owners of the  working  interests  in
properties  burdened by the  Company's  non-operating  interests.  The Company's
operations are concentrated in a single industry segment.

             The  principal  executive  office of the Company is  maintained  at
Suite 200, Three Kingwood Place, Kingwood,  Texas 77339. The telephone number at
this office is (713) 358-8401. The Company has no regional offices.

     The Company has no employees.  On March 1, 1997, Enex and its  subsidiaries
employed 23 persons.

Marketing

             The  marketing  of oil  produced  by the  Company is  affected by a
number of factors  which are beyond the Company's  control,  the exact nature of
which cannot be accurately  predicted.  These  factors  include the quantity and
price of crude oil imports,  fluctuating  supply and demand,  pipeline and other
transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels, state and federal
regulation of oil production and  distribution  and other matters  affecting the
availability of a ready market. All of these factors are extremely volatile.

             Enron Oil Trading &  Transportation  Company  accounted for 100% of
the Company's oil sales in both 1996 and 1995.  Although the Company  marketed a
significant   portion  of  its  sales  to  the  above  noted  company,   such  a
concentration  does not pose a significant  risk due to the commodity  nature of
the Company's products.

Environmental and Conservation Regulation

             State  regulatory  authorities  in the states in which the  Company
owns net profits  interests in producing  properties  are  empowered to make and
enforce  regulations to prevent waste of oil and to protect  correlative  rights
and opportunities to produce oil for owners of a common reservoir.  Each of such
regulatory  authorities  also  regulates the amount of oil produced by assigning
allowable rates of production, which may be increased or decreased in accordance
with supply and demand.  Requirements  regarding the  prevention and clean-up of
pollution and similar environmental  matters are also generally applicable.  The
costs, if any, that may be incurred in this regard cannot be predicted.

             The existence of such  regulations  has not had a material  adverse
effects on the Company's  operations to date, and the cost of compliance has not
yet been material.  There are no material administrative or judicial proceedings
arising under such laws or regulations pending against the Company.  The Company
is unable to assess or predict the impact that compliance with environmental and
pollution  control  laws  and  regulations  may have on its  future  operations,
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Tax Laws

             The  operations  of the Company are affected by the federal  income
tax laws  contained  in the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended  (the
"Code").  In general,  the limited  partners of the Company will generate income
from the receipt of royalties and net profits  interests and will be entitled to
a depletion  deduction.  Net income,  if any, will generally be characterized as
portfolio  income  under  the Code and  will be  taxed  in the  same  manner  as
dividends and interest.

             Partnerships with interests that are "publicly traded" are taxed as
corporations unless at least 90% of their income is "qualifying income." Passive
income  or  loss  from  publicly  traded  partnerships  that  are not  taxed  as
corporations  generally  cannot be applied  against  passive income or loss from
other  sources.  As  stated  in  Item  5 of  this  Annual  Report,  there  is no
established  public  trading  market  for  the  Company's  limited   partnership
interests.  In addition,  the Company derives more than 90% of its income within
the meaning of section 7704(d) of the Code. Therefore, the Company should not be
affected by the publicly traded partnership rules.

Item 2.      Description of Property

             Presented below is a summary of the Company's property acquisition.

             CHARLOTTE  acquisition.  Net profits royalty  interests in 11 wells
located in Atascosa County,  Texas were purchased for $965,174 effective January
1, 1992 and March 1, 1992.  The Charlotte  acquisition  is operated by HCM Corp.
The  Company  owns a 39.5%  net  profits  royalty  interest  in the wells in the
Charlotte acquisition at December 31, 1996.

             Purchase  price as used above is  defined  as the  actual  contract
price plus finder's  fees, if  applicable.  Miscellaneous  expenses,  subsequent
capital additions, etc. are not included.

Oil Reserves

             For quantitative  information regarding the Company's oil reserves,
please see  Supplementary  Oil  Information  and related tables which follow the
Notes to  Financial  Statements  in Item 7 of this  report.  The Company has not
filed any current oil  reserve  estimates  or  included  any such  estimates  in
reports to any federal or foreign  governmental  authority or agency,  including
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

             Proved  oil  reserves  reported  herein  are  based on  engineering
reports prepared by the petroleum engineering  consulting firm of H. J. Gruy and
Associates,  Inc. The reserves  included in this report are  estimates  only and
should  not be  construed  as exact  quantities.  Future  conditions  may affect
recovery of estimated  reserves and revenue,  and all reserves may be subject to
revision as more performance data become available.  The proved reserves used in
this report conform to the applicable definitions  promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  No major discovery or other favorable or adverse event
that  could  potentially  cause a  significant  change in the  estimated  proved
reserves has occurred since December 31, 1996.

Net Oil Production

             The following table shows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, the  approximate  production  attributable to the Company's oil interests.
The figures in the table represent "net production";  i.e.,  production owned by
the  Company and  produced to its  interest  after  deducting  royalty and other
similar interests. All production occurred in the United States.

                                                     1996               1995

Crude oil and condensate (Bbls)                       29,711            30,330

             The following  table sets forth the  Company's  average sales price
per barrel of oil for the years ended  December  31, 1996 and 1995.  The average
prices are lower than the  average  market  prices for oil as they are  computed
using the net  revenues  received  from the  Company's  ownership  of net profit
royalty interests.

          The  Company  made cash  distributions  to partners of $69 and $52 per
$500  investment  in  1996  and  1995,  respectively.   The  payment  of  future
distributions  will  depend  on the  Company's  earnings,  financial  condition,
working capital requirements and other factors,  although it is anticipated that
regular quarterly distributions will continue through 1997.

Item 6.     Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations

            This  discussion  should be read in  conjunction  with the financial
statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in this Form 10-KSB.

            Oil sales  increased to $261,484 in 1996 from $161,018 in 1995. This
represents  an increase  of  $100,466 or 62%. A 66%  increase in the average net
sales price increased  revenues by $103,753.  This increase was partially offset
by a 2% decrease in  production.  The decrease in  production  was primarily the
result of natural  production  declines.  The  increase in the average net sales
price corresponds with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil.

            Depletion expense decreased to $60,898 in 1996 from $78,402 in 1995.
This  represents a decrease of $17,504 or 22%. The changes in production,  noted
above, reduced depletion expense by $1,597. A 21% decrease in the depletion rate
reduced  depletion  expense  by an  additional  $15,907.  The  decrease  in  the
depletion  rate was due  primarily to an upward  revision of the oil reserves in
December 1996.

            General and  administrative  expenses  increased  to $41,954 in 1996
from $28,603 in 1995.  This increase of $13,351 or 47% was primarily due to more
staff time being required to manage the Company's operations.


Capital Resources and Liquidity


            Cash flow from  operations  is a direct  result of the amount of the
net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production.  Accordingly, the
change in cash flow from 1995 to 1996 was  primarily  due to the  changes in oil
sales, as described above. It is the general  partner's  intention to distribute
substantially  all  of  the  Company's  available  net  cash  flow  provided  by
operating, financing and investing activities to the Company's partners.

            The Company will continue to recover its reserves and  distribute to
the partners the net proceeds  realized  from the sale of oil  production  after
payment of its debt  obligations.  The Company plans to repay the amount owed to
the general  partner in 1997.  Distributions  increased from 1995 to 1996 due to
the higher revenues received in 1996, as noted above.  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.

We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheet  of Enex  90-91  Income  and
Retirement  Fund - Series 3,  L.P.  (a New  Jersey  limited  partnership)  as of
December 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations,  change in partners'
capital,  and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended  December
31, 1996.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the general
partner  of  Enex  90-91  Income  and  Retirement  Fund -  Series  3,  L.P.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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.

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the  financial  position of Enex 90-91 Income and  Retirement  Fund -
Series 3, L.P. at December  31, 1996 and the results of its  operations  and its

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1.           PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION

             Enex  90-91  Income  and  Retirement  Fund - Series  3,  L.P.  (the
             "Company"), a New Jersey limited partnership,  commenced operations
             on  October  4, 1991 for the  purpose  of  acquiring  non-operating
             interests  in  producing  oil  properties.  Total  limited  partner
             contributions were $1,087,545,  of which $10,875 was contributed by
             Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex"), the general partner.

             In  accordance  with the  partnership  agreement,  the Company paid
             syndication  fees  and  due  diligence  expenses  of  $104,549  for
             solicited   subscriptions   to  Enex  Securities   Corporation,   a
             subsidiary of Enex, and reimbursed Enex for  organization  expenses
             of approximately $44,000.

             The Company owns only  non-operating  interests  in  producing  oil
             properties. Such interests typically entitle the Company to receive
             its pro rata share of net profits and royalties from the underlying
             properties without obligating the Company to develop or operate the
             properties or directly bear any share of  development  or operating
             costs.

             Information  relating  to the  allocation  of  costs  and  revenues
             between Enex, as general  partner,  and the limited  partners is as
             follows:
                                                                 Limited
                                                       Enex      Partners

             Commissions and selling expenses                      100%
             Company reimbursement of organization
               expense                                             100%
             Company property acquisition                          100%
             General and administrative costs           10%         90%
             Revenues from temporary investment
               of partnership capital                              100%
             Revenues from producing properties         10%         90%

             At the point in time  when the cash  distributions  to the  limited
             partners  equal  their  subscriptions  ("payout"),   revenues  from
             producing  properties and general and administrative  costs will be
             allocated  15% to  the  general  partner  and  85%  to the  limited
             partners.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

             Oil Properties - The Company used the successful  efforts method of
             accounting for its oil and gas  operations.  Capitalized  costs are
             amortized  on the units of  production  method  based on  estimated
             total proved reserves.  The acquisition costs of proved oil and gas
             properties are capitalized and

                                      II-8

             periodically assessed for impairments.

             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.

             Organization  Costs - Organization  costs are being  amortized on a
             straight-line basis over a five-year period.

             Cash Flows - The  Company  has  presented  its cash flows using the
             indirect method and considers all highly liquid investments with an
             original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

             General and  Administrative  Expenses - The Company  reimburses the
             General Partner for direct costs and administrative  costs incurred
             on its behalf.  Administrative  costs  allocated to the Company are
             computed  on a cost  basis in  accordance  with  standard  industry
             practices  by  allocating  the time spent by the General  Partner's
             personnel  among  all  projects  and by  allocating  rent and other
             overhead on the basis of the relative direct time charges.

             Uses of Estimates - The preparation of the 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  and  disclosure  of
             contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the  financial
             statements and the reported  amounts of revenue and expenses during
             the  reporting  periods.  Actual  results  could  differ from these
             estimates.

3.           FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

             General - The Company is not a taxable  entity for  federal  income
             tax purposes. Such taxes are liabilities of the individual partners
             and the  amounts  thereof  will vary  depending  on the  individual
             situation of each partner.  Accordingly,  there is no provision for
             income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

University  School of Law,  Atlanta,  Georgia in 1978.  Mr. Carl is a trustee of
Franklin & Marshall College and is a member of the State Bar of Georgia.

              On January 4, 1996, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States
District  Court for the District of Columbia  against Mr. Carl alleging that Mr.
Carl violated  Section 16(a) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934  ("Exchange
Act"), and Rule 16a-2 and 16a-3 (and former Rule 16a-1)  thereunder,  by failing
to timely file reports concerning  thirty-eight  securities  transactions in his
mother's brokerage  accounts involving shares of Health Images,  Inc. stock. The
SEC took the position that because Mr. Carl (1) provided substantial

                                      III-2

financial  support to his mother,  (2) commingled  his mother's  assets with his
own, (3) provided a substantial portion of the funds used to purchase the shares
in question, and (4) received from his mother a substantial portion of the sales
proceeds, he, therefore, had a pecuniary interest in, and was a beneficial owner
of, the shares in question.

              In response to the SEC's  action,  Mr.  Carl  disgorged  to Health
Images,  Inc.  approximately  $92,400 in short-swing profits from the trading in
his mother's account,  plus interest thereon of approximately  $52,600.  The SEC
further  requested the court to impose a $10,000 civil penalty  against Mr. Carl
pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.  Without  admitting or denying
the  allegations  in the  complaint,  Mr. Carl consented to the entry of a final
judgement  imposing the $10,000  penalty.  On January 12, 1996, a federal  judge
entered the final judgement in this matter, and Mr. Carl has since filed amended
reports on Forms 4 and 5 reflecting these transactions in his mother's accounts.

              In   relation  to  the  same   matter,   the  SEC  has  issued  an
administrative  Order  pursuant to Section 21C of the  Exchange  Act against Mr.
Carl,  finding  that he  violated  Section  16(a) and the rules  thereunder  and
requiring  him to cease and desist from  committing  or causing any violation or
future violation of those provisions.  Without admitting or denying  allegations
in the SEC's Order, Mr. Carl consented to the entry of the Order.
