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, 1995 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 Pension Partners 1992-A, Ltd., a Texas limited
partnership (the Partnership), was formed on March 31, 1992, for the
purpose of purchasing net profits interest, overriding royalty interests
and royalty interests (collectively, "nonoperating interests") in
producing oil and gas properties within the continental United States
and Canada. 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 sole limited partner of the Partnership is Swift Depositary Company,
which has assigned all of its beneficial (but not of record) rights and
interest as limited partner to the investors in the Partnership
("Interest Holders"), in the form of Swift Depositary Interests
("SDIs").
The Managing General Partner has paid or will pay out of its
own corporate funds (as a capital contribution to the Partnership) all
selling commissions, offering expenses, printing, legal and accounting
fees and other formation costs incurred in connection with the offering
of SDIs and the formation of the Partnership, for which the Managing
General Partner will receive an interest in continuing costs and
revenues of the Partnership. The 422 Interest Holders made total capital
contributions of $4,172,824.
Generally, all continuing costs (including general and
administrative reimbursements and direct expenses) and revenues are
allocated 85 percent to the Interest Holders and 15 percent to the
general partners. After partnership payout, as defined in the
Partnership Agreement, continuing costs and revenues will be shared 75
percent by the Interest Holders, and 25 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.
Nonoperating Interests in Oil and Gas Properties --
For financial reporting purposes the Partnership follows the
"full-cost" method of accounting for nonoperating interests in oil and
gas property costs. 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.

SWIFT ENERGY PENSION PARTNERS 1992-A, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
The Partnership computes the provision for 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 by an overall rate determined by dividing the
physical units of oil and gas produced during the period by the total
estimated 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 -
The Partnership entered into a Net Profits and Overriding
Royalty Interest Agreement ("NP/OR Agreement") with Swift Energy
Operating Partners 1992-A, Ltd. (Operating Partnership), an affiliated
partnership managed by Swift for the purpose of acquiring working
interests in producing oil and gas properties. Under the terms of the
NP/OR Agreement, the Operating Partnership will convey to the
Partnership nonoperating interests in the aggregate net profits (i.e.,
oil and gas sales net of related operating costs) of the properties
acquired equal to the Partnership's proportionate share of the property
acquisition costs.
(5) Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations -
The Company'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.
The Partnership extends credit 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.
(6) 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of investing in nonoperating
interests in producing oil and gas properties located with the continental
United States and Canada. In order to accomplish this, the Partnership goes
through two distinct yet overlapping phases with respect to its liquidity and
results of operations. When the Partnership was formed, it commenced its
"acquisition" phase, with all funds placed in short-term investments until
required for the acquisition of nonoperating interests. Therefore, the interest
earned on these pre-acquisition investments becomes the primary cash flow source
for initial Interest Holder distributions. As the Partnership acquires
nonoperating interests in producing properties, net cash from ownership of
nonoperating interests becomes available for distribution, along with the
investment income. After all partnership funds have been expended on
nonoperating interests in producing oil and gas properties, the Partnership
enters its "operations" phase. During this phase, income from nonoperating
interests in oil and gas sales generates substantially all revenues, and
distributions to Interest Holders reflect those revenues less all associated
partnership expenses. The Partnership may also derive proceeds from the sale of
nonoperating interests in acquired oil and gas properties, when the sale of such
interests is economically appropriate or preferable to continued operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership has expended all of the Interest Holders' commitments
available for property acquisitions by acquiring nonoperating interests in
producing oil and gas properties.
The Partnership does not allow for additional assessments from the
partners or Interest Holders to fund capital requirements. However, funds are
available from partnership revenues 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, 1996 (current quarter) when
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995 (corresponding quarter), and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 (current period), when compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 (corresponding period).
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
Income from nonoperating interests increased 85 percent in the current
quarter of 1996 when compared to the third quarter in 1995. Oil and gas sales
increased $82,886 or 60 percent in the current quarter of 1996 when compared to
the corresponding quarter in 1995, primarily due to increased gas and oil
prices. An increase in gas prices of 84 percent or $1.08/MCF and in oil prices
of 88 percent or $9.84/BBL had a significant impact on partnership performance.
Also, current quarter oil production decreased 39 percent when compared to third
quarter 1995 production volumes, partially offsetting the effect of increased
gas and oil prices.
Associated amortization expense increased 4 percent or $2,882.
The Partnership recorded an additional provision in amortization in the
third quarter of 1995 for $95,984 when the present value, discounted at ten
percent, of estimated future net revenues from oil and gas properties based on
the prices in effect at the filing date, using the guidelines of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, was below the fair market value originally paid for oil
and gas properties. The additional provision results from the Managing General
Partner's determination that the fair market value paid for properties may or
may not coincide with reserve valuations determined according to guidelines of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
Income from nonoperating interests increased 48 percent in the current
period of 1996 when compared to the corresponding period in 1995. Oil and gas
sales increased $125,458 or 25 percent in the first nine months of 1996 over the
corresponding period in 1995. An increase in gas prices of 63 percent or
$.85/MCF and in oil prices of 42 percent or $5.01/BBL were major contributing
factors to the increased revenues for the period. Also, current period oil
production decreased 38 percent when compared to the corresponding period in
1995, partially offsetting the effect of increased gas and oil prices.
Associated amortization expense decreased a slight 1 percent or $1,351.
The Partnership recorded an additional provision in amortization in the
first nine months of 1995 for $329,088 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 originally paid for oil and gas properties. The additional provision
results from the Managing General Partner's determination that the fair market
value paid for properties may or may not coincide with reserve valuations
determined according to guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
During 1996, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
Interest Holders and general partners in an 85:15 ratio.
