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, 1996 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 Operating Partners 1992-B, Ltd., a Texas limited
partnership ("the Partnership"), was formed on June 30, 1992, for the
purpose of purchasing and operating 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 585 Interest Holders made total capital
contributions of $8,631,378.
Generally, all continuing costs (including development costs,
operating costs, 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,
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.
Oil and Gas Properties --
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 six months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996.

<PAGE>
SWIFT ENERGY OPERATING PARTNERS 1992-B, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
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 -
Effective June 30, 1992, the Partnership entered into a Net
Profits and Overriding Royalty Interest Agreement ("NP/OR Agreement")
with Swift Energy Pension Partners 1992-B, Ltd. ("Pension Partnership"),
an affiliated partnership managed by Swift for the purpose of acquiring
nonoperating interests in producing oil and gas properties. Under the
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 the Pension Partnership's proportionate share of the
property acquisition costs.
(5) Gas Imbalances -
The gas imbalance receivable and deferred revenues are
accounted for on the entitlements method, whereby the Partnership
records its share of revenue, based on its entitled amount. Any amounts
over or under the entitled amount are recorded as an increase or
decrease to the gas imbalance receivable or deferred revenues as
applicable.
(6) 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.

SWIFT ENERGY OPERATING PARTNERS 1992-B, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
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.
(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.

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 and Canada. 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 Interest Holder 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 Interest Holders 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
The Partnership has expended all of the Interest Holders' commitments
available for property acquisitions by acquiring 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, 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 June 30, 1997 (current quarter) when compared
to the quarter ended June 30, 1996 (corresponding quarter), and for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 (current period), when compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1996 (corresponding period).
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Oil and gas sales declined $221,632 or 46 percent in the second quarter of
1997 when compared to the corresponding quarter in 1996, primarily due to
decreased gas and oil production. A decline of 28 percent in gas production and
31 percent in oil production had a significant impact on partnership
performance. Also, current quarter gas prices declined 17 percent or $.36/MCF
when compared to second quarter 1996 gas prices, further contributing to
decreased revenues.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 33 percent or $53,779.

SWIFT ENERGY OPERATING PARTNERS 1992-B, LTD.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Oil and gas sales decreased $101,381 or 11 percent in the first six months
of 1997 over the corresponding period in 1996. A decline of 32 percent in oil
production and 5 percent in gas production were major contributing factors to
the decreased revenues for the period. Increased gas prices of 6 percent or
$.12/MCF partially offset the production declines.
Associated depreciation expense declined 21 percent or $69,274.
During 1997, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
Interest Holders and general partners in an 85:15 ratio.
