                         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 1993-B, Ltd., a Texas limited
         partnership (the Partnership), was formed on June 30, 1993, 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 576 Interest Holders made total
         capital contributions of $6,237,102.

                 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 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
         partner, 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.





                                       6

                   SWIFT ENERGY PENSION PARTNERS 1993-B, LTD.
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                  (UNAUDITED)


                 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 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 1993-B, 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 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 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 partner 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 Holder's 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 June 30, 1996 (current quarter) when compared
to the quarter ended June 30, 1995 (corresponding quarter), and for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 (current period), when compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1995 (corresponding period).

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

     Income from nonoperating interests increased 65 percent in the current
quarter of 1996 when compared to the second quarter in 1995.  Oil and gas sales
increased $20,111 or 10 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 71 percent or $1.00/MCF and in oil prices
of 19 percent or $3.12/BBL had a significant impact on partnership performance.
Current quarter oil and gas production decreased 29 percent and 12 percent,
respectively, when compared to second quarter 1995 production volumes,
partially offsetting the effect of increased gas and oil prices.

      Associated amortization expense decreased 2 percent or $2,329.

      The Partnership recorded an additional provision in amortization in the
second quarter of 1995 for $6,744 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.

                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)



SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

     Income from nonoperating interests increased 18 percent in the current
period of 1996 when compared to the corresponding period in 1995.  However, oil
and gas sales decreased $18,819 or 4 percent in the first six months of 1996
over the corresponding period in 1995, primarily due to decreased gas and oil
production.  A decline of 35 percent in gas production and 19 percent in oil
production had a significant impact on partnership performance.  Current period
gas and oil prices increased 54 percent or $.81/MCF and 14 percent or
$2.26/BBL, respectively, partially offsetting the revenue declines.

     Associated amortization expense decreased 19 percent or $51,048.

     The Partnership recorded an additional provision in amortization in the
first six months of 1995 for $6,744 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.
