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 Pension Partners 1995-A, Ltd., a Texas limited
partnership ("the Partnership"), was formed on April 28, 1995, 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 307 Interest Holders made total capital
contributions of $3,319,041.
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. Certain reclassifications have been
made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
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.

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 1995-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 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 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.
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 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
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 approximately 74 percent 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
Income from nonoperating interests increased 9 percent in the first quarter
of 1997 when compared to the same quarter in 1996. Oil and gas sales increased
$21,400 or 13 percent in the first quarter of 1997 when compared to the same
period in 1996, primarily due to increased oil and gas prices. An increase in
oil prices of 52 percent or $7.13/BBL and in gas prices of 5 percent or $.17/MCF
had a significant impact on partnership performance. Also, first quarter gas
volumes increased 14 percent further contributing to the increased revenues.
Current quarter oil production declined 32 percent when compared to first
quarter 1996 production volumes, partially offsetting the effect of increased
gas and oil prices.
Associated amortization expense decreased 18 percent or $10,065.
The Partnership recorded an additional provision in depreciation,
depletion and amortization in the first quarter of 1997 for $362,569 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. Using prices in effect at March 31, 1997,
the Partnership would have recorded an additional provision at March 31, 1997 in
the amount of $670,327.
During 1997, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
Interest Holders and general partners in an 85:15 ratio.
