GEODYNE ENERGY INCOME III LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-------------------
The balance sheets as of September 30, 1998, statements of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, and
statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997 have been prepared by Geodyne Resources, Inc., the General Partner of
the Partnerships (the "General Partner"), without audit. In the opinion of
management the financial statements referred to above include all
necessary adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, to
present fairly the financial position at September 30, 1998, the results
of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997.
Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnerships'
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
results of operations for the period ended September 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The Limited Partners' net income or loss per unit is based upon each $100
initial capital contribution.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
----------------------
The Partnerships follow the successful efforts method of accounting for
their oil and gas properties. Under the successful efforts method, the
Partnerships capitalize all property acquisition costs and development
costs incurred in connection with the further development of oil and gas
reserves. Property acquisition costs include costs incurred by the
Partnerships or the General Partner to acquire producing properties,
including related title insurance or examination costs, commissions,
engineering, legal and accounting fees, and similar costs directly related
to the acquisitions, plus an allocated portion, of the General Partner's
property screening costs. The acquisition cost to the Partnerships of
properties acquired by the General Partner is adjusted to reflect the net
cash results of
30
operations, including interest incurred to finance the acquisition, for
the period of time the properties are held by the General Partner prior to
their transfer to the Partnerships. Leasehold impairment is recognized
based upon an individual property assessment and exploratory experience.
Upon discovery of commercial reserves, leasehold costs are transferred to
producing properties.
Depletion of the costs of producing oil and gas properties, amortization
of related intangible drilling and development costs, and depreciation of
tangible lease and well equipment are computed on the unit-of-production
method. The Partnerships' depletion, depreciation, and amortization
includes estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of estimated
salvage value.
When complete units of depreciable property are retired or sold, the asset
cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated with any gain or
loss reflected in income. When less than complete units of depreciable
property are retired or sold, the difference between asset cost and
salvage value is charged to accumulated depreciation.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and Assets Held for Disposal",
requires successful efforts companies, like the Partnerships, to evaluate
the recoverability of the carrying costs of their proved oil and gas
properties at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows
that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of oil and
gas properties. With respect to the Partnerships' oil and gas properties,
this evaluation was performed for each field. SFAS No. 121, provides that
if the unamortized costs of oil and gas properties for each field exceed
the expected undiscounted future cash flows from such properties, the cost
of the properties is written down to fair value, which is determined by
using the discounted future cash flows from the properties. The
Partnerships recorded a non-cash charge against earnings (impairment
provision) during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 pursuant to
SFAS No. 121 as follows:
Partnership Amount
----------- -----------
III-A $1,617,006
III-B 738,122
III-C 1,696,417
III-D 932,243
III-E 2,893,438
III-F 2,884,405
III-G 1,449,404
No such charge was necessary for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
31
The risk that the Partnerships will be required to record such impairment
provisions in the future increases when oil and gas prices are depressed.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
---------------------------------
The Partnerships' partnership agreements provide for reimbursement to the
General Partner for all direct general and administrative expenses and for
the general and administrative overhead applicable to the Partnerships
based on an allocation of actual costs incurred. During the three months

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
- -----------------------------------------------
This Quarterly Report contains certain forward-looking statements. The
words "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "plan", "intend", "estimate",
"project", "could", "may" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management's current
views with respect to future events and financial performance. This
Quarterly Report also includes certain information, which is, or is based
upon, estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions are
management's efforts to accurately reflect the condition and operation of
the Partnerships.
Use of forward-looking statements and estimates and assumptions involve
risks and uncertainties which include, but are not limited to, the
volatility of oil and gas prices, the uncertainty of reserve information,
the operating risk associated with oil and gas properties (including the
risk of personal injury, death, property damage, damage to the well or
producing reservoir, environmental contamination, and other operating
risks), the prospect of changing tax and regulatory laws, the availability
and capacity of processing and transportation facilities, the general
economic climate, the supply and price of foreign imports of oil and gas,
the level of consumer product demand, and the price and availability of
alternative fuels. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
occur or should estimates or underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual conditions or results may vary materially and adversely from those
stated, anticipated, believed, estimated, and otherwise indicated.
GENERAL
- -------
The Partnerships are engaged in the business of acquiring and operating
producing oil and gas properties located in the continental United States.
In general, a Partnership acquired producing properties and did not engage
in development drilling or enhanced recovery projects, except as an
incidental part of the management of the producing properties acquired.
Therefore, the economic life of each Partnership is limited to the period
of time required to fully produce its acquired oil and gas reserves. The
net proceeds from the oil and gas operations are distributed to the
Limited Partners and the General Partner in accordance with the terms of
the Partnerships' partnership agreements.
33
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Partnerships began operations and investors were assigned their rights
as Limited Partners, having made capital contributions in the amounts and
on the dates set forth below:
Limited
Date of Partner Capital
Partnership Activation Contributions
----------- ------------------ ---------------
III-A November 21, 1989 $26,397,600
III-B January 24, 1990 13,833,600
III-C February 27, 1990 24,453,600
III-D September 5, 1990 13,100,800
III-E December 26, 1990 41,826,600
III-F March 7, 1991 22,148,400
III-G September 20, 1991 12,192,500
In general, the amount of funds available for acquisition of producing
properties was equal to the capital contributions of the Limited Partners,
less 15% for sales commissions and organization and management fees. All
of the Partnerships have fully invested their capital contributions.
Net proceeds from the operations less necessary operating capital are
distributed to the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis. Revenues and net
proceeds of a Partnership are largely dependent upon the volumes of oil
and gas sold and the prices received for such oil and gas. While the
General Partner cannot predict future pricing trends, it believes the
working capital available as of September 30, 1998 and the net revenue
generated from future operations will provide sufficient working capital
to meet current and future obligations.
The Partnerships' Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 include proceeds from the sale of oil and gas
properties. Proceeds received during the first quarter of 1998 were
included in the Partnerships' cash distributions paid in May 1998,
proceeds received during the second quarter of 1998 were included in the
Partnerships' cash distributions paid in August 1998, and proceeds
received during the third quarter of 1998 will be included in the
Partnerships' cash distributions to be paid in November 1998. It is
possible that the Partnerships' repurchase values and future cash
distributions could decline as a result of the disposition of these
properties. On the other hand, the General Partner believes there will be
beneficial operating efficiencies related to the Partnerships' remaining
properties. This is primarily due to the fact that the properties sold
generally bore a higher
34
ratio of operating expenses as compared to reserves than the
Partnerships' remaining properties.
The Partnerships will terminate on the following dates in accordance with
their partnership agreements.
Partnership Termination Date
----------- ----------------
III-A November 28, 1999
III-B January 24, 2000
III-C February 28, 2000
III-D September 5, 2000
III-E December 26, 2000
III-F March 7, 2001
III-G September 20, 2001
However, the partnership agreements provide that the General Partner may
extend the term of each Partnership for up to five periods of two years
each. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the General Partner has not
determined whether to extend the term of any Partnership.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
GENERAL DISCUSSION
The following general discussion should be read in conjunction with the
analysis of results of operations provided below. The most important
variable affecting the Partnerships' revenues is the prices received for
the sale of oil and gas. Predicting future prices is very difficult.
Substantially all of the Partnerships' gas reserves are being sold in the
"spot market". Prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and
regional pricing fluctuations due to the highly competitive nature of the
spot market. Such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature and
are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by
pipelines. In addition, crude oil prices are at or near their lowest level
in the past decade due primarily to the global surplus of crude oil.
Management is unable to predict whether future oil and gas prices will (i)
stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.

III-A PARTNERSHIP
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997.
Three Months Ended September 30,
--------------------------------
1998 1997
-------- --------
Oil and gas sales $428,407 $712,026
Oil and gas production expenses $140,153 $131,345
Barrels produced 7,908 9,074
Mcf produced 168,184 238,355
Average price/Bbl $ 11.93 $ 19.21
Average price/Mcf $ 1.99 $ 2.26
As shown in the above table, total oil and gas sales decreased $283,619
(39.8%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1997. Of this decrease, approximately
$158,000 was related to a decrease in volumes of gas sold and
approximately $58,000 and $45,000, respectively, were related to decreases
in the average prices of oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold
decreased 1,166 barrels and 70,171 Mcf, respectively, for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September
30, 1997. The decrease in volumes of oil sold resulted primarily from
positive prior period volume adjustments made by the purchaser on two
significant wells during the three months ended September 30, 1997. The
decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from normal declines in
production due to diminishing reserves on several wells and the sale of
several wells in 1997 and 1998. Average oil and gas prices decreased to
$11.93 per barrel and $1.99 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 from $19.21 per barrel and $2.26 per Mcf,
respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1997.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) increased $8,808 (6.7%) for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September 30,
1997. This increase resulted primarily from workover expenses incurred on
one well during the three months ended September 30, 1998 in order to
improve the recovery of reserves and positive ad valorem tax adjustments
on four wells during the three months ended September 30, 1998. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in production taxes associated
with the decrease in oil and gas sales. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, these expenses increased to 32.7% for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 from 18.4% for the three months ended September 30,
1997. This percentage increase was primarily due to the dollar increase
36
in production expenses and the decreases in the average prices of oil and
gas sold during the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1997.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $92,012 (44.7%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease
resulted primarily from (i) decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold
during the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and (ii) upward revisions in the estimates
of remaining oil and gas reserves at December 31, 1997. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 26.6% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 from 28.9% for the three months ended September
30, 1997. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the dollar
decrease in depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,289 (1.7%) for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 17.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from
10.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage
increase was primarily due to the decreases in oil and gas sales.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AS COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997.
Nine Months Ended September 30,
-------------------------------
1998 1997
---------- ----------
Oil and gas sales $1,573,580 $2,578,627
Oil and gas production expenses $ 439,744 $ 541,572
Barrels produced 27,025 30,701
Mcf produced 567,122 798,664
Average price/Bbl $ 13.01 $ 20.01
Average price/Mcf $ 2.15 $ 2.46
As shown in the above table, total oil and gas sales decreased $1,005,047
(39.0%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this decrease, approximately
$569,000 was related to a decrease in the volumes of gas sold and
approximately $189,000 and $173,000, respectively, were related to
decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and
gas sold decreased 3,676 barrels and 231,542 Mcf, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. The decrease in volumes of oil
37
sold resulted primarily from normal declines in production due to
diminishing reserves on several significant wells. The decrease in the
volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from normal declines in production
due to diminishing reserves on several wells and the sale of several wells
during 1997 and 1998. Average oil and gas prices decreased to $13.01 per
barrel and $2.15 per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from $20.01 per barrel and $2.46 per Mcf, respectively,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $101,828 (18.8%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in production taxes
associated with the decrease in oil and gas sales and a decrease in lease
operating expenses associated with the decreases in volumes of oil and gas
sold during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, these expenses increased to 27.9% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from 21.0% for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. This percentage increase was primarily due to the decreases in the
average prices of oil and gas sold during the nine months ended September
30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $305,989 (44.3%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease
resulted primarily from (i) the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold
during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and (ii) upward revisions in the estimates
of remaining oil and gas reserves at December 31, 1997. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 24.5% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 from 26.8% for the nine months ended September
30, 1997. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the upward
revisions in the estimates of remaining oil and gas reserves.
The III-A Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$1,617,006 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this
amount, $184,644 was related to the decline in oil and gas prices used to
determine the recoverability of proved oil and gas reserves at March 31,
1997 and $1,432,362 was related to impairment of unproved properties.
These unproved properties were written off based on the General Partner's
determination that it was unlikely that such properties would be developed
due to the low oil and gas prices received over the prior several years
38
and provisions in the III-A Partnerships' partnership agreement which
limit the level of permissible drilling activity. No similar charges were
necessary during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 15.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 9.3%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase was
primarily due to the decrease in oil and gas sales.
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through September
30, 1998 totaling $24,878,701 or 94.25% of Limited Partners' capital
contributions.
III-B PARTNERSHIP

Mcf produced 87,673 120,161
Average price/Bbl $ 12.54 $ 19.16
Average price/Mcf $ 1.93 $ 2.22
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales decreased $160,991
(37.6%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1997. Of this decrease, approximately
$11,000 and $72,000, respectively, were related to decreases in volumes of
oil and gas sold and approximately $52,000 and $26,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold. Volumes of
oil and gas sold decreased 557 barrels and 32,488 Mcf, respectively, for
the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in the volumes of gas sold resulted
primarily from (i) normal declines in production due to diminishing
reserves on several wells, (ii) the sale of several wells in 1997 and
1998, and (iii) the receipt of an increased percentage of sales during the
three months ended September 30, 1997 on one well due to an underproduced
gas balancing position in that well. Average oil and gas prices decreased
to $12.54 per barrel and $1.93 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 from $19.16 per barrel and
39
$2.22 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended September 30,
1997.
As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources above, the III-B
Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties during the three months
ended September 30, 1998 and recognized a $32,404 gain on such sales.
Similar sales during the three months ended September 30, 1997 resulted in
the III-B Partnership recognizing a loss totaling $159.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) increased $12,836 (15.1%) for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September 30,
1997. This increase resulted primarily from workover expenses incurred on
two wells during the three months ended September 30, 1998. This increase
was partially offset by a decrease in production taxes associated with the
decrease in oil and gas sales. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
expenses increased to 36.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1998
from 19.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage
increase was primarily due to the decreases in the average prices of oil
and gas sold for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1997 and the dollar increase in
production expenses.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $47,646 (40.1%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease
resulted primarily from (i) the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold
during the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and (ii) upward revisions in the estimates
of remaining oil and gas reserves at December 31, 1997. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 26.6% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 from 27.8% for the three months ended September
30, 1997.
General and administrative expenses increased $677 (1.7%) for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 14.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from 9.1%
for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase
was primarily due to the decrease in oil and gas sales.

The III-B Partnership achieved payout during the first quarter of 1998.
After payout, operations and revenues for the III-B Partnership have been
and will be allocated using after payout percentages. After payout
percentages allocate operating income and expenses 15% to the General
Partner and 85% to the Limited Partners. (Before payout, operating income
and expenses were allocated 5% to the General Partner and 95% to the
Limited Partners). See the Partnerships' Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1997 for further discussion of pre and post
payout allocations of income and expense.

As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales decreased $564,864
(37.1%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this decrease, approximately
$280,000 was related to a decrease in the volumes of gas sold and
approximately $174,000 and $88,000, respectively, were related to
decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and
gas sold decreased 1,170 barrels and 115,659 Mcf, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. The decrease in the volumes of gas sold resulted
primarily from the sale of several wells in 1997 and normal declines in
production due to diminishing reserves on several wells. Average oil and
gas prices decreased to $13.48 per barrel and $2.11 per Mcf, respectively,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $20.06 per barrel and

As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources above, the III-B
Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and recognized a $33,219 gain on such sales.
Similar sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 resulted in
the III-B Partnership recognizing a loss totaling $7,832.
41
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $46,291 (14.1%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) a decrease in production
taxes associated with the decrease in oil and gas sales, (ii) the sale of
several wells in 1997 and 1998, and (iii) the refund of prior period lease
operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 by the
operator of one well. These decreases were partially offset by workover
expenses incurred on one significant well during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 29.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 21.6%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase was
primarily due to the decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1997.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $160,148 (40.6%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease
resulted primarily from (i) the decrease in volumes of oil and gas sold
during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and (ii) upward revisions in the estimates
of remaining oil and gas reserves at December 31, 1997. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 24.5% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 from 25.9% for the nine months ended September
30, 1997.
The III-B Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$738,122 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this amount,
$77,653 was related to the decline in oil and gas prices used to determine
the recoverability of proved oil and gas reserves at March 31, 1997 and
$660,469 was related to the impairment of unproved properties. These
unproved properties were written off based on the General Partner's
determination that it was unlikely that such properties would be developed

Oil and gas sales $580,014 $633,934
Oil and gas production expenses $169,481 $148,845
Barrels produced 5,424 6,175
Mcf produced 307,257 263,504
Average price/Bbl $ 14.00 $ 19.01
Average price/Mcf $ 1.64 $ 1.96
As shown in the table above, oil and gas sales decreased $53,920 (8.5%)
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1997. Of this decrease, approximately $14,000
was related to a decrease in the volumes of oil sold and approximately
$27,000 and $98,000, respectively, were related to decreases in the
average prices of oil and gas sold. These decreases were partially offset
by an increase of approximately $86,000 related to an increase in the
volumes of gas sold. Volumes of oil sold decreased 751 barrels, while
volumes of gas sold increased 43,753 Mcf for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended
43
September 30, 1997. The decrease in volumes of oil sold resulted primarily
from normal declines in production due to diminishing reserves on several
wells. The increase in the volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from the
successful recompletion of one significant well during early 1998. Average
oil and gas prices decreased to $14.00 per barrel and $1.64 per Mcf,
respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $19.01
per barrel and $1.96 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 1997.
As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources above, the III-C
Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties during the three months
ended September 30, 1998 and recognized a $34,561 gain on such sales.
Similar sales during the three months ended September 30, 1997 resulted in
the III-C Partnership recognizing gains totaling $17,697.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) increased $20,636 (13.9%) for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September 30,
1997. This increase resulted primarily from (i) an increase in general
repair and maintenance expenses on several wells during the three months
ended September 30, 1998 and (ii) a non-recurring increase in compression
expenses on one significant well during the three months ended September
30, 1998. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased
to 29.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from 23.5% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase was
primarily due to the dollar increase in production expenses and decreases
in the average prices of oil and gas sold for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September 30,
1997.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $19,953 (11.3%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease
resulted primarily from upward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil
and gas reserves at December 31, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense remained relatively constant at 27.0% for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 and 27.9% for three months ended September
30, 1997.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,204 (1.8%) for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 12.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from

As shown in the table above, oil and gas sales decreased $419,850 (18.8%)
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. Of this decrease, approximately $106,000
and $292,000, respectively, were related to decreases in the average
prices of oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil sold decreased 1,139 barrels
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine

September 30, 1998 from $20.22 per barrel and $2.19 per Mcf, respectively,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources above, the III-C
Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and recognized a $439,894 gain on such sales.
Similar sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 resulted in
the III-C Partnership recognizing similar gains totaling $73,369.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $22,839 (4.4%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to
27.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 23.4% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase was primarily
due to the decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.
45
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $124,363 (22.0%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease
resulted primarily from upward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil
and gas reserves at December 31, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense decreased to 24.2% for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 from 25.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
The III-C Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$1,696,417 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this
amount, $234,271 was related to a decline in oil and gas prices used to
determine the recoverability of proved oil and gas reserves at March 31,
1997 and $1,462,146 was related to the writing-off of unproved properties.
These unproved properties were written off based on the General Partner's
determination that it was unlikely that such properties would be developed
due to the low oil and gas prices received over the prior several years
and provisions in the III-C Partnership's partnership agreement which
limit the level of permissible drilling activity. No similar charges were
necessary during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
General and administrative expenses decreased $4,314 (1.9%) for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 12.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 10.1%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase was
primarily due to the decrease in oil and gas sales.
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through September
30, 1998 totaling $16,798,795 or 68.70% of Limited Partners' capital
contributions.

Average price/Bbl $ 12.99 $ 19.30
Average price/Mcf $ 1.79 $ 1.83
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales decreased $621,062
(27.2%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this decrease, approximately
$137,000 and $189,000, respectively, were related to decreases in the
volumes of oil and gas sold and approximately $269,000 and $26,000,
respectively, were related to decreases in the average prices of oil and
gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 7,098 barrels and 103,254
Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in
volumes of oil sold resulted primarily from (i) positive prior period
volume adjustments made by the purchasers on two significant wells during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, (ii) a negative prior period
volume adjustment made by a purchaser on one significant well during the
nine months ended September 30, 1998, and (iii) the normal decline in
production on one significant well due to diminishing reserves. The
decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from (i) the
shutting-in of two significant wells during a portion of the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 in order to perform workovers to improve the
recovery of reserves and (ii) the sale of one significant well during
1998. Average oil and gas prices decreased to $12.99 per barrel and $1.79
per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from
$19.30 per barrel and $1.83 per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.
As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources above, the III-F
Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and recognized a $27,168 gain on such sales.
Similar sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 resulted in
the III-F Partnership recognizing losses totaling $120.
55
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $50,323 (5.3%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to
54.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 41.7% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase was primarily
due to the decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold during the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $380,251 (47.3%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease
resulted primarily from (i) the decrease in volumes of oil and gas sold
during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and (ii) upward revisions in the estimates
of remaining gas reserves at December 31, 1997. As a percentage of oil and
gas sales, this expense decreased to 25.5% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from 35.2% for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. This percentage decrease resulted primarily from the dollar decrease
in depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
The III-F Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$2,884,405 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this
amount, $2,078,019 was related to a decline in oil and gas prices used to
determine the recoverability of proved oil and gas reserves at March 31,
1997 and $806,386 was related to the writing-off of unproved properties.
These unproved properties were written off based on the General Partner's
determination that it was unlikely that such properties would be developed
due to the low oil and gas prices received over the prior several years
and provisions in the III-F Partnership's partnership agreement which
limit the level of permissible drilling activity. No similar charges were
necessary during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
General and administrative expenses decreased $4,303 (2.1%) for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 12.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 9.0%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase was
primarily due to the decrease in oil and sales.
56
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through September
30, 1998 totaling $10,937,904 or 49.38% of Limited Partners' capital
contributions.

Mcf produced 92,235 134,769
Average price/Bbl $ 11.17 $ 17.74
Average price/Mcf $ 1.65 $ 1.58
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales decreased $151,829
(38.1%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1997. Of this decrease, approximately
$36,000 and $67,000, respectively, were related to decreases in the
volumes of oil and gas sold and approximately $55,000 was related to a
decrease in the average price of oil sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold
decreased 2,029 barrels and 42,534 Mcf, respectively, for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September
30, 1997. The decrease in volumes of oil sold resulted primarily (i) a
positive prior period volume adjustment made by a purchaser on one
significant well during the three months ended September 30, 1997 and (ii)
a negative prior period volume adjustment made by a purchaser on another
significant well during the three months ended September 30, 1998. The
decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from (i) the
shutting-in of two significant wells during a portion of the three months
ended September 30, 1998 in order to perform workovers to improve the
recovery of reserves and (ii) positive prior period volume adjustments
made by the purchasers on three significant wells during the three months
ended September 30, 1997. Average oil prices decreased to $11.17 per
barrel for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $17.74 per
barrel for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Average gas prices
increased to $1.65 per Mcf for the three months ended September 30, 1998
from $1.58 per Mcf for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $61,037 (29.4%) for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September 30,
1997. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) workover expenses incurred
on several wells during the three months ended September 30, 1997 in order
to improve the recovery of reserves and (ii) the sale of one significant
well during 1998. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 59.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from
52.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage
increase was primarily due to the decrease in the average price of oil
sold during the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1997.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $75,826 (51.4%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease
resulted primarily from (i) the decrease in volumes of oil and gas sold
during the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and (ii) upward revisions in the estimates
of remaining gas reserves at December 31, 1997. As a percentage of oil and
gas sales, this expense decreased to 29.0% for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 from 37.0% for the three months ended September 30,
1997. This percentage decrease resulted primarily from the dollar decrease
in depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
General and administrative expenses increased $598 (1.7%) for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 14.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from 8.6%
for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase
was primarily due to the decrease in oil and sales.
