NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. 2. Principal payments of $2,372 were made on the note payable to the general partner during the first quarter of 1995. Weighted average principal outstanding was $8,065 and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 9.60% during the first quarter of 1995. The note was completely repaid on May 1, 1995. I-4 Item 2Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1995 Oil and gas sales for the first quarter increased from $32,021 in 1995 to $37,506 in 1996. This represents an increase of $5,485 or 17%. Oil sales increased $3,380 or 12%. A 34% increase in average oil prices increased sales by $7,910. This increase was partially offset by a 16% decrease in oil production. Gas sales increased by $2,105 or 53%. A 14% increase in average gas prices increased sales by $751. A 34% increase in gas production increased sales by an additional $1,354. The decrease in oil production was primarily the result of natural production declines. The increase in gas production was primarily the result of enhanced production improvements on the Concord acquisition. The changes in average prices correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas. Lease operating expenses increased from $10,745 in the first quarter of 1995 to $12,052 in the first quarter of 1996. The increase of $1,307 (12%) is primarily due to the changes in production, noted above. Depreciation and depletion expense decreased from $15,574 in the first quarter of 1995 to $11,688 in the first quarter of 1996. This represents a decrease of $3,886 (25%). A 19% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depreciation and depletion expense by $2,667. The changes in production, noted above, decreased depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $1,219. The decrease in the depletion rate was primarily the result of upward revisions of the oil and gas reserves at December 31, 1995. General and administrative expenses increased from $4,681 in 1995 to $7,857 in 1996. This increase of $3,176 is primarily due to $2,885 higher direct expenses incurred by the Company in 1996 coupled with more staff time being required to manage the Company's operations. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Company's cash flow is a direct result of the amount of net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production. Accordingly, the changes in cash flow from 1995 to 1996 are primarily due to the changes in oil and gas sales described above. The Company discontinued the payment of distributions in January, 1994. Future distributions are dependent upon, among other things, an increase in prices received for oil and gas. The Company will continue to recover its reserves and reduce its obligations on 1996. Based upon current projected cash flows from its property, it does not appear that the Company will have sufficient cash to pay its operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions. As of March 31, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant developmental drilling activity. I-5 PART II.
