I-3 ENEX OIL & GAS INCOME PROGRAM III - SERIES 1, L.P. 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.)

Second Quarter 1996 Compared to Second Quarter 1995 Oil and gas sales for the second quarter increased to $34,652 in 1996 from $33,514 in 1995. This represents an increase of $1,138 (3%). Oil sales decreased by $886 (3%). An 8% decrease in oil production reduced sales by $2,385. This decrease was partially offset by a 5% increase in the average oil sales price. Gas sales increased by $2,024 (52%). A 34% increase in the average gas sales price increased sales by $1,489. A 14% increase in gas production increased sales by an additional $535. The increases in the average sales prices correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas. The decrease in oil production was primarily due to natural production declines. The increase in gas production was primarily the result of the enhanced production improvements on the Concord acquisition. Lease operating expenses for the second quarter decreased to a negative $48 in 1996 from $4,619 in 1995. The decrease of $4,667 is primarily due from the settlement of the Company's equity investment in an electric cooperative which resulted from the purchase of electricity used on the Florida acquisition while it was owned by the Company. Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $10,281 in the second quarter of 1996 from $14,083 in the second quarter of 1995. This represents a decrease of $3,802 (27%). A 24% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depreciation and depletion expense by $3,282. The changes in production, noted above, reduced depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $520. The decrease in the depletion rate is primarily the result of an upward revision of the oil and gas reserves during December 1995. General and administrative expenses incurred during the second quarter increased to $6,199 in 1996 from $3,272 in 1995. This increase of $2,927 is primarily due to more staff time being required to manage the Company's operations. First Six Months in 1996 Compared to First Six Months in 1995 Oil and gas sales for the first six months increased to $72,158 in 1996 from $65,535 in 1995. This represents an increase of $6,623 (10%). Oil sales increased by $2,494 (4%). A 19% increase in average oil sales price increased sales by $9,671. This increase was partially offset by a 12% decrease in oil production. Gas sales increased by $4,129 (52%). A 23% increase in average gas sales prices increased sales by $2,272. A 24% increase in gas production increased sales by an additional $1,857. The increases in the average sales prices correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas. The decrease in oil production was primarily due to natural production declines. The increase in gas production was primarily the result of the enhanced production improvements on the Concord acquisition. I-5 Lease operating expenses incurred during the first six months decreased to $12,004 in 1996 from $15,364 in 1995. The decrease of $3,360 (22%) is primarily due from the settlement of the Company's equity investment in an electric cooperative which resulted from the purchase of electricity used on the Florida acquisition while it was owned by the Company. Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $21,969 in the first six months of 1996 from $29,657 in the first six months of 1995. This represents a decrease of $7,688 (26%). A 21% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depreciation and depletion expense by $5,941. The changes in production, noted above, reduced depreciation and depletion by an additional $1,747. The decrease in the depletion rate is primarily the result of an upward revision of the oil and gas reserves during December 1995. General and administrative expenses increased to $14,056 in the first six months of 1996 from $7,953 in the first six months of 1995. This increase of $6,103 is primarily due to 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 and the issuance of additional debt. Accordingly, the changes in cash flow from 1995 to 1996 are primarily due to the changes in oil and gas sales described above and the repayment of $10,204 on a note to the general partner in 1995. It is the general partner's intention to distribute substantially all of the Company's remaining available cash flow to the Company's partners. The Company discontinued the payment of distributions in January 1994. Future distributions are dependent upon, among other things, an increase in the prices received for oil and gas. The Company will continue to recover its reserves and reduce its obligations in 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 expense, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions. On August 9, 1996, the Company's General Partner submitted preliminary proxy material to the Securities Exchange Commission with respect to a proposed consolidation of the Company with 33 other managed limited partnerships. The terms and conditions of the proposed consolidation are set forth in such preliminary proxy material. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant developmental drilling activity. I-6 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. None Item 2. Changes in Securities. None Item 3.
